Chapter 17: The White Stripe of Knighthood

Earl's Court – Courtyard.

Everywhere was filled with gray white mist, with an invisible cold air current, blocking the scorching sun in the sky, and the mist kept rolling in the cold wind, revealing neat rows of jack-o'-lanterns.

Standing at the front of the queue with Miss Headless Horsemann on his back, the aquatic horse roared with a strong spirit:

"Your Excellency, according to my statistics, there should be three hundred and nineteen jack-o'-lanterns in your jurisdiction, and there should be three hundred and nineteen in all, please instruct...... That's what Lord Bagh meant. ”

"I believe you can do your part. ”

Areh was seriously inspecting the temporary city defense team, and to be honest, he was surprised by Bag's dominance over the wraiths, and in just a short time, he was able to adapt the jack-o'-lantern to the training.

Worthy of the legendary Headless Horseman, he was born to be the leader of all necromancers, and if you have the chance, you can command an entire army of necromancers.

"Bagh Knight, listen to the seal!"

While the black-haired knight spoke, Charlene held back a smile and tried to put on a pretty face, handing him a bloodstained giant sword.

This is the sealing sword that suppressed Albert before, because it is not ordinary no matter how you look at it, and it is a waste to throw it in the cellar, so the two decided to maximize its value and give it to Miss Celti as a knight's sword.

I don't know what kind of experience Bag suffered during his lifetime, and he had such a big obsession with being an official when he died, and after seeing Yalei put on a posture of being an official, his body suddenly had a violent spasm, and he just rolled off the horse.

However, the earl and the expectant lady had already been mentally prepared, calmly watched each other all over the ground for a while, and put on a posture of kneeling on one knee. The knighthood ceremony officially began.

"Bagh. I now officially confer on you the title of knight. The fiefdom is 300 acres, so let's take it away casually. Yalei was very generous and let her enclose the land casually, and then picked up the giant sword in his hand:

"Be my sword, and be loyal to me forever, and this sword is my gift. ”

"It's an honor!"

Miss Celti picked up the small blackboard on her chest, and after quickly taking the greatsword, her body suddenly spasmed again, and she began to jump all over the ground with excitement.

"She's so happy. Charlene whispered in his ear.

"yes. I was dizzy with happiness. The black-haired knight replied in a low voice, maintaining a serious expression.

According to the vassal law, Yalei does have the qualifications to be knighted as a knight as a field knight, which is not only in line with the law, but the emperor also allows this kind of behavior. It's just that although the knighthood is still the emperor's title, it is very different from the direct title, not only does it not have the privileges of an orthodox knight, but it also does not enter the bureaucratic system of the empire.

In the final analysis, it is just a special authorization to facilitate foreign colonization. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but since Bagh likes it. Of course, the black-haired knight was also willing to give the white stripe.

After instructing Miss Celti to train the spirits day and night, and to build a wall outside the courtyard as soon as possible, Areley packed his bags and planned to visit the forests west of Glamorgan to see what the Dryad's curse was.

"Are you in such a hurry, do you want me to go with you?" Charlene asked with some uneasiness as she tightened her sword for him.

"Of course, the sooner this kind of thing happens, the better, otherwise wouldn't it be possible to wait for the curse to come to the door?"

Yalei put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, turned around and grabbed the green-haired girl's slender white hand, and kissed the back of his hand: "This mansion is our foothold in Glamorgan, you must protect it for me." ”

"I see!" Charlene looked at him with a blushing face and pulled her hand back hard.

"And Sebastian, you have to take it with you wherever you go, and as soon as Albert gives in, write down everything it says for me. ”

"Hmm. The green-haired girl nodded obediently.

"I will be back as soon as possible. ”

After discussing with Charlene for a while, he took an orienteering scroll, a live rabbit, and a pot of water to set off from the lord's mansion and gallop towards the western forest as fast as he could.

If every place has its own specialty, then Glamorgan's specialty must be the wild grass, and the closer you get to the western forest, the more the wild grass on the ground grows.

Before he knew it, the height of the barren grass was close to six feet, which was comparable to Yare's height, and if it weren't for the directional scroll, he might have lost his way in this jungle of barren grass.

"This is an absolute anomaly!"

The black-haired knight plucked a barren grass from in front of him, and the tangled roots of the clods were the size of a sheep, and the finger-thick roots of the grass were exposed to the air and constantly wriggling, as if asking for nutrients.

This scene reminded him of the vampire fruit tree he encountered in the black space, and he suddenly felt a wave of nausea, and the grass in his hand burned to ashes, and continued to speed forward.

After almost an hour of galloping, the grass gradually became thin, and as far as the eye could see, there were tall shrubs, and the slightly dim light sprinkled through the branches and leaves, coupled with the cold air and the damp earth, gave people a dull and dreary feeling.

Ari observed the bushes in front of him, and saw that all of them were large and somewhat deformed, with branches and stems glowing a precipitated black, and the muddy ground smelled of rancidity, and the bones of small animals were faintly visible.

"By the way, I haven't even seen a single critter from just now to now. The black-haired knight lifted the rabbit in his hand and found it cowering in horror, as if it had some kind of deadly predator hiding here.

"If that's the case, I'm in the right place. ”

Pulling the rabbit in his arm, Aree picked up a sturdy tree trunk, brushed away the cobwebs of branches and leaves that stood in front of him, and made a quick advance towards the western forest.

After more than ten minutes of further progress, he occasionally saw blue-black stone bricks on the ground, which showed signs of human settlement, but now they were crawling with black-green vines.

At the end of the bushes is a dense forest of deep dark green, dozens of yards of tall trees are densely packed with each other, almost impenetrable, plus the fungi and grass in the gaps, it looks like a completely closed city.

When the black-haired knight walked to the front of the woods, he could feel a cold haze pouring out of the depths of the woods, and then look at the rabbit in his hand, which was already rolling its eyes and began to foam at the mouth.

"There can be no mistake, this is it. ”

Aree leapt high and stepped on the rough bark of the tree, and his figure flew straight to the top of the tree, and then began to invade the interior of the forest from above.

From above, there was not a single ray of sunlight visible from the inside of the woods, not even the warmth of the light was obscured, except for the noise of the grass and trees, and no birds could be heard, and it was as lifeless as an abandoned cemetery. (To be continued......)
