When he walked out of Irene Castle, Elwin's mind was still recurring with the expression of Irene when he said that: "If something really happens there, it is likely to have been controlled by the forces of heaven or hell, let you go to this kind of place to investigate, do you call this simple?"

"Is it difficult?" Alwyn said to himself.

If it was just an ordinary opponent, Alvin really didn't need to worry too much, after all, the power of the knight's armor was obvious to all.

What knight could face three knights of the Fifth Detachment of the Silver Moon Knights wearing magical armor and wielding warp and weft swords at the same time? Alwyn didn't believe it.

However, if the other party is a god or demon, then there will indeed be some variables.

Elwyn is someone who has seen angels and demons firsthand and knows how powerful they are. However, he had also seen how the lich ran away with angels and demons.

"Don't we still have a Simon?" he laughed, thinking.

......

At night, the windows of Alwin's living room shone in a dim yellow light.

Quietly, four horses tied side by side were munching on horse grass with their heads down, and George's guards were shoveling and shoveling into the trough the horse feed to improve the food for the horses.

......

"Duke Belshire has assigned us a mission?" George, who was eating, raised his head slightly and glanced at Elwin.

"Yes, it's just a simple little task. Alwyn excitedly said to the crowd, "She needs us to go to Karp and see what's going on there." Because during this time, she lost contact with Karp. ”

Matthew, who was cutting the meat on his plate, also glanced up at Alwin slightly.

George asked as he ate, "Why should she send a messenger over then?"

"Because, there may be some unknown situation going on in that place, so she wants us to go over. Maybe it's also a test. ”

"If this is a test, it will be too easy. It's a bit of an overkill for us to take on this kind of task. As he spoke, George picked up his glass of red wine and was about to drink it.

"I plan that if this mission goes well, I will officially accept you as a member of the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights. ”

Hearing this, George's red wine glass paused in the air.

Matthew's gaze went back and forth between the two.

Bard tilted his head slightly.

Cardina looked at Alvin.

After a brief silence, George turned his face sideways and explained to Benson, the butler standing beside him, "Help me find my way to Karp and see what I need to prepare." ”

After speaking, he looked back at Alwin: "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow. We still have two days to walk to Karp, and by the time we get there the snow should have melted, just right. Alvin replied casually.

......

"Mr. Simon. Alwin gently pushed open Simon's door and whispered, "We're leaving for Karp tomorrow on a mission." ”

"Is there anything I need to do?" Simon was staring at a shriveled apple.

"We need you to come with us, for we are not sure if there are forces of heaven and hell there. If it exists, we may not be able to cope with it. ”

"Need I get a few helpers?"

"Uh...... Probably not, but you'll have to put on your armor. You know, seeing you without mental preparation is a bit unacceptable to ordinary people. I hope you don't mind me saying that. ”

"Oh. From beginning to end, Simon's eyes never took his eyes off the shriveled apple.

"What are you looking at? Mr. Simon. Alvin craned his neck.

"Apples. ”

"Is there anything special about Apple?"

"Apples have apple seeds in them that can grow into apple trees. ”

"And then?"

"Don't you think that's important?"

"Uh......" Alvin didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to smile awkwardly and said, "You continue, I'll go first." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door, closing the door gently.

Simon was alone in the room again, staring at the apple and slowly raising his head.

A cyan bolt of magic floated out of his finger bones like a cloud and into the apple.

Suddenly, the apple that was originally stationary flew out of thin air, and then slowly shattered into particles of dust in the air, but it still maintained its original shape.

It's like a cloud in the shape of an apple......

......

As soon as Alvin returned to the living room, George hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Of course, he wouldn't disagree. Alwyn replied, "Mr. Simon is very talkative. ”

"Okay, then I'll go and prepare now. George, who had been leaning his arms over the table, quickly walked towards the door.

"Do you need anything to prepare? I thought we could go at any time. ”

"There's so much to prepare!"

It wasn't until George had left that Alvin looked at Matthew, who was sitting in a chair on the other side.

Sighing, Matthew said softly, "I bet he will bring his escort and butlers and servants, and it will be immense." You should stop him. ”

"Why stop him?"

"Don't you think there are too many people? ”

"No, I think it's better to have more people. Alvin said, "Miss Irene's orders aren't clear, and we don't even know what to look into. With more people, we can complete tasks faster. Also, if we really can't take too many people with us, we can be separated from them at about the same time, and that won't be solved? If we don't bring them with us, and we find out that we actually need more people when we get to the place, it won't be a moment or a half. ”

"Oh, yes? Looks like you like crowds. Matthew rolled his eyes, "Do you need me to bring all my men with you?"

Alvin didn't think about it, and replied directly, "No, thank you." ”

With a cavalry team, Alvin thinks it's okay. At least they are well-trained and obedient to orders. Forget it with a bunch of hooligans.

Having said that, the other two people in the fifth detachment are all junior brothers of a large group, and it seems that only Alvin is a single commander.

......

That night, as Alwin's father, Bard was busy, helping Alwin pack his luggage, and pulling Alvin to tell a lot.

"This is your first time on a mission, so be sure to be safe. If you see that there is something wrong with the situation, leave nothing alone and flee quickly. ”

"Father, I am a knight. ”

"Knights can also escape, staying alive is the first priority. You have to think, if you die, what will happen to the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights? What should I do?"

"Forehead ......"

"Don't eat what others give, and don't drink anything. Live in the town as much as possible, it's been a mess out there for the past two years, and I've heard that there are still some homeless people, and they don't care if you're a knight or not. ”

"Father, I won't be able to defeat the outcasts, right?"

