When I pulled out my second sword, it was to protect my loved ones. - Black-clad Sword Saint Crito

----------------

"You're the ...... during the day," Roy was stunned in the middle of his words, he didn't know what to call it.

The lady in front of him was more gentle and beautiful than any woman in the town, and he wanted to call her sister, but he was a little apprehensive. After all, when the other party stayed in the hotel, he was followed by a large number of people, and he looked vicious.

"That's right, it's me."

Surya helped Roy off his horse and turned to look at Old Hank.

"Remember me, Uncle Hank."

Old Hank felt that the short-haired girl in front of him was familiar, and he seemed to have seen her somewhere.

"Let me remind you, four years ago you helped a girl who claimed to be a smuggler escape from the blockade of the Misty Forest......"

"Susie?" Old Hank was shocked, he still remembered that it was Mrs. Arrais who instructed him to do this, and he transferred a total of 6 people in that batch, half of whom were blonde, and this girl was the most beautiful, so he was very impressed.

Wait a minute......

Old Hank seemed to vaguely grasp something. Although he had never met Miss Surya, the fiancée of the Third Prince, he had vaguely heard that "Rose of the Morning Star" had beautiful blonde hair. Plus the news that Nathan and Sokan sent with their lives not long ago.

Could it be ......

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he even regretted that he had called out the name "Susie".

"Menia? Sandy? He added two more names. You're Shanti, aren't you? I remember. ”

Surya was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that the other party's train of thought had crossed almost half of Luokan at that moment just now.

"You're mistaken, I'm Susie."

"Oh...... Miss Susie, I really don't remember...... ...... you are," he wiped his sweaty forehead and glanced over the two of them, glancing at the approaching guards behind him. "There may be some misunderstanding here, I'm not a horse thief, I'm not a human trafficker, I'm really not ......"

"I understand, I heard your conversation just now." Surya smiled, then looked at Roy.

"Are you friends with Dabai?" She asked.

"Of course!" Roy didn't understand what was going on, but the question couldn't have been simpler.

"Are you willing to part with him?"

Roy shook his head.

"Then why would you want someone else to take it?"

"Because Dabai should run first! Dabai is the most powerful, and there is no horse in the horse farm that can compare to it! ”

"What about you? Aren't you with it? The girl asked again, her eyes sparkling.

"I ...... We will be separated for the time being. But," Roy pursed, a little sad, but still firm. "I'll try to catch up with it, and from tomorrow I'll drink an extra glass of milk and eat two more slices of rye bread every day, and I'll definitely be able to!"

"You'll be together." Surya touched Roy's little head and said softly.

……

Faun is nervous right now.

During the night patrol, someone said that a floating corpse was found in the Qifeng River, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly went to fish, but when he fished it up, it was just a few pieces of rags wrapped together, which happened to be entangled with straw, so it was easy to be misunderstood, but just when he thought it was a false alarm, a sharp-eyed young man recognized that this was the clothes of the bear child of the Iwan......

However, now it has been cut to pieces......

So he hurriedly knocked on the door of Iwan's house, and sure enough, he found this kidnapping incident of a bad nature! The other party also stole a horse! So when he saw that the traffickers who kidnapped Roy were forced to stop, he couldn't be happier, and secretly scolded the damned horse thief, and while not letting go of even the children, he whipped the horse's buttocks and increased his speed.

When he got closer, he noticed a beautiful lady, the one he had seen during the day.

"She's freshened the air throughout Creek Town."

One of the guards' companions commented.

"Yu Yu—"

He stopped his horse, rolled over and jumped down, his movements were standard, and he didn't drag the mud and water in the slightest.

In front of the beautiful lady, under his leadership, all the members of the guard played exceptionally well, and their movements were uniform.

"Hello, beautiful lady, did you catch this horse thief?"

"I'm not a horse thief!" Old Hank shook his fist in anger. "This little bastard is."

"Hahaha......"

The members of the guard burst into laughter.

Faun also laughed: "You can say this kind of joke as an adult?" Don't think I didn't notice you wandering around town for a week, if it weren't for your fox tail well hidden, I would have shot you under that crooked-neck tree. ”

"Captain Faun," Brando had dealt with the other party during the day, so Suria knew his name.

"In fact, the situation is indeed as he said, Roy ran out on his own, and there are some misunderstandings in this."

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

Faun's face was also a little ugly, and he couldn't help frowning, and his hand slowly touched the short sword at his waist.

"This lady ...... You wouldn't be accomplices, would you? ”

At this time, there was another commotion from behind, and it was Ivan, the owner of the horse farm, who rushed over with a few servants, although he had many good horses, but his movements were obviously not as fast as the guards.

"I knew it was you!!"

As soon as Ivan landed, he ran over angrily, and it seemed that he was going to beat up old Hank.

"I knew you were thinking about my good horse, but I didn't expect you to be a human trafficker! You bastard! ”

"Mr. Ivan." Surya stood in front of him, and the murderous aura on his broadsword made Ivan take a few steps back.

Roy hurried over and grabbed her skirt armor. "Sister...... Sister, my dad is a good person......"

"I know." The girl put away her sword. "But it calms him down."

