"Is there anything else that can be done?" asked Aigna again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes," Mu nodded, "take the initiative to give up Dehrim, and wait for the three countries to fight back when the city is bloodied." ”

"Sounds like a good plan!"

"It depends on what the Duke is reluctant to do, but I don't see it. Mu stall spread his hands.

"Why?"

"It's very simple, if the territory is lost, it is really lost, even if you fight back, it will no longer belong to you, but will be handed over to the king for redistribution. Given that Haraus has always wanted to restore the policy of centralization during the Swadia Empire, it is unlikely that it will be sealed again. ”

"This... ”

"So, the only way left for the Duke is to defend it. Mu shrugged helplessly, "But this has nothing to do with us, it's good that we can live well now." ”

Agna closed her eyes in some pain, but nodded anyway.

Jamila gave the female knight a strange look and asked, "So, master, what should I bring, do I need camping equipment?"

"There's no need," Mu shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten, I also have a property in Djerkhala, and I should clean it to live in, and... Mu looked around the hall, "There are no particularly valuable things in this house, it's a pity that these collections are collected." ”

。。。

"Huh, take refuge in Djerkhara?" the one-eyed dragon was unhappy when he heard this, which meant that he would have a lot less work, and even more so that he would have a lot less dinars, but when Mu threw a full bag of money that could be used as a meteor hammer into the one-eyed dragon's arms, he was immediately out of action.

"I'll spend it in Djerkhala," Mu said, "and I'll deduct as much as I have left from your salary!"

On the way to Djerkhara, they happened to meet the caravan rushing to Viruga, and after hearing the news that Svadia was fighting again, the caravan leader also chose to return to Djerkhara with their boss, but the latter went on vacation and took refuge, while they were preparing to enter the Salander Sultan south, since Svadia had made a move against Rhodok, then it was time for Rhodok's main army to make up his mind to return to the army. Djerkhara, Rhodoc Public University.

The student standing on the bell tower looked at the hourglass hanging on the pillar, until the last grain of sand fell, and he rang the big bell in front of him fiercely.

Dangdang~ The melodious bell suddenly spread throughout the university, and the originally quiet school soon became noisy. After all, the people studying here are all young people with strong blood, and the strict schedule makes them very uncomfortable.

An old professor with a gray beard walked out surrounded by a group of well-dressed young students, and Mu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately straightened his clothes, walked to the old professor's side, and bowed slightly.

"Mr. Sanders, long time no see. ”

The old professor looked up, angry and funny, "It's you bastard again!"

The surrounding students were shocked, and immediately saluted Mu Xing. There is no one else to be called a bastard by the old professor except the big merchant and their big brother who runs rampant throughout Calradia.

"Okay, okay," Mu waved to his juniors, "everyone hurry up and rest, the lunch break is precious, Professor Sanders wants to have lunch with me." ”

The old professor snorted coldly, led Mu into his office, and after instructing the maid to make two lunches, he sat down behind his desk and teased, "They are all powerful characters, why do you still come to me to eat?"

"The food in school is still the best," Mu smiled and sat across from the old professor, "especially when the teacher treats him." ”

The old professor snorted coldly again.

"Sir, it's okay now, it looks like you have a lot of students now. ”

"Thanks to you, I can go back to heaven sooner. The old professor rolled his eyes.

"Sir, you seem to be in good spirits now, and you will not have a problem living another thirty or fifty years. ”

Mu and Sanders also have some origins. After Mu's trading house was basically mature, he studied for several years at the Rhodoc Public University in Djerkhala, and the subject he studied was the heraldic study of Sanders.

To be honest, heraldry is in an awkward position. Because this is a discipline that studies the family history of various aristocratic families and the evolution process of heraldry, it cannot bring tangible benefits to the lords, and heraldic scholars often choose to serve as historians or ceremonial officials, but they are not as good as the professionals trained in the court, so since the beginning of the course, few people have been interested.

