"Hmph! A knighthood has bound you for three years, and Willford Leader is really a shrewd business. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Elvis scoffed.
"El, I hope you can understand that our family is different from yours, and our family's greatest hope is that we can have the title of Empire and become noble. So, after we graduated, we signed an agreement with the Imperial military. β
Elton said apologetically, he and Sean both came from commoner families, and their father's greatest wish was for their son to become a nobleman and glorify his ancestors, and they happened to be filial children. In this matter, Fama Lux also talked to two people, and the old magician did not agree with their choice, obviously this choice would make them a tool used by the military department, which was originally avoided by the old magician, but later saw that the two people were very resolute, so he could only choose to respect the decision of the two people. It turned out that the old magician's opinion was correct, the first task of the two people was to be sent here as horse bandits, at that time, it was when the Bols rebels were defeated by the Higg army and the Holy See, and retreated to the Great Dragon Rift Valley in desperation, the Yus military judged according to the situation at the time that they must give substantial assistance to the remnants of the Bols who were demoralized after the defeat, otherwise they may not be able to hold their last foothold, so they followed a batch of weapons and food and magic materials, and the two people were also sent here. The reason why Yuss chose the two mages was because the Higg military department believed that mages could play a greater role in the complex terrain of the Great Rift Valley. Later facts proved that the judgment of the military department was correct, and the two of them did contribute a huge force in the process of repelling the encirclement and suppression of the Higg army, and thus won a certain position in the camp of horse bandits. Even when the horse bandits crossed the border and attacked the convoy of the Count of Lorraine, it was because of the presence of two people, they heard the Count of Lorraine report to his home and knew that the target of the robbery was actually Elvis's father, so under their plea, the Count of Lorraine was able to escape his life. However, this also indirectly led to the Count of Lorraine recalling Elvis back to the family, and later when the horse bandits attacked the Lorraine family's wine estate again, Elvis was caught here, and it can be said that they were also responsible for Elvis being arrested, but it was also because they were here that Elvis was not abused by the horse bandits, but was entertained with good wine and food.
The world is so coincidental, but Elvis is obviously very unimpressed by the choice of the two people, and has made sarcastic remarks more than once.
"Haha! You guys are so naΓ―ve! Do you really think that if you have a title, they will identify with your noble status? It's useless, you are still a lowly commoner in their eyes, and what they really care about is whose blood flows from your body. β
Elvis said with a sneer, he was well aware of the unfairness brought about by this difference in blood.
"El, you shouldn't say that about them, although all men are not created equal, but the power to pursue the life they want is equal. β
While the three of them were talking, Alan had already walked back and heard Elvis's last words, and retorted.
"Alan, you're back so soon, what is Bols looking for you?"
As soon as the three of them saw Alan coming back, they immediately gave up the topic they had just discussed, gathered around, and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, he just asked about our meeting, cared about my daily life, and wanted to arrange a few women to spend the long night with me, but I refused. However, these are just superficial politeness, his real intention is to tell me that it is raining heavily outside today, and it is extremely dangerous to move in the rift valley on a rainy day, so he persuaded me to stay in the valley for a few days, and then send me out to contact my people when the weather is clear, but at present, it is estimated that the rain will not stop for a short time, so I may have to stay here for a few days. β
"It's as simple as that?"
Sean felt a little strange, Bols was not a person who did everything, and he didn't need to tell Alan in person about such a trivial matter, just arrange for someone to notify him.
"I don't think it's that simple, it's dangerous in the valley on a rainy day, but it's not enough to walk at all, I think he's deliberately dragging you here for this reason, and I don't think he'll let you go at all until the food is all in hand. β
Elton analyzed on the side.
"That's right, that's my opinion, even if it doesn't rain today, he will find a way not to let me go, because he doesn't fully trust me at all, and at this time his men are probably leaving the rift to look outside for traces of my people, and judging by what they have detected, whether I told them the truth yesterday. β
Alan nodded, he completely agreed with Elton's analysis, although the horse bandits relied on Yuss for assistance, but they knew in their hearts that Yuss was also using them, so even if he confirmed his identity as Yus, he also did not trust.
"In that case, Alan, you better hurry up and find a way to leave, it's too dangerous to stay here. β
Sean didn't expect Bols to be so cautious, and if he found out that Alan was telling a lie, Allen's life would be in danger almost immediately.
"Don't be afraid, although not all of what I said last night is true, but not all of it is false, my identity is fake, but the food is true, and what they are checking now is the real part of my words, which will help win their trust. β
Alan said with a relaxed expression.
"Alan, what exactly are you planning, tell us about it and see how we can cooperate with you. β
Sean asked.
"It's a long story, sit down, and I'll talk to you slowly. β
The four of them sat in a circle, and Alan continued the unfinished topic of last night, starting from tracking down the arrow cluster left by the murderer, and ending with the agreement with Holance, when Alan told Elvis that the purpose of his visit was not only to rescue Elvis, but also to eliminate the Bolshorse bandits, Sean and Elton jumped up from the ground at once.
"What!? In addition to saving El, you are here to get rid of Bols and break up the Bols bandits?"
Sean and Elton barely fainted from what Allen said.
"I wondered, I was caught by horse bandits, how could you know so quickly, there was such a coincidence. Isn't it just a bunch of horse bandits, what's the matter? Are you scared?"
However, Elvis was very calm, not taking the Bols horse bandits to heart at all, and even had the heart to continue to laugh at Sean and Elton.
