Chapter 20: Carnival and Search

Due to the frequent precipitation, Edinburgh is very humid in the summer, and even the well-ventilated royal palace is currently shrouded in a thin layer of water vapour. It was built in the high mountains of the Highlands and was originally intended to spy north on the Rosevians in the south, but it became the royal capital of the Highlands after the Imperial Legions withdrew from Anthony's Wall.

Before the ancestors of the Fannon family took the throne, they fought hard against the king's own soldiers in the square in the northwest corner of the palace, and were on the verge of despair several times, but finally got through the difficulties with a strong will, and successfully won the crown of the Celts.

After the new king was crowned, the square in the northwest corner was retained and built into a training ground to warn the children and grandchildren that the family's rule was not easy.

At this time, in the training ground, a solemn atmosphere was spreading.

A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it the sound of the leaves rattling, and the spots and shadows on the ground shook like the shimmering of the water.

The silver long sword in Charlene's hand also reflected a slight silver halo, she pursed her lips, her eyes moved slightly, and she stared at Lydia in front of her, who was gathering her breath and waiting for an opportunity to move.

A leaf rose in the breeze and fluttered across her eyes.

Lydia's eyes shrank, and her body as tense as a spring suddenly leaped forward, and the whole person slammed forward, the bayonet sword in her hand swung a silver light in the sunlight.

Charlene seemed to have expected the opponent's sudden attack, and the raised steel sword was lowered behind her back, her right foot stepped out, and then she turned sharply to the left with the right foot in front of her as the axis. The sword he held drew a beautiful circle, breaking the edge of Lydia's stabbing blade.

The sound of a bell. A cloud of sparks burst out of the air.

β€œ......”

The green-haired girl saw the gap in her opponent and slashed with her sword.

The blade of the sword shuttles like electricity, elongating in the air to form white lines. A ripple-like fan then rippled out.

The sword was fast, and it was close to the point of thundering.

But it didn't work, and the "Lydia" in the sword slash was in a trance for a while, shattered and disappeared, which was an afterimage caused by rapid movement.

Bell--!

Charlene raised her head slightly, retracted her sword to block the thin sword stabbed from the right side, and Lydia took a strange step. Like a poisonous scorpion wandering beside her, from time to time it stabbed at her gaps and dead ends.

"Hoo ......"

The green-haired girl sighed slightly, and suddenly slid closer. Leaning on a sideways spin, he unleashed a bottom-up slash.

Whoosh!

The blade reflected the bright sunlight and slashed dangerously in front of Lydia, and the afterimage of the blonde girl was noticeably slower.

β€œ......”

A few strands of blonde hair fluttered in the air, causing Lydia to purse her lips. Her figure sped up. The wrist shook, the speed of the stab doubled, and the rapier stabbed out like a storm.

Charlene's eyes reflected the posture of the blonde girl, stepping in a straight line, her body rising and falling lightly with the cold light of the sword.

The clashing of two different swords suddenly became dense and wild, like an ebullient piano piece that tested the nerves of the human ear.

......

An hour later.

The girl approached the dressing room and asked the two maids to unload their heavy protective suits. The steaming heat and sweat steamed her beautiful green hair, and she asked without looking back:

"When will the Governor return?"

"The Petrel will arrive at port tonight. ”

He was joined by two legendary adventurers. and a stitching monster...... It is said to be super large. The other maid replied with a bowed head.

The girl glanced at herself in the mirror, gently straightened her eyelashes with a mascara, took the cream from the maid's hand, and carefully applied it to her skin:

"Those two legendary mercenaries...... Is it a man or a woman?"

"Both are men. ”

"Go inform Sebastian. ”

She changed into a dress, inserted her shoulder-length silky hair back with her hands, threw it away, raised her head, and pursed her pink lips: "Tonight's banquet needs to be a little more grand." ”

"Yes, Miss Charlene. ”

......

Amid the brilliant fireworks and gun salutes, Queen Lilith stepped down from the golden carriage with her skirt on her shoulder, pushed her fiancΓ©'s wheelchair, and walked to the banquet hall full of guests with a smile on her face.

