"Is he an apprentice here? Or a hired worker?" Samuel asked the stingy boss very directly. To his surprise, the boss immediately changed his face and even started to tremble slightly.The giant man and the blacksmith who were forging iron also stopped their movements. The blacksmith's face was full of helplessness and worry, while the giant man's expression was numb. The rag has a batter of hand towels to wipe your face with.

"Master Knight! I, I will drive him away immediately!"

Samuel knew that the boss had absolutely misunderstood something. He could make up his mind and wait for the boss to drive away the giant man before hiring him.But the entourage was to fight side by side with the knight. Samuel didn't think he could entrust his back to him with the entourage obtained by this method.

"You misunderstood," Samuel grabbed the shopkeeper who was about to drive away the giant man, and explained directly, "Actually, I am a trainee paladin who is about to go on a trip. I hope that Mr. Can be my follower."

The shopkeeper was relieved immediately, and the first thought of this stingy guy was of course to hit Samuel hard.But since he was able to gain a foothold in the holy court, and he was stingy, he still understood the ways of the world.An apprentice paladin is already a big man to him, not to mention that this one in front of him is so young, he is hitting him hard now, who knows if he will take his people back and ask him to go back a hundred times?The shop owner himself has seen many businessmen who did not recognize their identities, and their families were ruined because they offended others.

However, just agreeing to this trainee paladin to take him away is even worse.After all, the identity of this giant man is extremely dangerous. If something happens to this handsome boy, his crime will be even greater.

"My lord knight, if Bane can become your follower, it will be our greatest honor. However, Bane has a quarter of barbarian blood. Such a dangerous person really cannot be placed on your lord By my side, are you..."

Barbarians are born with incomparable strength and are brave and warlike.It stands to reason that such a race should have a place in the world.But in fact, neither the light nor the dark camps are interested in them, and the barbarians can only live in the bitter cold areas on each continent.The reason is the male barbarian's racial ability - berserk!Once berserk, the strength and speed of the barbarians should be increased by at least three times, and they are not afraid of pain or death.But the problem is that the strengthened barbarians don't distinguish between friends and foes, and are irrational. They will kill anyone who sees activity, which is definitely a double-edged sword that is difficult to control.Such a race with serious flaws, not to mention having its own place on the battlefield for hegemony, even has difficulty in engaging in legitimate work.

The owner of the shop hired this giant mixed-race man because he was stingy and greedy for cheap things, so he had the courage to hire him.

"He doesn't have a barbarian tattoo on his body. How do you know he's half-breed?"

"Barne said it himself."

"If you don't reveal your real identity, with your height and muscles, you can get a good job."

"I know. But if I have to hide who I am, I won't be happy even if I can eat and live every day."

Samuel took out a call-up order; "Sign or press your thumbprint, and follow me."

Bahn hesitated for a moment: "Aren't you afraid that I will go crazy?"

Samuel looked left and right, and took a black iron rod as thick as a duck egg. With a toothache creaking sound, the iron rod was completed in a circle by him: "My strength is not inferior to yours. If you go berserk, even if I can't beat you, it's still possible to escape."

Bahn smiled immediately, showing his white teeth, took the call-up order, and pressed his black handprint.In fact, judging from the bending of the iron rod alone, Samuel's strength may not be equal to him, not to mention that if he really becomes crazy, it must be a critical moment in the battle. How could it be possible to run away at that time?But Bane didn't want to spend his whole life blacksmithing in a blacksmith's shop and couldn't get enough to eat after a tiring day. The appearance of this knight was an opportunity for him.Even if his current choice is somewhat selfish, he must grasp it...

Before leaving, the blacksmith who taught Bahn to blacksmith chased him out and gave Bahn's huge hammer to him.Seeing the livid face of the short boss who followed, Samuel even smiled apologetically. Obviously, he was very heartbroken about the sledgehammer.Samuel thought about it, and simply ordered a round shield suitable for Bahn and a set of light armor for Bahn in this blacksmith shop. Although it is a standard, the equipment is also customized according to the characteristics of each person.The entourage can only take low-level equipment, and with Bane's height, weight and strength, there must be nothing really suitable for him in the logistics.

And the blacksmith here has been with Bahn for a long time, and it seems that he cares about Bahn very much, and his craftsmanship is also above average, so the things he makes are probably very suitable for Bahn.

Since there was business, the stingy boss immediately smiled, bowed his head and sent Samuel and Barn all the way to the alley.

