Chapter 117: Send Back (Ask for Subscription, Ask for Monthly Pass)
"Captain Harris, I heard that many women and children were rescued this time, you have made a great contribution this time, after you go back, you will definitely be promoted, then I will congratulate you in advance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info "Soram saw that Timo was messing around and treating the wounded soldiers, and turned his head to congratulate Harris.
In Solam's opinion, Harris has definitely made a great contribution, after all, Harris has cracked such a trafficking group and rescued so many people again, what's the matter, the city hall has to be done by an official.
But Harris listened to Solam's words, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's so beautiful for you to help me think, how can it be so easy, at most it is to give a bonus and get promoted?" Don't even think about it. ”
"Why is that? You've saved more than 30 women and children, and that's not a credit? ”
"The credit is big enough, but it's all false, I'm just a commoner, and my ancestors have never been a nobleman for eight generations, not even a nobleman's blood, I can be a security captain, I have already turned my head, and I want to go up, unless I can become a nobleman, even if I am a knight." Harris said helplessly.
"Is that okay?" Solam thinks this system is too weird, just because of a background, he can't even be promoted?
"What's wrong with this, it's like this everywhere, civilians want to be officials? Dream on. "Harris doesn't have any grievances, after all, the world is like this, even if it is uneven, it is useless.
"It's so unfair, isn't it, you have made such a big contribution, and you will give some money?" Solam thinks this thing is too fucked, it's all done like this, who will work hard, so no future, who will run to sell their lives for those people when they are full.
According to Solam, it is, "Whoever loves to be this bird official!" ”
Harris was also a little moved to see Soram so upset about himself, although he had accepted such a setting, it didn't mean that he liked it, and of course he was happy that someone could complain about himself.
"Actually, you don't have to complain about me, if it's unfair, wouldn't Lord Cruise be even worse? Do you know how long he was a sheriff? ”
"For how long?"
"Counting this year, it has been 20 years, with strong ability, high prestige, and countless meritorious contributions during the period, and he also has noble blood. But now, it's not the same as standing still, you say it's wronged or not. Harris's words were still very respectful of his boss.
"Holy!" Soram was really a little shocked, and even the swear words burst out.
At least as far as Soram is concerned, after 20 years in a position, he has not been promoted, so this official is too boring. "Then what's the use of Lord Cruise being this bird officer, if it were me, why don't you do it a long time ago, it's better to do something than this."
"How could it be useless? That's a qualification. ”
"Is it useful to have this qualification if you can't be promoted?"
"Of course it's useful, these qualifications are quite useful, with such good qualifications, it's easy to be favored by some big nobles or the royal family, and when the time comes, you can mix it up with a lord's title, and then you will become a nobleman." It's really not good, that's okay, paving the way for your own children and grandchildren, for example, Lord Cruise's two sons are both knights in the family of an earl, and in time they can become a feudal knight, which is also a noble. Speaking of this, Harris's face was full of longing and envy.
The title of knight does not simply refer to the profession, the lowest title among the nobles is the knight, but it is also a nobleman, it is a serious and territorial person, although it may be a small manor, this is the feudal knight.
Moreover, don't think that your profession is a knight, you can become a feudal knight, the orthodox feudal knights are divided by nobles, and it is difficult for those knights to get the nobles. Only by being a knight squire in a noble family for a few years and establishing a good relationship and trust with the nobles can you get a feud, after all, domestic is better than wild, and you can rest assured.
And the aristocratic family recruits knight squires, not everyone can go up, the aristocracy, to pay attention to a forced style, how can that kind of vulgar mud leg enter the aristocratic family?
Therefore, they are usually selected from the knight family or those who have high prestige and seniority. At this time, those qualifications are useful, and other nobles look at it, yo, your father has been able to serve as a sheriff for so many years, and he has made many meritorious contributions. Of course, others are willing to choose this kind of person, at least it means that you have a good education.
In fact, there is another reason, Harris did not tell Solam. That is, don't look at Cruise has been a petty official for many years, but he has a lot of income. Even if Cruise is a decent person, he doesn't scrape the ground much, but the annual filial piety and gray income in the open and secret are definitely not a small number.
