A small town on the border of the Glory Empire, still at peace. At sunset, the pale yellow glow tints the entire town with a faint yellowish glow. Far away, smoke rose into the air from several houses.

It's called Granttown, and it's a fief that was acquired a hundred years ago by an official knight named Carl. In the blink of an eye, there have been two lords here.

To the left is a large area of dark green meadows, and in front of a farmhouse stands a few windmills that spin slowly. There are also several factories and wooden houses in the back. Inside sat an old man holding tea and lying in the sunset. Words such as wind and candle in his last years, dying, and dying are about to be grave are very appropriate for him. He lived for more than a hundred and thirty years, and was Carl, the founder of the town.

Taking a sip of tea, Carl's cloudy eyes revealed a bit of memory. He remembered that a long time ago, when he was a child, he lived in a territory called Wanghuo City, where the lord was a baron as Albert and a white-robed mage scavenger. He lived a very peaceful life, but he didn't expect that his parents were slaughtered by the invading orcs and war elves, but fortunately, a mage named Grant saved him and let him slowly climb out of the dark deep stream and have everything he has now. At that time, they broke up only when they walked to the steel barrier.

Because he remembered his kindness and wanted to seek revenge from the war elves, he practiced hard every day, and his swordsmanship level was rapidly improved, and he was promoted to the peak of official knights with his not too outstanding qualifications, which was a few points more powerful than the original baron. And the way of attacking swordsmanship can be said to be deadly. At that time, he was coquettish, killing a lot of orcs and war elves, and obtaining a territory called Blackstone City.

As a result, the kingdom was not expected to merge under the Glorious Empire. There is only one small town of Grant in his own territory. After that, the provincial side gave the territory to a guy with a little background in the background. Karl didn't hold too much grudge against it. Anyway, a lifetime has been long enough and there are not many regrets. No! If there is one regret, it is that I have not been able to see Grant again. Every time I think about it, I feel a little remorseful here.

Carl thought to himself, maybe Grant was gray-haired now. An old man's look. After all, more than a hundred years have passed, and he has survived until now with the strong vitality of a formal knight, and the other party is a mage who will live for a few more years, at most the same as an old man.

As he thought about it, his eyelids suddenly became a little heavy, and his chest churned, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Karl stared at him and tried to breathe loudly, but it looked like something was stuck in his lungs and he couldn't suck it in.

Bang!

It was at this time. There was a knock on the door, and a young man who looked like young Carl walked in. He grabbed Carl's shoulder and pressed hard against his chest, afraid that Carl would not catch his breath.

It was only after a few minutes that Carl felt his breathing in his lungs reopen, but his eyes were heavy and drooping. It was the brilliance of a dead man's eyes, cloudy and godless.

"Grandpa, you're okay now." The young man nervously grabbed Karl's dry palm and asked eagerly. He is Carl's grandson, Carlos. A good player who has reached the rank of ordinary knight.

"Yes, I'm fine. But I'll tell you something today, and you'll listen slowly. Carl smiled, but only forcefully.

"Actually, I used to have a benefactor named Grant. He is the lord of Glory City, of course, hundreds of years ago. He's a great mage, and he's probably alive right now. I want you to go there and look for him. This is my willingness. Maybe I have no way to see it in my life, only you can carry out this willingness in my place. ”

"Grandpa. You'll be fine. You are the pinnacle of a great official knight, and you have been so imposing. No one will dare to disobey your will. Carlos cried tears and was extremely reluctant to tell Carl. He didn't expect that his grandfather, who had been with him, would soon leave his world. Every time I think of this, tears welled up in my eyes, and there was a cramp in my heart.

"There is no need to say these things anymore, everyone can die or leave, the difference is only sooner or later. Anyway, what I'm talking about is that I'm going to do it after I die, so you don't have to worry about that, you know? Hehe, you silly boy......" Carl squeezed out a smile and reached out with a trembling hand to stroke Carlos' head. Suddenly, there was a tremor in his hand, and he fell silently.

He never dreamed that his heart would shatter like an exploding balloon in an instant. Fortunately, before he died, he had already explained what he needed to say without reservation, otherwise he would have been really depressed.

