Heart of the Castle

Chapter 42 The Servant of the Lost Knight

Reaffirming himself, Levi got rid of the chaotic memory. Only then did he feel his stomach growling in protest. Speaking of which, he felt that he had spent a full 15 years in his dream, but in reality he He had only been in a coma for a little over two days. If the high fever continued, it might really burn the boy's brain.

He hadn't eaten for more than two days, of course Li Wei was very hungry. He got up and saw a wooden plate beside him, on which were some simple meals - black bread, a small amount of vegetables, half a pickled Tomatoes, and a bowl of hot water with a few grass blades floating in it.

For Li Wei, this was a delicacy that he hadn't eaten for a long time. Li Wei hurriedly took the plate and began to eat and drink aggressively.

It wasn't until the plate was swept away that Li Wei felt that the flame of hunger in his stomach was slightly extinguished. Although he was not half full, he didn't feel too uncomfortable, so he stood up from the bed Come on, get ready to go outside for a walk.

There was a soreness in his left foot, and Li Wei staggered, then regained his balance and stood firm.At this time, he was stunned instead. The memory of being hit by a galloping horse clearly appeared in his mind. Li Wei rolled up the pants on his left leg in surprise, and found that the place where the bone should have been broken has now disappeared without a trace , even the slightest and most difficult to eliminate black and blue contusions in the bruises did not appear.

"It's so strange, I clearly remember that there was a bruise here?" Li Wei rubbed his head in confusion, and put this matter behind him. Can't find it again?

"Perhaps during the period of injury and coma, a priest gave me magical treatment?" Li Wei thought about the most reasonable explanation, but deep down he knew that this seemingly reasonable explanation was actually the most unreasonable.Priests don't treat people casually without paying enough. There are still many people lying in the wounded barracks, and no priest has been seen to treat them.

"If His Excellency Knight Ston is still there, it is still possible..." Li Wei thought, his mood was obviously depressed.

Knight Ston is an old low-level knight, who is called a good old man in the castle. It is this honest elder who took in Levi who lost his parents and made him his apprentice servant.If there hadn't been this attack from the demons, maybe Ston Knight would have bought a set of simple knight equipment for Levi when he was 16 years old, and let him receive formal knight training. Three knights have been added to the collar.

In front of Li Wei's eyes, the scene of Knight Ston riding his horse and charging towards the demon formation appeared in front of Li Wei's eyes. He felt his eyes were red and hot, and he hurriedly hid in the corner, covering his face tightly with his hands.

"Levy, you are a knight's squire, and you may become a heroic knight in the future. You know, a knight can shed blood, but not tears. A knight should have no mercy for the death of the enemy, and rejoice in the death of his comrades in battle , being able to die on the battlefield is the best ending for a knight."

Ston Knight's vicissitudes of voice seemed to be still echoing in Li Wei's ears, and between Li Wei's fingers, there were big drops of hot liquid.

"Your Excellency Ston, please allow me to indulge one last time. From today onwards, I will never shed tears again! I will definitely inherit your legacy and become a great knight who can end the invasion of demons!"

Only he can hear the young man's silent oath in his heart. However, from this moment on, the young man has unswervingly followed the path of the vow in his heart. Only the god named Faith can keep watching the boy, urging him to abandon his weak thoughts and go on unswervingly.

"Li Wei, Li Wei!" A young man who was about to walk out of the wounded barracks was stopped by a frivolous voice. He is quite upright, but his mouth always tilted to one side ruins his image, giving people a vitriolic feeling.

This person was not familiar with Li Wei, and in the youth's impression, he only had the vague concept of "it seems to be the son of Mr. Trien, the housekeeper of the Viscount's mansion", Pamy.

"Oh, you're recovering well." Pami looked Li Wei up and down, his eyes made people feel an indescribable disgust, like a bug crawling on Li Wei's body, Li Wei answered with a slight frown Said: "It's okay, there is basically no problem with the body."

"Just recover. The Viscount sent me to find you. Come with me." After Pami finished speaking, he turned around and left. Li Wei followed behind him, feeling like he just said the words "just recover". There was a hint of schadenfreude in Pammy's voice, which confused the boy.

Due to the shortage of manpower during wartime, the number of guards in front of the viscount's mansion was reduced from eight to two. Pami walked in front, caressing the badge on his chest deliberately, and said in a long voice: "I'm Viscount Lane's personal servant Pami, and the Viscount asked me to take this kid to him."

The two guards nodded expressionlessly, and Pami walked into the gate proudly, and then waved to Li Wei, "Follow me, Li Wei, this is the first time you have seen such a luxurious mansion, right?"

