Chapter 20 The Great Secret

At today's commendation conference, Morris's Knights are not among the commendation.

Because, they were the armed personnel hired by Sean.

It is their duty to protect the territory and protect the lives and property of the lords.

After all, Sean paid Morris' expensive salary every month, and they fought for the lords, which was also their duty.

Of course, despite this, it is impossible to deny everything that Morris's Knights have given to the territory.

Therefore, Sean made a decision in his mind. He was ready to reward Knight Morris with five gold coins and the other ten trainee knights, each with two gold coins.

You know, Morris' monthly salary is only two gold coins.

As for the ten trainee knights who have not passed the Knights Association certification assessment, their salary is only less than twenty silver coins. This time they are rewarded with two gold coins, and they are probably ecstatic for a long time.

The commendation conference ended, and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Sean, accompanied by Old John, returned to the castle.

How will those who receive the awards party and celebrate it? That is their business, because they have more important things to deal with.

Back in the study of the castle, Old John brought a glass of wine over, which was to quench the lord's thirst.

Sean took a deep sip of the wine and frowned.

The aristocratic class in this world basically does not drink water, either drink milk or drink alcohol.

The wine here tastes too bad, sour and astringent, with a hint of bitterness and sweetness. Anyway, the taste is a bit weird, and Sean doesn't like it very much.

Seeing this, Old John, who was serving the side, said with concern: "The master is not satisfied with the wine? This is your favorite wine before!"

Sean looked up at him and said, "People always change. What you like before does not mean you always like it. Things you don't like before does not mean you won't like it in the future."

Old John was stunned, "Master, I found that you have changed a lot and your words are becoming more and more philosophical."

Sean said angrily: "Is this a philosophy? Look at your superficial look."

Old John nodded in agreement, "Superficiality is not important to Old John. What is important is that Old John must do his job well and take good care of the master's diet and daily life."

"You're thinking clearly!"

Sean took out two gold coins that had been prepared from the drawer and handed them to Old John, "This is a reward for you."

"Thank you for the reward!"

Old John was not pretentious and directly collected the gold coins and put them in his pocket.

Then, Sean took out a purse from the drawer and said, "There are some silver coins in it, you can reward the servants of the castle."

Old John took the purse and said happily: "They will definitely praise the mercy of the master."

Sean deliberately said with a stern face: "Oh, damn old John, I just rewarded you with two gold coins, and I didn't see you so happy. Otherwise, you might as well give it to me."

Old John was amused, and tears came out as he smiled. While he was laughing, he wiped his eyes with his sleeves. Sean felt very uncomfortable.

However, at this time, the damn memories in your mind began to emerge again, making Sean whisper: "Old John, do you still remember? When I was seven years old, my mother was detained by the church trial for attending a witch doctor's party, and everything in the house was confiscated. During that time, you went to the market every morning to clean your boots, and then used the money you earned to buy cakes for me, but you secretly hid in the kitchen and ate potatoes.

I remember one day, you were covered in injuries and came back very late. I was very scared at home alone, so I ran downstairs to wait for you. When the neighbor saw that I was pitiful, he gave me an apple. I kept thanking her. Later, you showed up with my favorite strawberry pie. I didn't thank you. You pretended to be angry and teased me like this at that time..."

After saying that, Sean looked at him quietly, "Old John, when I was young, you were so tall and protected me all the time. Now your back is hunched and your waist is bent. I will protect you from now on."

Old John was silent for a long time and said, "Master Sean, you have grown up, you have really grown up, Miss Cathy knows that she will be very proud."

Sean nodded, "I know, I've always been her pride."

Old John took a few deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and said slowly: "By the way, there is something I have forgotten to remind you that Miss Cathy will celebrate her birthday soon. Master Sean should go back to visit her. You know, since you have been in Black Hawk Town for so long, she has always missed you very much."

"I will."

At this time, a notice from little Tom came from outside the door, and the Cavalier Morris was coming.

Seeing this, Old John hurriedly said, "I'll go and greet him!"

Soon, Morris appeared in front of Sean. "Lord!"

I saw that he was fully armed, his face was covered with wind and sand, and his lips were dry and many cracks appeared. I guess he had been galloping for a long time in order to track the escaped thief leader today.

"Sit down and say!"

Sean signaled him to find a seat to sit down, and Old John poured him a full glass of wine.

Morris thought he was already thirsty, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, looking like he was still unsatisfied.

Seeing this, Old John next to him hurriedly poured him a cup, but Morris finished drinking it in one sip.

After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Morris gasped comfortably and looked very comfortable.

After he took a moment of ease, Sean asked slowly, "How is it, have you chased me?"

Morris shook his head and said, "We followed the scented bloodstains left by the Fangs and they kept track of the forest. We found that they were crossing the river with the seriously injured Fangs. We rushed up and fought fiercely, successfully killing a thief. Just as we were about to shoot Fangs, a wizard riding a giant suddenly appeared in the woods opposite. She rescued the injured Fangs and we dared not chase them!"

"The wizard riding the giant saved Fangs?"

Sean frowned, "Didn't the wizard hurt you?"

Morris shook his head, "No, the wizard seems to be not hostile to us, otherwise we would never have come back alive."

Sean sighed, "If Fangs don't die for a day, our territory will be difficult to be peaceful, and this is indeed a problem."

Morris said: "Lord, don't worry too much. The fangs are extremely serious. It is estimated that it will be difficult to survive. Even if he can recover from his injuries, it will not be a short time."

Hearing this, Sean nodded and said slowly: "Since you have found giants and wizards in the dark forest, don't enter the forest outside the border in the future. Even daily inspections should be far away from the forest. That place is too weird and dangerous. I don't want you to sacrifice there for nothing."

"Okay, Lord Lord!"

Morris picked up the wine glass and took a deep breath, saying, "Although we did not succeed in killing Fang, we captured a wounded thief and brought him back to the territory."

Sean frowned and said, "What are you bringing it back to do? Just kill it without any worries?"

Morris said, "I was going to kill him, but he said there was an important secret to tell the Lord, so we brought it back."

Hearing this, Sean's heart moved and curiously said, "There is still this? Where is he now?"

"I just asked someone to imprison him in the dungeon of the castle, waiting for the Lord to see him!"
