Chapter Forty-Six: Knights and Gifts

Ever since Bodfinger called out "Sir" in public the next morning, Lorist noticed that things were starting to get weird. I don't know if Klee is showing up or something, the servant hired in the golden teaching residential area of the academy used to greet him very warmly: "Locke Teaching, good morning" or something, but now when he sees himself walking by the lake after dinner, he bows to the side of the road from afar, and bows deeply after he walks over: "Hello adults", which makes Lorist very unaccustomed.

Then came the arrival of Telman, and it was late that night, and Sedkamp came up to report that Telman had visited, alone.

Lorist is very strange, Telman rarely comes to his house alone, especially at such a late hour, I don't know if there is something wrong, or something about the Sword Club?

Lorist descended downstairs to the living room, where Telman rose from the couch to greet him.

Lorist asked Telman to sit down, but Telman ignored it, and instead stood in front of Lorist a little respectfully, just saying a word that scared Lorlist: "I resigned." ”

"What?" Lorist froze......

It's not a joke, Telman, you are the deputy captain of the law enforcement team of the Law Enforcement Department of Dawn Academy, and you also have the position of the executive vice president of the Sword Fighting Society, you will resign if you say you resign, how come I don't know as the president of the Sword Club? Who approved it?

"I thought about it for several days, and in the afternoon I finally made up my mind, and even Shi Fat didn't know. I went directly to Dean Levins and offered to resign, and the Dean agreed. Telman continued in a deep voice.

"What the hell happened to make you do this?" Lorist felt that his head was starting to rise again, how could Telman have eight or nine goldfords in the academy with a two-time salary and benefits, how many people couldn't envy him, why did he suddenly choose to resign?

Telman bowed his head and said, "I feel that life in the academy is too dull and boring, and I crave adventure and war. I was a knight, and my father told me before he died that the biggest regret in his life was not to die on the battlefield, but to die in bed tormented by illness. I don't want to follow my father's footsteps, knights, and I should fight in all directions. ”

What kind of bullshit reason is this? Are you still the steady, cool-headed, and taciturn Telman I know who makes people feel honest and reliable? You can't be crossed by some war maniac, as Telman's friend, Lorist feels that it is her duty to make Telman sober up, and let Telman retract his decision to resign while there is still room for redemption.

Before he could think of how to persuade Telman, Lorist saw Telman kneel down on one knee in front of him: "Locke, this is the last time I'll call you that." Would you like to take in a friend who has nowhere else to go and go with you to the Northland?"

"I, Vipoli Telman, would like to be a knight of House Norton, to be loyal to Lord Norton Lorlist, to follow in his footsteps, and to fight for him. ”

Lorist was shocked......

At some point, Bodfinger appeared at Lorlist's side and handed Lorlist's sword.

Lorist took the long sword, drew it out of its sheath, and then slapped the sword on Telman's shoulders twice, and said indifferently, "Get up, my knight." ”

This is the completion of this temporary and simple knight initiation ceremony of the family, and Bodfinger and Telman warmly embrace: "Welcome to you, my brother. ”

Well, this sentence hasn't changed, the world is quite normal...... Lorist thought to herself.

Sedkamp happily bowed to Telman, and was very happy. The young master deserves to be the young master, and another silver three-star swordsman volunteered to join the family, which is almost unimaginable in the Northland, and the Norton family will definitely have a brilliant future under the guidance of the young master.

Sedecamp remembered a very important thing, and hurriedly reminded his young master: "Young master, you haven't prepared the family badge worn by the family knight, I have brought a pattern......"

"You ask Reddy to drive you to the heraldic shop tomorrow, by the way, the gold one is also ready, and the Borg is about to be promoted. Lorist said, stroking his forehead.

I really can't understand why Telman made such a decision, maybe this is the difference between the two worlds. In the previous life, everyone was willing to be a chicken head rather than an oxtail, but Gaintya was a family that everyone wanted to find for their allegiance, and this was the biggest difference between the two civilizations.

The more Lorist thought about it, the more he had a headache, but he still didn't think about it: "By the way, Telman, I remember that you have your own family heirloom high-level fighting spirit, right?"

"Yes, sir. Telman replied.

