Chapter 70: Deserved
Chapter 70: Deserved
The crowd around was silent.
Amid the cheers and the bustling flow of people in the distance, this area of the gray-white three-story street on Belink Street seemed to freeze.
Whether it was the instructor of the E team, the students, or the passers-by around him, they all looked at Roy in shock, as if they were looking at a madman, while Seawalker and his aristocratic friends beside him gritted their teeth, and their faces were blue and white.
Being thrown in the face by Roy is an unbearable humiliation for anyone. Not to mention the children of the nobility like them! What made them especially angry was that this was on the day when Archduke Adolf returned to the city, on the streets of this victory celebration, in full view of everyone!
If it weren't for Haisen and the others by their side, they would have to do it on the spot and kill this damn civilian!
After the silence, there was a commotion in the crowd.
Everyone has heard of this kind of thing in the training camp.
They had long heard that in the three major training camps, the way the noble cadets dealt with the commoner cadets who offended them, in addition to using the power outside the academy, they preferred to use this method of endless challenges to take revenge, until the opponent's knighthood career was engraved with indelible shame in one defeat after another.
Although this kind of retaliation is somewhat cruel to civilian cadets, it is not a strange thing.
A commoner is a commoner, and a nobleman is a nobleman. From the day they were born, commoners were well aware of the difference between themselves and their noble peers. Knowing that a noble child can beat himself half to death, his parents have to kneel and beg for forgiveness, and even if he scratches a little skin of a noble child, it is an unforgivable sin.
When they grow up, they must also be reminded of their status in their own lives, always worry about their pitiful rights, pray that their wives will not be favored by a certain noble lord, that their children will not cause trouble, that their lords will not raise taxes, and that they will be grateful to be able to live in a land ruled by a generous and benevolent lord.
No one thinks there's anything wrong with that.
At least, the law gave them a little more power and dignity than the slaves who could be bought and sold at will. Most lords, for the sake of their own rule, will not force civilians to death.
And more importantly, they can become part of the nobility through their own struggles.
Becoming a knight is the dream of every commoner's child. It is also the only door for them to get rid of their commoner status and break through the strict hierarchy and enter the aristocracy. This glittering golden door is a gift from the Holy Emperor and the light of hope for life. It is the obedience and hard work of the parents, and the children enter the castle at the age of six to be scolded by others.
If you want to become a knight, you should naturally pay a price.
In the lord's castle, the commoner children must first learn how to deal with the nobles.
They learn vindictive martial arts, learn to write and do simple calculations, learn horseback riding and basic etiquette, and also learn to bargain. And more importantly, they had to learn how to obey their lords, how to understand the rules of the nobility, how to know their status, and what to say and what not to say.
They poured wine for the nobles at the table, washed the horses for the nobles in the backyard, drove the chariots for the noble ladies and ladies, held spears and shields for the knights on the battlefield, and when one day, they finally became knights, and they also had to put on their own armor to fight for the lord and defend the honor and dignity of the lord when the lord needed it.
Even sometimes, it's just the lord fighting another nobleman at a banquet.
This is the path that commoners must go through if they want to become knights. ..., no nobleman is willing to let a barbarian who does not understand the rules enter the world they dominate, and no nobleman will watch someone challenge or break their rules. The usual practice of the noble lords to deal with the disobedient thorn-headed apprentice was to simply drive him out of his castle and deprive him of the right to become a knight.
And this qiē, in the three major training camps, is much better.
At least the school rules of equal status for all cadets left behind by Grand Duke Solan still serve to isolate the secular hierarchy from the academy. Let the noble students have to deal with the civilian students who offend them according to certain rules, instead of dealing with them at will like dealing with the people in their own territory.
Therefore, even if everyone understood that the status, wealth, and family inheritance of the children of the nobility were completely unfair to the commoners, no one was surprised by the challenge of the noble cadets. But what everyone didn't expect was that a group of second-year aristocratic students would actually give a full thirty war letters to a first-year freshman!
This so-called challenge, even in the eyes of civilians, is a bit unseemly unseemly.
And what shocked them even more was the qiē made by the boy who looked honest and confused on the outside, after taking the challenge book.
When he threw the battle book on the other party's face, although he didn't look graceful, to be honest, he was really cool at this moment. Especially the smile on his face, with a hint of hideous expression, made his honesty disappear without a trace in an instant. Like a tame puppy that suddenly bares its fangs.
I don't know why, although no one believes that a freshman of commoners can get anything good at the hands of a group of noble cadets. However, at this moment, everyone suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, as if this dark-haired boy had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It's like a hunter waiting for his prey to step into a trap.
"Why are you staring at me, trying to beat me? It's not a place either. Don't worry, there is a chance," in the crowd, Roy looked into Seawalker's eyes and said leisurely: "I told you before, whoever stops challenging is a son of a bitch." He stepped forward and stomped on an open challenge book, "This is the beginning." ”
"When the time comes, we'll see who cries," Seawalker gritted his teeth and endured under the gaze of everyone around him. He pointed at Roy with his finger and nodded lightly, Huo Ran turned around: "Let's go." ”
The city has become a sea of joy.
