Abe the Wizard

Castle Bennett, today is the last day of the year, and tomorrow is the New Year.

At dinner, Knight Bennett gave Zach a letter and a long package: "This is a New Year's gift from Abel, and he's still good to you, and neither I nor your mother have a gift. ”

Probably thought he was a little sour, and Nara whispered to him, "The child just went less than a month ago, remember to write to us, it's not easy anymore, are you missing a gift? ”

Zach took the letter and the package, first opened the package, and a big sword came out.

“This is a master's sword.” Drawing the sword from the sheath, Zach recognized the sword at a glance. The hundred practice swords have always been priceless in the market. Though the price of up to 1,000 gold coins makes everyone talk, millionaires still grab their purses.

The Great Sword is the standard weapon of a knight. When two knights are at war, a knight with a hundred practice swords can easily cut off his opponent's great sword, thus depriving the opponent of his weapon and losing his weapon in battle. One can imagine the consequences for the knight.

I had just heard my wife Nara say that she was not a bad gift to the Knight of Bennett, and I saw Zach's 100 practice sword, and I was still using the 80 practice sword, and I couldn't help but say out loud: “I really am a bad gift. ”

“Show me.” For a good weapon, as a knight, there is no resistance whatsoever. From Zach's point of view, it's better to grab a hundred practice swords, and the knight Bennett waves in the restaurant and says, “Abel is also really, just arrived at Harry Castle, and gave him something from the castle. I'll write to him later and tell him. ”

“That's not true.” Zach, who is reading the opening letter, said, "Abbott said it was the first weapon he forged to give me as a New Year's gift. ”

The great sword in the hands of the knight Bennett stood halfway in the sky, staring at Zach's letter and asking, "Did Abel forge this sword himself? ”

“Yes, Father, Abel was very clear in his letter.” Zach answered with certainty.

“How is it possible that Marshall studied blacksmiths for a year, and a year later he made a knife that could only cut beef on the table, and Abel went for a month and forged a hundred practice swords?” Did Knight Bennett feel wrong about giving Abel to his friends for adoption? Maybe he will regret it in a few years. No, he should have already begun to regret seeing this hundred practice swords.

Castle Bennett's New Year was spent in a strange atmosphere, Zach's surprise, the remorse of the Knight Bennett, Nara's misgivings, but all of this was in Castle Harry's Abe didn't know.

Harry Castle, the Marshall Knight took Abel by carriage to Toyota City for a New Year's Eve party hosted by city owner Viscount Dickens, which began at night, but the Marshall Knight left early in the morning with Abel.

From the castle of the Knight Marshall to the road of Toyotomi, it was particularly well repaired. The whole road was flattened with small rocks on the middle, high and low curved sides. The carriage ran with only a slight bump on it, a hundred miles away, and it took just over an hour.

Far away, Harvest City is like a crawling tiger that can only feel magnificent and spectacular when you approach it. This is the largest city in the south of the Principality of Kameh, with walls up to 20 metres high, and dozens of guns loaded on the walls of the city, all showing the seriousness of the city.

“Uncle Marshall, why is Harvest so tightly guarded?” Abel looked at the 20-metre high wall and the abundance of city guards on it and asked strangely.

This is the southernmost part of the Holy Land, the heart of the human world, a principality separated from the Orc Empire, called the safest principality, why build a city into a war fortress?

“Abel, each of our enclosed lands in the Principality of Kameh is manned by at least one official knight, and in front of this harvest city, the esteemed owner of the city, Viscount Dickens, is a knight chief.” The Marshall Knight's eyes were a little lost, seemed to recall some of the past, sighed and went on to say, “All of this is because of the Orc Empire. ”

“The Empire of the Orcs is in the far north, guarded by a miracle town manned by the Human Alliance.” These Abe know that the City of Miracles guards the Orcs of the North in order to enable the kingdom of mankind to live in safety.

In this world, the Orcs are the most belligerent people, and the madness of their race leads to their frequent lack of food. In order to alleviate the food crisis, the Orcs wage war by seizing food through war and reducing the population.

