The middle-aged man, of course, caught Mars in the boy's eyes. His face didn't change, but he smiled with satisfaction in his heart. He knew very well what kind of punishment was the most unacceptable for an aristocrat. This is the killer he used to motivate his son to train hard, and he has done so many times!
The reason is very simple. For the nobles who are always clean and elegant, if someone lets them do the work of supposedly lowly slaves, then it is definitely an insult to them, and the two must become Life and death enemies, in addition to throwing white gloves to demand a life and death duel, there is no other solution.
This principle also applies to Hughes. If he really turns into the protagonist of the horse dung comedy, then the mockery from the noble youth of the same identity is enough to make the boy blame and shame for a whole month. Of course, because it was his father who gave the order and had the identity of the head of the family, although the boy must be blaming, he would not make a joke about the duel between father and son.
"Move your hands and feet, adjust your breath, and focus your attention... When you feel that you can condense your body strength to two-thirds of the big sword, don't hesitate a bit and rush forward fiercely. , Aiming at the enemy’s neck, will severely break the enemy in front of him... yes, I want to see the look, I want to see the enemy cut off with a sword, the blade will be smooth enough to be used as a mirror You must continue to work hard, otherwise you will go to draw horse dung and become a laughing stock among your friends!"
The middle-aged man carefully watched every movement of Hughes on the side, and kept giving instructions in his mouth.
The fierce eyes, the hands holding the hilt, the strong muscles that support the pants on the thighs, the strong wind brought under the long sword... Every successful piece can arouse the heartfelt heart of a middle-aged man Appreciation and gratification, and of course more roaring with excitement: "Yes, that's it, well done!"
The sun quickly rises from the east to the center, and it continues to fall to the west. The time of the day quickly disappears during the frantic training. The voice of the middle-aged man is already a little hoarse, and the boy seems to have just been taken out of the water. In general, the face is wet and lulu pale, fiery red hair sticks to the scalp, and the beautiful white clothes have become grayish-yellow rags.
When the sun was blocked by the fort wall, the hundred swords were finally finished, which almost exhausted all the strength of the boy. He was so exhausted that he could barely stand upright by leaning on the sword, waiting for a middle-aged man The last instruction.
The middle-aged man is still staring at Hughes, but at this time his eyes are much softer than in the morning, compared to when he was training. From the servant's side, the eyes at this time finally had the appearance of a father. Before...oh, it was more like the devil was treating food!
"Shuth, you are doing well today! Cold enough! Ruthless enough! Focused enough! Powerful enough! Skillful enough! Tough enough! I am satisfied with the completion of your practice! I tell you the good news, now you are in addition to grudge , Already fully equipped with the capabilities of a junior warrior! I am very satisfied!" The middle-aged man's eyes showed joy. Although he still didn't want to laugh out loud to destroy his cool image, he couldn't control the muscles on his face, so his expression was very weird.
This situation is extremely rare for a senior swordsman.
Hughes raised his head violently, and his calm, still-water eyes also fluctuated, and the fluctuations became more and more intense, like boiling water. The hot feeling made him unbearable.
"You...you haven't said that to me in a long time!" Hughes stared at his father's eyes, his voice strangely weird. Although in front of him was his biological father, he still felt uncomfortable talking like this. In fact, since he was sensible, he didn't even have much memory of normal conversations with his father other than replying to commands.
"Really?" The middle-aged man froze for a moment, then turned his head to the side, revealing an unspeakable faint sourness in his eyes. He suddenly blamed himself, "Yeah, when did my son and I lose normal conversation?"
But immediately, when his gaze faced his son's gaze again, his expression returned to coldness, which made his son's gaze gradually return to silence.
"Very good, the soldiers who are not cold enough and hard enough usually die quickly!" The middle-aged man turned around and flicked the hand, and the big sword choked back like a long eye. The scabbard standing on the ground, the servant in the dark quickly ran up to take away the big sword.
"Come with me, come to my study, and now you have the right to see some of the things in your home!" The middle-aged man walked towards Qianbao, even when he was walking, his back still looked like a fine iron The javelin is straight and sharp.
The boy's face changed when he heard the words. He first fixed his gaze on the back of his moving father. Then, he also took a big step to follow him, like that, even a little urgent.
"Sir Viscount Ann!" As the two returned to the fort, there were maids and guards standing or patrolling along the way. When they saw him passing by, they immediately sent the manners in their own way, the same meticulous.
The father and son went to the third floor of the former fortress one by one, and stopped outside a copper-yellow door. At this point, the middle-aged man turned and pointed at the door and told the boy, "Push it away!"
