I was born in an obscure place in the Weii subcontinent, the Black Flame City of the Andaman Alliance.
The Andaman Alliance is a small alliance of cities, this alliance is as small as Cheng dΓΉ, that is, the area of the city protected by the city walls of the entire alliance, it may not be as big as a Grade A city in Taixia, such an alliance, naturally it is impossible to find a knight.
Before the start of the Holy War, the Andaman Alliance had been annexed by the Norman Empire, and the Black Flame City where I was located had also become a fourth-level city under the Brunswick Province under the Northern Governor of the Norman Empire, and even before the Andaman Alliance was annexed, for many people who grew up in the prosperous cities of the Weiyi subcontinent, many people did not know where the Black Flame City of the Andaman Alliance was in that subcontinent.
And for many Taixia Hua people who live in a prosperous and prosperous world, many people probably don't know where the Weiyi subcontinent is.
I was born in such an insignificant place, from the humble little person to the grassroots knight.
One of the most important reasons why I feel like a grassroots knight is that before I was sixteen, I knew that my surname was Zhang, but I never knew that I had a copper relationship with Huaiyuantang in the Megatron subcontinent.
A copper plate was the price of half a bowl of rice brew for me an hour later, my mom subsidized the family by making rice brew, and my dad worked in a steel factory in Black Flame City. At that time, my father's salary for a year was about twelve gold coins. This salary has to feed our family of four. It is already very tense for our family to maintain the most basic decent life in Black Flame City, and the days of our family are counted as copper plates one by one.
Originally, our family was supposed to be a family of five, and I also had an older brother, but unfortunately before I was born, that guy was extremely dishonorable and extremely brainless as an ordinary soldier of the Andaman Alliance, and died in the war between the Andaman Alliance and the surrounding forces. It was only after that guy came to our house irresponsibly to make soy sauce and left, that I was in the house.
Probably trying to make my life harder. I don't want to come to the house to make soy sauce again, so my family gave me my current name - Zhang Tie.
Compared with Zhang Mushen, the knight's name, I actually prefer the nickname my family gave me, Zhang Tie, which was originally a very grassroots name.
Iron is not valuable, but it is very hard, and this name has also become a portrayal of my experience from birth to the present.
β¦β¦
My mother's teaching to me since I was a child boils down to one sentence β I don't need to be a great man. But try to be a good person!
I've been trying to be a good guy since I was a kid.
At that time, I was too young to even understand what it meant to be a good person, but when I first rode the tricycle at home and sent the leftover rice soup from the rice brewing at home to the Rong Orphanage in Heiyan City. Seeing the smiles of the children in the orphanage and the relieved smile on my mother's face, I had the earliest definition of a good person - a good person is a person who can give the endless rice soup at home to the orphanage.
Mother Teresa from the orphanage also touched my head. Say I'm a good person.
At that time, I was very confident. I can be a good person for the rest of my life.
Unexpectedly, I wanted to be a good person. It was shattered less than half a year after coming to Taixia, and now I, in Taixia, am a heinous bad person.
β¦β¦
It's hard to be a good person, especially to be a good person who can please everyone, and a good person doesn't have to be respected, and it won't be beautiful for a while.
Sometimes, I want to be the bad guy too.
The first time I wanted to be a bad guy was in Black Flame City, in the Iron Thorn War Hall in Black Flame City.
β¦β¦
Captain Colin, my military representative and director of discipline at the No. 7 Middle School in Heiyan City, probably saw that I was pitiful because he saw that I was very resistant to beatings in school, so he "kindly" introduced me to a promising career in the war management.
I still remember every word Captain Colin said to me that day.
"I'll introduce you to a social internship job in your spare time, this is a rare part-time job, not only has money to earn, the salary is high, you can exercise after work, but also get in touch with many rich and identity figures, broaden your horizons, this job is done, your strength has also been greatly improved, the place of work is a lot of beauties, if you have the opportunity, you may be able to have the opportunity to have intimate contact with some beautiful girls, many people begged me I didn't agree, except for you, I don't think there is a more suitable person than you!"
The first time I heard this, I felt that Captain Colin was the loveliest person in the world, and I felt that the aura of being a good person finally exploded in me, and my bleak life finally showed the first glimmer of turnaround.
