Chapter 8: Amazing decision

Views:

Probably because he used to be a fitness instructor, Abel mastered the various combat moves of the knight very quickly and was already able to do it standard and quickly. The only thing missing now is his proficiency and his own strength.

The use of bows and arrows inherited from the family, riding and spear charging, sword and shield skills, large shield skills, etc., have been mastered after half a year of endless training. This made the eldest brother Zach complain about the injustice of the gods. , but it took him several years to master these skills, and his father, Knight Bennett, always had a thoughtful look that made Abel vaguely feel that something was about to happen.

In the past six months, Abel has not used the master-level 'qi-condensing potion'. Since he learned the importance of knight inheritance from his father, he decided to learn the family knight inheritance first, and then find an opportunity to take the master-level 'qi-condensing potion'. Medicine', I didn't expect that it had only been half a year without using any medicine, and Abel was already a level 2 trainee knight.

During dinner, Abel noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere as soon as he sat down. His mother Nora's eyes were a little red and swollen, while his father Knight Bennett's expression looked very determined. Before he was about to eat, Knight Knight stood up and said to Abel. Said: "My son Abel, you are the most potential child I have ever seen. God has given you all wisdom and bravery, but the Bennett family is unable to train you. This is the loss of the Bennett family. It is also a blasphemy against the gods.”

Knight Bennett glanced at his wife, then at his two sons, and said in a low voice: "I have made an agreement with my good friend Marshall Harry Knight. In the next few years, , Abel will learn from Knight Marshall, and if he is satisfied, his unicorn crest will be inherited by you."

Marshall Knight Abel knew him. He was Knight Bennett's best brother, best comrade-in-arms, and best sibling. The two of them participated in the war with the orcs, went through life and death together, and returned to their hometown together.

Unlike Knight Bennett, Knight Marshall had no children. His wife lost her life in an accident. Knight Marshall never married a wife again and stayed in the castle where his wife was buried. There has never been an heir.

This is a painful choice for Knight Bennett, not only because Abel Bennett will be renamed Abel Harry, but his son will truly leave his family and will represent another family. Put another family's coat of arms on clothing, on armor, on a flag.

The arrangement of the genius second son Abel has always been a headache for Knight Bennett. He has thought of many ways, including asking Case, the businessman father of his wife Nora, whom he has not contacted for a long time. However, considering that Case has no conditions, Being able to train a knight, money alone cannot train a knight, and with Case being far away in the Principality of Koror, this idea is over.

The full name of Knight Bennett is Ceci Bennett. The reason why everyone calls him Bennett is that this is the only branch of the Bennett family living here on this plain. As early as two hundred years ago, Knight Bennett His ancestors received the title of Lord due to their military exploits and received a piece of land, which is the current Bennett Knights Territory, which was called Bennett Lord Territory at that time.

The main direct line of the Bennett family lives in Bagan City, the capital of the Kamai Principality. If Abel is sent there, although Abel may become a knight there, he will also become a direct line of the Bennett family. The guardian of his children, Knight Bennett is not willing for his second son to sacrifice his freedom or even his life for others.

And Knight Bennett did not want to be laughed at for losing his title. He had already decided that only when the Knights of Bennett were upgraded to the Lords of Bennett would he go to Bagang City to visit the main lineage of his direct line. Knight Nate's pride is a pride that cannot be trampled upon by others.

Knight Marshall Harry is different from Knight Bennett. The Harry family is a famous big family in the capital of Bagang. Knight Marshall Harry achieved military exploits in the war and got a knightly fief with the help of his family. Because of his relationship with Bennett. Due to the relationship with Knight Knight, this fiefdom was chosen as a knight's fiefdom 300 miles away from Knight Knight Territory of Bennett, which is now Harry Knight Territory. Everything there is new, even the castle is a new castle.

The inheritance of the Harry Knight family is very excellent. There have been high-level knights. The inheritance philosophy of the Harry family is different from that of the Bennett family, but the Bennett knight never denies the excellence of the other party's inheritance.

Knight Marshall Harry had told him many times that he wanted to adopt an adopted son to become his heir, but the conditions for such an adopted son were not easy to find. Children who were not nobles did not need to be considered, but children of nobles all had their own missions, such as A nobleman has three sons, and the eldest son has the right to inherit. But in this world, maybe a duel, maybe a conflict, maybe just a disease, may kill the eldest son, and then the second son will get the right to inherit. This is also In the way of aristocratic inheritance, no one would object to having too many children. It was just a matter of spending different gold coins on education.

Abel is a genius. Knight Bennett can be sure of this. He has sufficient experience and experience. He knows how outstanding his second son is. In order not to delay Abel's growth, he made this decision. A painful decision, the Bennett family will lose a knight who may be very powerful in the future, and the reason is just because of gold coins.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very dull. The eldest brother Zach dropped the beef from the fork to the dinner plate several times. Normally, Knight Bennett would severely reprimand his eldest son for his disrespectful behavior, but today Knight Knight kept sitting expressionless. There, eating her food slowly, mother Nora ate very little and spent most of the time in tears.

After dinner, the servants came forward to clear the table, and Knight Bennett called his second son Abel alone to his study.

The study is a place where important letters and vouchers are stored in the family. It is usually forbidden for others to enter. This is the first time Abel has entered here. The study is very large. On the white wall facing the door are hung the portraits of past castle owners. The other walls are all made up of bookcases, with rows of large or small, red or black books neatly stacked in them.

In the middle of the study is a huge desk made of a whole piece of wood. Due to years of use, the mirror paste formed by natural friction on it makes the study reveal the depth of history. This is the core of the knighthood, and all orders are there. Issued here.

Knight Bennett picked up a large oak box from the table. The box was surrounded by deerskin. There was a handle made of red copper on the top of the arched lid. One side of the lid was made of deerskin. Made of zippers.

Opening the zipper, Knight Bennett opened the oak box, with a set of equipment neatly placed inside.

He took out a piece of leather armor. It was a half-length leather armor with small square pieces of polished iron inlaid on the chest and back. From the shoulders to the elbows, it was made of several folded pieces of white iron. Shoulder pads, this is an iron-inlaid leather armor, a kind of armor between iron armor and leather armor. It is much cheaper than iron armor and even cheaper than chain mail with similar protection, and because of the iron-inlaid protection Stronger than ordinary cotton armor and leather armor, this kind of iron-inlaid leather armor has also become an option for knights with financial constraints.

"This set of leather armor was made by the armor master in the army as a trophy when I killed a flaming bull in the war with the orcs." He then took out the lower part of the leather armor from the oak box. Half suit, a pair of leather pants with knee pads made of tinplate at the knees.

"Here is a light sword. Here are calfskin boots. Here are gloves. I have nothing too precious to give you, my son."

Abel looked at the set of equipment in the box, and his eyes couldn't help but sparkle. He knew this set of equipment. It was his father's spare equipment. A knight could not only have one set of equipment. Iron armor would sometimes be hit in battle. Bad, during the period when it is sent for repair, the spare equipment is the guarantee of the knight's life safety.

Without hesitation or refusal, Abel took the oak box handed over by his father. The box was very heavy. This was the most precious gift a father could give to his child.

When I returned to the room carrying the oak box, my mother was already waiting in the room. My mother’s gifts were very simple. They were all clothes, underwear, outerwear, knight training clothes, dresses, and even handkerchiefs. I had prepared several pairs. This time, my mother didn’t have any. Crying, I just held Abel’s hand and slowly talked to him about how to interact with people outside. I talked a lot. It was very quiet at night. The oil lamps were on in the study room in the castle, Zach’s room, and Abel’s room. All night.
