A beautiful day has started again.

The transparent glass of the shop windows is dazzling, and the sun that shines obliquely on the spire of the church makes everything glow golden. A flock of pigeons flew in the sky, circling the small bell with a trefoil decoration, and the melodious sound of the pigeon whistle echoed in the early morning of the city with the morning bell of the monastery.

Carl feels good now, he feels like he's never been so energetic, and the world has never been better. He took a serious breath of air, and from the fresh breeze, he could distinguish the salty taste of the seawater, the aroma of fried salted fish, the burnt smell of toasted bread in the bakery, the fragrance of gladiolus clover with dewdrops, etc., the world is so beautiful, so complicated, just a breath of air, contains so much information, worthy of people's attention to taste, serious analysis.

Karl pushed open the door and walked out onto the street, looking earnestly and intently at everything he could see. He looked at the gray-black mottled stone wall, and distinguished its age from the cracks in the wall, its type from the rock texture exposed in the cracks, its composition from the direction of the texture, and inferred from its composition what kind of geological structure it came from.

Carl looked at the gravel paved road, at the carriages coming and going, at the pedestrians coming and going, from the types of carriages, decorations, and the items they loaded, he analyzed their functions, origins, and the identity of their owners, and from the details of a person's clothing, demeanor, manners, nails and joints, and dust or mud on his body, to guess a person's identity, character, where he came from, what family he came from, and what kind of story he might have......

The mark of the "Loyal Knight" gave Carl unprecedented concentration and insight, making him realize for the first time that the world is so interesting and complex, every flower, every grass, every word and deed, is full of infinite information, every object, there are countless places to study, and every person has a rich story, this information is not tightly hidden, as long as you read carefully, you can read more and more details, more and more truth.

Carl now finally understood why Alicia had always just sat there quietly and not spoken, because for her, the world was interacting with her all the time, every beating spectrum, every vibration frequency, every mental fluctuation, was silently transmitting the message of the world to her. For her, the world is so big and wonderful that she can devote all her energy to reading, observing, collecting, and interacting with people, which is only a small part of the countless amounts of information she receives at all times.

Carl now also feels the pitfall of rashly choosing "Alicia's" personality as the object of simulation, not to mention other problems, just this extremely focused vision, the instinct to study and analyze all kinds of information from all kinds of things seen and heard all the time, is extremely energy-consuming and brain-intensive.

After only a few minutes in the "Loyal Knight" state, Carl already felt that he had a splitting headache, his spirit was low, and his mind was almost filled with all kinds of junk information.

"Glory and dreams!"

There was no way, Carl could only clench his fists with his hands, and recited a "vow" with a solemn face, lifting the state of maintaining the "knight's mark".

Suddenly, the state of being dominated by a steely will, observing and analyzing the world like obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the vigorous desire to fight the heavens and the earth in his heart faded, and an unprecedented ease and ease hit his heart, which made Carl breathe a sigh of relief.

"I am indeed not fit for the virtue of loyalty!"

Carl couldn't help but sigh, he not only chose Alicia's personality as the object of simulation, but also chose some indescribable belief as the object of allegiance, and indeed made a great death.

The "Knight's Mark" worked very well, not as well as Karl expected, but it was too good. Karl really doubted that after being in that state for a long time, he would really be influenced by the knight's mark and turn into a fanatical revolutionary who was angry with the ruling class of this world.

Little Lucy didn't come back last night, which made Carl a little worried, so he was going to go to Daddy John's to ask about the situation and have breakfast by the way.

Pushing open the heavy oak door of the tavern, the sweet aroma of ale and the smell of roasted meat suddenly came to your face. There weren't too many people in the morning pub, except for a few drunkards who were too late and drunkenly asleep on the heavy mahogany tables and chairs, and only two or three innkeepers were sitting at the bar eating breakfast.

To Carl's surprise, however, he saw an acquaintance among the bar-drinkers—he had met the young historian Levi at the Abbey of Saint-Sullamel, dressed in a tight brown tunic with a finely carved dagger on his buttocks, leaning lazily against the bar, holding a large copper cup full of ale, and blowing water with a bard holding a harp.

“...... You said you got involved with a miller's wife in a small town in Hesse, and you were discovered?"

"Haha, what is this, I was also in the inn under the Date Plateau, and I had a knight's wife. ”

Levi leaned back on the bar and took a sip of ale, half showing off, half reminiscing, "That lady was supposed to visit her husband, who served in the Knights of the Tall Chicken, but she had to stay in the inn because the heavy rain for a month had washed away the road...... We met on a beautiful moonlit night, dating in the barren rocks, kissing fiercely over the howls of jackals, hyenas, and shepherd dogs, and sprinting ...... lovely."

"It was a truly passionate experience!"

When Levi said that he was happy, he couldn't help but chirp and said with a lot of aftertaste: "You can never imagine that a good woman who looks so gentle and so chaste can be so wild and desperate!"

"Haha, then in the end, you must be unable to bear it and run away!"

The conversation between the men became more and more enthusiastic, and the bard, who was holding the harp, showed a sympathetic expression, and said with a sigh: "Once a chaste woman opens the meat, the unrestrained enthusiasm is not enough even if a man has the energy of a horse!"

"Isn't it? This lady finally forgot about her husband completely, and was bent on following me!"

Levi stretched out his hands and said very decently: "But how can I destroy a complete family! Comforting a lady in loneliness and loneliness is what a loving man should do, but destroying the integrity of a marriage is a sin that cannot be tolerated by morality." ”

"What's more, I had just seduced a duchess in Bohemia, who loved me to death, and wanted to elope with me, but her stern mother sent a knight to hunt me down, but also issued a bounty to the nations. I am in a situation of displacement and precariousness, and how can I bear to let a lady who loves me suffer!"

Hearing Levi triumphantly showing off his love history, Carl couldn't help but ask: "Uncle John, I don't know if there is a notice on your bounty list here to arrest a young historian!"
