After handing Edward over to Edith, Lancelot returned to his lodgings along the tunnels, where he needed to go through the formalities and arrange for him to have free access to the palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Edward, led by Edith, learned about the Shadow Guard.

The Shadow Guard is a secret organization, even if it is a high-ranking Austrian organization, few people know about it, and this organization only exists in legends.

The Holy Shadow Guards are all over the country, and they are few in number, but all of them are elite. The Capital Guard numbered about three hundred, most of whom were skilled men. Their captain, Edith, is said to have been able to compete with Lancelot in his heyday.

Edward's arrival was greeted by all members of the Guard. Edward's strength and will in the Freedom War were recognized by many of them.

"What a secret organization, there are a total of 323 people in this cave, of which 286 are elite+, two heroes-, one hero, and the others are elite-, and your current comprehensive ability can only be regarded as a hero-. It's not the top combat power in this organization. Richard exclaimed, the main god projection in the plane did not have so many constraints, and there were no rules and regulations between words, and he casually told Edward what his spiritual network perceived.

Edward glanced at Edith, who was very close to him, but he didn't expect that this woman, who looked very indifferent but acted very enthusiastically, actually had heroic combat power.

And the two heroes, Edith only introduced one, and the other seems to be hidden in the shadows.

It was an old mage, his whole body wrapped in black mage robes, revealing only an old, short-bearded chin.

"Edward Lee, welcome to your joining, I'm Vice-Captain Buck, I didn't expect the brave King of Gladiators to join our Shadow Guard. Old Mage Buck smiled and reached out to shake Edward's hand.

From the palm of his hand, Edward could feel a thick layer of calluses, which was the result of a long period of using weapons to slash, which showed that the old mage was not weak in close combat.

"Captain Edith, pay attention to your image, although Edward is your idol, he is now your subordinate, and your closeness to him will make many team members laugh. Buck quipped.

"Shut up, old fellow, am I the captain or are you the captain. Edith treated Edward softly, but her attitude towards others completely exposed her true nature, "Whoever wants to disobey, you can choose to fight alone." ”

As soon as Edith said this, all the players present ran away with a wry smile.

The old mage seemed to have gotten used to the captain's rough attitude, and he didn't get angry, but just laughed and said, "Of course you are the captain, but as the vice-captain, I have the right to remind you that what you have to do now is to tell our future vice-captain about the rules of the Holy Shadow Guard." ”

"I don't need you to remind me, dear Edward, come to my room, and I'll give you a detailed explanation of the rules of the Shadow Guard. With that, Edith pulled Edward into the depths of the cave.

Shortly after Edward and Edith left, a faint figure appeared beside Buck.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has found another outstanding person, and this Edward's potential is amazing. This identity is hidden in the shadow of the cave, said quietly.

"I was surprised to be told that by the Eye of Prophecy. Buck laughed.

"No, I can't see his future clearly, but I feel a strong sense of righteousness. ”

"With such a strong and righteous character, there is absolutely no problem with his character, and his potential must be profound. ”

"His arrival will surely bring light to our unseen organization. ”

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

The next morning, Edward left the Shadow Guard headquarters with a dizzy head - not from drinking, but from Edith's influence.

The captain was so enthusiastic about him that she took the opportunity to talk about the rules, and she touched almost every muscle of Edward, so that Edward, who was still very ignorant of this aspect, could not adapt to it. If Edward hadn't refused, maybe the other party would have wanted to sleep with Edward......

After most of the night's explanations, Edward learned about the duties and routines of the Shadow Guard.

Everyone in the Holy Shadow Guard has an identity on the surface, and the identity that Lancelot arranged for Edward is to be an instructor in the palace guard recruit barracks. With this status, although he was still a commoner, he could enter and leave the palace in an open and honest manner - of course, the royal residence could not be entered casually. Edith's identity is actually the deputy commander of the Austrian First Legion, and Buck's identity is a member of the Court Mage Council.

Every night, most of the members of the Guard would gather at the headquarters, where they would complete some special training, and they would not have to stay at the headquarters the rest of the time.

After Edward and Lancelot had breakfast, they left Aocheng and returned to Fort Little Lake. When he entered the gates of Fort Little Lake, he saw the beautiful figure.

"Edward!" Annia wept with joy, and rushed over with the corner of her skirt, and threw herself into Edward's arms.

"It's all right, Aniah, you don't have to worry about life anymore. Edward was a little at a loss, but the beautiful elf took good care of him in the arena, often taking the risk of giving him some good food, good equipment, and a great love of listening to him play the harp, which made his heart very grateful.

But it was only grateful, Edward, who was only fifteen years old and had been fighting for a long time, had no idea about the relationship between men and women. He just wanted to set Annia free as a way to repay her for taking care of her.

"Hmm. Annia blushed and left Edward's embrace, bowed her head and whispered, "You are my master now, and I will take care of this little castle for you." ”

"No, no, Aniah, you're no longer anyone's slave, you're free now and you can live the life you want. ”

After Edward finished speaking, Aniah's face immediately turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Don't you need me?

"I know that since the withering of the World Tree, we elves have no eternal life and great talents, and all kingdoms have treated us elves as the lowest creatures in order to avenge the contempt and insults we have made to them during the height of our elven kingdom. But the Edward I know shouldn't be like that. ”

"No, absolutely not, don't get me wrong......" Edward scrambled to dismiss, but found that for a moment there was no way to explain it in words.

"The life I want is to be with you forever, Edward. Annia blushed, but looked determined.

"Okay, okay. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't dislike it, you can stay by my side forever. Edward couldn't see the other party's sad expression, and it wasn't difficult for him to stay by his side.

As everyone knows, for the elf girl, saying such words is equivalent to being committed to the other party forever.
