ACT66 Prejudice
The two didn't get along too long, and when Tlyn revealed his identity, Gross couldn't help but clench his fists and cough lightly twice-
He thought to himself, it turned out that this was actually the uncle of the logistics department, so his previous attitude seemed too disrespectful now!
It's no wonder that the Knights are so enthusiastic about Trin. In Elante's military sequence, the logistics department is in charge of the supply and replenishment of all kinds of materials, and for officers, some small actions of the logistics office are more sensitive than the orders of their superiors-
There is no way, hungry soldiers cannot fight, and sophisticated weapons and equipment also have an extremely important impact on the combat effectiveness of a force.
Complain?
It has to be justified for a sufficient, defensible reason.
Like procrastination? It always takes a certain amount of time to transfer materials, right? The uncles of the logistics department could tell the officers with red faces and thick necks that because of the heavy rain and muddy roads, the transportation of such and such materials was moving slowly in a certain place or somewhere, or had simply stopped.
As for the deduction? It is better to say, the process of transportation and storage is always inevitable that there is a little loss, which is a very normal thing, as long as you grasp the degree of this "loss", no one can find fault with it.
It is precisely because the masters of the logistics department have all kinds of maneuverable space and leeway, therefore, most officers hate and fear the legendary logistics office. Gross's gaze subconsciously glanced Tlynn up and down, trying to find the slightest trace of decay/corruption from this guy's body-
However, he was disappointed.
Although Tring had entered middle age, he was still in good shape—the adjective "brainy" had nothing to do with him, on the contrary, he was tall and ruddy, and looked like a sturdy young man from a distance.
This kind of appearance suddenly doesn't look like the legendary "logistics uncle", but Gross deeply understands the truth that "people can't look good" - it seems that this guy's background is not simple.
It's just that his gaze was too obvious, and the smile on Terling's face was even worse, but the smile was really a little forced.

"Lord Earl, I have already met that young man, and even tested his swordsmanship."
"Well, Elijah, what do you think of him?"
In the castle lord's mansion of Talen, two tall figures wandered in the garden of the forecourt, the gardener who was originally taking care of the seedlings and some handmaidens who occasionally passed by were far away, the hyacinths in the flower garden had been flourishing in this early spring in February, and the delicate buds that were growing one after another were condensed with crystal clear dewdrops, and the buds fluttered gently in the morning breeze, golden, white, and pink...... If you look closely, there is a faint hint of budding.
But the two people in the garden didn't notice the beautiful scenery around them—
The man on the left-hand side stopped, his face smiling with majesty, and he said to the other man beside him—
Earl Wolf and Knight Master Elliot.
"Very strong swordsmanship! In terms of pure skill, I think, at least not inferior to Olzog. ”
"Oh?"
Count Wall raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but be surprised. He naturally knew that the court swordsman Orzog -
Not only did Olzog hold the coveted position of court swordsman, but he was also the swordsman of his eldest son, Fred Wolff. Five years ago, when he traveled to the royal capital of Erwyn, he had an intimate meeting with the court swordsman who was known for his outstanding swordsmanship, and the extraordinary swordsmanship displayed by the other party was breathtaking!
And the leader of the Knights of Iris, Elijah Eliot, was also the one who was present to witness it.
"Does this young man I summoned really deserve such a high evaluation?"
"Absolutely."
"Hahaha, Elijah, then, can I assume that you have suffered a little at the hands of this young man?"
"Hey, the Earl is right."
Elijah sneered, he reached out and touched his head, and continued: "I don't know the true age of that young man, but that excellent swordsmanship alone is worthy of our recruitment, not to mention, that young man not only has the strength of the Awakening Intermediate Rank, but also has mastered the origin of the law of strength. ”
After a sword battle last night, Elijah had already made a very accurate estimate of Gross's strength. But now he was talking eloquently, but he saw that the count's face was becoming more and more suspicious.
"In this way, this young man looks like a monster."
"Monsters? The Earl's description is apt. ”
Elijah slapped Count Wolfe's ass silently, and the relationship between the two was already extremely close, which made Count Wolf laugh heartily.
"I've seen about the young man, and I know he's from our Talen. One...... The son of a very ordinary farmer, a mountain man. ”
After saying this, Count Wolf fell silent—
The farmer's association with the mountain dwellers was almost the lowliest of the commoners, and he almost said what he really thought. Fortunately, when it came to the end, he only used the neutral and non-derogatory term "very ordinary" to describe it.
But how could Elijah not hear the hidden meaning in the Earl's words?
Although he himself was born in the aristocracy, the treatment of his sons was not much better than that of commoners-
His mother was a cook in the family, and when he was a teenager, he had not yet joined the army, and every day was an endless amount of heavy work waiting for him, and when he watched his younger brother enjoy the fragrant cake and swallowed his saliva, he was scolded by his father and beaten with a broom—
That man was only his blood father, the origin of Eliot's surname, and the so-called beautiful feelings of fatherly love were always completely insulated from Elijah at that time. The man had never even looked at Elijah once, until Elijah returned home as the Knight Captain of the Iris Knights, embracing his mother and crying.
Shameless, disgusting face!
"It's not my son of old Eliot!"
The old guy boasted so much to outsiders. Elijah remembered seeing the man again, and he just snorted coldly from his nose, and his younger brother flattered and flattered him like a pug, but he only felt that the house was terrible! He just wants to leave with his mother!
But his mother, an old and bloated woman, pleaded incessantly......
He finally relented and chose to forgive all this. Because, his mother told him that his martial arts teacher Phillips was the youngest brother of the elder Eliot.
"Little Elijah, I hope you can always remember that no matter how noble or low, the sun in the sky always warms everyone."
Phillips was also the son of the Eliot family, and in addition to that, he was also a down-and-out retired military officer.
