Not long after Surdak walked out of the sword hall, a piercing scream came from the practice room where he was......

"Ah...... Who broke my wooden man! ”

Darcy. Christie had a gloomy face, walked quickly to the front desk angrily, and asked the female administrator at the front desk who was using her practice room, the female administrator opened the register full of names, with a bitter face, she couldn't remember who was using the seventh practice room, the sword hall was usually alone on weekends, although there were few people in the sword hall on weekends, but she still couldn't take care of it.

"Darcy, don't be angry, I'll be sure to help you find that troublemaker next week, and if he dares to come, you should enjoy some weekends now." Female Administrator vs. Darcy. Christie said that she thought that some restless midshipman in the academy must have secretly broken it, otherwise the practice wooden figures were made of the strongest hardwood, how could they break so easily.

"It's so hateful, I've changed my practice wooden figure three times this month."

“……”

The female administrator looked at Darcy with sympathy. Christie, fortunately, it's Miss Darcy, if she changes the teaching aids three times a month, I'm afraid that the stingy director of the logistics department will definitely not give her a good face, but Miss Darcy is in the relationship of the dean, and that miser shouldn't say too ugly things.

Darcy didn't get the result he wanted, and left the sword hall with a look of resentment.

The sycamore leaves on the sidewalk were falling one after another, and Darcy wrapped her knitted shawl around her bare shoulders.

She clasped her hands around her chest and walked towards the gate of the academy step by step.

Delicate dancing shoes walk on the stone pavement, making a series of crisp sounds.

The young knights who saw her around would take the initiative to greet her and call her, "Miss Darcy!" ”

The afterglow of the setting sun made the red-foliage forest road and the sunset shine, and as she walked, she remembered life at the Bena Provincial High Swordsman Academy.

At that time, the relationship between everyone was still very good, and her family was the most famous nobleman in the city of Highlandsa, and it was easy to join the circle of high society when she came to the Bednar Swordsman Academy, and she made many friends because of this.

Hathaway was a friend she met when she first started school.

If it weren't for the appearance of Senior Cole Norton, maybe the two would still be best friends who talk about everything.

Darcy pouted, no wonder the instructors in the academy often said that the battlefield was a touchstone, and thought that the Norton senior, who was highly regarded in the swordsman academy, would be so good, but once he went to the Warsaw plane, in addition to the various unbearable things he showed, he also formed an indissoluble enmity with his former best friend Hathaway, of course, the first thing that comes to mind is to protect himself, in the face of a strong and fierce demon, how stupid is it to know that he is invincible, but still stand up to fight? You Hathaway can do it, it doesn't mean that I'm Darcy. Christie had to do the same.

Returning from the Warsaw plane to the Bednar Academy of Advanced Swordsmen, Hathaway and Beatrice became the heroes of this class of swordsmen, after all, the sword broke out of the war zone surrounded by evil spirits, and such a story could easily make the young swordsmen in those academies enthusiastic.

What is this, this is a complete moral kidnapping, you Hathaway and Beatrice want to fight the demons, you don't need to take me with you! I just want to survive the battlefield, what's wrong with that? Darcy felt a little aggrieved in her heart, it was like a stain on her life, and the reason why she left Pena City was because she didn't want to be pointed at at the ball.

It was all the fault of the Baron Sidney who was lying in the grave, and if he hadn't sent a guardian knight running over, maybe the matter would have ended in a completely different way. Darcy clutched a knitted wool shawl in one hand and tugged at the hem of the skirt with the other, the cold wind fading the blush on her face, and she still felt a little indignant in her heart.

Walking to the gate of the academy, a gorgeous magic caravan was waiting on the side of the road, and an attendant stood outside the carriage for Darcy. Christie comes to open the door, Darcy. Christie stopped a second before stepping into the carriage, turned to the squire, and said, "Is there any news from the knight you asked about the other day?" ”

The squire hurriedly said, "Miss Darcy, it seems that he only stayed in the city of Highlandsa for a short time, and then left quickly, and has not been able to find any news about the knight so far. ”

Darcy. Christie raised her delicate eyebrows and said coldly: "Since it is a knight under Sidney, it must be a Hylanza, follow this clue to check again." ”

"Yes, Miss Darcy!" The squire replied immediately.

