The convoy traveled for a day. Obviously, this new female knight attracted special attention from her colleagues. Of course, this was not just because she was the only woman among the people walking in the sky, but because this woman
The relationship between the knight and his little master.
Last night, she walked out of the little master's room. And overnight, she came to the door to swear allegiance.
And this kind of attention actually contains a layer of... a little bit of jealousy.
Yes, it's jealousy.
Because, this woman actually won the title of real "Knight"!
It must be pointed out that the so-called "guardian knight" of the family is not actually considered a real knight. The family guardian knight is actually just a title, a title with the name "knight". Just like Kaiba, although the name
It also has the character for horse, but no one really thinks that seahorse and horse are the same thing.
In a sense, they can only be regarded as a group of "cavalry". They are a group of guard cavalry. They are not a knight class in the true sense. Suddenly, a woman whom I had only known for a day, a woman with third-rate martial arts skills, suddenly became a knight.
Getting what these men dream of makes them jealous.
Being sent to a remote area with this useless little master is unfortunate enough. Their only pursuit is to hope that one day this master will suddenly favor them and recruit them from a cavalry guard to an honorary knight - that is, only
I pursued this idea.
Everyone knows that it is impossible for this young master to obtain the right to inherit the title of earl. In the future, he will be a baron at most, and the baron is only given the authority by law to recruit ten knights... Now, in just one day, he was killed by an unknown person.
An unknown woman has taken up a precious spot! This is enough to make these people feel a little unbalanced.
The most reasonable explanation is that the thirteen-year-old master probably doesn't know what a "knight" is. He simply treats this precious thing as a child's game and gives it away to others at will!
And, more importantly... who told that girl to be beautiful and have a pair of plump and beautiful thighs?
Accept your fate!
Ruolin has already felt the disapproving looks from the new colleagues around her. It seems that even her two original companions don't understand. But Ruolin still decides to believe in her own eyes!
This new master, this young master named Du Wei, will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future! Choosing to be loyal to him will not be a wrong decision!
When the evening glow filled the sky again, Du Wei's motorcade had just crossed a large river. The bridge built with round boulders had a history of nearly a hundred years. The stones near the river were covered with green moss, which reflected the clear flowing water.
A beautiful emerald color.
The name of this big river is exactly "Emerald River". Of course, it also has a more official name:
Rollin River!
This river is named after the Luo Lin family.
The Luolin River crosses the southern province of Cote, dividing the rich southern province of Cote into two parts. With this river as the boundary line, as long as you cross this river, you have already embarked on the journey of the Luolin family.
The family territory is over! Half of the Kote province south of the river belongs to the Luo Lin family!
The south bank of the river is a flat plain. Considering the hilly terrain in the south, this plain is quite large. There are fertile land, green forests, farms everywhere, and a warm climate.
, plenty of sunshine and appropriate rain.
This is one of the most fertile lands in the empire, and it is also an important location for the empire's food production. This plain is exactly half the size of the province of Cote, and it also has an official name... Luolin Plain!
Yes, this is also named after the Luo Lin family.
This peculiar naming method began about two hundred years ago.
Two hundred years ago, the Roland Empire experienced a great Patriotic War. According to historical records, the foreign tribes located in the north of the continent invaded from the south, dragging the entire Roland Empire into the quagmire of war. There were also rebellions within the declining empire.
happened, the empire was once on the verge of collapse.
During the war, a group of outstanding figures emerged, including a general from the Luo Lin family. The general later accumulated many achievements and eventually became a marshal of the empire (this was also the Luo Lin family's more than 300 years of experience).
The only imperial marshal in history.). And it is worth mentioning that in order to win over this illustrious marshal, the emperor married his sister to him.
Just before going out for an important decisive battle, in order to encourage his brother-in-law to bravely fight the enemy, His Majesty the Emperor pointed his riding whip at the south bank of the Emerald River and announced:
"If you come back victorious, then from now on, with this river as the boundary, I will reward you with all the land in the south of Cote Province! And, from now on, the river here and this plain will be changed to the name of your family! So
This is to demonstrate the extraordinaryness of the Luo Lin family and their outstanding contributions to the empire!"
Such encouragement inspired the marshal's courage. He commanded the decisive battle brilliantly, and finally won the war and saved the empire's national destiny! At the same time, he also won the agreement with the emperor!
After that, the Emerald River was renamed Luolin River! And the plain in the south was also renamed Luolin Plain - two hundred years have passed, and now people have even forgotten what this plain was called before.
Got it!
Because, in all the imperial official documents and local registers, "Luolin River" and "Luolin Plain" are clearly written.
Although two hundred years have passed, as a member of the Luo Lin family, even these low-level escort cavalry could not help but feel excited when they crossed the river and set foot on this plain land!
This is a sense of belonging and honor to the family!
Look! This is the place where the Luo Lin family lives! It is the place where the great ancestors of the Luo Lin family carved their names! Here, the great Luo Lin family carved their names in the history of the empire! It is also engraved on this land.
!
Du Wei, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that the carriage had slowed down, and there were strange movements coming from outside. Du Wei opened the window and saw that the knights in front couldn't help but take off their hats and cheer, their faces
After sweeping away the decadent look on the road in recent days, everyone's face exudes joy and glory from the heart! And... worship!
"Go home! The Luolin people have gone home! Back to our own land!"
These cavalrymen cheered, and some even forgot about discipline and galloped back and forth. Even though the horses' hooves trampled happily on the black soil, even their commanders had no intention of restraining these excited subordinates at this moment, but sat down.
Watch it all with a smile on your horse!
