Chapter 12: Mission

The warp and weft sword is really strong.

With such a weapon, as long as it is used properly, a knight of the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights can withstand an entire army of humans.

Lethality is one thing, the point is that the battle, that level of ferocity, can directly crush the morale of the other party. Hold the other person back.

Of course, everything comes at a price. The powerstone's magic power can only last for ten minutes.

......

"There are fifteen powerstones on the armor, why don't they connect all the powerstones together? ”

"You ask me, how do I know? But you should be glad that the powerstones are not all connected, otherwise all the powerstones will be used up, and my arrow will directly pierce you just now. ”

"Then you're underestimating the armor. At this distance, even if there is no magic, there should be no way for the arrow to directly pierce the armor. ”

"I think you're underestimating me. ”

At sunset, the two of them rode back on horseback, and they saw Matthew who was tired like a dog in the distance.

Seeing Alvin and George, Matthew immediately angrily asked, "Where have you been, why haven't I seen you all afternoon?"

"Went to test the armor. George rolled his eyes and rode straight past him.

"Test armor? Test armor don't you have to bring mine? I'll have to use armor too." ”

"Who told you not to train well before? Oh, sorry, I forgot you didn't train as a knight before. ”

"You!" Matthew's face turned green with anger.

"Alright. Alvin had no choice but to stand next to Matthew on his horse and comforted: "You really don't pass the test, and there is no way to do it." I promise, once you pass the level, I'll help you catch up on all the training on equipment. You don't have to worry. ”

George had already leashed his horse and walked towards the gate.

Matthew stood behind him and looked at him from a distance, angry, but helpless.

Before George could reach out to open the door, the door was already open. Out came an old man in a black gentleman's dress, wearing a white wig, followed by three young girls dressed as maids. The four of them saluted respectfully to George together.

"Young Master, welcome back. ”

"Who is this?" Matthew was stunned.

"I don't know. Alvin replied.

Turning around, George smiled and introduced to Alwin, "This is my butler, Mr. Benson, and a few of my maids. ”

"Didn't you say there's only one person? You only asked for an extra room. Alvin asked.

"There should only be one more room, so I can only ask for one more room, not that I just want one more room. George emphasized, "It's good that the housekeeper lives here, and the others can live somewhere else." They arrived yesterday, as I told you, the day after we met. I asked them to find a house first. Moreover, there are more than four. ”

As he spoke, a whole group of cavalry came down the alley. Yes, a whole team.

The leader is a blonde boy in green armor.

"Young Master!" dismounted, and he hurried up to George and saluted.

"This is my personal bodyguard, Lance. With that, George turned his face to Lance and asked, "Where have you been?"

"We went to buy you new furniture and the housekeeper said your bed would be uncomfortable to sleep on. ”

Stretching his neck, Matthew saw in the distance that several horsemen were already moving furniture from the wagons parked at the mouth of the alley. There is a bed, there is a wardrobe, there is a sofa...... It really has it all.

All of a sudden, Matthew was a little dumbfounded, and complained, "What are you doing here?

However, the people in the circle, except for Alvin, all looked at Matthew like a fool.

Benson, the butler, smiled and replied, "We have discussed it with Mr. Bard, and he doesn't mind, and we are more than welcome to do so." Do you have any comments?"

Hearing this, Matthew had no choice but to shut up.

......

The Alvin house, the whole thing has changed, yes, the whole thing has changed, as if it had been renovated.

The first is clean and tidy. All the sanitary corners have been carefully cleaned and there are no more piles of unwashed dishes in the kitchen. The grease was all cleaned up, the curtains were pulled back, and the broken windows were repaired one by one. The dining table, which was originally three long and one short, needed to be padded with wooden planks, but also repaired to be as long as four legs.

The dining table was covered with a white tablecloth, golden candlesticks, and silver cutlery. And, of course, a sumptuous dinner.

At this moment, the living room, which originally looked extremely simple, actually had a feeling of golden splendor.

Both Alvin and Matthew were stunned.