"Shut up, what if there are too many of them?"

"Forehead ......"

"Don't care about chivalry, even if the opponent is a woman, you can't show mercy. Let me tell you, women are really ruthless when they are ruthless. Especially beautiful women. ”

"You mean my mom?"

"Shut up!"

"Okay, you go ahead. ”

Alwin sat helplessly, listening to his father's chatter.

Cardina sat next to her.

......

Matthew's men also helped him pack his luggage.

"Boss, didn't you say that if you become a knight, you will form your own detachment, and we can all become knights? This time you even brought George's men, but you didn't take us?"

"George is trying to get a full knighthood, do I need to fight for it? I don't need to. You just stay at home, why are you running so far?"

"But we've been confiscating protection money for months, and it's almost impossible for our brothers to go on like this. Why don't you come back and take us back and continue to be hooligans?"

Matthew slapped the other party on the back of the head and shouted, "Can you have a dream? Do you want to be a hooligan for the rest of your life?"

......

And George.

"This mission is simple, but it is very important for the young master. So, everybody has to cheer up. Benson, the butler, reprimanded everyone, "No matter what, we have to get the job done." It's also just the right time for Captain Alwin to see who is the core strength of the fifth team!

"Understood!" the seven horsemen replied in unison.

George sat quietly on the sidelines, not saying a word.

......

The night passed, and the next morning, the three of them gathered at the intersection of Baicheng out of the city, and they all put on heavy armor. And, of course, Simon wore one and rode Bard's horse.

Bard coughed dryly twice, took his son's hand seriously and said, "I won't say more." ”

"Father, you've said a lot since yesterday. Alvin interrupted.

"Shut up, I'm for your good! You've grown up, and now you don't listen to me?"

"I didn't listen to you much when I was a kid. ”

Sighing helplessly, Bud continued: "In short, when you go out, you must be very, very careful. Your opponents are gods and demons, and they are all very terrifying existences. Father wants you to be a knight, but he doesn't really want you to be a knight of the Silver Moon Order. Because their opponents are too dangerous. ”

"But I've been. Alvin muttered.

"I know, so you have to be more careful, your father is only a son like you. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Turning his face sideways, Bud said to George again, "Please help me take care of my son, he hasn't been out of the house a few times." ”

"I will, uncle. George nodded.

Cardina stood aside and watched silently with blinking eyes.

After saying goodbye, the three of them finally set off. Not...... Perhaps it should be described as a line of people. Because in addition to Alwin, Matthew, and George, there are Simon the Lich, Benson the butler, three maids, and seven of George's close guards. That's fifteen of them.

So, their luggage also filled a whole wagon.

Of course, most of it was George's luggage.

Looking at the distant backs of Erwin and his party, Bard's eyes couldn't help but turn red. He took out his handkerchief and began to wipe away his tears.

Cardina next to her could only watch dryly, and she didn't know what to say to comfort.

......

Riding his horse and swaying all the way forward, George walked beside Alwin, glanced back, and said casually, "I find that your father is very good to you." ”

"yes. Alvin replied casually.

"Shouldn't you go back and comfort him?" asked George.

"No, if you turn back, you won't be able to leave until noon. ”

"If it was me, I would turn back, but unfortunately I don't have a father like that. ”

"Did your father treat you badly?" Alvin asked.

After a moment of silence, George replied softly, "It's fine, but it's not that good." He hardly talks to me, and he always talks to me in a commanding manner. It's normal, he has three sons, and if I don't meet his requirements, he can always change an heir. Of course, as long as I remain in the position of heir, he will still be good to me. After all, it is not easy to retrain one of the two younger brothers who have not been successful. ”

"Sounds like a court intrigue. Alvin concluded.

"Almost, I'll go and see!" said George, shaking the reins heavily, and rode his horse away. Leaving Alvin and Matthew with a truckload of luggage.

Of course, there were twelve other people, or eleven people and a lich.

......

Although they were not in a hurry this way, after all, even if they arrived early, if the snow did not melt, they would still not be able to enter Karp, but they were still very tired.

The main problem is cold. There is also the fact that all three of them wore heavy armor throughout the whole process.

"Are you sure we're going to walk all the way through in heavy armor?"

"Or else? You think it's for the sake of looking good? When we get to Karp, we're all going to have to keep our armor with us. It is likely that it is already in the hands of the enemy. Without armor, we're just three ordinary people. ”

"Okay......" Matthew was helpless.

......

"We got to Aspar first, and from Aspar to Kap, it's still a day's journey. We could have stayed there for a while. If something really happened to Karp, it was impossible for Aspar to have no news at all when it was so close. ”

"You can also stop at Aspar and send my men to investigate first. The journey of a day is more than an hour if you are fast. We can wait for some definite news before we act. ”

"No, no, no, not soon. The road from Aspar to Karp is a mountain road. Not much faster even on horseback. ”

"Okay. Anyway, you make a plan, and I will carry it out. ”

"We stayed in Aspa to see if there was any news about Karp before we decided on action. There is trade on both sides, and if the snow melts on the mountain, the merchants of Aspar should be the first to enter the mountain. Or Karp's merchants will come too. ”

"Hmm...... It's a good idea. George nodded.

"Okay, that's it. Alwyn put the map away.

Matthew pricked up his ears and listened quietly.

A cool breeze with moisture blows slowly, and the campfire sways in the wind. Several tents were hunting in the wind.

......

Three days, on the third day, they arrived at Aspar. A small, unremarkable, bustling town.
