Chapter 10: The Fallen Hero

"Whew...... Drink ......" Lowry gasped and wiped his face with a towel hanging around his neck, but unfortunately the wet towel could not bring a cool feeling to people under the sun, but Lori had no choice, he still had to pull the carload of goods behind him to the port east of the city before the sun rose to the highest, even for a middle-level professional like him, it was very difficult to complete the entire warehouse in a morning, and there would not be too many opportunities to rest.

It stands to reason that even if people now don't care a little about personal force, but as a middle-level professional, it is completely impossible to mix to the level of Lowry, and the mercenary guild has not collapsed, although there are many fewer people who have fallen into the grass after the rapid growth of food production, and the previous heavy tasks, that is, the task of escorting caravans, have also decreased a lot, but in this era of large-scale construction, the demand for manpower, especially the demand for physical physics professionals, is also increasing, Lowry didn't need to do the kind of hard work that would have to be done.

But it's a pity that Lowry is a nobleman, yes, this was still an enviable term more than ten years ago, but Lowry, as the head of the family, was on the wrong side when the change came, although he retained his life because he never did evil on weekdays, but after the family wealth was confiscated and the title of nobility was deprived, Lowry was left with the strength of a middle-level professional who spent a huge amount of money to "raise" when he was still an earl.

Of course, if this were the case, Lowry would still not be as depressed as he is now, but while losing his title of nobility, his original old rival, another earl, was safe and sound because he chose to stand opposite to Lowry, although his title can no longer be hereditary, but the family business is still there, and he is still the earl until the earl dies.

Falling into the well is a very pleasant move, so Lowry was unexpectedly targeted, but it is a pity that Lowry, who is now almost nothing, is completely incapable of resisting this targeting, and because of this, poor Lowry can only rely on selling his physical strength in exchange for some meager money, just enough to support his family, which is the fundamental reason why Lowry chose to bear all this humiliation silently.

The depressed knight looked up at the dazzling sun, the warm sunlight seemed so vicious at this time, and the little physical strength left told Lowry that he could only rely on perseverance to complete this last part of the journey, and the strong body he had cultivated in the past had become thin under the labor of the day, and the food that could not keep up with it at all, and he felt the fact so clearly for the first time: he was about to lose his patience.

However, at this lowest point in Lowry's life, his fate began to reverse for the second time.

"Count Pallas, the contemporary patriarch of the Pallas family, a mid-level knight, although his strength is not too strong, he is respected as the 'Knight of Creed' because of his adherence to the knightly code." Far away, a voice came into Lowry's ears, it was a portrayal of his life fifteen years ago, the honor of "Knight of Creed" was originally a proud thing, but now, fifteen years later, it is more like a shackle, as one of the few remaining insistences in Lowry's heart, the knight's creed can only make his situation worse and worse.

Just when Lowry thought that his old rival had come up with a new way to humiliate him, the unknown man also came to him.

"Passable strength, a long-standing family, and respectable character." The man seemed to have a high opinion of Lowry, but in the next second, the other party made a move to rub salt on the wound of the down-and-out knight.

"Why, under this scorching sun, are you doing menial manual work? Why, you, failed? The words with mana broke through Lowry's mental defense as a mid-level knight, but fortunately, the other party didn't seem to turn Lowry into an idiot, but just wanted to win the trust of this "former nobleman" in the most effortless way.

"Why, why ......" Lori was directly affected by this spiritual spell unsuspectingly, he kept repeating this sentence, and then he didn't need this caster at least a high-level or higher spell to do anything, he himself found an answer that was enough to satisfy the other party.

"Yes, my original opponent is the Ronggen family...... No, it won't, it's just Youngen's words...... No...... Yes, this change! "Lori has long known why he has fallen to this point, but it was the terrible dragons who carried out the change at the beginning, and the desperate opponent made Lori completely unable to convince himself to resist, but now, at the end of the mountain, stimulated by this spellcaster, Lori took out the last determination.

