Chapter 220: The Weakling's Partner

"As Lady Tila said, there is currently a large-scale riot taking place in the territory of the Senna family. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the dimly lit study, only the faint light of the fire on the table was shining, and Yulian crossed his hands and listened quietly to Charlotte's report.
"According to the information available so far, the mob numbered about 500 people, which was less than a tenth of the population of the territory, but the army of the Senna family had nothing to do with them. Originally, the Senna family led 5,000 troops stationed there, and in order to participate in the garrison of the Red Fortress, 4,000 people had been transferred. And the remaining 1,000 people can only keep the main city of the Senna family at present. ”
"Less than a tenth of the mob? It's surprising, who are they?"
"Most of them are vagrants, street hooligans and mercenaries. ”
"It's all a bunch of Luthers. ”
Yulian raised his eyebrows and sneered and mocked. Then he seemed to think of something, and asked.
"No merchants?"
"So far......... No, but the possibility of covert support is not ruled out. ”
"This is just a trivial matter, don't think about it, let's talk about something important, have you investigated the identity of those mages?"
"The results have been obtained, master. ”
Charlotte bowed slightly.
"These mages are members of the Mage Guild and are part of the Joint Enforcement Team. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Yu Lian's face, which had always been very calm, suddenly changed.
"Joint Enforcement Team? That's interesting......... The Mage Guild still has this structure?"
The so-called Joint Law Enforcement Team is a unit of the Mage Guild a long time ago, and their existence is very similar to the Knights of Grace of the Church of Grace, whose purpose is to protect the interests of the Mage Guild itself.
It's just that the interests of the Church of Holy Grace are too different from those of the Mage Association. After all, the Church of Grace has doctrines, so what the Knights of Grace can do, everyone sees in their eyes and cares. But the Mage Guild is different, their main goal is to study Mana, and for this goal, the mages have no moral obstacles, they don't care about face like the Church of Grace, after all, the Church of Grace lives on face, and the Mage Guild relies on the mastery of Mana.
In this way, the "interests" of the Mage Association are very different. It is in the interest of the Mage Guild to protect the safety of mages, and it is also in the interest of the Mage Guild to ensure that it is not threatened. In fact, a long time ago, the task of hunting down the bearers of the Illusory Surname was accomplished by the Joint Enforcement Team of the Mage Guild.
In a way, the combined law enforcement team's last name is somewhat similar to that of the Knights of the End, and they are both notorious and unmistakable. However, when this joint law enforcement team pursued a fugitive a long time ago, it destroyed the royal city of a kingdom to the west because of the big movement, and after that, the Mage Association was criticized and warned by many countries on the mainland, and their old enemy, the Church of Holy Grace, took the opportunity to fall into the ground. So in the end, the Mage Guild had to make a concession and disband the group, promising that it would never appear in the world again.
And now, they actually appeared?
"What is the name of the Joint Enforcement Team?"
"No, master, they call themselves the Wizard Knights, but their surnames are exactly the same as those of the Joint Enforcement Team, so it seems to me that this is just a change of name. ”
"It's the Knights again, and it seems that the current knights are really valuable. ”
Yuren said with an unchanging smile, and then he thought for a moment, then stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the table.
"Master Dades, please come to my room. ”
"Yes, master. ”
Charlotte's execution was always fast, and before Julien could finish the cup of black tea in front of him, there was a knock on the door, and then, Dades walked into the room, he first performed a mage salute to Julien, and then sat down on the soft chair in front of the table, and asked curiously.
"Hello, Mr. Yulian, it's so late, may I ask you for something about me?"
"It's not a big deal. ”
In the face of Dades's inquiry, Yulian first crossed his hands, leaned back in his chair, and stared at the old mage in front of him. Then, he spoke slowly.
"Speaking of which, times have really changed. ”
"Huh?"
"There are some things that we always thought were history, but we didn't expect them to appear. That's a surprising thing, right?
"This ...... Indeed, as you say, Mr. Euren. ”
Although Dades still didn't understand what Yulian was alluding to, his expression had already calmed down, after all, he was one of the twelve star mages, and he had seen a lot of winds and waves, although it was not clear what Yulian wanted to do by calling himself here inexplicably and saying these strange words, but for him, no matter what, it was necessary to calm down first. However, Yu Lian's next sentence made the twelve-star mage change his complexion.
"I didn't expect that the joint law enforcement team would be able to reappear, it seems that the Mage Association has also learned some interesting things. ”
"Lord-sama Yuren, you ............"
"Wizard Knights. ”
Yulian's right hand, which had been placed on the table, was slightly erected, interrupting Dades's speech.
"Speaking of which, I'm really nostalgic, we've fought alongside the Joint Law Enforcement Team before, so I wonder what kind of power the Wizard Knights will have now who have inherited this name?"
“..................”
Hearing this, Dades fell silent, and he looked at the smiling young man in front of him, thinking about what to say. After a few moments, Dades finally smiled wryly.
