After expressing his meaning in a few words, Dai Lan's eyes were slightly closed and he was silent, but his mind was thinking about how to save the blonde girl Emily.

But James was a little worried, he knew very well that the guy named Griff outside the door was definitely a villain.

In the Robertson family, twenty-five knights were kept all year round. They come in different grades. From the lowest-level probationary knight, to the punishment knight, and recently he pulled out his teeth and snatched a high-level knight of glory from under the noses of the rival Jacob family.

A knight of the Robertson family, he was mainly responsible for two things, war and guarding.

In Dundee, there were frequent fights between clans and gangs, so it was essential to have their own fixed soldiers, and ten knights joined the fighting group. Their commander is called Billy, the Knight of Punishment.

The total number of combat regiments is 100 people. On average, each knight had ten men. They were all able-bodied young men recruited from nearby villages.

There were also 10 knights, who were the guards, and James was chosen as the commander because of his loyalty and swordsmanship, and they had another 20 warriors under him.

The last five knights are Griff's intelligence mission. The main task is to find out all kinds of news about Dundee City and the whole country.

From this point of view, every year the Robertson family spends a lot of money on hiring knights. Ordinary country mercenaries are worth three silver crowns per month (one gold louis is equal to 10 silver crowns, and one silver crown is equal to 100 copper tors).

Apprentice knight, five silver crowns per month.

Brave knight, one gold louis per month.

Knights of Punishment, fifteen silver crowns per month.

Knight of Glory, two gold louis per month.

Of course, as the largest family in Dundee City, the Robertson family has never been short of money.

Emily's ancestors, the great Robertson family, have a very glorious history. Her great-grandfather, who once followed the royal family of England on his crusades, grabbed a large area of land in the hands of the French, and was made a duke! And Emily's grandmother is a member of the royal family.

Although their children and grandchildren are not famous, when it comes to Emily's father's generation, her father Jonad . Robertson still inherited the title of earl.

Everyone with the title of knight is blessed by the gods, as well as a large land. King Charlemagne, the ruler of the British Empire, granted a plot of land to Earl Jonad for 500 farmers.

From the land tax alone, the annual income is 500 louis. Coupled with the family's traditional ironwork casting, there were three hundred gold louis.

The knights of the Guardian Regiment are generally higher in swordsmanship and martial arts, and have more access to the core of the family, so their status is very high in Robertson's territory.

Knight Griff, who was down, was a fellow countryman with James, and was introduced by him to get a position in the combat regiment.

At first, the two were quite harmonious, but as time went by, James was repeatedly reused and rose step by step, and Griff became a little mentally unbalanced.

Several times Griff secretly stumbled and hit James. Fortunately, the eldest lady Emily firmly supported her knights, so that James repeatedly saved the day. However, there has been a big gap between the hearts of the two people.

This time, as the head of the Guards, James Knight did not protect Miss Emily well, causing an uproar within the family. Wave.

As the only daughter of Count Jonad, Emily has the right to inherit all of her father's property. If Emily had anything long and short, after Jonad's death, according to British law, the king would take back all the family fiefdoms.

Therefore, James made a big mistake by not protecting Miss Emily, even though the other party was a trainee magician with very hard magic!

It seems that James is in danger, Griff feels that his opportunity has come, he has never felt that the position of the head of the escort regiment is so close to him!

I was still thinking that James would be able to regain the face he had lost in front of him before he died, but he didn't expect that a knight of the royal family of England would emerge and lose his face in front of a group of subordinates.

Dai Lan sat on the soft bed in the cell, closed his eyes and recuperated, quietly waiting for the news, and the James Knight next to him walked around, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but he didn't dare to disturb Dai Lan.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and although I could feel a lot of people coming, the sound was not noisy at all, and it was clear that these people were usually well-trained.

"Click!"

As the iron lock turned, the door opened, and a thin, withered old man stood in the doorway, followed by a number of strong, armoured warriors.

The light of the fire outside reflected on the old man's face, and his dry skin was full of wrinkles, like tree bark. His eyes were bloodshot and his expression was tinged with anxiety. Wearing a neat set of purple muslin clothes, he looks very status.

When James saw the old man, he was slightly surprised, and then said in a very humble tone: "Dear Steward Gerald, you are here. I'm ashamed that I didn't protect Miss Emily. Please punish me in the harshest way possible. ”

The one who came was the butler of the entire Robertson family, Gerald. This old gentleman, who followed Emily's grandfather from birth to death, has been serving and taking charge of the family's tedious affairs ever since. It even has a very high prestige throughout Dundee City.

Butler Gerald glanced at James, sighed slightly, and then turned his gaze to Dai Lan, carefully looking the young man in front of him up and down.

Dai Lan also stood up and bowed down to the butler very gracefully, showing respect, while also observing the old man.

Steward Gerald's right hand moved slightly, and something flew towards Dai Lan.

Dai Lan grabbed it and saw that it was his own royal punishment knight badge, and it seemed that this little piece of iron was quite large.

"What's your name, young man?" Gerald asked.

"Dai Lan."

Gerald said lightly: "Young man, give you a chance." If you can save Miss Emily, you are the benefactor of the entire Robertson family. If you are found to be a liar, then the badge in your hand will not save your life. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old butler made a gesture of please, turned his head and walked out of the cell.

James patted Dai Lan on the shoulder and said gratefully, "Little brother, please do your best to save Miss Emily." ”

Dai Lan nodded, squeezed his shoulder twice, and walked out with the old butler Gerard without saying a word.

The prison was built beneath a circular tower, up a winding staircase, all the way up to the surface.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the crickets are chirping around, and you can even hear the wolf howl in the distance.

I couldn't see the structure of the Robertson Castle clearly, and I could only feel that the high walls around it were like a sad thick barrier.

There are some trees in the yard that can't be named, and the flowers are blooming just right, exuding a faint fragrance, which is quite refreshing.

It seems that the Robertson family is very powerful, and they have multiplied in Dundee City for generations, and they have accumulated a lot of good things from their ancestors, and even the trees planted are extremely exquisite.

No one spoke on the road, and after about five minutes, suddenly there was a bright light in front of me, and a large and magnificent stone-cast tall building stood in front of me.

At the top of the large staircase is a large hall.

The lights flickered, reflecting many figures.
