Chapter 52: The past is sad
The umpteenth time I was easily knocked to the ground by the bulls in two turns, one of the guards came up to me and told me that Khloe had offered to see me.
"If you don't remind me, I'll forget about him."
After tidying up my clothes, I nodded to the bull: "You continue to train with your men, and it is inhumane, anyway, it is all for their good." ”
Finally, I had an excuse not to practice, and I began to stand and talk without backache, taking my money and taking my land, as long as you sweat a little and be humane.
Walking into the room where Kohler was being held, he was guarded by the dumb and blind guard, and I waved my hand to signal him to go out first, and this time I finally got a response from the child.
"You won." Kohler said to me weakly, his little face green with hunger and full of haggardness.
"Actually, I have discussed it with you before, but you don't cooperate, and I don't want to force you to comply in this way."
Watching a big living person being tortured into this bear by himself, I couldn't raise my head with a little guilt, the trick was damaged, but I didn't expect it to be such a consequence at all, I hadn't even hurt an ant before.
"You must know that such a powerful archery technique as yours, once it is not used by me, it will be a threat to me wherever you go, and I will not let you go."
"I understand that sometimes people can't help themselves, and you are very merciful compared to those who destroy if you can't get it."
Khloe pursed the corners of his chapped mouth, "Can you give me a glass of water?" ”
I walked over to the table, filled the greasy wooden wine glass with the edges, and handed it to Kohler, who greedily drank the last drop of water from the glass, and then belched pleasantly, and then calmed his breath and said to me:
"Don't worry, I'm willing to join you, I won't do any conspiracy behind my back, I have seen my fate clearly, sooner or later I will be absorbed or killed by your nobles, why bother insisting? We make a verbal agreement to pay me a hundred gold coins for three years of service for you, and I will train a group of good archers for you before leaving, how about you set me free? ”
I licked my lips with my tongue uneasily, and it was really a little uncomfortable for my attitude to change so quickly, it was like a goddess who had been secretly masturbating for a long time, and suddenly died and wanted to be with you, and her motives were not pure!
I doubt that this kid has left some behind, and will snipe me to death while people are not paying attention, but I can't believe it easily.
"What? Don't trust me? ”
Kohler raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "You people really don't understand, people pull hard when they don't want to, people hesitate when they are willing, and the nobles are really indecisive straw bales." ”
"You go, I'll have someone prepare some travel expenses, which can be regarded as compensation for you."
I sat on the chair with my hands folded: "This has nothing to do with trust or distrust, I am different from other pampered nobles, I rely on my own step by step to accumulate military merits and tear the earth to be knighted, and I don't like to be strong." What I want to accept is not the body, it is a sincere heart that is willing to exchange, obviously you are not, there is an oriental proverb that says, a strong melon is not sweet, you are the melon, I force you to submit, you are no longer the person I want. ”
Okay, I admit that what I said is a bit high-sounding, but find a lofty step to let yourself go down, after all, the scene is better-looking, I can't say that I am afraid that you will kill me in the middle of the night or something, and I have no face, and I will have to eat on the rivers and lakes in the future, reputation is very important.
Khloe apparently didn't understand what I meant, and he asked me tentatively, "Are you telling the truth?" If I'm gone, I won't come back. ”
Is this a reminder that there is no such shop in this village? Idiot?
"Well, I've figured it out."
I swallowed and foamed, but nodded resolutely with difficulty: "You go, don't come back." ”
Is there blood crying in my heart! If you can't spit out a thousand words, is there any! Is there a swollen face and a fat person? There is suffering, you can't say that there is wood!
Kohler thought for a while and suddenly smiled: "Interesting, I'm sorry, I didn't use honorifics just now, Lord Viscount." It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that my past experiences make me dare not trust others, and your high demeanor has shown me what is the cultivation and temperament that a nobleman should have, and of course, I will retract what I have slandered you in the past. ”
If you want to leave and talk so much nonsense, you have to sell it cheaply, I snorted impatiently: "I'll let someone untie you, and it's almost a dry tofu roll after two days......"
"Your language is always so unexpected, and you are indeed a noble gentleman of great learning."
