Enforcer's Handbook

The night seemed extremely long.

Except for Song Lan, no one else in the castle seemed to have a good night's sleep.

He was woken up by Isabel's personal maid the next day. The little maid seemed surprised that he could still sleep that night. If another person was invited by the eldest lady to participate in the ceremony, she would be excited. Couldn't sleep all night.

The little maid gave him many instructions.

For example, he would have to stay among the servants of the Gilvis family. This was far from Song Lan's imagination. He originally thought that he would still get the opportunity to go to the VIP stands.

It took nearly ten minutes to drive from the inner city to the outer city. Song Lan had to sigh once again that he belonged to a wealthy family. It was almost the same distance for him to go to work every day. After arriving at the square, the maid arranged him behind the queue. Then he hurried back to Isabel.

Today, Isabel wore exquisite makeup. She was sitting in the chair of the stand, leaning her left hand on the side of her face, looking at the knights in the audience like a queen.

Beside him were the future heirs of the Monk family and the Capello family, who attended the event on behalf of their families.

This is their chance to appear to the consortium.

Colin Capello maintains the arrogance and elegance of a nobleman, but everyone's good friend Frantin Monk is a little less interesting.

Although the servants dressed him up carefully before going out, his pale face and weak appearance made him the most eye-catching among the three. The knights whispered to each other and asked each other who Master Frantin was. What's wrong.

Soon, those knights who originally didn't know what was happening in the inner city also learned about Master Frantine becoming the Jet Lord.

You're actually alive!

The servants were surprised by Song Lan's arrival, We all thought you had been secretly executed by Master Frantin!

He was treated like a hero.

The servants also form cliques. The eldest lady’s servants have long been indignant at Frantin’s behavior in the past period, but now, someone finally stepped forward to extinguish the arrogance of Young Master Frantin and the Monk family. .

Don't slander Master Frantin. He has a kind heart. How could he embarrass a handyman like me over such a trivial matter?

Song Lan stood up and said something for Frantin, If he attacks me, wouldn't it prove that he has little knowledge, a small belly, and is also a person whose butt is on fire?

Mr. Lu Qi, you are really good. We must learn more from you in the future!

…

Song Lan ignored the compliments of the servants. At this moment, his eyes had passed through the sea of ​​people and landed on Lu Xiang, who was among the recruits.

There was also a clear division into camps among the recruits.

The most powerful among them are those led by Kane, who are preparing to defect to the Scarlet Knights and swear allegiance to the Capello family. Others stand together in twos and threes, while Lu Xiang has drawn a clear line with everyone else.

According to what Song Lan learned, the enthronement ceremony is actually somewhat similar to the Hogwarts entrance ceremony. When the ceremony begins, they will take the stage one by one, and their mentors as recruits will recommend them based on their personalities and characteristics. Join the appropriate knighthood.

Of course, recruits also have the right to reject the instructor's proposal and make their own choices.

But there are risks.

Because the lord of each knighthood has the right to refuse, there have been cases where the replacement of knighthoods has been rejected, and in the end they could only be transferred to the suburbs to maintain public security.

Lu Xiang in the crowd noticed Song Lan's gaze. She turned her face and took a deep look at the queue of Gilvis family servants.

Look, that knight recruit is looking towards us!

Don't squeeze, she must be looking at me!

Look at your big face, you are obviously looking at me!

The servants got into an argument over some extremely boring reasons, and Song Lan couldn't help but applaud their courage. They were obviously evenly matched opponents, but they still insisted on deciding who was superior among their ugly looks. .

Make it look like the real thing.

But Song Lan can understand them. He heard that the lifelong dream of most servants is to marry or be married to a knight in the future. Those nobles who attach great importance to bloodline have no chance, but knights can still let them dream.

In the castle, female knights are always a hot topic.

According to their statistical data, the male-to-female ratio in each knighthood is 12:1, and often there is not even a single woman among the recruits who participate in the ordination ceremony.

Because of Lu Xiang, Song Lan now also likes the female knight.

As expected of a supervisor, she looks good in whatever clothes she wears.

You must join the Knights of Winter.

I am willing to use your ten years of life in exchange for her joining the Knights of Winter!

The servants were still chattering away. They looked extremely nervous. They looked much more nervous than the representatives of each family.

Song Lan asked with some confusion, Why are you all so nervous? What does this have to do with you?

Even if Lu Xiang really chose the Knights of Winter, it would be impossible for him to actually come and talk to them.

Of course it does. This concerns the face of the Gilvis family!

Several servants who were still arguing said in unison, but this issue made them unite for a moment, Listen carefully, the number of people joining the group represents the prosperity of the family.

For these servants, the Gilvis family has face, and they can be superior to the servants of other families, which is closely related to their daily lives.

They wouldn't have worried about these issues in previous years, but since the eldest daughter had an accident and was expelled from school, the reputation of the Gilvis family within the consortium has gone from bad to worse. They are worried that this year's conferment ceremony will embarrass them - if even one person If the new recruits are not willing to join the Winter Knights, the eldest lady may be very embarrassed.

