On this day, the sun was high in the sky, but the training did not go on as usual in the parade ground.

Even several militiamen and stewards from the manor came.

Although it was right under their noses, to be honest, no one really paid attention to Derek's training.

Training militiamen sounds like a big deal, but it is actually just a small test.

No one has ever been stuck at a level.

Because they don't have the strength, that's also a relationship. If it doesn't work, they can find a few farmers with a foundation and get through it.

No one will deliberately make things difficult for this point. After graduation, they will just have an additional knight title. Those who are tested are all children of nobles, and they will have the title of honorary knights after they become adults.

Derek also understood it in his heart, so he was calmer.

When the sun was high in the sky, there was finally a sound of horse hooves, and all the stewards who were sitting in the corner of the parade ground stood up.

Knight Cloya, the flag captain, was also the examiner this time.

The flag captain of the Knights' Order nominally managed fifty to one hundred knights, which was considered a minor official.

In fact, the Knights were originally the main fighting force under Count Perez, and the status of the flag captain was higher than that of the average five-centurion.

This status was just right for him to serve as an examiner for the knight's final examination.

Derek smiled. Although there would be no trouble, it would be better to meet an acquaintance for the final examination.

Yes, this person was an old acquaintance of his father, Leandro Ferreira.

To be precise, his full name should be Von Derek Ferreira.

Von is his first name, Derek is the surname of his knight title, and Ferreira is his original surname.

Accepting the name Derek means that he has no intention of competing for the family business, otherwise he would not call himself Von Derek so early.

Although the two are very familiar with each other, it is completely invisible on the surface.

Rejecting the courtesy of the steward, the captain of the Kroya flag began the examination in a serious manner.

From militia skills, physical fitness, to marching in formation, retreating and turning under the command of drums and trumpets.

They are all basic things, and this team of militia has completed them well.

If he hadn't known that Derek didn't need to cheat here, Croa would even think that he was cheating.

But he quickly rejected this possibility. Feng, who had already submitted an application for retirement, didn't need to do this again.

"So... he really has a good talent."

The captain of the Croa flag quickly finished the scoring and announced on the spot: "Congratulations, Derek, your results... are top-notch."

Derek smiled and dismissed the militia, and came to the Croa knight, and then he regained his relaxed attitude.

"Uncle Croa, I didn't expect you to come for the assessment."

"Anyway, I have to go, why not come and see you," Croa explained, and suddenly asked: "Retire from the Knights, are you ready to go home?"

He asked this question, which is the choice of most noble knights.

Leaving the fiercely competitive Knights and returning to the family to participate in family affairs is also a good way out.

But surprisingly, Derek shook his head and said: "No, you know the situation of my family. There are too many brothers, and I don't need one.

I'm going to be a wandering knight."

Wandering knights, officially known as free knights.

Waiting for the nobles to hire and confer titles, and usually traveling around the world, doesn't it sound awesome?

In fact, it's just a mercenary. No noble would recruit a wandering knight from outside.

Even for a great noble like Count Perez, there are enough knights in the family and the knights under his command. Even if the fiefdom is granted, it's up to outsiders?

For a baronial family like the Ferreira family, the fiefdom itself is not enough. If there are many brothers, they can organize a flag team. How can outsiders take the lead?

Except for a few lucky ones, there is no chance.

As a wandering knight, it means organizing a small team of mercenaries to complete some tasks such as armed escort and bandit suppression, and wandering around.

When the war comes, they will choose to fight, and maybe they will get a fiefdom.

There are too many instability, danger, and disadvantages.

Kroya was a little surprised. Derek is a relatively outstanding young man. In addition, today he saw his ability to train militias. Why did he choose to be a wandering knight?

After thinking for a while, he began to recruit: "Maybe you can go to my territory to help. If you want to fight for a title in the future, I can sponsor you a team of soldiers."

This treatment is very superior.

Especially sponsoring a team of soldiers, you know that the price is not small.

To be honest, Derek was a little tempted.

But after looking at the data panel, he instantly calmed down: "Thank you for your favor, but I already have a plan."

Kloya didn't feel embarrassed at all. It's normal for young people to have ideas.

"If you change your mind, you can come to me."

After handing over the badge representing the knight, Derek actually already has the title of knight, surname, emblem, pennant, nothing missing.

So what Count Perez can give is a knight badge, which means that he has served as a knight.

However, this is also inflated. In fact, he served as a knight apprentice, but doing so is more face-saving and easier for knights who were not selected to find a good place.

If you join the Knights, the handover will not be so simple, and there will be a chance to meet the count at the ceremony of conferring.

Of course, there was also the reason why Derek was unwilling to try to join the Order. At the inauguration ceremony, he had to declare his allegiance to Count Perez.

You know, the relationship between the lord and the vassal is very strong, and betrayal and finding a way out are almost impossible, otherwise it is difficult to survive.

Without absolute strength, Derek does not want to go this way.

It is better to take advantage of freedom and hang out alone.

After sending off the Knight of Croa, Derek packed his luggage and said goodbye to the manor steward and the militia he trained.

"Goodbye... my knight apprenticeship."

In the sun, Derek did not have any regrets, he knew he would have a very perfect future.
