How should I explain this to Gou Dan?
After Brother Dog finished his private message, he was in a daze. wasn’t Yunji Mu in the capital? Why did she appear in City C? It was one thing for her to appear in City C, but why did she coincidentally meet Gou Dan? Was City C really that small? This was a metropolis with a population of a million!
“Hey, what are you daydreaming about, Sim?”
A voice that sounded like a broken gong interrupted brother dog’s daydreaming, causing brother dog to subconsciously shiver. He looked over at the instructor who had been giving him a headache these past few days: David. Texas.
“Don’t think that just because Miss Sunny gave you a spot, you can slack off like this, you trash!”David said with a fierce expression, “You wasted so many years of the Orlando family’s resources, yet you still went to deceive such a kind-hearted Miss Sunny’s pity. You piece of trash, if you don’t succeed this time, I’ll Skin You Alive!”! “!”
Brother Dog was speechless… ? “… This character, rain girl, Wu Gua, that guy is deliberately messing with me, right?”?
After participating in the mission of going north to join the army, Brother Dog finally realized how F * cked up their identities were…
All of this had to start from the Knight Academy of the Steel Martial Empire.
The Knight Academy of the Empire was said to be open to all the legitimate residents of the empire. To the public, it was said that as long as an individual was outstanding and had the potential to become a warrior, they would be able to be accepted and nurtured by the academy, and they would have the opportunity to become a qualified knight!
It sounded very fair, right. Actually, that was not the case… …
The so-called individual excellence referred to one’s physique and foundation before entering the academy. In terms of physique, one had to have a strong physique and be able to withstand high-intensity training. The foundation referred to a certain foundation of combat and weapon application.
This basically isolated most of the children from ordinary families. After all, for one’s physique to be strong, other than a few fellows with divine power, the vast majority of people needed to be nurtured after birth, in addition to scientific training, they also needed sufficient nutritious food, especially meat.
Moreover, they also needed to hire teachers to teach their children basic fighting and weapon applications. How could an ordinary family afford this?
Generally, only some wealthy merchants and nobles could afford it. Not to mention wealthy merchants, most of the children of noble families were trained to manage their children since they were young, especially in the south. Then, the war in the northern part of the empire was so tight.., with such a huge demand for knights, how could they fill it?
The answer was: the Empire’s huge illegitimate children group!
As nobles, most of the nobles, especially the males, had romantic temperaments.
Like Brother Dog, the current Earl of the Odolan family had hundreds of illegitimate children…
Brother Dog Only Knew What a stud was when he knew this number. As expected of a feudal civilization. If it were in his era, an NBA player with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars.., even if there were six or seven illegitimate children, they would be forced to sell their underwear because of the alimony!
To get back to the main topic, due to the high quality requirements of the Knight Academy, most commoners could not enter this threshold. Under such circumstances, illegitimate children would be the main force of the Imperial Knight Academy.
The reason was very simple. Most of the direct descendants of the nobles were here to inherit the management of the nobles’territories and the nobles’businesses. Since young, they had learned about the etiquette of the nobles, management, business, and other knowledge, naturally, they would not let them go to the northern battlefield to fight to the death. However, what if they wanted to strengthen the family or supplement the family’s loyal armed forces?
The illegitimate children perfectly solved this problem.
As the bloodline of the nobles, in name, it was basically impossible for them to compete with the legitimate children for the title of nobility and territory. However, it would be a waste not to do so, so they might as well train them to go to the Knight Academy, if they were lucky enough to obtain a title of nobility and obtain more titles, the nobles would immediately resume their titles as the children of the legitimate families. From then on, they would become a branch of the nobles in the family. If they were not able to become nobles.., they would only be knights. They could return to the family later and become knights of the family to serve the legitimate children.
After all, they were blood relatives. As the saying goes, ‘don’t let the good water flow to outsiders’. Of course, hiring foreign knights would not be as good as training them in the family, right?
Therefore, in this empire, most of the illegitimate children had a good life since they were young. They would be unified and taken back to the nobility. They would be fed well and fed well. They would be called regular knights to train them. Everyone would have the opportunity to stand out.
Of course, when the opportunity was given, the obligation was also necessary!
After receiving the resources of the clan, they naturally had to serve the clan. Their only path was to enter the academy and fight on the battlefield. Moreover, before entering the academy, one had to choose a regular disciple as the object of loyalty.
Since it was to nurture knights, the contract had to be fixed from the start. Whoever became a knight and worked for would be responsible for one’s expenses and tuition fees in the Knight Academy!
