At midnight, in Simon's capital, Ebilis, the largest tavern in the Plebeian area, in the "Moonlight Whispering......

"Hey, Giggs, have another drink, don't hurry!" a drunken middle-aged man shouted loudly in the tavern. The other drinkers in the tavern followed suit, and it was clear that the people here were very familiar with him.

"Huh! hiccup...... You—Do you think I'm doing nothing like you 'wanderers'?" Hiccup...... Tomorrow, tomorrow is the annual cavalry meeting!I-I can't be late!" Giggs was in worse shape than the one who had just spoken! The wine burps one after another, and his eyes were blurred, as if he could not open his eyes from the dim light of magic. Even though those lights don't look that bright......

Every night Giggs comes here to "hang out". That's how his big red rosacea appeared.

The tavern does not offer "special services", after all, this is the imperial capital. But Giggs doesn't have any bad habits other than his love of drinking!

Soldiers, it's all good to take this sip! Wine can strengthen courage, as we all know!

However, there are not many generals like Ryan Giggs who like to come to the pub in the civilian area.

Pushing open the spring door of the tavern, a fresh earthy smell hits your face. After the autumn rains, Ebilis is exceptionally quiet and peaceful...... The streets are still damp, and pedestrians walk on them, resounding with a reassuring melody.

"Whew~" exhaled a breath of turbidity, and Giggs's state recovered a lot. Standing still in front of the door, as if he had changed a person, he completely lost the standard drunkard appearance of his cloudy eyes just now. But it's a lot of alcohol.

However, at the moment when Giggs had just lifted his foot, a chill suddenly hit his broad back! The foot that had just been lifted was instantly retracted! His eyes suddenly returned to clarity, and the expression on his face gradually became cold, how could there be a trace of drunkenness!

"Assassination?" the thought immediately crossed Giggs' mind.

Giggs didn't move, and there was silence outside the tavern door......

As the minutes ticked by, Giggs felt the familiar aura coming from behind him, and his body gradually relaxed.

And just as Giggs was feeling a little slack, suddenly a strong wind came straight at the back of his head!

It's a perfect sneak attack!

But who is Giggs? That is the head of the Thirteenth Regiment of the Holy See of Light! He is known as the true leader of the "Simon's Shield"! How many assassinations have passed? Giggs has already had the means to deal with this situation!

As for the place where the breath is, with Giggs's experience, he already knows everything about it!

I saw the fighting energy in Giggs's body gushing out, covering his whole body in an instant! A thin gauze-like "fighting qi gauze" (Note 2) appeared on his body surface. As if he had broken free from the rope, his thick arms suddenly wrenched! The air in his back seemed to have been struck hard!

Subsequently, Giggs raised his right leg high......

"Gravel Splits!"

"Boom~", the ground cracked, and the stone chips flew up!

And the half-crouching figure on the eaves of the tavern represents that Giggs was completely correct......

Giggs's series of actions are like flowing water, without dragging, in one go!

However, the figure on the eaves was not slow to react! At the same time that the gravel was just shaken away, the figure anticipated the opportunity! A vague shadow moved abruptly, trying to pass over the other side of Giggs! Extremely fast!

Giggs was vigorous and powerful! The man was swift and agile! Two people, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, openly moved their hands on this civilian street!

But......

The battle ended much sooner than expected......

Just as the figure had just passed through Giggs's side, trying to cross Giggs, a huge, broad, calloused palm grabbed his arm at once! Then he felt that the heavens and the earth spun faster at this moment, and his body was thrown out by Giggs and smashed into the houses on the other side of the street! If this time it really happened, it would be as simple as the collapse of the walls of the house!

The corners of Giggs's mouth sneered......

However, the sound of the weight falling to the ground did not rise as Giggs had hoped, but Giggs seemed to know the outcome.

I saw that the man struck several empty punches in the air in a row, and after continuously changing direction with the help of the force of hitting the air, he stood firmly on the roof of the house on the other side!

"Is that time...... "Giggs asked softly, smiling away.

Against the backdrop of the moonlight, a cynical face was gradually revealed. It's just that this young and handsome face is full of helplessness......

"Giggs, don't you want to see what time it is? You are good, you are chic and happy, what about me? I haven't eaten yet!" As the young man spoke, the tense atmosphere between the two instantly became "harmonious......

