Bennett Castle, today is the last day of the year, and tomorrow is the New Year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At dinner, Knight Bennett took out a letter and a long package and handed it to Zack: "This is Abel's New Year's gift to you, and he is still good to you, neither I nor your mother have any gifts." ”

Probably thinking that his words were a little sour, Nala glanced at him and said, "The child has only been gone for less than a month, and you still remember to write to us, this is not easy, do you send a gift?"

Zach took the letter and the package, opened it first, and a large sword was revealed.

"This is a great sword made by a master. Pulling out the big sword from the scabbard, Zach recognized the sword at a glance, the Bailian big sword has always been priceless in the market, although the price of up to 1000 gold coins makes everyone smack, but there are still countless rich people with money bags rushing to buy.

The great sword is the standard weapon of the knight, when two knights fight, a knight with a hundred great swords can easily cut off the opponent's great sword, so that the opponent loses the weapon, and the consequences of losing the weapon in battle for the knight can be imagined.

Knight Bennett, who had just heard his wife Nala say that he was not bad for gifts, saw the hundred practice sword in Zack's hand, and he was still using the 80 practice sword, and couldn't help but want to say loudly: "I'm really short of a gift." ”

"Show me. "For a good weapon, as a knight is not resistant, from Zack's hand is better to take than to snatch the hundred training sword, Bennett Knight waved in the dining room, waving while saying: "Abel, this kid is really, just arrived at Harry Castle, take the castle things and give them away, I will write to him when I go back." ”

"Not really. Zach, who opened the letter and was reading it, said, "Abel said in the letter that this is the first weapon he forged, and he gave it to me as a New Year's gift. ”

The big sword in Knight Bennett's hand stopped in mid-air, stared at the letter in Zack's hand and asked, "The letter says that this big sword was forged by Abel himself?"

"Yes, Father, Abel is very clear in his letter. Zach replied affirmatively.

"How is it possible, Marshall studied blacksmithing for a year, and a year later he made a table knife that can only cut beef on the table, and Abel has only been there for a month, and he can forge a hundred training long swords?"

The New Year at Bennett Castle was spent in a strange atmosphere, Zack's surprise, Bennett's knight's remorse, Nala's thoughts, but all of this was unknown to Abel, who was at Harry Castle.

Harry Castle, Marshall Knight took Abel to Harvest City in a carriage to participate in the New Year's reception held by the city lord Viscount Dickens, the drinking party started in the evening, but Marshall Knight took Abel to set off early in the morning.

The road from Marshall's Knight's Castle to Harvest City is particularly well repaired, the whole road is made of small rocks leveled by the arc of the middle high and the sides are low, and the carriage runs on it with only a slight bumpy feeling, and the 100-mile journey takes only more than an hour to arrive.

From a distance, the city looks like a creeping tiger, only when you get closer, you can feel its majesty and magnificence, this is the largest city in the south of the Principality of Kamai, the 20-meter-high city walls, and the dozens of cannons loaded on the walls, all show the city's majesty.

"Uncle Marshall, why is Harvest City so well defended?" Abel couldn't help but ask a little strangely, looking at the 20-meter-high city wall and the large number of city guards on it.

This is the southernmost part of the Holy Continent, the hinterland of the human world, and there is a principality separated from the Orc Empire, which is known as the safest principality, why make the city a fortress of war?

"Abel, every fief in our Principality of Kamai is guarded by at least one official knight, and the esteemed lord of this harvest city in front of him, Viscount Dickens, is a knight chief. Marshall's eyes were a little confused, as if he was recalling some past events, and he sighed and continued: "The reason for this is all because of the Orc Empire. ”

"But the Orc Empire is in the far north, guarded by the Miracle Town garrisoned by the Human Alliance. "These Abel know that Miracle City can defend the orcs in the north so that the human kingdom can live safely.

In this world, the orcs are the most warlike people, their race's crazy birth, resulting in their frequent lack of food, in order to alleviate the food crisis, the orcs will start a war, on the one hand through war to grab food, on the other hand, to reduce the population.

