87 The Judgment of the Seven Sons (10)

The old knight died, the night he was canonized as a knight.

And the reason why he insisted on following the road Lan Li also learned that he wanted to be buried in the plain where his father and brother died in battle, not in a small nameless village, which was what he had asked Lan Li to do before he died.

It wasn't that hard, because the way from the Riverlands Acorn Hall to King's Lands, the plain they had originally planned to take was the way they had planned.

This is the same route that the old knight has been on patrol for decades.

……

Despite the countless deaths he had faced before, the people in the team could not hide their grief after his death.

Most of the survivors have been in contact with the Knight of Lelin for a long time, and although the knight is usually quiet and does not always like to talk, the day-to-day guard has already earned the respect of everyone in the post of protecting the travelers.

Lan Li was also a little sad about this, and even more ashamed of deceiving the other party. It's just that no matter what his mood is, it's inevitable that he will continue on his way.

Early the next morning, the team that had been reduced again continued on the road, and then it was noticed that the green knight who led the way seemed to be different from before.

"If I hadn't known that he was canonized last night, I would have thought Lemon would have been a knight a long time ago." One of the members of the assembly on horseback at the back of the group said to his companions that they were able to ride all of them after the group was reduced.

Staring at the figure in front of him, his companion also nodded subconsciously.

It seemed that the tall figure riding in front of him was nothing special, his waist was straight, and his head was held high in both hands, but he seemed to be more stable than he had seen before.

It's not the steadiness of temperament, but the posture of sitting upright on a horse.

It turned out that although they did not pay much attention to the sitting position of the man on the horse, they still had the impression that it was like a rookie who had not learned to ride a horse for a long time, and although he could ride the horse normally, his posture was not very flexible, and even seemed quite clumsy.

However, at this moment, the figure sitting quietly on horseback is like a majestic mountain, no matter how bumpy the ground under your feet is, it does not seem to have any sense of tension, it seems calm and relaxed.

It's like a veteran knight who has been riding a horse for many years.

"Maybe it's been a hit." Behind them, a middle-aged man on a horse shook his head and sighed.

Although the details are not clear, everyone in the team now knows that the dead Knight of Lelin is related to the up-and-coming lemon leader, and the old man always asked Lemon to run and talk in the days before he died, mostly some words of advice, and the size of the team has been reduced a lot, so they have all heard it.

"What does this have to do with being hit?" Others questioned it.

"It's a big deal, there is a ...... in our village"

……

The sound of conversation behind him was faint, and normal people probably couldn't hear it, but Lan Li was not a normal person, so he could hear it clearly, and he shook his head speechlessly, feeling that the characteristic of gossip seemed to exist in anyone.

But those who followed were not mistaken, he was not very much the same as yesterday or before.

After being canonized as a knight by the old man, he naturally completed the first task of the dungeon, and the reward he received was to increase his riding level to Lv6.

Lan Li felt that this level was already the level that some senior knights could have, and sitting on horseback, he faintly felt like he was one with the black horse under him.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, not so mysterious, but the feasible road is also quite relaxed, and even without paying much attention, he can subconsciously follow the horse's bumps and adjust his sitting posture on horseback, which is enough to avoid some discomfort.

This made him faintly regretful, feeling that it would be nice if he could receive more tasks after entering the dungeon, maybe then he wouldn't have to learn anything at all, as long as he completed various tasks, it would be enough to pile him up as a top knight.

Thinking about it, Lan Li's ears suddenly moved, and then he turned his head to look in the direction behind him.

Six or seven members of the assembly rode horses, two able-bodied ones sat in bullock carts with the two bound captives, and the old knight's grass-covered corpse was placed on it.

That's their current team.

But Lan Li was not looking at his own team at the moment, but at the depths of the fertile field behind the team, his face gradually became solemn, and he even picked up a longbow hanging from the horse bag.

The people in the group looked at each other at this, and then hurriedly turned their heads to look behind them, and then they noticed a group of small black dots rapidly approaching at the end of their sight.

"Enemies?"

"Why did they catch up all of a sudden?"

"Damn it, get ready to fight!"

……

The slightly flustered commotion was followed by the sound of metal weapons unsheathed, relying on the previous battle, at this time, although there were not many of them, they were all dressed in leather armor and iron swords, and even four or five with bows, which was basically a shotgun for a cannon.

The little black dots in the distance seemed to outnumber them, but they weren't without the strength to fight at this time.

However, when the black dots gradually enlarged and could finally be seen, the people in the team breathed a sigh of relief - it was their own people!

"Matt got reinforcements?"

"It must be so."

"Why did you come from behind?"

It was no wonder that there was a loud voice of their relaxation, for it was a group of knights in silver-plated armor, and their rainbow cloaks, which shook as their horses ran, stood out in the sunlight.

That's a bunch of warriors!

The number of warrior sons was about forty or fifty, and the appearance of running together really had the momentum of a large army. Lan Li, who put down the bow in his hand, was completely relieved.

After hurrying repeatedly, the fear was that the enemy would appear again, but at this moment it was not the enemy but a group of church knights, which seemed to mean that they were no longer in danger.

Soon after, the sons of the warriors rushed to the front, and the sound of the horses slowing down sounded repeatedly, so the members of the assembly looked at Lan Li, and when they saw him nod, one of the senior members hurried forward to negotiate with one of the knights who approached, while the rest stood still and waited.

Lan Li found that he was pointing in his direction as he spoke, which was not what he expected. It wasn't long before a middle-aged knight, who seemed to be the leader of the group of warriors, rode up and trotted over.

"Sir Lemon?"

He asked.

Lan Li bowed in response. Seeing this, the other party said: "I am Murray Greer, the person in charge of the son of the warrior of Shitang Town, I heard about you in that village before, let's talk about it alone?" ”

The man had no expression when he spoke, but his words sounded polite, and Lan Li had nothing to do, so he rode away with the middle-aged knight who looked a little stocky.

It wasn't until he was far away from the line that the other party spoke again: "Haven't buried him yet?" ”

It was self-evident who the man was talking about, and he obviously knew the old knight as well, and Lan Li replied, "He wishes he could be buried near the Golden Avenue in front of him." ”

Knight Murray sighed when he heard this, as if he knew something about the old knight, but he didn't say anything, but changed the topic and said: "Your credit is not small, since Sir Lerin made you a knight before he died, then I think I can understand what he wants to express." ”

His voice paused, then his dark blue eyes stared at Lan Li, and said solemnly: "It's just that I can't absorb you into the Warrior's Son for the time being, because I think you still need to be taught." ”

Lan Li was stunned when he heard this.
