The city of Medin is not big, but it is bustling and bustling.

It is the commercial centre and transport hub for the entire western part of Lulian. In times of peace, there were countless merchant groups from the south to the north to buy all kinds of magic cores, furs, herbs and other specialties in the Demon Beast Mountain Range here. There were also many slave traders who would venture into the mountains to capture barbarians, elves and dwarves as slaves.

Elves are usually sold to nobles as maids, and barbarians, dwarves, and some captives captured by the nobles who attack each other will be sold to places where strong labor is required, or directly into the gladiatorial arena.

And during the war years, because of the release of a large number of mercenary missions and the recruitment of Archduke Loulian, more people came here. Some of these people were merchants, gamblers, wandering knights, and crook thieves who came to make war money, while others were professional mercenaries and robbers who were born to do some work of licking blood where there was war.

The lord of the city, Baron Smith, has a gentle and friendly personality, and his family has ruled the city of Medin for nearly thirty years, and has always been respected and loved by the subjects of the territory. It's just that, because it is adjacent to the arrogant and domineering Viscount Wenger, the surrounding area of the territory is often harassed by the tax collection team of the Wenger Viscountate. Despite Baron Smith's repeated concessions, it has had little effect, and the conflict between the two sides over the territory and trade taxes has intensified recently.

Because Philip's second brigade was not stationed in Edin City, if the Red Leaf Knights entered this territory ruled by the lord Baron Smith, they would have to negotiate and greet the local defenders and Baron Smith for a while, so Philip simply asked the brigade to stop a kilometer away from the city.

"Roy, since you insist on not going to the imperial capital, I won't force you. Philip patted Roy on the shoulder, "But if you consider me a friend, there's one thing you have to listen to me." ”

"No problem," Roy laughed.

Maybe it's because of Elethea, or maybe it's just because of the fact that this guy who dares to face off against the fair knight of Philip is pleasing to the eye, Roy has a natural affinity for Philip. In addition, Philip was grateful to Roy for saving his life and deliberately made friends, although the journey was short, the two had nothing to say.

"I've left a few people for you. Philip said to Roy, turning his head to the side.

Roy looked in surprise, only to see a two-star impartial knight and three brave knights, nodding and smiling at him while taking off their armor and changing into civilian clothes.

"They are all knights of the Carré family," Philip said, "and I let them protect you with me." ”

Roy was startled. As a small civilian, with these four people by his side, I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything without saying anything. Immediately shook his head again and again: "No, no, no"

"Don't be too busy refusing, listen to me," Philip said with a smile, "You are the guardian knight of Elethea, if I have found you but failed to protect you, I am afraid that I will not dare to return to the imperial capital in my life." So, even if you do me a favor, you have to take them. ”

"But"

"It's nothing, they don't need you to pay, what are you afraid of. Philip interrupted Roy dryly, and continued, "They are the knights of the family who are dedicated to the guard, and they know distance and proportion. I'm sure you won't see them when you don't need them. You just don't save it. ”

"How's that?" Philip squinted at Roy, "If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have been split in half with an axe." If my father and my grandfather knew, it wouldn't be unusual for them to send you a team. Besides, I treat you as a friend, not to repay the favor, if you don't agree, I will tie you up and tie you back to the imperial capital."

"How embarrassing is this" Hearing that he didn't let himself pay his salary, and he didn't follow him closely, Roy was already excited, and he was fake polite with a smile on his face, but his head clicked quickly

You must know that on the Avalon Continent, not all nobles have family knights who are dedicated to guarding.

The so-called family knights, although they have the same status as other knights, but in fact, these people are servants in the family. Those who can have knights as servants are usually some big nobles. And to have a just knight and a brave knight as a servant, I'm afraid there is only a top family like Carré.

"Haha" Philip couldn't help laughing, punched Roy in the chest, turned around and beckoned, "Ivan, you guys come here." ..., Philip introduced Roy to the four knights led by Ivan, the just knight. In addition to Ivan, who was tall and burly and had a beard, the other three brave knights were Jem, Jesse and Jackson. He is also a sturdy and experienced veteran, and is known as the three heroes under Philip.

After the introduction, Philip agreed on a code for Roy to greet Ivan and others, turned around again, and carefully explained to Ivan and others, repeatedly emphasizing that Roy must be protected. Anyway, the Carré family will support it.

As soon as he said that, Roy broke out in a cold sweat. Although he knew that the children of the top nobles were flying and domineering, he didn't expect that even a guy like Philip, who seemed to be quite cautious and stable, was the same in his bones.

