Chapter 17 Now they are all bare

The ranks of knight apprentices and servants are very different, but there are some things that remain largely unchanged.

It's still a dimly lit hallway, it's still a cramped room, it's still a small bunk.

Of course, Wu Xin understood that the accommodation conditions of the knight trainees and the servants did not seem to be large, but the difference between inside and outside the castle actually meant many things.

Safety, future, and value have all been enhanced.

Wu Xin knew that he had indeed taken a step forward.

However, there were some disadvantages to the situation, and after becoming an apprentice, he realized that his conflict with the French would not end so easily, and the English group was too weak.

After entering the apprenticeship class, he sent a letter to the English group that the proportion of knight apprentices was even lower than that of the servants, and although the number of attendants in the English group was small, it was finally able to maintain a group.

This is also reflected in the accommodation, where the number of English knight apprentices is so small that they have to share a dormitory with the same limited number of German knight apprentices.

Of course, Wu Xin still gets a little preferential treatment now, because he is a rare spell caster, and he can also speak German, so the apprentices of the German group are quite friendly on the whole, and a German group apprentice who seems to be quite prestigious, gave Wu Xin a good position with a window on the side of the shop.

Although Wu Xin resigned several times, the other party was very firm that this was the natural treatment of the spellcaster.

The benefits of the caster are not only that, he can sleep until he wakes up naturally, and he does not have to get up at dawn to work.

Unless it's an emergency, it's the norm to get the caster enough sleep.

Because the peak of the flow of people has passed, the dressing room, which was also very crowded, is completely at Wu Xin's disposal.

Of course, the dressing room is actually a large sink with several ditches in a large rock.

Wu Xin put down his toiletry box, then scooped up water from the water tank, rinsed his mouth, and then picked up a toothbrush made of pig bristles and began to brush his teeth.

In Wu Xin's opinion, this is much worse than the soft toothbrush in his memory, but this is already the best tooth cleaning tool he can find.

He was almost finished, and an arm suddenly reached out from behind and picked up the box in front of him.

Up close, this arm is not a traditional beauty lotus arm, but it is full of muscles, full of skin, and full of strength.

Then there was the blonde hair, and in the daylight, Delia's blonde hair was glistening.

The sparkling blonde hair mirrors her arms, making up for the shortcomings, imbuing Delia with a sense of strength and beauty, but also a feminine charm.

Delia looked at the tooth powder in the box, and then glanced at the bristle brush in Wu Xin's hand, with an incredible expression: "Are you really a seafarer, not a nobleman?" ”

Wu Xin's things, not everyone has female knight apprentices, and it is even rarer for men to pay attention to hygiene like this.

Wu Xin laughed: "Yes, in fact, I am an incognito prince." ”

Wu Xin's explanation made Delia laugh, and she responded shrewdly: "When you become an official knight, you can use the white rose as a coat of arms." ”

"Then I am not on the lookout for His Majesty's assassins every day." Wu Xin laughed.

The red and white roses were the family crests of the two contenders in the most recent English Civil War.

"By the way, you slept too?" He guessed that Delia was a priest and should have privileges.

Delia put down the tooth powder box in her hand and looked at Wu Xin hatefully: "You spellcasters have fallen so fast, I'm not like you, I get up early in the morning and go to church, and the morning prayers are done." God requires every pastor to pray to him five times a day in the church whenever possible, and if there is no church, he must build a simple altar by himself, and if he is absent from prayer, it will be considered disrespectful and lose the ability to perform divine magic. ”

Wu Xin had actually inquired about how the priests of this world could gain their abilities, and he deliberately teased Delia: "Then you came to me on purpose now?" ”

"Don't dream!"

After Delia reprimanded him softly, she said seriously: "I'm afraid that you will be used by others, although the French are the most hateful, but you don't trust the Italians, although I don't know about Cassano and Ayran's plans, but don't trust them casually,

Wu Xin looked at Delia a little surprised, he didn't expect this girl to have such political sensitivity: "I know. ”

"Be serious, the bigger the people, the more they can't be trusted, they will do anything for power." Delia didn't think that Wu Xin, a young man, could understand the seriousness of the matter. "The danger here is no less than the battles we have experienced, you are just lucky this time, and the chief prosecutor of Siegel may not be forgotten, you must be careful."

