Episode 14: I have a dream

"Okay, you Darigori, you really know how to pick, and you really dare to pick!" raised a roll of fine papyrus in his hand, and it was Commander Vasilist who shouted angrily.

He has always been majestic and solemn, but at this time he is quite angry.

"Legionnaire, you promised Baron Gao that he could pick anyone. Darigori kept his head down, but he still didn't give an inch.

"You ......" Vasilist was speechless for a moment, and his eyes widened with anger.

A dignified corps commander and a small sergeant couldn't hold each other for a while.

This is what Gao Ge saw when he first arrived at the door of the Legion Commander's office.

"Baron Gog, you've come just in time. As soon as Vasilist saw Gao Ge, he shook the jingsha paper in his hand with a "whoosh" sound, "No wonder several wing captains have come to me today to complain. Look at Darigori, this chief of staff of yours has asked me for this list of people! He has picked out all my best fighters!"

Gao Ge took the jingsha paper full of names, and he didn't know any of the people on it.

"Sergeant Hansjia, winner of the Three Golden Pine Medals, Sergeant Heidensen who captured the enemy's flag in two battles, Sergeant Zhuoranama, who was the hero of the surprise attack at Qixiaguan, and Sergeant Charimeyen of the Quartermaster Department, Sergeant Charlimanin......"

Vasiliste introduced them one by one with a painful face.

Gao Ge is happier the more he listens, Uncle Dari Gory has done a very beautiful job this time, these people are all talents, and they are talents in all aspects, and they have all taken into account.

Although he was excited in his heart, Gao Ge's face did not show it at all, and he waited for Vasilist to finish speaking one by one before he said slowly: "Legionnaire Commander, I think that Sergeant Darigori has only faithfully fulfilled the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, Legionnaire Chief, and me. ”

"Baron Gao Ge, you are no longer a warrant officer of the Golden Griffin, but a nobleman who owns a city, you don't need to call me by military position, we can only call each other by title. Vasilist waved his hand, indicating that he did not accept the honorific title of Gao Ge, obviously still angry.

"No!" Gao Ge stepped forward and said earnestly, "You will always be my legion leader, and I will always be proud to be a member of the Golden Griffin, and everything I have come from the Golden Griffon. Weishan City was brought down by the Golden Griffin, and it will also be managed and guarded by the Golden Griffin's people. I think that these warriors of yours are not leaving the Golden Griffon, but in another way perpetuating and expanding the glory of the Golden Griffon. ”

"First of all, I will set up a monument to commemorate this battle on the hilltop square, so that people will always remember this battle and remember the golden griffin. Gao Ge finally said.

What do real military men value most?

Honor.

Vasiliste looked at the singing that was neither humble nor arrogant, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Warrant Officer Gorly, you are obviously not as wooden and dull as the legend, but just the opposite. I think I'm going to have another one more thing on my list of losses. ”

That being said, the tone has begun to loosen.

"I am a naturally dull person, but the golden griffin tempered and changed me, which is why I say that everything I have comes from the golden griffon, and it is not just my title and fief. Gao Ge bowed deeply.

This gift of his is from the heart, and everything he does does starts with the golden griffin, even life.

"You're very convincing. Vasilist sighed.

"The main thing is the generosity of the corps commander. Gao Ge knew that the time had come, so he sent a sycophant in time.

"Uncle Darigory, how did you convince these people. They are the most respected warriors of the Golden Griffons. After saying goodbye to Vasilist, Gao Ge asked Darigoli softly.

"These people are not only loyal, heroic and capable, but also very ambitious. Although they were respected by all sides of the legion, they were all born from civilian backgrounds, and there was no room for them to carry out their ambitions in the army. And I told them that when they came to Weishan City, they would find a new world. Darigori looked at Gao Ge.

Gao Ge puffed up his chest and said with a straight face: "Uncle Darigory, their trust in you will not be disappointed." Please bring them to me. ”

......

When Sergeant Zoranama entered the room, he saw that it was already full, all of them were old acquaintances from the Golden Griffin.

"Hey, you cunning fox, you have also been fooled by our big brother Darigori?" a small but sturdy man slapped his palm on Zoranama's shoulder.

"Hansjia, don't you donkey obediently be put on a chew?" Zoranama sneered as he touched his shoulder that had been slapped with a slap.