And several knights of the family, who didn't care at all, seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing, and only agreed again and again without hesitation.

After being sent to the gate of Edin by Philip, Roy said goodbye to him and turned around and entered the city with Luke and the others.

Philip turned his horse's head as he watched the black-haired boy lead his equally rustic fat dog like a confused hillbilly into the bustling crowd of the city gates.

Look up at the sky.

In the red light of the setting sun, the wind is already surging

At night, the inn tavern is bustling with activity.

Roy took a shower, changed into a new set of linen clothes, sat in the corner of the tavern while drinking rum, listening to the music played by a few wandering entertainers, and watching the people come and go, only to feel as if every cell in his body had come to life again.

Beside them, Meng Meng and Eric were shouting and punching, Luke was listening to the music with a cool face, and Julie, who had reintegrated into the group, was whispering with Nicole and Eva. Perhaps it was the day's experience that was too exciting, and several girls burst into laughter like silver bells from time to time when they talked about the excitement.

This hotel is located on the edge of the square in the heart of Medin City. Every night, the magic fountain in the center of the square spews out a colorful jet of water. The inns and taverns next to it formed a whole street, and the smell of food, music, the laughter of people singing and dancing, the clatter of wine glasses and the loud noise of rough mercenaries talking loudly wafted through the air.

From time to time, there would be a roar of exclamation and the sound of tables and chairs overturning, which was the daily repertoire of the show—the brawl.

The mercenaries, adventurers, and wandering knights gathered in Medin City were all hot-tempered guys, and they were even more reckless when they drank alcohol. In addition, the wind and dust girls who gather here every night and some waitresses who are also engaged in the leather and meat business attract jealousy, and they will fight if they don't agree with each other. It would have been strange if there had been no fight that day.

This is Roy's favorite life. Drinking, eating meat, taking risks, having a good woman**, having a grudge, being happy and vendettas, doing everything a man can do. After living in isolation and despair for a year and a half, I haven't enjoyed such a sound, such an air, for a long time.

"Humans are rude," Malt sneaked out from behind the collar of Roy's coat and hid behind his neck to look out. When I saw a burly, open-chested tripolar mercenary with his big furry hands pinching the plump hostess's buttocks, the hostess screamed.

The hostess angrily pouted the mercenary's hand and poured the ale that should have been given to him directly on his head.

"Hahahaha" The mercenary and his companion next to him burst into a burst of laughter, laughing and sticking out their tongues to lick the wine flowing from their heads, very happy.

"You are not allowed to touch people's butts," Malt threatened, pulling a strand of Roy's hair.

"Can you manage it?" Roy pouted.

Malt bit him the neck, so painful that he almost reached out and grabbed the little girl one by one.

"Roy, are you really not going to come with us to Mani City?".

Meng Meng touched Roy with his arm and asked aloud amid the noise of the tavern.

"No," Roy knew that Meng Meng and the others would return to Muni City tomorrow in a public carriage. But he still had a lot of things to do in Medin City, and he shook his head and said, "It's useless to go to Muni City now." In a month, I will go to Muni City to apply for the first training camp, and then I will come back to you. "...,"You liar" As soon as Nicole heard Roy's words, Nicole immediately remembered, glared at him and said, "It's obviously a magician, why didn't you say it at first?"

"You didn't ask. Roy looked silly.

"Hmph" Nicole was angry for a while, and snorted: "It's a shame that everyone is still worried that you won't be able to enter the academy in the summer, and you have wasted this opportunity to add credits." ”

As she spoke, she asked curiously, "Are you really just a four-star Langxing mage?"

"I don't admit I'm a mage," Roy said with a stinking face, "I'm a knight." ”

Nicole went berserk. Julie snorted coldly and turned her face to the side. And Luke and the others, who also couldn't understand why Roy was so obsessed with the knight, looked at each other.

"Roy, in our academy, magicians are much more popular than knights. Eva held her chin and stared hard into Roy's eyes. She felt that this hillbilly was the best looking in his eyes. But he always likes to droop his eyelids and look dull.

