Chapter 61: The Letters from Canaan
Bloom was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night, and the next day he knocked on the door just after dawn, urging Roland to get up and get on the road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"The travel supplies haven't been prepared yet, what are you anxious about?" Roland yawned and took a sip of the hot coffee the maid had brought him.
"Then hurry up and clean up! My luggage was picked up last night! The dwarf picked up a backpack and snapped it.
Roland glanced at the leather backpack, which looked a bit like a backpack, with brass buckles on the shoulder straps, at most a lunch box and a few clothes, and the pockets on both sides of the backpack were even smaller, probably only for socks.
"You've been picking up all night, and there's only a little luggage for you?"
"Haha! Roland, my brother, you're blind this time! The dwarf cocked his beard proudly, "Don't look at this backpack as inconspicuous, it's actually a treasure with magical powers, the side pockets on both sides of the backpack alone can hold two cubic feet and twenty pounds of items, and when you open the backpack, you can put up to eight cubic feet and eighty pounds of heavy items, in fact, I even stuffed a tent into it." β
Roland understood when he said this. It turned out that this backpack was the legendary "Howard convenience bag", which was much larger than it looked, and was a favorite among travelers. Of course, the price is not cheap, such a backpack, the price of the Moradin Temple is two thousand gold coins, and only a local tyrant like Bloom can afford it.
Putting down the teacup, Roland looked at the dwarf with a smile: "Bloom, my friend, there is a way that those who can work harder, since your backpack space is large enough, why don't you even pack my luggage in it." β
The dwarf nodded innocently, "No problem, anyway, this magic bag weighs only five pounds no matter how many things you stuff." β
At this time, Lyudmila walked in with a dinner plate in one hand, sat down across the table, and said with a smile: "My luggage is also packed, and we will leave after breakfast." β
"Oh, Giant Chick, do you want to put your luggage in my backpack?"
"Excuse me, I don't want to share a suitcase with a stinky man."
"So women are trouble." Bloom reached for the plate, but was slapped away by Lyudmila.
"Don't touch my breakfast." The giantess didn't have a good airway.
Bloom was stunned for a moment, "Don't you still have one?" β
"Both are mine!"
Bloom was taken aback for a moment, then looked her tall figure up and down, and couldn't help but laugh.
"No wonder it's so big, and there's no one to eat this amount......"
"Shut up!" Lyudmira's face flushed, and she grabbed an apple and shoved it into his mouth, choking the dwarf to roll his eyes.
Munching on a smoked bear sandwich as "ladylike" as possible, Lyudmila gestured twice at Roland with her fork.
If it weren't for her childhood sweetheart, Roland really couldn't understand what she wanted to do, so she quickly poured a cup of coffee and handed it over.
Lyudmila moistened her throat and first criticized the illegal cooking of bear meat and the rough taste, and then remembered the matter and asked Roland: "When to leave?" β
"You eat slowly, I'll say hello to my dad and leave."
Rudolph's room was upstairs, and Roland was filling his pipe when he entered, breakfast on the table was barely moving, and a letter was pressed under the teacup.
Roland sniffed the strong smell of smoke in the room, and felt a little uneasy.
"Father, what happened?" Rudolph would never have replaced breakfast with tobacco unless he had a problem.
Rudolph lit the tobacco with the delicate kerosene lighter, took a deep breath, and then tapped his fingers on the table, motioning for his son to look at the letter.
Roland removed the teacup, and there was no postmark on the envelope, so it was conceivable that it was a "shipment" delivered by magic.
"Could it be that something has happened to the Fort of Atonement?" Nervously pulled out the letter paper and skimmed it quickly.
Contrary to his expectations, the letter was not from the Fort of Atonement, but from the Marquis of Canaan.
In his letter, the Marquis congratulated Rudolph on his victory in the Far East by leading his army to defeat the Orc tribes, and after a series of polite words, he told Rudolph that his eldest son, Gropha Zion, had recently been promoted to the rank of Templar of Pero, and he was deeply pleased.
