Chapter 420, Klose accepts apprentices
After a pleasant meeting with the Queen of Croton, the Queen introduced the Minotaur to Klose, who intended to learn how to govern the territory and skills such as reclamation and development.
"Dear Black Raven King, my name is Ken, and I am very grateful to you for allowing me to study in Morning Light City. On behalf of the Savage Continent and all the Minotaurs, I wish you and your family eternal health and happiness. ”
Although this young man with a minotaur is tall and burly, and his face is fierce, he can speak in a crepe manner, and his manners are no worse than those nobles in all aspects. Klose's first impression of him was pretty good.
"Hehe, you don't have to be so polite. As long as we obey the law in our Black Raven territory, we don't need to bow when we meet a governor or nobleman at most other times. I heard from Her Majesty that you have traveled across the ocean to study and learn from various continents in order to develop your hometown. But I can tell you very responsibly, as long as you don't dislike it, follow me to Chenguang City, you don't have to go to other places~~ This is not my arrogance, but absolute confidence! ”
The minotaur looked into Klose's eyes and was thrilled! Of course he'd heard of the Black Raven King's name! This legendary lord has developed from more than 20 people at the beginning to such a large-scale military empire now, but it only took more than three years!
Moreover, Black Crow is not only a military power, but the rest of the economy, culture, science and technology, agriculture, and politics are already ahead of any force in the Six Kings Continent!
Just imagine, even the dwarf continent, which was the most technologically advanced before, had to come to him to import high-tech goods, so it can be seen how far the black crow has developed?
If the Wild Continent can learn one-tenth of the skills of the Black Crow, I believe it will be able to help the people get rid of barrenness and backwardness, and catch up with other rapidly developing continents!
And what made Ken make this decision was because in recent years, many orcs and orcs on the wild continent have been increasingly sold as slaves by unscrupulous merchants to other continents!
But as a foreigner, it is just a matter of deceiving his compatriots, but some chiefs in the Savage Continent are short-sighted and sell their compatriots on the continent to those unscrupulous merchants for just some small profits!
Ken had tried to communicate with the chiefs of other tribes, but all he got was a vain...
The current wild continent is still in the stage of communication and fighting, and only war can make the other party sit down calmly and listen to you.
But Ken didn't dare to start a war easily.... Once the war spreads to the Savage Continent, more compatriots will definitely be trafficked and slaughtered! That was definitely the last thing he wanted to see.
"Honorable King, it's too late for you to allow me to go to Morning Light City to study! Here, I would like to offer the noblest oath of my Minotaur clan! I would like to serve you as my godfather and serve you as an heir for the rest of my life! To repay the Black Raven King's kindness! ”
Klose didn't expect that the simple and honest Minotaur would react so strongly to what he had just said!
I saw the young minotaur half-kneeling on the ground and pulling out a dagger from his waist.
With this move, the Omega team hiding beside Klose has already turned their guns on him!
But then the minotaur slashed his dagger across his palm, held his blood-dripping hand upward, and swore an oath to Klose.
Klose was slightly surprised, he had heard that this was the highest standard etiquette of the Minotaur clan, just like recognizing a godfather, but it was by no means that simple!
If you accept this etiquette, it is equivalent to having an extra son! A minotaur son! I'll go... What's going on?
Still, Klose was impressed by the sincerity of the young and studious minotaur.
He took a step forward, slicing his own palm with his dagger, overlapping the Minotaur's hand.
The two hands clasped tightly, and the young Minotaur Ken bowed his head slightly, and whispered to Klose "Honorable Father".
Klose's nickname made Klose feel a little strange, but he immediately picked up the minotaur.
"Well, from today, from this moment on, we are our own people, and you will follow me for the time being. There is no need to call the father, it sounds weird, from now on you will call me master~~ But the so-called master leads the door, and the practice is in the individual. I'm afraid I don't have a lot of time to teach you some methods and knowledge in person, and most of the time you have to watch, listen, and learn on your own. ”
Ken nodded and said expectantly, "Yes!" Respect... Kindness... Master! I understand, being able to follow you is probably what countless people on the mainland dream of now! That's enough, it's really enough. ”
Klose nodded, a white light flashed in his hand, and the knife wounds on his palm and the Minotaur's palm immediately recovered.
He showed his hand a little, and the magic of the holy light system not only suppressed the minotaur, but also made the dwarf queen on the side look strange.
