“No need to wipe it, it’s just a minor injury.” Parker avoided the handkerchief Trisna offered.
On the battlefield, many knights awaited Bogp's arrival.
While the children were being assessed, the mercenaries and soldiers were also being assessed.
This is one of their opportunities to become knights, and with the academy's team of priests providing treatment, the danger is greatly reduced.
Since the Battle of Auvik, Duke Ekado has rewarded all the warriors who defended the city and encouraged them to stay and work together to rebuild the city.
That night, he gathered the remaining Free Army soldiers, including Parker, and gave them two paths.
One option is to join the city's defense force, which offers the chance to obtain a knighthood; the other is to travel to the distant city of Mirror Lake.
However, the travel expenses will be covered by Duke Ekado, who said that General Bogp there is gathering people for knighthood examinations.
Elsie, Ekado's granddaughter, is studying there. They can go and participate in the competition. As long as they pass the test, they can directly obtain a letter of introduction to become Elsie's knight.
Clearly, after a fierce battle, he and Trisna successfully advanced.
“You have internal injuries, and I can feel your pain,” Trisna said with slight concern.
She wore a cloak to avoid being noticed by others; the people here seemed quite surprised by dark elves.
Their family stories rarely mention dark elves, and besides, this is an inland region where there are very few traces of dark elves.
"Well, I'm lucky." Parker pointed to the team next to him. Even though they advanced, they were all missing limbs, and the priests couldn't heal them all.
Suddenly, a knight on the stage shouted, "Welcome, General Bogp!"
Following the knight's voice, Bogp led ten children into the battlefield. He seemed to be saying something to the children, and then the children began to come down from the stage to choose their knights.
"Trisna, please take these letters upstairs for me." Parker handed two letters of introduction to Trisna.
Trisna held the letter and looked at Parker, who was covered in sweat. She knew he was in pain and it would be too embarrassing for him to go up there like that.
"Hang in there, I'm coming right away!" Trisna hugged Parker.
The competition just now was too intense. As a dark elf with a high-level bloodline, she was naturally able to recover quickly.
But Parker is just an ordinary human being, and this competition is too much for him.
She glanced at the children who were choosing, hoping that the boy named Elsie wouldn't gather all the knights too quickly, or they would miss their chance.
Trisna went up on stage and handed over two letters of introduction to Bogp under his questioning gaze.
“Dark elf?” Bogp noticed Trisna’s skin tone, which she was deliberately concealing under the cloak.
"Dark creature!?" Bergp's personal knight roared in fury, pointing his sword at Trisna and shouting, "Stay away from the general, you evil spirit!"
"How dare you be so presumptuous!" The other knights also surrounded her, and they rudely used their swords to lift Trisna's cloak, exposing her skin.
After confirming the other party's identity, the knights shouted again:
"It really is a creature of darkness! This nauseating aura of darkness! Let me kill her!"
"Enough!" Bogp glanced at the letter of introduction and ordered the knights to be quiet.
“A letter of introduction from Duke Alcordo.” Bogp pulled out a commemorative gold coin from the Tiran family from the letter of introduction; this thing was quite valuable.
“Ha, I don’t really want you to become Elthy’s knights. You’re too weak. You’ll die in the future trials.” Bogp tossed two commemorative gold coins in his hand.
"certainly!"
"You can also give it a try. If you are lucky enough to survive, you will have a higher status than other knights, and your family will be even richer than some earls."
What are your plans?
Trisna nodded upon hearing this; this was precisely why they had come here—no one wanted to be a knight.
Even if they only live for one more day, their lives deserve to be recorded in the family history and remembered by the family!
This is a dream that those ordinary people who died in the wilderness could never achieve in their entire lives!
“Alright…” Bogp shook his head and said to the knight beside him, “Go and inform Elsie.”
"Yes, General!" The knight quickly stepped down from the platform to find and inform Elsie.
As for Bogp, he touched his breastplate and apologized for the knights' rudeness: "We have no description of dark elves here. I apologize on their behalf, beautiful lady."
He then straightened Trisna's cloak and added, "I don't recommend you go north, at least don't reveal your race."
“I feel that the Sanctuary is not the same as it used to be. The elves are carrying out a revival movement, and you will inevitably stand on the opposite side of them.”
Bogp patted Trisna on the shoulder and smiled back: "Elsie will grow up quickly. You must swear to be an asset to her, not a burden."
Trisna pays tribute to Bogp, for she hears his inner voice: Elsie is the key to stopping a war!
She felt a pang of regret, because Elsie might very well drag her and Puck into the war.
It was an indescribable war of destruction.
...
After an afternoon of work, the selection of knights was finally completed as night fell.
Actually, the quality of this second batch of knights is clearly inferior to the first batch; most of them have B-level potential, and some even have D-level potential! How did this guy even manage to climb up this ranks?!
[Hmm, I looked at the script, and his opponents were too weak; it was pure luck. So... why did you even choose this D-rank character?!]
"Hey, I think I need a lucky charm." Elsie circled around the knights she had chosen.
[I think you're just having fun! Think the main plot is too simple? Look at the people you've hired!]
Yin Lang, an archer with C-level potential, is a mercenary escort for the Eastern Merchant Alliance.
David, a D-rank potential heavy armored spearman, is from the northern part of the mainland. He is good-looking, cheerful, and has a perfect winning streak with no damage taken.
Dongshan Hong, a swordsman with B-level potential, is a mercenary escort for the Eastern Merchant Alliance and has a calm and composed personality.
Trisna, an assassin with A-level potential, is absolutely amazing! The newbie gift pack from Icardo is fantastic!
Parker, a scout with B-level potential, and a pure human? How did he get so badly injured?! Don't die in the team! What kind of trash did Grandpa shove in here?!
There was also a Western swordsman named Lynn, with E-rank potential, who coughed the whole time, um...
AbcdE
"..."
[And then there's your SSS-level potential.]
[Damn, this is some serious antics! They've got everyone on the potential list!!!]
【Are you doing this on purpose?! Look at their specs, and you're even using different professions twice!】
"Hehe~" Elsie tried to get away with being cute.
【No cuteness allowed to get you through!!!】
...
At this time, Connor also received a set of excellent equipment and a fine warhorse. He successfully changed his class to a cavalryman and looked dashing.
As for his weapon, he chose an iron longsword.