Fortunately, under Song Lan's operation, the three major families returned to the same starting point.

Of all the knights, the Scarlet Knights have the worst reputation.

The biggest competitor in this ceremony was originally the Monk family, and they were also ready to further attack the Gilvis family. However, Master Frantin stretched his crotch at the critical moment and has not recovered until now. .

This gave the servants hope again.

As the ceremony began, they stopped talking and everyone held their breath. Some even closed their eyes and clasped their hands in prayer.

The first one to take the stage was naturally Kane, who ranked first in all assessments.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the young knight, and even the lords of the various knight orders looked at him carefully.

The chief among each recruit is naturally the one who gets the most attention.

Kane's mentor patted the young man's shoulder with his generous palm. After some careful consideration, he gave advice in a loud voice - The most suitable knight for you is... the Knights of Winter. Regiment, they are the most fearless warriors on the battlefield and the strongest defenders of the consortium. I believe your talents will shine among them.

Hearing this, Isabel had a faint smile on her face.

Kane, from today on, are you willing to become a member of the Knights of Winter?

The servants were ready to applaud enthusiastically. In their opinion, no one would refuse to serve the Knights of Winter. Countless outstanding knights were proud to be a member of the Knights of Winter.

But then, their excited expressions froze on their faces.

Please allow me to refuse.

Kane's voice spread to every corner of the square. There was silence at first, and then the crowd was in an uproar. His next words once again raised the discussion to the top, Mentor, I hope to become a member of the Scarlet Knights.

This request is unique.

Before this, no one had ever offered to transfer from the Knights of Winter to the Scarlet Knights.

The smile on Isabel's face disappeared, and she looked at Kane with indifferent eyes. At this moment, all the discussions caused by Kane turned into pressure on her shoulders.

It reminded people of the day they were put on trial, and once again raised questions about Gilvis' dominant position in the consortium.

Kane's behavior seemed to set an example for those who came after him. Those who followed him applied for transfers one after another. Except for a few people who were willing to defect to the Monk family, almost everyone was proud to join the Scarlet Knights. As for the Knights of Winter, they fell into a state of neglect for the first time.

Mo Lian.

The last person to take the stage was Lu Xiang. The mentor was already numb to what happened today. He faced the people and spoke out their suggestions, From today on, are you willing to become a member of the Scarlet Knights?

Originally, no one would be happy about being assigned to the Scarlet Knights, but this was a suggestion he gave after carefully considering the characteristics of the recruits.

Mo Lian's overall evaluation among this group of recruits was not ideal, and the most important reason was that he was lagging behind in the evaluation of chivalry.

She is a weirdo in the eyes of her contemporaries and mentors. Her silent and cold personality seems more suitable for being a killer rather than a glorious and noble knight.

After much thought, he found that the Scarlet Knights, known for their freedom and undisciplinedness, were the most suitable for her.

I reject.

Lu Xiang said, I hope to join the Knights of Winter.

Hearing this, the disappointed servants cheered up, but they didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment - the order of each knight's stage was based on the overall evaluation, and Mo Lian was the worst among the students in the same period, and , the advice given by the instructor is the Scarlet Knights.

What kind of recruits are assigned to the Scarlet Knights?

But this time they had no choice.

The Knights of Winter finally accepted Lu Xiang.

The knights of the Scarlet Knights and the followers of the Capello family burst into cheers, as if they were the protagonists of this event.

Colin Capello smiled slightly and stopped Isabel who was about to leave with a dark face.

As usual, the next step is the martial arts performance. Why don't you leave after watching it?

Thanks to DaShopee for the 1,100 starting coins!

Small theater one hundred and five:

It was Monday evening on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.

There are some big things happening in the Coalition, and the Ragus Foundation is really moving forward with their plans for Stars and Seas.

In the near future, the first starship will fly out of the atmosphere and go to space for exploration.

This exploration would last several months. Lu Xiang saw her name on the recruitment list drawn up by the council. She was entangled throughout the afternoon.

She was not opposed to participating in this space exploration project, but she had to endure not seeing Song Lan for several months.

Song Lan, what do you think?

In the end, she laid out the list of names decided by the council in front of Song Lan and pushed this difficult issue to the other party.

Looking at this list, Song Lan also became confused.

Normally, he might have taken this opportunity to take a long vacation to recuperate, but Lu Xiang's custom-made nano-tight combat suit had just been delivered recently, so this was obviously not a good time for her to go on a business trip.

What if I don't want you to go?

Then I'll refuse. I don't particularly want to go. It's just that the counter-intelligence department is more difficult to select.

It doesn't matter, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

Then...what if we really can't find the manpower?

Then we can only change our strategy.

Um?

For example, if the Ragus Foundation's starship is blown up, this plan will naturally not be able to proceed.
