Transcendent Noble

Maowei Town, north of Suse Kingdom.

Knight-errant Duncan took a few followers along the long street paved with bluestone slabs. At the end of the street is a small hotel with a white sand whitewashed limestone wall nailed with a wooden signboard. Engraved with a mark of wheat ears.

Walking to the door of the hotel, Duncan took off the gold long sword hanging from his waist and handed it to a follower beside him. With his hands free, he pushed open the heavy thick wooden door alone. His followers dispersed and walked into the nearby taverns.

The Maisui Hotel only entertains Knight knight-errant, which is quite particular, only allowing knight-errant to bring in a personal chauffeur. Hotel, the rest of the followers can only rest and have fun in the surrounding taverns. But this is also much better than freelance mercenaries, those vulgar and aggressive guys can't even get in and out of this long street freely.

Knight-errant approached the bar, without having to speak for himself, the bartender quickly took out his personal oak wine glass, wiped it carefully with a white towel, and asked graciously:

"Your Excellency Duncan, or Sunoni red wine with roasted lamb shank and creamy white bread?"

He is about 13 years old, still a teenager, gray-blue eyes, golden short hair, and delicate appearance. and pretty Junya, showing white and neat teeth when smiling, respectful but not humble, showing good family education.

"I'm not hungry now, give me a glass of red fruit wine." Knight-errant said to the young bartender coldly.

In the knight-errant circle of Cattail Town, Duncan has never been very close to people. There are rumors that he has experienced brutal and bloody battles, and his heart has become cold and hard like limestone. Maybe he has been betrayed by his companions, so he easily distrusts others and is also very good at teaming up with other knight-errants.

Knight-errant is performing missions in the field. Whatever situation may be encountered, you cannot expect other knight-errants to sacrifice themselves for you and face the danger of annihilation. Even if the signal to evacuate is exhausted, Obligation to cooperate. Duncan's indifferent face all day long that no stranger should enter, only shows that he is still a novice.

The knight-errant in the wheat spike tavern soon someone took the initiative to greet him.

"Hey, Duncan, here."

With a full glass of the Sunoni red cider that is unique to Cattail Town, Duncan walked to the only table where people sat and pulled it away. Sitting down in the chair, he took a sip of the slightly sour and sweet wine, looked around the cold and cheerless hall, and said blankly: "There are a bit less people today."

More than 30 knights in Maowei Town -errant is accustomed to exchanging information at the Maisui Hotel. Usually at noon this time, except for those knight-errants, there are always a dozen people gathered in the hotel, but today, plus Duncan, there are only four knight knights in the entire hotel- errant.

A sturdy knight-errant with a bronze complexion and a sturdy body slammed into the corner of the hall, lowered his voice and said, "None of them, Phakis, have come over these two days."

In the corner of the hall, a beautiful young female musician is playing the harp, sorrow covers her eyebrows, her slender fingers stroking the strings, flowing a mournful melancholy melody.

Duncan only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze. The previous knight-errant smiled playfully, with a hint of contempt and sigh in his tone, and said:

"In ten days, the Paladin of the court will escort a group of exiled nobles in Maowei Town to Eastern Alliance. Jessica and her family are among them, and the other waitresses at the Maisui Hotel have the same fate... The guys in Fakis usually have their mouths full of honey, but now they deliberately avoid them."

The maids in Maisui Hotel are relatives of the exiled nobles. For those noble girls who have reached the age of eighteen and failed to wake up Knight bloodline, their relatives will trust the relationship and find a job for them at the Maisui Hotel, suggesting that they will have more contact with Knight knight-errant, and it is best to be pregnant with Knight. The heir of knight-errant brings new hope to the family. It's just that these young ladies still have beautiful longings for love, and they long for knight-errant lovers to never leave themselves. But this often makes them reap the cruel reality.

If you want to keep a guilty ordinary lady, you need to pay at least 8,000 goldsore to the court. Most knight-errants have a group of followers to support. They lack money but they don’t need money. woman. Moreover, the ultimate goal of knight-errant is to get a letter of recommendation from the church and become a vassal of a certain lord. If they want to integrate into the family, they must marry the noble daughter designated by the lord as their wife. If there is a guilty noble girl with him, not only his wife is unwilling, but the lord will carefully weigh the birth of the guilty noble girl and her hostility. family.

There is also a type of knight-errant, with a prominent background, noble bloodline, extraordinary strength, purely yearning for an adventurous life and going out for experience. They will not worry about wealth and status, but these people are often chased by Dame, and it is not the turn of the guilty lady to worry about it.

