Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 18 Guntar I

"You are the most powerful swordsman I have ever seen," Guntar said, "even stronger than Commander Redger."

"Haha, silly boy, it means you haven't seen enough." Uncle Beldan said with a smile, "This world is not just Black Peak Castle."

"That's why I'm here," Guntar explained, "I want adventure, I want glory, I want to experience more."

The Amber Knights in Guntar's heart should have been the first warriors to bear the brunt of the empire, but now they can only spend their lives doing nothing in Black Peak Castle.

Some knights wanted to make a name for themselves in the arena, some became mercenaries, but most of them did nothing, wasting their time in the castle.

"You mentioned these thoughts to me in your letter," Berdan said. "I like your determination and courage, but are you really sure this is what you want?"

"Of course!" Guntar said firmly, puffing out his chest, "I'm ready!"

Guntar knew in his heart that this was not a whim decision, he didn't want to stay in the Black Peak Castle for the rest of his life doing nothing, practicing sword and riding skills all day long but having nowhere to use them.He wants to get more for himself.

"There are many opportunities in the city of Madkalin, but it is also full of dangers." Uncle reminded him, "In a prosperous city, criminals are at large, and the life and death of civilians is not as important as a few silver coins."

"I'm not afraid," insisted Guntar. "If I had been afraid of these little difficulties, I wouldn't be here, Uncle."

Beldan looked at his face and sighed helplessly: "You are still that stubborn little boy back then. I still remember that when you were young, you clamored for me to teach you swordsmanship and train with you every day. It was such a troublesome little trouble." Ghost."

Talking about the previous stories, my uncle began to smile, and the wrinkles on his face slowly squeezed together.

"You have amber eyes, did I tell you the legend about the Amber Lake?" Belldan asked.

"Yes, you told me," replied Guntar, "but it was only a legend." Although he said so, he was very happy in his heart.

Of course he remembered the stories his uncle told him when he was a child, and the legend of "Amber Knight" Alwald was one of his favorite stories.

Legend has it that Arvard returned to his hometown of Blackpeak from Amberia, the easternmost region of the empire, on his deathbed.

After his death, Hedar, God of the Death Star, saw that his soul was reluctant to leave Hastza, and was moved by his obsession, so he made an exception and left him in the world to guard Black Peak Fort.

Over time, the lake beside the castle turned amber color as clear as Elwald's armor.And those who are blessed by this lake will be born with amber eyes.

Both his parents have brown eyes and he is amber.His peers envied his eye color, and his parents always had high hopes for him.

This made Guntar feel that he was very special, and he would definitely become an outstanding knight like Alvard.

"You are a blessed person," said the uncle meaningfully. "This means that you shoulder responsibilities that are different from ordinary people."

"I'm ready, Uncle Beldan." Guntar confirmed again.

The three stopped when they walked to the square, and Beldan said kindly: "I know, I have prepared a gift for you for this. Wait for me here for a while, I will go to Renwang Street."

Guntar nodded expectantly, what kind of gift would his uncle give him?

The amphitheater on the south side of the square is deserted, and it seems that there are no games available for viewing.

"I heard that Sir Frobertus was killed in the gladiatorial fight," Farrow said, leading Snowy by the hand, and looking towards the arena. "They say his opponent won in a dirty way."

"He was a worthy knight, and he died in search of glory, an honorable death," Guntar said.

He remembered Sir Frobertus, a strong knight with agility and a contagious smile, who could defeat him no weaker opponent.

"My lord, please let me go! I really don't know anything!" There was a noise from the west corner of the square.

A civilian was cornered by soldiers in bright silver armor. They wore full-faced helmets with white peaks, chainmail attached to the helmets to protect their necks, and long swords pinned to their waists.

Seeing this, passers-by on the street hurriedly avoided them and walked away.

"You live next door to the carpenter, haven't you heard anything?" The leading soldier was much taller than the people around him, and he grabbed the collar of the man's brown sackcloth intimidatingly.

"Gods, I, I swear I didn't hear anything!" The man's tone was flustered, and his eyes were full of horror as he looked at the soldier.

The leading soldier was not satisfied with this answer, raised his hand and punched the man in the face. "Do you remember anything?"

How could the thin body of the man stand up to the beatings of the soldiers? His mouth was bleeding, his right cheek was red and swollen, he was trembling and unable to speak a word.

"You wait here," Guntar said to Farrow.He walked towards the soldiers himself.

He cannot tolerate this kind of behavior of bullying the weak. As a soldier of the Hastza Empire, he should protect the people in the city instead of abusing them like this.

"Say it sooner, and get rid of it sooner." After saying that, the soldier raised his hand to beat the half-dead man again.

"Stop! Let go of that poor man!" Guntar shouted to the leading soldier. He was protecting the jaw of the sword with his left hand and holding the hilt with his right, ready to draw the long sword at all times.

Hearing his stop, the soldier put down the man in his hand and turned to look at Guntar.

"Don't get yourself into trouble, swordsman." The lead soldier's blue eyes peeked out from under his visor.

"I am Sir Guntar Kavalek of Black Peak Castle," Guntar revealed the amber-carved sword head, "an amber knight."

"The sissy knights of Black Peak Castle," the lead soldier spat, "a brat like you can be a knight, are all your kind men dead?" These words made the other soldiers burst into laughter.

"I was personally awarded by Redger Loras, the commander-in-chief of the Amber Knight," Guntar said angrily, "If you insult the Amber Knight again, my The sword will shut you up."

The lead soldier's eyes became serious, "Fuck his Amber Knight, and that shit Redgarr."

Anger welled up in Guntar's heart, he drew his long sword and pointed it at the leading soldier, he had warned him, it was his own fault.

The leading soldier snorted disdainfully, and pulled out his sword from his waist, "You pulled out your weapon against the royal guards of the empire, knight, and you need to bear the corresponding consequences."
