Chapter 22: Assault
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a figure flashed out of the carriage, it was the Marshall knight holding a big sword, and the servant who rushed in front had already arrived in front of the coachman and was about to cut at the coachman, the Marshall knight's big sword flashed a white fighting spirit, and the servant was split into two pieces from head to toe, together with the horse under him, and the blood was like exploding, spraying out a few meters away, and several servants who followed behind were drenched in the blood rain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They were stunned that the knight of Marshall was not stunned, the knight jumped from the carriage and slashed at the neck of one of the servants with a great sword in the air, and before the servant could even react, his head flew out, flipped in the air and landed in front of Joshua's horse.
Joshua was stunned by what he saw, and his body went limp, and the man fell off his horse.
And at this moment, the other 10 servants were slashed and killed by the Marshall Knight, 5 of them were no longer on the horse, and the long sword had been thrown on the ground, the opponent was a formal knight who used fighting spirit, which made them all lie on the ground and tremble, the strength of the knight is the memory of these ordinary people deep in the bone marrow.
Abel was also frightened by the Marshall Knight's shot, furious, direct, and fast This is the impression that Marshall Knight gave him, which is very different from the usual knight who is always smiling.
"You...... You are a knight, I am the eldest son of Lord Joel, and I ask for the treatment of a noble prisoner of war. Joshua stammered a little to the Marshall Knight.
The treatment of noble prisoners of war was a unique way of dealing with noble prisoners of war in this era.
First of all, according to the rules of the knighthood, if the knight behaves honorably in the face of the enemy, the knight's victory or defeat is not so important. Therefore, as long as they fought valiantly, it was not a shame for a knight to be captured.
Secondly, most of the knights were of economic and political status, and after they were captured, they were released on the condition of a ransom. For example, if a superior lord is captured, the lower knight has an obligation to take himself hostage and pay a ransom.
In the end, there were many battles and victories, and who could guarantee that it would not be them who would be captured next time? Therefore, treat the captives well and release them on the condition of ransom.
The Marshall Knight looked at the midshipman in front of him with a sneer, who had collapsed to the ground without a fight, and considered whether to dispose of him as a noble prisoner of war.
"Joshua?" At this time, Abel jumped down from the carriage and saw Joshua on the ground, he really did not expect that because of the slightest little contradiction, this noble son would bring someone to attack him.
"Do you know?" Knight Marshall vaguely knew the reason for the attack, but even if there was a conflict in the city, and then led people to attack and kill the other party, the knight rarely heard of it, but the knight still handed over the disposal to Abel, which was also a good opportunity to cultivate Abel's ability, so he continued: "Abel, you can make up your mind about this matter." ”
Abel didn't care about Joshua's life or death, but it didn't do him much good to ask for Joshua's life, so it was better to have more benefits, and Marshall Knights wouldn't be too much gold.
"Then bring it back to the castle, Joshua, and you'll be treated like a noble prisoner of war. ”
Hearing Abel's disposition, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Marshall's knight's mouth, and Abel did not choose to pay a ransom for the sake of his hatred but for the development of the castle.
Abel's idea is actually very simple, Joshua's strength is too poor, it is impossible to become his opponent at all, if Joshua is a formal knight, then he will choose what noble prisoner of war treatment, and the dead enemy is a good enemy.
Then it was Abel's business, and he untied the belts of the five servants and tied their hands behind their backs.
With the exception of the hapless horse, who had been cut in two by the sword of the Marshall knight, the other 11 horses were lined up with the help of the coachman, and the captives were thrown into the saddle, while he himself rode the fiery red horse and followed.
Joshua was placed on the first horse, and the belt was also pulled out by Abel, although his hands were not tied, but as long as Joshua dared to run, his pants would fall off, and then again, as long as Joshua was not stupid as a pig, he would never run away in front of a full-fledged knight.
Only now did Joshua know that he had attacked the owner of Harry Castle, and that Abel, whom he called the little blacksmith, was the heir of Harry Castle, and Joshua's idea was to hack to death the servant who was in charge of monitoring Abel when he returned.
