Hughes nodded with a smile.
Alicia just knocked on the door. From the knocking, you can still hear that the material used for this door is really bad, and it is absolutely very thin, with at least thick.
"Alisia mentor?" After a moment, the door was opened, and a burly man with thick eyebrows and big blue eyes appeared in the crack of the door. The arrival is very surprised. But after a moment of surprise, he opened the door with a smile, walked aside, and made a please gesture to Alicia and Hughes.
"Hello, Master Arthur." Alicia took Hughes' hand and smiled at Arthur's instructor. She pulled Hughes to the front and introduced to each other, "This is my nephew Hughes, He admires your power very much, so I beg me to bring him over to meet you, take the liberty to disturb, and hope you don’t be surprised."
"Please come in quickly," Arthur's tutor smiled broadly and invited the two to the sofa in the living room. "How can I say bother? Teacher Alicia is a rare guest here. You are very happy to be here. You The nephew is also the same. What do the two want to drink?" The knight was going to get the red wine from the wine cabinet in the sofa bar, but both Hughes and Alicia saw that there were only two bottles in the cabinet, and one of them The bottle was half empty. They looked at each other and quickly said to the knight that it was unnecessary.
"You don't have to be busy. My nephew is your admirer. He wants to chat with you about the knights. Hehe, you know, teenagers like to run like the wind, and they are more handsome when riding a horse." Alicia smiled and touched Susie's head, and put her arm around his shoulder again, very intimate, "Mr. Arthur, do you think you have time?"
Arthur's mentor must have known the embarrassment of his home. He got up slightly, and then sat back home.
"Of course, tomorrow is a holiday, and today is okay. I have a lot of free time, huh. Boy, what is your name?" Arthur readily agreed.
"Hello, sir, you can call me Hughes. I feel very honored to see you." Hughes smiled and stood up to salute the knight.
"It’s nice to meet you, Hughes. Few teenagers like to listen to knights now. I don’t know what you want to know? Well, it’s true that the topic of knights can’t be discussed for three days and three nights. We’d better Choose a theme. And..." Arthur thought and smiled. He looked at Alicia. "Your aunt is still very busy today. If we can make a long story short, we can also give Alicia a mentor." Save a lot of time."
Alicia smiled and waved her hand, "Teacher Arthur doesn't need to control me. Since this kid is here, how could he be willing to go back to me without talking about it? Just talk to him and meet this. The child's strong curiosity. As for my role, it is to introduce Hughes to you, and I will not participate in the next thing. And, you are right, I do have work on it, so now Go back. Don’t disturb you, I wish you a pleasant conversation."
After speaking, Alicia stood up. She did have some work left, and she had no plans to stay here to chat with them. She neither understood nor cared about the knight's affairs. She just finished sending her father's orders and sent Hughes over. Moreover, as a daughter of a famous great swordsman, if you stay in Arthur's house that is not welcomed by other great swordsmen for a long time, I am afraid that people will have doubts about Lucas's attitude towards the knight profession. This was something she did not want to see.
Hughes quickly stood up and said to As Alias ​​in shame: "Aunt Alicia, I'm sorry, I've lost your time, but I really don't know...".
"Okay, don't worry about raising your hands. Hughes, take this opportunity to learn more about the situation of a knight from Master Arthur. The more knowledge you know, the more you will understand your path. Ha ha, don't care about me, I Let’s go, chat, Arthur, my lovely nephew will be handed over to you.
Alicia reached out and gently held Hughes’ mouth, smiling to stop Hughes’ apology. In addition to the relationship of interests, she is still very fond of this polite, red-toothed and handsome nephew, and she is very happy to do a small favor within a reasonable range.
"In this case, rest assured, I will help you take care of him, huh." Arthur's instructor glanced at Hughes thoughtfully and said to Alicia with a smile.
"So, goodbye!" Alicia nodded.
"Goodbye (aunt)!" Arthur and Hughes sent Alicia to the door, waved at her, and watched her go.
"Hello, lad, let's get to know you again, me, Arthur Astori, Grand Knight, hehe, this is my self-styled."
