Chapter 16: Max's Ancestral Teachings

Li Laifu smiled and walked out of the legendary little attic, but behind the smile there was an inexplicable tragedy, like a glorious knight who had galloped on the battlefield ushered in the last sunset in his life.

The sunset is about to fall.

Ignoring a few strange eyes, his footsteps were like a war drum hanging on the waist of the Kodo beast on the battlefield of the northern orcs, rapid and boiling, the destination has never been a problem that Li Laifu needs to worry about, the muddy land in the old butler's mouth, he knows very well where it is.

A legend of the Max family once said:

"It may be a sorrow to live in one's own dreams, but if you even dream and murmur about the vanity of the grace and kindness of the God of Light, then you are not even qualified to be sad. So, my sons and grandchildren, my descendants, please give your life to yourself, and if you must believe in those puppets, well, then please give me back the surname that belongs to me, and if you do not want to, then I can exchange it for the golden twin swords in my hand, but you must carry your head. ”

This may sound inexplicable to some people, but unfortunately this demonic whisper reached the ears of some powerful fellow in Elder Cathedral, like a thunderclap, which woke up the sleeping god of light, and then the supreme god of the believer became furious and threw his endless anger at a small family that should be regarded as small as dust in his eyes

The old Viscount Goulet stroked the statue in front of him with great melancholy, but the smile on his face seemed to be tangled as if he was about to cry.

The mud looked a little more noble than the ones that were pinched into the fourth patriarch, Max Faro, for not only did the statue not have layers of filthy cobwebs, but it also had a small oval Mithril base.

One ton of Mithril Stone can refine about three grams of Mithril, and about one ton of Mithril can be exchanged for three thousand gold coins, which is enough to maintain any viscount in the Tustin Kingdom for various expenses in a day, including handouts to the poor, and there are about four hundred viscounts in all the territories of the Tustin Kingdom.

In other words, this small oval-shaped stone is worth as much as a plate of fresh wild boar meat on the table of a lowly nobleman.

There is only one person in the history of the Max family who has such a 'privilege' and 'luxury' treatment.

Once one of the founding fathers of the Kingdom of Tustin, the supreme servant of the dragon, he was a ninth-order dark gold knight who was canonized as 'Brilliant Light' by the ruler of the kingdom, and a rebel who pulled the Max family into the abyss with wild words, his name is Max Aurelius.

"Ancestor, are you a hero or a sinner?"

The old viscount's questioning tone was whispering a question that had not been settled for thousands of years, but this feeble whisper was suddenly interrupted by a steady and powerful footstep.

A smile of anticipation appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the old nobleman, whose hair was as wild as a male lion, knew that the man who was supposed to come had finally arrived.

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but the premise that shaped it all was not only fate, but also some irreparable price.

"Emery, word has reached from St. Fyth, and if there is no problem, you will be able to leave this shabby and filthy land tomorrow, but I also hope that you will stop your hasty steps for a while, and take one last look at these old and unbearable fellows, because maybe you will never have a chance again,"

Gurlett didn't even look back, just looked up at the statue of the head of Max's family and said so softly.

Li Laifu was stunned.

He thinks that the old viscount will at least consume some brain cells to make up a white lie, similar to our Max family is with the god of light, the spirit of the old ancestor Aurelius is immortal, and so on. But Li Laifu really didn't expect him to say these words so bluntly.

This kind of saying is tantamount to 'go and pay homage to your ancestors before you go, because it won't be long before their ashes will be thrown into the sea'.

Now he wanted to walk over, patted the old man on the shoulder and said with a smile on his face: "Hey, man, what does this mean, is it a tactful farewell? I just went to a relatively tall ivory tower to be gilded, isn't that so, shouldn't you remind me not to fight and study hard, and to find a good job in the Holy See of Light when I grow up?" ”

But he can't do it, because if he leaves, he may never be able to come back, the kingdom of Tustin has been floating in the ups and downs for decades, the shadow hidden behind the light is waiting for the opportunity to move, and those explosives that have accumulated for thousands of years can not be stored for too long, if nothing else, Li Laifu's departure is the fuse that ignites these explosives.

In fact, all this has been foreshadowed for a long time, starting with the man behind Memphis, Motha's black humor, to the gloomy servants in Max's mansion, and the recent dedication of the old butler in the mouth of the old Viscount Goulet, there is no doubt that one thing is not revealed.

The last tranquility is coming to an end, and storms will descend on the kingdom at the southern tip of the continent.

Li Laifu re-examined the old man in heavy knight's armor, he suddenly remembered a person, once lived in a world made of reinforced concrete, there was a man called 'father', they were all so similar, with a not majestic body to support the group of people behind them, smiled bitterly, continued to laugh when tired, occasionally drank some wine, slept a little, woke up and continued to run, it seems that they were born to be cheap, but ah, who knows their suffering.

