Chapter 236: Unyielding (4/8)

After hearing Deng Jiaer's words full of disappointment, Su Cheng and Alan, who had a tacit understanding that seemed to have telepathy, raised their eyebrows in surprise.

Deng Jiaer... Sure enough, something happened... It's hard to imagine that Deng Jiaer, who is usually cheerful, would say such sad things...

In this atmosphere, my sudden appearance did not seem good.

Listening to the conversation between the two just now, it seems that Deng Jiaer is planning to open up and tell Alan about his troubles. If I suddenly show up now, Deng Jiaer might not want to talk about it.

So I'd better not show up now. I'd better secretly find a place closer to them to eavesdrop on their conversation. I also want to know what happened to Deng Jiaer...

Deng Jiaer is also serious. If you have any troubles, you can tell us. Alan and Kailuo and I will definitely do our best to help you solve your troubles...

While Su Cheng was thinking this in his mind, he quietly moved his steps so that he could get closer to Alan and Deng Jiaer so that he could hear their conversation more conveniently.

Finally, Su Cheng found a big tree that was just the right distance between Alan and Deng Jiaer.

This big tree is not far away from Alan and Deng Jiaer, and it is not very close at the same time. Hiding behind this tree, you can clearly hear the conversation between the two, and it is not easy for them to find it.

Therefore, Su Cheng quietly walked behind the big tree and hid behind it.

Just when Su Cheng hid behind the big tree, Deng Jiaer continued to say to Alan:

"Alan, you should know, right? My hometown is in the Dukedom of North Munster, and I come from the O'Brien family, which is known as the 'genius family'..."

"Everyone in our O'Brien family has talents far beyond ordinary people in some aspects, but most of the talents are in some weird aspects. For example, my mother's talents are very special. He is good at peeling apples and can peel them very beautifully, and his speed of peeling apples is unmatched by anyone..."

"I'm almost 15 years old now, and I still haven't found out what my talent is..."

Speaking of this, Deng Jiaer hugged his knees tighter and the cry in his voice became heavier.

Su Cheng, who was hiding behind the big tree not far away from Deng Jiaer and Alan, secretly poked half of his head out from behind the tree and observed the current situation of Alan and Deng Jiaer.

Although they were a bit far apart, Su Cheng could still vaguely see Deng Jiaer's eyes shining with tears again.

After hugging her knees tighter, Deng Jiaer continued to say in her crying voice:

"In my hometown in North Munster, the village where our O'Brien family lives, there is a small school."

"This school in our village specializes in teaching young tribesmen literacy and some basic knowledge."

"In our family, all children who reach the age of 8 will be sent to this school to learn knowledge until they graduate from this school at the age of 13."

"Alan... Not only have I been unable to find my talent, I'm also extremely stupid..."

"When I studied at this school in the village, my grades were always at the bottom of everyone."

"No matter how hard I study, I can't get rid of my last position."

"I continued to hold the title of last place until I graduated from school at the age of 13..."

"I can't do anything well. I can't do housework, I can't cook, I can't do anything."

Speaking of this, Deng Jiaer smiled self-deprecatingly, and then continued in a self-deprecating tone:

"My only specialty may be that I have a larger appetite than others and I can eat better than others..."

"Not long after I graduated from the village school at the age of 13, a guest suddenly came to our village."

"A female knight,

She was performing daily patrol duties. For some reasons, she was forced to take the cavalry team to our village to rest. "

"It was at that time that I saw the heroic appearance of the Imperial Knight for the first time..."

"At that time, the handsome appearance of the female knight riding on the horse and commanding the troops behind her left a very deep impression on me."

"How handsome do you have to be to command such a small army? How handsome do you have to be to command thousands of troops?"

"So, after seeing the heroic appearance of this female knight, I decided on my dream and future goal, which is to join the army. I want to become a knight and become a famous general, like Mr. Iser, the unified knight. , a great general who is famous all over the world and commands thousands of troops."

"So not long after my 14th birthday, I left my hometown alone and went to join the army."

"I told you what happened next when I first met Alan... After I left North Munster, I participated in a war between the Britannian Empire and the Frankish Empire."

