As one of the oldest nobles in Shakdam, the Slark family has always occupied a prominent position in the kingdom. www.biquge.info After the fall of the original Shakdam Kingdom, they followed in the footsteps of the Knight King Reinhardt and rebuilt the fairytale-like kingdom for Princess Rose. And the Slark family has always been a supporter of the king.

When Lin Qiu came to the study of the ancient castle under the guidance of Vera, the white-haired current head of the family was holding a thick ancient book and reading it with relish. Seeing the two of them coming, he politely put down the book, got up and said, "It looks like you've fully recovered." ”

With that, he gave Vera a look, who nodded and stepped back.

Waiting for Vera to close the door of the study, Fisher made a gesture and invited Lin Qiu to take a seat. The book on the table is not a fairy tale, it reads "Chronicle of Shakdam".

Fisher's voice was very kind: "When I have nothing to do, I like to stay alone in the study and flip through the books. ”

As he spoke, he turned the book to a certain page and pushed it in front of Lin Qiu. In the middle of the dense text, there is a striking picture, in which there is only a cyan leaf, and the author annotates in small print: The cyan mark of the ancient Shakdam kingdom is inherited from the Slavic family.

This desert kingdom has a long history like the ancient kingdom of Akarandu, at the beginning of the birth of the kingdom, this cyan leaf has been guarding this kingdom, cyan, in this kingdom symbolizes the law, from ancient times to the present, the Slark family in this kingdom, means absolute justice.

The book contains detailed information about all the nobles and historical events of Shakdam, and the narrative of the Slark family is particularly detailed, occupying one-fifth of the thickness. The old man didn't urge Lin Qiu either, and let him finish this thick history of the Slark family.

"Needless to say, you should know why the Slark family took you in. ”

Fisher took out the stone engraved with the cyan mark from the pocket of his robe, and put it on the table with a complicated expression: "Possessing this mark means that you have a lot of relationship with the Byron Empire. ”

It's not a question, it's an affirmative tone. It is hard to imagine that this kind old man has the power of life and death in this country.

"I have the bad news that the person who once held this mark is dead. ”

"I've guessed it. ”

Fisher sighed, "Otherwise, he would have brought back this sigil himself." You've heard a lot of stories these days, and I guess you wouldn't mind hearing one more. ”

This stone, engraved with the imprint of cyan leaves, is the family crest of the Slark family, and only the descendants of the Slark family are eligible to wear it. As stated in the book, the Blue Mark is a lineage of the Slark family, but this ancient tradition has been broken in Fisher's generation. The cause was the sandstorm that swept the entire kingdom and the overwhelming hordes of monsters, and when Shakdam was dying, the nobles of the kingdom formed two factions.

The Knight King Reinhardt decided to live and die with Shakdam, while the other faction, led by the Purple Mark, advocated abandoning Shakdam and leading the people of Shakdam to the Byron Empire. The two factions had a great disagreement, and in the end, under the irreconcilable disagreement, the patriarch of the Purple Family, led his followers to leave Shakdam. Fisher's son was one of the many who left.

He was accompanied by a family crest symbolizing the heritage of the cyan Slark family.

"This stone has fallen into your hands, which means that you are my son's most trusted knight. ”

Lin Qiu didn't pick up the topic. According to the analysis of the current situation, the person his son really trusts is the soldering iron, or the former Brecht who was the captain of the knight squad of the City Lord's Mansion, but Brecht undoubtedly failed the other party, he carried this mark, and he did not muster the courage to find the lost kingdom of Shakdam for more than ten years.

"Did he ask you anything when he handed over this tablet to you?"

"Nope. ”

Although Lin Qiu could immediately make up some fanciful arguments, he really didn't want to fool the old man in this kind of matter: "But I heard that the person who killed them was an organization called Spades. ”

"Really...... Since you have traveled all the way to bring this mark here, you deserve a reward—an official position, money, or a beautiful woman, as long as it is within my means, I will give it to you. ”

Lin Qiu thought about it, and he almost blurted out: "Money, the more the merrier!"

But at the thought of Alyssa, this impulse was inexplicably suppressed. The Slark family is the nobility of Shakdam, and their control of intelligence should be top-notch. And if Alyssa had been here like him, then even if the information about Quicksand might be false, she would definitely visit the Knight King to determine the disaster that destroyed the original Shakdam.

"Intelligence. ”

He couldn't help but say the answer beyond the three, and when he heard the "information", Fisher finally showed a look of surprise.

Lin Qiu continued: "You should have seen a young and beautiful female knight with short maroon hair before, if you can tell me her movements, this matter will be written off. ”

He believed that with Elisa's outstanding appearance and temperament, anyone who met her would definitely be impressed. And Fisher quickly gave his satisfactory answer: "I saw her at the palace a week ago, but I am afraid I cannot answer you about her movements...... In two days' time, however, I can take you to His Majesty Reinhardt, who will surely answer your questions. ”

As if afraid that Lin Qiu would not understand, Fisher added: "Two days later, it will be the grandest festival of Shakdam......

From Fisher's introduction, Lin Qiu probably learned the true face of the "grandest festival", in short, it is a combination of a grand light and a story party, because two days later, it is Princess Rose's birthday, and in order to celebrate her birthday, all the residents of Shakdam will gather in the square for a "story contest".

Although he didn't know what others thought, Lin Qiu always felt that it was a very stupid act for a group of adults to gather around the square and have a "story contest" for children to play. And it seems that everything in this country is centered on Princess Rose.

At that time of the year, Fisher said, Princess Rose would appear there in person and select ten of the best from the contest to have dinner with them. This is the only chance for ordinary people to get up close and personal with Princess Rose, so whether they really like the story or not, countless people flock to this contest every year.

And there's only one reason why they flock to it.

Princess Rose is known as the most beautiful person on this continent.

"I would venture to ask, the female knight you are looking for should be someone very important to you, right?"

Lin Qiu nodded without hesitation: "Yes." ”

Objectively speaking, with Alyssa's status in the Order, he can live a life in the imperial capital in the future, and subjectively speaking, Alyssa is his future wife!

Therefore, it makes sense that he would have to bring Alyssa back to Holutia.
