Marshall Harry's Harry's Knight's Territory is located 300 miles west of Bennett's Knight's Territory. There is a Lord's fief between Harry's Knight's Territory and Bennett's Knight's Territory. If it were not for the purpose of bypassing the Lord's fiefdom, the two knights would It's not even a six-hour journey between the two places.
Although Knight Bennett is a knight of the fief, he is already considered a noble, but for nobles with real titles, knights are only quasi-nobles. In addition, Knight Bennett is not good at interacting with other nobles, so he has no relationship with the surrounding people. The nobles kept only a polite distance from each other, and he would rather take the long way around than ask a lord to let his armed convoy pass through his fief.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy arrived at the Knights of Harry. From a distance, they saw two red tapestries as high as the city walls hanging on the left and right sides of the castle wall. On them, a white unicorn's front hooves lifted off the ground. Make a roar, that's Marshall Harry's coat of arms.
Abel saw that the expression on Knight Bennett's face was not good, and he seemed to be stimulated by the huge heraldic tapestry in front of him. As far as Abel knew, the heraldic tapestry on the wall of Bennett Castle was only three meters high and two meters wide. That tapestry was also made by the previous lord. After more than half of it was made by the previous lord, Knight Bennett gritted his teeth and took it out. A large sum of gold coins was made, which was also Bennett's pride. He always said that this was the wealth left for future generations.
"This guy must have done it on purpose. I told him about the heraldic tapestry." Knight Bennett gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.
Abel looked at Knight Bennett's expression, quietly slowed down his horse, and stayed away from Knight Bennett, who was already in danger.
At the gate of Harry's Castle, a knight about forty years old in golden armor stood in the middle, flanked by two rows of guards in leather armor holding long swords. The left chest of the knight's golden armor is engraved with the pattern of the sun god, and the right chest is the shield-shaped coat of arms of a white unicorn on a red background. Coupled with the knight's tall figure, and the mature temperament accumulated due to age on his face, he looks chic and suave. .
"Marshall."
With a loud shout, Knight Bennett jumped down from his horse, with fighting spirit all over his body, like a devouring tiger, he strode towards Knight Marshall. Every step he took, his footsteps and the ground made a loud noise. ring.
"Sisi."
Knight Marshall also shouted loudly, his original coolness and suaveness disappeared, his blond hair floated in the air with fighting spirit, and he rushed towards Knight Bennett like a lion.
Everyone on both sides was stunned. Didn't they hear that the two knights were best friends? Why is it that the moment we meet, we start a war
Knight Bennett and Knight Marshall walked closer and closer, and they did not stop even when they were close enough to attack each other with punches. The two jumped up on the spot and collided fiercely in the air. They did not use fists or feet, just His chest hit the air, and the loud sound sounded to Abel like two cars at full speed colliding.
The two people who landed from the air each took about ten steps back. Knight Bennett, who had just tried to regain his footing, cursed: "Why didn't you say in your letter that you were already an intermediate knight?"
On the other side, Knight Marshall looked at his golden armor with distress, and while touching it, he cursed back: "You guys didn't even say that you were also an intermediate knight."
Knight Bennett looked at the dents in his armor and calculated in his mind how many gold coins he would need to repair it. The number he got made him shout: "You are cheating on me. If I am not an intermediate knight, now I will Already lying on the ground."
"Each other, each other."
Knight Bennett and Knight Marshall stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Just when everyone around them thought that the two were about to fight again, the two laughed and hugged each other at the same time, patting each other's armor. The sound was like blacksmithing.
The aristocratic etiquette of Knight Bennett and the chic demeanor of Knight Marshall have all gone to hell now. All that remains is the excitement and wanton hugs of brothers meeting each other.
Abel looked at the old friends who were as close as brothers with envy. For a person like him who had secrets, it was too difficult to find such heart-to-heart friends.
The adoption ceremony was very formal. Under the auspices of the priest of the Temple of the Harvest Goddess invited from Harvest City, Knight Bennett handed Abel into the hands of Knight Marshall, who personally handed over a dress with a white unicorn emblem. Clothed upon Abel, the adoption ceremony was completed with the impartiality of the priest.
After the ceremony, Harry's Castle held a dance to celebrate that the castle finally had an heir and that Harry's Castle would be passed down.
For a lord in the principality who has no heirs and no adopted son who has established the right of inheritance, if the lord dies, the fiefdom will be taken back to the state, and these people who rely on the territory to live will lose their livelihood, so there is a new heir. , is a very important thing for a territory without heirs.
Knight Bennett did not attend the ball, but led the convoy back to his castle after the ceremony. It was impossible for Knight Bennett to attend such a dance to celebrate the adoption of his son, so Knight Marshall Not much to hold back.
Knight Marshall took Abel to the two-story annex building on the left side of the castle, gently opened the door of the annex building, pulled Abel in very friendly, and introduced enthusiastically: "Abel, this will be the place from now on. Your room, I hope you feel at home here."
The first floor is very large. The ground is made of hard stone. There is a bar table for guests and a few high-backed chairs on one side. The rest of the place is empty. There is a weapons rack placed against the wall. There are swords, shields, bows, spears, and even a giant ax used by orcs on the shelf.
This is a living room rather than a small practice room. It also meets the living requirements of a trainee knight. A trainee knight spends a lot of time practicing. The layout here greatly facilitates Abel's training. This It shows that Knight Marshall put a lot of thought into decorating the hall.
The second floor is the bedroom. As soon as you go up to the second floor, you will see a large feather bed that makes you want to lie down on it. The white sheets make you reluctant to touch it. The glazed white oak walls and the same white wool carpet on the floor make the room look elegant and holy, and the scenery outside the castle can be seen through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows.
It can be seen that due to the white unicorn on the coat of arms, the Marshall Knight likes white very much. Everything on the second floor is white, even the largest wardrobe is made of white oak.
"I've got your clothes ready." Knight Marshall opened the closet, which was filled with all kinds of clothes. Then he said: "The welcome dance will take some time. You should take a shower and rest first. There will be a meeting later." The maid comes to remind you and help you change into your ball gown."
Knight Marshall gestured to Abel with a sunny smile, which made Abel feel warm in his heart. Before turning back downstairs, he asked: "Is there anything else you need? You're welcome, this is yours from now on." Home."
"No, you have made enough arrangements." Abel was a little overwhelmed by Knight Marshall's easy-going approach and concern for Abel, but he knew that everything Knight Marshall did was to allow himself to accept this family.
After Knight Marshall left, Abel stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom on the second floor and looked at the night scene outside. The lights in the distance were moving. Those were the carriages of guests who were coming to the dance. This place was very close to the big city of Harvest City. The scale of Harvest City is far from comparable to the small town of Fort Lee.
This will be my future home. When I came to this world, my parents and eldest brother, who had just recognized their new identities, came to a new family and accepted a new life. They shook their heads and sighed, with mature minds. Abel is not what he seems. He is thinking about his future growth. He will be able to help his parents when he becomes stronger.
A sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and then the bedroom door was opened. A round-faced maid about 20 years old walked in quietly and asked Abel respectfully: "Your bath water has been put away." Okay, are you ready now?"
Under the leadership of the maid, Abel came to the master's bathroom in the castle. The all-wooden bathroom exuded the unique fragrance of wood. The hot water in the marble bathtub was filled with white steam. Some dried flower petals were placed to give the pool water a more floral fragrance.
When Abel walked into the bathroom, the maid was about to follow him in, but was stopped by him. As a person with modern education, he was not used to having a maid help him bathe.
After taking a bath, I put on the underwear prepared in the bathroom, and with the help of the maid, I put on the prepared dress.
