"Oh! Let's go to the castle right away... My Tanasa and little Owen must follow me, they can't go anywhere!"
Wu Ming followed Lorian into the mansion, walked through a corridor, and immediately heard a soprano voice coming from the hall, extremely sharp.
"Madam, please remain calm!"
Another strong male voice came: "Although the young lady and the young master are still young, they both have the blood of nobles, and they have reached the age to take responsibility... This time, if Viscount Garcia asks for attendants, there are only two direct descendants. Only then can he be satisfied..."
"My God! Let the dragon take him away!"
A woman's cry came: "My poor Tanasa, she is only nine years old!"
"Ahem!"
At this time, Lorian finally couldn't bear it anymore, coughed, and entered the hall.
"Ma'am, I brought you William. He persisted on the battlefield until the last moment. Maybe he knows more news..."
"Dear madam!"
Wu Ming rolled his eyes secretly, but still bowed meticulously, after all, he hadn't mastered the power to gain respect at this time.
"I don't want to see William... I just want my Tanasa and Owen to be safe!"
Wu Ming took a sneak peek at the baroness, and saw that she was wearing a black dress, she seemed to be in her thirties, but her face was covered by heavy makeup, her eyes were red and swollen, with dark circles, she was obviously a little nervous up.
"I'm going to write to my father immediately! We, the Tut family, will not sit idly by!"
The baroness kissed the foreheads of the two boys and girls in front of her, and it was obvious that they were terrified.
"We have blue blood and are born noble! We will never surrender!"
"Ahem!"
At this time, a silver-haired old man with combed back hair and meticulous clothes, coughing like a housekeeper coughed: "Dear Madam, I have to remind you that your father, Baron Tut, is also one of the prisoners this time." , and, although Viscount Garcia himself is an outsider, he also inherited the blood of the plateau army, and he is also a nobleman... "
"Nine Hells..."
The baroness clutched her forehead in despair: "I want to go to the castle immediately! I will call the Knights of Auf and Thakur, and bring their best manpower, right now!"
"Your will will be done!"
The old housekeeper bowed helplessly.
Seeing this, Lorian shrugged helplessly at Wu Ming: "Then I'll take my leave, ma'am!"
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Wu Ming heaved a sigh of relief.
The baroness was like this, but she allowed him to pass the test easily, and it was considered a clear path.
Since then, no one can talk about his desertion experience.
Of course, Wu Ming, who knew this, immediately expressed his gratitude to Lorian.
"This is what you deserve!"
Luo Lian patted Wu Ming on the shoulder: "And, after this time, you have served this year's military service. If the Baron enlists again, you must pay the reward... Of course, I suggest you take the initiative to continue and make meritorious deeds." , there are a lot of empty seats in the guard this time..."
He looked at Wu Ming with a look you know, and then strode away.
"strangeness… "
Wu Ming watched this person off, but there was doubt in his eyes.
This time, Lorian was lukewarm to him before, so why did he treat him differently this time.
Could it be that because of hearing about his performance on the battlefield, he felt a little pity for his talent? Unfortunately, if he knew that William could not move because of fear, he might not know what expression he would have.
"Of course, this is also an opportunity!"
The memories of William from the past told Wu Ming how rare this opportunity is!
In the entire territory, most of them are low-class people such as tenant farmers and slaves. If they can be recommended by Lorian and become a formal soldier, although it is not a leap to the top, at least their status will be greatly improved.
Moreover, only by making meritorious service or obtaining the approval of the lord can one obtain the status of a free citizen!
"Only by approaching the castle can we get more information about this world, such as knight training..."
Wu Ming recalled the memory of William.
To become a knight, you must first become a squire.
Most of this occupation is performed by the second and third sons of minor nobles or knights. They will be sent to familiar knight families since childhood, live with the head of the family, and learn to take care of horses, scrub armor, and use spears Combat techniques with two-handed greatswords.
After their family has accumulated a set of knight armor and made enough contributions to the lord, they may be rewarded with a manor as a fief, officially becoming a knight class and a noble reserve.
As for the real noble son? They were either trained by their heirs since they were young, or they were sent to serve as servants by the side of bigger nobles, as a proof of their allegiance, and at the same time they learned all kinds of knowledge, and they felt like hostages.
"With my true spirit essence, I'm still closer to the legal system... But now it's not bad to have a physics department's power rules in this world as a comparison..."