Eva was right. Eric echoed: "You now have the strength of a four-star Langxing mage, and if you apply for the academy, you can directly advance to Class S of the third year." That status can't compare to being a first-year freshman who has just made a ring appearance. Besides, your current Dou Qi is only at the fifth level, and if you want to cultivate to the first order and condense the battle ring, a month is simply not enough. ”

"My dream is to become a paladin. In Roy's mind, Tom's smiling face appeared again, "This is also my best brother's deathbed wish." So, even if my magic level is now at the level of a god, I'm still a knight. Knight is not just a profession for me and my brother, it's a belief"

"Well said" Meng Meng slapped the table and raised his wine glass: "Knight is a man's profession." A horse chasing the wind and electricity, a gun crisscrossing the wilderness, walking the world and chivalrous righteousness, this kind of spirit, how can a magician compare, for the future of our academy another paladin toast"

Everyone raised their glasses and bumped into each other.

At this moment, suddenly, a mysterious voice came from the side: "Why is the magician not as good as a knight?"

Everyone looked back, but they saw not far away, a young mage wearing a magic robe with a proud demeanor was sitting among four or five young people who looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, looking at this side coldly. They all wore uniform uniforms. The uniform has a logo with two stars and two bars on the chest.

"It's the second year of the second training camp. With a low cry from Eric, Roy noticed that several of his companions' bodies had suddenly straightened, their eyes narrowed slightly, and their backs stiffened.

This state is no stranger to Roy, and it is the instinctive reaction of the Warcraft when it encounters its natural enemies.

Roy stole his back back into his chair with a blank expression. Mai'er, who was crawling on the back of his neck, couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw him like this.

In a desperate situation, as long as you encounter a situation where two tigers are fighting, the head of the black hand who is ready to hide on the side is this virtue.

Because Meng Meng's voice was loud when he spoke, he was heard by the mage, and at this time he only stared at him with mocking eyes.

"The first training camp has lost the competition for nine consecutive years, and if we were us, we would have been hiding in the academy and dying of shame. Where is there still a cheek to brag about here, hehe, even if the knight is better than the mage, it is not your turn to talk nonsense here. Keep my voice smaller, don't lose the face of the three major training camps"

"What are you doing with a bunch of wretchedness?" The other young men sitting next to the mage glanced at Meng Meng and the others coldly, turned their heads away with disdain, and said to their fellow mages: "Come, let's drink, just treat someone as a fart." ”

"Let's chat, what's the matter with you" Nicole's temper came up, and she immediately slapped the table and got up.

"Sit down," one of the students on the other side scolded, "Didn't anyone in your first training camp teach you how to talk politely to your seniors?"

Nicole was so angry that her face flushed.

If the other party only grasps the language disease in Meng Meng's words, it will be okay. But in the other party's words, he directly aimed the finger at the first training camp and made disrespectful remarks, and Nicole couldn't bear this tone.

As we all know, the three training camps are one and the same on the surface. But in fact, from the beginning of its establishment, the open and secret battles between the three major training camps have never stopped.

The first training camp, which was originally known as the cradle of the royal knights, was the strongest. But now it is gradually falling behind the second and third training camps for various reasons. ..., especially in the training camp competition in the last ten years, the first training camp has lost to the other two training camps in the duel of seven subjects for nine consecutive years.

At that time, the Grand Duke of Saint-Solan stipulated that there should be an annual competition between the training camps, which meant competition and exchange, and there was no need to treat the other party as an enemy. But when it comes to the status, reputation and various interests of the training camp, the competition has changed its tone.

Every time the trainees of the first training camp encountered the trainees of the other two battalions outside, they would be ridiculed by the other party so that they couldn't raise their heads. Especially in the actual combat cultivation of the fighters in the spring of the three major training camps, almost every large and small city close to the Warcraft Mountain Range would have a conflict for the same reason.

For many years, it is in this tavern, and I am afraid that it is not the first time that the students of the three major training camps have fought and brawled.

After the anger passed, Nicole calmed down and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Miss, I'm standing happily" The woman's bickering is not comparable to a man, even Nicole, a sharp mouth never admits defeat, and at the moment she sneered at each other: "You are in charge of the heavens and the earth, and you can also take care of other people's butts?" ”

The "boom" tavern was like a nest that had been blown up, and the people who had long been attracted by this side couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The student had a flat, flat-like face, and a mouth that was really not small. When Nicole said this, it really made people feel that the image was appropriate.

For a while, everyone only laughed forward and backwards. Several mercenaries lay on the table and kept patting their hands on the table. The two businessmen who were chatting laughed so hard that they squirted out a sip of wine, and their faces turned red. Even the hostess who had been eaten tofu just now couldn't hold back, snorted, and suddenly deducted the tray in her hand to the mercenary who ate her tofu.

