I had never seen a beggar when I was in Suno. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Agna's tone was a little annoyed, but through the helmet, Mu still couldn't see her expression clearly.

The merchant also glanced in that direction and said, "It's the work of Harlaus, it should be the purged royal nobles." ”

"The royal powers?"

"It's King Eastridge's supporters. Mu explained, "The first thing Harlaus did when he ascended the throne was to sweep them out of the circle of nobility. The nobles who knew nothing but intrigue found that they could not even fill their stomachs, let alone maintain the glory of the nobility. Therefore, in the first winter, countless nobles starved to death and froze to death. In Suno, it was better, and Count Craggs would secretly fund a little, at least so that they would not starve to death. ”

Mu heard a heavy sigh.

Soon, the convoy passed by the beggar, and suddenly, Aigna was about to jump out of the car, and she was quickly pushed back.

"What are you doing, don't die!"

"He's Uncle Lovarda, whether as a knight or as a junior, I have to help him!"

"Calm down, miss!" Mu pressed Agna into her seat and continued, "I've guessed a little bit of who you are by now, Agna. Okay, listen, no matter what, sit down, don't move, now you, can't save him. ”

Aigna held up for a while, but then relaxed, slumped into the seat of the carriage, silently distracted.

Seeing that the knight had calmed down, the merchant breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain, "I know that you used to be a nobleman, and you may have something to do with the royal family. But now it's Haraus who holds Svadia in his hands, and you don't have the slightest chance in front of him. ”

"But I can't... ”

"You can't protect yourself now, and you still want to save others. Mu said in a low voice, "Look at the corner over there, there is a guy standing who looks like someone is waiting, yes, it is the one who is looking around, it is likely to be Harlaus's secret agent, ready to wipe out all the royal factions." So, if you don't want to be like your Uncle Lovada, stay in my caravan honestly and don't show any flaws. As long as you don't go too far, even if Haraus is suspicious, he won't dare to act rashly. ”

Agna nodded her head in gratitude, but she still looked depressed.

Although the female knight was a little petty, she was not an unreasonable person, and after silently taking the key, she ran up to the second floor quickly. Fortunately, everyone was attracted to the bewitching dancers, and no one paid attention to the small commotion in this corner.

Aigna went into her room, closed the door, and collapsed on the bed without even taking off her helmet. She thought about what she would encounter after entering Svadia, the assassinations of the assassins, the bounty of the wanted warrants, the temptation of the spies, and even the charge of the Red Shirts, but none of this happened, what she really saw was more terrible than she had imagined! Seeing her relatives and friends fall like mud, but she couldn't even stretch out her hand, which made Agna, who guarded the five virtues of knighthood, very uncomfortable.

She felt warm drops of water slip from the corners of her eyes, run down her cheeks, and drip onto her cold helmet. Perhaps, her heart is not as strong as she imagined, Aigna said to herself.

There was a knock on the wooden door of the room, and then the merchant's voice was heard, "Have you rested, Agna?"

The knight quickly got up from the bed and opened the door for her boss. Mu outside the door lifted the tray in his hand and said to her, "I'll get you something to eat." ”

The food in the tray is not complicated, two loaves of bread, a plate of roast meat, and a bowl of vegetable soup.

Aigna was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mu, "Anyway, these must be eaten." I don't know which knight said, 'Hunger is the enemy'!"

Aigna couldn't help but laugh softly, this is what she said when she grabbed bread with the one-eyed dragon on the road.

"Here, take off your helmet and eat something. Mu placed the tray on the table, and Aigna obediently took off her helmet. Only then did the merchant realize that his knight's eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that he had just cried.

Sure enough, no matter how resolute she is on the outside, she is still a weak woman on the inside. Mu sighed in his heart.

Agna scooped a spoonful of soup, blew it gently, and then put it in her mouth, a familiar taste blooming in her mouth, making her feel agitated for a while, and then falling again, two lines of tears involuntarily running down her cheeks again.

Mu sighed and asked, "Are you still sad?"

Aigna shook her head, wiped away her tears, and replied, "This is the soup cooked by Grandpa Galian, and in order to increase my courage, I put a little more thyme in the soup every time, but I didn't expect him to maintain this habit." ”

"Well, it's not surprising that the chefs here turned out to be palace chefs. Mu replied.