"I lied about my age, but I was still not tall enough, so I still couldn't join the army. Finally, with the help of a knight, I successfully entered the army."

"It's just that the knight who helped me asked me to cut off the heads of three people on the battlefield before he allowed me to stay in the army, otherwise he would take me out of the army."

"Alan, you also know what happened next. Although I tried my best, I still couldn't kill a single enemy because I didn't know any fighting skills at that time. I was lucky not to die on the spot. ”

"After I was kicked out of the army, I ran out of money and could only wander around. Just when I was desperately thinking about going to the streets to beg for some money to go to North Munster, I happened to have a chance. Next, I met Alan and you guys."

"At that time, I was very desperate...At that time, I began to wonder if I was a waste..."

The cry in Deng Jiaer's voice became a little heavier.

"My friends, classmates and younger sisters around me have all figured out what their talents are. I am the only one who has no clue... I can't learn well when I study in school, and I can't do anything when I help my parents with housework. can not do well……"

"I finally had my dream and a goal to strive for, but in the end, I couldn't join the army because of my height..."

"I finally joined the army with the help of a knight, but I failed to live up to the expectations of the knight who gave me a chance and was kicked out of the army."

"The reason why I chose to live with you in Pendragon is actually because I am unwilling..."

"I'm not willing to just go back to North Munster without accomplishing anything... so I shamelessly rely on you and live with you, living in Pendragon..."

"The reason why I chose to be Sir's knight squire is, firstly, because I want to repay Sir for taking me in, and secondly, to be able to continue to realize my dream of 'becoming a famous general'... At that time, I felt , it should be easier to become someone’s knight squire and then start working as a knight squire than to start working as a soldier..."

"As a result, after becoming Sir's knight squire and following him on the battlefield, my situation has not changed. I am still so useless... I still accomplish nothing..."

"Having been your gentleman's knight squire for so long, I not only helped him a little bit in the end when he went to the battlefield for the first time, that is, during the counter-insurgency battle he commanded, I led the troops to attack the enemy's empty army. Outside of the hills, I didn’t help in any way... Especially in the rescue battle of the Kingdom of Lund last year, I was basically dispensable... Whether I was an ordinary soldier or a knight’s retinue, I They are all so useless..."

"I don't have Alan's level of talent in fighting skills. I can learn swordsmanship and spear skills in one go. I don't have the level of military talent that my husband has. When I was only 17 years old, I achieved a brilliant record that could go down in history. Being sought after and admired by so many people..."

"I am just a good-for-nothing person... I have been unable to do anything except follow you and look at you with envy..."

"When I went to bed tonight, when I thought about my current situation of accomplishing nothing and being useless and that I might never be able to realize my dream, I felt very aggrieved and wanted to cry, so I sneaked out of the camp. I came here to have a good cry, but I didn’t expect to be discovered by Alan.”

"Thank you, Alan, I feel a lot better now after crying so much and talking to you."

Speaking of this, Deng Jiaer wiped his eyes twice and wiped away the tears remaining in his eyes. A faint smile appeared on Deng Jiaer's face, and then he smiled at Alan:

"Alan, I feel much better. Thank you for staying with me tonight. I think about it now!"

"Even if I am useless and have no talent, I will never give up my dream of becoming a famous general!"

Although Deng Jiaer's eyes were still red because of the crying just now.

There were even some residual tears in his eyes.

But in the eyes that still had some tears left, a fighting spirit as strong as fire burst out.

Deng Jiaer looked directly at Alan with her fighting eyes, and then said word by word:

"I, Deng Jiaer - will not give up! I will not give in!"

Seeing Deng Jiaer regaining his energy and fighting spirit in front of him, Alan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Deng Jiaer... you are so amazing... you were so depressed just now, but you have regained your energy and fighting spirit so quickly."

"Maybe this is my talent." Deng Jiaer said in a half-joking tone, "My talent may be that I can quickly regain my fighting spirit. This may be the only strength of a useless person like me. People."

Just after Deng Jiaer finished saying this, a clear male voice suddenly came from behind a big tree not far from her:

"Who said you are worthless? Deng Jiaer, haven't you discovered where your talents lie?"
