Chapter 019: Mission
Jamila woke up at the Zenda Hotel. She looked around hard, the moldy bedding, the damp wooden walls.
Jamila immediately subconsciously touched herself in the quilt, and her clothes were still there.
I was a little annoyed, didn't that obviously look down on my character? I shifted my position and looked through the other crack in the door.
Jamila stared at her bracelet with a beautiful face.
Manid suddenly pushed the door in and shouted, "Boss!"
I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to stop him, when Jamila on the other side of the door was shocked, hid the bracelet in her arms, and kicked the door open with a bang.
"Well, you're awake......" I laughed.
Jamila snorted, and I saw two tear streaks on her delicate face.
Manid said excitedly without emotional intelligence: "Boss, Boss Suke has exempted us from the room money." ”
I'm noncommittal.
Manid then excitedly said, "He also said to ask his daughter to warm your bed......"
I kicked Manid in the ass. That Roshan ...... Souk, do you want me to die?
Jamila's figure in front of her clearly showed more disdain.
When I went downstairs, I saw Su Ke standing at the top of the stairs, rubbing his hands on his apron excitedly.
"What, old g, I didn't expect you to really be able to save my daughter. Suke said.
I hurriedly said, "Don't say anything about warming the bed, I regret dying now." ”
Su Ke smiled flatteringly: "Don't say it, don't say it...... Actually, I can't bear my daughter, it's cheap for you. He then pulled out of his apron pocket and pulled out something the size of a palm, in the form of a miniature shield, with a mounted spear engraved on it.
"What is this?" I asked curiously.
"Knight's Certificate!" Su Ke said proudly, "It can only be awarded for the great help given to our Chanda residents, a symbol of justice and fraternity, and now I give it to you in recognition of your righteous deeds of saving so many Chanda girls, Lord G, you are now the best endorsement of chivalry." ”
"Chivalry?" I'm a little confused, I was a mercenary a month ago, and I'm a knight a month later?
I'm playing with the knight's card.
Su Ke reminded me: "Master G, you are the tenth person to be awarded the certificate of knighthood this year, and you have a good chance to win this year's Top Ten Moving Calradia Figures Selection. I also opened a lot of joints before handing over your materials to the Chanda Cultural Bureau, so you can't forget me when the time comes. ”
I was a little interested: "So amazing?"
Su Ke said, "Yes, you'd better go and report to Lord Earl, and get through his joints to really get the bottom of it." ”
I shook my spirits, thought about it, and wilted again: "But I'm not rich in my hands, how can this joint be opened......"
Su Ke nodded at me again: "You don't know this, the Earl's Dinardo can't even count, money is a number to him." He also has to do a work summary every year, the top ten moving Calradia characters in previous years are very commonplace, either the old lady crossed the road, or picked up a dinar and handed it to the guard uncle, it is all a small dish, your outstanding deeds are definitely worth writing about, and his face is also bright when he summarizes at the end of the year, you have provided him with such good political achievements, this is a big joint. ”
I thought about it too, so I took the knight's certificate and found the Earl, the master of this Zenda, the legendary figure who rose to prominence in the last defense of Calradia, and was pinching his feet in the Hundred Gardens at this time. Baihuayuan is the largest foot hall in Chanda, and the girls in it are very good.
I waited in the living room for two hours.
The Count came, and the knight's certificate was turned upside down and looked at it for a long time, and at last he said, "Well, it's true." Where did you buy that, lad?"
I said I didn't buy it. I'm going to tell him how we managed to get the girl back.
The Count looked at me in a daze, and then burst out laughing, and said, "You are a good storyteller, young man. ”
I had no choice but to call in Jamila, who was waiting outside.
The earl's eyes straightened at once.
I said, "This is Jamila." ”
The Count said, "You don't have to bribe me like this, I won't do it." ”
Jamila said, "My father is the Viscount of Yasa Butterfly, and although he is not comparable to the earl, he is also a minor nobleman. What Captain G just said is true, he rescued me. With that, she handed over the bracelet, which had a small family crest on it.
The Count was a little more serious at this time, and he took the bracelet and looked at it for a long time, and finally remembered. "Viscount Yasper, I remember that it was a nobleman of Rhodok, and he was a bit related to King Griffos, and the fief was in Yipaxi or Cheleze?"
