Since when did even a child become so powerful?!
Is it that the quality of education in Rumtitu is not up to par or that the children in the Empire eat too well???
Domi did not get angry and kill him, but instead extended his hand to him:
"It is not the gentleman's fault that he was born in a small country. I can understand that. We have different positions, so we must be enemies. But what if I stand on the position of neither the empire nor any force that invades your homeland?"
"Are you willing to join my army?"
Lancelot was silent. The words "It is not the fault of a gentleman to be born in a small country" really touched his inner pain point and he could empathize with the words.
As the commander of a noble's private army, he often acted together with the nobles he served and met many important figures, including the ruling class of the Kingdom of Rumtitu. He also heard too many scandals with his natural good hearing.
He realized very early on that the entire kingdom had long been corrupt, but he had no ability to change even a little bit, after all, he was just a knight.
Including his master, the Baro nobles were not easy to deal with. If he had not received favors from them since childhood, what these people did would be enough for him to kill them a thousand times according to the chivalrous creed.
But in the end, even though he disliked these guys, he still adhered to the spirit of chivalry and protected them until the last moment...
He also wants a better destination that is more worthy of his efforts.
But this destination must not be those who destroyed his homeland. No matter how corrupt his homeland is, it is still the hometown where he was born and raised.
But Duomi avoided this point precisely and cleverly.
Lancelot did not immediately extend his hand, but asked: "What is your position..."
"I founded a mercenary organization, 'Sword of the Kingdom', and this is my position. I want you to be the leader there, working with a lovely lady who you might get along well with, training soldiers, organizing logistics, and commanding operations, just as you did before."
"The Sword of the Kingdom belongs only to me, and as such I do not need to obey the Empire's orders. I have never participated in the war that invaded your homeland, so the Sword of the Kingdom's position is completely in line with yours."
"How about, think about it?"
Lancelot had a complicated expression, but he still asked the last question with a firm gaze. The answer to this question would determine whether he would follow this extraordinary young man:
"There are countless people who are more powerful than me and can lead troops in battles better than me, why did you choose me?"
"You are too modest, Lancelot. You may not be the most powerful, but you are the first one to catch both. What made me make the decision is not only your ability, but more importantly, your character, your chivalry and your faith. Even in this turbid world, they still shine brightly."
At that moment, Lancelot had the urge to die for his friend. Isn't this the destination he has been looking for?
For the first time, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his serious face: "As long as you don't make me do anything I'm unwilling to do, I'm willing to give it a try..."
Chapter 220: Crystal of the Warcraft Leviathan
Chapter 220-219- Crystal of the Warcraft Leviathan
The Empire was originally planning to recruit Lancelot, so even if Domi got there first, it was still considered a surrender, and his release procedures were quickly approved.
Since he is already his subordinate, Domi will treat him with the utmost sincerity.
He first took Lancelot to the most luxurious "bath center" in the royal city, spent a huge sum of money to book the entire place, and let Lancelot clean himself at will in the largest pool.
After cleaning up the blood and stains, he changed into new clothes and then seamlessly went to the restaurant he thought was the best.
Domi was considerate enough to consider that Lancelot was also a man, and a man would have desires. After fighting for many days and being locked up in jail for several months, it must have been difficult for him... So he offered to take him to the so-called red-light district, but as expected, Lancelot flatly refused.
"Sir, I have my own modesty and bottom line. If it's not a woman I like and she doesn't like me, I will never do it."
Duomi was sweating like a soybean: "So you only vent to your girlfriend?"
"That would be reasonable. Seeking a prostitute is too lewd."
Domi was silenced by Lancelot's twisted logic, and according to him, this was one of the knight's creed. Now Domi began to doubt whether Lancelot's knight's creed was a pirated copy...
After taking care of all his physiological needs, Domi brought Lancelot to the auction house in the royal city, where he paid a large sum of money to buy him a whole set of brand new enchanted armor.
His entire body was pitch black, with a long, blood-red tassel tied on his head. A strong murderous aura could be sensed from a long distance away.
Lancelot liked it very much.
If you have protective gear, you naturally need weapons.
The two-handed sword that had been with him in Rumtitu was actually not valuable. It was simply durable and sharp. Noble Baro did not spend too much time on it. After all, it was just a weapon for a private army commander.