"What a Knights of the End. ”
"It doesn't do me any good if you praise me like that, in fact, I'm not at all interested in what your Mage Guild is thinking, it's just that you came to the door on your own this time. ”
“............ Excuse me, what do you mean by that?"
Hearing this, Dades was a little surprised. He originally thought that Yuren had specifically investigated the Mage Guild and only then learned that the Wizard Knights were a joint law enforcement team. But looking at Yulian's statement, it seems that this is not his own investigation, but the other party took the initiative to send it to the door? How is this possible? The Wizard Knights should not do such a stupid thing.
"Today, I got an interesting piece of information. ”
Yuren didn't say any more, he just gestured to the information spread out on the table in front of him. And Dydes was not polite, he just said "rude", and then picked up the information on the table and quickly flipped through it. As he flipped through the pages, Dades's complexion gradually changed, although on the whole, he was still calm. But in his eyes, there was no obvious doubt and anger.
"It's just too much. ”
Eventually, Dades said this, and at the same time he put down the information in his hand and looked at Yuren solemnly.
"Mr. Yuren, I think I can explain this........."
"Say, I'm listening. ”
Subsequently, under the explanation of Dades, Yuren finally learned about the joint law enforcement team.
It turns out that the Mage Guild has been working to excavate the knowledge and relics of the past and restore the glory of the past. This is a very difficult thing for the Mage Guild to do. Because in the White Rose Incident a long time ago, the battle between the two major factions of the Mage Guild has reduced a considerable amount of information, information, and ancient and valuable knowledge to ashes. It was arguably the largest civil war in the history of the Mage Guild, with almost all the mages on the continent joining it. And at this moment, their sworn enemy, the Church of Holy Grace, also took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on the Mage Association. This situation lasted four years, and tens of thousands of mages died as a result, and just as the Mage Guild fell apart, the saviors that the mages had been hoping for finally appeared, reunited the Mage Guild, and led the mages to resist the attack of the Church of Holy Grace, and finally ended the civil war.
Since then, the Mage's Guild has set itself the goal of reclaiming the knowledge of the past and recreating it once again. And it is precisely this task that the Twelve Star Mages are tasked with.
According to the rules of the head of the association, the twelve star mages, each of them is in charge of one of the revival plans of the mage association. The Joint Enforcement Team is also a product of this plan. As the most powerful and representative armed force of the Mage Guild, the Mage Guild was of course unwilling to give up this powerful force, so after a makeover, it was named the Wizard Knights and raised it again.
"The twelve-star mage Farian in charge of this plan, her current status is the chairman and executor of the trial investigation committee, and according to the rules of the association, no one can mobilize the Wizard Knights except her, not even the head of the association. ”
Saying this, Dades finally frowned.
However, I didn't expect that she would do such a thing. ”
Saying this, Dades raised his head, he had already vaguely grasped Yuren's attitude and the reason for calling himself.
"Mr. Yuren, what are you going to do?"
"I'd like to hear from you first, Master Dades. ”
You Lianwei raised his right hand.
"After all, you're the mage of the Mage Guild, not me. ”
“............ Despite what you say, I am only one of the 12-star mages after all, and I have no power to hinder the actions of my colleagues, and the only thing I can do is report to the Mage Guild, and they will investigate, vote, and then decide what to do. ”
"Sure enough, it fits the style of the Mage Guild, as casual as ever. ”
“...............”
In the face of Yulian's taunt, Dades smiled awkwardly, but was very clever and did not answer.
"So, what are you going to do, Lord Yuren?"
"My plans?"
Hearing this, Yulian coughed lightly, and then, he once again showed an elegant and confident smile.
"Do you really want to know?
Looking at the smile of the young lord in front of him, Dades suddenly felt that he seemed to have made a rather wrong choice for no reason.
But unfortunately, at the moment, he has no other choice.
"I have decided to accept your commission, beautiful lady. ”
Yulian raised the soft white right hand of the lady in front of him, lowered his head, and gently kissed the back of her hand.
"We have always been on the side of the weak, against the strong, this is our will, we are fighting for the world to become a better place. Well, there is no reason for us to refuse your request. Beautiful lady. I promise you that the Knights of the Last Word will help you to banish the brutal and hateful evildoers and return you to a peaceful and beautiful life. ”
"It's a ............"
Looking at Yuren, Lady Tila reached out in disbelief and covered her mouth. In fact, she didn't have much hope for the success of her trip. After all, he was only a small family, and many nobles who were more powerful than him were not able to get the help of the Knights of the End. However, her family has indeed reached a critical juncture now, and no matter what the means, they must try. The so-called do your best, know the destiny of heaven. And now, the other party actually agreed to her request, which made Mrs. Tila feel a sense of joy falling from the sky.
"I'm sorry, Lady Yuren. ”
It wasn't until Julien stood up straight again that Lady Tila returned to her usual noble and elegant posture, bowed her head deeply, and saluted Julien. "I'm so excited, I didn't expect that I could actually ask for the help of the Knights of the End. As she spoke, Lady Tila gave O'Faryl a grateful look as she stood nearby. Obviously, in the eyes of this lady, there is no communication between herself and Yulian, and there is no special possible surname. And the only point of intersection between them is to know Ofariel. Judging from the current situation, the reason why Yulian agreed to his request is probably because of Offariel's intercession in it.
