Chapter 471 Reunion

In the evening, Felinhild was sitting in his study, flipping through the newly issued education textbooks, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Honey, I'm baking bread. Go and open the door," Irene called. "Maybe Miss May is here."

"knew."

He closed the book, came to the living room door, and opened the door latch. The person standing outside was completely unexpected.

"Father! Why are you here?" Feilin asked in surprise.

"I came here with His Highness the Prince," the old knight patted the snowflakes on his shoulders, "I arrived in Border Town yesterday. Although I mentioned to them that my son lives here, they still gave me a baby in a community near the castle. I arranged a place to stay.”

"Come in quickly, it's cold outside." Feilin quickly moved away.

"Well," Jazz couldn't help but be startled as soon as he stepped into the house, "You also have...heating here?"

"You know about heating?"

"I just found out today. Last time I thought it was unreasonably warm in the castle. I thought the heating equipment His Highness was talking about was a new type of fireplace. This time when I visited the city hall and found that the room was just as warm without an open fire, I finally understood this thing. It turns out that it relies on water vapor to generate heat." He took off his coat and hung it on the stand next to the door, "Wait a minute... I remember that you didn't know what this was when I went to the castle last time?"

"I only learned about it through the notices in the city hall," Feilin poured a cup of tea for his father. "Before they do something, they always announce it to the townspeople some time in advance. Now the notice area in the square is even bigger than the convenience market. And be popular.”

"In other words, in just two months, His Highness installed this thing in the homes of ordinary residents?" Sir smacked his lips, "This will probably cost thousands of gold dragons, right?"

"Our community is one of the first to be installed, and trenches are still being dug in the west and north. And it is said that water supply and heating are only part of the three-way project. When the project is completed, we can live at night as we did during the day. .”

"The night is the same as the day?" Jazz raised his eyebrows, "Do you mean lighting more candles or oil lamps?"

"No, the people in the city hall said they would send lightning to everyone's homes."

"Thunder...lightning?" the old man said blankly.

"I also find it incredible, but that's what His Highness's propaganda says," Feilin nodded. "With electricity, the town can be as bright at night as during the day." The strange thing is that the news sounds ridiculous, but in his heart But I feel that if it is His Highness Roland, it may not be impossible to achieve.

After all, he is always creating new miracles.

"Hello, Sir Hilter..." At this time, Irene also ran out of the kitchen. In a panic, she was still holding half-baked bread skewers in her hands, and she almost lost her temper when she bowed. Dropped the bread on the floor.

Jazz chuckled twice, "Hello, Miss Irene. Actually, there's no need to be so anxious, I'm not hungry yet."

Feilin saw his wife's cheeks turn red instantly.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, "I'll add two more dishes today. Take your time, there's still a lot of time in the evening."

…

After the family had dinner, Eileen finally recovered from the initial nervousness. The three chatted for a while, and then she began to clear away the dishes and table, while her father took her to the study. Feilin realized that he had something serious to ask her. Account.

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

"I know something..." Feilin organized his words and said, "I heard that there was a rebellion among the four major families. His Highness left the town to quell the rebellion. This was publicized on the bulletin board."

"How could the City Hall even say such a thing?" Sir was startled, and then narrated what happened in general, "Although I also sent someone to deliver the news to His Highness, I didn't expect him to come so quickly. As a result, you You should also be able to guess that the four major families are completely vulnerable to His Highness's troops. The Maple Leaf, Running Wolf and Wild Rose families were completely destroyed, leaving only the dying Elk, and our family was almost implicated."

"What?" Feilin was surprised, "Did you, father..."

"Of course not me," the old man sighed, "I am already old and don't want to get involved in such risky things anymore, but your brother is different. He is eager to get a meritorious service that can surpass you to prove his achievements. Great things about the heir apparent. Unfortunately, he's in the wrong place."

"You mean, Miso participated in the rebellion?" Feilin's face darkened.

The knight nodded, "After the rebellion was defeated, 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."

"..." Feilin closed his eyes. Even though Miso targeted him everywhere after he became a well-known star knight, he was his brother after all, and it still made him feel quite uncomfortable to be reduced to this situation.

"Because there was no blood on his hands and he actively surrendered, he was sentenced to ten years of hard labor. He should be in the North Slope Mine now."

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

"Execution?" Jazz shook his head, "The last time I talked about was the last time as the head of the family. From that moment on, he was no longer a member of the Hilt family."

"You...disowned him."

"That's right," Jazz took a deep breath, "I warned him a long time ago, but he never took it to heart. This kind of person who regards the family's future as child's play and the fate of all family members as a bet, He is definitely not a suitable successor." Although he said it categorically, his expression clearly showed sadness, and the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper, "Now I only have you as my child."

"Father..." Feilin felt his eyes were a little sore, and he couldn't help but hold the old man's hand.

"I have never begged for anything, but this time, I hope you can inherit the Hilt family. I have a hunch that it will be revitalized in your hands," Sir said slowly, "This time I promise to come with His Highness the Prince. , but also to give priority to occupy a good position in future changes."

"But the position cannot be inherited. Father... the title will also become an honorary title."

"I know, but you have ignored the role of connections and experience. His Highness said that positions should be selected only by those with outstanding abilities. With the experience of previous people and the relationships developed, your chances of obtaining the same position are far higher than ordinary people. He patted the back of his son's hand and said, "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, Feilin finally nodded and said, "I understand, father. I promise you."

"In this way, I can feel at ease," Sir Hilt smiled, "By the way, if you could choose, which part of the work would you like to participate in?"

"this……"

"How about the Second Army? I heard from Commander-in-Chief Iron Axe that in addition to the soldiers who go to the battlefield, the army seems to have to form a planning department, and this plan will be tested in the Second Army first," Jazz said with great interest Looking at Feilin, "Actually, I know that this job is not your favorite content now. If you were really happy to deal with books, you wouldn't have chosen to become a knight." His father's eyes were burning, as if he had seen through him. The thought in my heart is, "You are still the same dawn as before, my child." (To be continued.)
