"Well, it's almost time to set off again tomorrow." As usual, Dilang laid himself down comfortably on the bed, drank wine, and said lazily: "I wonder if it will be like Habei City again tomorrow.
Then, if there is another touching scene where many poor people, a group of soldiers and the city lord spontaneously gathered at the city gate and shed tears to bid farewell to the great hero Link Knight, it would be really spectacular!"
"Hmph!" Count Weir clearly knew that Dilang, his old enemy, was deliberately provoking him, but he couldn't reply, so he could only turn his head away with a groan.
It has been a long time since they left Habe City, but the scene when they left Habe City still makes people feel shocked even thinking about it.
After that day, the Lord Xie Lin became as good as a brother to Link. During those few days, he followed him closely and talked about everything with Link. And when they left, Xie Lin
The city lord not only led the ceremonial guards to escort the envoys out of the city gate according to etiquette, but also insisted on escorting them out of the ten-mile area, and repeatedly stated that he who was just at the city gate was a member of the Sakara Empire.
The Lord of Bay City is holding a ceremony to welcome the envoys of the Bavarian Empire, and now, as an ordinary resident of Bay City, he is sending off Link, the great hero who saved his neighbors and friends.
.
Of course, this statement made Count Weir a little depressed, and made Chippa keep shaking his head, but now the Lord Schelling basically didn't look at Count Weir seriously, and he was no longer as affectionate towards Chippa as before.
Moreover, the little princess's admiration for Link can basically be said to be not lower than that of Lord Xie Lin. Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied Earl Weir and Chippa are, they can't say anything more.
There are other actions.
But the scene that was even more unforgettable was when they met some people waiting outside the city to see them off.
At that time, the heavy rain had begun to subside, but it was still raining heavily. Habei City was originally built on mountains and rivers. There were not many stone paved roads in the city. The conditions on the roads in the mountainous areas outside the city were
It's even worse, especially after it rained for so long. It can be said that there is mud everywhere and it is difficult to walk. And in this season, the cold wind in the mountains is very difficult for the poor people who don't have much clothing to protect themselves from the cold and heat.
It could be said that it was cold and unbearable, but these poor people didn't care about these things at all. They supported each other and waited where Link passed by.
In the Saqqara Empire, a country with a strict hierarchy, these poor people are not only not qualified to participate in ceremonies such as welcoming the Bavarian Empire envoys, but even in Habe City, the area where they live is closed.
Even the city gate where Xie Lin held a farewell ceremony for Link and the others was not a place where these poor people could set foot. Therefore, although it was only a few miles away from where Link and the others left Habe City, for these poor people
Actually, it was necessary to start from the city gate at the corner and go around a long and difficult mountain road to reach this place, but they were still waiting here early in the morning.
Watching Link and the others coming from a distance, the poor people who were supporting the elderly and the young all knelt down to Link, shouting all kinds of words of thanks to him. Those few people who were rescued by his own hands
When he raised his head, his face still had tears in his eyes.
Except for City Lord Xie Lin who seemed to be aware of it already, Link and the others were all stunned by the situation in front of them. Finally, Link reacted and hurriedly jumped off the horse to return the gift and help those people.
The poor man, however, pulled one up and another one knelt down beside him.
Although Link did not rescue many people that day, his behavior in that situation could be said to be completely reckless in the eyes of these people, so he had long been regarded as a poor man by these poor people.
A hero.
For these poor people who have long been treated as little more than livestock in the Saqqara Empire, any show of care is enough to make them burst into tears of gratitude.
Count Weil is an official of the Bavarian Empire's military department, and Chippa is the captain of the cavalry of Perigueux, the minister in charge. Although he can't command thousands of troops, he is still a figure who is used to seeing big scenes. According to the
The number of people in front of me is nothing, but I don’t know why, in the purely sincere shouts of the poor, even Earl Weir, who has always been deeply concerned about this scene, feels that he is in his heart.
received a great impact.
As for Link, let alone this guy. Ever since he left Habe City, this guy didn't seem to know that such a situation had stimulated him. No matter which castle he passed after that, this guy would always go out and about as soon as he settled down.
Wandering around, often visiting various gathering areas in the castle, chatting with guys from different walks of life, saying that I wanted to see if I could find any place that could help these people.
"That boy just likes to be in the limelight. He doesn't have the mature and restrained demeanor that a noble should have. It's those guys with no taste who fall into his trap. Now I don't know where he has gone."
, since experiencing the incident in Habe City, Earl Weir made up his mind not to follow this guy anymore. He ignored the wolf's words, looked out the door, and said with a hum: "Now this guy wants to be a hero, he is crazy.
