Seeing several knights walking towards this side, the two knights were a little alert and a little helpless...... Barthes. The strength of Willy and the others was just ordinary in front of them, but if there was any conflict, they would also be embarrassed.

"Two knights, I'm Barth, the captain of the Cordillera's bodyguard. Knight Willy, you have been around us since we left Heidelberg, and we have reason to suspect that you want to be hostile to Lord Count. ”

Barthes. Willy solemnly gave a knightly salute: "If the two of you can't prove your identity, we will take the necessary restrictive measures against the two." ”

The two knights glanced at each other and returned a knightly salute, and one of the knights on the left said with a little displeasure: "Your Excellency Willy, you must be too lenient, is it possible that everyone on this road is hostile to your Earl?" If this is the case, then the Earl will inevitably have more enemies. ”

"Knight!"

Barthes. Willy's expression became serious: "You are not necessarily reckless, I believe you must know what happened along the way, if the two of you are really not hostile, then there is no need to wait for us to take decisive measures before revealing your identity, I believe that the two commanders will also agree with my point of view." ”

He knew as well as Hathaway that these two men were not at least all the way with the Red Tiger Mercenary Regiment, otherwise either of them would be no less than Jamie. Andrew's strength, if he really makes a move, Hathaway may not be so easy to deal with. But now is the time to force them to reveal their identities if they really refuse. Hathaway will definitely ask the local garrison to encircle and suppress it...... Because she had been robbed before, the Snow Wolf Legion gave her a note signed by the Imperial Military Department, and had the power to ask the garrisons along the way to protect her.

The two knights looked at each other again, the one on the left was about the one who was able to call the shots, the expression on his face softened slightly, and he took out a knight's badge and said: "Your Excellency Willy, we are knights of the Unicorn Knights, my name is Ulys. Gulen, he is my companion Dures. Simon. I beg your pardon for the offense, but we have no ill will towards Count Bell. ”

Barthes. Willie only glanced at the knight's badge and knew it was real...... The knightly badge of the Unicorn Knights is unique. It is a green-textured wood. Each coat of arms represents a separate knight. And after the death of the owner, the badge will also be automatically shattered, and it will definitely not be lost. However, just a badge. It's just a representation of their identity. It doesn't explain the purpose of their following Hathaway.

See Barthes. Willy's eyes. Ulys. Gu Lun sighed lightly: "Your Excellency Willy, we are just curious about Count Bell's ability to perform divine magic, and we have no other meaning......"

This reason, of course, is made up. In fact, neither of the two unicorn knights knew why the captain wanted them to follow Hathaway, and they also wanted to follow Hathaway in civilian clothes, but it didn't matter now, if they didn't give a plausible reason, even if they were unicorn knights, it would be a little troublesome, after all, the Otiga Empire is not a country where the church is supreme.

"Magic?"

Hathaway sneered, this reason is too lame...... But it's a reason, isn't it?

Speaking from her heart, she really doesn't have the strength to compare with the druid accountant now, not to mention that she is also really a thief. But judging by the reactions of the two knights, they didn't know what to do...... Or rather, the person who gave them the order wasn't sure what she had done.

If it was in a country where religion was supreme, those people might actually take her down...... Unfortunately, the Ostega Empire is wary of this, maintaining a cooperative and wary relationship with the Druid Church.

It's been a while since she came to this world, and Hathaway knows that even if she hands over what she has gotten, the church won't let her go easily, this kind of naïve behavior will never happen to her, as long as she doesn't show that thing in front of people, the Druid Church won't do anything to her. Of course, it is not enough to build on this point, the church and the imperial power have always been-for-tat, and they cooperate with each other, a small earl, and then it is possible to become a chess piece and be thrown out, unless she has absolute strength, she will really protect herself.

"It's so easy to be reborn as a human being, and I will never leave my life to anyone else!" Hathaway said to herself secretly.

"Lord Gulen,"

Hathaway looked at the two knights standing in front of her, her expression was very calm: "For the Druid Church, I personally have great respect, since the two knights are here for me, it is better for us to act together, and we can avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings." And,"

She smiled slightly: "I'm in danger everywhere along the way, the two knights shouldn't mind a helping hand, right?" ”

"It's an honor to be able to serve the Earl." Ulys. Gu Lun groaned slightly, bowed slightly, and readily agreed.