If there is no fusion of the soul of time travel, Li Wei may indeed be shocked by the splendor of the Viscount's mansion, but when there are countless pictures of more majestic and magnificent buildings in his mind, the Viscount's mansion looks vulgar, perhaps many People think that putting gold foil all over the walls is a luxurious decoration, but in Li Wei's eyes, there are not a few simple and elegant patterns, which can better bring out the majestic atmosphere of the building.

As if seeing Li Wei's indifferent expression, Pammy snorted dissatisfiedly, and led Li Wei into the Viscount's mansion.To meet a subject of Li Wei's status, the Viscount certainly didn't have to be so grand in the living room, so in a small garden, Li Wei saw Viscount Lane sitting on a large armchair.

Perhaps it was due to the invasion of the demons. Although the big armchair surrounded by flowers in the garden was very comfortable, the face of the Viscount sitting on it looked a little gloomy. Seeing Li Wei walk in and bow to him, the Viscount slightly He raised his hand, indicating that Li Wei could sit down and talk.

There were several stone-carved seats scattered in the garden, which were not comfortable, so Li Wei randomly found a Viscount who was closer to him and sat down, ready to obey the Viscount's orders.

"Li Wei, after the high fever subsides, your injury will heal very quickly." Viscount Lane was concerned about Li Wei's body when he spoke, but his tone seemed a little weird, which made Li Wei not only not grateful, but instead There was a strange premonition, as if the viscount had made a decision that was not good for him, and he was going to say it later.

This kind of premonition had never appeared before the injury, and it probably came from that unknown soul. Li Wei was also skeptical, so he simply tried to clarify the matter.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount, for your concern. My body is already recovering. If you have anything to do, please tell me."

The Viscount chuckled, as if he was not used to Li Wei's straight-forward response. After thinking about it for a while, the Viscount leaned forward from the armchair, and Pammy immediately gave him a pillow in a very considerate manner. Let the Viscount continue to lie on it comfortably.

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight. Li Wei, I don't know if you don't know one thing. As a servant, it is a great sin to lose the loyalty of a knight! Even if you have participated in the city The merits of the field battle cannot completely offset the crime."

"What?" Li Wei straightened his body and almost stood up from the seat.Every word that came out of the viscount's mouth hit his heart, and the young man couldn't help clenching his teeth with a tearing pain.

"Don't be so excited, young man. I am as saddened as you are about the death of Knight Ston. Ston is your elder and my friend. Ston has been in the Ryan family since the time the Ryan family entrusted this territory. I have assumed the position of guardian knight. You are his designated attendant, if possible, I would never make it difficult for you." The viscount's voice softened, he spoke slowly, his eyes filled with memories of the past.

"But..." the viscount changed his voice and became solemn, "Now is the critical moment for the demons to invade. I can't confuse the merits and punishments just because I sheltered you alone. According to the law, I have not been harmed. A squire whose loyal knight is wounded shall be demoted to a servant; a squire whose loyal knight dies without being injured shall be executed immediately!"

Li Wei's expression froze for a moment, and his body straightened involuntarily.

Viscount Ryan narrowed his eyes and watched the boy's reaction with interest. After a while, he said in a gentle voice again: "Li Wei, you were very brave in battle a few days ago, and you were also injured. Although the Ston knight you were loyal to died in battle, it was not your fault. The demons invaded, and any human being must have the consciousness to die on the battlefield, but you really shouldn’t be in the castle without the loyal knight Stay here. Well, you are a cavalry squire. You can leave here with your horse and weapons. Remember that there is a post near Heihe in the north. You report to the sentinel captain there and participate in the guard work of the Heihe post. All right."

"Heihe Outpost? You mean...the northern border!" Li Wei couldn't bear it any longer, and stood up from his seat abruptly.

"Well, it's there. Of course, the Heihe outpost is indeed dangerous, but there are also many opportunities for meritorious service. Now that the disaster of the demon invasion is at hand, everyone should not shrink back. As long as you kill 20 little demons at the outpost Merit, I will grant you a license to return to the castle, and you can also inherit the armor and sword of Knight Ston, how about it?"

What Viscount Lane said seemed to be an inquiry, but Li Wei could hear the taste that was absolutely unchangeable. The young man who understood this deeply lowered his head, and said to Viscount Lane in a respectful manner:
"I am willing to obey your order."

Seeing the back of Li Wei striding out of the garden, Viscount Ryan's expression darkened, he glanced coldly at Pammy who was standing beside him, and said in a slightly irritable voice: "Okay, I That’s all for your help, whether you can inherit the family name of Knight Ston is a matter for your father and son.”

"Of course, of course." Pammy bent even lower, and a sinister and vicious smile appeared on his face.
