Although the Norton King is only a small existence on the entire continent, he has always maintained a belligerent style, and if the civilians in the kingdom want to complete the counterattack, the most direct and effective way is to become a knight.

To become a knight, although the conditions required are not high, but it is enough to brush down most of the people, many civilians are stuck in the knight's squire, and they can't break through to the quasi-knight for a long time, and only by becoming a bronze knight can they be qualified to be called real knights.

For these lucky young knights, all the kingdom courts will reward them, giving them a complete set of weapons and armor, and these people are more qualified to enter the academy, join the army after graduation to earn meritorious service, and even the promotion of officials to knighthood is not a dream.

Pierce is very interested in knights, and among the combat skills he has mastered, there is a skill called "Hundred Tempered Bodies", which is a compulsory course for all knight squires, any knight's physique needs to be strong enough, and Pierce is only stronger than ordinary people.

Skirting the towering city walls, Pierce ran round and round.

Tossing and turning until dawn did Pierce turn and walk in the direction of the hut.

For this body, Pierce has almost run-in, of course, the original owner of the body is not much stronger than ordinary people, so Pierce is easy to control firmly.

The sound of roosters crowed, and the civilians outside the city began to go out to work, and Pierce saw many children along the way, practicing basic skills under the guidance of several adults.

The way of knighthood starts from the doll, but the strength of these adults is only a knight squire, along the way Pierce only saw a quasi-knight, and if you want to let your child get better training conditions, some big families with some backgrounds will send their children to the academy, and most of the teachers there are golden knights.

When Pierce returned to the hut, the girl was already preparing to make a fire and cook.

Sensing Pierce's return, the girl's gaze was a little hasty, but of course more of a fear, horror, and a kind of disgust.

For this undisguised feeling, Pierce can see at a glance that the girl does not get along well with her previous self, although she is not officially married, but the contradictions between the two parties are somewhat deep-rooted.

In his memory, Pierce remembered that the girl's name was Ivy, a baby that the old marquis picked up out of nowhere when he returned from a campaign, and was slightly younger than Pierce.

When the Marquis Palace was in the scenery, the people who came to help Pierce talk to the matchmaker were enough to queue up, but the old Marquis was extremely stubborn and insisted on getting engaged to Pierce and Ivy, and the old Marquis and his wife died early, so the identity of the young man and woman has never changed to an official couple.

"I'll do it. ”

Pierce crouched down, picked up a piece of firewood and threw it under the stove.

Ivy was pushed aside, and after a moment of hesitation, she set about preparing her meal for the morning.

After a busy time, the two sat down.

Although the hut was dilapidated, it had its own small courtyard, and while the two of them were sitting in the courtyard, Pierce felt extremely warm.

Although Pierce's current situation is miserable, he has a fiancée who is beautiful enough to support all the housework, and he is much happier than the unaccompanied life before he crossed over.

However, when Pierce grabbed the black bread on the table, he hesitated for a long time, and on the other side, Evy was carefully tearing the bread and chewing it vigorously one by one.

The black bread, a mixture of sawdust and gravel, was so hard to knock his teeth and hurt his throat, and Pierce broke off a piece of it, chewed it a few times, and spit it it out.

Ivy was taken aback, according to what she knew about Pierce before, the latter would not have been able to sit down and eat with her, although the other party behaved a little strangely today, even coming back on time and even helping her make a fire and cook, but still ......

Suddenly, Pierce snatched the bread from Ivy's hand and threw it out of the yard.

Seeing the bread fly out of the yard and roll into the grass and disappear without a trace, Ivy hurriedly lowered her head, thinking that Pierce was going to lose his temper again, and estimated that she would not escape a severe beating this time.

After the death of the old marquis, the previous Pierce often beat and scolded Ivy to get angry, and even now there are still a few good scars on her body, because she has no money to buy medicine, it is estimated that these scars are difficult to completely remove.

Tears rolled in her eyes, and Ivy didn't dare to look into the eyes of the man opposite.

Suddenly, Pierce grabbed her hand.

"I won't let you eat these things in the future. ”

A gentle voice came to her ears, and Ivy looked up in disbelief at the familiar and unfamiliar face, her eyes full of hesitation.

"But... But..."

Ivy spoke timidly, now they were almost penniless, and there was nothing left to satisfy them except the cheapest brown bread.

You know, he also borrowed a sum of money from someone to buy life-saving medicine for Pierce......

Bang dang!

The door of the courtyard was kicked open from the outside, and there was a loud noise.

Pierce turned around and saw three men breaking into the courtyard, their eyes sweeping over the two of them, but of course they were more focused on Ivy.

The first person is thin as dry, with the appearance of thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and the two people next to him are sturdy, and at first glance they are the legendary characters who bully men and women.

"Who?"

Pierce frowned.

"We're not here to make trouble, I just want to ask when your debts will be paid!"

The thin monkey man was the first to speak, ostensibly to collect debts, but his eyes kept looking back and forth from Ivy with squinting eyes.

"Debt collection?"

Pierce has a headache, he doesn't remember anything now, and it is really nothing new to be in debt outside according to the personality of the former owner.

The man snapped and slapped a contract on the table.

The deed states that he owes 100 gold coins, and the date of return is today, but to Pierce's surprise, the person who signed the deed is not himself, but Evie.

Pierce looked back and saw Evie ducking back.

"You must pay us back 200 gold coins today, otherwise you will not escape the pain of flesh and skin. ”

"No way, I only borrowed 100 gold from Edmund!"

Ivy angrily blamed the other party, but Pierce looked at the contract in his hand, and there was indeed a sentence on it "double repayment", but whether it was added later or not, it is uncertain.

The thin monkey man waved his hand, and the two strong men beside him immediately surrounded him.

"Young Master Pierce is fine if he doesn't want to exchange these 200 gold coins. ”

"Oh, what?"

Pierce smiled maliciously when he saw the other party, and then raised his hand to his fiancée, "Use her to pay off the debt, and we can write off the 200 gold coins." ”

Aiwei's delicate body was shocked, and her eyes were terrified.

"You can think about it, with your current situation, what will happen to offending Young Master Edmond, even if you were the son of a marquis, no one will stand up to help you now!"

The thin monkey man issued a warning in a condescending tone, and seeing that Pierce did not answer, he walked directly around him towards the panicked Ivy.

Suddenly, the man felt that his feet were empty, and his body flew out involuntarily.

"Look for death!"

Pierce snorted.
