Chapter 30: Field's Psychological Shadow
Coming out of Professor Jin's room, Professor Jin hurriedly ran to install the satellite components, but Li Youran was not in the mood to see it, anyway, he didn't understand, so he just waited to see the liftoff tomorrow.
Field still hasn't appeared, in the past, he always loved to show loyalty and show muscles in front of him, but now he collapsed because of a blow, to be honest, Field's fragility made him a little disappointed, but for the knight he had high hopes for, Li Youran still didn't want to give up on him.
So he and Morton and the guards went to the pub outside the castle, and according to Heywood, Field was now at the bar every day and hadn't picked up his sword for a long time.
The lord went out on patrol, naturally it was majestic, Li Youran took the lead, put on his own armor, opened the face armor, people naturally knew who it was as soon as they saw that face, behind was Morton, who was also wearing armor, holding an elf bow in his hand, closely following Li Youran's lower right, the guards behind were divided into two rows, all wearing standard steel armor, of course, not the kind of armed with a machine spirit, the standard modeled on the armor on Morton's body, and then equipped it on the body of the guard members after a little modification, The polished shiny armor shocked the whole team, not to mention the rest, as far as the majesty of Cheng dΓΉ is concerned, it is a barrage.
Of course, if he appears on the battlefield, it is also a standard target, and he will only tell the enemy army, and the main general is here.
Li Youran stood at the door of the bar and glanced at the signboard, Time and Space Tavern? Seems to be your own property? But it didn't matter, and tilted his head at Morton behind him.
Morton is very embarrassed, this is the property of the lord's family, although now the lord let him do it, but it seems that now the lord's property is in the hands of the lord's mother, if you ask. What should I do if I have to compensate myself? However, Li Youran obviously couldn't wait, and urged several times in a row, and finally Morton gritted his teeth and walked up and kicked the door away.
There was a large ping-pong sound inside, as if a lot of things had been broken, and when he heard this, Li Youran couldn't help but glance at Morton reproachfully, and the meaning was obvious: "Can't you be light?" Broke something. You don't have to pay, do you? That's what you have to pay for! β
Morton shrugged innocently, meaning "You made me kick me!" β
A halfling man came out, carrying a wine bottle in his hand, and said, "Whoever did it, he is impatient, and he knows whose property it is!" Your lord, come here to make trouble, and let you in at once. β
"Into what?" Li Youran squinted his eyes and stared at the halfling and said.
"It's good to come in and close, master! I miss you so much, master! You see, I've grown the tavern a lot, and now I'm a well-known wine supplier in the Griffon Empire, and the high-end market has been captured by our territory! This is also thanks to the high liquor and distillation you say. is successful, the master is really knowledgeable! β
After seeing that it was the lord, the halfling immediately changed his tone, and instead slapped his ass, Li Youran listened with a smile, he didn't plan to find trouble with the halfling, on the contrary, if he didn't kill himself this time, but someone else came here to make trouble. He would be glad that the halfling would have the audacity to speak out, after all, this is his own territory. The store is also his own shop, and it is normal for a halfling to be arrogant at all, so he doesn't have any idea of being a low-key person! The Otherworldly doesn't believe this, and your low profile will only make more and more people step on you, showing your authority is to better maintain your rule and the peace of your rule, which is why he never objected to Carl's practice of hanging thieves.
"Oh! You did very well. But I'm not here to play today, I'm here to find someone, and your credit will be recorded in the credit book. Li Youran praised a few words lightly, selling wine? What profit can there be?
Of course, Li Youran didn't care now, but when he saw the transaction records of the wine. He was immediately surprised, could it be that people from the other world were all drunkards? Or is it that the aristocracy is stupid and has a lot of money?
Of course, now that he needed to find Field, the halfling man immediately moved out of the way, bowed to the side and led Li leisurely into the tavern.
"Don't know what you're looking for?" The already short halfling was now even more groveling to the extreme, and he was about to touch the ground with his head.
"Field, you know no! I've seen him, go about your own business! Li leisurely dismissed the halfling, and then walked to Field, who was drunk at the bar, sleeping and snoring.
Li Youran walked to his side, Field seemed to be sleeping very hard, and there was no vigilance at all, Li Youran shook his head when he saw this situation, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the ice bucket placed aside, mixed with cold water, used to cool some wine, but now it is spring, there is still a trace of coldness.