Next to Dures. Simon was a little puzzled, but Ulys. Since Gu Lun had already agreed, it was inconvenient for him to refuse, so there were two more knights with excellent strength in the team, but two more people in the team of hundreds of people were really not very noticeable.

While camping in the evening, in the tent of the two unicorn knights, Dures. After Simon confirmed that there was no one around, he asked Ullis in confusion. Gulen asks questions.

"It's very simple, the other party has already found out about our tracking and is already impatient. While it's unlikely that she'll do anything too much to us after we've revealed our identity, it's likely to cause other problems...... For example, she may blame us for the killing. ”

"How can this be true? Did she think she could just plant it? "Dures. Simon whispered angrily.

"Of course not, but if anyone needs this kind of excuse, it will cause us and even the church a lot of trouble, after all, the royal family of the Ostega Empire has always wavered in its attitude towards the church."

Ulys. Gulen smiled and said, "It's better that way, we can get a closer look at what is suspicious about her." ”

"How do I think she's trying to use us as her bodyguards?" Dures. Simon muttered under his breath.

"So what? We are knights, and we must not forget the principles we are bound to abide by. "Ulys. Gulen said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Dures. Simon's face flushed slightly.

……

"My lord, why did you invite them to come along?" In another tent, Barth. Willie asks Hathaway a similar question.

"You doubt their identity?" Hathaway didn't answer directly.

"No, they are indeed unicorn knights, and that knightly badge cannot be faked. It's just what they say...... The credibility is too low to withstand scrutiny. "Barthes. Willie said.

In fact, he really wanted to ask further, but Hathaway stopped him in time...... In fact, he knew that even if he continued to ask, the two unicorn knights would not say.

"They really have something to say. However, there is nothing wrong with the character of these unicorn knights, at least they don't see us as enemies yet. Hathaway laughed.

"What do you mean?" Barthes. Willie asked with some hesitation.

"If you don't have an enemy, you can be a friend...... At least there is a possibility of temporary cooperation. ”

Hathaway smiled lightly: "Since they want to follow me, let's just shorten the distance, if something happens, it's not good for them to stay out of it, right?" ”

"Will they do it?" Barthes. Willie was skeptical.

"Yes, if it's far away, they might wait and see. But if it was to discover the crisis up close, they had no choice. ”

Hathaway's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning: "Barth, invite the guests to dinner." ”

……

"Ulys, what if we encounter another robbery like the last one? Stay out of the way? "Dures. Simon asked.

Ulys. Gu Lun was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No." The regimental commander told us to follow her, and if the person died, our mission would be considered a failure. ”

He smiled bitterly: "The last robbery was an accident, and we didn't have time to help. But if there is an assassination next, we must be near her, or we will not be able to explain to the captain. ”

"I see." Dures. Simon was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Your Excellency Gulen, Your Excellency Simon, Lord Earl, please dine together." Outside the door came Balthe. Willie's voice.

The dining table is next to the campfire, and the flickering light of the fire is shining, flickering and dimming, which looks a little weird. Hathaway's dinner was certainly richer than that of the average escort, at least with dishes and soup, and even a few bottles of wine.

The crackling sound of burning made the flames more and more vigorous, and the pine resin and pine oil emitted a burst of fragrance in the fire, which looked not like a camping camp, but rather a dinner party sitting by the fireplace.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid your trip to the Cordillera has not been smooth, has it? Did you offend someone? "Ulys. Gulen asked tentatively.

"Hehe, I've offended a lot of people. As far as I know, there are a lot of people who want the Cordillera Plateau to maintain the current situation. They were worried that something would change when I arrived. Hathaway said with a smile.

"What will change?" Ulys. Gulen asked.

"I don't know."

Hathaway shook her head a little innocently: "I've never been to Cordillera, and I don't know what the situation is in the Path, what will change if I know the Road?" ”

"Your Excellency, aren't you a member of the priesthood of the Temple? I have never heard of a holy magician who is free to perform divine magic at such a young age. "Dures. Simon said from the side.

"Isn't that right?"

Hathaway smiled, "I know that there may be many clergy under the age of twenty in the Daoist Church, and they are all able to perform divine magic, and some of them are even able to perform intermediate and high-level divine magic. ”

Ulys. Gu Lun shook his head: "That's different, they are all clergy who have been raised since childhood, and you are a magician......"

The night grew thicker and thicker in their conversation...... (To be continued......)
