Start As a Lord In a Viscount

Hunter followed the other three apprentice knights to stand at the gate of the barracks, watching Claire's carriage drift away.

"Nick, go and retrieve Dean's head," Hunt ordered.

Although puzzled, Nick took Dean's head, which was hit by Claire's shot, over. Dean's head had now turned into a shriveled skull with only a layer of skin covering it.

Hunter took it directly, and he didn't think the blood was dirty. He tied his head again with a rope and threw it hard.

He hung Dean's head in front of the barracks again.

"Captain...you are..." Nick said in surprise.

Hunter licked his lips, "Alert yourself."

With that said, Hunter looked up at the hanging head again. He now knows how Dean died, and he also knows how he became the new Knight Captain.

Someone just said that he is a dog of the Lord Lord. That's right, he just wants to be a dog of the Lord Lord. After all, the dog has meat to eat, right? But if you become the enemy of the lord, then the consequences will be like this hanging head.

Some people want to be a dog, but they can't, hehe.

"Captain..." Nick looked at Hunter, "What should we do next?"

The other two apprentice knights looked at the empty barracks, and felt a little empty in their hearts. There were only four of them left in the barracks of more than 50 knights, and they couldn't help feeling lonely.

Hunter shouted: "Now! Ride your horses! Go and spread the rule that the lord just revised! Before tonight, all the school-aged teenagers in the viscount must know! Under the leadership of the Lord Lord, the knights of the Viscounty Liffin will become famous all over the world!"

Hearing the loud and passionate words of their own captain, the blood of the three knights was also aroused, and they immediately acted to find their warhorse and stepped on it!

Picking up the horse's back, four strands of smoke billowed from the barracks door and flew in four directions!

...

In a village north of Nafu City, the four Meili family were eating at home. They lit a weak candle to illuminate the small house.

Among the villagers, there is no magic lamp that can light up the whole house like the noble family, and it can only be illuminated with weak candlelight.

"Merry, this is the candy I bought for you after I went to the city to sell the food today."

Crane opened his hand and handed Mellie the brown sugar in his hand.

Mei Li's smart eyes were full of excitement, she took the brown sugar and licked it, "Thank you brother, my favorite brother!" But licking and licking, Mei Li couldn't help thinking of the rainbow candy who gave her the other day. Big brother, that rainbow candy must be tastier and sweeter than this brown sugar.

But Mei Li quickly shook her head sharply, thinking in her heart: "The brown sugar that my brother bought for Mei Li is the sweetest, and my brother is the best! Although my mother didn't buy it for Mei Li before, this is the money my mother gave me. , so mother is also very good!"

Seeing his sister licking the brown sugar happily, Kelan also showed a happy smile, but he seemed to think of something soon, and his mood became low.

The woman gave Crane a worried look, then turned to look at her husband, wanting him to do something.

The man sighed, and patted Crane's shoulder with his big palm, comforting: "It's alright, wait until next year when our family has enough food and the Viscount will recruit knights, then you will definitely become a knight. Excellent knight!"

The woman also immediately replied: "Yes, yes, the Viscount has exempted so many taxes, and we will definitely have a lot of food and money left in the coming year, and then you can go to Nafu City to become a member of the city of Kelan. knight."

Crane's eyes alternated between light and dark, and after a while, he squeezed out a smile, "Okay, it's alright, let's eat."

But he knew in his heart that even with so many tax reductions and exemptions, a child from an ordinary peasant family had no hope of becoming a knight at all. He couldn't only eat wheat bread during training, and he also needed some special medicines and a lot of meat. In this way, there is hope to cultivate a grudge and advance to become an apprentice knight.

Moreover, the recruitment of the Cavaliers does not happen every year. In general, it is good to be able to recruit once every ten years in the territory. After ten years, his age is not the best age to become the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers will not ask for it. his.

Of course, if he sells iron, he can also become a knight, but the family may not finish the last meal, and the strength in his bones does not allow him to do such a thing.

Merry licked the candy in her hand and looked up at her brother. For some reason, she felt a trace of loss from Crane, which did not match the expression on her face.