"Alright then, I won't prepare a vindictive cheat for you. Sedkamp, go to my study and bring that Michel steel chainmail as a gift to Telman on becoming a knight of the family. Lorist said.

Michel steel chain mail, produced in the Mishek region of the Temanda Kingdom, is known for its strong defense, especially excellent defense against puncture damage, and the annual production is very small, and the supply exceeds demand. Because Lorist wanted to return to the Northlands, in order to prevent the dark arrows from stray arrows, he specially spent three hundred gold coins to ask President Peterson to get one. It was only less than three days after I got it, and I gave it away as a gift.

"Thank you, sir. Telman was not welcome.

Lorist went upstairs, ignoring Bodfinger and Telman, who were opening the bottle in celebration: "I went up to rest, and my head hurt a little." Telman. There is also a room upstairs that is vacant and you can move in. ”

Telman resigned from the academy, and the dormitory he was currently living in was to be returned to the academy, but fortunately there was still a spare room here in Lorlist.

"Yes, sir. Telman said.

------------------ Dividing Line-------------------

Seemingly overnight, everyone living in Dawn Academy learned that Lorist was about to leave for the Northlands to inherit the realm and become a lord. When Lorist went out to go home, he met Scarlett, the director of the management office, at the gate of the residential area, and Lorist hurriedly got out of the car to say hello. Director Scarlett warmly talked to Lori Stra for a while, and then said that the north is bitterly cold, so you should pay attention to your body and be careful of catching a cold. Then she took out a sweater that she had knitted with her own hands and gave it to Lorist, wishing him a good lord.

Lorist was holding the sweater inexplicably, but he didn't say anything......

After dinner, Marin came to visit, and he brought a large box, saying that it was his wife's belongings, and gave it to Lorist as a farewell gift, and I believe that Lorist will definitely use it when he goes to the Northland.

Lorist was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly excused himself. What do you want Mrs. Marlin's belongings to do? Will you use them on the road? Do you have nothing to do with things? It wasn't until Marlin opened the box that Lorist knew that he had misunderstood, this lady was not Mrs. Other, this wife was Jenny, the mare that Marlin had always claimed to be his second wife, and in the box was a set of horse armor and saddles, as well as a pair of stirrups.

Marin caressed these things and told Lorist that they belonged to Jenny, and that now that she was too old to run, there was no other use for these things than to keep them as souvenirs. Lorist was going to the Northlands on horseback and might have to fight, so he gave these things as gifts to Lorist to add some defense.

Lorist thanked Brother Marlin and opened a few bottles of Tibetan wine for Marin to teach him to taste.

Marin taught Xi to talk about it, and while drinking, he boasted about his heroic deeds in the city defense army, and finally he was drunk and sent back.

Anfiya had come to visit the next afternoon, and she had brought a long suitcase. First of all, she told Lorist the good news that her husband, the Klude Golden Sect of Dawn Academy, had finally broken through the Golden Rank and become a Great Sword Master after half a year of retreat and hard training. This will change the situation that Dawn Academy does not have a great sword master in charge, and I believe that after the news spreads, the reputation of Dawn Academy will reach a higher level.

Lorist hurriedly congratulated, and Anfiya taught that there were seven good swords in the long box, all of which were collected by Cadence. Hearing that Lorist was going back to the Northland to take over as the lord, Crud instructed her to send these seven swords over, and said that she would go to the Northland, and she would go all the way to fight all the way, and it would be inevitable that the sword in her hand would be broken. He was very confident in Lorlist's swordsmanship, but he was worried that the long sword in Lorist's hand would not be able to kill for a long time, so he gave these seven swords to Lorist to strengthen his journey.

Lorist thanked him again and again, and wondered what gift to give back as a congratulatory gift for Crud to teach him to become a great swordsman. Anfiya saw Lorist's thoughts, smiled and said no. This time, Krud taught him to become a great sword master, and a duel with Locke last year made him feel a lot, which helped him break through the golden level a lot, as for herself, she had already learned the knowledge of pulse control from Lorlist, and it was too late to thank her, so Lorist didn't have to bother thinking about returning the gift.