Samuel simply stopped riding the horse, but took the reins, walked with his new entourage, chatted, and bought some necessary supplies for going out.Although some things are rationed by the Holy Court, there are also many that are not rationed.

Hunters and grooms are impossible to find in the folk of the holy court. After all, this is the center of light power. There are merchants, nobles, priests and knights everywhere, but hunters and thieves are almost extinct, even if they occasionally appear in the mercenary guild. He also came here to do missions with the mercenary group.As for the grooms, except for the family's special drivers, most of them run local businesses in the Holy Court, and it is impossible for these people to leave with Samuel.That way, he'd have to go back to training camp to find someone.I just took this opportunity to buy everything I want to buy, so I don't have to make an extra trip later.

Just as Samuel was picking out a compass in an alchemy shop, a man dressed as a light gray leather ranger walked in with a bow and arrow on his back.

This ranger is very handsome, with calm and focused dark blue eyes. If it is a woman, his face will blush and his heart will beat. His slightly darker golden brown hair is tied with a leather rope, and the tail of the hair just falls on the left shoulder. Armor is not brand new with a few light bruises and repairs, but clean and well maintained.There are two sword pots on one side of his waist, and a dagger on the left side.The bow on his back is a hard bow, like everything else on his body, it is not gorgeous, simple and practical, and has been carefully maintained.

And these things are not fake. His fingers are slender, but they are not good-looking, with thick joints, and they have calluses and crusts where they are needed. These are the hands of an archer and a warrior.

"Samuel apprentice paladin," the ranger glanced at Samuel, with a faint smile on his face, and gracefully bowed to Samuel, "Julian, as you can see, he is a ranger, I hope Be your follower."

Samuel and the ranger knew each other. To be correct, the ranger was one of Samuel's former suitors.The ranger was one of their guides during the trial on the plain when Samuel was 14 years old, and he was also one of the comrades in arms when they resisted the invasion from the dark world.

"I will definitely." Samuel replied very simply, what he wanted was a follower, not a stallion in heat.

"This is a letter of introduction from Lord Krahn." Julian showed a smile of "I knew you would do this, so I was prepared," and took out a letter with the seal of a paladin from his pocket.

Samuel took it, and Crane made it very clear in the letter that either he would accept Samuel, or Krahn would force him to be included in the Third Holy Order of the Holy See, which was about to go to the front.Of course Samuel knew that the old knight had this ability, so for the first time in two lifetimes, Samuel knew what depression was.God knows, how did this guy know that Samuel was about to go on a trip, and how he was able to enter and exit the military center of the Holy Court, and got a letter of recommendation from the old paladin!

Handing Julian a call-up order, Julian became the second follower in the small team of knights.

There is still a groom...

Samuel took his two entourages straight to the horse farm on the outskirts of the Holy Court, where he could find his own groom and get the horses he needed to go out for training.Besides the one he was riding now, he needed another army horse and a strong workhorse to pull the baggage.However, the Holy See is only responsible for the equipment of the knights, and Samuel is responsible for the horse equipment of the entourage.Julian is easy to handle, he should have prepared his own things, the trouble is Barn, ordinary war horses can't carry a man of his size.

Following a small head of the horse farm to select war horses, Samuel saw a group of grooms and low-level soldiers gathering together with plates on the way.It is indeed time to eat now, but since there is a cafeteria, why do they squat in the open air to eat.As the distance gradually approached, Samuel noticed that the group of people was surrounding a groom in his 30s.

"Doro! You are bragging again! You people! Hurry up and go to work!" The little leader who brought Samuel shouted, he was kind, although Samuel had no affiliation with them, and It won't take long to leave, but he is the person above after all, if he said a few words, the people present would not be able to bear it and walk around.

But what the little boss didn't expect was that Samuel suddenly walked towards the groom Doro.

"Want to follow me?" Samuel took out the last call-up order to Doro, who was obviously taken aback.

Doro was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face was first happy, then worried—the annual annuity of being a groom was only five silver coins. Not dead, but still have a little savings.But this savings is really too little, so he is still a bachelor at this age, and even if he goes to a brothel, he can only find the lowest-level prostitutes.He also wants to marry a wife and have children, and have a whole family.And following Samuel, the income as a follower must be higher than that of a soldier, but also, the risk is greater...

Gritting his teeth and thinking for a moment, Doro took the call-up order.

Within half a day, all of Samuel's staff were fully staffed.
