Chapter 17: The Past and the Little Brother
It's been more than ten days since the trial in the snow, and today is January 17, 848.
On this day, after Wren got up, he washed up slowly, had a hasty breakfast, and tidied up his room in the dormitory.
There are only three people left in the whole quadruple dormitory, and it is already on vacation, and there are 15 days of vacation in mid-to-late January, and many people have gone home, and Thomas has already left yesterday, going back to his hometown of Toloster.
Alan and Amin didn't know where to go, Wren cleaned the room, and inadvertently took out a book, a knight novel, and once saw the goddess Herista reading, he borrowed it, he used to be a knight, and he was curious about what the knight novels in this world would write.
He was a little disappointed after reading it, to be honest, the story was very vulgar.
The general content of the book is: The princess who went out to play was in distress, and someone wanted to kidnap her, so the princess asked a maid to pretend to be her, and she took another way to secretly return to the palace. The fake princess was soon kidnapped, at this time, a handsome and dashing aristocratic knight rescued the fake princess and fell in love with her, and when the knight escorted the fake princess back to the palace, he found that the real princess had returned safely, and then the knight knew that he was not in love with the real princess, but the knight still asked the real princess to marry the fake princess, that is, the princess's maid, to him. The real princess agreed, and blessed them. Then the knight and the false princess got married and had children, and lived happily ever after, and the book ends.
This knightly novel is beautifully written, the theme is romantic, and it quickly became popular in the world inside the walls.
The author of the chivalric novel is very clever in that he also strongly praises the real princess in the book for being unruly, gentle and intelligent, kind and generous, and deliberately downplaying the behavior of the real princess to let the maid be cannon fodder, so the book is not restricted by the nobles within the wall.
Wren was full of disdain after reading it, he didn't think the story was bloody, he had read it all. It's hard to say about the knights of other worlds, most of the knights of the otherworldly continent he crossed last time were from civilian backgrounds, because even if the children of noble families were detected with knightly talent, their parents generally would not send their children to the border knights with a high mortality rate.
But there are exceptions, Wren is named Karen Reinhardt in the Otherworldly Continent, and graduated from the Royal Knight Academy in the White Tower City on the border of the Kahlan Empire.
After becoming an official knight, he joined the Knights of Thorns, one of the 20 knights on the border, and was appreciated by the commander Gray Douglas for his outstanding performance in several battles, and took him as his guard to train him.
Captain Gray, who was in a bad mood at one point, drank with him.
Captain Gray took a sip of wine and said with a look of vicissitudes: "Karen, do you know the head of the Rose Knights?" ”
"You know, it's a female knight, it seems to be some princess of the empire!" Karen, who was then Wren, replied.
"Her name is Karin, she is a knight at the same time as me, she is very beautiful, I pursued her, but failed, and today she is married." Captain Gray, who has blonde hair and a sexy mustache on his face, looks depressed.
Karen said cautiously: "Why did you fail, why didn't she take a fancy to you if you were so good?" ”
Gray said expressionlessly, "Because I didn't hit her, she knocked her over with her fist!" She said that those who couldn't beat her were not worthy of marrying her! ”
Karen was a little puzzled: "Then someone has beaten her now?" ”
Gray shook his head: "No, none of her suitors have been able to beat her in hand-to-hand combat, so today she got married and married three husbands!" ”
"Poof! Cough...... Ahem! Karen took a sip of wine from her mouth, and her glass fell to the ground.
Karen was choked, looked at Captain Gray, felt that there were three green lights on his head, and said with a little sympathy: "Commander, you mourn, not marrying you is her loss...... Ahem! If she doesn't marry you, she's blind! ”
Captain Gray cleaned up his mood: "It's okay, I've already decided, I want to marry three wives!" ”
Karen's eyes were a little disdainful when she heard this: "So, very good!" Good kidneys! ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, but your eyes betray you!" Gray laughed evilly, picked up a fist the size of a sandbag and beat Karen, little sample, dare to look down on your captain!
Wren shook his head, how could he think of this, sure enough, when he was alone, he loved to think crankily.
Put this knightly novel away and return it to Khrista someday. What real princesses, fake princesses, noble knights, heroes save beauty, it's all! The real princess should use her fists to overturn the kidnappers and marry three noble knights as husbands!