The humans closest to the Orc Empire became the target of the Orcs, and in order to survive, the humans gathered all their efforts to build a military fortress in the Budapest Mountains, the only passage between human society and the Orc Empire, and this city was the Miracle City.

All humans know that as long as Miracle City is there, there is no need to worry about the invasion of orcs.

"In recent decades, the Orc Empire has added some of its attacks, using flying beasts that can carry people over the Budapest Mountains to wreak havoc on the rear of humans. Marshall Knight said in a somewhat skeptical tone: "Speaking of sabotage, I agree that this is a trial. ”

As he spoke, the carriage had arrived at the gate of Harvest City, a long line in front of the ten-meter-high gate was waiting to enter the city, and the front was the soldiers one by one to check, charge, and then let them go, the speed of the soldiers was not fast, if they lined up at this time, I am afraid that it would take an hour to enter the city.

But the carriage did not stop, and under the envious eyes of the crowd in line, the carriage entered the city directly from the other side.

This was the first time Abel felt the privilege of the nobility, and whether it was in Bennett Castle or Harry Castle, he felt that he was a child of a wealthy family relative to the people around him.

This makes Abel, who has slowly integrated into this world, still a little unaccustomed, in his original world, others line up, if you cut the line, others will look at you with contempt. And here, Abel didn't even get out of the carriage, and went straight into the city.

The carriage came to a courtyard, which was the temporary residence of the Marshall Knights in Harvest City, and as soon as they arrived at the courtyard gate, Robin, the housekeeper who stayed here, greeted him.

"Robin, Abel is going to live here for the next two days, clean up that independent yard, and it will be Abel's in the future. The Marshall knight dismounted from the carriage and commanded the butler.

"Yes, master. ”

The housekeeper Robin had long heard that the Marshall Knight had an adopted son, and directly became the heir of the castle, and now he heard the Marshall Knight's orders, it can be seen that the knight attaches great importance to this Young Master Abel, that independent courtyard is the best residence in addition to the master's residence, and the knight has become the private residence of Young Master Abel in a word.

"Abel, are you going with me to visit your friends, or are you going to visit Harvest City? ”

Seeing Abel's somewhat hesitant expression, Knight Marshall couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, you don't need to ask, I will arrange for Robin to accompany you to visit Harvest City." ”

For his adopted son Abel, the Marshall knight seemed to attach great importance to it, and did not force Abel, but he knew Abel's choice when he saw Abel's expression, and the knight respected Abel's opinion.

Rejecting Robin, the butler's request to be accompanied, Abel rode alone and looked at the shops on both sides of the street as he walked, the streets of Harvest City were very wide, probably because of the New Year, and there were many pedestrians on the streets.

As he was walking, there was a noisy voice in front of him, the sound was very familiar, and he drove the horse towards the noisy place, and saw Zach arguing with three young men in leather armor, and standing next to him was a young blonde girl, seventeen or eighteen years old, smart and playful, smiling with a cunning taste in her eyes, watching Zach and the three young men arguing with interest.

"Big brother!" Abel's voice was a little excited, and he was surprised to see his family here, and he jumped off his horse and pulled the reins to Zack.

"Abel!" Zach saw Abel and came up with a tight hug.

Letting go of Abel, Zach turned his head to the three young men and said, "This is my brother Abel. ”

Then he said to Abel, "This is Martin, Joshua, and Bob." ”

The young girl gave Abel a ladylike salute and introduced herself with a chuckle, "Hello, my name is Emily. Emily looked Abel up and down with some curiosity.

Abel replied, seeing the eldest brother Zack peeking at Emily's expression, he smiled secretly in his heart, the eldest brother has reached the age of love, and he already has a girl he likes, do you want to write a letter to tell your mother.

Martin didn't seem to expect Abel to be so young, and he lost his mind for a moment before asking in a tone of uncertainty: "You are the Abel who helped Zack forge a hundred great swords?"

Abel smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”

"It's really you!" Martin immediately gave a very enthusiastic salute and said, "I'm glad I would! I didn't expect you to be so young." ”

It can be seen that Martin is a very talkative person, and his personality is also very cheerful, and he feels very easy to get along with, and Abel has a very good impression of him.