Sitting at the table, Bard smiled from ear to ear when he saw Alvin return, and Cardina, who was standing on the side, was at a loss.

George raised his hands slightly, and several maids immediately surrounded him, helping him remove the light armor on his body and take the sword.

"From today onwards, they will take care of everyone's diet and daily life, so that we can devote ourselves to the development of the Order. Therefore, though they are my servants, send them. ”

As soon as George finished speaking, the butler Benson immediately bowed to everyone elegantly: "If there is anything you need me to serve, please just say." ”

Removing the accessories and light armor, one of the maids had already pulled out the chair for George.

George sat down and reached for a napkin to wrap himself around. Then he turned his face to look at Alvin and Matthew, who were still stunned on the spot: "Sit, don't you have dinner?" They helped us hire the best chef that White City could find. Let's try his craft together. If it's okay, he'll be our chef in the future. After dinner, everyone can give their own opinions, which is very important, after all, it is related to our diet for the next period of time. ”

The whole living room was quiet.

Matthew sighed and muttered, "How do I feel like this is his home?"

It can only be said that being rich is really different.

......

What is aristocratic style?

This is called aristocratic style. Needless to say, naturally, it looks superior.

There was no doubt that this should have been the sumniest dinner anyone present had ever had besides George. Matthew, however, eats with a lot of food.

"What does this mean? What does this mean?" said Matthew angrily, "Is he here to show off his wealth?"

"Matthew, he's not showing off his wealth. Alwyn replied, "I think that's how his daily life is." ”

"But isn't ours, shouldn't he think about us?"

He thought about it. Bard cuped, "He has made it clear that his servants will serve us as well." ”

"We don't need this kind of service!" Matthew's eyes widened.

"No, you don't need it, I do. "From today onwards, I don't have to wash dishes or mop floors." How nice?"

"I also don't think he can be blamed for this, he has never deliberately excluded anyone, including you. Cardina whispered.

Matthew blushed, but there was really nothing to say.

......

And so the days went by.

Alvin and George were busy getting acquainted with the equipment every day, while Matthew was busy making up for the basics of knight training. Occasionally, of course, he would familiarize himself with the equipment with Alvin and George.

When?

Probably when Matthew's opinion was great, and Alvin couldn't resist him.

With the assistance of George's servants and guards, the logistics of the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights suddenly became very abundant.

Alvin definitely didn't want to do this, after all, George wasn't even an official knight of the Silver Moon Knights, but Bard insisted. Since it was agreed that Bard would take care of the housekeeping, Alvin didn't bother to mess with his father, so he could only maintain the status quo for the time being.

As for Cardina, she also changed from learning from Bard to learning from Benson, the housekeeper. You have to admit that Benson, who has been doing housekeeping all his life, must be neater than Bard.

And Simon.

Simon stayed in the White City, as if he had entered a state of retirement, doing nothing every day. In fact, he didn't really have much to do, aside from occasionally helping Elwin and them change the Philosopher's Stone.

If so, I guess it's just a walk around.

I don't know why, but he had a good conversation with Benson, the butler. At his request, Benson would take him around the White City to experience the bits and pieces of human society. Since there are a large number of guards, there is no need to worry too much about causing a commotion.

During this time, many people also learned of the existence of this new detachment of the Silver Moon Knights, and invited them to various balls and other social parties, but Alvin refused on the grounds that he was busy training.

Including the new knights who applied to join the fifth detachment, the noble young masters were all rejected.

"We need to get up and running first, not expanding, and a bloated organization is not conducive to our internal adjustments. In fact, we don't need that many people for the time being. Alvin said.

Probably he also realized that it was a mistake to look for people to join so quickly before.

Time just ticked by.

......

In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth month of the seventh year of the silver moon.

Snow fell from the sky, and the whole world turned white.

"I'm going to test today. ”

"It's snowing today, Matthew. Tomorrow. ”

"I said I'm testing today, and I've made an appointment for today. ”

"I said it snowed today and another day. ”

"No, I'm going to do it today! I've been waiting for three months!" Matthew almost shouted.

Alvin and Cardina stood by and watched quietly.

