Chapter 240 Dreaming of becoming a Knight’s ordinary person (please subscribe ~ ask for a monthly ticket~)

Hodis with gray temples and an old face Wearing a brown burlap robe, sitting in the corner eating dinner.

Large chunks of potatoes and a few beef cubes are the main course.

A glass of water and two slices of bread is all that’s left.

Out of place!

Regardless of clothing.

It’s still the food you eat.

Hodice is incompatible with the well-dressed Faber nobles in the restaurant, who enjoy exquisite and luxurious food, as if a commoner suddenly broke into the palace.

Even the Faber nobles, who already knew Hoddes’ style, at this time still couldn’t help looking towards the head of the ‘Rose Knight Regiment’.

Curiosity, surprise, and deep pity.

If it wasn’t for Dirkmore, surely Hoddys would be different?

Everyone thought so.

Can’t help but look towards Hodis’ more eyes.

Under the gaze of many eyes, Hoddys did not change anything. He used a spoon to grind the boiled potatoes into a puree, and then mixed the beef grains into it. After stirring the spoon quickly, , mashed potatoes and beef grains form a potato and beef ball.

Hoddy spooned one of them into his mouth.

There was a slight smile on the face that should not be old.

It is the satisfaction of the stomach.

After so many years, only in this brief moment can he feel a trace of satisfaction.

Even the simplest food gave him enough comfort.

“Hodice!”

While shouting softly, Dotnir Mag suddenly appeared.

Looking at the eldest son of the tulip family, Hoddys startled.

“Good evening, Your Excellency Margo.”

Hoddis greets respectfully.

“Don’t be so polite, Hoddys, have you forgotten when you first called me ‘Dot’?”

The patriarch of the Tulip family, trying to use memories Close the distance between the two sides.

However, basically useless.

Hoddis remained respectful.

“It’s not the same, Your Majesty Margo.”

The tulip patriarch stared at Hoddy in front of him. It was difficult for him to respect this… No, not only Respectfully, he is already a somewhat terrified and over-cautious man, linked to the shocking and stunning man at the time.

It’s not just an old face.

My heart is also getting old.

A teenager who used to be extraordinary natural talent, at this time, has completely become a middle age person who is overwhelmed by the burden of life.

“Did those setbacks really have such a big impact on you?”

Tulip’s patriarch asked slightly unwillingly.

“Does it still matter?”

Hoddys smiled.

Full of helplessness.

“I can help you, Dirkmore guy…”

weng!

Just as the tulip patriarch wants to say something At that time, there was a sudden roaring vibration from far to near. Although it was very slight when it reached the ship because of the distance, the patriarch of Tulip House and many people in the restaurant noticed it.

Among the Faber nobles, someone walked out quickly to check the situation.

A moment later, the inquirer returned.

Dilkmore is dead!

After hearing the news, the Faber nobles in the restaurant had mixed expressions.

Most are surprises.

A few are accidents.

Only Hodis, who was sitting there, had a trace of sadness on his face.

The patriarch of Tulip’s family saw such sadness, but at this time, he couldn’t care about Hodis.

He’s here to win Hodis.

Relying on Hodice’s reputation in the ‘Rose Knight Map’, he drew the power of this Knight regiment to the Tulip family, but Dirkmore’s death disrupted his plan.

Not bad.

but good.

Dilkmore die well!

Although it will cost you some, it will be worth it!

He can attack the accompanying ‘Rose Knight Picture’ members more directly!

And Hoddys?

Not important anymore.

“Hoddys, I’m sorry, I have to leave.”

“Dirkemore assassinated Goethe, which would arouse the wrath of the Archduke of the North, and I must appease him The anger of the archduke – otherwise, we may not be able to leave the north.”

The patriarch of the Tulip family stood up and apologized.

Hoddy shook the head and made a gesture of please to the tulip patriarch son.

Watching the back of the tulip patriarch leave, the sadness on Hoddy’s face grew even stronger.

Because, he heard people around him discussing Dirkmore.

Not only was it terrible, but it was a bummer.

What everyone is more interested in is that the lady that Goethe is carrying is not Margarita Mag.

Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of the nobles around, Hoddys sighed.

He doesn’t fit here.

Your Majesty is right.

Faber is sick.

A treatment is required.

A thorough treatment.

Just…

Why was he chosen as a healer?

Thinking of this, Hodis stood up, and he walked to his cabin – as one of the sub-commanders of the ‘Rose Knight Regiment’, Hodis had a separate cabin.

However, it is the smallest of all individual classes.

is not targeted.

It was Hoddy’s own request.

A living room that is too large will make him feel more and more uneasy.

Hoddis took off his burlap robe.

He donned his Knight armor.

He slung the saber around his waist.