And the city hall also knows that Cruise can't be promoted anymore, and he also turns a blind eye to his money-making behavior, as long as it's not too much, no one cares, he has no room to rise, you don't let people make some extra money, then don't let people live. And to train the next generation, how can you do it without money.
It costs money to learn knowledge, it costs money to learn etiquette, to have a good body, you have to eat well, it also costs money, it costs money to learn martial arts, it costs money, and it costs money to prepare equipment and buy horses, which still costs money, and this money is not a small amount. If Cruise didn't deserve to be the sheriff, where would he get so much money?
While they were chatting, the other side was almost cleaned up, and a member of the security team ran over to report the situation to Harris.
"Captain, I have found out, those people are indeed the ones who have disappeared recently, most of them are in a coma now, only a few people are slightly awake, but they are also dazed. What do we do next? When the report was made, the vigilante looked very happy.
Of course I'm happy, this business trip, caught so many thieves, and saved so many people, not to mention the reward after I go back, the reward is absolutely indispensable. Not to mention, they fought more with less, and they won so smoothly that some of them blew it after they went back.
"What else can be done, just let them stay in the carriage first, and we will drive the carriage back together, and as for those scum, tie them with ropes and eat ashes behind the carriage." Harris waved his hand indifferently and handed over to his subordinates.
"Captain Harris, we want to go first, and by the way, take Shirley, Alice is still waiting for news in the temple, she should be crazy at this time." Soram felt that it was better to go first, after all, with a carriage, the speed of this group would not be very fast, so it was better for them to go first.
Harris naturally had no opinion, so Soram pulled a fur coat from those scumbags, wrapped Shirley in his arms, and galloped towards Locke Town with Mares.
This little guy slept to death the whole time, this drug is really useful, in fact, Solam hates children crying, it's good to fall asleep like this, just a little and no trouble.
Because they wanted to deliver Shirley to Alice as soon as possible, the speed of the crowd was quite fast, and in less than half an hour, a group of people were already standing at the door of the temple.
As soon as Soram and the others dismounted, Alice had already rushed out of the temple, and Bishop Fia and Christie followed, they had been watching the movement outside, and they knew it as soon as Soram returned.
"Shirley! Where is her daughter! Shirley! "Alice is in a very bad state right now, her hair is disheveled, her eyes are swollen, she looks like a madman, and she screams as soon as she runs out.
"Here, Shirley here, she's fine, she's asleep." When Soram saw this scene, he dared to hesitate, and hurriedly showed the girl in his arms to Alice.
As soon as Alice saw Shirley wrapped in a coat, she snatched the child from Solam's hand and hugged the child, constantly touching the child gently with her hand, and then began to cry quietly.
"Shirley, my child, mom is sorry for you, it's mom who doesn't take a good look at you, and mom will never be in the future."
Seeing this scene, the women at the scene began to secretly wipe away tears, and Maris and Teemo also had red eyes, only Soram and Sim seemed heartless and didn't feel anything.
In fact, to say that Soram was not moved, it is false, but to say that it really moved to tears, Soram can't do it, after all, people have returned, where did so much sentimentality come from. Thinking of this, Soram felt that he was too heartless, such a touching scene, but Soram was like watching TV, and there was no sense of involvement.
Thinking about it carefully, Soram still feels that he should still not really see himself as a member of this world. Always with a very strange sense of alienation, as if there is something in the layer, always unconsciously withdraw myself from it, and I can't empathize with the people and things here.
Solam didn't know if this feeling was good or bad, but there was no one to talk to and discuss, and he couldn't tell anyone that he was from another world. I don't know if other traversers feel this way.
After Alice cried for a while, she finally began to return to normal, and her mental state was much better, at least she didn't give people that crazy feeling anymore, although there were tears in her eyes, her eyes were much calmer.
"Thank you, Solam, thank you, thank you." Alice didn't know what to say to Soram to express her gratitude, so she could only hug Shirley and keep saying thank you.
This made Solam a little embarrassed, because he didn't know what to say, but at this time, Christie came out to relieve the siege, "I think the most important thing now is to see Shirley's condition, after being in a coma for so long, I don't know if there will be any bad effects." ”
As soon as Alice heard this, she immediately became nervous again, after all, nothing was as important as her daughter, so she hurriedly carried Shirley to the temple.
