"What?!" exclaimed Earl Alpha, who looked back into his son's eyes and roared, "Why did you never tell me anything so serious!"

In an instant, Count Alpha's anger rose again, like a raging flame lion king, his anger rushed straight to the roof, and that deep regret and regret could be deeply felt by everyone present. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Matthew smiled bitterly, he propped up the ground with his hands, and whispered, "Father, let me get up first, I won't faint." ”

Count Alpha's eyes were red, he gasped twice, stood up violently, and took his son's body to stand up, "You explain it carefully to me, there can be no deviation in the slightest!" Then he turned his head and pleaded with Gail: "Gail, your strength is high, please help me take a good look!" Matthew ...... him."

At this point, the dignified earl was a little choked. He didn't expect that his son would be so seriously injured. As a father, he deeply blamed himself for caring too little about his son, and as the patriarch of the family, he deeply hated his son for hiding the pain that might endanger the entire family. The two emotions collided back and forth in the earl's heart, making him speechless, and for a while, he could not even speak normally.

Gale patted the Count on the shoulder, and asked him to calm down and sit down. Madame Betty also watched with concern, and for a moment she was touched by the Count's fatherly love, and she was also worried about Matthew's child's injury. She gave her husband a look and motioned that he could help him as much as he could.

Gail understood, and gently patted his wife's little hand. Betty sighed and grabbed her son's hand again, causing Theseus to blush again and writhe.

"Earl, please be uneasy. Gail's flat tone calmed the Count down a lot, and he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before opening his eyes again and staring into Gail's eyes.

"Matthew's injuries are very hidden, only occasional dizziness and chest tightness, and overwork can also be this phenomenon, which is difficult to tell, so he doesn't understand that there are extenuating circumstances, and you don't blame him. This kind of injury is mostly caused by being too impatient in cultivating the fighting spirit. I'm going to start by asking Matthew a few questions. ”

"Explain things clearly, when you are uncomfortable, when you are uncomfortable, what kind of discomfort, tell me carefully!" the Count glared at his son fiercely, and commanded sharply.

"Matthew, how many years have you been cultivating Dou Qi? When did you reach level 5 swordsman? How long did it take to go from level 5 to level 6? In addition to dizziness and chest tightness, are there any other symptoms, and do these symptoms occur frequently and how often? Recall them carefully first, and give me accurate information. ”

Matthew didn't hesitate, and replied directly: "This matter is also considered my heart disease, and I know it very well in my heart, so I can tell you directly." ”

The Count was furious with this, and almost wanted to get up and slap his son twice, but was persuaded by Lady Betty.

Matthew shrunk his neck and continued: "I have been cultivating Dou Qi for almost twelve years now, breaking through the junior swordsman at the age of sixteen and breaking through to the sixth level at the age of seventeen, which is this year. This state of affairs has been in this state for about three or four months after the breakthrough this year. The number of times is not much, the phenomenon of dizziness is exactly ten times, and the chest tightness is relatively high, basically once or twice a week. ”

Matthew smiled bitterly when he said this before he continued: "It is precisely because the symptoms are very mild that I thought it was because I was too tired from practicing, so I ......."

Gail pondered for a moment, and smiled at Count Alpha, who seemed to be calm but was actually looking nervously at him, and said, "It won't be long before you can supervise him to solve this hidden danger." ”

"How? I'll do it. "The Count is overjoyed.

"I've just helped him, but Matthew still needs time to recuperate. For three months to half a year, it is forbidden to practice, not even swordsmanship, no strenuous activities, no drinking alcohol, and no too oily food. The most important thing is to drink the blood of fresh colorful deer every three days, and if you can't get it, it must be at least three colored, and the amount should be multiplied by ten times. Gale commanded one by one.

The Count nodded from time to time, while his son, Matthew, became more and more uncomfortable the more he listened.

Suddenly, Xiusi couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing: "Haha, isn't this a demon pig!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all couldn't help laughing, even the earl. Matthew's face flushed, and he glared at Hughes fiercely before pressing it to his chest. Mrs. Betty also patted her son in disgust, but she couldn't hold back her laughter, so she had to turn her head away.