He raised his hand to pick up a Knight gun.

A small nameplate was hung on his chest by him.

It says: Hoddys.

Hoddis raised his hand to stroke the clear name.

“Everything will end, right?”

“Everything will end!”

“Everything will be alright, right?”

“Everything will get better!”

During the self-questioning and self-answering, the pain that Hoddes had been suppressing made his voice tremble, even if he wanted to make himself a better person by asking and answering himself Be firm.

But not.

He couldn’t look directly into his own heart.

Betrayer.

This is the position he has given himself.

He betrayed too many people.

Because…

He was loyal to Faber VII.

There is nothing wrong with being loyal to your own king as a Knight, but as a Knight, because of your loyalty to your own king, he framed his students and friends, and pushed him step by step into the abyss… …

Is it the right thing to do?

Hoddys doesn’t know.

He asks himself every night.

But from start to finish, no answer.

Now?

The same is true.

Hordis stood in front of the mirror, looking at the more and more unfamiliar himself in the mirror. After an ugly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he put on his helmet, turned and walked out of the cabin.

…

Dotnier Marg sat in the parlour, the anger on his face dissipated as Semler Gram and Emil Gram left.

Negotiate.

Even if you agree in the bottom of your heart, you have to pretend.

‘Secret Technique of ‘flaming sword qi tornado’?

He doesn’t feel bad about the Rose family.

500wgolden gram?

The tulip family wants to pay, which makes Dotnier Mag a little embarrassed.

For this layout, the Tulip family spent a lot of money.

Another 500wgolden gram?

That’s really going to be a stretch.

But it’s worth it!

At least, the patriarch son of the tulip family can be sure that he will get more people’s favor, including the members of the ‘Rose Knight Group’, by paying 500wgolden gram in exchange for the safety of the entire group.

Even if it’s not at the head level.

But as long as it’s a member of the ‘Rose Knights’, it’s worth pulling over.

After all, these ordinary members are not alone.

Also has parents and close relatives.

These people are the cornerstones of Faber’s middle and lower layers.

Also what the tulip family needs.

Just as Dotnell Marg was thinking about the specific operation-

Tap tap!

Undisguised footsteps appeared in the corridor outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

dong dong dong!

“Come in.”

Dotnier Marg sat up straight.

When Hoddys in armor walked in, the patriarch of the tulip family was stunned.

He glanced at the nameplate hanging on the armor, sensed the breath again, and confirmed that the person inside the armor was Hoddys.

But because it was Hoddys, the tulip patriarch became more and more puzzled.

“Hoddys, are you here?”

He spoke tentatively.

“Loyalty!”

Hodis took a deep breath, replied.

Suddenly, Dotnell Mag came back to his senses.

“It was Amos who chose your allegiance?”

“It was Amos who let you stay with Dirkmore?”

“ Your failure in the second awakening was also a disguise?”

The patriarch of the Tulip family inquired for more information.

“My allegiance is Your Majesty.”

Hoddys thus replied.

Simple, but enough to make Dotnir Mag understand most things.

Although there are still some questions, but it is not important.

Tulip’s patriarch looked at Hodis, who was boiling with fighting intent, and stood up.

“Here?”

“Here!”

“Knight’s Duel?”

“Knight’s Duel!”

After a question and answer, the patriarch of the Tulip family walked aside and picked up a Knight gun – the ‘Tulip Knight Group’ was disbanded when the Rose Family took power, but this did not mean that the Tulip Family The heirs, will be unfamiliar with Knight duels.

The two stand face to face, holding their Knight guns straight.

“My armor…”

“I don’t need armor.”

Hoddis’ words were only spoken by Dotnir. Margo interrupted.

Although Dotnir Mag said this, Hodis still took off his helmet and armor for the sake of fairness.

He chose fairness.

But just as Hoddys took off his armor, Dotnir Mag teleported behind Hoddys, and the Knight gun in his hand was rounded towards Hoddy. Smashed his neck.

At the same time, don’t forget to say it in your mouth.

“Your stuff is out of date.”

“Go to hell with your old dogma!”

Hoddys body trembled .

He was involuntarily caught up in the situation he was in when he first met Dotnil Mag—

The boy Dotnier Mag was fighting with his Knight gun high. Immediately charged face to face with Hodis, the two passed by, fell off the horse at the same time, the patriarch of the Tulip family lying on the ground, pouted and said insincerely.

‘Knight? ‘

‘Old stuff. ‘

‘But…’

‘He’s quite handsome. ‘

‘Knight is not handsome, but loyalty and honor! ‘

Hodis, who is also a teenager, emphasized.

‘Mmmmm, loyalty and honor. ‘

‘As the father said, the loyalty and honor of a tin can is the romance and… waste of a man’s death. ‘

The words of the tulip’s patriarch angered Hodis.

