In the evening, Filin Hilter was sitting in his study, looking through the newly distributed educational textbooks, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Honey, I'm baking bread, go open the door," cried Erin, "Miss Maye is here." ”

"Got it. ”

He closed the book, went to the door of the living room, and pulled the deadbolt of the door, but the person standing outside was completely unexpected.

"Father, why are you here?" said Filin, surprised.

"Coming with His Royal Highness the Prince," patted the snowflake on his shoulder, "I arrived in the border town yesterday, and although I told them that my son lived here, they arranged for me a lodging in a neighborhood near the castle. ”

"Come on in, it's cold outside. Fei Lin hurriedly stepped out of the way.

"Well," said Sir as soon as he stepped into the room, he couldn't help but be stunned, "you have a ...... here Heating?"

"You know the heating?"

"I only found out today, last time I thought the castle was too warm to speak, and I thought that the heating equipment that His Highness said was a new fireplace, and this time I visited the town hall and found that there was no open fire in the house, and it was the same warmth, so I realized that this thing was originally heated by water vapor. He took off his coat and hung it on the stand by the door, "Wait...... I remember the last time I went to the castle, you didn't know what it was?"

"I only learned about it through the notice at the town hall," Filin poured his father a cup of tea, "and they always preach to the townspeople some time in advance before they do anything, and now the notice area of the square is even more popular than the convenience market." ”

"In other words, in just two months, His Highness has put this thing in the homes of ordinary residents?" smacked his lips, "I'm afraid it will cost thousands of golden dragons, right?"

"Our community is one of the first to install it, and the west and north sides are still being dug trenches. Moreover, it is said that water supply and heating are only part of the three-way project, and when the project is completed, we can live at night as well as during the day. ”

"The night is like the day?" Sir raised his eyebrows, "do you mean more candles, or oil lamps?"

"Neither, the people at the town hall said they would send lightning to everyone's home. ”

"Thunder...... Electricity?" the old man said stunned.

"I think it's incredible, too, but that's what His Highness's propaganda says," Filin nodded, "and with electricity, the town can be as bright at night as it is during the day." The strange thing is that the news sounds ridiculous, but in his heart, he feels that if it is His Royal Highness Roland, it may not be impossible to achieve.

After all, he is always creating new miracles.

"Lord Hilter, sir, hello, hello......" Erin also ran out of the kitchen, and in her panic, she was still carrying a half-baked bread skewer in her hand, and she almost didn't throw the bread on the floor when she bowed.

Jazz chuckled softly, "Hello, Miss Irene. Actually, don't be in such a hurry, I'm not hungry right now. ”

When Filin saw his wife's cheeks, they instantly turned red.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, "it's good to add two more dishes today, take your time, there's still a lot of time in the evening." ”

......

After the family dinner, Erin finally recovered from the initial nervousness, and after a little small talk, she began to pack up the dishes and tables, while her father took herself to the study, and Filin realized that he had something to explain to him.

Sure enough, after Sir sat down at his desk, he asked calmly, "Do you know what happened at the Longsong Fortress these days?"

"I know ......something," said Filin, in a wording of the organization, "I heard that there was a rebellion among the four great families, and that His Highness had left the town to quell the rebellion, and that was advertised on the bulletin board. ”

"The town hall even said such a thing?" said Sir was stunned, and then gave a general account of what had happened, "although I also sent someone to deliver the news to His Highness, I didn't expect him to come so soon. As a result, you should also be able to guess that the four major families were completely vulnerable in front of His Highness's troops, and the three families of Maple Leaf, Running Wolf and Wild Rose were completely wiped out, leaving only the dying elk, and our family was almost implicated. ”

"What?" Filmin was surprised, "Father, are you ......?"

"Of course not me," the old man sighed, "I'm too old to be involved in such a risky affair, but your brother is different, and he longs for a merit that surpasses yours to prove his merits as an heir. Unfortunately, he was in the wrong place. ”

"You mean that Miso was involved in the rebellion?" Film's face sank.

Sir nodded, "After the defeat of the rebellion, he was captured alive by His Highness's soldiers. On the day of the trial, I went to the square to see him for the last time. ”

"......" Filmin closed his eyes, although after he became a household name star knight, Miso targeted him at every turn, but after all, the other party was his younger brother, and it still made him feel quite uncomfortable to fall to this point in the end.

"Because he didn't have blood on his hands, and because he surrendered aggressively, he was sentenced to ten years of hard labor, and he should have stayed in the North Slope mine now. ”

The second half of his father's sentence made him come back to his senses instantly, "Ten or ten years of hard labor? I thought he was ...... by His Highness."

"Execution?" said Sir shook his head, "and by the last side I mean the last face of the head of the family, and from that moment on, he was no longer a member of the Hilt family. ”

"You...... Cut ties with him. ”

"That's right," said Sir with a deep breath, "I warned him a long time ago, but he never took it to heart, and this kind of man who treats the future of his family as child's play, and gambles the fate of all his family, is by no means the right person to inherit him." Although he said it categorically, his expression clearly revealed sadness, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened, "Now I only have you as a child." ”

"Father......" Filmin felt his eyes sour, and he involuntarily shook the old man's hand.

"I've never begged for anything, but this time, I want you to inherit the Hilt family, and I have a hunch that it will be revived in your hands," said the knight slowly, "and I have agreed to come with His Royal Highness the Prince this time, also in order to have a good seat in the future changes." ”

"But the position cannot be inherited, father...... The knighthood will also become an honorary title. ”

"I know, but you ignore the role of connections and experience, Your Highness said that the position is filled by those with outstanding ability, and with the experience and extended connections of your predecessors, your chances of obtaining the same position are far greater than ordinary people. He patted the back of his son's hand, "Even if you still want to be a teacher, I won't force you, as long as you can pass on the family name." ”

After being silent for a long time, he finally nodded, "I see, father." I promise you. ”

"Then I can be at ease," said Sir Hilter, reassuringly, "by the way, if you had a choice, what part of the work would you like to be involved in?"

"This ......"

"How about the Second Army?" I heard from the commander-in-chief Iron Axe, in addition to the soldiers who went to the battlefield to fight, it seems that the army will also form a department to make suggestions, and this plan will be tested in the Second Army first," Sir stared at Filin, "Actually, I know that this job is not your favorite content now, and if you really enjoy working with books, you will not choose to become a knight in the first place." The father's eyes burned, as if he had read through the thoughts in his heart, "You are still the same dawn as before, my child." (To be continued.) )
