Jean. Roque walked out of the house with a large number of small chains joined together by a large number of small iron rings, and walked through the noisy courtyard of chickens and ducks, the heavy chain mail (note) carefully placed in a wooden barrel, and another bucket containing fine sand beside it. Looking at the work that was about to consume a morning, the senior knight boy who had not yet grown fluff on his lips regurgitated a sigh of life from his stomach pouch.

Almost all knights have the experience of squire life, and a difficult childhood is a hallmark part of knightly life.

The veteran calls for the new soldiers, and the knights toss the squires. The melody of military life is never lacking in such timbre. When the recruits become veterans and the squires salute and become knights, the cycle begins again.

In a few months, Locke will be baptized. The Boy Boy title will be changed to Attendant. It's a good thing to be uplifted, but changing your name doesn't mean that your life will take a turn. After a brief period of ups and downs, the pace of life returns to the way it used to be—serving the knights of Pierre, maintaining equipment, and learning the art of knighthood......

The monotonous and boring daily life will accompany Locke until he is twenty-one years old, going through all the difficulties of knighthood and receiving a formal baptism, Locke will be awarded the glorious title of knight, becoming a knight who defends the faith of the mother goddess, protects the evangelism of the church, and guards the king's rule, which is a dazzling dream step for a boy who aspires to embark on the path of knighthood.

"Polishing your armor and sharpening your sword. Someday you will pick up a life because of your meticulous work. ”

Imitating the expression of the Pierre knight who lacks humor, and reciting the old knight's serious admonitions. Locke smiled bitterly at himself, picked up the barrel and poured the fine sand into the bucket containing the chain mail, the wooden stick wrapped in cloth at the top carefully washing the armor that guarded the knight's life.

The old-fashioned and stubborn Knight Pierre is a friend of Locke's deceased father, and these two men who are really hard to find other virtues besides integrity are the kind of people who shout the name of the mother goddess and rely on [perseverance, perseverance, and stupidity] to face strong enemies, suffering, and trials. With such an admirable and extremely troublesome elder, Luke's living situation can be imagined.

The two elders, who were not keen on the flattery of the camp, could hardly win the earl's affection, except for the meager salary from the Treasury and the rent that fluctuated with the years, which was only enough to make ends meet. Because of this, despite his reputation as a knight, Klok often went to the fields to do farm work to support his family.

[Honest people always suffer. 】

Thinking of the knights who were attached to the earl and lived several times better than them, the boy sighed in his heart. The superior knights who occupied the rich fiefs and collected ninety-one taxes, land rents and tributes from the serfs, or set up cards at intersections and rivers to collect money, had a steady income and had plenty of money. The lower-ranking knights always lived a tight and poor life, and the knights of Pierre, who did not exploit their subjects, would reduce their rents and provide some relief after natural disasters such as droughts and floods. However, the glorious path of chivalry must always be filled in the stomach before there is still the strength to abide by it, poverty and hardship is a state, and it is debatable whether it is in line with virtue and chivalric code.

My mind was filled with sighs that were enough to make happiness slip through my fingers, but the work of cleaning the chain mail was not slackened. No matter how much he complains and is dissatisfied, Locke still knows the importance of work and the right attitude.

A few days earlier, when the peasants had begun to hull the wheat, the Count of Agen Toraton had issued a summoning order to the knights of the realm.

[Evil pagan races have appeared on the road to Lapland, and pointy ears from the mountains have attacked passing merchants, in order to maintain the safety of the people of the Agen Toraton region and the belief in the holy mother goddess, a crusade will be organized to exterminate the evil pagan races. 】...,

A real battle!!

The boys' minds were filled with old legends of knights and magicians, and for the boys who were eager to add a little excitement to their boring lives, the proclamation hit the bull's-eye and captured their excitement accurately.

The knights and magicians who have passed the age of innocence and romance are equally passionate, but they go for military medals and bounties.

It's just a few lost dogs that don't use magic, and there are a limited number of them, and there are many old and weak women and children mixed in. In order to get some food and clothing for the winter, they went to the border of Agen Toratong to commit crimes, and they were counted as having poured blood mold.

Locke's enthusiasm didn't last long, and the news that [the knights directly under the earl will form the main force of the crusade team] made his agitated and inextricable mood quickly cool down.

