Chapter 111: Noble allies

After coming out of the abandoned gold mines in Miretown, Rollin did not stop for a moment, taking boxes of spell crystals, the captive Saledo, and the seriously wounded Bernard, and hurried back to Vendôme.

He knew very well that the Destruction Miè Sect was so powerful, and the faster he did, the safer he became, and the less likely it would be to be killed in the middle of his life, as he had done a few times before.

So along the way, he traveled almost day and night, and the soldiers took turns resting on horseback, and when they rested, they only closed their eyes for a while.

On this march, when the sun was about to set the next evening, they crossed the Oriole Valley Road safely, and were less than ten miles away from Vendôme, and from the high ground they could already see the walls of Vendôme.

At this point, they are truly safe.

Luo Lin also breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the whole army to rest in place for half an hour to recover the energy that was about to be exhausted.

While he was resting, Adjutant Hansen came to report: "Sir, that man is awake. He said he wanted to see you. ”

The man was Bernard, of course, and Rollin nodded, walking towards the back of the line with Davi.

Because Bernard was really weak and he was a nobleman, Rollin arranged two orderlies to take care of him during the march. He had changed into clean clothes, and his face was much more rosy. When Rollin arrived, he was sitting on a fur laid on the grass, sipping the finch broth that the orderlies had fed him.

"Master Bernard, how are you feeling?" Rollin greeted. From Saledo's mouth, he already knew what this Bernard was doing, seriously. It's naïve. He also killed several soldiers.

But Rollin thought twice. In the end, he decided to hide this matter and not to mention it again, because this is not a democratic earth, and this Bernard is a high-ranking nobleman, and this kind of thing will not only hurt his face, but at most make him pay a few hundred gold coins. Gold coins are not a burden to Bernard, but losing face will make this guy hate him for the rest of his life. Very troublesome.

As for the soldiers who died in battle, Rollin decided to compensate them privately.

"Not bad." Bernard looked at Rollin, and then at Davi, who was following him, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

In this catastrophe, he figured out a lot of things. One of the most important points is that in this world, his aristocratic status, his prominent position is not entirely a good thing, this status means great benefits, but also greater responsibility.

Right. Blame when those lizardmen torture him. He was acutely aware of this when he wanted him to succumb and become a puppet who specialized in providing gold coins for the dark figures.

From this logic, he came to the conclusion that when a person has the ability to take responsibility, then he deserves to be treated as an equal, regardless of his current status.

Obviously, Rollin is such a person.

He came from a very humble background, an orphan who didn't know which woman's belly came out of, but from the occasional conversations of the dark creatures, he sensed the hatred and fear they had for this young man. Obviously, this Rollin has been saddled with the task of fighting some kind of terrible darkness, and he has achieved great things.

The other party even caught the terrible warlock, and it was incredible that he could see that the warlock was also following the group.

Such a person deserves his respect.

Think about what he had done before, when this warrior much younger than him was fighting against the darkness, he was doing some childish and ridiculous things for some senseless personal feelings, and even dragging his feet behind.

Bernard was very ashamed of what he had done, and even he despised his own actions, so he was not worthy of Dai Wei, who was willing to put down his body and become a battle mage with the army despite the hardships.

After a moment of silence, Bernard said, "Rollin, can we find a place to say a few words alone?" Just the two of us. ”

Rollin glanced at Dai Wei beside him, who nodded to him and stepped aside alone.

Rollin waved the soldier back again, and then said, "It's okay now, right?" ”

Bernard nodded, sighed softly, and then reluctantly stood up and bowed to Rollin with difficulty: "First I want to thank you for saving me." You know, I thought I'was going to rot in that cave. ”

"It's a coincidence." Rollin had no idea that Bernard would be there.

"Huh." Bernard smiled wryly: "I know you're curious about why I'm there." Let's put it this way, I was caught because they wanted me to provide them with gold to spend. ”

Bernard didn't want to go into more detail, his own childish behavior was a stain on his life.

Rollin admires this guy a little, he probably knows the methods of the dark sect, which is very cruel, which can be seen from the tragic injuries on Bernard's body.

But this Bernard, such a pampered person, can always persist without compromise, which is really a hard bone.

"Your failure to give in to torture is admirable." Rollin sincerely appreciated.

But his praise made Bernard even more embarrassed, he saw the dwarf Saledo, and knew that Rollin should have known what he had done, but the other party did not mention it at all, and his demeanor was very sincere, and there was no hint of sarcasm, which made Bernard feel more ashamed.

He smiled awkwardly and hurriedly changed the subject: "Don't mention this, this is what I should do." I want to ask, what are you going to do with those crystals? ”

"To the lord, of course." Rollin is rightfully authentic. If there is a large amount of gold coins hidden in the cave, he doesn't mind embezzling some of them privately, but these spell crystals are useless to him, and if he takes them out and sells them for money, it is easy for someone to find out about him, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Besides, if this batch of crystals is handed over, Vianna will definitely fight for him enough rewards, and he doesn't need to worry about being discredited at all.