Darcy. Christie boarded the caravan, the attendant closed the door, and the caravan slowly merged into the traffic on the street.

……

The magic caravan Darcy was in had just turned at the intersection.

Surdak was standing right next to the streetlamp, Darcy. Christie's magic caravan passed by.

He looked at a magic caravan parked on the side of the street, and wondered if he should rent a carriage to go to the appointment, and when he met Carl in the evening, he was destined to drink a little beer or golden cider, and he didn't want to fall off the horse.

The city of Highlanza isn't huge, but it's at least an hour's walk from the Knights' Academy to the Garden Square.

In the end, Surdak still took a carriage to the appointment, and when he saw Carl, this guy sat in a carriage at the door of the tavern, and directly pulled Surdak who got off the car in, and directly pulled Surdak to a richly decorated opera house opposite the town hall square, Carl took out two tickets and handed them to the waiter at the door, and then took Surdak into this magnificent grand opera house.

Walking into the hall on the first floor of the Grand Opera House, Surdak saw that there were already many nobles in dresses waiting in the hall, and Karl and Surdak could only stand in the corner, slowly queuing up for admission.

Surdak leaned into Karl's ear and asked him in a low voice, "If you want to listen to the opera, shouldn't you ask Mrs. Christie with you, why did you find me?" I don't understand this thing, recently in the academy, those imperial histories are going to blow my head up! ”

Karl stood at the mouth of the turnaround staircase, looked back with a smug face, and said to Surdak with a smile: "Who said I didn't have an appointment, she was waiting for us inside...... Hurry up, do you need me to find you a female companion? ”

Surdak was also speechless for a while, unable to understand why Karl insisted on letting himself listen to such an opera, which was a high-class life that only nobles could know how to enjoy, while Surdak had time, and would rather have a drink in the bar and see the wine girls who could hold silver coins in their chest grooves.

Now that the ticket had been paid, Surdak didn't say anything more and followed Carl up to the second floor.

It is said that tickets in the opera house are notoriously expensive, and a ticket here costs at least a dozen silver coins, such as the private room on the second floor.

Hearing Karl patting his chest and trying to help him find a female companion, Surdak hurriedly refused, saying, "Forget it, I don't want to meet a second Miss Brenda again." ”

Karl smiled disdainfully and said, "Brenda is young and beautiful, isn't she?" It's likely that she's not your favorite type, otherwise you'd care about Llewellyn? ”

Surdak followed Karl through an inner corridor and into a private room on the second floor of the opera house, where Mrs. Christie and her maid had been waiting early, and when Karl entered, they complained that he was late, and did not forget to greet Surdak politely.

Carl didn't care about Surdak beside him, gave Mrs. Christie a big hug, and then whispered a few words of explanation in her ear, Mrs. Christie herself was not angry, and was amused by Carl's few whispers.

Seeing that the terrace in front of him was set up with leather chairs, Surdak walked to the semi-circular terrace in front of the private room with great eyes, and he carefully looked at the luxurious decoration of the opera house's interior, this private room is a little to the left, the stage of the theater is just below right, and it is very condescending to watch the opera, and Surdak can also see a part of the audience in the hall on the first floor.

At this time, it was time to enter the hall, and the hall on the first floor was filled with aristocrats waiting to enjoy the opera, and the stage in front was obscured by two ornate velvet curtains.