The boy glanced at the door, his eyes narrowed slightly, his upper and lower lips gently squeezed, and then took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, and pressed his hands firmly against the door.
Then he stepped back and stepped on his right foot slightly, his waist slowly exerted force to his hands to test the door, and the door did not move! Add another 20%! The door remains still! Adding 40% of the force, although the door shaft made a slight creak and friction sound, it still did not move! At this moment, the boy's eyes showed incredible, but more was a little angry, this is that he felt a little humiliated and angry that he could not open a door!
Add another three and a half! Squeak~, finally, in the long squeak, the door moved slowly, a gleam of light emerged from the exposed door slit, flashed on the boy's eyes, the boy could not help turning his head, exerting the last bit of force, the door finally accelerated The speed is fully opened, and the whole picture of the study is also displayed in front of the boy.
The space inside is not too big, nor is it luxurious like other rooms, but there are long rows of tall bookshelves standing on three sides of the wall. Many books on the vertical axis and one scroll are arranged neatly on the shelf.
In addition to this, there is a large desk in the middle of the room with three bright candlesticks, a bottle of ink and several quill pens.
After careful observation, Hughes found that there is nothing special here, it is exactly like an ordinary study.
This scene made the boy who was looking forward to it deeply sighed, shook his head and followed the middle-aged man listlessly into the door.
After entering, the door closed silently without people, and the boy's eyes narrowed, but he didn't ask more.
"Does it feel a little ordinary, worse than other rooms at home?" The middle-aged man walked to the desk, pressed one hand on the table, and turned back to ask the boy who had returned to a dull state.
The boy also had to admit that the other party's posture is indeed quite elegant and handsome. It shouldn't be seen by any lady or lady, otherwise they will surely faint on the ground with both hands.
Of course, the premise is to remove that centipede first.
Hughes nodded, then glanced at the door that had just closed automatically and still couldn't hold back: "That door seems to have some problems."
At this time, the middle-aged man was already sitting on the big chair behind the desk. He watched his son's performance quietly. His right index finger tapped on the table, and his crisp voice echoed in the quiet room.
"You're wrong, Hughes, that door is exactly the simplest and least level thing in this room. The door panel is only equipped with a self-propelled device. The alchemist calls it the elastic ring, a very simple gadget! "
Briefly explain the reason why the door panel is unattended. The middle-aged man pointed to the bookshelf opposite him and said, "If the importance of things in this room is divided into three levels, then the scroll on the bookshelf opposite me is the third level. !"
"You can take it out and take a look." The middle-aged man pointed.
Hughes certainly can't let this opportunity to explore the mystery of the study, even if it is only a third-level document, he has never read it before, or even heard it. As the family's sister-in-law, this is indeed incredible, but in fact, his father did this to isolate him from all family affairs! In addition to practicing swords, his mission is to practice swords!
Reaching out the first scroll on the left, Hughes subconsciously picked it up. It didn't feel heavy, but it was still something of weight.
Spread it on the large desk, and a sketch composed of horizontal and vertical lines immediately appeared in front of Hughes.
"Tactical arming plan! Guangyao City tactical arming plan!" Hughes was immediately attracted by the figure, and he gently read out the line in the middle of the top of the picture.
At the next moment, his eyes had found his place. The middle of the northeast corner of Guangyao City. A smaller castle extended two lines to connect with the fortress walls of the whole city. Home yard. The small castle is where he lives.
Hughes silently recalled the size of Guangyao in his heart, then looked at his own size on the map, and frowned. He wondered if the territory of a Viscount was only this large?
"You're wrong!" The middle-aged man has been observing Hughes' performance. When he saw Hughes frown, he already understood what his son, who is not good at speaking, was thinking.
"Of course, the Viscount empire cannot be just that. In fact, the castle of the Glorious City is just a small castle belonging to the family. Because it is safer and more prosperous, the main family members live here. The real territory of the Horton family is... , Please take the fifth reel on the second floor of that shelf."
Hughes took it by word. The size of the map unfolded again is no different than before, but Hughes still sensitively finds that it seems that the area represented by the map has increased many times. Because Guangyao City occupies only a small area on the map.
"The guess is correct." The middle-aged man saw this when he saw Hughes, and nodded slightly, pointing to a long grid with numbers in the lower right corner of the map: "The same size paper can represent areas of different sizes, this is what The map, which can clearly indicate the city, mountains, rivers, forests, and other special geographical conditions, this is the map, a great discovery of the sages. It makes the war more complete system, changes the army To be more purposeful, to make the areas of various forces clearly visible, which saves a lot of trouble, even war!"
