Knight's Captain Badge.

It was a proof of the status of a high-ranking officer, and at the same time, it also meant the power to mobilize a certain number of troops—the knight rank was already considered the mainstay of the army, but when this item appeared in the young man's hands, Matthew and Kenneth were stunned.

Or, more appropriately, surprise.

In Elant's military sequence, and especially in Talen's army, the Knight's Medal is not a cabbage that can be obtained casually. According to Matthew and Kenneth's understanding, if you want to obtain this item that symbolizes honor and responsibility, at least, you need to awaken the strength above the middle level-

There may be some "parallel trade" knights in other realms of the kingdom, but in Talen, which is known for its martial arts, this is not possible.

The enemy is often the best aware of the enemy.

Tarun has the strictest military discipline in the Northland, and it also has the strictest system. The Wolf family, on the other hand, has never relaxed its management in this regard.

Matthew observed the face of the young man in front of him, while Kenneth's eyes were fixed on the knight chief badge in his hand—

The other party's cheeks and chin were smooth, with only a few sporadic stubbles, the young man was still smiling, and under the flying eyebrows, those brown eyes were full of vitality, although he did not speak or move, but there was a special momentum of his own.

"Huh, Gross?"

With his name engraved on the badge, Kenneth looked away from it and asked the young man—

He was shocked by the young appearance of the other party, but when he thought that the person in front of him was actually a senior officer with the rank of knight chief, he immediately put away the original contemptuous thoughts in his heart. He saw the young man nod, and Matthew took the letter, and quickly, his expression became serious.

"Earl Wolf and Master Eliot have read the letter, but unfortunately they don't fully believe its contents, because it looks too much like a trap."

Gross said lightly - he sat down in front of the large round wooden table, his hands and fingers clasped on the table, and he did not hesitate to say the word "trap" in front of the two knights, while turning his head to quietly observe their reactions.

Things didn't turn out as he expected.

Kenneth's expression was calm, his eyes slightly out of focus as if he was thinking about something, while Matthew smiled slightly, and handed the letterhead back to Gross, but his mouth was unhurried.

"Hehe, Lord Gross, Earl Wolf and Elliot don't want to believe that this is human nature, but you must have understood something important. This letter, ahem, I mean the contents of this letter, if it were to be made public, then Kenneth and I would most likely be in a situation from which we would never recover. Therefore, I sincerely hope that Your Excellency will believe in all this, and I am even willing to guarantee my knightly reputation. ”

"Your Excellency, however, your assurances are too haphazard."

Gross's words were sharp, and there was no politeness in the slightest-

The other party came to the tavern "Elven Poetry" with hidden figures and traces, and in his opinion, although there were confidentiality considerations, on the other hand, these actions looked more like an act.

Gross had no doubt that in the next second, or a few minutes, the secret box in the tavern would rush into a large group of heavily armed soldiers. The soldiers held their spears or spears flat, and the sharp spear heads flashed with a cold cold light, all pointing at him, a lone outsider—

Therefore, as soon as they met, he threw out his knight chief badge.

Even hundreds of armed soldiers may not be able to deal with a knight commander with great strength.

And his relaxed and pleasant attitude towards Matthew and Kenneth is to show these two that he doesn't care about each other's backhands at all-

In fact, if everything is true as the letter says, the two knights in front of him would never care too much about his attitude, and if there is a trap in front of him, then it no longer matters what his attitude is towards Matthew and Kenneth.

Gross had already prepared for the worst—

His companion had come to the southernmost part of Nogo this time, but out of his usual caution and carefulness, Gross did not let everyone into the city with him, and he was the only one who had actually set foot in Ensada at nightfall.

At this time, Miss Lady's secret magic flying feather was already in his pocket, and even if the situation was critical, it was always easy to escape—the walls and closed gates could not stop a bird.

When Gross's voice fell, the atmosphere in the room seemed to fall into a cold silence—

Matthew's expression was gloomy, and in the face of the other party's questioning, he wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say it for a while; And his closest friend, Kenneth, who is also one of the "Three Horsemen of Morin", stood up from his seat and looked coldly at the young man he met for the first time.

Even though the other party had become a formidable high-ranking officer at a young age, such an unfriendly attitude towards them, and towards the two of them who were well-known in the whole of Nogo and even in the whole of the Northlands, such an unfriendly attitude had undoubtedly deeply angered them.

"If you don't want to believe it, you can leave!"

He said in a deep voice—but as soon as he said so, Matthew suddenly got up and stopped the young man on the other side of the round table. Matthew only smiled bitterly at Kenneth's move, the current negotiation is like a negotiation between businessmen, even if it is deadlocked for a while, it has to be stubborn to continue, meaningless willfulness, although it is temporary, but after all, it cannot solve the current situation.

It's never advisable to shoot two or break up!

"Wait! Gross, I know it's hard to trust you with just a few words, but if you're willing to join me to the Church of the Celestial Grace on Palm Street, you may find evidence of what the epistle says. ”

Matthew's eloquence has always been good, but the matter at the moment is extremely important, and he knows that gaining the trust of the other party is extremely crucial-

Since he couldn't convince this young man, he quickly thought of the priest in the local church, the high-ranking priest of the Holy Radiance Church, Esquea. As for the aura of the undead in the city, Askya has quite enough evidence -

The lord to whom they were allegiated, Count Locke Lambert, had been completely transformed into an unclean and evil undead.

"Matthew, I know you've always been a loyal, upright, and brave knight, but for now I have to tell you a terrible reality."

At this moment, Matthew's memory went back to half a month ago, he was standing in the corridor of the church, the silver light shining on the top of his head and boots, and the priest Lady Askia said to him with a serious face.
