Early the next morning, at Vincent's urging, Wei En reluctantly climbed out of bed, had a few bites of breakfast, and started his journey.

Traveling all the way, when they took a break at noon, Wei En and Vincent found a shady place and sat down. Because the weather was very hot, Fanny, who was usually lively, became much more honest and hid in the carriage with Carmen.

Lunch break.

After a full rest last night, Wei En, although he has not yet fully adapted to the hardships of the journey, his physical fatigue is no longer so obvious. He pulled off a grass root and chewed it in his mouth, saying, "Where are we?"

"We have walked over three hundred miles. If nothing else happens, we will be able to arrive at Wattawa City by dinner time. It is the largest city at the junction of the Shire and Yorkshire." Vincent replied.

When Wei En heard this, his tired expression cheered up a little, and he said: "Well, then I want to take a comfortable hot bath tonight."

Vincent glanced at Wei En and said: "Wei En, I've been thinking about it all morning, and I think it's better to explain some things clearly to you."

"Tell me, why are we still so hesitant between us?"

"Okay. Why did Tour give you the Apocalypse of the Stars? You may not know its weight, but he knows the value of this treasure. It was the treasure of Pompeii back then."

Wei En was silent for a while and then said: "Do you know Tur's true identity?"

Vincent also fell silent, and after a moment he said: "I understand. Because of my affairs, he found a solution to the curse of fate in you?"

"You also know the curse of fate? Haha." Wei En smiled. Since Vincent studied at Norton College, he was naturally not a member of the Tour clan.

Vincent looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Weien, you must have thought clearly about this matter. No one knows whether it is a blessing or a curse to interfere in the affairs of the royal family."

Wei En turned to stare at Vincent and said: "Brother, I understand this. However, it is not very meaningful if we can help Carmen and the others get rid of this so-called curse so that they can enjoy life freely.

Something?"

"Enjoy life?" Vincent chewed on Wei En's fresh words and was speechless for a moment.

"A person who has forgotten the past and is not bound by experience often does not have much fear of the unknown." Wei En smiled mockingly to himself.

Vincent looked up and stared at the tree crown above his head. The sunlight penetrated the leaves and revealed mottled light: "Okay, brother. Since you have decided, I won't talk nonsense."

Wei En followed Vincent's example and raised his head and closed his eyes. After a while, he suddenly said: "What does it feel like after a person is cursed?"

"This is a very strange feeling. It can't be said to be uncomfortable, but my body gradually feels very cold. It's like being slowly immersed in ice water in the middle of winter. A chill spreads from the limbs to the whole body. In the end, it seems that even breathing and heartbeat can't be stopped.

It became very difficult.”

"A painful torture, yes."

"Maybe, for ordinary people."

Wei En nodded, recalling the magic of that night and the beautiful voice that never appeared again. Vincent continued: "Wei En, you told me that you don't know how you saved me, but I

While doing the exercises, I can feel the power you left in my body."

"Oh?" Wei En asked, "Interesting. Does that power have any hindrance to your martial arts?"

"Not only is it not a hindrance, it is also very helpful. I think with its help, I will be able to break through the current situation soon."

Wei En smiled and said: "Then what situation are you in now?"

"I haven't done the qualification verification, but I think I can be on par with the third-year Royal Knights."

"Wait, qualification verification, Royal Knight? What does this mean? Tell me quickly."

Vincent smiled: "Royal Knight is a title in mainland China. Warriors with the title of Royal Knight can enjoy the privileges of nobility."

“What about qualification verification?”

"Qualification verification is an official assessment jointly organized by the church and the palace. It is mainly used to authenticate people who practice strength or magic. Generally speaking, most of the people who are qualified to be authenticated are martial arts apprentices and magic apprentices. After the assessment,

After that, you can be promoted to knight, swordsman or sorcerer, which can be divided into third, sixth and ninth grades. The validity period is ten years. If you are not promoted within ten years, you need to re-certify."

"What about promotion?" Wei En asked.

"After promotion, you will become a royal knight, swordsman and royal mage, and you will enjoy the royal noble treatment. But this is already difficult, there is no one in ten thousand."

Wei En looked Vincent up and down and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, then you are very confident as a third-year royal knight who is unique in ten thousand."

Vincent said seriously: "If you have strength, you will naturally have confidence." After saying that, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What a wonderful advertising slogan." Wei En muttered quietly.

Vincent frowned and said, "What did you say?"

Wei En said hurriedly: "Nothing. Oh, what if the Royal Knights advance again?"

"That will become a legendary brave man and wise man. But this cannot be verified, because there is no such top person in the court and the Holy See Verification Committee, and the real brave man and wise man don't care about royal titles, so this is just people's praise

Such an honorific title for a top person."

Wei En said: "I understand this. Since he is a legendary figure, are there any wise men and brave men in this world?"

"I don't know. Back then, the Emperor of Canterbury in the Kingdom of Kant was said to be a brave man. Now? Maybe Pope Paul II in the Dusk Castle was a wise man. However, now this royal title is not only a symbol of honor, but also a wise man.

It has become a kind of ladder for people to seek wealth, so those who are committed to cultivation may not necessarily participate in the so-called certification. It is just because this classification of grades is relatively quantitative and specific, so it has become a universal standard for measuring strength."

"For example, you are the kind of cultivator who ignores wealth, right." Wei En said with a deliberately reverent tone.

Vincent sighed: "Me, to be honest, I still prefer a richer life."