A guard picked up the ice bucket and handed it to Li Youran, who took the ice bucket and lifted it to the sky to face Field's, pouring it down directly, and a bucket of ice water immediately made Field sober up.
Being disturbed from sleeping made Field, who was already depressed, even more irritable, and stood up with a loud roar and shouted: "That bastard dares to splash your Uncle Field, Lao Tzu is going to kill him alive today." After saying that, he kicked over the chair on the side, and then he was about to go to the person next to him to settle the score.
"It's me bastard who splashed you, why do you want to be my son? Still want to kill me alive? Li Youran's cold voice made Field shiver, not because of the ice water, the ice water had no effect on Field who had already woken up, and the fighting spirit had reached the sky level, and the cold and heat had not invaded, but Li Youran's voice and words made him break out in a cold sweat in an instant.
retracted his feet, stood in front of Li Youran awkwardly and said, "Master, I was wrong!" β
"Wrong? What's wrong? Li Youran pulled a chair from the side, sat down and said, waved his hand to the guards behind him, and pointed to the guests around him, obviously not wanting anyone to disturb them.
The guards understood, and immediately began to clear the field, the lord cleared the field, that is, many thorny mercenaries and adventurers also obediently retreated, the wine is delicious, but the small life is more important!
After a while, the tavern was silent, only the sound of the guards' breathing remained, and even when they heard their own breathing, they immediately tried to avoid making a sound, because now the lord is very silent, his own commander is also silent, and even the field knights are silent with their heads down, and the atmosphere is depressing.
"Why don't you speak? Now that you're dumb, the momentum just now is there, didn't you say you were wrong? Tell me what you're doing wrong. Li leisurely took a piece of wine, poured himself a glass, then gave Morton another glass, and said to Field as he drank the wine.
"Master, I was wrong for not being drunk, I really know it's wrong." Field shook his head, a little dazed, maybe he didn't know, but it was true that he was drunk and woken up, maybe the owner just didn't like him to drink the bar.
"It doesn't matter if you drink or not, it seems that you still don't understand, let me ask you, how many days have you not practiced swords? How many days have you not practiced riding? Where's your armor? Where is it? What about your sword? Where is it? Are you really still a knight? Li Youran would tap Field's chest every time he said a word, and every time it seemed to poke at Field's heart, it made his heart tingle, and at the end of the sentence, are you really still a knight? Finally, Field couldn't take it anymore! In the loudest voice, he replied: "Of course I am a knight, I was, am and will be!" β
Morton listened to Li Youran's questioning, and looked at Field very worriedly, but now when he heard Field's answer, he suddenly put his mind down, and secretly looked at Li Youran's face, and sure enough, his face had changed from a blue face just now to a slightly satisfied look, of course, Li Youran would not let Field pass the test so easily.
"Really? But what I saw was a drunkard! A bum! A coward who can't afford to lose! You bastard! Li Youran suddenly punched Field in the face, instantly knocking Field to the ground.
This punch frightened the guards behind, when will the lord be rough? Hasn't the lord always been a gentle image? The mage-sama's mysterious aura is completely shattered.
Morton was also startled at first, and was about to stop it, but as if he thought of something, he stopped.
"Bastard, you can't afford to lose! Have you ever thought about the orphans and widows at home? How worried are they, as the only man in the family, shouldn't you have a little more responsibility? After saying this, he immediately kicked again, kicking Field, who had just gotten up, out again.
After being kicked away, Field staggered to his feet with a guilty face, he had indeed forgotten about the people of the family, the women who saw him as the hope of the family.
"As a knight, it's not terrible to lose, what is terrible is that you don't dare to face it, what is the shame of losing to a holy rank! Has your pride made my hard work in vain? Don't forget that your life is mine! Before I give up on you, you have to cheer yourself up all the time! Give me some reflection! β
Li Youran said as he walked, and when he got to Field's side, he kicked out again, but this time Field was still kicked away, knocked over a few seats, and insisted on getting up, and there was already blood foaming in his mouth.
The halfling looked like he was crying and mourning, looking at the half-destroyed tavern, his heart was dripping blood, these were his hard work! has silently blacklisted Field as an undesirable person in his heart.
"Do you know how much I expect from you! It's just a holy order, and if you lose, you have infinite possibilities, but you're sad and decadent for a holy order! What a waste of my treasure! Holy Steps? You should take a more long-term view, the Divine Rank is the beginning, and the Divine Rank is just a stepping stone! (To be continued......)
