The convoy traveled for a day. Obviously, this newly joined female knight has aroused the attention of colleagues. Of course, this is not only because she is the only woman among the people who walk in the sky, but also because of the relationship between this female knight and the young master.
Last night, she walked out of the little master's room. And overnight, she sent herself to the door to swear allegiance.
And this kind of attention actually includes a layer of... a little bit of jealousy.
Yes, jealousy.
Because, this woman actually won the title of real "Knight"!
It must be noted that the so-called "guardian knights" of the family were not actually considered true knights. Family guardian knight is actually just a title, a title with the name "knight". It's like Haima, although the name also has the word "horse", but no one really thinks that Haima and a horse are the same thing.
In a sense, they can only be regarded as a group of "cavalry". It was a group of guard cavalry. Not really a knight class. A woman whom these men had only met for a day, a woman with third-rate martial arts, suddenly got what these men dreamed of, which made them jealous.
It's unlucky enough to be dispatched to the backcountry with this useless little master. Their only pursuit is to hope that one day this master will suddenly favor them and recruit them from guard cavalry to honorary knights—that's the only way to pursue them.
Everyone knew that it was impossible for this little master to obtain the right to inherit the title of earl. He will be a baron at most in the future, and a baron is only authorized by law to recruit ten knights... Now, in just one day, a woman of unknown origin has occupied a precious spot! That's enough to make these people feel a little unbalanced.
The most reasonable explanation is that this thirteen-year-old little master probably doesn't know what a "knight" is. He simply treated this precious thing as a child's game, and gave it to others at will!
And, more importantly... who told that chick to be beautiful and have a pair of plump and beautiful thighs
Resign yourself to fate!
Ruo Lin could already feel the disapproving eyes from the new colleagues around her. It seemed that even her two original companions didn't understand. But Ruolin still decided to believe in her own vision!
This new master, this young master named Du Wei, will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future! Choosing to be loyal to him should not be a wrong decision!
When the sunset covered the sky again, Du Wei's convoy had just crossed a big river. The bridge built with round boulders had a history of nearly a hundred years. A beautiful emerald color.
And the name of this big river is exactly called "Emerald River". Of course, it also has a more official name: Luolin River!
This river is named after the Rollins family.
The Luolin River traverses the southern part of the empire, Kot province, and divides the fertile southern part of the empire into two. With this river as the boundary line, as long as you cross this river, you have already set foot on the family territory of the Luo Lin family! Half of the Cote province to the south of the river belongs to the Luo Lin family!
The south bank of the river is a flat plain. Considering the hilly terrain in the south, the area of this plain is quite considerable. There are fertile land, verdant forests, and farms all over the place, with a warm climate, plenty of sunshine, and proper rain.
This is one of the richest lands in the empire and an important location for the empire's food production. This plain is exactly half of the area of Kote Province, and it also has an official name... Luolin Plain!
Yep, that's also named after the Rollings.
Such a strange naming method began about two hundred years ago.
Two hundred years ago, the Roland Empire experienced a great Patriotic War. According to historical records, the alien race located in the north of the mainland invaded south, dragging the entire Roland Empire into the quagmire of war, and there were rebellions within the declining empire. Occurrence, the empire was once on the verge of collapse.
During the war, a group of outstanding figures emerged, including a general of the Luo Lin family. After accumulating meritorious service, the general finally became a marshal of the empire (this is also the history of the Luo Lin family for more than 300 years. The only imperial marshal in history.). What's more, it's worth pointing out that the emperor married his younger sister to him in order to win over this accomplished marshal.
Just before an important decisive battle, in order to encourage his brother-in-law to fight the enemy bravely, His Majesty the Emperor raised his whip and pointed to the south bank of the Emerald River on the spot, and announced: "If you come back victorious, then from now on, this river will be the boundary. I will reward you with all the land in the south of the province! Moreover, from now on, the river here and this plain will be changed to your family’s name! This is to show the extraordinaryness of the Luo Lin family and their outstanding contribution to the empire!”
Such encouragement inspired the courage of the Marshal. He commanded the decisive battle brilliantly, finally won the war and saved the fate of the empire! At the same time, he also won the agreement with the emperor!
After that, Emerald River was renamed Rollin River! And the plain in the south was also renamed Luolin Plain—two hundred years have passed, and now people have even forgotten what this plain was called before!
Because, in all the official documents and local rosters of the empire, "Rollin River" and "Rollin Plain" are clearly written.
Although two hundred years have passed, as members of the Luo Lin family, even these low-level guard cavalry, when they crossed the river and set foot on this plain land, they still couldn't help but feel excited!
This is a sense of belonging and honor to the family!
look! This is the place of Luo Lin's house! It is the place where the great ancestors of the Luo Lin family carved their names! Here, the great Rollin family engraved their names in the history of the empire! It is also engraved on this land!
Du Wei, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that the carriage slowed down, and there was a strange movement outside. Du Weila opened the window, and saw the knights in front of them couldn't help taking off their hats and cheering. Their faces swept away the decadence on the road in recent days, and everyone's faces exuded joy and enthusiasm from the heart. glory! And... adore!
"Go home! The Rollins go home! Back to our own land!"
The cavalry cheered, and some even forgot their discipline and galloped back and forth. Even though the horseshoes trampled happily on the black soil, even their chief didn't intend to restrain these excited subordinates at the moment, but sat on the horse and watched all this with a smile!
