Son of the Olden Days

Since the light calendar entered the dark calendar, the continent of Salvinia has roughly three hundred and sixty days each year, and each day is 22 hourglass hours long. Every thirty days is a month, and every three months corresponds to a season.

Each month is divided into four weeks, and each week includes seven days: wind, thunder, frost, scorching, star fall, obscurity, and holy light day, starting from wind and thunder day and ending holy light day , The cycle repeats.

Today is Lei Yaori, a very ordinary day, and it is also the day of a duel between the orphan Thor Drake and the blacksmith's son Lorton Weir.

Just after noon, many children of different ages had gathered in the backyard of the monastery. Among them were the orphans of the monastery, and many children from the town heard the news and came to join in the fun.

Even if the matter of the duel reaches the town, it is not worth mentioning in the adult world, not even a joke. However, for the children in the small town, the excitement brought about by this incident is no less than that of the Eludomon Festival.

The Eludomon Festival is a more important traditional festival of the year.

In order to be grateful for the harvest and the light, celebrations are held at the beginning of each year. However, in the early spring of this year, the town of Gray Screen was still trapped in the gloom of famine, so the celebration did not take place as scheduled.

For these children rushing to watch the excitement, it may not matter who wins and who died in the duel in the end, they are just to make up for the lively and joyous atmosphere of the celebration through this event.

Dense crowds crowded in the open space, a noisy scene.

There are even children from different backgrounds aiming at business opportunities, peddling their own snacks to the crowd, the ones that are almost the cat meat and yogurt, and the better ones are the breaded chicken drumsticks and fruit wine.

There was a big discrepancy between the current situation and Sol's expectations. The nuns and deacons did not intervene in this uproar. The monastery remained silent about the duel. This is what puzzled Sol the most.

"Hey! Did you see it? That's the one in the duel, orphan Sol Drake."

"Are you kidding? That skinny monkey figure is not much better than me? Have you seen Lorton's burly?"

"You know what a fart! This is not a brute force competition. Body size can indeed bring some strength advantages, but it does not mean victory. Duel is more a test of comprehensive ability. In addition to strength, it is also related to speed, tactics, willpower and many other aspects. "

When Sol and Shuggs appeared on the sidelines, they attracted a lot of attention.

Saul is not used to this kind of lively occasion, and Shuggs seems to enjoy the atmosphere very much, he walks boldly with his hands behind his head out of thin air, with a carefree and leisurely appearance.

The meeting time was in the afternoon. At this moment, Lotton hadn't arrived yet, and only his follower, Banwaller, was busy leading all his men.

A circular battlefield has been reserved in the center of the open space, and spectators can only watch from outside the field.

In order to maximize the dispersal of the darkness in the open space, Waller is directing several of his men to adjust the position of the surrounding lights. They also moved the platform of the choir to the open space, wiped it clean and used it as a seat.

This seat is obviously not for children of ordinary status. At this moment, Ruianna and a few girls occupy a small part of the seat, and they are sitting quietly together and talking to each other in low voice.

They are like a beautiful landscape, attracting the eager eyes of many boys from time to time.

"Master..."

The young guard walked on Feith's side and stopped talking, seeming to use the lord's face to support this kind of nonsense between children when Faith was negotiating with the bishop just now.

Faith curled his lips.

"What's the matter? Warren, you are not too old-fashioned. The town of Grayscreen is already on the edge of the continent. Originally, it was boring enough for the family to throw me in such a poor country. Couldn't I have some fun by myself?"

Feth spoke without waiting for Warren's response, and walked to the seat and sat down beside Riana.

The several girls who originally surrounded Rui Anna dispersed wittily after seeing this scene, leaving enough space for the two of them.

One is the son of the lord and the other is the daughter of a strong family. The families behind the two have cooperation in many aspects. It is said that there is an intention to marry, but for now, the age of the two is not urgent.

