"Your Excellency Capello, how did you encounter so many bandits?" asked the old knight Capello as he sighed at what he saw, Leo dismounted from his horse and walked up to Capello.

"We don't know about that. Hearing Leo's question, the old knight's thoughts were pulled back, and he looked at the corpses of the robbers around him, and said.

"I don't think it's easy. Sylvia also got off her horse at this time and said, "It stands to reason that this place has entered the middle of Towcent, and there should not be such a large bandit group." As she spoke, she turned to Leo and said, "Remember the two bandits we saw on the way here? It is definitely not an ordinary thing for three bandits of different sizes to appear at the same time on such a short road, those two bandits are more like intercepting people who might interfere with the battle here, if I am not bad, this road should have been able to meet one or two more bandits in the past." ”

"You mean someone deliberately targeting this caravan?" Leo said as Sylvia thought as he thought.

Hearing the conversation between Leo and Sylvia, the look on the old knight Capello's face became very ugly, because the incident happened suddenly, he didn't have time to think about it, but now that the matter has passed, coupled with Leo and Sylvia's analysis, he can't see the strangeness in it.

So, he turned around and called the caravan leader, who was sorting out the wagon cargo for the caravan, and asked, "Adot, let me ask you, is there any special cargo in your wagon?"

When the caravan leader was called, his attention was completely attracted by the gorgeous armor on Leo and Sylvia, and he didn't pay attention to the old knight's question for a while, until the old knight asked for the second time, he came back to his senses, and quickly shook his head and said, "No!" Master Capello, you know that my caravan is just an ordinary caravan, and it is also carrying some ordinary goods, where there will be any special goods, if there is, I will not lead the team so hard every day to run around every day, not only to eat and sleep, but also to worry about encountering robbers. ”

Seeing the caravan leader's answer so affirmatively, the old knight Capello couldn't help but show a puzzled look, and then the caravan leader asked why the old knight questioned him so much, and then told him Sylvia and Leo's guess just now.

Listening to the old knight's words, the caravan leader's face immediately showed a look of shock, obviously this matter was also unheard of for him, but in shock, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but look at the old knight.

This little action was easily caught by Leo and Sylvia, who asked, "Mr. Adot, did you think of any clues?"

Hearing Sylvia's question, which was like a Valkyrie, the caravan leader hurriedly lowered his head and said, "There are indeed some clues. ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at the old knight.

"This clue has something to do with Lord Capello?" Leo asked clearly when he saw the caravan leader's appearance.

"What? has anything to do with me?" the old knight was also at a loss, glaring at the caravan leader, and asked, "How can this matter have anything to do with me?"

The caravan leader shrunk his neck and cautiously reminded, "Lord Capello, have you forgotten the sealed box that Lord Britta asked you to bring back to him?"

With the reminder of the caravan leader, the old knight also quickly thought of something, first stunned for a moment, and then his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip, and he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Sylvia asked the caravan leader about the situation, and the caravan leader did not hide it, and carefully told what he knew.

It turned out that the time of the wine conference was approaching day by day, and the disappearance case of Britta Manor had not yet been solved, and the wines stored in the cellar of the manor would have a high chance of losing taste if no one took care of them.

So the Count of Britta felt that he might fail miserably at the wine conference, so he decided to prepare for two things, on the one hand, he was still looking for a solution to the disappearance, and on the other hand, he had secretly sent someone to other countries to buy a very high-grade wine recipe at a high price, and was going to use this recipe to make a wine to stand out at the wine conference next year.

In order to avoid letting people know about this, Count Britta did not use his own men, but let Capello, who had just joined him, take the opportunity to patrol the border and bring this recipe back, which can be regarded as a test of Capello's ability.

The caravan leader felt that if there was anything in the ranks that was worth remembering, even if he would collude with bandits to attack them, this was the only recipe for wine, and that the man who did it was probably an enemy of the Count of Brita.

"Just for a wine recipe?" Leo felt a little unbelievable after hearing the caravan leader's narration, because in the three views of cognition and ethical common sense that he had built up after he gradually gained ordinary human emotions, the things in the caravan leader's mouth completely contradicted his cognition, and could be described as absurd.

"Yes. Without waiting for the caravan leader to respond, Sylvia replied: "Never overestimate the lower limit of the nobles' work, they do everything to achieve their goals, the so-called aristocratic spirit is just a layer of disguise, I have seen this kind of thing a lot in France." ”

"But that's ridiculous! What's the use of a wine recipe?" Leo still didn't understand this kind of thing, at least he just broke away from the absolute sanity of cyborgs and re-established his emotional cognition, and couldn't understand this kind of thing.

"You forget, the country of Touscent is also known as the land of blood and wine, although blood can be said to be the blood left by the elven kingdom back then, it can also be said to be wine, which shows the importance of wine in this country. Sylvia turned to the caravan leader and the old knight Capello and said, "If I'm right, the winners and participants of the annual wine festival will not only receive benefits in terms of money and fame, but also in other ways, such as the promotion of status, etc., right?"

The caravan leader and the old knight Capello both nodded in agreement.

With such huge interests involved, it is not so difficult to understand that those nobles would do such a thing. Sylvia smiled disdainfully, then looked at the corpses of the bandits around her, and said, "Being able to gather so many bandits in the heart of Touscent to form a bandit group silently, that secret plotter obviously has a lot of status and power in the Bowkelan Palace, you had better rush to the nearby town as soon as possible, inform your respective superiors, and ask them to send someone to pick them up." Don't even think about separating, because the person in charge behind the scenes will definitely think that you are in the same group, and if you do, it will only make him think that you are both suspected of carrying the formula. But once you get to the town, you should be safe, after all, as long as the man has a little sense, he won't do anything to let the bandits attack the town. ”

Hearing Sylvia's suggestion, the old knight and the caravan leader both nodded, and it was the old knight Capello who suddenly asked, "May I hire two ......?"