Unlike other families in the empire, the Luo Lin family has maintained a very ancient tradition! That is: the knights and warriors in the family only recruit people from the family territory!
Quite a few of the guard cavalry who came back with Du Wei were born in the Luolin Plain! They are the real people of the Luo Lin family, people who have lived and lived here for several generations!
According to the traditional practice, the Luo Lin family's private soldiers in the territory, the family's guard cavalry, and even the family's personal soldiers, every bodyguard, try to select "own family members" from the Luo Lin Plain! Because every Patriarch believes that this approach can guarantee the loyalty of his subordinates and the centripetal force to the family! For example, the chief bodyguard of the current head of the family, the Earl, and the first martial arts teacher of the second young master Gabriel, the Alpha Swordsman, was born in the Luolin Plain.
These cavalry guards who were sent out of the imperial capital with Du Wei were unhappy because they were kicked out of the empire, but fortunately at this moment, the joy of returning home finally diluted the depression in their hearts.
Sitting in the carriage, Du Wei looked at the cavalry who rode their horses and shouted happily. He pondered for a while, and immediately understood the reason, and then said with a smile, "Made, have we crossed the Luolin River?"
"Yes, my master." Ma De immediately rode his horse and felt the side of the car, his face also had a trace of joy: "We are home."
Du Wei glanced at Made: "Oh, Made, tell me, are you also born in Cote Province?"
"Yes. Although I grew up in the imperial capital, my father is a native of the Luo Lin family." Made also raised a smile: "My father has been a groom in the Luo Lin family all his life, and I, inherited his job."
After a pause, Made carefully glanced at the little master, lowered his voice and said: "My master, I need to remind you of one thing... um..."
"What?"
"What you just said, what you said, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Made's face showed a rare seriousness!
"What's wrong?" Du Wei smiled and said, "Just point out my mistake."
"You just asked me if I was born in the "Kote Province". Such a statement is a bit inappropriate." Ma De looked at the expression of the master, and said cautiously: "Although the Luolin Plain is in the "Kote Province" However, when a real citizen of the Luo Lin family mentions his native place, we never say "I am from the province of Cote"! A real citizen of the Luo Lin family mentions his birth land, will only say "I am from the Rolling Plains! ". A true member of the Luo Lin family will be proud and proud of being a Luo Lin person from the bottom of his heart! My master, so... when you face other Luo Lin family members in the future , please don't say "Kote provincial people", please be sure to call "Rolin Plains people"! Otherwise, the other party may feel hurt because of your words. And... you are still a family The eldest son of the patriarch, you can't hurt the feelings of the family members with your words."
Seeing that the former groom could say such a thing with pride, even Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
Maybe... I really underestimated this family.
Looking at those cheerful cavalrymen, watching the heartfelt pride on their faces... Only a truly great family can do this.
So, speaking of such a situation, the Earl who was in the imperial capital saw that the eldest son he had placed high hopes on was an idiot. Disappointment and anxiety are understandable.
Although I didn't take it seriously when the father treated me coldly in the past. But at this moment, Du Wei suddenly understood the earl's mood from the bottom of his heart!
As a father, he might be able to bear that his son is a waste! However, as the leader of the family, he absolutely cannot tolerate that the heir of the family who has high hopes is a waste! Because he must take responsibility for the future of such a great family!
From this point of view, he abandoned himself resolutely and was indifferent to himself. All of this is justifiable.
At such a moment, Du Wei lost his mind.
Seeing the bewildered expression on the little master's face, Made was a little surprised. Because since he became Du Wei's personal servant, what he has seen is: since the young master was six years old, his face has always been calm and calm, with an expression of neither flatter nor surprise! Has the master's face ever been so dazed and groggy
"This... my master, can we go home now?" Made asked cautiously.
"Go home... oh, go home." Du Wei replied subconsciously, and then suddenly, an unstoppable thought came to his mind!
go home!
At this moment, Du Wei's heart that had been a little dazed all these years seemed to finally have a ray of light blooming!
Yes, go home!
For me who do not belong to this world, what I lack the most is a sense of belonging to this world! I have been indifferent in the past few years, I don't like to express my inner feelings, and even deliberately suppressed some inner feelings... In fact, the most fundamental reason is: I haven't really regarded myself as a person in this world in my heart! Because of this, many times, many things, for me, I look at the world as if I look at it from the perspective of a spectator, a bystander... and this kind of mentality has caused my inner indifference!
Go home... what a beautiful word.
And what I lack now, isn't it a formal sense of belonging to this world
In the past few years, Du Wei, who had been indifferent to everything, suddenly felt a strange anticipation in his heart that he would soon return to the ancestral property of Luo Lin's family!
Look at those proud cavalrymen...
Hmm... Rolling Plains? I wonder if I can find a sense of belonging in this land
I hope so!
Now that it is impossible to really go home. So... It is also necessary to find a new home that can be placed in the heart, so that one can have a belonging in the heart.
After all, since one has come to this world, life must go on.
With the afterglow of the setting sun, Duwei Rollin pushed the door and got out of the carriage, walked out of the dark and closed carriage, stepped out of the shadows, and stood under the beautiful sunset.
The sun shines on his face, as if dispelling all the haze. A smile finally appeared on the young man's face... Moreover, there was finally a long-lost emotion in his expression.
This emotion is: look forward to!
