"Okay, tell me, what exactly do you want?" Mu shouted at the assassin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lose your sword too!"

Mu slowly pulled out the saber at his waist and threw it on the ground.

"Kick farther away!"

"Hey, it's almost enough, the sword is crying!"

"Hurry up!"

Bang, the sword was kicked aside, not far, but it took a bit of effort to get it.

"Give all your money!"

"Huh?" Mu looked surprised, "You want money?"

"Less!

"Good, good... Mu took off the money bag from his belt, then took out his pocket, took out a few coins and threw them into the money bag, and then pulled the pocket out to show that it was empty. It's just that no one found out, and he quietly hid a few dinars in his sleeve.

"Send the money bag here!"

"Huh, send me?"

"Yes, it's you, come here!"

Mu narrowed his eyes and stepped forward step by step. Just two or three steps away from Agna, the assassin suddenly pushed, and Agna staggered two steps and fell straight into Mu's arms. You must know that at this time, in addition to not wearing a helmet, Aigna was fully armed, and this sudden weight made Mu who was caught off guard lose her balance and fell backwards.

The assassin was not idle, raised his dagger, and with a single arrow step, pierced Mu's eye socket. Mu had a shocked expression, but with a flick of her finger secretly, the assassin saw a small black shadow galloping straight towards her face.

"Hidden weapon!" the assassin exclaimed, his figure immediately froze, and he raised his dagger to block the sudden blow.

Clang, the sound of metal falling to the ground. The Assassin glanced in that direction and saw a coin still dripping in place, and he couldn't help but feel angry!

"Dare to lie to me, die!" the assassin raised his dagger again, but the alarm suddenly dawned on him, and he quickly slid away.

Collapse, only to see a crossbow bolt nailed to the back of where she was standing, and the whole arrow sank into the stone wall. Opposite her, the sniper was stepping on the ring, winding his crossbow again.

"Hell!" the assassin cursed, turning around and disappearing into the end of a dark alley. Bandak also chased a few steps and fired another arrow, which, judging by his expression, seemed to have gained nothing, but he resolutely pursued it again.

"Hey, don't get up yet, you're dead!" Mu Tui pushed Agna on top of him, and complained.

"Ahem, I'm sorry," Agna coughed violently, then struggled to her feet, "I was careless." ”

"I said, it's okay if you don't find the enemy," Mu also stood up and patted the dust off the hem of his robe, "Why don't you struggle? With your strength, you won't even have the strength to resist, right?" Or will you not have the courage to resist if you are pressed against the back by a knife?"

"It's not like that," argued Agna blushing, "and after being choked by her, I felt like my whole body was drained of my strength, and I couldn't move at all." ”

"Is that so... Mu narrowed his eyes. This technique, it seems that the other party is a very skilled killer, and the price should not be cheap, but I don't know who is willing to spend such a large price to buy his own life?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mu. Aigna bowed apologetically to Mu, "This assassin should have been sent by someone from my family, and I have caused you trouble, so I will leave." ”

"Idiot. Mu shook his head and said, "If she wants to kill you, wouldn't it be good to stab you to death directly?" Her kidnapping you is just a pretense to make me relax my vigilance against her, and then come to kill me, but this scene is too ridiculous, and I saw through it." ”

"You don't have to comfort me, the knight will take all his responsibility. ”

Mu knocked on Agna's head, crying and laughing, "When will your elm head open up a little bit, do I need to lie to you about this?"

At this moment, Bandak ran out of the alley, still carrying his well-wound crossbow.

"Boss, I'm sorry to let her run. ”

"It's okay, Bhandak, the opponent is a strong man. Mu comforted, "It's good that you didn't chase too deeply, it wouldn't be good if you were counter-killed." ”

"Say," said Agna, who had regained her composure, looking around, "after fighting for so long, why haven't there been any guards coming, and when has the garrison of Parabun become so bad?"

"So, that's one of the disadvantages of the port of Parabun. Mu shrugged, "This place is not under the control of Parabun, and naturally there are no guards here to maintain order." ”

"No, I remember seeing the guards and patrols at the door of the Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's the Swadia tax collector, who waits for war fines and taxes at the Chamber of Commerce. They are only responsible for keeping the Chamber of Commerce safe, plus Gwenson himself at most, and we, poor traders, can only fend for ourselves. Mu explained to Agna, "But most of the time it's like this, and we're used to it. ”

Agna nodded, "Although it is very unpleasant for me to be sarcastic by you again, I still propose to leave as soon as possible." ”

"It's true. Bandak also agreed with the female knight's suggestion.

