Chapter 17: Jeff

Jeff was originally the child of a tavern owner in the city of Argori, but he lost his home in the Elemental War, and the dragon of Argoli in the mouth of the mountain people heroically repelled the attack of the water elemental army, but if anyone said that with the protection of only one dragon, the entire city of Argoli would have zero casualties is undoubtedly a joke to deceive children.

Jeff's father died under the magic of a water elemental soldier's "water cannon", in fact, in that winter, the "water cannon" has become an "ice cannon" after arriving in the city, Jeff still can't forget the scene where his father was hit by a hockey ball that fell from the sky and smashed the roof and smashed the back of his head, even Jeff, who is now a 16-year-old adult, often dreams of this picture in his dreams and wakes up.

Jeff lost his mother at a very young age, and the wind and snow took the life of this beautiful and frail woman, and Jeff, who grew up with his father since he was a child, still grew up to be a cheerful and lively child, but God used "ice and snow" to take Jeff's father away in such a cruel way for the second time, and Jeff has left his hometown since then.

Jeff knew he couldn't blame anyone about what was going on, but the "providence" was too much to bear, so with the help of his kind neighbors and the help of a city lord who had somehow changed, Jeff left his native city, which was wrapped in silver for three months a year. The lord of Argori wrote a letter to him and gave him 5 gold coins, which would allow him to enter any of the knight academies of the Knight Empire, and Jeff was in good health from a young age, even playing freely in the snow with only a single coat, and on the day he left, everyone believed that he could become an outstanding knight.

Jeff himself knew that it was not a glorious thing for him to leave his hometown because of the psychological shadow of the ice and snow, but everyone's support still helped him regain his former self-confidence, except for the occasional waking up in the middle of the night, Jeff became the lively and cheerful Jeff again.

But only the lord of Argori City knows that Jeff can't go too far on the road of knighthood, because Jeff is just Jeff, not Jeff or something, the knight profession needs a lot of financial support, and in terms of Jeff's physical talent, it has not reached the level that any nobles will invest in him, maybe in the early days Jeff can keep up with the progress, but once he reaches the standard of graduating from the knight academy, that is, 6 professional levels, or according to the knight's internal saying, he is no longer a knight squire, But after becoming a real knight, Jeff, who lacks funds, will soon fall behind, and in the end, he will not have much breakthrough, and can only live as an ordinary person and die.

In fact, Jeff himself knows very well, but he is still very grateful to the city lord, because if it weren't for this, he wouldn't even have a chance to become an ordinary person, not counting those serfs and the like who don't have any rights, even civilians, and a large number of people would die of cold and hunger every year, if there was no letter from the city lord and those five gold coins, the probability of Jeff dying in the second winter was as high as more than ninety!

But it's a good year, especially for a low-level knight like Jeff, because the war has just ended, and many knight families with property in the empire have perished, and a third of the knights in the entire knight empire army have died! In this case, even a mediocre level 6 knight like Jeff may be able to get the investment of some minor nobles, so in the past two months, the entire knight empire can be said to be crowded, and countless down-and-out knights are wandering around, hoping to find a lord they can be loyal to, and among them, young knights are sometimes more popular than those strong old knights.

But Mijas's crystal fire collar is an exception, first of all, Mijas is not a nobleman in the traditional sense, not to mention that he himself is still a chivalrous man, which makes many knights worry about whether he will have professional discrimination, and Mijas's strength is too strong, it is a very courageous thing to go to the command of a legendary powerhouse to serve allegiance, especially when your own strength is low, there are still very few people who can really convince yourself that you are not going to bring humiliation.

But Jeff still came to the Crystal Fire Realm, because he vaguely remembered that in the city with three months of winter, he had met a special guest, the professional with the epic sword was the first and only person he had seen an epic magic prop, and it was one of the few experiences he could use as a talking point in his days at the academy. Jeff relied on this memory of his youth to deduce that he could easily know that the "chivalrous" with an epic sword in the mouth of the paladin at that time was, of course, Mijas, who was known as the "Hidden Hero", and now, more people will call him "Duke of Crystal Fire Collar".

Believing in his memory, Jeff believed that Mijas would be a friendly lord, and that there were no knights in the Crystal Fire Lord, so his chances were greatly increased, so he traveled thousands of miles from the southwest of the empire to the Crystal Fire Lord, which is located in the northeast of the empire, intending to pay allegiance to Mijas, the "Duke of the Crystal Fire Lord".

"Old man, do you know where the Duke's mansion is?" Walking to the edge of a farmland, Jeff carefully led his horse to prevent it from stepping on the wheat, an act that won the favor of the old farmer.

