Chapter 8 The Amazing Decision
Probably because he used to be a fitness trainer, Abel has mastered the various combat movements of the knight very quickly, and he can already achieve the standard and speed.
The use of bows and arrows in the family heritage, riding and spear charging, sword and shield skills, large shield skills, etc., have been mastered after half a year of endless training, which makes the elder brother Zack complain very much about the injustice of the gods. , it took him years to master these skills, and his father, Knight Bennett, always made Abel feel that something was about to happen with a thoughtful look.
In the past six months, Abel did not use the master-level 'gas condensing potion'. Since he learned about the importance of knight inheritance from his father, he decided to study the family knight inheritance first, and then find a chance to take the master-level 'gas condensing agent'. Medicine', I didn't expect that it had only been half a year, and without using any drugs, Abel was already a 2nd-level apprentice knight.
At dinner, Abel, who had just sat down, noticed that the atmosphere was wrong. Mother Nora's eyes were a little red and swollen, while her father Knight Bennett's expression was very firm. Before dinner, Knight Bennett stood up and faced Abel. Said: "My son Abel, you are the most potential child I have ever seen. The gods have given you all wisdom and bravery, but the Bennett family is unable to cultivate you. This is the loss of the Bennett family. It is also a blasphemy against the gods.”
Knight Bennett glanced at his wife, then at his two sons, and said in a low voice: "I've made an agreement with my good friend Marshall Harry Knight, for the next few years. , Abel will learn from Marshall Knight, and if he is satisfied, his unicorn coat of arms will be handed over to you."
Marshall Knight Abel knew him. He was the best brother, best comrade in arms, and best sibling of Knight Bennett. The two of them participated in the war against the orcs together, died together, and returned to their hometown together.
Unlike Knight Bennett, Knight Marshall had no children and his wife lost her life in an accident, while Knight Marshall never married again and kept in the castle where his wife was buried, while Knight Marshall led the way. There has never been an heir.
This is a painful choice for Knight Bennett, not only because Abel Bennett will be renamed Abel Harry, but because his own son will truly leave his family, will represent another family, will put the Another family's coat of arms was printed on clothing, on armor, on flags.
The arrangement of the genius second son Abel has always been a headache for Bennett Knight. He has thought of many ways, including going to seek the businessman father Case of his wife Nora who has not been in contact for a long time, but considering that Case has no conditions there If you can train a knight, you can't train a knight just by having money. Plus Case is far away in the Principality of Koror, this idea is over.
Knight Bennett's full name is Ceci Bennett. The reason why everyone calls him Bennett is that on this plain, the Bennett family is the only one living here. As early as two hundred years ago, the Knights of Bennett His ancestors won the title of lord due to military exploits, and got a piece of land, which is the current Bennett Knights, which was called Lord Bennett at that time.
The main line of the Bennett family lives in the city of Bagang, the capital of the Duchy of Carmel. If Abel is sent there, although Abel may become a knight there, he will also become a direct line of the Bennett family. The guardian of his children, Knight Bennett does not want his second son to sacrifice his freedom or even his life for others.
And Knight Bennett didn't want to be ridiculed for losing the title of lord. He had already decided that only when the Knights Bennett was upgraded to Lord Bennett would he go to Bagang City to visit the main line of the direct line. The pride of Knight Knight, the pride that others cannot trample on.
Knight Marshall Harry is different from Knight Bennett. The Harry family is a famous big family in the capital of Bagan. Knight Marshall Harry achieved military exploits in the war, and with the help of the family, he obtained a fief of knighthood.
Because of the relationship with the Knights of Bennett, this fief was selected as the fiefdom of the Knights 300 miles away from the Knights of Bennett, which is now the Knights of Harry, and that castle is a new castle.
The inheritance of the Harry Knight family is very good. There have been high-level knights. The Harry family inheritance concept is different from the Bennett family inheritance concept, but the Bennett Knights never deny the excellence of the other party's inheritance.
Knight Marshall Harry had told him many times that he wanted to adopt an adopted son as his heir, but the conditions for such an adopted son were not easy to find. Non-aristocratic children did not need to be considered, but noble children had their own missions, such as A nobleman has three sons, and the eldest son has the right to inherit, but in this world, maybe a duel, maybe a conflict, maybe just a disease, it is possible to kill the eldest son, then the second son will then get the inheritance rights, this is also In the way of inheritance of nobles, no one will despise their children, it is just a matter of spending different gold coins on education.
Abel is a genius. Knight Bennett can be sure of this. His experience and his experience are very rich. He knows how good his second son is. In order not to delay Abel's growth, he made this. A painful decision, the Bennett family will lose a knight who may be very powerful in the future, and the reason is only because of gold coins.
The atmosphere of the dinner was very dull. Big brother Zach dropped the beef from the fork and onto the plate several times. Usually, Knight Bennett would scold the eldest son for his rude behavior, but today, Knight Bennett has been sitting with a blank face. There, eating her food slowly, mother Nora ate very little and was crying most of the time.
After dinner, the servant stepped forward to clear the table, and Knight Bennett asked his last son Abel to come to his study alone.
The study, as the place where important letters and certificates are stored in the family, is usually forbidden for others to enter. This is the first time Abel has entered here. The study is very large. The portraits and other walls are made up of whole bookcases, in which are neatly arranged rows of books, big or small, red or black.
In the middle of the study is a huge desk made of a whole piece of wood. Due to the use of many years, the mirror pulp formed by natural friction on it makes the study show the thickness of history. This is the core of the knight's collar, and all commands are Issued here.
Knight Bennett took out from the table a large oak trunk, adorned with deerskin on all sides, with a brass handle on the top of the arched lid, and deerskin on one side of the lid. zipper.
Pulling open the buckle, Knight Bennett opened the oak box, and a set of equipment was neatly placed inside.
He took out a leather armor, which was a half-body leather armor, inlaid with small polished square pieces of iron on the chest and back, and several pieces of white iron folded from the shoulders to the elbows. The shoulder pads, this is an iron-inlaid leather armor, an armor between iron armor and leather armor. It is much cheaper than iron armor and even cheaper than chain armor with similar protection. Stronger than ordinary cotton armor and leather armor, this iron-inlaid leather armor has also become a choice for financially disadvantaged knights.
"This set of leather armor was made by the armor masters in the army after I killed a raging bull in the war with the orcs." Then he took out the lower part of the leather armor from the oak box. Half set, a pair of leather trousers with iron knee pads at the knees.
"This is a light sword, this is a calfskin boot, and this is a glove. I have nothing too precious for you, my son."
Abel looked at the equipment in the box, and his eyes couldn't help but sparkle. He knew this equipment. It was his father's spare equipment. It is impossible for a knight to have only one set of equipment. If it is bad, during the period of time when it is sent for repair, the spare equipment is the guarantee for the safety of the knight's life.
Without hesitation or rejection, Abel took the oak box that his father handed over. The box was very heavy. This was the most precious gift a father could give his child.
When I returned to the room with the oak box, my mother was already waiting in the room. My mother's gifts were very simple. They were all clothes, underwear, coats, knight training clothes, dresses, and even handkerchiefs. This time, my mother didn't have any. Crying, just holding Abel's hand and slowly talking to him about how to communicate with people outside, talking a lot, it was quiet at night, the study in the castle, Zach's room, and the oil lamp in Abel's room were on overnight.
