Chapter 299: The Ring
"Am I going to die......"
The scimitar glowing with cold light and the charge of the war horse easily cut through the thin layer of cowhide armor on his chest, and when the sky swirled and fell, blood soaked Logan's blurred vision, and a voice suddenly appeared in his blank head.
Lying on the soft grass, the scorching sun shining overhead, but Logan felt colder and colder, and a strong sleepiness uncontrollably welled up in his heart, he knew that the shadow of death had gradually covered the last of his life.
I can't die yet, I can't die yet......
Logan cried out in endless grief, but no matter how much he struggled, his extremely weak body could not lift the slightest strength to respond to his will, and even if he could get back up, he would still die under the knife of the group of humanoid demons.
Although hundreds of years have passed since the Battle of Tiza, and the demons who once ruled this land have been declining under the blows of the Holy Alliance's coalition forces, and have long since lost control of this land, the opposing rangers are like scabies, and they can always quietly enter the land of the Holy Alliance through the vast and narrow corridor of the Puran Plains.
Therefore, the various lord states in the Holy Alliance have established militia organizations in remote towns and villages beyond the reach of the whip, and the main role is to prevent the demon rangers from entering the country from time to time to harass and plunder, and the young Logan is from the village militia that was burned and plundered by the group of demons not far away.
Every year after the autumn harvest, Logan and the young men in the village will go to the castle under the lord's rule to receive militia training from the knight lord, and will not return to the village to work in the village until the ice and snow melt in the spring of the next year.
Logan was the son of a farmer, and legally speaking, the family belonged to the lord's property, and most of the harvest from the hard work was paid to the tax collector sent by the lord each year, and then only the poor grain that could not satisfy the family was enough to feed the family.
His uncle fled the village because he couldn't stand this life, and even became the target of the lord's want, for which the Logan family was affected, and all the food harvested the next year was handed over, and if it were not for the relief of the villagers, the family would have starved to death that winter.
Father never resented Logan's uncle, the two brothers have been dependent on each other since childhood, and the depth of the relationship is naturally incomprehensible to outsiders, even when the uncle decided to flee, Logan's father also handed over the family's small amount of food to his uncle.
A few years later, the uncle quietly returned to the village.
Now he has become an adventurer, and has earned a lot of money by licking blood from the knife, but this time his uncle came back and gave all the money to Logan's father, meaning that he wanted Rogan's father to give the money to Logan in exchange for the status of a free man, and in the future, even if he went to the city to be an apprentice in a workshop, it would be better than a lifetime of freedom for the lord to plow the land.
In the months that followed, his uncle would tell young Logan stories of his adventures every day at home, which had such a profound effect on young Logan that he began to yearn for the life of an adventurer more and more.
But after his uncle left, he never returned, and one night, Logan overheard his parents chatting privately and realized that perhaps his uncle had died in the adventure.
At the age of thirteen, Logan's mother fell ill and died one winter.
At the age of fifteen, Logan's father was attacked by wild boars in the field.
Before dying, Logan's father handed over the gold coins that had been buried in the house for many years to Rogan, and he said, "Child, I know, you have always been like your uncle, and you are not willing to be bound to this land for the rest of your life, but life outside is very dangerous, far from what you can bear as a child, so I have never supported you to leave this village, and now, I am going to die, and no one can take care of you anymore, you take this money, if you want to leave one day, leave it......
With that, the father died and Logan cried for the whole day.
Later, Logan inherited the land cultivated by his father, and he did not follow his ideals and left, I don't know if it was because of nostalgia for this land, or because he couldn't let go of his parents who died in this area.
Day after day, year after year.
Logan grew into a strong guy with a bang, many people in the village wanted to marry their daughters to him, but Logan refused one by one, he didn't know why he refused, perhaps, he has always longed for the outside world in his heart, if he really got married, he may not be able to leave this land again in this life.
Who knows that the sky will be unpredictable.
On this day, bad luck struck.
A demon cavalry that broke through the blockade for some reason broke the peace of the village for a hundred years, and after hearing the rapid and sharp alarm bell at the entrance of the village, Logan immediately dropped the hoe in his hand and rushed to the house, he put on the shabby leather armor given by the lord, picked up the rusty short sword and prepared to face the invading demon cavalry.
Everyone in the village knew that they could not defeat this group of demon cavalry head-on, and they had to go to the lord's castle for help, Logan volunteered, and after getting the promise of the village chief, he and several militia companions in the village sneaked out of the village, and did not dare to stop for a moment to rush to the lord's castle, but the group of demon cavalry had already taken precautions, and the ranger ambush on the road directly intercepted and killed them.
Logan and his companions were no match for this group of demon cavalry, and a charge made it easy for them to cut them all to the ground.
Logan's eyelids grew heavier and heavier as he lay dying, but he couldn't stop death from coming.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear the footsteps of someone approaching.
Could it be that the demon cavalry came to mend the sword?
He thought to himself, and then he lost consciousness completely.