"And the greatest effect, with the map, human beings can expand more purposefully and retain their land more successfully. This is a great luck for humans, and of course, it is also the misfortune of the orcs, elves, and garbage races! However, we You don’t have to worry about the beasts’ pain. The beautiful and rich land should only exist under the feet of human beings.
The middle-aged man frowned in disgust, but soon loosened it.
"It's far away. Let's get back to the topic. The second picture you brought is a map of the Jihad Province in the Allianz Kingdom. The city of glory is in the northwest corner of the Jihad Province, which is separated from the Orc Lain Empire. Looking across the sea. And the Battle of Gunglu in the front is one of the forefronts of our human country against the orc empire." The middle-aged man nodded the map and sneered unconsciously in his mouth.
"Do you know why we are called the Jihad Provincial Province? The whole province is only concerned about the continent, and only our province is called the Jihad, even if it is against the Sicilian Empire on the front line of the Hai nationality and the Biel Empire on the front line against the elves. Nowhere has such a glory been sealed by the pope with the word'jihad'."
"His Majesty the Pope?!" The boy was a little surprised, and immediately showed a respectful expression on his face, slightly bowed his head: "His Majesty the Pope's deep meaning, how can my ordinary people like me understand, you asked the wrong father, Master."
This sentence obviously choked the middle-aged man. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth, but no one could see the disapproving look on his face.
"Jihadist Governorate is one of the three major provinces of our Allianz Kingdom. It belongs directly to the Kingdom. The highest title here is the six earl adults, basically all are the royal children. Well, these six areas, we are here, Under the jurisdiction of Lord Alpha Phoenix, Guangyao City is his enclave. The location of our family territory is here. Here, it is very close to Guangyao City. The area of ​​the enclave is about 300 square kilometers. She is large enough to be very Good support for the proliferation of our Holden family."
"Three hundred square kilometers?" Hughes was shocked. According to the news he heard from his friends, most of the earl's territory was this area, even smaller.
The middle-aged man was full of pride on his face at this time. His fingers drew a large circle on the map and said seriously: "Of course, you heard it right, it is three hundred square kilometers! Remember, Hughes, This piece of land was exchanged for the lives of countless members of our family for six hundred years. The blood of our family is in this piece of land, and it has long been united with her and cannot be separated."
"Yes, my father!" Hughes was equally serious. He stood upright and looked directly at his father's majestic eyes. He felt something was jumping in his veins, he was heating up all over his body, and his temples were already swollen.
"Very good!" The middle-aged man is very satisfied with his son's condition. The pride and glory of the family have long been deposited in the blood of his descendants. Each generation of Horton is proud of this and will use his life to defend everything to her.
"Let’s take a look at other places. On our left is the province of Zia, which belongs to the Grand Duke of Chelsea and Prince Feiman, on the right is the province of Maru, most of it belongs to His Royal Highness Prince Maru, and most of it belongs to Grand Duke Rada. I think you should not have the opportunity to live in these two provinces. Well, take the only scroll on the third floor, yes, that is the one." After the middle-aged man finished speaking about the general territory of the Allianz Kingdom, he let Xiusius took the only map scroll on the top of the opposite bookshelf and laid it flat on the desk.
A wider world appeared immediately before Hughes.
"Ah!" Hughes marveled at the huge area of ​​the continent, but the Allianz Kingdom only occupied about 15% of the area in the West, which seemed unremarkable.
"Great, in the kingdom, our Allianz Kingdom is the largest country, only smaller than the three major empires, ranking first in all kingdoms, whether it is economic power or military power. And if we only talk about military power, then We can compete with the two great human empires." The middle-aged man bent his arms and squeezed his fists while talking, which seemed very powerful.
"It's because of Your Majesty the God of War!" Xie Xiu Si also a little excited. For the only kingdom in the world that has its own true god, all citizens have unlimited respect and belief in the God of War, and even humans across the continent have great respect for the God of War.
Because if it were not for the human of war to be born, human beings might still be slaves to the orcs!
You must know that the beast talents under the protection of the beast gods of medium divine power were the masters of the continent 12,000 years ago, and the two races protected by the elven gods and dwarf gods with weak divine power can only survive on the continent. In addition to this, all other races are orcs' food and slaves, including humans. This situation could not be changed until the of war appeared. The mankind got a chance to breathe, developed rapidly, and began to compete with the orcs for mainland dominance. The millennium war began.
The ultimate victory for mankind is the coming of the Lord of Redemption.
The Lord of Redemption is a true with powerful divine power coming out of the world. According to the teachings of the Guangming Church, the Lord of Redemption is one of the twelve main gods in the most powerful of all planes, the Bright God, with infinite power and redemption. All sins will allow born and guilty souls to have eternal light and happiness in heaven.