"Who told Brother Dari to save my life! As long as he asked me to stay, even if Weishan City was a sea of swords and fire, I would not frown. Hansjia said loudly and rudely.

"Yes, I also left it entirely because of the eldest brother of Darigori, and as for this Lord Baron Houghton, I don't care who he is. "Tall, but with a very lively expression, is Sergeant Heidenson.

"I once teased our chief officer, Quartermaster Gereff, on a trick on him! "Charliman, who was born with a bitter face all day long, was worried about the sergeant.

"Then you have to hold a grudge, the nobles don't have any mercy, their mercy is always only on the lips, you, just wait to suffer. "Sergeant Hydson looked like he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

"Everyone!" At some point, Darigori was already standing in the room and said loudly, "Thank you for selling my face to stay in Weishan City, you will soon find out that this decision of yours will be the most correct decision you have made in your life." ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Darigori announced, "Next, Lord Baron will receive you one by one, the first one, Sergeant Zoranama. ”

Zoranama answered the call, followed the direction indicated by Darigori's right hand, walked to the door of the inner chamber, straightened up his military uniform, and slowly pushed open the beautiful door decorated with bronze carvings.

Surprisingly, the Baron was alone in the large room, sitting in front of a screen, with only a quill on the table in front of him, and a notepad bound from papyrus.

The young baron had a well-deserved smile on his face, and his lake-blue eyes were intense, but not aggressive, a look that only a confident and calm man would have.

Not long ago, Zoranama had seen the baron in front of him, and he was so close behind Darigori that he was blank and dazed, cowering like a child.

"Is this really the same person?" Zoranama muttered to himself, "but whatever, I didn't stay because of him anyway. ”

"Sergeant Zoranama has seen the Baron," Zoranama said aloud with a standard military salute.

"No need to salute, Sergeant Zoranama. Oh, you'll soon be no longer a sergeant, and you'll have a new identity here. Today, we're here to talk about it. The baron smiled and motioned for him to sit down on the empty chair in front of the table.

Zoranama sat down in his chair, still in a well-trained military position.

The baron looked at Zoranama sitting upright, smiled, and suddenly asked, "Zoranama, what is your dream?"

"Dream ...... Dreams?!" Zoranama was stunned, never expecting the baron to ask such a question, and instinctively replied, "I...... I don't have any dreams. ”

"No dreams?!" the baron shook his head with a smile, "how can a man have no dreams, what is the difference between a salted fish without dreams?"

"Salty...... Salted fish!" Zoranama couldn't react for a moment, completely unable to keep up with such an out-of-the-box analogy.

"Yes, a person without dreams is just a salted fish that is dead, salted so that it has not rotted. People should have dreams, and I have them, do you want to hear them?" the baron looked at Zoranama earnestly.

Before Zoranama could reply, the baron had already spoken to himself: "I have been a dull person since I was a child, and I have lived a muddy life. Until the day after my father's death. ”

The baron paused for a moment, and emphatically said, "On the second day, not on the third, not on the fourth, Madame and eldest brother drove my mother, my sister, and me out of the big house, and forced us to live in the servant's quarters. The Horton family has been raising you for more than ten years, and they can't let you eat for nothing anymore, and from this day on, you must work, like servants. I remember very well the vicious and happy look on Madame's face as she stood on the high steps of the big house and said this. ”

"But at that time, I still didn't have a dream. The snarky of the lady and the roar of the eldest brother were all blocked by the weak and firm body of the mother. Even my skinny sister would not hesitate to stand in front of me. And I'll just hide behind them in a daze. ”

The baron seemed to slowly sink into his memories, and Zoranama couldn't help but be drawn to his narrative.

"That day, because of my clumsiness, I broke a clay bowl, and my wife almost plucked my ears off, and my eldest brother was about to whip me. My mother and my sister held me tightly behind me, and the crackling whip fell on them. ”

"When my mother, who still had whip marks on her face and tears on her face, hugged me tightly, choked up and said, 'Child, it is useless to be a mother, and my mother has not protected you!', my dull heart was deeply pierced for the first time, and a strong desire was born: one day, I want my mother to no longer cry because of me, but laugh and be proud of me. I want my mother, no longer to protect me with her weak body, but to smile reassuringly behind my strong back. ”

"This is my dream!" the baron sighed deeply with his eyes slightly closed, "what about your dreams, what are your dreams?"
