Studying Science in the Alternate World

"Royce, get out!"

Following the secretary's instructions, Instructor Sonny called out Royce's name, and a tall, dark and thin boy quickly stood up.

"Follow me." Instructor Sonny ordered, then turned his head and shouted to the team, "When I'm not around, anyone who dares to shake their legs, ten whips!"

Then he took Royce and followed the secretary to the dean's office.

"Dean."

"Sone, go down and rest first." The dean waved his hand and sent Instructor Sone to rest, then smiled and asked the tall and thin boy, "Is your name Royce?"

"Yes, Dean." Royce didn't understand why.

The dean said to Duke: "Your Excellency Duke, this child is Royce...Royce, hurry up and meet Lord Duke, Lord Duke is an arcanist!"

"Ah!" Royce was taken aback, and stammered, "Du, Mr. Duke, Royce sends, hello to you."

Duke took a look at Royce, and he was sure that this was the Royce he was looking for. His facial features vaguely had the shadow of Robney.

"I know your father, Robney." Duke said gently, "In his last time, he gave me a favor."

"My father?" Royce's eyes widened. "What's wrong with my father?"

"he died."

"Ah!" Royce yelled, his chest heaved and panted violently, and it took him a while to calm down, two lines of tears flowed down his eyes, "I knew it, he was dead."

Duke sighed, "Sorry."

"Master Duke, may I know how my father died?"

"Hunting hurt." Duke told a white lie.

Otherwise, telling the truth that Robney was killed by the fang gang of the Black Snake family would only put Royce in a predicament of revenge.

Revenge, if you don't have that strength, you may have to die.

If you don't take revenge, you have to bear the condemnation of your conscience.

certainly.

If Royce doesn't believe it and insists on asking, Duke will still tell him the truth. But Royce believed Duke's statement and didn't ask for details.

"Royce..."

Duke was about to say something.

Royce suddenly mourned and said: "I knew he would die on the way to hunting. As far as I can remember, he hasn't stayed at home for more than two days, always chasing spirit beasts... But I don't want him to send me a spirit beast." Beast, I can rely on myself to become a knight!"

"Oh, what a poor child." The principal lamented pretendingly.

Duke waited for Royce to vent his emotions, and then said: "The deceased is gone, there is nothing you can do. But I will return the favor your father bought for you."

Royce wiped away tears.

Duke continued: "You have two options. First, I will give you a cub of a 1st-ring spirit beast to help you become a 1st-ring great knight."

After saying this, everyone including the dean showed a sour taste of envy.

Knight training is indeed not difficult, but not everyone can be promoted to a ring 1 knight, and many knights spend their entire lives in ring 0.

After giving Royce time to digest, Duke spoke again: "Second, swear allegiance to me, become my follower, and serve me."

As soon as the second option came out, the eyes of everyone looking at Royce became more complicated.

Even Royce, who was still immersed in the grief of his father's death, couldn't help raising his head and glanced at Duke in disbelief.

Both options are, without a doubt, dream opportunities for any knight.

"I choose the second one." Royce replied without hesitation.

Being able to serve an official arcanist master has a brighter future than being a part-time great knight.

The dean immediately praised with a smile on his face: "It's really a smart choice. You are so lucky to be a follower of Your Excellency Duke, Royce."

Duke smiled: "Then, you are my follower."

"Yes, my lord!" Royce knelt down on one knee and followed the etiquette of a knight.

In the aristocratic system of the Seven Towers Federation, there are only uncles, sons, and men, so the etiquette of followers has been simplified to the point where it is now.

When the matter is over, Duke will leave.

"Your Excellency Duke, can I have a word with Royce?" Instructor Sonny said suddenly.

"Well." Duke nodded, "Royce, say goodbye to the friends in the monastery, pack up and salute, and then come to Beverly Manor on the 17th to find me."

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone sent Duke away.

Instructor Sonny took Royce to a corner, with envy and relief in his eyes: "I know this Lord Duke, the arcanist who rang the bell at the Faling Pagoda two days ago, so Royce , you have to seize this opportunity.”

"I will, instructor."

"Don't slack off, or think that you can stop working hard if you become a follower of the Arcane Master. You are mediocre in my group of trainee knights, so you have to work harder after you leave. Talent can't impress the Arcane Master, just use sweat move."

"yes."

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense, let's develop well. I hope that when we meet again in the future, you will have become a great knight."

"Thank you instructor, I will work hard!" Royce nodded solemnly.

...

"Sir, where do you plan to arrange your followers?" Mu Lali asked in the car.

"Where there are moderately priced residential areas nearby, I plan to rent a few units for the placement of followers." Duke said.

"There is no suitable location in the inner city. The place near the ring road in the inner city is opposite to our Beverly Manor, across a street, which is Huanshuiyuan Community." Mu Lali obviously did her homework, "Over there The house price is a bit high, but it is the most suitable for placing followers."

Then Mu Lali added: "I heard from my aunt that many arcane masters in the manor place their followers in the Huanshuiyuan community."

"That's good, but I don't have any money for the time being, Lili." Duke leaned on the back of the chair and sighed.

Mu Lali obviously liked the nickname "Little Lili" very much, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "After you join the company, you will have a lot of money, sir."

"Let's have a look before we talk."

When the car drove back to Beverly Manor, Levin held several invitations and handed them to Duke.

They were all owners near Beverly Manor, and they wanted to invite Duke to dinner, but there was only one, and it was from the Upper Star City community.

"Joanna Lynx..." Duke looked at the invitation.

There is no doubt that among the hosts of these invitations, Joanna Lynx has the most distinguished status, even though she is only a 1-ring arcanist.

But her father, Jovis Lynx, is one of the incumbent United Tower rulers and a member of the leadership team of the entire Heijiaohe Land.

And he is one of the only sixteen third-ring arcane mages in Shenjiao City.

"I have to save face." Duke had already made a decision in his mind, and handed the invitation to Mu Lali, "Reply to Joanna, I will go to the banquet tonight... By the way, do you think that as a friend, if I go to the banquet, I need What souvenir do you bring?"

Mu Lali, who came from an aristocratic family, is most suitable for Duke because she knows a lot about communication etiquette.

Mu Lali asked about Joanna's identity, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Ms. Joanna is distinguished, but you are equally distinguished. Since you are here as a friend, why don't you bring a bottle of old wine. "

"Well, I'll leave it to you to buy."

After the third shift, ask for a monthly ticket~
