บท 9: Chapter 9 Studying in the Academy
Gavin dodged sideways and easily dodged Ryan's sword move, then thrust towards Ryan with lightning speed. Ryan hurriedly parried, but it was too late. With only two moves, Gavin knocked away Coach Ryan's sword.
Gavin put his sword on Ryan's neck and said with a smile: "Coach Ryan, you lost."
Coach Ryan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "What a good boy, you are really better than the old!"
Gavin retracted his sword and saluted respectfully to the instructor: "Instructor Ryan, this is all due to your years of teaching."
At this time, Sir Edmund came over, with a smile on his face and eyes full of admiration: "Gavin, your growth and progress are rapid. I really saw you right."
Gavin quickly saluted respectfully and said: "Sir, thank you for your help and cultivation."
Sir Edmond patted Gavin: "My child, I have witnessed your growth with my own eyes. But remember, a true knight must not only have superb swordsmanship, but also have noble moral character and firm belief."
Gavin nodded heavily: "Sir, I understand."
Sir Edmund looked at Gavin's somewhat familiar face with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes. The Gavin in front of him reminded Edmund of his brother Morton Cotoin. Except for the different hair color, the similar face seemed to make his eldest brother come alive again.
Sir Edmund calmed down and said: "Gavin, given your ability, I want you to become a knight squire in the Tyrell family or the Redwyne family. Have you ever considered going? Of course I suggest Tilly. This will be of great benefit to your future development."
Gavin lowered his head slightly and said with an expression of embarrassment: "Sir, thank you for your kindness. I want to study in the city for a while, so I hope the decision on this matter will be postponed."
Sir Edmund was quite surprised: "Studying in the city? My son, bachelors cannot pursue glory and must give up their surnames."
Gavin said sincerely: "My lord, my desire for knowledge is no less than glory, not to mention that it is okay to just study without taking the oath of becoming a bachelor."
Sir Edmond looked at Gavin and said after a long time: "If you are very insistent, I can write you a letter of recommendation."
Gavin saluted gratefully: "Thank you, sir!"
Sir Edmond was slightly surprised, and after a moment of silence he said: "I am saddened by what happened to your mother, and please give me my condolences. But Gavin, remember, you still have family around, and I have always regarded you as my nephew. "
Gavin raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes, and looked at Emond with emotion, and said: "Thank you for your concern, sir. My mother will be very happy when she finds out. I have always regarded you as my relative. "
After Gavin said goodbye to Sir Edmund and Coach Ryan, because he had just talked about his mother, he thought about going to the beach. He turned around and started walking out of the castle with a heavy heart. His steps were steady, but his memories were flying. Catkins.
In the past eight years, Gavin's mother Alice's health has been deteriorating, like a beacon that is about to run out of fuel, the fire of life is swaying and may be extinguished at any time. Since Gavin traveled to this world, he has been dependent on his mother. In his heart, his mother Alice is his warmest and most solid support in this strange world.
Although he came from time travel, the love Alice gave him was pure and deep. It was the gentle comfort on countless nights, the warm embrace in every setback, and the meticulous care in life. This love is unreserved, like the spring breeze blowing on the face, like the warm sun shining, making him feel endless warmth and peace in this world full of unknowns and challenges.
However, Alice's condition on the hospital bed made Gavin's heart feel like it was being cut by thousands of sharp knives, and he was suffering every minute and every second. He cried silently in the dead of night countless times and prayed to the gods to improve his mother's condition. But the cruel reality is like a cold shackle, tightly binding his hope.
In the seventh year after coming to the castle, Gavin's mother died of illness. Gavin had his mother cremated in the tradition of Bellerith.
When the flames are ignited, the raging fire engulfs everything. Gavin stared intently at the burning flames, tears glistening in his eyes. He seemed to see his mother's gentle smile and concerned eyes before she was alive, and memories flooded into his heart.
The flame gradually extinguished, and the mother's figure also disappeared. Gavin could no longer hold back his tears and flowed freely. But he knew that his mother would rest in peace in another world. Gavin stood quietly, saying goodbye to his mother silently in his heart.
After walking out of the castle, Gavin couldn't help but look up at the tall and majestic castle again. Many of the exterior walls have been renovated, and the original mottled stone walls are now brand new, solid and majestic. The newly replaced ballistae shone coldly in the sun, showing its inviolable power. Even the bumpy roads on weekdays have been simply repaired and become smooth and smooth.
The strength of the territory has been significantly enhanced during this period, all thanks to the salt-making method contributed by Gavin. Through this, the Cotoin family obtained a large number of golden dragons, which led to the territory's military becoming stronger and stronger.
The year before last, the Cortoin family responded to the king's call and participated in the counter-rebellion against the Iron Islands. In that war, Edmond Cotoyin finally won glory and wealth by relying on his strong family strength.
After the war, the family gained a lot. Not only did they obtain a large amount of treasure, but they also improved the family's status in the kingdom.
Prime Minister Jon Arryn also personally came forward to rule on the ownership of the two disputed villages on the border between the Cortoin and Hightower families. Jon Arryn obviously intended to maintain the conflict, and gave one village to the Cortoin family, while the other was left unresolved, resulting in the two families still in conflict. Gavin, who heard the news, also silently complained about the Prime Minister's cunning.
Moreover, because of the powerful blow to the Iron Islands, the Ironmen attacks and looting incidents that once frightened the coastal people no longer occurred. Even in a small port next to the town, there are three pirate ships seized from the Iron Islands, a mighty sailing ship, and two narrow long ships parked neatly. They are quietly moored there, as if telling of the battles and victories they once had.
