After four or five days of boring travel, Oren and the others finally arrived at Monte Town. When Oren saw the big willow tree at the entrance of the village taking out some buds, some childhood memories flashed through his mind from time to time.
The carriage drove slowly through the town of Monte. The residents of Monte Town were a little surprised when they saw the carriage driven by Oren and the others, because it was not the time for the caravan to arrive. They were all curious about the identity of Oren and the others, but they were not
He didn't come forward to ask, but just watched the carriage pass by slowly.
Monte Town has not changed much in the past few years since Oren left, only some residential buildings have been added.
Oren looked at these familiar and unfamiliar things, slowly passing by in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but recall his childhood. Although his childhood may not have very good material conditions, he lived a very fulfilling life.
The familiar things in front of me all bear the memory of my nostalgic childhood. At that time, I was innocent and carefree, always playing around with my playmates, and always doing some childish actions.
When the carriage approached the familiar yet unfamiliar home in his memory, Oren couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and expectant. He looked around uneasily. When Bert saw Oren's scene, he also understood Oren's mentality at this time, so
So she comforted him and said it to him.
"It's okay, just relax. Your parents have been doing well over the years. The things you often send to them by caravans are delivered to them in time. Don't you also occasionally receive them from them?"
Message?"
Oren said to Bert after hearing his comforting words.
"I'm fine, uncle. I'm just a little nervous after not seeing my parents for many years."
When Oren was in Bosaicheng, he often learned about his parents' situations through caravans and some of the messages they sent to him.
Except for a small portion of the commissions I earned when I was an apprentice in the blacksmith shop and the money distributed by the city lord's palace, I dragged the caravan home with me and gave the rest to my parents. I also know that my parents have lived a very stable life these years.
A moment later, when the familiar yet unfamiliar home in Oren's memory came into view, the tension and expectation in his heart reached its peak.
After Oren stopped the carriage, and when he and Bert walked home hesitantly, Old Art and his wife were not at home. Maybe the land was being taken care of at this time and they were preparing for this year's farming. This is also the case every day.
What a farmer has to do in this season, after all, it is related to their livelihood this year.
Oren looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar home, not much had changed, except that the house had been roughly repaired and some furniture had been added. There were also a few skewers of meat hanging under the eaves and some food piled up.
After seeing this, Oren slowly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his parents had lived a relatively stable life these years.
Oren and his wife planned to tidy up the house and prepare dinner to wait for the old Mr. and Mrs. Art.
They didn't bring anything from Bosaic City. After all, the purpose of coming this time was to take Old Yate and his wife to Bosaic City together, so there was no need.
…
It was approaching evening. After a busy day of life, the old Mr. and Mrs. Art were preparing to return home. Before they arrived home, they saw the door of their home open from a distance, and there was a carriage parked outside.
Both of them were a little nervous after seeing this, worried that some thieves might have broken into their home.
The two of them nervously held the farm tools in their hands and moved slowly towards the house. As soon as they walked into the house, they saw a man under the eaves collecting the grain that Old Art had piled there. Old Art saw this.
In one scene, he raised the farm tools in his hand with some anger and anger, and the man who appeared at his house shouted loudly.
"You abominable thief, get out of my house quickly, or I'll make you look good!"
Sisi on the side also tightly held the farm tools in his hands.
After Bert, who was packing his things, heard the sound, he turned around and saw that it was Old Art and the others, and said loudly to them in surprise.
"Brother, I'm Bert! I'm back."
And slowly walked towards them. Old Art and the others were a little surprised after hearing this sound. As Bert walked slowly over, after they saw clearly, they quickly dropped the farm tools in their hands and walked quickly.
He greeted me and said with some surprise.
"Burt, is that you? Why didn't you tell us in advance when you came back?"
Then the two brothers, who had not seen each other for many years, hugged each other tightly, while Sisi on the side saw this and just silently wiped his wet eyes.
At this time, Oren, who was cooking dinner in the room, quickly put down what he was doing and walked out quickly after hearing the noise outside.
When this wanderer who had not returned home for many years saw his parents, he saw their familiar figures, their slightly stooped figures, the wrinkles on their faces and the pale hair that covered more than half of their heads.
The longing and guilt in my heart over the years could no longer be hidden, and instantly turned into tears. I shouted loudly to them.
"Father, mother."
Over the years, Oren has been studying and training in the City Lord's Mansion, and has never had the opportunity to return to his hometown to visit his parents. He has always felt a lot of guilt towards his parents, but he has always kept it silently in his heart.
