Chapter 2 Eleven Evely and Roy

Although Knight Commander Roy was secretly happy about the bad fate of Henry, the manor owner, as a noble knight, he still offered suggestions to his master with hope.

Fortunately, he got his master's approval and was able to lead his knights to carry out the rescue.

Currently, most of the refugees who escaped from Henry Manor are here, and the temporary camp they set up has become extremely crowded and noisy.The most noisy and disturbing one was "Henry XII".

"You! It's you! Why don't you get down and use it as a chair for me!" Henry Pilger arrogantly shouted to this relatively strong young man: "What about you! You damn slave, Don’t you have ears?”

The young man was irritated by this rebuke. He tremblingly walked to Henry's side and knelt down on all fours without any intention of resisting.

"Ha! It's much more comfortable. There isn't even a comfortable chair in this shabby camp. You really deserve to be a member of the Graham family." Henry said to himself in the air with a half-smile, but when he spoke, his eyes Obviously floating to the side of Knight Commander Roy.

A young and energetic knight standing next to Roy turned his head and glared at Henry, then turned his head and whispered to Roy: "Knight Commander! Do we really want to leave this guy in the camp?"

Roy sighed, nodded and said, "This is your wish. Although I don't want to keep him, but...hey."

"Tsk, this guy should be burned to death." Another knight also said something to Henry. He lowered his head and muttered a few words, and then got a bang from Roy on the back of his head.

Roy said to him: "Don't talk nonsense. If he hears it, you will get into a lot of trouble."

The two young knights giggled for a while, and then continued to complete their characters.They thought that no third party would hear this small conversation, but in fact, Alice and the other three heard every word of their words.

Alice and her companions were standing not far from Knight Commander Roy. They originally planned to talk to Roy when he was free, but they did not expect to get such interesting information.

The knights generally had a bad impression of Henry, the owner of the manor, but even those who met Henry for the first time would probably have a bad impression of him.

Apart from his appearance, his tone of voice, actions when speaking, and even the aura emanating from his body all tell that this person is not a good person.There must be very few people who can tolerate Henry except those who have ulterior motives or share the same odor...

"He seems to be free. Should we go talk to him now?" Alice stood there nervously and looked around.She saw Roy packing up the map on the table and looking like he was about to leave the table.

This is a good opportunity to strike up a conversation.

"No, don't go there yet. Wait a minute, someone seems to be coming to find him." As he said that, Weisian motioned to his companions to step back.The reason he did this was because he saw a familiar person walking in the direction of Knight Commander Roy.

It was the woman who had guided them in the direction before. This woman with long brown hair walked up to Roy and spoke to him in an extremely intimate tone.

Alice and her party, who were standing not far away, heard this conversation:

"Ah! Ephraim! Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?" Roy immediately dropped the things in his hands and turned around to face the "Everle" in his mouth.

Ms. Everly, the brown-haired woman, shook her head and replied: "I can't calm down. My brother, he left so suddenly, which made my heart bleed. Once I calm down, I could hear him calling me for help."

There was a deep sadness in Evely's tone, which cast a shadow over the hearts of those who listened to her.

Suddenly, a firm but not warm embrace fell on her.She raised her head and looked up in surprise, but the man holding him quickly pulled away after a moment.

Roy was also startled by his subconscious actions. He turned around suddenly and opened the map in a panic, pretending like "nothing happened".

His face was a little red, his heart was beating wildly, and the inside of the thick armor was filled with the sound of his unusual heartbeat.This made him more and more embarrassed, and he even began to recite the code of chivalry, hoping to calm himself down.

After thinking about it carefully, Evely's cheeks were also stained with some blush.Her hands were tangled in holding the hem of her clothes, her eyes wandering as she didn't know where to put them.

She wanted to see Roy, but every time she touched his back, she would move in another direction as if being burned by fire.

It was better for her not to move her sight. Once she moved, Alice and her group standing not far away broke into her field of vision.

Avril still remembered Vishian, who was somewhat similar to his brother, and also remembered the two companions following him.

"Hey! You are here too! Great, you are all okay!"

When Roy heard Avelay calling out like this, he turned around and followed Avelay's line of sight.

The three people who were suddenly called were shocked. Their whereabouts were exposed, and they could no longer hide aside and quietly collect information.

"What should we do? Should we go there?" Alice asked the two people around her.She took Caschia's advice to heart and was greatly confused by the situation.

If you walk past, it will definitely leave an impression on people in the past. This violates the principle of time and will cause disaster.