Now, my mind is filled with nothing else.”
Earl Weir has always been quite critical of Link's behavior. In his opinion, it is certainly not a bad thing to like to help others, but it is not necessary to choose someone like this to protect a small person.
When the princess was on a mission, she went to this foreign country to find trouble, and now they were not really in a safe and sound situation. As they got farther and farther away from Fort Yoroke, they had already passed through many suitable places.
Due to an ambush, people and horses ambushed their terrain. Although they had studied the situation, Lord Perigueux should not take action in his own jurisdiction. However, this was just their own conjecture after all. In this kind of situation,
In a situation where the enemy is in darkness and we are clear, and the enemy can take action at any time, caution and caution should always be the top priority.
Although this journey seemed to be completely peaceful, Link and the others knew that as they traveled further and further away, the time for Perigord to take action would inevitably be getting closer and closer, so of course it was even more important to fight.
With great vigor, this statement has already become an important theory used by Count Weir to refute the Earth Wolf and attack Link these days.
"Okay, this is what you keep saying." There was almost no day without a quarrel between Dilang and Count Weir. Of course, they were already familiar with Count Weir's skills, but they still couldn't mention them.
He replied with a spirited look: "When it comes to staying vigilant along the way, who can be better than me? With me working so hard to inquire ahead, what else can I worry about? Every time Knight Link comes to the castle
Just go out and look around to see if there is anyone who needs his help. It's better than you just thinking about the banquet and drinking every time you enter the castle?! I don't know who drank too much last time and had to be carried.
I don’t know what other things were going on in this guy’s mind when he went back.”
"Ahem, let's not talk about the past." Earl Weir rarely gained the upper hand in the fights with the Earth Wolf. Now he has become thick-skinned. He turned away and continued to look out the window and said:
"But at least it shouldn't be this time. You must know that this place is almost outside the jurisdiction of the Fourth Military Council. The lord of this castle is no longer appointed by the old fox Perigueux. If the old guy Perigueux wants to take action
, it is very likely that I would pick it in a place like this. You said it’s already this time, and this guy is still running out and running around, what’s going on?”
"There's no need to wait until you tell me. I've already checked within a ten-mile radius, and there's nothing suspicious." Dilang replied angrily: "Besides, there aren't many garrison troops in this small castle.
Before the delivery of the escort force, this guy Chippa has to continue to follow us. If we really choose to take action at this time, what difference will it make if we are in his jurisdiction."
"Jealous is just jealous, hehe." Earth Wolf did not miss any opportunity to attack Earl Weir. Seeing Earl Weir's depressed expression, he laughed happily: "But speaking of that, Knight Link is more of a hero than you.
, maybe I am doing something brave right now!"
Link really wanted to rush out and do something brave, but he was held back by Zipa.
"Why are you stopping me?!" Link blushed and stared at Chippa with an expression as if he wanted to eat someone. He pointed to the middle of the street: "You don't care about this kind of thing?!"
This is already the junction between the military and administrative area of Witz City and the slums. A guy wearing a Bronze Knight badge is standing in the center of the street, holding a riding crop and whipping two poor people who are wailing and rolling on the ground.
.
"My lord, my lord, please, please," an old man with gray hair tried his best to cover the child under him with his body. The bronze knight's whip hit him, causing a
He didn't even care about the bright red bloodstains. He just kept pleading to the bronze knight: "The kid is not sensible and ran to the wrong place for a while. I will take him back right away. I will take him back right away. Your Excellency."
There are a lot of them, don’t be like a child, just spare his life, just spare his life!”
"You two untouchables!" Several soldiers standing behind the bronze knight shouted loudly: "You actually dared to collide with Lord Kak's horse. Just beating you to death is considered an advantage for you, and you still want to beg for mercy?
!”
"Let go!" Link, who was being pulled by Zipa and hiding at the corner of the street, stared at Zipa, as if he would fight him first if he didn't let go: "If you don't let go, they will be beaten to death!
"
"Lord Link," although Zipa looked very dissatisfied with the arrogance of the arrogant guy in the center of the street, he still pulled Link with a wry smile and said, "This is no longer the jurisdiction of the Fourth Military and Political Council. According to the rules of the Sakala Empire,
According to the rules, I really have no position to interfere in the daily affairs here!"
"Daily affairs?" Link pointed at the knight who seemed to be unwilling to stop until he beat the two poor people to death, and said, "This is a crime in a busy city, killing people on the street. Can this still be considered a daily affair?!"
"In our Saqqara Empire, the hierarchies and statuses between different classes are strictly separated. In the castle, the poor must gather and live in designated neighborhoods." When Zipa talked about these things, he was born in the poor.