Halls sighed helplessly: "Okay, then today." ”

So, in the midst of the large snowflakes, the test began.

......

A riveted Matthew crossed the finish line.

"Long-distance Run A, the same as last time. ”

......

Matthew shoots an arrow at the target.

"Archery B, hmm...... It's a notch better than last time. The archer level is qualified. ”

......

Matthew rode across the finish line.

"Equestrian B. ”

......

Matthew managed to bring down an officer.

"Infantry Combat A, this progress is not easy. Generally, it takes at least one year to get from B to A. ”

......

Wearing armor, Matthew rode his horse towards the other party, and then was directly knocked out by Mike and fell to the ground.

"Cavalry Fighting B. ”

"Knocked off the horse and B?" said George, who was standing next to Halls, frowned.

"His opponent is Mike in Equestrian A, isn't it normal to be knocked down? ”

Helped up from the ground by the soldiers, Matthew ran to Alwin out of breath and said seriously: "I am qualified, I have passed B in all items, and I am a fully qualified knight." ”

George on the side teased: "You just meet the standards of knights in the Duchy of Besil, and you don't meet the standards of knights of the Silver Moon Knights." ”

Matthew gritted his teeth and replied, "But I'm just mad at you." ”

With this, the smile on George's face disappeared on the spot, and he slowly turned his face away.

Alvin could only smile awkwardly.

......

Matthew and George seem to be inherently incompatible. However, you have to admit that there is actually a benefit to their disagreement. It will make them work harder for each other.

Also, Alvin was originally very worried about whether Matthew's motives would be impure and whether something would happen, but due to George's existence, Matthew didn't seem to have the idea of doing something for the time being.

It's simple, but the days of improving every day go on.

......

In the blink of an eye, the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights ushered in its second year.

Silver Moon Eight Years.

In early spring, the snow has not completely melted, and the air outside is still very cold.

The banner of the Behill family still flies over the White City.

......

"Have a mission for us?" Alwin's eyes widened slightly.

"Yes. Irene whispered, "I talked to Jones about your problem. He suggested that I could assign you a little quest, after all, you have been training for many months, knights can't always train, and some small quests will be more beneficial to your growth. Of course, you can also refuse. What Jones means is that you are not affiliated with me, nor are you affiliated with him. You are independent. Strictly speaking, you only need to obey the current leader of the Knights of the Silver Moon, which is Richie. ”

Alvin happily straightened his back: "Please order!"

"Maybe you should listen to the task and then decide whether to take it or not. With that, Ireen turned and walked over to a large map that lay flat on the table.

This is a detailed map of the Duchy of Beshir, which also includes the surrounding area.

Pointing to one of the points that was only more than a hundred kilometers away from Baicheng with the long stick in his hand, Ireen said, "Here, Karp, have you heard of it?"

"Uh...... Uncooked. Alvin smiled awkwardly, "But I can find out right away." ”

"Let me introduce you to it. Irene said softly: "This is a relatively remote place, and the traffic is very inconvenient. Every winter, because of the heavy snowfall, there are basically three months of isolation. All along, it was mainly about autonomy, and I rarely bothered about it. However, I've noticed some anomalies lately. ”

"Anomaly?"

"Yes. Propping up the table, Ireen said to Alwin, "Three months ago, the local consul told me that there seemed to be some grumbling and restlessness among the people. Want to break away from the Duchy of Beshir. I asked him to find out and tell me. However, three months passed. During the three months when the snow closed the mountain, he did not send back any news with carrier pigeons. This is not the same as in previous years. Not only that, but according to the feedback of the trade group, they also cut off contact with Karp. It was as if the place of Karp had suddenly disappeared from the world. ”

"And what do you need me to do?" Alvin asked.

"The snow will melt in the next two days, I need you to enter Karp, help me find out what is going on there, and then tell me. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Irene smiled and said, "If something really happens there, it is likely that it has been controlled by the forces of heaven or hell, and let you go to this kind of place to investigate, do you call this simple?"

Elwin's expression was visibly stunned.
