Chapter Seventy-Five: Private Affairs
The travelogue was not torn up after all, and was put away by Duke and thrown in the corner of his desk.
After all, it was written by Her Highness the Holy Maiden, and if it was destroyed, I don't know what kind of moth she was going to do, so in the end I could only think about it in my head.
He had already made up his mind not to send anyone to follow Agnes, and he could just send her away in one piece, out of sight and out of mind.
However, Agnes' brain circuitry is beyond Duke's ability to measure.
For the next few days, Agnes continued to wander out every day, and then wrote her travelogue with great interest.
When she couldn't find the man Duke had sent over, she asked the waiter of the inn to bring it to the castle every evening when she went back for dinner, so that Duke felt very big.
"My lord, this is today's notebook, please sign it. ”
That afternoon, the waiter at the inn brought Agnes a travelogue, and waited for Duke to sign it as a receipt, and took Agnes as a basis for reading it.
Looking at the travelogue, which was thicker than the previous few days, Duke instantly felt that his whole life was full of gloom.
At this moment, a guard entered the gate and saluted and reported: "Lord, there is a group of men and horses outside the city gate, claiming to be the guards of Her Highness the Holy Maiden. ”
Duke was instantly refreshed, and the Holy Maiden's Guard, which he was looking for, finally hurried to this side.
This meant that Agnes had no reason to stay here and must begin to take her guard deep into the Dark Mountains to investigate the erosion.
At the same time, it also means that he can finally get out of the sea of suffering, and he no longer has to face this crazy woman's garbage travelogue in pain every day.
"Very good! Very good! Let Vlavich provide them with a place to rest according to the previous arrangement, and go and inform Her Highness by the way. Duke couldn't hide his excitement, and only hoped that Agnes would receive the news sooner and arrange the trip as soon as possible.
The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, the captain of the guard of His Highness the Holy Maiden wants you to talk to him personally, he said that he has some personal matters with you that need to be resolved. ”
A personal matter?
Duke rubbed his chin a little puzzled, he was very sure that he had no acquaintances in the church, let alone any enemies, no personal affairs.
But it was impossible for the people of the church to act against him in the open, so he decided to meet the captain of the guard for a while.
"Well, I'll be there later, you go and inform Agnes and Lenya. Although he was sure that there was no danger, he finally decided that it would be more reliable to bring himself double insurance.
............
When Duke felt the south gate, he found about twenty people standing like statues beside the gate, oblivious to the passing lords and caravans, and completely oblivious to the curious gaze of the surrounding crowd.
The leaders were a man and a woman, both wearing expensive bright silver magic plate armor, which shone dazzlingly in the sun's rays, and you could feel the aura of a strong man emanating from them when you saw them from a distance.
Behind them were a dozen Templar guards wearing chain mail and white robes, all armed with spears or gilded battle flags embroidered with emblems, and helmets like cans, making it impossible to distinguish between men and women.
But Duke could still vaguely feel that the strength of their individuals was not low, and the position they were standing seemed to be exquisite, probably something like a legendary battle formation.
Duke jumped out of the carriage, stretched out his right hand to the man in the lead, and said, "Hello, I'm Duke, and I extend a warm welcome to your arrival!"
From the guard's mouth, he already knew that this man had some personal affairs to settle with him, and that he was also the captain of the entire guard, and the woman was the vice-captain and barely spoke.
Duke also quietly scanned him with the system, knowing that he and the female knight both had the same strength as Lenia as a level 5 great knight, and their talents were not bad, but they were a little older.
Most of the others are also level 3 trainee knights, and a few are level 4 knights, but such a team is enough to pose a threat to half of Duke's military strength.
Maybe it should be said that it is not a loss that the church has equipped the exclusive guard for the Holy Maiden, and it has invested enough money, and the strength and equipment of the entire team are top-notch, and ordinary people can't envy it.
"Hello Duke, you can call me Tiger. The leading man took off his iron gloves, touched Duke's right hand kissing, and said with a smile.
Duke found that this guard was not only well-equipped but also powerful, and it seemed that he had also screened his appearance.
The dozen or so tin cans in the back couldn't see their faces clearly and not to mention, the other silent female knight also had a beautiful face and a beautiful posture.
And the man named Tiger in front of him also has a different kind of charm when he laughs, coupled with a well-groomed blond shoulder-length hair, an absolute idol.
It's just that the more you look at it, the more familiar it feels.
"We ...... "Duke really didn't think that he was a human being in two lives, and this classic opening sentence was actually said to a man.
"No, we don't know each other. Tiger said with a gentle smile, and then looked at Duke's puzzled expression and added with a smile, "Maybe you know my father, he may be more familiar with you." ”
Father?
Duke was puzzled at first, and then a ridiculous thought appeared in his mind.
He suddenly realized that as long as the man in front of him became a little older, a little richer, and cut his hair short, he was a proper Baron Rhine himself.
Although this idea was very outrageous, Duke still asked with some hesitation, "You...... Is it the son of Baron Rhine?"
"It seems that the Duke has not forgotten my poor old father. He's not badly 'entertained' with you, isn't he?" Tiger seemed a little pleased, still smiling and nodding in acknowledging Duke's guess.
It's just that this smile doesn't seem to Duke to have half warmth and sincerity, but is cold, and it seems to hide a deep killing intent and mockery.
What's going on, is my son calling the door to stand up for my own son?
Duke couldn't figure out Tiger's attitude for a while, and the female knight also looked at Duke and Tiger in surprise, obviously not expecting that there was such a relationship between the two.
"Hahaha, that's natural, we're all still eating and drinking to take care of him, why don't you sit and sit in your spare time?" Duke replied with some embarrassment, and then realized that what he said didn't seem to be quite right.
And Baron Rhine was indeed locked in a dungeon by him, and he couldn't take care of it, at least he was still hanging on his breath, and the food was not bad, enjoying the treatment that a noble prisoner should have.
It's just that if Tiger hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that there was still this person, and he was supposed to take it with him when Agnes returned home.
"I'll arrange for my men to be stationed first, and I'll definitely harass the Duke then. ”
Tiger reloaded his gear, bowed to Duke very solemnly, and then led his soldiers towards the place where they had become.
