Chapter 181 Followers’ Oath (2/4)

In this world, oaths cannot be made casually, especially those made to dragons, which will be watched by dragons.

When the nobles of the Golden Duchy swore allegiance, they generally joined their oaths with the golden dragon Vivian as a witness and judge.

And this oath itself exists, and it will be carried in the dragon's body in the form of contracts.

However, the dragon cannot see the inner thoughts of both parties through the contract, but can only determine whether someone has violated the contract through the state of the contract itself.

The reason why the dragon knight can easily rule a country is that in addition to relying on its own strong strength, it relies on this to ensure the stability of the country's ruling class.

Although Krober is not a dragon knight yet, he has fought a battle of mind with Deep Purple and won, so he can use this ability in advance.

The reason why Krober did not use it before is that he did not want to reveal the existence of Deep Purple too early. At present, only a dozen soldiers who explored the island with him knew about Deep Purple.

The second is that Deep Purple is currently in a deep sleep, and it is quite irritable when it wakes up. Kroeber does not want to wake up Deep Purple's sweet dream because of a swearing of allegiance.

But since Shirley already knows their identities, Kroeber naturally cannot let her go.

If you want to blame someone, blame Victor.

But it seems that Shirley does not seem to be very resistant to this proposal, and she is even happy about Kroeber's proposal.

"Okay, but you have to tell me your real name, otherwise I won't even be able to say the name of the master when we swear later."

Kroeber made a slight "tsk" sound, and this unexpected feeling made him a little unhappy.

"My name is Krober, the first Prime Minister of the Golden Duchy and the patriarch of the Amethyst Rose Family.

You were originally one of the senior members of the Blue Flame Grass Family. Have you ever sworn allegiance to Edwin Bronze Wrath?"

Krober thought carefully. Since the incident had already happened, he should maximize the benefits and directly pull Shirley into the family, which would just meet the basic conditions for promotion to Earl.

However, before swearing the oath, Krober felt that it was necessary to first ask Shirley whether she had ever sworn allegiance to Edwin Bronze Wrath. If the contract fluctuated, it would likely attract Edwin's attention.

It would take at least ten days and a half months for Edwin to hear about the "accident" of the Blue Flame Grass Family. During this time, he could use it to recruit troops and allocate supplies, which was of great strategic significance to him and the Golden Duchy.

Shirley shook her head after listening to what Krober said. She did not swear to Edwin Bronze Wrath.

This is also within reason. After all, dragons also have their own pride. The nobles generally only accept the oath of a family leader. It is impossible for the dragon to act as a carrier of the contract for some people of low value.

"Swear."

Since it was confirmed that there was no problem, Krober signaled Shirley that she could perform the allegiance ceremony.

Shirley supported her tired body and knelt alone, saying in a solemn tone:

"I, Shirley, in the name of the knight, hereby make a firm oath!

I will be loyal to my lord until death.

I will use courage as a shield to protect the glory and dignity of the lord, and use the long sword in my hand to clear the thorns and obstacles in front of the lord.

My eyes will always follow the figure of the lord, and my heart will communicate with the will of the lord.

On the battlefield, I will charge forward, fight bloody battles for the lord, and sacrifice my life.

In peacetime, I will be loyal to the lord and protect the land and people.

I will uphold justice and justice, and practice the spirit of chivalry with my actions.

I will respect others, protect the weak, and maintain peace and order.

The lord's orders will be the guide for my actions; the lord's ideals will be the goal of my struggle.

I will always remain loyal to the lord, never leave him, until the last moment of my life.

This oath, with the deep purple magic gem dragon as the witness, supervisor, and judge.

If violated, you shall be punished by the dragon's breath, the burning body, and the pain of breaking your soul! "

Shirley. Blue Flame Grass is dead, so she did not carry her surname when she swore, because she no longer had a surname at this time.

And what Shirley recited was the strictest and most cumbersome follower's oath. If violated, she would be severely punished by the dragon.

Krober, who knew that the contract had been formed through the spiritual contract, also slowly helped Shirley up. With the constraints of the contract, Krober also had basic trust in Shirley.

Before, he was more soft-hearted than trusting.

"Since you have sworn to be my follower, I will naturally grant you the corresponding status and honor in view of your strength.

Shirley, are you willing to become a member of the Amethyst Rose Family, as... my sister?"

Generally in this world, new nobles will use this method to enhance the strength and population of the family.

And Krober naturally followed the local customs and used the same method to absorb Shirley, the Earth Knight, into the family.

But he had already estimated that Shirley would not agree to this request so easily.

And the fact was just as Krober expected. After hearing that he joined the family as Krober's sister, his whole expression collapsed.

The resentment almost leaked out of the carriage and caused a dramatic change in the world!

Kroeber had no choice but to tell Shirley that he already had a crush on someone and asked her to give up the idea as soon as possible.

"Who do you like? Is she as pretty as me? Is she as strong as me? Why did you choose her instead of me?"

Kroeber really hated the love-brained person, but if this love-brained person liked him, he wouldn't hate it so much.

"I like Grand Duke Veronica, what do you think?"

This was the first time that Kroeber said that he liked Veronica. When he said this, Shirley was shocked and couldn't even speak.

"Okay..."

Shirley's words were full of bitterness. She naturally knew the gap between her and Grand Duke Veronica, and she also knew that she would definitely not be able to compete with Grand Duke Veronica in her current situation.

So she accepted Kroeber's proposal and joined the Amethyst Rose Family as Kroeber's sister, officially becoming the second Earth Knight of the Amethyst Rose Family.

However, Shirley just hid her inner feelings at this time, and did not give up the plan to pursue Krober.

She was just waiting, waiting for her to become a dragon knight one day, compete with Veronica on the same stage, and win Krober's "heart".

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully a poor girl!"
