Volume 1 Forest Knight Chapter 81 The Rogue's Apprentice
Seeing Balian's affectionate expression of approval for him, he was encouraged and continued: "Furthermore, the reason why I stole things this time was not to steal property, but to share the blessings given to you by the God of Fire.
My mother has been ill for some time. Although she has been able to get out of bed and move around in the past two months, she is still very weak. I want her to get better quickly, but the pharmacists are unreliable, and the priests in the city are also unreliable.
Not willing to help the poor.
And Lord Balian, you are the winner of the trial by combat. The will of the God of Fire is expressed to everyone through you. You have the great blessing of the God of Fire, and these ornaments on your body are also blessed by the God of Fire.
So I thought of stealing something from you and letting my mother wear it. With the blessing of the God of Fire, her health will definitely get better soon."
Although Huck's motives are foolish, he has to admit that he is a good and filial boy.
After hearing this, Balian was still very moved. He patted Huck on the shoulder and said, "You want your mother to recover as soon as possible. This is a good thing. Just tell me. I'm not unreasonable.
There is no loving person.”
Huck looked at Balian with gratitude and said excitedly: "Then, sir, you can let me take your pendant back and let my mother wear it for a while."
After hearing this, Balian shook his head, "This golden eagle pendant was made for me by my mother when I was sent to the city of Valombre to be a knight's attendant. After my father took me to Valombre,
When we were in the city, my mother gave me this pendant based on our family crest and hung it on my little belt with her own hands.
To this day, I still clearly remember that when I hung this pendant for me, my mother told me that the child is my mother’s heart and soul, and no matter how far away I am from her, she will miss me and pray to the God of Fire for me every day.
To keep me healthy and happy.
My mother also asked me to hang this golden eagle on my body every day. With it, my mother can sense me, and the blessing she prayed for from the God of Fire will continue to accompany me.
Huck, you are loved by your mother and you also love your own mother. Tell me, can I give you such a thing?"
After hearing this, Huck shook his head. With tears in his eyes, he told Balian guiltily: "My lord, I'm sorry. If I had known, I would never have stolen it. Please forgive me for the crime I committed out of my heart."
mistake."
As he said this, he wanted to salute Balian again to express his apology. Balian quickly stretched out his hand to hold him and said with a smile: "By the way, I have another question to ask you. That is, I am very curious about your young age.
, the level of stealing is quite high. Logically speaking, your mother will never let you become a thief."
Hearing Balian's question, Huck blushed, and he said sheepishly: "Of course my mother won't let me be a thief. If she knew that I was a thief, she would definitely not want to talk to me anymore.
After she became ill and was unable to earn money by working in the tavern, she told me that she would rather eat the leftover food I packed from the tavern every day than watch me become a thief or even a robber.
Once, I stole two silver coins from a guest in the tavern and bought a roast rabbit and a can of milk. I told my mother that I bought them with the money I found on the ground, but she didn't believe it and she refused.
Eat things bought with dirty money.
After that, I never stole from others, but worked hard to earn money by myself, and collected some clean food in the tavern, so I lived a hard life."
"Your mother is a respectable woman." Drew said with emotion.
Balian also nodded with deep approval, and he continued to ask: "You haven't answered my question yet, how did you practice this superb stealing skill? And in front of the fence gate in the alley, you were dressed in
The jumping and jumping skills are pretty good, who taught you that?"
Seeing Balian insisting on asking, Huck bit his lip, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Lord Balian, I can't tell you the name of my master. This is what I promised him and swore to me.
I cannot break my promise. But I can tell you how I met him and how he taught me this kung fu."
"Okay! Okay! I want to hear it." Bran looked like a child who wanted to hear a story, looking eager to know.
Balian patted Bran's little head lightly and said, "You guy, stop interrupting and just listen."
Bran touched his head, smiled, and brought two stools from the side, letting Balian and Huck sit down. Then he and Drew stood quietly beside Balian.
"Lord Balian, although my master is a thief, he is also a grand thief. He taught me for three years. During these three years, I also went with him to steal the money of some wealthy merchants and nobles.
But every time after stealing, except for a small amount left for ourselves, my master would pack up the money and throw it to the homes of poor people like us living in the slums. Sometimes he would also donate it to the orphanage under Yang Weixuo Church.
monastery.
My father was an alcoholic and passed away when I could remember. But after meeting Master, I found the feeling of having a father. Those three years were very happy days for me, although Master was not training me at all.
He is merciless, but he really loves me." Huck said about his master with a happy smile on his face.
"Then is your master still in Yangweixiao City?" Balian asked.
Huck shook his head and replied: "One day two years ago, Master told me that he was going on a far journey. It might take a long time to come back, and it was very likely that he would never come back. That day he told me that if
It's been two years, and he hasn't come back yet, so he asked me to buy a roast rabbit, take a pot of Sarion wine, and throw it into the bay of Janviksho."
