Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 88 Gawain's Story

Chris stood outside the garden in front of Gawain's house and looked towards the door.

Gawain opened the door, crossed the neatly manicured lawn with his pocket watch in his hand, and said to him expressionlessly: "You came 15 minutes early. This is the first time you have arrived early."

"Yes, Mr. Gawain," Chris took off his hat, "came here a little early today."

Gawain turned and walked toward the house, Chris following closely behind him.

Gawain poured a cup of bitter tea for Chris, watched him drink it, and then said slowly: "Your fighting skills have been practiced very well, but your physical training is still a little bit behind. I am a little curious about your fighting skills. Where did you learn it all?”

Gawain was referring to Chris's martial arts skills, which he had forgotten to put down his teacup when he first showed them to him.

Chris lied: "...I learned it from an ancient book, but unfortunately, the book was lost."

"Well," Gawain nodded and took a sip of bitter tea, "That is indeed a pity. I have never seen such fighting skills before."

Chris thought: "Mr. Gawain, if you want to learn, I can also teach you."

"Haha," Gawain leaned back on the sofa, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Are you the teacher or am I the teacher? You actually want to teach me fighting and train me for ten more groups, starting now!"

Chris said to himself: If I had known Mr. Gao Wen that you were in a bad mood, I wouldn't have come. Anyway, I just won a boxing match at the bar, which can be regarded as a practical experience. I can do physical exercises and other things on the third floor of the logistics department. Can practice...

"Okay, Mr. Gawain."

Chris stood on the blanket, lay down and started doing push-ups.Of course he didn't know what Gawain was thinking. He felt that he couldn't understand this weird old man. Sometimes he would let him practice more while the two of them were chatting.

Chris forgot that Gawain has been living in the past - what's the use of learning this, he is no longer a knight.

Gawain took a mouthful of bitter tea and did not swallow it for a long time.Whenever he thought of the glorious years as a knight, he would always take a sip of bitter tea, letting the bitterness roll over on his tongue, seep into his taste buds, and penetrate into his heart, reminding him that it was a period that he could not forget. years.

After finishing the first part of the extra training, Chris got up from the ground with a red face, took the bitter tea handed over by Gawain, and drank it all in one breath.

He also vented his bad mood. After returning from Rosen, his mood improved a lot. He felt that there was hope for Fred to wake up. However, after having a fight with Dan in the bar and listening to his story, His heart became heavy again, even though that person's fate had nothing to do with him.

Gawain smiled at him: "Chris, do you feel better after practicing ten more sets of push-ups?"

How did you tell that I was in a bad mood...

Gao Wen continued: "Yesterday was the first time we met. You came to training with a smile, even during training. But today you arrived 15 minutes earlier than our agreed time, but you didn't smile at all. What happened? I I heard there was a murder in the dock area last night."

Mr. Gao Wen, you are quite well-informed in the North District, but could you please stop messing with my mentality like this...

Chris put the tea cup on the coffee table: "Yes, one of my colleagues was seriously injured and is still in a coma."

He did not say the words "I may never wake up". He believed in the ability of the "medicine". He also used the pendulum method to divine the efficacy of herbs, and there was no problem. "Ah, so that's it..." Gawain's tone was still as calm as before.

"But, Mr. Gawain," Chris sighed, "I think this is my responsibility. If I had handled it better at the time, he might not have been seriously injured."

Gawain looked into his eyes and said after a long time: "Do other people think so too?"

"No, they don't think so. Mr. Gawain, how can I forgive myself?"

Chris is still very remorseful, and he would rather go to the confessional in the Church of the Holy Numbers to confess.

"No need to forgive. This is all an arrangement of fate. God has already decided everything." An imperceptible sadness flashed across Gawain's eyes. "Chris, can I tell you a story?"

You want to tell me a story again?
Chris felt that he had become someone else's confidant, and both Dan and Gawain seemed to want to dig out the dusty memories in their hearts and show him.

Do I look so harmless that people of my age like me?

While Chris was thinking about this, Gawain had already begun to tell about his past.

In the flat narrative, Chris seems to have returned to the era of blood and fire. The "Dark Age", "The Cataclysmic Era" and the subsequent "Era of the Gods" have been buried in the long river of history. , those are pure history, and my own life has nothing to do with them.

Many knights lived their lives in obscurity. Only their comrades who fought side by side knew about their achievements. Their blood-stained armors and cracked swords were buried with their memories. Most of their actions will not be recorded in history books, especially those who were defeated in battle. of.

For Gawain, he spent the first half of his life serving in the Knights of Ahowa, fighting against the Intis, Fusac colonists, and Byron natives in the Southern Continent.

Gawain once commanded a cavalry squad called the "Bitter Red Leaves". They were the vanguard of the Knights and were responsible for detecting enemy movements.

In that small-scale war with a certain Knights of Intis to compete for the colony, they served as the vanguard to find out the layout of the enemy's positions, but they were accidentally discovered during the evacuation. After a tragic breakout, they , only two people of the ten-person team survived.

The man retired soon after, and Gawain served in the order for a few more years, witnessing the knight's decline.

They rode their war horses and charged towards the lined-up Intis Fusiliers, destroying positions one after another. However, within half a year, the Intis colonists had installed high-pressure steam rifles and six-barreled machine guns, and the southern continent frequently The conflicts and turbulent situation have made it the first choice area for testing new weapons.

After several disastrous defeats, the Ajova Knights came to an end: disbanded and disbanded.The surviving knights hung their blood-stained armors on the wall, put down their swords, and left silently by boat.

Gawain left the southern continent with the ship, but a part of him remained in the dense forest forever. He didn't understand why his team was discovered. The plan was rigorous and thorough without any flaws.

The only possibility is that one of them betrayed the team, and there was no doubt who the traitor was.Gawain, who had been searching for him since returning to Loen, admitted that he was a traitor.

Gawain wanted to avenge his comrades by killing the traitor who betrayed his teammates for one hundred ferkin.But in the end he spared this homeless traitor who was picking up rubbish in the garbage dump to eat.

"Chris, I can't avenge the lives he took, but even killing him will not help. Living is a punishment for him." Gawain closed his eyes, "Life is a book, only Only the dead will close it. But revenge will not let them reopen it."
