The twilight of early autumn twilight came earlier than usual, and on the other side of the distant sky, the brilliant sunset and clouds seemed to be burning with countless flames, and the cold autumn wind slowly blew through, and the sultry heat quietly dissipated.

'The autumn wind rises, and clothes are added. Aldrich remembered that the peasants in Triss had to change into thicker coarse cloth coats at this time of year, when their thin single clothes could no longer keep them warm. In Eastwood, a lingering warmth enveloped the city due to the widespread use of coal and stone, and many young people roaming the streets with nothing to do, still wearing summer light gauze tunics.

"Phew...... Wow...... "The dull bell rings like a mourning bell, and the calm workshop area is like a reservoir that opens the floodgates, pouring out the day's accumulated resentment, anger, and resentment into the nearby spacious streets.

Countless employees with tired faces and smiling expressions were carried and squirmed by the surging flow of people. Some people fall to the ground from exhaustion and then fall asleep, and acquaintances may lend a helping hand and carry him home on their shoulders, or more will walk numbly and avoid it.

The reef is constantly appearing in the surging floods, and as the flow continues to merge into the nearby streets and alleys, the lively workshop area returns to calm, and it is natural that people will come out to pick up the pieces and take them home according to the address on the badge, while others are not necessary, and they are simply dragged to the cemetery outside the city for burial on the spot.

In view of the plague caused by unburied corpses seven years ago, and the crazy loss of minds of people who were seized by the fear of death, there has been a silent tacit understanding in Eastwood that the appearance of corpses will never be tolerated, and even unclaimed wanderers must be decently contained and buried, which is also considered a good government of the town hall.

The blood and sweat of the employed people have been exhausted and they have died in the streets, and the wealthy workshop owners inevitably have to show kindness, at least whitewash, and cover up the blood-stained whip marks and bruises.

When Aldrich came to the south gate to find the city guards to join, he saw a black carriage slowly passing by, probably in the shape of a freight carriage, and from it came a faint smell of corpses, which made him a little puzzled, and his heart throbbed faintly, and for some reason he suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute, please. The spiritual Hayek did not need to give an order, and immediately caught up with the black carriage with vigorous steps.

The driver of the car was a crippled old mercenary, with long gray withered shawl hair like ruined grass, raised his head, revealing a pair of cloudy eyes, seeing the family crest of Aldrich's armband, he held back his temper and did not get angry, and a hoarse and low voice spat out from his toothless mouth and complained: "Honorable knight, there is no one living in this carriage except me, what are you looking for?"

"A life that has not yet completely withered, I cannot ignore her being buried in the cold grave soil. ”

Eker, the 'tax collector' who had not yet changed the guard in the city guard, immediately remembered the identity of the young knight when he saw the familiar black horse, and he immediately came to help.

The old rider who passed by every day was not afraid of Aldrich, but he had great respect for Ecker, and he grabbed the reins and tightened them to stop the four horses.

"Honorable Knight, please!"

There was a cold disregard in his tone, an inability to identify with the significance of the move and some resentment at invading his exclusive territory.

Aldrich Triss nodded to Ecker, dismounted without saying a word, and then stepped into the black carriage without hesitation, and followed the silent cry of the fire of the heart to find the young girl who still had a breath of hot air in her heart.

She was covered by several cold corpses, and she was overwhelmed by the weight of the weight, and the young knight got out of the car with her in his arms, and gently placed her on the dry ground.

The girl's washboard-like thin body, the slender collarbone was obviously extremely dazzling, Aldrich reached out and pressed her chest, and quietly performed the knightly skills of the precept system.

Penetration can hurt the enemy, but also save people, he wants to revive the girl's weak heart, so that it can be active again, so he has to divide a little of his life force into her.

"Huh...... Ha!" the young knight's shiny black hair faded and even dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his ruddy complexion turned pale in an instant as if he had lost too much blood.

I've used my knight's skill three times today, and I'm feeling a little overdrawn. ’

"Ahem...... Ahem!" The young girl, who was still like a dead person just now, suddenly took a breath of air, and then coughed out vigorously.

"Rise from the dead! Raise the dead! Oh my God, this is a time of miracles!"

The passers-by who were standing nearby couldn't help but whisper, and even the city guards who had seen the world were a little commotionful, after all, the scene just now was too amazing.

Only after a short exclamation from the old mercenary who drove the black carriage, his bright eyes became cloudy again, and he shook his head: "It's useless, you let her come back to life, just prolong the painful period of tormenting the body, and in a few days, my carriage will still carry her to the cemetery." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, don't you see what the esteemed knight paid to save this young girl?" Eckel's surprise was enraged by the old rider's words, he was the closest to Aldrich, and saw with his own eyes the changes that took place in the young knight's body in a short period of time.

"I am truly in awe of the actions of a hired man who has been thrown into the pile of people in the workshop area and does not recognize his face, but he can save one person and not all, isn't it?"

