"Why isn't he dead? This guy deserves to be eaten by wild dogs!"
The female knight named Tahitian grinded her teeth slightly and cursed in her heart. Unfortunately, no matter how vicious the curse was, her smiling face still swayed slightly a few feet away.⊙
Time has advanced four hourglasses, and a group of knights rushed to their new residence. This is a small farm located on the outskirts of Illyria. It belongs to a third-class earl who works in the city. On the surface, there are only a few
Ten farmers and a few servants manage the place,
But a small fortress was opened in an unknown place. A walled barn is a small tower, and the farmhouse below it is built with bluestone. There is even a small conference hall and several places below it.
The warehouse and the two underground floors can accommodate hundreds of people.
Now, in one of the separated rooms, several knights were sitting and watching an interrogation. The person being interrogated was naturally the young man with long gray hair.
It's just that this guy still looks carefree. He is sitting on the chair in the center with a very relaxed posture, with that damn smile, as if he is not worried about his situation at all. Although his eyes are half-open,
She closed her eyes, but the female knight always felt that he was secretly looking at her. Even the magic armor on her body couldn't defend against that kind of substantial gaze, as if there were a swarm of ants crawling around her body, making her feel itchy.
People are upset.
How on earth did this guy deceive the teacher?
At that moment at noon, as long as the four knight swords continued to clash, he would die even if he had five lives. Unfortunately, the four knights were superb in swordsmanship and had enough power to draw their swords, so they stopped in time when the old knight shouted.
I made a move. My control over the sword is amazing.
It's a pity to praise him - although superb swordsmanship is a must-have ability for the Jinjinhua knights, at this moment, the female knight named Tahiti really hopes that the swordsmanship of those knights is a little worse. Which sword can cut this annoying guy's neck?
Just relax and kill him.
However, reality is never as good as people think.
At that critical moment, the old knight spoke up to stop the radical action of the four Jin Jinhua Knights to silence them, and gave a sufficient reason - as a knight, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. If this person is really a spy, then find out how he did it.
Knowing the purpose and route of his group, and appearing among the four of them 'just in time'
Being by your side is far more important than killing a spy. And if he was just an unlucky guy who happened to have everything happen to him, there would be no reason to kill him. So in the end, they brought this guy here and handed him over to a
Specialized in interrogation, mages who are good at magic, and priests who can detect lies.
Just let you live a little longer... As soon as I am sure that you are lying, I will personally give you an unforgettable lesson. Then we will see how long you can maintain that idiotic smile!
The female knight thought so at the time, but now that the time has come, she found that this matter was not at all as she imagined. On the contrary, it was quite difficult——
"What's your name?" asked one of the knights in charge of the interrogation.
"Edward."
"Edward? Haha... Your surname happens to be Vincent, right?"
Although the voice of the answer was soft, the name made everyone's expressions freeze for a moment. There was a strange silence in the space for a while, but the silence was immediately broken by laughter. Even he wanted to tear this vulgar scoundrel into pieces.
The female knight couldn't help but sneer.
"Of course not, my surname is Snowden." The young man showed some confusion: "What are the benefits of having a surname of Vincent?"
"Benefits? There are many benefits. You actually don't even know about Tuminis' monster killer?"
"I do know that there are many magicians in Tuminis? But there seems to be no such one in my impression."
"Stupid guy, even the crossbows you stole have his name engraved on them, right?"
"Wait a minute. There are two mistakes here. First of all, it becomes ownerless after the owner dies. I picked it up, and the name engraved on it is Burgundy, which is a city. I have heard of this before.
.”
"Burgundy is the city of the army! Also, there are no ownerless things on the battlefield. Even the belongings of the dead soldiers are regarded as relics or the trophies of the victor. This is the sacred code of the empire.
Rules! Stealing on the battlefield is especially bad!"
"Is that a war just now? Isn't it a black man eating a black man? And, ah, speaking of it, the armor on the Baroness Tahitian seems to be made by Burgundy, right? He also called it 'without magic'
Magic Armor', he seems quite proud of it!"
"Which of your eyes has seen my pride?"
The man tilted his head slightly in confusion and stared at the female knight. She finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted coldly. It took only a few words to start asking, but the topic was unknowingly taken away by the rogue guy.
Unfortunately, it even got involved in myself!
The feeling of being fooled made anger rise in her heart again: "Don't try to get through with your nonsense Lemon! You spy, tell me honestly who sent you here! What do you want to know when you approach us?
!What do you want to do again!”
"Don't be ridiculous, Miss Baroness, I am a good person, not a spy, just an ordinary passerby who comes to Illyria to make a living!"
"Passers? Will passers-by quietly approach a dozen knights without being noticed by anyone?"