The expression on Carlos's face froze, his eyes gradually revealed a little disbelief, he shook his head smugly, and muttered, "Impossible, impossible, impossible...... Grandpa is not going to die. My grandfather was a great knight, and his life was unbelievably long, how could he die. ”

He said the back, his face covered with a mixture of tears and snot. His violently shaking body collapsed beside Carl, and he could no longer muster the strength to stand up.

He sobbed, choked, and vented his frustration. Who would have thought that when they came home normally, they would see their grandfather fall in front of them and there was no way to stand up. This kind of pain is a hundred times more painful than digging into the heart with a knife, and even tens of thousands of times.

After several hours of crying, Carlos gradually stopped crying and hugged Carl's body and buried it in the grass in front of him where his grandfather had taken him to play.

…………

Half a month later, at the exit of the small town of Gebante, by a water bridge, on both sides were lush dark green meadows. Below is a clear river that runs from north to south. The sound of rushing water was heard all around, but at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves disturbed the beautiful music under the natural scenery.

Carlos was wearing a silver light armor, carrying a long sword behind his back, and his long hair on his forehead had long been neatly cut. At this time, he rode a horse and galloped across the stone bridge, followed by two horses closely following him, leaving the town of Grant together. For them, they have now found their goal, looking for Grant.

"Thank you two for coming with me, now, let's shine in our dreams in the future." Carlos clenched the reins in both hands and looked at the two companions behind him with emotion on his face. Half a month ago, after burying my grandfather in the cemetery in front of the house. Conveniently dispose of all the assets in the seller. I didn't expect that two companions who had played since childhood heard such a legendary thing. Without any hesitation, he followed.

"That's a pretty powerful thing. I've been in a small town for a long time, and I'm getting moldy, and there's nothing interesting about it. ”

"Your level is not even your match for the mayor in the town. We weren't in much danger when we went outside. And our own level is also quite powerful, all of us have reached the quasi-knight realm. ”

"Well, let's go on an adventure in the woods ahead. But you have to be careful. Carlos was impressed that his two companions could follow him together, but it was safest to be careful. If a companion dies, I believe that he will be happy for the rest of his life.

"Let's go." An apparently lively companion laughed and galloped, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into a puff of dust and smoke from Carlos' sight.

…………

In the blink of an eye, they advanced for more than ten days. Along the way through two small towns. After the initial discomfort, gradually accept this kind of day in the wild.

They don't have any disappointment or sentimentality, but think that this kind of day of constantly walking around the world and broadening their horizons is very meaningful. The biggest difference between people and actions is that they are not satisfied with the status quo around them, they want to be stronger, go more places, and understand more content. These are human survival instincts.

Anlis Forest, an off-the-beaten-path road to the city of Sicily, is within easy reach of the city. But there are also downsides. The forest is inhabited by a gang of robbers. When they see the weak strength of the passing convoy caravan, they will not hesitate to attack and swallow it, take all the resources, and will not let a single person go.

Woo~~~

In front of a lush dark green grove. The three of them stopped in front of the woods and saw the deep environment, and from time to time a dark shadow flashed. Or the screams of terror.

Carlos, the leader, saw the movement ahead and raised his eyebrows slightly. There is some impatience and nervousness. He knew that there was a place ahead of him where thieves were rife. To be honest, I hadn't seen a thief before or even done it head-on. At the moment, I don't know if I can beat the other party.

However, Grandpa said that ordinary thieves are nothing remarkable, they are all ordinary adults, and at most there are some quasi-knight combinations. Only in the bandit regiment on the border can there be ordinary knights, as for the official knights, such a master can get a knighthood and a large number of territories when he goes to serve the empire, how can he run to such a place to be a thief.

Therefore, a trace of conviction rose in Carlos's nervous heart. He has a blind admiration and confidence in his grandfather, Carl.

