Chapter 3: The First Turning Point 1

Life after the age of five is basically like this every day, studying in the morning, practicing in the afternoon, the art of war in the evening, and meditating before going to bed. It's just that with the growth of time, the content gradually changes, from history to geography, customs, from simple horse steps to fighting skills, familiar with weapons, and Roland reached the level of the lower level of the red halo when he was seven years old, and the subsequent training Uncle Bronn said that it is up to him, and everyone's path is different. The art of war has gradually changed from theory to battle cases and sand table exercises. Only when the peasants in the territory are busy can there be a few days of rest that are not considered rest, and the father's so-called pro-people, that is, working in the fields. Gradually, Roland also changed from ignorance to knowledge. But that all changed when Roland was ten years old.

Autumn of the 103rd year of the Sibei calendar. This year, the entire territory was preparing for the next harvest season as usual, because the bandits in the territory were basically exterminated, so the security army in addition to the necessary stay, also basically went to help. And the red leaves on Mount Blair are also bright again at this season, and a gust of wind blows, fluttering and sprinkling, like that brisk elf, fiery red and noisy. Since the two uncles of Bron and Yuwen Baixiao have almost taught over the years, Roland has finally been free. Only at night, sometimes I have to go to my father's sand table to practice.

On this day, the weather was exceptionally bright, with flying autumn leaves, noisy crowds, and everything seemed so peaceful. Walking through the streets of Blair City, feeling all this, the blacksmith's boy received the joy of receiving the reply of his beloved girl, the joy of the children playing, the satisfaction of the busy people, and the solemnity of the security forces still on duty, and many emotions that could not be experienced before, seemed to have a little understanding. After Roland condensed the halo when he was seven years old, Uncle Bronn once said to Roland that when you condense the halo, when the red is promoted to orange, you have to find your own way, everyone's ** and spirit are different, ** can continue to exercise and improve, but the spirit can only be truly embodied when you find your own way. Each rising layer of halo is a deeper understanding of one's own path. Only in this way can you improve your own strength, otherwise you can only stop at one stage. My halo appeared early, which can only mean that my ** and spiritual resonance are good, and my foundation is more solid than others. In the past three years, Roland has not found the path he wants except for repeated exercises in basic skills, and as he grows older, he sometimes finds that his father seems to be planning something, and it is related to Roland. And today's stroll, Roland seems to have caught something.

"Drive~~ The people in front of you get out of the way, there is an urgent document!" When Roland was about to arrive at the city gate, there was a shout, and through the city gate, he saw a horse in the distance rushing towards the city gate. But what makes people wonder is that his clothes are not soldiers from Blair's territory, although there are some similarities. Although many of the masses were confused, they got out of the way.

"Stop, who are you, what are you doing?" said the captain on duty at the city gate. The man on the mount stopped, did not dismount, and handed the officer on duty a passage document. After reading the documents, the lieutenant ordered the guards at the city gate, brought another horse and led the newcomer to the prince's palace. The people on the road began to talk a lot, and many people of some age said that it had been a long time since they had seen such an urgent thing, and the last time was when the prince first came to the territory. Because he was still young, his father in the territory had not let Roland participate in political affairs, so although Roland was also confused, he continued to wander through the city alone, intending to continue to find the insights he had just had.

"Your Royal Highness, the prince has something to ask you to go back. Not long after Roland left the city gate, he was found by one of the guards in the palace. After speaking, he directly guided Roland to the carriage behind him.

"Well, I know, let's go. ”

Not long after, Roland returned to the palace, and when he entered the main hall, he saw the messenger he had seen at the gate of the city before, and the messenger was not in a hurry at this time, but with a sad face, he walked quickly to the outside of the palace. "Father, I'm back, do you have anything to do with me?" Roland shouted when he entered the main hall, but then he found that something was wrong, Yuwen Baixiao and Bron, as well as some other main leaders of the military and government, were there, and the entire hall was extremely quiet, and a sense of depression came to his face. And the Prince of Ceylon always inadvertently flashed a few times of worry between his eyebrows. After hearing Roland's inquiry, he looked at Roland quietly as if he had determined something.

"Roland, how old are you?"

"15 years old, Father. ”

"What level of martial arts have you reached?"

"Halo went up the stairs and never found his way, so"

"There's no hurry, when you grow up, you'll know what path you're going to take. I called you over today to tell you one thing, the entire Blair territory will be yours in the future, so you have to be familiar with this territory and protect this territory, so after I discussed with several of your uncles and uncles, I decided to let you form a small team, the size of 10 people, and you have to start trying to shoulder your mission. Going back, these uncles and uncles will choose the best for you from their subordinates. ”

"Yes, Father. If I see someone I like in the future, can I recruit them into the squad?"

"Yes. Okay, you can step down. Tomorrow your uncles and uncles will bring you somebody. ”

"The boy is now gone. After saying that, Roland quietly withdrew from the main hall.

"Prince!" After Roland had moved away from the main hall, Bron roared from inside the main hall, full of confusion and incomprehension. And Yuwen opposite him also did not have a leisurely expression, looking at the figure on the upper seat full of questions. The rest of the crowd didn't show much of it, but they also found it incredible.

"Don't worry, everyone, don't you have 3 months left. It's not that I won't tell Roland that there are things he knows that won't do him any good. Let's wait until he has a certain strength. ”

"But Your Highness, the death of the old king is imminent, and this is an important opportunity for you. The other Highnesses pushed you here, and now is a good time to go back. Bronn said again.

"Although now that the sect has sent someone to report it, if we go back like this, it will basically be that meat bun. I can see the performance of Roland's child in the past few years. What I need now is to put to use what he's learned over the years as a wonder soldier. You know, what we have here, it's clear over there. ”

"But why don't you tell Roland about these things, and you haven't let Roland touch anything related to the Principality for the past few years. At this time, Yuwen Baixiao asked slowly.

"I want him to find his way naturally, rather than forcing something to choose his path. Okay, let's all disperse. Just go according to your plan. ”

"No!" said the crowd.
