CHAPTER XXVI

Hey!! Harry looked at the knights lined up outside the castle and was speechless in surprise, the silver delicate armor glittered in the sunlight, the insignia of three crossed swords was tattooed on his chest, and on each of the strong white horses sat a knight, each wearing a white cloak, which looked majestic, and the mighty helmet covered their faces, although they could not be seen, an inexplicable sense of depression came, there were thirty people in total, and the whole scene looked very grand and solemn.

"Greetings to Mistress Festeria!!" The voices of the knights came loudly and neatly.

"I'm annoyed, you guys, how many times have you said it, I don't need this kind of boring opening statement." Festeria walked out of the castle at this time, and at this time she put on her original gorgeous and noble white clothes, with an unsheathed sword at her waist, and the cloak she wore fluttered in the wind, and her heroic spirit burst out in an instant.

"Report to Lord Festeria, according to your orders, except for the Captain Sola of the second team who stayed behind in Hermai to protect the residents and prevent the remaining test subjects from harming the residents, the other teams have been returned to their positions, please instruct." One of the several knights in the lead, one of them took off his helmet, his long dazzling golden hair fell down, and his handsome face smiled, which could charm a girl who was just beginning to fall in love, squinted a pair of light blue pupils, and rode a horse leading another horse and stepped forward and said.

"Very good, our goal is to return to the imperial capital and go!" Festeria leaned over and looked around, then raised her hand in satisfaction.

"Understood, Mistress Festeria." The long-haired knight said with a faint smile.

Festeria touched the head of the horse that the long-haired golden knight had brought over, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, William, I haven't been looking for you for so long, don't you miss me." ”

The horse, which was touched by Festeria, was humanized and did not let her touch it, and her eyes showed disgust.

However, even so, Festria rolled over and climbed onto the horse's back, and the horse, despite the disgusted expression it had shown before, did not resist her, but glared at Harry, who was looking at her with curiosity.

Harry looked away in embarrassment, scratching his hair, but complained in his heart that this horse was really human, so sharp and intuitive.

"Harry, put this on." Kalia's gentle voice came from behind him, and Harry felt as if he was wearing something, and Kalia crouched down in front of Harry and tied the cloak for him.

"Isn't this the same cloak as theirs? Why should I wear it too? Harry looked questioningly at the small cloak he was wearing, which looked like it had been carefully cut for Harry by Kalia.

"You're going out of the city with us, but you can't ruin the reputation of the Guardian Knights, now you just need to treat you as a Guardian Knights, you know?" Kalia said with a wink.

"Well, I will, I've been a knight of the Guardian Knights since I appeared, no, a trainee knight." Harry's heart warmed, he knew it was the cloak that Kalia had made for him, and said gratefully.

"Hehe, congratulations, our Trainee Knight." Kalia covered her mouth and laughed, and she also put on a cape.

"Is this kid the important person we are going to send to the imperial capital? I can't imagine him becoming like that. The other knight in the lead took off his helmet, his short brown hair, resolute face, and the armor he wore on his body could not hide his burly figure, and rode up to Festeria and said leisurely.

"It's been so long, I'm finally going back, I'm really tired, I'm sure I'll have to drink enough when I go back." Another knight rode forward and said, his helmet was held in his arms, his whole skin was tanned, his snow-white teeth were exposed with his smile, and his bald head without a little hair was slightly reflective.

"Yes, when you go back, you must have a good drink." Festeria said happily, then shouted impatiently to Harry, "Hey, Harry, Kalia, hurry up, don't waste your time." ”

On the street, people gather around the avenue, as if they are holding a celebration or greeting someone, and the situation is very lively, and the knights stationed there need to maintain order.

"Look, they're coming!" I don't know where the man's voice came from, and everyone turned their heads to look at the end of the street.

Lined up neatly, the knights on horseback slowly walked on the empty avenue, at this time they had taken off their helmets and held them in their arms, the white cloak behind them fluttered one after another, and the one who walked in front was the famous sword St. Festria, who was also the head of the Guardian Knights, and she was followed by the three leading knights and Kalia, and Harry, and Harry was followed by the knights, Harry and Kalia sat on the same horse, and Harry sat in front of Kalia, that is, in his arms.

People erupted in fierce shouts, welcoming their hero, the Guardian Knights, one of the three major knights of the Empire, the Knights of the Guardian Majesty, many people will rarely see once in their lives, strong strength and backing, making the Knights famous.

