Maybe it was because Abel used to be a fitness trainer, but he was able to master all kinds of Knight moves very quickly. He could already do them accurately and quickly. Now, all he needed to do was practice and his own strength.
After half a year of endless training, Abel had mastered all of the family's inherited skills, such as the use of the bow and arrow, the horsemanship, the charging lance, the sword shield, the big shield, and so on. His eldest brother, Zach, was complaining about the unfairness of the gods. It took him a few years to master all of these skills, and his father, the Knight of Bennett, always had a thoughtful look on his face, which made Abel feel like something was about to happen.
In this half a year, Abel did not use the master's' condensing potion '. Ever since he learned the importance of Knight inheritance from his father, he decided to learn the family's Knight inheritance first, and then find a chance to use the master's' condensing potion '. He didn't expect that in just half a year, without using any potions, Abel would become a level 2 novice Knight.
During dinner, as soon as Abel sat down, he realized something was wrong. His mother, Nala's eyes were a little red and swollen, but his father, the Knight of Bennett, looked very determined. Before dinner, the Knight of Bennett stood up and said to Abel, "My son, Abel, you are the most promising child I've ever seen. The gods have given you wisdom and bravery, but the Family Bennett is unable to raise you. This is the loss of the Family Bennett, and also blasphemy to the gods."
The Knight of Bennett glanced at his wife, then looked at his two sons. He said in a low voice, "I've already talked to my good friend, the Knight Marshall Harry. In the next few years, Abel will learn from the Knight of Marshall. If he is satisfied, he will give his unicorn crest to you."
Abel knew the Knight of Marshall. He was the Knight of Bennett's best friend, the best comrade, and the best brother. The two of them had participated in the war against the orcs, risked their lives together, and returned home together.
Unlike the Knight of Bennett, the Knight of Marshall did not have any children. His wife had died in an accident, and the Knight of Marshall never remarried. He had always stayed in the castle where his wife was buried, and the Knight of Marshall's domain had never had an heir.
This was a painful choice for the Knight of Bennett, not only because Abel Bennett was going to change his name to Abel Harry, but also because his son was going to leave his family for real. He was going to represent another family, and he was going to wear another family's coat of arms on his clothes, on his armor, and on his flag.
The Knight of Bennett had always had a headache about the arrangement of his genius second son, Abel. He had thought of many ways, including asking his wife, Nala's merchant father, Cass, whom he had not contacted for a long time. However, considering that Cass did not have the resources to train a Knight, and money alone was not enough to train a Knight. On top of that, Cass was far away in the Duchy of Rohr, so he gave up on the idea.
The Knight of Bennett's full name was Ceci Bennett. The reason why people called him Bennett was because he was the only branch of the Family Bennett that lived on this plain. As early as 200 years ago, the Knight of Bennett's ancestor had obtained the title of a Lord because of his military exploits. He had also obtained a piece of land, which was the current domain of the Knight of Bennett. At that time, it was called the Lord of Bennett Domain.
The main branch of the Family Bennett lived in the capital of the Duchy of Carmel, Bacon City. If Abel was sent there, although Abel could become a Knight, he would also become the guard of one of the direct descendants of the Family Bennett. The Knight of Bennett did not want his second son to sacrifice his freedom or even his life for someone else.
On the other hand, the Knight of Bennett did not want to be laughed at for losing his title. He had already decided that he would only visit the main branch of the Knight of Bennett in Bacon City when his domain was upgraded to a Lord of Bennett Domain. This was the pride of the Knight of Bennett, and he would not allow anyone to trample on his pride.
The Knight Marshall Harry was different from the Knight of Bennett. The Family Harry was a famous big family in Bacon City. The Marshall Harry Knight had obtained a piece of land with his family's help. Because of his relationship with the Knight of Bennett, this piece of land was located 300 miles away from the Knight of Bennett Domain. It was the current Harry Knight Domain. Even the castle was a new castle.
The inheritance of the Knight of Harry's family was very good. They had once produced an elite knight. Although the inheritance of the Harry family was different from the inheritance of the Bennett family, the Knight of Bennett would never deny the excellence of the other family's inheritance.
The Knight of Marshall Harry had told Abel many times that he wanted to adopt a son as his successor, but it was not easy to find one. Children of non-nobles were not worth considering, but children of nobles all had their own missions. For example, if a noble had three sons, the eldest son would have the right to inherit. But in this world, a duel, a conflict, or even a disease could kill the eldest son, and then the second son would inherit the right to inherit. This was also how nobles passed down their inheritance. No one would complain about having more children, it was just a matter of spending more money on education.
The Knight of Bennett was sure that Abel was a genius. He was very experienced, and he knew how good his second son was. In order not to delay Abel's growth, he made this painful decision. Family Bennett would lose a very powerful Knight in the future, and it was all because of the gold coins.
The atmosphere of the dinner was very gloomy. Zach dropped the beef from his fork onto his plate a few times. Usually, the Knight of Bennett would scold his eldest son for his rude behavior, but today, the Knight of Bennett just sat there expressionlessly and slowly ate his food. Nora ate very little, and most of the time, she was crying.
After dinner, the servants came forward to clear the table. The Knight of Bennett called Abel to his study.
The study was the place where the family stored important letters and documents. Usually, no one was allowed to enter. This was the first time Abel had been here. The study was very large. On the white wall facing the door, there were portraits of the previous owners of the castle. The rest of the walls were made up of whole bookcases. The bookcases were neatly stacked with large, small, red, and black books.
In the middle of the study, there was a huge wooden desk. Due to many years of use, the surface of the desk was naturally rubbed against the surface of the desk, giving the study a sense of history. This was the core of the knight's domain. All the orders were issued here.
The Knight of Bennett took out a large oak box from the desk. The box was decorated with deerskin, and there was a red copper handle on the top of the arched lid. On one side of the lid was a buckle made of deerskin.
After pulling open the buckle, the Knight of Bennett opened the oak box. There was a set of equipment neatly arranged inside.
He took out a leather armor. It was a half-body leather armor. The front and back were inlaid with small square pieces of polished iron. There were several pieces of white iron folded from the shoulders to the elbows. This was an armor inlaid with iron scales, which was between iron armor and leather armor. It was much cheaper than iron armor, and even cheaper than mail armor with similar defensive power. Since the inlaid iron scales had stronger defensive power than ordinary cotton armor and leather armor, this inlaid with iron scales had also become an option for knights who were in financial straits.
"This set of leather armor was a trophy I obtained from killing a fiery bull in the war with the orcs. I gave it to the master armorer in the army to make." As he spoke, he took out the lower half of the leather armor from the oak box. It was a pair of leather trousers with white iron kneecaps.
"This is a light longsword, these are calf leather boots, and these are gloves. I don't have anything too precious to give you, my son."
Abel looked at the set of equipment in the box. His eyes couldn't help but glisten. He recognized this set of equipment. It was his father's backup set. A Knight couldn't only have one set of equipment. Iron armor was sometimes damaged in battle. During the time it was sent for repair, the backup set was the guarantee of the Knight's safety.
Without hesitation or refusal, Abel took the oak box from his father. It was very heavy. This was the most precious gift a father could give to his child.