"Hello, my name is Hughes Holden, this year's freshman."
The two returned to the house and looked at each other. They both smiled, very relaxed.
When Alicia was there just now, the atmosphere was obviously depressed. Hughes thought about it but was inconvenient to ask, so as not to let the cheap aunt see the problem, she was already suspicious. Arthur also had some scruples. His relationship with Alicia was not good, and he nodded at most. In fact, Arthur will fall to the point where he is today, because the great swordsmen who prefer the profession of swordsman have made a ghost, and of course Count Lucas is one of them.
Now, Alicia, a savvy woman, is gone, and there is naturally a smoother communication between the two.
"Please sit down and have something to drink, I'm sorry, I only have this year's'burning'." Arthur's face was very relaxed at this time, a child, and his relationship with Alicia did not seem to be deep, then he There is nothing to guard against, anyway, apart from the work in the yard, he has nothing to discard.
Hughes now also has the opportunity to carefully observe the great knight who was once the famous king.
Arthur is not a beautiful man. He has dark skin, olive green eyes, two thick and thick eyebrows, straight eyebrows into the hairline of the forehead, big nose, thick lips, and a beard.
But his whole body was very clean, unlike most middle-aged men without wives, messy hair, tangled beards, suffocating alcohol, pleated clothes everywhere, and a dirty and sloppy Home.
Everything is very clean and tidy. It is easy to see from here that this tall and burly man is actually a careful and self-disciplined man. The kingdom's injustice did not make him decadent. The half-breasted breastplate hanging on the wall was still spotless and bright, and the faint aroma wafted in the room. These circumstances proved that he was still full of confidence in himself, and he was always ready to return to the world again. Prove yourself and prove that the Knight's Road is correct!
Arthur will bring the wine over and give Hughes a drink. The volume of this wine glass is not too small, and even Hughes, who has long regarded drinking as a habit, is a bit stunned.
"Don't you think I'm young?" Hughes asked with a smile after taking the glass.
"Small? Not small! Your physical exercise all year round, with strong muscles and muscles, strong muscles, and a fully consolidated level 5 cultivation base. Such a cup of "burning" has no effect on you." Arthur gestured to Hughes and then lightly Take a sip.
"Speak, boy, find me what I want to know? How chic are the knights? How screaming are women? Although I know you must ask that, although I have answered many times, I am still willing Answer you! Haha, for now, all you see is down, but in the not-too-distant future, the Cavaliers will inevitably become the most powerful profession on the continent. Boy, do you believe it?" Arthur asked with a toast.
"Believe!" Hughes smiled, and answered in a plain but unmistakable tone.
"Porridge~", Arthur just spewed out the wine in his mouth. Fortunately, he responded quickly and quickly turned his head to the side, otherwise Hughes might be embarrassed.
Arthur could not wipe off the water stains on the corners of his mouth. He approached Huss and carefully examined his eyes and expressions. He was astonished at Huss' performance.
"Haha~, I haven't heard such a comfortable word in a long time. One month? Two months? Or eight months? You really make people happy, young man, although you are not ridiculous." Arthur laughed. After refilling the sip, Hughes clearly saw that the wine in the other party's glass was immediately reduced by half.
Hughes didn't answer, still looking at Arthur quietly, with his gaze, no tremor, no dodge, clear and pure, that was the power of perseverance and condensation.
If this glance is only a flash in the pan, then it will not cause the Cavaliers to be cautious, because he has seen too much in this situation since he became famous. People who come to him and have this kind of gaze are already a good result. Half of the people like to bite back in the shame of not being able to reap the results and devalue the profession of knight.
But Hughes is different. One minute, two minutes... a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour... for an hour, Hughes sits so quietly, watching the careless, non-stop drinking cavalier, calm and calm.
When Arthur was about to finish his third glass of wine, he suddenly had an idea: Perhaps, should I give this young man a chance to explain his intentions?
Arthur tilted his head to drink the liquid in the empty glass, but put down the empty glass without adding it again. He raised his hand and wrapped his linen hair behind his head, and tied it with a string, so that his face was refreshing. stand up.
