The two horses entered the Ice Peak Fortress almost at the speed of a charge, and the hooves of the horses stepped on the planks of the drawbridge gate, and the sound was as deafening as a continuous thunderclap. The black shadow rushed in, and before he could slow down, two people flew down from the saddle.

One of them fell to the ground with a thud, rolled twice like a wine barrel, tossed the dust to his feet, and then swerved forward three or four steps before stopping. It was a stout man with a bust and waist circumference greater than his height, and if he took off his huge horned helmet and hid in the spherical ammunition depot of a giant catapult, no one would be able to find him. After he regained his balance, he quickly helped his helmet and gave everyone a smile full of dentures: "I, Mom Bingxia, am back!"

Feige just glanced at him, and the rest of his attention was on the other person. The other knight also dismounted, spun around in the air, and then pinned himself firmly to the ground with a pair of slender and straight legs. It's a female monster hunter with a small curly blonde explosion hairstyle, wearing a single black blindfold to hide the huge and deep scars on her eyes, but she's still beautiful, definitely a heroic thorny rose. It's no joke to say that she is "thorny", she uses a three-finger-wide belt to secure many throwing knives and darts, like Rambo with a machine-gun bullet belt on his back. Two loops around the waist and a circle from the shoulders to the opposite ribs, a total of three chains, close to forty rounds of ammunition, each of which can kill someone.

And that's not even the axes she had attached to each side of her thighs, of course, and the daggers hidden in her boots—Feige hadn't taken off her shoes to check, of course, but he knew there must have been one.

The woman tugged at the ammunition pouch on her shoulder, pulled out a slender object from behind, and threw it at Gresham with a whoosh. Fei Qi was shocked, and immediately prepared to work with his friends in the Ice Peak Fortress to kill the Marquise and the paladins here, destroy their corpses, and seek opportunities to collect their souls. Fortunately, it wasn't a throwing knife, just a slender scroll with lacquer and ribbons on it.

The scroll arced and slammed into the table beside the Inspector, and the bones stopped. "Bastard, I'm tired, why is this year's inspection suddenly advanced? You guys, if you have an opinion about us, you can fight with me first. I'll let you pick a longer and thicker weapon and fold it one by one!" "I haven't decided on the score yet, right? That's a certificate of merit, hurry up and take a look, and then give me a two-level increase!"

Sisina was right...... That's right, uh-huh!" Mom Bingxia blew his beard and glared for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "I have nothing more to add." ”

"Welcome back. The others you both know, this is Feige Snowman Icepeak, and this is the first time you've seen each other. "Kyle acts as an introducer, and he's rare not to be fierce or angry. "Sisina Iceblade and Mom Icegap, the only two monster hunters you haven't seen yet. Now the Ice Peak Fortress is full of people. ”

Feige hurriedly raised his hand to say hello, so that the throwing knife could recognize friend and foe. Mom crossed his arms and smiled innocently, but the corners of Sisina's mouth were still slightly upturned: "Snowman, okay, you can call me Sister Assi in the future, you can call him Mofu stupid." I've heard you're a gentleman, but you don't look like it, but at least you're in good spirits. ”

"First...... Score first, then ...... Let's talk again. "Mom Bingxia always spoke intermittently, but everyone understood what he meant. Don't look stout, but Mom's fingers are thin and long, and I don't know how they were exercised. He tugged at the corner of Sisina's clothes with his slender fingers, and said in a very serious tone, "I didn't ...... Let you help with nicknames. ”

"You just forgot. Sisina looked up at the sky, dodging Mohm's question, and then said to Gresham: "To get down to business, the merit scroll, written by the Marquis Garcia himself." ”

"Marquis Trident?" Gresham quickly opened the scroll after checking the seal. The pale gold paper, with silver powder in ink, forms a powerful handwriting, and the praise recounts the Monster Hunter's heroic battle with the petrified basilisk to save the town. The Marquis was very impressed with Silkina and Mohm, and was willing to pay for the renovation of the facilities by visiting the Sunset Mountain Church to express his gratitude. He was very generous, generous enough to make a special contribution.

Gresham frowned: "It said that the Venerable Marquis Pavilion will not come to the Sunset Mountain Range until half a year later, which means that the money will be paid when you get it." ”

"In other words, you have to see the gold to calculate our special contribution?" Sisina said in a playful tone, blowing her hair hanging down her cheeks, "Okay, I'm fine. ”

"Of course it won't be like that! The church is not a mercenary thug, the special thanks from the marquis are the most important thing, and spreading the teachings of the goddess requires the assistance and support of the noble elite, which is already a special contribution. ”

"Can the rating be raised by one level?"

"Yes...... OK. Gresham wanted to say "yes", but in the end he replaced it with "to". "Ice Peak Fortress, last year's rating was excellent. So be it......"

"Already excellent?" Silkina was reaching for something behind her waist when she withdrew her hand when she heard that it was excellent. Feige noticed that as soon as her hand was close to the ammo bag, everyone was nervous, including the guys at Icepeak Fortress - just a little less nervous than the paladins at Saddle Fortress. Feige couldn't help but wonder: Is she a violent maniac who likes to throw throwing knives and stabbing people?