At that time, I was working as an apprentice in a grocery store in Black Flame City, and the owner of the grocery store was an iron rooster, and I worked for two years, but I didn't have a single copper plate salary.
The life of the boys' middle school in Black Flame City has turned all the upright adolescent boys into beasts dominated by hormones.
At school, we don't call each other classmates, but we are commensurate with each other.
So, I'm eager for this job where I can make money and see beautiful women and "have intimate contact with big people".
The location of this job is on Mingguang Street, the most prosperous street in Heiyan City.
I feel like my life is about to take off.
β¦β¦
One day after Captain Colin had introduced me to the job, I arrived at Myeongguang Street with a heart of apprehension and longing, and walked with bated breath into the gate of the Iron Thorn War Hall, which was guarded by samurai in armor.
A beautiful woman was standing behind the service desk in the lobby of the war hall at that time, she wore a beautiful ponytail, she was in her twenties, wearing a black tight elastic vest on her upper body and a pair of white tight sweatpants on her lower body, and she was seen for the first time. The kind smile on her face and the youthful atmosphere on her face made me restless.
The woman's name was Mary. It was also the one who made me want to be a bad guy for the first time.
Knowing that I was here to apply for a job, she walked out from behind the service desk. Took me to the manager's room.
I walked behind her, watching her writhing ass, and the desire to be a man burned in my heart like wildfire, and then, boldly, I stammered to her, "You...... Hello, I ...... Your name is Zhang Tie, what is your name? β
I think. My voice should have trembled at that time.
Mary stopped, looked at me and the clothes I was wearing that already indicated all my identity and family background, and said to me, "Actually, you don't have to know my name, although we are both here to make money, but you just need to know that there will be no intersection between my life and people like you in this life, don't be a toad who wants to eat swan meat......"
This is a great disgrace.
Hearing this, I felt my face turn white and stiff like iron, and my heart was suddenly poked with a knife. For a moment, I didn't know how to respond, maybe I should have faced it gently and calmly, but in the end. The mixture of slight, belittling, anger and courage made me grab the woman by the shoulders and push her against the wall. When she was scared and overwhelmed, she used the action of making piston movements between men and women. Straightened up and hit her twice. And I told her fiercely, I want her to climb in front of me one day and beg me to her.
It's obscenity, and it's not something a good person can do.
In that case, it is not something that a good person can say to a beautiful girl of twenty years old.
I felt like a bad person, and I was so weak.
Luckily, Mary didn't shout, she was angry, even disdainful, but still took me to the manager's room.
For the first time in my life, I wanted to be a bad person, a bad person who made this woman put down her self-esteem in front of me and put away her indifferent and mocking face.
In the manager's room, I met the manager of the war hall and learned about the job that I thought had a future - a job that paid well, could work out, work in high-end places, get in close contact with big people, and broaden my horizons.
That's a sparring partner, that job is in the war hall, and there's another name - human punching bag! The rich people who came to the war hall felt that playing sandbags did not serve the purpose of exercising, and they needed a movable sandbag for them to exercise, and I was the one who could move.
The part-time hours of this profession are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, the time is from 6 to 11 o'clock every night, the hourly salary is 70 copper plates, and if you are late, you will work in vain a day, and the salary will be paid once a week, and there may be a tipping for guests.
On the day I went, the original human sandbag in the war hall resigned, so in order to keep me, the manager of the war hall increased my salary by 10 copper plates per hour.
Beaten up, 80 copper plates per hour, I it!
That was my first job.
I took it.
The first time, before I knew what was going on, I was knocked unconscious in the war hall, and I slowly woke up after being carried out of the training room.
It was late when I got home that day, and my father asked me why I came home a little late today.
I told him that the teacher at the school introduced me to a part-time job, which paid well, earned money, was well paid, could meet many rich and powerful people, and could exercise after work, and there were many beautiful beauties in the place where I worked, and a beautiful woman I met today praised me for my ambition - the toad wants to eat swan meat!
Mom and Dad laughed.
β¦β¦
Now it seems that this encounter with Mary in the War Hall may be a rehearsal of what I encountered today, and this rehearsal is something God wants me to understand.
- At some point in my life, a woman will change me from a good person to a bad person.
Mary was the first, but not the last. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