But it’s different for Domi. Lancelot will help him conquer the world in the future, so how can he not have a suitable weapon?
"Okay, don't feel sorry for your previous sword. I will forge a better one for you!"
Lancelot's eyes widened: "Sir, you also know how to forge?"
Duomi shook his head: "No, but the materials for forging are all selected by me, which is equivalent to forging it by myself."
"..."
If you want to create a qualified and powerful weapon, high-grade materials and compatibility with Lancelot are crucial.
It was learned that Lancelot was a melee mage who also practiced water magic. In his hands, the soft water had the same offensive power as a high-pressure water vapor cutter.
"In that case, we have to find forging materials with water attributes." Domi and Lancelot returned to the palace and asked people to find out where such materials could be found.
With the full cooperation of the intelligence department, Domi quickly received a report. It has to be said that this position is really convenient in obtaining intelligence.
With a target in mind, the two men set off immediately and headed for the villa of their old acquaintance, Prime Minister Simon Bolivar.
At this time, his two children, a boy and a girl, were playing in the garden in front of the door, while Simon was sitting on a wooden bench on the side, reading a newspaper leisurely, which was rare.
Seeing Domi coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him. Now no one dared to underestimate this dwarf. As an old acquaintance, Simon understood the hidden story even better.
"What brings our famous man here?"
Duomi presented the gift for the visit, and then went straight to the point: "Master Prime Minister, I want to ask for your help~"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two returned to the topic again. Domi's skillful words made Lancelot doubt whether this was really the behavior of a 12-year-old child.
Domi handed the description picture to Simon: "Actually, the main reason I came here this time is to get a piece of monster crystal in your collection, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. Do you still remember this, Your Excellency?"
Simon took the hand-drawn description and recalled it carefully, then suddenly realized:
"Oh~ Are you talking about the crystal of Leviathan, the water monster that wreaked havoc in the empire's waters ten years ago?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I heard that the water monster looks like an ancient dragon and can move freely in the water. It was extremely powerful. It took a lot of manpower and resources to kill it. Then, you bought it at an auction house for a large sum of money, but you haven't used it yet...
The thing is, my captain of the guards is currently in need of a decent weapon, and he also practices water magic, so I think there is no material that is more suitable for him. If you are willing to part with it, I am willing to buy it at a 50% premium."
Simon now understood Domi's intention, and after thinking for a while, he replied:
"That's not impossible..."
Just as Domi was overjoyed, Simon changed the subject: "But I have a condition."
"Sir, please speak."
"Since ancient times, a good sword goes with a hero. If he wants the crystal of Leviathan, it depends on whether he is qualified.
So my proposal is to let your captain of the guards compete with mine. If my people recognize his strength, you can take the crystal without paying a penny. If he is not recognized, you can pay the money, but not the crystal. How about that? "
Duomi smiled slightly when he heard this: "It's quite an interesting bet."
"Lord Dominic, you have to think carefully. Two billion gold royals is not a small amount. It might make Lord Carlos angry~"
In response, Duomi just waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Prime Minister. I have the money myself and I guarantee I can pay off my gambling debts."
Simon couldn't help but choke on his words. He actually forgot that the Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce, which was now flourishing and making a fortune, was actually owned by Domi. It was only 2 billion...
"Then prepare for a duel. No armor, weapons are uniform wooden swords."
In the indoor duel arena in Simon's mansion, both sides are ready.
"Don't feel too stressed, just try your best." Domi comforted him in advance. He knew that Lancelot's injuries had not yet healed, so it was normal for him to lose.
Lancelot nodded, then raised his sword with both hands, ready for battle.
The other side, the captain of the guard sent by Simon, was not someone to be trifled with. Holding a one-handed long sword, it was difficult to find any flaws in him just in his waiting posture.
The two men faced each other from a distance. After fifteen seconds of silence, both sides pushed off the ground and rushed towards each other at the same time, one stabbing straight and the other stabbing upward.
Lancelot's sword was directly lifted up. Although it did not fall out of his hand, it left him without any defense in front of him.
Simon's chief guard showed a smug smile: "That's the end!"
But what he didn't expect was that at this critical moment, a powerful water magic suddenly emerged from the opponent's body, and layers of waves seemed to emerge on the ordinary wooden sword blade!