It is estimated that the news of his freedom resurrected him in a full state, and immediately changed back to the original form of chatter: "The misunderstanding of you is because of bad memories, I think you must be a good listener who is willing to listen......"
"Hehe, I'm busy, if you don't want to say it, I'm still ......"
"It doesn't matter, I'll make a long story short, I'll make sure I tell you about it."
Kohler interrupted me without saying anything, I could only sit down with a smile, don't ask me why I didn't just leave, I don't think this matter is over, just listen to his fairy tale first!
"My father was a very good hunter, and I learned my archery skills from him, and as long as the prey he was aiming at, none of them could leave the range alive."
"He has been living a carefree life in the mountains and forests, selling game for enough money to fill his stomach, sometimes going to the taverns in the market town for a beer or two, listening to the latest news, chatting about everyone's daily anecdotes, which can be regarded as adding a little wave to the backwater life."
"Then my father's archery skills gradually became famous, and many self-conceited archers with excellent archery skills came to challenge him, and he defeated them one by one, and the girls in the neighborhood regarded him as the lover of their dreams, and when he went to the market town, he showed off his charm to gain favor, but my father was unmoved, because he had a lover in his heart, and that was my mother, a maid of the ducal castle."
"But their status is too different to be together"
A Orion......
A maid ......
Is there a huge disparity in status?
As I sat yawning and listening to the story, I couldn't help but compare in my heart.
It seems that I will recruit a few more maids in the future, so as to improve the level of my lordship.
"The duke heard that his father's reputation wanted to recruit his father as his bodyguard, so he asked for a big job, but his father refused, his reason was the same as mine, the freedom we love is not something that money can measure, money is such a thing, it is good to be able to support yourself, and you will never be greedy when you are in moderation."
"The Duke was angry, but also frightened, and fearing that his father would be hired by the lord of the neighbouring realm and threaten him, sent someone to find out the details of my father, and thus learned of my parents' affair, so he despicably decided to take advantage of this."
"The duke changed the bargaining chips for the bribe, and he told his father that as long as he could serve his family, he could make an exception and marry his mother, and his father agreed without the slightest hesitation, because in his opinion, there is nothing more important in this world than his mother, but he didn't know that this seemingly simple decision was not only lost in love, but also in life......"
"The married life is very ordinary but also very happy, my birth has brought a lot of laughter to this family, everything seems to be perfect, but the nightmare is gradually approaching."
"That shameless duke has taken a fancy to his mother and wants to take her for himself, at this time, how rare a sharpshooter used to be for him, even if his father is his most relied on guard, but as long as it hinders the lord's indiscriminate use of power, his hands and feet must be chopped off!"
"He ordered his father to serve as the queen of the army in a battle, but only sent a few men to follow his father, and he promised that when the army was safely evacuated, he would order the herald to come back to report the news, and his father faithfully fulfilled his duty, but he paid for his precious life and a complete family."
"There is no doubt that the herald will never return, my father has been brutally murdered by the enemy after shooting the last arrow in his quiver, and my mother in grief has to face the duke's sin claws."
"I didn't know at that time that the duke threatened my mother with my life, and in order to protect her only son, my mother had to accept the reality in humiliation, but I didn't understand my mother's love for me, and thought it was a betrayal of my father, so I broke off the mother-son relationship with her at the age of twelve and left the green forest."
Soon after, the news came that her mother had committed suicide, and she had cut her throat with the knife her father had given her, which was the object of their love and the water of forgetting to wash away the shame. Knowing the truth, I hated the old duke but couldn't do anything, I was too weak, from that time on, I didn't have the slightest affection for the nobles, and vowed to avenge my parents, this is the only meaning of my life, I don't want to be bound, because then there will be no way to get revenge. ”
Kohler closed his eyes in agony, a tear running down his beard, and the grief was shocking.
"Now that my story is over and I've decided to stay, are you sure you still need me to serve you? If that's the case, you might be the enemy of the old duke in the story. ”
I walked over and put my hand on his shoulder, and said heartlessly: "It doesn't matter, whether it is in the future or in the future, whether it is the duke or the emperor, Germany will eventually belong to me alone, and you ...... It's my eyes! ”
