Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 25: VIP 2
"Success is a dragon knight, failure is also a dragon knight."
As soon as the young man said these words, Lin Te's spirit was lifted, and he was no longer the lazy and playful look before.
Sander on the side also looked at him sideways. This man actually said similar words to the young master.
"How do you say it?" Lint continued to ask.
Actually, Richard said this in a somewhat subtle way, but if he wants to hug someone, he can't tolerate your shyness and hesitation. He has to take a gamble and arouse the other person's interest first. No matter how bad the result is, the other party won't be able to drag him out and kill him on his own territory.
"It's just that I was born in sorrow and died in happiness."
"Born in sorrow and dying in happiness?"
Although the sequence of this sentence is a bit strange, Lin Te's understanding ability is very strong, and he can quickly understand the meaning, and his interest is greatly increased.
Then Lin Te stared at the young man opposite, with an obvious intention to let him continue talking.
The person on the other side was not polite either. Since Lin Te was willing to listen, he started talking non-stop.
“The kingdom, or our human race’s own strength, is not qualified to occupy rich areas such as the central plains and river valleys.
Since Emperor Charlemagne forged a friendship with the Golden Dragon Clan, the kingdom has driven out orcs in the east and ogres in the north. The Golden Dragon Clan has helped in every battle. Our human race has jumped from a small third-rate tribe occupying a corner of the south to a continent. Second-rate ethnic group.
The human race has lived too comfortably under the protection of the golden dragon. Over the past three hundred years since the kingdom was established, our human race population has increased more than ten times, but the number of knights has probably increased less than three times.
Our clan now has a population of hundreds of millions, but the knight-level combat power among them is probably less than 10,000.
The aristocratic class treasures their own secrets, and even the most common breathing techniques will not be easily passed on to the common people. It has even become a common rule among the nobles not to teach the techniques easily.
If there are no external threats, we can better stabilize order and rule, but when have we ever been safe? If there is no golden dragon,
The orcs in the east, the naga in the south, and the dwarves further away, no matter who we can defeat, the country will be destroyed in a few years.
In the royal capital, everyone is immersed in the prosperous age under the protection of the golden dragon, and there is no crisis at all.
Even if there are a few people who understand, it is just a bit of luck. ”
"But what you said is what if, the dragon knights of Zhenguo will always be here."
Lint has remained silent. In fact, he is also a sensible person with a bit of a lucky mentality.
At this time, Sander couldn't help but speak.
"It has been two hundred years since the death of Emperor Charlemagne. Over the years, five golden dragons have died fighting for mankind. No matter how great the kindness is, it should be repaid, right?"
The more powerful an individual race is, the more difficult it is for it to have children. The number of the Golden Dragon clan has never exceeded a hundred, and the death of five for human beings is already a terrifying number.
"This is just your guess."
Although Sander was a little shaken by what he said, the dragon knights of Zhenguo have existed for so long, and it is still difficult for Sander to imagine losing the dragon knights one day,
If there is no golden dragon, can the Golden Dragon Kingdom still be called the Golden Dragon Kingdom?
The young man opposite seemed to have completely opened up his chatterbox, turned on the blaming mode, and continued:
"This is not a guess, but a reasonable speculation."
“Three hundred years ago, the Golden Dragon Clan directly dispatched more than a dozen ancient golden dragons to help Emperor Charman defeat the Orc Army.
Every fifty years in the future, adult golden dragons and ancient golden dragons will reach an equal contract with the Charman family,
But since the death of Emperor Charman, no ancient golden dragon has reached a contract with the Charman family.
Even the number of adult golden dragons has gradually decreased. There were as many as twelve Zhenguo Dragon Knights at most. Now there are only five Zhenguo Dragon Knights in the Charman family, and three of them are low-ranking green dragons. The dragon knight who makes up for the dragon clan.
Fifty years are coming soon. Will there be fewer people next time, or will there be no one at all? ”
The young man's words struck directly into Sander's heart. Sander opened his mouth, but could no longer say anything to refute.
Although Lin Te expressed his composure, he felt a sense of joy in meeting a close friend in his heart.