With a "hula", several people in the second training camp all stood up.

"Get out," the mage said coldly.

"Phew" Luke, Meng Meng and the others also stood up suddenly, "What kind of thing are you, you have to roll yourself and roll enough"

Hula, pop, the sound of tables toppling over chairs.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, suddenly only a "slow" crowd flashed away, and a sturdy man led several burly guards over.

"Oh my God. The stout man glanced at both sides. As soon as he saw the mage, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Dear Mr. Mage, my tavern can't stand your toss. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Nicole, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Miss, if you want to fight here, I'm afraid you will have to pay me for the loss first." We are a small business, and the big guys get together, just want to be happy. The tavern is going to be demolished, what should we do? 6,000 gold Lulang, put it in my hands, you can fight it here. Otherwise."

He turned his head again to assess the strength of the two sides, turned around, and said to Nicole with a smile: "I'm afraid I have to ask you to go out." ”

"Why?" Julie, who had been silent, said loudly, "Why don't you ask them for money and let them out?"

"Well, the reason is simple," the strong man's eyes slipped over Julie, and Hang Erlang said with a wicked smile: "You are easier to bully than them." ”

The trainees of the second training camp of "Hahahaha" and the surrounding customers burst into laughter at the same time.

Many of the mercenaries and adventurers in the tavern knew this stout man.

He is the owner of this tavern, he is also a mercenary, he has the strength of a two-star brave knight, and he has a group of brothers under him, while running the tavern, he also runs a casino and a courtyard, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the entire Medin City. After decades of mixing, he is the most a guy who does not suffer.

In this world, it was originally only about strength.

The sturdy man only came in and took a look, and immediately knew that it was more cost-effective to open the crime.

In terms of strength, in the past ten years, the second training camp has pressed the first training camp to raise its head. And they are all second-year students, and there is a mage among them. Wearing weapons also doesn't look like an ordinary person. On the other hand, the first training camp is not only first-year students, but also obviously civilians.

Offending a couple of civilian cadets of the first training camp is nothing. But if you offend the mage who is a treasure of treasures no matter which training camp you put it in, I'm afraid your good days will come to an end. If you accidentally hurt the mage, you can simply escape. ..., therefore, after hearing the other party's beautiful girl's questioning, the strong man simply did the favor to the end and tore his face directly.

In the tavern, everyone laughed.

For a group of mercenaries who lick blood from their knives, guards who travel from south to north, and people who are at the bottom of society, doing all kinds of things that can be seen in the light and cannot be seen, such things are nothing more common. There is no right or wrong, and there is no mercy. Isn't it normal for a bunch of rookies to be bullied?

Looking at the pale faces of the few fledgling students in front of him, he was trembling with anger, and a group of men laughed more and more happily. Many people hugged their arms and waved like flies.

"Let's go, little girl, if you don't go, be careful that we can't leave. ”

"Get out of here"

"A bunch of rookies, what are you doing here, waiting for your mother to feed?"

"Don't be uninteresting, it's really a fight, it's disturbing us, and you are allowed to go out and even your mother doesn't know you. ”

"It's a beautiful three little girls, otherwise, let me pinch my ass, I'll carry this for you"

In the midst of the commotion, Julie, Nicole and the others' faces became paler and paler. Luke and Meng, Eric gritted his teeth and clenched the hilt of his sword.

"It's really shameless and skinless, people have told you to get out, what are you still doing here?" Several students in the second training camp were only red with excitement, and the mage made a handprint with an arrogant face, and said tauntingly: "Or, you want to try magic, be beaten into a dead dog and then dragged out?"

"Did you hear that?" The stout man was a little impatient, and his eyes glared suddenly: "Get out"

"your ** fart"

In the tavern, there was a sudden silence.

Everyone looked at the rookies in disbelief, and saw that the tallest swordsman among them stepped out of the way, revealing a black-haired young man with a dumb face from behind.

The stout man's eyes narrowed.

"What did you say?"

"Don't you dare to mess with that mage, just dare to mess with us?" Roy stood up, clenching his fists tightly.

"What's the matter?" the stout man glanced at Roy up and down, and sneered: "Is it just because of your fighting spirit?"

Before the words fell, I heard a loud bang on the ground

A boulder that appeared out of thin air slammed down on the second training camp mage, knocking him to the ground in a large shape.

"And now?"

The whole tavern was silent

Finally written out. Bow, namaste.