The 13-year-old boy knew and experienced enough knowledge of life for him to understand what kind of filth was surging beneath the shiny surface, whether it was a teenager or an old man, or the pressure of survival, the brief gossip allowed Locke to figure out the reality in a very short time - the crusade mission had nothing to do with them.

Wandering around with ease, slaying down a few insignificant pagan bandits, and gaining money and fame - such an easy thing that the Count would never mistake in the order of the right men. The direct personnel are in the first order, and the credible vassals are in the second order, and if they don't see it in the same way, the less pleasing the earl, the faster they can count from the back of the list, or simply kick out of the list. If the situation is tricky, the list is arranged in a completely inverted form.

There is no reason to appeal, that's the rule. Unfairness doesn't go away just because someone complains. Complaining around won't solve anything, but will lead to troubles that are difficult to deal with.

The knight's boy Jean Locke-Mana drove the son of a low-ranking knight to understand the heavy rules beneath the table after experiencing life firsthand.

"At least I don't have to burrow into a ravine in the armor of a heavy dead, or pant after a heretic's ass. You can eat fresh bread, drink hot soup, and have a bed to lie down in at night. ”

The lonely wry smile turned into an open-minded expression, and Locke, who was accustomed to dealing with bad situations with optimism, cheered up, took out the pestle-washed chain mail from the barrel and hung it on the wooden frame, and the bristle brush carefully removed the sand from the surface of the metal ring.

[A good knight starts with serious maintenance of his equipment. 】

Rummaging through the experience of the armor and the knight of Pierre, the boy left behind his troubles and threw himself into his work.

The dry grinding sound of the carriage turning and the crash of the armor as he walked tickled Locke's ears, and the shaking brush stopped.

After the proclamation of the crusade against the infidels was issued, there were far fewer traveling merchants passing through the avenue in front of the door, and in recent days the merchants who traveled between this area and the northern mountains were completely extinct.

The high-spirited knights and soldiers of the brigade marched along the avenue to the valley and jungle in pursuit of the sharp-eared bandits and their own exploits, the enthusiastic villagers offered beer to reward the soldiers of the expedition, the priests prayed for blessings for the marching procession, and the lively and generous girls waved handkerchiefs to send the sturdy young men on their journey.

-- The light-hearted and lively scene when the raiders set out is still firmly remembered by Locke. Not a single detail is missing. Now it's time for the Raiders to return, and everyone will surely praise and welcome the heroes who have returned victoriously with even greater enthusiasm.

Envy: a little;

Jealousy: There is also a little bit;

Hate:...... There shouldn't be;

Even if the lucky side of the coin is not facing you at the moment, the opportunity will always appear in front of the patient and will not be missed again.

Optimism propelled Locke to the gate, where the wall of the hedge, which was taller than his head, was covered with bushy plants that had changed color after entering late autumn, causing Locke to complain about his height. If you are as tall as the Pierre Knight, you may already be able to see the excitement without going to the door. ...,

The boy walked a few steps and opened the door, and the scene outside was in full view.

In the course of 13 years of life, I have encountered many "surprises" and "accidents", among which there are good things and bad things. Locke always copes with a happy smile, and all the dark clouds seem to be blown away by this sincere smile.

Small theatre time

Brunhill: It's a knight with chain mail, Lord Li Lin.

Li Lin: Although it is old-fashioned equipment, it is also a very expensive piece of armor.

Brunhill: Can you elaborate on chain mail?

Li Lin: Chain mail, also known as chain mail (chainmail), sometimes referred to simply as "chain mail", is a kind of armor that appeared in the age of iron and cold weapons, and is a major innovation since the advent of leather armor.

At the time of the Crusades, the knights wore almost all of them in chain mail. Its weight is about 13 kg.

Use small iron rings to form a long garment with a hood, which is covered with close-fitting clothing. All the weight is borne by the shoulders, which can effectively protect against the attacks of sharp weapons such as swords, guns and spears, and the main role is also the defense of bows and crossbows, but strong bows and crossbows such as Welsh longbows and Chinese repeaters can still penetrate through chain mail. The biggest disadvantage is that it is soft, and it is difficult to resist when the sharp sword stabs at it, and if it is smashed down by heavy weapons such as meteor hammers and maces, the chain mail will be ineffective. Making zuò is quite complicated and cumbersome, and the cost is high. Generally speaking, the finer the iron ring, the better the protection performance, and each iron ring must be welded and connected, and the workload can be imagined.

Brunhill: It's old now, and rich knights have plates and cuirasses.