Aldrich felt the pillars of his pity gushing out, but the old mercenary's words quietly blew out his joy, and even if there were sparks jumping, it was still a candle in the wind.

"Everyone has their place, and being in my position right now, I can only save those who are within reach. My ability is far from enough, if I am stronger, I can save more people, this is also the responsibility of being a defender, a knight of military merit and a pioneer nobleman, many people have forgotten, and I just want to remind you, remember the preciousness of life, do not give up easily. ”

The old rider continued to sneer: "Honorable knight, you are too good at speaking. Precious justice, rare kindness, you should enter the town hall and serve the citizens of Eastwood. ”

"That's what I'm thinking, and soon I'll be joining the City Guard to keep Eastwood at night. Aldrich's words, which were not angry, were like a spring breeze, and his weight made the old driver close his mouth, and he did not dare to speak nonsense anymore.

"Thank you for saving your life, my honorable knight, I can't put into words my respect for you. The almost dead girl sat up and bowed to Aldridge almost to the ground.

The young knight immediately reached out to help her up, and was a little surprised to see her regain some health, a regret that the dust of the workshop area had buried her delicate appearance.

The soft body that has not yet fully grown is like the elves living in the lake in fairy tales, but it is a pity that the hands that are finely scarred and calloused by the rough silk threads. ’

"I'm just doing my duty as a knight. If you're having trouble with your life, you can come to me at the Sword and Spear Tavern on Ironhoof Street. Aldrich, owner of Triss Territory, will do his best to help you. ”

"My name is Lynn, an orphan girl who has lost her family, a spinning woman, trying to pay off her debts with her hands and sweat, but she is overwhelmed by the interest. The girl wanted to pour out her bitterness, but the shrewd Eckel immediately reached out and pushed her away, because once Lynn said it, it would be endless.

The black carriage could not be delayed at the city gate for too long, after all, the carriage was full of decaying corpses, the old driver Dalke grabbed the reins with both hands and lightly steered the horses, and the good deeds who were gathered in a group quickly avoided it, this scene amazed the trained city guards, and the flexibility and elasticity of people were really incredible.

The clatter of wheels rolling over the gravel road, the flow of the city gate again, everything returned to its original state, and the girl who did not know when she disappeared made Aldrich a little worried, but the enthusiastic Eker vaguely guessed something from the conversation just now, and urged the young knight in a hurry to verify.

"Recruitment Order!A night patrol of knights with swords. Mistress Triss, I remember you coming to Eastwood at noon, and finding your place so quickly. Eckel remembered something and hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't mean that, I just think you should stay for a few days to familiarize yourself with the environment in the city, and then it would be better to take office." ”

"Time waits for no one, Eastwood City's consumption is very high, no matter how much money I bring, I will spend it like a stream, I will get a salary as soon as possible, the environment can be familiar later, and the affairs can be slowly started. Isn't it true that you have to be down-to-earth?"

Led by Ecker, who was familiar with the ground, Aldrich arrived at the night patrol camp, a fortress-like walled building, boxy, three stories high, with lookouts at the four corners of the roof, and the windows seemed to have just been made, and when they approached, they smelled the fresh scent of sawdust and shavings.

The man who received the young knight was a giant man no less big than the Highland warrior Baruch Stoneaxe, and his turnip-thick fingers spread out the blue ribbon paperwork, and after reading it, he asked thoughtlessly: "How do you prove that you are Aldrich Triss?"

This stumped him, as the knight did not carry any of the documents to prove his identity, especially the heraldic pedigree chart and the certificate of bloodline, which were stored in the iron chest of the old mansion of Trisso.

"What is this? Is it difficult? Or is it a test for a new recruit to enter the camp?" Aldrich was a little puzzled, but he quickly came back to his senses, "Three years ago, when I inherited the family business, the town hall sent someone to Triss to collect the traces, and there is a trace archive, I can go and apply for it to be opened and adjusted immediately. However, the recruitment order has been issued, and I came to handle the entry procedures today, but it was not successfully completed, do you think this is my fault?"

"Aha! don't scare people, the recruitment order doesn't have the seal of the town hall at all, but only the seal of His Excellency Quincy Rodney, Grand Master of the Knights of the Cold Mountain, don't use his name to force me, it will only make me more disgusted. ”

'So so, the Night Patrol belongs to the town hall, and instinctively resent the edict of the knightly order under the earl, which is to use me as a gunman. This person only recognizes the city hall in his eyes, and the city hall, which is held by merchants, has already stretched out his hand to the head of the knight with the sword, which is really a dangerous move. ’

Aldrich Triss raised his right hand, and the blue ribbon recruitment order instantly returned to his hand, carefully rolled up and put away: "Is the night watchman only to the level of you? That really worries me, Eastwood City night peace, you are really a knight?"

The giant man was furious, and he heard the silent taunts and the snickering of his colleagues who were watching the excitement not far from behind.