The relationship between the guilty lady and the knight-errant is what you want, there is no abandonment, the female musician Jessica is in love with her, and the knight-errants treat her It is hard to help, let alone condemning Fakis's bad behavior.

Everyone is working hard to get into the upper class, no one is easier than anyone.

A knight-errant with a moustache sighed and said: "The Duke of Medin of Rainbow City is recruiting a large number of refugees from the Eastern Alliance to serve as tenants of the Twilight Forest. Why should the court take the burden of the Yellow Forest? The sinful nobles are exiled to the Eastern Alliance. Wouldn’t it be okay to let them stay here?"

"Karl, are you talking about laughing?" The bronze-skinned knight-errant sneered and asked, "Do you think they Willing to accept the protection of the lord, discard the glory of the nobility, and become a humble tenant from now on? Furthermore, according to the bright new covenant, Duke Meding must pay a large amount of atonement to the court for everyone to retain the guilty nobleman. Consider how the hostile families of these people will react... the culprits are unwilling to abandon their noble status, and the lord is also impossible to spend a lot of money to keep them. They might as well go to the Eastern Alliance. At least they can keep the noble status and no longer have to face the dusk. The jackal of the forest."

"Oh, yes. Karl, is the Eastern Alliance really as you said, there is no monster?"

"...There is no monster, only Ling People are in awe of despair." Knight-errant Karl was silent for a moment, picked up the glass, took a sip of red fruit wine, and said dullly: "The boundless demon weeds split every settlement of the Eastern Alliance into islands. If the monster can't get in, you can also get out. No, life will never change. Waiting for the armed caravans to come and begging them to take you away, but this is in vain. Unless the priest allows them, they will never take you away. This requires paying a large sum to the church and the lord. Persuade money."

"This is the nobleman of the Eastern Alliance, and the ordinary person is the same. The difference is only in the price." Karl exhaled a sigh of alcohol and continued: "Bring someone out from the Eastern Alliance, it almost costs It costs 20 Kinshor. The Duke of Medin recruited more than 20,000 people from the Eastern Alliance, and Rainbow City spent at least 500,000 Kinshor."

The knight-errant with a bronze complexion nodded and said:" Ordinary nobles really don’t have the ability to cross the Devil Grass Sea..."

"Official Knights can’t go out either." Karl shook his head and said: "The Devil’s Weeds are poisonous, the insects inside are poisonous, the mice are poisonous, the frogs are poisonous, most The puddles are also poisonous... Can't find food and drinking water, Knight can't go far... Why? Natal, do you want to take an adventure in Eastern Alliance?"

knight-erra nt Natalgan laughed twice, took a sip of dum, scratched his head and asked, "I heard that Eastern Alliance does not have many monsters. As long as someone develops land there, Borui and Suse will canonize him as the lord of the kingdom. "

"I advise you to dispel this idea. "Karl shook the head with a wry smile, and explained: "The valuable lands of Eastern Alliance have owners. They are either a caravan's transportation hub or they are close to the Needham Great Swamp. Those lands that can live but are of no value are all goblins. Even if you kill all the goblins, the caravan will not visit the territory you have developed. In other words, if you leave the sanctuary of the church and enter the Devil Caohai, it is difficult to get out alive. "

Duncan interjected and asked: "Natal, why do you suddenly want to go to Eastern Alliance as a pioneer?" Is it bad here? "

The knight-errant with bronze skin laughed and said casually: "I am old and have no future, so I must always consider my followers. "

The scene was silent for a while, and the knight-errants were drinking in silence. They were all beginner knight trainees and had passed the Peak period. Those potential Knight knight-errants received Suse North The invitation letter from the lord of the realm, and they have to rely on experience and cunning to support in the dusk forest.

At this moment, the sound of the piano played by the female musician Jessica seems to be sorrowful. Desolation.

Natal drank the last drop of wine in the glass, the calloused right hand gripped the glass tightly, and said: "Since the Templar moved away from the Dusk Forest Defense Line, the Duke of Medin has increased mercenary group and knight-errant bounties, and soliciting knight knight-errant and mercenary group. Now, we have twice the reward for a task, but this kind of good day will not last long. I heard that eldest son of Duke Peter of Borui will marry Princess Lin, and Borui’s army will be stationed in the Dusk Forest Defense Line within two years. By that time, people like us will be useless. Lord Suse does not solicit us now, and will not solicit after that. They look down on us, and the lords of Dodo, Naville, Gambis, and Sasan also look down on us..."

