From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 48 An Egg

After the training, Colin looked at the egg in his hand and licked his lips. It felt like a dream, just like the lord said before that building a house would provide food.

Just in the morning, the shock caused by Lord Knight's announcement of the lord's order is still vivid. The first thought in everyone's mind is a lie. After all, how can nobles send money to the militia, and return eggs if they are well trained?

Isn't this a dream?

Afterwards, Lord Cavalier subverted their thoughts with practical actions. Just after noon, ten teams were praised, and among them was Colin's team.

So, under everyone's envious eyes, the officer in charge of distributing food gave each of them a hard-boiled egg.

Looking around, I found that many people's eyes were unconsciously aiming at them. To be precise, they should be aiming at eggs.

Although most people in the southern region can't go hungry, eggs and meat are still luxuries for the rich. An egg can be sold for two coppers, and they are generally used for sale, and few people use it to satisfy their appetites.

Colin swallowed, and lightly knocked the fragile eggshell on the stone below him. The sound of the broken eggshell seemed to fall into his ears very crisply.

Carefully wiped his hands on the clothes, and carefully peeled off the egg shell and film, revealing the steaming egg white.

Regardless of the heat, he took a bite and felt his mouth full of fragrance. He quickly wiped out a small egg. Colin licked his lips and teeth with unsatisfied desire. It was a month ago that he had an egg last time. .

Strange to say, a small egg actually gave him a great sense of satisfaction, and his dream soon changed from having a full meal every day to eating eggs frequently.

"It would be great if I could eat eggs every day." Smash it, feel the smell of eggs still lingering inside, and Colin couldn't help but start looking forward to dinner.

According to Lord Knight, ten teams will be selected in the afternoon, and there will be rewards...

For a moment, Ke Lin felt full of motivation. Their team was already relatively strong, and they had a great chance of winning. If they could keep going, wouldn't they be able to eat eggs every day?
With the longing for food, the soldiers enthusiastically devoted themselves to the afternoon training, and the rapid improvement in performance made Allen look a little sideways.

He couldn't help sighing in his heart that Ryan had a good idea of ​​these low-level soldiers, such as prosperity, wealth, and racial righteousness... These illusory things, in Ryan's words, are... painting cakes, yes, painting cakes!
Such a pie may be very important to people like Hans and Hom, but in the hearts of these militiamen, it is not as good as this small egg that can be seen and eaten...

At night, Ke Lin sat on the ground of the school ground a little tired, but with a smile on his face. Although everyone was secretly cheering, his team still stood out.

This also means that he can eat another egg.

Ke Lin thought about it happily, but shook his head after a while, and said to himself: "Let's take this back to my mother, she hasn't eaten eggs for a long, long time."

In his memory, every time the family ate eggs, Xiang Ting followed him and his younger brother to eat first. His mother always said that he had eaten eggs, but he didn't understand it when he was a child, but he didn't know what it meant until he grew up.

"Colin, this is your egg." The squad leader Laurie showed a rare smile on his face, and handed a hot egg to him.

"Thank you, Captain." Colin smiled immediately, and quickly put the egg into his pocket.

Laurie raised his eyebrows when he saw it, and then chose to ignore it, because according to the regulations, the food is only provided to them personally, and it is strictly forbidden to take it out, but this egg is his personal reward after all, and it doesn't affect anything if it is eaten by others .

Stretched out a big callused hand and patted his shoulder and said: "You did a good job, young man, let's make persistent efforts tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, I went to send eggs to others...

After announcing the disbandment, Ke Lin rarely asked for a leave of absence from the team leader. He was allowed to return to the team within two hours, because for the convenience of training, the militia dormitories surrounded the school grounds, and he could not go home without permission.

Walking on the way home, feeling the egg still warm in his pocket, he even walked a little briskly. He only felt that he had met a good lord.

Although he had only seen that figure from a distance in the square in the city, but combined with several recent events, he felt that this baron was different from the previous lords.

The previous lord went to see the Lord of the Holy Light within a year here, but he added more money several times during this year, and replaced it with the jewelry he decorated the walls of the castle.

The previous lord stayed here for a few years and recruited thousands of people many times as corvée, just to build that castle. Before him, there was no castle in Karnaland.

That period of time was also the hardest time for the people of Kana.

I thought it was the same for this one, but who knew that although he also recruited people to work, he not only manages the food, but also rewards him for doing a good job, which is many times better than those vampires who have to bring their own food!
At this time, the general public went to bed very early, because there was a lack of entertainment and lighting, so making little people became a tacit activity at night.

There is only one younger brother and an old mother in Ke Lin's family. His father didn't know which lord lost his life in the early years, leaving only his mother to raise him and his infant brother.

Life at home has always been difficult. Usually, Ke Lin would go to work for the rich family or pick some common medicinal materials, but after winter, these two roads were cut off, and the lord did not allow people to go out of the city.

In desperation, he volunteered to join the militia, because the family lost one person to eat, and his mother could support his younger brother by doing some manual work.

It's just that Ke Lin was surprised that oil lamps were lit for the first time in the family today. You must know that the few lamp oils are rare and valuable items in the family.

Normally, they should have fallen asleep at this time.

Opening the wooden door that creaked in the cold wind, one could see at a glance that he was doing manual work under the dim oil lamp, his slightly old cheeks were full of fatigue, and there were some silver threads between his temples.

He suddenly felt sour on the tip of his nose, and blamed himself for being so useless.

The old woman who was concentrating on embroidering something raised her head suspiciously, not knowing who would come at this time, she saw Colin with red eyes at a glance.

A look of joy appeared on her face, and she quickly stood up and said, "You... why are you back?"

Colin immediately turned around and closed the door, and put on a smiling face the moment he turned around, he said, "Mother, why haven't you rested so late, where's Wolin?"