Unlike other families in the empire, the Luo Lin family has maintained a very ancient tradition! That is: the knights and warriors in the family only recruit people from the family territory!
Quite a number of the cavalry guards who came back with Du Wei were born in the Luolin Plain! They are the real people of the Luolin family, people who have lived here for several generations!
According to the traditional practice, the Luo Lin family's private soldiers in the territory, as well as the family's cavalry guards, and even the family head's personal soldiers, and every bodyguard, try to select "one's own family" from the Luo Lin Plain! Because everyone
Every head of the family believes that this approach can ensure the loyalty of his subordinates and the centripetal force towards the family! For example, the current head of the family, the Earl, is the chief of guard, and the second young master Gabri’s enlightenment martial arts teacher, Alpha Swordsman, is an authentic
Taoist people born in Luolin Plain.
Although these escort cavalry who accompanied Du Wei and were sent out of the imperial capital were unhappy because they were driven out of the empire, fortunately, at this moment, the joy of returning home finally diluted their inner depression.
Du Wei sat in the carriage and looked at the cavalrymen who were riding their horses and shouting happily. He pondered for a moment and immediately understood the reason. Then he smiled and said: "Mader, have we already crossed the Luolin River?"
"Yes, my master." Mad immediately rode up to the car, with a hint of joy on his face: "We are home."
Du Wei glanced at Mu De: "Oh, Mu De, tell me, are you also born in the Cote Province?"
"Yes. Although I grew up in the imperial capital, my father is a native of the Luo Lin family." Ma De also raised a smile: "My father worked as a groom in the Luo Lin family all his life, and I inherited
his job."
After a pause, Mader glanced at the little master carefully, lowered his voice and said: "My master, I need to remind you of something... um..."
"What?"
"What you just said and what you said may be a little inappropriate." Mad's face showed a rare seriousness!
"What's wrong?" Du Wei smiled and said, "You can point out my mistakes."
"You just asked me if I was born in the 'Cote Province'. Such a statement is a bit inappropriate." Mader looked at the master's expression and said cautiously: "Although Luo Lin Plain is in the Cote Province.
However, when a real member of the Luo Lin family mentions his place of origin, we will never say such words as "I am from the province of Cote"! When a real member of the Luo Lin family mentions his birthplace,
Everyone in the world will only say, "I am from Luolin Plains!". A true citizen of the Luolin family will be proud and proud of his identity as a Luolin person from the bottom of his heart! My master, so
...When you face other people of the Luolin family in the future, please never say 'people from the province of Cote', please be sure to call them 'people from the Luolin plains'! Otherwise, the other party is likely to be
I feel hurt by your words. Moreover...you are still the eldest son of the family patriarch, so you cannot hurt the feelings of the people of the family with your words."
Seeing how the former groom could say such words with such pride, even Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
Maybe... I really underestimated this family.
Looking at those cheerful cavalry, looking at the heartfelt pride on each of their faces... Only a truly great family can do this.
So, in this case, the Earl who was in the imperial capital saw that the eldest son for whom he had high hopes turned out to be an idiot. The Earl, who was responsible for the family's responsibility, and the father who was responsible for inheriting the family's glory, felt deeply in his heart.
The disappointment and anxiety are understandable.
Although he didn't agree with his father's cold treatment of him in the past, at this moment, Du Wei suddenly understood the count's mood from the depths of his heart!
As a father, he may be able to tolerate his son being a waste! However, as the leader of the family, he absolutely cannot tolerate the family heir who has high hopes being a waste! Because he must be responsible for the future of such a great family.
responsibility!
From this point of view, his decisive abandonment of himself and his indifference to him are all excusable.
At this moment, Du Wei lost his mind.
Looking at the blank expression on the little master's face, Mader was a little surprised. Because since he became Du Wei's personal servant, what he has seen is that this little master has always had a look on his face since he was six years old.
An expression of indifference and calmness! Has the master's face ever looked so confused and lost his composure?
"Um...my master, can we go home?" Mad asked cautiously.
"Go home...oh, go home." Du Wei responded subconsciously, and then an unstoppable thought suddenly came to his mind!
go home!
At this moment, Du Wei's heart, which had been at a loss for all these years, seemed to finally have a glimmer of light!
Yes, go home!
For me, who does not belong to this world, what I lack most is a sense of belonging to this world! I have been indifferent in the past few years, do not like to express my inner feelings, and even deliberately suppressed some inner emotions...
In fact, the most fundamental reason is: I don’t really regard myself as a person in this world in my heart! Because of this, many times, in many things, for me, when I look at the world, I feel like I am a spectator, a person.
Look at it from the perspective of a bystander...and this mentality creates inner indifference!
Go home...what a beautiful word.
And what I lack now is a sense of belonging to this world, isn't it?
Du Wei, who had been indifferent to everything in the past few years, suddenly felt a strange expectation deep in his heart that he was about to return to the Luo Lin family's ancestral business!
Look at those proud cavalrymen...
Hmm... Luolin Plain? I wonder if I can find a sense of belonging of my own in this land?
Hope so!
Since it is no longer possible to truly go home, then...it is right to find a new home that you can place your heart on so that you can have a place where you belong.
After all, since we have come to this world, life must go on.
With the afterglow of the setting sun, Duwei Luo Lin opened the door and stepped out of the carriage, walked out of the dark and closed carriage, stepped out of the shadow, and stood under the beautiful sunset.
The rays of sunlight shone on his face, seeming to dispel all the gloom. A smile finally appeared on the young man's face... and there was finally a trace of long-lost emotion in his expression.
