"I heard...well, maybe...it's nothing." Jonathan hesitated and didn't ask.
"There are many misunderstandings in the world, but we don't mind." Elliot smiled heartily and stroked the unicorn's snow-white mane.
"We are a race drifting across the entire continent. The beautiful human love is something we have protected from generation to generation and is the only value of our existence. We do not take the initiative or plunder. We love the sun. Each Knight of the Rose only has three silver roses.
, to achieve three immortal loves. In order to protect love, he will not hesitate to let the sword be stained with blood." The knight polished the coat of arms on his chest with a blood-colored cloak.
"Why do you keep referring to yourself as 'we'?" Jonah asked the question he was holding in his heart.
"Me." Elliot pointed with his index finger at his heart behind the armor.
"Me." He pointed to the unicorn under his crotch. The rider gently turned back and scratched the knight's palm with its sharp horn.
"Me." Elliot pointed back again, and Jonah noticed that the knight's lower body was covered by a hanging silver armor. A small white translucent ball emerged from the gap between the armor and the cloak.
Blinking his bright eyes, he looked towards Jonah.
"We." The knight drew a circle, enclosing himself, the unicorn and the little thing, "Trinity."
"Elf?" Jonah's eyes widened and he wanted to reach out to touch it. The unicorn blew a hot breath on his face from its nostrils.
"Yes, I have no legs, the unicorn has no hands, and the elf has no body. The beast and I communicate through the soul language of the elf. From the moment we were put on the altar when we were born, and we chose to become one, we can no longer
separate.
We are the knights of the rose Elliot. Castlefield is the name of our family, and it is also the name of our fiefdom many generations ago. Before being exiled, Castlefield's territory included the entire red soil plateau. In a sense,
Say, we are the real kings of the St. Bollen Empire."
The knight said calmly, then smiled brightly: "But now, we only care about pure love, Mr. Astrologer, I don't know why you came to Cherry Crossing, but we are here to guard the second silver rose in bloom. I hope that when the rose blooms,
, you can witness the unparalleled beauty together.”
Jonah was stunned and didn't know what to say.
The elegant knight sat on the back of the unicorn and said with a smile: "The head of the house is back."
The head of the house surprised Jonah again.
This burly man was two sizes bigger than the strongest man Jonah had ever seen in his seventeen years of life. He stood almost as tall as Elliot who was riding him. His arms were ridiculously thick, and his muscles were like granite.
like texture.
The big man wore a shabby gray cloth shirt, linen trousers, and muddy leather boots. He had a bald head, a braided round hat, a shaggy beard, and a silver ring around his thick neck. - "Western
"The Geographic Survey of the Continent" mentioned that the silver ring is the traditional dress of the residents of the Bazeral Mountains - the silver ring can be taken off and used as a belt for Jonah.
"Hello, I am J. Jonah II, apprentice astrologer." Jonah said respectfully.
"Hello, distinguished astrologer, I am very happy to be your roommate." The big man squatted down, blushed, rubbed his hands nervously, and looked at the second button of Jonah's shirt.
, said nervously.
Suddenly he realized something, grabbed his small round hat, rubbed it in his hands, and said loudly: "I'm sorry! I'm rude again. I am Tuoba, a farmer from Mushroom Township, Dongshan County, Bazeral Kingdom. Because I am a sinner, the noble master banned me.
Use the family's last name, so just a first name, no last name."
"I'm just an apprentice...Toba." Yona rubbed his brows and said distressedly.
"Your magnanimity shocked me! Toba means feather. My mother - may she sleep peacefully in Sheila's arms - hoped that I would be a light and beautiful young man, but as a result, I grew bigger and bigger.
Later, she beat people to death, committed crimes, and became a bad person. If she were still alive, she would be blinded by crying." The head of the room showed a depressed expression, then smiled shyly: "I have never seen anything like this in my life.
Meeting the distinguished astrologer, being able to fight side by side with you last night is the greatest honor in my life. When I have children and grandchildren, I hope to use your name as their surname to commemorate you and me from generation to generation.
This is a precious memory."
"The room chief is a gentle man." Rose Knight snickered from the side.
"I'm just an apprentice..." Jonah simply closed his eyes and mentally tried to balance the gap between the majestic and powerful chief and the meek and humble farmer. This was not necessarily easier than adjusting the angle of the star line.
"Wait a minute, you said we fought side by side last night?" He suddenly realized.
Toba patted his forehead excitedly: "Yes, sir! Last night you stood on dad's roof and summoned the power of the stars to light up the whole town. It was so spectacular! They went on a mission and didn't see it. I was the only one who saw it.
I went to worship the miracle alone, and my father secretly told me that you live in room A51, sir. I was so happy that I was shocked! In the middle of the night, after the moon set, someone wanted to sneak up on you. Under the brilliance of your astrology, I
I feel like my whole body is full of power, and I can knock the bad guy away with one punch!"
