Lentinion, the western gate of the city.

It was summer, and the weather was so hot that even the wind was blowing with a bit of heat.

Not only the merchants who entered and exited the city gates, but even the guards at the city gates rubbed their eyes weakly, and some of them could not keep their spirits up.

Not far from the west city gate, there was a blonde girl with a double ponytail and a red knight's armor, who was sweating in the hot sun, and hurriedly ran towards the outside of the city.

Her goal was a pergola at the gates of the city. The pergola, which is two meters high and five meters wide, is where the carriages entering the royal capital are temporarily tied to the horses before they are inspected.

There were five companions waiting for her.

The leader was a girl with pale blond hair, she was also a knight, she saw the girl, and said indifferently: "You are the last to come." ”

"I'm sorry, I thought you were at the South Gate, and it took a little more time to get around." Etil bent down, put his hands on his knees, and asked cautiously as he gasped, "Am I a long time late?" ”

"It's been an hour." The girl rider, who was a head taller than the girl with a double ponytail, replied with a blank face.

"Hug, I'm sorry." Etil listened and hurriedly apologized again.

The knight girl immediately realized that she had said it, shook her head and said, "No problem, we didn't have an agreed time in the first place. ”

Etil nodded, and looked at the other companions standing beside her, who each greeted the girl.

"Long time no see."

It was a beautiful woman in a white robe with fiery red hair and a plump body who spoke.

"Yo." Greeting with only one word was a female warrior with long black hair, full of ruffians, and silver pupils.

"Oops, oops, you're sweating so much, I'll wipe it for you." A slender and delicate dancer in a revealing skirt.

The other party took out a handkerchief and wiped it for the girl.

"It's okay to be safe." and a silver-haired girl who looks very young in a tight suit made of strange material.

Seeing his companion, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month, Etil smiled with joy.

They exchanged pleasantries for a while, then walked into the city and took a seat at a tavern.

It didn't take long for the theme of the gathering to be discussed.

"So, without further ado, looking at your appearance, you shouldn't have found that person." The maiden knight gets straight to the point.

"So, is there any information on his whereabouts?"

The crowd fell silent.

Two months earlier, after the catastrophe that had struck the court, the man they knew was gone, and he disappeared as if he had never existed in this world.

In order to find each other, the girls chose to act separately, however, it took more than a whole month, not only did they not find the person, but they even found that they could not even collect a little relevant information, so they looked at each other and found that not only themselves, but also others had nothing to gain, and they couldn't help but fall into a more embarrassing situation.

"Since there are none, let's talk about the range that has been searched in the past two months." The Maiden Knight proposed.

“…… Until then, I have a question. The female warrior with silver eyes hugged her shoulders and said with some unpleasantness, "After all, why do we bother to find him so hard, if the person is gone, he will be gone, anyway, it is no longer a squire relationship." ”

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that!" The dancer on the side stood up suddenly, and slapped her hands vigorously on the table with an imposing momentum that did not match her weak appearance, "He's our master!" How can we let it go. ”

"But he's also a player." The female warrior frowned, "He played with our feelings. ”

"What? You...... Did he do anything? The dancer was dumbfounded, "There are two hits......

"That's not what it means! I mean, he's just like the guys who are now on the North Side United, he deceived us and didn't tell us the truth about the world! ”

The female warrior said menacingly.

"I don't think I can say that." The two-ponytailed girl Etil raised her hand weakly and said, "That person should also have his own troubles, and ...... Lord, there is no problem with us, okay? ”

"Do you really think so?" The silver-eyed female warrior frowned, lowered her tone, and glared at the double-ponytailed girl with a fierce gaze full of questions, "We helped him do this and that, and also helped him scare the king, isn't that enough?" ”

When the female warrior said the back, she lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that she would be heard, and glanced left and right after speaking.

"But that king is not a good man in the first place." The silver-haired girl on the side interjected.

"Yes, yes, and you're the only one who does this and that, who called you a maid." The dancer chimed in.

The word maid is so fresh that no one on the scene is dressed or behaved in a way that matches this image.

Most people would only think that they were adventurers or mercenary squads when they saw them.

But at the sound of this word, the female warrior stood up suddenly, her face flushed and her eyes were murderous.

"Who are you calling a maid!" It's not just shame, it's also a sign of anger.

Judging from her sleek appearance, she has nothing to do with the word maid, but she is indeed recruited by someone as a maid.

It's a lifetime of shame.

However, for the fiery female warrior, the dancer didn't care about the other party's mood, but covered the corner of her mouth with one hand, and deliberately laughed in a mocking manner: "Who is it called?" I'm calling you, of course. ”

“…… Exhibitionist, you TM to the old lady out, the old lady is going to beat you to death today! ”

"Hahaha, what an idiot, do you have to play a duel with me, old-fashioned." The dancer mocked, "It's better to compare than a bed fight, which proves the value of a woman." ”

"Shut up, you shameless thing!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Etil on the side just wanted to stop it, but before that, the girl knight who couldn't bear it had already hammered the table with one hand and said coldly: "Stop!" ”

Immediately, a wave of volatility spread out along the table.

This is the absolute power that suppresses all elements and belongs only to the paladin, and this power makes the wind elements that represent the air around them empty, and the two who quarreled instantly felt suffocated.

"You...... Hum. The female warrior glanced at her and sat down helplessly.

"Hehe, don't be angry, it's just a fight." The dancer also pretended to smile and immediately sat down.

The two of them felt the girl knight's sharp blow, and they gave up their arguments and sat back in their seats, but they were still staring wide-eyed.

Galahad, the light-blond-haired maiden knight, looked at them like this and shook her head with a sigh.

Itil couldn't help but smile wryly.

At this moment, there was an irregular, but menacing footstep in the distance.

The originally noisy tavern became quiet in an instant.

The customers of the tavern couldn't help but look out the door.

In the next second, the black crowd rushed past the door of the tavern.

It was a group of dark-skinned people dressed in the same color of cloth, who looked like toiling masses walking in the direction of the palace one after another.

"The parade has begun!!"

I don't know who screamed.