She turned to Ivan. "Mr. Ivan, I can testify that Mr. Hank has no ill intentions, and that everything tonight was just a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Ivan pulled his son behind him, holding a few wet rags in his hands. "This is Roy's clothes, it was all cut into pieces and thrown into the river, you say it was a misunderstanding? Besides, who are you, and on what basis do you testify? ”

"As you can see, Suria Edwards, is this identity enough?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence around them for a moment.

Roy turned his little head and looked at the people who were petrified, very puzzled. Is this long name that scary?

After a while, Faun asked in a trembling voice, "Yes...... Rose Morning Star ...... No, Rose of the Morning Star, Miss Soulia? ”

He can't wait to smoke himself with a big mouth, how can he mix garlic at this time.

Surya nodded, "If that's not enough." She suddenly shouted into the air, "Principal Wynne, can you help me prove my identity?" ”

The white light flashed, and at some point, Wynne, who had put on the principal's uniform, appeared in front of everyone. He just floated in the air, his gold-edged white robe windless and automatic, and his face was full of holiness.

Although Ximu Town is located on the banks of the Qifeng River and is connected to the Misty Forest and the Kansa region, few mages pass through here. Seeing Wynne like a god, most people no longer doubt Surya's identity.

"But Miss Surya is not ...... Morrowind"

"This is secret training." Wynne explained with a smile, "So please keep it a secret for us. ”

"Of course!"

Faun patted his chest excitedly, and everyone hurriedly learned from it.

When Ivan came back to his senses, he was at a loss.

"Su ...... Su ......"

"Mr. Ivan." Seeing his embarrassment, Surya took the initiative to ask, "Is this horse of yours for sale?" ”

Ivan's expression suddenly became wonderful, and at that moment his face seemed to be full of stories.

Reluctance, excitement, timidity, anticipation, and relief, this expression alone is enough to write a novel.

"And I want to take Roy and I'll make him a great rider." The girl explained, "If you are not at ease, you can sell me the horse farm and move the family to Morningstar." It just so happens that the Rose Manor is short of manpower, and Rupert's butler can't be busy alone, what do you think? ”

Happiness came too suddenly, and Ivan was stunned.

In that moment, he thought he had seen Mia.

……

In the woods not far away, two figures were hidden behind the trees.

"Is that what you expected, Mr. Shans?" Brando asked.

Lancelot shook his head.

"It's a windfall, it should have been a time of confusion for her," he smiled. "But that's fine, I'll preach more."

"Forgive me, what the hell do you want to do?"

"That's what Mr. Rhein should have done." Lancelot explains: "He asked Suria to take the fencing apart to prepare for the duo in the future. So I guess he also told Surya how to judge whether a man is reliable or something, which is even more convincing if he is a charismatic man himself. ”

Brando couldn't help but laugh: "Is he so sure that Miss Soulia's future partner is a swordsman?" What's more, she still has a marriage contract. ”

"If her partner is a mage, can she still use combo? Why, do you think she will really be with an ordinary person, you are also past the age of reading knight novels. Lancelot smiled: "As for the engagement, I have never been able to figure out how a fifteen-year-old girl who has not even touched the threshold of the realm can evaporate from the world in front of everyone's eyes and escape so far...... I heard that President Brando was very active at that time, and he was looking for a mage to follow, but now he has found it? ”

"Huh...... Mr. Shans laughed. Brando immediately changed the subject. In that case, why are you letting her practice from scratch now? ”

"It's still the same reason, because her future partner is a mage, so she has to wield two swords alone." Lancelot paused and suddenly asked him, "Has anyone who is good at 'Star Slash' ever said something like, 'When I pull out my second sword, it's to protect my loved ones'?" ”

"You're talking about the black-clothed sword saint Critto more than four hundred years ago?"

"Probably...... It's him. Lancelot couldn't remember the guy's name, he just remembered that he had taught him Star Slash and threw him a line of play. In exchange, the other party wanted to protect the morning star for him for a hundred years, but he didn't wait for that guy to learn, and before the deal began, he was attacked by Izu, and then somehow went to the Sky of the Wind and was saved by Piper Not to mention a new name.

But judging by Brando's awe-inspiring look at the mention of that person, the guy clearly didn't lie to himself.

Today's children have great memories that people remember more than 400 years ago. He was a little emotional.

"In fact, both are dual sword streams, 'Rose Swordsmanship' and 'Star Slash' both focus more on will, the former is both offensive and defensive, and the latter sacrifices his life to attack, both of which have extremely high requirements for faith. The reason why they are difficult is because many people have forgotten why they hold the sword and what they are after...... President Brando, this shouldn't bother you, right? ”

Brando nodded, he had never been confused about this.

"So, I'm just helping little Sullya find out. Presumably she's found it now. ”

With that, he flicked the ash off his body.

"Let's go, there will be many children in the team tomorrow, I don't know how noisy it is, take advantage of the fact that I can sleep a little more now."

"Mr. Shans," Brando called out to him. "Since your intention was to help her find out, why did she have short hair?"

"I don't know." Lancelot spread his hands innocently. "I just wanted to test her briefly, but the child's determination was beyond my imagination...... It's okay, the president will come back. After all, I also had long hair when I was younger. ”
