The inheritance was too important, and he was not in the mood or ability to waste the few resources he had left. If the parents of this young man www.biquge.info know that he embarked on the road of knighthood with his help, and he himself has no conspicuous achievements, the knightly inheritance that is largely in his hands will most likely really collapse under the strong blows of external forces, and even disappear forever from the history of the continent.

It's not what he wants to see, he absolutely believes in this path, but he can't afford to gamble.

"Well, I see your ability, hehe, what you want to ask, I know everything. Arthur laughed.

For Arthur's refreshing answer, Hughes was a little overwhelmed, and he was surprised. Although he thinks he is very sincere, the two have never known each other after all, and they are so easy to talk when they meet for the first time, it seems that the other party trusts him too much. A great knight, in fact, a great swordsman, is so approachable that Xius always has a vague feeling that this is very abnormal. Although he couldn't actually say where this abnormality came from, he just wasn't very stable in his heart.

However, such a thought only passed for a moment, and he immediately turned his attention back to business.

"Lord Arthur, first of all, I would like to know what you think of knights, what is the difference between knights and swordsmen, what are the strengths and weaknesses of knights, and in what form should knights show their strength......

Theseus began to ask questions he didn't understand, and Arthur listened carefully, sometimes nodding and smiling, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes silent...... Time passed quickly in the Q&A between the two.

Before he knew it, Hughes suddenly felt a little dim in front of him, and the light was no longer as bright as it had been when he first arrived. He subconsciously glanced at the window, and couldn't help but be surprised that the sky outside was already dark, and it was obviously the time when the sun had set.

He immediately stood up and apologized to Arthur, who was still pondering the question he had raised, "I beg your pardon for delaying you for so long, and now it's time for dinner." ”

Arthur also reacted at this time, he smiled and nodded to Xius, and motioned for Xiusi to sit down: "It's okay, I haven't thought about some of the questions you asked, it's very enlightening, time is nothing, what I have is time, hehe." ”

Hughes smiled bitterly, he didn't mean it. The other party does have time, but if he still doesn't go back to eat, he will be hungry tonight. But he couldn't say it clearly-giving up the opportunity to study for the sake of eating, wouldn't such a direct statement make the Grand Knight feel that he was not determined? If that was the case, he would be too wronged, and he had already worked hard all afternoon.

While Hughes was hesitating, the quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken by a knock on the door, and Hughes and Arthur looked at the door at the same time.

Who could it be?" Theseus thought about as he immediately got up and opened the door on Mentor Arthur's behalf.

"Hello, Mentor Arthur, my name is Alan Verane, and I've come to visit you. As soon as Hughes opened the door, a figure immediately bowed to him and introduced himself in a hurried tone.

Xius was stunned for a moment, and then he stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Allen, my name is Xius, and Mentor Arthur is in the house." ”

Allen, who was still bowing his head, raised his head suddenly, and after looking Xiusi up and down, he realized that the person standing in front of him was indeed not a middle-aged uncle, but a handsome and noble young man, and the other party also extended a hand of friendship to him.

Alan hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake Theseus, and asked with a hesitant smile, "Are you? I heard that Mentor Arthur has always lived alone, and you are his relative?"

Hughes smiled, stepped out of the way, and made a gesture of please: "You think badly, Mr. Allen, I'm just like you, I'm here to visit Mentor Arthur, of course, I'm a little earlier than you." ”

Alan was relieved, his nervous expression relaxed, he chuckled, shook Theseus's hand vigorously, and whispered: "Okay, it seems that I have a new friend, hehe, can I go in?"

Hughes turned his head to look at Arthur, the other party smiled and nodded, and Hughes turned back and smiled: "Of course, Mentor Arthur invites you in." ”

Arthur looked at the boy named Allen, who had just come in. The other party was slender, a little taller than Theseus, his skin was very white, and his facial features were very delicate, especially the sapphire-like eyes, which radiated a sparkling light even in a dim room. He was wearing a pure white swordsman's suit, although he couldn't see the subtleties because of the light, but the faint refraction of the golden light on the clothing had proved that this boy named Alan should also be a noble child, at least the child of a wealthy merchant.

