If they were really allowed to join the Knights Templar, the impact on the local people of Mond and Lawrence's people would probably be more than just this.
What exactly is this captain up to?
Chapter 73 Accepting the invitation to join the group
"The Grand Master should be aware of the impact that our joining the Knights will cause, right?"
Youla asked back with a slight frown.
"Of course. But for the Knights of Favonius, we value a person's "talent" more than his "identity"."
Grand Commander Falga folded his arms and spoke in a calm tone.
Judging from his straightforward attitude, it really didn't seem like he was lying. But it was meaningless to think so alone. The biggest obstacle for them to join the Knights was never the attitude of the Grand Master.
But even if they can enter, how should they face their fellow knights? What should they do if disagreements arise during the mission?
These are all problems that will definitely be faced, so Eula will never be like an ordinary child who aspires to become a knight just by being praised and encouraged.
Although if she could really become a knight, at least she wouldn't have to worry about one of the biggest problems in life, housing.
While hesitating, Eula looked at her sister again, wanting to ask for her opinion.
Feeling her sister's gaze, Youya understood what she was worried about, so she raised her hand and spoke as well.
"Um, Grand Commander Falga, can I ask you a question as well?"
"Don't be shy. You can ask as many questions as you want, but the prerequisite is that I can tell you."
Grand Commander Falga nodded.
"We should also follow the formal procedures to join the Knights, right?"
"This can vary depending on the situation—"
Grand Commander Falga looked towards Eula and spoke.
"For example, Eula can participate in regular reserve training like my disciple Jean, and join the Knights of Favonius after completing the promotion exam.
However, you can also choose another more challenging method. For example, you can directly compete with the elite of the Knights, let them test your martial arts, and finally let me judge whether you are qualified. If you complete it successfully, we will also invite you to join the group. "
Then he looked at Youya and said seriously, "If you are like Youya, who is not suitable for physical training, we also have special assessments for spellcasters.
I believe that with Yuya's potential, if you fully tap it, you will be able to take on the duties of a sergeant or even a captain in the Eighth Squadron. Of course... you are still too young, so we can talk about this when you grow up."
This is actually a portable channel specially opened for "special people".
Because not everyone is suitable to participate in the assessment of the Knights Templar reserve. That kind of training method can indeed hone one's spirit and skills, but it emphasizes teamwork and suppresses individuality.
For people like Jean and Diluk who have been exposed to chivalrous culture since childhood, it is not difficult to accept and they can quickly stand out from it.
But for some already famous adventurers, asking them to start basic knight training again and learn rules and etiquette was obviously not in line with the expectations of both parties.
Not to mention the Lawrence sisters. Given their identities, it would be difficult for them to integrate into the team, and they would also have to face higher passing standards from examiners during the exams.
In the end, it was a waste of time and effort, and neither side benefited from it. It was even a question whether there was a knight team willing to take over.
Then, it is necessary to prepare such a back door specifically for recruiting these talents.
After thinking for a while, Eula answered again.
"I choose the latter. But let me make it clear in advance that I hope you can keep your promise and not let Youya get involved in battles. Leave that to me."
Captain Falga just responded with "as you wish" and then he looked at Youya again.
"Although I really want to tell my sister that you don't have to worry about me, I'm not very good at fighting and other things. If possible, I hope to stay in the back and do supporting work."
Youya certainly didn't intend to offend Youla. After all, she was very aware of her own physical condition, and... the most likely possibility was that there was no need to worry at all. It was more in line with her wish to leave behind something that could help them in the remaining days.
"Oh, yes. I hope the Grand Master can open the library of the Knights Templar to us. After all, the Lawrence family doesn't teach us how to pass the written exams of the Knights Templar. We need to go there and study hard."
In addition to learning professional knowledge, they also have to seriously study the compulsory part of the written test. The head of the team can not say it, but they can not really put themselves in a superior position and think that they can be free from the rules.
Besides, rather than being called a "suspicious person who somehow sneaked in", both Eula and Youya prefer to convince others with their hard power.
"You don't need to ask for my opinion on this. After all, it is the library with the largest collection of books in the northern continent. Except for the books in the "forbidden book area", all the collections are open to the public for free reading. There is no reason to turn away those who are thirsty for knowledge."
