Chapter 254 Carl's Descendants
A small town on the border of the Glory Empire is still at peace. Under the setting sun, the light yellow light dyes the entire town with a faint yellow halo. In the distance, smoke from several houses rises into the sky.
Grant Town here is a fief acquired by a formal knight named Carl a hundred years ago. In the blink of an eye, there have been two lords here.
The territory to the left is a large area of dark green grass. In front of a farmhouse stand several windmills rotating slowly. Behind there are several factories and wooden houses. Inside sits an old man holding tea and lying in the sunset. He is in his dying years.
, dying, about to die and other words are very appropriate to use on him. He lived for more than one hundred and thirty years, and was the founder of the town Carl.
Taking a sip of tea, Karl's cloudy eyes showed a hint of memories. He remembered that a long time ago, when he was a child, he lived in a territory called Fire City, and the lord was a baron named Albert.
, and a white-robed mage scavenger. It was originally very peaceful.
Living a quiet life, he did not expect that his parents were slaughtered by the invading orcs and war elves. Fortunately, a mage named Grant saved him and allowed him to slowly climb out of the dark gorge and have everything he has now. Then
At that time, they broke up only after reaching the steel barrier.
Because he remembered his kindness and wanted to avenge the war elves, he practiced hard every day, and his swordsmanship level improved rapidly. With his not-so-excellent qualifications, he was promoted to the peak of a formal knight, which was a bit more powerful than the original baron. Moreover, his swordsmanship was even better.
The attack method can be said to be life-threatening. At that time, I was very charming, killing many orcs and war elves, and gained a territory called Blackstone City.
As a result, he did not expect that the kingdom would be merged into the Glory Empire, and his territory would only have the town of Grant. But before, the province had given this territory to a guy with a little background. Karl didn't have too much resentment about this, anyway.
Life is long enough without too many regrets. No! I still have one regret, and that is not being able to see Grant again. I feel a little regretful every time I think about this.
Carl thought to himself that maybe Grant is now gray-haired and looks like an old man. After all, more than a hundred years have passed, and he has survived until now with the strong vitality of a formal knight. If the opponent is a mage and lives a few more years, he will be the same as the old man at most.
.
As he was thinking about it, his eyelids suddenly became a little heavy. Suddenly, his chest stirred and he spit out a mouthful of blood. Karl's eyes widened and he wanted to breathe loudly, but something seemed to be stuck in his lungs and he couldn't breathe.
Bang!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a young man who looked similar to young Karl walked in. He grabbed Karl's shoulders and pressed his chest hard, fearing that Karl would not be able to catch his breath.
A few minutes later, Karl felt that the breathing in his lungs became smooth again, but his eyes were a little heavy and droopy. It was the luster that only the eyes of the dead can have, turbid and lifeless.
"Grandpa, are you okay now?" The young man nervously grabbed Carl's dry palm and asked eagerly. He is Carl's grandson Carlos, a master who has reached the level of an ordinary knight.
"Well, I'm fine. But I'm going to tell you something today, so please listen slowly." Karl smiled, but it was very forced and painful.
"Actually, I used to have a benefactor named Grant, who was the Lord of Glory City. Of course he was decades ago. He is a great mage, so he is probably still alive. I hope you go there to look for traces of him. This
It's my wish. Maybe I can no longer see it in this life, and only you can carry out this wish on my behalf."
"Grandpa, you will be fine. You are the pinnacle of a great official knight. You were so majestic in the past. No one dared to disobey your will." Carlos cried and told Carl with great reluctance.
. He did not expect that his grandfather, who had always been with him, would soon leave his world. Every time he thought of this, tears flowed down his face, and he felt cramps in his heart.
"No need to talk about these things anymore. Everyone may die or leave. The difference is just sooner or later. Anyway, what I said will only be carried out after I die. You don't need to worry like that, do you understand? Haha
, you stupid kid..." Carl forced a smile and stretched out his hand tremblingly to touch Carlos' head. Suddenly, his hand trembled, and then fell down silently.
He never dreamed that his heart would explode like an exploding balloon in an instant. Fortunately, before he died, he had already told what he needed to say without reservation, otherwise he would have been really depressed.