"You didn't notice when I led the horse to you? No matter how powerful I am, I can't let the horse be silent, right?"
Tahiti gritted her teeth and turned her eyes away, and then her face froze with anger. The mage and priest responsible for detection and verification nodded slightly to her at the same time, indicating that what this guy just said was not a lie!
In other words, he is just a poor unlucky guy who got involved in this matter?
If it were normal times, the female knight might question the results of this detection... But now there are both divine and arcane methods gathered here. Even if this person really has any ability, it is impossible to deceive the magic network and divine power at the same time.
Otherwise, he has
Why is it necessary to be a spy? What's more, even Tahiti, whose perception of the magic network is not qualified, can see it. His affinity for the magic network is close to zero, and even if he is given a magic item, he may not be able to use it.
, let alone others!
"... When this Lord Knight said he could let me become a knight, I actually refused. Because if you can't let me do it, I can do it right away. First of all, I have to think about it, because I don't want to
What's the point of living like an unlucky soldier who died suddenly on the battlefield? They say knights are actually cannon fodder... But later these knights really proved that they are capable, so
Of course I can't let go
I've passed the chance. You see, I came to Illyria just to make a living. Being the squire of a rich... no, a promising knight is actually not bad. If you are a noble man with a title,
, then I don’t have to step forward to fight, and I can also learn some sword skills and so on. If the knight is promoted, the attendant is more or less a butler or the like. A dragon-slaying knight, his attendant is also quite great, isn’t it? By the way,
What exactly are you planning to do?"
"We have some secret operations. We can't tell you for the time being..."
"Oh, it's a secret. It's better not to tell it. People like me can easily cause problems if they know too much. Isn't it about subverting the dynasty? Haha, of course it's impossible..."
"Although it's not the case, it's almost the same. Don't ask any more questions..."
"Of course, of course, Illyria's current defense is very strong. There are knights of the Emperor's Elector. I heard that they can summon thunder..."
"What's the big deal? It's just some..."
The interrogation that followed was bound to be lackluster... The man's vivid but extremely philistine answer made almost all the knights frown, but it also greatly increased the degree of credibility. Everyone could see that this guy had nothing on him and knew nothing.
There is actually no point in getting entangled.
The female knight Mo sighed, nodded to the teacher, stood up and left the room. But when she turned to the stairs leading to the ground, she stopped, leaned against the wall nearby, and covered her cheeks with her hands.
The iron gloves brought a slight chill, but the heat on his cheeks felt like fire.
Why are you so excited?
That guy seemed to be a truly nameless scoundrel, with no deceit and no secrets, so his anger was particularly ridiculous - if he was a spy, he would be killed with one sword. It didn't matter if he was not a spy, but what on earth was he doing just now? Not only was he big
Yelling, he even grabbed the question from the interrogation, but the question he asked was completely irrelevant...
The knights here are all strangers. This kind of behavior... Even if there is no problem, others will inevitably guess what the problem is.
That hateful bastard must find an opportunity to kill him!
"Huh? Who are you going to kill?"
Cursing a few vicious words in her heart, her turbulent mood had just calmed down a bit, but the whispered questions were like sharp knives piercing her heart. She jumped up suddenly and pulled out her sword with a clang! But then she saw clearly the person who asked the question.
People stand very far away——
There are at least ten feet, which is the distance of one step, and then you can pierce the man's heart with the sword blade and watch the gushing blood take him to death, or slit his throat? Let him die.
Now, you can no longer say those annoying words?
But she could only think about it, because the man was accompanied by two of Tahiti's knight companions, so she could only grit her teeth angrily and sheath her sword: "You...you, what are you looking at! What are you looking at?"
There are two of you, why did you bring this guy out?"
"I've finished asking questions and I have no more questions. So naturally I want to come out?"
The two knights stared blankly at the angry but blushing face of the female knight. She had an unexpectedly charming look that they had never seen before in their memory, which made them stunned. Then some 'guy' responded with a smile: "They and I
We live in a room, right next to where you and the teacher live, and the teacher asked us to stay there..."
"Shut up!" The female knight couldn't bear it anymore and almost drew her sword again: "Teacher doesn't have students like you!"
"You can't go back on your promise easily, right?"
"you!"
Fortunately, the room was not far away, so the female knight was able to avoid getting angry again and again.
The room for the knights is on the ground, but it is obviously not exquisite. There are four beds in one room. The beds are covered with simple woven hay. It can be seen that they are newly replaced and exude the fragrance of straw. In the late summer weather,
It was enough. But it was still too simple for the knights. The two knights frowned from the moment they entered the room. On the other hand, the guy who called himself Edward lay directly on it and stretched his body, half-squinting his eyes with satisfaction.