"I'm sorry, we still have our own business to do!" Before the old knight could finish speaking, Sylvia immediately refused, then gestured to Leo, turned to get on his horse, and said, "Now that the matter here has been settled, then we will continue on our way, hoping to meet the two of them in Bowclan." ”

After saying that, after waiting for Leo to mount his horse, the two immediately drove their horses away from this small battlefield, not giving the old knight and the caravan leader a chance to stay.

After the two of them had traveled a distance on horseback, Leo couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked, "Why didn't we accept Capello's employment just now? We directly helped Capello deliver the recipe to Count Britt, and we should also be able to get Count Britt's thanks, and then get his guarantee?"

Sylvia looked at Leo with a strange look on her face and asked, "Are you going to get involved in the Game of Thrones within the Lords of Towcent?"

Leo wondered, "Aren't we intervening now, knowing that we killed the bandits, ruined the plans of the mastermind behind the scenes, and we were given a mission from Count Britt." ”

"Of course not. Sylvia shook her head and explained, "We only killed that bandit group because we occasionally encountered people in distress to rescue them, and this is a matter of following the laws and virtues of fact, and it has nothing to do with who is on the side, who we support and who we don't support." And the fact that we have taken on the assignment of Earl Britt is just an ordinary mercenary assignment does not mean that we support Earl Britt. But if we continue to escort Capello back to Bowland and deliver the recipe safely to Earl Britt, then it means that we are completely on the side of Earl Britt, and the nature is completely different. ”

"It's complicated enough. Leo shook his head, feeling that this kind of aristocratic game was not something he could adapt to, so he didn't think about it that much, and then he asked about the use of Sylvia's weapons and armor.

"The Dragon Lance is very easy to use, and it's very easy to use. Sylvia patted the box containing the dragon lance with satisfaction, then raised her arm again, and said, "But when the arm is moving, the shoulder will cause a little obstacle when the arm is raised, and there is also ......"

Hearing Sylvia's problems, Leo also solved these problems one by one, because he took the adjustment into account when designing the armor, so he reserved some adjustment space and devices, and after a series of adjustments, this dragon hunter armor is more suitable for Sylvia's figure.

On the way after that, the two didn't encounter any trouble.

However, there were some small details on the road that they noticed, such as not long after leaving the abandoned manor, they met two groups of bandits on the road, just like the other two groups of bandits they met before, the two groups of bandits also felt that Leo and Sylvia were not easy to mess with, and did not attack them, and Leo also found through the spirit network that these two groups of bandits seemed to be very surprised and surprised that they could come from the other side of the road, and the appearance of these bandits also confirmed Sylvia's guess.

Because they were traveling late at night, and when they were on the road, they deliberately avoided some villages and towns, so not many people saw Leo and Sylvia, but anyone who saw them would be attracted by their armor, and even some mythological associations would come to mind, and by the next day, there was a story about the Light Knight and the Dark Knight chasing each other from the Vidiot Valley to the foot of the Gogong Mountain.

Although Capello and his caravan also spread the news of Leo and Sylvia's destruction of the bandits, the spread was too small, and the story of the two exotic knights didn't sound very mysterious, so it was quickly drowned in other more magical tales.

In the early morning, Leo and Sylvia had arrived at the outskirts of Earl Britt's manor after a long night's journey.

Compared with the east bank of the Sansredo River, which is sunny and has a suitable climate, the west bank can only get sunlight in the morning because of the Gaogong Mountain, and the sunlight is blocked by the high mountains in the afternoon, and the cold air flowing on the top of the high mountain will be swept down in the early morning, which is enough to kill the young grape seedlings, so for a long time this land can not grow grapes, and it is in an abandoned state.

It wasn't until a druid found a hardy vine and grafted it onto a local vine branch in Towcent, making the local vine seedling hardy, that such a vast area at the foot of the Gaugon Mountains could come into play.

The estate of the Count of Britta is in the middle of the foot of the Gaugon, which is the only gently sloping mountain, originally the estate was built at the foot of the mountain, but halfway through the construction, it was found that there was a natural cave at the top of this slope, which was very suitable for storing wine, so the main house of the estate was moved to the top of the mountain, and the unfinished manor at the foot of the mountain became the residence of the workers.

At that time, many nobles thought that although the Count of Britta had lost a certain amount of money, his decision was very correct.

Because the vineyard of the Count of Britta is located very close to Lake Seravi, when the estate moved to the highlands, standing on the small tower built by the estate, you can easily see the lake surface of Lake Seravi in the distance, and even the island in the middle of the lake where the legendary fairy of the lake lives, when the morning sun shines down, the lake shimmers and the scenery is pleasant.

If the weather is good, you can see a blurry image of the Bowland Palace in the distance from the estate.

It is precisely because of the scenery and environment of Britta Manor that the land controlled around the manor has been favored by many nobles, who have bought the surrounding area and built the manor, not only to make wine, but also to provide themselves with a place to escape the heat in the summer.

It's just that during this time, because of the disappearance of Britta Manor, the manor in this area has become panicked, although the disappearance case is limited to Britta Manor, but the people around the manor are already scared and consider whether they should give up their jobs here and leave here.

Because of this, the owners of the surrounding manors also have a lot of complaints about Count Brita, which brings invisible pressure to Count Brita.