"Okay, I'm going to contact the wagons and the horses. "Mu Cong is as good as a stream.

。。。。。。

Just as they were about to leave Parabun as soon as possible, the bard Niza walked into a richly decorated inn, and as soon as he entered, he was greeted warmly by the drinkers.

"Mr. Niza, what are you talking about today?"

"'The Lady in Red and the Knight in Silver Armor', please!"

"No, no, no, I want to hear 'The Two Adventures of the Knight Princess'!"

"Pi!" 'The Battle of Zhivadin' wasn't finished last time!"

Niza pressed his hands, and the hotel immediately fell silent, Niza cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, today we will not talk about those ancient legends. ”

Although the drinkers below did not speak, their faces still could not hide their disappointment.

But Niza didn't care about this, and continued to say loudly, "Today, I have compiled a poem about the battles I experienced on the Pavron, and I hope you will like it. ”

The emotions of the people were immediately aroused, and whistles, applause, and screams boiled over the entire hotel.

Niza unhurriedly removed the lute, leaned against the bar counter, and plucked the strings lightly, and the crowd immediately returned to silence again.

Niza cleared her throat, "Only this song commemorates a heroic young knight!"

As the music sounded, Niza began to chant slowly,

"Put the wine into the battlefield, and the longship carries the glory... ”

"Agna, do you know this?" Mu Hushou, who was sitting at the Miteji seat, shook the notebook in his hand at Agna, who was sitting next to him on guard. Agna's helmeted head tilted toward her boss, and although she couldn't see her expression, she could visibly feel her movements stall.

"This is ... Aigna took the book, her voice trembling a little, "This is my diary!

"Niza ... Oh, it was bought from the bard who rubbed the car. Mu said indifferently, "You suspect that he is a spy of your enemy, so I tried it a little, but he was defenseless and distant, and took out this diary to show me, whether it was from the expression, voice or language, there was no flaw, so, I think this thing was really unintentionally obtained by him." When I said I wanted to buy it, he was so distressed that he wanted to die, and finally knocked me hard. To be honest, I haven't done such a loss-making business since I started my business. Mu smiled self-deprecatingly, "You can rest assured, I don't think he's a spy, just a poet who has a lot of luck." ”

Agna hugged the diary tightly and turned her head back forward, but the heavy breathing from under her helmet revealed her unsettledness.

"Thank you, sir. She muttered in a voice the size of a mosquito. And Mu beside him still kept a smile, not knowing if he heard it or not.

。。。。。。

On the horizon, the top of a pointed tower drilled out of the horizon, and the young man saw it from a distance and shouted excitedly, "Old man, do you see, Cloud Tower, it's Cloud Tower!"

"Shut up!" the old man struck the young man on the head with the pot, "sit down for me, it's just a tower, what's there to be excited about." ”

"That's not the case, old man, it's the Cloud Tower, the most authoritative Valhalla in the Empire, the highest temple of knightly honor, and seriously, I want to put my flag in it one day. ”

The old man scoffed, "You're not a knight, where did you get any flag?"

The young man pursed his lips and did not write, "Cut, old man, if you hadn't stopped me in Uxhall, wouldn't I have gone to the selection of the cavalry?"

Smack, the young man got another cigarette pot on his head, "You bastard, you don't know the hearts of good people, don't you! Even if you become a cavalryman, ah? If you don't have military exploits and you don't have a head under your command, how can you become a knight? Look at the Haiyan River now, where can I find you a head?"

"Isn't it!" the young man looked dazed, "Isn't it okay to enter the cavalry?"

The old man raised the cigarette pot and was about to knock it down, but he still held back, and said angrily, "You are still a Ruierdian, and you don't even know this! No matter how high the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is, it is only a big-headed soldier, but once you are selected as a knight, you become a nobleman, even if it is the lowest-ranking nobleman, it is very different from the big-headed soldier! And to put the banner into the cloud tower, the knighthood is the minimum requirement, but do you think which big lord in Valhalla is only a knighthood? Or do you think that your virtue can catch up with the Rhine's gang of perverts?"