Wren: Trash novels ruined my youth.
Wren tidied up and cleaned the room, ready to go out to breathe, the snow had just melted, except for those evergreen trees and shrubs, many places were desolate and withered, but fortunately, the sun diluted a little bleak, and the air was very fresh.
Wren walked to the woodland at the front exit of the training corps station, ready to take a walk.
While Wren was wandering leisurely in the woods, he heard someone call out to him.
"Wren...... Can you talk about it? A slightly hesitant voice sounded.
Wren turned his head to see an unknown male trainer sitting under a cedar and shouting at him.
It's a pity that it's not a pretty girl, Wren has some regrets in his heart, but he still walks over and listens to what he has to say.
"Is there something wrong with me?" Wren asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that I want to practice the three-dimensional maneuver with you, please, I won't waste much of your time."
Wren is not a virgin, nor is he an emotionless killer who doesn't mind doing a good deed.
"When the vacation is over, you can practice with me for two months, and it's up to you how much you can learn."
The trainer was a little excited: "Thank you, by the way, my name is Neil Gate. ”
Wren nodded, sat next to Neil, and asked with a little curiosity, "What are you trying to practice the three-dimensional maneuvering device for?" Join the Gendarmerie Corps? ”
Neil shook his head: "I want to join the Survey Corps, I work hard to practice the three-dimensional maneuvering device, hoping to avenge my father." It's just that maybe I'm too stupid to even get into the top 100 when I usually test. ”
Neil's tone was full of hatred and reluctance, and Wren listened to his account and gradually understood his experience.
Neil Lot's mother died of illness at an early age, and like Wren, he was raised by his father, who, like Alan, came from the Urn City of the Wall of Mary, the district of Sigansina, where it first fell, but Neil was relatively lucky that his father escaped with him.
But then there was not enough food in Rossy's Wall, and his father was forced to participate in the first battle to recapture the Wall of Mary three years ago, which was a war to the death, and the battle launched by Wang Zheng to alleviate the food and land crisis ended up with only more than 100 people surviving, and Neil's father was obviously not one of them.
Neil not only hates giants, but even hates Wang Zheng, he picked up stones and pulled weeds two years later and reported after hearing the conscription information, he trained very hard, but maybe he really has no talent, or he is not the protagonist or supporting role, his training results have always been ranked in the middle of the whole group, he didn't even dare to say that he wanted to join the survey corps, he was afraid that everyone would laugh at him.
After all, his fellow countryman Alan is already quite powerful, ranking in the top 20 in the corps, and he is still improving, but even so, Jean Kirchstein is not the only one who laughs at Allen, let alone a guy with average grades.
Neil also thought about asking Alan to help train him, but Alan was very busy, and while he was training hard, he helped Armin and had to deal with Mikasa. So he plucked up the courage to ask Wren to help train him today, because he heard that Wren seemed to be joining the Survey Corps as well.
Wren agreed, and he did it easily, and it didn't bother, so he should save character.
When Wren returned to the dormitory, he was a little emotional, Neil was not even a trick in the original book, it was just a background board, he had never heard of this name at all, but it didn't mean that there was no such person.
Neil and Allen's experiences are somewhat similar, but he doesn't have any aura, and he's not a time-traveler, but he's still the protagonist in his life, his hatred, his unwillingness, and the sweat of his hard training are all real.
Wren was in a good mood when he went back, and today he took in a little brother, Neil expressed his gratitude to Wren for his help and called him big brother.
Wren had always wanted to accept Thomas as his younger brother, but Thomas was highly motivated, saying that he would study hard in the future and strive to catch up with Wren in his grades, and then accept Wren as his younger brother.
Humming a song, he returned to the dormitory and began to practice the "eighth set of martial arts", listening to his fellow villager Sasha say that Mikasa insisted on practicing boxing every day, which was quite brutal.
Wren felt that he didn't have Long Aotian's destiny and couldn't open a harem, but now he was a big brother again, and he couldn't be compared to a woman.
Not only the fighting technique, but also the use of three-dimensional mobile devices, the 'Whirlwind Little Spinning Top' has to be perfected.
Practice hard now, so that you won't have to be hammered in the future.
