Verse 467: Three I's
By the time the camp was set up and the simple protective measures were in place, it was completely dark.
Siam is notorious, and the road to Siam is also inaccessible, but there is a benefit, that is, there will be no trace of man in this mountain forest, and the goods are very rich, and the two warriors have gained a lot, and they have brought out the carcasses of two mountain deer, so today's dinner is very rich, and even those slaves have benefited, although there is no meat to eat, they have also received a mouthful of broth.
After dinner, the soldiers of the team were assigned the shift of tonight's vigil under the command of Don En, and they went to rest, and the rest of the team also prepared to rest early, but Tang En did not rest, but ordered a subordinate to do things, and he waited in the same place.
As an experienced knight, although Donne's status is not lower than that of Temples, he is not as particular as Baron Temples, and he must have a stool to sit on in this wilderness. So now he sat on the ground, aimlessly holding a piece of firewood and picking up the fire in front of him, thinking about the next trip.
Although he had never been to Siam, the legend about Siam had calluses in his ears.
It was a magical land on the continent, and although nominally part of the kingdom of Augustus, Siam in the far west was a notoriously chaotic land at the end of the three realms of Preston, Blogging Dragon, and Kaibaren. The large number of alien races that have disappeared from the mainland and the fact that there is no trace of it in the mainland, combined with the unique geographical and administrative environment, and the fact that there is no profit to be made, make the dominance of the Three Lords in Siam almost equal to zero.
In history, the lords of the three lords have also been proud, and have launched attacks on this unique territory one after another, wanting to bring this territory into their rule, but Siham, which has a history older than the United Kingdom of Augustus, relies on strong strength. The unique geographical environment repelled their attacks one by one, so that the three lords in history not only failed to achieve their desired goals, but instead lost their troops, and even caused a chain reaction, triggering civil strife within their territory, making the ruling families of the three lords almost change dynasties. Since then, the lords of the three realms no longer dare to think anything about this magical realm, and have acquiesced to Siam's unique status with one eye closed.
Donn's choice of refuge in Siam this time is also based on this reason.
Don is a native of Preston, and at a time when the Dragons have invaded Pencoe and will spread the war to Preston next door and further north, Siam is undoubtedly his best refuge option now, at least better than staying in Preston to face the Dragons.
It's not that Don is cowardly, in fact, he is very heroic, otherwise he would not have dared to come to Siam. It's just that it's really not a wise move to confront the dragons head-on, especially if the other party still has that Grim Reaper.
Thinking of the Grim Reaper, Don's hand holding the wood root to stir the fire trembled unconsciously.
Tang En has not experienced wars, although the kingdom is generally stable, but the battles between the various lords and even the nobles have never stopped, and Tang En has experienced a lot. He'd ever had one of the biggest battles, and the total number of people on both sides was close to 10,000, but he'd never seen anything like it.
The land was scorched in patches, the glaciers had not thawed for a long time, as if sharp bones and teeth had been born from hell all over the wilderness, and the ruins were everywhere, and it was already a dead city.
Countless corpses were piled up in the dead city, some exposed, so corrupted that they could not recognize their original faces, some were trapped in the glacier, and the frightened appearance before death was still very clear, the children who were less than ten years old were pierced by the huge bone teeth on the ground, and the corpses of the old people who were dying were torn apart, and they had been eaten away by unknown beasts until only sparkling white bones and stumps of flesh remained......
There were many dead people under Donn's men, and he had seen many dead people, but he had never seen so many dead people, and most of them were old and weak women and children, and ordinary civilian men who knew at a glance that they were not soldiers. After seeing it, Donn, a battle-hardened knight, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but no matter where he went, all he saw were dead corpses, it was completely a world composed of corpses and death, and he couldn't escape it at all.
Hell is nothing more than that, right?
It was the first time that Donn had a concrete impression of the word "hell", which had never appeared only in the mouths of the scriptures and monks, and all of this was done by the "Sage Lord" who had been recited by all the peoples—of course, he now had a new name, Death, Demon, Insulter, Traitor, etc.
If he had to fight, Don would rather face an unknown enemy in Siam than fight an enemy like that......
"Donne-sama, he's here. ”
A voice interrupted Donn's thoughts, awakening him from his old memories.
Looking up, there were two people standing in front of Don, one was the warrior he had summoned before, and the other was a very tall man with ragged hair and a knotted beard, the same slave that Don had wanted to buy.
"Alright, you go and rest. ”
After Don sent the fighter away, he didn't even move half a minute of his feet, and stood up directly from the ground, inadvertently showing superb physical power skills.
Donn was tall, much taller than the average man—in fact, there were few short knights in the entire kingdom—but he was still a head short in front of the slave in front of him. Don was also strong and burly, but judging from the width of his body, he was not as wide as the slave in front of him.
He was really a good seedling of a knight, Don thought so in his heart, but when his gaze swept over the loose fat revealed under the other party's shirt, he still sighed a little in his heart.
It would be even better if those were strong muscles, which was the only fly in the ointment, but overall it was very satisfying for Donn.