He smiled at Hughes: "Well, boy, you have a good spirit, then, talk about your intentions? Wouldn't you really want to be a knight?"
Hughes breathed a sigh of relief, the peace was broken, the smile on his face rippled out, and there was a trace of joy in his eyes.
"Why not? Since I'm here, I'm here to ask you about the knighthood, don't look at me younger. In fact, I have practiced the sword for almost ten years. The cocoon on the palm is proof." Hughes also raised when he spoke. In his own hands, he is very confident. Cocoon can prove his hard work and persistence to a certain extent. For a young man who wants to embark on an unknown path, persistence is undoubtedly the most important quality.
Arthur's eyes focused on Hughes's hands. He observed them carefully. Suddenly, he smiled with satisfaction, relaxed his body, and leaned back on the back of the sofa.
"It’s a beautiful cocoon. It seems that you have a good master. The position and size of the cocoon prove that you have received rigorous and correct training. Why not continue to practice. Although your qualifications are not the best in the world, if you can persist, 30 During the year, you are likely to become a great swordsman respected by everyone. This is not difficult. And..." Arthur smiled with a deep smile. "Knight, it is not enough to just use a sword."
Hughes was dumb, he did not expect the big knight to speak so straightforwardly, saying that the qualifications of his arrogant son were "not the first in the world." When he heard this sentence, he was not only embarrassed, but actually thought laugh.
"No one likes to listen to the truth, and I am no exception, hehe." Hughes laughed at himself.
"There are many reasons, but in front of you, I don't seem to have to list them one by one," Hughes replied after thinking for a few seconds, "Just say one of the most fundamental truths I have recognized. The swordsman's path, although straight Bright, but there are tens of millions of people walking on the road that is not wide, and it has been increasing. The road of the knight, although it is still dark after the big knight, but at present it seems that the people walking on it There are very few, and there are many of them who don’t have the confidence to turn."
This sentence clearly attracted Arthur's attention. He was surprised. This simple but deeply philosophical word should not be spoken from the mouth of a 14-year-old boy. However, this even aroused his interest in Hughes, and he was slightly excited in his heart.
After a moment of silence, the Grand Knight suddenly asked, "Have you killed anyone? I mean fighting!"
Hughes froze for a moment, nodded and admitted: "Of course, there are more than one!"
"What?" Arthur was really shocked this time. He wasn't talking about killing the irresistible slaves or prisoners. He was talking about fighting, and it was very clear. Not even he himself thought that a 14-year-old child would fight to kill the enemy. It is not a thousand years ago. Humans rule the entire continent. The Guangming Church guarantees basic peace on the continent. There are not many disputes between countries, of course, except with various aliens.
"You said you killed at least one person at this age?"
Hughes smiled, and he liked the incredible look of the other party.
"There is no need to lie to you, lord, just on my way to the king capital last month, my guard and I led a group of villagers and killed seven people. At least two of them can be completely counted on my head. , I cut off their heads with my own hands." Hughes preached to Arthur. His expression was still calm when he talked about it. In fact, the shadow of the murder was almost washed away in his heart. There were nausea and nightmares at first, but after a few days, he had adapted to the identity of the murderer. It is not that he is too vicious and ruthless, but that he understands who should kill.
Arthur stared at Hughes quietly, he could not understand the teenager in front of him. He said he was young, but his speech was well-organized and his performance was calm, and even what he said was actually deep. An excellent aristocratic heritage in the first two can teach him, but the last kind of depth can only be obtained by analyzing a lot of experience, not all aristocratic children can have it. Because depth means height! And there are always only a few people at the tip of the pyramid!
"If the psychological age matches the physical age, I will be more optimistic about him, but..." Arthur thought for a while, and finally shook his head in his heart. He and Hughes were too short to get along with. Not enough for him to think that Hughes is the true golden seed of the knighthood. Hughes is still too young, giving a strange sense of abnormality. If someone has tried their best to set a trap, such words are not impossible to teach.