Wu Xin looked at Deliya's anxious appearance, and said: "We English people are weak, we must not blindly mix in their struggle, and those who say they don't care must also be careful of their revenge." ”

"If you know, it's good." Although Wu Xin's face was serious, Delia was still a little worried about whether he really understood the seriousness. "Believe me, politics is the most dangerous and dirtiest thing, and we try not to get involved in the struggle between the French and the Italians."

Wu Xin could hear that Deliya's words were completely sincere.

After a series of recent bizarre experiences, he suddenly had a ** to pour out his secrets.

In this world, the person he trusts the most is this girl who has experienced the reincarnation world with him and has come to care about his safety again.

But the voice in the dream reminded Wu Xin not to trust, and there were too many secrets in his body, would it trigger a strange taboo?

Just when Wu Xin hesitated and struggled, another person walked over.

When he saw Wu Xin and Delia together, he immediately said with a disgusted expression, "Ah, warlock, always lazy guy. The little white face like the other warlocks, Sister Delia, I thought you would have a higher taste, and in the end you also liked these guys who eat by their faces,"

This person was short in stature and his face was covered with freckles, which Wu Xin didn't recognize, but he was angry when he got up, and he obviously slept lazy.

Delia ignored him at all, turned and left.

Wu Xin also left with Delia.

"Not all warlocks are nobles and rich people, he is still just a poor boy, and he has a good life with me." Despite being ignored, the dwarf was still shouting in the back.

"Bettencott, a native of France, his grandfather was a wealthy Parisian merchant, a fourth-class mage, and a first-class knight apprentice." Although Wu Xin didn't ask questions, Delia explained the origin of this guy in a few words.

Generally speaking, the status of a knight midshipman of the first class requires at least two front-line deployments of more than half a year.

And mages don't need to be like this, as long as they can cast third-level arcane arts, they can naturally become official knights.

And the mage who can cast the second-level arcane is a first-class knight trainee.

Wu Xin nodded: "Understood, toad." ”

“?” Delia looked at Wu Xin with a wonderful look in her eyes.

"Once upon a time there was a toad and a swan without sympathy......... Wu Xin told the story that was not romantic at all, and took out a lump with a coating from the grooming box and handed it to Delia: "When I was buying tooth powder yesterday, I saw this in the store. ”

Delia took it suspiciously, surprised by the touch on her hand, and she immediately put the thing to her nose and sniffed it: "Soap? ”

"Well, it's said to be a good product from Venice." Although Sherlock was blowing all over the sky, the soap was still a little too dry in Wu Xin's eyes.

But this stuff made with pine cones and spices has become a real luxury of its time.

Although she is an absolutely religious girl who is not obsessed with materialism and dressing, Delia still loves cleanliness.

However, such non-essential necessities were in short supply on the island, and the Order exempted food and cloth from taxes, and imposed heavy taxes on all luxury goods, so there was little input except for the acquiescence of senior seafarers such as the captain and first mate who could evade taxes.

Such a piece of soap is worth several thalers, and even if Wu Xin's economic situation has improved recently, he can't afford these things.

Deliya looked at Wu Xin thoughtfully, still so serious: "Why did you give me such an expensive thing?" ”

Wu Xin looked at her with a grin: "Swans can't be dirty. ”

A soft expression finally appeared on Delia's strong face: "The swan will worship, but it will not sympathize." ”

Delia said as she put away the soap, "Go to the playground?" ”

Wu Xin shook his head: "Wait a minute, you go with me to get to know the servants of the English group first." ”

"Yes, I actually want to go to you too." In fact, Delia is not a very high-minded person, she also wants to be close to her compatriots, she has been looking for English people in the church for a while, but unfortunately most of them have been too busy lately. "They're out in the dorms?"

"No, they're in the castle, drop by." Although Wu Xin tried to restrain himself, Delia still felt that he seemed to have a hint of a smile. "You and I go and meet them, there are two Welsh who need your attention."

"Oh, and the Celts here are all sorts of dissatisfied?" Delia immediately understood what Wu Xin meant. "They'd better not give me a chance to clean them up."

The Welsh were a branch of the Celts, who in antiquity were the dominant people throughout the British Isles, and although the Roman Empire destroyed their regime, the Romans, who were the representatives of civilization at that time, did not go further.

By the end of the Roman Empire, the Anglo-Saxons had crossed the sea and conquered three-quarters of the British Isles, unlike the Romans.

In the conquered lands, the Celts were mostly lost to history, except for those who retreated to Scotland and Wales.

So it is natural that the Irish and Scots do not identify with the Kingdom of England.

