My Maid Knight

2022-03-09/p>Chapter 19 Will

Elland Plains, outside the Safety Sector.

Roy was lying on the hillside, and through the scope, he quietly looked at the wolves about three hundred meters away from him under the hillside.

The strength of the individual coyote is not strong, and any well-trained, fully armed warrior can defeat it.

The tricky part is that they are pack animals, and to hunt it, be prepared to be surrounded by wolves.

But for Roy with the Black Sniper, none of this is a problem.

Roy quietly activated the Eye of Insight, and the golden light flashed away from the depths of his eyes.

He pulled the trigger and shot a sharp arrow, instantly pinning a coyote to the ground.

The wolves were in chaos, but they didn’t find any attackers.

Another arrow was fired.

This arrow was slanted on the ground, and he shot it crooked on purpose.

on the arrow was tied with a special flash bomb, and a strong light shot out among the wolves.

It disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Roy got up, patted the dust on his body, went downhill, and recovered the arrow one after another.

As for the hapless coyote who was shot to death by an arrow, it was cut into pieces by Harvey’s escort on the spot.

Wolf teeth, wolf skin, wolf meat… The whole body of the coyote is full of treasures.

“The experiment is over?”

Harvey laughed, “My people have cleaned up the wolf meat, you can take it back to make soup.”

“What are you bringing?” Roy waved his hand. “You and the big brothers, the guards, have been running with me all day, so let’s keep it for you tonight!”

Harvey turned his head for a while. Staring: “Thank you Young Lord Roy soon?”

The guards laughed and thanked him one after another.

Roy didn’t know whether to cry or laugh patted his shoulder: “It’s better to practice arrow technique if you have this funny energy! I’m going first, it’s really hard for you today, stay with me. All the way down to the Elland Plain.”

“Small things.”

Harvey said nonchalantly, “It’s all for this sake, you must win tomorrow’s bet! Don’t let it go! People saw the joke.”

“Must have!” Roy was confident.

After a whole day of testing, he has a general understanding of his own strength.

On the plains here, the Black Sniper is dominating the coyotes.

Even if Arthur temporarily breaks through to Second Rank, the hunting efficiency is impossible higher than him.

Breaking goodbye to Harvey, Roy returned to Arnold Mansion.

After dinner, he soaked himself in the tub and closed his eyes in thought.

Be it a bet, a Black Sniper, or a World Tree, too many things happened today.

He felt his heart beating wildly, was it because of fear?

No, maybe because of excitement and anticipation.

He has lived in this world for fourteen years, and during these fourteen years, he has been living a relatively peaceful life.

But when he woke up to become an inheritor at the age of ten, he began to understand that his life in the future would not continue to be dull.

It was originally expected that this peaceful life would be shattered when he entered the Inheritance Academy next year.

But the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes.

The trajectory of his life had quietly changed a week ago when he met the girl from his doorstep.

As for whether this change is good or bad…

Let’s leave it to time to witness.

At least for now, he thinks, there’s nothing wrong with it.

He recalled how he took Arya’s hand, the cool, smooth, soft touch from her palm, and the good smell on her.

He recalled the moment when the arrow shot out from the string and hit the coyote, and his heart was filled with excitement.

He recalled the time when the arrow was pulled from the coyote, blood flowed under his feet, dyeing the earth red, and he became a hunter who controlled the life and death of his prey.

Everything was so new to him, it was fascinating.

Tired of the walking corpse-like social animal life in his previous life, he longed for a different relationship and a thrilling battle.

Perhaps I was born to be an ordinary person.

Washing off his exhaustion, Roy went back to the bedroom.

Today’s outing made him a little tired, and he was about to fall asleep early when there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Young Lord, may I come in?” Arya’s voice came from the door.

“Come in.”

Arya opened the door and saw Roy who was already lying on the bed, and suddenly stopped in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you today Go to bed so early.”

Usually at this time, they are still reading their homework.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Roy got up and put on a coat, sat in front of the bed, patted the bed, “let’s talk.”

Arya sat down Beside him, his expression was a little melancholy. After a long silence, he opened the mouth and said: “Young Lord, the oath I made to you last night was not half false.”

“Of course I believe that you can win. I made a bet, but I couldn’t help thinking about it. I thought about it for a long time… and finally figured out something.”

She looked towards Roy, her eyes full of determination, “I don’t know. The whole content of the bet, I have no power to control the outcome of the bet, but I will use my way to prove my loyalty.

“Please believe me, Young Lord, this is my home , I will not go. “

Hey, what’s the matter with such a heroic tone?

Roy’s throat feels dry, Arya’s will is conveyed without reservation through her eyes and words I gave it to myself.

She was serious.

When Arya said this, there was an uncontrollable timidness in her determined expression, like a It was raining heavily outside, but the dog was drenched outside the door by the owner.

The dog was shivering outside the door, wagging its tail quickly, and the only thing in the wet eyes was the message to the owner.

Good and desperate to go home.

His deep in one’s heart can’t help but feel a tinge of guilt.

He’s been trying to make Arya feel safe all week .

But if she really felt safe at the moment, she wouldn’t say this.

