A cool touch always enveloped her, and after a moment of confusion, the dazzling sunlight and headache brought her back to consciousness...... Loria climbed up from the shallow creek and examined herself unconsciously, she didn't seem to have any external injuries other than a headache, she felt as tired and weak as if she had woken up in a bathtub, and at the same time glad that the dragon's phantom had not killed her.

The reason why she was attacked was probably because the dragon wanted to warn the pesky trackers...... She looked around, and could no longer find anything like it, and she was indignant, but there was nothing she could do, and her sense of powerlessness deepened—if she were to meet that mysterious attacker again, she must make it look good—and she could only comfort herself in this way.

Frustrated, Miss Loria was stunned for a while, and then took out her pocket watch to confirm the time, she had only passed out for less than an hour, but fortunately she hadn't missed tonight's show, so it was time to go back......

Just as she was jumping around trying to dry herself, she searched for something unusual at the shallow bottom of the river, and she immediately jumped back into the water, rummaging through the water with her paws alternately like a bear, picking up the gravel at the bottom of the river and throwing them away, until something not much bigger than a grain of sand appeared in her palm, and she raised her hand and squinted at the sun...... Unusually, her extraordinary eyesight could not withstand the slightest injury, and she always tried not to look at the sun.

In the middle of the day, Loria wrapped a small piece of parchment in the gravel and stuffed it into her bag, turned around and ran down the river, and in a short time turned back and went eagerly forward.

……

Riotus lay on the small table and observed the wood grain, his sitting posture was extremely unrefreshed, not at all like a veteran. He began to pick at the wood grain with his fingernails, distracted by the noise outside the window in the distance.

Doru was in charge of the defense of the monastery and was the commander of the Duzhen side, and Mills was now the most popular man in the eyes of the eldest lady, and Leo had met him not long ago, and the bald man who was as strong as a bear actually crept through the alleys, ignoring his greetings, but glared at him fiercely...... He's on a confidential mission assigned by the eldest lady herself.

The Order's descendant, Sharia, is said to be knighted, and the canonization of the eldest lady will take place as soon as she inherits a certain title, and even the chattering priestess has become a prosecutor, busy with justice proceedings.

Not to mention Clement, she is a military leader in the absolute sense of the word.

Of the ten people who originally followed the eldest lady to the other world, and were killed and resurrected by her, I am afraid that no one had a worse life than him...... Ha, the caretaker of an armory.

Reotus, your name is strange.

Reotus, you're in your forties, so don't go to Valentine's Day and give the opportunity to the youngsters.

Reotus, the duty of a caretaker is very important, and it's up to you.

Ay...... With a long sigh, he got up and closed the window of the guardhouse, but he still couldn't stop the joy and noise in the distance...... In a few years, he may never be able to wield a sword again, and he will never have the opportunity to serve his compatriots and lords again, why? Why was he the only one left behind, did he offend the eldest lady unknowingly? It must be, the eldest lady could not have forgotten the existence of a person for some reason.

Riotus drew his sword and looked at his own face reflected on the sword, his hair was already a little gray, and the feeling of frustration was difficult to control for a while, but he finally restrained himself, he was not a knight mass-produced in wartime, he remembered all the dogmas of honor and duty, and since he was not trusted, it was only because he was not trustworthy.

After thinking about it masochistically, he straightened his back and regained his vitality, maybe everyone is a little sick these days, fear, responsibility, love, or whatever, people always need something to support themselves, otherwise how can they survive this darkness that will never have a camera?

He walked out of the guardhouse, patrolling the armory with a sword, the guards here were greatly reduced, but there was still a patrol on the periphery to defend, in preparation for tonight's event, most of the weapons were already in storage, he walked through the hall where the emergency supplies were stored, and he didn't see a single person, he didn't believe that anyone could break through an entire barracks and a well-trained patrol to come here without causing any commotion, but anyway, if there was nothing to do, just go around.

The castle of the Hearthvale was well defended and intact after years of war, the long cloister was flanked by solid stone blocks and countless rooms were stacked with all the equipment needed for the war, the long cloister gradually extended to the ground, the storage rooms on both sides became empty, and after several turns, Riotus reached the innermost level of the labyrinthine passageway.

Stored here are the Lady's favorite tools of war—vats of gunpowder and piles of cannonballs, which have slammed through the walls of Hearthvale, shattering the center of the enemy before they can come back.

Riotus took a few steps back in fear, and even the bravest knight should be cautious in the face of countless explosives...... Generally speaking, no one wants to come near here, and no one wants to be blown to pieces.

He was about to leave, go back to the guardhouse to rest for a while, and then patrol again, but he was attracted by the flash of fire, who dared to bring an open flame here.

A shadow appeared at the end of the hallway, then brightened, and the deliberately suppressed footsteps made Riotus suspicious of the visitor's intentions, and he disappeared into the darkness, quickly seeing the person who was coming.

"Ivan, what are you doing here?"

He suddenly emerged from the shadows, causing the young man with the torch to scream in fright.

"I ...... The Commander asked me to come...... Gunpowder, take gunpowder, fireworks are needed for the party. Recovering from the fright, the young man named Ivan quickly regained his clarity, and he said casually with a mocking expression: "There are always fireworks on Valentine's Day, aren't they? ”

"Now there are no more commanders, Ivan. ”

Riotus stared into the armory guard's eyes and said, "It's a major or lieutenant colonel." ”

"Yes, yes, you're talking about, Captain, Major Mikhail sent me. Ivan smiled and lowered his voice and said, "I found some wine, put it in the guardhouse, you go first, I'll come when I'm done." ”

"No need. Riotus didn't blink his eyes, just stared at the young soldier from the convent with a blank face, "Since there are so many people here, I guess we will be able to move it soon." ”

Looking at Ivan's shocked expression, Riotus clenched the long sword in his hand. (To be continued.) )
