Now those wandering knights are all in a state of difficulty riding tigers, they can't withdraw if they want to, and they can't win at all, and now there are old knights who set up ladders, and they naturally won't know what to do, and one by one they deliberately pretend to obey orders, put the long sword in their hands into the scabbard, and turn around and walk back without saying anything, and do their own thing, as if what happened just now has never happened.

"Your Excellency's sword, your sword!" Leo did not give up any longer, and returned the two scabbarded swords to the old knight.

When the old knight Capello took the sword, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because if Leo was really unforgiving, he couldn't stop it, because Leo had shown great swordsmanship far beyond anyone he knew. As for Leo's knighthood, he no longer doubted it, because such excellent swordsmanship would be canonized as a knight in any court, as long as the people in power were not blind.

After handing the sword back to the old knight, Leo picked up the container full of water again and returned to the ruins of the elven kingdom, at this time everyone's eyes looked at him differently, full of awe, after all, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see what the situation was like when he fought with those wandering knights just now, and Leo's words before that they were knights no one would think it was a lie.

"Here, you can freshen up!" Leo said as he came to his resting place and handed the container to Sylvia.

Sylvia naturally took the container and put it on the stone platform next to it, and while briefly freshening up and sorting out her clothes, she asked Leo, "Why were you so high-profile just now, it seems to be a little different from your way of doing things." ”

"Sometimes it's better to be high-profile and avoid a lot of trouble. Leo replied, packing his bags.

Sylvia wiped the water from her face with a hand towel, walked up to Leo, and asked, "Shall I be high-profile too?"

Leo looked at Sylvia, lifted a strand of hair hanging in front of his eyes, hung it behind his ear, and said, "When you put on the knight's armor and defeat one opponent after another, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep a low profile. ”

"Well, that's right. Sylvia smiled, kissed Leo, and turned to the caravan to order hot water and a drink.

After a hiccup by the stream, nothing else happened in the camp, everyone quickly packed up their belongings after freshening up, and the wandering knights put on their armor again and set out on their way.

The only difference from yesterday was that everyone's attitude towards Leo and Sylvia had become more respectful and closer, and the caravan leader came over from time to time to ask what they needed, after all, it was a good thing for the caravan to have two knights with strong swordsmanship in the caravan.

Although only Leo showed amazing swordsmanship, everyone still counted Leo and Sylvia together, believing that Sylvia should also be a very strong knight.

Especially after the squires who saw Sylvia catch prey with a crossbow last night told everyone about it, everyone felt more and more that Sylvia was probably more difficult to deal with than Leo, because the sword still needs to be close to kill people, but the bow and crossbow can deal with the enemy at a long distance, and the enemy doesn't even know how to die.

On the way, the old knight Capello came to the carriage where Leo and the two were located, and then he jumped off the horse, tied the horse to the railing of the carriage, and motioned for the coachman to leave for a while, and then he sat in the coachman's place, skillfully driving the carriage, and at the same time asked Leo: "Your Excellency Leo said before that the two of you went to Bowland to attend the knights' conference, but in my opinion, it may be difficult for the two of you to attend the conference." ”

"Why?" Leo asked as he knew the old knight's thoughts well and did not debunk them.

"Because the identities of the two knights cannot be identified. The old knight Capello said a key question, and then worried about annoying Leo and Sylvia, and added: "It's not that I deny the knightly identities of the two, but the national flanges of the two are too far away from here, and we have never heard of them, and naturally we can't investigate the knightly identities of the two." ”

When Leo heard this, he deliberately made a look of embarrassment and said, "Are we here for nothing this time?"

"Of course not. The old knight Capello hurriedly shook his head and said: "Actually, Your Excellency has two ways to obtain a knight's certificate, the first is to find a way to join a knight's order, obtain the status of a knight, and then establish enough merits to become a knight." However, this method does not seem to me to be suitable for Your Excellency, and I don't think Your Excellency will be willing to become an acolyte. As he spoke, he paused and said, "The other is to obtain the patronage of a prestigious local nobleman in Tousent, so that this nobleman can vouch for the authenticity of the two knights. ”

Leo frowned and asked, "This nobleman shouldn't vouch for a stranger for no reason, right?"

"Of course," the old knight continued, "Your Excellency must first gain enough prestige, such as taking on some bulletin board tasks in various large towns, gaining civil prestige, and letting the great nobles know that there is such a person as you, and then you can meet the nobleman himself and do something for him, so that you can exchange the nobles' guarantee for the knighthood." ”

Leo asked, "But it's taking too long, isn't it? ”

The old knight said in a deep voice: "It is true that it takes a long time, but sometimes it is possible to take shortcuts and do two things together. ”

Leo asked sincerely, "Please also let Capello know." ”

Seeing that Leo was so cooperative, the old knight didn't sell it anymore, and told the argument that he had prepared a long time ago.

It turned out that the old knight Capello had already been appreciated by an Earl of the Duchy of Touscent named Claumi Brita, and after completing this patrol, he would leave the Wandering Knights and become the Earl's captain of the Guard.

It's just that the Count of Britta has been in some trouble lately, and the old knight Capello can't solve this problem, which also affects his status in the heart of the Count of Brita.

The trouble was that seven workers and farmers had recently disappeared from one of the vineyards of the Count of Britta and that seven people had gone missing, and that the Bowland side had sent someone to investigate, but no investigation had yielded any results, and that on the night the mission was still in the vineyard, another person had disappeared.