The golden light spilled down obliquely, as if gilding the beautiful queen with a golden halo. The fair and delicate skin and almost perfect etiquette are even more dazzling in the light.

Looking at the glamorous Lilith, the gentlemen let out heartfelt admiration, while the ashamed ladies gathered in twos and threes, looking at the puppet king with jealousy and mockery.

In the brilliant light, the top of the officer office was surrounded by stars and moons, and in order to dispel the fear and vigilance of the local nobles, they had to deal with the flattery of this group of people.

In front of the Highland nobles, Beverly raised his head and drank a full glass of Highland whiskey, and with the help of the messenger, returned to the corner of the hall with trembling legs.

After a few sips of orange juice, he barely managed to suppress the wine.

Just as the red-haired boy wiped the water from the corners of his lips with a napkin and was about to get up and return to the feast, Alcia stumbled over to him with a glass of sherry.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, the blonde boy raised his head, and there was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes: "Just now, our people have searched Lilith's dormitory, and no significant evidence has been found for the time being. ”

"Keep searching! Collect a copy of any powder, liquid, or drug-like item. Beverly waved away a messenger who was about to serve the juice again, and pretended to be drunk, and whispered:

"With the little power under her hands, if she wants to murder the Origin Knights, poisoning is the only possible way. ”

"I know what you're going to do, I've just asked them to do this. ”

Althea coughed and said with some hesitation: "Should we reorient the investigation, how can there be a poison in this world that can kill the Origin Knight." ”

"Not necessarily. ”

Beverly put his arms around his neck and pulled the blonde boy's ears to his lips:

"Origin Knight is very resistant. But it's not invincible, and it's ...... This woman is super-rich and runs several large pharmaceutical factories under her hands. This is the best cover for drug makers. ”

"I see. ”

Althea nodded, drank the pear wine in the cup in one gulp, and opened his mouth to speak, when a warm salute sounded outside the courtyard.

"The boss must be back. Beverly stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a loud voice:

"Let's go, let's go meet our new companion!"

......

"That's really ......"

"It's so lively......"

Goethe and Lolo petrified out of the carriage. Looking at the crowds of ladies and gentlemen beside him who welcomed him, he suddenly felt inexplicably fluttering, and he felt a sense of vanity.

"Let me introduce you to you. ”

Yalei responded to the deliberate curry favor of the highland nobles. led the two to the high-level concentration of the officer's office, and introduced them one by one:

"To give you a brief introduction, the square-faced one is Clarke, and the bearded one is Kara. The blonde is Alcia. The red-haired Beverly, the biggest one is Nicole, the one who doesn't like to talk is Lydia, the middle-aged uncle is Pulit, and the scar-faced one is Siz. ”

As he spoke, he took the "red wine" handed by the messenger and touched the wine glass with Pompey:

"And this is my most respected military advisor. You can call him a military advisor. ”

"Hello Strategist!"

Goethe and Lolo hurriedly took a glass of fruit wine and raised their glasses to Pompey.

"Cancer and roses. I know you, the golden partner of adventurers. The old man took a sip of wine with a smile, observed the restrained and excited expressions of the two, and said meaningfully:

"I promise, you'll love it. ”

"Hahaha, I think they've fallen in love with it. ”

Yare laughed and hugged Charlene, the wolf kissed the girl's fragrant face, and continued: "This is my favorite, Charlene, you can call Miss Charlene or Mrs. Bernstein, anyway, sooner or later." ”

"First meeting, beautiful lady. The two of them sincerely flattered.

"Welcome. ”

The green-haired girl maintained a sweet ladylike image, and her right arm was quietly handed to her lover's waist, and she launched a fierce kidney attack.

Someone, known for his thick skin, naturally ignored this attack on the kidneys, put down the juice in his hand, and then put his arm around the shoulders of Goethe and Lolo, and announced in a loud voice:

"The protagonists of tonight's banquet are Goethe and Lolo, whoever can get them drunk, I will give him the weight of gold!"

"Wow!"

Carla was the first to roar and jump, snatched a bottle of whiskey directly, and rushed over with her mouth biting off the cap:

"Don't talk, drink!"

