“What is he doing?”

“I heard that Master has found a master archer. He’s now playing over there.”

“Archer? Don’t we already have Jax? Does Master want to recruit another archery coach?”

“Maybe.”

The servants passed by the archery range could not help but gossip when they saw the scene there.

At this moment, in the archery range, besides their old master, Graves, there was also a group of people. They were either wearing heavy plate armor or exposing their upper body muscles. They looked like they had just finished training.

They were all hangers-on recruited by the old master. They did not need to work on weekdays. They only needed to occasionally accompany the old master to practice martial arts.

All these hangers-on had their own abilities. The old master’s training was carried out one by one. It was indeed rare to see a scene like today where all the people gathered together.

And in the middle of this group of people, there was a completely unfamiliar man.

It was said that this man seemed to be Miss Camilla’s personal guest. However, this rumor was not that believable. After all, everyone believed that this family cared so much about their reputation, and unmarried women usually would not do such controversial things.

Moreover, even if Miss Camilla had reached the right age and was eager to socialize with outstanding men, it should not be such a man in a cheap suit.

…

Alvin stood in the archery range. When he saw that the servants passing by would glance at him and whisper to each other, he swore in his heart that he would change into a suit that fit him after he went back. If not, he would not wear such a thing anymore in the future.

However, this was not the main concern. At this moment, the important issue was how to pass this hurdle.

Alvin knew that his only advantage was his strength. If he were to shoot arrows, they would probably miss the target and fly away without a trace.

At this moment, the people gathered around were not a bunch of good-for-nothings. They either had strong muscles, or their arms were much longer than normal people. They wore all kinds of armor and looked fierce.

If in front of these people, they realized that he was not the so-called master archer who could move freely and shoot wherever he wanted…

He would not know if he would be surrounded and beaten to death by these people.

“Hello, my name is Tasarro, the German two-handed sword champion. Nice to meet you, Master Archer…”

“I heard that you are very good at archery. Do you know how to ride a horse? I can teach you how to ride a horse, and you can teach me archery. Oh yes, my name is…”

“Master Archer… My name is… Nice to meet you…”

…

Those people greeted Alvin one by one. Everyone respectfully called him Master. This made Alvin’s heart, which was already hanging in the air, beat faster and faster.

The atmosphere also became more and more enthusiastic. They cheered enthusiastically, but Alvin was feeling more and more diffident.

At this moment, Graves had already taken off his Milan plate armor and changed into a normal bathrobe.

As soon as he saw Alvin, he smiled and said, “Haha, Alvin, the atmosphere here is not bad, right?”

“Not bad…”

“As long as you’re happy. I’ll then let my people perform a little first.”

As Graves spoke, he shouted a name in a direction.

“Jax! My best warrior, draw the bow!”

Amidst the cheers, a strong figure walked out from the crowd heading towards Alvin.

Jax was wearing a chain mail armor as if he was wearing a raincoat.

He lifted his hood and revealed his bald head. His beard was pushed up by the smile and he reached out to shake hands with Alvin.

“Hehe, I heard that you are a master archer. You have to give me some leeway, Haha.”

Alvin felt the thickness of this person’s palm, as well as that rough callus. He must have been a veteran who had been training all year round.
