Chapter 76: The Book of Sages that is a Little Hot
"ah."
Arnold made a soft noise. Because he was weak, it sounded like a groan. Arnold was not only seriously injured, but also had a fever.
At this moment, Arnold opened his eyes helplessly and stared blankly at the sky.
He didn't even have the strength to turn his head. He really wanted to see the forests on both sides of the road. As a Kurdish thief, Arnold's favorite thing was Pompeii.
Because this is my hometown, my hometown.
As long as you stay here, you will find peace of mind. You will also recall the happiness of being a civilian when you were a child.
Really, Arnold was very happy when he was young.
As he gradually lost consciousness, pages of memories opened up in his mind like a book, and finally settled on Arnold's childhood.
There were two little boys sitting on a pile of hay in the village. One little boy was very strong, this was Arnold. The other little boy was very thin, this was Ajin.
Akin is Arnold's friend.
"Arnold, I want to become a knight." Akin swung his short legs with a look of determination on his face.
"Knight? Only the lord's family and the Iron Horse family can produce knights. We are commoners and will never become knights."
Arnold looked at his friend blankly, wondering what his friend was going crazy about.
knight?
It's like a star, out of reach.
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that outside of Pompeii, there are many knights from civilian families. Although they have no surnames, they have power that can rival the noble knights. As long as I become a knight and gain extraordinary and powerful power, I can
If you are sick, I can play with you."
Ajin said hopefully.
This is a sad story. Akin is a frail and sickly child. Arnold is Akin's only friend. Akin hopes to play with Arnold.
Become a knight, become a powerful knight, and you will be healthy.
This is Ajin's idea.
"Well, we will become knights together in the future." After hearing this, Arnold immediately said.
"It's agreed."
"It's agreed."
The two little boys linked their fingers together and made an oath.
The screen changes.
It was a gloomy rainy day. Some people were wearing black clothes, carrying a small coffin, and heading towards the cemetery in the distance.
Amidst the patter of raindrops, the sound of crying could be heard. Arnold was among them.
Ah Jin died. This frail and sickly child died in the summer.
Arnold has been alone ever since.
When Arnold was young, he walked out of Pompeii and eventually became the thief Kurd. His purpose was very clear, to become a knight and walk on a powerful and extraordinary road.
Going farther and farther, farther and farther.
Eventually, Arnold became an intermediate knight.
In Arnold's hometown, Pompeii territory. Among the Pompeii knights in the past, the most powerful ones were only the intermediate knights.
Arnold, as a young boy from a civilian background, completed an incredible counterattack.
The memory pictures turned over page by page, and finally settled on a few days ago.
Arnold walked out of Pompeii again a few months ago, with the purpose of selling off the stolen goods and getting rid of the hot Book of Sages. Of course, there was another reason.
The Pompeii family gradually became stronger, and as the number of knights increased, Arnold became more and more uncomfortable staying in Pompeii's territory. He was very worried that his identity would be revealed, and he might not be able to leave by then.
Only by quickly disposing of the Book of Sages, obtaining unimaginable wealth, and obtaining a supply of potions, will Arnold choose to return to Pompeii and plan to be promoted to a senior knight.
As long as he reaches the level of a senior knight and has an extraordinary status in the huge Prussian kingdom, Arnold will give up his Kurdish identity and choose to become a noble.
Go to the royal capital, seek refuge with the king, and find a way to become a court noble.
This is a long-term plan.
But the Kurds fell into trouble, into the hands of a betrayer.
In a very windy, fast, very cold weather, in a dense forest, Arnold was covered in wounds. He was exhausted and panting.
There are knights all around, exuding bursts of chilling aura.
The leader is an intermediate knight, Arnold's friend.
"Arnold, you are injured. It is impossible to escape under such a lineup. Obediently offer the Book of Sages, and I will give you a pleasure."
Arnold's friend said this.
"Don't even think about it."
This was Arnold's answer. He was panting, but extremely determined.
What followed was a brutal fight and an escape. In the end, Arnold escaped. With his strong fighting ability acquired through many years of being a thief, Arnold escaped.
But the fuel was exhausted, and before his death, Arnold returned to his hometown.
Pompeii.
And Arnold planned to pray for this generation of Pompeii knights for one thing.
"I hope I can make it to Pompeii Castle and meet the Knights of Pompeii." Arnold's body was very, very cold. He wanted to reach out and touch the Book of Sages in his arms, but he couldn't do it.
His consciousness gradually blurred, leaving only a strong obsession that kept Arnold going and holding on.
Make it to Pompeii Castle.
Luther met Arnold.
The members of the purchasing team who picked up Arnold, at Arnold's request, came to the castle to see Old Sol, the knight of Pompeii, but Old Sol went out to attend the aristocratic activities of the six major families.
So the current Pompeii Castle only has the next generation of Pompeii knights, Luther Pompeii.
So Luther met Arnold.
In a clean room, Arnold was lying on a clean bed, being taken care of by a maid. In fact, the maid was too scared to come close, because Arnold's injuries were so severe that it seemed as if he would die in the next moment.
When Luther came in, he let the diligent maid go. Luther frowned and glanced at Arnold, and said: "You claim to be from Pompeii, I believe you don't need to lie to me. Don't worry, I will find you
The best doctor will treat you."
In fact, Luther knew that this man should be dying soon.
But Luther didn't mind giving this dying man a little hope of life.
It can be regarded as comfort before death.
As for why this Pompeii man named Arnold suffered such injuries, Luther was actually not curious.
Because Luther's strategy has always been to grow insignificantly, it is best to grow until he is invincible before going out to make waves, which is exactly what he said.
If you don't make a sound, it's enough. If you make a blockbuster, it will make a big difference.
Before then, Luther didn't want to cause trouble.
Arnold's consciousness was very vague, but he knew about the next generation of Pompeii Knights. During his several months in Pompeii, Arnold heard all the rumors about the next generation of Pompeii Knights.
genius.
The next generation.
Tomorrow the Knights of Pompeii.
"This is the Book of the Sages, and I dedicate it to you, the great Knight of Pompeii. But please also be vigilant, because a very powerful force is looking for it, and I lost my life because of it. Finally, I ask you to be merciful.
, and buried me in the cemetery of Pompeii, together with my friend Arkin.”
Arnold suddenly used his only strength and put his hands in his arms. After saying these words, he finally tilted his neck and died.