So Mu's arrival made him happy, and he did his best to give everything he knew to Mu, and Mu did not disappoint him, and even ended all his courses half a year early and graduated from college with excellent grades. Just when he expected Mu to be active in the court of a certain nobleman as an outstanding historian, he found that this bastard actually ran to the trade road and went on a killing spree in the shopping mall, which made the old gentleman vomit blood in anger.

However, less than a year later, an incident occurred that changed everyone's attitude towards heraldry.

That is, Mu took in a down-and-out knight on the trade route, and later the knight's brother died in battle, and he successfully inherited a large family. In order to repay Mu's kindness for taking him in, Mu's caravan was given the green light in the territory, which made Mu's business house quickly climb a notch.

All the merchants thought it was a jealous coincidence, and Mu was silent about it. Until one time, he had a dinner with several acquaintances of the Chamber of Commerce, and when he was half drunk and half awake, he bragged about it to his peers.

"Pathetic, those ... Those idiots think I'm lucky, stupid!" Mu stepped on the chair and patted his chest drunkenly, "Hmph, I... I took the knight and dangled it in front of them for so long... For so long, they didn't notice that on the shield he was carrying behind his back, it was... It is the predecessor of the emblem of a large family. Mu hummed and chirped twice, and continued, "I can hold the family heirloom... Can the people who have passed down the military equipment be ordinary people?"

Soon, the news spread, and there was an uproar. After that, well-informed businessmen found out that this guy Mu had studied heraldry at university. In the following month, the old professor Sanders's heraldry suddenly went from being a crowd to a full house.

In fact, if it weren't for Mu, heraldry would not have been as grand as it is now.

It's just that the old gentleman doesn't appreciate it. It is true that he has a lot more students, but they are all speculative. Although there were many students who really wanted to study heraldry, the old gentleman still felt that this was an insult to his discipline.

However, the old gentleman didn't get angry for a while, picked up a spoonful of soft mashed potatoes and stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it slowly, "I said, I haven't seen you for a few years, how can you be a busy man today and think to come and see me, an old man?"

"Hehe, how can you say that," Mu Hehe laughed twice, "Djerkhara is not on the trade road, so naturally he can't come to see you often." Now, it's rare to give myself a vacation, won't I just come back and sit?"

"Are you going to sit down?" the old gentleman said with some sarcasm in his voice, "It's okay to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and if you have something, talk about it quickly, while I still have patience." ”

"Well, that's right... Mu scratched the back of his head, "Actually... I saw a coat of arms, but I didn't recognize which one it was, no, I wanted you to take a look. ”

"Oh?" said the old gentleman, raising an eyebrow, "you don't even recognize the coat of arms? ”

"Well, right here. Mu took out a piece of paper folded in several stacks from his breast pocket and unfolded it in front of Professor Sanders. Sanders stood up slightly and put on his glasses.

On the paper unfolded by Mu, a coat of arms is drawn, and the curved and bewitching lines are coiled with each other, but it is twisted into a budding bud, which is very elegant.

"This... The old professor stared at him for a long time, but finally sat back in his chair, took off his glasses, and wiped them slowly with the hem of his clothes, while frowning and pondering deeply, "Where did you see that?"

"On a straight sword," Mu replied honestly, "carved into the place of the gauntlet, and it seems to be some years old." ”

"Is that so?" the old professor pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up, walked to a row of bookshelves, and searched carefully for something. Is there any result, Mr. Sanders?"

"This coat of arms is very peculiar, I have the impression," said the old professor, slowly rummaging through the book, "and... It doesn't seem to be the coat of arms of the family.。。。 But... Ah, I found it, this should be it!"

Mr. Sanders pulled out a large, worn-out thick-skinned book from the shelf, which looked to be as old as his beard.

"What kind of book is this?" Mu was a little surprised, he had read all of Mr. Sanders' books, but he had no impression of this one.