The two looked at each other and laughed. At this moment, the knight Traore walked over with his sword in hand and a bulging belly, with an angry look on his face: "Why are you two still here? Let's go, hurry back to the queue.

.”

The two of them got up from the ground, and while they were patting the ground, Wei En whispered: "What level of title does this Knight Traore have? How does it compare with you?".

Vincent said lightly: "Brother, I never make unnecessary comparisons." After a pause, he added: "But to be honest, a knight who has just been promoted still has a long way to go. Look at this special

At Mr. Laurey's age, it is estimated that he will have no hope of promotion in his life."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The convoy walked for another whole afternoon, and in the evening, they finally entered Wattawa, the leading commercial town in Shire County.

Perhaps because the nobles of the Xiao family were accompanying them, the chief warden of Shire County, Earl MacLaren, attached great importance to their arrival and specially arranged a high-end accommodation for them to rest. The three carriages of the Xiao family drove directly.

Entered the Earl's Manor.

After dinner, Wei En took a comfortable bath and was playing with Fanny with Carmen. Ruola seemed to have fallen in love with Fanny these days, chatting and laughing with everyone, and her relationship with Wei En also eased.

A lot.

Seeing that Ruola was in high spirits, Wei En suggested: "How about we go out for a walk later? I heard that there is a night garden here, which is very good to play at night."

Ruola glanced at Wei En and said, "How do you know? Have you ever been there?"

Wei En said: "No, I have never been there. However, your father once introduced this night garden in his book."

Ruola snorted: "My dad's pile of books are already outdated, and you are the only one who still holds them as a treasure."

Wei En was very dissatisfied and said: "What do you know? Our ancestors said it well, a book has its own golden house, a book has its own thousand bells of millet, and a book has its own beauty like jade. How can a truly good book become outdated?"

As soon as Wei En said these words, everyone in the room fell silent. Everyone stared at Wei En, seeming to be thinking about the meaning of these words. Ruola frowned and said: "There is some truth in what he said, but did that ancestor say it?

How did I not hear it being said?"

Wei En scratched his head and reluctantly fumbled a few words, then spread his hands and said, "I forgot."

Everyone booed.

Vincent sat aside, looking at his brother, and suddenly thought in his heart: "Wei'en usually laughs and laughs, and looks like an ordinary person, but he often makes shocking remarks and comes up with some shocking ideas. I really don't know where he was.

What kind of family can cultivate such a child?"

While everyone was chatting, Mr. Traore appeared again: "Mrs. Xiao has an order, ordering Wei'en to bring the six-stringed harp to the Earl's Mansion. He will do it as ordered and make no mistakes."

Listening to Traore's rigid and cold voice, Wei En felt disgusted in his heart, stood up and asked: "What's the matter?"

Traore stared at Wei En: "How do I know? I am a soldier and I only obey orders."

Ruola sat next to her, curled her lips and said secretly: "Pretentious."

Wei En was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he took the piano and got into the carriage. Before leaving, Ruola and Carmen walked to the carriage window. Ruola whispered: "You have to be careful, these nobles are all moody."

Wei En smiled and said: "I understand, Miss, in the name of the Holy Spirit, the Virgin Mary and the Holy Son, how did I leave and how did I come back."

Ruola spat: "It's okay to survive, why are you swearing blindly?"

Carmen stood aside and hesitated to speak. The carriage rumbled forward, and her eyes followed the carriage until it disappeared at the end of the long street.

Ruola glanced at her and saw that she was still staring into the distance, so she stabbed her: "They are gone, so don't stay there in a daze."

Carmen's face turned red, and she turned around and walked towards the house. Ruola followed her with a smile, still smiling: "Don't walk so fast, be careful of slipping."

The blush on Carmen's face became even thicker, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What happened to me? I was at least twelve years old when I carried my father on my back and secretly ran to the river to watch Ruel take a bath."

Ruola was stunned for a moment, and a proud smile condensed on her face: "Ah, damn girl, how did you know? Don't run! If you still run, do you think I can spare you?"

The carriage drove into the earl's manor, Traore and Wei En got out of the car, and a pretty maid came up to them and asked: "But Mr. Traore and Wei En?"

Traore said with a smile on his face: "That's right, I brought Wei En."

The maid looked at Wei'en and said, "Mr. Traore, thank you for your help. You can go back first." Then she nodded to Wei'en and said, "Mr. Wei'en, please follow me." She turned and walked forward.

Traore said anxiously: "Miss Maid, Mrs. Xiao, can't you see me?"

The maid did not look back, but simply said: "Maybe next time."

Weien looked at Traore, who turned his head and stared at him with a very unfriendly look. Weien shrugged, followed the maid, and walked straight inside.

McLaren's manor occupies a small area, but it is extremely exquisitely constructed, with pavilions and pavilions scattered among red flowers and green grass. It is a quiet, luxurious and comfortable aristocratic manor.

Wei En carried the six-stringed harp on his back and followed the maid, lowering his head and keeping silent, as if he was thinking about something. The two of them shuttled among the flowers and green paths. After a while, they came to a house with blue bricks and red tiles, and they stopped

steps.

The maid glanced back at Wei En and whispered, "Be careful what you say later."

Wei En nodded in agreement, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. He felt indescribably awkward and disgusted with this kind of situation where superiority and inferiority were clearly distinguished.

The maid said in a clear voice to the room: "Madam, Mr. Wei'en is already here."

After a while, a soft voice came from the room: "Please come in."

p.s. It is not convenient to have Internet access in my hometown during the Spring Festival, so I have to come back and update after the holiday. I wish all readers a happy and happy Spring Festival.
