The core of the Viscount of Gerten is, of course, the city of Gerten. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Generally speaking, the commoners of this world do not have surnames, only nobles. The surname of the nobles is their title, and in order to emphasize this, they will most likely name their ruling center after the family name.

For example, if there is a duke (if there is such a duke), the capital of his dukedom is called Zhang Sancheng - oh, it should be called "Zhang" City, because "Zhang" is the surname.

Another example is the two candidates currently vying for succession in the Viscount of Gerten, who claim to be the illegitimate son of the old viscount, and the niece of the old viscount, Steele Gerten.

Then, for example, Lei, who is wearing Sui Xiong's incarnation as a hat on his head at the moment, must also have a surname, but he just refuses to say it.

Of course, it is not necessary for nobles to have a surname, and many clergy also have a surname. For example, those who are ordained by God can receive a surname given by God. For example, if Sui Xiong's holy place is completed, then the senior clergy who participate in the construction and management of the holy place can also use the name of the holy place as their surname. Of course, there are cases where non-clergy people are given names...... But in any case, it is in the minority.

In general, in Sui Xiong's view, the level of civilization development in this world is really not high enough, and it has not yet developed to the point where it is necessary to register the names of civilians on a large scale, so that it is necessary to give commoners surnames - on the earth, China has completed this work in the Warring States Period at the latest, and if you compare the level of productivity, even if you don't consider spells, the level of productivity in this world is higher than that of China's Warring States Period!

It can be seen that the rulers of this world, whether nobles or gods, are all a bunch of war scum who are dragging down the development of civilization!

While Sui Xiong was slandering the rulers of this world, Ray had already traveled with Steele along an apparently poorly maintained dirt road to the city of Gerten.

He didn't ride his own Swiftlocer, but as he approached the edge of the Greystone Mountains, he had released it and set it free. Because the feature of "a black-armored knight riding a swift dragon" is too conspicuous, in comparison, just a "black-armored knight" is much more common.

In order to restore the nature of this riding animal, which had long been completely domesticated, he had always been proud and stubborn, and he specially asked Sui Xiong for help, using Sui Xiong's power to stimulate the wildness in the heart of the Xunlong, so that it could adapt to life in the mountains and forests.

When the mount, which had been with him for several years, suddenly had a fierce glint in his eyes and seemed to want to attack, but after carefully considering each other's strength, he walked away without attachment, Sui Xiong noticed that the lone thief's eyes showed deep sadness.

Maybe...... For the man, who had been accustomed to loneliness for many years, the mount was almost his only friend. At this moment, they parted ways, and it can be said that they broke off completely, and he couldn't help but be sad.

Ray's riding skills were good, much to Steele's surprise. Although she called Ray a "knight", she didn't really think of him as a knight in her heart - who had ever seen a fallen knight without a mount, with a gun and a sword on his back, trekking alone in the mountains?

A true knight, no matter how down-and-out he is, is indispensable to dismount with a sword in his hand. Because of the lack of these two most important weapons, his strength will be greatly reduced.

But when she witnessed the amazing riding skills of the black-armored knight, she doubted her previous judgment.

A man who made a horse with a rather violent temperament become docile and obedient with just two touches of his hand, a man who rode a horse as easily as walking, and did not even affect the rhythm of his speech, a man who rode on a horse, and whose movements were perfectly coordinated, and who seemed to be ready to draw his sword and fight at any moment...... This kind of person is not a knight, and the standard of a knight is too high!

She had the impression that Gerten led the most famous knights, and that seemed to be it.

This mysterious black-armored knight can't really be some powerful knight, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel apprehensive again.

Knights, especially powerful knights, are generally from a background and a background. There are two most common types of origin, one is the children of noble families who have too low succession priority, and the other is the elite specially cultivated by the church. Either way, they must have seen the world and are familiar with the "law of nobility".

She had the confidence to applaud an adventurer who knew little about the aristocratic world, but in the face of a knight of true aristocratic origin, or a well-cultivated preparatory high-ranking person of the Church, that confidence would inevitably shrink considerably.

Will she be better at scheming than other nobles? Apparently not. If that's the case, why was he parachuted into power by that bastard son with a big problematic background, and almost gave up his life?

So, what about the preparatory top of the church? I'm afraid it's not necessarily much better, after all, people are originally trained to play against the aristocracy and intrigue with each other. Maybe he's better at using his brain than with a sword......

Thinking of this, Steele couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart, feeling that she seemed to be a little suspicious of driving the tiger at the front door and entering the wolf at the back door.

