Chapter 81: Don Quixote
The old knight's story seemed to be widely circulated in the town, and after the man had said a few words, someone else began to answer the call, telling some interesting stories about the old knight's past. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Of course, this is only an interesting thing for unrelated people, but it is a sad thing for the old knight himself, or for the old knight's relatives and friends.
Although the old knight no longer has any relatives or friends.
Maier sighed slightly, the road of life is actually very unfair, some people have a smooth road, while some people are tortuous, the wind and waves are continuous, and those who have poor endurance often come over with a wave, and they can never turn over.
The old knight is obviously the latter, and the waves that the old knight is facing are indeed a bit big.
As a kingdom ruled by the nobility and the temple, even if the king is enlightened, the bottom of the society is still full of a large number of injustices and injustices that are visible to the naked eye.
Born as a commoner, it is an even more difficult thing to win a high position.
The old knight had dreams when he was young, and he was willing to pay for them.
Being able to pass the initial test of knight selection, on the one hand, shows that the old knight is indeed talented, and on the other hand, it also shows that the old knight has indeed paid a lot of sweat and blood.
More than ten years of hard work, but in one day, it came to naught.
The blow was devastating and fatal.
Maier vaguely remembers his previous life, and there are also many people who choose to end their lives after more than ten years of hard work, and that situation is not as serious as that of the old knight.
After all, the current world is even more cruel.
Mel returned to the room, took out a pen and paper, and in a few moments, four words appeared in the center of the first leaf.
"Don Quixote. ā
is also a pretend knight, and will also do some unbelievable things, but Don Quixode is still luckier than the old knight.
His gun was not broken, and he had an entourage.
It is a realistic novel and a novel that satirizes the darkness of society.
When Maier brought it into the world, he made some small changes to make it more in line with the culture of the world and the reader's acceptance.
Freya occasionally converses with Mel through the conch.
As a princess of the Byzantine principality, Freya seems to be different from the princesses of the other principalities, not staying in the boudoir and pondering court etiquette all day.
Freya seems to be very talented in the knighthood path, and has recently been stuck on the threshold of a third-level knight, and is only one step away from becoming a mid-level knight.
It was a watershed moment.
Level 4 and Level 3 are two completely different concepts, one is still within the realm of mortals, at most it has improved strength, physical strength, and combat skills. In the face of ten people, you can win the battle, but in the face of a hundred people, you can only retreat.
But after reaching the fourth level, a magical thing will be born in the knight's body, this kind of thing is called qi, this qi is very powerful, it can be attacked in advance, and it can be defended in retreat.
Not only can it resist the damage of cold weapons, but it can even resist the magic of Shanghai.
This is why high-ranking knights are able to fight against mages.
Freya also brought some news of the royal city to Mel.
For example, Wren has returned to the royal city and has become an official knight.
Ellie, for example, has returned to the Pisa Library and has become a senior editor.
For example, the temple in the royal city has undergone a major renovation, and many of the older temple personnel have taken a back seat, and some younger ones have appeared in front of the stage.
Mel also told Freya about her latest story.
Of course, it's not a complete word-for-word story, but a general story, and some of the more exciting pictures.
Inevitably, the old knight's true story was told to Freya.
Freya seems to have some emotion, probably because of the living environment, Freya has not seen much of the dark side of society, and the tragedy is mostly seen from the novel.
There are some things that you can't experience without experiencing them yourself.
Therefore, Freya's worldview is still in a more idealistic state.
Freya, however, trusts that Maier will not deceive her.
And a thing like this, such a person, for a person who has always adhered to the spirit of chivalry, is very impactful, Freya vaguely felt as if she should do something.
In addition to Freya, Mel has another reader, Lily.
The priest girl is very laid-back, idle and boring.
So Maier handed the novel he had written to the priest girl, much to Lily's surprise, there is nothing better in this day and age than a novel to pass the time.
While perfecting the story, Maier prepares to cross the river where the two countries meet.
But after all, it is a border gate, and both sides are more strict, and it is not so easy to pass.
Mel didn't want to use his real identity to pass, so he had to spend a little money, bribe some low-level personnel, quietly get on the ship, and then quietly disembark.
This is a very common method used by businessmen, but unfortunately, it has not worked in recent times.
Because the Duchy of Byzantium and the Duchy of Orleans seem to be at odds with each other, there is a tendency for the two countries to have a major war, and there are quite a few soldiers patrolling the riverside.
Maier tried to get close once, but was stopped by the soldiers.
As a last resort, Mel had to look for other options.
Suddenly, a thought came to mind.
Why don't you throw a plank into the river, and then fix a door in a quarter plane to it, and wait until the plank floats across the bank, and you can successfully cross the river.
But it's not very reliable either.
The current is unpredictable, and the planks may drift across the shore, or they may be thrown downstream somewhere, and they may come out facing the ocean instead of land.
If you delay for a long time, you may even get into the stomach of some fish.
The planks are not reliable, and you still have to find a boat to be reliable.
Finally, three days later, Maier waited for this opportunity.
The envoys of the two countries were going to have a conversation in the Duchy of Orleans, which meant that there would be a ship from Byzantium to Orleans.
And it's a big boat.
It may be difficult to get into the emissary by bribing yourself, but it should be fine to walk around the ship yourself before the ship leaves.
As long as the door of the plane is fixed and the time is calculated, you can walk out of the door without anyone noticing.
In this way, your goal has been achieved.
With this in mind, Maier arrives at a dilapidated tavern with a small bag of gold coins.