Gale smiled as well, and he glanced at Theseus, and then explained to the Count, "It's a little longer, but it's better to recover naturally than to use magic magic. After all, you should also know that although the divine technique is fast, the solidified nature in it is not a good thing for the qi veins used by swordsmen to cultivate. ”

The earl was very much in agreement: "That's right, if the qi veins are solidified, it will become a hidden danger when cultivating a larger essence of Dou Qi in the future." Or your approach thinks longer. ”

Gail nodded, and suddenly said to Matthew, who had just raised his head, something that made him wish there was a crack in the ground that he could get into directly, "By the way, there is another one to pay special attention to, during this period, women are not allowed to touch it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xius laughed heartlessly, and although he forced his voice, his shoulders still twitched violently.

The other adults automatically ignored this sentence, and everything returned to the atmosphere before the punishment, friendly and affectionate!

After Gale and the Earl chatted for a while, the apology trip ended perfectly, and the Earl and his son said goodbye to the Gail family and agreed that they would further their relationship with each other in the future.

After the count, a succession of viscounts, barons, lords, and several knights came with the children involved. However, compared to Matthew's matter, their circumstances are very minor, and it is not so much an apology as an excuse for these people to deepen their relationship with Viscount Gael.

Two days of noisy people have passed, and the Viscount Mansion, which has come and gone, has finally returned to calm again.

When the day of the court session came, the Gale family even sent only a butler to hear the trial. The verdict did not come out of Hughes's wishes, and Hiss was stripped of his inheritance and nobility, and then sent to the Black Forest. Although it is inland, it is not the front line of contact with the orcs, but the powerful demonic beasts in the Black Forest must be enough for Hiss to drink a good pot.

The court's move has obviously given enough face to the Horton family, which is about to rise strongly. And Shining City, which has always had only one center of power, with the tacit consent of Count Alpha, many lower-level nobles are attached to Viscount Gael. The Holden family, after the Phoenix family, successfully became the seventh center of power in Shining City and dozens of surrounding cities, on an equal footing with the Earl families.

As for the Dean family, where Heath belonged, a long silence began, and the legendary marquis's relatives did not lend any helping hand at all. And the Merrick junior swordsman he sent to protect Hiss, that is, the murderer, fled as soon as he knew that the sheriff had found the Dean's mansion, and was never heard from since.

Seventh day after the verdict!

Outside the gate of the castle in Gael's house, Mrs. Betty raised her hand to cover her eyes and looked into the distance, her eyes welling with tears and she shouted loudly not far away: "Remember, Hughes, my mother will always miss you, love you, and wait for you to come back!"

And in the direction of the rising sun, Hughes, who was shrouded in dazzling red light, rode on the back of a parked horse and waved vigorously to his mother: "Mother, I love you too, believe me, in three years, a stronger and more handsome son will return to you!

After shouting, the three horsemen were dressed in golden-red brilliance and galloped towards the red future......

The morning air is moisturizing, blowing wildly against the breeze, and the cool air blows through the face, making people feel refreshed!

Hughes took the two guards and flew for twenty miles, only then did he follow the advice of the guards, loosen the reins, and let the horses gradually slow down, recovering the consumption caused by the rapid running.

From the north gate of Shining City, to the next town where they are scheduled to rest, the distance between them is more than 50 kilometers. Without careful planning and saving horsepower, the three of them would have to spend the night in the wilderness.

Xius would have liked to get a taste of what it was like to spend the night in the wilderness, but his two guards strongly disagreed, especially the old coachman Nalko, a level 6 swordsman, who was strongly opposed to it. The other squire was a young man of about 18 years old, known to everyone as Ram, who had not yet broken through to the rank of junior swordsman. Maybe it was instructed by someone, but anyway, in the eyes of Hughus, this man was obviously more obedient to Nalko's words than himself, and he would smile and nod or echo almost every sentence.

Hughes was young and vigorous, and he was a little unconvinced by Nalco's decision: "Nalko, there are still many other small towns within 50 kilometers, and there are many villages, do I have to spend the night in that town 50 kilometers away?"