Harry listened to everyone's shouts, observed everyone's expressions, and was inexplicably excited, although he knew that he was not cheering for himself, but everyone's enthusiastic atmosphere still rendered Harry's mood, Harry remembered that this situation was similar to the plot in the fairy tale book, the hero who defeated the monster returned triumphantly, and the people happily welcomed their hero, this situation, although it was not, but the meaning was similar, they were all everyone's heroes, Harry looked at the expressions of the knights, There was no exaggeration, just a silent smile, but the flickering color in his eyes told Harry that they were happy.

The young girl adventurer looked at the knights with red cheeks, and the young adventurer on the side looked at them unhappily, but the peeking glance still proved that he also admired these knights, the children's eyes were full of worship, the uncle roared loudly, the old grandmother laughed kindly, and the young girl with spring secretly sent autumn waves to them, and everyone was both enthusiastic and respectful of them.

At this time, Harry found Ivan and Fina, two familiar people, in the crowd, and they kept waving to Harry, Harry just looked at them with a smile, and his heart was inexplicably happy, accompanied by a faint sadness of parting.

Ivan and they kept chasing Harry's pace, Ivan held Fina's hand, afraid that she would be squeezed away by the crowd, and chased from the civilian area to the West Gate, at this time they couldn't chase if they wanted to, and stopped at the crowd at the door, Fina looked sweaty, her little face was red, watching them panting, sweating, and facing the scorching sun to see himself off, Harry couldn't speak except for being moved, and there seemed to be something in his eyes that was about to flow out.

Harry had also told Ivan with his eyes that they should not send it anymore and go back quickly, but they still stubbornly watched Harry along the way, it was really a bunch of fools, and they all said that they didn't need to send me, and they were like this.

Ivan gasped for breath, but he held his breath and shouted with his hands in a trumpet shape, and the shadow fell on Harry and them, who were now passing through the gate leading to the outside of the city.

Harry looked back at Ivan, who was huddled in the crowd, and although Ivan's screams were drowned out by the shouts of the crowd, Harry read out the shape of Ivan's mouth.

"Come on, you've got to come back, Harry." Harry read it slowly, Ivan raised his thumb and smiled at Harry, and Fina also looked at Harry with a breathless smile.

Harry turned his head, tears flowed down again, really, why do I like to cry so much, I always like to cry, I want to be strong, you fools, I will definitely come back, don't worry.

Suddenly, a white handkerchief appeared in front of Harry, with a nice scent, it belonged to Kaliah, and she carefully wiped Harry's tears, without asking why, just wiped Harry's tears, like a mother gently wiping her child's tears.

A new journey was about to begin, and the world was unfolding before Harry for the first time.

…………………… Dividing line ..............................

The Manster Empire is located in the westernmost part of the continent of Ecent, the Manster Empire is bordered by the coast to the east, the Duchy of Cuba to the west, the territory of the Shiri people to the north, the Xiri Kingdom, and the barbarian Shurima people to the south.

Bach, the capital of the Manster Empire, is on the rich east coast, a place of beautiful scenery, with international cuisine, trend-setting clothing, reassuring security facilities, famous magic academies and countless powerful adventurers living here, it is also known as the holy land of invention, strange things are emerging here, in short, it is a tourist attraction and a good place to live.

To get from Sehelmai in the west to the imperial capital of Bach in the east, you have to pass through many areas ruled by nobles, and considering the rest required on the way, it will take more than a month to reach the imperial capital at the earliest, but fortunately, the empire has recently developed a new means of transportation, and has set up transportation hubs with the imperial capital as the center to the surrounding key cities.

Harry and the others had been on horseback for nearly a week, and had successfully boarded the so-called new means of transportation, the Barbut ship, in a city ruled by a nobleman.

The vehicle, called the Babut Boat, looks like a large ship, but the things that resemble the exhaust pipes of a car and the propellers built around the hull of the ship make it look like it can fly.

Harry and the others gave up riding these horses, and Festeria contracted a ship domineeringly, but the price was not expensive, it was a matter of tens of thousands of gold coins, and Festeria said that her national public expense would pay it back for her, so don't worry, in order to hurry or something, regardless of the feelings of these horses, these horses were put into the cabin.

For the first time, Harry felt what it was like to fly, looking down at the vast land below from the railing of the ship, soft clouds floating in the air, the clouds that were originally far away in the sky, were now close at hand, Harry was so excited that his cheeks flushed, and he reached out to touch the clouds at the railing.

"Be careful, Harry, don't fall off." Kalia said with tea and snacks in a concerned tone.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Sister Kalia." Harry quickly withdrew his hand at Kalia's voice, and looked at Kalia with his head bowed, like a child making a mistake.

"Well, well, I don't blame you, just be careful and don't fall again." Kalia sighed, stretched out her free hand, and tapped Harry's forehead with her finger.

