The gentle wind passed through the dense green forest to the clear blue sky, then turned sharply downward, clearing the faint clouds and following the sunlight through the grass in front of Taeam Castle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a period of reconstruction, the activities in the city have returned to their former order, and the new buildings shine in the warm sun.

The endless stream of chamber carriages passed the stone brick road in front of the mercenary union, and the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves stopped, ending with a soft sneeze. A white hand lifted the curtain on the carriage, and several knights in the retinue dismounted one after another to help him, but under the unpleasant snort, he could only withdraw his stiff hand in embarrassment.

With superior arrogance, dressed in a green and gold-patterned robe, the girl slowly got out of the car and looked around, enjoying the astonished glances from all sides.

Indeed, her beautiful appearance made some busy workers, as well as hawkers, and even the special car of a certain medium-sized chamber of commerce stop and marvel.

In just a moment, the path that was originally clear was blocked by water, and the knight who was on the side of the girl did not dare to step forward, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity to discuss.

Mixed with the noisy chatter, the slight sound of horses' hooves sounded with the crisp sound of heavy armor shaking. At the end of the street, the knights of the city executive department of Taiam Castle arrived, and their appearance caused the crowd to surge again, and their heads went up and down.

"What's the matter, so many people gathered here?" A heavy male voice sounded, and the noise was a lot quieter, "Adjutant, what's going on?" ”

The adjutant beside the tall knight looked a little embarrassed and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Lord Ben has waited for so long, and no one has come to answer, is the hospitality of Taiyan City the word arrogant?"

The girl made a childish voice, but with a hint of majesty, and at the same time glanced defiantly at the guard in front of the mercenary union.

The two guards looked at each other with a bitter smile.

"Lord Dubolan is busy with official business, and I ask Master Trini to follow me to the main palace." The heavy male voice that kept walking in pushed through the crowd, and as soon as the tall knight appeared, the light dimmed a lot, "What do you think?" ”

Feeling the overwhelming knight on the tall knight, the knights around the girl showed vigilance and vigilance.

"Since you're the chief knight, Mr. Adonis, you're barely qualified, so lead the way."

The girl's eyes casually skimmed to the mercenary union, as if to satirize the origin of the tall knight, and then the latter responded to this by smiling and making a gesture of invitation.

The crowd suddenly dispersed, and the identity of the girl was not difficult to guess, the princess of the royal family of Astaire was responsible for understanding the recent situation of Taiyan City.

The disappearance of Fei Wen and the other members of the Second Court in Taiyan City had a great repercussions, but the Astaire Kingdom did not care about this, weakening the strength of the Royal Mage Tower and the Knights, which was undesirable for the royal family.

Of course, for the sake of insurance, it is still necessary to investigate the current situation of Taiam City, and it must be suppressed appropriately, which is a necessary measure for the royal family to maintain contact with Taiyan City, so the prestigious Princess Trini was chosen.

Although she made the gesture of an unreasonable girl, the look of surprise in Trini's eyes could not be concealed.

After the reconstruction, the development of Taiyan Castle was beyond her expectations and that of the royal scholars.

First of all, in terms of population, although many people died after being attacked by the necromancy, the nobles of Taiam City summoned some relatives who were far away, such as travelers, artisanal merchants, and even mercenaries.

At this point, she was surprised by these nobles who had laid down their children, and admired the methods of the city lord even more.

Economically, the Warren Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of nobles, was dissolved, and the nobles and commoners had a common chamber of commerce, an economy that could hardly be imagined in other towns, and the goods of the commoners, such as fruits and furs, were generally sold to the nobles at very low prices, but here there were only fair and uniform prices - which greatly weakened the interests of the nobles.

Moreover, people of different statuses, such as mages, knights, and civilian merchants, are actually much more efficient when they are engaged in the same project.

Able to skillfully deploy manpower, Dubran has taken productivity to a new level with the help of the public.

The most incredible thing is that this measure did not cause a revolt from the nobles in the city, so some of the chambers of commerce founded by the commoners in other cities were moved to move their positions and throw themselves into Taiyan Castle.

The fame of Taiyan City grew louder and louder among the borders, and more traveling merchants or nomadic mercenaries heard about it.

In a town where there weren't too many status gaps and oppressions, Trini watched the carriage flow endlessly and felt a terrible sense of life.

But change was always a dangerous thing, and she didn't believe that the aristocratic forces entrenched in the city really didn't care about it, and the implementation of this method was bound to be rejected by the nobles of other towns. Either the nobles in Taeam Castle moved out of the city one after another, or the conflict between the nobles and the commoners intensified again, and Taeam Castle fell into disputes.

Moreover, the population has exploded, and many drawbacks will gradually appear.

It was nothing more than a comical way to nurture the commoners, these were short-lived vitality, and Dubran would one day be regarded as a public enemy by all the nobles of the Astaire kingdom because of this, she thought maliciously.

The sunlight shining through the carriage suddenly blinded, and she felt some pain in her eyes, and lowered the curtain irritably.

"Hurry up."

She said coldly to the front, her tone a little stinging.

Feeling the chill coming from behind him through the curtain, the groom shook his shoulders and looked at the somewhat dazzling sunlight, a little uneasy and confused.

