MTL - Abe the Wizard-Chapter 18 Harvest City

Bennett Castle, today is the last day of the year, tomorrow is the new year.

At dinner, Knight Bennett took out a letter and a long parcel and gave it to Zach: "This is a New Year gift from Abel. He is still good to you. Neither my mother nor you have a gift. "

He probably felt that his sentence was a bit sour. Nora gave him a white look and said, "The child just wrote less than a month ago. Remember to write to us. It's not easy, do you send a gift?"

Zack took the letter and parcel, opened the parcel first, and revealed a large sword.

"This is the Bailian Great Sword made by the master." Withdrawing the Great Sword from the scabbard, Zack recognized the sword at a glance. The Bailian Great Sword has always been valuable in the market, although the price is as high as 1,000 gold coins. Let everyone stun, but there are still countless rich people rushing to buy with a purse.

The sword is a standard weapon of the knight. When two knights fight, a knight with a hundred swords can easily cut off the opponent's sword, so that the opponent loses his weapon, and the consequences of losing the weapon to the knight in battle Anyone can imagine it.

I just heard his wife, Nora, said that she is not bad for gifts. When she saw the great sword in Zack ’s hand, and she was still using the 80 sword, she could n’t help but say, “I ’m really Bad gift. "

"Show me." For a good weapon, as a knight, there is no resistance. It is better to take it from Zack than to grab a hundred swords. Bennett is here. Waving in the restaurant, he waved and said, "Abel is really like this boy. As soon as he arrived at Harry Castle, he gave away the things from the castle. I will write back and talk to him."

"That's not the case," said Zach, who was reading the letter. "Abel said that this was the first weapon he forged and gave me as a New Year's gift."

Bennett's great sword stopped in midair, staring at the letter in Zack's hand and asking, "The letter said that the great sword was forged by Abel himself?"

"Yes, Father, Abelson made it very clear." Zach replied affirmatively.

"How is that possible? Marshall studied a blacksmith for a year, and a year later he made a knife that can only cut beef on the dining table. Abel went for a month and forged a sword with a long practice? "Benette Knight felt that he had given Abel a friend as an adoptive son. He might have regretted it after a few years. No, it should have started after seeing this hundred swords. Regret.

The New Year of Bennett Castle was spent in a strange atmosphere, Zac's surprise, Bennett's remorse, Nora's thoughts, but all that Abel in Harry Castle did not know.

Harry Castle, Marshall Knight and Abel took the carriage to Harvest City to participate in the New Year reception hosted by Lord Viscount Dickens. The reception started at night, but the Marshall Knight took Abel early in the morning.

The road from Knights Marshall's castle to Harvest City is particularly well-maintained. The entire road is smoothed by small pieces of rock, with the middle high and low sides of the curved road. The carriage runs on it with only a slight bump. The 100-mile journey took just over an hour.

Seeing the harvest city from a distance is like a savage tiger. Only when you approach it can you feel its majesty and spectacularness. This is the largest city in the south of the Principality of Camai. The walls are 20 meters high and the walls are loaded. Dozens of artillery cannons showing the severity of the city.

"Uncle Marshall, why is Harvest City so tightly guarded?" Abe asked strangely, looking at the 20-meter-high wall and the large number of defensive equipment on it.

This is the southernmost part of the holy continent, the hinterland of the human world, and a duchy separated from the orc empire, known as the safest duchy, why make the city a war fortress?

"Abel, we have at least one official knight in each of the fiefdoms of the Principality of Camai, and in this harvest city, the respected Lord Viscount Dickens is a knight captain." The eyes of the Marshall Knight were a little confused, as if in retrospect. After some memories, he sighed and said, "The reason for this is all because of the Orc Empire."

"But the orc empire is in the far north, the miracle town guarded by the Human Alliance." These Abels know that the miracle city defended the orcs in the north in order to enable the human kingdom to live safely.

In this world, the orcs are the most warlike people. The crazy breeding of their races has led to their frequent lack of food. In order to alleviate the food crisis, the orcs will wage war. On the one hand, they will rob food through war and on the other hand, they will reduce the population. .

