Chapter 12: [Legendary Family]
Chapter 12 The
Legendary Family
The convoy walked for a day. Obviously, this newly added female knight has attracted special attention from her colleagues. Of course, this is not only because this is the only woman in the Celestial Companion, but because of the relationship between this female knight and the little master.
Last night, she walked out of the little master's room. And overnight, she sent herself to the door to swear allegiance.
And this kind of attention, in fact, also contains a layer... A little jealousy.
That's right, jealousy.
Because, this woman actually won the title of a real "knight"!
It must be pointed out that the so-called "guardian knights" of the family are not actually considered real knights. The family guardian knight is actually just a title, a title with the name "knight". It's as if a seahorse also has a horse character in its name, but no one really thinks that seahorse and horse are the same thing.
In the sense, they can only be regarded as a bunch of "cavalry". It's a bunch of guards and cavalry. Not a knightly class in the true sense of the word. A woman who had only known each other for a day, a woman with third-rate martial arts, suddenly got what these men dreamed of, which had to make them jealous.
It is unlucky enough to be sent to the backcountry with this little owner. Their only pursuit was to hope that one day the master would suddenly favor him and recruit himself from the guard cavalry to an honorary knight—and that's the only idea.
Everyone knows that this little master will not be able to obtain the right to inherit the earldom. He will be at most a baron in the future, and the baron is only given by law the right to recruit ten knights... Now in just one day, a precious place has been occupied by a woman of unknown origin! That's enough to make these people feel a little unbalanced.
The most reasonable explanation is that this thirteen-year-old little master probably doesn't know what a "knight" is. He simply treated this precious thing as a child's home game and gave it to others at will!
And, more importantly... Who told that chick to be beautiful and have a pair of plump and beautiful thighs?
Take your life!
Ruolin had already sensed the disapproving looks from these new colleagues around her. It seemed that even her own two original companions did not understand something. But Ruolin still decided to believe in her own vision!
This new master, this little young master named Du Wei, will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future! Choosing to be loyal to him should not be a wrong decision!
When the sunset filled the sky again, Du Wei's motorcade had just crossed a large river, and the bridge made of round boulders was nearly a hundred years old, and the stones near the river were covered with turquoise moss, reflecting a beautiful emerald color with the clear rushing river.
And the name of this big river is exactly called "Emerald River", of course, it has a more official name:
Rollin River!
The river is named after the Rollin family.
The Rollin River crossed the southern province of the empire, the province of Kot, dividing the rich province of the southern part of the empire in two. With this river as the boundary line, as long as you cross this river, you have already stepped on the family territory of the Luolin family! The half of the Kote province south of the river belongs to the Rollin family!
On the southern bank of the river is a flat plain, which is quite considerable in the southern part of the terrain dominated by hilly areas. There is fertile land, green forests, farmsteads, warm climate, plenty of sunshine, and proper rainfall.
It was one of the richest lands of the empire and an important location for the empire's grain production. This plain, which is exactly half the area of the province of Kot, also has an official name... Rollin Plain!
Yes, this is also named after the Rollin 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, when the alien race located in the north of the continent invaded south, dragging the entire Roland Empire into the quagmire of war, and there were rebellions within the declining empire, and the empire was once on the verge of collapse.
During the war, a number of outstanding figures emerged, including a general of the Rollin family, who later accumulated many achievements and finally became an imperial marshal (this is also the only imperial marshal produced by the Rollin family for more than three hundred years). ）. It is also worth mentioning that the emperor married his sister to him in order to win over this marshal with great military achievements.
Just before an important decisive battle, in order to encourage his brother-in-law to bravely kill the enemy, His Majesty the Emperor pointed to the south bank of the Emerald River with a horsewhip on the spot, announcing:
"If you return victorious, then in the future, this river is bounded by water, and the land in the south of the Kot Province, I will reward you with all that!" Moreover, in the future, the river here and this plain will be changed to your family's name! This is to highlight the extraordinary and outstanding contribution of the Rollin family to the empire!
Such encouragement lifted the courage of the marshal, who brilliantly commanded the decisive battle, and finally won the war and saved the fortunes of the empire! At the same time, he also won the agreement with the emperor!
After that, the Emerald River was renamed the Rollin River! And this plain in the south has also been renamed the Rollin Plain - two hundred years have passed, and now people have even forgotten what the plain used to be called!
Because, in all official documents and local registers of the empire, it is clearly written "Rollin River" and "Rollin Plain".
Although two hundred years have passed, as a member of the Luolin family, even if it is only these low-level guard cavalry, when they cross the river and set foot on this plain land, they can't help but feel excited in their hearts!
It's a sense of belonging and honor to the family!
Look at that! This is where Rollin's house is! It is the place where the great ancestors of the Rollin family carved their names! Here, the great Rollin family engraved their name in the history of the empire! Also engraved on this land!
Du Wei, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that the carriage was slowing down, and there was a movement outside. Duvira opened the window, and saw that the knights in front of him couldn't help but take off their hats and cheer, their faces swept the decadent appearance on the road in recent days, and everyone's face radiated joy and glory from the heart! And also... Adore!
"Coming home! The Rollin people are home! Back to our own land!
The horsemen cheered, and some even forgot their discipline and galloped back and forth. Letting the horse's hooves trample happily on the black dirt, even their commander did not restrain these excited subordinates at the moment, but sat on the horse and watched all this with a smile!
