Chapter 10: Departure
It was a cold morning in early December, but the Bennett Castle was very busy today, and when the servants got up in the morning, the servants were busy cleaning the carriage, feeding the two horses that pulled the carriage with soybeans and hanging a sky-blue ornamental pendant on the horse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info while the servants trimmed their weapons, cleaned their leather armor and boots, and the knight Bennett's war horse was also carefully combed by them and replaced with a gorgeous saddle.
By the time Abel and his servants had carried their suitcases out of the room, a noble guard of honor consisting of six pikemen and a carriage that was not ornate but very clean was already waiting in front of the castle.
The pikemen wore uniform sky-blue cloth armor, half-height leather boots on their feet, a sky-blue cloth hat on their heads, and held a three-meter spear, the equipment of the whole body was only these three-meter spears were real military supplies, and the others were made by the castle tailors. At the tips of the two pikemen standing at the front are two flags with the pattern of the Bennett family's thorn shield.
The carriage was not overly decorated, except that the curtains and door curtains were also replaced with sky blue. Sky blue is the main color of the thorn coat of arms, so on formal occasions, the castle is mainly decorated in sky blue.
While Abel was loading the box into the carriage, his father, Knight Bennett, came out of the castle on his horse, followed by his mother, Nala, whose eyes were full of tears, and the eldest brother supported her.
Knight Bennett looked very solemn, the shining silver-white armor on his body reflected the cold light in the sunlight, there was no helmet on his head, the helmet, shield and sword were hung on the side of the saddle, his hair was simply tied into a ponytail, the cold wind blew, and his hair danced with the cold wind.
The shield hanging from the outermost part of the saddle, the sky-blue thorn shield coat of arms covered the entire shield, and the sky-blue sword scabbard reflected in the sky-blue scabbard.
Mother didn't speak, as if she had finished the previous night, but looked at Abel like she looked at the most beautiful treasure in the world.
The eldest brother Zach knew that one day Abel would leave the castle, this is a tradition, no one will break it, so he usually cares and loves his only brother, but he didn't expect this day to come so early. Zach walked up to Abel and held Abel in his arms, so strong that even Abel, who was in the same realm as him, felt the pressure.
"Remember to come back when you have time, this is your home. The eldest brother, who usually talks a lot, didn't say much at this time, but this affectionate sentence made Abel's already peaceful heart almost out of control.
The winter morning sun did not make people feel warm, the wind was a little strong, the banner with the family thorn shield pattern in the team was blown and hunted, Abel did not sit in the carriage, but rode the horse that was almost three years old and followed the middle of the team, the set of iron armor given by his father was too big, at this time he was wearing a cowhide armor lined with wool, and on his back was a light long sword, the weight of this sword was actually too light for him, and the gift given by his father was not very practical for him who was already level four。
Abel looked back at his mother Nala, who was still in front of the castle to see the convoy leave, and Zach who was holding her, and immediately turned his head again, he was afraid that if he looked back, tears would fall uncontrollably.
There were not many people in the convoy when leaving, because they had to leave a part of the servants and guards, so they only brought 6 pikemen, a coachman, plus Bennett Knight and Abel, a total of 9 people, and Norman, who went to Fort Lee Town with Abel last time, stayed to protect the castle after Bennett Knight left the castle, as the second master of the territory.
What is explained here is that knights, as the lowest level of nobility, are not qualified to be knights' subordinates, loyalty, reliability, strong force, and status cannot be lowly These are all important conditions.
Like Norman in the Bennett family, he followed the knights from the battlefield to fight bravely, and after his loyalty was recognized by the knights, he found out the secret art of warriors from the family lineage and taught him, made him a full-fledged warrior, and upgraded his status from an ordinary guard to a knight with a higher status than ordinary civilians.
And many wandering knights want to find a chance to become a knight of the fiefdom knight, from which you can see the identity of the knight, you must know that after the knight pays his loyalty, the knight is responsible for all the expenses of the waiter, including weapons, armor and the placement of the family, so whether it is to be a waiter himself or a knight to include a waiter is to be cautious and cautious, maybe in the next battle, this waiter will save you, or harm you.
The convoy traveled for six hours, except for a half-hour break at noon, the rest of the time was on the move, and no one along the way did not bother a noble convoy led by knights, even those beasts of prey would feel that the Bennett knights were like a dormant active volcano, and at any time there was a mood of great destructive power, and bypassed the convoy.
This is the farthest Abel has been from home, whether it is the 11 years in his memory, or the nearly 2 years since he came to this world, because it is winter, the scenery on the road is not attractive, only some evergreen plants dot the gray land.
Fortunately, there was no snow, although these dirt roads were a little dusty for people and horses to walk on, but they were much better than the mud after rain or snow, and Abel had heard that the roads in those prosperous areas were paved with large rocks, which reminded him of the concrete roads on earth.
Able thought that if he made cement, the roads would be as hard as the rock-paved roads. Patting his head, he told himself in his heart not to think about those inventions and creations, and that if he didn't have the strength, he would harm himself and his family, just like the castle water diversion system that was shelved by the Bennett knights.
As a person with modern education, Abel obviously felt that his thinking was much more active than the boy in his memory, and even more active than when he was on Earth, which is also the reason why he mastered the knightly skills quickly, not only the knightly skills, but also some other aristocratic etiquette and cultural knowledge that he could easily learn and remember, and sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if this was the physical benefit brought by his crossing.
The road ahead of him changed from a dirt road to a gravel road, and the road surface was much smoother, and the knight Bennett turned his head and pointed to the road in front of him and said to Abel: "This is the characteristic of Marshall Knight, especially for face, he demands the best of everything, if it weren't for the fact that this is a plain and there are no mountains to mine boulders, then he would have made this road a boulder road." ”
Looking at the polished glowing armor on his father, Knight Bennett, and the sky blue decorations specially prepared for today, as well as the brand-new equipment on those pikemen, Abel wanted to say, Father, if you have money, you must have a better face than Marshall Knight.
