Chapter 6 [Restless Heart]

- Chapter 6 The Restless Heart

The clouds

in the sky were burned red by the setting sun, and on this spring evening, a beautifully dressed carriage slowly drove down a road in the province of Kot in the southern part of the empire. This exquisite four-wheeled carriage is made of the finest materials. The solemn and noble black body, as well as the exquisite carvings on the carriage and the gold patterns, all highlight the noble identity of the owner of this carriage.

Especially the crest of that family on the car!

A circle of iris flowers wrapped around the blades of two crossed longswords, and on the hilt of the sword was a crown, shrouded in roaring flames...

Such a badge, if in the eyes of a nobleman who has enough understanding of coat of arms, will see how great it is! Among all the families in the entire empire, there are not many who can carve two crossed swords on the badge! These two long swords represent at least one imperial marshal in the history of the family. And the crown on it symbolizes that this family has a blood relationship with the royal family!

At the front and back of the carriage, there were ten guard knights in light armor, riding horses, hanging knights' long swords, the armor on their bodies was polished and their weapons were shiny, but what did not match this beautiful outfit was that these knights were all dejected.

Mad sat next to the coachman, he bit a grass root boringly in his mouth, glanced at the sky, and then sighed deeply, turned around and leaned down to knock on the window of the carriage: "Young Master Du Wei, are we looking for a place to rest, it's a little dark."

In the

carriage, Du Wei, who had been interrupted from reading, raised his head, opened the window, and glanced at the sunset in the sky: "Okay."

Mad immediately answered, at this time, a horse in front of him galloped, and soon came to the front of the carriage, a family guard knight in light armor was slightly panting, and said loudly: "Lord Chief, there is a small town ahead, it seems that this is the only place we can choose to rest tonight."

Mader,

who used to be a horseman, still couldn't get used to being addressed as "Lord Chief", but the honest man still nodded to the young knight riding in front of him taking off his hat: "The master has spoken, and I will rest in front today."

Looking at the young knight's loyal and resolute face, Mader sighed inwardly: "Pure young man. This

time, with Young Master Du Wei returning to the Luolin family's hometown, there were only such twenty family guard knights.

As the second person in the imperial ** command, the eldest son of Lord Raymond, he returned to his hometown this time, but he only brought so twenty guards and such a "chief manager" as himself plus a coachman.

Such a lineup of entourage is also too shabby.

You know, those wealthy families in the imperial capital, those noble families, even if it is a wild outing, will bring groups of servants and guards.

As for the twenty family guard knights, they were all "carefully selected".

Everyone knows that this Young Master Du Wei has completely fallen out of favor in the family. The future of the family is in his brother. Although it was not explicitly said, everyone understood that this Young Master Du Wei had been stripped of his status as the "family heir".

There is no doubt that with such a master who was sent back to his hometown to guard his ancestral business, the future is very bleak. Everyone is utilitarian, everyone hopes to stay in the prosperous imperial capital, and no one will want to follow a waste-like owner back to the poor countryside to live this life in a mediocre way.

Especially the knights. Who doesn't want to stay in the imperial capital, stay by the count's side, maybe in the future with his martial arts to get the count's favor and soar! Therefore, when it was arranged to accompany Young Master Du Wei back to his hometown, everyone could not avoid this mission. No knight would want to waste his good years accompanying a nest owner back to his hometown to take care of the farmers!

As a result, the twenty knights who were finally selected were undoubtedly a group of unlucky ghosts. They are either inferior in martial arts and cannot be reused, or they are withdrawn on weekdays, disliked or excluded by their colleagues, or they are young and insensible, simple-minded and easy to coax.

Looking at the young knight who came back from exploring the way in front of him, Mader had already made a conclusion about this young man in his heart: he was probably the kind of young and ignorant and simple-minded guy. I didn't realize that my line was assigned.

After the emperor capital came out, on this road, everyone's interest was not high, and the only one who still maintained a leisurely and relaxed demeanor was only that Young Master Du Wei.

Although he was assigned, no one had ever heard this young master complain a word. Every day he only sat in a carriage reading books brought from home, rarely spoke, and had a gentle attitude towards people.

Putting away the distractions in his mind, Mader shouted loudly, signaling for everyone to speed up. This former horseman, the current chief manager, is in a good mood. At least he was very good at comforting himself: whatever he was, whether he was assigned or not, he was just a little groom anyway. Being able to have today can already be regarded as a blessing to the young master. Although it is only a "chief manager" who is issued, at least a few gold coins are added to the monthly salary, which is a fact!

Touching the hard money bag in his arms, Chief Governor Mad smiled on his face.

Well, I heard that the Cott Province is located in the southern part of the empire, and the girls in the south have delicate skin and petite figures, maybe my old Mad can also marry a woman here.

******

Because it is the only pub, business is not too bad. Cheap alcoholic drinks, cheap roasts, cheap prostitutes ... Even people living at the bottom of society need some joie de vivre, don't they?

When Du Wei's motorcade came to the door of the tavern, Du Wei raised his head and closed the book in his hand. Then the lantern in the carriage was extinguished.