The expression on Carlos' face froze, and his eyes gradually showed a bit of disbelief. He shook his head and murmured: "Impossible, impossible, impossible... Grandpa will not die. I
My grandfather is a great knight, his life span is unbelievable, how could he die?"
After he spoke, his face was covered with a mixture of tears and snot. His violently shaking body fell next to Karl, and he could no longer muster the extra strength to stand up.
He sobbed and choked, venting the dissatisfaction in his body. Who would have thought that when he returned home normally, he would see his grandfather lying in front of him and never be able to stand up again. This kind of pain is worse than a knife digging out the heart.
The pain is a hundred times, a thousand times, or even tens of thousands times.
After crying for several hours, Carlos gradually stopped crying, hugging Carl's body and trying to bury it in the front lawn where his grandfather used to play with him.
…………
Half a month later, at the exit of the town of Gbante, there was a water bridge, with lush dark green grassland on both sides. Below was a clear river running from north to south. The sound of rushing water could be heard around, but at this time, several
The sound of horse hooves disrupted the beautiful scenery under these natural scenery.
Carlos was wearing a silver light armor, carrying a long sword on his back, and his long hair on his forehead had been neatly cut. At this time, he was riding a high-spirited horse across the stone bridge, followed closely by two horses.
Following his footsteps, they left the town of Grant together. For them, they had found their current goal and that was to find Grant.
"Thank you both for coming with me. Now let's shine brightly in our future dreams." Carlos held the reins tightly with both hands and looked at the two companions behind him with emotion on his face.
.Half a month ago, after I buried my grandfather in the cemetery in front of my home, I sold all the assets in the house. I didn’t expect that two friends who had grown up playing together would have nothing to say after hearing such a legendary thing.
Hesitation quickly followed.
"This is a very powerful thing. I've been living comfortably in a small town and I'm almost getting moldy. There haven't been any interesting things."
"Besides, your level is not even your opponent in a small town, even the mayor. We are not in much danger when we go outside. And our own level is also quite powerful, reaching the quasi-knight level."
"Well, let's explore the woods ahead together. But everyone must be careful." Carlos was very touched that his two companions could follow him together. But being careful is still the safest way. If his companion dies,
I believe I will be regretful for the rest of my life.
"Let's go." A companion who was obviously lively laughed and galloped his horse. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a puff of dust and smoke and disappeared from Carlos's eyes.
…………
In the blink of an eye, they advanced for more than ten days and passed two small towns along the way. After the initial discomfort, everyone gradually accepted this kind of life in the wild.
They do not have any disappointment or sentimentality. Instead, they think that these days of constantly walking around the world and broadening their horizons are very meaningful. The biggest difference between people and actions is that they are not satisfied with the status quo around them. They want to be stronger, go to more places, and understand more.
The content is also deep. These are the instincts of human survival.
The forest of Anlis. This is an inaccessible path leading to the city of Sicily. From here you can get to the city very close. But there is also a disadvantage. There is a group of bandits living in the forest. When they see the passing caravans are weak, they will
Attack and engulf them without hesitation and take away all their finances. No one will be spared.
Woo~~~
The three of them stopped in front of the lush dark green woods. Seeing the deep environment, black shadows flashed from time to time, or there were terrifying screams.
Carlos, the leader, saw the movement ahead and raised his brows slightly, appearing a little impatient and nervous. He knew that the place ahead was where thieves were rumored. To be honest, he had never seen any thieves before or even attacked them head-on, and he didn't know now.
Can you beat the opponent?
However, grandpa said that ordinary thieves are nothing great. They are just ordinary adults. At most, there are some quasi-knight combinations. Only the thieves groups at the border have ordinary knights. As for masters like formal knights who go to the empire
How could he become a thief in a place like this when he could get a title and live in a large territory just by serving.
Therefore, Carlos still felt a sense of belief in his nervous heart. He had a kind of blind admiration and confidence in his grandfather Carl, etc.
"Okay, everyone has arrived at the border of the Anlis Forest. I think everyone already knows what the front means. Remember, you must be careful when you go to the front this time. Otherwise, it may cause serious injuries."
