"Get up," Tilly said flatly, "I know you must be full of doubts at the moment, why the army makes an exception to recruit unofficial residents, why the screening conditions are so weird, and... why do I have to make this explanation And so on. In fact, these issues are complicated to say, but they are very simple after personal experience, so I will not go into details here, just briefly mention a few points.”
"First of all, what you want to join is neither the first army nor the second army, but a new army that my brother intends to form. It is different from any army in the past, so the selection will be more special."
This remark caused a small uproar, and there is no doubt that the new team has a wider path to rise and is less likely to be crowded out. For those of them who have no foundation, it is obviously the best choice to go to a brand new army to develop.
Even an idiot can understand this.
"But your current status can only be regarded as reserve personnel." The princess continued, "Because it is completely different, so I have no reference object, which means that everything has to start from scratch, and the difficulties encountered will inevitably exceed It is hard to imagine that if you have to compare it, the difficulty of your previous assessment is not worth mentioning. Now there are sixteen people standing here, but I am afraid that there are only one or two who can truly become Aerial Knights, or... none at all."
Goode couldn't help taking a deep breath.
What surprised him was not how difficult it was, but the first half of the other party's sentence.
What a knight!
Although I don't know the difference between "Aerial Knights" and traditional knights, it is an incredible thing to allow ordinary people from poor backgrounds to get this opportunity.
As for very difficult
Isn't that natural!
He felt a sudden heat in his heart.
But what shocked him even more was behind
"Besides, since those who really understand what the new army is, in this city... no, it should be said that in this world, there are only me and my brother, and Roland can't be too distracted by this, so I will be responsible for teaching in the future. you."
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, making Goode stunned in place.
Her Royal Highness came to teach them personally
In other words, they have a chance to become the knights conferred by Princess Greycastle
Even without a fief, he is no longer a noble, which is still a great honor, especially for a new immigrant like him who has nothing.
Others were nowhere to be found.
If it wasn't for the fear of the royal being rude and annoying the princess, everyone would have cheered a long time ago.
The rapid breathing around him is the best proof of this.
"The training of all qualified people will be concentrated in the new area of the shoal. You will get a new residence and official identity, and you will become part of the new capital from now on." Tilly reached out and pressed down, "but remember, even if They are reservists and belong to the army. Your movements will be restricted, and if you quit halfway, you will be regarded as defecting. Any behavior that violates the military order will be severely punished, understand!"
"Yes... Your Highness!" Although he was a little absent-minded by the princess' solemn admonition, so that the answer was not loud, but no one showed any regrets.
"Very good, I finally swear to the King of Greycastle," Tilly looked at the tall man at the table, "Veder."
The latter stroked his chest and nodded, then took out a roll of white paper from his arms and spread it out, "Now I'll read one sentence, and you all follow along."
The content of the oath is very simple and easy to understand.
Even too blunt.
For example, this sentence "I have no ill intentions towards His Majesty Roland, nor any hostility towards witches."
Who dares to have it!
Thinking of the legend that Her Royal Highness is also a witch, Goode unconsciously raised his voice to the maximum when he said this, as if he could not show his loyalty if it was lower.
After taking the oath, the guards stepped forward and distributed packages one by one to them.
"From this moment, you are a member of the army." Tilly smiled and said, "The first round of recruitment is expected to last for about a week, and then the training will officially start, and what is in the package is that you must first learn to master Content."
…
When Goode returned to the central square, the sky was already dark, and the people who came to recruit had already scattered, and the uncle and Shan Guo had disappeared.
This was unexpected. No one expected that the assessment would take so long. They still had family members to take care of, so it was impossible for them to stay in the square all the time.
At this moment, he didn't care too much, hugged the package tightly in his arms, and ran towards the temporary living area as if flying.
Joy reverberated in his heart, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength, even if the cold wind hit his face, he could not feel a trace of cold. The snow under his feet made a chirping sound, and the road that was trampled by thousands of people was like a dark-brown road sign. Maybe the snow will cover it all again tomorrow, but now, it is guiding him in the direction of returning home.
Diving into the low and warm earthen hut, Rachel was cooking porridge.
"Sorry... I'm back late, today"
"I know," the girl interrupted crisply, "the uncle next door told me that you found a good job, right?"
Before he could answer, the other party extended his right hand to him.
"What about delicious food?"
"Uh… what?"
"Hey, you said you wanted to bring me egg pancakes!" Rachel raised her mouth in dissatisfaction.
Heck, forgot this whole thing, Goode quickly added, "Next time, next time you can eat one every week! No, eat two!"
"Two?" Rachel questioned. "Really?"
"Of course, this job is not ordinary. I also saw Her Royal Highness!" Goode took off his wet shoes, rolled up half of his trousers, moved to the fire, and carefully took out the package from his arms, "Look, this is the what she gave me."
"What's in it?" For a moment, the girl's curiosity overwhelmed her dissatisfaction with the missed appointment.
"I don't know, just open it and see," Goode lifted the tie and couldn't help but stunned slightly, "This is..."
"Books?" Rachel asked.
He took out everything inside and found that it was actually a stack of books. The cover was printed with different pictures, which looked very beautiful, but unfortunately he couldn't understand a word.
"Can... help me find out what it is?" At this time, he could only turn to Rachel for help.
The girl smiled smugly, "I can't guarantee that I'll recognize them all. Well, this book is about reading and writing... skills, that book is about common... vocabulary... shorthand, and the third book is... "
So are these all things that Shan Guo learned? And the picture on the cover turned out to be another generalization of the content, such as a quill printed on "Reading and Writing Skills", and the large and small three-dimensional letters on "Vocabulary Shorthand"...
For some reason, Goode was slightly disappointed.
He originally thought that what was in it would be the reward of His Highness to the qualified person, and it didn't need to be very precious. Even if it was a volume of letters, it was at least a symbol of honor.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid he'd already started laughing at him for daydreaming. How could Her Royal Highness hand over such ubiquitous elementary education textbooks into his hands
But Goode quickly recovered.
Also, since you want to be a knight, you can't not even know the word.
He does have a lot to learn.
It was then that a book cover attracted Goode.
The thing in the picture he had never seen before, it was like a huge kite, but also like a big bird flying high. The woman, she looks like Her Royal Highness! The ocean gleamed beneath her feet, and what should have been a vast continent became a corner.
This perspective is exactly the same as the scene seen in the first round of assessment!
He felt his breathing slow for a moment.
"Rachel... what is written in this book?"
"Well, let's see," Rachel brought her head closer, "Flight... and... Operation... Well, that's right!" She clapped her hands and read it again, "It's called "Flight Principles and Operations Manual" ."
