Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 12:

In the far south of the mainland, in an unremarkable rural village in the Thunder Principality, Knight Howard James is patrolling the territory with his two sons. When the farmers saw the knight father and son passing by, they all stopped their work and paid tribute to them.

This tribute is almost pure courtesy. Compared with the rude Northwesters who lack culture formed by the pioneers, the Keen leaders who once popularized the **** of literature and art are more polite.

The James Cavaliers are already forty-two years old this year. For an intermediate-level knight, his body is almost at the end of the peak age, and will begin to decline after one or two years at most. In contrast, his two sons, 22-year-old Bonn and 18-year-old Sean, have grown up. The eldest son has even added a granddaughter to him. With a 15-year-old daughter, he is full of children.

Compared to Cavalier Divor Oss, who had only two sons, fifteen and twelve years old after his death on the battlefield, he was really lucky. When he first set out, Crick considered his weak strength and was familiar with the situation in the territory, leaving him to look after the house. But Divor can't help it-the lord is out, and he needs at least a knight under his command.

They participated in that earth-shattering battle. In the end, only twelve of the more than 100 people returned to their hometown alive. Not even one person can be complete, and even Lord Crick was seriously injured. In contrast, although the James Cavaliers have not been able to get a memorial enough to boast to future generations, at least he is still alive and unscathed.

This makes him very grateful. Although it’s hard to say, and although a little stupid, he still knows very well in his heart-Intelligence Nine is actually not very stupid, it is very common among fighters, and I haven't seen any Intelligence Nine. The fighters are considered mentally handicapped.

However. This incident also sounded a wake-up call for him. Since winter, whenever he patrols the territory and handles government affairs. Both have to bring two sons, hoping that these two guys will learn the skills that a lord should have as soon as possible. Fortunately, after he retired, he took over and continued to be loyal to Lord Baron.

The "baron lord" is naturally not Anna, but Crick. Although officially, the current Baron Keene is Anna Keane, in fact everyone knows that Miss Anna has neither the interest in being a lord nor the talent in this area, and the future of the Baron Keene. Still rely on Lord Creek.

"Oh! I don't know when the adult's body will recover..." Thinking of Lord Crick's current situation, the loyal knight commander couldn't help sighing deeply.

"Dad, don't worry! He will definitely recover!"

"Yes, how can a man who can come back alive from the battlefield of the day when the sun goes out" can be defeated by a mere illness!"

If Crick is here and use his "traveling ability" to look at Bonn and Sean, you will find that these two young knights have the same loyalty as his father, and they are both full of one hundred. .

Before he participated in that battle, the two young men were not very convinced by a poet lord. But when he participated in the terrifying **** battle, dragging the body cursed and severely injured by the divine power to **** the body of his best friend back, he also killed the evil devil on the road. His image in the hearts of young people suddenly became tall, like an idol.

What does the curse of divine power mean? It means that he has been involved in a battle at the level of the gods or even the Holy Spirit. How brave it is to get involved in such a battle as a mere mortal!

What does it mean to come back with the corpse of Spencer Smith? It means that when the knight died, he was beside him. The famous master died in battle, but he was able to survive and leave with his companion's body. This requires very accurate judgment and extraordinary wisdom. After all, he is a believer in the **** of literature and art, not the **** of luck.

As for the way back. Wounded and sick, she also killed Miss Margie, who had done evil many times and once became the head of the evil noble God Church in this area. That proves that he is a tough guy, even if there is only one breath left, he should not be underestimated.

Brave, wise, and strong. Coupled with his good governance and upright character, Lord Crick is like a hero who has emerged from myths and legends, enough to make these young people look up and admire.

Although Crick himself has repeatedly emphasized that there are many errors in these statements, and there are some random derived content. But everyone thought he was humble, and no one believed him.

Crick couldn’t help this. The more he explained, the more people felt that he was covering up—after all, the horror of the battle was known to everyone. The volunteers fought in the most dangerous place on the entire battlefield. Not only could he It's an ironclad fact that all you have to come back all the way back and you can bring back your friend's body.

...Even though Spencer was actually rescued from the battlefield by him alive.

There are also reasons why Crick is unwilling to damage his friend’s reputation. The relationship between Smith and his sister is a bit weird. It reminded him of some unhealthy works he had seen before crossing, so he repeatedly told himself, no Don't say anything that should be said, and even try to forget what shouldn't be remembered-he told Donaldson the same way.

Donaldson is the man who was hired by Margie, with a beard and heavy armor, posing as the legendary adventurer Paul.

