Chapter 37: A Rare Experience

After a tiring day, the three of them ate something with water and went to rest early. It's not that they are physically tired, it's just that when they first came to the convoy, the three of them felt a little depressed, just like the wild horses on the grassland were so violently reined that they felt a lot of discomfort, so they planned to rest early so that they could have the energy to hurry tomorrow.

I set off early the next morning, and the journey was still uneventful, just like yesterday. It's just that today the three of them had a rare chat with a coachman named Carpenter, perhaps because the coachman saw that they were not like those noble children they had met before, one by one, they looked at people with a pair of colored glasses, and always talked about the nobility of the nobility, especially from time to time to show off the knowledge they had gained from school, if they could do magic with both hands.

The three men, who had no aristocratic atmosphere at all, pleased the simple Uncle Carpenter, as if he had seen the appearance of the famous scholars in his town, and took the initiative to talk to them. Originally, they were often out for months, and they were already very talkative, and even their words were not much less than those of the noble ladies who stayed at home, but when they met the three Davians, and seeing that they were all younger than themselves, they regarded them as the kind of pampered vases that had never gone out, and picked up some things in the convoy that only civilians could touch. If it weren't for Lena's presence, he would have said something about the deeds that the noble women had seen in private.

Uncle Carpenter is in the prime of his life, forty-one years old. The brown beard and his rough voice suddenly made people feel close, and Davian felt that such a person had some love. The unknown animal skin was casually placed on Uncle Carpenter's broad shoulders, revealing his tanned skin more or less, and wearing an old, inferior leather armor, which I don't know when it had never been replaced with a new one, and from the point of view of workmanship, it is estimated that the defensive effect of this leather armor is also doubtful. It's just that if the convoy is so critical that it needs him to charge, then it probably doesn't matter whether there is a good leather armor or not.

Although Uncle Carpenter is nearly middle-aged, he has only one son under his knees, which is unbearable in a commoner family like theirs. Because of this, his elderly mother quarreled with him a few times, saying that although the family was not rich, they could still afford to have one or two more children. Unfortunately, Uncle Carpenter still likes to walk around and does not want to stay in the fields. Compared with guarding that little harvest every month, it is better to beg the noble lord to collect less taxes, and it is better to talk to these old guys in the convoy and be happy.

"Then Uncle Carpenter, don't you miss home?" Lena grew up without parents, and was taken by the old magician when she was a few years old. Although the old magician was a bit of an alcoholic, and when she was young, she often had to support the old magician's heavy body and serve him a bowl of sobering soup in a puff, but the old magician was indeed very kind to her, and treated her as his only granddaughter, so Lena could understand the difference between having family by her side.

"yes, don't you want to see your son every day?" Davian, who had been with his family since he was a child, still had a hard time understanding such thoughts.

Uncle Carpenter's expression was stunned, and his left hand, which had been waving happily before, was also a beat slower before slowly falling, as if a precise clockwork had suddenly stuck somewhere. The brown beard also seemed to lose its luster at the moment, and drooped.

"Well, who doesn't want to stay with their son every day, but. Uncle Carpenter shook his beard and stroked the horse's neck with his right hand. "Maybe I'm such a person, I'm used to days like this. When I'm tired, go back. ”

In the evening.

As soon as Davian sat down, he saw Thuris coming from not far away. "The people over there have divided a part of it to buy goods and buy some supplies, so there are a bit of understaff, so you can go over and help. Gentle words came out of his fanged mouth, always looking a little weird.

"Okay, we'll go right away. In response, the three of them cleaned up and rushed over.

I found a place to unload the goods, and I was about to ask people how to do it, but I found that others didn't seem to care about me, and I would be avoided by others before I could speak, and my attitude was very cold. In the end, there was a more enthusiastic mercenary who pointed it out for them. "No, it's the stuff in the carriage over there, just move it there. After saying that, he took care of himself and did things on his own, as if he didn't want to have too much intersection with the three of them. Davion didn't understand the reason for this, and Lena thought thoughtfully, only Priest silently began to lift the goods.

