Chapter 917 Aristocrats
divlign="ener">
Only then did everyone slow down slightly, a few arcane soldiers and low-level soldiers hurriedly took out their usual treasured spells and shouted and shot out colorful spells, and the other soldiers also fired their crossbows indiscriminately
Just when everyone's souls were scattered, they suddenly heard a high-pitched and exciting loud eagle roar overhead, like a sharp sword stabbing down - a vigorous griffin in mid-air with a golden armor on his back, a shining and majestic battle priest rushed down, and on the scepter in his hand that was clear and bright yellow like the rising sun, "Boom~~" burst out a series of fierce and dazzling 'Yang Yan Rays', like golden arrows out of the string and shooting down
The blazing golden light of the huge monster hit the huge monster and emitted white smoke, but it didn't hurt the other party to see the molten red horns on the monster's head, and the middle-aged battle priest suddenly understood: It's a fireborn monster, so use the spell in the field of power instead
Immediately pulled out another magic wand with a full aura, whirring ~~ a few times as if he didn't need money, he sent out a fierce 'grappling palm' about one story high, and slashed his head and face to cover the tongue horn flame troll. Or cover the face and eyes, or buckle on the lips, or hold the legs and claws or pull the mane, such a sigh of interference, suddenly pull the troll in place and 'grab the palm', so that the enemy runs away in a smoke, and when it destroys these damn 'grappling palms', there is no trace of the enemy. He was about to breathe fire into the sky and burn the damn griffin birdman, but when he saw the other party's long laugh, he flew away with his wings - no matter how huge the bulldozer was, it couldn't push the air target. Except for watching, all that was left was the thunderous howl of the monster.
"I'm going out for a few days. The countess looked a little tired and said to the viscountess and Dong Hezi and the others: "If you want to go out to find a merchant to collect the bills, you need to go to another earldom." A round trip can take up to two weeks, and ten days is enough if it's fast. So I'm going to ask you to wait a few more days. I'll give you the money as soon as I get it. ”
The Viscountess, who needed money, had no choice but to nod her head and agree, and when the Countess had left in the old but beautifully carved old carriage, Dong Hezi, who was feeding the sheep, suddenly said: "I also have to go out for a few days, and it may take two weeks to go back and forth, and ten days will be enough if it is fast." So I'm going to ask you to wait a few more days. I'll come back when I'm done. Grimm next to him immediately laughed and said, "You're following that countess, right?
Dong Hezi really replied: "I do have a crush on her - she, on the surface, is a half-hung ranger, but in fact she is still a beast tamer and a very strange beast tamer. "The Beast Tamer is a very special advanced class that can master multiple beasts and engage in mystical psychic communication with fellow beasts within a mile, such as arm-and-hand. In addition, it can also give the beast companions a certain amount of power-up. Of course, this ability is not too strong, at least compared to the ability enhancement of the mage pet, it is not outstanding. Basically, no one cares except for a few rangers who can't get up to the grade and people who are interested in the circus. Of course, Grimm and the others had heard of it.
So he asked even more curiously: "Why is it strange, do you have some special abilities?" Dong Hezi on the other side nodded and said: "Yes, her spirit is somewhat different from ordinary forest rangers, and she is too powerful compared to the beast tamer~~." So much so that it is not worthy of the body, and it is somewhat damaging to her. ”
The viscountess next to her was a little nervous: "You~~ How do you know?" She didn't know what her friend was or the 'beast tamer' for so many years. Dong Hezi, who was on the other side, continued to feed the wild sheep, and replied with a light smile: "It's these sheep who sued me." Don't spread it out. After calming the Viscountess's heart, Dong Hezi jumped together, and an indigo cloud rose under his feet, and he jumped away leisurely like a fish swimming in the sea.