What's worse is that the tiger at the front door is still there......

Steele Gelten, who had always considered herself smart and beautiful (the latter was especially crucial) and was the essence of Gerten's younger generation (if he only considered something, maybe yes), suddenly felt that his previous choice might not be so wise.

But as the saying goes, "there is no turning back when the bow is opened", she is now forced to a dead end, stretching out her head and shrinking her head is nothing more than a knife. It's like a commoner who has been pressed into the aristocratic court, the charges and punishments are all arranged, and the trial is just a formality. At such a time, even if there is only a glimmer of life, it is necessary to give full play to the mouth cannon with full firepower, and it is best to be able to slap the whole audience, so that the plaintiff and the judge are speechless.

In this case, even if the imperial bard was singing the next day, "No matter how wonderful the prisoner's defense is, he does not deserve to win applause", at least he has worked hard, and he can smile slightly when he goes to the gallows, and silently say "This is not a crime of war", so as to win a final dignity for himself.

Thinking so, Steele was relieved.

Anyway, it's better than being strangled by those mistresses......

The two horses, carrying the knight on their backs, walked unhurriedly towards the city of Gerten. When he saw Steele pass by on horseback intact, the eyes of the captain of the guards guarding the city gate widened almost to the point of doubting that his eyeballs would fall out.

"Silk ...... Miss Steele?!" He subconsciously stopped in front of Steele's horse, not knowing what to say.

It's not appropriate to say, "Welcome back"? If Master Romon knew that he was welcoming Miss Steele in public, he would not even have to think about it!

So, it doesn't work to say, "Why are you here?" Miss Steele is still the heir to the viscount, second only to Young Master Romon in the order of succession. I'm just a janitor, and this isn't in bed, how can I be disrespectful to her! Is it true that a tiger that is sick to death can't bite people to death!

What to say......

The burly captain couldn't help but have a fine bead of sweat on his forehead, and they quickly moved closer to each other and grew larger, turning into two lines of sweat running down his cheeks in less than half a minute at most.

Fortunately, he was a veteran after all, and he was a little quick-witted, so he reluctantly came up with an excuse and asked with a smile: "Miss Steele, didn't you go out of the city with a group of people before?

Steele smiled coldly, completely ignoring the usual commotion that throws away his eyes when he sees people, raised his head, put on a posture of nostrils to look at people, and said in an arrogant tone that is too noble to be noble: "I don't know yet, this guard of the gate of Gerten City dares to question the lord to whom he is loyal—do you think that what I have done and what retinue I have brought with me still needs to report to you?"

This is a bit heavy, and it has risen to the level of class struggle. The captain suddenly became excited, stood upright, put on the most upright military posture, and shouted: "Queue up! Welcome Miss Steele back to the city!"

Although the soldiers did not understand very well, when they saw that their superiors had been cleaned up, they did not know where to be vigilant! They immediately lined up in two teams according to their usual training and put on a welcoming formation.

Strictly speaking, their practices were not in accordance with the rules, and the courtesy of welcoming them in a procession was something that only the lords could enjoy. Now that the old viscount has died and the viscount position is vacant, no one in the Gerten Lordship is qualified to accept this kind of welcome.

But at this time, who will dig into it?

If it was according to the original plan, there would probably be, because Romon arranged two people here at the city gate just to deal with possible accidents.

But seeing this scene from afar, one of the two had already turned on his horse and galloped towards the Viscount's mansion to deliver the letter. The other person, who seemed to be in good strength, thought twice, but in the end he didn't come to stop him.

These two people can be entrusted with important tasks, of course, they are not fools, as soon as they saw that Steele, a weak chicken who was about to die, suddenly changed, not only was he full of confidence, but the group of bribed lovers around him were replaced by a black-armored knight of unknown origin, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.

Since something is wrong, you can't act rashly. In particular, the strength left behind is extraordinary, and it is close to the level of a high-level swordsman, and his vision is excellent. He looked at Lei carefully, but was shocked to find that although this black-armored knight was riding on a horse, his body was in a posture that could respond to attacks from any direction at any time, which was simply invulnerable - this could no longer be described as "strong", it was completely beyond imagination!

He had seen the most powerful knights in Gerten. Those few people can also maintain this state, but it is when they are about to fight. But this black-armored knight obviously has no intention of preparing to fight with others, but can maintain this state in daily life.

There was no need for very complicated logic, and he easily came to a conclusion.

A conclusion that scared his legs a little.

This black-armored knight of unknown origin is likely to be a high-level adventurer, and maybe even - close to legend!