Before the opera began, Karl got rid of Mrs. Christie, leaned over to Surdak and put his arm around his shoulder, and with a smile on his face, he pointed to a nobleman in the front row of the hall on the first floor, who was dressed in a gown and had meticulously combed his hair, and who was constantly greeting the others, and said: "He is Baron Grenfell, he likes to come here after a drink, and then come here to listen to the opera, he is very modest when he communicates with people, and he is also very generous when he gives tips, and he is very popular with the waiters here, so don't inquire about him here, It is very likely that as soon as you walk on the front foot, someone will sell you for a good price on the back foot. ”

Surdak didn't expect Karl to take him to the opera, he actually took him to see Baron Grenfell, looking down in the box on the second floor, he only felt that Baron Grenfell's hairline was a little back, but his eyes were very bright, and his skin was a little too pale, like the effect of erosive and extravagant life and alcohol, he had an innate decadent atmosphere, and his eyes were arrogant, which was very noble.

Surdak withdrew his gaze, fearing that staring at Baron Grenfell for too long would make him feel alarmed.

"Looks young,......" Surdak judged, and then asked, "By the way, did you find a clue?" ”

Obviously, Karl found some clues, so he found an opportunity to ask Surdak to come over and take a look at Baron Grenfell,

Karl put his arm around Surdak's shoulders and returned from the terrace, and under the burning gaze of Mrs. Christie, he sat on the sofa and drank a glass of golden cider, and then said unhurriedly: "In order to investigate the true identity of the Scarlet Knight, I sent my men to guard outside Baron Grenfell's manor for two weeks, although I couldn't wait for the Scarlet Knight, I found another very strange thing, Baron Grenfell's manor has a special carriage to deliver wheat flour, meat and vegetables and forage every week, My men made a rough estimate that the food and forage consumed was about two hundred servings. ”

"You don't think there are so many people on this manor of his?"

Surdak didn't expect Karl to send someone to squat outside Baron Grenfell's estate, apparently the clever subordinate smelled something unusual.

Carl glanced at Mrs. Christie beside him, and the other person immediately smiled softly back.

Carr continued: "In order to ascertain the number of maids, servants and farmers in his estate, I asked Mrs. Christie to visit the mistress of the manor, and found out that in Baron Grenfell's manor, there were never more than seventy squires and farmers combined. ”

Surdak's eyes lit up and he asked, "So what?" ”

"I can make a bold assumption that it doesn't matter if you hoard some food, fresh meat, vegetables, and forage, so I guess there is probably a group of people hiding in that manor, and a group of people who can't see the light." Karl said arbitrarily, with a frenzy in his eyes that was eager to reveal the truth.

He paused for a moment, then added, "But this alone is not enough to search Baron Greenfell's private estate, and there must be some more conclusive evidence before I can report this to the above." ”

"Did you bring me here just so that I could see Baron Grenfell from afar and then tell me this?" Surdak glanced at the luxurious box and said with some exaggeration: "In that case, I think we can wait for him in the carriage opposite the opera house, and we don't have to come here." ”

Karl personally poured him another glass of golden cider, looked at Mrs. Christie, and said with a smile: "Surdak, you have been in the city of Hylanza for so long, you also have to learn to enjoy the aristocratic life properly, hey! You really don't need me to help you find a female partner? ”

Mrs. Christie on the side also hurriedly promised: "I promise that I will definitely not look for such a noble lady with such a personality this time, there are many good girls I know." ”

Surdak hurriedly raised his hand to surrender, begging for mercy again and again: "Please! Don't talk about it again! ”

Karl sat up straight and said to Surdak: "Another thing I want to say, the Scarlet Knight seems to have really disappeared, no one knows where he went, and the explanation given by Baron Greenfield is that the Scarlet Knight is out for training, and the return date is undecided!" ”

At this time, there was a melodious sound of music on the stage, and the originally chaotic opera hall suddenly became quiet, and the nobles who were still talking eagerly stopped invariably.

The prologue of an opera began, and Carr and Mrs. Christie were tired of being together, ignoring Surdak's feelings.

A melodious singing sounded, and the voice was like a clear spring pouring into Surdak's heart, and he lost his mind......