Wei Xi'an didn't pay too much attention. He replied easily: "I see...she has memories of us anyway. Why don't we just walk over openly, talk to her, and get some information out of her?" Come."

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with that. You're too cautious. The future is so easy to change."

Visian interrupted Caschia's words with a strong attitude. His face became serious, and then returned to his original smiling expression within three seconds.

Caschia helplessly covered his forehead. He thought seriously about Vician's words. He said: "No one knows what will happen. Even if it is just a hypothesis, we must keep it in mind."

"Don't forget this... forget it, you have already made your decision anyway, right?" He shook his head and reluctantly agreed with his companions' behavior.

To be honest, he didn't know whether the future would change because of this, and whether that change would be good or bad.

—TBC—

Chapter 2: Telling lies with open eyes

"But even though I agreed, if anything happens in the future, you have to take responsibility." Caschia said to Vician in a low voice.

Vician winked at him playfully, and then took the lead in walking in the direction of Evely.Alice looked at Caschia and followed him.

On the other side, Evely saw them whispering.But she didn't have much doubts about this. In her eyes, Alice's entanglement was normal.

People living around here are still very afraid of the existence of knights, and there happened to be such a knight standing next to her.

So when Visian came to her with his two companions, the first thing she said was to reassure them in a gentle tone that they didn't need to be afraid of Roy.

"This is the knight I told you about at that time. His name is Roy. He is a very gentle and powerful man. You don't have to be afraid of him." Evely looked at Alice and the group and introduced Roy in a brisk tone. Yi.

Aveline's words of introduction, which were similar to compliments and praises, floated in Roy's ears, which made him stand up straight involuntarily, his face tensed for fear of showing a happy giggle.

"Roy? Roy? Are you saying hello to them too...?" Evely checked her body and asked Roy doubtfully.After she had just introduced him, she found that her old friend, whom she had not seen for a long time, was standing there as if he was stupid. No matter how she called him, he remained silent.

"Ah...? Ah! Oh!" Roy finally came to his senses from the shock. He put his right hand on his left chest, bowed slightly and saluted and said: "I am a knight sent by Mr. Graham. My name is Roy. E. Norton. Are you from...?"

Having said this, Roy could be said to have looked directly at Alice and her party for the first time.Alice and her party were wearing original clothes. Although the materials used in their clothes were common in their time, in this time period, they were extremely rare fabrics.

Usually only manor owners and nobles can afford the price of this kind of fabric.Roy quickly glanced at Alice and his party, and then he was surprised to find that the three people in front of him seemed to have experienced a large-scale battle.

In fact, the dust, stains, and wounds on their bodies were all caused in the underwater maze. The scale of those battles was neither large nor small.

"We escaped from the west. With some talents, we were able to escape from the battle." Visian noticed the abnormality in Roy's expression.In order to seize the opportunity, he continued: "Speaking of which, we are lucky. We did not encounter any strong enemies. Otherwise, we would have died in their hands."

Visian deliberately obscured the information revealed in his words, because only in this way can it be misleading.

Where specifically in the West?What are their talents?What are the enemies you encounter?

Visian did not explain any of these directly, and through the reactions of the people he listened to, he was able to make some changes accordingly.For example, what Knight Commander Roy asked them now: "West? Is it the side by the sea?"

Vishian nodded, indicating that they were indeed from there.

"I see, no wonder you are all wet." Roy seemed to understand something. He smiled, extended his hand to Vishian, and said, "Welcome to Coria, my friend. But it's not a good place here either. Where to go, there’s been a war everywhere lately, isn’t there?”

"Are they all at war?"

Everyone keenly captured this news from Roy's words, and Alice and Caschia relied on this to start searching the history database in their minds.While they were thinking hard, Vician continued to guide the conversation.

"Isn't it? I wanted to be a leisurely traveler, but I didn't expect... Hey, I don't know what is happening to our hometown now." Wei Xi'an sighed sadly, but secretly, he I'm thinking about making my lies more truthful.

"Traveller?" Roy murmured, looking confused again.

Vesian was startled, and he began to reflect on whether he should not give them the title "Traveler".But after a moment, Roy's eyebrows relaxed. He scratched his hair and said apologetically: "Hahaha, no, it's nothing. Please don't take it too seriously, I'm just a little weird."

"Hmm...are we weird?" Wei Xi'an asked doubtfully.He became somewhat interested in this and wanted to know how they existed in each other's eyes.

