Seeing the towering gates, Eric knew that he had arrived in the Holy Capital for the second time in just one month. www.biquge.info But last time he only saw the luxurious Shengdu Station, and he didn't have a chance to admire the ancient stone gate.

The clear water of the ancient moat enclosed the city walls into the distance, and the large drawbridge of the city gate spanned it, on which many pedestrians and horses walked. In front of the gate, the guards carried out a routine inspection of the city.

A heavy sense of solemnity welled up in Eric's heart, and this was Saint Oud.

As the metal carriage drove onto the suspension bridge, more and more eyes were focused on this vehicle with its unique shape and materials.

Eric doesn't like to be focused, but there's nothing he can do about it. After all, people are creatures who are curious about fancy things. Even he himself was no exception.

Long before they were some distance from the city gates, Jusses took off his horned helmet from his head. According to him, he didn't want to attract too much attention. But Eric felt that he had no doubt about doing so, for the carriage alone was enough to attract attention, and not to forget that the horse pulling the cart was carrying a captive on its back. But after the knight dropped the sentence "These are two different things", he still chose to show his black hair.

"If we hadn't washed the blood off the wagon by the creek, I think more people would have seen it. At this time, Jusis whispered to the young man beside him.

Eric nodded in complete agreement. And these passers-by may be even more surprised when they see the dense bullet marks on the car when they get closer.

"Gentlemen, please get out of the car and be checked. "The guards stopped the carriage and gave instructions in a respectful manner. Anyone with a discerning eye can guess that only nobles and wealthy merchants can own such a custom-made carriage, and both of them deserve to be treated politely.

Jusis had no intention of moving his ass at all. I saw him take out a piece of paper from his arms and hand it out casually: "This is an exemption document, let it go." ”

The guard didn't know where Jusis was, so he hurriedly took two steps, nodded and took the tissue paper and spread it out in front of him. Then his eyes widened: "Please wait, I need to ask my superiors." With that, he ran away.

Jusés waved his hand and knocked on the carriage door behind him. The door opened slightly, and a helmet was handed out. It was Jusses' horned helmet.

The other guard's face changed instantly. This style of helmet is rare, and most people who have them can be called by their name.

Eussis, the knight of the Round Table who defected from Oud, was called so by the Ouders. At the same time, he is also one of the current six-pointed stars of Pelos.

Jusis put his helmet back on his head and threw out a phrase at the guard, who was at a loss, "I know you're just stalling for time. Go back and tell your superiors that Eussis the knight is back. Immediately he flung the reins, and the two horses began to move.

The guards stood still, but they did not dare to step forward to stop them, and could only watch the metal carriage leave.

"It seems that the prestige of the horned helm Jusis is still in Oder. Eric teased as he looked at the guards who were moving away. In fact, he seriously suspected that Jusis had taken off his helmet just to startle others when he put it back on.

"Where, where, nothing. Jusses touched his helmet and looked embarrassed. The rough lines of him really thought that Eric was praising him, which made the little detective speechless for a while.

The carriage was still driving on the cobblestone road of Oude, passing through the less noisy high-end shopping street, and soon the group arrived at the Royal Square. This means that they have entered the aristocratic residential area.

Eric is full of praise for the square.

In the holy capital, where land was expensive, there was only one square of this size, and the stone used to build it was significantly stronger and more beautiful than any other place.

"The Royal Square was the center of the life of the Ode aristocracy, and they often met here. It is also a royally sanctioned duel location, and is often the scene of blood-pumping battles. To tell you the truth, I cut down more than 20 people here in a row. Jusis laughed, unmodestly telling his heroic deeds.

"Wow. Eric was pompously surprised, and threw his arm over his mouth.

Jusis ignored Eric's actions, and said to himself, "Look, that big clock! that's the ruins of the cathedral famous in all Odin! The first thing outsiders did when they came to Oude was to see it, but now it has been converted into an orphanage. ”

It seems that Mr. Pat had also said before that he would go to the cathedral ruins, along with his impostor wife. Eric recalls the events on the train, and it feels as if it happened yesterday.

"Hey, are you listening?" said Jusis slightly angrily. He is the most unbearable for others not to listen carefully to his words. The knight suddenly patted the young man beside him on the shoulder.

Eric was startled, "Uh-huh. I'm listening. ”

Jusis seemed pleased with the answer: "Just listen, then I'll continue to introduce you to the building......"

It seems that the former Royal Knight of the Round Table volunteered to be a tour guide. But Eric didn't feel a hint of honor, he just thought that time was passing too slowly. Jussi's words made his head buzz, and if it continued like this, Eric would choose to jump out of the carriage.

Luckily, the carriage turned a corner and stopped in front of a mansion. "It's a shame to arrive so soon. But I can only introduce it to you next time. Jusis said, jumping out of the carriage and knocking on the door.

Don't have a next time!, Eric prayed in his heart. At the same time, he also noticed that the mansion where Jusis knocked on the door was the smallest in the nearby area. It seems that Pelos does not have any friends of prominent status in the Holy Capital.

A moment later, it was the old servant of the Kane family who opened the door, and after a little greeting, Jusis pulled the carriage into the courtyard.

Before the carriage could stop, a plump middle-aged man strode up to meet him: "You guys are finally here, I'm still a little worried." "Needless to say, you can guess from what he is wearing, this must be Earl Kane, a friend of the Pylos family in the Holy Capital. It is also very likely that he is the only friend.

Jusis also greeted with a smile: "With the protection of me and Marella, how can there be a problem? ”

The door of the carriage opened, and Marella, the head maid, stepped out of it. She greeted the Count warmly, "Kane, long time no see." ”

Eric heard Marella call the Count by his first name, and then remembered that the two of them were supposed to be peers. I have to say that the face of the head maid is really deceptive.

"We haven't seen each other in more than twenty years. I saw you before the last time I took the noble succession exam. Kane also greeted each other, saying that he and Marella gave a hug.

Marella seemed to be immersed in the memories: "yes. At the time, I was his valet man. Today, he has become the bodyguard of his children. It looks like I'm going to be inseparable from Pelos for the rest of my life. ”

The "he" in Marella's mouth refers to the current Duke of Pelos. As early as more than 20 years ago, Marella, as a six-pointed star, came to the Holy Capital to take the exam as the heir of the time.

"I remember that it was Mr. Qiu who came with you at that time. How is he now?" asked the Earl of Kane.

This time it was Jusis who answered the earl: "Mr. Qiu is still the duke's personal bodyguard. The strongest hexagram naturally wants to protect those who are more worthy of protection. ”

Earl Kane was relieved, and then he finally noticed the silent Eric: "Who is this friend?"

Marella turned to look at Eric and held out a hand to introduce Kane, "This interesting boy is a newcomer that Patrick has recruited on the way, and he found it himself on the way. Oh yes, I almost killed him. ”

"That last sentence is redundant. Jusis couldn't laugh or cry.

Eric also introduced himself: "First meeting, Your Excellency Earl Kane. My name is Eric and I'm a detective. I think I can't wait to meet Mr. Papitt and allow me to punch him in the face. At the same time he raised his right hand, which was clenched into a fist, and gestured to the Count.

Earl Kane's expression was wonderful: "What? you want to beat Mr. Padit? I advise you to dispel such thoughts." ”

Eric stared into Earl Kane's eyes and didn't dare to leave for a moment.

Hearing Eric's humorous banter, Marella couldn't laugh at all. She tilted her ears and looked at Eric with a strange look.

"I don't think I heard clearly. What you just said, Mr. Papitt?"
