Heart of a Knight
Chapter 1248:Heart of a Knight
It took Manfield a long time to recover from his head.
His vision was blurred, his face was hot, and it was difficult to open his eyes.
Damn, don't you say that the nobles don't fight?
With great effort, he slowly sat up from the ground and moved a little to the two frightened women, and pulled out the rags in their mouths."Don't be afraid, when I take a breath, I'll untie the rope on you."
The two of them did not dare to breathe in the atmosphere, but nodded their heads gently.
This time he paused for a longer time to gain enough strength to loosen the rope.“Okay, you can leave.Don’t get caught by that guy anymore.”
The guy should have no chance at all, and when the ship is full of people out of port, he should be able to bump into the movers wherever he goes.In front of everyone, the other side of the matter is not yet brave.
The woman who had unloaded carefully bypassed him, and then ran out of the clutter - the hurried footsteps gradually dispersed, and finally returned to the silence.
From beginning to end, they still did not say a word, including thank you.
Manfred leaned against the wall and slowly took a breath, wondering why the driver's words suddenly appeared in his mind.
"I said boy, don't always think of yourself as a good person, especially outside... or sooner or later, you will have to suffer a big loss.""
He shook his head and left all those thoughts behind him.
You’ve been used to this, haven’t you?
Now I just hope to return to the allocated cabin before the official departure, and don't be occupied with the bed.
Suddenly Manfred heard the broken step point coming again, accompanied by the "squeaky" sound of the plank, leaning toward him a little.
Hell, that guy named McJinley wouldn’t have hit enough, right?
The sound of footsteps stopped at the door of the clutter room, and then the door was pushed open and a head was explored.
Manfred was stunned, and the one who came was one of the escaped women.
When the door opened, he found that the two men were there—and the man standing behind was holding a wooden barrel, hard-fitting, as if all the strength had been taken out.
It was not until he had placed the bucket in front of him that he noticed that it was full of water.
“You...”
One of them took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood on his face after getting wet, while the other apologized, “Hold, sorry, killed you like this.”We were so afraid that we were so afraid to say a word... because, because... you said you were also a nobleman."
Manfred couldn’t help but laugh.
Even if he was in pain, he didn’t want to control his face.
“Uh, what happened to you...”
“Didn’t I say that?”He interrupted the other: “From the moment of boarding the ship, there is no longer any distinction between slaves and nobles – for the king of the castle not only abolishes the status of slaves, but also takes back all the aristocratic power, in other words, we are the same.”
Yes, Manveld did not know that the castle did not have a knighthood - the merchants who traveled from all over the world had already brought the news to the wolf heart, which in the eyes of most nobles, which was a great rebellion, but let him pay a little attention to Wimbledon.
Since the family road behind, a question has been coiled in his heart, that is, what is a knight?
While his father was still there, he never considered the subject, and thought that it was only a matter of time and a while for him to inherit this identity.However, when the territory was annexed by all forces, Manfield found that things had become unexpected, the new lords had turned a blind eye to him, and those who were obviously not qualified became high, and he seemed to have nothing but a surname.
According to the ancient books, the pioneers elected their most outstanding representatives as the king, and the king gave the status and honor of the brave and good wardens, and together to defend their homes and people, which is the origin of the title.Knights, as the closest people to the bottom, should be humble and compassionate, and at the same time uphold justice and integrity, in order to make the territory prosperous.
It is precisely because of the qualities that these ordinary people do not possess that they are even more noble.
This is also the man Manfred has always wanted to be.
But now he could not understand the difference between a knight and an ordinary man without land.Do they represent their noble spirit or are they a title?
In the struggle for power and interests, the turf of the great lords changes every day, and the lame among the people around him can be a knight, an idiot can be a knight, but he can't do it without land, which makes him suspicious of the so-called "knight class".
Although the family did not fall behind all kinds of setbacks, Manfred's goal has not changed.
It can be said that he has long had the idea of going to the gray castle, only the lack of road fees, and then the gray castle people took the initiative to enter the wolf heart, and the residents of the village and town around him have become the best opportunity.
He wondered if he could still be a knight in a place where there were no longer aristocracy.
After hearing that "we are the same people", the two women's faces were obviously relaxed a lot, "Is it really... is it?" 」
"It was spread in the aristocracy many months ago, and the great families wanted to call Wimbledon the devil of hell."Manfred grinned, "But now they must all go to the most terrible devil."
Wipe his people for a moment of silence, “Why are you helping us?Aren’t you afraid of being a nobleman?”
"He dared not lay dead, for I had already reminded him."Manfield shook his head, “I don’t know how the Greys will review it, but it’s absolutely impossible to hear that there are witches involved.”Even if he does not think it is a crime to insult you, killing another nobleman without authorization is an absolute crime that cannot be ignored, and he is well aware of this.”
At this point he took a breath, "Yes, my name is Manfield Kastein, and you?"
It’s funny, is it the fourth time he’s given his name today?
"My name is Deleen," whispered the other, "her name is Momo."She paused, as if to make up her mind, “The nobleman said it was true, and we were sold—”
"I said, it's all before you get on the boat, no problem."Manfield waved, "As the driver who sent me here said, no matter how it went, there will be a new life for us afterwards--if it were not so, we would not have made up our minds to leave the wolf's heart and go to a distant and strange place, wouldn't we?"
“Oh—”
At this moment, the long and thick horn sounded.
The time to sail is fast approaching.
"Go back, it's a problem if the place is occupied."He stood up, although he still had a lot of pain, but there should be no problem in barely walking back to the cabin. "Me too, so long, I don't want to sleep in the clutter room."
The two women looked at each other and hesitated for a moment, and Delilan took a white ball out of her pocket and handed it to him.
“This is...”
“A medicine that slows down pain,” says Delan, “laughs if you’re sore that you can’t stand it, or break a small piece to eat it.”But remember not to eat too much at once, because it can only delay the pain and not eliminate them.”
Manfred's face is doubtful to take the ball, light delay rather than pain, is there such a miracle drug in the world?
Delilan and Momo did not explain much more, and took the bucket and left the clutter.
And this time, as they reached the door, they stopped and bowed to him, "Thank you, Mr. Kastanin."
Manfred took a breath.
Not everyone is the same, right?
That is enough.
He looked at the pills in his hand for a while and tried to lick it.
A faint sweetness spread from the tip of the tongue.
Probably... wheat flour pinch balls?Maybe I added some honey.
Maybe it was just a placebo stolen from the aristocracy that bought her.
But when the thought came out, something incredible happened.
Almost for a moment, he felt all the pain gone, as if he had never been beaten.