"Alright, everyone has reached the border of the Anlis Forest. I think you already know what the front side means, so remember to be careful when you go to the front this time. Otherwise, there is a high risk of serious injury. ”

"Don't worry, it's the first time I've dealt with thieves, I'm so excited. I'll be sure to show them what their grandfather is really capable of. Hey, Carlos, we'll kill more thieves than anyone else? What do you think? A companion named Okarid next to him said with a smile and a bright eye. He is very uninterested in those thieves, he has the level of a quasi-knight, and he is a very strong master in Grant's town, can't he deal with those guys? Ocalid would not believe it.

"Okay, then let's shoot together and prepare to attack each other with all our might." Carlos saw the confidence on his companion's face, and his nervousness was somewhat relieved. Since the two companions are not afraid, their own strength is stronger than them, and what kind of bird are they afraid of.

Raising his hand and sweeping the horse's back, the horse turned into a puff of smoke and rushed into the woods. As soon as I entered the woods, the bright surroundings suddenly became dark, and many dark shadows flashed in the woods.

Far away from the forest, a tall tree with many branches, twisted into a small hut inhabited by the intimidating thieves. They have lived in the Anlis Forest for a long time and have not encountered a decent threat, and basically every time they make a move, the harvest is very satisfying. At this time, in the middle of a white tent room, a burly, nearly two-meter-old man was bare-chested, holding a glass of wine and drinking freely, and there was a beautiful woman lying in her arms beside her, constantly making a numbing sound.

When the big man heard this, his whole body turned crimson, and his eyes burst into flames. He didn't expect that the woman he had robbed and had only been trained for half a year would be so obedient, and even the temptation to launch a riot was much higher than he had estimated.

"No more. You little prodigal, if I don't do it for you today. really can't stand it. You say whatever posture you like, I can be satisfied with you. And I'm going to let you enjoy the joy you've never had. Hey...... I really pick the pose I like. You give me a mouthful first. ”

The big man smiled lewdly, stretched out a hand to hold the woman's head and leaned down, and a triumphant smile appeared on his hideous face. Such a beautiful woman makes this kind of action under her crotch, which is full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Boss! Top dog! A hurried cry came from far and near, from small to large, and suddenly appeared outside the camp account. The big man who heard the voice showed annoyance on his face, how could he dare to come to dismantle the stage when he was doing good things, and a fire suddenly appeared in his heart, wanting to find that guy and then beat him hard to vent the depression in his heart.

But. Dahan also knew that he dared to disturb when he was doing things, so there must be something important.

He lifted his pants, kicked the woman's shoulder, and strode out of the tent, seeing a somewhat obscene, tall, thin thief standing outside. He carried a longbow on his back, and a long, narrow knife at his left waist was slightly raised.

"Oza, what do you need to tell me? If there's nothing important to do, believe it or not, I'll take off your skin and feed it to the monsters. Hurry up and make it clear......" The big man scolded.

Hearing this, Oza had an excited look of surprise on his face. Eyebrows fluttered and danced with gestures: "Boss, I just saw three people coming towards me outside. They were all young people, and one of them was a woman, and she was very beautiful. I know the boss has been playing femdom lately. So I think the boss must not want to miss such a stunner. ”

"Well, you're not wrong. I'm going to see what that guy looks like, if that's the case. This time, even if you do a great job, you will be counted. ”

"Thank you."

When Dahan heard these words, he quickly sent ten people to follow him to the woods in front to see the movement. He has the strength of the pinnacle of a quasi-knight. Even an ordinary knight can fight a dozen times, so he is quite confident in his own strength.

They follow the rugged grass surface. Soon I saw three horses rushing towards me, two men and one woman, and the female of them was very sweet-looking. The long pale blonde hair was tied into two braids and hung quietly on his shoulders, and a pair of towering saintess peaks on his chest were wrapped in silver leather armor, revealing a deep trench in front of him, making all the men secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva. This little girl really can't hold it.

Carlos saw the ten thieves rushing over, and he didn't know what the other party was planning. First, he stopped his horse and drew out the narrow and sharp double swords on his waist and back, and in the sunlight, he could see the blades reflecting a faint golden light. His originally smiling face suddenly became as dignified as a sword as he fought.

Beside him, Okalid and Alec also raised their swords and prepared for battle.

