victory

As expected, the important officials from the central imperial city arrived very quickly. They went straight to Joseph's hut, travel-stained and excited, hoping to see the demeanor of the hero described in the book.

But what they saw in front of them completely disappointed them.

Joseph was wearing a brand-new silver helmet and stood in the middle of the room with a cane. His spine, which could not stand upright, made his body twisted in a strange way, but his lowered head was now held high.

It's like... a limp worm, hideously burrowed into the gorgeous armor, with a provocative cold light radiating from its compound eyes.It even made people feel a little sympathy for that cold thing.

"You!" The mayor was furious, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, but he quickly calmed down again.

Because the official in charge of awarding the title quickly asked with deep meaning, "Don't tell me this is Joseph." There were completely two people who were dumbfounded before.

That's right, the mayor's mind turned quickly, and he said as soon as he patted his head: "You see, I tend to forget things when I'm old, and I brought you here even though Joseph lived in another place. I'm really sorry."

The official waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, but his eyes stayed on him for a long time, "Then please lead me there, but this time, please don't go to the wrong place again."

The mayor hurriedly vowed that he would never make a mistake again, and hurriedly surrounded the officials with others and left.

Just gestured to those around me before leaving.

He watched them leave with a look of sadness in his sleepy eyes.He managed to raise his head, and originally planned to shout out, "I am Joseph, I am the real Joseph, that book is a fake." But when he saw the person walking towards him, his voice It was as if a handful of stones had been stuffed inside, and his throat was dripping with blood.

That was the girl who used to shyly chased after her, but now the bright disgust, loathing and contempt were engraved on her face.

"You are such an annoying person." As she said this, she pushed him down rudely and took off his armor, "But...it doesn't matter, the mayor wanted to give you a chance because he wanted to take pity on you. But you just don't cherish it, but it doesn't matter, in order to avoid the situation, we have a second preparation."

He is limp like a worm, and his only good ear is now a little buzzing.

"Joseph... oh... I don't know what to call you anymore. In short, there will be another Joseph to replace you in the future. After all...you are so difficult to deal with, you have made us ashamed..." The girl hugged When the armor hurriedly stepped out the door, he dropped another sentence.

He lay on the ground and waited for a while before slowly regaining some consciousness.

The smell of rum lingered in his nostrils, and he took a greedy breath, feeling as if he was drunk.

The awarding ceremony was held in the square, and even though his eyes were not very good, he could tell that there were other people wearing his armor and smiling brightly.

He heard all the people shouting loudly:

"Joseph!"

"Joseph!"

"Joseph!"

"Joseph!"

Obviously, he was the only person named Joseph in this small town, but none of them called him.

The exciting award ceremony was held for three days, and the rum was fragrant for three days.

It's just that no one has brought him food.

He could only go out to buy some bread with his weak body.

Now, to be honest, he doesn't really mind the various and complicated eyes of others, it's just...

He looked wistfully at his lonely savings, the first 20 years of his life were devoted to the battlefield, and without the help of the townspeople, he would starve to death...
