From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 9: Three Attendants

In the early years, in order to upgrade, Lane ran everywhere to receive tasks, which is now “taking commissions” in the eyes of people. In order to gain more experience, it is natural to pursue a higher degree of task completion, compared with the general bounty hunter’s practice of cleverly plundering the people, Lann is widely loved among the people, and has also won the name of “Lannister, a promise”.

But in any era there are miscreants, even mobs. In the original work, there are villagers who entrust the demon hunter to hunt monsters, and then trick the demon hunter into the barn in order to save the commission fee in an attempt to attack and kill the other party.

In the original novel, the protagonist Geralt also encountered Lai Jiao more than once, and there were even cases where villagers couldn’t wait to sell his horses and share their luggage while the demon hunter was out hunting monsters.

Many demon hunters debuted with the mission of killing monsters and protecting civilians, and the demon hunters of the Gryphon School even pursued chivalry. But after a long time, everyone has become “mutants without feelings”. The reason for this is not humane.

As a nobleman of Sintra, Rann naturally does not exist in Sintra, and there are no mobs who dare to attack and kill him, but there are always slippery heads who want to pretend to be pitiful or play scoundrels.

For this situation, if it is really a broken family and can’t get money, Lan is not so hard-hearted, he himself is for experience rather than money, in this case he will even fund the other party within a reasonable range.

Getting a heartfelt thank you or two is also an emotional service, isn’t it?

And for those who are really scoundrels, Rann always has a way to recover his own “reward”. Only occasionally this process is accompanied by other “collateral destruction”.

“Lannister, if there is a debt, it must be paid” spread. Rann was happy about it.

At three moon o’clock, Lane returned to his mansion, where the courtyard and building were brightly lit.

Ten candidates for attendants stood precariously in the courtyard, most of them already soaked. It seemed that Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the count’s return, and the guys who were originally bent and lazy once again straightened their bodies and put on a straight look.

Lane glanced at him, turned his head to Hardy who came out and asked, “Have they been standing here all day?” I mean the motionless kind. ”

When the attendant candidate heard this question, his already bloodless face became even paler. Several of them, who may have communicated with Hardy on a regular basis, still look at Hardy from a perspective that Rann can’t see, either pleading or winking.

Hardy ignored it and replied with a straight face: “No, there is no one who is motionless.” ”

Lane nodded, something expected. No one can fight in a straight posture all day without systematic training, he just wants to try his luck, in case something strange happens in this fantasy world.

Turning around, Lane pointed to the three people who had the most dust on their bodies, and their clothes were so waterlogged that they almost wet the ground under them, and said:

“These three remain, and the rest -”

Lord Count Lannister glared sharply: “Where did it come from, go back!” ”

The originally pale teenagers could no longer support the fall to the ground by this roar, and they did not have the courage to say a few more words, and even crawled out of the mansion.

Only the remaining three teenagers suddenly stood even more straight as if they had injected strength.

Although becoming a “squire” does not say that he stepped into the level of nobility, he was definitely separated from the commoner class. Even many “knights” were promoted from attendants or guards who had made meritorious achievements.

Although almost all the “attendants” are only stones under the feet of real nobles all their lives. But becoming an attendant is, in a sense, half a foot in the upper class.

Noble children who do not have the right of family inheritance will choose to become the attendants of the children of the great nobility in order to become true nobles. Even many concubines with inheritance rights choose to become attendants of the king or duke as an exercise and to expand their network. Of course, the latter will still return to the family to inherit the family business after a few years.

Therefore, most of the teenagers who are qualified to become attendants are born well and have flexible brains. Sometimes he is a little clever and likes to be lazy. For example, several teenagers who have just been eliminated by Lan.

The crisis of annihilation is approaching step by step, and Lan is extremely thirsty for every strength. This is why he urgently wants to divide the power of the army, and at night he spends a lot of money to invite the city guards to drink.

You must know that in this era, most of the officers or nobles are detained to death, it is not bad not to squeeze oil and water from the soldiers, and the recruits in many places even have to bring their own equipment. Why? Because the supplies equipped by the state became the private property of the officers.

A lot of military knowledge that Rann considered common sense seemed to be at the level of “military gods” in this era.

For example, in the previous life, elementary school students would remember “knowing oneself and knowing the other, and a hundred battles will not be lost”. The low-level officers of this era will only “point people together, rush me!” “。

Either rush to the opposite side or be washed away. Unpretentious and brainless.

Even “with the son” and “with the pawn” to increase cohesion and gain the hearts of the army, it is even more impossible. Because Lao Tzu is a nobleman, what kind of joke is he making to eat with you?

Lan only hopes to unite some warriors through his own methods, and let them become his own power when the country is destroyed. At present, it seems that the results can be achieved, and it is all up to peers.

And Lan’s “attendants” are his lineage in the future, and they are destined to become a force. So for his orders, absolutely obey.

Len didn’t have the effort to personally rule out those clever instability, and in order to avoid being stabbed at a critical moment, he simply did not accept it in the first place.

Lan looked at the remaining three attendants and said, “Now you can tell me your names.” ”

The three remaining young men excitedly introduced themselves to Rann.

A tall young man with broad shoulders named Ace introduced himself as the third son of a knight, skilled in crossbows and bows. Good crossbowmen were rare, and Lane planned to find a time to try him.

A thin young man named House, whose father was the king’s horse keeper, was indispensable for every knight.

There is also the only young man with a sword, which also makes him bear more pressure today than others, but the degree of trembling of his face and body is no worse than that of the others around him, and he is obviously practicing martial arts.

This man Lan Encha also has an impression, his name is Sward, his father was a non-commissioned officer under Lan En’s father, and died early on the battlefield. Rann’s father found the guy an apprentice job in the smithy.

Now hearing that Ran had recruited attendants, he abandoned his job in the smithy.

“I will be the sword in your hand just as my father followed your father! ”

The young attendant Sverde shouted hoarsely and excitedly, speaking in his voice that had not been in rice water for a day. The frenetic look even startled Hardy.

Rann smiled and nodded, accepting the three men as a preliminary acceptance, and then let Hardy take the three to the room prepared for the attendants to rest.