Unlike the rest of the Empire, the Rollin family maintains a very old tradition! That is: knights and samurai in the family, only recruit people from the family territory!
These escort cavalry who returned with Du Wei, a considerable number of them were born in the Rollin Plain! They are true people of the Rollin family, people who have lived here for generations!
According to the traditional practice, the territorial private soldiers of the Luolin family, as well as the family's guard cavalry, and even the personal soldiers of the family master, each guard tries to select the "own family" from the Rollin Plain! Because every head of the family believed that this practice would guarantee the loyalty of his subordinates, andCentripetal force to the family! For example, the chief guard of the current head of the family, Lord Count, the enlightenment martial arts teacher of the second young master Gabri, the alpha swordsman, is an authentic person born in the Rollin Plain.
These guards who accompanied Du Wei and were sent out of the imperial capital, although they were unhappy because they were driven out of the empire, but fortunately, at this moment, the joy of returning home finally diluted the decline in their hearts.
Du Wei sat in the carriage, looking at the cavalry who were shouting happily on horseback, he groaned slightly, immediately understood the reason, and then smiled: "Made, have we already crossed the Rollin River?"
"Yes, my master." Mader immediately felt the side of the car, and his face also had a hint of joy: "We're home."
Du Wei glanced at Made: "Oh, Made, tell me, are you also born in the Cott Province?"
"Yes. Although I grew up in the imperial capital, my father was a native of the Luolin family. Mader also raised a smile: "My father worked as a horseman in the Rollin family all his life, and I inherited his job."
After a pause, Mad glanced at the little master cautiously, and lowered his voice: "My master, I need to remind you of one thing... Hmm..."
"What?"
"What you just said, I'm afraid your statement is a little inappropriate." Made's face actually showed a rare seriousness!
"What's wrong?" Du Wei smiled and said, "Just point out my mistake."
"You just asked me if I was born in the 'Cott Province'. There is something wrong with that. While looking at the owner's expression, Mad said cautiously: "Although the Rollin Plain is within the territory of the Kote Province, when a true Rollin family mentions his place of origin, we will never say things like 'I am from the Kot Province'!" A true Rollin family member who mentions his birthplace will only say, 'I am from the Rollin Plains!' '. A true Rollin family member will be proud and proud of their identity as a Rollin from the bottom of their hearts! My master, so... When you face other Rollin family members in the future, please don't say 'Cott Province People', please definitely call 'Rollin Plain People'! Otherwise, the other party is likely to feel hurt because of your words. And... You are also the eldest son of the patriarch of the family, and you must not hurt the feelings of the people of the family in your words. Looking
at this former horseman, he could actually say such a thing with a proud face, even Du Wei had to feel a little surprised in his heart.
Maybe... I really underestimate this family.
Looking at those cheerful cavalrymen, looking at the heartfelt pride on their faces... Only a truly great family can do this.
Then, in this case, the Lord Count in the imperial capital, when he saw that the eldest son he had high hopes for was actually an idiot, the Lord Count who was responsible for the family, and a father who inherited the glory of the family, the disappointment and anxiety in his heart can be imagined.
Although I didn't think much of the father's snub to him. But at this moment, Du Wei suddenly understood the count's mood from the bottom of his heart!
As a father, he could probably put up with his son being a waste! However, as the leader of the family, he absolutely could not tolerate that the heir of the family who was pinned on high hopes was a waste! Because he must take responsibility for the future of such a great family!
In this way, he decisively abandoned himself and was cold to himself, all of which is excusable.
In such a moment, Du Wei lost his mind.
Looking at the dazed 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: since he was six years old, this little master has always had an indifferent and calm expression on his face! How could the master's face ever have such a dazed and gaffe?
"This... My master, can we hit the road home? Mader asked cautiously.
"Go home... Oh, go home. Du Wei subconsciously replied, and then he suddenly had an unstoppable thought welling up in his mind!
Go home!
At this moment, Du Wei's heart, which had been a little dazed over the years, seemed to finally bloom with a ray of light!
Yes, go home!
For me who does not belong to this world, what I lack the most is a sense of belonging to this world! His indifference in the past few years, he does not like to express his inner feelings, and even deliberately suppresses some of his inner emotions... In fact, the most fundamental reason is: I haven't really regarded myself as a person in this world in my heart! Because of this, in many cases, many things, for themselves, looking at the world, it seems to be from the perspective of a spectator, a bystander... And such a mentality caused inner indifference!
Go home... What a beautiful word.
And what he lacks now, isn't there a formal sense of belonging to this world?
Originally, in the past few years, Du Wei, who had been in a faint mood for everything, suddenly felt a strange expectation in his heart for the ancestral business that was about to return to the Luolin family!
Look at the proud cavalrymen ...
Well... Rollin Plain? I wonder if I can find a sense of belonging in this land?
I hope so!
Since it is no longer possible to actually go home. So... It is also appropriate to find a new home that you can place your heart on and let yourself have an inner belonging.
After all, since you have come to this world, life will always go on.
With a hint of sunset, Duvey; Rollin pushed the door and got off the carriage, out of the dark and closed carriage, out of the shadows, and stood under the beautiful sunset.
The light shone on his face, as if to dispel all the haze. The teenager finally had a smile on his face... Moreover, there was finally a trace of long-lost emotion in his expression.
This emotion is: anticipation! -
