Chapter 287 Windmill Knight

On the second day, Zhou Li entire group went to the Fiefdom of Don Quixote.

Don Quixote’s Fiefdom, called “La Mancha”, is a plain by the river. Her Fiefdom isn’t too big, but the soil is fertile and perfect for farming. Therefore, most of Don Quixote’s Fiefdom is full of continuous arable land and paddy fields, standing on the road and looking at it, the eyes are full of gold.

It is the autumn harvest season and all the rice fields have farmers harvesting rice. When Zhou Li entire group passed by, they would raise their heads to greet Zhou Li entire group with a smile. They can’t see Zhou Li’s identity or the purpose of their entire group, they just express their kindness, that’s all.

“It’s so beautiful.”

Lin Zi, who has almost never left the city, looked at the blue sky and golden rice fields, and involuntarily sighed, “This is Tang elder. Sister’s territory? It’s really beautiful.”

“Only her territory is like this. In other territories, you can only see private soldiers, castles, and foreign serfs.”

Zhou Li observes the ditches on both sides of the road. Since he came to this world, he has rarely had the opportunity to see the “countryside” of this world. Now it seems that there is a different kind of vitality here.

“Although Don Quixote doesn’t understand the world, for these people and territories, Don Quixote is the most perfect lord in their hearts.”

Looking at the thriving scene, Ivey couldn’t help but praised Don Quixote’s behavior in the territory.

“But this will lead to another problem.”

Spirit Sea stepped out of the Void Portal and landed lightly beside Lin Zi. She patted the dust on Lin Zi’s shoulders, and then said with emotion: “Reduce taxes, don’t build castles, and don’t oppress commoners. I have been to many places, but only a few territories can make people like Don Quixote. Happiness.”

“Tax reduction or even no tax collection, these people are living better, but the Jote family has always been poor. Don Quixote met you, so the Jote family survived , then if I hadn’t met Hero, the Hod family would have been banned a few months ago.”

Ain took Kaya’s hand and said calmly: “If the Hod family is banned , waiting for these commoners is only the fate of being oppressed by other nobles. And because the land did not bring enough profit before, they will squeeze them exponentially.”

“So…”

Zhou Li looked at the towns that were getting closer and closer in the distance, and said generously in a righteous tone: “If I were Don Quixote, I would directly store up food and build high walls to restore relations with other nobles on the surface. , buy a material to buy the Imperial court minister. Then make use of the reputation of the Hod family to make friends with professionals from all walks of life, and finally…”

“Why do you see me like this?”

Facing Zhou Li’s violent argument, everyone’s eyes are not as surprised as before. They just stared at Zhou Li indifferently with the eyes of “Ah, you started again”, which made Zhou Li fly into a rage out of humiliation who couldn’t get a response, and was once ready to practice what he said just now. If Elma hadn’t pressed him down, Zhou Li might have rushed into the king’s city and shouted, “The prince and general Xiangning have a seed”.

Of course, he had called it before, and he had called it in the Imperial Palace.

“Don Quixote told me that the custom here is that the funeral should not be sad, nor hinder the work of the people. Only comrades and relatives must attend the funeral, and it should not be too painful, otherwise the dead souls It will last a long time.”

At this time, Ain spoke and reminded everyone: “After we arrive at the funeral site, we don’t have to do anything, just wait for Don Quixote and the others to die. Put the warriors in the cemetery, and finally put the white flowers on the memorial platform in an orderly manner.”

“To be honest, very few people understand them.”

Released Kaya’s hand who wanted to catch the butterfly, Ain looked towards the peasant harvesting in the field, and said complicatedly: “According to common sense, if a Legion wants to strengthen its cohesion, it must have various social activities with enough pomp. , the most important of which is the funeral.”

“Any Legion who loses members of higher rank after a battle, or dies multiple warriors, must have a funeral. So solemn. In this way, other warriors will understand that they will have the same specifications after death, and will be willing to die for this Legion.”

Ain, who has participated in the large and small funerals, will open the Void Transmission Gate to capture Butterfly’s Kaya retrieved it and sighed: “But the funeral of the Guardian’s Shield is much simpler than I thought, but I have seen this Legion warrior fight bravely, which makes me a little unbelievable.”

“This is so incredible.”

Zhou Li laughed, using the power of Chonghuang to pull the butterfly in front of Kaya, “You have also experienced Don Quixote’s personal charm, an ideal If the idealist has the power to realize the ideal, then she is worth following.”

“Is the idealist…”

Lin Ling looked thoughtful and nodded, she had seen Don Quijo Germany, also seen the Guardian Shield. Because of his responsibilities, Lin Ling had had a lot of business dealings with the Templar Knight group, and he knew what position Geralst had in that Legion. Lin Ling was shocked when Don Quixote led the Guardian shield to stand proudly in front of Elma, blocking the attacks of the false Ancient God again and again.

