Oren is practicing chopping in the square wearing armor and holding a medium. This is his daily routine. He will spend an hour every day practicing the use of weapons and some skills.
Mr. Purton is also practicing beside them. Although he has nothing to teach Oren and the others now, there is no doubt that Mr. Purton must have much more experience than them, so he is also practicing beside them.
Point them.
Mr. Purton did not teach them any particularly powerful martial arts skills in the past five years. He only asked them to constantly break through themselves and make themselves faster and stronger.
While practicing, I couldn't help but think of what Mr. Purton once said to them.
"I won't teach you any gorgeous weapons. In my opinion, those things don't have much effect. On the battlefield, you just need to be faster and stronger than your enemy, and cooperate with your skilled opponent.
With experience, you will have a greater certainty and chance of survival than your enemies. So what I have to do is let you continue to break through yourself again and again."
Although Mr. Purton did not teach Oren any powerful martial arts skills, they have been practicing one-on-one with Mr. Purton every day for the past five years. The five of them also usually practice by themselves. Except for the beginning
At that time, they used wooden swords, but later they gradually used iron swords for sparring.
However, both of them are wearing armor, so it won't cause much fatal damage. It will only cause pain for several days, but the pain here is much better than dying on the battlefield.
At this time, I saw a man running over in a hurry, saying a few words in Mr. Purton's ear, and then hurried away again.
Mr. Purton's face changed slightly after hearing what the man said, and then he said to everyone.
"You guys practice first, the Baron has something to do with me."
Then they hurriedly walked to Baron Filler's usual office. Oren and the others were a little confused after seeing this. They had never seen Mr. Purton like this! Mr. Purton was always calm.
No matter what happened, he always looked very calm. What happened? That made him change like this.
After Oren and the others looked at each other, they practiced again, believing that Mr. Purton would give them the answer.
Sure enough, not long after, Mr. Purton appeared in the square again and spoke formally to the five people.
"Come here and gather. Just now, Lord Baron asked me to come over and talk about something, which may be related to the fate of each of us.
A large iron mine has been discovered in the north of our Kingdom of Frant. What does this mean? I believe you all know it. This iron mine has also been discovered in the Kingdom of Us to the north of us.
The Kingdom of Us and our Kingdom of Farante have had a long-standing feud, maybe you don’t know that.
Our two countries have been in constant conflict due to territorial issues. The two sides often have some frictions, large and small, so the two countries are quite hostile to each other. Therefore, this large-scale iron mine discovered this time is likely to become a
A fuse that eventually led to the outbreak of war between the two countries.
The Baron just came to talk to me about this matter. The Baron said that war may be coming soon. He has already smelled the smoke, so let us prepare in advance.
Once a war breaks out, all the knights in Bossai City, including you! will follow the Baron to the battlefield. Of course, this is also a great opportunity for many people to make contributions. It may not be impossible for the kingdom to add a few knights in the end.
In order to prepare for the war that may break out in the near future, the Baron has specially given you a long vacation this time, so that you can go back and spend time with your family.
The City Lord's Mansion has trained you for so many years so that the entire Bose leader will not be tied up at this moment. We also hope that you will all make great achievements in the end.
In order for you to have no worries in the upcoming war, Lord Baron has specially prepared a settlement fee of ten gold coins for each of you. I also hope that you will not let down Lord Baron for his painstaking efforts and the training of the City Lord's Mansion over the years.
.
The Baron has granted permission for you to go home for a month this time and spend time with your parents and family at home. You should go back and tidy up first! I will have the settlement money sent to you later, so go!"
As Mr. Purton finished speaking, everyone fell silent and no longer wanted to talk to each other. They just went back to their rooms and packed up silently. After a while, a man came to Oren with a bag.
The room said to him.
"Sir Oren, this is your settlement fee."
After Oren took it, he casually looked at it. As expected, there were ten gold coins inside. When the man saw this, he walked out without saying anything. Not long after, everyone came to the square again, and everyone had their hands in the square.
Carrying some large and small parcels.
The five of them had no intention of talking at this moment. They just walked out of the city lord's mansion silently and walked towards their destination.