After returning to Harry's Castle, Abel handed over the captives to the butler Lindsay, and then the handover of the captives and the payment of the ransom were discussed by the butler Lindsay with the other party's butler, as a nobleman, they would not ask about these things, and the ransom paid was justified, according to Joshua's identity and the consequences of his crimes, everything would be left to the stewards themselves to negotiate.
Abel returned to his old life, practicing every morning, going to the blacksmith shop after breakfast, and returning to the castle in the evening to practice the knight's breathing method, and then resting.
In this way, a month passed step by step, this month Abel forged 5 hundred swords, but they were all used in the world's techniques, and did not use special carburizing and quenching methods, and the decent system made Master Bentham very happy, no matter how good your secret skills are, the foundation is the most important, Abel's behavior of attaching importance to the foundation has been praised by Master Bentham.
That morning, Master Bentham stopped Abel: "Abel, follow me. ”
Master Benthham's room was in the middle of the master's special workshop, and when he entered the room, the master took out a huge and heavy book from an iron box in the corner of the wall and put it on the table, and said to Abel: "My teacher is Master Robin, the master of dwarven forging, and that year humans and dwarves reached an agreement to fight against orcs together, and I was sent to the dwarf clan to learn blacksmithing because of my forging talent. ”
As if recalling the events of that time, Master Benthham's eyes were a little confused, and he recounted the events of that year in an almost muttered way:
"It was the best time to learn something new every day, the dwarven forging technique has been developed into a unique forging technique through the dwarves' innate forging talent and tens of thousands of years of exploration, and legend has it that the most powerful dwarven craftsman once helped the gods forge artifacts.
And Mr. Robin can forge magic weapons in addition to ordinary weapons, and when I first saw magic weapons, I told myself that that was what I wanted to learn, and that was my life's goal.
Teacher Robin taught me a lot of things without reservation, and when I learned this, I asked Teacher Robin to learn magic weapons, but Teacher Robin told me that I had no talent for forging magic weapons. ”
Speaking of this, Master Bentham looked a little excited, and he continued, "At the end of my studies, the teacher gave me my last hope, which is this magic weapon forging book. ”
"After I came back, I looked around for the reason why I couldn't forge magic weapons, and finally found that only spiritual power can trigger the formation in the process of forging magic weapons, and the owners of spiritual power have basically become wizards, who will come to learn forging until I meet you. ”
Hearing the word wizard, Abel's heart moved, hadn't he been looking for news of the wizard, this was the first time he had clearly heard the news of magic?
"I'm too old to have a chance to craft a magic weapon in my life, but you're my student, and I want you to make one. Master Bentham had a look of supplication in his eyes.
"Master, I'll do my best. Able nodded earnestly.
Master Bentham held the huge, heavy book of magic weapons forging in his hands with an almost reverent attitude.
Abel took the book and held it very heavily in his hand, as in the legend, the dwarves were short, but they always considered themselves to be the descendants of giants, so everything they had was as great as possible.
And this book is the perfect embodiment of this tradition, open the page, the content of the book is also very direct, the first page of fire attribute magic weapons, the middle of the front and back of a sword is drawn, on which are strange runes, there is a groove on the hilt, on which is written to install fire magic stone, the last row is written the function of fire attribute weapons, the configuration of fire rune magic potions, can provide fire damage to weapons.
The second page is the ice magic weapon, which is also the same drawing of the front and back of a sword, strange runes and grooves, but it is required to install a water magic power stone, and the last row is written with the function of the ice magic weapon, and the configuration of the ice rune magic potion can provide slowdown and ice damage for the weapon.
The third page is an electric magic weapon, and the fourth page is a poison magic weapon.
The book is only four pages in total, and Abel complained about the dwarves who made this book, and the content of the four pages turned into such a bulky book, but when he saw Master Bentham's pious appearance, he didn't dare to show it.