In the guardian shield, there are only two bright-level Knights, and most of the rest are platinum and gold-level Knights, and the head of the group, Don Quixote, has only just broken through the bright. But it is such a Legion that has withstood countless attacks from the Ancient God that surpassed the level bestowed by God. Now that I think about it, this is really an incredible thing.

“Don Quixote’s career is idealistic, which is incomparable to a normal career.”

Zhou Li waved his hand, he saw Lin Ling’s hesitation and doubts, and reminded him aloud Dao: “The strength of her profession is that the stronger her belief, the more she will gain power beyond ordinary. Ancient God killed civilians and destroyed the city-state in front of her. At that time, the power of Don Quixote had been raised to the level of Demi-God. even more how and with the blessing of Legion, she is naturally strong.”

After chatting all the way, everyone also arrived at La Mancha. The town of La Mancha is very different from other Magnum towns. This town has no city wall, no guards, only a few wooden stakes that seem to be sword practice. At the time of the busy farming season, there were not many adults in the city, but there were still many children making trouble in the streets.

La Mancha is an ordinary country town, the houses are built of ordinary stone bricks, but there is no color requirement, so the streets of La Mancha look multi-colored and a little messy, but they look Vibrant. As if it were custom, Zhou Li noticed that the windows of houses on the streets of this town were hung with windmills of different colors, slowly turning with the breeze.

“Is this Miss Tang’s territory?”

Lin Zi, who came here for the first time, felt a different atmosphere. She looked all around curiously and excitedly. , The purple iris-like long hair glowed with a warm luster in the sun.

“La Mancha, which means a place of peace and tranquility.”

A voice came from the side, and everyone looked at them, dressed in silver white Knight armor. Don Quixote stood aside, reserved face a little soft, “Thank you for attending this funeral, and at the same time, welcome to my hometown.”

“It’s a beautiful place. What.”

Elma stepped forward and hugged Don Quixote gently, she pursed her lower lip slightly, and said solemnly to her: “Thank you and the Guardian Shield for what you have done. Everything.”

“You and Mr. Zhou Li have taught me a lot, which is what I should do.”

Likewise, Don Quixote answered Elma’s thanks solemnly. Although it looks like a scene, but for Don Quixote, this sentence is her heartfelt speech.

While following Zhou Li, Don Quixote didn’t have a strong presence, but she did learn a lot from the team. The most typical of them is flexibility.

Note that the whole flexible refers to “Treat a specific group of people with the spirit of Knight in fraternity”, not Zhou Li’s “My bottom line depends on mood”. For example, according to the spirit of the older generation of Knights, Don Quixote should not help the armies of other countries, this is an act without the soul of the Knight. Under the influence of Zhou Li, Don Quixote has abandoned this ancient thought and chose inner justice.

Likewise, she has learned trust from Elma. Trust yourself, but also your peers. In fact, Don Quixote’s aptitude is completely the posture of heaven and man. If she hadn’t been bound by the spirit of the ancient Knight, she might have gone a step further and stepped into a god-given state.

Of course, it’s not too late, not at all. Don Quixote in previous life also realized the mistake of the ancient Knight spirit, but the price was that the Dusk Forest was slaughtered, her faith completely collapsed, and she raised her long sword to point to her most trusted comrade in arms.

“By the way, where’s Zhou Li?”

Elma was stunned suddenly, she realized that there was a hero missing beside her.

“Over there.”

After the guidance of the genius assistant Kaya, everyone’s eyes focused on Zhou Li, who was watching the excavator from the street. With a helpless smile, Ivey hooked the head and stepped forward.

Then squatted with Zhou Li and looked at the excavator.

In the end, Ain grabbed Ivey’s ear and pulled Zhou Li, who was fascinated by excavators, too. Zhou Li, who just got out of his childhood dream, noticed Don Quixote, he looked up and down the valiant and formidable looking girl, and suddenly smiled.

“Promoted?”

Huh?

Others were stunned for a while. Neither the Lin Family sisters nor the Al siblings are professionals, so they don’t feel it. As for Spirit Sea and Kaya, one is taciturn and the other doesn’t understand anything, so everyone doesn’t know that Don Quixote has stepped into the dazzling realm at this time, and has touched the edge of Demi-God at the same time.

“You see it.”

Nodding, Don Quixote didn’t have any pride, and said to Zhou Li like a very ordinary thing: “Go home After that, I was promoted to Bright, and now I have vaguely touched the edge of Demi-God, and it is estimated that I will be able to break through in two years.”

“This is what you deserve.”

Zhou Li is well aware of the persistence and perseverance of this girl. Many times, the reserved Don Quixote will always be the one with the lowest sense of existence. She just followed Zhou Li silently, with her shield, standing behind Zhou Li with her Guardian shield. But it is precisely because of her that Zhou Li often has the confidence to cut off one’s means of retreat.