Grand Commander Falga nodded again, and then seemed to emphasize it on purpose.
"But if you borrow it, you can only take it back to your dormitory and cannot lend it to others. I hope you can abide by the library's rules--"
Currently, the book borrowing procedures in the library are relatively complicated and troublesome. Due to the rich collection of books, there are also many rare books handed down from the Demon God era. These naturally cannot be allowed to be borrowed, but are historical relics that need to be carefully protected.
Therefore, the fact that such permission was given was sufficient to prove how much the Grand Commander valued them.
However, things that should have been agreed upon in advance naturally cannot be left out.
Youya doesn't want to be tricked into joining and just stare at the pie every day.
"Thank you, Grand Commander. We only have one last question then."
"As long as I don't tell you how to open the door to the restricted section."
Grand Commander Falga made a joke to ease her tension.
Youya also raised her lips slightly, and then said, "We want to know if joining the Knights means that we have to be humble and careful in our words and deeds in order to gain everyone's forgiveness? Or do we need to use the meaning of my useless legs to gain others' mercy on the descendants of sinners?"
These words were full of political implications, and even Farga could not respond in a casual manner.
Even everyone changed color and became worried when they heard it.
Grand Commander Falga said sternly: "...I know it is not appropriate for me to say this with my status, and I dare not say that I can really understand your concerns. But, the promise I can make is -
As long as you are still proud of protecting Mondstadt, you can live every day with your head held high. Not to mention regaining Lawrence's original glory, at least it is a head-on blow to one-sided views.
After that, it will all depend on your ability to decide what kind of impression you want to leave on others, and I will do my best to help you."
In the eyes of Youya and Youla, the statement of Captain Falga was also unanimously recognized.
"Then, prepare your elite troops to meet my challenge!"
Eula spoke rather arrogantly.
"As revenge for your slight to me just now, I will defeat them all without leaving a single one behind."
People who know her well know that this is just her way of saying thank you.
The Grand Commander also laughed heartily and said, "Then I will have to wait and see what happens then."
After that, everyone's eyes turned to Youya, who was quiet and expressionless.
The girl with wavy hair covering her eyes also followed the example of the man named V. She lifted up the hair in front of her forehead with her hands and used the wind element to shape it. Her overall temperament also changed from introverted to extroverted. Her pure eyes, which often showed a sense of weakness, now carried a hint of awe-inspiringness similar to her sister.
She even curled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a determined smile.
"——If you are as timid as a mouse, you can only get cheese; if you think you are a wolf and are full of confidence, then the prey is in your hands.
Are you satisfied with this answer, Grand Commander Falga?"
Chapter 74: Eula is anxious!
Everyone was shocked by Youya's performance of changing her hairstyle as if she had changed her personality. However, after she put her hair back on, she was the gentle and easy-to-bully girl again.
This made Kaeya amazed. However, he was punched by Diluk, and even Jean was a little surprised at how quickly the other party changed from serious to serious.
Although the head of the group was curious, he did not stay long. After talking about things related to joining the group, he decided to leave the time and venue to the children.
But before he left, Eula did not forget to tell him about the treasure-stealing group.
This matter attracted the attention of the Grand Captain, and Diluk and Kaeya also reacted in the same way.
After all, he knew that there might be a rampant treasure-stealing group lurking near his winery. Even if they didn't dare to show up to attack, as a saying in Liyue goes, you can only thieves for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Whatever their idea, they all hope to go back to the winery as soon as possible.
However, Captain Falga calmed them down.
"Don't worry. The Knights of Favonius have been following up on this matter. The reconnaissance knights who went out are also conducting secret investigations under the guise of long-distance reconnaissance missions.
According to the content of the reply, they have initially grasped the locations of several hideouts of this gang of treasure thieves.
Once we have accurately identified them, we will inform the cavalry squad to coordinate tactics, and then we will catch them red-handed and bring them to justice."
When mentioning this, Grand Commander Falga looked at the Lawrence sisters, who had different expressions on their faces, and his expression finally showed a hint of unnaturalness.
