The peasants were much faster than Sercius had expected, and it took only two days to build a square, four-wheeled prisoner's wagon.

In the early morning, a sparse morning star twinkled in the gray dawn sky. Sertius took Hatheron and most of the Nord soldiers on the road to Deherim.

Before leaving, the freeknights entrusted the territory to Louis Douglas, leaving the following words: "If there is no waste, I will be gone for about two weeks." ”

Sertius started his career as a merchant, as everyone in Calradia is well known. However, he never revealed what he was leaving [Iselin] for, and he always tried to avoid questions about his hometown in conversation. It's suspicious, but it's impossible to detect.

However, the foreign businessman's business methods and extraordinary eloquence are indeed impressive. In less than three years, he had been summoned by the Saiga Khan, King Ragnar, and King Greyforth. Not long ago, King Haraus himself canonized him as a knight in the main hall.

He had rejected King Greyfus's invitation in almost eloquence in the Hall of King Rhodoc, and even publicly questioned the legitimacy of the Duchy of Rhodok on the continent of Calradia, without giving anyone present the slightest chance to refute it.

After that disappointing meeting, King Grimivus had his guards throw Sercius into the dungeon of Djerkhara, almost intending to push the uninformed merchant out of the dungeon and hang him, but the king finally calmed down.

At that time, because he could not find any suitable excuse, and because of his reputation, King Griffos finally expelled the free-knight for offending the king.

Theoretically, the entanglement between Sercius and Rhodok should end there, but it is clear that the freelancers do not intend to be so coldly rejected by Rhodok from now on - especially since the cities of Aaron and Veruga are important trading centers for pig iron and silk.

When he was escorted outside the castle, the guard was quite unfriendly to him. Throwing all his luggage on the ground, he gave him a push on the back and turned away.

Sercius stumbled a few steps forward, and when he had found his center of gravity and stood firm, he suddenly called out to him: "Soldier, stand still, I will give you 20 dinars, please bring a word to your stingy king." ”

For an ordinary soldier with a weekly salary of only 5 dinars, this sentence is quite powerful. So he walked back and asked him impatiently, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Sertius said with his usual smile: "Trouble tell Your Majesty King Griffios, I remember that Rhodok boasted of being a country of complete freedom. Then there is no reason for His Majesty the King to expel a perfectly legitimate merchant, or if the news of this gets out, you will soon have to worry about your treasury. ”

The soldier nodded and held out his hand, motioning for Serseus to make good on his promise.

The freelancer smiled and touched out five dinars: "You take these first, I don't make uncertain deals." When you have spoken to the ears of His Majesty, and I have heard with my own ears that my expulsion order has been lifted, I will give you the rest. ”

The soldier reluctantly took the five gold coins, gritted his teeth, cursed, and then walked towards the city with a curse. It wasn't long before the soldier returned with a face convulsed with rage, and an envelope covered with the royal family's fire paint in his hand.

"To hell with your money, you're free!" the soldier tossed the envelope into Sercius's hand. "You almost killed me!"

The freelancer smiled and pulled out the remaining 15 gold coins he had promised from his purse. "I never break my word, take it!"

The soldier snatched it away unceremoniously, without any smile on his face. "Now you're satisfied!" he shouted. "You bastard, you made me almost lose my neck, just for 20 goddamn dinars!"

There are no gratuitous benefits in the world, and if you want to get them, you must pay and take certain risks. Sertius frowned, he didn't understand why most people couldn't understand it, such a simple truth?

The feud between the white unicorn and the black bear came to an end, but the free-knights continued to roam the Duchy of Rhodok, and it wasn't long before the free-knights became famous on the continent of Calradia and became a tale of the bards.

·

The messenger in the prison cart had not slept properly for two days, and it was only when a group of men and horses set out for Dehrim that he finally begged for mercy.

Sertius was half-lying on the back bridge of the saddle, his legs perched on the front bridge of the saddle, and he spent a long time looking at the dusty, exhausted messenger in the prisoner cart.

The freelancer lazily said, "Your tongue and your life are in your own hands, but it's not impossible for me to spare you." ”

As if grasping the hope of his own survival, the messenger jumped up and clung to the fence in front of him and was ecstatic.

Sercius smiled mysteriously and filled his pipe with shredded tobacco. He was about to continue, when a distant shout stopped him.

Not far away was a carriage parked, and beside it were two Nords, both of whom were strong and tall in size. Both men wore a Nord horned helmet and a shiny chain mail.

The tall man carried a large Nord shield and two axes on his back, and a brand-new Germanic sword hanging from his waist.

The shorter one carried a slightly rough round shield and a bag of throwing axes on his back, and a polished shiny battle axe hanging from his waist. Like most Nords on ships, they had only the simplest gaiters on their feet.

The two men were suspiciously shaped, and seemed to be doing something around a knight lying on the side of the road. The tall man scolded in Beihai dialect: "I said you hurry up for me, Portet, we don't have time to waste time for this guy." Hurry up and take everything that should be taken, too much will be a burden. ”

Not to be outdone, the short Portai replied: "Come on! It's just such a poor bastard with no farts on his body, and it's still cumbersome!"

The tall man became more and more impatient: "You hurry up, this guy is stripped naked and thrown on the car, and it will be up to you to say anything when you enter the city." Anyway, it was sold in a tavern, and the money was according to the old rules. ”

Sercius almost burst out laughing, and the comical dialogue between the two Nords was indeed hilarious. But after the second glance, Sercius was stunned.

He had seen the knight lying on the ground, and if he didn't remember his face, he remembered the coat of arms: red and white, two roses on each side, and below it was an open black bow and yellow flames. Although it was only a one-sided relationship, he would never forget this gentle knight - he was none other than Adeline's brother, Brock Gilles.

The freelancers couldn't help but think to themselves: Calradia is a relatively famous Rose Knight, how could they fall to such a point?, "What are you doing here?" Sercius turned over and dismounted.

It was only then that the two Nords discovered that a large group of men and horses not far away were escorting a prisoner cart, and mistook Sercius for a knight under a certain lord.

The tall one immediately had a smile on his face. Walking towards Sercius: "Don't get me wrong, knight, I'm the noble Godvadroyar, from the Nord mainland, and I live in a small hotel in Dehrim. He gestured to the short man beside him, "This is my assistant Poltey." You go your way, we don't do anything. ”

Sercius pointed to Brock, who was lying on the ground delirious, tilting his head, apparently satisfied with the misunderstanding. "You may not know it, but this one lying on the ground is the most wanted criminal who made a big fuss in Paravon a few days ago. We chased him for days, and you helped us a lot. ”

Covaldero's eyes were about to pop out, and he quickly turned around and pulled the corner of Portai's coat and whispered: "Damn, how did you choose such a target, didn't you say he was a knight?"

Portai's expression became even more innocent: "How do I know Lu Dao, I see that he is dressed so brightly, he must be very rich." Who knew that the road was on the run. ”

The corners of Govaldero's eyes twitched twice: "I'll settle accounts with you later." Then he turned around and smiled again: "Then knight, we are glad to have helped you." But ......"

Sercius immediately motioned to the Nord soldiers beside him to go up and pull Brock who was lying on the ground into the prisoner car, and then cut off the conversation: "We still have to hurry to Dehrim City, thank you for your help, I wish you a happy journey." ”

He hadn't gone far before he immediately heard a shouting curse: "You bastard! Lao Tzu's money just flew like this!"

Sertius couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed with everyone present, including the messenger in the prison car.
