"We are knights belonging to the Count of the Kingdom's Flask, please show up immediately and cooperate with our investigation-!"

With the announcement of the self-reported door, there was a chaotic sound of crowds outside the house. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hearing these voices, Ai Xiuin also stopped what he was doing, and was stunned in place.

If it was him in the past, most of them would still be panicked because of these uninvited soldiers, but now it's just a meal at hand, and when he finds a place for himself to lay on the floor, he uses his brain to think about how he can get wanted?

You won't be so unlucky, you just escaped from the demon world and your identity was exposed...... As soon as the idea came to mind, it was dismissed.

This is unlikely, after all, he had only recently found out from the local adventurers that although White Oak was nominally the inherent territory of the small independent country of Bethmar, the royal family of this broken country was so incompetent that it was about to be stripped of the power to interfere in internal affairs, or in a few years it would be completely reduced to vassalage and accept the jurisdiction of the Eastern Magic Federation ruled by the forest elves.

To put it bluntly, this is just a small town on the edge of a small border country that is difficult to protect itself.

As for Lamar, the lord of White Oak, the nobleman with a bit of businessman's shrewdness in his elegance was a bit slippery.

But communication from another world is so backward, even if there is suspicion, it is unlikely that with his status, it is impossible to figure out the truth of his words so quickly.

Moreover, this lord Count Lamar is not simple, after all, for magicians of unknown origin, no matter how much they show their excellent strength, if the Frasque family really stands on the aristocratic position of the count of the kingdom, it is impossible to agree to sell the information.

Regardless of background, you can be considered a qualified businessman and only talk about profits, but you cannot be regarded as a qualified politician.

This is a different world in which the level of civilization is still in the Middle Ages, and the concept of class is so obvious that it is outrageous. The most important reason why the power and status of the aristocracy was superior to that of the commoners was that most of the resources for education were inclined to these groups. No country will allow nobles to sell information, after all, what the value of intelligence and knowledge means, it is impossible for nobles who have lived to middle age and lived a very nourishing life.

In such a special period, even his own country can be easily betrayed, and thinking of those rumors about "the Eastern Magic Federation throwing an olive branch", he estimated that the obvious Count Lamar would not mind whether the object of the transaction was a human or a ghost.

But before he could sort out the mess, a warning came from outside the door again.

"Hey, there's no living in there!"

Probably dissatisfied with the lack of response, the man's warning voice sounded again, with a strong dissatisfaction in his tone:

"According to the laws of the kingdom, with a lord's warrant, you can search all the buildings in the territory, and if no one opens the door again, we will force our way through...... Damn it, knight, this door is too bad!"

Those soldiers were probably used to their usual work, and before they finished speaking, there was a sound of hitting the door frame.

Hell, this has been forcibly demolished and a warning fart?Essine swallowed, thankfully he had put a reinforced defensive spell on the broken door when he was bored.

"Alice, you and Sokite hide first, and we'll take care of it here. ”

After a moment of confused silence, Eshoein made a silent gesture to Lori, a werewolf who was immersed in his own world.

"Oh, okay, Alice understands. Uncle Bone, come on!"

"Eh, wait, Sister Alice, what do you want to do, I won't make a sound...... Mmmm......mm

Probably sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Alice nodded obediently, and took the half-orc boy to hide in the dark ceiling, and after a burst of Sokate's struggle came from the ceiling, it was completely quiet.

On the other side, Paul also hid sideways in a hidden position in the room, revealing only the part of the room that was just enough to see the outside of the house.

"Lord Eshuin, there are not many people who can be seen, and judging by the pace, most of them are just ordinary people. ”

After glancing through the gap in the balcony, Paul lightly grasped the hilt of the giant sword and analyzed it seriously: "These people can easily solve it, but this is not a forest and mountain area where demonic beasts live, there are still many civilians nearby, and the problem of concealment and retreat is very tricky. ”

"Hmm...... Paul, you don't have to be so nervous, I've pretty much figured it out. ”

Seeing that Paul had almost considered the plan to retreat, Eshuin hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and explained: "Actually, it's not a big deal, these guys probably think I'm a liar." ”

After thinking about it a little just now, he could roughly understand that since it was not an identity, there was only one possibility that the lord could issue a wanted warrant.

At the beginning, he said that he would let the lord provide information, and he would find a way to help communicate with the magic academy of this country, but now that he has not seen anyone for so long, he estimated that the lord Lamar thought that he was a charlatan, and although there would be a wanted warrant, it was a bit unexpected, but it was also reasonable......