The crowds on both sides of the Avenue of Glory cheered and jumped as if they were crazy.
In front of them, the troops entering the city, lined up in a neat queue, entered the south gate. At the forefront, of course, were Archduke Adolf and his most beautiful little daughter, Sophia, riding on horseback.
Today, Grand Duke Adolf is dressed in silver armor and draped in a black coat. Although he was over fifty years old, the glorious knight still had a straight waist and a body as strong and energetic as a young man.
Beside him, Sophia was not wearing her fiery red armor with ice blue magic patterns, but wearing a casual dress. Her long blonde hair was braided and tied up on her head. Under the high combed sideburns, the graceful neck is exposed. Under a blue high-waisted jacket embroidered with lace is a flexible and slender waist. Wearing white tight breeches and riding boots, the legs are even more slender.
The two of them, accompanied by four confidants, including the captain of the guard, Karn, and the commander of the Muni City Guard, Fano, walked slowly, waving to the cheering crowd all the way.
Immediately behind Archduke Adolf and Sophia were several mercenaries dressed in ordinary linen clothes. Needless to say, this is the protagonist who has appeared countless times in people's conversations, the soldiers of the 121st squad of the rabble. ..., a man in his forties, rode a horse at the front of the squad.
It is known that Sean, the leader of the 121 squad, was a senior "old horse" in the mercenary community in Edding City before joining the rabble. In this war, this man, who was respected by the mercenaries, lost his wife and children. The purpose of his entry into the battlefield was not to get promoted and make a fortune, but to avenge his loved ones.
That would be his only goal for the rest of his life.
After the old bear Sean, people are also like a few treasures. Red wine, prawns, knives and greyhounds, these are the main forces of the 121 squad. At the beginning of Medin City, who didn't have a dozen lives in his hands?
When a young fat man appeared in people's field of vision with the 121 squad, the cheers of the crowd were even more deafening.
"Little watermelon!"
"Little watermelon, good job!"
People called Tang Xiaoben's nickname, waved their hands at the little fat man in the first training camp, and threw handfuls of flowers at him. In the cheers, the voices of some girls can be heard from time to time.
"Little watermelon, I love you. ”
Tang Xiaoben, who has always been thick-skinned, looked a little shy at this time. He only smirked and followed the team, waving at everyone from time to time.
Next to the dozen or so people of the 121 squad were thirty heavily armed black knights. As long as the Lulian knows that this is the top Munich knight in the Bavarian knights under the command of Archduke Adolf. They were the elite of the elite under the command of the Grand Duke of Loulian, the symbol and glory of Lulian's armed forces.
Thirty Munich knights, each of whom had a baron title or higher, were nobles in the truest sense of the word. Usually, not to mention ordinary civilians, even many lords see them, and they are also respectful. And now, they appeared in front of the people as the guide and protector of Team 121, and this scene immediately caused a sensation in the entire Muni City.
This is not only the glory of the 121 team, but also makes all the people's blood boil.
After that, there are the knights of the Momiji Knights. These knights, dressed in silver armor and embroidered with red leaf markings on their large hats, were divided into twenty rows of five people each. Led by Philip, ride on horseback. The bright armor, the sharp riding spear, and the spear flag with the tip of the spear waving in the wind made many children's eyes widen, full of awe and longing.
Being able to be ranked as one of the five major knights of the empire, the Momiji Knights show a true elite demeanor in front of people. Not only were they dressed and armed identically, but they also sat down with the same pace. The rows of horses raised at the same time and fell at the same time, bringing people a kind of extreme rigor and elegance.
It can be imagined how hard such a team trains on weekdays and how strict the discipline is. When they charged, anyone would be terrified by their neatly laid mounted spears.
Although the Momiji Knights did not participate in the Battle of Medin City, the information brought back by Philip and the heroic battles in Lulian since the Knights went south have already conquered all the Lurians. Wherever they passed, the crowd applauded and cheered, and many girls rushed forward and stuck roses in their armor.
The Momiji Knights were followed by the Munich Guard, the Rabble Brigade, the Bavarian Knights, the Coastal Mercenary Regiment, and other soldiers who participated in the battle. The team of more than 2,000 people was four or five hundred meters long
"It's coming, it's coming!"
When the procession into the city reached Freedom Square, the crowd in the square suddenly erupted into a burst of screams.
The nobles who were watching the ceremony all stood up from their chairs and looked to the south. The trainees of the first training camp who were named by Grand Duke Adolf in the area closest to the celebration stage were even more excited.
"Look, it's Miss Sophia. "My Holy Emperor, she is so beautiful." ”
"Look, Rabble 121 Squad. Tang Xiaoben is there, oh my God, it was the Munich knights who opened the way for them. ”
All the students were so excited that their faces were red and their eyes were shining. This victory celebration was the most spectacular scene these young people had ever seen in their lives. And among the thousands of people, among the countless high-profile heroes, one of them is a student who belongs to the first training camp. What could be more proud?