Roland frowned. He was no stranger to the name Corophaa Zion. It is said that there are three brilliant geniuses in the Holy Assanian Empire today, collectively known as the "Three Heroes of the Empire", two of them are from the imperial royal family, the first is the Elector of Perro, the crown prince Frank Hansberg, who has entered the legendary realm before the age of thirty, and the other is the daughter of Prince Siegmunt, the commander of the Imperial Knights of the Holy Light, Valentina Hansberg, who is in his early twenties, and is a holy warrior, a priest of the Holy Light, and a knight of punishment.
The youngest of the "Three Heroes of the Empire" is the "Lord of the Heavens" Glopha Zion, who is said to have tamed a Pegasus at the age of 10 and was promoted to the "Knight of the Blue Sky", setting the record for the youngest advancement in the history of the Canaanite Kingdom, and now at the age of 18, he has once again set a record for the advancement of a class, becoming the youngest Templar in history.
As a peer, Roland admits that Grofa Zion is an unborn genius, but he is not ashamed of his brilliance. As a time-traveler, he also doesn't think that his rate of progress will be lost to that of Corofa, Valentina, or even Prince Frank, the Elector of Perro.
"Canaanite Prince Glopha Zion was recently promoted to Grand Knight of the Knights of the Holy Lance, have you ever heard of the Knights of the Holy Lance?" Rudolph smoked his pipe and asked his son slowly.
Roland withdrew his gaze from the letter, looked at his father and nodded, "The Knights of the Holy Lance is the elite unit of the Princes of Canaan, whose purpose is to defend the faith of Pero, the royal family of Canaan, and the Holy Lance 'Longinus', and the 'Knights of the Holy Scepter' of the Marquis of Hailan, the 'Knights of the Holy Crown' of the Marquis of Fizhen, the 'Knights of the Holy Grail' of the Grand Duchy of Pausward, and the 'Knights of the Holy Sword' belonging to the Imperial Clan," The Knights of the Holy Light's name, is one of the most powerful regular armies in the Holy Assanian Empire and even the entire Old World, the members of the Holy Spear Knights are also called 'Blue Sky Knights', 'Pegasus Knights', and their professional abilities are similar to those of the Holy Warriors, the biggest advantage is that they can control Pegasus as a mount, and the range of magic is wider than that of ordinary holy warriors, including many spells suitable for air combat. β
Rudolph nodded, satisfied with his son's answer, and then asked him, "Now that you have a chance to join the Knights of the Holy Lance, are you interested?" β
Roland was stunned.
Join the Knights of the Holy Lance and become a knight of the sky on a pegasus? I have to say that this idea is very moving, only a knight can understand what an advantage it is to be able to ride a pegasus, compared to the ordinary paladins are a group of Luthors.
However, he also understands that there is never a pie-in-the-sky good thing, "so what price do I have to pay for this?" β
Rudolph smiled slightly: "The Marquis of Zion said in his letter that his son Gropha needs a young and wise assistant, and Glova has heard that you have performed well in the war against the orcs, and he is very sorry for you, and hopes that you will go to the capital of Canaan with the letter and serve as his attendant knight." β
Roland chuckled in his heart. He didn't expect that his every move in the Far East would be watched by the Zion family, what was the purpose of the other party asking him to leave his homeland to serve in Canaan?
"Sympathy" is just a polite remark, and the truth is likely to be that he behaved too eye-catching during this time, causing the Zion family to be vigilant and asking him to go to serve in the Canaanite Marquis, not only to monitor him nearby and find out his deep intentions, but also to use him as a hostage, and when necessary, he can be used to blackmail Rudolph into submission.
Now the question is what Rudolph thinks of the letter.
If Rudolph succumbed to the Marquis's demands and decided to send him to Bethlehem, the capital of Canaan, then there would be no need to think about it, everything Roland had done in the Far East would be in vain and meaningless. When he arrived in Canaan, even if the marquis did not deliberately make things difficult for him, the life under the fence would not be easy, and if he performed well, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not attract envy and even lead to death.
Roland sighed to himself.
So far, his life has been quite good; If you are assigned to Canaan, it is like suddenly switching from normal to hell while playing a game, and the risk of uncontrollable is greatly increased. If he had a choice, he really didn't want to leave the Far East, let alone be forced to leave before his blueprint was about to be put into action, but did he have a choice?
Roland looked at Rudolph with a look in his eyes that could not hide the apprehension in his heart.
