The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 334 Knight Mentor!

"It's my fault!" Roland raised his hands in surrender, after all, it was his mistake that caused Hollin's "crash".

“But going out like this won’t work! Shouting and yelling will trigger a reaction, and the battlefield is much more exciting than this!” Roland frowned, expressing concern about the griffin riders’ combat capabilities.

"Come on... We should be grateful if they can be sent out to fight within a year! Those griffins are still cubs! Don't be too demanding! They should live under the protection of their parents until they reach adulthood before they can live independently!" Caslo shook his head, indicating that Roland was being a bit greedy. After all, how could high-level magical beasts that could support a family be simple?

"That's true... I was too impatient!" Roland thought for a moment and then chuckled. He had gotten used to everything going smoothly and had overlooked the normal growth path of living beings. It seemed that the Griffin Rider could not be trained quickly. This thing could only be trained over time!

"I'd rather have some dragon blood essence... Sigh!" Roland muttered. After looking around, dragon blood essence still seemed to offer the best value, directly stimulating the creation of dragon knights! But to be honest, it's not like cabbage; you can't expect to get ten or eight doses at once! Dream on! After all, there are only two ways to obtain pure-blooded dragon blood essence: one is through voluntary donation from dragons (don't even think about it; given the generally stingy and greedy nature of dragons, it's already a favor if you don't even have to donate!), and the other is to condense it yourself after slaying a dragon. (Wow! That's even crazier! Unless it's a deeply sinful evil dragon, if Roland dared to summon his dragon knights to slay a dragon, the dragon would probably kill him first...)
"Dragons! What noble creatures... Dragon knights... Tsk tsk tsk!" Roland secretly admired them, unaware that the petrified dragon egg in the space was quietly absorbing the spatial power within the system space.

"Your Highness, if you have nothing else to do, I'll take them to train first!" Seeing that Roland had come with no real business and was mainly just showing off to Nyx, Caslo's face darkened and he started to shoo Roland away.

"Um...you go ahead with your work, let's go look around somewhere else!" Roland said quickly, noticing Caslo's face had turned dark.

……

Roland spent a happy month playing with his cat and dog and spending time with his girlfriend. But good times are always short-lived. One night, after Roland finished his routine "baby-making" exercise, he lay in bed in a daze and before he knew it, it was past midnight. If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected was about to happen!
"System check-in!" Roland lay listlessly on the bed, hugging Nyx, but he had absolutely no interest in the check-in system. In the past month, he hadn't seen any new troop types or found any useful items. The only useful thing was a blueprint for a curved plow, which could effectively improve the farmers' farming efficiency. Roland had already given it to Yunfeng to have carpenters make.

"Sign-in successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Knight Inheritance Mentor*1!" The system's voice came softly.

But Roland, who had been weak and powerless, suddenly perked up. What was that? A knightly mentor? Was it the one he knew?

"Whoosh..." The blanket slipped off as Roland suddenly sat up, instantly exposing Nyx's fair body to the air... Roland quickly pulled the blanket over Nyx, who was curled up from the cold, and seeing Nyx's brows relax, Roland couldn't help but quickly dispel the evil thoughts in his mind.

"Knight Instructor! Knight Instructor! Knight Instructor!" Roland's pupils dilated infinitely with excitement.

"I can train knights myself now!" Roland was so excited he almost cried tears of joy. A knight instructor meant he could mass-produce knights; anyone with battle aura talent could become a knight! And he happened to have a knight's certificate! A knight's certificate was a book printed with a knight's image. Anyone with battle aura talent could successfully become a knight by channeling their battle aura into the certificate. As for the battle aura rocks and crystal balls used to test talent, Roland had no idea how many times he had checked in.

"Hmm... what's wrong, my darling?" Nyx mumbled sleepily as he put his arm around Roland's waist.

"It's alright, silly girl, go to sleep..." Roland said gently, tucking her in with a blanket.

"Mmm..." After a sweet, nasal sound, Nyx's even breathing came through, clearly indicating that she had gone to sleep again.

"Phew!" Roland took a deep breath and lay down...

"So early?" In the early morning, Nyx was awakened by the sound of Roland getting up, and she looked at Roland curiously.

"Okay, you can sleep a little longer, there's no rush!" Roland patted her gently.

"Mmm!" Nyx nodded and buried herself back under the covers...

……

"Your Highness, the man has been brought here!" A weathered old knight was brought before Roland by several guards.

"Who are you?" Roland looked at the old knight kneeling on one knee in front of him, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

"Knight Instructor Adile greets you!" The old knight looked calmly at Roland, but the several scars on his face told no story.

"Huh? Your Highness! Good morning! What brings you here today... Holy crap! A knight instructor!" Yun Feng strode into the lord's hall with an air of nonchalance. The surprise he felt upon seeing Roland was instantly replaced by the sight of the knight instructor before him. It should be known that professional instructors are incredibly powerful beings. The prerequisite for becoming a professional instructor is mastering most of the skills and all the basic skills of that profession. Currently, the only people in the entire kingdom capable of becoming instructors are those professionals of the fifth rank or above, which means that the old man in front of him must have at least the strength of the fifth rank or above.

“It is a pleasure to see you. Your presence gives us hope… The empire is not yet destroyed, and the royal bloodline still flows in the Middle Kingdom… We are willing to serve you, my Majesty!” Adil bowed deeply, addressing you as “Your Majesty.”

“I am not the emperor! Lagrange is no longer the empire that spanned the Middle-earth. Now it is the Kingdom of Lagrange, and I am His Highness the King!” Roland said with a wry smile as he looked at the old man in front of him.

“In my heart you are His Majesty! The Lagrange Empire has always existed... You are the Emperor!” Adile stared intently at Roland.

“Maybe in the future…” Roland shook his head and didn’t continue the topic. He wasn’t concerned about whether he was a king or an emperor, but rather about that damned Sauron and those damned orcs.

“As you wish…” Adile was somewhat disappointed, but his eyes quickly lit up with fighting spirit again.

"Tell me about your special skills!" Roland said excitedly. Forget about kings and emperors, what he needed now was a knight mentor who could mass-produce knights!
"As you can see, I am a Knight Instructor! I can teach all the basic skills of the Knight profession from Tier 1 to Tier 6, as well as some advanced skills and some hidden profession skills!" Adile said proudly.

"Huh? Hidden job skills? You can become a Knight, a hidden job?" Roland was shocked. A job instructor who can help you become a Knight? That's practically a national treasure!
"Of course! I am..."