This was also one of the rules for the management of illegitimate children of nobles. In this way, besides nurturing a private force for legitimate children, it also tested the foresight of both parties.
This was a double-selection system. It could only be established if both parties agreed to it. Most of the illegitimate children who had performed well since they were young would choose the eldest son who was likely to inherit the title of nobility as the object of loyalty, of course, there were also some people who chose the promising potential stocks or the children who would inherit the family business. Very few people would choose the women of the family to be guardian knights.
The SIM that Brother Dog played was such a role. Because this useless guy was too useless, basically no one wanted him. In the end, he licked his face and cried as he begged the second miss of the family, Miss Sunny. He shamelessly begged for a spot for a few days. After looking at Simm’s memories, Brother Dog actually wanted to blow his head off…
SIMM was actually a two-faced bastard among illegitimate children. Not only was he not talented, but he was also lazy. He used the name of the family to bully good people and even owed a lot of gambling debts. At the end of the day, when he saw that no one was going to be kicked out of the noble, the two-faced bastard instantly panicked. There were a lot of people waiting for him to be kicked out and want to beat him up… …
He had no choice but to break the rules in the end. Every day, he knelt outside miss sunny’s courtyard, who had the gentlest personality, begging for help. He was crying with Snot and tears. That ugly scene made Brother Dog, who had received his memories, want to die…
“Don’t Blame Simm. He has been working very hard these few days…”a sweet voice sounded and immediately interrupted Brother Dog’s memories. Brother Dog subconsciously raised his head to look at the second-skinned woman who had taken him in.
“You’ve changed a lot, Sim…”sunny looked at Brother Dog Gently. “If you had worked so hard earlier, you wouldn’t have had to follow a person like me who has no future…”
“What nonsense are you talking about, Miss?”David suddenly said in dissatisfaction, “It’s a great blessing that you can take him in. Don’t be too indulgent to this kind of person!”
The more David thought about it, the angrier he got. He had just gone out to do some things, but he didn’t expect that this dog had taken advantage of a loophole and used that method to get his miss to give him a spot. If he were here, F * ck, he wouldn’t be dead!
Although Miss Sunny was a direct descendant and had a noble status, she wasn’t valued by many of her brothers and sisters. As a woman, her appearance was far inferior to his sister’s. She had brown hair, gray pupils, and a few small freckles, compared to those fair-skinned women with sapphire blue eyes and beautiful blonde hair that were unique to the Orlando family, Miss Sunny wasn’t very popular when it came to external marriages.
Most of the noble women had to marry out of the family. As for marriage… Other than their status.., the most important thing was naturally their looks. Because of their good looks, her sisters had long been engaged to the heirs of many marquises and even dukes. Even the youngest fourth young lady, vinier, was already engaged, sunny was almost seventeen years old, but no one cared about her…
This also caused the count to allocate very little of her pocket money…
The more this happened, the more serious miss sunny had to be when choosing a guardian knight. She had to choose someone who could afford it!
After all, apart from the dowry, guardian knights were also one of the important appearances of noble women.
Miss Sunny’s pocket money was limited, and there were not many places that she could train. All these years, David had been worried about finding a suitable knight for her.
Most of the talented illegitimate children were not willing to become a female guardian knight. Even if they were willing, most of them were not willing to join Sunny, who had no future. It was not easy for David to find two in the past few years. In the end, he had only entered the northern battlefield for a few months before he was taken away…
All these years, the count had been increasingly harsh on sunny’s allowance. In the end, this silly child had even given her limited resources to such a shameless fellow.
The more he thought about it, the more David could not help but want to kick this guy to death! !
Looking at David’s unfriendly eyes, brother dog, perhaps due to his memory, actually moved to the side a little guiltily. When this mouse saw the cat-like expression, sunny beside him burst into laughter, he quickly came over and grabbed David’s arm, acting coquettishly. “Well, Uncle David, hasn’t Sim performed quite well these few days? It’s different from the rumors outside!”
“He’s drowning and pretending!”David glared at brother dog and said, “He’s just pretending. Don’t think that I’ll change my opinion of you. If I see you like before, I’ll beat you to death!”
Brother Dog:”…”
“Well… It’s so late. Let Sim Rest…”sunny shook David’s arm and Winked at Brother Dog. David said helplessly, “Hey, my lady…”
Brother Dog was stunned. Looking at Sunny who winked at him, his heart skipped a beat. What a sweet personality…
