It wasn't the sound of the colonists at work, it wasn't the birdsong outside the window, it was the first rays of sunlight on the bridge of Grissonda's nose that woke her from her slumber. Grisenda slowly opened her eyes, rubbing her sour eyeballs with her right hand in a daze, vaguely recalling the cause of her insomnia last night.

Someone pushed the door in.

"Hope it doesn't bother you, Miss Glicenta. Nissot paused for a moment, and was a little embarrassed to see Grisenda in her pajamas and her eyes were misty. "I just heard movement inside. ”

"Oh... It's okay......" she yawned, then sighed. "After all, it's not like I've never encountered this kind of thing. She thought of James, and suddenly felt like laughing.

"Madame Cherel wants to see you. Niso leaned against the edge of the door, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Miss, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Well, it's nothing......" Grisenda yawned a second time, lifted the covers, and put on her shoes. "It's just a nightmare. ”

"About the tomb?" Nisol walked into the room, then picked up the clothes, armor, and cloak that hung on the wall, and handed them to Glicenta.

"Thank you. Grisenda blushed for a moment, she thought the man would leave soon. But she didn't hate him, so Grisenda didn't feel too disgusted. Nisol's movements were a bit restrained, looking polite and strangely presumptuous. Maybe that's the kind of character that adventurers have, she thought.

"Can you tell me anything about the abandoned tomb, which we haven't been here for a long time, and we don't know much about it. Nisol turned his back. "I'd better avoid it when I change clothes. ”

"No, I don't take off my clothes. Glicenta smiled. She was a little sad. "That grave contains the bones of my ancestors, and I have come there on a mission to retrieve the ring left by my grandfather. ”

"I've heard that these abandoned tombs and crypts are very dangerous, and are often infested with undead life. Nisol tilted his head slightly. "But I don't think a man who is conscious enough to go to such a place alone and investigate the relics of his ancestors is no match for a few disgusting zombies or terrifying skeletons. ”

Grisenda was silent for a moment, then slowly put on her armor. "You don't understand. ”

"Ah...... That's right, too. He stepped on his tiptoes and walked out of the place briskly. "After all, I've only known you for one night...... I'm sorry for my rudeness. ”

"It's fine. Glicenta smiled. "Don't talk about that, Nisol, don't go yet. Grisenda fastened her cloak.

Nisol stopped and smiled imperceptibly.

"Yes, miss. He turned. "Is there anything you need to order?"

She lifted her sword. "You're not stupid enough to guess who I am, are you? Chelaire too, you should have seen the coat of arms on my armor while I was sorting through my belongings. She blinked. "That's why you've arranged a separate room for me, because you know that you guards together won't be able to defeat me. ”

"Yes, miss. Nisol was respectful, but he stood casually. His long black hair and the bow and arrow behind him attracted Glicenta's attention.

"Bow and arrow behind you......"

"This is a hunting bow that has followed me for years. He said. "Mademoiselle, if everything is ready, then follow me to Madam Scherel's room. ”

"Of course there is no problem. She got up from the bed and stared at his back as she followed Niso out of the room. "I also wanted to learn archery, but unfortunately I didn't have much talent in it. ”

"Are Storm Knights allowed to use bows and arrows?"

"Of course. ”

"Oh...... Yes, Grisenda, I've heard that Storm Fortress has three of the most powerful knights, known to the outside world as the Storm Knights, and one of them is good at using bows and arrows. In the war two years earlier, this knight stood at the rear of the battlefield and killed the commander on the opposite side with a single arrow. ”

"Hmmm......"

"You should know this person, after all, you are also a knight living in Storm Fortress. ”

The two men walked up to a slightly larger wooden house, and Niso approached, then knocked on the door.

"Please come in. There was a nice and gentle female voice inside.

Nisol smiled, then pushed the door open with Glicenta inside. It was a small study with only a few bookcases, a table, and a chair, and a smiling woman with long black hair sitting behind the table.

"It turned out to be our rare knight from Storm Fortress, I didn't expect to be so young, and I was still a girl. Scherer put down the quill in his hand. "Don't take a seat yet. ”

"No, ma'am, you're too polite. "Somehow, as soon as Grisenda saw this woman with a gentle smile on her face, all the unhappiness she had accumulated last night was swept away. She exhaled, then responded to Scherel's hospitality with a casual and lovely smile.

"So, Grisenda," she said, standing up, "what are you doing on this trip, Miss Knight?"

Glicenta raised an eyebrow. "I actually wanted to know what it takes to be a good adventurer. ”

Xie Le "giggled": "Be an adventurer? It's a pity that there are only guards and peasants in this colony, and there are no adventurers. But if you really want to be an adventurer, I might send you a mission, I wonder what you think, Miss Knight?"

