Chapter 201: You Don't Need to Thank Me
Even though Arthur and the others were gradually moving away from the center of the camp under Tom's leadership, the eyes of the crowd were still on them, or rather, everyone was still watching Arthur. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They wondered where Arthur came from, and were shocked that he had the strength to fight Jonathan at such a young age, with Sarginko's chief disciple as a companion, and took a living dragon with him like a pet, giving orders to it, and the other party was obedient like a pet.
It's all incredible.
Despite Arthur's most important strength for a mercenary, he is seen with hostility because of his rudeness towards the Golden Lion.
Arthur and his companions felt the hostility, but they didn't care.
Tom led the men to meet Thomas, and Old Bren squeezed to the front, excitedly grabbed Arthur's hand and said, "I can't think of it! Arthur! You're amazing! My eyes are so white! I can't see that you young people are so powerful! ”
Brown also sighed sincerely: "Seriously, I'm dumbfounded!" When we walked with you before, we thought we were protecting you, but in fact it was the other way around! You alone are better than all of us! Too much stronger! It's clear that you've protected us! ”
Old Brun's nephews and nephews surrounded Arthur and admired his bravery. Billy, the tall, lanky bucktooth wants to get close to Arthur, but because the three children are crowded in front of him, he can only express his gratitude and admiration to Arthur through them.
He wanted to pat Arthur on the shoulder, but his hand stopped halfway out, he was sure that Arthur was not an ordinary person, he was not sure if he could have such intimate actions with Arthur, who was not an ordinary person, whether this was disrespectful to him, so he was like a slender tall tree trapped and bound, with innocent admiration and a little embarrassment on his face, embarrassed from a distance, constantly repeating his admiration.
Gerald stood in the distance, looking at Arthur who was surrounded in the center, listening to those words of admiration, only to feel noisy.
Tom learned of Old Brun's condition from Thomas, and then said to him, "I think you already know that you have not passed the test and cannot join the group. ”
Tom's words darkened the smiles on everyone's faces.
"Yes, we know." Old Brun said with a little helplessness, but his head was still high.
"The person who tested is the weakest one in the reserves, if you can't pass the test, it means that you can't meet the minimum requirements of the Golden Lion Regiment, I regret it, Mr. Bren, your age and body are no longer able to withstand fierce battles, and your nephew and two nephews are too young, the Golden Lion Regiment is a mercenary group, not a nursery, I believe that it is a better choice for them to let them have a normal childhood."
Old Bren sighed deeply, and then said, "I thank you for saying these words, and if it weren't for the fact that there is no way to live, I would not have brought these children to be mercenaries." ”
After saying that, Old Brun looked back at Arthur, grabbed his son Brown's hand, and put it in Arthur's hand.
Brown was a little surprised: "Dad? ”
Old Buren didn't respond to his son, he said directly to Arthur: "My son is very simple, he hasn't seen much of the world, and he doesn't have a solid physical foundation, Arthur, if you can, please look at him, just a little bit, please, please!" ”
Arthur was also a little surprised, he looked at Brown, then at Old Bren, and said sincerely: "It's not that I don't want to, but we're not sure if we'll join the group." ”
Old Bren nodded vigorously: "I know!" I know! Even if it's just for these two days, we've never been apart, I can't rest assured, if you look at him, it will be a great relief for me, please, please! ”
Brown saw his father's plea for him for the first time, his eyes were a little red, and he didn't know what to say, and Arthur received such a request for the first time, and he didn't know how to respond, he felt Old Blen's hand holding his hand, and the power of that hand was different kind of heavy.
"I see, I'll do my best." Arthur replied, "Because there are still so many unknowns that I can't promise you, I can only say that when I can look at him, I'll pay attention to him." ”
Old Bren burst out laughing. He nodded vigorously again, shaking Arthur's hand excitedly, even Brown's.
After a while, he suddenly approached Arthur's ear and whispered, "I know that Gerald may make you feel unpleasant, but he is the son of my deceased friend after all, and this child is really not bad in nature, if you can, can you please take a look at him too?" ”
Arthur looked at Gerald, who was standing on the outskirts of the crowd, and saw the gloomy expression and gloomy look in his eyes when he looked at himself, but he still nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
Old Bren was completely relieved. He solemnly thanked Arthur, as well as Werther, Nein, and Hawkins, and told them that he would take his children and settle down in the town of Ponto for the time being, find work in the town to earn money, and when Brown and the others were settled, they would return to the village and try to rebuild their home.
Arthur looked at Werther, who understood what Arthur was thinking, took out a small bag of gold coins from his backpack and handed it to Arthur, who stuffed the bag of gold coins into Old Brun's hand and said, "Take it, use it to settle down in Pontotown, take care of your family, and rebuild your home." ”
Old Brun suddenly shook his head in panic: "How can this be!?" We have been blessed by you! ”
Brown also shook his head vigorously, and anxiously echoed: "Yes, yes! This is absolutely not a no-go! ”
Arthur patted the back of Old Brun's hand and said, "Take it, we have a lot of money anyway, it's nothing to us, these children are too thin, you have to give them enough food to eat so that they can be strong, buy them good quality clothes and shoes, so that they can hold their heads high under the gaze of strangers." ”
Old Brun choked up, tears rolling in his eyes: "How can I thank you...... I really...... I do not know...... I don't know ......."
"You don't need to thank me." Arthur patted Old Buren on the shoulder, "You have worked so hard to get here, and you deserve it." ”
Before tears welled up, Old Bren said goodbye to the crowd and walked down the hill with his three children to the town of Ponto.
As the sun was about to set, Tom took Arthur and the others, along with the new entrants Brown, Bucktooth Billy, and Gerrard, to the reserve area, familiarized them with the place, and then led them into the assembly hall with the rest of the reserve team.
The assembly hall is the largest cabin in the reserve area, which can accommodate all reserve members, and many other functions, one of which is the cafeteria.