"Are you talking about him?"
A cold female voice rang out beside Logan.
"Yes. ”
A calm male voice replied.
"I don't see anything special about him. The cold female voice seemed to be a little confused.
"Indeed, on the surface he is just an ordinary person with a strong body. A calm male voice said. "But where you can't see it, there are breathtakingly large variables in his body, and in other words, he can be called the chosen son of this world. ”
"Just him?" said the cold girl. "A serf who lived under the feudal system and was not far from death?"
"History is always full of all kinds of drama, can you think that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was once a beggar, would become the emperor?" said in a calm male voice.
"Shall we save him?" the cold female voice was silent for a long time.
"No, someone will save him. A calm male voice said.
"We came to him just to take a look?" said a cold female voice.
"Give him something. ”
As he spoke, an unpretentious off-white ring was placed on Logan's finger.
"What is this ring?" the cold female voice said confusedly.
"Something that will help him grow in advance. A calm male voice said. "Let's go, let's go to the next place. ”
"Where?" said a cold female voice.
"The place where the next Chosen One is located, on the island of Soroga, which belongs to the Kingdom of Sarank. ”
......
......
"Are you awake?"
Opening his eyes in a daze, Logan seemed to hear a low, hoarse voice, and as he tried to move his body, the sharp pain in his chest made him exhale in pain.
"Don't move, the wound in your chest isn't healed yet. The voice in his ear said solemnly.
"Are you ......" Rogan twisted his neck with difficulty to follow the voice, only to see a man with unkempt hair sitting beside him, dressed in a leather helmet, with a long sword at his waist, and a black strip of meat that looked like smoked in his hand.
"Jeff, Lord Ferdinand's servant. The man glanced at him. "Lord Lord urgently summoned all the knights under his command after learning that a group of Tharis had secretly invaded the territory, who knew that we were still a step late...... You're lucky, if someone hadn't found you alive when we passed by, you'd have eaten the wild dogs and wolves in the neighborhood. ”
"So, our village ......," Logan's face turned pale.
"You've probably heard of the Taris for their cruel style......" Jeff sighed, shaking his head. "By the time we arrived at your village, it was burned to ashes. ”
"I ......" Tears silently streamed down the corners of Logan's eyes, and he clenched his fists and let out a desolate low growl despite the pain in his chest. "I must kill all those demons! I must avenge the people in the village!"
"Well, don't think too much about it now, take care of your injuries, now that you're awake, Master Ferdinand will have to ask you questions later. The man ate the last bite of the meat strip and clapped his hands and stood up. "I'll go and report to the master, you're awake. ”
Rogan has a great affection for the village, and he is often helped by the kindness of the villagers, both when his parents are still alive and after they have died, but the demons have destroyed everything he cherishes.
Once upon a time, he wanted to be a free adventurer, but now, he only wants to avenge the villagers!
After that, the knight of Ferdinand took in the strong Logan, and became a brave and qualified soldier under the training of the other party, there are hundreds of lord states in this land of the Holy Alliance, once in the defense of the Taris, the Holy Alliance was still able to put aside the contradictions and unite with the outside world, until the power of the Tarisian declined and shrank to the east of the Kule River, and no longer a threat to the Holy Alliance, the various lord states once again launched a-for-tat civil war.
Soon after becoming a soldier under the command of Knight Ferdinand, Logan often accompanied Knight Ferdinand to conquer the surrounding lord states under the call of the lord, until later he learned that the original Tarisians were able to invade the village because a lord deliberately let them go to cause trouble for their lord, so when conquest of that lord, the angry Logan performed particularly well in the battle, and even killed three knights on the other side and the heads of twenty-six ordinary soldiers with his own strength, so after capturing the territory, the lord directly divided Rogan into a knight。
After the celebration dinner at the Lord's Castle, Logan is about to return to his knighthood as a new knight.
Standing in front of the window, Logan looked up at the poignant night, and subconsciously fumbled for the ring on his finger.
Who would have thought that he would be all relying on this mysterious ring today.
Whenever he was in a desperate situation in battle, the ring would unleash a steady stream of power, and his reflexes would become extremely sharp, and although his body would collapse and weaken for a whole day after the battle, it was more than enough.
So in the dead of night, he would look up at the sky and wonder.
Who gave him this magic ring, and what was the purpose of the other party?
Several times he tried to take off the ring and throw it away, but once he didn't succeed.
Because he knew that without this ring, perhaps his future would end here.
"Master, don't you sleep so late, do you have to get up early tomorrow and rush back to the territory?"
At this time, a crack opened in the door, and a young and immature soldier said cautiously and respectfully.
"I see, stand down. ”
Logan waved his hand without looking back.
It turns out that I am already a knight lord who was once looked up to!
His heart was throbbing, and an indescribable emotion came flooding up.
There seems to be a voice in the darkness speaking.
Are you just a knight now? No, Logan, you can have a brighter future!
A seed called ambition sprouted.
