Chapter 5 Arrival at the Provincial Capital of Xihe Province

不过,作为鹰伯爵选给维林少爷的护卫骑士,他必须履行自己的责任,报答艾克斯家族对他的培养.

 

在训练场的边缘,维林看着200米外的12名骑士,心里已经知道,这些是家族给他的守卫.

 

当他向他们走来时,他观察到了.

 

这十二个人都非常年轻,年龄大概在 24 到 28 岁之间,可见他们的才华.

 

毫不奇怪,家人交给他的十二个人将成为他未来的得力助手.

 

据维林所知,要不花上万金币,从零开始培养一支青铜骑士团队,绝对是不可能的.而十二个受过训练的人的天赋就更胜一筹,否则再怎么训练,都会是一堆垃圾.

 

站在一旁的生命缪斯祭司看到维林走来,举起手杖,郑重地说道:"在生命缪斯的见证下,誓言开始.

 

"拔出你的剑."

 

贝尔德听到这句话后大声命令道.

 

其他十一人拔出骑士剑,放在胸前,向维林敬礼.

 

见状,维林也拔出随身携带的短剑,直直地放在胸前,认真地看着那十二人.

 

"我,贝尔德."

 

"我,安德鲁"

 

"..."

 

"我以自己的名誉发誓,在生命缪斯的见证下,我发誓要尽我最大的努力为眼前的这个人而战,履行我的职责,恪守侠义精神."剑在哪里,就是我的方向.

 

"我,维林,作为你宣誓的对象,接受你的效忠,永远不会离开.请见证生命的缪斯.

 

一道圣光闪过,笼罩了十三人.

 

一条无形的纽带将十二人的命运与 Velin 联系在一起.

 

"The oath is completed, the great life Muse will protect you." The old priest announced the end, and then went down to rest under the guidance of a housekeeper.

 

The thirteen people put their swords into the scabbard at the same time, and concluded the oath.

 

From this moment onward, the twelve Bronze High Rank Knights shared the same fate with Velin.

 

"Everyone, if you choose me, I will not let you down."

 

Velin scanned the twelve and memorized their faces.

 

Then, he went straight to the box where the weapons were stored, opened the lid, and revealed the Excellent Knight longsword stored inside.

 

"As your sect master, this is my gift to you."

 

"In addition, the red phosphorus horses here, each of you choose one as your mount, I hope you can become my sharp sword and open up territory for me."

 

"Thank you, Lord." The twelve replied in unison.

 

In a place they couldn't see, at a window in the main castle, the Earl of the Eagle witnessed it with his own eyes.

 

Angus was very pleased with his fifth son's actions.

 

For those who are loyal to you, you must be generous and not stingy, so that you can win the hearts of your subordinates in the shortest possible time.

 

In the battlefield, the one who holds the sword for you will always be your knight.

 

Your wife, your children, or even your brother couldn't possibly do that for you.

 

This is the truth that Angus has gradually realized over the past 30 years.

 

"You go down and prepare. Tomorrow morning, we will leave Windsor Castle and head to the provincial capital of West River Province."

 

"Respect your instructions."

 

Twelve people beat their chests with their right hands, bowed their heads slightly, and said respectfully.

 

Watching them leave, Velin began to count the remaining things. After making sure they were correct, he ordered the servants to carry them to the carriage outside the vice-fort where he lived.

 

Then he went to the main castle to bid farewell to his mother.

 

After all, they didn't know how long it would take for them to meet.

 

For example, the fourth brother who left five years ago has never returned once and has been struggling in unknown places.

 

Seems plain but can amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.

 

This was Velin's evaluation of his fourth brother. His perseverance and talent were indeed worthy of these eight words.

 

I kept thinking about how to say goodbye to my mother.

 

Before he knew it, he came to the door where his mother was.

 

She gently pushed open the door and watched her mother, Alyssa, sitting on the windowsill, weaving silk scarves in her hands with the help of sunlight.

 

The maid standing next to her saw Verin's arrival and lowered her head and whispered.

 

Alyssa stopped what she was doing, raised her head, and looked at Verin.

 

I don't know why, I have thought of many languages in my heart, but I can't speak them for a while.

 

"Mother, I'm leaving tomorrow."

 

"Well, I know, my eagle has grown up and is going to fly high. He has his own goal, and I hope you can return with glory."

 

"That day will come, Mother."

 

Velin stepped forward, hugged his mother, and said his final goodbye.

 

Thousands of words were gathered into this embrace.

 

After an unknown amount of time, Velin took the silk scarf his mother had given him and left her room.

 

Afterwards, he went to his father's study and told him about his departure, gaining his advice and blessing.

 

After saying goodbye to his parents, Velin returned to his room and asked his two underage Guardian Knights to pack up and prepare to leave tomorrow.

 

 

On April 3, 9720, at the east gate of Windsor Castle, Velin was wearing a light cloth armor and riding a tall red phosphorus horse. He looked at a corner of Windsor Castle and ordered loudly, "Let's go."

 

Under his orders, six carriages, twelve knights of the escort, and two minor guardian knights formed a simple motorcade, leaving Windsor Castle and heading towards the provincial capital of West River Province.

 

Xihe Province was located in the southern hinterland of the Kingdom of Elijah, covering an area of 950,000 square kilometers. There were two marquis, three earls, and more than 100 viscount and baron territories mixed between the five noble territories. They were distributed at the junction and served as a buffer zone.

 

In order to avoid the Sahaklos Mountain Ridge located in Tiexiong Territory, Velin decided to detour from the mountain forest collar next to him, avoid the interception of the hostile forces on the road, and head to Xihe Province.

 

Although it would take more than 200 kilometers to travel, it was better than being taken away by someone who was just in the bud.

 

More than ten days later, after a journey of 600 kilometers, Weilin and his party safely arrived at the provincial capital of Xihe Province. This city was directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family of the kingdom, covering an area of 400 square kilometers, with a jurisdiction of 10,000 square kilometers, and lived in a large city of more than two million people.

 

Patting his mount, Velin looked up at the thirty-meter-high city wall of the provincial capital of West River Province, which was three meters higher than the tower of Windsor Castle.

 

From time to time, griffin knights flew by in the sky.

 

He remembered that the Aix family also supported a Griffin Knights, with 120 people, and each member was an intermediate silver rank.

 

In this world, from the bottom to the top, all professions could be broadly divided into apprentices, bronze, silver, gold, soul essence, legend, etc. As for the transcendent level after that, he did not know.