He paused. , Looked at the middle-aged knight-errant who had never spoken, and continued: "I have discussed with Simon and three other knight-errants. First save a sum of money, and then take the followers. Eastern Alliance try one's luck...It's not good. You can be a nobleman in a small town in Eastern Alliance, with a knighthood on your head, which is a fulfillment of your original dream. "

"Hehe, then you will be conferred as princes, dukes, and marquises by several emperors, and then you will be busy giving birth to children all day long. "Knight-errant Karl laughed, shook his head and said: "When I was young, I managed to sneak out of the Eastern Alliance, and I would never go back again. In the future, I will either die in the hands of a monster, or find a small country lord and be an instructor or something for him. "

He turned his head and asked: "Duncan, you are still young. A few days ago, the guard in Cattail Town talked to you and said that he wanted to recruit you into the Mei Ding Family. Why didn't you What happened? "

Duncan said coldly: "I refused. "

"Hey, why did you give up such a good opportunity?" The Mei Ding Family is a family with a long history of one thousand years. The Ding Ding of this generation is a His Royal Highness. "Natal's eyes widened, and asked curiously and incredulously.

Can I be the same as you unowned wild dogs? Any secret warrior under me is better than you...my The owner is His Royal Highness Randal from the Kingdom of Cambes. Can Duke Meding be compared with my master?

Todd, whose alias is Duncan, sneered in his heart, his expression on his face maintained a rigid guard, indifferently said: "My knight-errant ranks too low, and I am afraid of becoming a victim of the Mei Ding Family. I should be a knight-errant freer and can choose tasks with different risks. "

Natal gave a thumbs up and praised: "A wise decision. How about it? Do you want to develop the settlement of the Eastern Alliance with us? "

"Let me refuse. "Todd said without the slightest hesitation.

What's a joke? I also sneaked out of the Eastern Alliance.

Knight-errant Karl gave a chuckle, supporting himself The oak wine glass said: "Actually, the Mei Ding Family look down upon us, but we still have two opportunities. "

"In the town of Hongguo in the northwest, a famous knight-errant-Godfrey is active. If I am not wrong, he should be a child of a certain Great Family. If we can follow him, there will be a good way out in the future. "

Natal nodded and said: "Well, I have heard of his reputation. He likes to take on the most dangerous reconnaissance missions. He often has to go deep into the dusk forest and retreat every time. But his followers are not so lucky... Of course being able to follow him is a way out, but our strength... Karl, what about another chance? "

"As far as I know, in two months, His Excellency Raymond Peter of Peter's family of Borui will visit Suse Kingdom and meet Princess Lin, and then he may represent the Kingdom of Borui until dusk The forest defense line conducts on-the-spot surveys to prepare Borui's army to enter the Dusk Forest. Cattail Town is a place he must visit. If we can present him with a detailed map of the surrounding forest, he may be attracted to him and allow us to serve for the Borui army. "

The map of knight-errant is obviously different from that of the lord and the church. It is not comprehensive enough, but more detailed. King Borui’s eldest son personally surveyed the forest defense line at dusk, just to see some differences The Borui people ran to the unfamiliar Twilight Forest to fight against the wolves. Lord Suse and the church must not be at the mercy of them. They must have their own eyes and ears. The so-called submission of the map by knight-errant Karl is actually recommending ears and ears to Lord Raymond. Although they are low-powered, they have rich experience. They are exactly the guides and eyes and ears that Borui people need.

Natal and the others are very excited, get together, and discuss how to please Peter in a low voice. The eldest son of the Grand Duke.

Todd also pretended to be enthusiastic, and kept thinking about how he could take this opportunity to plant a hidden son beside Raymond.

This At that time, the heavy wooden door of the Maisui Hotel was pushed open, and several people walked in one after another, headed by the resident priest Roche of Cattail Town.

"Natal, why are the four of you alone?" "The tall and burly Father Roach interrupted the harp's melody with a thick voice.

The knight-errants didn't dare to neglect, they got up. Natal said with a smile: "Today I don't know what's wrong, just the four of us. Lord Roche, have a task for us? "

Roach, who was a war priest, gave way to the side, showing a priest behind him, triumphantly introduced: "This is Pastor Dimick from Church... my big brother. "

Dimick’s appearance in his forties, a fine linen priest robe, four silver patterns embroidered on his shoulders, marking the identity of a Level 4 priest, this can already be used as a bishop, and then He is from Church. The knight-errants are in awe and salute.