He rolled over and scuffled with each other.

More than once.

But ten times.

It’s all a draw.

But every time, the patriarch of the Tulip family will choose Knight’s duel to fight him.

He thought it was the same this time.

But…

Everything is different.

Bang!

Different from the wooden gun during practice, the metal long spear made of metal slammed heavily on Hoddy’s neck, but Dotnell Marg’s complexity greatly changed.

It doesn’t feel right!

The gun didn’t hit the physical body and mortal flesh at all.

It’s more like hitting metal.

And when the tulip patriarch saw the dragon scales emerging from Hoddys’ neck, his face changed again.

“Dragon Blood Fighter?”

“Have you taken dragon blood medicine?”

“You took the ‘dragon blood Knight regiment’ first and third The person who refined the dragon blood potion was not Dirkmore?”

“It’s you?!”

Dotnell Margo exclaimed .

And the answer that Hoddys gave was a dragon roar——

roar!

The loud dragon roar shook the whole ship.

Dragon’s Might, like the Heavenly Might, instantly enveloped Dotnir Mag.

The sudden trembling in the bottom of my heart made the teleportation of the patriarch of the tulip family instantly invalid.

Just for a moment.

But for Hoddys, it was enough.

clang!

The long sword around his waist is unsheathed.

The silhouette flashed and stood behind Dotnir Mag.

Dotnier Marg took two steps forward.

“Quick Sword?”

“You didn’t give up Quick Sword at all.”

“You also hid dragon blood,”

“You…”

The tulip patriarch murmured in a low voice, subconsciously raising his hand to wipe his neck.

pu!

Blood energy surged, and a blood arrow spurted out.

The tulip family patriarch fell to the ground, and the vitality was passing quickly.

Hordis, who was holding the long sword, turned around, the annoyance in his eyes became more and more intense, it was not only regret, but also mixed with a kind of confusion – confusion about self-belief.

He lowered his head, looked at Dortnil Mag, who fell to the ground, and said softly.

“Sorry.”

“Huh?”

“Winners shouldn’t be so hypocritical.”

Dotnier. Margo covered his neck and sneered.

He knew he was going to die.

But he had to die later.

He still has work to do.

Next moment, a tall silhouette appeared in the field.

Looking at the silhouette that looked like a Little Giant, Dotnir Mag wanted to say hello gracefully, but couldn’t, his eyes were starting to blur.

But my younger sister can still see clearly.

“Brother?”

Margarita Mag looked at her brother who was lying in a pool of blood, and immediately appeared beside Dotnir Mag in a teleport. , wants to apply medicine to his brother.

“It’s useless.”

“I’m helpless.”

“The tulip family is over too – remember, must marry Goethe, He is the only way out for you now, and the last chance for the Tulip family!”

The patriarch of the Tulip family grabbed the palm of his younger sister and said very fast.

“I…”

“Promise me.”

The patriarch’s palm tightened.

“I promise you.”

Margarita Marg nodded.

<>Seeing that younger sisterp had nod, the patriarch of the Tulip family was relaxed, his pupils began to dilate, but he still tried his best to shout: “My murderer is Hoddy, I am the patriarch of the Tulip family. Son and heir status allows, my younger sister Margarita Mag is married to Goethe Wayne!”

The shout was high at first.

Then went low.

There was silence when Goethe’s name was finally uttered.

The patriarch son of the Tulip family, passed away.

“Brother!”

Margarita Margo cried out.

The Faber nobles who were present were indifferent.

And Hodis, who confronted Semler Gram, suddenly complexion changed – the contract in his heart, received the order of Faber VII.

It’s simple: kill the Tulip family!

Hodis looked at the crying Margarita Mag, and the hand holding the sword trembled.

His Knight creed makes it impossible for him to shoot people with their backs to him.

Not to mention, a lady.

But the master’s orders, he must obey.

Also because of the Knight Creed.

What should I do?

Hoddy asked himself.

Hoddys was confused, but others weren’t–a few silhouettes hidden in the crowd headed straight for Margarita Mag.

And the second daughter of the Tulip family, who was crying, didn’t notice it at all.

clang!

Hoddys long sword unsheathed.

As fast as ever.

No!

Faster than ever!

His long sword shone like electricity, and the sword qi he carried was like a gale, forcing those silhouettes back!

“Hodice!”

Those silhouettes roared in surprise and angry.

The fist that Semler Gram had already punched stopped forcibly in front of Hoddy’s back, but the Power of Qi and Blood contained in it still made Hoddy’s footsteps move forward. Fell to the ground in no time.

“You?”

Semler Gram looked at Hoddys in confusion.

“I don’t know why I did it.”

