Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 33 Knight's Badge (All three chapters will be released at the same time, please read it later)
Robin raised his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "My Lord, please give me your orders."

Lord Brot turned and walked to the desk. He took out a silver badge from the drawer and handed it to Robin. "This is the badge of the Brot family's knight apprentice. From today on, you are an official knight apprentice. I hope you can continue to work hard and become a true knight soon."

Robin took the badge and was very excited.

The status of a formal knight apprentice not only means higher status and treatment, but also means that he will have the opportunity to access more advanced training resources and breathing methods.

This means that in the future, when Robin becomes an official knight, he will be directly under the lord's private army, rather than the territory barracks, and the treatment of the two will be worlds apart.

Robin solemnly pinned the badge on his chest and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Lord! I will definitely not let you down!"

Lord Blot nodded with satisfaction, then his tone turned serious. "Also, I'm about to go into seclusion to reach the realm of Grand Knight. During this time, the affairs of the territory will be handled by Grand Knight Commander Damia. The barracks are short-staffed, so you'll serve there for the time being!"

Robin nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Lord Blot smiled and patted Robin on the shoulder: "Very good. I believe you will not let me down."

Lord Blot stood at the window of his study, his gaze deep into the distance, as if lost in thought. His fingers tapped the windowsill gently, creating a rhythmic sound. Inside the study, a half-human sculpture in the corner slowly moved, a faint glow emanating from its stone surface, as if infused with life.

"Teacher, what do you think of this young man? Does he have the qualifications to become a wizard?" Lord Blot suddenly spoke, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

The sculpture's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from a distant time and space. "It's hard to say. Those who learn the Knight's Breathing Technique faster do have a higher chance of practicing the Wizard's Meditation Technique, but it's only a high chance. Unfortunately, I'm at the academy and can't go over to help you test it for the time being."

Lord Blot frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of resentment: "Really? In all these years, I haven't found a single person in my territory who is suitable for the wizard's meditation method. Is the aptitude of a wizard really that rare?"

The sculpture sighed slightly, a hint of helplessness appearing on its stone face. "Don't worry. Wizarding talent is rare. Didn't a wild wizard recently appear in your territory? If you capture him, maybe you can use his talent to become a wizard yourself."

A cold glint flashed in Lord Blot's eyes, and he nodded. "I've already sent Brothers Malizzi and Kane to track him down. Since that wild wizard dared to operate in my territory, he must pay the price for it."

The sculpture's voice echoed again, with a hint of warning: "Remember, wizards are cunning and unpredictable. Don't underestimate them. Although the Malizzi and Kane brothers are powerful, they should be cautious when facing wizards."

Lord Blot sneered, his tone full of confidence: "Don't worry, teacher. I have made all the necessary preparations. As long as that wild wizard dares to show up, he will definitely not be able to escape from my grasp."

The sculpture said nothing more, and its stone surface gradually returned to calm, as if it had become an ordinary statue again.

Lord Blot turned around and his eyes fell on the Earth Violent Bear Demon Core on the desk, which was emitting a faint glow.

His fingers gently stroked the surface of the magic core, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"As long as I become a wizard, coupled with the strength of a great knight, no one in this territory will be able to threaten me." Lord Blot muttered to himself with a hint of fanaticism in his tone.

Meanwhile, Robin and his three companions had already returned to the barracks. He was unaware that his every move was being closely watched by Lord Blot.

He touched the badge on his chest, his heart filled with anticipation for the future. Grand Knight Damia looked at Robin with a hint of relief in his eyes: "Robin, the lord has high hopes for you. From now on, you must work harder and not let him down."

Robin nodded, his eyes firm. "I understand, Grand Knight. I will do my best."

Grand Knight Damia smiled, a hint of anticipation in his tone. "Very good. This is the secret medicine the Lord has bestowed upon you as a gift for the Breathing Technique apprenticeship. I heard from Malizzi that no, you take one first, and come back next week for the second."

Robin took the secret medicine for breathing techniques apprentices handed to him by Grand Knight Damia. It was a crystal clear bottle filled with light blue liquid that emitted a faint fragrance.

He carefully put it away, feeling both grateful and helpless.

Apparently, the incident last time when he was so eager to achieve success that he practiced to the point where his whole body became unable to move had been reported to Grand Knight Damia by Knight Malizzi.

"Thank you, Grand Knight Commander. I will pay attention to it." Robin said solemnly, with a hint of apology in his tone.

Grand Knight Damia smiled and patted Robin on the shoulder. "It's good for young people to be enthusiastic, but they should also know when to stop. The path of cultivation requires gradual progress. Rushing for quick success will only backfire."

Robin nodded and secretly warned himself to be more cautious in the future.

Grand Knight Commander Damia and Knight Malizzi were both doing this for his own good. After all, in the path of cultivation, the slightest carelessness could damage one's foundation and even ruin one's future.

"Also!" Grand Knight Commander Damia continued, "From today on, your salary will increase by one gold coin per month. Once you reach the rank of Full Knight, you'll receive ten gold coins per month and a fiefdom. This is a privilege many people only dream of. You must work hard and live up to the Lord's expectations."

When Robin heard this, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

A salary increase of one gold coin was already a considerable fortune for him, and the treatment of a formal knight made him even more excited.

A monthly salary of ten gold coins, plus a fiefdom, meant that he would completely get rid of his past poverty and become a real knight.

"I will definitely try my best!" Robin said solemnly, his eyes full of determination.

Grand Knight Commander Damia nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. I believe you won't let me down. Next, I will arrange for you to participate in more missions and training. I hope you can grow up quickly."

Robin took a deep breath, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

He knows that the road ahead is still long, but as long as he perseveres, he will be able to achieve his goal.

His goal since traveling through time was simple: to become a powerful knight, conquer a large fiefdom, and then marry a few beautiful noble ladies.

Yesterday's data remains unchanged, probably because the content was too bland.
