Chapter 008: (Silent Knight)

At this moment, Gylrenville was in the duke's study admiring a beautiful set of armor hanging from the wall. Nothing appealed to this man more than armor, weapons, and horses.

This is a set of Tok-style full-body armor that is famous for its extravagance and beauty, and was made by the top armor smiths used by the royal family in the early days of the Empire, and its cost is staggeringly expensive, weighing more than eighty pounds.

In recognition of the outstanding exploits of the Harungus family, William I, the founding emperor of the Karad Empire, commissioned the creation of this exquisite set of armor and gave it to Duke Roddy Harungus in public. Successive generations of Duke Harungus have never worn this heavy and precious armor.

When Gyloronville had completed his trip to Fort St. Ruz Godda, he spent all the money the Duke had given him in the blacksmith shop of Old Lemmon on 'Gaijiao Street'.

Ten days ago, after the battle with the Rhodoks in the South Harbor of Albel, there were always some soldiers who had some loot that was not suitable for them to get rid of and exchange it for the coins they wanted.

With four dinars, Gylorenville obtained an open chain armor from a sergeant, which had been ripped from the corpse of a Rhodoc nobleman. After making this good deal, he threw the rest of the money into the blacksmith's shop to repair the chainmail shirt.

Lemmon, the owner of the smithy, was always happy to entertain these brave and generous gentlemen, and although the Duke of Harengos strictly forbade the knights in his realm to duel of all kinds, the men of this era seemed to have an inexhaustible strength without war.

So old Lemmon's blacksmith shop was doing a brisk business, and his shop was always stocked with all kinds of repaired, modified, custom-made, and employer-ordered equipment, thanks to his skill in forging weapons.

After admiring the ornamental armor, Gylornville walked leisurely around the sand table to see the current situation on both sides of the Umeya River. The sword behind his back, nearly five feet long, was stuck in its scabbard, and from a distance he looked more like a priest with a stick on his back and shaking his head.

At this point, Gylrenville's eagle-like keen eyes quickly caught a figure poking out the oak side of the door—it was Iris, who was peeking to see if his father was in the study.

When Iris saw that Gylrenwell was alone in the room, he pushed open the door in front of him and walked quickly in front of the other party, while Hart, who followed behind him, quietly guarded the door and gently closed the door from the outside.

The horns of Iris's shirt were crooked, and the look on his pale cheeks was like that of a fawn caught by a stupid farmer. Iris explained his intentions in a voice that he was worried about his father's presence at any moment.

He looked up at the man with the long sword in front of him who was listening to what he was saying, and the bright eyes, the gentle attitude, and the calm listening posture all made the anxious Iris feel very relieved at the moment.

In Iris's opinion, if his father was here, everything would be hopeless. Moreover, my father would say with an iron face that he was a coward and couldn't solve the problem by himself.

When Gylrenville listened to the request of the little master in front of him, he suddenly broke away from a joy that he was about to get a new chainmail shirt, and he felt sorry for what happened to Iris in Fort St. Ruz Godda.

"I'm sorry," said Gylrenwell, crouching down and helping Iris tidy up the mess, "I'm in charge of your father's safety, so I can't leave the castle." ”

People are always full of hope, and then they are crushed by endless disappointment. Iris stood in disbelief when he heard the other man refuse his request, and his beautiful jewel-colored eyes began to build up a torrential flood.

This expression is always very lethal to those who love him, and since it is Gylrenville, he should be at a loss this time, but he still smiles gently at Iris. "There's a better fit than me, and I think he'll gladly accept to accompany you on the hunt. ”

Iris suddenly stopped the tears that were about to well-up in his eyes, and asked curiously, "Is he better than you?"

Gylrenwell replied in the affirmative, "Whether it is in the ring or on the battlefield, there are very few people who are his opponents when they are one-on-one, and I am no exception. ”

Iris said angrily, "But there is a father's order......