"I'm going to do something." Lowry thought of his family, he had foreseen what would happen to him when Jung lost interest in humiliating him, and what would happen to his family, these were things he didn't want to think about, but today, he couldn't escape anymore.

"I'm going to start, a new change!" Lowry's eyes finally stopped wandering, and there was a flame called hope burning inside.

"Good!" The spellcaster who guided Lowry nodded with satisfaction, and it took a lot of effort to find such a pawn.

Are there many people on the continent who oppose change? Of course, there are many, and it can be said that the majority of people who were opposed to change in the first place, after all, people do not want change, which will make them lose their sense of security. But fifteen years after the change had begun to bear fruit, only those small and medium-sized nobles who had fallen in the midst of the change were the staunchest opponents of the change.

So, who among these people is suitable to be the leader of the civil war? First of all, he has to be a good person.

Yes, in order not to give Mijas a reason not to intervene, the legendary mages want to find a good person to start this civil war, then it will be a reasonable war, purely because of this change, if some careerist starts a civil war, it will help Mijas to make up his mind to strictly control the entire reformist.

After this screening, although the Arrow Continent is large, there are not many who are eligible, and in this original Earldom of Pallas, the current Pallas City, there are several more suitable factors.

First of all, although the down-and-out Knight of Lowry was not in favor of change at first, he was only too conservative, and he had a good reputation in the local area, and in fact the citizens of the city would often help him after his downfall, and the targeted he had received in the last fifteen years had earned him widespread sympathy from the common people in the neighborhood.

Secondly, although the Rongen family, who had humiliated the poor Knight Lowry, had become the only prominent family in the local area, and had controlled most of the power in the entire city of Pallas in the past fifteen years, they had become more and more indulgent because of their material abundance, and with the original Earl Lowry as a comparison, the commoners were not without complaints about this new ruler.

In this way, Lowry Knight is a perfect leader of the resistance who is worth their investment, so today, on the seventeenth day after they found this knight, it is finally the eve of the collapse of Lowry Knight, at this time, the legendary spellcaster, the archmage with a class level of 23, Carry, appeared, he came to Lowry, and aroused his anger against the reformers.

"Dear 'Knight of Creed', I'm a legendary mage, Carey, and I'm glad to see you fighting again." Legendary mages practice an ancient etiquette that is often understood by the most old-fashioned families, and Paris is one such family.

"However, I can't fight the dragon." Even so, Knight Lowry instantly understood what the archmage had found him for, but the hope in his eyes still couldn't change the cruel reality.

"We're going to hold the dragons down, at least, we're not going to involve the dragons in our human civil war." Carey's smile didn't fade, and he said confidently, as if he was an equal to the dragons.

"I still can't do it, I can't even deal with the Ronggen family." Knight Lowry is very self-aware, after the appearance of magic weapons that can be used by civilians, a mid-level professional like him has completely fallen behind, even if it is a decapitation battle, he is not as good as a seasoned assassin. "I'm left with nothing now." Knight Lowry said bitterly.

"You still have my friendship, and you still have the friendship of the people." Carey pointed to his heart.

"People are living well, they don't need Count Paris anymore." Lowry smiled wryly, the material abundance after the start of the reform was indisputable.

"But, the current rulers, look at it, the current rulers, in the plan of the high-ranking Red Dragon Prince, the current rulers are a group of existences that focus on all interests, and they don't have any 'glory' at all!" Carey said aloud, which also made Lowry think.

"Are we going to live under the control of a group of businessmen in the future? Think about Junggen's recent actions, think about what these people are doing to civilians, think about your creed as a knight! "Carey kept trying, and he could already see the struggle in Lowry's Knight's eyes.

"We still need nobles who know what honor is." Carey finally whispered.

"Do they still need me?" Lowry looked up slowly, and said the deepest question in his heart with a trembling voice.

People's lives are getting better and better, which was originally a good thing, after all, those were originally his people, but for Lowry, this is also the last reason for him to give up on himself, but now, a person came to him and said that people's lives are still not good enough, still, need him!

Carey didn't speak, it was a slight nod.

Lowry got down on one knee.