"Liar—?"

After hearing this word, Paul, who was hiding in the corner, held his head in contemplation, and then nodded as if he had woken up from a dream, "I see, the Frasque family, is the noble lord you said when you were in the fortress, the noble lord who traded with you." ”

"Pretty much that's it. ”

After scratching his head helplessly, Ai Xiu spread his hands in embarrassment and said, "I didn't do anything when I received the payment in advance, but now I'm coming to the door." ”

Although some of the feelings were discovered so quickly, there is nothing to worry about when you think about it.

"Since this is the case, then the subordinates will not show their faces, please pay attention to your own safety," Paul also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the confirmation, and let go of the hand holding the weapon.

"You guys rest first, I'll deal with it," After nodding to a few people, Eshuin quickly put on his armor and went downstairs to open the wooden door.

Several of Moyo's soldiers with thick armor had already surrounded the room, and among them were two light-armoured escort knights, riding black-maned horses and brand-new knightly spears, their armor polished and their weapons shiny. The knight at the head was a stout middle-aged man, with a beard on his face that looked extremely thick, giving people a sense of fierceness.

"Give me a second ...... Someone's opening the door, you idiots, stop me!"

The moment he saw someone appear, the knight who was commanding the team was stunned, the impatience in his eyes disappeared immediately, and after sternly stopping his subordinates, he picked up the portrait in his hand and quickly compared it, and the joy on his face became stronger and stronger.

"Your Highness, I am Ravi, the chief knight of the Flasker family, and you are the rumored Lord Ashin!?"

After confirming that it was correct, he turned over and dismounted, and asked cautiously

[Feelings: Does this benevolent brother know people by armor?] The man's determined attitude made Eshuin a little speechless.

"That's right, the old man is a magician who has dealings with your master. Although he wanted to complain, he still nodded mysteriously: "Go back and tell your master that the old man had some troublesome accidents during the trip, and the old man is deeply sorry for delaying the agreed time." It's just that I'm a little tired now, and I'll naturally visit when I settle down. ”

"Of course, I will convey these words to Your Excellency. After a long journey, rest assured. ”

Hearing these words, the chief knight Ravi seemed a little surprised, and then showed such an expression, and hurriedly responded respectfully: "The head of the family still has orders, if Your Excellency needs anything, please just order us." ”

Sure enough, as he thought, these knights should just be here to explore the truth.

"Hmm......" Ai Xiuyin looked at these ordinary people casually, and said in a cold tone without a trace of emotion: "No need, there is nothing that the old man can't solve in this country." ”

"What you say is absolutely true. Chief Knight Ravi hurriedly responded respectfully.

"Besides," he said after a pause, with some embarrassment, "Dinner ...... if you will."

After saying this, cold sweat instantly flowed down the sides of the middle-aged man's forehead, although it was something ordered by the head of the family, but it was an invitation, and he had to say it when the other party obviously said that he was very tired, even he felt that this was a bit like a summons.

It was then that he realized that he was talking to a powerful magician who the Count was deliberately trying to curry favor with.

Hearing the scene fall silent for a moment, and then thinking of those terrible rumors about the moodiness of the magician, the chief knight Ravi couldn't wait to apologize immediately, and then retreated with this team of ordinary militia who couldn't defeat even the lowest level of demonic beasts.

But the lord's advice made him grit his teeth and continue: "If you refuse, please tell your Excellency when you will have time. ”

What kind of rhythm is this?Eshuin was stunned, he envisioned the scene knowing that he was in White Oak Town, and these soldiers would quickly withdraw even if they had completed the lord's task, after all, in the common sense of the other world, magicians are old-fashioned guys, and no one likes to deal with characters with strange tempers and powerful killing skills (magic).

And the knight's somewhat fearful look in front of him also confirmed that his guess was correct.

But such an aggressive style, with complete disregard for etiquette, does not seem to be in line with the way of the aristocracy.

"Dinner—" Eshuin repeated word for word. Then the conversation changed, and he thought of the reason why Serena wasn't here, "Hmm...... Although the old man doesn't like your rude attitude, after all, this matter is the old man's fault first. So let's do it, we'll be guests at the mansion for dinner. ”

"You mean, we ......?"

After a pause, the Chief Knight shook his head and replied gratefully, as if he had been granted amnesty, "Thank you very much for your understanding, Your Excellency Esthein. Rest in peace, and we'll go back and inform Lord Lamar!"

"Close-!" After bowing again, the chief knight commanded his men to retreat in the direction of the mansion.
