On this day, when Oren walked into the school, he found that his classmates seemed to be discussing something fiercely, which made him a little confused. Then he quickly walked towards his friend Ange, trying to figure out what happened.
They are so excited.
"What happened, Ange."
Oren asked Ange, who was having a heated discussion with his classmates. Ange turned around and saw Oren answering hurriedly.
"You're here, Oren, don't you know what happened?"
Ange was a little confused, after all, everyone in the entire Bosai City knew about this.
"You tell me what happened, what do you know?"
Oren was a little confused.
"Oh, that's it. Yesterday, the city lord's palace sent out a message to select some suitable young people in the entire Bosai City to serve as knight attendants. As long as they are selected, they can enter the city lord's palace and be trained. In the future, they may have the opportunity to become
Where is the knight?"
"Are you going to try it? Oren."
Then Ange asked.
"I don't know. I have to think about it and go back and ask my uncle."
Oren answered somewhat uncertainly.
"What else should I consider? He is a knight. If you miss it, you may not have the chance. It would be great if I can be chosen. My requirements are not high. Not to mention knights, I will be a knight's squire.
Now that I'm satisfied, let's go together when the time comes, Ornn. It'll be nice to have company."
Ange said hurriedly.
"Let me think about it! I have to go back and ask my uncle for his opinion. Anyway, it's still early, so we'll talk about it then!"
Oren answered somewhat hesitantly.
"Okay, then go ahead and ask! There's still time."
After that, Ange ignored Oren and continued to discuss his dream of knighthood with others.
Oren sat alone in his seat and thought quietly, thoughts in his heart kept flying.
Oren is not only not unfamiliar with the word knight, but is very familiar with it. Over the past year, he has been studying continuously and borrowed a large number of books from Mr. Stray. Mr. Stray also told him a lot of unknown knowledge.
It not only enriched himself, but also gave Ornn a lot of understanding of the world.
Knights are one of them. Knights are the name of a group of people who are above ordinary people and have extraordinary power. Not only do they have greater physical strength than ordinary people, but they also have some inhuman means, and their status is also higher than that of many people.
This also makes many people flock to them, thinking about following them, hoping that one day they can become them, not only possess extraordinary power, but also have a coveted status, so the Knight Squire was born. But the path of a knight is
The twists and turns may cause you to lose the most precious thing at any time - your life.
Oren also knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might regret it for the rest of his life. This opportunity to completely change his destiny, the strong desire in his heart was constantly urging him, but he was not just a ten-year-old child.
Through this year of study, not only has his body grown, but his mind has also become much more mature than his peers.
Mr. Stray told him a lot about the outside world, and those wonderful stories deeply attracted him and gave him unlimited yearning.
But he is just a farmer's son. He not only thinks about himself, but also thinks about his parents in his hometown. These are all things he needs to worry about. So he wants to go back and see if he can convince Uncle Bert. After all, Uncle Bert is
Apart from his parents, who was the best person to him, he didn't want to miss this opportunity to completely change his destiny.
…
In the evening, after dinner, the uncle and nephew sat by the fire. Oren thought of what happened in school today. Oren didn't want to miss this opportunity, but he was really undecided and hesitant in his heart. He didn't know whether to
I mentioned this matter to my uncle, so I seemed silent.
Bert saw from the side that there was something on Oren's mind. Oren was usually not as silent as he was today. Normally, no matter what happened, he would mention it to him and ask for his opinion. He saw Oren's hesitation.
He decided that he had to speak first and asked Aoun.
"What happened, Oren? If you have anything, you must tell your uncle. You can't keep it to yourself."
Oren was still a little hesitant after listening to his uncle's words. After thinking about it, he decided to mention the matter to his uncle. He didn't want to miss this opportunity even if he didn't succeed in the end.
"Uncle, do you know what happened in Bosai City today?"
"Oh, are you talking about the city lord's palace selecting knights and attendants? What, do you want to give it a try?"
Of course Bert knew what happened in Bossai City today, but he didn't expect that his nephew would also be a little concerned about the news.
"I don't know, uncle."
Facing Bert's question, Oren was a little undecided.
Bert seemed to see Oren's thoughts and said to him.
"If you want to give it a try, just go. It's okay. I will support you. You don't have to worry about your parents. I will take care of it. Oren! Just do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't violate
Just be in your own heart and don't care about other people's thoughts and opinions. Life is your own and you have the full right to decide what you want to do. You don't have to care about others, even me."
"Really? Uncle, I thought you wouldn't let me go!"
Oren was a little moved after hearing Bert's words, and he became even more determined.
"A person's life requires constant struggle. Oren! It seems that I haven't told you about my past. When I was a teenager, I left my hometown and followed a caravan to Bossai City. At that time, I was
He was a country boy who didn't know anything, didn't understand anything, and made a lot of jokes. It's still funny when I think about it now.
However, I have never complained or given up. It is with this unyielding spirit and constant struggle that I can stand firm in Bossai City today. If you want to give it a try, go ahead, even if you fail.
It’s nothing, you know! Aoun.”
"I know, uncle, then I'll try it! I just don't know if it can work."
Oren heard Bert's story and admired this uncle very much. At the same time, he was still a little uneasy, not knowing whether he could be selected.
"Believe in yourself, it doesn't matter even if you can't succeed. If you can't succeed, keep coming back and working here. When I came to Bossai City and heard that knights and attendants were to be selected, I also tried, but I was not selected, but I
I’m living very well now.”
Oren was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Bert had tried this before.
"Really? Uncle, then why weren't you chosen?"
"I don't know, maybe I don't have the qualifications."
Bert felt a little regretful, but also a little lucky. Only one of the people who were selected has become a knight now, and the bodies of the others may not be found. Then he asked Oren seriously.
"Have you really thought about it? Oren. If you are selected, you must understand that the road of knighthood is difficult, and you may lose your own life at any time. You must think carefully."
"Uncle, I have thought carefully about it. Just like you said, life requires continuous struggle. I don't want to miss this opportunity. I want to see the heights of this world. I don't want to regret it when I get old, even if I lose my life.
"
Bert didn't even expect that his nephew had such great ambition and determination. He was a little relieved and a little worried, fearing that Oren would lose the most precious thing, but then he was a little relieved. Just like what he just said, life is his own.
You can do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't go against your heart. Then he said to Oren.
"Then go ahead. If you are not selected, come back. If you are selected, go and fight hard and follow your own heart. Don't worry about your parents. I will arrange it. Just do whatever you want.
matter."
Oren was very moved when he heard what his uncle said. He recalled in detail that his uncle brought him here all the way from his hometown, gave him food and clothing, and gave him the opportunity to study and work. He regarded himself as his own son and returned him to this place.
Letting myself have no worries, tears were streaming down my face before I knew it, and I couldn't help but swallow harder and said to Bert.
"Thank you, uncle, for always being so kind to me, for giving me so many opportunities to try and for teaching me so many principles of life."
Bert was a little caught off guard when he saw Oren's tears, but he was also a little relieved. He looked at Oren and said sincerely.
"Silly boy, stop crying. You are my nephew. If it is not good for you, who will be good for you? Wipe away your tears and go to bed! I have to go to school tomorrow."
"Yeah, I understand, uncle."
Then Oren wiped away his tears and slowly walked to his room. Bert's eyes were a little moist when he saw Oren going to rest, but he just looked at the burning stove silently... This chapter has been completed!