"Don't worry. This is my first time dealing with thieves. I'm really excited. I will definitely let them see their grandfather and my true abilities. Hey, Carlos, let's compete later on who can kill more thieves? Why?
How about that?" A companion named Ocalid said with a smile and bright eyes. He was not interested in those thieves. He was a quasi-knight and was considered a very strong master in Grant's town.
Can't we still deal with those guys? Okalid still doesn't believe it.
"Okay, let's get ready to attack each other with all our strength." Carlos saw the message on his companion's face, and his nervousness was relieved to a certain extent. Since both companions are not afraid, and he is stronger than them, he can still
What kind of bird are you afraid of?
He raised his hand and swept the horse's back, and the horse turned into a burst of light smoke and rushed into the woods. As soon as it entered the woods, the bright environment suddenly turned dark, and soon black shadows flashed across the woods.
Far away on the other side of the forest, there is a tall tree with many woods. These winding log cabins are inhabited by notorious thieves. They have not encountered any decent threats in the Annies Forest for a long time.
Basically, every time I take action, I gain the following
Very satisfying. This time, in a white tented room in the middle, a burly, nearly two-meter-tall man stood with his chest lifted, holding a glass of wine and drinking happily. There was also a hot-tempered man next to him.
The beautiful woman lay in her arms and kept making tingling sounds.
The big man's whole body turned crimson when he heard it, and his eyes flashed with lust. He didn't expect that the woman he had snatched and trained for half a year would be so obedient. The level of temptation to even initiate sexual intercourse was much higher than he expected.
, and suddenly he raised his gun. He felt like he wanted to barrel something.
"No, you little prodigal, if I don't do anything to you today, my dick really can't stand it. I can satisfy you in any position you like. And I will let you enjoy what you have always felt.
I've never been happier. Hehe...I really chose the position I like. You give me a blowjob first."
The big man smiled lewdly, stretched out one hand to hold the woman's head and leaned down, a triumphant smile appeared on his ferocious face. Such a beautiful woman made such an action under his crotch. It was full of achievements.
feel.
"Boss! Boss!" A burst of hurried shouts came from far to near, from small to loud, and suddenly appeared outside the camp. The big man who heard the voice showed annoyance on his face. How dare he come to trouble him when he was doing something good? He suddenly felt worried.
I got angry and wanted to find that guy and give him a good beating to vent my frustration.
However, the big man also knew that he dared to disturb him when he was doing something. There must be something important.
He lifted up his pants, kicked the woman's shoulders away, and strode outside the Meteor Tent. He saw a somewhat wretched, thin and tall thief standing outside. He had a long bow on his back, and a long and narrow handle on his left waist.
The sharp knife rose slightly.
"Oza, what do you need to tell me? If you don't have anything to say, believe it or not, I will peel off your skin and feed it to the monsters. Please tell me clearly..." The big man cursed.
When Ouzha heard this, his face showed an expression of surprise and excitement, and he waved his gestures with joy: "Boss, I just saw three people coming towards me outside. They are all young people, and one of them is a woman.
She is very beautiful. I know that the boss likes to play with training recently, so I think the boss will not want to miss such a beauty."
"Well, you're right. I'd better go see what that guy looks like. If that's the case, I'll count it as a great achievement for you this time."
"Thank you."
After the big man heard these words, he quickly sent ten people to follow him to the woods ahead to see what was going on. He had the strength of a quasi-knight peak, and even an ordinary knight could resist more than a dozen times, so he had considerable information about his own strength.
They walked along the rugged grass and soon saw three horses rushing towards them, two males and one female. The female was very sweet. Her long pale golden hair was tied in two braids and hung quietly on her shoulders.
A pair of towering virgin peaks were wrapped in silver leather armor, revealing a deep trench in front of their eyes, making all the boys secretly swallow their saliva. This little girl was really too much for them to control.
When Carlos saw the ten thieves rushing over, he didn't know what they were planning. He stopped first and pulled out the narrow and sharp swords from his waist. In the sun, he could see the faint golden light reflecting off the blades. He was smiling.
