On the post road of the Junn Empire, Bobilis is riding on horseback, and his heart is extremely complicated, with resentment, regret, confusion and fear.

The ruling of the Imperial Congress lay quietly behind him, as heavy as a mountain.

He resents Egg, the knight who once defeated him, Helen, who prevented him from taking revenge and broke the bridge of his nose in public, and Quinn who stripped him of his knightly name, and resents himself.

He regretted that he had listened to Quinn's arrangement to come to Kanna, and regretted that he had sent the false war report as a Surveillance Knight.

But most of all, he was uneasy about the future, whether it was the deprived knighthood or the confession of the court of the church, which filled his heart with unease. He never thought that he would be stripped of his knighthood, and he had never dreamed of such a thing even in a nightmare.

The closer he got to the imperial capital, the more chaotic Bobilis's heart became, he didn't know what was waiting for him in the imperial capital at this moment, and the imperial city in the distance was like a huge whirlpool, slowly rolling him, trying to pull him into the abyss little by little.

Soon, Bobilis rode to the majestic and towering gates of the imperial capital, turned over and dismounted, and walked inside.

The guards guarding the city gate stepped forward to inquire: "This gentleman, may I ask why you came to the emperor?"

Bobilis took out a family medal from his bosom expressionlessly, and motioned it to the guard, who saw it and asked respectfully: "You look at the face, may I ask which member of the Lot family are you?"

"I'm Bobilis. After saying that, he looked at the guard with a complicated expression.

The guard was puzzled for a moment, then looked at him again, and instantly recognized that the man in front of him with a haggard face and a half-long messy beard was indeed Bobilis, and quickly moved his body away, bowed his head and said respectfully to him: "I'm sorry, Knight Bobilis, please enter the city." ”

Bobilis put away his family crest, did not speak, and led his horse into the city gate.

Although he drove for several days in a row, Bobilis did not feel physically tired at all, and after entering the city, he did not ride a war horse, but quietly led the horse, step by step towards the residence of the Lot family, and walked and walked, and his heart slowly calmed down.

Surrounded by noisy and lively markets, full of commoners and merchants, and many nobles, and with wide and smooth roads, the prosperity of the imperial capital was far from comparable to that of a small town like Cana.

Bobilis suddenly had a feeling that the capital of the empire he grew up in was so beautiful and vibrant, this feeling he had never felt before, he looked around, the vendors were enthusiastically shouting and shouting to introduce their goods, the civilians were haggling with the goods, the people in a hurry, coming and going with a calm face, and some coachmen driving the carriage on the big lane and scolding the children running around, all of which made Bobilis feel so close.

Bobilis walked more and more slowly, and finally stopped, looking at the prosperity in front of him, and his heart was extremely calm.

"Stop, hold him, don't let him run!" a very large man ran after a boy who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old.

Soon the man held down the boy in the crowd, panting and grabbing him, with a wave of his big hand, he slapped the boy in the face, and with a "snap", the boy cried, and many people in the market looked over.

Bobilis frowned.

The man stretched out his hand and slapped the boy several times in a row, "Bang, bang, bang!" sound, and his ears hurt when he heard it.

Soon three more people chased after him, and one of them was panting and scolding: "If you owe money, don't pay it back, you still run, rabbit cub, I'll run away." He kicked it as he spoke.

The boy was caught, couldn't dodge, and was kicked firmly on the leg, and the sharp pain in the leg made the whole person arch, and tears fell down in pain.

"What to do, Ronnie?" the big man asked the man who kicked him, grabbing the boy.

"How am I, how do I know what to do? Anyway, you grab him first, Paige, you grab him first, and I don't have the strength to chase him. Ronnie gasped and said, the other two who caught up with him also had no idea, watching from the side to prevent the boy from escaping.

"I'll let you run, run so far, let's chase. Ronnie, who kicked the man, said as he reached out and put his palm on the boy's head, and the boy covered his face with his hand, and was caught off guard and received several slaps on the head.

"Let you run, I'll let you run!" Ronnie continued to wave at the boy, his wrist grabbing in mid-air as his palm landed on the boy's head.

Ronnie looked back and was caught by a man with a tired face, messy hair, and an unshaven beard. He said unhappily: "Sir, this is our private matter, please don't interfere." ”

Bobilis let go of his hand and said calmly, "He's just a kid." ”

When Ronnie saw that he had let go, he did not hit the boy again, and complained to Bobilis, "This gentleman, half a month ago, this boy borrowed money from us, and borrowed ten gold coins. If you don't pay back the money now, you will run away when we see him, you talk about it, if we don't catch him, how can we ask for money. ”

Bobilis looked at Ronnie, and he felt that what Ronnie said should be true, and if he borrowed money, he had to pay it back, which was justified.

So Bobilis nodded and said to him, "He's just a kid after all, and you should go and ask his parents for money." ”

"Sir, we also wanted to ask his parents for money, but this boy's parents are dead, and the ten gold coins borrowed are for his mother's medical treatment, and the pastor of the church only accepts ten gold coins, but in the end he cannot save him. Ronnie said helplessly to Bobilis.

"Sir, there's nothing we can do to arrest him, we just want him to go to the tavern to be a kitchen helper, three gold coins a year, and ten gold coins for four years. You yourself ask him if that's the case. Ronnie pointed to the boy.

Bobilis looked at the boy, dressed in tatters, with a thin body, his whole body dirty, two clear tear stains on his face, deep dark circles around his weeping eyes, and mud in his long nails. Bobilis sighed inwardly and asked him, "What's your name?"

"Som. The boy spoke with a crying voice.

"Do you still have a place to stay, Somme?" asked Bobilis again. Boy Thorme shook his head.

"Will you follow me?" Bobilis whispered.

When Somme heard this, he froze for a moment, pouted hard, looked up at Bobilis, and finally cried "Wow", knelt on the ground, and firmly grasped Bobilis's boots, as if if he would lose the whole world if he let go.

Bobilis pulled out his purse, counted out eleven gold coins, and handed them to Ronnie.

Ronnie reacted quickly, knowing that Som had met a nobleman, so he hurriedly took the gold coin and took out one to return to Bobilis: "Sir, ten gold coins are enough, and Som borrowed ten gold coins." ”

Bobilis, who had already fastened his money bag, pushed back a gold coin that Ronnie handed him over, shaking his head.

He helped Somme up and asked him, "Will you lead the horse?"

Somme looked sad and nodded his head hard.

"Then you will lead the horse and follow me. With that, Bobilis pulled the reins and handed them to Som, and the horse shook his head, snorted, and stood quietly beside Som.

Som grabbed the reins, turned to look at Bobilis, and found that Bobilis had already walked forward, and quickly pulled the reins gently, led the horse, and followed.

Not far from the bazaar, a pair of bright eyes looked at the back of Bobilis' departure, full of curiosity.
