"If you want to become a knight, even if you are a wild knight without a family crest, even if you may be someone else's servant for the rest of your life, even if you can never become an official knight at this time, as long as you can become a knight, it is enough."

For Cohen. For Esta to be a true knight, it has always been his dream.

But it's a pity that he is not the son of a certain high-ranking nobleman, it is impossible to give a certain ace knight as a squire knight since he was a child, and he is not a genius with good qualifications and talents to let the mentor take the initiative to accept apprentices, he is just an ordinary farmer's child, let alone go to the knight academy to study, he can't even recognize all the words, and he has never even been able to achieve the first step of the ideal.

So, he retreated to the next best thing and aimed to become an ordinary warrior, but the result was even more disappointing.

"No matter what melee class it is, if you don't have the strength, you can't even meet the basic conditions, so you better go back."

He couldn't even carry the sandbag for training, he didn't even use the wooden riding spear, and he couldn't even swing the wooden sword a few times, so naturally no one wanted to accept him.

He was always not tall among his peers, and although his flamboyant blonde hair and delicate face made him quite popular among young people, his slender limbs and extremely poor physical strength always made him a little unconfident.

The fact that even the militia is unwilling to accept him makes Cohen Jr. a little desperate, but even so, he still doesn't intend to give up.

"Since the talent is insufficient, then, let's make up for it with hard work."

As a result, Cohen's neighbors can be seen getting up early in the morning every day and running around the river with sandbags.

And every day after doing farm work, he will go to the shop to help people move goods and work, making money is one thing. He is looking forward to training himself in this way. Boost your stamina.

And while the workout is hard. It's really effective, at least the originally fair and thin limbs have become dark and thick, and in the words of Sister Asha next door, it's finally a bit of a man.

But it's a pity, in a sense, it's probably from a hamster to a squirrel, the combat power has risen from five to six, and the running is no longer breathless. But the heavy objects that couldn't be lifted are still not lifted now, let alone wielding an iron sword for a long time.

Therefore, although he felt good about himself, he was still brushed down at the first level of joining the army, after all, Donglan was really not rich at that time, and he couldn't afford to raise too many troops, and the enthusiasm of the people to join the army and protect the country was very high, and the result was that the number of applicants far exceeded the actual establishment, which invisibly raised the selection standards, and waste materials like Cohen were too far from the qualification line from the beginning. It is simply impossible to be a warrior.

Even so, he was still unwilling to give up on the beginning. It's just that I work harder to polish myself, work hard to accumulate, and hope that there will be a day when there will be an explosion of qualitative change.

But unfortunately, what he dealt with afterwards still failed all the way.

"You can't be a knight, give up. No, no, I'm not talking about your birth, the country of Arashi has always been a hero by military merits, and there are not a few of yesterday's farmer's children and today's knight lords. I'm talking about your strength. How can a soldier who can't even wield a two-handed sword normally go to the battlefield, and how can he have a chance to become a military knight if he can't even go to the battlefield. ”

Impressed by his efforts, a knight-sama originally intended to take him as a servant, but after testing him, he eventually gave up.

"Oh, isn't this our future Knight Lord? Hehe, hello adults, you just came back from the inspection, have you gained anything? Did you challenge a demon or an orc? Or did you just defeat the dragon and return victorious? Ah, the awesome Cohen, he's our dragon-slaying hero, hahaha! ”

When he was still doing physical training in vain, while some people praised and recognized him, those young people who didn't like him would always take the opportunity to laugh at him.

But even so, he still insisted, and at this point, I am afraid that he himself will not remember why he chose this thorny path in the first place.

Was he rescued by the knights when he was attacked by wild beasts when he was young? When you were a child, you were moved by reading the stories of the past? Is it when the knights watching the triumph chant long live? Or is it time to make a vow to protect family and friends with your own hands?

He has no way out, and he does not intend to choose a way out, so he can only continue to persevere

"Believe in yourself, you can do it. I was also very thin when I was a child, and now I am not as strong as ever, by the way, His Royal Highness Roland seems to be planning to form a new legion, do you want to try? ”

Not everyone is not optimistic about him, and every time Big Brother Kurul comes back and sees Cohen working so hard, he encourages him so much.

By the way, for Cohen and the people around him, the big brother Kurul in the same village is a great big man, he is the pride and hope of the Dar village, although he is very young, he has already served as an errand in the Royal Knights, even if he is not officially a knight now, but in the eyes of the villagers, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a real knight.

