"The method is..."
Du Wei was about to ask, but then he saw the expression on the young man Kakarot's face. He seemed so firm and smart as Du Wei, of course he immediately understood what Kakarot meant. the secret. It brought misfortune to his teacher, so why would Kakarot tell others casually
"Why did you come to this competition?" Du Wei changed the question.
"I want to be a knight, I need status, power and wealth..." Kakarot clenched his fists: "That guy. He is the garrison commander, and he has power and power in the local area... I. If I am alone, there is no I can't avenge my teacher. So, when I heard there was a chance here, I came here. The notice said. As long as you enter this competition. Get into the top fifty, no matter what your status is, you can get the status of a knight! I need A good identity. Otherwise, as the son of a slave, the first generation of free people. I have never had a chance to make a difference in my life. And... the champion of the big competition can become the head of a knight order, and it is still in the imperial capital. I think maybe , this is an opportunity…”
"You want revenge." Du Wei nodded. He saw the flames of hatred in Kakarot's eyes.
"The teacher was killed by that guy." Kakarot's eyes turned red suddenly, and tears flowed: "The garrison commander of that place has a grudge against the teacher, and that guy is specifically looking for trouble with those retired mercenaries. Because usually. Retired mercenaries will carry a lifetime of adventure savings and have a lot of money in their hands. That guy did it many times a few days ago. He killed many old mercenaries who retired and lived in seclusion, and he always gave Those people constituted crimes, according to the laws of the empire a few years ago. Mercenaries are illegal. So he can use the name of the law to arrest those retired old mercenaries with impunity. Then confiscate their property, but later, the imperial code did The mercenary was legal, and the commander had no money. But later he found out that my teacher was once a member of the famous Hongxue Mercenary Group, and he also found out that the Hongxue Mercenary Group was involved in an adventure. The whole army was wiped out. That greedy commander, he seemed to be convinced. As the only survivor, my teacher must have taken all the wealth accumulated by the mercenary group over the years. So, he set his sights on me teacher…
"But your teacher doesn't seem to have much money." Du Wei sighed.
"Yes, he didn't." Kakarot said with a gloomy face: "The teacher turned against the members of the mercenary group. Fighting out. How could he get the property? All these years have been relying on his meager Our life is very difficult. However, the commander did not believe it. That greedy guy always thought that the teacher must have buried a large amount of wealth quietly, so he arranged a murder My teacher's actions. He secretly threatened my teacher twice to no avail. He sent someone to the tavern where my teacher was drinking. Drugged his wine. Then... sent a group of guards dressed as civilians... my teacher He was beaten to death by them when he resisted, that bastard...he finally caught a few drunk and homeless people from the street, and he was charged with this crime!"
Kakarot finally shed tears.
Du Wei knew that there was no need to say anything more now.
He had already walked to Kakarot's side and looked at the young man: "Your greatest wish. Is revenge?"
"Yes. Apart from revenge, I have no other demands."
"Okay." Du Wei said solemnly, "I'll avenge you, but... you know what I want."
Kakarot raised his eyelids and looked at Du Wei with red eyes: "My lord, if you can help me avenge me, I will tell you the secret... Besides, my life will be yours too!"
Outside the imperial capital in February. On both sides of the road. Some wild flowers with strong vitality have grown. Although it has just entered spring, those persistent wild plants. But they can't wait to show their tenacious vitality.
Small white flowers dotted along the roadside. It brings a touch of bright color to passers-by on the journey.
In fact, the weather has been pretty good since February. The sky cleared. The sun drove away the last of the cold that remained of winter, so to speak. Spring seems to have come earlier this year than in previous years.
Outside the Acropolis on the west side of the imperial capital. A group of people just walked out of the gate of the Acropolis, and they stayed in the Acropolis last night. But at this moment, the guarding knights in full armor with distinctive banners, and the leading riders waved the banner of the Tulip family. Let passers-by and caravans on the road look sideways. Send a respectful look.
Several large carriages were protected in the middle by a team of cavalry, and the carriage at the front was so luxurious that it was unimaginable. If not everyone knew that Duke Tulip was in the city now... I am afraid that everyone who saw it would think that the person sitting in this carriage was Du Wei himself.
Of course, as resounding as Du Wei's reputation as a genius, is the reputation of the Duke Tulip who is keen on all comforts and enjoyments—from this point of view. Many people who admire Du Wei's genius strength often feel a little sour in their hearts: other strong people have practiced hard. It is almost like self-abuse to hone oneself and give up all the enjoyment of life. Only by living a life close to that of an ascetic can one obtain that powerful strength!
But our Lord Duke. A double genius of magic and martial arts. He is a nobleman. Hot Yuan Yu fine wine and fine clothes. Like all the beautiful luxury habits in life... Such a person. To be able to practice magic and martial arts to such a high level, apart from being a genius, I am afraid that the luck of our lord Duke must also be blessed by women.
It's just... It's so unreasonable!
Many warriors think this way: I practice hard every day for several hours. From dawn to dusk. But right now it's only level x. But the duke. He hugged the beautiful woman, drank fine wine, and fell asleep on the soft bed. Wearing Chinese clothes, riding horses and hunting, leisurely and leisurely. He easily reached the ranks of senior warriors.
