Chapter 12 [Legendary Family]

The convoy traveled for a day. Obviously, this new female knight has attracted the attention of her colleagues. Of course, this is not just because this is the only female xìng among the people who walk with the sky, but because of the relationship between this female knight and the little master.

Last night, she walked out of the little master's room. And overnight, she sent herself to the door to swear allegiance.

And this kind of attention, in fact, contains a layer of ...... A little bit of jealousy.

That's right, jealousy.

Because, this woman actually won the title of real "knight"!

It must be pointed out that the so-called "guardian knights" of the family are not actually considered real knights. The Guardian Knight of the Family is actually just a title, a title with the name "Knight". It's like a seahorse has a horse in its name, but no one really thinks that a seahorse and a horse are the same thing.

In the sense, they can only be regarded as a group of "cavalry". It's a bunch of cavalry guards. Not really a knightly class. A woman who had only known each other for a day, a woman with third-rate martial arts, suddenly got what these men coveted, which had to make them jealous.

It is unlucky enough to be sent to the poor countryside with this little master of the nest. Their only pursuit was to hope that one day the master would suddenly favor them and recruit them from the escort cavalry to an honorary knight - and that was the only way to pursue it.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for this little master to inherit the earl's title. He would be a baron at best, and the baron was only given the authority by law to recruit ten knights...... It's only been one day, and a precious place has been taken up by a woman of unknown origin!

The most plausible explanation is that this thirteen-year-old master probably doesn't know what a "knight" is. He simply treated this precious thing as a child's game and gave it to others at will!

And, more importantly...... Who told that chick to be beautiful and have a pair of plump and beautiful thighs?

Accept your fate!

Ruolin could already feel the disapproving looks of these new colleagues around her. It seems that even her own two original companions are a little incomprehensible. But Ruolin still decided to believe in her own vision!

This new master, this young master named Du Wei, will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future! Choosing to be loyal to him should not be a wrong decision!

When the sunset filled the sky again, Du Wei's convoy had just crossed a large river, and the bridge made of round boulders was nearly a hundred years old, and the stones near the river were covered with turquoise moss, and the clear and rushing water of the river reflected a beautiful emerald sè.

And the name of this big river is called "Emerald River", of course, it also has a more official name:

Rollin River!

The river was named after the Rollin family.

The Rollin River crosses the southern province of Kot, splitting the rich province of Kot in the southern part of the empire. With this river as the boundary line, as long as you cross this river, you will already set foot on the family territory of the Luo Lin family! Half of the Kot Province south of the river belongs to the Luo Lin family!

On the south bank of the river, there is a flat plain, which is quite impressive in the southern part of the terrain that is mainly hilly. There is fertile land, verdant forests, farmsteads, a warm climate, plenty of sunshine, and moderate rain.

It was one of the richest lands in the Empire, and it was also an important location for the Empire's grain production. This plain, which is exactly half the size of the province of Kotte, also has an official name...... Rollin Plains!

Yes, this is also named after the Rollin family.

This peculiar way of naming began about 200 years ago.

Two hundred years ago, the Roland Empire experienced a great Great Patriotic War, according to historical records, when the alien invasion in the north of the continent went south, dragging the entire Roland Empire into the quagmire of war, and there were rebellions within the declining empire, and the empire was once on the verge of collapse.

During the war, a number of outstanding figures emerged, including a general of the Rollin family, who later became a marshal of the Empire (the only one in the more than 300-year history of the Rollin family). ）。 And it is also worth mentioning that the emperor married his sister to him in order to envelop this marshal with great achievements.

Just before an important decisive battle, His Majesty the Emperor, in order to encourage his brother-in-law to kill the enemy bravely, pointed to the south bank of the Emerald River with a horsewhip on the spot, and announced:

"If you return victorious, then in the future, this river is the boundary, and the land south of the province of Kot, I will give you all the land! And in the future, the river here, this plain, will be changed to the name of your family!

This encouragement inspired the marshal's courage, and he commanded the decisive battle, and finally won the war, saving the fortunes of the empire!

After that, the Emerald River was renamed the Lorraine River, and the southern plain was renamed the Lorraine Plain -- two hundred years later, and now people have forgotten what it used to be called!

Because, in all the official documents and local registers of the empire, it is clearly written "Luolin River" and "Luolin Plain".

Although two hundred years have passed, as a member of the Luo Lin family, even if it is just these low-level guard cavalry, when they cross the river and set foot on this plain land, they still can't help but feel excited!

It's a sense of belonging and honor to the family!

Behold, this is the place of the House of Lorraine! The place where the great ancestors of the House of Rollin carved their names! Here the great House of Rollin engraved their names in the history of the Empire!

Du Wei, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that the carriage was slowing down, and there was a strange movement outside. Duvira drove the window, and saw the knights in front of him couldn't help but take off their hats and cheer, their faces swept away the decadent appearance on the road in recent days, and everyone's faces exuded joy and glory from the heart......! Adore!

"Home, the Lorraine, home, our own land!"

The cavalrymen cheered, and some even forgot discipline and galloped back and forth. Letting the horses' hooves happily trample on the black dirt, even their commander did not restrain these excited subordinates at this moment, but sat on the horse and watched all this with a smile!

Unlike the other families of the Empire, the Rollin family maintains a very old tradition: the knights and samurai of the family only recruit people from the family domain!