"What mission?" Glicenta thrilled as soon as she heard the mission and realized that she might be able to take a big step forward in becoming a great adventurer.

Scherel opened the window behind him, allowing the warm summer breeze to fill the room. "See the river not far away?"

"Blue Mist River. ”

"That's right, this is the upper reaches of the Blue Mist River, and it is about 50 kilometers away from the river to the shore of Lake Niger, which means entering the territory of the Kingdom of Irmari. Before this, we had sent several business teams to the kingdom of Irmare to buy goods, but just last month, a caravan set out and never returned. ”

"Have you been robbed?"

Sherel shook his head. "There are no robbers in this place, but there is a creature that is more uncomfortable than robbers. ”

"Mo Mac. Nisol, who had been standing aside without speaking, interjected.

Schelle nodded. "The overall quality of our soldiers is not good, but the Storm Knights are the most powerful knightly legion in all of Vasilia, so I hope to be able to get your help, Miss. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, we don't hire adventurers for free, we give you money, and Niso will be there to help you when you move......"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I didn't really ask for that. Grisenda touched her forehead.

"And what do you want, Miss Knight?" said Scherle, turning, smiling and squinting.

"I thought," she said, "let some of you go and find something for me in that abandoned mausoleum." ”

Schelle was stunned for a moment, then smiled again. "It's a dangerous mission. But Miss Knight, may I know why you are so attached to the mausoleum, that the seed merchant had already told us when you first came here that the purpose of your visit was actually the mausoleum. I was really surprised when you said you wanted to be an adventurer......"

"Well, our family has something very important hidden there. ”

"So you're trying to let us rob the grave?" said Sherrell sat back down at the table. "I'm sorry, but this job is too dangerous for us to accept. ”

Glicenta sighed.

"Forget it, don't force it, I'm not short of money, I'll be free of pay or something, but I'll help if I'm busy. ”

"Miss Knight, why don't you go and investigate the tomb yourself? I think with the strength of a Storm Knight, I'm afraid it's more than enough to defeat a few undead. ”

"Hmm...... There may be some other reasons. Glicenta shook her head. "Let's talk about the mission, do you have any information about these creatures and their dens?"

Cherel looked at Nisso.

"Miss Glicenta, I'll just have something to say about this disgusting creature. Let's go, while the sun is still shining today, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with their activity locations, and if you're ready, we'll go to the place where Mo Mack has the most to investigate. ”

"Hmm!" Grisenda clenched her fist and rushed into her room. Nisol followed, not speaking all the way.

"What weapon do you use?

"Yes. Nisol replied.

Grisenda pinned her sword to her waist and said, "What are you waiting for, let's hurry up." ”

Nisol smiled.

"I think you're in a better mood than you just did. The two walked out the door.

"Yes, I've always been like this. ”

"Now let's revisit the story of the three Storm God Knights. Nissel said. "How much do you know about the knight who shoots the arrow?"

"Oh, he's always known to be at the shooting range every day, and he behaved very strangely, and he always liked to wipe all the dishes with his handkerchief when he ate, as if we were going to poison it......"

The sun is shining, and everything is thriving. Long lost free air. Everything here is different from the dreary life of Storm Fortress. Glicenta walked here, happily trying to hum a song, and her steps became jumpy. The two men walked over a wooden fence and stepped onto a small bridge made of wood.

"You know a lot about him......" Nisol said as he walked forward. "In that war two years ago, did you protect Baron Storm?"

Gleecent Dart paused, then continued walking.

"I've heard rumors about you, and it is said that in that war, any soldier of Mercia who entered the land within 100 meters of Baron Storm would be cleaved to pieces by a rain of swords that was as fast as lightning. This man is the most powerful of the legendary Storm Knights – perhaps the most powerful in the world – and the most enigmatic, known for his speed and melee prowess. What's more, the knight was not only a woman, but was only 16 years old in that war......"

"How do you see that?" Glicenta turned her head to the right. "I don't think I said anything. ”

"We both know who you really are, Miss Glicenta. Nisol smiled. "After all, there is only one woman in the Storm Knights. If we can't recognize it under such an obvious prompt, do we still have the face to be at the top of the management of this colony?"

"But you're wrong about one thing. ”

"What?"

Grisenda turned her face and winked her right eye cutely. "Mystery, perhaps, because I rarely go out to fight, but I'm never the strongest when it comes to being strong. Nisol, there are some horrors in these worlds that will never be matched, and if you have seen them, you can understand why I am so afraid of that mausoleum. ”
