The Strongest Knight

At the gate of Hongye Hotel, a tall, handsome and luxuriously dressed man walked out from an extended private car.

His eyes swept across the front desk and finally landed on Zuo Qiu.

Being stared at by this young man who seemed full of wealth and nobility, Zuo Qiu felt an inexplicable feeling of inferiority.

If Gray hadn't been directing him in his mind, Zuo Qiu would have wanted to just slip away.

“Is this the quality of your front desk?”

"You can't even tell the authenticity of the seal on the contract scroll?"

Following Gray's instructions, Zuo Qiu frowned slightly, took two steps forward, and raised the back of his hand to point at the young man.

Roy was initially somewhat dissatisfied with the tone of the young man who had just reached his chest, and frowned. After seeing the mark on Zuo Qiu's hand clearly, his frown relaxed slightly.

It turned out to be a special mark produced after signing the soul beast contract.

Roy himself is an apprentice beastmaster, and he also has the mark of soul beasts on his body, so he can naturally tell the real from the fake.

"Mina, don't judge a person by their appearance. If the teacher was here, you would have been fired today."

Mina opened her mouth in disbelief, "But..."

"There's nothing to worry about." Roy shook his head forcefully and turned to face Zuo Qiu.

"You want to join the Red Leaf Beast Taming Hall, right? Sure. I'm one of the directors of the hall. Come in with me." After saying that, he walked inside without caring whether Zuo Qiu agreed or not.

Zuo Qiu smiled apologetically at the pretty receptionist, and at Gray's urging, caught up with Roy.

"But that guy clearly showed only four points of mental strength in the previous test, and he's already an apprentice beastmaster? Could it be that some rich young man is deliberately playing a trick on me?" Mina thought bitterly as she thought about Zuo Qiu's tattered clothes.

When Gray stepped into the Red Leaf Beast Taming Hall again, he felt differently.

When the students along the way saw Roy, they all bowed and greeted him.

"Brother Roy!"

"Director Roy!"

Roy responded bit by bit, and took Zuo Qiu to the stairs at the end of the venue. He walked up the stairs, opened an office on the second floor and walked in.

"The receptionist just graduated this year, so you don't have to take it to heart. Let me formally introduce myself. I'm the director of the Red Leaf Beast Taming Hall, and my name is Roy." Roy extended his hand to the young man in front of him.

It was the first time that Zuo Qiu was treated so formally. Fortunately, Gray was giving him instructions in his mind, otherwise he really didn't know how to respond.

Zuo Qiu stretched out his hand, gently shook Roy's hand, released it, and said, "I'm Zuo Qiu, I want to join the Red Leaf Beast Taming Hall."

Roy nodded and said, "I am honored and welcome to have an apprentice beastmaster willing to join the Red Leaf Beast Taming Hall, but before that, I would like to ask you a few questions."

"Go ahead and ask." Zuo Qiu nodded.

"You are not from Fengyuan City, right?"

“Well, to be honest, I just arrived in Fengyuan today.”

Roy nodded slightly and continued to ask, "You joined the Red Leaf Beast Taming Hall to learn about beast taming?"

"Of course, I signed the soul beast contract by chance, but I have not systematically studied soul beast knowledge, so I want to join the Beast Taming Hall, learn soul beast knowledge, and then become stronger." Zuo Qiu followed Gray's instructions, shook his hand vigorously, and spoke.

Based on his own experience, Roy guessed some things about Zuo Qiu's experience.

This Dongyi boy was most likely the illegitimate son of a wealthy Dongyi businessman. He ran away from home because his identity was not accepted by the secular world and his mother was treated unfairly.

This kind of lonely guy can indeed be accepted as a formal member of the Beast Taming Hall.

"Where are your parents?" Roy asked tentatively.

Zuo Qiu's face darkened. This was not Gray's order. "I don't have any memory of them."

Has the split reached this point? Roy raised his eyebrows.

After observing the worn clothes on Zuo Qiu, he concluded that this young man had probably been wandering for a long time.

Roy thought for a moment and said, "In fact, we at the Red Leaf Beast Taming Hall have another contract for trainee beast tamers. As long as you agree to join us, I can teach you the beast taming knowledge for free."

"What contract?" Zuo Qiu asked.

"You can take a look." Roy opened the desk cabinet and took out a piece of white paper.

Zuo Qiu read it carefully, and as he read, he read it aloud in his mind so that Gray, who was illiterate, could understand what the contract said.

Listening to Zuo Qiu's narration, Gray understood the significance of this contract.

In short, it means officially joining the Hongye Beast Taming Hall, becoming a part of the hall, and sharing the honor and disgrace.

You can use everything in the Beast Taming Hall for free. The knowledge of beast taming is open to the public and you can learn it at any time. You can also receive a thousand yuan in benefits every month. However, when the Beast Taming Hall encounters trouble, you have the obligation to help.

Occasionally, there are some shady tasks, and the Beast Taming Hall will pay corresponding benefits, and you can accept or refuse them as appropriate.

Of course, if you have any grudges or troubles outside, as long as they are not too serious, the Beast Taming Hall will come forward to help you solve them.

......

Gray thought about it carefully and made a decision.

"I'm willing to join." Zuo Qiu said.

"Okay!" Roy immediately took out the contract and wrote his name on it, and Zuo Qiu did the same.

After signing the contract, Roy looked at Zuo Qiu as if he were looking at one of his own.

"The owner of our Red Leaf Beast Taming Hall, who is also my teacher, Charles, is a powerful bronze-level beast tamer and one of the councilors of our Fengyuan City."

"The teacher has six disciples, including you, all of whom are directors of the academy. I am the sixth. Well, you are still quite young. When the teacher comes back and sees you, he may want to take you in as his disciple. You should behave well."

"Under the directors, there are sixteen senior members, and there are currently four hundred and twenty-eight ordinary members."

"This is a set of clothing for senior members of the Red Leaf Beast Taming Hall. You can choose a room on the second floor as your private office. You can wash up inside. The one with the key inserted in the door is vacant."

"By the way, where is your initial soul beast? The third floor of the hall is the soul beast storage. The environment is comfortable and there are people to feed it professionally. Before we become official beast tamers, it is a good choice to keep it there. My white-haired monkey is stored up there."

"Uh, I guess I don't need it." Zuo Qiu pointed his finger above his head: "He is my soul beast. I call him Lucifer."

"Haha, you're such a joker, but I was just about to ask you why you chose a rooster as a pet." Roy couldn't help laughing, and then his smile gradually froze.

Because, under Zuo Qiu's command, the rooster flew wherever he pointed, even flying with one wing, and then using the other wing to pick up the teacup and bring it to Zuo Qiu.
