Surdak took the opportunity to reach out and straighten his cuffs, and quietly pulled it back from the tall girl's hand. He didn't want to be caught between the two of them and be kicked around like a ball. He originally wanted to find a tavern and sit down with Carl for a drink, but he didn't expect to be brought by Carl to the noble ball.

The tall girl, with a faint fragrance, reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table. Taking advantage of the fact that others were not noticing her, she glared at Surdak with a hint of disdain in her eyes, she had already included Surdak in the list of darless knights.

It was the first time Surdak had heard Carl talk about himself, he knew that Karl was the captain of the support team of the Hylanza Guard Battalion, but he had never heard him talk about these troubles, and he thought that he had only met Carl twice, and he only felt that although he was unkempt in appearance and looked like a swinger, he was a rare friend.

Surdak couldn't help but interject next to him and asked, "Isn't the city of Highlandsa not peaceful lately?" ”

In his opinion, since the army of the Grimm Empire can expedition to other planes, the bandits in the country should have been swept away long ago.

Karl explained with a wry smile: "In fact, in recent years, the bandit gangs in the province of Bena have not stopped at all. ”

The two waiters brought a plate of fruit and a plate of nuts to this side and placed them on the round table, and it seemed that the ball held by Viscount Emmett was quite thoughtful.

Waiting for the two attendants to leave, Karl continued:

"Four years ago, Archduke Newman took the main force of the Bednar Legion, and transferred nearly 100 heavy infantry regiments and heavy cavalry regiments from various areas of the province of Bednar into the Warsaw plane, resulting in the emptiness of the rear forces in the province of Bednar, and several bandit gangs that were exterminated before are now resurrected, and now a bandit regiment has wandered to the vicinity of the city of Highlandza, and has recently committed three major crimes in the suburbs of Highlandza."

Surdak and Llewellyn looked surprised, they didn't expect the situation around Highlandsa City to be so tense.

Then Carl showed a helpless face and said: "In the morning, I was still being trained in front of Lord Christie in the city hall, and I have not been very lucky recently, I have lost the clues in several tracks, and the search net laid down has never caught any big fish. ”

The young lady also showed a concerned expression and asked Karl, "So what are you going to do next?" ”

Karl scratched his hair vigorously and said, "I plan to go out of the city tomorrow morning to join my subordinates and take people around the Ralph Territory." ”

Surdak said apologetically to Karl, "I'm sorry, Karl, for delaying your trip for my business. ”

"Actually, there is no news of the bandit gang now, no matter where you are, you are waiting for news." Karl said to Surdak, and then he glanced at Viscount Emmett, who was standing in the middle of a group of nobles, and said, "And I came to this ball in the hope of seconding some men to Viscount Emmett." ”

Llewellyn's attention was also attracted by this incident, and he said to Karl: "Wait a minute, let's go to Jonah and Brooke together, and ask them to recruit some men as well, I believe that this group of thieves will not disappear for no reason, and there will always be a trace of clues somewhere, and now we can't find it, maybe there are not enough people." ”

When the tall girl heard Llewellyn say these words, she looked at him with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, and even her eyes brightened a lot.

Surdak sat aside and said to Karl: "I'm going back to Vol Village tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to help here, if the search party gets to the Vol Village area, remember to send someone to inform me, I am more familiar with that area than you, maybe I can help!" ”

Llewellyn glanced at Surdak in surprise, but he didn't expect that he didn't say that he wanted to stay and help.

The tall girl next to her glanced at Surdak with disdain, and when she heard Surdak's reluctance to help, she was even more convinced of the title of Courageless Knight, and the tall girl quietly moved her body outwards to keep herself away from him.

Even the young woman sitting next to Carl glanced at Surdak in surprise with a look of disappointment.

Karl leaned back in his chair as usual, and said to Surdak with a smile: "Now that bandit group is operating in the dense forests around the southern suburbs, I don't want to take my men into that barren land where there is nothing. ”

The dance party held at the manor lasted until midnight.

Viscount Emmett took the time to chat with Karl for a while, and after hearing Karl's request, he agreed after a moment of serious thought.

The viscount thought that the top priority was to find out the whereabouts of this bandit group, and only by finding the traces of the bandit group could the knights and knights in the city be mobilized to go out of the city to round up the bandit group.

Viscount Emmett's estate was located in the aristocratic district of the city of Highlandsa, and the residences of Karl and Llewellyn were very close to it, except for the hotel where Surdak lived in the center of the city, and Surdak had to cross three main streets to the main street, and had to walk a long way down.

Even on horseback it would take a long time to walk, so Surdak left first.

At the gate of the manor, watching Surdak ride a horse and disappear into the night, Llewellyn asked Karl with some puzzlement: "Karl, how did you make such a timid and fearful knight friend?" ”

Karl shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and said to Llewellyn very firmly: "You may not know what the battle of Moyunling on the Warsaw plane was like, the knight who can walk back from the front line alive will definitely not be as weak as you see, I don't see any fear in his eyes." ”

The young lady standing next to Carl took Carl's arm and said hesitantly, "I hope you're right, but he's so timid, what can he do to help you in the future?" ”

"Maybe he chose to leave, something really happened...... Carl looked unconcerned.

The tall girl clung to Llewellyn, and stood behind him with Llewellyn's other female companion, one left and one right, and whispered, "It's clearly a coward." ”

Karl gave the tall girl a faint look and didn't say anything.

The young lady beside Carl was slightly red and a little drunk, and she took Carl's arm with silky eyes and whispered in his ear, "Wait a minute...... Would you like to go to my place for some cookies? ”

"Forehead ......"

Karl hesitated, thinking that he would have to go with Llewellyn to see Jonah and Brooke later, and he didn't know what time it would be over, so he didn't know how dawn would be.

The young lady squeezed into Karl's arms without hesitation, and whispered, "But tomorrow you will be gone, and I am afraid that I will not see you for a while." ”

……

Surdak really had something to deal with, and the iron pieces he bought in the city of Highlanza were transported to Vol Village, and he had to come forward to receive them.

Seeing that the rainy season is about to pass, if the reservoir is not repaired, the drinking water in the village will become a big problem after the dry season, so I can only say sorry to Carl.

Anyway, looking for the traces of the thieves may not be of much help......