Jonah stared at the staff in his hand. The staff given to him by Teacher Keshava was inlaid with low-quality red crystal and engraved with a simple star array.
So, the devil stood on the roof of "Dad" last night and drove the lighting array to illuminate Cherry Crossing? If you guessed correctly, "Dad" is the owner of this town, and lighting is part of some kind of contract. This
This contract constitutes the rental relationship of the "hotel". Jonah thought quickly in his mind.
"Yes, you are very strong, and we had a great chat last night." He mentioned vaguely.
"No, I didn't have a chance to talk to you yesterday. You went back to the house and rested when the morning star appeared."
"Oh, of course."
"Just now Eli (Elliot's nickname) told me that Emperor Yelizawetan had taken action against the five major guilds?" Toba suddenly said seriously.
Jonah instinctively felt danger. He calmly clenched his cane and tried to figure out the psychology of the farmers in Bazelar.
He is still too young. In addition to his strength, the "Joint Amnesty Decree" is the biggest weight for members of the five major guilds to walk in the world. Cherry Crossing obviously does not know the behavior of the tyrant. His unintentional words to Elliot are tantamount to
Peel off the armor on your body to reveal your weak core.
With a calmness that was unbecoming of a seventeen-year-old boy, he said calmly: "Yes, I heard that many weak members and priests of the Mathematical Society were killed by tyrants. My mentor, the seventh-level astrologer Keshava, sent
I went to the Kingdom of Bazelal to establish contact with the Astrologers Association that moved south, but there was something wrong with my steam puppet aircraft, so I came to Cherry Crossing."
Jonah deliberately pronounced the words "without strength", "seventh-level astrologer", "astrologer association" and "steam puppet aircraft" with accents, trying to build an image in Toba's heart that was strong enough to protect himself.
.
But the head of the room didn't pay attention at all. He stretched out his broad and thick hands like bear paws, hugged Jonah's shoulders, shook them twice, and said loudly: "You have been frightened all the way! Although there is no king's law here, it is better than
It's much safer outside. With dad here, you can rest assured and have a good sleep! Although you have a noble status, you are young, how can you come out and suffer like this? Let me take care of you next!"
Jonah was taken aback.
Toba's eyes sparkled with pure tears.
"The Kingdom of Bazeral in the south of St. Bollen has been captured by the Dragon Cavalry. Now the entire western continent is covered with the troops of the Zavi Empire. Statues of Lazi, the god of war and blacksmiths, are erected everywhere. I heard that the Five Elements
The liaison offices have all moved to the north. In the north, near the Holy River, the Ebenezer Republic is still resisting. It is the last independent regime in the Western Continent. Of course, except for the areas where ethnic minorities gather, the Zawi Empire will be wiped out.
Cherry Crossing not only has to face a head-on conflict with the people of Colombo, but also challenges the undefeated legend of 'Dad'. Even the tyrant himself and the blood knights under him have to weigh it carefully." Elliot explained from the side.
"The chief is a good man." He added, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Jonah."
The Rose Knight obviously noticed his wariness, and Jonah couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He stretched out his left hand from Toba's palm with difficulty, patted the back of the big man's hand - it really felt like a rock - and said: "Toba, thank you, I will stay here for a while, please take care of me."
Already."
The bearded farmer trembled when he heard this. He immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Master Astrologer, do you want to accept me as a retainer knight? This will be the glory of my generation."
Jonah looked confused and asked: "What knight?"
"The "Continental Code" stipulates that formal members of the five major guilds have the same rights as hereditary nobles. They can recruit knights and soldiers not exceeding their level without application. If you are a third-level astrologer apprentice..."
Liott spoke.
"Level 4." Jonah said. He suddenly remembered that his apprentice badge of four pale blue star flowers had been put in his deerskin pocket before leaving, and now it was nowhere to be found.
"Okay, level three to level five astrologer apprentices can have one retinue knight and fifteen soldiers. If they notify the association, they will receive a certain equipment subsidy.
There was a debate on this article when the Twelve Councilors revised the Continental Code a few years ago. Some people were afraid that the five major guilds would build up powerful armed forces in turn. But as you know, the heads of the five major guilds, except for the Pope of the Anglican Church,
All of them are members of the twelve council members, and four of the twelve seats are an overwhelming advantage.
To sum it up, Sir Jonah, if you put your sword on the shoulder of the room chief and pat it three times, and the room chief says an oath, you can make Lord Toba, who has read too many knight novels, become your loyal retainer knight. We will not
Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, you can decide for yourself." Rose Knight said with a slight smile.
Jonah looked at Toba, who was half-kneeling on the ground and still a head taller than him, and rubbed the back of his head in distress: "Can you wait until I finish lunch before deciding?"
Before the head of the room could speak, a female voice sounded: "That's right, uncle, you can have a seizure after you've eaten enough." Yona turned around and saw several figures appearing next to the stone house.
