Chapter 15 Rest
Chapter 15 Rest
"What a big city." William Daly looked at the length of the city gate hole and made a slight slap.
"Don't do this, everyone will treat you as a country bumpkin!" Leo replied with a smile. "You haven't attended aristocratic college, have you?"
"Which place am I doing? My father said that it is expensive and far away, and it is easy to destroy the fighting spirit of young people!"
"Yes, so now you can neither read nor write. You don't even know how much you can earn every year."
"What do I want to learn this? If I have to know my annual income, I will find a accountant!"
"Okay, OK, don't fight." Ashu Rufate inserted between the two. After staying together for a long time, he had gradually become familiar with each other's spleen and stomach. William Daly has always been proud of himself as illiterate (although Ashu Rufate doesn't understand what it is to be proud of), while Leo is very proud to have attended college and learned a lot from books. They are good friends, and this is the reason for the arguments every time.
However, the argument is due to the argument, and the two of them will not really take action. This is because Leo is self-aware. If they really conflict, he is not a match for William Daly. Although William Daly is illiterate, he is the best in the army in terms of arm strength, martial arts and alcoholism.
Leo is sometimes very strange. A stubborn man like William Daly is very afraid of Ashu Rufate for some reason. Maybe it was the failure of that wine fight, or something else. Ashu Rufate obviously received a good education, politeness, and never harshly with anyone. Of course, fighting against the enemy on the battlefield is another matter.
A small quarrel calmed down. Leo began to introduce the city to his two companions, one of whom was lack of knowledge and the other was from a foreign land.
"Loren City is the largest city in St. Gene. Since its completion two hundred years ago, it has been the capital of St. Gene. Here is the best wine and beauty in the country." When he said the last word, he saw a charming girl walking by the corner of the street and couldn't help but whistle.
"It's hard to bear without alcohol in the military camp. Even a little beer is good." William Daly muttered.
The war has come to an end for a while. The Greyhound Knights have been eradicated, and Princess Irina and Lanjill have also left Sedin and come to this city of Loren. Since His Majesty Basketball Gill announced his retirement, the royal city has not had a master for nearly twenty years. So tonight, there will be a grand dance party to welcome Princess Irina's stay.
According to unwritten rules, ordinary knights, namely Leo and William Daly, are not qualified to participate in such a royal dance. Although Ashu Rufate was named Earl, his Earl was definitely reduced and it was also impossible to receive invitations. But now they are both deputy generals of the General Earl Thomas, and their identities are immediately completely different.
In fact, among the four deputy generals, probably only Ryan is qualified to receive the invitation directly - his father is the Duke, and he is a royal branch of Saint Gene, and his mother also has the royal blood of Casillos. Although Ryan himself is the second son of the family, his brother is in poor health, and the inheritance right is likely to fall on him. If this happens, he will inherit the title of Earl. Even if he does not receive the inheritance rights in the end, he will be able to inherit Thomas' title (of course, this requires appropriate help from the family) - at least a baron.
"Listen, we have a whole day of holiday today!" Leo announced loudly as he watched the girl's figure go away. "The dance party was still early in the evening, and we have enough time to have fun!"
"The problem at night's dance is... it's still morning?" Ashu Rufate replied.
"Don't be so stubborn! You know, the nobles and their families from all over the country are gathered here. Now there are countless beautiful ladies for us to choose from!" Leo looked at another graceful figure on the street, and didn't hear anything Ash Rufate said at all.
"But we have no way!" Ashu Rufate reminded. Although Leo was a beautiful young man, he was just a knight from the mountainous areas (this alone would be discriminated against to some extent). He was the lowest in the entire aristocratic society, and it was difficult to get the favor of famous ladies and ladies.
Although everyone has accumulated a lot of contributions in the battle with the Greyhound, everyone knows that the usual rewards of these contributions are rewards of some valuables. It is difficult for a knight to be promoted to a baron. Although it is not as exaggerated as a militia to be a knight, it is definitely a barrier that is difficult to cross.
Moreover, as Princess Irina completed her actual domination of St. Gene, many prestigious nobles led their troops to Thomas's command. It was almost impossible for them to continue to serve as the promising position of deputy general.
Perhaps Ryan is exceptional.
A blurry shadow swung past the ground, and something flew over in the sky.
"What is that?"
"It's the Pegasus Knight!" Leo replied. "Sure enough, all the guys from the south are here."
"Peak horse?" Ashu Rufate stared at the figures of the flying animals in the sky, and couldn't help but think about it.
