The summer of 302 in the Redemption calendar came very early.

March has just passed the beginning of March, and the sun has taken on a spicy taste. Especially in the southern province of Lulian, people change into summer clothes early.

The farmers in the fields were shirtless, shimmering with sweat. Decent people wore short clothes of linen or cotton, and xiōng mouth vests were soaked in sweat. Most of the aristocrats wore only a white sè wide-sleeved sweatshirt, and only when they went out to meet guests did they put on a ruffled collar huā coat.

The biggest change is the aristocratic ladies and ladies.

The warmth of the weather made them ecstatic after covering a winter and half a spring in their thick coats, and they turned out the most beautiful dresses from the closet in the box, put them on the chuáng, tried one after another, and were tired and exhausted.

Naturally, I was happy to keep in good shape, and I was thinking about how to overpower other female partners at the ball. When he got fat, he began to diet, desperately fighting against the fat on his body, and screamed hysterically when he saw his grandmother serving the dinner plate, and refused to eat a little to death.

As far as the eye can see, the city streets are full of young ladies and ladies holding small huā umbrellas and wearing thin skirts.

They strolled arm in arm, or sat on a summer carriage with their chin slightly raised.

Everyone unleashes their beauty to the fullest, and they don't squint but are clear about every gaze that gathers around them.

And what is more temperate than the weather and women's love of beautiful dresses is the war situation in the empire during this period.

The victory in Medin City was like a fire that ignited people's enthusiasm. This victory not only changed the original dire situation of Lulian and halted the fierce offensive of the Fireans since the beginning of the war, but also gave a heavy warning to the Fireans in other theaters of war.

The people of Saint Solan are not a people to be slaughtered!

This voice is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the people of the Saint Soran Empire. The people talked enthusiastically, dedicating the words "great victory" to the medium-sized local battle without hesitation, and firmly believed that this description was very accurate!

Since the outbreak of the war for a year and a half, no battle has achieved such brilliant results, and no battle has forced the Philae people to slow down their offensive in the three major theaters at the same time, and the Philaean Emperor Peter I was so angry that he asked his generals one after another!

Whether at the dinner table, at the ball, on the lawn of the manor's barbecue, or over the streets and alleys, people talked about it everywhere and everywhere, and the legends of the victory of the city of Medin came out of their mouths, and the generosity and triumph of the city were almost as if they had fought the battle. Whenever we talked about the highlights and interesting parts, everyone laughed together, their faces flushed, and drank glass after glass.

Even though the women were inherently uninterested in these topics, they also had to listen with a smile and let out a small cry of surprise from time to time to show their concentration. Otherwise, the men who are in high spirits and foaming at the mouth may leave them to find women who are willing to listen to these topics.

That's terrible!

They were on a desperate diet, inhaling and tightening their bellies to make Mama tighten the whale bones in their skirts, and the time or two for the huā to dress up was not to drive the men who circled around them to the vixens who also knew nothing about war but pretended to be listening.

Moreover, this victory is really exciting. Even the women who cared least about war could not help but be attracted by the men's comments.

Especially after the Duke's Palace announced a few days ago that Archduke Adolf was about to return to the city and hold a grand entrance ceremony and a victory parade, everyone went crazy. Needless to say, the men and women also crowded the tailor shops and ready-to-wear shops in preparation for that day.

This is the most important day in the city of Muni in decades, and the noble lords under his command, the Archduke Adolf, who has been leading the army in the army, will take the brave knights, take the captives, ride into the south gate, and cross the Avenue of Glory that runs through the central and central fields of Muni City, all the way to the castle of the lords.

Thousands of people will gather on both sides of the road, dressed in their finest clothes, cheering and dancing behind the procession of knights. Not only that, but Grand Duke Adolf ordered large-scale knightly jousting and gladiator competitions, and provided free beer for three days for people to revel.

Such a grand festival is not expected to be encountered once a year. Many girls pestered their mothers, pulling jiāo to ask for a new dress, wanting to wear their mother's ornaments at the moment of the festival and become the most beautiful girl in the city.

