Chapter 11: Departure
It was already noon when Roy woke up, and although he wasn't hungry, he was still trying to get himself to eat a little, and he was about to make an escape plan, but there was not much time for people to eat quietly.
Lelia specially brought a set of armor for Roy, which was specially made for Roy, the armor surface was smooth and bright, it can be seen that it was usually well maintained, a cloak was buckled at the shoulder, and a delicate long sword was hung on Roy's waist, although Roy had no talent, but the swordsmanship he learned was still relatively solid.
The efficiency of the castle servants was very fast, and the food, clothing and other supplies had been filled with three horned camel carts, and Reeuyce specially vacated half of the cart's place, hid some gold coins, and escaped with this group of people, if they successfully reached Engels City, these gold coins could at least allow many people to live safely until autumn.
Quinhardt's central square, although it is a square, but the facilities are extremely simple, more like a relatively large open space, every year in the celebration of the harvest, the old earl will pay for those foreign troupes to set up a stage in the square, sing the popular plays and music in the big city, that day, almost all the Quinhardt people will go to the square to watch.
When Roy arrived in the square, there were already some of the lords, carrying a fairly large burden, and they were standing on the square with their families, their packages were not large, and Jones's knights had already told them not to carry anything too heavy.
Lelia ordered his servants to place a chair in the center of the stage, invited Roy to sit down, and stood motionless behind him.
Roy looked at the crowd with cold eyes, people were slowly gathering from all sides of the square, and Jones's knights were constantly riding in and out, leading more people to the square.
Countless people gathered in the square, looking up at Roy sitting on the platform.
Roy's mood was a little heavy at this time, this was not the pile of emotionless data in the game, there was a bunch of living people in front of him, injuries would be painful, and death would be sad.
Knight Jones walked up from the side of the stage, knelt down on one knee in front of Roy, and said, "I've seen Young Master Roy, the entire Quinhardt's people have gathered here, some uncooperative guys, we tied them up to the horned camel convoy, waiting for your order." ”
Roy didn't let Jones stand up, he sat in his chair and asked, "How many people are there in the whole Quinnhardt?" "He desperately needed to know the current state of Quinnhardt's containers.
Jones replied: "Back to the young master, there are 1,029 people in Quinnhardt, including 619 adults, 156 old people and 254 children, 69 knights in the Knights, 108 knights, and 37 servants in the castle, a total of 1,243 people. ”
Roy's eyes swept to the crowd below, the lives of more than a thousand people are now carried on his shoulders, as long as it is his own negligence, these living people will become white bones all over the ground, Roy took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to stand up, looked at the crowd below and said: "I, Roy. Vicente, the only son of Count Vicente, who had no talent and achieved nothing, is no longer the same, and I received a divine revelation in my dreams, and the gods have given me the ability to perceive the light. ”
Roy said, he stretched out his right hand, and the runi script called light on the back of his right hand spun rapidly, and each corner of the twelve-pointed star lit up in turn, and a bright golden light fell from the sky and shone on Roy's body.
All spellcasters are beyond mortals in the use of energy, through years of research, they can arbitrarily transform the way energy appears, distort the form of magic, and even some high-level spellcasters, even can perceive the origin of magic, to dial the magic rules hidden in the sky and generate the corresponding spells, legend has it that the dragon magic possessed by the rainbow dragon is the magic that can directly manipulate the magic rules, so that it has great power of magic, also known as silk string magic by mortals.
Although Roy couldn't match these research-intensive spellcasters in terms of spell-casting experience, the Runi script in his hand allowed him to use these energies like fingers, and it was so easy to create a curtain of light to shine on his body.
The voices of the people in the audience were louder, they all knew that the old earl's only son was a waste man without any talent, and when the Knights came to convey Roy's plan in the morning, they were still a little suspicious, thinking that it was Roy's imagination.
But now, Roy has unleashed a spell in front of them, which is tantamount to shattering the little illusion left in their minds, Roy has indeed gained power, and what the gods have shown him is true?
Seeing the noisy people in the audience, Lelia behind Roy took a breath and shouted loudly, "Quiet! ”
Lelia's voice was so loud that it instantly overwhelmed the bustling crowd in the square, and the scene slowly quieted down.
Roy looked at Lyria behind him, and for the first time, he found that Lyria, who had served around since he was a child, was also a professional, and this voice could only be mastered by someone who had successfully entered the warrior profession and cultivated his strength.
"Maybe some of you are still suspicious of what happened to me, but that's not important, I could have run away with my knight on my own, but I didn't want that, I saw Quinhart's future clearly in the revelation, so I wanted to run away with you."
"It's not that we don't have the courage to resist the invaders, it's just that the gods have given me guidance in my revelation, if we continue to fight here, the only end is to become one of those monsters, waving their weapons at their own people, I don't want that, I don't want you to die senselessly, those damned monsters will desecrate your corpses so that you can't get real sleep, so I ask you to leave with me and escape from this land that has been warned by the goddess of fate."
Roy's eyes scanned everyone at the front desk, the gods had a huge influence among the commoners, many families had the habit of praying to the gods of their respective beliefs on fixed days, and in the name of the goddess of fate and the influence of the old earl in the territory, Roy could smoothly make the people believe in him.
As he spoke, Roy's right hand was raised, hammered heavily on the breastplate, and said, "I, Roy. Vicente swore that in this escape, he would lead the Knights to protect the safety of his people, shed his last drop of blood, and die until he died! ”
The knights guarding the stage in front of the stage hurriedly knelt on the ground, beat their armor vigorously with their hands, and shouted in unison: "Follow the will of the lord, we are willing to be with the lord until death!" May the flag of violet fly forever! ”
The crowd in the audience was a little boiling, they chanted Vicente's surname, praising Roy's kindness and virtue, there are too many selfish lords in this world, they believe that Roy would be much smoother if he escaped with the knights than with them, but Roy didn't, he chose to show the future he knew to the civilians, and fled with the civilians, this noble quality will really make the gods look sideways for him.
Looking at the crowd in the audience, Roy smiled, he took a deep breath, and said to Jones, who was kneeling on the side, "Let's go!" ”