"You kid won't have anything to eat? Hmph!" After speaking, he ignored the young man standing on the opposite roof, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly in a certain direction. And in one step, he returned to his previous drunken state again......

Seeing that Giggs didn't intend to pay attention to himself at all, the young man shook his head and smiled bitterly, and chased directly on the roof of the townhouse in the direction of Giggs. And there is no intention of coming down at all.

"I said Giggs, the Tang ...... you told me about the other day Belch...... What academy?" asked the young man, following the example of Giggs, with his hands behind his back.

"Void Slash Academy~" Giggs emphasized without looking back.

"Yes, the Void Slash Academy!Is it strong or not?I'll say okay first, if it's not strong, I'll come back and settle accounts with you!" the young man seemed to have some doubts about his predetermined fate.

"You've asked this kid a thousand times, eight hundred times, right?" said Giggs, shaking his head and scoffing. Carry on with your hands on your back. "My ears are almost calloused! It's still the same sentence, either join the army or go to the Tang Kingdom to study. Choose one of the two!"

"Whoosh!" Lightly crossed the roof with a height difference, and the young man did not pause: "Join the army...... Not good. "Young people outright the first option.

"It's better to go to Tang Kingdom, it's more attractive! Okay, let's go to Tang Kingdom!" the young man seemed to have made a decision. Seemingly flippant......

But Giggs doesn't think so, for no other reason. Because the two of them have discussed this matter more than ten times! And the problem is that every time the young man's choice is the same......

Giggs hummed a ditty from his lips. The young man on the roof also lowered his head and thought about his own business, and the two did not talk again. One old and one young, one up and down, under the light of this quiet moonlight, a peculiar scenery was formed......

The young man is Turi!

This year, Toury was twenty years old and Giggs was sixty-seven......

A month later, Simon's capital, Ebilis, at the gates of the city.

A young man of about twenty years old, with a melon seed face, is not very handsome, and has an inexplicable smile on his face. With an unknown straw pole in his mouth, a white horse in his left hand and a not very expensive shirt in his right hand, he leaned against the gate of the city wall very casually and lazily, squinting at the sun in the west.

"If you don't come yet, if you don't come again, the sun will go down, do you want me to rush to a town forty miles away in the dark?"

The guards at the gates looked at the young man with a serious but somewhat adoring look. Nothing else, except that this young man had learned all the martial arts of the regiment leader in his sixties when he was in his twenties. Now I want to go to the strongest martial arts academy in the Tang Kingdom to study.

At this moment, the guards heard the sound of fast and heavy footsteps behind them, and of course they knew who was coming, having heard the footsteps for several years. Immediately put your legs together. Stand straighter!

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

"Hmm".

At this time, Tu Rui turned his head and saw a middle-aged human man, with a Chinese face, sword eyebrows, and a beard. A red face from drinking all year round, a standard rosacea, and a heavily armored body. A large scarlet cloak on the back. Holding a blue metal helmet in his right hand, his left hand naturally rests on the hilt of the heavy sword on the left side of his waist. Walk towards the gate of the city.

Turi was stunned for a moment. "It doesn't have to be so grand to send it off. ”

"What are you talking about, just now the hall lord asked us to have a meeting with the heads of the regiment, and I received a mission to go to Kara, an important town in the east, and I will see you off by the way. As he spoke, Giggs's palm struck Turry's head. Then he turned his head and said to the two captains behind him. "Assemble the bunnies. Depart for Kara in a moment. "Yes, Captain." As he spoke, the two vice-captains ran quickly into the camp a few miles to the left outside the city gate.

Giggs is clearly not a rigid person.

Next, under the expressions of the guards at the two city gates who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and couldn't hold back any longer, the two big men parted for the first time in seventeen years. What do you say about keeping warm in winter, where to buy snacks if you want to eat snacks and so on...... Their brave and invincible captain took out a heavy bag of gold coins from the package on the horse next to him and handed it to Turi's hand. "There are five hundred gold coins in it, and your favorite roast chicken legs, pay attention to safety all the way, don't worry about what you shouldn't care, write to me when you get there." ”

Turui's stiff face was full of helplessness, but he still pretended to listen seriously, and from time to time he said something like "good" and "um......