Jamila calmly replied: "It's in Granmel, but Granmel was burned by the Nords a few days ago, and now it's a white field." ”
The Count sighed a few times. He slapped his face, and a chick walked in outside, looking like his secretary, with silky eyes.
He said, "Bring that chivalry book." ”
The secretary turned around and took a book, and the earl handed it to him without reading it: "This is a reward for you, and I hope you will carry on the spirit of it in your future journey." ”
I turned to the first page, and it read: "That night, the knight Roland sneaked into the lord's bedroom, where his mistress was bathing, and the delicate body of a beautiful woman loomed in the scented water. Roland's heart couldn't help but waver, his mouth was dry, and he reached out to gently lift the almost transparent gauze curtain......"
I couldn't help but sigh that the Earl's shot was really extraordinary.
The earl stared at the book cover for a long time, and suddenly his face changed greatly, he pounced on him and snatched it away, and shouted to the secretary: "It's not the one at the bedside, it's the one under the table!"
The secretary's face changed color and left in a hurry. I felt embarrassed.
After a while the secretary returned, and the Count gave it to me after reading it carefully, and said, "This is a reward for you, and I hope you will carry on the spirit of it in your future journey." Continue to act chivalrous and eliminate harm for the people, from today on, you will be one of the top ten outstanding young people of our Chanda, and you will automatically enter the list of top ten moving Calradia characters and accept the vote of the masses. Expect you to do better!"
I took the book and saw that on the cover it was the Knight's Creed, which read:
"The Knights of Mercy seem to have a spirit of pity for the weak, and they are not proud of their own strength, nor are they sad for the weakness of the other. Mercy may be just pure pity, hoping that you can protect the weak.
HonorFor some knights, honor is above all else. The honor mentioned here includes many things such as the pride and dignity of the knight himself. It is more cruel to hurt the honor of a knight than to take his life, "honor is my life".
Courage is the source of a knight's battle, a part of the knight's blood. With a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, the standard warrior salute to the enemy while fearlessly roaring and charging seems to have become the standard image of a knight.
SpiritualitySince the Order itself is the product of union with religion, faith is indispensable to the Knights. If he could only look at the gray sky every morning after waking up, he would rather murmur to a god with holy light.
Sacrificing a knight allows you to sacrifice without hesitation for everything he guards. This selfless devotion made the Order fearless in the face of its enemies.
Humility A knight has his proud capital and his reasons for being humble, and there is no conflict between the two. They are confident enough in their own power, and they know that the way to manifest that power lies in action, not in arrogant words and contemptuous glances.
Justice is a knight's respect not only because of his great strength, but also because of his noble sentiments, and justice is a matter of course for them.
Honesty A lying knight is incredible, a knight is honest with himself, honest with others, honest with everything. Even if lying allows him to easily escape some punishment, they will simply choose to be honest, because the act of "lying" has no concept in a knight's brain. ”
I flipped through it again, and there was no folder!
The Count ignored me and waved me out. Sooke asked me, "What did the Count reward you?"
I pulled out the chivalry and showed him.
Su Ke took the book, read it page by page for a long time, rubbed the front and back covers, and then roasted it with flint for a while, looking like he was eager to cut open each page and look at it.
I said, "Don't struggle, it's a broken book." ”
Suke looked at me in disbelief.
I asked Jamila, who was silent, "What are your next arrangements? Do you want me to take you to the Riwa car? ”
Jamila bit her lip and said, "No, I changed my mind, I'm going to follow you!"
My heart was stopping.
Jamila said, "Don't get me wrong, I mean to join your mercenary group. I'm going to seek revenge on those gray cloaks and destroy them once and for all. ”
I withdrew my gaze in disappointment.
"What can you do?" I said, "you don't know how to play the crossbow." ”
"I'm much more capable, like doing laundry, cooking, stopping bleeding and healing," Jamila said. ”
I said, "Will you warm the bed?"
Jamila pulled out the dagger again.
I said, "Okay, then you can follow me, but you have to at least learn how to ride a horse, and as for the crossbow, swordsmanship, etc., you have to learn a thing or two." ”
Jamila nodded.
As we spoke, we had returned to the door of the Zenda Hotel, and as soon as I whistled, all the members of the Old G Pirates gathered up and came up.