And the boys, who are usually mischievous, have also become conformist, as long as they can participate in the entrance ceremony, they can do anything, even if they are forced to wear stiff formal clothes and uncomfortable leather shoes like fools, and comb their scalp into separate hairs with water-soaked combs!

The whole city of Muni is immersed in a joyous atmosphere, and people can't wait. Many nobles from distant places and people with a little money and time rushed to Muni City in advance, and the hotels in the city had already been booked out, and even the empty rooms in many private houses were booked out.

Everyone talked happily every day, and the word mentioned most frequently in their mouths was the rabble.

No one expected that the rabble would be able to make such a big contribution in such a crucial battle.

In addition to shock and admiration, all that was left was envy.

The stragglers in all sorts of clothes and armed with a mess of weapons were a beautiful thing this time.

It is said that at the entrance ceremony, the rabble will be opened by the Bavarian Knights, who will be at the forefront of all the troops, and that the Grand Duke Adolf and the royal envoy will personally award medals and awards to some of the most meritorious soldiers of the rabble.

A few days ago, news came that Sophia had been appointed commander of a newly formed legion of the royal family, and that many of the officers and men of the rabble army would become junior officers in this newly formed legion. Even ordinary soldiers can be given priority to join the Legion and become a member of the Royal Elite Legion.

It's a step to the top!

After hearing the news, many people suddenly regretted why they didn't catch up with the battle of Medin City, and they made a mistake in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And the most mysterious of the topics about the rabble is a young mage who plays the most crucial role at the critical moment of the table.

There are many legends of mages. But most of them are not very reliable. Some say that the man was seriously wounded and died, some say that the wound was brought under control but has been scrapped, and others say that the man refused the invitation of Archduke Adolf to leave after the Battle of Medin for unknown reasons.

There are even more opinions about his identity.

Some say that the Imperial Capital Magic Guild sent him to assist Archduke Adolf, some say that he is a student of a training camp, some say that he is a secret genius cultivated by a certain aristocratic family, and that he joined the rabble to increase his actual combat experience, and some people say that he is actually a talented but earthy little hillbilly who is ready to apply for the academy.

The last statement seems to be the most reliable.

The reason is that now, when the students have returned to school one after another, and the recruitment of new students is about to begin, the magic instructors of the three major training camps have invariably left their magic towers, inquired around and personally visited almost all the young people who want to apply for the training camp magic court.

Normally, when it comes to admissions, the three major training camps will also compete for the best students, but there has never been such a big fanfare as this one.

According to a person in charge of admissions, "In terms of talent, although there are not many people who can release seventh-level magic at the age of seventeen or eighteen, it is not nothing." However, if you can stand in front of thousands of charging Ferry knights, without chanting, you can't find any of the three major training camps!"

"Magic, only when it is released and achieves the desired effect, can it be considered magic. If he can't release it, even if he can ban the spell, it will be equal to zero!Therefore, such a guy is a real magic genius, and we must not let him fall into the hands of other training camps!"

The man was finally drunk, still gritting his teeth, and his eyes flashed like wolves to see a treasure-like green light: "There is a chance that that guy Feng will come to apply for the training camp, and we will use a tenth of the effort to recruit him into our academy!"

..................

"Dad. Benfia walked into the camp with a central rod.

Adolf and Karn looked back and saw Sophia, and their eyes lit up.

Because the current situation on the southern front of Lulian is in the confrontation stage, and the Philip Imperial Army has retreated into the defensive line sixty kilometers south of the city of Medding, Sophia, who does not need to lead the troops to fight, is not wearing her fiery red devil armor with the symbol xìng today, but wearing a casual dress.

The command camp made of giant wood was rough and wide, and the sniper light fell diagonally from the skylight and shone on the slim Sophia.

A white sè lace hooked huā bell-sleeved blouse framed her slender waist, and under it was a white sè long skirt and a pair of delicate rice sè lambskin shoes, lined with her flowing silver, which made people look good. "Look" Adolf laughed and walked quickly to his daughter, hugged her dotingly, kissed her cheek, and turned his head to Karn proudly: "Tell me, old Karn, can Lulian find a more beautiful girl than my Sophia?"