Without waiting for him to finish, Gyloron replied, "Your father's domain will not find a more troublesome man in his domain who is more disobedient to the decree than he is." ”

Iris curled his slender white arm and gestured, "Is he strong?"

Gylrenville smiled at his doubts, "Yes, like a giant." ”

"Hah!" Iris cried out happily at this sudden turnaround, "tell me, where is he?"

"Wait a minute," said Gylornville, who walked over to the Duke's table, tore off a small note on a parchment roll, and wrote something that only saw the signature—your friend Gylrenville. "Go to the barracks in the castle, find a squire named Exsa, give this to him, and you will find the knight you want. ”

Iris didn't look at it, grabbed the note and ran out of the room.

The door to the study did not close, and Hart, who had been waiting outside the door, could hear it clearly, and even when he heard that Gylornwell had rejected the little master's request, he almost rushed in to argue with the knight.

"Young Master," Hart stretched out his hand to stop Iris as he was about to run down the stone stairs, "I'll leave this errand to me!"

"Hart, I know the way. ”

"Of course you know the way, but this castle is your home," said Hart humbly, "and since you're going hunting, you should change into a decent hunting outfit, and perhaps a fine dagger and a hunting bow." ”

"I had only a few clothes in my closet, and in one corner of the room were a dusty wooden sword and a few wooden shields. Iris wanted to say, but replied, "But I don't have any of that." ”

Hart smiled at him and said confidently, "You go back to your room and freshen up first, and I, a loyal servant, will do the rest for you." ”

Iris handed the note he had grabbed in his hand. "Dear Hart, thank you. ”

Hart left the main castle briskly, and he took the note through the streets to the barracks in the western corner of the outer fort, and soon found the squire named Exa, who he handed the paper to the young soldier.

After reading the note, Exa told the other party, "The knight you are looking for is not in the castle right now. ”

"And where is he?"

"He's stationed at the watchtower barracks in Elbeltown," said Exa, "and I'll go and ride now to deliver this note to the knight." ”

"Will this knight agree?"

"Trust me, he'll say yes without hesitation. ”

"Since you are so sure, then I will wait for you with the young master. ”

"Two hours later, we rounded outside the city gate to the south. After leaving these words, Exa rode out of the barracks on his fast horse and galloped towards the seaport town of [Elbel], which was located to the west.

Harlan Gosburg is a fortified castle that stands on a high ground surrounded by a large forest. If it weren't for the majesty of this fortress, which was built for military purposes, it could have been viewed as the legendary gathering place of elves in the forests of Selitla.

This large area of forest is called 'Ubo Forest' by the local Swadia people, and in the territory of the Swadia Kingdom, 'Ubo Forest' is a large forest on the same level as 'Erundeg Forest'.

The former was safe and secure because of the local rulers and produced a large amount of high-quality pine needle timber, while the latter was a paradise for green forest bandits because of its location on the border of the Kingdom of Swadia.

Most of the robbers in the green forest are people who have lost their property around the forest, and they have nothing but to leave the grass in the mountains. They are mainly entrenched in the mountains and forests of the continent of Calradia, and are known as bandits in the green forest.

Leaving the woods is very dangerous for the Woodbands, so they rarely come into contact with each other, but occasionally clash over territory. Among them, the 'Brotherhood of Forests' is considered to be the most powerful of the Green Forest Bandits.

At this time, the forest is hidden in a gentle twilight, and the afternoon sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, shining golden spots on the ground. The beams that tilted down with the position of the sun were unusually dazzling to the naked eye.

The peculiar scent of the forest is also joyful, squirrels leap and move in hazelnut trees, carnivorous beasts chase their prey in the dense jungle, and some unknown little beasts step on the soft golden leaves in the bushes under the trees to feed peacefully.

At this time, in the outskirts of the forest, a group of humans on tall horses broke in. This caused a lot of noise, and suddenly a flock of birds flew up whirring, and the animals in Yubo Forest chose to avoid it, knowing that most of the animals in the road were afraid of people.