Hearing Anfiya teach Xi say this, Lorist smiled, there is no gift for Crude to teach Xi, but there is really a suitable gift for teaching Anfiya, anyway, they are husband and wife. He asked Anfiya to wait, then went upstairs to get a delicate wooden box, and went downstairs to give it to Anfiya to teach.

When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised. Just as he was about to take out the gift and take a closer look, Lorist said to go back and take a closer look, and don't tell others that I got it here, I'm afraid of trouble.

Teacher Anfiya nodded, carefully holding the wooden box and going back happily.

Over the next few days, Lorist received gifts that almost filled his study, and all the teachers he knew at Dawn College sent Lorist farewell gifts, either weapons and equipment, or cold clothing, gloves, boots, cloaks, etc. Like Hughes gave a good leather armor, the knight professional Villedo sent his pair of golden spurs, and the equestrian professional Vincennes sent an Illinois house horse to Lorist, which is a kind of heavy armor knight's favorite mount, tall and long-legged, powerful and able to bear weight, intelligent and humane, extremely fast sprinting speed, but not good long-distance endurance, and relatively picky eater.

Lopov, a professor of pharmacy, directly brought a large box to Lorlist, which contained nearly 100 test tubes containing various medicines, and even wrapped and fixed, shock-proof, knock-proof and shatter-proof. Lorist was made to cry and laugh, and I didn't go back to work as a healing pharmacist, so what was it to bring a box of potions back?

------------------ Dividing Line-------------------

Fat Shi and Yuri came to visit one after another, and Lorist saw that they were empty-handed, and looked left and right as if they were gifts, so he breathed a sigh of relief and welcomed them to the living room, and as soon as he sat down, Lorist jumped up in surprise by Yuri's words.

Because Yuri said: "Locke, Brother Shi and I came to defect to you today, and both of us have resigned and are ready to be knights of your family." ”

Shi Fatzi sat on the side and puffed out without speaking......

Yuri watched as Lorist rushed into the bathroom, took a silver plate that was used as a mirror and looked at it for a long time, and then let out a long breath before coming out.

"Locke, what are you doing?" Yuri felt that Lorlister's actions just now were very inexplicable.

Lorist said, "I want to see if something suddenly grows on my face, so that I have the air of a king, so you have come to me." Now don't worry, I haven't grown anything superfluous, and I don't have any domineering spirit, so you guys came to tease me. ”

Yuri sneered, "Locke, what I'm saying is true. ”

Lorist didn't believe it at all: "Don't be kidding, my brother has a lot of things to remember in his mind now, and he is almost tired, and you guys are still coming to play me, it's too bad for a friend." ”

Yuri Masashi said, "Locke, I've really resigned. You know that I am from the Khanate of Havestan, from the steppe. If my parents hadn't saved an earl, I wouldn't have been sent to study in the city of Moriente. The last time the Earl wrote to me asking if I would like to go back to be a knight of his family, I refused, after all, my parents died for him. In Dawn Academy, although I am an equestrian instructor, those students don't respect me very much because I come from the grassland, and they call me a barbarian instructor behind my back. You know, if it weren't for your friends, I would have wanted to leave. Now that Telman has chosen to follow you, I think about it, but I still think that his choice is wise, to become a knight of your family, we can still be together, so I came. ”

"Well, your reasons convinced me, and I welcome you on board, Yuri. What's the matter with the fat man? He's not a man who wants to be a knight in someone else's family?" Lorist pouted at the fat man.

Yuri smiled: "That's the case, Brother Shi, he was stimulated in the afternoon." ”

"Stimulated? Who, I have such a great ability, I have to learn. "Lorist was curious.

"It's Telman. Yuri said.

"Impossible, how did Telman stimulate him?" Lorist was even more strange, Telman was an honest man, and only Shi Fat had always bullied him.

"Hasn't Brother Shi's father come these days?"

"Well, I know about this, and I visited it the day before yesterday. Lorist nodded.

Fat Man is not a native of Moldant City, his hometown is the Kingdom of Trimber, which is famous for producing green glass and oil glass. Fat Smith's father was a merchant who had properties and storefronts in the capital of the Kingdom of Trimber and the city of Moriente. In addition, his father is a cousin of Dean Levins and one of the long-time patrons of Dawn College. This is also the reason why Shi Fatzi is like a fish in water in the academy, and no one is held accountable for occasionally doing something out of the ordinary.