The three of them were like outsiders this night, silently carrying the goods, and then returned to the room with a stomach full of grievances and questions.

"Why do you say?" Davion said, turning to Priest.

"It's not because of the little city lord. Priest even slept in such a serious and old-fashioned position, lying straight on the bed. "I've never seen them have a good face with the nobles when I've been out there before, and the real indifference behind the scenes is their inner feelings. Class, alas. Priest shook his head.

Davion understood something. "In that case, there's no need to hate us so much. ”

"The blood of the nobles is the same, and it smells of gold and nobility. They don't think about where the hell you're from, they just know that we're standing behind us and that's enough. ”

Davion was silent, and after Priest nodded, he didn't have anything to do. The class forcibly divides the people of the same world into different circles, and the people on the outside rush to see the imaginary scenes in the ivory tower, but they have to put a disgusted expression on themselves to show that they are not in the same league as the noble old ladies and gentlemen who only want pleasure, even if many of them are not sincere.

In the next few days, in addition to chatting with Uncle Carpenter, the three of them also slowly got acquainted with some of the mercenaries around them. Compared to the servants and squires accompanying the convoy, Priest and Lena were more familiar with these low-level mercenaries. In addition, these mercenaries do not belong to the convoy in the first place, and they can only be regarded as temporarily playing a protective role, and they have no master-servant relationship with Weilin, so they should be relatively open to these three people. After a little contact, I found that the three of them didn't have any fights, Priest and Lena had often dealt with these ordinary mercenaries when they were training alone, and Davian also inevitably ran to the mercenary guild, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that the two sides had a lot of common topics, so it was still easy to get acquainted. Mercenary, a profession hovering on the verge of life and death, many people take their identity very lightly, maybe God will summon them someday, who can manage so much.

From their mouths, Davian also learned about the backs and scenes of the two men two days ago. Charles is the bodyguard of the Joseph family, and his rank is only eight, which is not too high, but he is a steady person and can do things, so many things will be asked to do by Thuris. He has always been cold to people, and he is also relatively picky about tasks, and he can't see people procrastinating, so he would reprimand the three of them that day. But he is not a sinister villain, and he will not do anything to stab him in the back and betray his own people, and everyone has a good impression of him on weekdays. Another swordsman, Derek, is well-known in the mercenary world, and is known as the "Sword and Shield", the reason is naturally the broadsword in his hand. Davion didn't look closely that day, only that the broadsword behind him looked a little bigger than the others. In fact, if Derek's broadsword were taken to the blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith or dwarf, he would get an answer from them.

"I swear in the name of the King of the Dwarves, this is definitely the widest broadsword I've ever seen in my dwarf xxx's life. ”

That's right, in addition to the large, extremely wide blade of Derek's broadsword is the most significant point. He is called "Sword and Shield" because he is one of the few defensive mercenaries who abandon the shield and directly defend with the blade. The unusually wide sword body still has some traces of unrepaired, and the blades on both sides are extremely heavy, obviously this sword is more used for heavy slashing attacks, all used as a heavy weapon. Davion had the illusion that the broadsword was only a little bigger, and it was entirely because of Derek himself. Derek himself is tall, not only is he more than two meters tall, but his extra-wide shoulders make him look like a huge shield, and this broadsword naturally doesn't look so huge on his back. Derek's personality is as steady and taciturn as his name, Sword and Shield. But once it starts, he is definitely the most reliable partner. He was as silent as the towering Alps, silently blocking all attacks for his teammates. His broadsword is not inferior to those huge shields, his defense is absolutely first-class, the name of the sword and shield is also very loud in the mercenary world, his personality and ability make everyone who comes into contact with him give a deep thumbs up to this burly man, and many tasks like this kind of escort will find him.

After getting the news, Davian couldn't help but look at Charles and Derek more on weekdays, trying to find what he could learn. The rare opportunity to be with these mercenaries instead of being a silent bystander in the guild, Davion felt his whole soul excited, and the idea of the future once again filled his chest, making him want to fight a big battle.