Roy didn't hesitate and answered openly. He replied: "I think you seem to be of noble birth and are not relatives of a noble family, so you should be someone related to this. But I didn't expect you to be... …Traveler?”

Visian reacted instantly after hearing this. He glanced at Roy's armor from the corner of his eye.That set of armor was considered a cheap commodity in Les Peno. The workmanship was a bit rough, and the color was also a bit dull.But not only Roy was wearing this kind of armor, but the knights nearby were also wearing the same armor.

In other words, is this kind of armor that is not considered good the mainstream now?

Visian did not dare to make a conclusion immediately, and then after a short silence, he said to Roy in a mysterious tone: "It turns out that you have discovered it. In this case...then the Lord Knight still needs to answer me. What he said when he came down was tight-lipped.”

Perhaps it was because Wei Xi'an's tone changed so suddenly that Roy was caught off guard, but he calmed down quickly.He first asked Evely to take a rest, and then faced Visian, waiting for the other person's next topic.

"Did you see that young girl? She is our mission this time. Someone hired us to pretend to be her companions and take her to a safe place." Vician turned his head and looked at Alice , and Alice waved to them.

"Her identity is quite special, and she can do magic, so we can only visit various areas in the name of travelers and try to find a suitable place."

"She is...that's why her father hired us."

"As for the clothes we wear, they are naturally part of the mission reward. To be honest, I'm still a little uncomfortable with being dressed like this..."

Vesian told lies one after another, and under his sweet words, Roy accepted this setting very naturally.

"I see, this is indeed a very sensitive identity..." Roy couldn't help but lower his voice when he spoke. He promised: "Since you and your companions are not suspicious people, then we will continue as usual. welcome."

Chapter 2 Thirteen The Essence of the Conversation

Knight Commander Roy made a promise. He said that as long as Alice and her party were not people with ulterior motives, then this temporary camp would welcome them.

And this was exactly what Weisian needed. He continued to say this to Roy seemingly sincerely, but in his heart he was quietly distracted.

He got a lot of information from the conversation with Roy, including that the continent was currently in a dispute stage, that the western continent was being flooded, and that the incoming enemies were elves from the opposite continent.

Although this information is fragmented, it is enough for Wei Xi'an to analyze the situation.

"There is no doubt that we are now stepping on the land of the past, and it is very likely that we will be involved in an unprecedented war." Vician, who was temporarily separated from Knight Commander Roy, said this to him What the companions said: "It's a war between various races. When it comes to this, you should all understand it, right?"

"Are you saying that we have come to the period of the 'Great Catastrophe'? That war that happened nearly 200 years ago!?" Alice replied without thinking, and the historical documents she had read before were flowing from her mind one after another. passed through.

In addition, Caschia seems to agree with the "time of great tribulation" statement.He is also a historian. After all, during the period of self-isolation, only books remained with him.

Therefore, he knew more than Alice, and had a broader perspective when analyzing things. He speculated: "Our current location...should be near the junction of Xios and Elani, but this In this era, the two continents were connected, with no ocean in between.”

"That is to say..." Alice thought about Caschia's words, she whispered for a while, and then an answer suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.She said in disbelief: "Aren't we still in the Black Sea?"

That's the truth, isn't it interesting?What was originally thought to be the sea was actually land 200 years ago. This makes people wonder what changes the tsunami brought to the world during this time period.

But curiosity is curiosity, Alice and her party have now become a part of the continent, and what they need to do before returning to the future has not changed.

Exploring information, gaining trust, and returning to the future alive...

These things are still at the top of the list, and now they plan to take the first step in the real sense: continue to collect intelligence.

Exploring information sounds simple, but in practice it is very complicated. The difficulty of this task can already be seen in the selection of targets.

"We can't ask the serfs for information. They live in the manor all their lives. From birth to death, no one knows what the world outside the manor is like." Wei Xi'an shook his head and continued: "If you want me to say it, it's better to find love. Just ask Ms. Frye or the knights."

After listening to Vician's words, Alice opened her eyes wide and looked for the figures of the mentioned people in the camp.Ms. Everly was talking to Roy again. They seemed to be in the middle of a conversation and it was hard to disturb them.

As for the knights, we have to mention Henry XII, who can almost be said to be a "landmine in the conversation world".

The poor knights were captured by Henry to do that before they even had time to rest.One of them was even asked to go to the forest to catch wild birds. This was simply unreasonable!Have you ever seen that knight wearing heavy armor and holding a long sword who can catch birds flying in the sky?
