Perhaps the bloody scene of executing deserters in the square draws more attention, or maybe because it's noon and the weather is hot, the market camp that had been bustling for several days suddenly became sparsely populated.
A group of ten from the Shayue Tribe walked in the camp.
The young people were still immersed in excitement.
"Derum, if you become a Knight, does that mean you could grant us the title of Knight too?"
Derum shook his head and said, "In theory, yes, but it has no real significance. I heard from Lord Ulm that in the Frankish homeland, there are destitute Landless Knights everywhere who often become roadside bandits."
In theory, a Knight can grant the title of Knight to others, and many merchants, eager to move up the social hierarchy, would donate a small sum to a poor Knight to have their family heir serve as his Attendant.
But it holds no practical meaning.
