Section 36 Father's Reputation
He hadn't seen sunlight for years, and Robit was so uncomfortable when he came to the ground that the bright light made him unable to open his eyes, and Robit hurriedly raised his hand to cover his eyes. Seeing this, Deran immediately turned around and ordered the guards to tear down the curtains on the doors and windows to block the light outside, and the hall became very dim, and Robit slowly put down his hand.
Candles were slowly lit in the hall, and plates of beef and mutton, a large pot of wine, and many other foods were served in turn.
Because Phyllis had a lot to do, he turned around and took his leave after settling in for the drink, and took Deran with him to help.
The former royal brothers gathered together, and the three of them talked and chatted, and the past surfaced one by one. Cook was very excited, and told Robit everything about the Duke's Palace in the past nine years.
Robit didn't care much about the Duke's Palace, but asked, "What about Brother Jombus, isn't he with you?" ”
The mention of Jombus immediately reminded Cook of the royal capital, and the tragic situation of the royal capital a few days ago, which made Cook a momentary terrier. Miller, however, was in a calm mood, and replied, "The king's capital had fallen three days ago, and the Jombus brothers may have ......."
At this point, Miller couldn't continue, because he suddenly felt a choking in his throat, and he couldn't say those words.
Robit nodded, sighed slowly, and said, "Yuguan and the king have fallen, and I have heard about the king and my father who died in battle, and every year there will be guards lying in front of the window to tell me about the great affairs of the kingdom. So, my sister Mary didn't make it out alive either? ”
Faced with Robitt's question, Cook and Miller looked at each other, and they didn't know anything about it. The barbarians slaughtered the royal capital, and only after the barbarians surrounded the royal capital, no one of the Knights left there alive, and it is clear that Mary should have been killed in the royal capital.
Then Deran suddenly returned to the hall, followed by a young man, who led the young man to the table with a roar, and said to Robitt, "Robit, this young man named Carter, when the barbarians slaughtered the city, he may know something about your sister Mary. ”
Robitt's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly turned to look at Carter, and asked seriously, "Do you know my sister Mary?" ”
Carter shook his head and replied, "I don't know, but the people in our village are the corpse that is Miss Mary of the First Duke's Palace." ”
"Corpses?" , Cook and Miller exclaimed at the same time.
These two words made Robit's heart tremble, tears wet his eyes, and grief and anger made his whole body tremble slightly.
Miller asked Carter and said, "Tell us what you know, from beginning to end." ”
"Okay." Carter described: "I was playing by the river that day, and suddenly I saw a sister jumping off the wall at the top of the cliff. Then I saw the heads of many barbarians appear on the walls, and they looked at the sister who jumped off the cliff. The sister was dressed so beautifully, and she always held a long sword with a golden scabbard in her hand. I remember that there was a red ribbon on the handle of the long sword, and it fluttered and fluttered, so I was very impressed. ”
Cook and Miller exclaimed at the same time, "Red Ribbon Hero? ”
The two stared at each other, and Miller preemptively said, "Isn't this the saber of the Red Ribbon Hero?" ”
Carter shook his head and continued, "I don't know. Later, I saw with my own eyes that the sister slammed into the river, and then sank with the sword. I was terrified and immediately went back to the village to call for someone. Everyone in the village went to the river, and together they went down to the river to save the sister and touch the sword. But the current was so strong that nothing was touched, and it was not until the sister's body surfaced that the villagers carried her ashore. Later, her name was found on the necklace around her neck, as well as the coat of arms of the First Duke's Palace. In this way, we know that she is Miss Mary of the First Duke's Palace. ”
Cook asked eagerly, "What about the aftermath, what did you do with the corpse?" ”
Carter replied, "Then the villagers buried her at the entrance of the village, on the dirt slope behind the three big trees at the entrance of the village. ”
Hearing this, Miller analyzed: "If the longsword with the red ribbon is related to Mary, I can surmise that this longsword should be Alto's side sword. If I'm not mistaken, Luo Khan's red ribbon hero should be Alto. ”
Robit took a sip of wine, he wiped away a handful of tears, and replied casually: "It should be so, my sister has always liked Alto, and jumped off the cliff with Alto's sword, which is very in line with my sister's stubborn character." ”
But Miller reminded Robitt and said, "Brother Robit, why don't you care about that red ribbon sword, it's entirely possible that it's your father's Connor's sword." ”
"What?" Robit was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Miller with stunned eyes.