Old Karn smiled and shook his head, and while hugging the girl he had grown up watching, he exclaimed complainingly, "My lord, there is no such thing as you. You are knowingly asking, not to mention that Lulian can't find it, even if you dig three feet into the south of the empire, you can't even find it!"

Teased by her father and the family's most loyal vassals, Sophia only smiled faintly, but on closer inspection, there was a faint flush on her face. But it makes her more bright and moving.

"When are you leaving?" asked Adolf, taking Sophia's hand and sitting down in her chair.

Edward I's decree had been issued, and Sophia, as the commander of the newly formed Royal "Fire Phoenix" Legion, would go to the imperial capital to accept the appointment and form the army.

"After the ceremony of entering the city. Sophia replied.

When she sat down, her back was as straight as armor, and she suddenly became the general of the iceberg.

Seeing this scene, both Philip and old Karn couldn't help but feel a pain in their hearts.

Sophia is Adolf's most beloved youngest daughter. Her identity and beauty should have allowed her to wear the most beautiful dress, dance in the bright lights and the eyes of everyone, run barefoot in the grass and laugh carelessly, and enjoy everyone's care.

However, now she is not as good as a girl from a noble family, even a daughter from a commoner family. Her life has long been far from quiet and comfortable. Every day, she must put on cold armor, step on a war horse, hold a spear, and lead a group of wolf-like men to charge and fight, fighting in the wilderness of blood and fire! This is determined by this era, and it is also the helplessness of the Loulian family, whose talents are withering.

Among the major provincial lords and top noble families of the empire, the Loulian family is the weakest. It's not just that the family doesn't have outstanding talents, but even the proportion of talents in the territory is far lower than in the north. In the Solan Empire, which was originally known as the wasteland of knights, Lulian was known as the wasteland of the wasteland.

While dazzling and dazzling genius knights continue to emerge from other provinces and families, Lulian can only rely on Sophia to support the scene.

Whether it is in the ranking of the strength of the aristocratic circle, in the triennial imperial knight jousting competition, it is always this silver fluttering girl, riding her unicorn, standing silently in front of her opponent. With her thin body, she defended the glory of the younger generation of Lulian.

In this regard, Archduke Adolf has always felt deeply guilty.

He patted Sophia's hand lightly, and said with a forced smile: "You have handed over the Bavarian Knights, so you will accompany your father for the next few days." I haven't been back to Muni for a year. It's rare to be able to go back and rest for a few days, and you can't waste it. Karn, even if the sky falls, don't look for me these days!"

"Yes, sir!" Karn bowed his head respectfully. He knew that Adolf was distressed by Sophia. It's true that something is not allowed to alarm him, and that Sophia is not allowed to be alarmed.

From the heart. Karn himself felt really sorry for the little lady. If it weren't for the fact that the talents of Sophia's brothers and sisters were too ordinary, and there were not a few outstanding talents over the years under the rule of the Grand Duke, otherwise, Sophia wouldn't have to work so hard.

As soon as he thought of this, Karn thought of the black boy named Roy in the battle of Medin City.

It's a pity that he couldn't be kept.

After the kid woke up, he only waved his hand and threw down the armor held by the guards and the promise of the Grand Duke, and walked out of the Maidin City Lord's Mansion alone.

However, since it was a matter of the big bus generation, that kid ate a five-star aura pill from Sophia again, and just left, it seemed that old Karn was too useless! From that day on, he had already sent his best spy to investigate the origin of that kid.

And the results are astonishing!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, old Karn smiled slightly, and said to Adolf and Sophia: "By the way, there are two things that are very interesting to say. ”

"Oh?" Adolf laughed, and said with great interest, "I said you came here today, tell me what it is that makes an old fellow like you feel funny!"

"Remember that rabble boy?" said old Karn as he walked to the central stove in the room and poured Adolf and Sophia a cup of freshly brewed tea.

"That kid!" Adolf snorted. , of course he remembers. If it weren't for that black-headed kid, there would have been no victory in the Battle of Medin, and the current situation would not have been like this.

It stands to reason that the kid is the person he should be most grateful for, but the guy simply rejected his offer. Leaving Karn and Ichigan from the Baron's Mansion in Medin, he swaggered away.

