Saria's mood was very happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In a few days, she will become an official magician, completely free from the status of a magical apprentice.

She held a large pile of magic books in her arms, humming a song in her mouth, and walked towards her mentor's room.

Take a look through the door.

As usual, the instructor sat in a luxurious chair with a volume of magical lecture notes in his hand.

However, in a slight departure from the usual, at this moment, in front of her stood a knight in armor.

"Please, Elul-sama, please help us."

"Oh, is that again?"

"Yes, I'm ashamed, but we don't have any way back now, so please accept our commission."

Saizeriya recognized the identity of the knight in the room at a glance.

He was the head of the lower knights of the King's Army, Jester.

Saliya placed the magic book on the desk in the room, and looked at the two people in the room.

"Saria." The mentor looked at his apprentice, "I still have to talk to the knight here, you made this volume for me at the desk over there, and the answer is in the magic book you brought here, and you proofread it yourself after you finish it." ”

"Understood." Saliya bowed slightly, walked to another table in the room, and found a chair to sit down.

There was already a test paper on the table, on which were the theoretical questions related to magic. As an apprentice magician, Saizeriya had to do at least one every day.

“…… This. Jester frowned and glanced at Saria.

"What's wrong?"

"No...... It's nothing. Jester shook his head.

In his opinion, now was an important time for him to talk to his mentor, and those who had nothing to do with it should be avoided, but the mentor deliberately left Saizer by his side, which made Jester very puzzled, and even felt that he was being slighted.

However, he was asking for something after all, so he opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end.

"Hmph."

Noticing the other party's gaze, there was a sense of pride in Saria's heart.

Especially when I saw the poor head of the Knights come to look for the mentor twice in three days, the pride of being a member of the future magician came from the bottom of my heart.

"Saria." There was a hint of anger in the mentor's voice, "Don't be distracted. ”

"Ah, yes." Saliya nodded, and quickly started her pen.

Saliya said so, and her ears couldn't help but listen to the conversation between the two.

"So, ...... commission just now?"

"Forgive me for refusing, I'm old now, but I can't go to the battlefield like you young people, and I'm out of breath just by walking out of the city."

"Rest assured, we can prepare a horse for you."

"Do you want my old bones to fall apart? I can't stand the bumps. The mentor waved his hand, indicating that it was non-negotiable.

Jester gritted his teeth, a look of unwillingness.

Seeing this scene, Saizeriya couldn't help but sympathize with the knight leader.

A few days ago.

Due to the continuous attacks of demonic beasts from nowhere, the king's army was forced to cooperate with the barbarians in the form of confrontation with the rebels on the premise that the rebels took the initiative to sue for peace.

However, on the fifth day after the signing of the Entente, the alliance broke up.

At the same time, the largest city in the county, known as the ancient capital, was also occupied by the rebels, and the king's army was left with only one city in the county, the city of Yeovil.

The reason for the breakup of the alliance is still unclear, both sides accuse the other side of tearing the treaty first, but the occupation of Bath is devastating, the damage to the King's army is devastating, Bath as the only logistics supply of the King's army, has a decisive strategic significance, the loss of Bath is equivalent to the loss of the King's army in the future.

Even the inhabitants are the same.

And that's not all, after the alliance broke up, Warcraft's offensives became more frequent. The city wall became full of holes and gradually could not be repaired, and when the people in the city were panicking, the rebels actually announced that they were willing to continue the work of expelling the demonic beasts because of their pity for the masses, and they also planned to immediately send several batches of food to help the inhabitants of the city.

It's ironic that it's a matter of robbing the king's army of supplies, but it's acting as if it's for the relief of the people.

But the food has indeed been delivered, and the Warcraft is indeed not coming.

Due to the lack of supplies, the king's army had to receive assistance from the people from time to time, even to the point of spending money to buy them.

After all, the population of the king's army was a quarter of the city's residents.

The rebels' propaganda campaign did not stop, and they seemed to see that the situation was good, claiming that the siege of the city was caused by the king's army's support of the corrupt court, and they advised the king's army to surrender immediately, and at the same time expressed their willingness to accept the displaced people who fled to them, and give them warm homes and plenty of food.