The two have always been low-key, and they are also very clear about each other's background. Although they don't have any special liking for each other at the moment, they will not refuse some ordinary polite exchanges.

"Unexpectedly, Miss Reanna would also be interested in this kind of children's game!"

Kid? Those present, including you and me, belong to children as long as they have not passed the coming-of-age ceremony? Putting his arms around the skirt to make his sitting posture more formal, the light in Riana's eyes flashed across Faith's face.

"I can't talk about interest, on the contrary I feel a bit reckless."

"Reckless? You mean both sides of the duel?" Faith asked with interest.

"No, I mean the matter itself. In this way, using force is not the only option."

Ruianna's family is very powerful. In her family's current status, many things no longer need to be used by force and can achieve their goals with only a few wrists. Force has become a relatively low-end kind of family's many methods.

In Ruianna's view, these are just some episodes between children of this age, more like a joke in the teenage years, far from the point of life and death, so this kind of duel sounds more like a grandstanding slogan.

But even if Saul heard Rianna's evaluation at this moment, he would only disagree. When faced with many things, there were not many choices for orphans, and more importantly, he had no time to slowly sharpen his sword.

Faith looked up after thinking for a moment.

"Perhaps..., don't you think that fighting is also a way of life for men?"

Before Rui Anna responded, the surrounding crowd suddenly became noisy, and people's eyes focused on the other side of the venue.

In the dim light, the burly figure of Lorton appeared on the sidelines.

He was wearing an old metal chain armor, and he looked like he had just returned from the wilderness, his expression was a bit tired, and his whole person looked like a dusty man.

Waller and the others enthusiastically gathered around him, and Lorton seemed to say something in a deep voice, and his subordinates dispersed again with interest.

Then Lorton turned around and disappeared into an ear chamber, and later a follower sent some things in.

When Lorton re-entered the battle scene to face Thor, he had already changed his leather armor.

Thor frowned slightly. He didn't know if Lorton's change of armor was out of contempt or a targeted choice to make up for his lack of agility. Thor very hoped that it would be the former.

The duel was about to begin, and the seats on the stairs were already crowded with people, and the other people who were not qualified to sit also found a position that was conducive to their watching.

Waller jumped into the battlefield and stopped between the two warring parties, praising Lotton's past achievements and adventures in the wilderness to everyone around him. It sounded like that.

Then he turned his gaze to Thor, as if he was ready to introduce him along with him.

Now Valler can't take advantage of anything on hand, so he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to step on Sol's face with words, but Valler was interrupted before he could speak.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Shuggs did not know when he stood at the highest point of the seat of the ladder, holding half of the firewood in his hand, and was hitting a broken copper basin that he had picked up from nowhere.

After attracting everyone's attention, Shuggs spoke excitedly.

"This is not the alternation of old and new forces, nor the division between justice and evil. This is just a story of an orphan facing the injustice of fate and fighting like a man."

"Today, let us witness how Thor Drake, an orphan walking in the dark, a great warrior born in the ordinary, the guardian of the chastity of the goddess of light, became a real man."

Shuggs's face was stained with blush, obviously it took him a lot of effort to shout these words out loud.

Saul was not grateful for this, he didn't even have the courage to look back at Shuggs at this moment.

Great fighter? Guardian of the goddess chastity? Become a real man?

Damn it, it's so ashamed! Hearing these messy words from Shuggs, Saul felt as if he had been living as a woman before.

Yesterday, when Shuggs suggested that it was necessary to do some pre-war encouragement, Saul didn't take it to heart. In fact, he didn't even know what Shuggs was going to do.

So now Saul could only curse in the bottom of his heart while silently frantic, resisting the urge to turn back and rush up to strangle the noisy fly, Shuggs.

Some people become dangerous once they cross the boundaries of friends. They are very good at putting their friends in all kinds of embarrassment in full view, so as to express their special friendship with friends.

Shuggs is obviously such a person.