“The funeral will be held two hours later, this time a total of thirty-six people died, I will bury them at the foot of Mount Kaqiu, which is a sea of white dew and flowers, which is also the shield of our Guardian. Home.”

Don Quixote’s eyes swept across the white flowers that everyone wore, a gloom flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated, “You are still the same as before, there is no need to have too much sadness or sadness. Emotions. Each of our Guardian shields is ready to die, and we don’t want those we protect to be saddened by parting.”

“We understand.”

Zhou Li nodded, and everyone also signaled that they understood the customs of funerals. Under the leadership of Don Quixote, everyone came to the town’s few three-story buildings – the guest house.

“Actually, most of my castle is uninhabitable. Dozens of rooms have been completely destroyed due to dampness and lack of maintenance, so I can only apologise for you to rest here for a while.”

At this time, a trace of sorry emotion appeared on Don Quixote’s face. She has a castle, which occupies a small area. If you use a high emotional intelligence, it means that “the antiques are well preserved”.

Normally speaking, it has not been maintained for more than 100 years, and the vampire has to wrinkle its nose and roll.

Zhou Li Everyone knows Don Quixote’s predicament. In fact, Don Quixote is not short of money now. As a Guardian Shield hired by Zhou Li, his annual income is two times higher than that of other towns. The annual tax is even more. But Don Quixote did not use this income to repair the castle, and all the money was used to invest in town construction and training of the Guardian’s Shield.

Zhou Li has been to Don Quixote’s castle in previous life, or to say that he has been to that magical cave. That place is already a haunted house where breathing animals can’t easily survive, no, ghosts can’t even look down on this kind of place to be scary.

In the entire castle, except for a few rooms where Don Quixote lived, there is no room for human beings to live. It is difficult for Zhou Li to believe that this is a castle that a marquis can own. No, he had a hard time believing that it was a habitable castle.

“It’s okay, it’s fine here.”

It’s obvious that Elma really likes this small but sophisticated guest house. She looked towards the multi-colored cluster of windmills by the window edge, smiled and said to Don Quixote: “People in La Mancha love windmills.”

“This…”

Speaking of windmills, Don Quixote’s face showed a faint blush, which was extremely rare for her. But this is also a fleeting thing. She quickly returned to her normal state and explained to everyone with relief:

“Everyone in La Mancha likes windmills because of me.”

“When I was young, I admired a Knight like my father, but father at first didn’t train me to be a successor. He thought the war was too dangerous and didn’t want me to take risks as a girl.”

“But I wasn’t like a girl at the time, I was always playing Knight dragons with the boys in La Mancha. I played dragons a lot because I was tall. But actually, I wanted to be The heroic Knight.”

A faint smile appeared on Don Quixote’s face, who was caught in the memory. She looked at the colorful windmill and said nostalgically: “One day, I took the With a Knight sword woven by vines and a pot lid, I fantasized about becoming a heroic Knight. I went to various areas in La Mancha, trying to find a bad guy and subdue him. Unfortunately, there are no bad guys in La Mancha under my father’s governance, There were no dragons either, so little Knight didn’t find her target.”

“Later, I set my sights on windmills. At that time, I thought windmills were the biggest thing in this world, and fairy tale books The evil dragon is also the biggest thing. So I think that the windmill is actually transformed by the evil dragon, and the righteous I will go to crusade against the evil dragon and the big spinning windmill.”

The silver armor on the body , the long sword on the waist, and the badge on the chest. Don Quixote felt everything, but the little Knight appeared in front of him, holding a wooden sword and swung bravely at the huge windmill.

“Later, I fought with the windmill for a day, and was finally pulled home by the mother who came to teach me a fiercely lesson. This matter spread quickly, and everyone laughed and said I was a windmill. Knight. I was very upset, I thought they were laughing at my childish behavior.”

“But the stern father of old said nothing, and on my twelfth birthday, my father put I called over and handed me a real wooden sword.”

“He said, I am very young, but I have the idea of protecting others. Although I have only a thin body, I dare to take it. Challenge a formidable opponent with rough weapons. That day, the father taught me the badge of the Guardian Shield, and officially began to teach me to become a Knight.”

“Slowly, I began to learn Knight’s law, began to practice with the iron sword. One day, my father took the guardian shield to a deep valley to rescue. It happened that on that day, a fleeing devil beast broke into La Mancha. When I was only fifteen years old, I took my shield and sword, stood under the windmill, and killed the devil beast. ”

When the devil beast roared and fell, the setting sun pulled the shadow of the windmill very long, and the reflection of the spinning wind leaves fell on Don Quixote. She raised her head and seemed to understand something.

“Actually, I like the name of the windmill Knight. ”

The windmills are turned by the wind, bringing people a good harvest.
