Knight with Wand

Discussing territorial affairs with Azarian continued until the sky darkened.

"Brother Leon, dinner is ready." Little Lina's voice sounded outside the door.

He got up and left the house with Azarian, and went to Corvis's room to wake him up. They all went down to the hall on the first floor to have dinner together.

Arriving at the long table that was put together, Leon pulled his two partners to sit down beside him.

The little valets and maids brought portions of delicacies from the kitchen, and the hall illuminated by dim candlelight was filled with people for a while.

The first dinner back in the territory was very sumptuous, including meat, vegetables, soup and wine. Leon did not skimp on food and drink. He had to spend what he had to save in the province. No matter how difficult it was, he would not be short of a few meals.

Now is the age when this body is growing taller. As a knight, this body will be the most important asset on the battlefield in the future.

Leon sat down and waited for the food to be served. He happened to see Elena in an apron coming to the table with the cook Aunt Miliya to help place the food.

"Madam, are you still used to living in Selva?" Leon asked with concern.

Lohark arranged for his sister to stay with him temporarily.

Although this kind lady already knew that her brother had become a knight and noble, she seemed unwilling to be idle. She had been helping Aunt Miliya in the kitchen these past few days.

I heard Azarian say that in her spare time, she would teach the little servants at home how to read, and she would pay special attention and care to the children who had lost their loved ones at home.

Perhaps not only because of kindness, but also because the experiences of these poor children reminded Elena of her two lost biological flesh and blood.

Leon knew something about the other party's experience from Lohak. This woman's husband and children had already been killed when the Holy Land City fell.

Hearing Leon's question, Elena looked up and hurriedly hugged the plate and saluted: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Lord. The people in Selva are very friendly. I like your place very much."

"Just call me by my name. Not only are you Rohark's sister, you also took care of me in the cage. You were kind to me. There is no need to be so respectful. Besides, not long ago, I was just a homeless civilian. That's all." Leon pointed to the still large long table in front of him and said, "There are enough seats. Don't go back to your room to eat. Come dine with us from now on."

As he spoke, he also greeted his servants.

"Same for you. Anyway, there are no outsiders at home today. Aunt Miliya, take the children to wash their hands, bring some food, and sit down to eat. Oh, by the way, Lina, go and call Hawke."

In the privacy of his own home, Leon did not care about the red tape between master and servant.

If outsiders were around, he still had to deal with it, but there were so many feudal rules at home, making him feel uncomfortable like a rich man.

If there are more people under his command in the future, he may have to maintain order in the living environment according to the nobility's charter, but right now there are only a few people in the big house, so it's really pointless to do that.

Aunt Miliya was a little flattered. Even if the village woman didn't know much, she knew that it was rare for servants and lords to dine at the same table.

However, young servants like Lina and the others are still children after all, so there is no psychological burden at all.

After hearing their lord's words, the boys and girls happily brought the food and sat down along the long table.

After everyone sat down, Leon picked up the tableware with satisfaction and started the rich food in front of him, which also signaled the beginning of dinner.

Although the various spices on this continent are not cheap, they are not so scarce that they cannot afford it, and Aunt Miliya and Ms. Elena's craftsmanship are also quite good.

Eating a dinner that tasted great even from the perspective of a modern person on earth, Leon looked around at his large family in the hall.

Seeing Lina's greedy eyes peeking at the sizzling barbecue in front of him, he simply stood up and divided the roast lamb in the middle of the table, and asked Miliya to give it to the children for extra meals.

Seeing the happy expressions of the little servants holding back their cheers, Leon felt at ease, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

For no reason, he seemed to feel the gaze of Corvis next to him. He turned around and looked at the incomprehensible look in the blond boy's eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in question.

Corvis shook his head quietly, then lowered his head and continued to eat.

Leon looked at the equally gentle manners of him and Azarian beside him, and the dining process was full of etiquette.

Looking at his companions on both sides, he felt that it was a pity that Rohark was still in Lonka, otherwise it would be even more lively if everyone gathered together.

Also, next time you have a dinner party, invite Olivia from next door to come over for dinner.

Thinking of this, Leon suddenly discovered

Unknowingly, I already have so many interpersonal relationships in this world.