"We've already told you before, starting today, you're going to follow me through a series of combat techniques. ”
Tang En saw that the slave in front of him was still unfazed, with no expression on his face, for fear that the other party would not understand what this meant, and specially added: "This is an excellent opportunity for you, if you can study hard, with your physical condition, I believe that you will soon be a qualified warrior, and when the time comes, I believe that you will no longer be a slave, and even, it is possible to become a real knight!"
As a silver knight, Tang En also has a wealth of experience in domination, and he is also very familiar with it. In the past, if he said this, the other party would at least be surprised if he didn't say that he was enthusiastic, but the slave in front of him didn't know if he was an idiot, and after he said this, he was still unmoved, and the expression on his face did not change...... Oh, I'm sorry, the slave's face was so dirty, and he was full of hair and beard, and he couldn't see exactly what the expression on the other man's face was, but it was still very calm in general.
The slave ended up just "oh" in response to Donn's words.
I probably haven't seen much of the world, so I don't know what it really means to be a knight, right?
Don thought so in his heart, but he didn't bother to speculate, and kicked directly with his foot, kicking a sword that had been placed in advance at his feet in front of the slave.
"Pick up the sword. ”
Don said, drawing the sword from his waist as well.
After seeing the slave bend down and pick up the sword, Don En spoke, but did not directly start the combat teaching, but said something seemingly meaningless: "The weapon is an extension of a warrior's body, and temporarily changing the weapon will affect your performance, and the enemy who was able to kill with a sword in the past is likely to be unable to kill the other party because of the change in the weight of the weapon you temporarily replaced, the length and width of the weapon, and other factors, but will be killed by the other party, so your weapon will be fixed in the future." But now this sword can only be used when you are studying, and the rest of the time must be kept with me, and when you become a real warrior, this sword may truly belong to you......"
Well, "it's possible", because this sword also costs money, if Demps refuses to pay at that time, then even if the slave in front of him really meets Donne's requirements, Don may not be so generous to give this sword to the other party, but in teaching this slave to become a warrior, Don En did not play tricks, but sincerely.
In a place like Siam, he did hope that if he could have more strength, it would be better to have a little more, and as for what he told Demps that under his teachings, it would not take long for this slave to become a qualified warrior, and he did not brag, because the "knight" thing is mysterious to the layman, but not to an insider like Donne.
Strength, endurance, and willpower, these are indeed the three most important elements of becoming a knight, and the level of trainee knight is not good, it can be said that it is more powerful than anyone, fast, and a little bit of skill, far less subtle than the layman thinks. From this point of view, the slave in front of Don does have a unique advantage.
And in front of Don En, the slave silently held the sword in his hand, without saying a word, in addition to Don En's explanation, there were other voices in his ears, but compared to what he had heard, there were many fewer of them, and there were also pieces of subtitles flowing in front of him, which was much less than before.
This tall slave is none other than Norman, who disappeared after Arica's First World War.
In the past, if he encountered such a situation in front of him, Lancelot would never be absent, and he would immediately analyze to Norman the intention of this Mr. Donn, whether he might have hidden some ulterior motives, what technique the sword in Norman's hand was made visually, how much hardness there was visually, etc., but now Lancelot's voice did not appear, only the barrage that was not too large was fluttering.
The Knights Templar seem to have changed their policy these days, and their speeches have been greatly reduced, so it can be said that they can not send barrages, leaving Norman with a clean space, but some things that they think are necessary will be said, such as Norman's current situation analysis, and it is also under the Templar Order's analysis that Norman has a relatively clear understanding of his current situation.
According to Lancelot, people can be divided into three levels, one is the id, one is the ego, and the other is the superego.
From Norman's birth to his first arrival in Cárdenas, it can be said that Norman's self dominated everything until the appearance of Lancelot, which led to Norman's self-consciousness, and he entered the second stage of his life, which led to the dismissal of Gawain, Lancelot's arrival and takeover of everything, and then the battle of Arica.
After a long period of experience, education and the slaughter of the city, Norman's superego consciousness finally awakened and intervened in the battlefield between the ego and the ego, which led to Norman finally leaving everything behind and leaving Arica.
Norman could sense that the Knights Templar did not like his superego, and he even vaguely felt that the Knights Templar might want him to stay at this stage of the self forever, and it seemed that the knowledge they taught was specifically aimed at this goal in advance that Norman did not know about, but no matter how strong the manpower was, it could not stop the law of natural development after all.
As Norman came into contact with more and more things, all of them could not be stopped.
As for why Norman appeared here and became a slave, according to Lancelot, it is "the punishment that the superego expects from us when we violate our own moral code", and in practice, Norman walked around aimlessly like an ascetic in the days he left Arica.
He didn't know where he was going or what he was going to do, and as for the original goal of "climbing to the top of the dragon clan" and "gathering all the forces he could gather to fight against the potential enemy Sowell", he had already thrown him out of the clouds.
Norman even had the idea that life is not happy, and death is not painful.
If the Knights Templar dared to babble as before, always telling him what to do and what to do, Norman would definitely refuse to communicate with the Knights Templar directly, but I don't know if the Knights Templar is a roundworm in Norman's stomach, guessing Norman's current psychology, they are now greatly reduced in the amount of barrage, Lancelot can not make a sound, after all, it did not make Norman so bored that he cut off all contact.
