Chapter 654 [Sword Saint] Jacob (Part 1)

December 30, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia Empire, Pendragon.

The weather in Pendragon tonight is not very good. The snow was falling heavily, and the white snow decorated Pendragon into a silver city.

A carriage was marching hard against the wind and snow on the streets that were already covered with snow.

In the carriage, Su Cheng rubbed his hands and breathed at the hands that were still cold no matter how much he rubbed them.

Su Cheng, who really couldn't stand the severe cold, shouted to the driver:

"Mr. Coachman! Can you make the carriage run faster? Even for a second! I want to get to the warm Baiyang Palace as soon as possible!"

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, he heard the coachman sighing helplessly:

"If possible, I would also like to drive the carriage faster, but the road is full of snow and it is difficult to move. It is already the fastest speed."

"Alas..." After listening to what the coachman said, Su Cheng knocked on his head and said in a voice that only he could hear clearly, "If only I could not attend the year-end dinner..."

Su Cheng returned to DìDū this time to attend this year's year-end dinner.

At this time last year, because he had just become the new leader of the Knights of Michael and had a lot of matters to deal with, he had no time to attend the year-end dinner. Therefore, Su Cheng did not attend the year-end dinner last year - the year 290.

With Su Cheng's current status as a distinguished person, he must have an invitation to the year-end dinner every year.

Sure enough - in one and a half months, Su Cheng received the invitation letter to the year-end dinner of this year, 291.

In fact, Su Cheng didn't really want to attend this year's year-end dinner at the beginning, because the distance from Avalon Fortress to Pendragon was really too far. Even if he drove as fast as he could, a round trip would take 1 hour. About a month or so.

People like Su Cheng who happen to be in a remote area can refuse to attend the year-end dinner, and no one will say anything to you, because every year there are many people who refuse to attend the year-end dinner because of the distance.

However - after much thought, Su Cheng finally decided to attend this year's year-end dinner.

Because Su Cheng wanted to see Jacob, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Su Cheng's feelings for Jacob have always been complicated.

It can be said that Jacob is indispensable for his current high achievements.

It can be said that without Jacob, there might not be Su Cheng, the 30th leader of the Michael Knights.

Su Cheng has always had gratitude, respect, and a touch of... family affection for Jacob.

In Su Cheng's eyes, Jacob was his boss, benefactor, and a father-like presence.

Su Cheng had not seen Jacob since the military parade at the beginning of this year. Su Cheng, who missed Jacob a little, decided to take advantage of this year's year-end dinner to go back to DìDū to meet Jacob.

Su Cheng originally wanted to bring Alan, Alyssa, and Kai Luoer with him.

Alyssa is Iser's daughter. As the daughter of an earl, she, like Su Cheng, receives invitations to the year-end dinner every year, so she can also attend the year-end dinner.

A distinguished guest like Su Cheng can bring up to two relatives to the year-end dinner, so Su Cheng can just bring Alan and Kailuo.

So - Su Cheng's original plan was to bring Alan, Kailuoer and Alyssa back to DìDū together, and then eat and drink together at the year-end dinner.

However, in the end, Alan, Kailuoer and Alyssa did not come, and only Su Cheng returned to DìDū alone.

There is no other reason,

It's because this winter is really too cold.

The climate in recent years has been somewhat abnormal. Winter is coming earlier and earlier, and it is getting colder and colder.

This year is especially serious.

Although the arrival time of winter this year is similar to previous years, this winter is much colder than previous years.

Alan, Kailuo Er, and Alyssa were immediately succumbed to the "power" of this year's severe cold and decided not to go anywhere but to stay in Avalon Fortress for the winter.

Therefore, Su Cheng could only go back to DìDū to attend the year-end dinner alone in the severe cold...

Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, Su Cheng now regrets returning to DìDū for the year-end dinner...

"This damn weather..."

After cursing in a low voice the horrible weather this winter, Su Cheng rubbed his hands together again to keep them warm.