"But the others have changed a lot. Agna's tone was very sad, "Uncle Lovarda turned out to be a fat, kind old man, and he told me that as a nobleman, even if his head is cut off, he must remain decent. But now, I really have a hard time believing that that dirty beggar is Uncle Lovada, who has always been very respectful of decency. And Sister Shanna, among the sisters who grew up with me, she was the coldest, indulging in all kinds of poetry books all day long, not smiling, nor having a good face for any man, and was even called the goddess of frost by the knights. I never thought that she would have that kind of expression and make such a ... Shameful action... ”

"Life will change a person," Mu lamented, "from body to mind, completely changed." Then, looking in the direction of Parabun, "At least, they're still alive, aren't they." ”

"yes, it's a blessing to survive Haraus. Aigna also sighed, "I don't know how many people I know are still alive in the world." ”

The merchant was silent, and so was the knight.

Suddenly, the knight spoke again, "You've already guessed who I am. ”

"Guess some, especially after the conversation just now. Mu replied, "First of all, you are from Suno, and your words and deeds seem to be definitely a noble child, and secondly, the coat of arms on your sword is the Euepiphany, which is the symbol of the Knights of the Superior Order, which only exists in legends. If this sword is real, it means that you have a good background. Add to that the fact that you know so many nobles, and you have also eaten dishes made by the imperial kitchen, which means that you grew up in the court. Originally, I thought you were probably the illegitimate daughter of King Eastridge, but it's unlikely. The disgraceful existence of bastards is already considered merciful for no one to raise them in the court, not to kill them, but to abandon them among the commoners. So, I think you should be the daughter of some courtier, or someone very close to the king, who escaped by luck when he was purged two years ago. Mu paused, and continued, "I don't know if I'm right?"

"Why don't you think I'm going to be Princess Azona?" asked Agna curiously.

"Don't be stupid," Mu smiled, "how can someone from the royal family be as stupid as you." ”

With a bang, Agna's saber was half drawn.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Mu hurriedly waved his hand, "I attended Princess Aisona's funeral and offered flowers to her with my own hands. ”

"Okay. Aigna inserted the sword back into the scabbard, "You guessed about the same, but since you've already guessed, why do you keep me and don't you think I'm a big problem?"

"Rich and dangerous, ma'am. Mu smiled, "You must have heard the story of that down-and-out nobleman." ”

Aigna nodded, "But, it's Haraus in power now. ”

"Therefore, I want to keep you even more. Mu smiled even brighter, "According to Harlaus's virtue, I can't tell you that one day I will be on the battlefield." And the best thing is that he has no heirs under his knees, and at that time, it is more likely that the royal power, which is closer to the royal family, will send a king. And the revival of the royal power means that you can still go back and be a baroness or something, and then you have to say something to me who has always protected you, for example, some monopoly licenses are very good, otherwise, I don't think your knightly heart will be at peace. Am I right?"

Aigna smiled, "You don't want to be my vassal?"

"That's still it," Mu shrugged, "I don't think it's a loss for me to only have a position above the duke, but the title of duke is the prerogative of the king, and I don't think a courtier's daughter can do it." ”

"Maybe that's fine. Aigna shrugged her shoulders and continued, "Aren't you afraid that Harlaus will trouble you?"

"I don't think Haraus would turn against me for the sake of the descendants of a disadvantaged courtier. Mu didn't care, "However, being able to hide it to the end will definitely save a lot of trouble." So, I still hope that you try not to be exposed. ”

Aigna nodded.

。。。。。。

Meanwhile, Parabun.

"Bard Niza, the great King Harlaus has given you the right to play before the Emperor, and do not let him down. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Niza bent her knees, stretched her legs, bent over, one hand on her chest, and the other flat, a courtier used to ask for a reward, "What do you want to hear?"

"Your Majesty would like you to play the tune that has been played in the tavern lately. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Niza stood up and recited the battle on the long ship.

When the song was finished, Niza saluted again and waited for the king to fall.

"So, poet, do you really see Euphany on the hilt of your sword?" a deep voice came from the throne, it was not the subordinate official, it could only be the man who was supreme in Svadia.

