Chapter 1247 Knight’s Heart
It took Manfold a while to recover from his dizziness.
His vision was blurry, his face was burning with pain, and it was quite difficult to open his eyes.
Damn it, what about the agreement between nobles not to slap each other in the face?
With great effort, he slowly sat up from the ground, moved little by little towards the two frightened women, and pulled out the rags from their mouths. "Don't be afraid, I will untie you when I take a breath."
The two of them didn't even dare to take a breath, they just nodded lightly.
This time he paused longer before gathering enough strength to let go of the rope. "Okay, you can go. Just be careful not to get caught by that guy again..."
That guy probably has no chance. Once the ship is loaded with people and leaves the port, he should be able to bump into migrants wherever he goes. To do such a thing in front of everyone, the other party probably doesn't have the guts.
The woman who was freed from the restraints walked around him carefully, and then ran quickly out of the utility room - the sound of rapid footsteps gradually faded away, and finally fell into silence.
From beginning to end, they still didn't say a word, including thank you.
Manfold leaned against the wall and breathed out slowly. For some reason, the coachman's words suddenly appeared in his mind.
"I say, kid, don't always think of yourself as a good person, especially outside...otherwise, sooner or later, you will suffer a big loss."
He shook his head, throwing these distracting thoughts away.
I have long been used to this kind of situation, right?
Now I just hope that I can return to the assigned cabin before the official departure, and don't let anyone occupy the bed.
Suddenly, Manfeld heard tiny steps coming again, accompanied by the creaking sound of wooden boards approaching him little by little.
Damn it, isn’t that guy named Mike Jinli not fighting enough?
The footsteps stopped suddenly at the door of the utility room, and then the door was pushed open a crack, and a head poked in.
Manfold was stunned. The person who came was none other than one of the escaped women.
And when the door opened, he found that both people were there - and the one standing behind was struggling to carry a wooden bucket, his movements were stiff, as if he had used all his strength.
It wasn't until the bucket was placed in front of him that he noticed that it was filled with clean water.
"you……"
One of them took out a handkerchief, moistened it and gently wiped the blood on his face. The other person kept apologizing, "Sorry, sorry for causing you to be beaten like this. We were too scared at the time, so we just said one word I dare not say it...because, because...you said that you are also a noble."
Manfold couldn't help but laugh.
Even though his whole body was tingling, he didn't want to control his expression.
"Uh, what's wrong with you..."
"Didn't I say?" He interrupted the other party, "From the moment we board the ship, there is no difference between slaves and nobles - because the King of Graycastle not only canceled his slave status, but also took back his status as a slave. All aristocratic power, in other words, we are the same people."
Yes, Manfold is not unaware of the fact that Graycastle has no knights - merchants traveling from various places have long spread this news to Wolf Heart. In the eyes of most nobles, this is simply an act of rebellion. , but it made him pay more attention to Wimbledon.
Since falling behind in his family, a question has been lingering in his mind, that is, what is a knight?
When his father was still alive, he never considered this issue and thought that it was only a matter of time before he inherited this identity. However, when the territory was annexed in the competition between various forces, Manfeld found that things had become unexpected. The new lord turned a blind eye to him, and those who were obviously not qualified became the superiors. Except for a surname, he It's like there is nothing left.
According to ancient books, the pioneering ancestors elected the most outstanding representative among them as the king, and the king bestowed status and honor on the brave and warriors to defend their homeland and people together. This is the origin of the title. As the people closest to the bottom, knights should be humble and compassionate, and uphold justice and integrity in order to make the territory prosperous.
It is precisely because of these qualities that ordinary people do not possess that they are more noble.
This is who Manfeld always wanted to be.
But now he couldn't figure out what the difference between knights and ordinary people was after they lost their land. Is it their extraordinary spirit or a land deed that represents their nobility?
In the battle for power and interests, the territories of the great lords are changing every day. Among the people he knows around him, lame people can be knights, and idiots can be knights, but he is the only one who has no land. This makes him have doubts about the so-called "knights". class" became suspicious.
Despite all the setbacks suffered after the family's decline, Manfeld's goals have never changed.
It can be said that he had the idea of going to Graycastle for a long time, and all he lacked was the travel expenses. Later, the Graycastle people took the initiative to enter Wolf Heart and moved the residents of villages and towns from various places, which turned out to be the best opportunity.
He wondered if it was possible to be a knight in a place where nobility no longer existed.
After hearing the words "We are the same people", the two women's expressions obviously relaxed a lot, "Really...is that so?"
"It spread among the aristocratic circles several months ago. Those big families are eager to say that Wimbledon is a devil from hell." Manfeld smiled laboriously, "But now, I'm afraid they all You have to go to the most terrifying devil."
The person who wiped him was silent for a moment, "Why do you want to help us? Aren't you afraid of being attacked by that noble..."
"He didn't dare to kill him because I had already warned him." Manfold shook his head, "I don't know how the Graycastle people will review it, but I heard that there are witches involved, so lying is absolutely impossible. Even if he doesn’t think it’s a crime to bully you, killing another noble without permission is definitely a crime that cannot be ignored, and he knows this very well.”
At this point he took a breath and said, "By the way, my name is Manfeld Carstein, what about you?"
It's really interesting. This is the fourth time he has reported his name today, right?
"My name is Dailan," the other party whispered, "her name is Momo." She paused, as if she was making up her mind, "What the noble said is true. We were sold to-"
"I told you, that was all before we got on the ship, so there's no problem if we don't mention it." Manfold waved his hand, "As the coachman who sent me here said, no matter how I lived in the past, but There will definitely be a new life for us in the future - if this were not the case, we would not be determined to leave Wolf Heart and go to a distant and unfamiliar place, right?"
“Woo——————————————————”
At this time, a long and rich horn sound sounded.
The time to set sail is almost here.
"Go back, it will be troublesome if someone takes your seat." He stood up with force. Although his whole body was still in severe pain, it should be no problem to walk back to the cabin. "Me too, it's such a long journey. I don’t want to sleep in the utility room.”
The two women looked at each other. After hesitating for a moment, Dailan took out a white pill from her pocket and handed it to him.
"This is……"
"A medicine that can delay pain," Dailan said. "If the pain becomes unbearable, just lick it, or break off a small piece and eat it. But remember not to take too much at one time, because it can only Pains are delayed rather than eliminated.”
Manfold took the pill with a puzzled look on his face. It only delayed the pain but not the pain. Is there such a miraculous drug in the world?
Dailan and Momo left the utility room with the buckets without further explanation.
But this time, the two stopped when they reached the door and bowed deeply to him, "Thank you, Mr. Carstein."
Manfeld let out a sigh of relief.
Not everyone is the same, right?
That's enough.
He looked at the pill in his hand for a while, then tried to put it to his mouth and licked it.
A faint sweetness spreads from the tip of the tongue.
Maybe these are...balls made from wheat flour? Maybe add a little honey.
Maybe it was just a placebo smuggled from the nobleman who bought her.
However, the moment this idea popped up, something incredible happened.
Almost instantly, he felt all the pain disappear, as if he had never been beaten.
