The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

Chapter 5, The Man Named the Lion

() The sun on the banks of the Usko River has gradually slanted westward, and time has passed quickly. Most of the barrels of sweet and sour ale have disappeared, and Old Loren's voice has begun to be a little unsteady.But Hyde still listened carefully, in his amnesiac mind, he needed to know something too much.Today, he feels like a newborn baby with high intelligence. He really doesn't know anything. How can he do this?What is more surprising is that my new memory is very good. I can basically remember everything that old Loren said immediately. This finally made Hyde feel a little bit relieved, and the distress of "amnesia" was gone. So heavy.

According to the old Loren, Hyde was born 18 years ago and was the third son of Earl Enrique, the Duke of Middenland.And this Middenland Principality is one of the ten autonomous principalities of the Sigmar Empire with the right to elect the emperor, located in the northwest of the entire empire.This is a powerful military country, with the great temple of Ulik the White Wolf and the great group of warriors who believe in this ancient god --- Holy White Wolf Knights, and another powerful knights who believe in Holy Sigma, the founder of the empire Regiment - Cheetah Knights.As for other cavalry, infantry, and warriors, there are tens of thousands of them.And the commander-in-chief of this powerful army is naturally the Earl Elector himself---Hyde's father Enrique. The Grand Marshal of the Empire, who later retired due to physical discomfort, returned to live in the city of Middenheim, the capital of his magnificent principality.Hyde, who is now an adult, participated in the expedition of the Imperial Expeditionary Force under the order of the Earl.

Hyde's mother came from the human kingdom in the south of the empire --- Tyrell. Tyrell is a loose alliance, located on the winding peninsula in the south of the mainland, thousands of leagues away from the Duchy of Middenland. The principality, the city-state, and the autonomous republic are formed. Hyde's mother, Princess Anna, is the daughter of one of the principalities in Tyril---the prince of Tubaro. It is said that she has a little elven blood. The reason why the Prince of Luo Gongguo has a princess who was born as a high-level elf shadow hunter.She married the Earl of the Elector 30 years ago, and died of illness 16 years ago, and Loren was one of the guards who escorted the princess to the north to marry, but she was still a young swordsman at the time. He was awarded the title of knight.When her name was mentioned, old Loren's eyes turned red.

Such a good family background is indeed worthy of Hyde's pride. For this reason, Hyde and old Loren drank many glasses of ale, dedicated to the great Valkyrie Mirmidia, to the great Duchy of Middenland, and to the goodness. Princess Anna!But the problem is that when talking about the specifics of his own growth, old Loren would take the topic aside and talk about how many city-states, temples, ancient marble ruins, and some great ancient battles there are in Tyrell. Beat the dark elves and Skaven, or talk about the great emperors of Middenland, the great exploits of the White Wolf Knights 300 or 500 years ago, and so on.This makes Hyde a little weird.What happened to me before?Can't you mention it?

"Uncle Loren, you can let go of the ancient epics first. I want to know how I fell into a coma. By the way, there are also things about me before. Can you tell me?" After drinking a glass of ale, Hyde couldn't help asking.

"Ah? Well...Young Master, it's like this. On the way of marching, your horse was frightened. You accidentally fell off, hit your head, and fell into a coma for about a week, so we had to go to the rear first. It happened that my granddaughter Lala, as a medical apprentice of the Temple of Sarya, the goddess of medicine and mercy, was also at this military station. During this time, we took turns to take care of you. Goddess bless, you are not only fine, I have also received the incomparable favor bestowed upon you by the Valkyrie, allowing wisdom to return to your noble blood, this is really a joy!"

Old Loren, very drunk, took a swig from his wooden goblet with his brass hand, brushed his gray beard, and answered Hyde's question.

"Uncle Loren, there is one thing I don't understand. Both you and Lala said that I got my sanity back, I got my wisdom back, and I was so excited that I cried. But I feel that I don't seem to have any great wisdom now." , and almost forgot everything, even my own name. I don’t think I look like a wise person now, but why do you get so excited? Could it be that I used to... compare Is there a bad problem? Could it be intelligence... I wasn't a fool before?"

Hyde finally raised his question. Although he may get an unlucky answer, sometimes he has to face it, and there is no way.He is a straightforward person who can't hide his thoughts. He was such a person in his previous life. Although his memory has disappeared now, his subconscious personality is still the same, straightforward.

With a dull sound, the wooden wine glass fell on the grass. Old Loren was stunned. After a long time, he sighed, looked into Hyde's eyes and said:

"Young master, you are indeed the one chosen by the Valkyrie Mirmidia! I thought, let the past pass, and now you are a person who has received the favor of the Valkyrie. That long deep dream, If thinking about it is full of pain, then what's the point of thinking about it? But, this is also my mistake, what can I hide from people who have received divine grace?"