"…I'm sorry about Lawrence's misfortune. But it's not that the Knights of Favonius let it go. It's just that the timing of their action happened to be during the window period when the reconnaissance knights arrived at the designated destination and returned to investigate."
After all, it's impossible to say that you are going to the Thousand Winds Temple to investigate the ruins, and then turn right to the Dawn Winery when you go out. Even the Qiuqiu people can see that there is something wrong.
After he said this, the Leggenfind brothers, who were originally a little anxious, calmed down a little.
But there was a hint of complexity in his eyes when he looked at the Lawrence sisters.
However, neither Eula nor Youya reacted much to the burning of Lawrenceburg.
Therefore, the matter was forgotten and no one intended to discuss it in depth.
This will only ruin the rare good atmosphere.
After Grand Captain Falga left, although Diluk was told not to act on his own so as not to alert the enemy, he still couldn't help but fall into worry.
Although Kaiya was confident in the security of the winery, he couldn't pretend not to know and continue talking about the fruit drinks when his brother was so anxious at the moment.
Qin looked at Eula. Perhaps because they had the same older sister attributes, she always felt that she was inferior to her, both in terms of her older sister status and her strength.
As sisters, the two not only have a harmonious relationship and mutual understanding, but will never abandon each other. She was thinking about this just from what she heard from Amber about Eula in the past few days.
If I were in her shoes, would I be able to make the same decision as Eula?
And, the strong belief to protect a person was born.
Perhaps Yuya also thought of her sister in the same way, which was why they both received the attention of the gods...
In contrast, her younger sister Barbara already has the water-attributed Eye of God, and is shining in the church, healing the pain of others.
However, I, who am regarded as a role model in the family, have not yet received the recognition of the gods. Is it because my efforts are not enough, or... I simply do not have as strong a will as theirs?
I always talk about the code of chivalry, but I am just a coward who is too afraid to take the first step to meet my sister...
The thoughts of self-deprecation gradually filled the space in Qin's heart, making her even more miserable, and it was especially intense when she was facing Miss Eula.
Nervous, urgent, anxious...
Although Amber was still immersed in the joy of Eula's return, she also vaguely noticed the sudden change in the atmosphere.
After all, whether it was Jean, Diluk, or the annoying Kaeya, their expressions didn't seem to be very good.
Of course, Eula also noticed the change in atmosphere, but she didn't care about anything other than her sister. She just planned to push her back to the knight dormitory and have a good chat.
Because the treasure-stealing group's mission was not over yet, she was not in a hurry to take Youya back. Prioritizing safety was more important than comfort.
However, Youya gently grabbed her wrist and shook her head.
"Hmm? Is there anything else Yuya is going to do?"
Eula asked, slightly confused.
"I have something I want to say to them."
Youya looked at the Leggenfind brothers who were not in a good mood to talk and Qin who was obviously worried, and could only choose the former for the time being.
(Although Sister Qin also looks a little uncomfortable, I’m sorry! We need to prioritize now.)
"……All right."
Although Eula was reluctant, she was not so pathological as to control who Youya talked to. Moreover, in the farce just now, they did not directly stand up to be hostile to her, so at least it was certain that they were well-intentioned.
She wasn't so arrogant as to take other people's kindness for granted. In fact, if she really had that kind of character, Wes wouldn't have chosen to die in that way.
"Um, Diluk brother. Are you okay?"
Youya drove the wheelchair to his side. The handsome red-haired nobleman was frowning and pursing his lips. The sunny smile he had not long ago disappeared without a trace.
After hearing her voice, he came back to his senses and said self-deprecatingly: "Ah, I'm fine. I'm just a little worried. If my father were here, he would probably scold me. Instead of worrying about nothing, I should devote myself to actual training--"
"Master Cripps is indeed like this, so we don't need to be so nervous. Maybe in two days, we will get news that all the members of this group of treasure robbers have been arrested."
Kaia also took the opportunity to comfort him.
However, it can be seen from the uncertainty in his words that he is also worried about the situation of the winery, but he just doesn't show it obviously.
"It's normal to worry about the safety of your family." Youya said gently, "If I knew there were strange people hanging around near my home, I would also be anxious."
Qin also cast a probing look over here at this time. The girl could only respond with a soothing look and then continued to speak to the two people from Leggenfind.