It is even said that compared to the social interactions that were isolated by the steel jungle in his previous life as a social animal, the sincere emotions he has had here in just over two months far exceed the total of more than twenty years in his previous life.

Azarian, Lohark

Miss Laura, Olivia, Corvis.

Leon couldn't help but think, if his soul still had a chance to return to Earth, would he still be willing to leave these partners and friends?

If he didn't consider his parents who were still on earth, Leon felt that the answer might be yes.

A large table of fourteen people worked together to finish the dinner without any waste.

After eating and drinking, the servants cleaned up the mess, and Leon went upstairs to wash up and go to bed.

He will set out again tomorrow morning, heading to Mamor County to find the feudal lord in the front-line military camp.

But this time he will not go out in danger, Leon does not plan to bring his companions, and it will not take too long for him to go and come back quickly.

After all, Azerian also has to go to Pleton as soon as possible to deal with the affairs of that territory and raise resources.

Leon will need to preside over the affairs of Selva's territory in the future.

After discussion, in order to share the pressure of money and food, Leon plans to divide the six ordinary war horses currently raised in Selva into three parts.

In addition to their own noble war horses, Azerian and Lohak each raise two horses on the pastures of their respective territories.

And in the future, as long as the two of them find suitable attendants, they can use the two qualified war horses and the armor and weapons currently in stock to equip their own attendants as soon as possible.

At present, everyone has knight plate armor, sabers, and necessary long weapons in their hands, in addition to the three people's own use.

A total of fifteen sets of cavalry armor can be assembled in the warehouse.

Olivia used one set.

The remaining fourteen sets of cavalry armor include the Cantadar-style squire cavalry plate chain composite armor and the mixed armor of the Uriah hired cavalry.

Although the defensive performance is far inferior to the iron can plate armor of the knight master, it is already quite luxurious and extravagant heavy equipment compared to the common simple leather and cloth armor of the peasant conscripts.

If the spare Uriah warhorse can be used as soon as possible to recruit skilled riders, then with the equipment of Leon and the other three, nine heavy cavalrymen will be a small force that cannot be ignored even on the real battlefield.

As for dealing with ordinary beasts, ordinary soldiers, and bandits? That is even more of a dimensionality reduction attack.

The remaining cavalry armor can also arm nine heavy infantrymen.

In addition, the various styles of extra sabers, spears, and Uriah long swords in the warehouse can also equip more than thirty light infantrymen as long as some shields and leather armor are purchased.

Of course, with no extra money at the moment, Leon and Azerien can only postpone the future recruitment plan indefinitely.

The most urgent task is to use limited resources on the cutting edge.

Including themselves, they can raise a standing force of nine heavy cavalry and nine heavy infantry, which is already amazing.

Thanks to the "friendly donation" of the defeated army of Baron Dason, although Leon often complained about being poor, in fact, the weapons they have are much richer than most ordinary lower-level knights, but they just have no money and no food.

Eighteen heavy armor units, with dozens of temporary militias assembled in emergencies.

As long as they are not unlucky enough to encounter a large group of elite cavalry from the enemy country like before, even if they are attacked by ordinary soldiers or bandits of more than a hundred people, they are enough to deal with it.

After washing up, Leon sat on the bed with a lot of thoughts in his mind and prepared to take off his clothes and go to bed.

He thought to himself that if he really counted, there was still a hidden "hero unit" in his territory.

If Selva encounters danger again, how many invading knights can Olivia, wearing a full set of armor and weapons, fight?

Thinking of this, Leon felt relieved.

As long as Olivia still lives here, she is his treasure and trump card.

——Bang bang.

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Leon, who had just unbuttoned his collar, couldn't help but look at the door.

"Who? Lina?"

"No, it's me, Corvis, Leon, are you asleep?" The boy outside the door answered.

"That's not the case."

Leon got up, went forward to open the door, and saw Corvis outside the door, and couldn't help asking puzzledly: "What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep so late?"

". Is it convenient to go in and talk?"

Corvis looked at the aisles on the left and right, and didn't think it was appropriate to express his intentions in such a simple occasion as the corridor.

