Chapter 44: The Past of the Hometown

In the noisy tavern, with people coming and going, Berto got off his horse, handed over his beloved horse to the care of the tavern boy, and walked straight into the tavern with Tallinnam.

This is a border town in Bretonnia, with a familiar smell, a familiar sky and a lawn, and even the smell of earth seems to be fragrant.

For three years, three full years, Baron Berto set out from his own domain, he traveled the world alone, he explored everywhere, he went to the snow-stricken Nosca, slain the fierce ice wolves and saber-toothed tigers, he went to the empire, he fought the most savage beastmen in the forests, he also went to Silvania to fight the vampires, he went to Kislev to fight the necromancers, and in the Frontier Princes, they became mercenaries and bloodied the undead pirates...... Now, they're back.

Berto had an inseparable affection for his homeland. It's not that it's like a woman's delicate love plot, but a kind of ardent enthusiasm to protect and love your homeland. For the sake of this homeland, he can stand up without hesitation. Preserve his glory and dignity. For the sake of this homeland, he can be crushed to pieces, and he will not hesitate to do anything.

"My wife often says I'm a madman. ”

Sitting in the tavern and ordering a few bottles of wine and snacks, Bertor chatted with Tallinnham about his hometown. It was the first time Tallinnham had heard the old knight speak of his homeland.

"He said I wasn't doing my job, I was leaving my territory alone, and I was out there. Saying that I don't want to be motivated, that other lords have to work how to expand their territory and how to make their families richer, and I, she said that I only drink and fight all day long. ”

Berto said, taking a bitter sip of wine. Yes, pain, though he didn't say it, but Tarynham could tell that Berto was in pain, his face was very ugly, and wrinkles covered his forehead and the corners of his eyes. He looks very old.

But she didn't know! A true Bretonnian knight should travel the world, train himself, save the dead, help the weak, and punish evil! She...... She knows a!"

The old knight said, spitting out a mouthful of chicken bones and pouring another glass of wine.

"But you love her, you still love her, right? ”

Tallinnham looked at the old knight Berto and said. His voice was very calm, and the past year of getting along with him had made him familiar with this old man who was cold on the outside but fiery on the inside. He is indeed an old man, with a passionate heart and outstanding martial arts, but the world is vast and people's values are distorted. Traditional chivalry is being lost little by little. Tallinnam could see how much the man in front of him longed to return to the era when hot-blooded men sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy, how eager to return to that innocent, unpolluted era. However, he couldn't. He was born at this age, and all he saw was distorted humanity and rotten kingship.

People drink and fight, or cheat and cheat, just for the small profits in front of them.

Berto did not answer Tallinnam's words directly, his eyes darkened, he grabbed the flask and poured another glass of wine, grunting his stomach, as if this was the only way to temporarily numb his nerves.

"I love her, of course I love her......"

The old knight finally spoke.

"What about you, Tallinnam, do you have a lover?"

Bertor asked, looking up.

"I, I didn't...... I haven't even held a girl's hand. ”

Tallinnham replied shyly.

"That's good, that's good, I advise you, don't touch women in the future. Don't invest in your emotions and don't hope too much for women, they ......"

Halfway through his speech, Berto swallowed the wine on his own. It's as if wine has a magic power that can make him forget many, many boring things.

"Ah......h

Just as the two opened their hearts and talked about the past. Nearby, the terrified screams of a girl and the obscene insults of a few thugs rang out in the lobby of the tavern. Worry-free love book network

Tallinnham turned his head and saw two young men with tattoos working in front of a tavern worker. The female workers were huddled in the corner, disheveled, and looked desperately at the people around them, but no one said a word, and even the diners fled when they saw it, and walked out of the tavern door, while the tavern owner just watched, and did not dare to say a word.

I saw four or five young people approaching the girl either with their bare hands or with iron weapons. The mouth is full of dirty words.

Tallinnham was furious, and Berto sat in his seat, chewing on the nuts with a calm face.

"Go ahead, don't be merciful. ”

Finally, the old knight gave the order.

Tallinnam slammed to his feet, striding forward, his eyes fixed on a few village tyrants.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

One of the outermost thugs was about to stop him, but he was pushed by Tallinnham and pushed to the ground. Tables and chairs were toppled with a screeching sound. The other four little rascals immediately turned around with a hostile expression.

The thug closest to Tallinnham raised his dagger and rushed over, but Tallinnam, who didn't look strong, dodged the stab sideways, grabbed the opponent's dagger, flipped his wrist, and stabbed the dagger directly into the thug's heart.

Tarlinham drew his dagger again, and as the third thug swung his iron rod at him, one bent down to dodge the attack, knocking his opponent to the ground, and the dagger in his hand pressed down, and the blood-red blade pierced the thug's throat through the skin.

The remaining two hooligans panicked, and in just a few seconds, several of their companions, who were still alive just now, had become corpses that had fallen to the ground. They had never seen anyone so agile.

After staring for a moment, the two quickly fled. One tried to open the window and jump out of it, while the other tried to rush out through the door. I saw that Tallinnam first grabbed the dagger and threw it hard, and the blood-stained dagger stabbed one of them in the back during the high-speed flight, and the dagger was inserted from the cervical vertebrae, killing him with one stab.

As soon as the other rushed to the gate, he was grabbed by Talinnam's clothes and dragged back again. Just as he was about to get up, he was trampled under his feet by Tallinnam. His horse-manure-stained boots stomped on the thug's head, and before the tavernkeeper could react, Tallinnham stomped on the thug's face. Leaving a pool of red blood......

"Oh my God, what are you guys doing here?"

The tavernkeeper recovered from his fright, walked up to Talinnam, and screamed in frustration.

"Don't you see? We're helping you get rid of the villains. ”

Tallinnham whispered. Even though the fight just now was fierce, he was breathless. Cool as a cucumber.

"You can't get rid of them! You kill them, and their accomplices will come in a few days! Even if you stay here, it's useless, and when you're gone, they'll still come!"

The tavernkeeper hissed. The anxious tone and worried face made Tallinnham very helpless. helped others, but in the end was scolded by others......

"Forget it, forget it, you guys go! I'm afraid I'm going to close my shop, and I'm going to take my kids somewhere to hide. ”

The tavern owner muttered to himself. Tallinnham had no choice but to pack his belongings and prepare to hit the road again with the old knight. At this moment, the girl who had been hiding in the corner and shivering followed, and he grabbed the corner of Tallinnam's clothesβ€”

"Take me away, please. They'll come again, next time, I'll be killed......"

The girl said with tears in her voice.

Tallinnham glanced at the delicate tavern maid, and then at Bertor beside him. Berto didn't speak, just nodded slightly. Tallinnam then lifted the girl up from the ground, "Take your luggage and come with us." He said.