"Haha, do you think you can subdue me with a broken trick like yours? Your head has become stupid, and let Ben-sama tell you to try what is a terrible strength. Don't be afraid. "Dahan has no idea of talking peacefully or deceiving the other party, what can a few young people in their twenties do? Maybe I just think the adventurer is very handsome, so the delicate home comes out.

Because of this, after the big man approached the nearest young man with his sword, he raised it with all his might, and a distorted arc of light lit up in front of him in front of him, and a faint sound of swords could be heard in mid-air.

He knew that his blow would seriously injure even a would-be knight, so he was very confident. He could already guess that the other party had severed his head under his own move, and then warm blood came out.

Many of the others also guessed such thoughts and screamed.

"Boss, boss, you're going to win."

"Seeing the old ambassador come up with his own means, I believe that guy will definitely break his head later."

"That's what I thought, too."

Many of the thieves spoke their minds with excitement on their faces. For them, it's just a small event, and the boss can add to his illustrious history.

Bite!

Suddenly, a burst of golden sparks splattered out, Carlos drew his long sword to block, and then gently circled forward, unloading the five points of force pressed by the big man, and then, quickly stabbed forward with a sword. If there is no way to avoid this sword, it can definitely completely abolish the entire right shoulder.

The big man's expression was shocked, and his heart was even more turbulent, and he screamed loudly: "How is it possible? How could you possibly have such a strong strength. Damn, I'm going to be the guy I shouldn't be dealing with. ”

He knew that the young man in front of him, who looked to be only twenty years old, had swordsmanship that was even stronger than his own. Just looking at the exquisite swordsmanship just now, it is clear that it is at least at the ordinary knight level. Although he can compete with ordinary knights dozens of times. But the result is still to die.

The thieves around were all petrified, and they stayed there one by one in disbelief. Their usually tough boss actually struck a sword from his opponent. Flee immediately. This level is terrifying, and he suddenly can't speak in silence. Even a thief who doesn't believe what is happening rubs his eyes. Silently said to himself that these are all fake, that guy is nothing remarkable, he must have looked away to have such a situation. Otherwise, how could the boss lose to such a guy.

It wasn't until Dahan was about ten meters away from them that everyone looked ahead in shock, knowing that this was the right thing. His own boss can't beat that guy.

"Haha, I'm ready to do it too. You can't let this kid Carlos steal all the heads, Alec, do you want to go with me and kill them all? Ocalid felt a fire rise from the bottom of his heart. Until this time, there was no fear in my heart, I just wanted to kill those guys completely.

Alec shook his head, with a hint of nervousness and stammering, "No need, you guys go and kill." I'm going to find some weak thieves and kill them. You deal with the mighty. ”

The two looked at each other, and after deciding on a plan in an instant, they rushed into the circle of thieves and began to slaughter. In the face of Okalid and Alec, who have quasi-knightly means, how can those thieves who are just ordinary people resist. Suddenly, it was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. There are no thieves who can stand in their way for a moment. In particular, Okarid was covered in a layer of blood, his face was crazy, and he kept waving the sword in his hand.

On the other side, Dahan saw that his subordinates couldn't stop him for even half a moment. I knew I couldn't care about those guys anymore. He knew that it was important to escape, and when he turned his head slightly and saw that Carlos, who was getting closer and closer to him, he had no intention of giving up at all, and he was so frightened that he ran quickly with his horse.

Joke! He is also a quasi-knight. How can you deal with ordinary knights? While there's still a little time, let's get away quickly.

"Where to run!" Carlos has been chasing after him. Seeing the other party's horses like fish in water on the rugged road of the forest, I am afraid that I have long thought that one day I will meet a guy who cannot be dealt with. Horses are specially trained to be like that.

For example, if an ordinary person encounters this situation and his team does not encounter trouble, he will definitely not continue to chase. After all, if you can't catch up with each other, it will be stupid to chase again. But Carlos is different, he is often remembered by Grandpa Carl to be careful and observant. Fortunately, I usually feel that I have strong concentration, so I have come up with three ways to face this situation.

He decided to use a method to subdue and deal with it now, and with a brush, his palm swiped to his waist, and a narrow blade suddenly appeared with a faint cold light. With a shock to his arm, the blade turned into a white streamer and pierced into the leg of the big man in front of him. Having lost his right hind leg, the big man's horse screamed and fell to the ground.