His face, following the battle, suddenly became as solemn as a sharp sword.
Okalid and Alec beside them also raised their swords and prepared for battle.
"Haha, you think you can subdue me with your ruthless tricks? You are really stupid. I asked you to try your terrifying strength. Don't be afraid then." The big man did not have a peaceful conversation with the other party at all.
Or the idea of deception, what can a few young people in their twenties do? Maybe they just think the adventurer is handsome, so they come out of the delicate family.
Because of this, after the big man approached the nearest young man with his sword, he raised it with all his strength. A twisted arc of light flashed in front of him, and a faint sound of the sword could be heard in the air.
He knew that his attack would seriously injure even a would-be knight, so he was very confident. He could already guess that the opponent's head was broken off by his attack, and warm blood gushed out.
Many people behind also guessed this idea and screamed.
"Boss, boss, you can definitely win."
"Looking at the boss using his own methods, I believe that guy will definitely split his head open later."
"I thought so too."
Many thieves expressed their thoughts with excitement on their faces. To them, this was just a small incident, and the boss could add to his glorious history.
bite!
Suddenly, a burst of golden sparks spattered out. Carlos drew out his long sword to block, then moved forward slightly to release five points of the pressure from the big man. Then, he quickly thrust forward with the sword. This
If there is no way to avoid the sword, then the entire right shoulder will definitely be completely destroyed.
The big man's expression was startled, and his heart was stirred up. He screamed loudly: "How is it possible? How could you have such strong strength? Damn it, I must have provoked someone who shouldn't be dealt with."
He knew that the young man in front of him who looked to be only twenty years old had swordsmanship even more powerful than his own. Just from the exquisite sword strike just now, he knew that he was at least at the level of an ordinary knight. Although he could resist an ordinary knight dozens of times, the result was that
Better to die.
All the thieves watching the excitement were petrified. They all stood there and couldn't believe it. Their boss, who had always been tough, actually ran away immediately after his opponent struck a sword. This level was terrifying. He was so silent that he couldn't speak.
.There are even very few thieves who don’t believe the situation before them, rubbing their eyes and silently telling themselves that these are all fake, that guy is nothing special, and that he must have been wrong to have such a situation. Otherwise, what happened to the boss?
You might lose to a guy like that.
It wasn't until the big man was about ten meters away from them that everyone looked forward in shock, realizing that this was the right thing to do. Their boss couldn't beat that guy.
"Haha. I'm also ready to take action. We must not let this kid Carlos steal all the heads. Alec, do you want to go with me to kill them all?" Okalid felt a fire coming out of his heart.
, up until this point, I didn’t have any fear in my heart, I just wanted to kill those guys completely.
Alec shook his head, with a hint of nervousness and stuttering: "No, you go and kill them. I'll find some weak thieves and kill them. You just deal with the strong ones."
The two looked at each other, and after deciding on a plan in an instant, they rushed into the ring of thieves and started killing them. Facing the quasi-knightlike Ocalid and Alec, how could those ordinary thieves resist it. Suddenly, it was like.
They were wolves among the sheep, and no thieves could stand in their way for a moment. Especially Ocalid, who was covered in blood after killing him. His face was crazy, and he kept waving the sword in his hand.
On the other side, the big man saw that his men were unable to stop him for even a moment, and he knew that he could no longer control those guys. He knew that it was more important to escape first, so he turned slightly and saw that Carlos, who was getting closer and closer to him, had not given up at all.
With his thoughts in mind, he was so frightened that he picked up his horse and ran away.
You're kidding! I'm just a quasi-knight, so why can I deal with ordinary knights? Let's escape quickly while there's still some time.
"Where are you running?" Carlos kept chasing after him. When he saw the opponent's horse taking advantage of the rugged road in the forest, he probably thought that one day he would encounter someone he couldn't handle, so he specially trained the horse to do that.
For example, when ordinary people encounter this situation and their team is not in trouble, they will definitely not continue to chase. After all, if you can't catch up with the opponent, it would be stupid to continue chasing. But Carlos is different. He is often warned by Grandpa Carl.