This statement greatly increased the people's favorability towards the rebels, and also provided a reason for the siege of Warcraft to be unreliable, but there was no evidence to refute it, although the king's army repeatedly reassured the people not to listen to rumors, but the stark contrast between the king's army and the rebels in these days has caused the people to generally disbelieve them.

Discontent and suspicion gradually built up until they exploded, and some of the city's inhabitants fled from the city overnight to the point of brazenly demanding that the king's army let them leave.

Out of chivalry that could not embarrass the people, the king's army agreed to open the gates and let them go.

However, the most fundamental problem has not yet been solved.

"There's no way back." Jester said, "If I'm not mistaken, the barbarians and the rebels probably cooperated. ”

"Oh?"

"As soon as our supply convoys leave the city, they will be stopped by the barbarians, and they will not be able to reach the other counties at all...... The army has also been unable to distribute supplies since yesterday, and as the inhabitants of the city gradually lean towards the rebels, if we do not choose to take the initiative to fight and defeat the enemy, we will all be trapped in the city. ”

"Retreat is also a method." The tutor mentioned it quietly.

"This ...... The option is non-existent for us, because we are knights. Jester smiled bitterly, "Even if there is only one citizen left in the city, we will protect it to the end." ”

"Even if they do that to you?"

"It doesn't matter, a junior knight is also a knight, so to speak."

Jester tapped his chest, his eyes determined

There were three knights in the King's Army. Among them, the Lower Knights are the weakest of all the knights, although they have the largest number, but the average strength of their members is between regular knights and ordinary soldiers. In some places, they are not even considered an alternative knight.

However, Jester has a sense of honor as a knight.

So, he definitely won't back down.

"I see, if you can't help us, Lord Elu, at least protect this city for us after we attack." Jester knelt down, "Only this wish, please accept it." ”

Jester is just a martial artist who barely enters the third order, while Ai Lu is a mage in the middle of the fourth order, a titler.

If she is willing to be responsible for protecting the city, the knights who travel with her will also be relieved to fight the barbarians to the death.

"......" The tutor was silent for a while, she looked at Jester's bitter expression and said with a sigh, "You...... See you again the day after tomorrow. ”

"We're going to play tomorrow."

"I mean, I'm willing to take the job." "But that will be two days from now, and if you don't agree, then I'll just say I'm sorry." ”

"This ...... Is there any reason for this? Jester wondered.

"I'll tell you then." The mentor waved his hand, "Hurry up and go, spend all your remaining money, buy a good meal for the soldiers, and last another day, you should be able to do it, right?" ”

“…… I understand. Jester nodded and stood up, "Thank you very much for your assistance, Lord Ellu. ”

"Just call me Mentor." The mentor sighed.

"Well, I'll visit you again the day after tomorrow, Mentor."

……

After Jester left, after 2 hours of hard work, Saizeriya filled out the entire test paper and handed it to the tutor with good answers.

"Oh, it's not bad." The tutor patted the exam paper and praised: "It seems that you will probably be able to be promoted to a magician the day after tomorrow." ”

"Hey, hey." Hearing the teacher's praise, Saizeriya was very happy, "Hey, the day after tomorrow? Isn't it another week? ”

Saliya exclaimed in surprise.

"It's okay to be a little early. After all, it's such a period. The mentor shrugged.

"Could it be ......" thought of the conversation between the mentor and Jester just now, and a conjecture appeared in Saria's mind, could it be that the mentor said that he would wait until the day after tomorrow to let himself fight with her after being promoted? Make a difference?

Are you so expected?

Saria's mood suddenly lifted.

"I'll try my best......! I'm going to clean up the bad guys who invaded the city! I will not disgrace the title of mentor and disciple! ”

"I don't know what you've misunderstood, forget it......" the mentor slumped in his chair, "if anyone comes to me these days." Just let them in. ”

"Huh?"

"The Star of Destiny hints that the Chosen One is coming." The tutor blinked mysteriously.
