ACT170 apprenticeship
The voice outside the door was full of enthusiasm, and it sounded like a young man—
The village chief, Lansaka, and his son, Nuno, stood under a small tree in front of the door, hesitating, while Paine walked a thousand miles with a grin, bending his fingers and tapping lightly.
"Mr. Paine, please come in."
Soon the answer came from the room—
The door was not locked, but was concealed, and Paine walked in with Lansaka and Little Nuno, and at a glance he saw Gross and his companions—
Gross sat at his desk with the beautiful Miss Crane, wearing an old white-washed shirt with half a sleeve rolled up on his right arm, and the blonde maiden was putting her short-handled staff back into her belt, and several people in the room were dressed differently, and it seemed that they had just returned from outside.
"Good day, Mr. Gross."
"Good day, Captain."
"Good day, everyone."
The two sides met with a simple set of greetings, and after each sat down, under Paine's enthusiastic introduction, the village chief Lansaka finally said his intention with a twist-
Little Nuno sat on a chair, his legs swaying back and forth, and a pair of bright brown eyes secretly looked at Gross, who was talking to Paine.
Paine was talking to Gross about "Little Nuno is going to learn swordsmanship", but under Little Nuno's gaze, Gross only showed a faint smile - he listened intently, did not nod or refuse.
To be honest, he wasn't very good at taking care of children, and of course, the other party's request was another way of trying to establish a close personal relationship with him - in a sense, which was not a bad thing for Gross, so he was quietly thinking about it.
The village chief Lansaka looked at the girl beside him, and then looked down at his own child—I have to admit that this is a clever little fellow, little Nuno stopped shaking his legs, straightened up with his chair, and cried out sweetly:
"Sister Crane."
"Huh? Is there something going on, little Nuno? ”
The girl twisted her head.
"You're so pretty."
The child, who was not yet seven years old, stated an unmistakable fact—his expression was very serious, and he did not know whether it was a fair evaluation in his heart, or an improvisation of the current situation, but the girl was obviously more convinced that it was the former, and suddenly, a pair of eyes under the long eyelashes narrowed into a beautiful crescent, and asked:
"Little Nuno, do you really plan to leave the village with us forever?"
"No, that's right, I want to learn swordsmanship from Brother Gross."
Little Nuno's answer was very honest, but at this time, the expression on his little face still showed a bit of the usual nervousness of his age - Lansaka was even more nervous than his child, and the simple-looking middle-aged man couldn't help but rub his slightly sweaty palms and looked at Gross at a glance.
The girl at the desk stood up, as if she had something to say.
Paine also stopped talking—
It has to be said that some things are obviously more appropriate for a child to be proposed, and little Nuno's choice of the girl as a breakthrough for this request is a remarkable and wise move. Almost as soon as the child's immature voice fell, the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on the girl.
Except for Lansaka and his son, everyone else almost regarded Radia as the wife of the leader of the "Original Dream" mercenary group.
"The experience of going out is a lot of hardship."
"Maybe it's more difficult and dangerous than you can imagine, little Nuno." It was Gross who answered, and he quickly echoed the girl—he had already seen the excited look on the face of the village chief, Lansaka, when he said this. Obviously, Gross had acceded to their request.
"Don't be afraid, Brother Gross, Sister Crane, little Nuno usually practices martial arts very hard."
"Little Nuno has been exposed to the most basic swordsmanship since he was about three years old, and he is very good among his peers."
Paine said at the right time—
Gross nodded, he knew very well that if he accepted Nuno Jr. today, the connection with Hualu Village would be successfully established. For the village chief, Lansaka, and the people in the village, the apprenticeship of little Nuno was actually just an excuse to stop by, and the deeper reason was that the other party wanted to take refuge in him, the powerful "Templar".
He kept a faint smile and didn't say anything about it.
In fact, no matter the modern society he lived in in his previous life, or the current world of Illusen, the strong are always easy to gather people's hearts, and being closely attached to a strong man can often bring about a change in the fate of ordinary people, and before the strong man has fully risen, it is an extremely cost-effective deal-
The same applies to the world of Illusen, and the people of Hualu Village may not know his true strength, but after seeing him defeat the undead general Sask's victory last night, they already have a deep awe for him.
Respect is because of his righteous act of destroying the undead, and fear is because a person like him should belong to another group of people who are high up and don't have much to do with them at all. However, Gross's kind attitude after that made these villagers feel a little less in their hearts, and after some contact, Paine boldly stated his intentions-
By now, the young militiaman had learned from private conversations that Gross was not the "Templars" they had originally imagined, but the leader of a mercenary group, which had just been established and was a pitiful small number, but Paine was convinced of his own judgment, and since he had seen that unpredictable swordsmanship last night, it was as if he had seen a bright path unfolding before his eyes, and all he needed to do was take the initiative to step forward and push open the door.
The village chief, Lansaka, or little Nuno, who is less than seven years old, seems to have this keen awareness.
Therefore, they came to the chapel early in the morning and waited until the return of Gross and the others.
"If Mr. Lansaka can rest assured......"
Gross replied slowly, and before he could finish his sentence, he saw Lansaka take little Nuno's small hand, and with a few quick steps he came to him and bowed - the etiquette of father and son was not strictly standardized, but the sincerity of it was unquestionable.
"Now, please, Master Gross!"
Lansaka said with a choked up - little Nuno's hand landed in Gross's palm, and the child looked up, his dark eyes unblinking, staring at the future teacher.