Remember to always be cautious and observe carefully. Fortunately, I usually feel that I have strong concentration, so I came up with three ways to deal with this situation.
He now decided to use a method to subdue him. With a brush, he touched his palm to his waist, and a long and narrow sword blade suddenly appeared with a faint cold light. When his arm shook, the flowing blade turned into a white stream of light and plunged forward.
The big man's horse lost its right hind leg. The big man's horse just screamed and fell to the ground.
The big man fell forward with inertia, and his right hand was hit by a giant tree. The giant tree fell to the ground, and the big man's right hand was also fractured. If he didn't find a way, he might be useless.
"Bring it now." Carlos drew out his sharp sword, tapped his toes, stepped on the horse's back, and jumped in front of the big man. He raised his hand and swung out sword light like raindrops, falling in front of him. The big man was instantly stunned.
With no ability to resist, he fell to the ground. An unusually large amount of blood flowed out of more than a dozen blood holes in his body...
"Okay, I'll kill you. I didn't expect that it would be so easy to get rid of the thieves for the first time. But fortunately, my grandfather's abundant technical experience can kill them so easily. I'll go back and join forces with them now, and keep moving forward." Carlos looked at
When the big man died and could no longer die, he finally felt a little relieved.
He knew that the Annies Forest was very large, and he would definitely not be able to finish it today. When resting at night, the most feared thing was a sneak attack from the dark. Thinking that he had an enemy lurking in the dark, who could attack him at any time, Carlos
I felt chills all over my body and felt very uncomfortable.
He walked to the warrior and found corpses lying on the ground. Okalid stood on one side, vomiting. Alec on the other side had a pretty face, which was also not very good-looking.
Carlos was slightly startled when he saw the situation in front of him. He obviously didn't expect it to be like this. He was immediately curious and asked how Ocalid could vomit there. As a result, Ocalid just said that he would be very happy after the killing.
He was not used to this situation. Carlos could only feel speechless about this.
They dealt with this group of thieves and continued to move forward, hoping to reach Glory City one day. As early as decades ago, Glory City, the most prosperous big city in the Glory Empire, made them very envious. This time they were burdened with a mission.
I am even more looking forward to it, and I feel embarrassed when I think of Master Grant, who has a relationship with Grandpa Carl.
A few days later, they left the Anlis Forest and moved forward. After experiencing countless troubles and unimaginable dangers along the way, they finally arrived at the border of Glory City. Even though the border was several kilometers away, the surrounding woods were also covered by
Cut it down and make a hotel.
Walking to a road, you can see the Glory City with city walls erected and full of towering buildings. There is also a huge aerial city suspended in the sky, with countless strange light beams suspended and rotating back and forth.
"Carlos, let's go, let's go to Glory City quickly to find Master Grant."
"Yes, it took half a year to finally get here. It took a lot of effort to get here this time, so we can't waste it."
Okalid and Yali spoke excitedly about what happened. For them, after working hard for so long, they can finally see the results.
Carlos nodded solemnly, and after seeing the crowds of people in front of him, he kept crowding inside. Fortunately, there was an ordinary knight behind him, so he felt comfortable walking inside. Soon, he came under the tall city wall.
There are two heavily armored knights standing on both sides of the city wall, each of them is an ordinary knight level. In the eastern region, the only ones that let ordinary knights guard the city gates are the Imperial Capital of the Glory Empire and the Glory City. After all, this lineup is too much.
luxurious.
Carlos walked to the city gate and spoke nervously: "Hello, do you know Master Grant? My grandfather and Master Grant are friends, and I want to come see him this time."
"Master Grant? Your grandfather, friend?" When the soldier heard this sentence, his eyes widened and he repeated.
"Yeah." Carlos nodded.
"Haha, you dare to say that you know Master Grant. Who do you think you are? How can you possibly know the legendary mage of Glory City? There are too many people who see you saying this every day. Get out of here." Soldier.
He curled his lips disdainfully. In his opinion, even the emperor was not capable of meeting Master Grant. This guy was clearly not a rich man because he wore such simple clothes. How could he possibly know Master Grant? (To be continued...