"I only heard that the Black Crow King is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, but I didn't expect you to even be able to heal magic? It's really a hero out of a teenager~! ”
Hearing the praise of the dwarf queen, Klose shook his head slightly, and said stinkily: "Hey~~ These are small skills of carving insects, I am a little dabbling, and I will not be able to go further ~~~ Let Her Majesty the Queen laugh." ”
That night, to celebrate Klose's acceptance of the minotaur apprentice, he again ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of meals. It's just that this time it was a family feast, and it didn't invite many people, and it wasn't so luxurious and wasteful, just a few side dishes and a pot of warm wine.
Klose listened to the Minotaur's description of the current state of his hometown, and the more he listened, the more his brow furrowed.
He didn't expect that while electric lights, underground water, spaceships, and warships had been developed here, the continent on the other side was still in a primitive state!
This reminds Klose of the American Indians in the Age of Discovery, who didn't even have wheeled carts.
Indeed, it is a long way to go to help Ken develop his hometown.
However, both Klose and Ken are extremely optimistic about the outcome of this matter.
Because the Wild Continent is too backward! Even a small change can benefit the people there.
The Queen of Croton took her leave after dinner and went back to her room to rest, but Klose and Ken talked late in the study.
This heart-to-heart conversation also gave Klose a deeper understanding of the young minotaur.
It seems that young Ken has great ambitions in his heart, and his heart is extremely tenacious! In order to make a good life for his compatriots in his hometown, he is willing to try any method.
Before they knew it, it was already completely dark, and Klose looked at his watch, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
He straightened up, and was about to end today's conversation when there was a knock on the door outside the study.
"Come in."
The study door opened, and Klose was surprised to find that it was Meloyd who had returned.
Meloyd saw the Minotaur for the first time, and she cast an inquiring look at Klose with a puzzled expression.
The latter hurriedly introduced: "This is Ken, the apprentice I only accepted today!" Ken, this is my wife, Meloyd. ”
The minotaur heard Klose's introduction, and hurriedly bowed down to Meloyd with a big salute, and called out respectfully: "Master."
Meloyd's expression was a little exciting, and she looked at Klose, although she didn't speak, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious. You said that you have twelve heirs in your family, and now you are still running outside to take in apprentices? Also took in a minotaur apprentice? The owner of his own house really doesn't know what to think.
But Meloyd, naturally, would not say such words. She lifted the minotaur up and smiled a smile that was both graceful and tender.
"Hello, Ken. Please forgive me for not carrying any decent gifts, I'll be sure to make up for them when I get back to Morning Light. ”
The minotaur hurriedly waved his hand and said he didn't dare, but Klose interjected on the side: "Baby, why did you come back early?" How's that guy you're following? ”
Meloyd looked at the minotaur and paused. To be honest, she didn't trust the apprentice that the master had suddenly accepted.
Klose also saw her concerns, but it would be too rude and too heartbreaking to let the minotaur out now....
I just said that I would treat others as apprentices, but now I immediately guard against him, didn't I slap myself in the face?
Klose nodded at Meloyd, meaning to tell her that she wasn't afraid that the Minotaur would leak their conversation.
Meloyd still smiled, but she didn't speak, but smiled and picked up a cup of tea on the table and handed it to Ken the Minotaur.
"Ken, drink some water."
Klose didn't understand, why did his wife want to let the minotaur drink water at this time?
But Ken was slightly stunned for a moment, then took the teacup with a natural face, thanked him first, and then raised his head and drank it all.
Meloyd nodded slightly at the determination in the minotaur's gaze, while our lord was still confused.
He felt that the Minotaur seemed to know Melloyd's intentions, but why couldn't he see it?
After doing this, Meloyd spoke softly: "Master, the man I followed had left Port Rousseau by boat and arrived at Port Bominte. It's just that when he left the port of Bominte.... but he was assassinated.... So my tracking was interrupted. ”
"What? Killed!? Klose said with a condensed expression: "I can kill people in front of you.... This killer is not simple! ”
Meloyd said with some reproach on her face: "Actually, I'm too far away from my goal... In order to test the maximum distance I can control the Gu worm, I gradually widened the distance between me and the tracking target, so I was not with the target when he was assassinated.... I just didn't expect someone to guess that he had been followed by me, and I was already very careful along the way. ”
