And Margaret just looked at the stick in her hand in embarrassment, and murmured in a low voice:

"If my material bag is still there..."

Seeing that the three girls seemed to be really planning to use force to resist, the men around couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, look at these three little girls, they really want to resist us!"

"Hey, these three are all beauties, they will definitely sell for a good price..."

Margaret looked angrily at the men around her, and snapped:

"Your statement is already planning to commit a crime!"

"We are all nuns favored by Saint Gillian. If you offend like this, you will be punished by God!"

Unfortunately, her words had no positive effect.

"Hey, she said they were nuns."

"That's right, such clothes, what else can they be if they are not nuns."

"Hey, I haven't tried what it's like to be a nun. Maybe we should use them to get angry first?"

"Don't be stupid, nuns must be more valuable, this kind of good goods, I can't let you ruin it!"

Obscenities gradually appeared in the mouths of the men around.

Aurora's face flushed with anger, and she shouted sharply:

"Do you think we will succumb to your threat? Look at the sword!"

She tensed her wrists and raised her arms in a precise assault movement, knocking down the nearest man in the blink of an eye.

This situation made the people present flustered for a while, but before Aurora could find a suitable breakthrough, with the sound of whistles from the crowd, two more men came out from a nearby house.

These two are not empty-handed, they are not only tall and big, but also have shining short knives in their hands.

Even though Aurora was confident in her martial arts, her complexion immediately darkened.

"Damn it, if I had my short sword..."

Serena, who held up the bamboo pole to cover Aurora, sighed helplessly.

Really, she just wanted to get in touch with her thighs, why did she have to encounter such a thing!

If you wait a few years and these two thighs grow up, these miscellaneous fish will not be a problem at all.

But now...

She immediately began to think about which one of her hole cards should be revealed.

'Should I expose my extraordinary strength, or show off my original boxing skills?Anyway, you can't use charm here, Aurora and Margaret will both notice something is wrong...'

Before she had time to make a decision, the men [%

A trace of panic flashed in Aurora's eyes.

Even if she is ignorant of the world, there are similar plots in knight novels.

But there is no knight protagonist here. If the three of them fall into the hands of these scumbags, what will happen to them...

"Fight!"

Aurora drew out his sword decisively, trying to forcefully break through.

But although her swordsmanship is good, the wooden stick in her hand is completely unsatisfactory.

Just confronting the dagger gangster, the wooden stick became two pieces. If Serena hadn't instinctively covered her, she might have been injured on the spot.

Even though Aurora was determined, she still felt that the surrounding scene became darker.

But at this dark moment, there was a shout in the air.

"You bastards, have you gotten to this point?"

Landing at the same time as the sound【}

The leading man waved the long sword in his hand as soon as he landed.

Accompanied by a burst of screams, the encirclement suddenly broke a big hole, and two wailing men lay down on the ground.

"Damn it, it's the shadow swordsman!"

The shouts of shock and anger made Serena and the others understand a little bit about the identity of the latecomers.

These three people, known as shadow swordsmen, quickly dispersed the gangsters, and then returned to them.

Only then did Serena see clearly that the three of them were obviously one master and two slaves, and even though the leader was wearing a half mask, it was enough for her to see that he was a handsome uncle in his 30s with a sharp-edged face .

If it weren't for his narrow eyes and thin lips, he would be a handsome man.

"Are you all right?"

"It's okay, thank you, if it's a step later, it's hard to say."

Aurora expressed her gratitude straightforwardly, while Margaret, who had just recovered from the shock just now, collapsed to the ground.

Serena hugged Margaret in a hurry, but she was thinking quickly.

She had felt the breath of these three guys for several minutes.

At first, she thought these people might be spies from other gangs.

But in this situation, they are obviously rangers.

But in that case, what were they waiting for just now?

Generally speaking, it's impossible for the three of them to deal with double-digit adult men...

"you are welcome."

The man replied calmly.

"We only show up in the nearby neighborhoods occasionally. Today is just your luck. Don't come here again next time. It's too unsafe."

Margaret raised her head with a pale face, and said tremblingly:

"But those spell-casting materials are really dangerous..."

"Oh?"

Only then did the man realize that Margaret had a special reason.

After asking about the situation, the man whispered to one of his followers to deal with the matter, and then smiled at them in a friendly manner.