In the face of Lady Tira's gratitude, Ofariel smiled back with a soft and calm smile, but at the moment her heart was low and bitter, since Yuren told her about the style of the Knights of the Last yesterday, she had already guessed that there was a good chance that Yuren would take the commission, but she would do it now......... I really don't know what Yuren is thinking, is it really just because it's funny?
"Then, I will immediately convey it to the family............ And ........."
"Lady Tira, you don't need to be so anxious, I have my conditions too. ”
“......... Speak, sir. ”
Lady Tila blushed slightly at the sound of Yuren's voice, and then lowered her head, she was so excited. Completely forgetting that this is a transaction, and as a transaction, there are naturally conditions to be exchanged.
"First of all, I want you to keep it a secret from outsiders, I don't want anyone but you to know who we are, after all, we are only here to help as you ask, and we don't want to dwell on boring things. If anything goes wrong, then the agreement between us will be terminated immediately, can you do that?"
"Of course there is no problem, Lord Yuren. ”
Lady Tila did not hesitate and quickly agreed to this condition of Yuren. After all, the Senna family's territory is a small territory, and it is not far from here, although it does not directly border the Twilight Forest, but it is not easy to be affected by the Sith Empire, so at the beginning, the Senna family did not want to participate in this competition. And Yuren's performance now is obvious, he doesn't want people to associate this matter with the Knights of the End. It's a shame for Lady Tira, but that's all it has to say for now.
"Secondly, I need to tell you that we can't send too many people, so this time, we're only going to have four people to deal with this. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Lady Tila was slightly surprised, and her eyes widened in curiosity and looked at Yuren in disbelief.
"Yuren-sama, you mean, you only need to dispatch four people, and you can ........."
"Please believe in the strength of the Knights of the End, this is not a difficult thing for us. ”
With this, Yulian made a gesture, smiled and bowed back.
"Then, beautiful lady, you can go and prepare now, and we will leave early tomorrow morning, no problem. ”
"Of course, there is no problem, honorable Lord Yuren, I will prepare now, please rest assured, I will definitely do what you propose. ”
Lady Tila didn't say anything in the face of Yuren's performance, she just lifted the hem of her skirt, saluted respectfully, and then left in a hurry. It wasn't until after she had left that Julien looked up, shrugged his shoulders, and then looked at Ofariel, who was standing beside him, looking at him angrily.
"I'd love to say that, as the lord of the Twilight Forest, Lord Yuren should pay more attention to what's going on around you. But .........," O'Faryl sighed helplessly. "But I'm your lieutenant after all, so the only thing I can say right now is that I ask you to get this done quickly, and I'll make sure that the Twilight Forest doesn't have any problems in the meantime. ”
"No, there is no need for that. ”
However, Julien's answer was completely unexpected by Ofariel.
"There's no need for you to stay here, in fact, you're going to come with me this time. This time our opponent is a mage, and it's just the time to show your strength. And, I guess you're going to need a little bit more hands-on experience, so it's a good opportunity. ”
"By me?"
Offariel looked at Yuren in surprise, as if she hadn't figured out what he was talking about.
"So, what about the Twilight Forest?"
"Charlotte will take care of it. Judy will stay too, and only you, me, and Messiah and Semiya will go. However, don't expect them to help you, this time, they are your teachers, and they are here to see if your strength is enough to graduate, so you have to work harder and harder, understand?"
“............ I understand. ”
Although Ofaril wanted to say something, in the end, she sighed helplessly, and then glared at Yuren.
"Well, then, I'll get ready now, Lord Yuren. ”
"You do things, I don't worry. ”
As for Ofariel's complaints, Yulian has already been at ease.
"You've quarreled with Miss O'Faryl again, master. ”
It wasn't until O'Faryl left the room and Charlotte, who had been standing quietly in the corner, that she replied with a smile.
"It's just a kind of entertainment in ordinary life, and you shouldn't deprive me of this little pleasure. ”
"As your master's servant, of course I wouldn't do that. ”
"That's good. ”
Saying this, Yulian snapped his fingers, and then, he looked at Charlotte with a serious face.
"Also, is the report on the family investigation of Lady Tira true?"
"Yes, I'm very sorry, master, this lady has no heirs yet, and ...... Her husband also died just two months ago. ”
"It's a shame. ”
"It's a pity, I thought you'd be glad master, but this is a good opportunity, huh?"
"You won't understand, Charlotte. ”
Facing the little maid's curious inquiry, Yulian shrugged his shoulders and said very seriously.
"The more something belongs to someone else, the more valuable it is to take it, and this is a war, a war of conquest and defeat. It's a pity, this battle, only the goal of conquering, and not the opponent to defeat, is really a pity. ”
"I don't know why, but I always feel that you seem to be very serious in a strange place, master. ”
"I'm a philanthropist, and I'm always serious. ”