"Get out, bastard, come back when you're done."

Turi exhaled with relief, then got on the horse as fast as he could in his life, turned around and shouted, "Old man, you also pay attention to safety, I'm leaving." "Who do you say is !!," Giggs scolded angrily, pretending to be a few steps after him. But then he sighed. "Hey, five years is not a long time or a short time, bastard work hard. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future......"

Thinking of the unexpected change in Toury's body, Giggs was proud and horrified......

The town of Pordo. The capital of Simon is one of the six major towns around it, forty-two miles away from the capital, and it is a military town and belongs to the last line of defense of Simon. Two thousand soldiers were stationed.

By the way, the number of wars between the major powers of the Tianxuan Continent is actually not very large, like the powerful Tang Kingdom, all the arms together only have less than 500,000 soldiers, after all, it is a non-war era of peace. The most Tianxuan is still an adventurer.

For example, Simon has 360,000 soldiers, and the Holy See has 260,000 soldiers, adding up to more than 600,000. There are thirteen knights in the Holy See, three of which are the Knights of Light, who are directly under the Holy See and are the main hall of the Temple of Light. The remaining ten knights are responsible for assisting the empire in defending the borders, etc., and carrying out a series of activities and missions that benefit the Holy See. It is in the hands of the Council of Light. The Holy See of Light is divided into two parts: the Temple of Light and the Council of Light.

Large towns like Kara, Porto, etc., usually have about 2,000 to 5,000 garrisons.

At about 7 p.m. Turry and his sturdy-looking white horse walked into the bustling-looking main street of Porto. The white horse's name is Hundred Paws, and it was a gift from Ryan Giggs for his twentieth birthday.

"There is still nearly a year before the opening of the Void Slash Academy, and the old man actually said that he would let me come out to experience the experience, but he didn't tell me how to go to the Tang Kingdom...... Is. Toury thought a little dazed.

Just as he was in this trance, someone suddenly hit him from behind, and before he could react, he saw a young man wearing a black hooded cloak running forward quickly. Disappear into the bend ahead.

After a while, three middle-aged men also hurried from the same direction. One of the men glanced at Turry and frowned. He stopped and said, "Do you see a man with a black cloak running in which way?"

Before Turi could react, he looked dazed. "It seems to have turned left at the second junction ahead. And hit me a little. The man looked at Tu Rui's long sword on the left hand, looked at Tu Rui like an idiot, and said sympathetically: "What kind of warrior, I lost something, I don't know yet." Come along. ”

After graduating from Simon's Infant Academy, Giggs asked Turry to go to the Warriors' Guild to get the samurai badge, but after all, he never traveled far away. Without experiencing this, social experience is completely equal to zero. As soon as the middle-aged man said that, as soon as he touched his waist, the bag containing five hundred gold coins that Giggs gave him was gone. Very annoyed for a while. Turning his head and shouting to White Paw, "Hundred Claws, wait for me in place." Be right back. Whether the horse understood it or not, he quickly chased after it.

"I stopped stealing chickens and dogs when I was sixteen, but I didn't expect to meet them as soon as I arrived in Bodo, hehe, want to run?" Turry thought with a wicked smile. No social experience doesn't mean you can't handle things, catching thieves is common. At the age of fifteen, Giggs couldn't catch himself......

The three middle-aged men who looked like they had lost something valuable saw Turry's running speed like the wind, and watched in amazement as he overtook them in the blink of an eye. Follow the footprints of the man in the cloak. Because it had rained the day before, the street lamps that had been washed by the rain looked unusually bright. The undried water trail gave Turi not many clues.

"The footprints are gone here......"

"On top". The panting middle-aged man in the back shouted.

"It's professional, but you can't escape. Turi poured his legs into his hands, borrowed force from the wall, and jumped onto the roof of the town's townhouse. Turning his head, he made a roundabout gesture to the three middle-aged men and quickly chased after them.

The middle-aged man turned his head and gave an order to the two men who looked like attendants, and chased them into the depths of the street.

Note 1: Wanderer, unemployed vagrant, likes to wander around, eat and drink, old oil.

Note 2: Fighting spirit, a manifestation of protective fighting spirit. Thin as cicada wings! Behind it, there are ball-wrapped protective fighting qi, fighting qi armor and so on.