The water flow forced Lancelot's body to make a death spin, turning the deadly sword to chop at the opponent, leaving a blue shadow like the sea wherever the sword passed.
He was forced to give up the attack and cast light magic to attach to the sword blade for defense.
Clang! !
The collision of the two wooden swords actually produced a sound like the clashing of metal and stone.
Both sides were knocked back a few steps by the force, but Lancelot retreated further.
Simon was amazed:
"The outcome of a duel between swordsmen is always decided in an instant. Either the result is decided immediately or the result is a tie. Your master is quite capable to be able to tie with my chief guard."
"That's enough. According to the agreement, Lord Dominic, the crystal of Leviathan will be given to you. I believe it will play a greater role in your hands and that of Mr. Lancelot..."
Chapter 221 Don’t underestimate the bond between us!
Chapter 221-220- Don’t underestimate the bond between us!
After expressing his sincere gratitude, Domi took the crystal and left Simon's mansion with Lancelot.
After the two left, Simon's captain of the guards walked back to the garden in front of the door with Simon. The captain of the guards asked in confusion:
"Sir, why should we let them get away with it? He is injured, and I can definitely beat him."
Simon narrowed his eyes:
"Winning or losing is no longer the key in this duel. Assessing the opponent's strength is just an excuse. You know, Dominic has a bright future now. Why not use a monster crystal worth only one billion to exchange for a future favor?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his two children who were playing carefree in the garden, and the captain of the guards immediately understood Simon's intention.
"Your Majesty, it's clear."
After getting the main materials for forging the sword, Domi finished the last thing he had to do in the royal city. He then returned to the academy with his two brothers. Lancelot followed Domi's instructions and followed Carlos and his wife home to the Kingdom Sword headquarters in Blofield Territory.
After returning to the academy and saying goodbye to Edward Argyle, Domi immediately went to the workshop area in the north and walked into Leonardo da Vinci's small workshop with ease.
"Ding-ling~~" The small bell at the door rang, mixing with the sound of blacksmithing inside, forming a very novel symphony.
"This guy can actually receive orders other than mine?"
Domi does not deny Leonardo da Vinci's forging skills, but does not approve of his marketing methods at all.
When he arrived at the forging room, Da Vinci did not even raise his head, and said while forging iron:
"The famous person is back? Just find a place to sit, and the work at hand will be done soon."
Domi didn't hesitate and sat in the seat closest to him so that he could clearly see his techniques.
Blacksmithing may seem rough, but in Leonardo da Vinci's hands it is as delicate and rhythmic as playing the piano. Just as intoxicating as a piano piece, even the bran can be savored.
Ding--
Ding--
Ding----
Duomi looked over and found that he seemed to be making a small and beautiful female dagger? From the shape of the knife blank, it can be seen that it is so small that it is probably only suitable for girls' small hands to hold it.
So he couldn't help but complain: "This kind of dagger is probably only good-looking but not useful."
Da Vinci remained unmoved and continued to forge iron: "I know this, but this is what the client asked for. What can I do? All I can do is forge it to meet her aesthetic taste as much as possible, that's all."
"It's 'her' indeed. It seems that your reputation has spread. Before, there weren't even any customers here, but now even female customers come."
At this point, a smile appeared on Da Vinci's lips: "It's the necklace carved with azure eye stone. I guess it was introduced by your female friend with blue hair."
"That's great, but I still suggest that you change the blacksmith shop sign in front of the door to a jewelry store and decorate the store in a cute and luxurious way. That way you can make more money."
"Uncle, I'm not a blacksmith just for the sake of making money."
Duomi didn't say anything more. He just watched and waited quietly. Perhaps this is what the so-called friendship between people of different ages is like.
Not long after, Da Vinci finally finished the work at hand and came back sweating:
"So, what do you want to build? I can give you a friendly price."
Domi did not despise it, but took out the blue-black Leviathan crystal, which was half the size of the Savior's notebook, from his backpack and handed it to Da Vinci. When he saw such a large piece of material, he quickly lifted it up with both hands and weighed it. He did not expect it to be so heavy.
"I feel the surging magic of water from it. You always manage to get all kinds of strange and precious materials. Tell me, what do you want to make it into this time?"
