Chapter 39: The Gatekeeper's Wrath

The drizzle was fading, and the smell of dirt and dampness was rolling in the air, spreading over the city.

The grand Ducal Estate sits halfway up the northernmost hill of Feynman City, with impregnable walls. This is not only the residence of the Ferdinand family, but also the highest command post of the whole of Feynman City.

The castle was home to a cavalry camp and a training ground, and the knights trained here were not ordinary Sun Temple knights, but the only ones who could become nobles as close servants of the Ferdinand family.

In the past, the Harilo Empire had power throughout the entire Eastern Continent, and the Sun Temple was not just a shrine to receive offerings from the empire. In exchange for the clergy receiving offerings from the empire and its affiliated city-states, they will take the initiative to train knightly units for the city-states.

Only after receiving training from the Temple of the Sun and passing the qualifications can you receive the Knight's badge of the Three-Legged Bird, which has been personally wiped by the High Priest of the Temple, and become a true Templar.

Since the fall of the Harilo Empire, the Imperial Family, although still existing, has long since become non-existent. The city-states still nominally referred to each other as imperial vassals, but in private they had long been independent of each other. Only when the entire Hariran continent is hit hard by other forces, will they unite and fight the enemy together under the auspices of the Sun Temple.

At that time, Archduke Ferdinand I, who was a mighty knight of the Sun Temple, once made great achievements for the Hallilo Empire in a joint Condi.

Today's Feynman City was a fief given by the imperial royal family.

Under the careful management of Archduke Ferdinand I, Feynman City has changed from a deserted city with a population of less than 1,000 people to a large city-state with a population of tens of thousands today.

And the knights of Feynman City gradually broke away from the control of the Sun Temple and became the most loyal personal guard of the Ferdinand family!

As Hu Tian approached, the stone walls carved on both sides of the Doji Square in the center of the city with the life of Archduke Ferdinand I were gradually revealed.

Hu Tian hurried by, his eyes fixed on the castle on the hillside north of the square, Ferdinand Manor.

At this time, directly north of the tall statue of Archduke Ferdinand in the city, a gate more than two feet high was closed.

Two tall sword-wielding knights, standing to the right and left, their sharp spears crossed together, guarded the first gate to Ferdinand's estate.

"Stop! This is Ferdinand's Manor, idle people, etc., leave quickly! ”

Watching Hu Tian walk briskly, the fat cloak on his body kept dripping with turbid rain. The two big knights were slightly stunned, and without any hesitation, they stopped him directly at the door.

"I want to see Archduke Ferdinand."

Hu Tianmu looked at the gate behind the knight without squinting, and the large copper rivets with seven horizontal and seven vertical bowls were inlaid on the tall beech gate.

"I want to ask him to help save people......"

"Everyone in Feynman City wants to see the Grand Duke for help, a bunch of daydreaming fools, is it so easy for the Grand Duke to let you meet?" One of the knights looked very irritable and opened his mouth to curse.

Hu Tian's dress is obviously not from an aristocratic background, people in the slums often make trouble because of unfair treatment, and as the guard of the first gate, he is already irritable.

When the vision appeared just now, all the knights guarding behind the gate were summoned back to the knight's camp for the first time.

Only the two of them, the lowest-ranking White Iron Knights, were ordered by the captain of the guard to continue guarding the gates.

"Damn, it's always Lao Tzu who drinks the wind and rain, and it's always them who eat meat and drink, and they have to deal with this kind of poor ghost mob every day, and they can't do this job!"

The knight next to him glanced at Hu Tian with disdain, his mouth was scolding, and his face was biting, eager to bite the bastard guard captain to death.

"Damn, don't you just rely on your cousin to be an internal guard paladin, if Lao Tzu didn't have diarrhea when he was selected, he would definitely be better than him!"

The other gatekeeper couldn't help but take a sip, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I heard that there is going to be a war on the other side of the Golden Sea, and it is better to guard the door than to die!" After a change of guard, I'll take you to drink flower wine, I heard that several elf maids have come recently, it must be very cool! ”

"Hahaha...... By the way, Claude has a new auction tonight, and I heard that he is only seven years old and is an elf. It's a pity that it was discovered by Lord Hermes in the Tiger Bone Hill, and when it was delivered, he was already scared stupid, and it is estimated that the auction will not be able to get a good price......"

The two of you said a word to me, and they didn't take Hu Tian standing in front of the door in their eyes at all.

Hermes!

Seven-year-old elf!

Tiger Bone Hill!

Every name is like a sharp thorn, piercing deep into Hu Tian's heart.

"Fei Fei!!"

Hu Tian's face was pale, his temples jumped suddenly, and he raised his head suddenly, and his eyes covered by the cloak seemed to be about to erupt hot magma!

After coming out of the knight's camp in the Tiger Bone Hill, he had never seen Fei Fei and Atul again, and for a while, Hu Tian's heart suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition, like a thorny shackles climbing plow, stirring back and forth in his heart.

Hu Tian immediately took out the two silver coins of the image from his coat and dripped them into the white liquid......

A blank slate!

Hu Tian's heart sank suddenly, if he couldn't even display the image silver coin, there could only be two situations, the other party refused to be searched, or the other party had lost consciousness.

Either way, for Hu Tian, his heart sank!

This scene made him unable to calm down anymore, and between his brows, only the afterimage of the cloak floating in place remained.

In the next second, Hu Tian had already appeared in front of the two guard knights!

The bronze sword was pressed against the throat of one of the knights!

"The elf you just talked about, is it called Fei Fei!"

A sentence almost popped out of Hu Tian's clenched teeth.

"Are you qualified to ask this question?"

The knight's face was stunned, the world has changed, even the untouchables in the slums dare to contradict themselves, is Lao Tzu's knight equipment an ornament? He didn't expect Hu Tian to suddenly rush up and snort impatiently.

"Get out of here!"

"I asked you if it was!" Hu Tian vigorously lifted the little battle qi left in his body, driving the bronze sword against the opponent's breastplate.

"Dang!"

The bronze sword left a trace of barely visible nicks on the breastplate, and almost all of the battle qi was drained just now, and Hu Tian knew in his heart that he no longer had the strength to break through such a hard armor.

But he had to!

"Untouchables! You actually scratched Ben-sama's new armor, you look for death! ”

The man almost jumped up in distress, glared angrily, and suddenly raised a kick and kicked hard at Hu Tian's chest.

"Plop!"

Hu Tian had no strength to resist at all, and flew straight upside down, falling heavily on the black marble floor. The sharp pain in his chest almost made him gasp, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood came up.

Swallow it!

Hu Tian almost roared to warn himself, and forcibly suppressed that bloody breath!

The accumulated rain splashed white, and in the gray sky, Feynman City was as empty as night.

The bronze sword stuck in the dirt by the roadside, humming and trembling.

The vibrating sound echoed in his ears, Hu Tian turned his back to the sky, the drizzle sprinkled on his face, he had never seen such a day, as embarrassed as now, as sober as now.

He struggled to brace himself up, but his trembling hands told him a very helpless fact-

Fighting Spirit...... None!
