When the first rays of morning light spread over the land, a procession of knights appeared from the avenue in the mountain village.

The horses neighed, and the white mist that spewed out drifted into the air for a moment, and the low temperature of the morning did not affect everyone's momentum in the slightest.

Next to this procession of knights, there was a carriage with a number of maidens all of its members.

This unusual sight attracted the attention of many knights, but the most interesting thing was the figure of the man leaning his horse next to the carriage.

Natsume quieted the horse beside him and took the pastry handed to him by the cheerful Sister Green, which was something they had made together last night, which made Natsume have to accept it.

"It's unbelievable that you would do something like that, but for the sake of that effort, I'll give you these failed things."

"Did you just say the word 'failed'?"

"Don't care, don't care, those two girls want to talk to you more than this."

Oh? It's probably not Freya and Alan, who get along well with the members, but are afraid of the opposite sex.

Those two people must be Il and Riat.

The two girls who came out of the carriage of Sister Green's head nodded at Natsume, and Liat, who had taken out something from the storage compartment in the carriage, came over.

"Please accept what you made."

"What is this?"

Solid red knotted rope, but something unusual is the addition of something resembling a crystal at the end.

"It's not valuable, but if it can protect your safety......"

It couldn't be better, and with that, Liette shrank into the carriage with her head down.

"Thank you for your help."

He bowed his head expressionlessly and thanked him, and then Il hugged Natsume's head.

This action caused surprise and boos from the knights, and some slapped their iron shields to signal that it was over quickly.

There was no way, Natsume felt a warm sensation on his forehead as he thought about it, his lips touched lightly, and then he left immediately.

"This is the etiquette of the old homeland, and a kiss on the forehead can bring good luck, hopefully."

"Zuihou's words are superfluous."

Natsume looked helpless, but touched the other party's head

"It's really Xiexie."

"Ming, understood."

After answering the question, some stammering Ilr also got into the carriage, leaving only Natsume and Sister Green.

The other party did not speak, but simply patted Natsume on the shoulder.

Liliang passed through his shoulder, and then the other person pinched it before he spoke

"The shoulders are quite hard, but it's not enough to be relied on, give me the effort, stinky boy."

"I see."

"Yes, after all, there is no longer a male one, only to try to stiffen the shoulders."

"That's there!"

After the gossip ended, after seeing Freya and Ellen quietly waving to him, Natsume stepped onto the horse.

After waiting for less than a minute, after Zuihou was ready, the whole team began to set off towards the outside of the village.

Natsume's letting go was originally opposed by Doricle, but after the previous knight's words, the whole person suddenly fell silent.

It seems that the Knight's Commander's sphere of influence is really broad enough.

The knights' team and Grimm's team parted at a crossroads, and Natsume sighed silently as he looked at the figure of the carriage in the distance.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about the ladies? ”

"Well, sort of."

"Don't worry, we've cleared the road from here to the other side, and we're pretty close to the next big city, so as long as you don't deliberately choose a long-distance route, there's absolutely no problem getting there safely."

"Alright, then, where are we going?"

"Over there."

The knight pointed in the opposite direction to the Grimm.

From here, you can see the rolling mountains and mountains, as well as the huge river that divides the land in half.

According to the topography, it is a direct road to the Strait of Dover, but it is estimated that there are many coastal cities on the road, and the chances of the knights getting supplies will also increase.

But not only that, they must have chosen this route for something.

The British knights can be said to belong to the martial arts faction, and most of the coastal cities belong to the economic arteries, so I guess I want to investigate something when I pass through those cities from here.

Even the knights have a move to investigate the flow of the economy.

In the face of the three factions in Britain, under this complex relationship, in addition to their mutual constraints, they are also investigating each other and acting on their own.

And Natsume thought that even if he reached the Strait of Dover, he would not be able to participate in the battle.

The real place of battle was the French side of the Strait of Dover, where the battle took place, so to speak.

Natsume must cross the border as an ordinary person, cross the sea, and enter the strait in order to lend a helping hand to the Three Kings Maiden Vilian, who is begging for help.

Thinking and judging, Natsume kept up with the team, galloping towards his destination.

To ask what was done on the road, it was very simple, and that was to follow the knights to exchange information with the local knights, and to learn about the actions of the local church and the Puritans.

The whole team is moving at a fast pace, and the knights have the clearance rights of each city, and they are slowly approaching the finish line without receiving any obstacles to the smooth flow of everything.

Natsume, who was rocking on horseback, saw the city that entered the horizon, the city named after Dover, and its tall walls stood right in front of him.

"The purpose of the following has been achieved, so please move freely, but before that, please go to the easternmost wine room."

"Easternmost?"

"Yes, I don't know why, but please go."

"Well, that's fine."

Natsume waved his hand and broke away from the group and entered the city alone.

The first thing I saw was a familiar sight, because the door was full of knights and soldiers, a scene that had already been seen when facing the Knights of Orleans.

Since handing over the horse to the Knights, Natsume is currently moving on foot, which allows him to get a good look at the city.

However, it is said to be watching, but in fact it is an investigation and a record.

The previous battle had made it impossible for Natsume to let up, so he simply drew up a map and route in his mind so that he could escape and fight if he encountered an unknown enemy in the city.

As I said before, the most important thing in battle is nothing more than investigation, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles.

The city is bustling with people, citizens moving for their own purposes, and the street stalls are packed with people, making the city feel very lively.

Wooden and stone houses were staggered, the steeple church bell rang, and Natsume looked up at the rising sun in order to find the east side.

"From that direction?"

The sun was rising in the east, and Natsume walked in that direction from here with that goal.

Nobles dressed in fine clothes, peasants with wheat in their arms, and merchants sitting in the seats of their cars passed by and disappeared at the end of the street.

The ground beneath his feet changed from large slabs of stone to fine gravel, and the road continued to the walls of the city near the coast.

Without hesitation, Natsume strode forward.

As the knight said, at the end of the road, Natsume actually saw a tavern with iron billboards on the windowsill, no, a small café to be exact.

However, there is not much traffic in this place, and it is estimated that business is not as good as those that occupy the main streets, so there must not be many people.

Taking a deep breath, Natsume walked to the door and pushed it open.

As the doorbell rang, a glass of wine flew in front of him on his right.

Although Natsume was surprised, he didn't froze there, but took corresponding actions.

The wine glass is a goblet, so you don't have to worry about being a flat glass and it is not easy to hold, causing your hand to slip, so raise your right hand, enter the flight trajectory of the wine glass, and slowly move it backwards to remove it, and gently hold it in your hand.

The red wine inside swayed, and Natsume was forced to move left and right, so Zuihou let the wine settle down and not spill out.

Call.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and when I was about to ask who it was, the other party was the first to speak.

"It's been a long time, and your skills have deteriorated? In the past, I used to catch it and drink it all, but why is it so hesitant now? ”

In the blink of an eye, there was a man sitting by the window of the café near the city wall, with neatly combed blonde hair, a handsome face, wearing a suit and sitting with his head held high, exuding the unique atmosphere of aristocratic society.