"If there are no objections, the judging will be over. Inspector Gresham looked for advice with his eyes, and everyone was silent, so he packed up his things, did not even stay for another dinner, and left that afternoon with a headache.

"I had prepared a feast for two whole days. As everyone watched the paladins leave, Ramsden said in a particularly regretful voice: "It's all fresh, and it would be a pity not to eat it." ”

"That's all you talk nonsense!" Kylie kicked him in the ass: "Clean up the storeroom for me tomorrow, don't polish the armor, don't think about coming out!"

Ramsden jumped three feet high and ran happily towards the kitchen. Rubbing armor in the warehouse means that there is no need to run, practice martial arts, and have no heavy physical exertion, doesn't it mean that you can have a big meal today? No, it should be a meal when you are cooking, a formal banquet, everyone is asleep, and you will have another meal when you are left alone to clean up the dishes. How wonderful life is!

Old man Kiprin came over on crutches, reached out and patted Mohm's belly, then raised his hand and touched Sisina's face, and said in a kind voice, "You have worked hard. Is the Demon Hunting Parade complete, how do you remember to come back early?"

"Actually, we didn't make it all the way, we just got to the Cassin Valley. According to the plan, the two of us will go to Flipfish Town and Huishan City after the beginning of spring, but someone found us. As she spoke, she combed her hair, picked out a thin twig from it, and flicked her wrist at the humanoid target she was practicing. "Pierced me all the way. Oh! Baron Bentham Arnold has brought two merit scrolls and a letter for us to return to Icepeak Fortress as soon as possible. ”

"Bentham Arnold?...... this man" Feige felt familiar to him when he heard the name, and rummaged through his memory to find that he was a close confidant of his father, the Earl of Hall. "Where is the letter, and what does it say?"

"After showing it to us, the letter burned in front of us. That's right, it's your father's letter. Silkina looked at Feige and said, "Count Hall said that we don't need to go through the demon hunting route behind us, and someone will do it for us." The two merit scrolls are used for patrol ratings, and they should be sent back as soon as possible, and it is important to ensure that the ratings are at least good. And he also said that at least the scroll of the 'Trident' Marquis Garcia should be used, and the other Marquis of Scanting, depending on the situation. ”

Tron took a breath: "Two merit scrolls, so even if we fail the grade, we can still force it into good?"

"I don't know, it's all sealed with lacquer, and you can't see the inside, unless you dismantle this. Silkina pulled out the scroll of the Marquis of Scantine, but hesitated whether to give it to Kiplin or Feige. In the end, it was the old man Kiplin who took the initiative to take it and stuffed it into Feige's hand without looking at it.

Fei Qi thought about it and resisted the urge to open it and take a look: "This is also a meritorious scroll, we can only satisfy our curiosity if we dismantle it, it is better to keep it first, who knows if it will be useful in the future." I care more about the use of this rating than what it promises to the church, why does the Earl attach so much importance to it?"

"I don't know. In previous years, if the score was high, there would be more alcohol and potions, and the demon hunting parade route could be picked first, and there would be nothing else. Sisina spread her hands: "Even if you can pick it, the two of us won't change it, after all, it's more familiar now." ”

Old man Kiplin had a gut feeling that this rating should have something to do with the Model Leader, but his deceased bishop friend was strongly advocating for the Model Leader, so he did not elaborate on the establishment of the Model Leader. All he can do now is guessing, so it's better to save his brain and wait and see. Anyway, "excellent" is better than "good", and it is enough to know this.

Tron suddenly reacted, stared at the big eyes and said, "Wait, that is to say, you have never met Marquis Garcia and Marquis Scantine at all, and then you got two certificates of merit?

"My brother Andrew is engaged to the daughter of the Marquis Garcia, and that woman is ...... Carol Garcia, I remembered. Fei Qi scratched his head: "Marquis Scanting, I don't know what's going on, I can't even remember what his full name is." ”

"There's no need to worry if you can't remember, you'll figure it out anyway. Old man Kiplin waved his hand and said with a smile: "You two clean up, there are no outsiders tonight, just the three of us and Collingwood Town who came to help, you can relax and welcome you back." Who's on duty? Feige, I think it's you. You can eat at night, but you can't drink, and you have to keep watch. ”

"Oh, it's me, I see. Feige remembered that it was Ramsden tonight, but since Lord Snowy Owl had said so, he should have taken it.

He also needed time to think about it and see if he could find some clues from his memory.

"Father" Count Hall's repeated arrangements made his "Ice Peak Fortress Exile" become foggy.

On the other hand, on the way down the mountain, in the carriage, which had become more bumpy due to the obvious weight loss, the Marquise of Pogemana was clenching her handkerchief and frowning, also thinking about these new events that had happened today. "Exile, bullshit, it's all arranged! there's him, there's him, there's him, there's him...... But who else, who's still on Hale's side? Damn, why Feige, didn't Hale always want his eldest son, Andrew, to inherit the Templars, and give Feige the title and land of the royal earl? So it seems to be the other way around? Why did he toss so much, and let that bastard Feige have a bad reputation as a prodigal bastard? Is there any meaning in that?"

"Could it be that he can see that Feige is more favored by the goddess?"