"Ah! Why is this?" Balian asked in surprise.
"Because if he hasn't come back in two years, it proves that his plan failed, he should also be killed, and the wine and roast rabbit will be thrown into the sea as a memorial to him." Huck said.
Balian touched his chin. He felt that Huck's master was really a strange person. If there was a chance to get to know him, Balian would be willing to become friends with such a person.
Thinking of this, Balian asked Huck: "Huck, do you think your master is still alive?"
"Uh..." Huck lowered his head, looking dejected.
Suddenly, he raised his head again, looked at Balian firmly, and said, "I believe he is still alive. A person as powerful as him will definitely not be killed casually."
Balian stood up, came to Huck, patted his back and said: "I also believe that a kind, honest, and capable person will not be killed easily, the great Vulcan
I will protect him."
Hearing what Balian said, Huck smiled gratefully at Balian, as a way of expressing his gratitude for Balian's blessing to his master.
"It's getting late now. You should go home. You can't let your sick mother stay home alone for too long." As he spoke, Balian took out his wallet and counted ten coins from it.
The silver coin came out and was handed to Huck.
When Huck saw Balian giving him the money, he quickly waved his hand and refused, "Lord Balian, you forgive me for my despicable behavior. It is already a great kindness to me. How can I ask for your money? Besides, I
If I go back with these silver coins, my mother will think that I stole something outside and she will be unhappy."
"Hahaha!" Bellian laughed, forced the money into his hand, then took off the tripod from his neck, handed it to Huck, and then said: "Just tell your mother, you
I met Sir Balian at the tourney, the champion of the trial by combat. Your request moved him, and Sir Balian rewarded you."
Looking at Huck who was staying where he was, Balian smiled and patted his shoulder, "Hurry up and buy some good food and drink, take it back to honor your mother, we will meet again by fate." After that, Balian and Bran
And Drew, turned around and left. After all, Balian's dance still needs to be mastered. At the moment, he is just familiar with it, and there is still a long way to go before he can dance the whole banquet skillfully.
After returning to their residence, Balian and Drew took a short break and started practicing dancing again. Balian also practiced with Drew all day the next day. On the morning of the banquet, Balian had already mastered it. After all, in this era,
The dance steps are not difficult either. The main thing is to switch back and forth between a few movements. When the time comes, he only has to dance with his partner.
And dancing is only a part of the banquet. Although it is important, it is not the most important. Besides, even if Balian dances not well, no one will say anything, because his martial arts skills in defeating Sir Thorg are not available here.
They would foolishly ask for a knight with strong martial arts skills who can not only mount a horse to win a battle, but also be able to dismount and perform gorgeous dance moves.
After dancing all morning, he sweated a lot. In the afternoon, Balian washed himself with soap, shaved, and cleaned himself up. Balian raised his arms and smelled his skin.
, it feels okay, and it smells pretty good.
Then Balian put on the clothes that Jesse made for him, and took a look in the bronze mirror. He was very satisfied with how he looked now. He was young, handsome, handsome, and had a tough guy spirit. This was perfect.
He's a male god.
Just when Balion was looking pretty in the mirror, Bran came in. He saw Balion staring in the mirror in a daze, and he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Master, have you seen the goblin? Why are you staring blankly in the mirror?"
"
Balian, who was thinking that he was a male god, lost his narcissistic mood when he heard the word "goblin", and for a moment he almost lost his temper.
He glared at Bran fiercely and cursed: "You little brat, I was just admiring my beauty in my prime, and you came here to destroy me. Get out of here quickly and lead the horse."
come out."
After reprimanding Bran, Balian looked at the mirror again. Although he still looked the same as before, after hearing Brand's "goblin" words, Balian could no longer think of himself as a handsome man with great beauty.
.
Count Grie's residence is located on a high ground in the west of the city of Janvicsuo. From the residence of Count Geli, you can overlook the Bay of Janvicsuo.
When Balian entered the Earl of Gerry's Mansion with the invitation and Bran, the sun was setting. Standing in the Earl's Mansion, he looked at the sea in the distance. A red sun was moving towards the horizon. The sun fell on the sea and was disturbed by the waves.
Broken into golden floating shadows.
Looking up, the seabirds flying on the sea, as well as the cargo ships and fishing boats rushing to the dock outside Yangweixuo City under the setting sun, have an indescribable and magnificent beauty.
After admiring the sea and embracing the sunset for a while, Balian took Bran with him, and Bran took the gift. The two of them formally entered the banquet hall. At this time, there were already many guests in the banquet hall, these men and women in gorgeous clothes.
They were chatting and laughing in small groups holding wine glasses.
On the dance floor in the middle of the banquet hall, a music band was already sitting there, playing some soothing music to soothe the people waiting for the banquet to start. At the same time, there were also two or three pairs of young men and women already on the dance floor.
Stepping on this soothing beat, I jumped up first.
