"Young man, you have a good chance of passing the selection, let's go, I'll take you there."

Seeing Bai He, in the crowd, an old man with white hair and a cane couldn't help but flash a strange color in his eyes, and then said to Bai He enthusiastically.

"Then thank you, uncle."

Shirakawa thanked.

"No thanks, come with me."

The old man smiled, then left the crowd with Shirakawa and walked towards a street.

On the way, as he walked, the old man sighed.

"Hey, I'm old, I'm old, or I'd like to join the crusade."

"Uh......"

Bai He didn't know how to answer.

"You can contribute to the kingdom alive, you don't have to crusade against the demons, just leave these to us young people, if the crusade against the demons still needs an old man like you to play, then this country is probably at the end of the road."

After thinking about it, Bai He smiled.

"I would like to ask, uncle, why do you want to crusade against the demon so much, there must be a reason for this, right?"

Shirakawa asked.

"Hey."

The old man sighed, his eyes moistened.

"My son is in business, importing furs from the north to the kingdom, and then selling them, he has always lived a good life, but unfortunately the devil suddenly appeared, that time my son happened to go to the north to buy fur, and he never came back after that, if it weren't for the fact that I still have a grandson to take care of, I really want to go with you to crusade against the devil to avenge my son, I am such a son!"

The old man was very sad and authentic.

"Uncle, don't be sad, this time Anie? Queen Cid has summoned the warriors of the whole kingdom to fight the demons, and I believe that this time she will succeed in killing all the demons and avenge your son. ”

Shirakawa comforted.

"I hope so."

The old man shook his head.

"By the way, uncle, are you calling it the Kingdom of Ailan here? Why do I hear others say that they are called the southern countries? ”

Remembering that Hexi called this southern country before, but seeing the notice that this place was called the Ailan Kingdom, Baihe couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Hehe, I knew that you were definitely not from our kingdom, after all, I have never seen a person of your appearance and height for most of my life."

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"It used to be called the Southern Kingdoms, because there were many countries here, but they were all just city-states and principalities, but so many principalities still had the same faith, that is, angels, until fourteen years ago, only twelve years old Ani? Queen Cid was born and spent ten years as an angel's daughter unifying all the principalities, finally forming the current kingdom of Alan. ”

"I see."

Shirakawa nodded.

"Okay, here, further on is the royal city, I can't guide you anymore, and then you can only go on your own, but don't worry, as long as you show your intention, there will be soldiers to take you there."

Looking at the city within a city in front of him, the old man stopped and faced Bai Dao.

"Thank you, sir."

Looking at the old man, Shirakawa expressed his gratitude.

"No thanks, I'm leaving, I wish you a smooth journey."

The old man shook his head, turned away, and finally disappeared at the end of the street.

"Stop, whoever!"

Bidding farewell to the old man, Bai He walked towards the royal city, and in front of the gate, several guards suddenly blocked Bai He's way and shouted.

"I'm here to take part in a crusade against demons."

Looking at the two soldiers in front of him, Bai He smiled slightly and said.

"Participating in a crusade against demons?"

Looking at Baihe, the two soldiers glanced at each other, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

"Okay, come with me."

One of the soldiers stepped forward to face the White River Channel.

Following the soldiers, Bai He passed all the way through the royal city to a palace that covered an extremely large area, standing in front of the gate of the palace, the soldiers faced Bai He.

"Go inside, someone inside will arrange a room for you, Aini? Queen Cid is leading the knights to fight the bandits in the vicinity, preparing for the battle against the demons, you who participated in the crusade against the demons will wait here for the time being, and tomorrow or when the queen is free to come and test you, and you can only officially join the crusade team when you pass the test, so you can prepare here before that. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Bai He to answer, the soldier turned and left.

Watching the soldiers walk all the way, Bai He turned around and pushed open the gate of the palace.

Entering the palace, someone immediately came to greet him, and when he saw Bai He, the person who came was obviously a little shocked, such a handsome and tall man, and he also had silver hair, which was very, very rare in the Alan Kingdom.

"Your Excellency, please!"

The person who came was a manservant from the palace, and following the manservant, Baihe walked all the way through the courtyard, and on the way, Baihe saw the maid who was trimming flowers and plants, and also saw the tall soldiers on patrol.

It seems that this Aini? Cid is very precautionary!

Bai He couldn't help but say in his heart.

There are soldiers stationed here, it should be afraid that these warriors who have come to participate in the crusade against the demons will make trouble, this is the royal city, in Aini? Under the leadership of Cid, the knights of the kingdom are preparing for the conquest of demons outside, and if there are no troops left, it will be difficult for these warriors to make trouble.

Along the way, the manservant finally led Shirakawa to an armory, and in front of the door of this armory, two tall soldiers in silver armor guarded the door.

Of course, the height here is relative, and the height of these silver-armored soldiers is not more than one meter eight, which may be considered tall compared to other ordinary Fraser people, but there is a gap compared to Bai He, who has reached a height of nearly two meters after martial arts cultivation.

"Your Excellency, please go in and pick up armor and weapons."

Standing in front of the door of the armory, the manservant faced the white river channel.

"Pick up armor and weapons?"

Bai He was stunned.

"Is that so, Anie? Queen Cid also has requirements for warriors like you who want to join the team to defeat demons, even if you want to join the team, you must defeat a knight to do so.

But the knights are all wearing armor and holding weapons, although this is a duel, but Aini? Queen Cid does not allow the knights to take off their armor and lay down their weapons, because you can't take off your armor and put down your weapons when fighting demons, so for the sake of fairness, Aini? Queen Cid has asked us to bring you to choose your armor and weapons, so that you can fully familiarize yourself with wearing armor and using weapons, so that you can fight the knights as fairly as possible when the time comes. ”

The valet explained.

"Okay, I got it."

Nodding, Shirakawa pushed open the door and walked into the armory.

In the arsenal, although there are many weapons, there are really only a few types, broadsword, rapier, armor, spear, shield, just these kinds, Bai He naturally chose armor and rapier, selected the right armor and rapier, Bai He changed into armor, put on the rapier, and walked out of the warehouse.

Actually, there was no armor in the warehouse that was suitable for Shirakawa's body model, but Shirakawa used some means of his own, so it didn't hurt.

"Okay, where are we going next?"

Looking at the manservant, UU asked as he read the book.

After that, the manservant took Shirakawa to the gladiatorial arena, where many tall and strong men in silver armor were fighting, and then the manservant took Shirakawa to visit some leisure places in the palace, and finally took Shirakawa to a vacant room.

"Okay, my lord, this is your room, the adult should have come from afar, if you feel tired, you can rest first, if you need to learn after resting, you can go to the gladiatorial arena, if you get to the meal, there will be servants to deliver food to the adult, and the small one will not disturb the adult."

With that, the manservant took his leave.

Watching the manservant walk away, Bai He pushed the room open, this is an ordinary room, there is no luxurious decoration, just a simple bed, a table, a few chairs, and that's it.

Closing the door, Shirakawa slowly sat down on the bed, lost in thought.

"Since Hiko is here to protect Aini? Cid's, that's probably in Aini? Cid's side, if he goes to the palace, he is likely to meet Hiko, but now Aini? Cid led the army to crusade against the bandits, I don't know if Hiko followed......."

Although there is no evidence, Bai He is 90% sure in his heart, Yan is sure to follow Aini? Cid left Merlot.

"Look at Aini? Cid won't be back at night, and if he does, I'll go to the palace tonight to see if I can find Hiko. ”

After thinking about it, Bai He made a decision in his heart.
