Medieval White Elf Story
Chapter 43 Stubbornness and Stupidity
The reasons are very good, the arguments are very solid, and the pursuit is very noble. No matter from any angle, this is a speech full of passion and idealism, which fully expresses a young man in the Middle Ages who pursued the noble spirit and the example of a warrior. The determination and courage to learn from the role models in your mind.
Even Flynn himself felt moved by his statement. If he told the story to the Crown Prince of Erfurt, I am afraid that he would be established as a model of loyalty and patriotism, and he might even receive a grand award from the royal family.
But Old Tibbs was not an aristocratic woman who had not seen the world. Such passionate speeches did not move him at all. Instead, they made him more doubtful about Flynn's motivation for seeking war.
Piety, fanaticism, ideals, honor, these words are all nonsense to an old fox like Old Tibbs and will not have any effect at all. Flynn certainly knows this very well.
But he continued to sell his disguised reasons to Old Tibes because he couldn't confess the actual situation. If Old Tibes knew that he decided to join the army to benefit his father, it is hard to say whether Old Tibes would He also came up with other tricks to deal with the Bain family, such as bringing the Bain family's army under his command to go on an expedition together on the pretext of helping the father and son reunite, and then sending it to the battlefield as cannon fodder to consume the Bain family's strength.
The relationship between father and son is a double-edged sword. At least the old Tibbs cannot use it against the Bain family, so the relationship must be cleared.
Flynn could only try his best to disguise himself as a kid who was brainwashed by the warrior tradition and aristocratic spirit to trick the old Tibbs into letting him go. This was a great test of his acting skills.
When Old Tibbs continued to reject his request, Flynn went to the church in the city without hesitation and sent someone to invite the respected elders in the principality.
Before the confused Elder Farnes could figure out what Duke Zeon's new adopted son was planning to do with him, Flynn publicly announced that he was about to bring his followers to join King Qin's team heading north, hoping that Farnes The elders blessed their team.
Elder Farnes, who continued to be confused, did not refuse, not because he was moved by Flynn's courage, but because the weapons placed around his neck by his followers made him realize that this little guy didn't seem to be joking with him.
A wise man is one who knows the current affairs, and Elder Farnes is certainly a wise man of this era.
The blessing ceremony was immediately held in the small square in front of the church. Under the watchful eyes of the enthusiastic citizens who came to watch after hearing the news, Flynn took the lead and accepted the sprinkling of cold water from Elder Farnes with pine branches dipped in cold water. As a result, the citizens made an oath that they would follow Duke Zeon to reinforce the royal family, and learn how to kill enemies and perform meritorious service on the battlefield to serve the king with all their might.
When the gloomy Duke of Zeon came over after hearing the news and sent guards to disperse the onlookers, he realized that this little guy had put himself in a difficult position.
If he continues to refuse Flynn to join the army, he will be questioned for killing the enthusiasm of the nobles to join the army, or for not being optimistic about the prospects of the war, or for confirming his speculation that he wants to put the heir of the Bain family under house arrest. For the people who were talking about switching camps, it undoubtedly added new topics for after-dinner conversation, putting him in a very disadvantageous position.
Old Tibbs, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, called Flynn in front of him, raised his eyelids and asked coldly: "Why do you do this?"
This was going to be a showdown. Flynn knew that Old Tibbs was very angry, but he could only continue to stick to his character, pretending to be sincere and said: "I hope to follow you and learn to become a true noble and warrior, so I am willing to do it." Anything to change your mind about me.”
"Aren't you afraid of death at your age?"
"For the king and honor, death is not terrible. What is terrible is being misunderstood as cowardice."
"You are questioning and defying my decision."
"I do not doubt that the Duke was at fault for his love and care for me, but I do not think that age should be a reason for absenting myself from the honor."
Old Tibbs wanted to hang Flynn up and give him a beating with a whip. This little guy seemed to have no idea what social beatings were, and the more upright and virtuous he looked, the more angry he felt.
"Don't forget your identity." Old Tibbs sneered: "I am your adoptive father. I have the power to decide what you should do and should not be questioned in any way."
Flynn pointed to the crowd of onlookers still surrounding him and said: "I respect your judgment, but I don't think your behavior can allow me to withstand everyone's doubts and questions, so I have to choose to do this, even if it is Against your good intentions.”
Although he didn't look at Old Tibbs' expression, Flynn could imagine that Old Tibbs must have looked at him as a fool or an idiot. An eight-year-old child insisted on following him to the battlefield, wasn't it? If there is something wrong with your brain, what else can you do?
Perhaps Old Tibbs would be angry that he had forced him into danger, but as long as he did not doubt his true motives, he would not be in real danger.
The news that Cheap Daddy is also going on an expedition was based on his inference based on the royal envoy recruiting Old Tibes. Even if the Principality of Zeon currently has spies at Bain Castle, the royal envoy has not arrived at Bain's house yet. Unable to report accurate information.By the time his father received the news and gathered his troops to prepare for the expedition, the dust had already settled on his side. Even if Old Tibbs received the news, he might not be able to connect the two things together, thinking that he had the ability to predict the unknown. .
Persistence in performing this play is a key step to success, so you must not retreat.
Flynn waited anxiously for Old Tibbs' final decision.
After a silence that seemed to last half a century, I finally heard what Old Tibbs said: "I always thought you were a smart boy, but now I think you are stupid. Since you insist on going on adventures with me, I can't either." I'm trying to stop you, I hope you can know what reality is when you actually get to the battlefield."
Flynn quickly bowed to Old Tibbs to express his gratitude.
"I have been mentally prepared. Lord Duke, please don't mind because of my impulsiveness and recklessness. You will always be my adoptive father and teacher, and you will also guide me in pursuing the path of honor."
The words full of humility were only met with a disdainful snort from Old Tibbs. After he left with the cheers of his followers, Flynn raised his head and stood up straight, feeling a pain on his back. Coolness.
It has finally become a certainty that he will go out with the army, but I don't know what the cheap daddy would think if he knew that he was going to meet him on the battlefield.
Even Flynn himself felt moved by his statement. If he told the story to the Crown Prince of Erfurt, I am afraid that he would be established as a model of loyalty and patriotism, and he might even receive a grand award from the royal family.
