The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

The village is fairly clean. There is no worrying about the mixed living of humans and animals, and the floor is full of feces, so Charles dared to go inside.

The houses here are all made of wood. A circle is made of wood on the soil platform about half a meter high, leaving the doorway, and covering the top with straw, and a house is completed.

It's just that the houses here are broken and new, and the strongest one is a blacksmith shop.

Charles didn't take a few steps before he was attracted by the shouts and knocks of a male child.

Across the village, in the clearing next to the woods, there are a group of eight to twelve-year-old male children who are holding rough wooden swords and practicing in pairs. On the log used as a chair on the side, a middle age person is cutting a wooden sword with a knife.

When Charles first saw this man wearing the same coarse clothes as other villagers, with a beard face, bald head reflecting the sun, and stout hands and feet, he realized that he was not simple.

The man immediately felt Charles looked towards his own gaze. The first time he looked towards Charles, he noticed the right ring on the other's right hand.

As soon as he wanted to stand up and salute Charles, Charles reached out his hand to stop him, then walked to his side and sat down.

"These all are your students?" Charles asked the bald man.

"My lord, they are all children in the village. I am the guard of the village. I usually teach them some sword skills." The man who called himself Algernon said, "In two days, the guard A few Knights will come to choose the waiters. They are practicing, hoping to be selected by the Knights."

The most direct way for a free male citizen to step into the threshold of noble is to become Knight's waiters first. After he was fourteen, he was transferred to be a servant, and he became a cavalry when he was 18.

Charles nodded, and then picked up a wooden sword that Algernon had just cut and played with it. Although the wooden sword looks rough, it feels very close to the steel long sword.

"What about you?" Charles raised his wooden sword and made a slashing motion, which was quite smooth. "With your strength, being a Knight is more than enough. How can you only be in one village? Guard?"

Algernon picked up a piece of wood and shaved it off. He replied: "I was also a Knight before, but my lord was seized, and I was also seized. But I can only fight, not farm land, and Second Young Master hopes that I can help him protect the old man, so Master Count let me be a guard in the village."

Charles extend the hand He came to patted Algernon’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I guess Tonio won’t be a cook for a lifetime, maybe he will be re-knighted in a few years, when the time comes you are such a loyal vassal. The title will definitely be restored."

The nobles in the north can be said to be people in the same circle. They have formed a big network by blood relationship and teacher-student relationship.

Mrs. Veri is the honorary title of Mrs. Veri Buffy for her artistic achievements. She is Charles’s mother, Winnie Megadon’s teacher, and Charles’s caravan’s boss, Tonio’s mother. At the same time, she was the mother of Buffy Count, who had conflicts with Charles and Diana by the Hammer Lake, and the grandmother of the two illegitimate daughters of King Villingen and the grandmother of the fourth and fifth Princess of the Villingen Kingdom. Coupled with her experience of teaching at City of Knowledge, she can talk to Charles' grandfather, grandmother, and Professor Wolfe.

Charles figured this out after seeing Tonio and Buffy count when they were young in the oil painting on the porch of the house.

Looking back now, it is estimated that Aubrey and Tonio knew the relationship here, so Aubrey let Charles follow Tonio, and Tonio took care of Charles. He even wanted to give him a pair of cabbage for this reason.

As a person who dared to grow cabbage with the queen, Tonio was either the king’s loyal henchman or the king’s scourge. Seeing that he dared to follow the caravan to royal capital, then it must be the former. Now that troubled times are approaching, it is inevitable that the Royal General of the country will recall him again.

Algernon was a little surprised by Charles' words, and was relieved when Charles explained to him that he and Tonio were working in the caravan.

At this time, the movement in the clearing attracted Charles's attention.

Two male children holding wooden swords to practice against each other have decided the victory or defeat.

A blond boy about ten years old raised his sword with both hands and cut his head at a black hair boy who was shorter than him. The black hair boy took a step forward with his right foot and held the sword in both hands. The hit was taken from right to left.

Then the black hair boy turned around and pushed his arm, the long sword in his hand continued to exert force, pushing the opponent's long sword to the left away from his body, and at the same time sliding the sword body, bringing his long sword closer to the hilt Hold against the position near the point of the opponent's sword.

At this time, the long sword in the hands of the blond boy pressed back against the long sword of the black hair boy. Although his strength is stronger than that of the black hair boy, the place where the two swords intersect is near the tip of his sword, making him less powerful than the black hair boy who uses the sword body near the hilt to resist.

Finally, the black hair boy takes the place where the two swords intersect as the axis, and the sword body rotates with the hand, sweeping the blond boy’s shoulders from left to right with the force of the opponent, and hitting the blond boy with a sound of "Pa" On the blond boy's right shoulder, the pain caused the sword in the opponent's hand to fall.

"Good Yuguangzhan." Charles, who got the Queen cheat, quickly saw the black hair boy's swordsmanship. "His steps and posture are qualified."

Algernon said: "Alex is the most innate talent child I have ever seen. He is only eight years old this year, but his sword skills have far surpassed peers. It's just... alas..."

"Just what?" Charles became curious.

Algernon shook the head somewhat helplessly, and said: "It's nothing, but he lacks in practice."

"It may be that he has made too fast progress and a little slack. "Charles said.

There are many youngsters brimming over with talent on the football field, but people like Ronaldo who have been brimming over with talent to their thirties can be counted on one's fingers.

At this time, someone called Algernon away, saying that a wild boar with an abnormal spirit appeared outside the gate of the manor.

Charles wondered if Dragon's Might from the giant dragon who sent them over this morning frightened the wild boar.

He didn’t follow to watch the excitement. A Knight-level person like Algernon killed a wild boar. , Although he was also a rookie not long ago.

The blond boy with a painful shoulder stepped aside to rest, leaving Alex with a proud face standing in the middle of the open space.

After watching for a while, Charles found that the basic skills of such male children are fairly solid. The three basic attacks of slashing, stab, and cutting, as well as footwork and block are all straightforward. Almost reached the passing level, it can be seen that Algernon has worked hard in education.

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the Alex and a boy with purple hair clashed.
