Chapter 1: Departure
In the Nord family, in order to cultivate more talents and new forces for the family, every slave belonging to the family, and their heirs have a chance to take the entrance examination of the family fighting academy before the age of 12. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a slave of the Nord family, as long as you can pass the exam, you are eligible to study in the Douqi Academy, which also means that you have the opportunity to change the fate of the slave. This opportunity may be due to the success of his studies and the appreciation of the lord, or it may be because he is attached to a certain high-ranking student in the academy, or maybe it ......
However, it is not easy to pass this entrance examination, because according to past experience, there is only a 1 in 10 chance that the children of slaves will actually pass the examination and obtain the entrance qualification.
On July 20, 999 in the Magic Calendar, there were 3 days left before the entrance exams for the children of the Nord family's slaves.
It was an important day for the two brothers, Zeqi and Zare, as Jessica's two sons, one of the Nord family's slaves, were to leave for the Nord family's Douqi Academy's exam site today.
Since everyone only gets one chance, they cherish it very much.
This year, the elder brother Zeqi was 12 years old, and the younger brother Zareth was 10 years old.
"Zechi, Zare, come here. Jessica called her two precious sons to her side, "How's everything being packed?"
"Mom, we're all pretty much cleaned up. Two sets of clothes per person, as well as more than ten days of wheat cakes, and two bamboo tubes of water. As an elder brother, Zeqi patted the sackcloth cross-body bag on his body and replied with high morale.
"Yes, Mommy, and Daddy's Fighter Badge. The younger brother Zareth took out the badge hanging on his chest and said proudly, "He will definitely protect my brother and me to pass the exam." ”
The badge is golden yellow, and on one side it is engraved with a fighter meditating cross-legged, and on the other side is the name of the owner.
"Kun" - that's exactly the name engraved on the badge, which is also the name of Zeqi and Zare's father.
Seeing this badge, both mothers Jessica and Zeqi fell into infinite melancholy.
"I must be a fighter like my father!" Zareth suddenly clenched his father's badge with an excited expression.
"Hehe, come on, brother!" Zeqi raised his fist.
"Well, come on, brother!"
Jessica looked at the fighting spirit of her two precious sons and said happily: "The entrance exam is difficult, and sometimes there is even a danger of death, so I asked Zareth to take the entrance exam two years early, so that the two of you can take care of each other and help each other." Zeqi, you are the elder brother, you have to take care of the younger brother more. ”
"Mom, don't worry, I will do my best to help my brother pass the exam!" Zeqi looked at his brother, bit his mouth, and had a serious expression.
Zareth pursed his lips, raised his fist, and said excitedly: "Brother, let's come on together!"
Zeqi nodded slightly, but there was a hint of wandering in his eyes, and then, he said resolutely: "Okay!
Jessica smiled happily, then moved her gaze to her husband's badge and said, "You must keep the micro-badge left by your father before his death, and you can't lose it no matter what." ”
At this, Jessica's face sank again, and she seemed to choke up a little.
Zeqi knew that when he talked about his father, his mother would be sad, and he hurriedly said: "Got it, Mom, we should get up, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the carriage of the manor." ”
"Uh-huh, I'll take you to the main house. Jessica said.
"Mom, your legs are inconvenient, let's go by ourselves, we know the way. Zeqi was worried about his mother. In the year of my father's death, my mother was so sad that she accidentally fell off an apple tree and broke her leg because she was not attentive at work.
"It's okay, don't look at my legs are not as good as yours, I still walk faster than you. Jessica insisted.
"But it's more than two hours to walk from here to the main house of the manor, and you'll be very tired. Zeqi knew that in short distances, his mother might be faster than his brother and me, but if she walked for a long time, her mother would be tired and her legs hurt and she would sweat profusely.
"Yes, Mom, you have to trust us. Zareth also persuaded.
"Well, my two little darlings have grown up. It's time for mom to get to work, too. ”
"Then let's go, goodbye Mommy!" Zeqi waved back to his mother as he walked, and his brother Zareth also waved back.
Jessica also hurriedly waved her hand, "Well, be careful!"
Saying goodbye to their mother, the brothers ran out of the house like a rush, neither of them had left the Apple Manor where they were now since they were born, and now they were going to the Nord Family Douqi Academy located in the main city of the Nord family, Nord City, naturally they were excited.
This apple manor is also a large manor, and from Jessica's residence to the main house of the manor, you have to pass through several apple orchards and several vegetable gardens and wheat fields for the manor's own food.
At the speed of Zeqi Zere, it would take more than two hours to walk normally, but it was not difficult for the two of them, who had lived in the manor since childhood.
The two of them trotted all the way, copied every path, drilled every fence hole, and jumped when they met a stream, like two cheerful elves. The rustling of the breeze, the sizzling of the stream and the crisp chirping of the birds seem to be playing a symphony to see them off, wishing them a triumphant return.
Even the flying dandelions and colorful butterflies danced around them to the symphony.
Whenever they passed, those who were working in the garden looked happily at the pair of teenagers who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.
Although they trotted all the way, the two did not forget to say hello to their acquaintances passing by.
"Hello Uncle Egger!"
Iger is picking apples.
"Hey, come on!" Egger gave them a fist.
"Hmm!"
......
"Hello Aunt Elaine!"
Elaine is packing apples in a basket.
"Hey, slow down! Elaine straightened up and pointed at them with a smile.
......
"Brother Dolon, you're picking apples. Zech said as he ran.
"yes. I'll give you an apple. The boy named Doron threw Zeqi an apple in the tree.
Zeqi decisively caught the apple, took a deep breath near his nose, and then decisively threw it back into the apple under the tree, "I don't want to have my hands broken!"
"So cowardly, don't be so cowardly during the exam...... "Before Doron finished speaking, the two of them had already run away.
In this way, what would have taken them two hours to complete, they ran in more than half an hour.
The main house of the manor is a stately stone house, with three floors, and the windows on each floor are made of green glass as window doors, and the steel bars that cling to the window doors block the window opening.
At the top of the main house wall is a rectangular stomping wall with a battlement, and on each raised battlement wall hangs a Nord family flag about the size of the wall, the flag is green as a whole, and a yellow fierce wolf head is painted in the center, and the fierce expression of the wolf head flutters in the whirring wind, as if mocking those weak.
Zeqi and Zareth arrived at the door of the main house, and by this time many children had already arrived.
Some of these children are with their parents, some are chatting in groups, and some are alone. Although they grew up in the same manor, Zech and Zareth didn't know each other, and some had never even met.
"You...... You guys, so fast!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