This is not unreasonable, what is it? !
Check out this carriage! Delicate wheels. There are also the faint magic lines, the finest wood, and the horses pulling the cart—all these are just to reduce the bumps when the carriage is driving.
However. Sitting in the carriage at the moment. Of course not Du Wei.
Princess Louise leaning against the window. Looking at the outline of the imperial city wall in the distance, she was a little lost, judging from the expression of Her Royal Highness the Princess. She obviously had something on her mind, and the uneasy eyes showed that she was very troubled by something. Her Royal Highness, the princess who had been a "nurse" in Giliat for several months. After procrastination and procrastination. Finally, she had no choice but to embark on the road back to the imperial capital—after all, she was a princess of the imperial family, even if she dragged it on with such a silly reason as life. She couldn't live in Gilliard City forever.
And back to the imperial capital... that person...
The princess was holding her heart and worrying, with a delicate look on her face. At this time, a knight in silver armor came to the carriage for the first time and gently knocked on the window.
bang bang bang. There were three crisp sounds.
Louise immediately lifted her spirits, and a trace of tenderness instantly appeared on her face, and she opened the car window. Look at the knight sitting on the horse outside.
"We're almost there." The knight's voice was hoarse. However, what should have been a hard and cold tone of voice, when facing the princess, was involuntarily added with a bit of imperceptible tenderness.
Sitting on the horse, Hussein looked at the beautiful face in the carriage. Even his eyes softened a little.
At this moment, our Paladin. It's no longer the usual black robe dress when I was in the northwest!
He put on a bright silver knight armor and wore a badge of a ninth-level knight on his chest (of course. This badge was bought by Du Wei early on from that guy in Delong and sent to the northwest go,)
On Hussein's face, all the stubble that had been growing before was also shaved clean. The contours of his already handsome face were fully exposed! Our paladin has always been a handsome and cool man. At this moment, he no longer hides his appearance. It even restored some of the demeanor of the "No. 1 Knight in the Mainland" who was popular with a generation of girls in the imperial capital back then.
Dazzling and gorgeous silver knight armor, bright red cloak, tall and straight figure sitting on horseback, handsome face, sharp-edged silhouette... Of course, except for the one-eyed person who feels a little uncoordinated. However, there is a little scar on the face and under the eyes. But it added a bit of sturdy color to him besides being handsome!
Putting on such bright knight armor again, you don't need to hide your head and tail in black robes all day long. Such a feeling. It made Hussein feel that the haze in his heart seemed to be much less, and his whole person seemed to have come out of the years of depression.
and. This is after he rebelled and left the church. Returning to the imperial capital for the first time!
All of this is naturally thanks to Du Wei.
Since Du Wei's confrontation that day, in the corridor behind the ring, after the tit-for-tat threat with His Majesty the Pope. His Holiness the Pope was quick to deliver on his promise. After the second day. The news about Hussein has already been released. Soon, it spread throughout the entire empire through the channels of churches all over the continent.
The content of that message is simple. That is, the church has confirmed it. Hussein, the biggest traitor of the temple, has died. The Pope's personal order. The arrest warrant for him was cancelled. That is to say, from the "law", Hussein is already a dead person.
so. Now Hussain can walk back into the sun again.
"We're almost there." Hussein looked into Princess Louise's eyes, and the arc of his mouth was soft.
Louise was smiling. Obviously, the girlish smile was full of sweetness. She glanced at the paladin. Suddenly, a shy blush appeared on his face: "You, are you telling me this?"
"No." Hussein's expression was very serious: "I just want to see you."
It's a very simple sentence, not very enthusiastic, but Louise is already very content to let this indifferent man say such words.
After spending several months in Gilliat, Louise fell deeply in love with this strong and unyielding paladin. This man who would rather bend than bend, as for Hussein
Look at his eyes. You will know the answer.
"You... would you like to come up and sit for a while?" The princess shyly sent out the invitation.
Hussain shook his head: "No need. I just want to see you."
"But I'm a little worried, this is the imperial capital after all." Princess Louise suddenly panicked: "Your identity..."
She is a princess of the royal family, of course she knows many cruel and nasty things in the temple, she is very worried. In the imperial capital. Suddenly, a large number of holy knights will appear and arrest Hussein. And tied to the stake...
"Everything has been resolved." Hussein smiled mockingly: "I know the church. Since they have announced my death, it means that this matter is over. Even if I appear in front of their eyes now , They will not admit that I am "Hussein who has died", otherwise. Wouldn't it be a joke to admit the order written by His Majesty the Pope? Temples are usually very face-saving, and Du Wei will do this It's beautiful."
"I am very grateful to him." Princess Louise said sincerely: "You know, Hussein. When the news came, I could feel that your mood improved a lot... You finally started to have a smile on your face. smile."
This time, our Paladin. Our strong man in his thirties. Suddenly a rare gentle look appeared on his face, when he smiled, even the sharp outline. It also seems to be a lot softer.
hesitated for a moment. Hussein looked into the eyes of the princess. At this moment, the icebergs in the paladin's eyes had melted: "No, you are wrong. My change is not because of that news... but because of you."
because of you!