Many of the cavalrymen who came back with Du Wei were born in the Lorraine Plain! They were the true sons of the Lorraine family, people who had lived here for generations!

According to the traditional practice, the private soldiers of the Rollin family's territory, as well as the family's escort cavalry, and even the family's personal soldiers, each guard, is to try to select "his own family" from the Rollin Plain! Because every family head believes that this practice can ensure the loyalty of his subordinates, as well as the centripetal force for the family! For example, the current head of the family's body, the Earl's chief of guard, the second young master Gabri's enlightenment martial arts teacher, and the alpha swordsman, is an authentic person born in the Rollin Plain.

Although these escort cavalrymen who accompanied Du Wei and were sent out of the dìdū, although they were unhappy because they were driven out of the empire, fortunately, at this moment, the joy of returning home finally diluted the depression in their hearts.

Du Wei sat in the carriage, looking at the cavalrymen who were shouting happily on horseback, he groaned slightly, immediately understood the reason, and then smiled: "Made, have we crossed the Rollin River?"

"Yes, my master. Made's horse immediately rode to the side of the car, and there was an equally joyful look on his face: "We're home." ”

Du Wei glanced at Made: "Oh, Made, tell me, are you also from the province of Kot?"

"Yes. Although I grew up in Dìdū, my father was a native of the Rollin family. Made's face also smiled: "My father has been a groom in the Rollin family all his life, and I inherited his work. ”

After a pause, Made's cautious glance at the little master, and said in a low voice: "My master, I need to remind you of something...... Hmmm......"

"What?"

"I'm afraid what you just said, what you said, is a little inappropriate. Made's face showed a rare seriousness!

"What's wrong?" Du Wei smiled, "Just point out my mistakes." ”

"You just asked me if I was born in the 'Kot Province'. That's a bit of a misnomer. While looking at his master's expression, Mader said cautiously: "Although the Lorraine Plain is within the territory of the Cotter Province, when a real Lorraine family mentions their origins, we will never say anything like 'I am from the Kort Provinces'! A true member of the Rollin family will be proud and proud of their identity as a Rollin from the bottom of their hearts......! When you face other people of the Rollin family in the future, please don't say anything like 'from the province of Kort', please be sure to call 'from the plains of Lorraine'! Otherwise, the other party is likely to feel hurt by your words. And...... You are still the eldest son of the patriarch of the family, and you must not hurt the feelings of the people of the family with your words. ”

Looking at this former groom, he could say such a thing with a proud face, even Du Wei had to feel a little surprised in his heart.

Maybe...... I really underestimated this family.

Looking at those cheerful cavalrymen, looking at the heartfelt pride on their faces...... Only a truly great family can do that.

Then, in this case, the Earl who was in Dìdū, when he saw that his eldest son, who had high hopes, was actually an idiot, the Earl who was responsible for the family, and a father who inherited the glory of the family, the disappointment and anxiety in his heart can be imagined.

Although I didn't think much of the father's cold reception of me in the past. But at this moment, Du Wei suddenly understood the earl's mood from the bottom of his heart!

As a father, he may be able to tolerate his son being a waste! But, as the head of the family, he must not tolerate the heir of the family who has high hopes to be a waste! Because he must take responsibility for the future of such a great family!

In this way, he decisively abandoned himself and was cold to himself, all of which was understandable.

In such a moment, Du Wei lost his mind.

Looking at the blank expression on the little master's face, Mader was a little surprised. Because since he became Du Wei's personal servant, what he has seen is: Since the age of six, this little master has always had an indifferent and calm expression on his face!

"This ...... My master, are we ready to go home?" asked Made, cautiously.

"Go home...... Oh, go home. Du Wei subconsciously responded, and then he suddenly, an unstoppable thought welled up in his mind!

Go home!

At this moment, Du Wei's heart, which has been a little dazed all these years, seems to have finally bloomed a glimmer of light!

Yes, go home!

For me, who does not belong to this world, what I lack most is a sense of belonging to this world! I have been indifferent in the past few years, I don't like to express my inner feelings, and even deliberately suppress some inner emotions...... In fact, the most fundamental reason is that I have not really regarded myself as a person in this world in my heart! Because in this way, many times, many things, for myself, look at the world as if I am looking at it from the perspective of a spectator and a bystander...... And such a mentality has caused indifference in the heart!

Go home...... What a beautiful word.

And what I lack now is not a formal sense of belonging to this world?

Originally, in the past few years, Du Wei, who had been in a faint mood about everything, suddenly felt a strange expectation in his heart for the ancestral business that was about to return to the Luo Lin family!

Look at the proud cavalrymen......

Well...... I wonder if I can find a sense of belonging in this land?

Let's hope so!

Since it is no longer possible to actually go home. So...... It is also appropriate to find a new home that you can put in your heart and let yourself have an inner belonging.

After all, since you have come to this world, life must go on.

With a hint of afterglow, Du Wei•Rollin pushed the door and stepped out of the carriage, out of the dark and closed carriage, out of the shadow of yīn, and stood in the beautiful sunset.

The glow shè shè on his face, as if to dispel all the yīn haze. The young man finally had a smile on his face...... Moreover, there was finally a trace of long-lost emotion in his expression.

This emotion is: anticipation!