When Harry first got on the ship, he was so curious and excited that when he took off into the air, Harry kicked his little feet on the railing and tried to reach out and touch the clouds outside the ship, but accidentally fell down, but the knight's dark-skinned bald uncle reacted quickly and ran over to grab Harry's feet, otherwise he would have fallen.

However, at that time, Harry was already too frightened to speak, and the whole person was cowered in Kalia's arms in horror, not daring to look outside.

Fortunately, Harry was also a strong-minded man, and although he was frightened, he recovered quickly and ran to the railing to play with the clouds again.

"Haha, Kalia, don't blame him, children are like this." The dark-skinned bald uncle sat at a table and laughed.

"Yes, Kalia, you haven't had a child yet, and you don't know the child's personality, which is understandable." The man with short brown hair was also sitting on the bald uncle, echoing in a joking tone.

The long-haired blond man sitting across from the bald uncle looked at them with a smile and didn't speak.

"Mr. Nabo, I don't know where you got your confidence, you are still a single man, as a failed man who can't even catch up with women, you are not qualified to compare with me." Kalia smiled at the short-haired brown man.

"Kalia, you still talk like you don't show any mercy, and you always expose my scars." The short-haired brown man, that is, Nabo, was hit by Kalia's words, put his face on the table, and said sadly with a tearful sense of déjà vu.

The knights around them burst out laughing, apparently aware of the trouble.

"Alright, Harry, let's go over, there's your favorite apple pie." Kalia ignored Nabo's words and spoke to Harry.

"Hmm." Harry nodded, and followed Kalia over, seated at the same table as the three knights.

Only after leaving Hermai, Harry also began to come into contact with the Knights, at first Harry thought that everyone in the Knights should be very arrogant, but in fact, they were all very good talkers, gentle personalities, they were very friendly to Harry, every night they would gather around the campfire and brag about what they had seen and heard, and the time erupted into bursts of laughter, Harry also gathered among them, laughing with them, listening to interesting stories, and sometimes everyone stroked Harry's hair with their big hands, The dangerous creatures in the wild, as if they knew they were dangerous, hid in the darkness and did not dare to attack everyone.

"By the way, Harry, haven't you always wanted to learn swordsmanship, I'll guide you today." The wave took a sip of steaming tea and said to Harry beside him.

"Huh?! Is it really possible, but I'm just an outsider, so it's not good. Harry said as he swallowed a small bite of the apple pie, some foam still remaining at the corner of his mouth.

Swordsmanship, Harry wants to learn, after considering the pros and cons, Harry decided to learn swordsmanship, there are so many skilled swordsman around him, why not ask some of them, the harvest must be a lot, it is better than magic to study alone, besides, his dead branch has been broken in half, magic can't be used, although he has that strange place called the spiritual world in his brain, there is some magic in it, but this is still not enough, if you want to become stronger, these are not enough, only when you are strong, you can protect others.

"Okay, don't grind, it's enough to eat this before exercising." The wave grabbed Harry and walked to the deck, pulled a wooden sword from the nearby shelf with a wooden sword, and threw it to Harry without thinking.

Harry caught the wooden sword that he threw at him, and then the complimenting voice came, "You kid is really strong, I forgot that things were for us to practice, so it was very heavy, I didn't expect you to catch it steadily." ”

Harry just scratched his head and didn't speak.

"Boy, I'll let you attack me first, and see how your skills are." Na Bo said leisurely while carrying the wooden sword.

"Then I'm attacking, be careful, Mr. Nabo." Harry gripped the wooden sword in both hands, stepped forward on his front legs, leaned forward slightly, and his soft eyes sharpened to stare at the wave.

"This look, and the posture, not bad, boy, come on!" The wave roared.

As soon as the words of that wave fell, Harry moved, the whole person was like a sharp sword, rushing towards that wave, and suddenly came to the front of that wave, the blade of the sword pointed and stabbed at the abdomen of that wave, that wave smiled slightly, the wooden sword on his shoulder moved, and suddenly slapped Harry's sword away, Harry's face was expressionless, the sword held in both hands hit his waist again, and the wave unhurriedly slapped Harry's sword away again, again and again, Harry's uplift, slash, thrust, Harry even opportunistically, wanted to play some tricks, but these were useless, were ruthlessly slapped away by the wave.

Harry gasped, his cheeks were rosy, he was supporting his body with a wooden sword, he was sweating, the black hair on his forehead was already wet, Harry looked at the figure in front of him who was still and was tall and strong and holding his chest, and silently lowered his head, he lost, he lost in a mess, he couldn't touch him at all, the difference in strength was too obvious.