So all kinds of rumors spread for a while, the most widely circulated rumor was that the ghost of the elven kingdom was taking revenge on Count Brita.

It turns out that the ancestor of this Count Britta had killed many elves in the war with the elves, and even showed no mercy to the elven children, and even some humans couldn't look at it, calling them elven butchers.

Later, the elven butcher was granted the status of an earl for his merits, and also obtained a large fief, and the location of that fief was on the ruins of the former elven kingdom, but the earl had his own apartment in Bowran, so he did not live in the fief.

Later, the Count of Britta found that the location of the fief was very suitable for growing grapes, so he cleared all the elven ruins there, leaving only a few foundations to build a wine-making estate, and the rest of the land was planted with grapes.

Over the years, the vineyard has become one of the finest vineyards in the Duchy of Towcente, and the wines produced by the Count of Britta have been frequent guests at wine conferences, winning several wine conferences.

The disappearance of the vineyard had a great impact on the winemaking process, as the workers and farmers were reluctant to work in such a dangerous environment, and a large number of ripe grapes could not be harvested but could only rot, and the wine being made could eventually fail because no one took care of it.

After the Knights' Conference, there is the annual Wine Meeting, and if the Count of Britta is unable to solve the problems of his wine estate and make the wine in time, then he will be absent from this Wine Conference, which will definitely be a serious blow to his prestige.

In Towcente, the winner of the wine conference is just as important, if not more important, than the winner of the knight's conference, after all, the wine conference is attended by either rich businessmen with wealth and status, or nobles with unusual status. Whether it's winning a wine conference or just attending a wine conference, it's extremely important for any winemaker, and one absence can lead to a loss of prestige that can't be remedied by ten attendees.

After the disappearance of the vineyard, some of the Earl of Britta began to secretly spread rumors, even saying that the wine made from Britta Vineyard contained the curse of the ghost of the elven kingdom, and anyone who drank it would be cursed.

Although this kind of rumor is a little wise, people will feel that it is too false after hearing it. But not everyone can look at these rumors rationally and wisely, and the vast majority of people follow them blindly, so there have been some rumors in Bowland that are somewhat unfavorable to Count Brita.

Now the Earl of Britta has a priority to solve the disappearance of the manor and break the rumors of a ghostly curse from the outside world.

Therefore, the Count of Britta has recently found a lot of people to investigate, but there is still no result, there are still people missing, and the number of missing people has reached as many as ten, and the workers and farmers of the manor are not willing to get closer to the manor even if the Count Britta pays more.

Now the Count of Britta is completely helpless about the affairs of the wine estate, so according to the old knight Capello, if Leo can help the Count solve this problem at this time, let alone guarantee their knighthood, even if it is not a problem to directly let the Count canonize them as Knights of Towcente.

"How am I going to take on this task?" asked Leo after a moment's thought.

The old knight immediately explained: "It's very simple, the town of Tiran where we arrived at noon is a town with a bulletin board, and the Count of Britta has left a mission announcement on almost all the town bulletin boards in Towcent, and then Your Excellency only needs to take this mission announcement and register it in the tavern in charge of the bulletin board." ”

Leo frowned when he heard this, and said, "Is this the way to take on the mission?, but our reward is not for money, but for the guarantee of the knight, doesn't this kind of reward need to be discussed in advance?"

"Not at all," the old knight shook his head and said, "When Lord Leo sees the mission announcement on the bulletin board, you will know that the Earl is willing to pay an extremely generous reward to solve this trouble, and the reward you want is just a small thing." ”

After saying that, the old knight felt that he had successfully accomplished his goal as a lobbyist, so he had no interest in staying here any longer, and after a few casual words with Leo, he jumped out of the carriage, exchanged the driving rights for the coachman who was always following the carriage not far away, untied the reins of his mount, straddled his horse, and quickly left.

After the old knight left, Leo asked Sylvia, who had been silent all along, in French, "What do you think of this?"

"A very good springboard!" Sylvia nodded and said, "We don't really have to be the earl to vouch for the knighthood, we can actually use his earl status as a springboard to contact other Towson high-ups, and further contact with that court sorceress Friengira Vigo." ”

"Hmm!" Leo nodded approvingly.

The procession proceeded slowly as it had yesterday, and after passing two forks in the road, the road was wider, and there were more pedestrians and carriages passing on the road, and it seemed that it should be very close to the town.

By noon, the convoy had seen the houses of the town ahead, so at the order of the old knight, they had quickened their pace, and when they reached the entrance to the town, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

With the appearance of this large town, it means that they have left the border area of Towcente and have begun to enter the core town area, which also means that the chance of encountering robbers on the road is very small.

The old knight, Capello, motioned for the team to rest outside the town, and the people in the team could go to the town to buy some things and wait until after noon to continue on the road.

Now that the town was able to meet Leo and Sylvia's needs for horses and weapons, and which count could be tasked with here, they didn't feel the need to continue with the caravan, so they left the caravan with some other ordinary travelers who had arrived at their destination.

Not long after Leo left, several men left the caravan, each on a fast horse, to deliver information about Leo and Sylvia to their respective forces.

This does not mean that Leo and Sylvia will be taken seriously, for the hidden civil agents, collecting information from strangers is just a routine, especially when the annual knights' conference and wine conference are about to be held, and the number of people from the north and south countries is innumerable, and the collection of this intelligence information has become a daily task, and this information will eventually accumulate with other intelligence, until one day when it can be used, it will be rediscovered. ，/7_7913/