"This is what a businessman sent me after you graduated, to give his son a relationship. Mr. Sanders snorted, "Sometimes, I have to say, you bastard is still a little useful. ”

He ignored Mu's wry smile, and said while flipping through the book, "This is a collection of poems, and it is one of the few forbidden books that has survived the purge of the Great Empire." ”

"Forbidden books?"

"That's right, this book is a chronicle of knightly legends from the time of the Swadian Empire, and is one of the genres strictly forbidden by the Kalad Empire. Professor Sanders explained, "Mainly for ... ”

"To stop the spread of chivalry, the core of Swadian culture, to break the system of Ryrdian culture ideologically, and to consolidate the rule of the empire, they also executed many bards. Mu replied skillfully.

The old professor nodded, "That's right, it seems that over the years, your homework has not been left behind." At this moment, his hand had just turned a page, and as a beautiful illustration unfolded, the familiar coat of arms came into view.

"That's it," Mu called, "This is... What?"

The illustration spans two pages and shows the brave knights charging at the fluffy horned demons, and the coat of arms is printed on the banner behind the knights.

"This is one of the knights of the Swadia Empire, the emblem of the Knights of Youtan. Sanders flipped through the text. Then he took out another notebook from the same shelf, which was covered with secret scribbled handwriting, these were the notes made by the old professor during his study tour, recording a lot of information that was circulated among the people, but was banned by high-ranking people, so to speak, this notebook alone was enough for this old gentleman to go to the gallows.

"I'm not going to say it. Mu swears.

The old professor glanced at Mu and snorted coldly, "I don't dare." Then he continued,

"During my study tour, I focused on the lost history of the Swadia Empire, including the legends about the Order. The old professor flipped through his notebook and said, "The emblem of this knight is the dark flower of the valley, and it is also the origin of the name of the knights. This flower grows on the banks of the ice springs in the Sagos River valley and blooms only on full moon nights, and is said to be very beautiful. Of course, I haven't seen it, it's all legend. The old professor looked fascinated, "Of course, folk legends are very exaggerated, such as this book, which tells the story of the Knights of Youtan who fought with the Ice Sea Demon and drove him back to his hometown. Rationally analyzed, these ice sea demons should be Nord Haikou who came ashore to plunder, and their horned helmets and fur coats just matched the book's record of long horns and long hair. Of course, that's not the point,"

The old professor raised his head, his eyes burning, "The point is that this order of knights only exists in legends passed down by word of mouth, and there is never any evidence to prove their existence. If the straight sword you see is real, it means that there is another gap in the history of the Swadia Empire that has been filled, you know the meaning. ”

"Yes, yes... Mu was frightened by the old professor's burning gaze and retreated, and hurriedly said, "Sir, tell me about the legend of this knight order first." ”

"Okay," the old professor sat back in his place, took off his glasses again, wiped them slowly, and said, "Except for those absurd stories of slaying dragons or hunting demons, to sum up, the Knights of Youtan is a knight order stationed near the current capital of the Nord Kingdom, Sagos, and this knight order was formed spontaneously, and has never been recognized by the Svadia royal family, I guess, this is also the reason why this knight order only exists and is legendary." But they single-handedly guarded the peace of Swadia's northern frontier and saved the people of the north from the threat of Nord marauders. Therefore, most of their legends are about killing ice sea demons, and there are all kinds of bizarre stories. But all the stories have one surprising thing in common," the old professor dragged out his voice, sold a pass, and was very satisfied with Mu Xin's itchy appearance, and then continued, "The Grand Master of this knight order is a beautiful woman of peerless beauty. ”

This!" Mu was indeed taken aback, although female knights are not without precedent in Svadia, after all, there are very few, and the female knights who become the head of the knights are even more unprecedented. Yes, Svadia has produced many queens who claim to be knights, but there has never been a female knight leader.

"So... A sly light flashed behind the old professor's thick lenses, and he made a request at the same time.

。。。

"What, you want to borrow my sword?" said Agna, frowning, and her right hand rested on the hilt of her sword as if it were guarded.

"Yes ... Yes. Mu stiffened his head
