Chapter 10 Departure

It was a bit cold in the morning in early December. Today, Bennett Castle is very busy. After getting up in the morning, the servants were busy cleaning the carriage, and the two horses pulling the carriage were also fed soybeans and hung sky blue on the horses. Decorative pendant. While the servants trimmed their weapons, cleaned their leather armor and boots, and carefully combed the horses of the Bennett knights and put them on gorgeous saddles.

When Abel brought his servants out of the room, a noble guard of honor composed of six spearmen and a chariot that was not gorgeous but very clean was already waiting in front of the castle.

The pikemen wear uniform sky blue cloth armor, half-height leather boots on their feet, a sky blue cloth cap on their heads, and hold a three-meter long spear. Supplies and other items were made by castle tailors. At most, the cloth armor could make it easier for the arrow to be taken out of the body by the waiter, and it could not hold the arrow down, not to mention the cloth cap for cold protection. Standing at the tip of the spears of the two spearmen in the front, there were two flags, the pattern on which was the thorn shield of the Bennett family.

The carriage was not decorated too much, except that the curtains and door curtains were also changed to sky blue. Sky blue is the main color of the coat of arms of the thorn shield, so in formal occasions, the decoration of everyone in the castle is mainly sky blue.

While Abel was loading the box into the carriage, his father, Knight Bennett, came out of the castle on a war horse, followed by his mother Nora, whose eyes were full of tears, and the eldest brother supported her by the side.

Knight Bennett looks very solemn. The shining silver-white armor on his body is illuminated by the sun, and every piece of armor reflects the cold light. There is no helmet on his head. Helmet, shield and great sword are all hanging on one side of the saddle. On the side, the hair is simply tied into a ponytail, and the cold wind blows, and the hair keeps dancing with the cold wind.

The shield hanging on the outermost side of the saddle, the sky blue thorn shield coat of arms covers the entire shield, and the sky blue scabbard of the great sword contrasts with brilliance.

Mother didn't speak, as if she had already said all the words last night, but just looked at Abel like this, like looking at the most beautiful treasure in the world.

The eldest brother Zach knew that Abel would leave the castle one day. This is a tradition that no one will violate, so he always cares and loves his only younger brother, but he did not expect this day to come so early. Zach walked up to Abel and hugged Abel in his arms, so strong that even Abel, who was in the same realm as him, felt the pressure.

"Remember to come back when you have time, this is your home." The eldest brother, who usually talks a lot, didn't say much at the moment, but this affectionate sentence made Abel's already peaceful heart almost out of control.

The sun on the winter morning did not make people feel warm, the wind was a bit strong, and the flags in the team with the family's thorns and shields were blown loudly. The old man immediately followed in the middle of the team. The set of iron-inlaid leather armor that his father gave him was too large. At this moment, he was wearing a leather armor lined with wool, and he was carrying a light long sword on his back. The weight of this sword is actually too light for him, and this gift from his father is not very practical for him, who is already level 4.

Abel looked back at his mother, Nora, who was still watching the convoy leave in front of the castle, and Zach, who was supporting her, and immediately turned his head. He was afraid that if he turned back again, his tears would fall uncontrollably.

There were not many people in the convoy when we left. Because we had to leave some followers and guards, we only brought 6 spearmen, a coachman, plus Bennett Knight and Abel, a total of 9 people. Last time I followed Asia. After the Knights Bennett left the castle, the second master of the territory, Norman, who stayed in the town of Fort Lee, wanted to stay and protect the castle.

What is explained here is that, as the lowest level of nobles, not everyone is qualified to be a servant of knights. Loyalty, reliability, strong force, and not low status are important conditions.

Just like Norman in the Bennett family, he fought bravely with the knights from the battlefield. After his loyalty was recognized by the knights, he found the warrior secrets from the family heritage and taught him to become an official warrior. , and upgraded his status from an ordinary guard to a knight servant with a higher status than ordinary civilians.

And many wandering knights are looking for the opportunity to become a knight servant of a fief knight. From this, we can see the identity of the knight servant. We must know that after the knight servant pays his loyalty, the knight is responsible for the servant. All expenditures, including weapons and armor, still need to be placed by the family, so whether it is the servant himself or the knight, it is necessary to be cautious and cautious about including a servant. Maybe in the next battle, this servant will be save you, or hurt you.

The convoy traveled for six full hours. Except for the half-hour break at noon, the convoy continued to travel all the time. On the way, no one bothered an aristocratic convoy led by knights, even those beasts. Feeling that the Bennett Knights are like a dormant active volcano, they have the emotion of erupting huge destructive force at any time, and avoid the team.

This is Abel's farthest time from home, whether it is the 11 years in his memory or the nearly 2 years since he came to this world. Because it is winter, the scenery on the road is not attractive, only some evergreen plants are embellished. in the dark earth.

Fortunately, it didn't snow. Although people and horses walked on these dirt roads, it was a little dusty, but it was better than the muddy after rain or snow. Abel heard that the roads in those bustling areas are full of large blocks on the ground. Paved with rocks, it reminded him of concrete roads on Earth.

Abel thought that if cement was made, these roads could be made as hard as those paved with rocks. Patting his head, he told himself in his heart to stop thinking about those inventions and creations. Without strength, he would harm himself and his family, just like the castle water diversion system that was shelved by Knight Bennett.

As a person with a modern education, Abel clearly feels that his thinking is more active than the teenager in his memory, and even more active than when he was on earth. This is why he mastered the knight skills quickly, not only It was a knightly skill, and he could easily learn other aristocratic etiquette and cultural knowledge and remember it firmly. Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if this was the physical benefit brought by his crossing.

The road ahead changed from a dirt road to a gravel road, and the road surface was much smoother. Knight Bennett turned his head and pointed to the road in front of him and said to Abel: "This is the characteristic of Knight Marshall, especially to save face, he requires all All the best, if it weren't for the fact that this is a plain and there are no mountains to mine boulders, then he would make this road a boulder road."

Looking at the polished luminous armor on his father Bennett Knight, the sky blue decorations specially prepared for today's horses, and the brand-new equipment on those pikemen, Abel would like to say, father, if you If you have money, you must have better face than Marshall Knight.