It's just that recently he adopted a little girl named Aili, who had a hard time, and inexplicably became an unmarried little father with a daughter, which made many girls very sad.

And the encouragement of Brother Kurul made Cohen work harder, but unfortunately, he still failed again and again.

It wasn't until one day that he met a black cat, a weird black cat who could speak human words, that things really took a turn for the better.

"Look, I've found a treasure, it's actually a child of the elements? Make a contract with me and become a magical girl magical boy! ”

Cohen was stunned for a moment, thinking it was a joke by a wizard, but after being confirmed by Big Brother Kurul, he realized that this black cat was a great person, she was the pet of His Royal Highness Roland, and the black cat who had always been able to do magic.

She actually said that she had an excellent talent for magic and wanted to teach herself to become a mage, and there was no doubt that mage was a more promising profession than a knight, and it stands to reason that she should gladly accept it.

but

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness to me, but my goal in life is to become a knight. Maybe the path of the mage"

Well, the black cat's face at that time actually showed obvious surprise, mixed with incomprehensible surprise, which made Cohen worry if he had accidentally offended her.

Half a salary, the black cat continued.

"Okay. A knight is a knight. I'll introduce you to someone. Let him fool and teach you. From the point of view of a knight. He must be remarkable. Well, as a mage is a mallet, maybe he'll be the right mentor for you. ”——

"Roland, I've found your brother."

When I heard this just now, I was stunned, isn't my brother Cavins in the abyss now, how could this dead cat be encountered.

"You are extremely talented in swordsmanship, and you are obviously a warrior. But he ran away to become a mage. He is the son of the elements, born with the qualification of an archmage, but he wants to run away to be a canned (knight), you are all so awkward, what is it that is not a brother? ”

Well, this dead cat doesn't have a lot of virtue, so I naturally cleaned her up.

But I was quite confident in her eyesight, so I became more interested in the child named Cohen and arranged to meet directly.

"Your Highness Roroland. Mistress Heloise says you can make me a knight."

The young man who was trembling in front of me was so excited that he accidentally bit his tongue. Through the system's prompts, I became more interested in it.

【Cohen. Esta, Class: None, Strength 5, Agility 7, Stamina 7, Intelligence 14, Will 11, Charisma 10. Racial Talent: Children of the Elements. System evaluation: Such a scumbag of natural strength actually wants to be a knight, and such a strong mage talent actually doesn't want to be a mage, it's really your brother,]

[Son of the Race Talent Elemental: Lengthy spells are hard to remember?] Complex spell formulas and difficult to understand? None of this is a problem with the children of the elements, they control the elements with instinct, and replace inefficient spells with direct commands, they are natural mage darlings, bastards of magic and elements, and destined archmages. 】

Soon, through the exchange, I almost knew what was going on.

It's no wonder that Heloise would say that it's my brother, and that Lilu Liangwu actually planned to be a melee fighter, but his excellent mage talent was regarded as a trouble that hindered his knighthood, and such an awkward personality was really rare.

And after a short period of getting along, I also like this shy big boy a little, after all, more and more young people are going for "money" these years, and there are fewer and fewer "fools" who are obsessed with ideals, and even fewer who have not been rewarded but are still diligent.

In a sense, I was also such an awkward "stubborn stone", so I accepted him and made him my third servant knight.

"Ahem, in that case, I'll teach you a little bit of the knight's obligatory lessons. Well, first of all, meditation and magic control This is not a knight's lesson, but a mage's lesson? Young man, don't be anxious, please be humble, haven't you heard of the Arcane Knights? This is a compulsory course for a good knight, and it is impossible for an ordinary knight to learn it. By the way, I have a melee class here that might suit you well, why don't you give it a try? ”

Not to mention how I guided (fooled) the young man after that, but at this time, I was very satisfied with the decision I had made, after all, this young man was of great help under the premise that the other two knights were not very qualified.

Even if the direction of the help is a little unreliable

"Brother Roland, I accidentally overcooked the barbecue again, it's a little dark, but I have a gut feeling that it will be delicious. Why don't you give it a try? Maybe the new flavor will be delicious. ”

No, it's definitely not delicious, one side has become charcoal, and the other side is raw meat, how to eat it is a question, and your intuition has never been reliable.