And the man closest to the Orc Empire became the target of the Orc, who built a military fortress in order to survive and gather all his strength, the only passage between human society and the Orc Empire in the Budapest Mountains, a city known as the City of Miracles.

All humans know that as long as Miracle City is present, there is no need to worry about the aggression of the Orcs.

“In recent decades, the Orc Empire has added a number of ways of attacking the rear of mankind with flying beasts capable of carrying people across the Budapest Mountains.” The Knight Marshall said in a somewhat skeptical tone: "Saying it was sabotage, I agree more that it was a trial. ”

Speaking, the carriage has arrived at the gates of Toyotomi City. The long line of 10 meters high gates is waiting to enter the city. The first is the soldiers checking, charging, and then releasing. The soldiers are not fast. If they line up at this time, I fear it will take an hour to enter the city.

But the carriage did not stop, and in the enviable eyes of the queued crowd, the carriage entered the city directly from the other side.

It was the first time that Abel felt privileged to be noble, before he felt like a rich child relative to the people around him, whether it was Castle Bennett or Castle Harry.

This makes Abel, who has slowly merged into the world, a little bit uncomfortable, in his original world, where people line up, and if you step in, people will look at you with disdain. And here, Abel went straight into the city without even getting off the wagon.

The carriage arrived at a courtyard, the temporary residence of the Marshall Knight in Toyota City, just outside the courtyard door, where Robin, the residual butler, greeted him.

“Robin, Abel's going to be staying here for two days, cleaning up that independent yard, and Abel's going to be there.” The Marshall knight stepped out of the carriage and told the butler.

“Yes, master. ”

Housekeeper Robin had long heard that the Knight of Marshall had an adopted son and had become the heir to the castle, and now that he had heard the Knight of Marshall's orders, he could see that the Knight attached great importance to this Young Master Abel. The independent courtyard was the best place to live, apart from the master's residence. The Knight, in a word, became the private residence of Young Master Abel.

“Abel, are you coming with me to visit friends or to visit Harvest City? ”

Seeing Abel's skepticism, the Marshall Knight couldn't help but laugh: “Of course, don't ask. I'll arrange Robin to accompany you to Toyoharvest City. ”

With regard to Abel, his adopted son, the Marshall Knight seemed to attach great importance to him and did not ask Abel to do so. Just seeing Abel's face made him aware of Abel's choice, and the Knight respected Abel's opinion.

Rejected Robin the butler's request to accompany him, Abel rode alone and looked at the shops on both sides of the street. The streets of Harvest City were wide, probably because of the New Year's Eve, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the street.

Walking, there was a noisy noise in front, the sound was familiar, driving the horse to a noisy place, and I saw Zach arguing with three young men in leather armour, while standing next to a young blonde girl, seventeen or eight years old, playful, smiling with a sly smell in her eyes, watching Zach arguing with interest.

“Brother!” Abel's voice was a little excited to see his family here, which surprised him, and he jumped off his horse and pulled the reins towards Zach.

“Abel!” Zach saw Abel and came up as a tight hug.

Let go of Abel, and Zach turns his head and introduces the three young men and says, "This is my brother Abel. ”

And then he said to Abel, "This is Martin, Joshua, Bob. ”

The young girl gave Abel a ladies' gift, smiling and introducing herself, “Hello, my name is Emily.” Emily finished by measuring Abel curiously up and down.

Abel answered a gift and saw Big Brother Zach peeking at Emily's face, smiling in his heart. Big Brother is old enough to fall in love, and he already has a girl he likes. Should we write a letter to his mother?

Martin didn't seem to think that Abel was so young that he was disoriented for a moment and asked in a slightly uncertain tone: "Are you Abel, who helped Zach forge the sword? ”

Abel nodded with a smile: "Yes. ”

“It's really you!” Martin immediately gave a very warm courtesy and said, “It's a pleasure to meet you! I didn't think you were so young. ”

I can see that Martin is a very talkative man, has a very pleasant personality, feels very close to each other, and Abel has a very good impression of him.
