Chapter 203: The Great Farming Era (6)
The Templar raised his head proudly under his father's praise, although the relationship between the nobles and the new commoners, who only retained their noble titles, was as stiff as before, but there were still some unnatural, and all kinds of secret comparisons were constantly occurring, and this comparison even directly affected the rigid relationship between the garrison and the religious guards in the army, and between the garrison and the religious guards, in fact, there was a certain civil basis.
Jack's parents could only look at this noble knight and his old lord with endless emotion, although they no longer have any master-servant relationship, but the former unease still made them a little unconfident, and now it is even more unnatural to see the sons of the old lords who are the same age as their own sons becoming knights.
The old lord was very satisfied with the convincing face of the former mud-legged man in his own territory, and at the same time looked at his son with an extraordinarily kind and gentle look, his son today showed himself the nobility of nobility.
Although the nobles were conservative and suppressed, they still thought about how to show their noble side all the time, but at this moment, a crisp sound of horses' hooves came to mind on the side of the street, and the first person to react to the sound of horses' hooves was the nobleman's Templar son, who looked over a little stunned, and then his eyes became extremely unnatural.
The old nobleman looked at his son's eyes, a knight who was also tall and mighty, and was also handsome and extraordinary compared to the Templars, riding a tall war horse step by step, the Templars had a little more sacredness, and the Imperial knights had a little more majesty, although the knights of the two knights taught the guards to be above the garrison, but in fact the status of the two branches of the army was almost equal, and there was no clear comparison between their ranks, except for the Praetorian Guard, who was a well-deserved boss, and the remaining two were all competing for the position of the second for a long time.
This situation also created the Imperial Knights of the Garrison, who were not afraid of the Templars of the Guardian Army.
Seeing an Imperial knight suddenly appear, the Templar gave a military salute unnaturally, and Jack also returned a military salute, although the Templar and the Imperial knight had various grievances, but when they were outside, they still needed to maintain the necessary etiquette within the army, the Templar opened his mouth uncomfortably:
"Hello brother, are you passing through here?"
Theoretically, only this Templar can still talk to Jack here, after all, their identities are the most similar, and after seeing Jack, the expressions of the old nobleman and the Templar are unnatural, while those commoners are elated, because the people of the entire Templar Empire know that every Imperial knight is definitely a commoner, and they are the most direct proof that the commoners are not weaker than the nobles at all, and the civilians who have just been suppressed by their old lord and can't raise their heads look at this Imperial Knight with appreciative and relieved eyesใ
It is indeed gratifying, because in their opinion, this imperial knight who was born as a commoner is the child of all their civilians, and when they see their children so promising, then they will naturally behave abnormally, and they all think that this is just a passing imperial knight, after all, even if there are more military families in the north, the probability of two knights on one street is still too small, and they don't think that they have such good luck on this street.
It's just that the Imperial Knight who covered his face in the helmet did not speak, but stood quietly, everyone was slightly puzzled, many people felt that this Imperial Knight was a little unkind, and the Templars were ready to stand up for their neighbors almost without thinking about it, although it was true that he was a nobleman, but time has passed, and this elder who was under his father and collar had already taken care of his own after growing up. The people of the leader regarded them as his own relatives, and he naturally did not have children and hurt his relatives by others.
It's just that at this moment, an old woman suddenly couldn't believe it, and said a sentence with deep doubts:
"Jack?"
The old woman's words trembled and were completely incredulous, she didn't know why she suddenly said this, but his intuition told him that the person standing in front of him at this time was his child, the child of him who had gone out to be a soldier for five years, but she couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe that her son had now become a knight of the empire!
Jack's mother's incredulous words made Jack not hold back his tears for a moment, anyone who hasn't seen his parents for five years, and now he suddenly sees his mother, and he recognizes himself directly, even an iron man can't bear it, and the man doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not time to be sad.
However, Jack's relationship with his mother is different, and the others are dumbfounded, just like this nobleman's son was raised by everyone, and Jack is not what they watched grow up, in fact, Jack and this Templar can be called the closest playmates when they were children, this Templar has said more than once that he will make Jack his own knight, Jack also dreamed of becoming a knight of the nobility, and now the knight himself has finally become, but his former lord has changed.
Jack took off his helmet, and the young and heroic face made the eyes of those present light up, and Jack looked directly at the Templar, and his tone was slightly teasing:
"What? Cayo, don't you recognize me now?"
The people on the streets, all crashed!
In the previous lesson, they were still criticizing Jack's mother for being crazy, and they would be crazy to think that the tall Imperial Knight in front of him would be his son, but now when Jack took off his helmet, all of them couldn't laugh anymore, because this Imperial Knight was really the son of Jack's mother.
Jack's parents looked at their son in disbelief who had not seen them for five years, especially the handsome knight's armor on his body, they took a step forward almost uncontrollably, first wanting to touch their son, and then being intimidated by the tall war horse in front of them, Jack got off the horse with a smile, stroked his war horse, let it settle down, and then put his parents' hands on the horse's neck:
"Don't worry, he's very gentle!"
Cayo looked at his childhood friend with mixed emotions at this time, and there were thousands of emotions, but the most was that he was happy with his little friend's current good situation.
After reassuring his parents, Jack walked towards Cayo with a smile on his face, and then straightened his chest and slammed it on Cayo's chest:
"We didn't disgrace our village!?"
