On the muddy road, Bruce rode on a horse and lingered in his mind the crazy sight that he did see in the parish town, even the most stingy businessman would take out his money bag for the sake of illusory faith, in fact, this kind of scene Bruce had seen before, but he didn't expect that this world was exactly the same, it may be full of danger and unknown fate, forcing people to desperately find the reason for spiritual sustenance!

"It's a pity that tonight, the diocese will have a free banquet, and even the commoners will have the opportunity to eat and drink in the square." Edward rode his scrawny horse and chattered to the others.

"I don't mind if you want to go back." Bruce couldn't help but say to Edward, the noisy guy nagged all the way.

"Of course not, I have sworn allegiance to you, offering you my sword and life, and I will go wherever you go." Edward hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Bruce.

"Finally you remember the knight's oath." Huntress Eve scoffed, unceremoniously damaging Edward, but Edward was not angry and still grinning.

"Oh lovely knight, I'd be grateful if you would give me a ride." Mavis winked at Edward, she helped Eve and rubbed her feet, as if she was very dissatisfied with letting such a lovely girl only walk, in fact, the travelers along the way couldn't help but look at her a few more times, after all, Mavis's appearance was very pleasant.

"Ahem, my lord, I'll go ahead and explore the way." Edward's face turned green, however, and it was clear that the scene in the tavern room had hit him deeply, and without saying a word, he kicked his mount and rushed forward.

"Tsk, it looks like you're not attractive enough!" Huntress Eve glanced at Mavis with her bow behind her back and said to her.

"Hmph, sooner or later, you won't be able to escape from the palm of my mother's hand." Mavis shrugged her shoulders indifferently, plucked a wildflower from the side of the road and sniffed it.

Hearing Mavis's words, Bruce and Anne glanced at each other, and the two smiled helplessly, it would be very sad to be favored by the swamp witch Edward, but Bruce was relieved, and it seemed that he was relieved.

Bruce was thinking about his plan, but when they crossed a small hill, he found Edward standing on the side of the road talking to several knights, which made Bruce very curious.

"Hey, my lord, these noble lords want to go with us." Edward saw Bruce and the others, and hurriedly waved and shouted to them.

Bruce kicked his mount and trotted forward, and as he walked over, he looked at the three knights, led by a large man with arrogant eyes, a fine leather armor, iron plates on his chest and shoulders, and a large sword at his waist.

"This is my master, Lord Glinton." Edward proudly introduced the knights.

"Good day, honorable lord." The knights looked at it and saw a strange banner fluttering in Anne's hand, and although they thought the heraldic pattern was strange, they also understood that it was a nobleman with a fief, and they paid homage to him.

"Hello dear knights." Bruce looked at these three knights with extraordinary bearing, with a bright armor, each of them seemed to be heroes in a legendary story, but Edward, who had a pale face, looked a little bad.

"So, just now I talked to these lords, and the path they are going to take is actually the same as ours, so I suggest going along." Edward rubbed his hands together and smiled at Bruce and the others.

Of course, Bruce had no reason to refuse, and travel in this era was not an easy task, and wild beasts, robbers, and even nobles who stood in the way were very dangerous factors.

"Wait a minute, we have one more companion." The tall knight said to Bruce and the others.

"I'm back." At the moment when the tall knight finished speaking, a woman in a long red dress came out of the woods by the roadside, wearing a very simple crown on her head and a pair of calfskin gloves in her left hand.

"Mistress, these adults want to go with us." The tall knight immediately bowed his head to the woman.

Bruce looked at the woman in front of him, she should be about twenty years old, her skin was as white as milk, her lips were slightly thick, a bit of the shadow of Tomb Raider Laura, and her towering cheekbones showed that this was a very assertive woman, but she was not mean, according to Sima Yuan's world, this was a strong woman.

"Dear Madam." Bruce jumped off his horse and saluted the noble lady.

"Oh, my lord, why haven't I seen your banner?" The woman's eyes swept over Bruce's flag, and she asked with some curiosity.

"I'm Lord Glinton, Bruce. Locke, this is my family flag. Bruce explained to the woman.

"Locke?" But as soon as Bruce's voice fell, the women's knights became nervous, and the tall knight's eyes revealed vigilance, and his hand was on the hilt of the sword, which made Bruce and the others nervous, this hostility made Bruce take a half step back, and also put his hand on the hilt of the sword, Edward was very keenly aware of the wrong, so he also distanced himself from the other knights.

"Do you have any concerns with the Locke family?" Bruce asked, staring at the woman and her knight.

The woman didn't speak, she looked at Bruce with a strange look, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she shook her head and stopped the knights with her eyes, and the knights had to let go of the hilt of their swords.

"No, I have nothing to do with the Locke family, please forgive my guards for being nervous, knowing that protecting a woman during this long journey has made them a little sensitive." The woman walked up to the mount and patted the docile little mare, and the tall knight came forward and knelt down on one knee and mounted her with one hand on her feet.

Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, he had enough troubles, and these three knights looked like they were good at war, on the contrary, in addition to Eve and himself on his side, Anne and Mavis were the ones who needed to be protected, and Edward Bruce really didn't count on it.

"Look, what a day, there's nothing better than walking together." Edward clapped his hands and smiled.

On the way back, Bruce and his party formed a makeshift group and walked down the muddy path, and to the surprise of this enigmatic lady was very talkative, and soon impressed Anne and Mavis with some distant stories, and her elegant temperament even became the object of Mavis's secret imitation.

"I haven't asked Madam for your name." Bruce asked her.

"Louise, call me Lady Louise." The mysterious woman looked at Bruce in front of her and said, the same young Locke nobleman who looked like he was only in his teens, made her full of curiosity.

"Madam, the Lord God is above, it turns out that you have entered the marriage hall." Edward said in surprise that although women in this era usually married very early, and there were many fourteen-year-old brides, aristocratic women enjoyed a free life, after all, after marriage, the husband became the guardian of the wife, and the strict restraint even made many wealthy aristocratic women prefer to live in widowhood.

"That's right, that's my father's decision." Louise smiled disapprovingly, reaching out and stroking her mount's neck.

Bruce also gradually relaxed his vigilance against Louise, it seems that this is a very ordinary traveling nobleman, at this time, the tall knight asked his mistress questions unnoticed by Bruce and others.

"Countess, will you let the maid pretend to be the maid and leave the parish yourself?" The tall knight was none other than Sir Hilton, he asked with some concern.

"I don't want to bend my knee to that fat pig, and I don't want to kiss his ring." The Countess sneered softly, it turned out that she was the Countess Randall, and it was her handmaiden who curtsied to the bishop in the diocese wearing a black veil, and she herself had already left wearing several knights.

"Then why do you have to walk with people, and what if you are discovered? What's more, it's still with the same Locke. Sir Hilton said dissatisfied.

"I hate the Locke family more than you do, but this Locke is funny, wouldn't it be fun to have some fun on this trip?" The countess smiled disapprenously.