"Master, if you want, you can make a flying mount with black magic." Carrie suggested in her mind.
"Ashu Rufate, you don't have to look at it. People like us can't get a Pegasus. Even in the south, there are only the richest and influential knights who can proudly say that they have a Pegasus trained in combat, because these creatures are difficult to capture and harder to tame."
"If we can fly into the sky, then what city can't be captured?" He suddenly thought of this question.
"It's useless. Look at them flying so high, because Pegasus does not have any armor. After all the people and horses are put on armor, Pegasus can't fly very high and cannot fly fast. Moreover, Pegasus is different from war horses. This kind of animal can only recognize one owner in its lifetime, and will never allow the second butt to move on their backs, even if the owner holds the second person. Some people say that this is loyal, noble and excellent quality, and I just think it's a pity. Besides, Pegasus is too few. Maybe we, Saint Gene, gathered all over the country, and can gather 200 or 300 Pegasus knights. As long as there are a thousand archers, they can stop them from approaching the city wall."
Leo moved his eyes from the Pegasus in the sky back to the ground. He regretfully found that the slim back just now could no longer be found.
The Pegasus finally disappeared. William Daly and Ashu Rufate turned back reluctantly.
"By the way, where did Ryan go?" Ashu Rufate asked suddenly.
"That kid has already gone to the city! Maybe he is busy showing his kindness to the princess at this moment!"
Among the four deputy generals, Ryan was the only one who was not in the same place. In the final analysis, it was because he looked down on others. Therefore, all three of them had no good impression of Ryan and were basically used to calling him "that boy". In the army, they had no common language. In addition to the necessary commands to convey and communicate, both William Daly and Leo were very alienated from Ryan. As for Ashu Rufate, they had not had a good relationship since the conflict that night. If it weren't for Thomas' existence, they might not be able to work together at all.
They walked along the street. William Daly wanted to enter a tavern, but was pulled by two companions.
"We can drink the best wine tonight, which is the wine that has been stored in the Wang Family Cellar for at least twenty years! Why do you waste your time in such a tavern? If you are drunk and unable to walk, wouldn't you miss the great opportunity tonight?"
These sensible words finally made William Daly restrain his wineworm and left the tavern reluctantly.
"Our main goal is to find a suitable woman here." Leo determined his goal.
"I have a wife." William Daly was not interested in the topic.
"Yes, you drank a month ago. This doesn't affect your desire to drink a little more today, right? As for Ashu Rufate and I are still unmarried, let alone."
"Master, don't forget that you are married." Carrie's voice flashed.
Having said that, there are indeed many noble women in this city. From time to time, you can see gorgeously dressed ladies walking by the streets with servants or maids.
They came to a square. There were many pedestrians here, and many vendors set up stalls here while the bustle was busy. By the pool in the center of the square, many women were lingering.
Leo suddenly stopped, his face full of joy from the bottom of his heart.
"Ash Rufate, William Daly, it seems I have to take a step first!" He said goodbye to his two companions. "Don't worry, I will arrive on time tonight!" Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly left.Ash Rufate noticed that he ran towards a group of women and saluted one of them. The latter did not seem to refuse, and smiled and stretched out a hand to Leo. The two of them held hands and disappeared into the crowd and could never be found again.
William Daly glanced around boredly, his eyes suddenly stopped somewhere.
It was a big sign with the words "Fruit Wine" written on it, and a very clear picture of Fruit Wine that anyone can see. Bright and realistic pictures can immediately arouse people's desires.
"Fruit wine... is not wine! This is just a snack and does not affect the main meal! Ashurufat, let's go and have a drink! I'll treat you!"
"No, thank you." Ashu Rufate was completely uninterested in wine.
"Then we'll see you at night, don't worry, I won't let myself get drunk!" William Daly left firmly.
Now, only Ash Rufate was left in the square. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Master, I suggest we should practice magic while we are free!" Carrie suggested in her mind. "I haven't practiced for a while."
"Sir, can you buy a flower?" A timid voice sounded at your feet. Ashu Rufat looked at him. He was a girl less than ten years old, holding a flower basket in his hand. The girl looked up at him earnestly.
"What am I going to spend? And I don't have money either."
"You can give it to the woman you like. And you are a nobleman, so you won't be able to lose a few dollars."
"Although I am an earl, I am very poor." Ashrufate sighed. He reached out and took out the last few coppers from his empty wallet and bought the bouquet of flowers.