That night, under the power of the people, Goethe and Lolo were naturally completely overturned. And the person who won the prize was not Kara, but Lydia, who was silently drinking one by one, and no one knew that this female knight, who usually did not drink alcohol, was so strong that she fell straight into the drunkard pile until she saw that there was no opponent in sight.

After the dinner, Goethe and Lolo were placed in a VIP room to rest, and all the drunks left the palace with the help of their families.

......

The outer hall of the dormitory.

Charlene sat in a sleek high-backed chair, taking small sips of milky white lotion, occasionally glancing at Yalei.

"What are you drinking?"

The black-haired knight walked up to her, glanced at the metal bottle next to her, and said to the character: "Anti-aging beauty essence condensed milk...... You're only seventeen, do you need this?"

"The sooner you drink this stuff, the better. ”

The green-haired girl stood up, snatched the metal bottle, and glared at him: "If I can't maintain my beauty, some energetic pervert will hook up with someone else." ”

Yalei was furious when he heard this, and glared back at her:

"Don't be cranky all day. ”

"I just like to think cranky, and it's better to be ready now than to cry when the nightmare comes true. Charlene snorted, stood up, and walked to the inner hall:

"I went to take a shower. ”

He glanced the green-haired girl up and down from behind.

Shoulder-length green hair and a black tight-fitting dress highlight the curves that have not yet fully grown, looking tall and slender. Snow-white skin was visible from her bare arms, and as she walked, a faint girlish fragrance entered the black-haired knight's nose.

Yare's heart thumped.

"Ahem, it's a little tiring to take a boat...... Well...... At this moment, I suddenly wanted to soak in hot water. He followed as if he were talking to himself.

β€œ......”

Charlene turned half of her pretty face sideways, her water-green eyes glanced at him, her eyes sparkled, and then she shook her short hair very arrogantly and walked into the inner hall at a faster pace.

The black-haired knight followed behind her, pushing the glasses away and into the bathroom, and as soon as he took half a step, a fiery body mixed with a fragrant fragrance threw himself into his arms.

"What do you want to do?"

Charlene raised her blushing cheeks, grabbed the placket of his shirt, pulled out the buttons one by one, and said provocatively:

"Mr. Pervert Stalking Lady......"

"Since it's Mr. Pervert, of course you have to do bad things. ”

Yalei sniffed the scent of her hair and reached out to gently caress the girl's upright buttocks.

"Tap, stupid. ”

The green-haired girl's face suddenly turned crimson, and her body couldn't help but fall backwards, revealing the clear bones under the snow-white skin of her shoulders, and the blood flow in the blood vessels between them, and the traces can be seen slightly.

"I'll give you a good wash......" he whispered softly.

Two hours later.

The black-haired knight soaked in the warm pool refreshed, and Charlene lay in the crook of his arm, crimson, starry eyes half-open and half-squinted, unconsciously rubbing her pretty face.

"I didn't find the complete body of the vampire ancestor, but I picked up a finger in Beryl's dream, which, based on her words, was probably the only remain. Yalei said softly.

"Beryl...... The King of Lies......"

The green-haired girl opened her eyes, and her body floated up and down slightly:

"A small monastery is hiding such a big secret, so to speak, the organization of the excavation team and the zero thing is completely a bureau set up by her. ”

"Quite possibly. ”

The black-haired knight glanced at the hibiscus-like girl out of the water, and said with a smile: "Probably she didn't expect that I would take the initiative to send it to the door so quickly." ”

"There were so many of us who besieged Mistetin together...... Most likely, everyone who was present at the time was on her revenge list. ”

Charlene's apricot eyes widened suddenly, straightened her waist suddenly, and exclaimed nervously:

"Oh no, my brother and Luya were there too!"

"Don't worry, I've already informed them. ”

Yalei sat down in the water, picked up a handful of hot water and rinsed his face, and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, the Imperial side has listed Beryl as the object of the designated seal, and it is not so easy for her to move us now." ”

"That's good. ”

The green-haired girl gradually relaxed, snuggled up to his shoulder again, and narrowed her eyes happily: "You are always so thoughtful. (To be continued.) )