"Your Majesty, the villain doesn't know what a Euphany, but the female knight's sword hilt does have a floral coat of arms. However, Boss Mu, who gave me a ride, also asked me the same question. ”

There was silence for a moment, only to hear the subordinate officer shouting again, "Your Majesty has an order, take the poet down to rest!"

Two soldiers walked up and made a gesture of invitation to the poet.

The poet left, and the hall was quiet again.

Soon, the king's voice sounded again, "Is Mu's caravan still in Paravon?"

"No," replied one of the courtiers, "they had left a long time ago, and should have arrived at Suno. ”

"Suno, hum," the king snorted coldly, "that old fellow's territory... Big businessman Mu, it's really troublesome. ”

After a while, he said to himself, "Although you have never made me look good, my little princess, you have a really good eye for men." ”

Aigna woke up in the warm bed, and the sun was already shining outside the window. She sighed, for the first time since she had trained as a knight, she had overslept.

Put on the armor, put on the helmet, and ran down the stairs quickly, just in time to see Mu sitting alone in the unmanned dining room writing and drawing. She frowned slightly and walked over, "Aren't you leaving today?"

"No," Mu replied without raising his head, "there is a gathering of merchants tonight, and I don't want to miss it." ”

"Aren't you afraid that Haraus will trouble you?"

"Of course not," Mu rubbed his eyes and stretched, "This is the stronghold of the royal power, and the safest place for you in all of Svadia. ”

"But he can block you outside the city, you can't settle here. ”

"As long as Haraus is willing to fight the whole continent again. Mu replied firmly.

"Why do you think so?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate my energy. Mu showed a mysterious smile, "Moreover, even if he finds out that we are in Sunuo, in order not to fall behind, he can only send his own army." And coming from Parabun, it takes a lot of time. By then, we had already fled. ”

Agna sighed and turned to go back to her room.

"I said, Agna, you're not going to spend a day in your room. Mu's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Do you think it's normal for a traveler to stay in a hotel all day and not leave the door?"

Aigna paused, "Then what do you say?"

"Go out for a walk, buy some souvenirs, wander around a few attractions, or go for a drink and listen to a little song. Mu scratched his forehead with a quill pen, "In short, like a wandering knight who has entered the city normally, as long as you don't attract the attention of the secret agent." ”

Agna nodded, took a piece of linen wrapped in her sword, and walked out of the tavern.

Just before she stepped out of the door, Mu's voice sounded again, "By the way, no matter what, you have to go to the princess's mausoleum, even if you go around outside." It is said that it is the place where every knight must go when he comes to Suno. ”

Although the streets of Suno are still so prosperous, the lack of the name of the capital does not seem to have any special impact on the civilians of Sunuo, and they still walk according to their own life trajectory. However, there were far fewer wandering knights looking for their allegiance to their masters in the streets, and there were no noble ladies pointing fingers at themselves in tattered armor, and they would either go to Paravon to join the more promising master, or they would not dare to step out of the house because they were afraid of the secret agent of Paravon.

In the simple oven of the joint vendors, the freshly baked snacks were still so sweet, and Aigna swallowed, but she still didn't dare to take off her helmet just to be safe. Even so, she bought her saber a jar of Ronis sword oil and a few small charms that were said to be made from a knight's broken sword.

Once you've walked through this street, you'll be close to the castle district, which is normally under strict martial law, but here, the crowds are getting more and more crowded. However, the knightess didn't care about any of this, and the vendors around her attracted her again. The vendors selling food and ornaments are all gone, replaced by stalls selling flowers, and the shelves are full of Juanis, and Agna is thrilled to see it.

She picked the most watery, the freshest, and the most brilliant bouquet, and when she was taking out the bag to pay, the owner of the flower seller smiled, this is an elderly mother-in-law, smiling very kindly, and the spirit is very good.

"This guest, you are also here to pay tribute to Princess Esona. ”

Hearing the familiar name, Aigna was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly pretended to answer in the affirmative, "Yes, how do you see that?"

"It's not that hard. The old woman didn't notice the unnaturalness of the guests, and pointed to the crowd in front of her and said, "Look, there are a lot of people wearing armor in there, and they should be knights from all over the world who come to mourn, and you are not the first one." ”

"They might be mercenaries. ”
