Chapter 20 Method of soliciting people into an occupation

It turns out that watching the commotion is sometimes accompanied by risks. Because the knee may be hit by accidentally, and then he fell.

"Robin Hood? If I remember correctly, this is like the name of a righteous thief. I heard that he specializes in robbing criminal merchants and nobles and then distributes the stolen things to civilians." Lucifer recalled that the maid had once Knowledge of popular science.

His words made Robin Hood a wry smile.

"Yeah! I didn't expect the rumors of a thief like me to be heard by the king, and I suddenly felt very honored."

As a thief, he doesn't think reputation is a good thing. Especially when a king had heard his name. That usually means that it may be taken care of, yes, it's like now.

"Thanks to a dedicated lady maid, I know a lot about anecdotes about this country. Let go of him, he should have been a noble knight of the kingdom."

Lucifer raised his hand to signal, and Gawain and Lancelot also put down their swords at the same time.

"Yes!"

After speaking, they temporarily stepped aside and turned on alert. Although Lucifer gave the order, if the righteous thief in front of him wanted to escape, they would also take action at any time.

"As a king, I don't know whether you should say that you are tolerant or too gullible if you believe a stranger so easily." Robin Hood breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lucifer calmly.

Prior to this, he was deprived of the title due to a conspiracy by a nobleman and became a vagrant. And the person who gave this order was the former king, and he didn't know the details, but he didn't have much favor with the king. Especially after seeing king's continuous battles, which made this originally powerful country gradually decline.

"Or you should say that you are honest and didn't lie to me."

"..." Robin Hood discovered that the new king was far more terrifying than the previous one.

Maybe it's not correct to use it terribly, but maybe it should be said to be excellent.

"We are now rushing to reinforce the South, and I believe your ability will be an aid in future wars. Sir Robin Hood, join my underlings and regain the glory of the past as a knight to fight for this country." Facing Robin Hood in front of him, Lucifer directly invited.

With just that hand, the person in front of him will show excellent talents as a spy or watchman. In the face of the coming war, Lucifer needs all available power.

However, Robin Hood gave an unexpected response.

"Sir Robin Hood is gone, now there is only one righteous thief named Robin Hood."

"Really. It seems that you have an unpleasant past. In that case, you can go!"

Lucifer's altogether made Robin Hood a little uncomfortable.

"Will the king pursue my offense?"

"Did I take the liberty? It should be said that I took the initiative to disturb your peace." Lucifer walked slowly to the side of a tree, and he put his hand on the trunk and said calmly.

He seemed to be talking to Robin Hood, or to this forest, even to the elves in the distant forest.

"My king is so sensible, it's great. I thought I was going to be forced into the army again."

"I see something called will in your eyes. Human actions are meaningless without the support of will. Since you choose to fight in your own way, I don't want to force you to do anything."

Lucifer's words seemed to have seen everything, and Robin Hood fell into a long silence.

"..."

Yes, he thought he was fighting in his own way. Although it was different from the knight fighting way he had learned before, he never forgot the heart of knight he had learned. It's just that now he is no longer recognized as a knight.

Lucifer saw this, yes, just for a moment, the look in his eyes was like the former Undead team. The group of knights who swore with wolf blood and waved their great swords to prevent the abyss from spreading, were eventually swallowed by the abyss because they were too close to the abyss.

By the time Lucifer lit three beacon fires to open the door, the members of the undead team had only a dozen captains left because of mutual executions, and the corpses filled the hall. They raised their swords to pay tribute to Lucifer, the new member of the undead team, and asked him to kill them as the final test.

[T/N: Maybe I need to change the title of this novel, because mc keep mentioning that his past memories from elden ring? World but he know Fate Grand Order]

According to the inheritance at the time, I seem to have become the last member of the undead team.

Thinking of this, Lucifer retracted his hand, and he turned and walked towards his camp. Before leaving, he left a message to Robin Hood.

"This land has been caught in too many wars. The knights behind me are fighting for their beloved motherland. They don't want to spare their lives. If I lose the battle, this place will be ignited by the war soon. At that time, please be your own Keep guarding this forest in the same way, knight."

The knights glanced at the former knight one last time, and they retracted their swords and followed the king's footsteps and left together.

It wasn't until long after they disappeared that Robin Hood came back to his senses. He leaned on the big tree and looked up at the leaves falling in the quiet air.

"Knight..., am I still qualified to be called a knight?"