Wu Ming was quite open-minded.
Although I don't know what the mystery of this knight inheritance is, there must be some unique features that can benefit him now.
"William?"
He strolled to the front of a hotel when an old woman in an apron came out and stared at him in disbelief.
"Oh! Poor little William!"
First of all, there was a bit of disbelief on her face, and then a bit of surprise: "Bless the gods! You are still alive!"
"I'm really sorry for making you worry, Aunt Roja!"
Wu Ming bowed slightly.
William had the impression of this woman in his memory. He was an orphan since he was a child, and he was struggling to survive by working for Aunt Roya who opened the hotel, and this aunt also took good care of him.
Of course, there is also her daughter—Sophia, a seventeen-year-old girl who is at her most youthful and beautiful time.
William, who was also young, had already started thinking about this girl. He had seriously considered the possibility of marrying this girl until he went to the battlefield...
"It's fine!"
Aunt Roya wiped her eyes, and dragged Wu Ming into the hotel: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"Well, please bring me a bowl of creamy matsutake soup and three pieces of oatmeal bread!"
Wu Ming touched his stomach, took out a dozen copper coins, and forced them into Aunt Roya's hands.
After a lap on the battlefield, there is still some gain.
"Okay, you wait..."
After watching Aunt Luo Ya turn into the back hall, Wu Ming sat down on a table in the corner and looked around silently.
As the only hotel in the town, Aunt Roja's business is still decent. In the empty hall, there are some people sitting in twos and threes at this time. The legendary adventurers and bards are missing, but most of them are locals. Drinking low-alcohol ale in an oak cup, talking and laughing casually, passing the time.
"Look! Little William is back!"
A rosacea-nosed uncle coaxed: "I hope you didn't lose any parts on the battlefield... hiccup..."
"Thanks to you, I'm finally safe and sound!"
Wu Ming didn't bother with him, because he knew it was just a joke without malice.
"William, yours!"
At this time, a girl in a burlap skirt ran out like the wind, holding a wooden tray in her hand, which contained a bowl of soup, three pieces of brown bread, cut extremely thick, and a piece of bacon, which was already Fried with oil, it smells like meat.
"Everyone!"
Sophia said loudly: "My mother said, in order to celebrate William's safe return, she invites her to have a glass of ale!"
"oh!"
Many drunkards rejoiced, and raised their glasses one after another: "Cheers to that lucky young man!"
Wu Ming looked at Sophia, who ran back to the back kitchen and watched secretly, touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
From William's point of view, Sophia is naturally a fairy.
But he wasn't William, and he didn't want to have anything to do with this person's past.
The matsutake soup is very fragrant and has a strong taste. Aunt Roja's craftsmanship is obviously very good. There is also oatmeal bread, which is much softer and more delicious than the lowest-grade black bread.
Wu Ming sandwiched the bacon between two slices of bread and ate it with big mouthfuls, a bunch of memories came back to his mind.
As the lower class, William has naturally suffered a lot in the past. The staple food is basically black bread as hard as a brick. If you eat it dry, it will definitely knock down a few teeth, and it is so hard to swallow that you can't wait to stab it down your throat with the handle of a knife.
'This body is too weak, and it's not congenitally deficient...'
Wu Ming secretly sighed in his heart.
After gaining a stable life, the first thing to do is to take good care of your body.
Without this foundation, no matter how much you want to train and improve, it will be useless.
After eating and drinking enough, and thanking Aunt Roja repeatedly, Wu Ming came to his residence, William's cabin.
It is located on the edge of the town, crooked, it looks like a shack that may collapse at any time, Wu Ming was speechless when he saw it.
Squeak!
He pushed open the door, and there was a musty smell, and the stale air was filled with dust, which made him frown.
"There's nothing worth cleaning up... except..."
Wu Ming came to the corner of the room, moved a stone slab, and dug down the soil, finally digging out a small black bag.
With a slight shake, a crisp sound came from inside.
He opened the pocket, tilted it slightly, and rolled out with a flash of silver light.
"Three silver thalers, and some coppers, that's all William's wealth..."
Wu Ming sighed.
Even if he left the battlefield, the little fortune he gave away at random was much more than this, which made him sigh with emotion.
"Fortunately, this person is an orphan, and the only one who has any relationship is Aunt Roya's family. They have no worries and no worries. It is the least cause and effect..."
This is also what Wu Ming is most satisfied with.