Karl preemptively said: "Dear Pastor Dimic, what can I do for you? "

Dimic smiled and said kindly: "The team of the silver tower begged scholar to prepare to go to the dusk forest to collect some specimens of animals and plants, and increase scholar's knowledge. They need 5 experienced knight-errants to act as guides. Are you interested in accepting this commission? "

Natal seized the opportunity and respectfully said: "It is our honor to be able to serve Master Dimick. "

"Don't get me wrong. Pastor Dimic waved his hand and explained: "I am about to go to Borui Kingdom to take up my post. I just passed by Suse Kingdom and visited my brother. By the way, I will send the Baitaqi scholars to Maowei Town. For specific tasks, you have to ask the leader of the scholar. "

The youngster at the end stepped forward, gave a salute, and was self-introduced: "Hello, I am the leader of this scholar's practice, Master Edwin's dísciple, and Randal Family's Paul Randal." "

Randal Family? Randal Family’s Baita students?!

The knight-errants rushed up, and the handsome and elegant young people asked the scholar to greet him. At this moment , The famous knight-errant Godfrey, and the Lord Raymond Peter were all left behind by them.

Todd, whose alias is Duncan, is caught in it, changing from the normally indifference and solemnity, showing a rare Enthusiastic, and secretly make small gestures of mercury spy contact. After the two people meet, they have determined each other’s identities.

*****************

At night, on the third floor of the Maisui Hotel, Todd looked at Paul Randal and sent the last knight-errant out of the room, confirming that the knight-errant went down to the first floor, and then knocked it on. The door said in a respectful voice: "Your Excellency Paul, this is some information I personally collected, please have a look. "

"Your Excellency Duncan, you have a lot of handwritten information. Please allow me to take a look first, and then listen to your opinions. "

Paul took the stack of sheepskin scrolls in Todd's hand, closed the door, and beckoned Todd to enter the study, turning the scrolls, and said with his lips:

"Barrow Master Er is my spy mentor, Lord Nelson is my adoptive father, and His Royal Highness Randal is my master. "

Todd pupil shrink zoomed in again, and said silently: "The master asked me that no matter whether the task of placing the case was completed or not, I must return to him in four months. Are you here to replace me? "

Paul squirmed his lips and replied: "No, I'm here to assist you... Compared to being a spy, I prefer to be a scholar. The master agreed to me, this mission is over, and I have nothing to do with Mercury anymore. As for your future in Mercury, I can't let my beak...Master Todd, the master specifically confessed to me that you have ignited the fire of your soul, and your safety is higher than this mission itself. "

Todd relaxed and said: "Don't worry, the master will also explain to me to ensure the privacy and safety of the helper. "

Paul slightly smiled, turning the sheepskin scroll, and said: "The mission has a new content. Try to put an eye on the Eastern Alliance and cultivate power... It seems that this is not difficult. In fact, there are several knight-errants who actually want to go to the Eastern Alliance to open up settlements. "

"I sent someone to induce them. "Todd nodded, frowned and asked: "But in response to Raymond Peter's actions, I can't do anything about it. "

"My lord, that's because you don't know enough information. Paul continued: "The famous knight-errant Godfrey active in the Twilight Forest is actually the bloodline of the Augustus family, the eldest grandson of Ludwig's palace minister. "

Todd thought for a moment, then asked: "And then. "

"Raymond Peter assassinated his fiancee Shirley, but didn't receive the punishment he deserved. He has been unable to dispel the resentment in his heart, and then he left the Ludwig family, aliased Godfrey, and became a knight-errant. Perhaps he wanted to heal his heart disease by abandoning his family identity... Peter's little boy killed his beloved woman. As a direct heir of the Ludwig family, he could not get justice for his fiancee, family identity. Bringing him an unwashable shame, how can he stick to his own way of Knight? From what he looked like, he wouldn't return to the Ludwig family unless he erected a new road. "

Todd's eyes gradually brightened, and said: "You want to induce Godfrey to assassinate Raymond, and then design, find someone to rescue Raymond, in exchange for his trust... What about the dark candidate? "

Paul curled his mouth and said, "It's also your old acquaintance... The former sheriff of Stonetred City, Knight Valmon, the exile of the Dwymick family. "

"Wamon? hehe, he is indeed a good candidate. Todd laughed silently, then frowned and asked, "What if Godfrey really kills Raymond?" "

Paul smiled gracefully, his eyes were cold, and said, "Then kill him... Peter's little boy, once sent someone to assassinate Master Randal. "

Todd lowered his head, and a cruel crack appeared at the corner of his mouth, exposing Bai Sensen's teeth.

"Understood...I will do my best. "