"Tang Xiaoben, Tang Xiaoben!"
The first training camp supporters around the square erupted into a neat shout.
"Tang Xiaoben is in the limelight now. ”
"Look, look at the guys in the second and third training camps, their eyes are red. ”
"We've been red for so many years, and it's their turn to be red. Don't say red, even green should be!"
"Let them be jealous! The little watermelon is a military exploit earned by his own ability! I heard that in that battle, the little watermelon killed more than a dozen Feilie soldiers, including two knights!"
"That's it. The little watermelon has this military feat, and there is absolutely no water. I heard that the magician at that time was fighting side by side with the little watermelon. When the magician unleashed the last dance of the crows, the little watermelon was by his side to help him fend off the enemies rushing at him. That's a life-and-death relationship!"
The students were chattering and talking excitedly.
Listening to the cheers of the fans of the first training camp, and then looking at the jealous red eyes of the students of the second and third training camps on the edge of the square, everyone felt a sense of raising their eyebrows!
It's a pity that even with Tang Xiaoben here, the first training camp didn't recruit that mysterious magical boy into the academy. Otherwise, today's first training camp will be very beautiful. At that time, not to mention the students of the second and third training camps, even the teachers who are now pretending to be indifferent, I am afraid that their eyes will be green.
Kameni stood at the front of the queue, heard the discussion of the students next to him, and couldn't help but look at Roy in the distance.
After witnessing the conflict between Roy and a group of second-year nobles, Haysen, who was afraid of the quick revenge of Siwalker's gang, ordered Roy to join the freshman group and go together. However, Haysom didn't separate Roy from a few friends around him, and now Roy, Nicole and the others are standing on the edge of the crowd at the first training camp, out of place.
Kameni had heard a little about the aristocratic cadets encouraging others to exclude Roy and Nicole.
This kind of thing is also common in the general camp. Having seen a lot, he also knew that the children of the nobility never wanted to have competitors. This rejection is especially strong when these competitors are commoners who will become new aristocrats in the future, will be on an equal footing with them, and may even compete for their own interests.
But who would have thought that the chief hero of the great victory of Medin in the mouths of the students was Roy, who was excluded by them.
Looking at the dark-haired boy who stood quietly in the crowd with a thin body, Kameni suddenly felt a little sorry.
In his opinion, Roy's situation in the first training camp has something to do with him. Although he still can't get used to Roy's casualness with the knighthood and his cheating in the entrance exam, the fact that he was the hero of the Battle of Medin City is truly unquestionable.
It happened that on the day of admission, Philip, who had come to the academy with Karn, told him himself.
At first, Roy didn't even say anything about Philip in Medin City, and it was only when Kahn approached Philip and asked him about Roy that Philip found out.
Kameni couldn't understand why Roy was hiding this great honor. It's like he couldn't understand why this guy with such a talent for magic that Gustas wanted to take him as his student why he wanted to be a knight. ..., in Roy's body, Kameni saw too many contradictions.
He remembered that the first time he met him, he hadn't even condensed the battle ring. And just ten days later, when I saw him on the entrance day, he already had the strength to arm one star.
At the age of eighteen, he hadn't broken through the first order, and he was able to condense the battle ring in ten days, which made Kameni a little incomprehensible.
Another thing I don't understand is that this guy obviously only has an almost casual attitude towards knights, but no matter what challenges and setbacks he encounters, he insists on walking on this path. Listening to Hayson talk about the battle between the kid and the senior student that day, he didn't use his magic all the time.
And with his magical strength, ten Xiang Feng is no match for him!
Maybe it was because of Roy's previous move to accept thirty challenge letters, or maybe it was the appearance of him standing quietly outside the crowd as a hero, I don't know why, at this moment, Kameni's mind thought about many things that he had never thought about before.
"Roy. Kameni suddenly exclaimed.
Roy turned his head to look.
"Come here, stand here. Kameni said with a blank face.
Although a little confused, Roy honestly walked towards Kameni.
Haisen, who was standing behind Kameni, watched in amazement as Roy walked through the queue of freshmen of Team E who was looking sideways, and didn't understand what was wrong with Kameni, who had always been looking at Roy's nose and eyes were not eyes. This is the closest place to the celebration stage, and it is also the place where the instructors and the best students of the first training camp are qualified to stand.
He called Roy over, yes
Roy walked up to Kameni and asked, "Is there anything wrong, Mr. Kameni?" ”
"It's nothing," Hayson pricked up his ears to hear Kameni's low voice, "as the greatest hero of Medin City, you deserve it." ”.
It must be admitted that the plot behind it has not been clarified until now. I know what to write, but when the things I want to write are intertwined, I don't know how to write it. My hesitation, just don't want to write rotten.
As a very serious writer, I am very serious about asking for votes here. On Monday, the brothers recommended the ticket to the top. Put the ruling on the front page. Thank you.