If that's all there is to it, it's fine. However, judging from his conversation with Karn at the time, the reason why he refused to solicit was because of Sophia.

"I'm sorry, I've only signed up for one cycle of Youyong, and I won't ask for these things, and I don't dare to ask for them. ”

"I don't want to be a hero. Especially this kind of hero who was sacrificed at will. ”

Adolf felt distressed at the thought of the boy's words and the still indifferent but somewhat pale face that Sophia had heard of the wells the next day.

At the beginning in the south of the city of Edin, not to mention the black-headed little bastard, even himself and the generals and nobles under his command, why didn't they raise their eyes at Sophia and scold her cold-blooded in their hearts?

Ears calmed down, and everyone understood that Sophia was doing the right thing. She was the commander in chief of that battle, and any decision she made had to be calm. Even if this calmness is seen as cold-blooded, nothing can be shaken.

Adolf could see the discomfort hidden beneath Sophia's indifferent surface after hearing the boy's words.

It stands to reason that Sophia bears the eyes of many people, and that kid is just one of them.

However, Sophia could withstand the eyes of the nobles, and even did not act, but the boy from the lowest level of society would rather give up the rank and rank than leave when he stayed, it really stabbed her.

Because she can't defend herself.

That kid is the victim of her fearful cold decisions!

"What's wrong with that kid?" Adolf asked, turning his head to look at his daughter.

Sophia sat quietly in a chair, with a broad forehead and bright eyes, like a goddess in an oil painting.

"His name is Roy," Karn said, taking a deep breath, "and the little handyman of Baron Bō Labelle's palace who was made a guardian knight by Princess Elethia more than a year ago!

"Is it him?!"

This news shocked Adolf and Sophia. The father and daughter never imagined that the boy who saved Lulian at the most critical moment turned out to be the little handyman who caused a major earthquake in the empire back then.

"Is the news confirmed?" Adolf asked quickly.

"Sure!" Karn said, "and then, after he left, I felt as if I had heard the name before. But I can't think of anything. After all, the name is not too special, and there are quite a few people with the same name. ”

He sat down on the chair opposite Adolf: "Later, the person I sent to follow him came back to report that this kid was still protected by several Momiji Knights by his side. This immediately reminded me of the royal family. ”

"You went to find Bō LaBelle's refugees?" asked Sophia suddenly.

Karn glanced at Sophia approvingly, and nodded, "It's still young lady smart." I remembered the boy's black head and his name, and immediately had his appearance drawn, and then went back to the city of Muny to find the old blacksmith named Ken whom we had taken in. He confirmed Roy's identity. ”

Adolf was a little stunned when he heard Karn speak, and his mouth opened wide before he squeezed out a sentence: "This kid!"

In his opinion, this kid named Roy may be the best little handyman in the world. It seems that wherever he goes, he can do something different and earth-shattering.

But in any case, he is a lucky star for the royal family.

Not to mention that he saved the princess in the first place, but to say that this victory in Medin City made all three newly formed legions fall into the hands of Edward I. This is a big slap in the face of Prime Minister Donald!

"And where is he now?" asked Sophia.

Karn smiled.

"In the city of Muni. ”

Fia nodded thoughtfully. In the bright eyes, a smart light slowly flowed, as if thinking about something.

Adolf glanced at his little daughter with some strange looks.

It was the first time he had seen Sophia so interested in a boy, and the first time he had seen her ask a boy for fear of whereabouts.

"You just said that there are two interesting things, and what is the second one?" asked Archduke Adolf.

Karn's smile suddenly turned cold.

He snorted: "Yesterday, Viscount Wenger and the Black Skull bandit group Wolf Bèi were jiān, trying to loot two caravans. ”

"Is there such a thing?!" Adolf was furious, and the case was slammed.

Karn took out two pieces of paper from his body, bearing the seals of the Momiji Knights and the Holy See of Bronnshire respectively, and placed them in front of Adolf.

Adolf blushed, opened the text, and read it with Sophia, and there was a look of disbelief on their faces.

"Wenger's bad luck," Karn sighed in the silence, "who can't you choose?" ”！
