Abyss Knight

The bald-headed Hu Cong felt very comfortable listening to the children’s debate about no changes day after day. At present, only these innocent children can make him comfortable.

After bypassing a few streets, Hu Cong, bald, came to the central stone house. This stone house occupies an area of ​​the largest building in the manor, with more than a hundred steps left and right, and more than 30 steps before and after. There is not only a restaurant, but also a storage room for storing weapons and equipment, and a room that can accommodate Hu Cong and Hu Cong servants.

Pushing open the central wooden door, bald-headed Hu Cong walked in. A ray of sunlight shone through the door, making the darkened hall a lot brighter.

In the center of the hall is a long table, facing the door. There is only one chair at the northernmost end, with six on the left and right.

Hu Cong, bald-headed, chose the first chair of the right hand to sit down. This is his position in this room. Above him, it was the seat of the old Knight of the manor.

Leaning on the hard high-backed chair, Hu Cong stared closely at the first chair in white bear skin. He knew that if anyone sat on that chair, it represented who controlled the manor. There have been countless times in his sleep when he sat on that chair and pointed at his Hu Cong on both sides.

Looking down on it for a long time, he turned to the quaint long table in front of him.

I remember when he came here for the first time that year, the old Knight proudly told him that this table was built after his father, Old Ancestor became Knight. On this table, not only the Old Ancestor father of the old Knight issued a decree and reprimanded Hu Cong, it was his grandfather, father and the old Knight himself who all issued decree and reprimanded Hu Cong on this table.

“Three hundred and 89 Hu Congs once sat at this table. Fifteen Hu Congs became Knights, and eight of them got their own manor.” Hu Cong had a bald head. From time to time, I recalled what the old Knight said. “When I was a kid, those Knights used to come here to party, but now they haven’t been here for a long time.”

“A Knight family, maybe it just fell away.” Hu Cong with a bald head from his cloak He stretched out his thick fingers and gently stroked the table in front of him. The sleek tabletop made him feel as if every powerful Knight held a toast to the owner who was heading up. The silver goblet rubbed the table top, the thick animal skin paper polished the wooden thorns on it, and the medals were neatly placed on it for the owner and others to appreciate.

While bald Hu Cong was meditating, footsteps sounded from the passage on the right side of the living room. After a while, the small door on the wall opened and several tall Knight Hu Cong walked out of it. They wore neat Hu Cong robes, or long swords, war swords, or battle axes and spears.

Among them, the lowest is more than six cubits tall, and the tallest is seven cubits, but if they stand with bald Hu Cong, they must be at least one cubit shorter.

According to Hu Cong’s bald head, one cubit in this world is equivalent to thirty centimeters in the previous life. He is a full eight cubits high, equivalent to about 2.4 meters in the previous life. Standing in front of these dwarfs, a finger flicked on their foreheads and they could be knocked to the ground.

Of course, this is just bald Hu Cong’s wishful thinking that’s all. Among these Hu Cong, even the weakest one can fight him for a long time before losing.

Ten sturdy men filed in the small gate. They were all Hu Cong of the old Knight. Like the bald Hu Cong, they prepared armor, horse weapons and servants according to the rules of the empire. , To serve the old Knight and follow the orders of the old Knight. In order to get the guidance of the old Knight, in order to become a real Knight. He even dreamed of obtaining a manor with the help of the connections left by the old Knight father or grandfather.

Ten Hu Cong were seated left and right, plus bald Hu Cong, a total of eleven Hu Cong. According to the rules of the Empire, a Knight who owns a manor can train twelve Knight Hu Cong at the same time. And those Knights who don’t have a manor can only train three Hu Cong. This gap is caused by the existence of the manor.

“Perhaps the old Knight can’t make up twelve Knight Hu Cong at the same time in his life. It’s a pity that all his three sons have lost their lives during training with other Knights, otherwise he would not be successful. Looks like this.” Looking at the last chair that was vacated, Hu Cong, bald-headed, couldn’t help but remember that two years ago, when the old Knight got the news that his youngest son was killed while fighting a mob, he suddenly fell ill. It has not recovered until now.

According to the regulations of the Latour Empire, if a Knight’s heir wants to become a Knight, he must go to other Knights to receive training, but cannot follow his father to receive training.

The empire did this only to allow the Knights to exchange their skills with each other, thereby further increasing Knight’s power. Unexpectedly, the old Knight lost his three sons.

Everyone sat quietly on the chairs without talking. About a quarter of an hour later, an old man in steward costume walked in from outside.