Following this long sigh, Old Loren took out a tightly packed small bag and slowly opened it. His old voice was as slow as this one, echoing in Hyde's ear...

"Young master, the deep love of your great mother is something you can never forget! Back then, she delivered this to me and told me to give this to you when wisdom returns to your body. Here is her There is great love for you, and she has deep affection for you! Seeing this, you will be able to recall your past, recall your mother's true love and deep affection! Pick it up, my kind young master!"

<The patterns of vines, swords and roaring lions are divided into upper and lower halves, which should be openable.The necklace is very small, but the mighty old knight with white hair and red armor holds this small necklace as if holding a heavy object, so solemn and careful, as if it is not a necklace, but a The mountains are average.He solemnly put the necklace in Hyde's hands, and squeezed Hyde's hand tightly.

"Hang it up, my kind young master, there are precious relics of your mother in this pendant, and her noble spirit in heaven will surely feel the glorious moment when you are blessed by God, and see the scene of the sleeping lion waking up! You will definitely I will understand your past, your mother's heart..." The burly old knight choked up, his hands trembling violently.

Hyde carefully held the necklace and prepared to hang it around his neck. Although his memory is still unclear, he clearly felt that from the moment he first touched him, there was an unparalleled sense of intimacy and warmth. fluttering on his necklace.When old Loren mentioned "Princess Anna", the beautiful and warm female face in his mind reappeared in Hyde's mind, becoming more and more clear, but it also made his hands become Clumsy, always unable to tie the necklace at the back of the neck, which made Hyde a little impatient.

"Your Excellency Hyde, let me help you." Following the gentle voice, a pair of warm little hands stroked Hyde's long disheveled hair, and carefully connected the necklace.This is Lala, she has just rushed back after finishing other things, her warm hands carry the smell of soap and the unique fragrance of a girl.

"Thank you, Lala, I'm so stupid." Hyde was a little embarrassed, he straightened his collar, and thanked the freckled up-nosed girl.

"Ah, Your Excellency Hyde is really too polite! This is what I should do. Before you recovered, you couldn't get anything. I made it for you every day... Oh." You may feel your slip of the tongue , Lala covered her mouth and lowered her head.

"Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Old Loren said to Lala in a reproachful tone, so Lala lowered her head and blushed.

"Uncle Loren, this is my fault. I may have caused you a lot of trouble before, but it will be different now. Since I have such great parents, and now I have received the gift of the Valkyrie, I will never do this again. There won't be any trouble, don't worry." Hyde hurriedly smoothed things over, but the wording seemed a bit inappropriate. To be honest, even in his last life, he was only a young man in his 20s with a low degree of education. A man of words.Now that all the memory has disappeared, it is even more difficult to express it satisfactorily.

"Young master, what are you talking about! Old Loren, I have been loyal to your mother and you for decades. This is what our grandchildren should do. How could it be considered troublesome!" Old Loren stood up suddenly, Because of drinking too much, the body is shaky.

"Grandpa, you misunderstood the meaning of Your Excellency Hyde. Your Excellency Hyde has always been a humble and kind person, and now he has just recovered his wisdom from the grace of the Valkyrie. That is His Excellency Hyde's sincere thanks to you! Grandpa, you Why are you so drunk!" Lala hugged her tall grandpa and hurried to restore the somewhat stiff atmosphere.

"Well, thank you so much, Lala." Hyde was also a little drunk, his mind was in a mess now, and he didn't know what to say.What old Loren just gave me so affectionately is a precious relic of my mother, and I can feel the full of true feelings.But why is the mother in my memory so vague?I already know it, why can't I remember everything from the first 18 years so vaguely?Why, I still vaguely remember that I seem to be called "Peng Hua" in the dream?What the hell is going on here?

All kinds of complicated thoughts and drunkenness made Hyde feel dizzy, unable to stand up, shook a few times, and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, old Loren had already sobered up after being told by his granddaughter just now. Seeing Hyde's appearance, he and his granddaughter hurriedly supported Hyde, helped him into the small tent, and rested for a while.

"Young master, grandpa is too excited. I drank too much with you and became drunk. I am ashamed. Please don't worry about it." Lala lowered her body and looked at the drowsy Hyde who was already leaning on the bed. Apologize.

"Lala! You're too polite! I have nothing to worry about! I'm telling the truth! I may have been confused before! But now——I will never go on like this again!"

Hyde slammed his fist on the bed and yelled loudly.He was very drunk, which is normal, after all, this is the first time he has been drunk in this life, but what he said really came from his own heart, he woke up inexplicably, forgot everything inexplicably, he had an impression of everything but he couldn't remember it. I can't remember clearly, and now the two most familiar and close people around me seem to want to hide something from him... This really made him feel confused, puzzled, and lost.Maybe I used to be really stupid, really not decent!He is determined to change all this. Now that he is awake, he will let others see a new self.But, first, something to know about the past...
