In response, Perris smiled and beckoned to the knights, who immediately responded with an even louder cheer as they climbed down from their horses and saluted the crown prince in the valley, taking off their helmets and revealing their young faces.

"Long live the Empire! Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Of course, this is all a scenario in Perris's imagination. The members of the Rainbow Knights were all high-eyed, and after seeing the crown prince in the valley, they just grabbed the reins on their horses, and then pulled their swords from their waists, which was regarded as a military salute to Perris.

Despite this, looking at the silver glittering scene under the valley, Perris still felt inexplicably panicked from the bottom of his heart, he forced himself to ride steadily on the back of the horse, and waved his hand at the knights, and when he completed this series of movements, his limbs were stiff, almost ugly, which caused the knights below to let out a sneer.

Perris felt that he had lost face, so he simply tugged at the reins of his horse and prepared to turn and leave the place.

At the bottom of the mountain, a knight wearing a blue and white seal noticed the crown prince's whereabouts, and he quickly climbed onto the back of a white steed, and then galloped up from the bottom of the valley. Immediately after reaching Perris, the knight turned over and dismounted, tied his precious steed to a mountain tree, and graciously took the reins for Perris.

The knight took off his helmet, revealing his short hair.

"Your Highness, the Rainbow Knights are always under your review, our hunting has just begun, why did you just come and leave?"

Perris looked at this knight who was leading the horse for himself, and his heart was relieved, but his mouth was unforgiving, and his immature face was stiff, just like the way he looked when he talked to Tian Sen just now.

"Knight, I won't spoil your interest, besides, the hunt is over, isn't it?You were so heroic just now, there is no more valiant warrior in the entire Great Pruss Empire. ”

After listening to the crown prince's words, the knight An Neng couldn't understand the deep meaning of the crown prince's words, so he hurriedly lowered his head and apologized again and again: "Those hairy leaders have a lot of problems, so I still have to ask noble people like you to teach a little more so that they can understand the rules." ”

The young man on the horse nodded with satisfaction, and his tone softened. "Sword, you're not going to be angry. You are all honorary knights, and even the Emperor of the Empire cannot reprimand you at will if you have not made a mistake. Why, what are you looking for me to do this time?"

A look of yearning cast on Knight Ward's face, he stretched out a hand, as if to caress the cool evening breeze, and he said with a tone of regret: "The brethren of the Order consider themselves to be first-rate in their skills, but the harvest of hunting is not very rich. ”

Perris was aware of the situation, and before he was about to open his mouth to answer Sword's question, his mind recalled his father's profound expression when he was discussing with the minister, and he frowned as his father did, and after about five or six seconds of pause, he spoke

"For your stuff, I already know it completely. His gaze slowly shifted from the distant edge to Sword, and after looking him in the eye for more than three seconds, he painted as much of a vicissitudes as possible in his childish voice. "Sword, the royal hunting grounds have been built for more than ten years, and although we will have the habit of changing the hunting grounds in different seasons, even then the number of prey will inevitably decline. I can understand how you, and the warriors of your Order, want to hunt, but even Sardinia can't change the habit of those prey breeding, you have to adapt to them. ”

Ward's face was a little puzzled at first, and then deliberately depicted a little panic. "Your Highness, of course I have no intention of rebelling against Satin, but the boys of the Knights have really not had a decent prey for a long time, and just in the back mountain separated by a wall, there are a large number of wild things, Your Highness............ If we're lucky, we might even catch a bear with you. ”

"A bear, like it hangs on the wall of the palace?" Perris immediately became interested when he heard the news of the bear, and although he had been in the hunting ground for a year or two, he had really never seen a creature like a bear, and he could not care about being reserved, and the curiosity of the young man prevailed.

"I hear that bears are creatures as high as two horses stacked on top of each other, and they live in the woods, and they like to hunt down lonely hunters, and even a valiant knight is often unable to face a full-grown bear. Can we really meet it?"

Sword smiled awkwardly, he wiped the cold sweat from his face, and said, "Your Highness, as far as I know, it is difficult for us to encounter such a big bear, and they usually do not take the initiative to hunt lone hunters, but more often than not, they are just defending their territory. ”

"Like our knights?"

"It's an interesting analogy, I've never thought so much of their direct relationship with knights. Although Sword responded to Perris's words with a smile, there was a bit of a fierce aura in the corner of his eye, he had never thought of comparing the knight and the bear together, it was simply an insult.

Perris did not notice this, but instead smiled proudly, as if he were receiving the knight's compliment.

"You've seen bears, have you ever defeated them?"

Sword slowly stretched out three fingers, "Three, Your Highness." There are a lot of grizzly bears in the deep forests of my hometown, and they live in some corners of the forest, and the villagers in the vicinity can mark their general location, and they even name the animals. When I was your age, the servants of the family used to take me on patrol of the family territory, and we were going along a safe route, but a grizzly bear of the Tyrant crossed the line, and it ambushed me on our patrol and lifted me off my horse. I nearly lost my life, but my father, the Duke of Malta, drove the grizzly bear away with a troop of men, but he ordered it not to be shot. ”

"Why?"

"He wanted me to kill the bear with my own hands as part of my coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"So...... Did you take your attendants with you for revenge at the rite of passage?"

