Chapter 172: Gral's Doubts
Gal looked at this smiling teenager, and felt that he was really powerless to complain, facing a property worth three hundred purple gold coins to shout the price of three purple gold coins, except for Eri
In fact, the value of the property here is far more than three hundred purple gold coins, and if it weren't for Jeff's secret appearance, five hundred purple gold coins might not be able to buy it.
It's not even a matter of money anymore.
However, he didn't want it for nothing, but offered to buy it with gold coins, and then offered an unimaginable price, as if he didn't know the preciousness of the property here.
It's just that although Gal doesn't understand, he knows that Ari must have his own thoughts. For this senior brother who is much younger than him, his mentality has always been quite complicated.
It was this person who taught him a lot of things by word and deed, as if there was nothing in the world that he didn't know. Sometimes he felt that the word demon seemed to be tailor-made for this senior brother, and the magical brain circuit was simply not like a normal person
He still remembers the scene when he first met Ari, when he was a three-year-old child, and he was able to use his teacher's apprenticeship to defraud him of nearly 10,000 gold coins, and even his father did not see the problem in the contract, and suffered a dumb loss.
However, it was such a person who seemed to be extremely greedy, but after a few days, as if he didn't know the value of the Demon Beast egg, he casually handed it over to him.
After three years of contact, Gal has a very high level of trust in Ari, and he knows that although Ari sometimes speaks very heartily, there is often a kindness hidden behind things.
Well, it must be so
Just like now, there must be a reason for Ari's rejection of the property given away for free. Although he didn't understand why Ari had separated his money from his father's, and why he had to buy it with the ridiculous three purple gold coins, he didn't understand
Gal thought about it for a long time, but finally couldn't figure out these questions, and couldn't help but ask Ari, "Why don't you give away the house for nothing." β
Ari didn't answer his question, and said with some sighs, "Your father has not been idle all these years, not only suppressed your uncle in the popularity of the people, but also gave birth to three half-brothers to you."
Gal looked at Ari with a puzzled expression, not understanding the connection between the two events.
Ari looked at the naΓ―ve Gal and couldn't help but shake his head, with such an IQ, if he was put into a palace struggle drama, he would definitely not survive three episodes
Ari glanced at Jeff who was standing aside, didn't continue, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's talk about these things later, it's not early now, you can arrange for everyone to rest." β
With that, Ari greeted the other Young Pioneers, patted the Phippi Falcon on the neck, and directed it to fly back to the courtyard next door.
It was late for Gal to arrange everyone, and after returning to the room and thinking about it, he finally called Jeff over.
When Jeff came in, he stood aside and kept a respectful attitude, he knew that Gal would say whatever he wanted to say.
Gal thought for a moment, then suddenly turned to Jeff and asked, "Why didn't Ari want it when he heard that the money was my father's." β
Jeff hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, and instead of answering the question, he suddenly knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Please accept the allegiance of your subordinates"
Gal was stunned at first, then hurriedly supported him with his hand and said, "Haven't you been loyal to me?"
Jeff fell to his knees on one knee, still bowing his head, and said, "Before today, my allegiance was to your father, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince. β
Garr was stunned, not understanding why both Ari and Jeff had distinguished him from his father, and he asked in confusion, "Is there any difference?"
Jeff raised his head and said with a serious face, "If you don't accept the allegiance of your subordinates, please forgive your subordinates for not being able to answer." β
Gal thought for a moment, and finally put his right hand on Jeff's right shoulder, and said solemnly, "I accept your allegiance"
The nobleman's allegiance ceremony was somewhat complicated, far from being as simple as the civil knight's oath of allegiance, and after a tedious operation, Jeff became the first guardian warrior of Garr.
Gal exhaled, leaned back, slumped back in his chair, glanced at Jeff, and said, "Now, let's talk." β
Jeff nodded, and said with a serious expression, "Originally, I wouldn't have said these things, but now I can say them." β
Before his allegiance to Garr, he was a servant of Tolkien, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, and there were some things that could not be said. And now, he has become the guardian knight of Garr, and many taboo topics can be said bluntly.
In this world, the guardian knight is a very special existence, he is not talking about knightly troops, but a samurai spirit, a symbol of the highest honor of a samurai. Once you swear to become someone's guardian knight, you can't betray it in this life. In addition, the Continental Knight Guild has zero tolerance for betrayal of this kind of behavior that corrupts the honor of knights, and once discovered, it will issue a high reward for free, and will not die
Therefore, every samurai will be carefully considered when they take the oath to become a guardian.
Jeff has been thinking about it for a long time. If he had been with Tolkien, he would never have chosen to be loyal to Gal, or if Gal did not have three half-brothers, he would not have made such a hasty decision. But he followed Garr for three years, and Tolkien had three more sons
What made him up to the most was Tolkien's current status in the kingdom. The king's health is getting worse day by day, and it seems that he will not be able to survive this spring, and the nobles and the people, all of whom are calling for the wise and virtuous Ninth Prince to take over the throne, and Tolkien is already taking over various political affairs.
The battle for the crown prince has almost come to an end.
In this case, Jeff must think about the future. Tolkien placed him by Gal's side for three years. In everyone's eyes, he was already a man of Gal. Although Gal's three younger brothers are still young, the battle for the crown prince has always been cruel, and the fate of the eldest prince if you don't fight for others is a lesson from the past
What's more, Gal was originally a hole card played by Tolkien, and for this identity, he left the royal capital and came to the remote north to learn the art of blacksmithing. Now that Tolkien has won a big victory, Gal's position has suddenly become very embarrassing, and the original vital status of the guardian of the kingdom has now become a chicken rib.
No matter how high the Guardian's status is, he's just a blacksmith and that's it
The background explanation of this volume is a bit verbose. Bear with me. Start writing the next chapter.