At this moment, a loud shout came from behind his carriage:

"This carriage in front of you! Is it Su Cheng's car?"

--Um? Is this sound?

After hearing this voice, Su Cheng's eyes lit up.

I opened the car window on my side, and the cold wind immediately poured in through the window.

Su Cheng braved the cold wind coming in from the window and stuck his head out to look behind the carriage.

He saw a carriage right behind his carriage, and a middle-aged man with blue hair and half white hair, like Su Cheng, leaned half of his body out of the window.

After seeing that the person sitting in this carriage was Su Cheng, the gray-haired middle-aged man with blue hair immediately waved to Su Cheng with a little excitement on his face.

"Mr. Albert?"

…

…

"Oh, this winter is so cold."

Albert rubbed his hands while getting on Su Cheng's carriage.

This middle-aged man with blue hair and half white hair is none other than Albert, the current leader of the Rachel Knights and the second-in-command in the imperial world.

Su Cheng quite liked Albert, an enthusiastic, open and informal uncle, so his personal relationship with Albert was pretty good.

After seeing Albert, Su Cheng immediately extended an invitation to Albert and invited Albert to ride in a carriage with him.

This not only makes it easier to reminisce about old times together, but also makes the carriage warmer if the two of them ride in the same carriage.

Albert, who seemed to be unable to bear the severe cold this winter, immediately readily agreed to Su Cheng's suggestion, abandoned his carriage, and then boarded Su Cheng's carriage, riding in the same carriage as Su Cheng.

After Albert boarded his carriage, the carriage became much warmer immediately.

"If I had known that Pendragon was so cold right now, I wouldn't have come back." Albert breathed at his frozen hands, "Huh...it's really, really cold..."

"At first I thought that Pendragon was located in the south of Avalon Fortress, so it might be warmer." Su Cheng smiled bitterly, "But when I arrived at Pendragon, I discovered that it was just as cold! And it was the same." Because the humidity in Pendragon is heavier, Pendragon is even colder."

"Su Cheng, when did you arrive at DìDū?"

"I just arrived in DìDū this afternoon. Because I am too lazy to take care of my long-abandoned home, I am currently staying at Mr. Iser's house. I just moved into Mr. Iser's house in the afternoon and haven't rested for long. Came here for the year-end dinner.”

Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused for a moment, then smiled:

"I went back to DìDū to attend this year's year-end dinner, actually mainly to see Mr. Jacob, whom I haven't seen for a long time. I don't know how Mr. Jacob is doing now. I don't know if Mr. Jacob is still in good health. "

"Oh? What a coincidence. When I return to DìDū this time, I actually want to see Jacob, whom I haven't seen for a long time. After all, he is also a good friend of mine. Su Cheng, you don't actually have to worry about Jacob's health. Jacob's The body is much tougher than you think. In terms of body functions, it may not be inferior to some knights in the army. "

Having said this, Albert put on a strange smile and then continued:

"Su Cheng, do you know what Jacob's title was when he was young?"

"Mr. Jacob's title when he was young? I don't know."

"It's normal that you don't know. After all, this matter happened too long ago, and Jacob himself didn't like to talk about things from his youth, so many people of the younger generation don't know about Jacob's past deeds. Su Cheng, you should know that Jacob once led an army when he was young, right?"

"Well, I know that. I've heard it from other people."

"Jacob was a knight before. He first became famous as a military attache. Not long after he was named a new knight for his merits, he voluntarily resigned from the knighthood and became a civil servant. Then slowly he became a knight. He became famous as a civil servant."

"Mr. Jacob, has he ever been made a knight?!" Su Cheng looked shocked.

"That's right." Albert nodded, "But - in fact, Jacob had already begun to become famous before he was made a knight."

"Before joining the army and becoming a knight, Jacob had a very resounding title - Sword Master."

"At that time, the name of 'Sword Master Jacob' was known to everyone in DìDū."
