Chapter 20: Lord Charry's Advice
In the room, Aina walked back and forth and pondered, and suddenly said with a pause: "It's a good thing to enter the army training, you can learn more fighting skills, but being a knight of his euphemism, I'm afraid it's ......"
Avril put her arms around Orta's shoulders and rubbed his long hair, looking loving, anyway, her son Orta was already a great lad, and she had just been promoted to knight, which made her proud. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I don't agree with being a knight from his eup. Leo on the side suddenly said, "This Will gives me the feeling of being very arrogant and selfish, which is a common problem of nobles, and I feel that he is not very strong, although he always shows a gentle and humble side, I have no opinion on entering the army, but I must not let Orta be his servant in the future, this person is very insecure." ”
Aina nodded and said, "I originally planned to wait for Lord Charity to come, let him preside over the promotion ceremony for Ota, and then let Orta be Lord Charry's subordinate to join his guards to hunt orcs, after all, Brother Oka and I have both been subordinate to Lord Charry, and I know his personality very well." ”
"But now... This Marquis of Will is higher than Lord Xia Rui in terms of official position in the army and noble rank, and the conditions he promised to Outa are also very tempting, after all, the noble academy is only open to the children of high-ranking nobles, and Lord Xia Rui is not qualified to recommend it. ”
Hearing this, Leo and the others were silent, after all, the training and combat power in the army are more than a step above the others, and it goes without saying that Ota will get better development in the army, and the noble academy is not something that anyone can enter, it must be a noble noble child, or a child of the nobleman who swears eternal allegiance to the nobles, only in this way can he get a chance. But such an ethereal promise will also make many towns snatch their heads, and that is an opportunity to jump into the dragon gate.
When Ota thought of the secret hidden in his body, he couldn't help but be a little worried, once he recited the beast language and mobilized the mysterious light in his mind to recover the fatigue of his body, his body would emit a hazy light, especially at night, this light would be particularly conspicuous. And he is also secretly practicing the light mask technique, which is the same as the skeleton cover of the black-robed witch, indestructible, but because there is no magic bead weapon to assist the existence for a short time.
If these secrets were accidentally discovered by other sergeants, Orta believed that he would definitely be treated as a foreigner, and through the bard's singing, Orta heard that there were elves, dwarves, The orcs are all located in a corner of the continent, and even the legendary dragons may exist, and those aliens who occasionally wander to the human area for some unknown reason will be captured by the army and imprisoned by the city-state for people to see, I heard that there is a imprisoned dwarf in the city-state of Kurgea, and every time the open day of the gladiatorial arena, he has to be taken out for exhibition, which is not what Ota wants.
Besides, he is very interested in forging, and he can quickly immerse himself in it every time he forges, and Leo Daddy said that he has a talent in this area, and there are many more profound skills waiting for him to learn, if he goes to the army at this time, he will be subject to strict discipline, and I am afraid that there is no time to learn blacksmithing.
Thinking of this, Orta was a little upset, just then there was a neighing of horses outside the door, and the ground shook slightly, and then the door of the house was pushed open, and Danno shouted happily: "Brother Aina, Lord Charrie and his guards have arrived ......"
Lord Xia Rui is a tall and fat man with a thick beard and a shiny bald head.
After Lord Xia Rui dismounted, he laughed and hugged Aina fiercely, and he spoke loudly, and his subordinates and the commanders of the Guards were also familiar with Aina, and even brothers of life and death who had been on the battlefield together, so the atmosphere of the meeting was extremely warm, when it came to the death of Brother Oka and his demon slayer members, everyone sighed, and Lord Xia Rui even hugged Ota in his arms and comforted him, causing Avril to cry secretly.
In the tavern, when Aina mentioned that the Marquis of Will wanted Orta to join the army, Lord Charry frowned and listened, wiped a handful of wine foam from his thick beard, and whispered, "I heard that Will's army has the highest casualty rate among the city-states, do you know what that means?"