The confusion in Hoddy’s eyes did not subside, even though he vomited blood, he still carried a kind of not knowing what to do .

Moreover, compared to before, Hoddys was even more wrong at this time.

He didn’t just violate Knight’s creed.

Even the Knight’s creed that he held to the last was lost.

He, is he still a Knight?

“Hodis, you traitor!”

At this time, the attackers who had been captured by other Faber nobles yelled at Hodis.

“Traitor?”

“Yes, I’m a traitor.”

“Betraying my friends, students, teachers, even…”

“Myself!”

Hordis trembled. He turned around and looked at Margarita Mag, who was still crying in a low voice, and wanted to When he was saying something, Goethe had already appeared in front of him, blocking his sight towards Margarita Mag.

Hoddis gave Goethe an apologetic smile.

“Sorry, Goethe, I didn’t do my best in the previous battle. I insulted the honor of the battle.” companion.

In the end, he chose to activate the power of the contract.

“Your Majesty, sorry.”

He delivered the message.

“Sorry, Dotnier.”

“Sorry, Durkmore.”

“And, Ms. Marg, sorry After he finished speaking solemnly, he clenched the hilt of the sword, and under Goethe’s vigilant gaze, Hoddy turned the hilt upside down, pierced his abdomen, and cut across with force, Cut off most of his body.

He betrayed everything.

He’s no longer a Knight.

He has no face.

He chose to die.

Goethe frowned, after confirming the other party’s intention, he asked.

“Do you need me to help you?”

Hoddy’s face was shaking from the pain, but Hoddys shook the head.

He is making atonement with this.

He doesn’t deserve anyone’s help.

But he still had a little hope.

“It’s for you.”

“It deserves a better owner.”

Hoddy handed over his saber To Goethe, Goethe took the long sword after a little hesitation.

Hodice smiled after Goethe took the long sword.

This time is no longer helpless.

Instead, it was a relief.

And…

A little bit of envy.

“Your attitude in the ring…I’m so envious.”

At the last moment of his life, Hoddystein honestly expressed his truest thoughts in his heart.

He also wants to be like Goethe, standing in the ring just and honorable to meet all kinds of opponents, instead of hiding in the dark, doing one after another shameful thing.

Can I choose in my next life?

If he could, he also wanted to be a Knight.

The just and honorable Knight.

“Humility, honesty, mercy, justice, heroism, glory…sacrifice, sacrifice.”

Whispering softly, Hoddes closed his eyes.

Life then drifted away.

But,

Blood does not.

The blood infused with the ‘dragon blood potion’, under the power of the contract, began to reshape and condense into a human shape.

“Your Majesty?!”

Someone among the Faber nobles exclaimed.

But the bloody silhouette ignored the man’s exclamation at all.

Just looking at Semler Gram and Goethe with those scarlet eyes.

“Son of the Archduke of the North?”

“Really a majestic body.”

“Amazing.”

“You are Goethe.Wayne, the nephew of the Archduke of the North, who has completed an astonishing 70-game winning streak?”

“Equally good.”

“The presence of the two of you, for the As far as the North is concerned, it is really good news, and it is really enviable – I hope to form a brother alliance with the North.”

“We will open a route to communicate with each other.”

Faber VII said very politely.

Or more precisely, friendly.

Semler Gram and Goethe frowned at the same time.

The two are not children.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Faber and the North are feuding. As the king of Faber, how could Faber VII be so friendly?

“Conditions?”

Semler Gram solemnly asked .

“Give me Margarita Margo,” said Faber VII.

Faber VII.

“Impossible!”

Semler Gram hits the ground running.

“If you refuse, Faber will go to war with the North – are you willing to risk everyone’s life in the North for a woman?”

“This Is it worth it?”

Faber VII raised his voice.

Semler Gram sneered.

“Goethe is from the Gram Family.”

The Archduke eldest son said.

“So, you’re willing to risk it for the possibility of marrying Goethe’s Margarita?”

“Northland Gram Family?”

” It’s more reckless than rumored.”

Faber VII laughed.

And at this time, Goethe, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

“Your Majesty, you just said you want to form a brother alliance with the North?”

“Yes.”

Faber VII nodded , at the same time, think that things have turned around.

A man would give up peace for a woman? Give up more benefits?

How is that possible?

Therefore, Faber VII smiled and listened to Goethe saying-

“My uncle has been in bad health recently, and is going to pass the position of Grand Duke to my brother, In other words, my brother should become the new Grand Duke of the North. Since we have to form an alliance of brothers, my brother’s father should also be your father. If you have time, you can come to the north. How about meeting your father?”

Immediately, Faber VII’s smile froze on his face.

Goethe’s words continued.

“If you think your father can’t talk, after all, you have had a father too!”

“So, why don’t you call my uncle…”

“father?”
