The Knight's Journey to the Empire

In the private room on the third floor of Ford Restaurant, when Kezero heard Soran's answer, he immediately burst into laughter, full of confidence and high spirits.

He picked up a glass of wine, walked up to Soran, patted Soran's shoulder condescendingly, looked straight into Soran's eyes and said, "Good brother, I was right about you. I knew you would agree to me. Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future. Now, come, let's have a drink!"

Soran looked up at Kzero. From his angle, he could see Kzero's handsome face from head to toe.

So he also picked up the glass and drank with Kzero.

"Okay, now let's talk about your salary. Brother, how many gold coins do you want a month?" After toasting, Kzero returned to his seat and poured another glass.

Ok?

Salary? What's the situation? Buy with money? One-night stand?

"What's the salary?" Soran asked, pretending not to know.

"Of course I'll give you a salary. Why, as my squire knight, do you want to follow me for free?" Kzero said jokingly.

"Squire Knight? What Squire Knight?" Soran was a little confused, and his brain didn't react for a while.

"Of course they are the squires who follow me, obey my orders, are loyal to me, and do their duty for me!" Kzero also discovered that something was wrong with Soran, so he enthusiastically explained to him.

"Oh, haha...it's this squire knight. I thought it was something else!" Soran laughed to hide his embarrassment.

"Is he really just a squire knight?" someone asked unwillingly.

"Yes, it's the Knights of the Regiment. What's wrong?" Kezero looked at Soran again: "Student Soran, there's something wrong with you today!"

"No, no, no, ..." Someone hurriedly covered up, and then said: "My stomach hurts, I'm going to the toilet!"

Soran quickly got up and left in a hurry.

Leaving behind a confused Kezero.

What's going on? Weren't we just chatting happily?

.........

Formal professional knights can recruit people who are willing to follow them to serve as their squire knights or knight attendants and form their own knight team.

The squire knights are the knight's trusted subordinates, but they are also the knight's comrades who charge into battle on the battlefield. They follow their knight leader to fight together and advance and retreat together.

A knight's squire is a servant who serves the Knight-General in his daily life, including taking care of war horses, cleaning armor, washing clothes and cooking, etc. His status is equivalent to that of a servant.

It can also be seen from here that the status of a squire knight is higher than that of a knight squire, because a knight squire does not have to go to the battlefield.

Usually, formal knights would recruit their own squire knights from apprentice knights with certain training experience, and recruit knight squires from ordinary people.

Apprentice knights dare not say it, but many ordinary people hope to join the group of knight squires.

Because this is also a way to improve social status, the status of a knight's squire is much higher than that of a commoner.

If you meet a kind knight commander, you can even be taught the training methods of knighthood and become a squire knight or a formal knight.

So many people are trying their best to get in.

This is actually one of the reasons why the graduation competition of the Donbass Knight Academy is so popular.

……

"Student Kzero, I've just thought about it carefully. I can't agree to you. I won't be your squire knight!" Someone said bluntly after coming back from the toilet.

It feels like when someone does something passionate and then throws two tissues to others and tells them to "wipe it yourself".

"But you just agreed! Are you going to go back on your word so soon?" Kzero was a little shocked.

You regretted going to the toilet, are you so casual? Where is your chivalry? Did you lose the toilet?

"Just now was just now, now is now, I regret it now!" Sauron was just playing dirty.

"Do you think I can't give you a future? You probably don't know my identity yet, and the salary I offer you is very high. As long as you say it, I will agree!" Kzero obviously didn't want to give up and hoped to retain Sauron.

"What is your identity?" This information successfully attracted Soran's attention: "What is your identity? Are those rumors true?"

"What do you think, classmate Soran? There is no smoke without fire!" Kezero said helplessly: "My current name is Kezero, but I also have another name, which is Kezerovinia Barbatos."

"Barbatos..." Soran murmured, then remembered something, frowned and asked, "Is it the Barbatos from Cassel County?"

"What else? How could there be a Barbatos in the Kingdom of Midburg?" Kzero spread his hands.

Barbatos of Cassel County refers to a great noble family with a long history in Cassel County. This great noble family is a marquis family, and Barbatos is the surname of this marquis family.

This is one of the top noble families in the entire Kingdom of Midburg.

"That's not right. I've never heard that the noble man has a male heir?" Soran asked doubtfully.

The family of the Marquis of Barbatos has always been sparsely populated, with only one heir for several generations. However, in this generation, there is only one female heir.

And unfortunately, the female heiress seemed to have some mental problems, or rather, intellectual disabilities.

It is also for this reason that many official knights will follow Marquis Barbatos, hoping to gain the Marquis's appreciation and eventually become his son-in-law and rise to fame overnight.

Of course, someone would not admit that he had such thoughts. He just wanted to follow the strong and achieve great things.

"There is indeed no such thing on the surface, but what about secretly?" Kezero asked Soran helplessly: "After all, you also know the other nickname of this Donbass Knight Academy!"

"It's the alliance of bastards and illegitimate children. I know!" Soran laughed at himself. He also knew the source of Kzero's helplessness.

"Well, now that you've thought it through, how about being my squire knight? I can give you whatever you want." Kzero extended the olive branch again.

Soran forced a smile and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "How can you be sure that you can give me what I want? After all, to put it bluntly, you are just a bastard without any inheritance rights."

In the Knight Continent, according to the legal system, an illegitimate child without a title has no inheritance rights. If the lord wants to give a title to the illegitimate child, he needs the consent of the feudal lord.

This legal system was originally used to protect the inheritance rights of the heirs in line.

However, the laws of the Kingdom of Midburg also stipulated that hereditary territories without heirs would be taken back by the feudal lord and become his direct territory again.

"You don't have to worry about this. You just need to know that I can give it to you," Kzero said in a firm tone, "I swear on the name of Barbatos!"

"Also, let me reveal another piece of news to you," Kezero looked directly at Soran and continued, "As soon as the matter at the academy is over, I will go directly to follow Marquis Barbatos, and then I will naturally be appreciated by him, and then I will be canonized as a noble and become the most loyal guardian of the Marquis Barbatos family!"

Even such a secret thing can be revealed. It seems that this Kzero really wants to recruit Sauron.

But in fact, he still hid some things from Soran.
