It was pure light, diffusing from the crystal chandelier and filling the hall.

In the middle of the hall is a huge round table, and the red lacquered aristocratic chairs on the carpet are arranged around the round table, which looks extremely solemn.

Then, the door was opened.

With only a creak, the attendants streamed in through the door, orderly on either side of the hall, ready to welcome the most important guests.

The attendants cleaned the hall, closed the windows tightly, drew the curtains to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the place, and then slowly retreated.

After a while, the guests who participated in the meeting arrived one after another.

It was men in knight's uniforms.

They wore uniform white uniforms and shone with a pure white glow as if they had been favored by the gods.

It was a light that seemed to fill their bodies, so gentle that people felt comfortable from the inside.

There were eight people in total, seven men at the front, followed by a girl in a white robe.

The girl looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was quite young compared to the men around her, but there was a strange charm on the girl's immature face, and she had a smile on her face, and her long black hair hung down like a waterfall, leaving a silhouette on the wide white robe.

Now the eight of them sat down one after another, and when they saw that everyone had arrived, the attendants closed the door, but the door was not completely closed, but left a small gap.

"So, are you all here?"

After a moment of silence, the girl spoke.

"Ronald hasn't come back yet. The knight sitting on the girl's right replied, it was a knight with golden hair and blue eyes, which stood out among the crowd.

"Ronald, as our trump card, where did he run away at this time?"

The girl pressed her forehead, as if she was in distress.

"That person is really, like this every time, and he doesn't look like a brave man in this country at all. ”

"Holy Maiden, shall we wait for Lord Ronald to return?"

At this time, the young knight on the left hand side of the white-robed girl spoke.

"No, Hammer, don't wait for that guy, he'll definitely come over and apologize with a hippie smile in a moment anyway. ”

The girl shook her head helplessly, she opened her eyes and looked at the people around her, her brown pupils with cold seriousness: "Everyone, today I am here on behalf of Your Majesty to discuss with you about the battle of the border city. ”

Hearing the girl's words, everyone sat up straight and cheered up.

The girl looked around and nodded to everyone with satisfaction.

"Now there are only eight knights left as St. Ul's trump card, and the Rose Knight, the Blackstone Knight, the Wind Blade Knight, and the Thunder Knight have all died in the exploration of the border city, and now it can be said that St. Ul is the most critical moment. ”

After the girl finished speaking, everyone's faces sank.

That's right, the twelve paladins that St. Ul was proud of died like this, and all in the same place.

The ruined border city became the kingdom's most forbidden place of death, and after confirming the existence of powerful demons in St. Ul, the kingdom finally stopped sending exploration troops to the city, and instead turned to the highest level of preparations.

"Anuva, you've already told them what you saw over there, right?" the Holy Maiden turned her gaze to the blonde knight, the third of the twelve paladins and the only one to escape alive from the border city.

That's right, it was "escaped".

It's a bit disgraceful, but that's what they're facing.

The enemy is unprecedentedly powerful, and even if the NO.3 is not careful, he will die on the spot.

The Shining Knight nodded: "Everyone already knows the relevant information, but we are still waiting for Ronald's report on the matter of Wengra." ”

"What's wrong with Vengra?"

Someone who heard the name of the neighboring town of Border City couldn't help but be a little curious.

"I'll leave it to me. ”

At that moment, the door to the conference room suddenly opened.

"Sorry, sorry, came back too late. The young man in a white knight's uniform walked in embarrassedly touching the back of his head.

The young man looked quite young, and many of the knights present were older than him, but all of them looked at the young man at the door in awe, and there was no dissatisfaction with his belated behavior.

The only one who was dissatisfied was the saint.

"Ronald, how many times have you said it, don't be late. ”

"Catherine, I'm hurt, and I'm rushing back from Vengra without stopping, can't you be considerate of me?"

Ronald sighed and pouted at the girl.

Everyone else held their breath and didn't dare to speak, after all, in this royal city, except for His Majesty, only Ronald dared to call the name of the Holy Maiden, the age of the two was not much different, in the past several battles to annihilate the Demon Beast, it was the Holy Maiden and the Holy King Knight who fought side by side to successfully defeat the enemy, and there was a bond between the two that no one else could match.

"Hmph, I'll spare your life this time. The girl snorted dissatisfiedly, but the corners of her mouth raised a slight smile.

Seeing this, Ronald sat down with a big grin.

"Alright, now that you're here, let's report while everyone is hurrying up, I heard you've made a big fuss in Wengra. ”

"Haha, you're really well-informed. ”

"It's not a compliment, and, I say, you, can this strange hobby of being an adventurer cease sooner? ”

"I know, I know, Catherine, please don't say it. Ronald pleaded with a bitter face, he knew that the holy woman in front of him would not stop once she reproached.

"Besides, didn't I happen to encounter a big prey when I went to Wengela for a part-time job this time......?

Ronald said in a deep voice, "I fought with the demons of Border City. ”

"Is that the boy named Onor?"

Hearing Ronald's words, the Shining Knight frowned, after all, the boy named Ornoor had beaten him away in embarrassment, and he wanted to confirm whether it was the same person.

"That's right, as you described, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a weapon that is a magic book, and can use a lot of strange tricks. ”

"So, did you defeat him?"

The Shining Knight stared at Ronald.

"Of course, I'm a brave man. Ronald's answer was a relief to everyone.

Everyone was afraid, afraid that it was an incomparable monster, after all, four knights had already died, and they didn't want to see anyone die again.

Although I had received a report from the Adventurers' Association before, it was more credible to hear it from Ronald in person.

"Well...... Ronald said, "I'm so sorry to let him run away." ”