"Hello, Mentor Arthur, my name is Alan, and I have come here to learn more about knighthood with you. Because, I've been thinking about becoming a knight lately. Alan was respectful and courteous. Sure enough, just the salute he performed showed that he was indeed from a noble family, because that etiquette was reserved for nobles to meet each other, although it was a little ancient.

Mentor Arthur's eyes flashed, he smiled and asked Alan to sit down, but he kept muttering in his heart: What's the matter today, no one has come for a few months, and today there are two excellent children all of a sudden?

Hughes closed the door and sat down on the couch by himself, compared to Alan's restraint, he was quite relaxed after spending a whole afternoon at Arthur's house, and he didn't feel pressured to face a great knight.

"It's really strange today that you two are both here to ask about the knights, do you know each other?" Arthur thought for a moment and smiled at Alan, pointing at Theseus.

Theseus and Alan looked at each other, of course they didn't know each other, and it was completely clear from the meeting they had just entered the door.

"I don't know!" both replied at the same time.

Alan said, "I've heard of your prestige as Mentor Arthur for a long time, but because I have just entered the school, this week has been used to adjust to the new life of the academy, so I have not been able to come to visit you. Now that I'm basically used to it, I'll come over as soon as I have time. Is this friend like me?" he looked at Theseus, his expression surprised.

Hughes smiled and answered him.

Arthur also smiled: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment, my prestige, hehe, it's not worth mentioning." But you are the same, Theseus has never met me before, and he only came here at noon today, and asked about knights. Hehe, I'm either not looking down on anyone here, or I'm just going to do two at once. Speaking of which, there is a fate between us. ”

Xius smiled and nodded, Alan saw that neither of them was a serious person, and gradually let go, and the laughter was very hearty, so that people could feel the sunshine and cheerfulness of this teenager as soon as they heard it.

Arthur looked at the sky again, frowned slightly, and suddenly smiled after a moment: "Alan, have you eaten?"

Alan shook his head: "I just came here after the training session, and I haven't had time to eat yet, and this time is the time when the cafeteria is the most crowded, and I don't want to squeeze it." ”

Arthur nodded, he stood up, and said happily to the two of them: "That's just right, Xiusi chatted with me for an afternoon, I must be hungry, and you haven't eaten, why don't we three men do it ourselves, and make us a hearty dinner!"

Alan was stunned at first, and then applauded with great interest, while Xius was quite surprised and embarrassed. Growing up so big, he has always been a young master who stretches out his hands to eat and open his mouth, and he has never done such a handyman as cooking. He hadn't even been in the kitchen, and he didn't even know what it looked like. And in Hughes's understanding, he actually thought that being a chef was a lowly profession.

So, when he heard Arthur's advice, he could hardly believe that Arthur Astori, such a big man, could still cook for himself. Hughes had thought that even if Arthur Astory, the great knight, was no longer welcome, at least there should be a maid in the house.

But now, this idea of his has been completely overturned, and the big knight is really cooking for himself!

"Come along, Theseus, and if you don't know how to do it, you can help me with Alan. Arthur beckoned to Allen, and the two walked back with a smile, and after thinking for a while, Theseus gritted his teeth and followed. Perhaps, the opportunity to gain the favor of the Grand Knight is here.

Cooking is not a difficult task, but it is a very tedious task.

While helping Arthur and them, Theseus has a deeper understanding of Arthur's plight. This embarrassment may not come entirely from money, but more from a sense of embarrassment in the dignity of the strong. If you can describe it in two words, it is downcast! Arthur felt that the great knight was really too down. Just because he chose a path that no one has taken, he loses all the glory he has gained.