Bernard shook his head, he smiled: "No, you don't have to turn it all in, there is no need for this, this is your merit, you have earned it desperately, you have the qualification to get some of it as a reward." Even if the lord knew. I won't blame you for that. This is the default rule in the military. ”

"And that said?" Luo Lin really didn't expect that he didn't know anything about these at all, and it was estimated that Dai Wei didn't know about these twists and turns, otherwise she would definitely understand them with him.

Bernard nodded: "In the army, it is acceptable to get two of the ten pieces of the booty, and when I get back to Vendôme, I will unblock the joints for you, then you can get three of them." ”

"This ......" Rollin was still a little uncomfortable. He used to be just a gamer, and although he later opened his own studio, gamers, both professional and casual, are generally more honest, so he is still a little unfamiliar with the complex unspoken rules between these relationships.

"Huh," Bernard smiled kindly.

He thought it was a common problem of people from humble backgrounds, who were either too upright and adorned themselves with high morals, or who loved money like life. Either way, the vision is narrow. They don't know that the essence of the upper class is actually just a vanity fair.

If it had been before, Bernard would have definitely made a mockery. But now, his mentality has become much more tolerant, it is true that Rollin is from a very low background and does not understand the rules of the upper class, but he also has many qualities that the upper class people do not have, he has a tenacious spirit, a sharp mind, and sincere qualities, which are very rare.

"Young man, the upper class is not as noble as you think, and there is also dirt and dirt here, but it is just an extra layer of glossy clothing. If you don't take these spell crystals you pay, the share that will eventually reach the lord's hands is only five shares at most, and it is better for you to take it yourself than to cheapen other moths who sit back and enjoy it, even if it is exchanged for gold coins and distributed to the soldiers, it is good. ”

Rollin has the advantage of being extremely adaptable, he is never entangled, once Bernard understands the truth, he accepts it very naturally, and smiles: "Then trouble you." ”

"Hehe, if only you could figure it out. You have to know one thing, that is, the lord is not short of money, what he lacks is talent, the kind of talent who can take charge of himself. Bernard laughed again, he had seen through this, and he knew that there were not many people in the whole of Vendôme who could see through this, and even the knight Ben did not understand it.

Thinking of the knight, Bernard smiled again, there is no doubt that the knight is very powerful, but he is a rigid person, if nothing has changed, then his current achievements are the end of his life.

In such a comparison, Bernard suddenly felt that this Rollin was very good, if it wasn't for the previous Dawei matter, and there was no prejudice in his mind, then he and this person should have become friends.

He did need a military figure with a strong force as a potential ally, and when he thought about it, he felt that he had to manage the relationship well.

He thought for a moment and then said, "I already have a general understanding of your mission this time, and to be honest, you did a very good job. In Vendôme, there has not been such a major event for more than a decade. Normally, what you did this time was enough for your lord to canonize you with a knighthood. ”

Bernard's words made Rollin's heart move, and he vaguely understood what the other party meant, and this person seemed to be courting him.

He immediately seized the opportunity and said sincerely: "I don't understand these things. ”

Bernard, of course, didn't mind explaining it to him, and he laughed: "In Vendôme, there are two kinds of jazz, one is honorary knighthood, which is for someone who has made a name for himself in a certain area, such as artists and the like. This kind of title doesn't mean much, it's just a glamorous status. The other is the military knight, also called the lord, which is also your current situation, you have made meritorious deeds, you will be knighted, and this title will be accompanied by a territory, a knighthood. But there are still two levels of this knight, the difference is whether it can be hereditary. ”

Hereditary, those who can be passed on to their children and grandchildren, are naturally a hundred times more precious than those that cannot be hereditary.

Speaking of this, Bernard looked at Rollin and smiled, "If you believe me and leave this matter to me along with these spell crystals, I can guarantee that your knighthood will be preceded by the prefix 'hereditary'." ”

After speaking, his eyes burned and he stared at Rollin. He has the intention of making friends, but in the same way, he also has to know Rollin thoroughly as a person, and if the other party is not worthy of him, then he will give up running the relationship and just return this life-saving favor.

When he heard the hereditary title, Rollin was already moved, he groaned, thought about the gains and losses, and made sure that even if Bernard failed, he would not have a big loss, and nodded: "Then trouble you." ”

Bernard suddenly laughed, he admired the courage of this young warrior: "Hehe~ Aren't you afraid that I will swallow your things?" ”

Rollin also smiled: "I believe in the promise of a man who has never bowed to the darkness in the face of torture. ”

Bernard's heart was full of sycophants, and he laughed: "Rollin, you will definitely get what you want, I promise." (To be continued!)