………………

Delia and Wu Xin did quickly find the servants of the other English groups, and they were inside the castle.

The English servants are cleaning the manure pits in the castle stables.

It would be more accurate to say that the brothers Giggs and Neville were cleaning the manure pits in the castle stables.

The three unlucky men were busy in the stinking dung pit with flying mosquitoes, and they had to brave the scorching sun and use shovels to lift the dung to the ground.

Keane then shoveled the dung into a manure truck, and the rest of the English crew pulled it out of the castle one by one.

"Cesare, Cesare, listen to me, we're really not in league with this damn Welshman."

"We are also the sons of His Majesty the King of England, and we are just blinded by him."

As soon as Wu Xin appeared, Brother Neville, who was covered in yellow and black, immediately cried loudly.

"You two lackeys, now remember that you are English? I saw you laughing so happily when you watched us dig up the dung with Ryan Giggs, and you couldn't remember that you were English. ”

"Shameless, let me say that you Manchester Yankees are scum of Celtic blood, and only we Londoners are truly loyal to Your Majesty."

Before Wu Xin could speak, several servants standing on the pit scolded them one after another, some of which were reasonable accusations, and some regional discrimination also came out.

Although the other English group followers are not having a good time, after all, they don't have to be tortured in waist-deep fecal water, and they are always much stronger in comparison.

There is always someone to do the dirtiest work, and in the past, Giggs and his cronies didn't do it, so naturally other subordinates did it.

Now that Wu Xin has won the position of squad leader, he will naturally hand over this "most important" job to Giggs.

It's just that the Neville brothers are wailing there, and Giggs doesn't make a sound at all.

Wu Xin endured the stench and poked his head out to take a look, the former leader of the English group didn't seem to hear Wu Xin coming, just buried his head there and shoveled feces.

Although there is no way to take Kevent for the time being, Wu Xin will not let Giggs have a better time.

In fact, in terms of the crimes he committed, it was a completely fair punishment to let him go to the bilge to paddle, and now in order to maintain the good situation of stability and unity of the Knights, it has been dealt with in a low-key manner.

Although the shoveling of manure may seem miserable, it is actually still considered lucky.

"Cesare, don't worry, you can leave it to me here." It was little Terry who spoke, his face and hands were also covered in feces, and although he had been authorized by Wu Xin to act as the squad leader, he did not evade work from above like Giggs in the past. "Before it gets dark today, the horse manure will definitely be poured into the sea."

At Wu Xin's insistence, he reluctantly accepted a monthly salary of one and a half thalers, but no matter how much he refused, he refused to accept it anyway.

"This is Delia, she's also a knight trainee in the English group, and she's also a priest." Wu Xin briefly introduced Delia, for a priest, of course, the servants of the English group are very respectful.

"I have heard that there are people here who deny that Wales is the inalienable and sacred territory of the great and glorious Kingdom of England, and who is it to stand up and show me?" Delia was unceremonious and directly stated her main purpose.

Her muscular muscles were extremely intimidating, but no matter how thin she was, Keane would not dare to resist a priest in such a situation.

"No, no, I have always considered myself Welsh and English, and His Majesty Henry is my sovereign." Keane's weak words made everyone despise, which was also Wu Xin's purpose, he wanted to establish prestige for himself and little Terry, although his status as a warlock was enough to suppress Keane, but adding a Delia would obviously work better.

"Brother Keane, it's great that you can say that, the Welsh are also subjects of His Majesty Henry." Wu Xin pretended to hold Keane's dirty hands. "Don't worry, Giggs is punished because he used to embezzle the dues of the Mutual Aid Society, and we will definitely treat the Keane brothers equally."

Giggs, of course, used the power in his hands to collect some more "attrition", and now this has become an excuse for Villefort to let Wu Xin toss him.

"Damn dog, garbage!" The servants spat under the manure pit, which was obviously nothing to Giggs, who was already half-buried in the filth, and he just continued to shovel the manure in silence.

This made Wu Xin a little regretful, his attitude made Wu Xin unable to enjoy himself, he didn't want Deliya to think she was cruel.

In fact, Wu Xin really doesn't think that he is a cruel person, he just has revenge, and if he loses, he holds a grudge, and if he wins, he will take revenge.

As for the noble character of being tolerant and generous, regardless of previous suspicions, when the situation is not good, Wu Xin doesn't mind supporting it.

Wu Xin thought for a while, and said a few more words to Terry before leaving with Delia.
