Chapter 30: Those Who Love and Kill Each Other
On the western edge of the kingdom was a small town, and the whole town was a fief of a small lord. Due to www.biquge.info limited economic strength, the lords lived in the town and lived with the townsmen. In order to save money, the lord only recruited a guard to set off the façade, and anyway, there was nothing worth guarding in this town, and it needed a lot of manpower to take care of it.
Coincidentally, the lord's wife and the guard's wife gave birth on the same day, and both gave birth to a son. Because they were the same age, the guards often brought their sons to the lord's house to play with the lord's son. In this way, the two teenagers grew up day by day while playing together.
Although the lord's territory is small, his income is not low, and together with his own original savings, he also has a considerable amount of savings. When the lord's son reaches the age of ten, the lord prepares to send him to Hogwarts to test his talents. At the strong request of the lord's son, the son of the guard was also piggybacked.
Although it costs a lot of extra money to bring the guard's son, the guard and the lord have a deep friendship over the years, and the lord originally planned to fund the guard's son, but the lord's wife disagreed. Since the lord's son asked for this, the lord also got off the donkey and took out the money for the guards. Seeing that her son was so persistent, the lord's wife didn't say anything.
When the results of the test came out, some people were happy and some were worried. The son of the lord who has great hopes does not have a talent for magic, but the son of a guard who has no hope has a talent for magic. So, the days of the guard naturally entered Hogwarts to study, and the lord's son could only return to his own family's territory.
But the lord's son has experienced the prosperity of the outside world, where can he endure the loneliness of a remote town. When he became an adult, despite the opposition of his family, he went outside to become a mercenary, roaming around, and also mixed up a reputation that was not weak.
The guard's son studied hard at the school, and after being promoted to the fourth level magician, he left the school to train according to the school's rules. During one mission, the son of the guard and the son of the lord met again. The two haven't seen each other for many years, but the warmth of their youth makes them feel no strange, and the joy of reunion almost makes the two drunk.
This mission is to explore a small ruins, which are usually quite dangerous, but if they are successful, they can often be unexpected. Because of this, the people who discovered the ruins either sold the news and became rich overnight, or secretly recruited people to organize the exploration.
The mission's publisher was a merchant who stumbled upon while transporting goods, and in order to keep the secret, he killed those who delivered the goods for him. After returning home, the merchant sold all his assets and used the money to organize the team. Of course, the outside world would not have said that he had gone to explore the ruins, and that the merchants had gone in the name of avenging the death of their relatives on the way to the goods.
When they arrived at their destination, everyone knew the true goal of the operation. But the contract had been signed, and the merchant had paid him quite well, so everyone did not back down. Although it was only a small ruin, it was not low in danger, and the mercenaries led by the lord's son were almost completely killed and wounded. Eventually, a piece of magical equipment was found in the ruins.
The wealth was moving, and the lord's son suddenly became murderous when he saw this magical equipment. Although the guard's son couldn't bear it, the lord's son had already begun to make a move, and the people who were still alive had no intention of being captured, and everyone was in a mess for a while. After all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the lord's son is a person in the end, and he gradually falls behind. The guard's son saw that he was in danger, and he no longer hesitated, and with the joint efforts of the two, the others were quickly dealt with.
The lord's son put the equipment on the guard's son, and agreed to sell it after a certain period of time, and the money from the sale was divided equally between the two people. But neither of them expected that before leaving, the merchant left a letter explaining his discovery of the ruins and writing the names of the mercenaries he had recruited. The letter stated that as long as he did not return by the agreed date, he would spread the news.
The merchant's wife, who had been waiting for the merchant for a long time, spread the news according to the merchant's instructions, and then the red-eyed mercenaries soon began to search for the mercenaries on the list. Those people had already died in the ruins, and they could still be found there, and the mercenaries who couldn't find anyone quickly turned their attention to the mercenaries' families. The day before the lord's son returned home, the lord's family was killed and the whole town was bloodied.
The guards of the year also became a small lord because of a student who had studied magic, and they moved out of town early, so they narrowly escaped. In addition, the guard's son had joined the team in the middle of the procession, and the merchant had not recorded his name in the letter beforehand, and no one had traced him.
When the lord's son returned home, he saw a miserable mirror image, and he didn't know what the merchant had left behind, so the thought of the guard's son wanting to take the equipment for himself lingered in his mind. When the lord's son arrived at the town where he was guarding, he was even more sure of his thoughts, and a plan of revenge was born in the mind of the lord's son in an instant.
The guard's son, who returned to school, carefully guarded the secret until he received a letter from the lord's son, who said that he had found a buyer and asked the guard's son to return home with the equipment to trade. The son of the guard, who was terrified of this secret, was greatly relieved when he received the letter, and rushed back to his hometown with his equipment overnight.
The expected trading partner did not appear, and when the lord's son asked him to hand over the equipment with many red-eyed mercenaries, the guard's son already had a bad premonition in his heart. When they saw a raging fire in their home, the townspeople ran around under the weapons of the mercenaries, and the guards fled with their sons.
I don't want to ask why, I don't need to ask why, only death and blood can soothe the anger in my heart. The son of the guard who went on a killing spree turned into a life harvester, but the mercenaries, who had been blinded by interests, had no intention of backing down. The mercenaries succeeded in draining the Son's mana, but despite this, the Son managed to escape.
The sons of the guards who escaped began to hunt down the mercenaries, and soon, the only people who participated in the massacre that day were the lord's sons were left. When the two face each other again, the guard son finds himself unable to do it. The two stood far away and talked for a long time, and the guard's son thought that everything was clear, and the grievances between the two were over, and they forgot about each other and never saw each other again.
Later, the guard's son was attacked when he went back to worship, and he almost didn't escape all the way. Fortunately, it was the equipment that saved his life, and when the guard's son woke up, he was already in a small village.
"I am the son of the guard, and the man named Farlan who just died is the son of the lord!"
