Chapter 089: Followers

The sudden display of the Bauhinia Corolla Knight's information made Grant clear about the identity of the person in front of him.

Grant vaguely remembers the background of this quest in the game:

The Mars Empire of Noda, whose ruling power was weakening day by day. Many of the border provinces could not control their ambitions and began to develop their own power, and in the northernmost province of Grimidon, the ambitious Grand Duke tried to annex the neighboring Duchy of Faerun, and he coveted the territory of that Duchy.

If the territory of the Duchy can be annexed, the area where the Grand Duke's logistics troops can be stationed will more than triple the size.

Intervening for this reason, he began to deploy the annexation plan. Because he tried not to attract excessive attention from the royal family of the Mars Empire, he used an attack by the daughter of a marquis in the principality, saying that the Bauhinia Crest Knights were not well protected, threatening to ask the principality as a serious compensation, and at the same time using the mysterious mercenary team in the game to stab the blood of the Grand Duke of Mali, the ruler of the principality, and set off a wave of fog and fire wars. Grant remembers that he had been there for a lot of daily tasks.

In the fog and fire war, the most obvious is a battle in the Leighton Heights, when the battle of fog and fire was the Bauhinia Corolla Knights, the knights had a total of five hundred and seventy-seven people, including five glorious knights who surpassed the official knights, and there were dozens of official knights, as well as a large number of ordinary knights.

What followed was the demise of the Duchy of Faerun and the entry into the puppet regime of the Grand Duke.

The few Bauhinia Knights who did not die were all hunted down by the ambitious Grand Duke, and many of them were hidden everywhere. When Grant received the task of a red-bauhinia crown ordinary knight, he obtained a protector and a lot of materials. Now I didn't expect to meet a Bauhinia Corolla Knight who was close to the official knight-level level.

This was indeed a surprise to Grant.

The opposite Kardas was equally surprised, he didn't expect that this mage lord seemed to have become more powerful, and together with the demon pets under his command, they exuded an aura comparable to that of the war elves. He was very clear about the classification of mage apprentices, and understood that the person in front of him should be a third-level mage apprentice, an existence comparable to that of a formal knight.

"I didn't expect to meet Your Excellency the Venerable Mage tonight, maybe it's my honor." Cadas performed a knightly salute, and he was in awe of the mysterious mage, because he had been revived by a female mage, and he had seen those spells that were beyond imagination and possessed by non-humans, and he had no reason not to respect them.

Even if it was an ordinary mage apprentice, he was still respectful.

"Roar~~~"

Smelling the smell of blood wafting in the air, the plesiotail wolf roared excitedly, and an inexplicable cold light was refracted in his dark golden eyes.

Grant's face was hesitating at this time whether to reveal the identity of the other party, and whether it would bring benefits to him. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that he should try it, after all, this kind of plot similar to a side quest was not clear if it was useful in this world.

"Your name is Owen, Knight of the Bauhinia Crown." Grant's face remained calm, and his slender hands caressed the plesole-tailed wolf's supple fur, his eyes resting on the one-eyed man.

Hearing his real name, Cardas's pupils narrowed, and he couldn't help but stiffen for a moment while maintaining a knightly posture.

"What are you talking about? Your Excellency the Venerable Mage, I'm just a retired mercenary, and this war elf in front of me is because he has been seriously injured, and then I took the opportunity to find him when he was weak, and solve him. Cardas smiled awkwardly, trying to hide his true identity.

He didn't dare to be too careless about the hunt for a duke.

"Oh?" Grant smiled slightly, pointed at the elf's chest with both hands and said lightly: "I saw the long cross mark on the chest, this is obviously an attack swordsmanship of the Bauhinia Crest Knight, I remember it very clearly." But you don't need to worry, before I met you, I followed the mentor and also met a Bauhinia Crest Knight named Leon, and it was from him that I learned about this trick. ”

"Leon." The name was repeated over and over again in Kadas's mouth, and his gray-blue eyes were puzzled for a while, and the memories of years in a row kept him away from the battle, and suddenly from the heavy memory, he found a relatively low-level member of the Knights, his name was Leon.

Thinking of this, Cardas's originally vigilant heart relaxed.

"Rest assured, I swear in the name of the honorable mage, I will never reveal your identity to anyone else. You don't have to be wary, I'm just curious. ”

Grant's slender hands pointed to the sky, following his oath. The Void seemed to have an invisible shackle that fell on him, and it completely disappeared with a single breath.

He knew very well that the stronger a mage became, the more he could not renege on his oath, otherwise the invisible rules would cast a curse and make the oath-taker suffer great punishment.

As a former Knight, Cardas is also well aware of this oath. When he heard this, his face was completely relieved, and he began to ask Grant about the address of the Bauhinia Crest Knight.

Faced with these words, Grant told him everything easily.

"He lives in the province of Kerland, in the town of Tempest, near the city of Bra. If you can go there and look for a middle-aged man named Brissis, I'm sure you'll be able to find him. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency Mage, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where I am." Cardas is sincerely grateful, in the face of the destruction of Wanghuo City, he understands that his home is gone, and the next place to go is not clear for the time being, and it is still very important for him to know the address of a Bauhinia Crest Knight.

"In return for this kindness, I am willing to follow His Excellency. I'm willing to be your squire until we part together. Clenched his left hand into a fist and thumped it tightly into his chest, making a muffled thud.

Hearing the sudden follow-up of Cardas, Grant's eyes flashed with joy.

He understood that although the boundaries of the mission were blurred after all, he seemed to be able to get a reward, and the follower in front of him, who had reached the peak of the ordinary knight level and was close to the official knight, would be the best meat shield for him to gain experience in Wanghuo City. Thinking of this benefit, he couldn't help but look kind.

"Thank you so much, Knight Owing." Grant rode the plesiowolf to Caldas's side.

Kadas said with a respectful face: "Please call me Kardas, the name of Owen has long since faded with the war, and my current name is Kardas." ”

"Yes, Owen." Granette nodded, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "Cardas." ”

"Then follow me next." With a wave of his hands, a pitch-black flame twisted in front of him, and Heiru crawled out of it and quickly ran to the side of Kardas.