A majestic knight rode at the head of the procession, wearing a set of toth-style full-body armor that was once famous for its extravagance and beauty in the early days of the Empire.

His burqa was emblazoned with the lion insignia of Svadia royalty, and he wore a bronze bronze helmet with a cone-topped cross trimmed with gold, and a beautiful snow-white horsehair hanging from the back of a rider's head, something only a champion of athletic conventions possesses.

The luxurious beige cloak was soft and supple and covered the horse's hips, the texture and color of which were the special velvet of [Veruga], the blue brown crocodile leather buckle carried a short sword, the hilt was silver, the tail was inlaid with small grains of gold carefully decorated by the craftsman, and a knight's cross was inserted into the scabbard on the left side of the horse's belly, and the scabbard was also crocodile skin. The knight's tall and burly physique is supported by this impeccable outfit, and he is as beautiful as a god.

His carriage was a tall and majestic purebred [Virgian] war horse, whether it was from the halter or the saddle, including the rope and the horse armor, even the royal family could not pick a more delicate one, the rope was being loosely held by a hand wearing chain gloves, showing the rider's superb horseback skills.

Like its master, the war horse raised its head majestically and with a little arrogance, and paced gracefully with graceful steps.

The knight was followed by two young squires, and such a decent master made them energetic, and their faces were filled with a peculiar pride and pride.

One carried a long riding spear, a spare pack horse, a pack bag on horseback, an axe, a throwing spear, a light sword and a crossbow, various weapons, as well as food and drink. The other was holding aloft a flag of emblem, which had been seen a few days ago, a white unicorn horse embroidered with a purple background.

He was followed by seven or eight knights, although not as good as the one in the front, but the leader was also very remarkable, and they were very calmly scattered on both sides of the tail of the line to act as accompanying knights.

This battle is rare in the entire continent of Calradia, and others will definitely think that some foreign prince is traveling and playing. The only mismatch was the boy sitting in the knight's arms, our Iris.

I don't know if he was scared, surprised, or angry, but these expressions were all blended together. It was rare for him to see him today in a velvet robe with a pair of beautiful calfskin boots on his feet, how beautiful!

"Is this a deal?" said Iris, who had finally mustered up his courage, turned to look at the knight, "Do I have to let you hold it?"

The head of the cross-iron helmet was lowered as if to look at the interrogator, and he nodded slowly.

"But do you have to ride so slowly? you obviously did it on purpose!" Iris writhed angrily on the horse's back, and by this time the fear of strangers had extended to anger.

When the knights in the back saw this scene, they nestled in their helmets and laughed strangely.

"Master Iris!" the squire with the banner was Hart, and he hurried forward and said, "No, you see, the armor weighs more than fifty pounds, and the weight of the Lord himself and yours is all about saving horsepower, and you must know that it will come in handy for a while." ”

The knight glanced sideways at his squire, and nodded in acknowledgment of his claim.

Iris didn't care what Hart was saying, he just looked up at the knight fixedly, his face was covered by the cross helmet, and Iris could only see his deep, resolute eyes through the gaps in the iron helmet's face.

I don't know what the reason is, his little heart is impressed by this silent and majestic aura, maybe it is because he can't see the face of the knight, and he doesn't know who he is in his father's territory, this mysterious aura and the unique characteristics of the knight make him feel an inexplicable awe.

Iris asked, "Can't you really speak?"

The knight shook his head.

"Will you promise not to hurt me?"

The knight nodded, placed his left hand parallel to his chest, performed a standard knightly salute, and hammered his chest with a dull and powerful metal thump in affirmation.

"Alright!" Iris turned back to look around, making sure he was still some distance from the hunting grounds, and leaned back and muttered as if in a compromise, "Then everything will be as you wish." ”

At this time, the silent knight quietly turned around and gave a thumbs up to his companions behind him, who also smiled and waved the cavalry spear and emblem in his hand twice.