"Ahh
A question, the faces of everyone present lost their discomfort, and the nobles and commoners all remembered their new identity at this moment, and Cailliaud's father, a citizen of the Empire, said even more happily:
"They all come to my house for dinner tonight, I'm in for a treat, our village has moved to this town, but we haven't eaten together again!"
...
The news of the two knights in their village quickly spread throughout the town, the vast majority of the population of this town are migrated villagers, although they no longer cultivate the land now, but are engaged in industry and commerce, but still have the simplicity of farmers, perhaps to show the preferential treatment of the young people in their village, after Cayo's father decided to invite the people of his village to dinner, they were very happy to raise the scale to invite everyone who was willing to come to eat together, and this time everyone contributed money and efforts together.
Soon, almost the entire town sent a person from every family, many of them either brought their young sons, or their unmarried daughters, please, this is a knight, whether it is in terms of wealth or ability, they have proved their excellence and outstanding, marrying their daughters to them, is simply a sure deal.
"Come on, come on, let's pay tribute to the young knights of our village again!"
Cayo's father raised the wine glass in his hand excitedly, and poured the milk and frosted beer into his stomach, while the people who came to the banquet also raised the wine glass in their hands, sending endless blessings to Cayo and Jack, and at the same time, Cayo's father and Jack's parents, one village and two knights, which was enough to make the people of the village hold their heads high.
As for these two knights, many people brought their sons to them, thinking that their sons were more suitable to be imperial knights, so they thought that Jack's side was closer, and those who thought that their son could be a Templar were closer to Cayo, and the number of people on the two sides was in stark contrast, and there were many more people around Jack.
For this point, the people of Jack's village are proud to look at this scene, at this moment they are not commoners or nobles, they are villagers of a village, seeing the next generation of their village so competitive, they are naturally very excited, and at the same time, they began to look at the little girls present for their two young people, which one is more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of their village.
The dinner was eaten very late, and Cailliaud's father was even more happy to drink almost a whole barrel of beer, until the last person left here, and the villagers agreed to come together tomorrow morning to clean up the feast, and the normal dinner was over, and it is worth mentioning that Cailliaud and Jack did not accept any marriage offer or girl.
The two of them took advantage of everyone to rest, and walked alone towards the small hill outside the town, the police officer in charge of night patrol in the town saw two people in knight's uniforms walking on the street, wanted to ask but didn't dare to go up, the two of them just walked directly to the small hillside, sitting here, they looked at the town in the dark, the beautiful buildings and their own family's natural difference in life improved, so that their hearts had some impetuousness, their emotions were more excited, they sat for a long time, or Cailliaud was the first to speak:
"I didn't expect our hometown to become like this now!"
Cayo's tone was not without emotion, and Jack also agreed with great emotion:
"Time flies so fast, I still think it's just a dream!"
"This is not a dream, of course this is not a dream, this is the beautiful life that His Majesty the Great Son of God has brought us!"
Cailliaud's ability to become a Templar made some sense, and after saying this with a fanatical expression, he suddenly pulled out his accessory, thrust it into the hand with a bang, and bowed his head reverently to the hilt of the cross:
"I swear that I will protect the sacred, and I will bring the will of the Son of God to every land, the will of the Son of God is the meaning of my existence, and loyalty to the Son of God is all I have, Templars, and always follow the glory of the Son of God!"
Cailliaud's piety caught Jack's eyes, and he was muttering in a low voice at the corner of his mouth:
"I swear, I will protect the empire, I will give the order of the empire to everything, the peace of the empire is the meaning of my existence, the service to the empire is all I have, the knight of the empire, always at the forefront of the empire!"
These two sets of Imperial Knights and Templars' declarations of joining the group made them say it at this moment, which led to the wireless excitement in their hearts, and Cailliaud's eyes raised his head feverishly and looked at his partner:
"Jack, if I had any faint faith in the Son of God before, now I will completely dedicate myself to the Son of God, for..."
"Everything in front of you!"
Jack said the latter words for Cayo, yes, the change in their hometown is enough to make them completely surrender to Lelouch, no matter whether Lelouch is a conspiracy or not, Jack's hometown at this time is the best proof of Lelouch's benevolence, the starting point and process are not important, the result speaks for itself!
The words of the two knights, Cayo and Jack, did not reach Lelouch's ears, in fact, the words of the two little knights would not be sent to Lelouch by anyone, His Majesty was very busy, and there was no time to pay attention to these little knights.
While Jack and Cailliaud were in their hometown for this miraculous improvement in their lives, Lelouch was talking to a tall figure, their tone was high, as if they were saying something terrible, and that tall figure was a centaur.
"Your Majesty, we have decided, accept your proposal!"
The envoy of Qiyan stood respectfully in front of Lu Luxiu, the reason why there is this scene is because as early as after Lu Lu Xiu occupied Baicheng, a proposal to Qi Yan, in which book, Lu Lu Xiu put forward a proposal that made Qi Yan unbelievable:
"The grasslands outside the heaven-sent land, all given to the centaur clan!"
Just as a price:
"The centaurs renounce the Imperial title and become a federal kingdom under the Templar Empire!"
And now, it seems that Qiyan has finally made up his mind, or rather, the centaur has made up his mind!