It didn't take long for the skilled knight to make three barbecue cutlets, three cheese breads, and three glasses of red wine. The half bottle in the wine cabinet was taken out by a happy Arthur, who insisted on pouring it despite the good words of Theseus.

"Don't worry, I can still afford a bottle of red wine, Theseus, please sit down. The Grand Knight pressed Hughes gently into his seat, and Alan grinned as he brought the dinner. After all the candlesticks on the table were lit, the dining room was lit up.

After the routine prayer before eating, the three of them feasted.

The kebab steak is relatively tasty, but the seasoning seems to be a little too flavorful, and it is slightly mushy in places. Coupled with the fact that the milk obviously did not remove the fish, such a dinner in his mouth made Xiusi frown slightly. He quietly observed Allen's performance, and found that he really had a problem with this, and his face was also not very good-looking. Only the Grand Knight's face was very calm, ignoring the strange expressions of Theseus and Allen.

No one took the opportunity to speak during the meal, and the time was spent in silence.

After eating and drinking, the three of them returned to the couch, and this time, both Hughes and Alan took the initiative to sit on the single sofa next to them, leaving the long row of couches in the middle to Arthur.

"All right, lads, when we're full of wine and food, let's get down to business. Don't ask, let me tell you what I think. Arthur withdrew his smile, his gaze did not seem to focus, but shook his head imperceptibly at the same time into the eyes of the two teenagers who were sitting in front of him.

It was time to put an end to this fateful conversation! Although he had just invited two young men to dinner, in fact, before the meal, he had already decided to deal a small blow to these two young men whose purpose was unknown, but who were still fanciful.

"To be able to enter the Royal Family Warrior Academy, there is no doubt about your qualifications, if you devote yourself to sword training, your achievements in the future will not be lower than that of high-level swordsmen. Coupled with your respective aristocratic backgrounds, it's not difficult to get a half-rank in the army, or in the city guard. If you stay up honestly for a few more years and fight a few small battles that are not very dangerous, you will soon be able to become a middle-level officer or even a high-level general. What a bright future this is, even I envy it! There is absolutely no need for you to follow my path of gloomy prospects. Hehe~, besides, you have seen it with your own eyes, I am a great knight of the same level as the great sword master, but I can only be an unpopular logistics tutor in the Royal Family Warrior Academy, compared to those great nobles with the same strength but in high positions, don't you think your ideas are too out of place? So, go back, take me as a ring, practice swordsmanship well, and only then can you achieve something in the future and contribute more strength to the kingdom and family. Go back, boys!"

After saying this, Arthur didn't look at the expressions of the two people in front of him, he directly lowered his eyelids slightly, making a look of closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Alan is silent!

After a few moments, Theseus and Eren looked at each other and stood up almost at the same time.

"Lord Arthur, your words make sense. But if I want to ask you some questions about horseback riding, would you like to point me out?" Alan asked first.

Of course, he was surprised by such a result. It's just that when he thought that he had never known each other with Mentor Arthur in his life, he came to visit the situation so recklessly, and Alan felt that it was reasonable to have such a result. But he wouldn't just give up, although he had seen the downfall of the first knight, he didn't care. His family background allowed him to ignore the price the kingdom paid to woo a great swordsman. What's more, with the goal of soaking all the beauties in the world, he really needs a super style profession like a knight.

Arthur didn't open his eyes, but he nodded slightly. Then he turned his head slightly, facing Theseus.

Naturally, Hughes will not waver in the slightest. The purpose of today's meeting has been fully achieved, and since the host has sent off the guests, then he just goes back. After all, if you want to invite a great knight out of the mountain to be your own mentor, you can't just talk about it. Theseus knew that he still needed to impress the great knight with patience and persistence day after day.

"Lord Arthur, you will finally understand my determination!" an ordinary sentence, but it contains incomparable determination. The two people present felt this surging and firm will. Arthur immediately opened his eyes, he stared at the face of Hughes quietly, and after a moment, he nodded slightly, but said something meaningful, "Being young is a good thing and a bad thing. ”