The big man fell forward by inertia, and his right hand was hit by a giant tree. The giant tree fell to the ground, and the big man's right hand was also broken by the crash, and if he didn't think of a way, he would probably be useless.

"Now it's time to take your life." Carlos drew his sword, slapped his toes, stepped on the horse's back, and chased after the big man, raising his hand and waving a sword light like raindrops and landing in front of him. Suddenly, Dahan didn't have the ability to resist and fell to the ground. An unusually large amount of blood flowed from more than a dozen blood holes on his body......

"Alright, I'm going to kill you. I didn't expect it to be so easy to get rid of thieves for the first time. But fortunately, with grandpa's abundant technical experience, he can kill the other party so lightly. I'm still going back and uniting with them, and I'm going to keep going. When Carlos saw that the big man was too dead to die, his heart finally relaxed a little.

He knew that the scope of the Anlis Forest was very large, and he would definitely not be able to finish it today. When you rest at night, you are most afraid of a sneak attack from the shadows. Thinking that he had an enemy lurking in the night, ready to attack him, Carlos felt a chill all over his body, and felt uncomfortable.

He walked up to the warrior and found the corpses lying on the ground. Ocalid stood aside, spitting. Alec on the other side has a pale face, which is also not too good-looking.

Carlos was slightly stunned when he saw the situation in front of him, obviously not expecting this to be the case. Immediately curious, I asked Ocalid why he vomited there. As a result, Ocalid said that he was very uncomfortable with the situation in front of him after the killing. Carlos could only feel speechless about this.

They eliminated the thieves and moved on, hoping to reach Glory City one day. As early as a few decades ago, Glory City, the most prosperous city in the Glory Empire, made them very envious. This time I was looking forward to a task on my back, and I felt incredible when I thought of the Grant mage who had a relationship with Grandpa Carl.

A few days later, they left the Forest of Anlis, and after going through many troubles and unimaginable dangers on the way, they finally came to the border of Glory City. Even a few kilometers from the border, the surrounding woods have been cut down to make hotels.

When you walk to a road, you can see the city of glory, which is full of towering buildings, with its walls erected. Above, there was also a huge city in the air, and countless strange beams of light were suspended, constantly rotating back and forth.

"Carlos, let's go, let's hurry up and go to Glory City to find Mage Grant."

"Yes, after half a year, I finally came here, and this time I finally got here, so I can't waste it."

Okarid, Alec spoke with emotion. For them, they can finally see the results after working hard for so long.

Carlos nodded solemnly, and after seeing the situation of the crowd in front of him, he kept crowding inside. Fortunately, there is an ordinary knight-level behind him, so he walks into it like a fish in water. Soon, under the tall city walls.

On both sides of the city wall stood two knights in heavy armor, each of whom was of ordinary knight level. In the eastern region, only the Imperial Capital of the Glory Empire and the Imperial Capital of Glory City are used by ordinary knights to guard the city gates, after all, this lineup is too luxurious.

Carlos walked up to the city gate and said with some nervousness: "Hello, do you know Master Grant. My grandfather and Master Grant were friends and wanted to come to him this time. ”

"Mage Grant? Your grandfather, friend? When the soldier heard this, his eyes widened and he repeated.

"Yes." Carlos nodded.

"Haha, you guy still dare to say that he knows Mage Grant, what do you think you are, how can you know the legendary mage of Glory City? There are too many people who see you saying this every day, hurry up and get out of here. The soldier pursed his lips disdainfully, in his opinion, even the emperor was not capable of meeting Master Grant, this guy dressed so simply that he knew that he was not a rich man, how could he know Master Grant?

There was also a soldier next to him who heard Carlos's words and thought it was too stupid. Can such a legendary mage be met by a small mortal? Immediately laughed.

"I'm right, just let Mage Grant come out and everything will be clear." Carlos was a little anxious, and there was anger in his heart, he was telling the truth, these guys didn't do anything, they just laughed there.

Angry in his heart, he quietly took out the sword at his waist. (To be continued......)