The human closest to the orc empire has become the target of the orcs. In order to survive, the human beings gathered all their strength to build a military fortress in the only passage between the human society and the orc empire in the Budapest Mountains. This city is a miracle city.

All humans know that as long as there is a miracle city, there is no need to worry about the orc's aggression.

"In the past few decades, the orc empire has increased some attack methods. They used human-capable flying beasts to take people over the Budapest mountains to damage the rear of human beings." Knight of Marshall said in a somewhat skeptical tone: "It is said to be disruptive, and I agree that this is a trial."

Talking, the carriage has reached the gate of the harvest city. A long line in front of the ten-meter-high gate is waiting to enter the city. In the front are soldiers checking, charging, and then releasing. The soldiers are not fast. If you line up at this moment, I am afraid that it will take an hour to enter the city.

But the carriage did not stop. In the envious eyes of the queuing crowd, the carriage directly entered the city from the other side.

This was the first time that Abel felt the privilege of the nobility. Before, whether in Bennett Castle or Harry Castle, he felt that he was a child of a wealthy relative to the people around him.

This makes Abel, who has gradually integrated into this world, still somewhat unaccustomed. In his original world, others lined up. If you cut in, others will stare at you with contempt. Here, Abel went straight into the city without even getting the carriage.

The carriage came to a courtyard. This is the temporary residence of the Marshall Knights in Harvest City. As soon as he arrived at the gate, Robin, the left-behind butler, greeted him.

"Robin, Abel will be staying here for two days, packing up the independent yard, and Aber will be there afterwards." Knight Marshall ordered the steward as he got out of the carriage.

"Yes Master."

Housekeeper Robin has long heard that the Marshall Knight has an adopted son, and has become the heir of the castle directly. Now when he hears the command of the Marshall Knight, it can be seen that the Knight attaches importance to this Master Abel. In addition, the best place to stay, the Knight's word became the private residence of Master Abel.

"Abel, are you going to visit a friend with me or to play in Harvest City?"

Seeing Abel's somewhat hesitant look, Knight of Marshall couldn't help laughing, "Of course, don't ask, I will arrange Robin to accompany you to visit Harvest City."

Regarding the adopted son Abel, the Marshall Cavaliers seemed to attach great importance to it, and did not force Abel. Just seeing Abel's expression, he knew Abel's choice, and the knight respected Abel's opinion.

Rejecting the request of housekeeper Robin to accompany him, Abel rode a horse and looked at the shops on both sides of the street. The streets of Harvest City were very wide, probably because of the New Year, and there were many pedestrians on the street.

As I was walking, there was a noisy sound in front. The sound was familiar. I drove the horse to the noisy place, and saw that Zac was arguing with three young men in leather armor, and a blond hair was standing beside him. The young girl, seventeen or eighteen years old, is smart and playful, smiles with a sly smell in her eyes, and is watching Zach arguing with three young people with interest.

"Brother!" Abel's voice was a little excited, and he was surprised to see his family here. He jumped off the horse and pulled the reins toward Zach.

"Abel!" Zach saw Abel and came up with a tight hug.

Let go of Abel, and Zach turned his head and introduced them to the three young people: "This is my brother Abel."

Then he said to Abel, "This is Martin, Joshua, Bob."

The young girl gave Abel a lady's gift, and introduced herself with a light smile: "Hello, my name is Emily." Emily looked up and down with some curiosity after speaking.

Abel returned a gift and saw the elder brother Zac peeping at Emily's expression, and laughed inwardly. The elder brother has reached the age of love and already has a girl he likes. Would you like to write a letter to tell his mother?

Martin didn't seem to think that Abel was so young, and after a moment of disappointment, he asked with a hint of uncertainty: "You are the one who helped Zack forge a great sword?"

Abel nodded with a smile. "Yes."

"It's you!" Martin immediately gave a salute with great enthusiasm and said, "Fortunately, fortunately! I didn't expect you to be so young."

It can be seen that Martin is a very talkative person, has a very easy-going personality, and feels very easy to get along with. Abel impressed him very well.