There was also a helpless indifference on his face, and he explained to Link: "According to the laws of our Sakara Empire, poor people can be killed on the spot as long as they set foot in an area that they are not supposed to enter, not to mention that they are not allowed to enter."
If you collide with this guy's horse, even if you kill them on the spot, no one can say anything."
"Oh?!" Although Link knew that there were strict hierarchies in the Sakala Empire, he really didn't expect that the hierarchical system would be so unreasonable. He looked at Chippa and asked a little confused: "We have been here these days,
The attitudes toward the poor seen in these castles don’t seem to be so harsh, right?!”
"That is within the jurisdiction of the Fourth Military Council, within the jurisdiction of Lord Perigueux." Zipa took a long breath and said: "If it weren't for Lord Perigueux, people like me and Schelling would be here.
People who have lived in the slums have no chance of getting ahead at all. In Sakara, Lord Perigord is probably the only minister who truly regards the poor as human beings. As for those bastards in other places.
Account noble..."
"Uh", Zipa looked at Link, and then realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing in a moment of excitement, and quickly turned around and said: "As for the nobles outside the Fourth Military and Political Council, they are generally relatively
The laws of the Sakala Empire are strictly enforced, so this kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Sir Link, it’s not that I don’t want to help them, but in this situation, whether it is you or me
, they are really not suitable to come forward in public."
Zipa observed Link's reaction, and as expected, Link, who was a bit impulsive, was slightly stunned after hearing his words.
In fact, these days, Zipa has basically been watching Link running together, and has also noticed this guy's behavior.
Although in his opinion, Link, this guy, always rushes around every castle and hangs out with everyone, which makes him somewhat suspicious of inquiring about information, but
It is undeniable that wherever this guy goes, he does put a lot of effort into helping the poor. Considering this guy's status as the chief security officer of the Bavarian Empire Mission, this is also true.
Chipa, who grew up in a poor family, still felt a little touched.
It's just that within the jurisdiction of the Fourth Military Council, it doesn't matter if Link is allowed to do whatever he wants. After all, as the captain of the cavalry of Lord Perigord, he can still shoulder this responsibility, and within the jurisdiction of the Fourth Military Council, it doesn't matter.
These castles, under the influence of Lord Perigord, were originally the places in the Saqqara Empire that least insisted on the distinction between the poor and the nobles. Therefore, the actions of the guard officer of the foreign envoy, although
Although it attracts the attention of passers-by everywhere, the vast majority of the comments received are positive praise and thanks.
However, after leaving the jurisdiction of the Fourth Military Council, if Knight Link continues to do this, then I'm afraid problems will arise.
After all, every empire has its own systems and customs. The hierarchy of the Sakala Empire may not be reasonable for an outsider like Link or a person like Zipa who comes from a slum.
, however, for the vast majority of nobles and officials in the Saqqara Empire, this hierarchical system is the tradition of the Saqqara Empire and part of the long historical heritage of the Saqqara Empire.
After all, Link is now a member of the Bavarian Empire's envoy. He represents the Bavarian Empire in the territory of the Sakara Empire. Therefore, if he wants to forcefully intervene in such a matter now, it will easily give people a Bavarian Empire.
The envoys of the Val Empire believed that their system was superior to the system of the Sakala Empire, and tried to impose their way of thinking on the Sakala Empire. Such excuses fell into the mouths of some thoughtful people. I don’t know what will happen.
What a quarrel. Compared with the late dinner in Habe City, such an incident is really likely to cause a major disturbance that can affect the relationship between the two empires.
Zipa believed that Link was a smart man and could easily figure out the reason behind this, and could easily hear the other meaning in his words.
"Lord Chippa", sure enough, Link quickly raised his head, looked at Chippa, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and said, "I just heard what you said is that you can't show your face 'publicly'
?!"
"That's right." Zipa also showed a sly smile and said: "After all, they and I are also fellow soldiers of the Sakara Empire. It would be really embarrassing to jump out and fight against each other in person, but if it were changed,
If you take off your coat and cover your face..."
"Good idea." Link patted Chippa on the shoulder: "Lord Chippa, why didn't I realize that you are such a fun person before? I'll leave the Bronze Knight to you, and leave the rest to me. Let's go!"
"Lord Link," Zipa was stunned for a moment, looked at Link, and showed a wry smile: "Everything else is fine, but I'm afraid we need to change our goals!"
"I happen to know that guy." Zipa turned his eyes to the fierce bronze knight standing in the center of the street and shook his head: "I can't beat him!"