“Sorry. “

Roy whispered, “Please also trust me, I will win. And, from now on, I will never take this bet again. “

“No no, it’s me who should apologize for causing you trouble.” “Arya hurriedly hooked the head.

Arthur came for her, and this had nothing to do with Roy. Whether the bet was accepted or not, it was actually Roy who was protecting her in different ways.

If he really wanted to let it go, he would have made a deal with Arthur to hand her over.

“Since you’re my maid, don’t make trouble like that. Moreover. ”

Roy laughed, “Tell me about your childhood if you can. ”

“A childhood story? ”

“It’s just the daily life of your family, no matter how small things are, as well as your hobby, hobby, any impressive things that happened in the past, you can talk about it, just be friends chat. “

Roy started, “For example, when I was a child, my mother died early, and my father gave me very strict instructions, and often called me into the study to recite the ancient book. You should have seen my father, don’t look at his big and three thick, in fact, he likes reading more than dancing with knives and guns. “

Arya tilted her head, “My father is not that strict, but he asks me to be persistent.” I liked to play the violin when I was a child, so he asked me to play the violin for more than an hour every day all.

“Father is also a very family-oriented person, and every day all will accompany me. When I play the violin, he will sit next to me and make a cup of tea, and read the newspaper while drinking tea, and I don’t know. Are you reading the newspaper seriously, because he always falls asleep!”

When talking about the past, her expression always softened, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if immersed in a In a sweet dream.

She gradually opened up the conversation, and Roy occasionally interjected, and more often played the role of the listener in this chat.

In the chat with Arya, he can roughly imagine the character hobby of some important figures in the Christian House family, and the family atmosphere in normally.

I don’t know if it was because of the family filter, he found that Arya described her father as a very good person.

He has a good temper and is very family friendly. He rarely quarrels with his family. Everyday all will take time to spend with his daughter.

But her father is the patriarch of the Christian House family, the sinner who led the whole family to destruction because of the felony of selling slaves!

This is his disguise in front of his daughter?

Or is he just a scapegoat?

Roy asked intentionally or unintentionally, “I heard that you and Arthur are life friends. Does your father, normally, have contacts with people from the Adams House family?”

Mentioned Arthur, Arya’s brows suddenly frowned, she thought for a while and said:

“The Christian House family and the Adams House family are indeed family friends, Arthur’s father is Adams’ patriarch, and he used to come to my house often. But he always brought Arthur with him when he came, and at this time I would choose to go out and not play with him.”

Roy nodded slightly and changed the subject without a trace.

He had always felt something was wrong, and now he finally figured it out.

The influence of family atmosphere and elders’ words and deeds on children is not too big.

Arya was born in the Christian House family, an aristocratic Knight Aristocratic Family belonging to the Knights of the Temple. Excellent quality.

And Arthur? He was also born in the noble Knight Aristocratic Family, but he did not have the excellent character to match.

This morning, when he said, “Even if I break the contract, it doesn’t mean she’s willing to go with you”—

His answer was, “You don’t have to. Worried!”.

This is very intriguing. You can simply interpret this sentence as an impatient emotional expression, but if you take the tinted glasses of “selling slave” and re-examine it, you will find that it Almost the same as a criminal declaration.

Intimidation, kidnapping, training, imprisonment, isn’t that what slave traffickers do best?

This is what a person from a noble Knight Aristocratic Family should say?

Where did he learn about these dirty things and get used to them? Is it the nurture of the family environment?

Roy doesn’t know if the Christian House family is really guilty, but his intuition tells him that Arthur’s Adams House family has a high probability of being inseparable from this “slave trafficking case”!

Take a ten thousand steps back and say that the two families are family friends and they communicate frequently. Now that something happened to the Christian House, will Adams House really be as spotless as the white lotus?

Perhaps someone else was behind the Knights of the Temple scandal that rocked Sidonia’s aristocracy?

However, these speculations can only be kept in Roy’s heart for the time being. He understands that with his current strength, he cannot touch the dark side of these Sidonias.

But he will protect Arya no matter what.

Because she’s already from Arnold House.

And when he heard Arya’s narration, he also remembered something Reno had told him.

He once asked Reno: “father, what do you mean by aristocracy? Does it refer to the privileged class above the common people?”

At that time, Reno shook the head, serious Said: “Many people have forgotten, but you have to remember, Roy, the reason why nobles are nobles is not because of power and wealth, but because of their noble qualities and the sense of mission to perform noble duties.”

“A true noble will appreciate a powerhouse stronger than himself and protect those who are weaker than himself.

“He understands what is right and what is wrong, and keeps himself going On the right path, like a beacon in the dark night, guiding the people in the direction of progress, this is the obligation that every noble must perform. ”

Thinking about it this way, Reno didn’t object to him taking in Arya at first, is it because in his mind, protecting the weak is the right thing, and it is the duty of the nobles?

And what he wants to protect is not just the girl in front of him, but also the sense of mission to “keep himself on the right path”.

As long as it is the right thing to do, then go Do, this is what Reno once taught him, just like the family motto of Arnold House.

Even Arnold House, which is down and out of sight, has its own ambition to be a noble.