After standing next to the first chair, the old steward trembled his hands and took out a piece of animal skin paper from his arms to spread it on the table hoarsely and said: “From today onwards, Hu Cong Kukas masters The patrol of the manor territory.” Nian said here, the old Steward paused for a while and put his eyes on the bald Hu Cong.

“All follow Lord Knight’s orders.” Hu Cong, bald, stood up straight and performed Hu Cong etiquette. After the old Steward was satisfied and nodded, he sat down. Kukas is the name of the bald man in this world, and his name in the previous life is Li Song.

Then the old steward read another ten appointments, corresponding to the other ten Knight Hu Cong. Some of these Hu Congs master defense, some master patrols in the manor, and some master weapons, armor, and guard. After some appointment, apart from the financial control by the old steward, the important matters in the manor were all controlled by the eleven Hu Cong.

“Master Knight is very worried about you, but in order to let you get training in advance, he still decides to leave these things under your control temporarily. I hope you can put aside your prejudices and cooperate with each other. The manor is well maintained.” The old Steward trembled and gave all the appointments. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the eleven Knight Hu Cong.

“We will complete the appointment of Lord Knight, and we will definitely not let him down.”

Most of the past two years, the old Steward came to the living room to announce things to everyone. Therefore, they do not doubt whether the life of old Steward is wrong. If it really doesn’t work, everyone can collectively find old Knight to ask in person.

Old Steward was satisfied and nodded, and after signalling the Hu Cong to go to dinner, he shook his body and headed for a courtyard behind the stone house. This is where the old Knight recuperates. Unless there are important things, Hu Cong usually don’t go there to disturb the old Knight.

Silence all the way, the bald-headed Hu Cong Kukas and the other Hu Cong are not tempered, and the other Hu Congs are not temperamental to each other. In this manor, unless necessary, the Hu Cong rarely talk to each other.

Follow the stone house corridor and enter the restaurant. Twelve long tables are placed in the large dining room. Each table can accommodate five people.

Kukas was sitting on the table by the window. He was alone here, because he was not at all in this manor to help him wear armor and take care of the horses. As for the other Knight Hu Cong, four servants followed. But those servants dare not eat with their masters, but wait for the master to eat before they eat some leftovers.

Three pounds of meaty pieces, ten palm-size pieces of white bread, two elbow hams, a turkey and a small bucket of milk. These are Kukas breakfasts.

Throwing the knife and fork on the table aside, he reached out and grabbed a piece of bread, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed. The huge palm makes the bread that looks normal to the average person looks a little small in his hand.

I grabbed the bread and the meat in one hand, and grabbed the small wooden bucket that can hold three pounds of milk and ate it. Occasionally I would stop and tear the meat from the turkey, so it was easy to eat.

Although it is winter, the sweat from Kukas’s bald head and his cheeks rolled down his cheeks after eating hard. He didn’t care about this either, and after wiping it with a soft cloth, he continued to struggle with the food in front of him.

Some of the other Knight Hu Congs cut the food with knives and forks very elegantly, and some were extremely crude like Kukas, and did not deal with the food in front of them with any Knight etiquette. No one ridiculed, and there was no expression of contempt in the sense of servanthood.

One of the food that was 20% more than other Knight Hu Cong was eaten cleanly by Kukas. Even the turkey plate had no half calcaneus bones. The bald man ate it all.

“The food is still a bit low, it seems that the kitchen should be increased tomorrow.” Licking the greasy surrounding his big mouth, Kukas stood up and walked outside with satisfaction.

“Kukas, you should control your appetite, otherwise the women in the kitchen will think you increase their workload and complain about you.” A blond-haired Knight put down gracefully With a knife and fork in his hand, he wiped the corner of his mouth with a soft cloth and whispered.

The bald guy gave him a white look. He disinclined to pay attention to the blond Hu Cong, because he often said this since the blond Hu Cong found that he ate a lot more food than others.

After closing the restaurant door heavily, Kukas walked towards the stable with an annoyed look. He wants to ride a war horse and go outside the manor to cultivation Knight skills.

“Damn boy, according to the rules, you have been in this manor for four and a half years, and for another six months, whether you become a Knight or not, you must leave the manor. Waiting for you to leave the manor. The day you died was the day you died.” Kukas fiercely slapped his bald head. He hated that Hu Cong very much, but that Hu Cong was about the same as him. He wanted to defeat and kill him head-on. How sure.

That’s why I came up with the idea of ​​taking advantage of the five-year Hu Cong period to end, using the other party’s happiness or sadness to kill the other party with the least effort.
