Chapter 18

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 package and gave it to Zach: "this is a new year gift from Abel. He is still kind to you. Neither I nor your mother have a gift."

Maybe she thought his words were sour. Nala gave him a white look and said, "it's not easy for the child to remember to write to us less than a month ago. Do you need any gifts?"

Zach took the letter and the package, opened it first, and a big sword came out.

"This is a hundred practice sword made by the master." Taking out the big sword from the scabbard, Zach recognized the sword at a glance. The price of Bailian sword has always been priceless in the market. Although the price of up to 1000 gold coins makes everyone smack, there are still countless rich people rushing to buy it with their money bags.

The big sword is a standard weapon for knights. When two knights fight against each other, a knight with a hundred practice big sword can easily cut off the opponent's big sword, thus making the opponent lose weapons. What is the consequence of losing weapons to knights in battle? It can be imagined by people.

The knight Bennet, who just heard that his wife Nala said that he was not bad at gifts, saw Zach's hundred practice sword, and he was still using the 80 practice sword, so he couldn't help but say aloud, "I really am poor at gifts."

"Show me." For a good weapon, as a knight, there is no resistance. From Zach's hands, it's better to say that he has robbed a hundred practice swords. The knight Bennett waved in the restaurant and said: "Abel is a real boy. Just when he arrived at Harry castle, he took the castle's things and sent them to others. I'll write to him later to have a good talk."

"Not so." Open the letter is looking at Zach said: "Abel letter said that this is the first weapon he forged, give me as a new year gift."

The sword in Knight Bennet's hand stopped in the air, stared at the letter in Zach's hand and asked, "the letter says that this sword was forged by Abel himself?"

"Yes, father, Abel's letter is very clear." Zach replied positively.

"How could it be that Marshall learned a year as a blacksmith, and a year later he made a knife that could only cut beef on the table. Abel only went there for a month, and he could forge a hundred practice sword?" The knight Bennett felt that he had done something wrong when he gave Abel to his friend as his adopted son. Maybe he will regret it in a few years. No, he should have started to regret it after seeing this hundred practice sword.

The new year of Bennett castle was spent in a strange atmosphere. Zach's surprise, Bennett's Knight's regret, Nala's missing, but Abel in Harry Castle didn't know all this.

Harry castle, Marshall knight took Abel to the harvest city to attend the new year's party held by the Lord, viscount Dickens. The party started at night, but Marshall knight took Abel out early in the morning.

The road from Marshall Knight's castle to harvest city is very well built. The whole road is a curved road made of small rocks, which is high in the middle and low on both sides. There is only a slight bump when the carriage runs on it. It takes more than an hour to get there in 100 miles.

Seeing the harvest city from afar is like a creeping tiger. Only when you get close to it can you feel its majesty and magnificence. This is the largest city in the south of the Duchy of Kamal. The 20 meter high wall, as well as dozens of cannons loaded on the wall, all show the severity of the city.

"Uncle Marshall, why is harvest city so tightly defended?" Abel looked at the 20 meter high wall and the large number of city guarding equipment on it. He asked strangely.

This is the southernmost part of the holy land, the hinterland of the human world. There is a principality separated from the orc Empire, which is called the safest principality. Why build the city into a fortress of war?

"Abel, we have at least one official Knight stationed in every fiefdom of the Duchy of Carmel. In front of this harvest City, the respected Lord of the city, viscount Dickens, is a Knight Commander." Marshall Knight's eyes were a little confused. He seemed to recall some past events, sighed and said, "the reason for this is the orc empire."

"But the orc empire is in the far north, guarded by the marvelous towns of the alliance of mankind." These Abels know that only when miracle city defends the orcs in the north can the human kingdom live safely.

In this world, the orcs are the best fighting nation. The crazy breeding of their race leads to their frequent lack of food. In order to alleviate the food crisis, the orcs will launch a war. On the one hand, they can snatch food through war, on the other hand, they can reduce the population.

And the human closest to the orc Empire has become the goal of the orcs. In order to survive, human beings have built a military fortress in the only way between human society and the orc empire in the Budapest mountains. This city is the miracle city.

All human beings know that as long as there is a miracle City, there is no need to worry about the invasion of orcs.

"In recent decades, the orc Empire has added some attack methods. They use flying beasts that can carry people to fly over the Budapest mountains to destroy the human rear." The Marshall Knight said in a somewhat skeptical tone, "to say it's sabotage, I agree that it's a trial."Speaking, the carriage has arrived at the gate of the harvest city. A long line of soldiers are waiting to enter the city in front of the ten meter high gate. At the front is the inspection and charging of soldiers one by one, and then the soldiers are released. The speed of the soldiers is not fast. If they are in line at this time, it may take an hour to enter the city.

But the carriage didn't stop. In the envious eyes of the queuing crowd, the carriage entered the city directly from the other side.

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

This makes Abel, who has been gradually integrated into the world, a little unaccustomed. In his original world, others line up. If you jump in the line, others will look at you with disdainful eyes. Here, Abel went straight into the city without even getting off the carriage.

The carriage came to a courtyard, which was Marshall's temporary residence in harvest city. As soon as it arrived at the gate, Robin, the left behind housekeeper, came out.

"Robin, Abel is going to live here these two days and clean up the independent yard, which will be Abel's later." The knight Marshall got out of the carriage and said to the housekeeper.

"Yes, master."

Robin, the housekeeper, has long heard that Marshall knight has an adopted son, and has directly become the successor of the castle. Now hearing Marshall Knight's order, we can see that the knight attaches great importance to this master Abel. That independent yard is the best residence besides the master's residence, and the knight's words become the master's private residence.

"Abel, would you like to visit my friends or visit harvest city?"

Seeing Abel's hesitation, the Marshall Knight couldn't help laughing: "of course, I don't need to ask. I will arrange Robin to accompany you to visit harvest city."

As for his adopted son Abel, Marshall Knight attached great importance to him. He didn't force Abel, but saw Abel's face and knew Abel's choice. The knight respected Abel's opinion.

He refused Robin's request to accompany him. Abe rode alone 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's day. There were many pedestrians on the streets.

As he was walking, there was a noisy voice in front of him. He was very familiar with the voice. Driving the horse to the noisy place, he saw Zach was arguing with three young people in leather armour. On the side stood a young girl with blonde hair. She was seventeen or eighteen years old. She was smart and witty. Her eyes were full of cunning. She was looking at Zach's argument with three young people with interest 。

"Big brother!" Abel's voice was a little excited. He was surprised to see his family here. He jumped off the horse and walked to Zach with the reins.

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

Let go of Abel. Zach turned to the three young men and said, "this is my brother Abel."

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

"Hello, my name is Emily," the young girl said to Abel with a smile Emily then looked up and down at Abe curiously.

Abe returned a gift and saw big brother Zach peeking at Emily's face. He laughed in his heart. Big brother is old enough to fall in love and has a girl he likes. Would you like to write a letter to his mother.

Martin didn't seem to think that Abel was so young. After a moment's loss of consciousness, he asked in a tone of uncertainty, "are you Abel who helped Zach forge the sword?"

Abel smiled and nodded. "Yes."

"It's really you!" Martin immediately gave a very warm salute and said, "nice to meet you! I didn't expect you to be so young. "

It can be seen that Martin is a very talkative person. He is also very cheerful and feels very easy to get along with. Abel has a good impression on him.