"No, in the winter when I was sixteen years old, I went into that forest alone, and it was really cold, and the snow was three feet thick. I had planned to give the dog a sword while it hibernated, and you should know that the bear thing lives alone, and it stands to reason that I have a good chance of success. But I didn't expect that guy to live with his wife in the wilderness, and there was another ......"

As he reached this point, there was a sudden pause. He smiled a little grimly: "I won't go into detail with you about the process of slaughtering the bear, I don't think that as a knight, the process of killing two beasts is not something to boast about at all." ”

"Hmm...... I wanted to let the bear go, but it gave it to me, and it couldn't help it, I was bleeding. In order not to freeze to death in the snow, I had to peel off its fur and wear it on my body to keep warm. ”

After listening to Ward's words, Perris only felt that the hairs on his body were about to stand up, and he looked at the man who led the horse for him, a little inexplicably flustered, but at the same time, there was a little envy intertwined with his Zheng

Isn't that what a hero should achieve?

"Well, that's going to be a funny story, and when you come home wearing a bearskin, you're going to get a lot of praise. Perris tried to make an assessment, swallowing a few times before continuing

"You are a warrior, a brave man, and you will definitely achieve a lot. ”

Sword's eyes flickered several times, and the corners of his mouth twitched reluctantly, trying to make a smile, but he found that the muscles on his face seemed to be disobedient, and he couldn't adjust a "suitable" arc, so he had to cover his face with his empty left hand to hide his embarrassment.

Fortunately, Perris was no longer focused on him, and he looked up at the mountains in the distance, and for the first time he felt a mysterious power in the mountains at sunset, as if something was calling him.

By this time, Sword had led Perris's horse back to the top of the valley, and his face had returned to normal, and the knights under the mountain saw their leader returning from the other side of the mountain, and they all reorganized their armor, and several knights who were fighting for the prey also listened, and they quietly looked at Sword, but their eyes seemed to be on fire, as if they were waiting for their first love.

"His Royal Highness the Great Crown Prince has decided to let you go on a safari! cheers, stinkers!" said Sword, using all his bear-slaughtering strength, towards the bottom of the valley.

At the foot of the mountain, a group of knights responded with an even more enthusiastic roar, and the rather unconventional words of "Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" echoed in the valley for a long time. They resolutely packed their bags and rewarded their subordinates with the prey they had just caught with great difficulty, and even the knight who had hunted the ram was also quite disdainful to abandon the ram at his feet.

Perris turned his head to Sword in confusion.

"Are we going to leave now? But the sun is about to set first?"

"Your Highness, now is the right time to go hunting, and when the sun is angry, not only your loyal knights will be scorched, but even the animals in the woods will be hidden deeply, and now is a good time to reap. ”

The crown prince hesitated a little, he was nervous and excited about the forest at night, but he also had an unknown fear of the deep forest in the middle of the night, looking at the knights under the mountain who were ready to go, he wanted to retreat, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Sword seemed to see his dilemma, and he said quite "considerately": "Your Highness, my brothers and I of the Knights will always be by your side, even if there is a bear in the mountains, even if there is a bear as big as the palace, you don't have to worry. Besides, your swordsmanship has improved a lot lately, and I want to ......"

Before he could finish his words, the crown prince on horseback drew the knight's sword hanging from his waist and pointed majestically at the deep forest outside the palace.

At the foot of the mountain, the knights and their squires tried to line up in order, which made the scene in the valley somewhat bizarre. Among the many fancy banners and armor, a gray-green figure gradually tried to get out of the crowd, and he ran until he reached a dense forest in the valley, never to return to the group.

It wasn't until the knights left the canyon surrounded Perris and hummed a war song in a low voice that he poked his head out of the bushes, only to see the "knight" take out his "armor" three or two times, revealing a white robe, even if he took off his helmet, he still wrapped his face tightly.

He folded his hands in front of his chest, gestured in the direction of the sun's set, closed his eyes and chanted a few words, and finally let out a sneer or two.

"Sardin will always forgive the warrior without having to ask him"

Then he left the canyon with hurried steps, a pair of delicate cowhide boots stepping heavily over the freshly stained dirt stained with sheep's blood, leaving a clear mark on the bright earth, but all this was soon completely devoid of color as the sun faded.

Somehow, the originally clear sky became dim as night fell, and the stars and moon, which should have hung high in the night sky, lost their color, leaving only a quiet dead silence in the mountains, and the sound of everything became dim, only the screams of blood dripping on the ground were as clear as ears.

But at this time, the harbor of Abbasquia was still brightly lit, with the large ships blowing their trumpets, the sailors and the workers on the docks moving as usual, and the work here was as efficient and orderly as it was at light.

Orlando squatted helplessly on the edge of the dock, looking out at the dark sea, letting the sea breeze blow on his face. Since coming out of the tavern, he had almost run out of cash, and even the cost of another night in the city was a little more affordable for him. In fact, the few words he had left were not even enough to make a round trip from the southern continent, and in order to ensure that his trip could go smoothly, Orlando directly booked a cargo ship and set off at dawn.

Although it was the first time he had seen the sea, Orlando was not very excited, the thick fog obscured everything he could see, even the experienced sailors were somewhat frightened by such a ghostly atmosphere, and in just one night's work, the shore of the dock was full of large ships, and half of the fleet of these docked ships had just left the shore.

Everyone