I said, "Today we will continue to arrest those water thieves who disrupt social order and endanger the township. ”
The girls cheered.
The old G pirates drove towards the You River.
In a clearing by the You River, I pulled myself up and began to train the girls. We found dozens of crossbows from the Greycloak camp, just to teach them the basics.
Twenty paces away, ten wooden poles were planted, and each pole carried a gourd at the top.
I said, "Girls, you are all refugees from the war, either you have lost your family or your land. If you want to survive in this troubled world, you have to have some means of self-defense, and the crossbow is a very good thing, you only need a little practice to produce enough combat power to protect yourself. So, now I'm going to teach you how to play the crossbow...... Hey, hey, hey, the pigtailed guy is talking about you, listen carefully!"
Then I showed me the basic steps.
"Here are the main points of shooting, keep your hands steady and hold the crossbow. Hold your breath and concentrate, look at the mountain, the arrow, and the target in a straight line, then pull the trigger, and look!" I said, and an arrow hit the gourd to the left of the target.
"Well, yes, that's what we're targeting. I said.
Xiaohua raised her hand: "My lord, I didn't understand, can you say it again?"
Xiaohong raised her hand: "My lord, where is the trigger?"
Xiao Yue raised her hand: "My lord, why do you want to form a straight line?"
Jamila raised her hand: "My lord, can you get out of class, it's time to eat." ”
Then they flocked to pick wild vegetables and fish, and threw their crossbows all over the place.
Willy had a bitter face: "Captain, send them back, otherwise we won't even be able to deal with the water thieves......"
After lunch, I explained it again, and four or five of the girls actually got up to speed quickly, or at least could load crossbows.
I said, "My careful teaching has some effect." ”
Xiaohua said, "My lord, when are we going back to Zenda, I'm so tired." ”
Xiaohong said: "That's it, we've all been out all day." ”
Xiao Yue said: "Yes, yes, I also asked Xiao Yi to go shopping with me at night." ”
I feel like I'm getting shorter.
When I got back to Zenda, I went to the Count again, and at last he promised to help settle the poor girls.
The earl said: "We Chanda, Baihuayuan is a good place, every year is a big taxpayer, advanced enterprises, the proprietress is young and promising, hard-working, is a heroine among women, women do not let the eyebrows." As soon as I told her about the employment of these girls, she immediately patted her chest and took it down, which is the sense of social responsibility and ownership that an entrepreneur should have......
I nodded yes.
In the evening, the old G pirates are downsized, and in addition to Mama Cha, Manid, Willy, and his three companions, there are only Jamila and four homeless girls who have learned to use crossbows. There were twelve people in total.
In Sooke's tavern, I gave the girls a tactical lesson, and the content was very simple: when the seven of us men were riding and killing, the girls should hide behind their backs, and if they had the chance, they would use crossbows to support, but not shoot their own people.
As for how much they listened, only God knows.
The next day, we shifted our field and tried our luck in the direction of Rebach in the east.
The banks of the You River have been largely cleaned. Under the strong law enforcement efforts of the Chanda Law Enforcement Team, the real and fake water thief strongholds along the You River have been plowed like locusts crossing the border. Hearing that the area around the tributaries of the Polak River near Zhivadin is also driving out the water thieves, presumably the miserable people will be driven like cattle to the central plain.
Then it's cheap for me.
As I thought so, there was a noise of people behind a small hill in front of me. Mama Tea immediately cheered up and touched it to check.
After a while, he came back: "Boss, there is a caravan of more than a dozen people in front, surrounded by more than thirty bandits. ”
There is a rule in our mercenary shop, if you encounter such a thing as a bandit robbing a caravan, if you can do it, you must help the caravan as soon as possible. This is a rule that has been handed down hundreds of years ago, just like the knights call chivalry. It's just that hundreds of years have passed, and most of the knights' chivalry has been used to pad the table legs, and I don't remember much, on the contrary, the mercenaries who have been wandering around have always adhered to their iron rules.
With a wave of my hand, the line tightened, with three of Willy's men leading the way, five girls in the middle, and me and Mama Cha and Manid.
In other words, I love to do the work behind the palace.
As soon as the horn blew, we climbed over the hill and rushed down.