Miller didn't speak, but Cook explained, "Since you left, Uncle Connor has been very disappointed with the performance of Arashiyama and Regis. Uncle Conner feared that the reputation of the Duke's palace would be in jeopardy, so he pinned his hopes on Alto and acquiesced in Sister Mary's love affair with Alto. Later, when the war in the kingdom became tight, Alto joined the army in order to make a contribution, and it was at that time that Uncle Connor gave Alto his beloved sword. ”
The First Duke's Court had three brothers, and as a result, all three of them were discouraged, and the father could only hope for the servant's beloved son. There is also the sword of Connor that represents the First Duke's Palace, this sword has accompanied Connor all his life, and it can be said that it is the glorious sword of the First Duke's Palace, but it turned out to be inherited by an outsider. As a descendant of the Duke's Palace, what a mockery of this.
Thinking of this, Robit closed his eyes in pain, and the pain in his heart was like a knife.
After listening to Cook's words, Delan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Connor's Sword is not an ordinary long sword, it is made of Fengdu's special black ore. The production of black ore is very scarce, and it would take a hundred years to collect those black ores to forge one such sword. There are only four such knightly swords in our kingdom, and Connor's Sword is in second place. ”
Miller looked very interested after hearing this, and he asked curiously, "What is the name of the sword that is ranked first?" ”
Deran smiled and said, "The first in line is of course the sword of the god of war Knight, which is now the sword of the king." The knight's sword of the First Duke's Palace was given by Robit's ancestor by the former king of the royal capital, and has been passed down from generation to generation in the First Duke's Palace. In third place is the Sword of King Luo Khan, this knight's sword was originally the head of the Holy Knights of Fengdu during the Sixteen Kingdoms, because it was the Paladins army of Fengdu who drove away the tribesmen who invaded the royal capital. This sword symbolized the great army of the kingdom, so it changed hands many times and finally fell into the hands of King Luo Khan. In fourth place is the Sword of Cologne, the last to be crafted and handed down by the ancestors of the Cologne family. ”
After listening to this, Miller analyzed: "According to this, the sword of the king and the sword of the king of Luo Khan must now be in the hands of the Tubis. Connor's sword fell into the river again and can't be recovered, so we're only left with the last Cologne sword? ”
Deran sighed again and again, "Yes." It is a pity that such a precious knight's sword, which represents the glory of the First Duke's Mansion for generations, should be lost in the West Crystal River. ”
Hearing Deran say this, Robit suddenly stood up, and he said coldly, "It's about the glory of my father and ancestors, I can't let Connor's sword lie in the river like that." ”
Cook was shocked and hurriedly persuaded Robit: "Big brother Robit, don't be impulsive. Now that the territory of Riesburg has fallen, let alone the royal capital, there are barbarians everywhere along the way, and it is too dangerous for you to rush back like this. Moreover, the Nasinite River is wide, the water depth is bottomless, and the current speed is also very large, and if you look for a sword like this, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is impossible to find it at all. ”
Miller chimed in: "yes, big brother Robit, Cook is not wrong at all. We hurried to Ritunburg to rescue you and go to Dragon City together. Don't be presumptuous, let's go to Dragon City and have a round with Lord Thatcher, Dragon City is the only hope for our Knights. ”
While Miller and Cook made a point, it didn't change Robitt's decision. He frowned slightly, and replied coldly, "As the only descendant of the First Duke's Palace, I have the duty to maintain the glory of our Duke's Palace. ”
After speaking, Robit reached out and patted Cook and Miller on the shoulders, and said seriously: "Two brothers, please rest assured, I, Robit, am not a person who drills the horns of the bull; I'm going to try to find my father's sword, at least I'm worthy of my father's spirit in the sky. But if I really can't find it, then I will rush to Dragon City to fight you as soon as possible. I, Robit, never lie to my brother, and promise to do what I say and never break my word! ”
Hearing Robit's promise, they didn't want to say anything more, so they had to nod silently in agreement.
In the evening, Cook and Miller rode Robit far away, and it was not until they entered the dense woods to the west that they reluctantly parted ways with Robit.
Watching Robitt leave, Cook and Miller stared for a long time, until Robit disappeared around the corner, and then the two rode back.
"Cook, do you think Robid can get the sword back?"
Cook looked up at the sky slightly, and replied expressionlessly: "I don't know, I hope that Uncle Connor's Heavenly Spirit can bless him and bless him to return to Dragon City safely, now he is the only one left in the First Duke's Palace, but there must be no mistakes." ”
Miller nodded slightly, and didn't ask anything more.