Nalco smiled bitterly and explained: "Young master, it is too unsafe to camp in the wilderness at night, although there are no big bandit gangs in this area, small bands of thieves are never uncommon. Especially the smugglers who always take advantage of the darkness and trade with the orcs. If they find out that a viscount heir is left alone, they will do it. As long as you are plundered to the Orc Empire and sold to the other party, it is a business with no capital. On the other hand, on our side, there are only two junior swordsmen, plus a ninth-order trainee swordsman, as long as we encounter a gang of more than twenty people, it is absolutely impossible to escape!"

Hughes interjected impatiently, "Nalco, didn't you hear me?, I don't have to spend the night in the wilderness, aren't there many villages and towns ahead?, we can settle there, even if the conditions are a little worse than the place you have chosen, it doesn't matter!"

Nalco still shook his head and refused: "Young master, this is the second reason I want to say. Within these 50 kilometers, there are seven villages and one town, which is quite a lot. But it is precisely these places that cannot be lived. Don't worry, let me explain it to you. I remember very well that the number of people in each of these seven villages did not exceed 200, including the elderly, the weak, women, and children. And that town, about seven hundred people in all, had only a ten-man guard.

In these places, there are neither high enough walls nor enough soldiers to stop the invasion of thieves. Once something happens, in a fixed place, it is very likely to be surrounded by a large group of people, and you can't run away. If you follow your lady's advice and bring a team of family guards, it is almost impossible for you to have an accident. But the current situation is that there are only three of us, and this little strength cannot resist the great danger. ”

Hearing this, Hughes also quieted down, although his heart was eager to try, but reason made him think about the pros and cons.

After a moment, Xius frowned and asked Nalco again, "According to what you said, the security within 50 kilometers of Radiant City is so chaotic that the Earl didn't even notice it?"

"Of course Lord Alpha knows, but the thieves here are a historical problem, and unless the orc empire is wiped out and this place becomes the interior of the kingdom, it is useless to send more troops to clear it. Take a step back, even if the swordsman regiment is successful in suppressing the thieves, as long as the army withdraws, the thieves will reappear like weeds, and they will not be able to eliminate them at all!"

"Why, Lord Nalco, are there still thieves who can't be killed by armies?" asked Ram curiously.

Nalco looked at the two young men in front of him, who were still young, and secretly sighed in his heart: "They are all innocent teenagers! It will take many years to sharpen before they can truly recognize this cruel continent." ”

Hughes flicked the reins and lowered the horse's speed, "Nalco, I'm curious about this too, how much do you know, tell me." ”

"Yes, young master. Nalco looked into the distance, sighed, and said slowly......

In the days that followed, humanity multiplied and grew rapidly, once again forming a powerful combined army to attack the remaining orcs.

Without the help of the beast god, the orcs were completely unable to resist. The human alliance is like a bamboo, and the remnants of the orcs are delaying the human attack with death, and the roles of the two have been completely reversed in just a few decades. And the super-large-scale war did not gradually stop until the orcs were driven to their current territory, the Raian Empire.

Tens of thousands of years of grudges have been unleashed in decades of slaughter, and the pride of humanity has even begun to distort the history books. It is obviously a life-and-death struggle between two intelligent races, but in the books of some "authoritative" historians, it has gradually become a thousand-year resistance of intelligent humans to barbarian orcs!

And when the old people who had experienced the war passed away and most of the newly-born human beings accepted the idea of "human supremacy," their contempt for orcs became even more serious, and their hatred for orcs quickly faded -- yes, how could intelligent human beings admit that they had great hatred for a group of animals still covered with hair!

After that, a thousand years of peace followed, and the hatred between them was almost consumed.

If it weren't for the Holy War Province of the Allianz Kingdom, but elsewhere within the continent, I'm afraid many people would only know from the history books that a thousand years ago, there were such powerful enemies for mankind!

Stemming from human nature, when hatred is reduced to a level of decay, the appeal for profit is enough to overpower any worries and fears. A large number of merchant groups, with the support of the aristocratic forces behind the scenes, secretly smuggled frequently on the front line of the front line of the defense against the orcs, that is, the battle fort of Gangaru.

At the risk of hanging, they sold grain, cloth, and salt into the territory of the Orc Empire in exchange for the fur of the beasts, special minerals, magic materials, and a large number of magic cores. Every time you go in and out, it is a profit of tens of thousands of gold coins, or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This violence is enough to make the humans who hate orcs the most join in. For example, some large merchant groups with the background of the Bright Church!