"Oh, of course." Leon stepped aside and asked again: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

He asked, muttering in his heart.

Could it be that Corvis is not used to living in this small village and wants to leave in advance and run away?

Leon knows that the simple and primitive rural life on his territory is definitely far inferior to the luxurious residence of Atias where the other party lived in the past.

But he really doesn't want to let this friend who knows magic go.

Even if Miss Lola is more than qualified to be his magic consultant in the future, even if she uses the Neti card to appear, the wizard lady cannot leave the earth vein node.

At present, the only talent who can follow him at any time and actually apply magic is Corvis.

As a poor knight, Leon can't afford other spellcasters, let alone spellcasters. Until now, he can't even afford an apprentice herald officer.

And how important is a wizard consultant. The magical healing spell that the boy uses to replenish physical strength is immeasurable.

In the future, if they encounter frequent battles and the three are exhausted, they can directly find him to recharge and immediately become full of energy. It is like a second life.

Besides, the other party is not only good at this, but also at invisibility, detoxification, and magic detection.

But Leon knew with his heels that even if people who know magic have no relatives in the Western Continent, there are still many good places to go.

They will not be as desperate as the three ordinary fugitives.

Leon still remembers what the warlock consultant of Trosa said, how rare the spellcasters are on this continent.

And Corvis is in Orland, even if he does not work as a staff and consultant for the higher-level nobles, he can go to the north to join the so-called "magic association", and his future is limitless.

What should I do?

Just when Leon was thinking about how to keep this friend.

He turned his head and saw the blond boy who entered the room

actually kneeled down on one knee in front of him.

"What are you doing?"

Leon was stunned.

Corvis bent his knees with his hands behind his back, and looked directly at the friend in front of him: "It's just a request."

"I will definitely help you if you have something to do, there is no need to be like this." Leon frowned and wanted to reach out to help the other person up.

Unexpectedly, the boy raised his hand, grabbed his wrist tightly, and stopped him with a tough attitude.

Corvis looked directly at Leon's puzzled eyes and took a deep breath.

".I am Corvis Arendel.

The last descendant of King Verania.

I hope to swear allegiance to you.

I hope to be your shield.

I hope to be your sword.

I hope to be your attendant.

I swear to hold high your banner!

I swear to defend your honor with my life and soul."

The ancient oath was solemnly spoken word by word by the blond and golden-eyed boy.

Leon raised his eyebrows and froze on the spot.

Not only did he not expect that Corvis's grand move was to pledge allegiance to him.

He was also shocked by the identity in the boy's oath.

The last descendant of King Verania?

The descendant of the king?

Corvis is the prince of Verania? !

Is it true? !

If it is true, as the prince of Verania, why would he want to be his knight attendant?

Even if, even if, even if that kingdom has been destroyed, causing him to be a slave and humiliated for many years as a prince.

But how could he, a mere knight from a rural village on the border of Orland, become the lord served by a prince?

Although Leon knew that he didn't care about the so-called bloodline identity, he also understood that people in this world couldn't be as indifferent as he was.

Otherwise, Corvis wouldn't have directly revealed his identity.

Leon hesitated and re-examined the friend in front of him who he had only known for a few days.

Looking at Corvis's calm and firm eyes, the young man obviously didn't mean to joke.

Pursing his lips, Leon finally put aside his doubts and concerns.

Regardless of the authenticity of the identity the other party said, he could feel the force coming from his wrist being tightly grasped.

At this time, Leon was unwilling and could not insult such a heavy determination.

Besides, he didn't want to let this talent go, regardless of whether Corvis was a prince of a fallen country.

Leon nodded, and in accordance with Knight Balf's past teachings, he responded to the other party's oath of allegiance:

"I am the Knight of Orland.

The Lord of Selva.

Leon Pendragon, I accept your allegiance.

I will give you a sword and armor.

I will allow you to hold my coat of arms high and guard me."

After hearing the promise, the blond boy lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing him let go of his wrist, Leon hurriedly helped him up from the ground, and said helplessly: "According to convention, I should have given you a sword when I said this, but you were too sudden at night and didn't give me time to prepare."

Corvis shook his head and smiled.

"Your answer is already the best reward for me, my lord."
