Chapter 031: (Like a Boy)
When the earth had just woken up from the light of the morning, the boy's clear laughter wafted in the solemn and cool orchard.
The noise of the birds had retreated to other corners, and a small red squirrel was scurrying in all directions on the trunk of the tree. The thick leaves wriggled slightly on the outstretched branches, but they couldn't hide the fruit.
You could see the occasional glittering dew in the bushes, like stars shining in a misty night. And a layer of hair, or a thin layer of frost, on the red peel, makes it appear softer and wetter. The little squirrel seems to like the fruit.
The clouds rose, and through the gaps in the green leaves, a little golden glow shone through the trees, and wisps of transparent lilac and pale yellow light reflected in the forest. On the pale green grass, two spotted fire-striped puppies were playing with the boy.
These two puppies differ from regular domestic dogs in that they have large heads, thick skulls, long heads and short snouts, and large, round ears. They have four toes on each of their limbs and cannot be retracted. It has a mane on its back and a long tail. These are two giant hyena cubs that are less than two months old.
When the female giant hyena in the cage gave birth to two puppies, Iris begged Baron Royce to let him domesticate one of the puppies during the dinner in the evening, but the little giant refused his request. And reprimanded him: the giant hyena is not a pet, it is a beast.
For this reason, Iris has been sullen. However, just as the incident was about to pass, one night, Tormund appeared in Iris's room with two puppies in his arms. "Boy, these two puppies are yours," said Giant Buster. "You're going to domesticate them yourself!"
From then on, Iris became more and more fond of the bearded Virginia. Despite the fact that Giant Buster usually trains him too harshly and always taunts him with vulgar words, Iris doesn't mind this, he likes the bearded and bold personality.
The two puppies chased each other on the grass, Jazz still happily jumping up and down the trunk of the tree, and Iris practiced archery on the sidelines. His arrows are getting more and more accurate, but they are limited to fixed targets, and if they encounter fast-moving prey, the hit rate is still average.
"Little master, my lord has a letter!" Hart's voice came from behind him.
Iris put the purple longbow in his hand behind his back, turned around and asked, "Where is the letter?" The longbow he was carrying had been collected from the Dark Knight, and Tormund later gave him the purple longbow second only to the Golden Heartwood longbow.
Dragons are nothing more than legends, and no one knows if there are bows and arrows made of dragon bones in this world. But the longbow made of gold heart wood is the best bow that all the archers on the continent of Calradia agree on. The purple shirt longbow is secondary.
Hart said with a happy face, "The letter is with Baron Royce, he asked me to call you back!"
"Ramoloke, Landlock," Iris shouted as he beckoned to two playing puppies not far away. "Come on, go back. ”
Ramolok and Landlock are twin brothers and two famous knights in the history of the continent of Calradia. They were the earliest members of the Knights of Sanctions, with the elder brother Rameau being the head of the Order and the younger brother Rand being the personal guard knight of Duke Patton.
In 1027, during the outbreak of the "Dark Rebellion", the two brothers accompanied Duke Barton Harongoth to clear the Dark Legion led by the 'Dark Pope' Prieus. And their names are often adopted by later generations.
The Swadia people are fond of naming children or animals after their elders or ancient heroes. Parents commemorate someone through their children (using the names of elders or friends) or in the hope that their children will gain the power of the original owner of the name (using the names of ancient heroes).
When the two spotted fire-striped puppies heard the boy's call, they happily ran to the boy opposite. Iris shouted at the little squirrel on the trunk, "Sir, come down!"
The little squirrel stood on the trunk of the tree, and its two big cute eyes looked at the boy under the tree, and it hesitated for a moment, as if it was a little greedy for the red fruits on the branches, and finally ran to the boy under the tree as fast as possible.
"Little master," Hart asked, puzzled, as he walked aside. "Why are you going to name this little squirrel 'Sizz'?"
Iris smiled at Hart and replied, "Because he's a gentleman, I'll call him Sizzle!"
Hart tilted his head to look at the well-behaved little squirrel lying on Iris's shoulder, and couldn't help asking, "It's very obedient, but I don't see what it has to do with the gentleman?"
Iris felt helpless and chuckled, "Dear Hart, isn't it just a name?
"I'm just a little curious. Hart explained.
"Alright, let's go back!" Iris urged at a quicker pace. Two spotted puppies with fire stripes ran after the boy obediently.
·
Returning to the castle halfway up the mountainside, Iris temporarily left Sir in Hart's care, and then put Ramoloch and Landlock in an iron cage and let the two little hyenas return to their mothers.
Even ferocious beasts need the love and care of their mothers, and the kind boy doesn't want these two little ones to be like he is without his mother's affection. Although he was happy to take care of them for their mother, it was different.
Iris left the colosseum and walked through several pathways, and when he entered the castle hall, Baron Royce and Tormund were sitting on the couch in the hall discussing things, but it looked more like they were arguing.
When Baron Royce saw the boy, he stopped arguing. "Your father has a letter!" he said. "It's for you. ”
Iris asked with a look of delight, "What did the letter say?" This was the first time his father had written to Harongos Castle since he left him. He was a little anxious to know what his father had said in the letter.
"Your Excellency has asked Tormund to take you to stay in Elbel for a while," replied Baron Royce. "And let you serve as Baron Parocue's squire during this time, and learn to ride by his side. ”
When the boy heard these words quietly, he immediately became a little disappointed, and then said sullenly, "Why do you want to go there? I'm good here, I don't want to go!"
"That's what your father meant!" stressed Baron Royce.
Iris didn't like to hear this, and he retorted unconvinced: "I'm not the obedient 'little girl' I used to be. ”
"Yes, you're not a little girl anymore," Tormund grinned, interjecting as he stepped aside. "You become more like a big boy who is both brave and kind, and it won't be long before you become a real man. ”
"He doesn't have the right to do that," Iris said bitterly, ignoring the sarcasm. "If I had to get out of here, I'd rather go back to Harlan Gosburg, which is my home. ”
"You want to disobey your lordship?" Baron Ross asked. "Your Excellency won't allow you to go back. ”
"I have the right to choose!" Iris pointed out. "I'm not his vassal, I don't need to follow his orders!"
"Yes, you are not a vassal, much less a knight under his command," Baron Royce reemphasized. "But you are his son, wilt thou disobey thy father's commands?"
"I just want to wield my rightful power," Iris's tone was stiff, and his words became a little fierce. "Baron Royce, please tell me, is this also wrong?"
"No, you're not wrong," the intrepid little giant said in a firm tone. "Your Excellency is doing this to protect you!" Baron Royce noticed that the boy in front of him was no longer as afraid of himself as he was when he first arrived, but had become more daring to speak loudly to himself.
Again, I don't want to hear it again. Iris shouted indignantly. "I won't leave, never!" he said, turning and going upstairs to his room.
When the boy's figure disappeared from their sight, the giant nemesis said in a stiff tone: "Little giant, I told you that it won't work, your method won't work!"
Baron Royce did not deny this, and he asked the other party with a blank face: "What if your method doesn't work either?"
"I know him and he'll change his mind. Tormund declared.
"It would be better to be so, Tormond," Baron Royce reminded his friend. "Otherwise, even if I tie him with a rope, I will do what my lord tells me to do. ”
The giant nemesis patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll let him join Albert with me." Then he stood up and walked towards the stone staircase that led to the upper floor.