With such good weather, why are adults suddenly unhappy?

Maybe this is the difference between commoners and nobles, he thought, and raised the rope.

The rhythmic sound of hooves quickened.

On the second floor of the mercenary union, Du Bolan by the window watched the green carriage leave, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked the same as before, and for some reason, he didn't like going to the council chamber of the main palace very much, but he felt more at ease here.

Coming back to his senses, he turned to look at the letter on the mahogany table, feeling a little emotional.

Until now, he felt like he was in a dream, but his busy schedule made him constantly realize that this was reality.

The various applications from the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the transfer agreements from various towns, and the official documents from afar, all had to be approved by him personally before they could be effective. He realized that the position of the city lord might not be as good as he thought.

A few months ago, he was still dreaming of becoming the chief knight of the Light Knights, but now, Adonis, who had been his defeated soldier, was promoted to that position by his own hands, and his feelings were indescribably complicated.

But Adonis did have the talent to take on that position, which gave him some comfort.

How could he become the lord of the city, he bitterly picked up the quill, looked at the mountains of papers, and wrote a few words with difficulty.

His wrist was already so sore that it didn't look like his own, and he sighed, looking at his flat lower abdomen, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

It's been a long time since I've practiced my knight's skills, and now it's really sloppy, and if it goes on like this, it won't be long before I become pot-bellied, and maybe my hair will fall out.

The appearance of the previous city lord appeared in his mind, and Du Bolan couldn't help but shudder.

He looked out the window again, under the bright sun and clear blue sky, Taiyan City also had such a day.

There was a slight knock at the door, and he came back to his senses and said, "Please come in, but it was not the report knight or the merchant or anything like that, as he expected."

The person who came was the famous and beautiful female knight of the Order, Tisera, the shy knight squire at the beginning, who had transformed into a slightly childish knight.

Because the armed forces of Taiyan City were exhausted, many knight squires became official knights in just one month.

He was now a little emotional, and stood up and smiled at Tishra.

However, to his surprise, even the slightly heroic Tishera blushed as before he smiled.

Maybe there's still a lot of room for growth, isn't it a bit bad to let them become knights so early.

He pondered, and began to think about new questions.

"Lord Castle, Mr. Leo is ready to go, do you want to go and have a look?"

Tise pulled away the blush on her face and said with a straight face.

Du Bolan was stunned for a moment, then patted his head, and secretly said that it was bad, he forgot about it, and without thinking much about it, he ran out after signing Tisera's hand.

The latter was a little stunned, but smiled sweetly.

In the room, which was immediately empty, a gentle wind blew, the curtains were slightly raised, and the sunlight poured down the gap on the letter.

The letters, presented on the mahogany table, were beautifully written, written by Iros, which, of course, Dubran might not have known.

The black font is a little bright in the light.

Dubolan, Lord of Taiyan City:

Well, I've been through a lot of things, and it's almost time to separate.

There's nothing to say, anyway, there will be a period later, the contract between us has been terminated, and I'm sorry to force you for so long.

Leo.

---

At the gate of the city, in addition to Adonis, who entertained Trini, there was also Dubolan, who was busy with official business, Luna and others, who were once rescued by Leo, and now they were the backbone of the city.

"Hero, there will be a period in the future, I believe I can still hear about your deeds!"

"If you become a great adventurer, don't forget that Taiyan City is your hometown!"

・・・

All kinds of voices echoed in his ears, and Leo felt a little helpless in his heart.

Those who said these words were usually knights in the alliance of the two cities, and they respected the strong.

Anyway, Luna and the others quietly looked at him sitting on the horse, wanting to say something, but they wanted to stop talking.

"Goodbye, then."

Leo pursed his lips and beckoned to the crowd behind him, looking ahead at the endless road that disappeared into the sunlight and the jungle and the mountain peaks, and waved the horse rope.

"Wait, there's someone coming."

The words of the moon god Iros suddenly appeared in his ears, and Leo reluctantly turned his horse's head and looked at the three figures running out of the city.

The farewell crowd was also surprised and turned around.

Two blonde hair, one brown hair.

Dubra took Tisera by the hand, dragged Adonis, and walked out of the city gates, slowly coming to a halt.

As if signaled by Dubolan, Adonis reluctantly stepped forward.

"Well, in short, a nice trip."

Compared to the previous mercenaries, who had changed a lot, he hesitated, looked at Leo, and finally said, the latter nodded.

"Mistress Leo."

Du Bolan, who had been released from the [Slavery] skill, knelt down towards Leo in the eyes of everyone's surprise.

"I can't go with you, but my heart will always follow you."

"I am your eternal follower."

He performed the highest chivalric salute as a sign of solemnity.

Everyone was silent, feeling the solemn air.

Long.

“・・・”

Leo stared at him, and after a while, turned his horse's head and left, leaving without saying a word.

Du Bolan, on the other hand, just calmly stared at the figure bathed in the sun until the figure disappeared, and did not say a word.

Just as Leo took the steps of his expedition, he had to start his own battle.

But there was one more thing he had always believed.

There will be a day when we will meet again.