In the past two days, Shi Fatzi's father came to the academy to see him, and he had a meal with Dean Levins by the way. After eating, I walked around the academy to eliminate food. Then I happened to run into Telman and Yuri.

Yuri had something on his mind, and was wondering if he would resign like Telman, he came out of his dormitory, and when he saw the father and son of Shi Fat and Dean Levins, he had to come forward to say hello with affection and reason. As he was saluting, he saw Telman coming in from outside the academy.

Telmanpei was wearing the knightly badge of the Norton family, and he saw that Fat Shi and Yuri were of course going to come over to say hello, and he heard that Fat Stone's father had come here in the past few days and he hadn't gone to say hello, so he took this opportunity to say hello, not to mention that Dean Levins was also there, so he had to salute, so he rushed over to everyone.

Seeing that the fat man was about to laugh at the knight's badge on Telman's chest, his father grabbed him and Yuri, pulled them to the side of the road to get out of the way, and then bowed deeply to Telman, and asked very humbly: "Good afternoon, my lord, what are your orders?"

Telman Petrochemical ......

Shi Fatzi Petrochemical ......

Yuri Petrochemical ......

Dean Levins Petrochemical ......

For a while, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely strange, and Shi Fatzi's father cautiously asked again: "My lord, ...... you?"

Telman fled......

Shi Fatzi came to his senses and became angry: "Father, he is my friend, why are you doing this, it's embarrassing...... Ouch!"

Shi Fatzi's father knocked him on the head fiercely: "He is a nobleman, don't you see the family badge on his chest? The roaring giant bear is very imposing, and the badge is surrounded by a circle of laurel leaves, at least a family with a history of two hundred years." You should be respectful to him, even if it is your friend, this is not a shame, but a reverence Do you understand?"

"There are two things in this world worthy of reverence, one is the title, and the other is learning, like your cousin, he has learning, so others respect him, but learning can only make others fear him alone, and when he dies, this awe is gone. And the knighthood can keep this reverence alive, even benefiting everyone in his family. Don't look at your father as rich, but if you are rich, any country nobleman who sees him out must bow respectfully, because he has the right to punish any commoner or freeman who is rude to him, even if he kills you. ”

"Don't be unconvinced, do you want to say that it's okay for me to offend a few nobles last time? Those are not territorial nobles, those are just honorary nobles, their titles are empty, there is no territory, just like your cousin's title is knight, just a kind of honorary title, if you die, this title is gone, you can tell the difference between honorary nobles and territorial nobles by looking at the badge. Why doesn't your cousin wear a knight's badge? That's because he feels ashamed, and if you don't have territory, you don't have subordinates, and who cares about you?"

Dean Levins continues to petrochemical in the ......

"Your father is incompetent, he can't earn you a hereditary title, all you can buy with money is honorary titles, those are not rare. If you can earn a hereditary title for my future grandson, then your father will be willing to die! Don't look at your current high position in the academy, but this is a fart, to put it bluntly, it's not a stick in your cousin's hand, he will beat whoever you want, you can tell yourself, you don't look like those high-level thugs and bodyguards in the Chamber of Commerce, you look very high-status, you earn a lot of money, but you are still a lackey who is not in the stream. ”

Dean Levins petrified again......

Shi Fatzi's father sighed: "Dad used to put the hope of the family to get the title on you, but look at you now, to be honest, Dad only hopes that you can have a peaceful past in this life, and I only hope that the future grandson can fight for strength and realize the family's wishes......"

After saying these words, Shi Fatzi's father turned around and left lonely, leaving only Dean Levins, Shi Fatzi and Yuri, as well as the fallen leaves flying in the air, full of gloomy eyes......

The three of them were silent, and Yuri took the opportunity to ask Dean Levins to resign, and Dean Levins agreed.

looked at Shi Fatzi, who was still in a stupid daze, and Yuri said more: "Brother Shi is also going to resign......"

Dean Levins turned around and left, but still left a sentence: "Let's go, let's go, you all go, I hope you will go as you wish, and the journey will be safe." ”

"So, we're all resigned, Locke, and if you're not willing to accept us as your family knights, we'll have to go and be wandering knights...... Yuri said.