"Brother..." Mellie stretched out her little hand and grabbed Crane's thumb.

Crane's attention was attracted, and he asked with a smile on his face, "Is brown sugar delicious?"

Mei Li held Crane's little hand even harder, her other hand clenched into a fist-like gesture of encouragement, and said firmly, "Brother, come on!"

Kelan was stunned. In the past, when he used a wooden sword to practice swordsmanship in the front yard, Mei Li encouraged him like this, but now it makes people want to cry.

There were tears in Crane's eyes, but he quickly closed his eyes tightly and held back, rubbing Melly's small head with his hands, unable to say anything.

When the couple saw their son with his head bowed, the feeling in their hearts was also uncomfortable. Since childhood, Kelan's only wish was to become a real knight, but now they finally have the opportunity, but because of family factors If they don't give up, their hearts as parents are blocked at this moment.

"Father, let me and you go to harvest wheat tomorrow morning." Crane's voice seemed a little choked up.

The man was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't that the time for you to exercise and practice swords in the morning? You don't have to go. I can do it alone. Come and help me when you finish practicing."

Crane shook his head and looked up at his parents, but at this time the two parents could clearly see that Crane's eyes were already red.

"I won't practice in the future. In fact, there is nothing to be a knight."

The couple's eyes widened and they looked at each other. They all knew that becoming a knight was Crane's dream since he was a child, so he gave up like this?

Crane has really figured it out. When he met the big brother before, he said that he became a knight to protect his family and keep them fed. Now, the Viscount has reduced so many taxes. It should be no problem to have enough to eat, so it doesn't matter if you become a knight or not.

Moreover, a career like knight should not be thought of by a child from an ordinary family like me, what kind of career should be done in any family, and can't be too ambitious.

The couple looked at each other and opened their mouths to say something, but they didn't know what comforting words they could say.

"Let's eat, remember to call me to collect wheat tomorrow." Crane laughed.

"Okay..." The man replied slowly.

"Yeah." Crane nodded, munching on the brown bread he was holding, without saying a word.

"boom!"

A sound came from the door, and a teenager who looked about the same size as Crane was gasping for breath with an excited look on his face.

"Brother Ike, why are you here?" Crane quickly stood up and walked over.

Ike was the same age as him in the same village. Because he was one year older than him, he kept calling him brother.

"Haha!" Ike was still gasping for breath, but still excited: "Good news...good news! Good news, Crane!"

"What's wrong?" Crane looked puzzled. He didn't see the other party so excited when he was exempted from the tax last time.

"Lord Viscount has ordered again to recruit knights again!"

Crane's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed back, and the result was the same when he re-recruited the knight.

"This is not the same as last time!" Ike grabbed Crane's hand. "The Viscount has revised a rule that we don't need to pay for training in the military camp! It's all free!"

Kelan's mouth couldn't be closed in shock, and he quickly asked, "Really!"

"Really! Come and see with me, there is a knight who has come to our village on horseback! How can this be fake?" After saying that, Ike took Crane's hand and pulled him out .

"Uncle Gary, Aunt Jessica, Crane and I have a look, we'll be back soon!"

Crane also cast a longing look at his parents, and the couple quickly waved and told them to go.

After Crane left, the family without one person was much more cheerful than it was at the beginning. The faces of the couple were full of smiles. Although Mei Li didn't know what happened, she was eager to eat. Because this cheerful mood has risen.

"Lord Viscount is really a good person." The man said with emotion, he knew that this time his son's wish could finally come true.

The woman immediately echoed: "Lord Viscount is the best noble I have ever seen. When I go to church to pray next week, I will make a wish to the Lord that he is healthy and safe!"

Mentioning this, the man and the woman immediately put their hands together, "Thank the Lord for giving us food!"

Meili also imitated everything on the side, "Thank the Lord for giving us food!"

Then he secretly opened one eye and looked at Mom and Dad. When he realized that the other party was still praying, he whispered, "Lord, if you can let me eat candy every day, Lord, you will be the best!"
