Pulun City - Han Tianxiang's residence.

The room was dimly lit, and several figures could be seen through the modest windows. They seemed to be discussing something.

Han Tianxiang sat on the four-legged chair he made, his hands lightly resting on the armrests, his pupils staring ahead with slightly dilated pupils, and the index finger of his right hand lightly tapping on the armrest. There was no expression on his face.

Han Tianxiang said, "Knight Edward, I can call you that, right?" “

There were four people in this room, one of them was Han Tianxiang and the other was Edward.

The remaining two heavily armed Pulun soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, guarded Han Tianxiang's side. One of the soldiers had his hand on his sword at all times, his eyes fixed on Edward, a pretented expression of total vigilance.

Edward nodded, and he said, "Please don't be too polite, just call me Edward." You and your men have just saved my lord and comrades, as well as the last survivors of the town. I express my sincere gratitude for your generous and righteous deeds, and I will surely repay this great favor to the knight's reputation. “

"Huh? I see, is it a knight who is loyal and dedicated to his knighthood? Han Tianxiang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Edward, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him and waving his hand to Edward, who was walking the highest etiquette.

Han Tianxiang said expressionlessly: "Edward, before you came to my town, everything here was still under my control. Now, however, it is clear that your presence has brought terrible disaster to my town, and that is the last thing I want to face so far. No matter what happens next, my city is immune to a lot of unnecessary losses, big or small. “

Edward lowered his head in shame, and to be honest, he also felt that he and the others had caused a lot of trouble to the young man in front of him, so Edward could not raise any dissatisfaction with the young man's arrogant expression and arrogant attitude, because he knew in his heart that he was not on the side of justice.

Han Tianxiang looked at Edward with a look of shame on his face, he really didn't have much of the mood to continue to put pressure on the other party.

So, Han Tianxiang turned his head and looked out the window on the right.

Four or five Pullen soldiers stood in front of the stables, which held all the members of Edward's team on the trip. Among them were the serfs and children, as well as the stupid and arrogant lord, who was also taken into custody.

Han Tianxiang has no intention of embarrassing them, but it is impossible to give them too good treatment in a special period now. Moreover, Han Tianxiang, who had always been cautious, would not allow such dozens of unstable factors to wander around in his territory, so he simply disarmed them all and detained them together despite the opposition of those knights, and as for the noisiest goods, he was knocked unconscious by a shot by the guarded Pulun soldiers, and he still hasn't gotten up yet. So tonight's sky is exceptionally quiet.

"Honestly, I don't really believe in you. I think your appearance is too weird, and it coincides with the appearance of the bandits in a way that is beyond the ordinary. I wonder if you brought those bandits here? Or did they just chase you to my town? “

Han Tianxiang stared at Edward with his eyes and asked, the other party was silent, and then raised his head to say something, but suddenly lowered his head. In the end, he silently let out a low "um", which was regarded as acquiescing to Han Tianxiang's judgment.

"Why?" Han Tianxiang asked, "Why would an English nobleman with his own town and soldiers and three knights by his side flee to my remote countryside like a lost dog?" And it's very weird, why do you guys look so clean? There was a lot of dust on it, but there was not a trace of blood, especially since your armor and robes were so clean that I couldn't tell you were going through battle. ”

Han Tianxiang stared at Edward coldly, and asked in a cold voice.

"Sue me, what's going on in your town? Why is the composition of your team so strange, to say that the expeditionary force is not like the expeditionary force, to say that the survivors are not like survivors, because your military base is still very solid, and nearly twenty fighters are quite impressive anywhere on this island. Your team is not so much a defeated deserter as I prefer to believe that the clean sword has quietly returned to its sheath without even the appearance of the enemy. ”

"I ......"

Edward raised his head, and when he saw Han Tianxiang's black and white eyes, he suddenly lost the idea of covering up his master.

"Hey......"

With a long sigh, Edward was both conflicted and helpless, as a knight who had taken an oath he had the duty and obligation to protect his master. But as a knight who also swore allegiance to chivalry, he would never be able to forgive himself if he lied at this time.

Edward's inner contradictions were entangled for a long time, and finally he gritted his teeth and sued Han Tianxiang for everything.

“……………………”

……………… Ten minutes later..................