Of course, the people at the bottom of the mainland do not know how powerful the Lord of Redemption is. Everyone only knows the fact that 10,000 years ago, when the Lord of Redemption came, the boundless radiance shrouded the world, and the powerful medium divine beast He was seriously wounded and fled back to the Kingdom of God. The elf who was with his alliance escaped to the Kingdom of God and fell into a deep sleep. The dwarf was completely wiped out, and the dwarf family fell completely.
As for the human of war, under the call of light, he joined the light system and became the slave of the light redeemer. However, the Lord of Redemption gave the God of War a high degree of autonomy and specifically designated the Allianz Kingdom as the missionary site of the God of War.
"Of course, all the glory of Allianz belongs to His Majesty the God of War, he is omnipotent!" The middle-aged man instantly sinks into a fanatical emotion, his eyes are full of piety, and the chaos is not enough to hold a trace of other feelings , Spontaneously performed a soldier ceremony.
"Everything is glorious!" The same is true for Hughes, with his right hand clenching his fist and placing it on his left chest.
The father and the child stood still in this way, letting the blood in the body burn, boil, and then slowly cool down.
Both men are real warriors, and they both understand that fiery heat can only spout like a volcanic eruption at a certain moment in the heart.
"Although you are under the age of fourteen, I think you should come to the study before you leave. This is just the first step, Hughes. When you are really fourteen, you will be in the Family Chamber A chair, you will be qualified to listen to all the family decision-making meetings we allow, which will make you mature faster and understand the responsibility and glory of the shoulders of an adult noble." The middle-aged man's words shocked Hughes again. .
However, he immediately thought of a question: "Before leaving?"
"Where am I going?" Hughes was curious. He always thought that he would survive to the age of sixteen under the brutal training of his father. In the process, he could not leave Iron Tree Castle half a step.
Hearing the question, the middle-aged man was silent. A strange light flashed in his eyes, including nostalgia and reluctance, but more of a decision. After a while, he continued: "Allianz Wangjia Warrior Academy!"
Huston was silent.
"Why, you don't want to?" Of course the middle-aged man saw the boy's performance and asked strangely. The Allianz Wangjia Warrior Academy is the most powerful academy in the entire continent. His dean is even an adult swordsman. His Royal Highness is one of the only in the whole continent.
"You are now fourteen years old and qualified to say what you think." The middle-aged man was hesitant to see the boy and was unhappy, but he also understood the reason. Considering the age of his son, he decided to open his mouth and give his son the qualification to express his thoughts in advance. Of course, it is another matter whether the son's idea can be realized in the end.
"Fargaret will go to the Jacques Knight as a knightly servant recently. I think..." Hughes thought of the tall horse and the heroic posture of the knight, and finally he could not resist his desire, breaking through the principle that he insisted for a long time. It is not to actively express all ideas, especially to the father.
"No!" But he didn't expect to be ruthlessly interrupted before he had finished speaking, and his father's voice was as severe as during training.
"Why?" Hughes' angry eyes met his father's cold eyes. He suddenly found himself so angry, even more distressed than his father's scolding during training.
"Horses and chic will not bring you any safety benefits. On the contrary, bulky horses will affect your sword swing and dodge, and ultimately make you fail and die, and vanity on the battlefield is even equivalent to suicide. I will never agree that you become a knight. Hughes, you must understand that our warriors have their own gods, we have the strongest fighting spirit and the most perfect fighting skills. And knights have nothing but a beautiful horse , I haven’t even heard of the existence of a saint in the knight, which just proves that the profession of knight is a profession with limited or no future. I will never allow you to join him, he will destroy you. It will destroy you. , Of course, ruined the Horton family, a 600-year-old powerful family that emphasized the glory of the soldiers!"
"Now it does not mean that there is no future! There are already knights who can defeat the great swordsman in the capital of the kingdom. They use a five-meter steel gun. When they are charged, they can even kill a team of twenty senior swordsmen and kill them. The power is very strong. Father, you should be able to imagine the power of the five-meter steel gun nailed to people, especially when the horses are running. Senior swordsmen are as thin as paper in the face of this power. This is by no means There is no promising profession, on the contrary, this new powerful knight is like the rising sun, they will eventually shine on the earth!"
Faced with the shouting eyes of the boy, the middle-aged man quickly thought in his head: "Can he defeat the great sword master? Impossible. Facing the extreme sword energy of the great sword master, the fat horses are like living targets! It is not enough to counter the sword gas, ordinary metal is impossible, even if it is made into a five-meter steel gun, it is still impossible!"