The young man wilted for a moment, but soon regained his spirits. He poked the old man who was driving the car next to him and said, "Hey, old man, you used to be a Svadian nobleman, right?" ”

"Hmph. The old man snorted disdainfully through his nose.

"Hehe," the young man laughed, "or you would have said good things to Empress Esona and let her restore her title with you, and we wouldn't have to live such a miserable life." ”

"Get out!"

Smack, the young man got another smoke pot on his head.

Also seeing the spire drilled out of the horizon, Mu, who was an old fritter, didn't feel a little emotional, but turned his head and asked Agna, "I've always wanted to ask, will the royal family of Sunuo's Ruierdian build such a tall tower?" If it is a defensive role, it doesn't need to be so high." And don't you think that such towers are not only very difficult to build and expensive to maintain, but also very easy targets for trebuchets?"

"It's a feeling," Agna's helmet made her sigh a little angry, "It's a nice feeling for the emperor to stand on a tower overlooking his entire realm, and all his subjects are prostrate at his feet like ants." ”

Mu sneered, "It's like you've been there." ”

Aigna was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

Mu looked at Agna playfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

The spire stretched higher and higher, and finally, Suno's tall wall appeared in front of the convoy.

"We're here," Mu said to Agna, "but I don't think you should take off that damn helmet, you live here, and there should be a lot of people who know you." ”

"Of course," replied Agna firmly, "a knight does not fall twice in one place. Also, please be vigilant, boss. ”

Mu shrugged, like a child facing a verbose mother.

He looked up at the thick clouds in the sky and shouted to the caravan behind him, "All speed up, enter the city before it rains!"

On the minaret of Suno, the lord, Count Craggs, is looking down on everything in his realm with his hands behind his back. Soldiers patrolling around, hawkers pushing carts, caravans coming and going, and beggars lying in the mud. Suno is still prosperous, but it has lost the glory of the kingdom's capital. Two years ago, these beggars, perhaps wealthy merchants or aristocrats, had been vigorously arming and purging King Eastridge's supporters under the pretext of war since Haraus took the crown. Count Craggs is also one of them, even as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, even if he has sat in the position of marshal for nearly thirty years, even if he has made great achievements, his territory is still constantly reduced, and he has been demoted from duke to earl, and if it weren't for the loss of De Hrium in the last war, Claes's unlearned and reckless man would probably take over his duke's position. As for those who are not as high as Craggs, let alone the better, they are still at the forefront with their soldiers, and the almost ones are just looking at the streets and alleys. You must know that in the past, there were no beggars in Sunuo, and even if there was no food, there would be kind nobles to help you and let you take up a decent job in their estate. And now, those beggars lying on the ground, with dead faces, no one dared to help, and no one knew if there would be a secret agent of King Haraus crouching in a dark corner, silently monitoring all this.

Craggs has always been the staunchest supporter of the Swadian royal family, and after the death of King Eastridge, he naturally became the leader of the royal faction. However, the current royal power is like a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time by the rebellion of Haraus. It's not that he hasn't considered sending troops to recruit the vassals, but the current situation is that the life and death of the little princess are unknown, and Harlaus is the one who is now the first in the order of succession among the Swadian nobles. His loyalty to the royal family made it impossible for him to swing his sword at Haraus.

He touched the gray stubble and sighed, the first king gave him so much trust, but he failed to protect the glory given by the royal family at all, if the little princess saw all this, I don't know how sad she would be.

We don't know what will happen to the little princess, but Agna did let out a deep sigh when she entered Suno.

"Su Nuo, has it not been like this? ”

"Decline?" Mu couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the crowds and noisy shops around him, "Maybe it's a lot lower than two years ago, but compared to cities like Lana, Uxhall, and Allen, it's still prosperous." After all, it is no longer the capital, and the status of the economic and political center has been transferred to Parabun. ”

"I know, it's just a little lost. ”

Mu shrugged.

"Look!" Agna tugged at Mu's sleeve and pointed to a beggar sitting by the wall. The beggar stared blankly at the gray sky, one foot wearing only socks and the other bare, the cuffs of his mud-stained shirt seemed to be delicately tattooed, and his dirty beard, which seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, was a mess, and he had a fight with the Nord brothers who sailed the boat.