"My lord, what kind of ceremony is said to be held in that temple!" The old farmer pointed to the dark temple, which was not a common color, but Jeff was not suspicious, but it was not common, and Jeff thanked the old farmer and got on his horse and headed towards the temple.

If there is anything different Jeff feels after entering the Crystal Fire Territory, it is that the Crystal Fire Territory is indeed too rich, today is October, in his hometown of Agoli City, it is now too cold to grow anything except grass, but the wheat in the farmland just now grows very well, which shows that the crops in the Crystal Fire Territory can be harvested twice a year or even three times a year!

But even so, Jeff still saw that there were a lot of druids working in the farmland, and the farmers couldn't invite the druids, especially these were still elven druids, only Mijas could invite these druids, Jeff also learned basic territory management in the knight's school, and the Crystal Fire Collar was originally a grain production powerhouse, and now with these druids, it is estimated that even if half of the young and strong don't do farm work, the Crystal Fire Collar can still be maintained very well.

"I really don't know what the Duke is thinking." Jeff has the advantage of not speculating if he doesn't understand, so even if Mijas's actions don't meet the standard style of any lord, Jeff will not think that Mijas is doing something wrong.

"Huh? Minotaur? And the dwarves? Halfway through, Jeff spotted a strange pair, a minotaur and a dwarf arguing, the scrapped mechanical engineering vehicle next to them was obviously the reason, and looking at the farmers who were weeding peacefully in the fields on both sides, he obviously didn't think that these two "aliens" were a strange thing here.

"It's all your fault! It's so heavy, we can't make it in time for the opening ceremony of the Temple of the Goddess! The dwarf kept complaining as he repaired his locomotive, and the minotaur was clearly not to be outdone, "Blame me? Obviously your locomotive is too bad, I have long said to be my Kodo, but you meow actually say that you are afraid of heights? My Kodo is so small and cute, you still say you're afraid of heights! ”

Jeff learned from their words that they were probably a pair of good friends, no wonder the farmers weren't worried about them making trouble, the Knight Academy's request for knights to help others made Jeff stop, "Hey, friend, is there anything I can do to help?" ”

"Oh? A human knight, fantastic! Your fingers aren't as clumsy as this stupid big thick one here! The dwarf was also polite when he saw Jeff, "Come and help me hold this place!" "There was only a small circular notch on the outside of this part, no wonder the minotaurs couldn't help, their fingers were too thick.

"Humph!" The minotaur knew that now was not the right time, so he just snorted coldly, and then looked at Jeff with a friendly gaze, "Friend, Mother Earth is sheltering you, come and do you a favor!" ”

"Okay!" Jeff tried hard and found that the part was surprisingly tight, and it couldn't be broken with the strength of his professional!

"Use your 'gas', little knight, my locomotive is of good quality, don't worry about breaking it!" The dwarf reminded.

"Hey!" With all his strength, Jeff finally broke the part, and the dwarf immediately took out his small tool, reached in and played with it, just as Jeff was about to run out. "Done! Thank you, little knight, my name is Steelhammer, a dwarf. ”

"I'm Muki, a minotaur."

"Jeff. A human! Jeff vaguely noticed that the strength of the two in front of him was not ordinary, but the friendship was not high, he smiled and shook the hands of the two, and reported his name.

"Alright, let's go to the celebration of the Earth Goddess!" The Minotaur pulls Jeff in, but Jeff was supposed to go to the temple and joins the weird squad.

"Speaking of which, why is this temple completely black?" As he got closer to the temple, Jeff looked more closely, and the various carvings were extremely exquisite, but the all-black color still puzzled him.

"Little knight, it's all obsidian, of course it's black!" The Minotaur smirked and said that he was too big, and that it was good that the dwarf's locomotive was open-topped, otherwise he would not have been able to sit down.

"Obsidian!" Jeff couldn't help but sigh about Mijas's wealth, a great sword made of pure obsidian can be sold for thousands of gold coins in the imperial capital auction house, then this obsidian temple ......

As they reached their destination, Jeff also saw many dwarves and minotaurs, but the impact of the obsidian temple just now was too great, and Jeff didn't feel surprised now.

"Believers!" On the stage, Mijas began his speech, and the robe of the main god set off his handsome face like a mortal.

"Your Excellency Mijas, so beautiful!" Jeff couldn't help but let out a sigh and immediately covered his mouth, but luckily the minotaurs and dwarves around him were in a frenzy for the gods and didn't notice his gaffe.

When Jeff came back to his senses, everyone was already blessing the goddess of the earth, and in this atmosphere, Jeff not only silently recited the only message he knew about the goddess of the earth, which was given to them by a history teacher when he was at the Knight Academy, and it was said to be the oldest greeting that people knew, and it was not at all as beautiful as it was now adapted by the people of the temple.
