our family is gone

Chapter 95

"Hey brother! Come here."

One person saw the captain sitting blankly on the side, looking out of place with the whole lively scene, so he took the initiative to invite him.

It took the captain a while to realize that the person was calling him, but he didn't know the person, and he wanted to refuse, but he didn't want him to come directly, so he half-pushed and half-pushed himself to the wine table.

"Come on! Give my brother a drink."

The man waved and yelled, and someone immediately brought a large wooden cup. The golden ale foamed thickly in the collision, and a malt aroma permeated the air.

The captain couldn't help but bit his lips when he saw this. He used to go to the tavern with his subordinates to relax, but he hasn't had a drink for a while since he was depressed.

But at this moment, he waved his hand a little awkwardly.

"I have no money~"

"Hahaha, of course I invite you!" The man on the side laughed loudly and patted the captain on the shoulder, "You are a hero, how can I ask you to pay for it?"

hero?

The captain froze for a moment when he heard the word, he wasn't sure when was the last time he heard it, let alone used it to describe himself.

He was already in a very sensitive state, and when he heard this, he instinctively dodged their enthusiasm, raised his hand and refused, "I'm not a hero..."

"Why isn't it a hero? If it weren't for you, that guy would have succeeded."

"That's right, it was you who stood up and stopped that guy."

"That's right, that stick is too strong."

"Come on, let me toast you."

The few at the same table also echoed, but the words of praise were not pleasant to the captain's ears.

Why didn't he step into the battlefield in pursuit of honor, but he never thought that he would be recognized at this time.

why?
why!
The captain hated the crazy self more and more. You are obviously a glorious imperial soldier, so how could you do such a thing for your own selfish desire?
"I don't deserve to be called a hero, I'm sorry for you..."

The captain couldn't say it, he didn't dare to admit what he had done before, so he raised the glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

"it is good!"

"I'll buy a drink and serve our hero."

"..."

The others were a little drunk after a few drinks, so they didn't hear what the captain said, but continued to drink and continue drinking.

Disma was playing cards with a few guys, and Barristan was drinking with others at the wine table. Only Leonard, who had taken off his armor, sat beside him.

Lance did not directly participate in those people's singing and dancing parties. His current identity would only disturb their interest, and he didn't like those flattering words very much.

It's rare to relax, so I just set up a barbecue stall and do it myself.

One pig is definitely not enough to feed hundreds of people, so there is also smoked wolf meat and fish.

Since he knocked down the boss of the boat and took control of the pier, the catch has increased, and the price has naturally been lowered. Now people in the town can't afford pork, but they can also eat fish.

As for the beef and mutton, only the Lord of Lance has the privilege to eat,
This sizzling skewer is so fragrant that it only needs a little salt to eat.

"Come on, have a taste."

Lance passed half of the skewers over, and his actions brought the dazed Leonard back to his senses.

"Thank you sir."

"If you want to go, go and play."

"No, I just remembered something." Leonard looked a little dazed, as if recalling something from the past.

"Would you mind telling me~" Lance took care of the skewers in his hand, and his tone was calm, not asking, but chatting.

Leonard hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then asked the lord.

"My lord, do you believe in God?"

Lance hesitated for a few seconds when he heard this, but instead of answering directly, he asked back.

"Why do you say that?"

Realizing that he was not as pious to the church as he seemed, Lance opened his mouth and said tentatively:

"Tell me, what caused your faith to be shaken."

Leonard was silent for a moment, as if he was preparing words, but also as if he was recalling.

"I was born in a very ordinary town..."

Lance listened silently. Leonard's parents were both devout believers of the church. The family he lived in had a strong religious atmosphere. When he was very young, his parents sent him to a church school to study the holy scriptures.

That kind of life is not good. Anyone who can't recite the holy law will be whipped, and he will be whipped if he doesn't listen to the priest. He also saw many children being dragged into the small black room by the priest and screaming.

He had suffered a lot in the church school, and every time he begged his parents to take him away, he was rejected. For this reason, he used to hate his parents very much.

This relationship did not end until he grew up, married a wife and had children, but he did become a believer in the church, even very fanatical when he was young, obeying the holy scriptures and taking the holy law as his dogma.

When the church called for an expedition, he abandoned his wife and children without hesitation, sold most of the family property and raised a horse and a long sword to participate in the church expedition.

Originally, in pursuit of the Holy Light and Glory, he took the lead on the expedition and contributed to the church's countless killings of enemies, capturing cities after cities.

And he also grew up from a miscellaneous soldier, and even became the leader of the army, with various medals on his shoulder armor.

It wasn't until the religious fanaticism died down that he saw the truth of the expedition.

Those priests of the church were collecting money like crazy, boxes of gold coins and antiques were taken away.

Those church knights raised their butcher knives and killed wildly, but they didn't care that they were just unarmed civilians.

Those crusaders raped and looted, and committed appalling atrocities.

What he saw along the way made him doubt whether his actions were just, and whether the Holy Light had abandoned them.

But those priests can still use divine spells to heal wounds, and knights can still rely on the power of faith.

They committed all kinds of evil deeds, but the Holy Light still shines on those people.

This discovery shook Leonard's faith, but his childhood experience made him dare not resist the orders from the church, so he could only obey them.

Tormented by guilt, he wants to help those people, but has no money.

All the spoils of this expedition were taken by the church, and all they got from these crusaders were faith and death.

In order to get money, Leonard often hides the loot to help ordinary people, until his act of saving is discovered.

However, in the eyes of the church coalition forces who raped, plundered, murdered and set fire to, Leonard's theft was unacceptable, and he was no longer brave at the beginning of the battle, so they accused him of having the bad habit of stealing and defiled the Holy Light. expelled him from the legion.

　Many original players are wondering why Leonard didn't steal the protagonist's loot. I will fill in the original story and explain it to you.