When Oren returned to Uncle Bert's house, Uncle Bert was still working in the blacksmith shop and did not come back. Oren was thinking alone in the room. After a while, he went to the market to buy some things and prepared to cook some food for Uncle Bert.
Uncle Te.
Before Bert walked into the house at night, he knew that Oren had come back. As he walked into the room, he saw a table full of dishes and Oren waiting next to him. He couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"You're back, Oren."
Aolun also hurriedly replied after hearing this.
"I'm back, uncle, let's eat quickly!"
After eating, the two sat by the fire again to keep warm. Winter had just passed and it was still a little cold.
Looking at the somewhat silent Oren Bert, he was a little confused. When Oren came back several times before, he enthusiastically shared with him what had happened to Oren during this time, but this time he remained silent and did not speak. Seeing this, Bert
He asked quickly.
"Oren, what happened?"
After hearing his uncle's inquiry, Oren told his uncle what he knew in the city lord's mansion today. Bert was also a little silent after listening, and then the two of them fell into thinking. After a while, Oren
Said to Bert.
"Uncle, I want to go back to Monte Town and bring my parents here, so that I can feel more at ease."
Bert nodded and said after hearing this.
"That's okay. I'll go with you, so you can take care of me. Besides, I haven't seen your parents for a long time."
Oren then took out the bag containing ten gold coins given by the city lord's mansion today and said to Bert.
"Uncle! What's in this bag is the settlement fee given by the city lord's palace. There are ten gold coins in total. I want to give five to my parents and leave the remaining five to you."
After hearing this, Bert said to Oren angrily.
"Who do you think I am? And I don't want you to pay me any less."
After hearing this, Oren also hurriedly explained to Bert.
"It's not what you think, uncle! If I go to the battlefield this time, I don't know if I can come back alive. If I come back, that would be the best! If I can't come back, then my parents may really
I have to ask you, uncle."
After hearing this, Bert said to Oren angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You will definitely come back. And even if you don't say it, she is my brother and sister-in-law, and I will definitely take care of them."
After hearing this, Oren handed the bag containing gold coins to Bert and said.
"Uncle! This is to give you all some security. If a war breaks out soon! Prices in all aspects will definitely increase a lot by then, and I also hope that my parents and you can live a richer life. And you
Don't worry, there will definitely be military noise in the military camp when the time comes."
After hearing this, Bert finally agreed to take the bag from Oran's hand. He told Oran seriously.
"Promise me! You must come back. Your parents and I are waiting for you in Bosai City."
After hearing this, Oren's eyes were a little moist, and then he assured Bert.
"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely come back alive."
…
After breakfast that day, Oren and Bert came to the horse market and spent a few silver coins to buy a carriage. After all, it would take several days for them to return to Monte Town, and they would also have to bring Oren to the horse market.
Lun's parents took it over and might have some luggage. So it was very necessary to buy a carriage.
However, the horses used in the carriage Oren and the others purchased were of the lowest quality, otherwise they would not have spent a few silver coins.
A high-quality horse is much more expensive than this gold, but Oren and the others are just traveling, so there is no need to buy a high-quality horse.
After the two returned home and tidied up, they drove the carriage slowly out of Bossay City and walked slowly towards the town of Monte.
In the past, caravans traveling between villages and towns had to be organized for a long time and had to be accompanied by several guards. After all, they might be attacked by wild beasts in those remote places.
But for Oren and the others, this is not necessary at all. For Oren, these beasts are really nothing to be afraid of, only some monsters can make him feel nervous.
The two took turns driving the carriage slowly, but Oren was driving most of the time. After all, he was young and energetic, and he didn't want to overwork his uncle, so he only let his uncle drive occasionally.
Sitting on the carriage, watching the things on both sides move slowly backward, Oren couldn't help but think of the scene when Uncle Bert brought him out of Monte Town. It is still vivid in his mind.
Then he thought of his parents who were far away in Monte Town. He had not seen them for five years and only occasionally conveyed his thoughts and sustenance to each other through caravans.
This also made Oren miss his parents at home even more, and thinking that he would see his parents soon, Oren couldn't help but feel a little excited and uneasy.
Recalling all the things that happened when I was with my parents when I was a child, I just feel that the journey these days has been so long.
