Kurudo and Carey are also familiar people.
In that college back then, the distance between them was not too far away, and they could meet each other at any time.
But at the beginning, Kurudo and Carey looked down on each other.
One thinks the other is a barbarian from the north, and the other thinks the other is only hypocritical, and the relationship between them is quite bad.
At that time, the only thing they had in common was their mutual friend, the King of Knights.
They are mutual friends with the King of Knights, so over time, their relationship with each other began to recover slowly.
On the one hand, the King of Knights makes up the relationship in the middle. On the other hand, as the age grows and the mind matures, they can see more things and understand each other better.
At this stage, although the two are still invisible on the surface, they are actually considered normal friends.
It's just that if there is nothing special, I won't make a special contact.
It wasn't until the King of Knights raised troops and established the Kingdom of Naduo that the two of them, as the best friends of the King of Knights, gradually developed a tacit understanding in the increasing cooperation, and thus became better friends.
And now, they are all old.
The grievances and grievances when they were young, now it seems that they are more of a good memory and a capital to laugh at each other.
What replaced the old grievances was an indestructible friendship.
They cherish their friendship with each other.
Because they knew that as the founders of the country, as nobles with high status, their friendship is quite rare.
There are many people who have established deep friendships when they were young, but in the end they still turned against each other, and finally became enemies instead.
This is quite common among nobles.
They were able to maintain their current friendship, and most of the credit should be attributed to the King of Knights.
After the Nador Kingdom was established, the King of Knights still treated them as before, thinking of them in many ways, and seemed not to change their status.
This is unlikely among normal kings.
You must know that one of them is the lord in charge of the northern border and holds a relatively strong part of the military power of the entire Naduo Kingdom, and the other is the court prime minister of the Naduo Kingdom for a long time, and he knows many situations in the Naduo Kingdom. .
Just this is already very terrifying, if the potential forces behind them, those forces that are attached to the existence of the two of them are counted, it will be terrifying.
To put it bluntly, under normal circumstances, once the two of them join forces, it will definitely change the entire Naduo Kingdom, which is enough to spark a vigorous rebellion.
Its intensity may not be inferior to the great rebellion in the Kutu Kingdom in the past.
If it was a normal king, even if he knew the intentions of the two of them, he might not be able to sleep well. He would definitely try his best to weaken them, and even use various means to make them turn against each other, so that he could rest assured.
After all, some things in this world don't change with your mind.
When the king looks at you, it does not depend on whether you have the rebellious mind, but only on whether you have the rebellious strength.
To put it bluntly, it is precisely because of the existence of the King of Knights that the friendship between them has not been affected.
Otherwise, even if the King of Knights doesn't say anything, Kaili and Kurudo will probably have to pretend to be at odds on the surface due to formality.
This is so reassuring.
However, none of the above happened.
After becoming the king, the King of Knights treated them as before, and often invited them to come to the banquet together.
The outside world often slanders the two of them, thinking that the existence of the two of them is a huge threat to the Naduo Kingdom itself.
Well, this one might not be slanderous.
But in any case, the King of Knights did not hurt their feelings because of outside remarks.
This in itself is a touching thing.
Seeing my friends again, both Kurudo and Carey were very excited.
Carey struggled to stand up and stepped forward to give Kurdeau and the King of Knights a warm hug.
Both Kurudo also responded enthusiastically.
"Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to stand up in two years."
Looking at Kaili's appearance of struggling to stand up, Kurudo laughed loudly: "You look like you did when you were young, like a sissy."
"I think you are just like the rude northern savage when you were young."
Carey responded unceremoniously.
This is how they greet each other.
But ridicule is nothing but ridicule, but considering Carey's body, the three of them still found a clean place, laid a gorgeous carpet on it, and sat down cross-legged there.
The surrounding people observed the situation of the three of them.
The three people in front of them were the core of the Naduo Kingdom in the past, and they were also called the Iron Triangle of Power.
They hold the highest power in the entire Naduo Kingdom, and they are also the most powerful people.
But now, the appearance of these three people who were once in their prime has changed.
Needless to say, Carey, the once handsome young aristocrat has already turned into a bad old man.
As a fighter, Kurudo still maintains a strong physique, and he looks very combative. Even though he is old, his physique is like a brown bear.
But even so, he is old after all.
As he got old, the functions of his whole body began to decline rapidly, and even his hair was now gray. Although he didn't look as exaggerated as Carey, he still looked like an old man.
After all, the years still left traces on him.
Especially as a knight, although Kurudo is much stronger than normal people, his life span may not be much longer than normal people because of the frequent use of life energy.
He might look fine now, but in a few years his body might break down and be a different person altogether.
Perhaps it was precisely because he didn't want to be like that, fighting for the first half of his life, but lying in a hospital bed for the second half of his life, so Kurdeau made up his mind to follow the King of Knights on this journey.
Among the three, only the King of Knights is still the same as before.
His appearance is still handsome, his body is tall and straight, even if he is just sitting cross-legged at this moment, he still has a very standard etiquette.
Compared with the two of them, the Cavalier King in his fifties still looks young and strong, and he doesn't seem to be much different from when he was young.
People from all over passed by the three of them, and many girls stared at the Knight King with veiled eyes, and their hearts were moved by the appearance of the Knight King.
I don't know how many girls in the entire Naduo Kingdom dream of becoming the queen of the Knight King, not only because it symbolizes power, but also because of the charm of the Knight King itself.
