Chapter Eighty-Nine: Old Friends
"I've lived with Black Beauty for over a decade, but it wasn't until recently that I realized I didn't know anything about it." Jude said seriously, "It has a lot of virtues in it, it is loyal and selfless, and every time I encounter danger, it is always the first to pounce, and it will not back down no matter how strong its opponent is." ”
"Well, dogs are man's most loyal friends." Li Yu said.
"For others it may be true, but Black Beauty is more of a family to me. Really, sometimes in the wild, I look into its eyes and feel like it has a lot to say to me, and the next moment it has to open its mouth. ”
"Then you should have more contact with people." The little maid interjected.
"That's what Dr. Adele told me. In short, I wanted to know more about what Black Beauty thinks. Jude said, "Carry on its legacy and live like it...... To trust, to protect something precious. ”
"What's that?" Li Yu asked.
"What you've built here, even though I still can't fully understand the teachings of the Twin Sects," the ugly-faced man said, "but I can feel that what you're doing is different from the lords on this continent and the gods of the other churches.
"It's ...... It's beautiful and fruitful, and that usually means it's coveted, and that requires someone like me to guard it, and I don't know anything else, I don't farm, I don't build a house with tiles...... But I'm pretty good at slashing people. ”
Jude patted his chest.
Li Yu didn't expect that this ugly-faced man who wandered in the wilderness all the year round and was accompanied by a black dog would look at the problem more deeply than many nobles and the strategists around them, or it was more like a primitive keen intuition.
Many people, including Ilea, saw that Li Yu wanted to form a knight order, and their first reaction was that Li Yu was influenced by that black dragon, or that he was preparing for the upcoming army of the Wing Clan.
Of course, this can't be wrong, but Li Yu is actually thinking about things that are more long-term than many people think.
He came here with a gift from another universe, which may not have been obvious at first, but as time goes on, more and more people will surely realize the preciousness of that knowledge and technology.
Li Yu didn't mind spreading the seeds of these civilizations, but only if the lords also accepted the precepts of the Shuangxiu Sect and the belief in Saturday.
This is not only for his own performance, Li Yu also sincerely hopes to make the world a little better.
He has a very clear position for himself, he is not a thinker, a revolutionary, and Li Yu does not think that he can do what the sages failed to do.
So he never wanted to turn the world upside down and change the way of production and distribution at the root.
I just hope to cut a little more cake for the workers at the bottom of the society and ensure their minimum bottom line of survival, which is the meaning of the existence of Shuangxiu Sect, and it is also Li Yu's selfishness as a worker.
And he also knows that it is such a little cake, and there are many pairs of eyes staring, because of human greed, the pursuit of profit is endless, if there is no sharp blade in his hand, he will not be able to disperse the jackal.
Later, Li Yu personally held an initiation ceremony for Jude under the tree.
After the broadcast of the magnificent symphonic version of "A Beautiful Jasmine Flower", Li Yu brought a green silicone bracelet to the hand of the ugly-faced man.
At the same time, he was also given his Christian name - George.
The name comes from a European myth of St. George slaying the dragon, which corresponds to Jude's dragon slaying deeds.
The ugly-faced man got down on one knee and completed his oath.
The moment he looked up, he vaguely saw a familiar black shadow in the forest, and the black shadow was also looking at him quietly from a distance.
Jude was overjoyed and was about to call the other party's name, but the next moment the black shadow flashed again and disappeared into the bush.
The ugly-faced man tried to catch up, but he only took two steps before he stopped.
"What's wrong?" Because Li Yu was facing away from the black shadow, he didn't see what had just happened.
"It's nothing, it's just like meeting an old friend." Jude smiled.
There was both reluctance and relief in his smile.
Then Li Yu took the ugly-faced man to find Ononde and asked the head of the Order to familiarize himself with his new deputy.
Ononder was busy training two squads of lizardmen armed with dwarven armor and weapons as they fought in the snow.
Since Li Yu had already greeted him, he was not surprised by Jude's joining.
However, some of his lizardmen warriors expressed displeasure, and others pointed at Jude with defiant eyes.
Seeing this, Ononde exclaimed, "Are your brains frozen by this damn winter, this is the Dragon Slayer, a true warrior, and you will obey his orders as you will listen to me." ”
The lizardmen warriors looked at me and I looked at you, and then one of the strongest of them spoke, "Dragon slayer, or drunkard?" I don't deny that he was very brave in that battle, but I haven't seen him touch his axe since.
"On the contrary, I often see him drunk like mud, how can such a person be our commander."
His words were echoed by many of his peers.
Onond frowned, "This is the Prophet's order. Do you not even listen to the words of the prophets......"
Jude interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Don't bother, if you want to challenge me, go ahead, if I lose, I'll get out of here." ”
"That's not necessary, but I'll have your place to sit down." The stout lizardman said confidently.
"Yes." Jude's answer was crisp too.
He'd lived in the Shuangxiu cult for a few months, and had fought alongside the lizardmen, so he was all too familiar with their tempers.
These guys adore warriors and hate cowards, so it's easy to be accepted by them, just beat them up.
As the former leader of the lizardmen, Onond also knew this, so he didn't stop it, but he was a little worried that Jude would lose, so he said to the lizardman warrior who stepped forward to challenge.
"Teucer, it's not fair to take off your armor and George won't wear it."
"No, let him wear it, anyone else who wants to challenge me can go along." Jude grinned.
As soon as he said this, both Onon and Teucer were taken aback, and the latter, in particular, felt slighted, and looked furious, and without saying a word, rushed over with the sword in his hand.
