A contract signed quickly by the Great Knight Hobson was delivered to Raymond.

Although the terms are simple, they represent a responsibility.

A contract similar to an adoption means that the signer will assume the responsibilities as a parent to a six-year-old little girl named Stacie.

Give her safety, take care of her growth, provide conditions suitable for her needs, and let her get the care she deserves before she reaches adulthood.

Raymond, who was holding the book of contract in his hand, was a little moved when he saw the conditions Hobson was willing to pay in exchange for these things.

"Followers' Pledge"!

According to Grand Knight Hobson, as long as Raymond is willing to sign this contract with him and meet his conditions so that his only granddaughter Stacie can have safety protection before she reaches adulthood, then he will

Dedicate his "Follower's Oath" and become a follower of Raymond.

After carefully checking the book in his hand and making sure that there were no traps in it, Raymond couldn't help but ask. "Why?"

Hobson, who had always maintained a humble attitude and a wrinkled face, smiled bitterly. "I am getting older, and I estimate that I still have a few years to live at most, but my only granddaughter has to have a future, so..."

Without finishing his words, the great knight Hobson, with an anxious and expectant look in his eyes, showed his attitude with his actions. The power of choice now lies in Raymond's hands.

Without making a decision in a hurry, Raymond, with red dots flashing in his pupils, searched for information about the "Follower's Oath" in the chip's database.

Soon some relevant information appeared in Raymond's sight. Looking at descriptions such as 'absolute loyalty' and 'to follow you to death', Raymond understood that this was a unilateral allegiance contract, and besides death,

Otherwise, there is no right or opportunity to regret.

After pondering for a long time, he fell into silence on the mountain road, with only the sound of the wind whimpering. Raymond, who frowned, finally signed his name on the contract book.

With Raymond's signature, the Book of Contract turned into ashes in his hand, forming two obscure contract powers, which were shot into the bodies of Raymond and Hobson respectively. The effectiveness of the Book of Contract will be

After Hobson dedicated his "follower's oath", both parties were bound by the power of the contract.

Excitement appeared on the face full of wrinkles and vicissitudes of life, and then a shining point of light slowly emerged from under the skin in the middle of the eyebrows of the great knight Hobson.

Hobson, who had a somewhat painful expression and was trembling all over, gradually gathered a ball of light the size of a grain of rice from the center of his eyebrows. The knight held it in his hands and sent it to Raymond.

This is a substance that glows softly like a fluorescent substance. It is the "Follower's Oath" that only the Great Knight can dedicate!

This "Follower's Oath", which can only be dedicated with the complete voluntariness of the Grand Knight himself, is actually an unconditional oath of obedience, and the recipient will become the master of the dedicated person.

A unilateral oath represents a kind of trust and is a strong constraint that can make devotees smile until they die.

There was sadness in his eyes, but there was also a hint of relief. Looking at the great knight Hobson who seemed to be lost in memories, Raymond directly put Hobson's "Follower's Oath" on his forehead.

It was as if a drop of ice water had melted into his skin. Along with the faint feeling of coolness, Raymond seemed to have a feeling that he was the great knight Hobson kneeling in front of him, and everything about him could be controlled.

Raymond, who patted Hobson on the shoulder and helped him stand up, understood that this man would be his most loyal follower in the future, and Raymond's safety would become the only issue he needed to worry about, even if he needed to go

Even if he dies, he will face death with full enthusiasm.

Without rushing to ask about Hobson's past, Raymond first asked about his granddaughter. "How long will it take for you to pick her up? Do you need me to accompany you?"

Shaking his head, Hobson replied very respectfully. "Reporting to your lord, I can take her back in about five hours. I can go there alone."

After a little calculation, Raymond knew that Hobson should be able to arrive before sunset, so he simply asked the gray dwarves to find a place to camp nearby, preparing to welcome Hobson and his granddaughter.

Camping in advance is a dream for the gray dwarves who have just experienced a fright.

Although Gray Dwarf Ironhead could not hear clearly these conversations with Hobson, the book of contract that the great knight Hobson took out and the special sign of the "Follower's Oath" still made this astute and intelligent man

The duergar saw it.

Looking at Tietou's envious eyes, Raymond knew that the great knight Hobson must have something unspeakable, and that his body would not be able to wait until his granddaughter came of age.

Before communicating with Hobson, Raymond had no interest in meditating in these few hours. Instead, he arranged for the gray dwarves like Iron Head to prepare a bonfire, prepare a sumptuous dinner, and wait patiently.

Rigorousness and honesty must be observed by knights.

Sure enough, before the time reached five hourglass hours, a figure appeared on the mountain road from the distance.

Raymond, who frowned, stood up. Before the figure approached the camp, Raymond had already seen his situation clearly.

The armor on his body was gone, and the weapons on his waist were gone.

Hobson, who was only wearing an ordinary robe and holding a little girl in his arms, quickly arrived at the camp, but the look in his eyebrows was full of joy and excitement, as well as a hint of relief.

Waiting, sweat appeared on Hobson's forehead as he quickly entered the camp, but Raymond, who stopped him from saluting, first took the little girl in Hobson's arms.

The round little face still has a little baby fat, and the outline looks very similar to that of the Great Knight Hobson.

The thin, somewhat delicate little girl Staci still had a smile on her face. She seemed to be immersed in a sweet dream, and the index finger of her right hand was still stuffed in her mouth.

Let the gray dwarf Tie Zhu carry little Stacy into Raymond's carriage to rest. Raymond took the great knight Hobson to sit aside and waited quietly for his explanation.

"I have no choice." There was a heavy tone in his tone. Great Knight Hobson seemed to be trapped in painful memories, and panic appeared on his face. "My body can't support it for a few more years. If I can't survive before I die,