"So, the dragon knights of Zhenguo have guarded and paralyzed mankind. How can the future and destiny of a family and a country be entrusted to a piece of kindness or a contract."
"Okay, after listening to your explanation, I feel like I can see the clouds and see the fog. I'll drink this first."
Lin Te finally spoke, raising the wine glass in his hand to signal the young man to drink.
The young man opposite also drank the wine in his glass in order to save his face.
"Bang, if you want to hear what happened next time, please listen to the breakdown next time."
"Damn it, you just like to talk in a vain way."
"It's boring." As a gavel sounded, the storyteller packed up his things and prepared to leave.
The diners in the hall complained a few times and started talking among themselves.
The atmosphere of the two people chatting on the second floor seemed to be broken by the noise.
"There are still some things to do today. If there is a chance, we can chat more next time."
After saying that, the young man stood up and prepared to leave.
Lint waved his hand as a farewell. But seeing that the other party had already reached the stairs, Lin Te seemed to think of something again and said:
"Remember to buy the order."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then laughed
"This is natural."
……
The young man went downstairs to the lobby and called the boss over with a wave of his hand.
"Old Mark, please remember to waive the order for the guests at the table on the second floor."
"Yes, Master."
The man who had a good chat with Lin Te, the fourth young master of the Lanster family, was naturally Richard.
Richard was patrolling Ironwood City incognito, but he didn’t expect that a message popped up in his mind the moment he saw Lin Te:
Lint Lanster
Race: Human
Strength: 0.7
Physique: 0.8
Agility: 1.1
Spirit: 4.7
Skills: Financial Management (Master Level), Diplomacy (Master Level), Internal Affairs (Master Level)
Speciality: Premonition (his premonitions are quite accurate and he can always make decisions that better achieve his goals).
This was the first time that Richard discovered a person with a hero template among people other than those related to the system. With such good attributes, he almost drooled.
However, the appearance of Lanster in the name column extinguished the fire in Richard's heart. This person was not someone he was qualified to recruit, at least not yet.
After thinking quickly, Richard went up and started chatting. At least he had to leave an impression first, and maybe give him a hug for the time being. In the short term, the Marquis Mansion of Northland would definitely be someone worthy of Richard's admiration.
That’s why the following scene happened.
After Richard left, the entire table fell into silence again.
"What do you think of this person?"
"He has good skills and good conversation. He should not be a simple person."
"If nothing else, this person should be Richard, the actual controller of the Hunter family."
Sander was not surprised by Lint's words. With his eyes, he could naturally see that Richard should be a knight-level master. With such a young age and good conversational skills, he could also react to Lint's words. come over.
"This person is very ambitious and has the corresponding talents and means. If he is allowed to grow bigger, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for our Piaoxue City."
Sander is not a fool. Recent experiences have made him take Richard and Hunter seriously.
"It's good to be ambitious, but when we get the chance, we have to help him."
You must be the traitor in Piaoxue City, Sander couldn't help but cursed after hearing Lin Te's words.
"You don't understand."
As if he could see Xander's doubts, Linte began to talk to himself again.
"If it were a hundred years ago, I would have pushed the Jingbei Army to dispatch and wipe out the Hunter Territory with thunderous force.
Even fifty years ago I would have found ways to limit its development,
But there are fewer and fewer dragon knights in the kingdom. Recently, the orc kingdom outside Longxing Pass has been testing frequently. If another war breaks out, I don't dare to hold out hope for the assistance of the golden dragon clan. ”
"Master, do you think he can stop the orcs if the golden dragon disappears one day?"
Even if Sander had taken a high look at Richard, he still didn't think he had the ability.
Lint shook his head. Even though he had a high opinion of the current management of Richard and the Hunter Territory, this kind of national and species-level confrontation cannot be controlled by a small Hunter Territory.
"It's just a casual move, maybe there will be surprises."
"Let's go out for a walk and go back early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Lint stood up and walked towards the street, followed by Sander carrying some luggage.
I came here just for fun, and I had a lot of fun meeting the real owner. Lin Te seemed to have achieved his goal this time.