Li Laifu wanted to speak and stopped, the corners of his mouth opened a few points and then closed, he didn't know what to say, looking up at the fourth head of the Max family, Faro, who had firm eyes, and then shifted his gaze to the first ancestor Aurelius, as well as several other legends of different eras, Li Laifu found for the first time that he had unconsciously condensed inextricably linked with this family called 'Max', as if in his blood, there was also a fragrance from a foreign land.

With the silence of the old viscount, Li Laifu's gaze gradually became firm.

"God of Light, I, Max Emory, swear with my life, that if I do not receive the noblest and most glorious glory, and I cannot regain the faith and spirit that belong to the knights, I will never appear before my ancestors. The swords of the family crest are crossed, and the golden rays of the two swords shine brightly, just like the sun, and as sincere as my heart. ”

Viscount Max Emory swept away the playfulness from his face, his face solemn, his feet on his feet, and his silver boots kicked up the dust on the ground.

Max's title and mansion were already old, as if he couldn't stand to step on it too strongly, the old viscount looked at the bastard in front of him and smiled, without the hypocrisy unique to the nobles of those kingdoms, this was a sincere smile.

Gurlett seemed to remember something, and the smile on her face did not wane.

"Little Emery, what are the eight spiritual beliefs of knights, do you remember? ”

Li Laifu shrugged his shoulders, it was easy for him, that little attic had given him countless knowledge, even other races outside of the human race, not to mention some ridiculous chivalry code and the like.

"Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, mercy, honesty, justice, soul, the eight spirits shine on the world, and the righteous knight will be blessed by the god of light. ”

Li Laifu's mouth is like a river, and he has the demeanor of a god.

The old viscount nodded, but his smile was retracted, his golden hair fluttered wildly in the wind, he slowly lowered his head, and sighed melancholy: "The eight rules of knights, very right, word for word, just like me once was." But ah, little Emery, you have to remember, just remember the eight spirits and forget the ridiculous puppet gods. ”

Li Laifu was stunned again, but this time it was not because of shock, but because there was a feeling of crying and laughing.

I'm a knight? no, no, no, I'm supposed to be a jerk.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will not be superstitious about the so-called gods, and besides, I can't do any of the eight rules of knights I just mentioned. ”

Li Laifu smiled and said these words enough to make him be tied to the gallows and hanged by those fanatical believers, which was tantamount to Satan's whisper in some people's ears, but here, in front of the Max family, the old Viscount Goulet, it was as comforting as a spring breeze blowing through the central streets of Tustin and symbolizing the arrival of a hopeful season.

The old viscount felt more and more that the Max family had not yet reached the point of exhaustion, and that there might really be hope of survival if they persisted. It's all because of this seven-year-old child, the great rebellion seems to be a pair of natural friends with him, and they will never leave him, but this kind of rebellion that can be called uneasy for the gods is too reassuring, like the only leaf in the forest that is different, and people can see at a glance that the extravagant thing of 'hope' may not be born in the lines of that leaf, but 'despair' must be with those who wander away.

The old viscount silently recited these strange words in his heart, but solemnly walked in front of Li Laifu, just as the lion king walked towards his only child.

"Little Emery, tell me, are you ready, leave these ugly moths, forget the ridiculous and ignorant aristocrats, Tustin will always be your memory. Because the sky you will face next is very vast, there, there are the royal heirs of the four empires, the coats of arms on their armor are as hot as the sun, and the descendants of those ancient families, whether in the field of magic or in the stimulation of **, they have unique talents and terrifying means. Or maybe you're going to face other beings who aren't human, maybe they're more cunning than humans, and of course, if you're sincere, you might get their friendship, pure friendship, because they're not human, after all. Also, what else, well, little Emery, my words can't express the vastness of the outside world, all in all, your opponent will never nest in this broken place as Tustin, your future should be a deep ocean. ”

The long and solemn announcement ended, and the armor on Viscount Goulette bloomed with a holy aura, in addition to the golden twin sword crests, there was also the protection of the sixth-order fire magic sun shield attached by a certain big man in the magic union, because this old man understood that when Li Laifu nodded and left, it was the moment when he picked up the long sword to defend blood and glory.

But it is obvious that the tragic atmosphere he created was ruthlessly broken by Li Laifu.

Li Laifu shook his head, indicating that he was not ready to face the young opponents in the old viscount's mouth who were as strong as high-level demonic beasts.

Those characters are simply monsters who grew up with the eyes of the god of light, Li Laifu smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at the speechless old viscount Goulett, and he slowly spoke: "Wait for Troy to deal with those ugly bloodsucking insects lurking in the mansion, and I can leave with confidence." ”

Some of the lost Gurlett breathed a sigh of relief.