"You've been gone for decades, why are you back now?" the gray-haired old baron stood on the third floor of the tavern, looking at the straight streets, the neat and tall red brick buildings, the tinkling of the fiery blacksmith shops, and the bustling crowds of people who came and went, "Maybe we were really wrong in the past? You can buy everything delicious and fun. When you and I were here, it was just a small town in the middle of nowhere, and I remember that there were only two taverns, and there were only three women. Hehehehe~~" Reminiscing about the good old days makes him happy and makes him sad: "You still complain to me." Now~~ there are good-looking girls everywhere. You certainly won't complain anymore. Maybe the king was right, we gave up some things, but we got something else, didn't we?alas~~~~ Remember our old friend with high ambitions?He is now ~~ a high-ranking battle priest, in charge of the heavy cases of several of our counties, riding his griffon across the sky every day, patrolling everywhere. No one dares to stop you anywhere. Heh~~ That's really majestic. He was the only one of us who made the right choice. Alas~~" He turned back with a melancholy look on his face, his expression as withered as an ancient and decayed castle: "Why did you come back? ”
"I, I don't need it anymore" On the opposite side, the same white-haired warrior wearing thick inlaid leather armor also looked at this neat town that was becoming more and more spacious and prosperous, and more and more luxurious: "You are right, twenty years ago, there were only five buildings here, and they were all earthen buildings or even thatched houses as far as the eye could see, and the city wall in the distance was also composed of solid wood and rammed earth, which was just a relatively large and concentrated village. And now, it really looks like a vibrant town. We have given up our privileges, our own checkpoints, taxes, and even our territories and relatives. But in exchange for unimpeded trade routes, uniform taxation, and more and more people can break away from the shackles of territory, leave their hometowns, and beg for a living. I had a better life than before. Perhaps, the king was really right. ”
The white-haired old baron smiled bitterly, his eyes full of sourness and unwillingness: "Then what are you doing when you come back? He doesn't need anyone to surrender anymore. If we could admit our mistakes with the last group of nobles eighteen years ago, we might ~~ not regret today. Alas~~"
"I've never regretted it. The warrior on the opposite side, whose white hair was like cold snow and his eyes were like a steel sword, replied solemnly: "It's been fifteen years, and I've always wanted to come back to see it, but the country is heavily guarded, so I can't come back lightly." Now that the king had gone to conquer the wild forest again, he had transferred the main forces of the country and the main government affairs were also focused on the expedition, and the vigilance was all relaxed. That's why I'm coming back. I've already gone to my parents' cemetery to take a look, but fortunately, no one knows that they are the parents of aristocratic wanted criminals, and they are all the same as when I left, except for those few small trees~~ which have grown very big. Are you ~~ okay at home, don't skip words.
"That's it. The gray-haired old baron looked helplessly at the ever-changing street and the blurred distance: "It's a pity that my eldest son is not successful." I can't learn martial arts well, and I can't settle down to learn magic. also said that he wanted to be a person above 10,000 people, hum, but now he is running alone to the provincial capital to spend all day drinking. It's scrapped~~It's really scrapped~~ I was going to train him to be a lord before. As a result~~ I can only guard those manors and mess around. Maybe~~ He's unwilling. After all, he had seen the power of our aristocracy twenty years ago. Alas~~ He can't forget the past, this is the source of his pain I also thought about it, but it really can't be done, so I will give the family property to the second son. There is no need for nobility anymore, no need for responsibility, glory and loyalty. All you need is a person who can keep the family business, and it would be better if you had a sweet eye and a sweet mouth, and you would see a stitch and make a big business and make money. ”
The warrior with a cold snow asked straightly, "It turns out that you have already given up." After the massacre, you said you were going to lurk and wait for the day to turn over. Alas~~The world is like chess~~" The white-haired old baron opposite smiled faintly without affirmation or denial: "Do you know what I've been thinking about for so many years, don't skip words." Seeing that the other party shook his head, he didn't buy Guan Zi anymore, and smiled faintly slightly: "I've been thinking: what is a nobleman." Have you thought about it?"
A rare smile appeared on the other party's face, just like twenty years ago, when they were young and indulgent: "Don't ask me such a complicated question. I never think about nerve-wracking things~~Hahahaha~~ You name it. What the hell did you come up with?"
The gray-haired, old-fashioned old baron slowly smiled and looked into the confused distance: "I figured it out a little: do nobles have to have territories? Territories must be fields? Nobles must have castles? Castles must be stone defenses? No, maybe nobles are not like this. Territories, manor fields. Stone castle. Maybe ~~ is just a formality, and the meaning of nobility is not just in these things. Perhaps~~ the aristocracy is a person with a strong appeal in a certain cause. I mean~~ Look at the blacksmith shop opposite, I'm wondering, are people with strong appeal and social status among blacksmiths also considered nobles?
The answer to him was the other party's cold and indifferent sentence: "You are so boring, the nobles have not disappeared." It's just that it used to be based on blood, and it was passed down to us. And now it has been handed down to the treacherous and vicious people, and our fields, estates, and castles have been taken away by the king, and then divided among the bureaucrats, who are the new aristocracy, a more greedy, more hypocritical, more self-righteous than we are."
