Chapter 299: Little Apprentice Blake and Departure
"Good day, Your Royal Highness the Prince."
"Big Brother"
"I took the liberty of interrupting me."
"No, no."
…
Prince Ward came to the front yard with little Blake, and happened to meet Richard and Messiah, the two sides symbolically said hello, Messiah was a little unable to let go in front of the eldest prince, and did not stick to Richard all the time, but reached out to say hello to the eldest prince, the Charman family's Gu raising mode made the whole family relatively indifferent, and Messiah was not too familiar with the eldest prince, so he could say hello when he met now.
"This is little Blake, and then I will ask my brother-in-law to salute the teacher."
"Hello teacher."
Although little Blake is just a teenager, but the etiquette is decent, Richard is not polite this time, standing and receiving a salute, the relationship between master and apprentice in this world is quite close, if the civilian class hands over the child to a master, it is almost the power of life and death to the other party, sometimes this connection will be closer than the relationship between father and son.
After raising his head after a long salute by little Blake, Richard carefully observed the young man in front of him.
Little Blake is also the standard appearance of the men of the Charman family, wearing a dark aristocratic robe, although he is young, he is not as active as he should be at this age, and he looks heavy and majestic.
"Hmm"
Richard nodded.
"There is no preparation this time, when I return to the Northland, I will make up for the meeting gift, we will leave for the Northland in two days, you go back and prepare first."
"No need, Blake's things have already been brought, and I'm just going to deal with military affairs in the past two days, so let Blake get used to it here for two days."
Richard thought for a while and nodded in agreement, these two days are just to see the heart of this apprentice, although he was forced to accept it, but the basic responsibility is still to be borne.
After a few words of greeting, Ward seemed to really have something important, and soon left the Hou Mansion, leaving Blake only in the Hou Mansion.
Charman's group of guys is harder than the other, and fortunately Richard did not have the intention of participating in the kingdom to seize the heir, otherwise it would be really difficult to choose, and the rest of the people don't understand it, just choosing a Richard between the fourth prince Parley and the eldest prince Ward will feel embarrassed, both of them are the face of the people, but the eldest prince first laid out the military power, and the fourth prince accumulated economic power.
"I'll take little Blake to settle down first."
No matter how strong and precocious little Blake is, he is still a little helpless when left alone in an unfamiliar environment.
Although Richard has never had the experience of taking care of children's emotions, he has never had the experience of taking care of children's emotions, and there is no arrangement for a few words of casual advice, at this time the Messiah, who is Blake's aunt, stood up first, and took him to settle down first, hearing the Messiah's words, Blake found the backbone, he has been in a nervous mood, and quickly ran to the Messiah, for him, even Richard, the teacher, is actually a stranger, only the Messiah, is considered to be an "acquaintance" who will meet several times a year.
"Well, it's up to you to arrange him in life."
Richard himself couldn't handle such small details, and it seemed a bit perfunctory to throw them directly to the servants, and it was a good thing that the Messiah could share some of them.
"But remember to go to bed early at night and train with me in the morning from tomorrow."
"Yes, Teacher!"
Hearing Richard's command, Blake reacted very much, as if he had received some military training, and this response was particularly loud, which made the Messiah startled.
Very good, very spiritual, seems to be a manufacturable material.
With a wave of his hand, Richard motioned for the Messiah to take him to settle down first, while he returned to his office and took care of the day's business.
…
Half a month later
In the valley, a team of several hundred people is marching, this team is not very numerous, but if you have any ideas, you can beat all the garrisons in the city of Bolai at this time.
"Richard, are we coming?"
Messiah poked her head out of the gorgeous carriage and asked, Half a month of travel, even if Messiah's physique is not bad, she can't help but be a little tired.
"The front is Bolai City, today we will go into the city to rest for one night, this week out of Zhenbei Pass, we will soon be able to reach Tiemu City."
There were more people in the team than when they went, not only Messiah and Blake, but also more than fifty knights and a big knight who wanted to join Richard, most of these people were landless knights from bad backgrounds, or the second sons of aristocratic families, and there were brothers in the family who had advanced knights, and they had no inheritance rights to come out to fight for wealth like the civilian knights.
A top marquis of real power like Richard, although the fief is farther away, but its own aura is stronger, and it has gradually become the main target of these knights, and the icing on the cake is always more than the people who send charcoal in the snow, this time after Richard showed his strength in the royal capital, Richard gained a group of subordinates, if it wasn't for the fact that the north was really far away, this number could even be doubled.
"Little Blake, if you're tired, get into the carriage and sit for a while, don't ride all the time."
Turning his head, Richard looked at Blake, who was a little stubborn, and said.
He doesn't have the concept of a strict teacher, and in his eyes, a twelve-year-old person can only be regarded as a little child, but people in this era are a little precocious.
Riding a horse for a long time is actually quite physically exhausting, this time, in the team, except for Messiah and Blake, there is no ordinary person at all, even the coachman who drives the horse for Messiah is a good knight, and it is not difficult for them to ride a horse for half a month.
But little Blake is different, although he received early training, but due to age restrictions, he has not yet fully developed, and in terms of physical fitness, he is definitely not as good as these knights, and he has been gritting his teeth for at least so long and he is already visibly tired.
"Teacher, I can still hold on, those soldiers wearing heavy armor didn't shout tired all the way on foot, how can I be tired on horseback."
Richard knew that little Blake was talking about the group of crusaders led by Ron, who wore heavy armor all the way and walked, and in the eyes of others, this physical strength was ridiculously good, especially the newly recruited knights, many of whom had military experience, and could know the power of this.
Richard didn't know how to explain it, this group of crusaders were all knight-level masters, and they had Richard's skills and treasure bonuses, this kind of march could really only be said to be trivial, poor Blake took them as a comparison object, it was really inappropriate.
Fortunately, the city of Bolai is not far away, and he can enter the city to rest today, otherwise Richard is really afraid that little Blake will be tired.
"Hurry up and spend the night in the city of Bray tonight."
"Yes!"