"That's it, under my orders all the troops abandoned their intention to defend the town. The bandits, who had lost their way, swarmed in and slaughtered all the townspeople. And the leader of the bandits is the one who made the decision on this operation, but I didn't expect them to hunt us down for so long, and even affect you, my lord. In short, all of this responsibility is due to my arrogance that led to the loss of the town, so if you plan to hang me, please agree to me first. ”

Edward said as he knelt on the ground. Han Tianxiang raised his eyebrows, looked at Edward and asked, "What conditions?" ”

"Please be merciful and spare my comrades and the children and my master, who are undoubtedly implicated by me, and who have nothing to do with me, the immature knight chain, who has nothing to do with them!"

Han Tianxiang sat in his seat and stared at Edward motionlessly.

The wind blew out the candles, and the soldiers next to them walked over and lit them again.

Under the cloudy firelight, Edward kept kneeling on the ground, and he didn't dare to look up at the young man sitting in the chair as if he had seen through it.

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept running down his cheeks.

At this point, about two or three minutes passed.

Suddenly, Han Tianxiang let out a long sigh.

"Whew...... Well, I see. ”

Han Tianxiang waved his hand, signaling that Edward could stand up.

Han Tianxiang said: "It seems that the so-called knights are not all a group of high-ranking mercenaries who have a false reputation, you can think so much about your monarch and subordinates and people, it is really rare in this chaotic era." Your courage and bravery prove that you have what it takes to be a general, but the foolish loyalty in your bosom dooms you to the throne of kings as a mortal. ”

"Uh, sir...... I ......"

"Enough, I'm not interested in continuing to listen to your nonsense." Han Tianxiang raised his head high, half-opened one eye and looked at Edward, whose face was stunned. "It is natural for you to think about your partner, and this is the way of righteousness. It is the way of loyalty to take responsibility for the sake of your lord. And until the end, to make the last effort to the people you want to protect, even at the cost of your life, is the noble way. As a knight, you're perfect. “

"But...... But it is a great sin to try to deceive me with lies. Han Tianxiang, who originally admired the other party very much, suddenly changed his tone, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "Originally, a guy like you who was unstable and tried to deceive me with lies, no matter how talented you are, I will not hesitate to cut off your head to deter Xiaoxiao." In the end, it's just a slightly more perfect knight, and as a chess piece, it has more lethality than other chess pieces, but it's not an irreplaceable save. However, these are extraordinary times after all, and I can let you and your partner go, but only if you promise me two conditions. ”

"Please say it bluntly, I Edward have disappointed you three times and twice, and I am ashamed to even try to deceive my savior. So no matter what the conditions are, just don't let me kill my companion and the monarch, and use this life as you like! “

Edward fell to one knee again in shame, he admired the young man's eyes very much, but at the same time, he was even more guilty that he had tried to deceive the other party, and the other party was still his savior. Therefore, Edward thinks that he must make up for his mistakes no matter what, even if it is at the cost of his life.

At this time, Han Tianxiang shook his hand unhurriedly.

"Leave your life to yourself for now, I have something else to ask you before then."

"Excuse me, sir."

There has been some subtle change in Edward's attitude, but it is very subtle and fragile. If we insist on describing what kind of change it is, it is probably that the so-called "position" has wavered.

The gratitude and guilt from the beginning prompted Edward to make up for his mistakes as much as possible.

Han Tianxiang said: "As far as I know, no faction or mountain thief would slaughter the inhabitants of a town so cruelly. Because the world itself is very chaotic now, although it is very smooth to sweep away a town, it is actually cutting off one's long-term financial route. Plus I don't think the bandit leader is a brainless man, so I wonder before he slaughters your town...... Is there something he has a story that doesn't have anything to do with you or your lord? ”

Han Tianxiang said sharply.

Edward was stunned on the spot!

Then he smiled wryly.

"About that...... Yes, my lord. The one-eyed dragon did we know before, but that was sixteen years ago, a scandal long before my allegiance to Lord Roves. ”

"Oh?" The corners of Han Tianxiang's mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a very interested expression.

At Han Tianxiang's motion, Edward sat back in his seat, first with a long sigh, and then with a message about the hatred and entanglement between the one-eyed dragon and Roffs.

"That was sixteen years ago, when the one-eyed dragon was still named Luke. At that time, his nickname was not the one-eyed dragon, but Luke of Berro, a very famous local blacksmith, he was far less cruel and cunning than he is now, he was very gentle and honest, and had a blacksmith shop and a wife, a son and a daughter in the town. ”

"Yes. I see, it sounds like he's having a very happy life. ”

Edward smiled bitterly, as he had thought when he heard the story himself. But what happened next was not as rosy as it was now.

"Luke of Bero Town, a very famous blacksmith, the turning point in his fate came at noon one day, and that day happened to be the death of the old city lord, and Lord Roves had just inherited the old city lord's title and inheritance......