When he walked out of the carriage, Du Wei glanced up at the rusty tin signboard hanging on the tavern, swaying back and forth in the wind, the noisy sound inside came from the gate, and the window was full of lively lights.

When Du Wei's group walked into the tavern, they immediately attracted the attention of the people inside. After all, a group of knights wearing light armor poured in this small tavern, which was still very eye-catching.

Du Wei came in last, and when he walked in, the knights had done their job well: they cleared a clearing, a clean table, and then surrounded Du Wei in a safe circle.

Everyone in the tavern was looking at Du Wei, at this half-grown child who looked very young.

Du Wei's figure is quite tall, after all, he is born in the Luolin family of the martial arts family, but his body is slightly thinner, the beautiful dress on his body, even the neckline and cuffs are dotted with lace, showing his noble identity, in addition to the red hair of the typical Luolin family blood is a little too eye-catching, he looks more weak.

Pale, slender, white and silent, still holding a book in his hand.

The other knights of the guards had already begun to carry their luggage, Mader threw out a few gold coins, and the owner of the tavern immediately cleared out a few clean rooms, arranged for people to feed the horses, and so on.

At this moment, Du Wei was enduring all kinds of strange gazes shooting from around him.

"Oh! Seemingly! It's an aristocratic lord.

"Ah, how could a noble lord come to our place."

"Boss, I think you should collect the chair that this guy sat on, maybe you can sell it for a good price!"

After a short silence, the people in the tavern resumed their bustle, and everyone was talking about Du Wei's group. Obviously, in such a small place, it is very unusual for such a cheap tavern to run into an aristocratic lord in a gorgeous costume.

There were also a few women with heavy makeup, revealing their shoulders and cleavage, trying to squeeze in and talk to Dewey, but Old Mad did his job well and drove the prostitutes away.

In the push of the mulberry, after the two prostitutes were pushed aside, they couldn't help but point to Mad and scolded a few words, those country slang, old Mad didn't care, but immediately ran next to a drunk and hugged the prostitute: "Aha, my little baby, what's so good about that little brat, or let the uncle hurt you." After that, she squeezed the woman's ass fiercely, and the prostitute smiled, and immediately sat down in the drunk's arms.

Du Wei's face was calm, he drank a glass of wine quietly, and even when the people around him pointed at him, he only frowned slightly.

The guard knights next to them were also a little listless, and in this place full of the smell of cheap alcohol and fat powder, these knights could not help but begin to lament their future prospects.

Alas, how good it would be if you could stay in that flower world in the imperial capital!

At this moment, with a bang, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and then a group of people walked in from outside. There were three men and a woman who came in, judging from their dusty faces and obviously valuable dress, they were obviously not locals, but also outsiders like Du Wei.

What made the people in the tavern suddenly silent was that the eyes of all the men were focused on the girl among the few people who walked in almost immediately.

This is a girl about ten years old, with long brown hair and a gorgeous face, which obviously has an aggressive charm for the opposite sex! And she was wearing a close-fitting leather armor, obviously the leather armor was of the highest quality, and I don't know what kind of Warcraft skin it was made of, exuding a clear blue color, and some strange patterns were engraved on it. And her lower body is even more irritating, actually wearing shorts, exposing all her snow-white plump thighs to the outside! And a belt is tied to the thigh with a dagger stuck in it! She has a machete hanging from her waist, and behind her back a delicate small bow and a row of small silver arrows inserted in her quiver!

From the bright silver color of the arrow, Du Wei immediately recognized that it was pure silver! A bow and arrow made of this sterling silver is really a luxury!

This gorgeous girl's round thighs immediately became the focus of the attention of many men in the tavern! And she seemed to bend down inadvertently, and the neckline of the chic leather armor chest immediately exposed the snow-white and tender cleavage, which immediately made the eyes of the two drunks sitting close to her so wide that even the wine glasses in their hands fell to the ground.

The girl was surrounded by several male companions, a strong man as tall as a brute, wearing heavy armor and carrying a heavy shield behind him. Judging from the aura on his face, the amazing muscles on his bare arms, and a few scars, this was a power-type samurai. The other tall, thin fellow, who looked very sharp, had a longbow on his shoulder, and judging from the black bowstring, slender and powerful fingers, and the black iron ring on his finger, this man should be the character of an archer.

And the last guy is what makes Du Wei pay the most attention!

This is a man in a gray robe, his appearance is very ordinary, but his eyes always flash with a cold light. His attire was so simple that the people around him seemed to ignore him.

However, Du Wei paid the most attention to this guy! Because his whole body is shrouded in a robe, and a silver leaf-shaped badge on his chest!

The people of this small place don't recognize this badge, but Du Wei does! Moreover, some of the knowledgeable Rollin family guard knights around him also recognized.

This last guy in a gray robe was actually a magician! Although he was just a lowest-level first-level magician wearing a silver leaf badge...

But the silver leaf badge on his chest is undoubtedly a genuine magician certified by the Magic Society!

After staring at the badge carefully for a while, Du Wei immediately had an idea in his heart...