Seeing that everyone else was contemplative, Lord Xia Rui sneered and continued: "That means that the army has become his private army, just a tool for him to earn meritorious deeds, and the lives of those soldiers are no different from orcs in his eyes, they can all be discarded, of course, I have only heard of these, but it is an indisputable fact that the number of deaths in his province is the highest among the nobles of the Kurgea city-state. ”
Aina and the others looked at each other in shock, while Lord Xia Rui took a sip of the ale and continued: "As for the Noble Academy, I think it's better to forget it, Orta is so young, he can't send him to death for an illusory promise, it's simply meaningless. Besides, in addition to the noble academy in the city-state, there are also civilian academies, and the students recruited are the elite of the commoners. As far as I know, in the annual academy competition, those students from civilian backgrounds performed very well, except that the weapons and equipment were worse than those of the aristocratic students, and the willpower, combat effectiveness, etc., were not bad at all, and even individual students surpassed them. ”
The eyes of Ota on the side lit up, he knew about the civilian academy, but the teachers were much worse in teaching, but the hard work and hard work of the civilian students were incomparable to the noble academy. It's just that because the aristocratic academy has a huge investment in the research of weapons and equipment, etc., in the annual academy competition, the civilian academy always loses more and wins less.
At this time, I heard Lord Xia Rui continue: "Let Ota join my guard, I can learn the latest combat skills here, and many of the guards are Okka's old brothers, and they will definitely save Otta's life at a critical moment." When the situation is stable, I will recommend Ota to go to the Civilian Academy, and I can still do that. ”
Aina and the others couldn't help but be happy when they heard this, Lord Xia Rui's personality is still very trustworthy, and even Orta on the side is very happy, so that he can not only learn the latest swordsmanship, but also have time to learn forging at night, since the camp of the guards is in the middle of the village near the drawbridge, he does not have to live in the camp to worry about his secret being discovered.
The delighted Ota Fei ran out of the tavern, he was going to the barracks outside the village to reply to Marquis Will.
"Oh? it turned out to be Xia Rui's guards, well, since you've made your decision, then good luck, young man. The corner of Marquis Will's eyes narrowed imperceptibly for a moment, and then he smiled gently.
When Ota thanked him again and again and left, Marquis Will smiled warmly, and scolded in his heart: "Xia Rui, you old dog has once again done bad things for me, this is the fourth time that I have been prevented from recruiting Yi Cong, my reputation will be ruined in your mouth, and one day I will take it back with interest." ”
When night falls, the tavern is brightly lit, people drink to their heart's content, and drunken men talk wantonly, consciously or unconsciously showing the strong muscles and hideous wounds under the tattoos to the women who pass by. They have endless meat words, dishonest moves to attract a burst of ridicule, in order to have a spring breeze with a woman, even a few seconds ago they were drinking together and calling each other, and after a few seconds they can fight with a blue nose and swollen face......
These images have become the most common sight here, and even the villagers of Xiluo Village are no longer strange. For it was clear to everyone that in a few days these rough men would be on the battlefield, and they would face hundreds of thousands of orcs, a raging and bloodthirsty race, with strong muscles, sharp teeth, and sharp claws.
They are not afraid of pain, and they don't know what death is, because they only have the most primitive survival instincts, which are killing and food, and of course, human women for mating, which is also the origin of the orc race.
Although these rough men all have indifferent expressions, everyone knows clearly in their hearts that the moment they step on the battlefield, that is, when they face death, only God knows whether they can come back alive, so they will drink uncontrollably, laugh unscrupulously, want to spend the night with every woman, and vent their fears and uneasiness before going to the battlefield, and all this, everyone feels that this is a normal thing.
But there was one exception, when hairy boys like Sawyer and Tetsuo were hanging out in the tavern, Ota was sweating in front of the casting table, his face and body were flushed by the fire, his wet hair was tied back of his head, and a sledgehammer in his hand was wielding freely, like a curtain of light, and his crisp voice was like the notes of a nightingale, happily lingering in the cabin.
The solid muscles kept beating with the swing of the casting hammer, like a dancer dancing on a beautiful note in the sound of the blow, his expression was so quiet and focused, already deeply immersed in the wonderful world of forging, forgetful and devoted.