"Okay, you've done a good job, it's just that it's a bit beyond your capabilities."

"Don't worry, we will take care of the follow-up, and no one will die because of it."

"Go back with peace of mind. If I find your material package, I will arrange for someone to send it to the church for you."

Margaret wanted to say something else, but Serena whispered something in her ear, and she nodded unwillingly.

And when the three nuns were sent back to the busy street, the man quickly disappeared into the shadow of the alley, and boarded an inconspicuous black carriage a few minutes later.

After he got into the car and sat down, and took off his equipment, another person in the car asked in a low voice:

"How about it, Your Majesty, are they the ones you are looking for?"

"Not sure yet."

The so-called His Majesty, that is, King Tempus II of Marconia, replied in a serious tone.

"They were good girls, compassionate and courageous."

"But it only shows that they are good nuns and good people, but it cannot prove their loyalty to the kingdom and to me."

"You are too impatient, Your Majesty."

The old man said with a smile.

"They must be reliable people first, and then they can become reliable subjects of the kingdom. For children, especially girls, they must be tolerant enough."

"That's not like what you'd say, Humphrey."

Tempus couldn't help showing a smile.

"As a king, all people are equal before my eyes, but they won't be treated preferentially just because they are women."

Humphrey nodded.

This is what he admires most about Tempus.

However, next, they will have a good discussion about how to use—or use these three girls.

PY today:

"Talulah, I'm still a child"

The work of the big guy, I don't need to say more, the results speak for themselves.

Chapter 21 The King's Gaze

"There are indications that the selection of the saintess in the Temple of Winds is an important part of Ercle III's attempt to integrate the power of St. Gillian's Church..."

Humphrey was in the carriage, softly recounting the compiled information from the beginning.

Tempus, on the other hand, squinted his eyes, leaned on his seat and listened quietly.

"Although it is not without obstacles, the results of this primary election should still meet the Pope's expectations."

"Perhaps it's really the goddess' blessing. The fresh blood from outside the capital really has the new atmosphere he wants."

"Aurora Wilder, her father is a knight in the western region. From the information we have learned, as the only daughter in the family, she has received a complete knight education since she was a child."

"It's not unusual, but her father, Old Wilder Knight, was known for being a maverick. If he hadn't saved many lives, he might have been deprived of his knighthood long ago."

"According to Judge Gauss's observations, she has outstanding fighting ability, she is full of courage, and she is also very sensitive to timing. If she is a boy, I believe there will be a place for her in the Knights of Dawn."

Tempus nodded slightly.

This is not different from what he just observed.

On the surface, this child is like a sharp knight's sword, straight and shining, the kind of guard a king dreams of.

As for her heart and wisdom...

Tempus believes that further observation is needed.

"...Margaret Grant, she is the eldest daughter of the Earl of Grant, and has been known for her intelligence since she was a child. She showed outstanding magical abilities in the battle of Oasis Castle, Copper Tube House An investigation was also carried out in a timely manner.”

"According to the information from the Earl's Mansion, Margaret's magic came from her childhood tutor. And, there are rumors that this teacher is actually the disguised identity of the evil mage Stephanie."

There was a hint of disdain on the corner of Tempus's mouth.

"Hey, I remember that this evil mage is the feud of the Grant family, right? In the hundreds of years of the Grant family's history, the number of Grant who died at her hands must have double digits. "

"Is such that."

Humphrey nodded.

"The evil mage Stephanie is a very vengeful character. Grant's ancestors once seriously injured her in a battle. It is said that after that she vowed to keep the Grant family alive for generations. In her shadow."

"Obviously, she walks the talk."

Tempus tapped the panel lightly with his fingers.

"Looking at it this way, it may be a question of whether she will survive to fully grow up."

"People have their own destiny."

Humphrey concluded the report with a flat aphorism, and moved on to the next one.

"Serina. Speaking of which, her origin may be the most unusual."

"Oh?"

Tempus opened his eyes.

To be honest, when he first saw those three girls, he didn't pay attention to this Serena at all.

In the whole incident, there was nothing outstanding about Serena.

Compared with Margaret's noble kindness and Aurora's unyielding courage, this child named Serena seems to be only worthy of praise for her calm mind.

And this kind of mind, in the eyes of Tempus, is not surprising.
