Chapter 13: Little William's Big Dreams

William didn't know that because of his modern soul, ignoring his noble eyes and attitude had caused him problems.

It's not modern, it's a barbaric Middle Ages, and even a poetic and romantic Middle Ages with a fairy tale backdrop is still Middle Ages.

Without the baptism of the French Revolution, both the king and the nobility seemed to think that they should be on top, and that there was inequality between people.

William walked towards his home, and when he saw the archway of the blacksmith's shop, and saw old William standing at the door, with an old face, the strength that had supported him to go home suddenly disappeared.

When they went home, William, Hess, Kuhn and Hans, they all followed him home.

"Welcome home, kid!"

Old William stood at the door and said in a hoarse voice, William stood in front of the door and looked at the "father" of his body, with a somewhat complicated mood.

"I'm back, father!"

William said to his father, William Sr., and walked into the house under the gaze of the other party.

"William, after you come back, don't leave, I have arranged a marriage for you, it is the daughter of Aunt Croya, you hurry up and get married, and give birth to a son for the family as soon as possible. Don't be like that, henceforth you will no longer be a child, but a husband and a father. ”

Old William took William's hand with tears in his eyes and said in a rambling voice, "My father is a blacksmith, my father's father is also a blacksmith, my father's father is still a blacksmith, so William, what's wrong with you being a blacksmith inheriting William's blacksmith's workshop, you are a blacksmith, and your future son will also be a blacksmith, as long as the blacksmithing skills are good, even the king will look down on you and call you a master, no better than those stonemasons who knock stones, why are those who carve stone statues of men and women without clothes a master master, Artists, we can't be the guests of the aristocracy, the sword is art, the trebuchet is also technology, and the cannon is art! ”

"William, I know that at your age, you yearn for Mr. Green's story of achievements, but the protagonist of Mr. Green's story is either a prince or a princess, you are just a commoner, a little blacksmith, and you will be a blacksmith in peace in the future."

Old William seemed to be afraid that his son would slip away quietly again, and he was very distressed to see his son come back in the dust, and he didn't mention anything about William stealing a few swords and helmets from the store.

While talking about the benefits of being a blacksmith, he compared his profession to that of an artist like a sculptor.

In order to express their elegance, most of the nobles would become patrons of artists such as sculptors, painters, musicians, etc., and blacksmiths did not have such treatment.

Although the best of the blacksmiths could also be called masters and become the guests of the kings, because smelting changed the form of matter, blacksmiths were often mistaken for sorcerers in the Middle Ages, and those secret and exclusive crafts were regarded as "black magic", and the nobles were not actually happy to deal with blacksmiths.

It's just that there is no need for Old William to tell Little William about these things, no matter what, as long as he passes on his unique skills to Little William, whether he inherits this blacksmith workshop or goes to a big city, he doesn't have to worry about the future of his children.

"Isn't Aunt Croya's daughter only eleven years old?"

William directly ignored what his father had just said, and the thin little daughter of Aunt Croya came to mind, a yellow-haired girl, who was still a young girl in elementary school according to modern views.

"In a few months, you will be twelve years old, and if you work hard, you will soon be a father. Wasn't your mother that old when she gave birth to you? ”

Old William waved his hand indifferently, or Jacob Green said well, water will change because of the container, and it will also grow because of the status situation.

Under the protection of his wings, William Jr. is an apprentice and receives a meager salary, then he will always be a child.

Only if he is allowed to start a family and marry a bride as a husband, or even a father, will he grow up, and will understand his responsibilities to his family, to his wife and children, and will not casually run to slay dragons because he obeys Hans's agitation.

Originally, William Lao wanted his children to find a wealthy widow, preferably a nobleman, who could not only inherit a fairly large property, but also have a suitable identity for the children in the future.

It's just that it's too late to stand, and old William feels the need to find a wife for his son, let him have a family, and then tie him up to death, and can't let him run out to risk anymore.

Where did the evil dragon come from, the cat and the dog can be slaughtered, you must know that unless the angel of the father comes, otherwise the evil dragon will slaughter the city and destroy the country, and there is no pressure at all to run rampant in this world.

"Father, I don't want to get married, I want to continue to go out on adventures, before Hans died, I had already agreed with him, I must realize the ideals of Hans, Hess, and Kuhn, I must win the world, let the people in the village take a good look, we are also promising, and we must return to the village with high eyebrows."

Wilhelm tells Hans his last wish when he is dying, and this is the wish and thought shared by the four secondary two teenagers before they leave the village.

"Win the world!" Old William's eyes widened, and with an incredible expression, as if he had seen a ghost, he said after a while, "William, what are you dreaming of!" It's all said, you're just a little blacksmith, a commoner, what qualifications do you have to say that you want to win the world. ”

"Do you think you are Alexander the Great? Or think you're our Emperor of Rome! ”

Old William pointed at William with his finger and trembled with anger, seizing the world was just a false finger, what William wanted to express was just as he said, he wanted to go out on an adventure and come back with fame.

The only thing that can make people ascend to the sky is the dragon slaying decree issued by King Thorne, no matter who it is, no matter what nationality, origin or even faith, as long as it can kill the dragon and save the princess, who can inherit the kingdom of Thorne.

The Kingdom of Thorne is a county of counties, and King Thorne is an imperial count directly canonized by the emperor, and its status is higher than that of a senior earl, a count of the Rhine, and a border earl, as long as it can develop, it can even be promoted to a duke, which is already one step away from the emperor's position.

"I don't know, father. I just want to work hard, and I don't know how far. ”

William shook his head, then raised his head and said in a lofty voice, "If God favors me, then let me take over the world, and like the King of the Ancients, I will be called 'Lord of Heaven and Territory,' 'Lord of All or of All Things,' 'King of Nations, King of the Earth, King of All People from Sunrise to Sunset.'" ”

William didn't know where the confidence came from, so he immediately spoke, holding the holy sword wrapped in cloth tightly, and looking at his father with resolute eyes.

It is impossible to waste his life in this village, and he has to fulfill his dreams and those of Hans, Hess, and Kuhn.

Bang!

As if hearing the sound of something falling on the ground, old William only felt that he was about to faint, and his mind kept recalling the blessing of the elves to William when he was born - your son will always be on the path of pursuing his dreams.
