"Poor Lacey, she has already been deceived once by some unscrupulous man, and I, as her brother, will never let her be deceived a second time - wait!"

Stewart's eldest brother, the "Sassy Tyrant" Pyrot on horseback, pretended to wipe a handful of tears that did not actually exist, and said with emotion in a compassionate tone, but before his words fell, he had already seen a dark and heavy long sword under his nose-

So, he straightened up and remained motionless.

"Stewart, what do you want to do?"

"A duel about honor, how?"

As agreed with Gross, Stewart will arrive for Ensada in a week's time. It was the last day of the agreement, and from where they were now, if they wanted to get to that city, if they didn't stop, they would have to wait until tonight to get there—

Stewart was never a man who easily broke his promise.

But the guy behind him who had been following him all the way from Warm Wind couldn't shake off like a piece of kraft candy - the flies and mosquitoes were annoying not because of how painful the bite was, but because of the outrageous buzzing sound that lingered in the ears.

There is no doubt that Pyrot is such a nasty fly. Starting from Warm Wind Town, until now, he has traveled more than two hundred kilometers day and night, and this guy's noise has hardly stopped for half a moment except when he eats and sleeps, and his mouth that flies up and down has completely become Stewart's nightmare at this time-

However, he is not quite suitable to be angry with this guy, and the matter about his wife Lacey still makes Stewart feel extremely guilty, and his uncle Pyrrot, as a pure scholar and bard, has an infinite combat effectiveness index that approaches zero-

Stewart was very worried, if he couldn't help but do it, he was afraid that he would shoot this guy into a patty with a sword.

"Not really. First of all, I am only a scholar, and I have never disdained such a barbarian thing as dancing with a sword and a sword, and I prefer to use my brain to think; Secondly, Lord Stewart, as Lacey's brother, it is only reasonable for me to let her really know her husband, and not to indulge in a lie all the time......"

Although the sword was currently shining, and the bright reflection on the sword body made Pyrot's face pale with blood, this scholar was still bold in the face of the threat of nakedness-

This is just a positive description, and from another point of view, it is not impossible to say that it is hard-mouthed.

Three seconds later, as expected by the wise Pyrot, Stewart put down his sword, his expression seemed a little gloomy, and after sighing, he pulled the reins and turned the horse's hoof, and said slowly:

"Pelott, the life of a mercenary is not what you think, it is full of hardships, sufferings and dangers, there used to be too many young people who were full of longing and longing for such a day of eating and sleeping in the open, but in the end, they all lost their lives."

"Wait, Lord Stewart, you've got something very important wrong. First of all, I am no longer a young man, I am Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, at the best of my age as a scholar and bard, and my talent and energy are at their peak. ”

In the face of Stewart's persuasion again, Pyrott retorted again - in the past few days, similar scenes have been staged many times, but each time in the end, it was Stewart who chose to keep silent.

The horses of the two galloped through this flat trade road, and with an unhurried turn in the road ahead, a trace of soft golden light through the forest shone on the faces of the two men, and Stewart narrowed his eyes, his face was expressionless, but there was a deep worry in his heart:

I don't know how much trouble he will add to Gross and their sisters by bringing his eldest brother Pyrrot to Ensada this time.

However, one of the parties does not think so-

The early morning wind carried away some of the body temperature that was not much on the surface, and this cold was insignificant to Stewart, a powerful warrior, and Pyrrot was like a quail frozen in the cold wind, he tightened the buttons of his white dress, but how could the thin dress completely maintain the temperature of his body-

Stewart rode faster and faster, and he already felt as if his body was about to be frozen by the cold wind, but the scholar's temperament was extremely stubborn, he gritted his teeth, and waved his whip, so that the white horse under him always maintained the same speed, and followed closely.

……

"The danger of war, Perrot, is unimaginable."

"But war is the best material for beautiful poetry."

These days, Pyrot has learned a few things about Ensada from the merchants who come and go in Warm Windtown.

In that bustling commercial city, once known for its commerce, trade and jewelry processing, the horn of war has sounded, and people are beginning to worry about the future of this city.

Every street in the city has daily controls and curfews; And the trade of some war-related materials has also stopped from the bustling and noisy markets of the past; Large quantities of grain, ores, medicines, and metalware were temporarily requisitioned by the local lord, Earl Lambert, throughout the city; At the same time, a huge amount of money was easily spent by the generous Earl, in exchange for foreign mercenary organizations from all over the world, with different styles of clothing, as well as an equally large amount of foreign war materials.

It's almost a state of war readiness with all its might.

Compared with the solemn atmosphere that was about to come some time ago, Ensada at this moment, even the fresh air after the rain was full of depression.

Most of the merchants had already decided to leave Ensada, and only a few of the brave ones chose to take the plunge and try to find some opportunities to make a fortune in this war - they may have been blinded by money, which was easy to come by, but if they were not careful, they would pay for their own lives.

Mr. Toldo's family ran a large-scale textile business in Warm Wind, selling silk and cloth.

On weekdays, this type of goods is also one of the choices that merchants often choose to make bulk purchases. It was only in these recent days that these usually prosperous businesses suddenly became cold, and Mr. Todo's family and the local nobles could not help but smell a strange smell.

So, Pyrot decided to come out and see for himself - the weak scholar didn't worry too much about his own safety, because he had already thought about it, and the person who was traveling with him was the famous sword man Stewart.