.
Country people are really best suited to rural places.
The two knights made no secret of their disdain for this behavior, and the younger one even taunted: "Your Majesty, Master, I am wronging you to live in a place like this."
It's a pity that someone didn't feel this level of ridicule at all. He just sighed a little: "Master, that's great... Over there in the northwest, you can't come up with any elegant names. There's almost one named Edward in every village.
Yes, there may be several more. Because it is said that this name can protect wealth, many people call it this. But this is good, it will be very honorable to be called this name in the future."
The two knights could do nothing about such vulgar thoughts and simply remained silent. But this man named Edward never understood the atmosphere: "Teacher, what are they planning? Is there another nobleman who is going to be unlucky?"
?Confiscating homes and exterminating clans? Because they were afraid of being discovered, so they secretly mobilized manpower from other places?"
"You shouldn't know, you'd better not ask." The two knights looked at each other, wary at the same time.
"That's right. You don't know either."
"Asshole, who says we don't know, we are here to save people..."
"shut up!"
The young knight's angry words were interrupted by the woman's voice. Tahiti stepped from the door to the bed in two steps. She picked up the guy's collar and looked into his eyes: "Don't think that you can escape the magic detection.
You can explore the secrets, and if you have any evil intentions, let me find out. I will cut off your head immediately!"
"Secrets... What's the use of a few knights keeping so many secrets?"
Regarding the anger on the pretty face so close to me, someone just shook his head: "Listen to those stories in the tavern, aren't all knights supposed to be upright? Even if they want to kill someone, they have to declare a challenge in front of their face and use gloves.
Slap each other in the face, and then kill each other with a spear... Are you secretly like this, or are you meeting underground and planning. Naturally, it seems that you can't see the light... Or maybe he doesn't think much of your ability to keep secrets?"
The female knight was speechless again.
She angrily shook off the guy, feeling a bit of sadness in her heart - she herself didn't like this sneaky style, but what the respected teacher did must have some deep meaning. But judging from the development of the situation in front of her,
By no means optimistic - the scale of this settlement is already so large, with underground floors and even a farm as a disguise. There are not many things that require such covert operations, and the matter involves the Golden Jinhua Knights...
Assassination or rebellion?
Two terrifying associations surfaced and then dissipated - there is no possibility of rebellion in Illyria now. Jin Jinhua and especially the Thunder Red Dragon have guarded the entire city extremely tightly. As for assassination... knights who can only fight on horseback use
To carry out assassination is even more foolish.
Her emotions were so chaotic that she didn't notice at all that the man lying on the bed squinted his eyes, and his black pupils had already lit up with two mysterious silver points.
It's a bit disappointing.
This group of people seems mysterious, but in fact they are just the lowest level of the people. Even the two priests and mages responsible for interrogating are not at the core, and they don't know much. What these few claim to know - in fact, they are all vague.
It seems that the person who really gives the orders has not yet arrived, and the old knight who is most likely to know some inside information is more defensive and tough, and it will take a lot of strength to reveal the inside information.
Just like the so-called 'Edward Snowden', this body is just an illusory shadow. Although it avoids more trouble caused by too powerful power, it can do even less things...
However, the connections that are not buried deeply can still be clarified.
Unlike mages, knights are becoming more and more valuable. For warriors, youth is their capital, and the peak of human physical strength is only twenty or thirty years, and the golden period is halved, so if you haven't realized it before the age of thirty-five,
When you reach the edge of the so-called rules, generally speaking, you are hopeless for life, unless you encounter some great luck later, such as getting a shower of dragon blood or something like that in the legend.
After the age of fifty, no matter how hard one exercises, one's physical strength cannot stop the natural law of continuous decline. In addition, knights often accumulate old injuries. If an old knight of this age is not specialized in command ability, he usually can only
He chose to return to his own territory to retire. And now, what can he do if he transfers an old guy who has obviously reached his old age back to Illyria?
His most specialized job, right?
Although there were not many people involved in the 'interrogation' this time, only twenty or thirty, it was enough for Edward to notice the outstanding abilities of this group of knights - except for the three apprentices of the old knight, they were all around thirty years old.
, his body is tall and muscular, and his reflexes are also excellent. What is especially rare is his perseverance and mental toughness. Although his affinity for the magic network is not very good, if he is trained, he can do many things, such as before
, the method of using magic equipment demonstrated by the female knight.
If we infer from this aspect, the old knight was sent to this place mainly to teach this kind of thing.
Magic props and scrolls are not as convenient as spells, but they are worse than quickness. If a group of people can use them on a large scale, even if they are just common items such as fireball wands, the damage caused will be quite staggering.