Even though he is old, the charm of the King of Knights is still so outstanding that countless people are secretly amazed and don't know what to say.
But right now, the three sat down cross-legged, and began to imagine the good old days.
“I really miss the past”
Carey raised his glass and said with a smile: "I still remember that I was young and in good health at that time, and I could easily spend a good night with four or five beautiful girls in one night."
"Unlike now, my body has broken down, and many good things have gone away from me."
"As far as your young body is concerned, I can still hit the ground with one hand now."
Kurudo laughed unceremoniously.
He does have a right to mock.
Because even though he is old, Kurudo's power is still not to be underestimated.
Generally speaking, because of his good education and some things left by his teacher back then, although he has not become a great knight now, his own strength is also not weak, and belongs to the highest level among knights.
The ordinary knight rarely has his opponents.
Even though he is old now, with this strong foundation, ordinary knights are also no match for him, and he will directly beat him to the ground.
"so what?"
Regarding Kurudo's words, Carey was just proud: "I am the former prime minister of the palace, and my former subordinates are everywhere in the palace. If you dare to touch me, believe it or not, there will be countless people in the palace the next day. petition?"
"so what?"
Kurudo glanced at him: "You think I'm afraid of this?"
He really wasn't afraid of this threat.
Even if the King of Knights abdicates and a new king ascends the throne, the relationship between the new king and him is also very good.
This can be seen from the name of the new king.
In terms of relationship, the new king is the child of the Knight King, but also Kurudo's adopted son.
Kurudo is regarded as the adoptive father of the new king.
Even if the entire court petitions and reports Kurudo's crimes, is it possible that the new king will attack his adoptive father
nonexistent.
"alright."
In the end, it was the King of Knights who spoke and stopped the discussion between the two.
As in the past, until now, the voice of the King of Knights is still soft, and the gentleness in it is clearly felt.
He seems to have always been like this, with a gentle attitude towards others, whether they are enemies or friends.
"Carrie, we're leaving."
The King of Knights said with a smile: "Leaving this time, if there is no accident, it may be the last time we meet."
"To celebrate this last encounter, let's drink."
He raised his wine glass and raised it high towards Kaili and the two of them.
In this regard, the two of Kaili did not hesitate at all, and directly raised their wine glasses and touched the wine glasses of the King of Knights.
A crisp sound sounded on the spot, followed by loud discussions and laughter.
On this day, they discussed many things.
From the interesting things that happened when they were young, to all the things they encountered during the establishment of the Naduo Kingdom, and many policies within the Naduo Kingdom, they all said it out of their mouths.
They talked about a lot of things, and they were very complicated, and the discussions were very happy.
For people of their status, many things always need to be hidden in the bottom of their hearts.
They may have the desire to talk, but ordinary people are no longer qualified to listen to them.
Because there are many things that only those who experienced it at the beginning can tell.
That night, the three of them got drunk before resting.
Well, to be precise, it's just two people.
The King of Knights was not drunk.
He sat quietly in his place, his face was still calm, and he looked very sober.
Prior to this, both Kurduo and Carey were bragging about their drinking capacity, but in the end they were both drunk.
Although Kurudo is a knight, he still doesn't seem to be able to drink well, and he just barely fought with Kyrie to lose both sides.
On the contrary, the King of Knights, who remained calm from the beginning to the end, sat at the end without saying a word.
What people didn't expect was that the King of Knights seemed ordinary, but in fact he was the one with the best drinking capacity.
Even after drinking to the end, his figure didn't change much, not even his face was rosy.
"Help them down to rest, and arrange a room for me by the way, thank you."
Standing up from where he was, the King of Knights looked gently at the stewards in the distance, and spoke to them who were at a loss.
Overnight.
On the second day, the King of Knights bid farewell to Kaili and left directly.
Before they left, Carey struggled to get up and came to a room that hadn't been opened for a long time.
The room is full of various things, including a pair of exquisite armor.
That suit of armor was Carey's favorite when he was young.
In the beginning, he often wore this pair of armor to follow the King of Knights and fight with him.
It wasn't until later that Kaili was injured and his body became weaker and weaker that this armor was sealed by him and placed in this room.
Over the years, there has been a lot of dust on the armor, but the luster on it is still bright and very clear.
Carey looked at the armor and finally took a deep breath.
Regardless of the objections of the housekeeper, he asked someone to put on this armor for him.
The King of Knights is leaving, and the monarch he is loyal to is leaving.
As a former follower of the Knight King, even though he is old, he still wants to put on the armor and follow the Knight King again as he did when he was young.
In this way, even if you die on the road, you will not regret it before you die.
He put on his armor again, and began to recall the scene when he rode his horse to kill the enemy when he was young.
However, the reality is not so beautiful after all.
After all, he is not the same as when he was young.
After putting on the armor, heavy pressure hit Kaili.
He couldn't move as freely as he had in his youth, and after taking only two or three steps, he couldn't walk anymore.
At this moment, he really realized that he was really old.
He couldn't ride a horse anymore, and he couldn't move in armor.
With him like this, how can he follow the King of Knights and participate in this expedition
Finally, he let out a sigh and chose silence.
That day, the King of Knights waved goodbye to Kaili with a smile, and asked him to live well before he died.
"We're gone, but the country still needs someone to look after it."
The King of Knights smiled and said, "Kayle, you will be our eyes and see the future of this country for us."
These are the last words of the King of Knights.
Carey nodded with a smile.
But at night, in the dead of night, when no one was around, Kaili woke up from the dream and cried directly.