Of course, this guy’s strength is not bad, he is also a total level twelve figure, although his loyalty is only sixty, but Crick has a plug-in, he can monitor his loyalty changes at any time, as long as his loyalty If it doesn't go down, sixty will make do with it. The most rare thing is that his intelligence is as high as sixteen, which is simply the level of the mage!

With such a high level of intelligence, it is no wonder that he was able to disguise a legendary powerhouse vividly with the strength of a mere mid-level warrior, and even the Spencer, who had almost stepped into the realm of legend, was deceived.

Paul is a wandering legendary warrior, who is a hero everywhere. However, in the past two hundred years, he has rarely appeared in the world. Some people think that he has enshrined the gods, and some people think that he feels that the main plane is not challenging, and ran to other worlds to take risks. The last known appearance of him was to rescue Smith brothers and sisters who were kidnapped by bandits and nearly killed more than 20 years ago.

It might be fate. In that dark and tragic battlefield, they actually met someone who knew Paul—the general of the southern theater of the orc empire, "Ironfang" Yiluo.

Paul is a half-orc, like Morani, a lion-man race. When he had not awakened to a half-orc, he used the name Leonard. At that time, he was called "the lion in heavy outfit." , Is a fierce general of the orc empire, and Yiluo are still friends. Later, Leonard awakened and embarked on the road of a kind ranger, parted ways with his old friends, and changed his name to "Paul"-Paul, a famous knight in history, dedicated his life to protection Weak and small, in nearly 400 years of life, has saved countless people.

The time has changed. Few people still remember the once "Reloaded Lion" Leonard, but the Ranger Paul is better known.

But... In fact, Paul has become a legend. The last time Yiluo met him was sixty years ago, when he looked very haggard. He sat alone on a rock by the lake and meditated without knowing that he was thinking. Something.

Yilo invited him to drink, and he said he stopped drinking.

At that time, Yiluo had an expression of seeing a ghost, the dignified "heavy lion", a hero who can drink dozens of catties of wine for a meal, actually stopped drinking? !

Ilo never saw him again. According to the orc general, Leonard, who didn't even drink alcohol, was no different from death.

Crick certainly didn't think so. He always felt that the ranger Paul must still be alive, maybe lost in the road of life? Or maybe it's just trying to retreat and level up? All in all, even if he can't see it, sooner or later this legend will be on the stage of history again.

...Of course, this does not prevent him from asking Donaldson to hang up his beard, put on a light armor, and return to the appearance of a normal warrior.

In other words, Donaldson’s real career is not even a heavy-loaded warrior. I really don’t know how he can act like a legendary heavy-loaded warrior!

He obviously doesn't even have a first-level bard rank!

Donaldson's current job is Crick's entourage, handling a lot of chores for him. This work is not easy, but it is not very hard. The key is that there is no danger. Donaldson is not weak, he looks very powerful, in fact he is not bold, he is completely a silver gun and wax club head. Asking him to wield his sword with others desperately, then he may not even be able to show 70% to 80% of his strength, and it is really to the point that he grows so big and has such a mighty face...

"Collate these pieces of information." As James Cavaliers took his sons to tour the territory, Crick was also doing something. After reading the regular news reports he bought from the Thieves Guild, he asked Donaldson to collect the information separately. Put aside those that may have a significant relationship with the territory, put aside those that may have a direct relationship with the territory but are not very important, and put them aside that is important but not have a relationship with the territory~IndoMTL.com~ put aside those that are not important .

Donaldson is quite familiar with this job, and he has done nothing wrong. As expected, he has been with Maggie for a long time.

At this time, the most important news is naturally the independence of the Griffin Duchy. But this news has nothing to do with Baron Keane, and it is not worth paying attention to. In contrast, it was the tumbling of the upper echelons of the Thunder Principality that made Crick a little worried.

Although Baron Keene sounds like a human being, it's not a big deal in the entire Thunder Duchy. The small confrontation between the big men before, caused heavy losses to the territory, and Crick almost killed himself. If you are involved in such political waves again, Baron Keene’s boat, I am afraid it may be beaten to pieces by the stormy waves at any time.

So Crick has been thinking about how to avoid these upper-level political turmoil and allow his small territory to develop slowly and peacefully?

After thinking for a long time, he sighed deeply, coughed twice, covered his chest, and shook his head helplessly.

After all, the cards in his hand are still too few and too small. There is really no good way to face this kind of big wind and waves... (To be continued.)