"It's strange, I came in strict accordance with the ratio of the alchemy formula, ten grams of salt, one gram of sugar, how could it be so unpalatable, the decimal point is wrong, the salt is ten times more (ah, the sugar and salt are wrong) Or, you can make do with it."

I should sigh that I really deserve to be an alchemist, and you actually brought a full set of alchemy equipment with you when you were camping outside? Making a lunch actually made the taste of a chemical experiment, but the last thing is what can be so terrible, what is it that is green? Can this be okay? Do you dare to try it yourself before handing it to me? I know what you are doing for you, you have always been a third-rate alchemist, can you do it right by chance?

Generally speaking, as an apprentice, the knight servant is also the knight's personal attendant, as a tradition of knight inheritance, the knight is responsible for the logistics of their knight mentor, and if the knight tutor is not satisfied, I am afraid that the knight servant is strong, and he will not be able to become a formal knight in this life.

Before becoming official knights and teachers, they were both masters and apprentices, as well as master and servants, and many of them were even similar to father and son, but the two servants I chose before were obviously unreliable, and most of the time I took care of them as a mentor, and the enthusiasm and confidence of the exercise were not at all decent.

Renee is a princess and can understand that she has no ability to live in the wild, and Catherine is from a knightly family, and she is also a declining nobleman, so she can understand it without hands-on ability at all.

If it weren't for the fact that Kid Cohen could make some decent broth, or it would have been after a thousand miles of running, and only the tired me would have done it myself, and I wouldn't know who was the one to follow.

According to the expected grouping, originally my three servants should have been in a group with me, but Renee said that she had broken through the golden rank, and with the Roland Holy Sword in hand, she would have been able to stand alone for a long time, and she could do it by herself, without my guidance.

Okay, it's impossible to grow without going through actual combat, I'll let you try, in that case, I'm afraid that you won't have enough manpower, so I'll let the other two servants follow you and make some achievements for me.

But the rank does not represent the actual combat power, in actual combat, a desperate bronze rank can scare this parallel gold rank that has never seen blood, and on the battlefield, a short hesitation may have to pay the price of life.

The result was completely within my expectations, if it weren't for the timely intervention of the Blood Clan assassin in the shadows, I'm afraid that the princess of Donglan would also have to consider changing to the immortal department.

"Little girl, it's still early for you to leave the school."

So after the convergence, with the assistance of the servants, I was even more tired, both hunting rangers and taking care of rookies, being a mentor and a parent, and suffering a lot.

Fortunately, Cohen, who was born as a farmer boy, has at least some ability to live, and can help set up a temporary camp and take care of life, which can be regarded as a great help.

In desperation, I even called out Renee's underground bodyguard, Suzanne of the Blood Clan, and asked her to find a way to teach these rookies the basic skills of survival in the wild, at least the simplest barbecue and broth dishes.

After all, if you live in the wild for a long time, it is not enough to rely on dry food, broth and barbecue are the simplest dishes, but relying on these two alone will inevitably lead to nutritional imbalance, which will eventually affect combat effectiveness.

Therefore, for a mature adventurous team, the ability to survive in the wild is essential, and the famous survival guru Bell. Grylls once said, "Survival in the wilderness is my life, and the wilderness is the most natural food storehouse, and you can eat anything without removing your head!" ”

This time, when I returned to camp after a hunt, I smelled some familiar broth aroma that whetted my appetite.

"Huh? It's so fragrant, and it smells like weeds and spices? Suzanne did a good job, you guys learn so fast, so fast it's like a decent one."

Then I couldn't say the rest of the words, but the girl in the maid costume who was busy in the camp was a familiar shadow that should never have appeared here.

[Ding, Demacia!] A passing wild maid has appeared, thank the maid for saving you from the hell of the unknown compound. Otherwise, what awaits you today is Renee and Catherine's effort concoction – Green Slime Cuisine! Uh, as an insider, I]

directly ignored the system's cuteness, and the beautiful look in my eyes made me feel like I was in a dream.

The familiar bow, the familiar reflection of the lenses, but the unfamiliar is the approaching body temperature and enthusiasm, and at the moment when I was stunned, the wild maid girl had already hugged me.

"Welcome back, hosts. Do you eat first, take a shower first, or do you want to eat me first! ”

Well, I don't know if I can eat you, but the cold eyes like bayonets behind his back really look like they're going to eat people!

"Eliza!?" (To be continued......)