Old Yate and his wife turned around nervously after hearing the sound. When they saw the figure standing at the door, they recognized who it was at a glance. It was their son, the one who left them at the age of ten.
son.
Even though he had changed drastically over the years, they still recognized their son at a glance.
Sisi asked with some anxiety.
"Is it you? Oren! Is it really my little Oren?"
The longing for my son over the years also surged out, and I cried with excitement.
After hearing his mother's question, Oren quickly walked up and hugged her tightly when he saw the tears in her eyes and answered.
"It's me, mother! Your little Oren is back."
Sisi just turned his longing for these years into tears, while Old Art and Bert beside him also had wet eyes.
After hugging his mother, Oren pulled his mother to Old Art and spoke to him in a choked voice.
"I'm back, father!"
Sisi on the side held Oulun tightly, fearing that his son would suddenly leave him again.
When Old Art saw this son who had been away for many years, he looked at his strong body and just patted Oren's hand heavily a few times and said to him in a trembling voice.
"Just come back! Just come back!"
…
Bert's eyes were slightly red when he looked at the family he had not seen for many years. Looking at the tired bodies of his elder brother and sister-in-law, he hurriedly said to the three of them.
"Come in, brothers and sisters, it's cold outside, but it's warm inside."
After hearing this, Oren also hurriedly said to the old Yatou couple.
"Let's go inside first, mom and dad, it's a little cold outside."
At this time, the cold winter has not passed for long, and you will still feel a little cold outside in the evening. Lao Ya also answered after hearing this.
"Okay, okay, let's go in and talk."
Sisi just held Oren's hand tightly and said nothing.
…
Oren spent a few days with his parents at home, wanting to make up for the longing and guilt he had felt over the years, and not wanting to leave any regrets after he was about to leave.
Immediately, they took their parents and left Monte Town. They left the hometown where they had lived for many years.
Oren, who returned to Bosai City, also spent a few days with his parents, getting them familiar with Bosai City and telling them about his experiences in Bosai City over the years.
As the holidays slowly passed, Oren had to leave his parents and return to the city lord where he had lived for five years. Oren did not mention to his parents that he was going to participate in the war. He did not want them to worry, so he just asked them casually.
He returned to the city lord's mansion for a reason.
Oren didn't know what was waiting for him soon. In addition to his reluctance for his parents, there was also an unknown throbbing in his heart. He believed that this was the beginning of his ambition.
The day after Oren returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Gelie and others also returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
They all gathered together to discuss what would happen next and make some preparations and plans. The next day, when they came to the square, Mr. Puton was already waiting here. After seeing them, Mr. Puton
He said slowly.
"Very good, you didn't disappoint me. I thought some of you might not come back."
Everyone who heard this said nothing, but looked at Mr. Purton closely. Mr. Purton then said to them.
"It's just as the Baron said. War is coming!"
"My Lord Baron got the news a few days ago that the Kingdom of Us has officially declared war on our Kingdom of Frant. It's not just to compete for the large iron mine that was just discovered. That's just an excuse."
In the past, the national strength of our two countries was about the same. But as the Kingdom of Us has become stronger and stronger over the years, their ambition to expand their territory has also gradually become stronger."
"But we, the Farland Kingdom, are not easy to mess with. Since they dare to come, we dare to go."
"The borders between the Kingdom of Us and our Kingdom of Farante are in the north and west. According to the news received by the Baron, they also sent two large corps this time, respectively from the north and west of our Kingdom of Farante.
Attacking from all sides is also where the two countries border."
At this time, the large corps of the two countries have not yet arrived at the front line, but the small teams of the two countries are already fighting. Soon we will also go to the battlefield. We are going to the north of our Kingdom of Frant because it is closer to us.
, you can reach the battlefield faster."
Mr. Purton looked at the five people who were a little nervous, and then said.
"War is the best opportunity to make achievements. But it is also the greatest evil. I don't know how many people have been promoted to officials because of it, and I don't know how many people have been separated from their families because of it.
In this war, I don't know how many of you will stay there forever, but I hope to see you making great achievements when I come back, and I hope that you will all become knights by then.
It will take some time to recruit soldiers, and I hope you will prepare well during this period so that you can survive on the battlefield. Okay, you can continue training!"
After Mr. Purton spoke to everyone, he stared at everyone carefully and said slowly.
"Finally! I'll treat you to a drink after the war! It's something I've treasured for a long time. Those who stay there, don't blame me for drinking it all!"
