14 Uncles and knights
Kirin and Uncle turned back tremblingly, and a thin man was walking towards them from the corner of the street.
The man was dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, with a silver crown on his forehead, from the buttons of the collar to the folds of the sleeves, and the long sword worn at his waist, so that he looked like a knight in an ancient novel. Kirin noticed that this man had an unusually handsome appearance, and his demeanor was enough to make the girls on the road scream, but strangely, there was no sense of playboy frivolity from him, but rather a calm and majestic demeanor of a trained warrior.
When he was swept by those gray eyes, Qilin reflexively felt a sense of weakness, and when he looked to the side, the aristocratic uncle was also so nervous that his forehead was sweating.
"You're ......," the gray man's gaze crossed over to the statue behind them, and the two steaming water trails on the marble pedestal clearly illustrated the events that had just been born.
"I see. The gray man nodded thoughtfully, glanced at the two of them again, and announced the disposition in a faint voice. "Although it is not a big deal, two civilians who do not seem to be uneducated should do such an act of obstruction on the street, and the lower officials really can't sit idly by...... According to the ordinance of the city of Lingeil, anyone who urinates in a public place will be fined up to fifty dollars.
"Uh......" cold sweat broke out on Kirin's forehead. In all fairness, the gray man did not deliberately embarrass the two of them, fifty yuan is definitely not a big price, but for the wallet that Qilin has been in a state of "extreme poverty" since he came to the royal capital, it is an astronomical amount that is impossible to take.
(Hey, uncle, do you have any money?) Qilin quietly asked the noble uncle next to him for help.
(I didn't bring it...... The aristocratic uncle also looked at him with a sad face.
(I said, uncle, you are a nobleman, right?
(You don't know, little brother.) It's because I'm an aristocrat, so I don't have to go out with money, and I've always used credit to drink. )
(...... Then can you discuss with him, can this fine also be paid on credit?)
(Well, I don't think it's likely, but we can try something else...... )
The uncle who said this took a step forward with great momentum and blocked the Qilin very reliably.
"You...... You're a guard at the Sheriff's Office, aren't you......? I'm a nobleman! I'm a nobleman who serves in the court! I've just come back from dealing with state affairs today, and I also donated money when this statue was built, so ...... Uh, for the sake of these faces, can you let me and my little brother go?"
Although Uncle Beard tried very hard to put on a "domineering" posture, his bluffing tone and condescending content mercilessly exposed the fact that he usually neglected this. On the other hand, although Kirin has never had a good impression of the domineering magnates, in the current situation, he naturally stands on the side of Uncle Beard, and eagerly hopes that the gray man in front of him, who seems to be quite upright, will retreat from the difficulties - then again, human nature is sometimes such a complicated thing.
"Oh, did you just come back from taking care of state affairs? The gray man saluted the uncle, and the unicorn couldn't help but soothe his expression, but the gray man followed and changed his words.
"However, the lower officer is the gendarme of the heraldic court, not the eagle dog of the nobility. Your father's words and deeds just now are suspected of threatening public officials, so on the basis of the original charge, there is a charge of obstructing official business, and I am afraid that your father will have to spend the night in the prison cell of the Public Security Department tonight. The gray man who said this slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and showed the four-character inscription engraved on the sword body "Eradicate evil and eliminate traitors" in front of the two Qilin.
"The Sword of Law...... Damn, is it a real gendarme......" Uncle lamented unwillingly like a real evil party. "Bastard, I don't want to get caught here...... Hey, guys, stop him!"
The uncle gave an order behind the gray man, because his demeanor and tone were extremely realistic, so the gray man was also booed in an instant, and subconsciously looked back.
"Little brother, run now!" At the same time, the uncle pulled the unicorn and ran wildly.
........................
Literally, the "Heraldic Court" is supposed to be the body that oversees and deals with heraldry, but in fact, the power of the Heraldic Court is far beyond that. All nobles and officers with coats of arms, all pilots with titles, from the king of a country to the lord, all nobles and officers are the objects of the power exercised by the heraldic court.
The House of Arms is the supreme supervisory body of the Kingdom, independent of all administrative bodies, free from any influence of power, and exercising judgment solely in accordance with the law. In the eyes of the heraldic court, there was no distinction of status, and in the face of the sword of law held by the gendarmerie, the only criterion for judging was guilt or not. Therefore, for the nobles with great power, the heraldic court can be said to be a sword of Damocles hanging above their heads at any time, and when the heraldic court fully exercises its power, the political situation of the kingdom is often the most peaceful.
About two years ago, a certain dignitary of the heraldic institute passed away for some reason, and because the existence of that person was not trivial, the heraldic institute fell into a semi-paralyzed state after his departure. It was from that time that the Embrion family, represented by Conrad, began to run rampant in the royal capital, and with the chaotic state of the heraldic court at that time, there was no effective clamp on it. Although the gendarmerie is still trying to fulfill its mission, its effectiveness is limited in the absence of a core mentor.
As for the gray man they met today, he was a member of the gendarmerie directly under the Heraldic Academy. The gendarmerie has always been known for its strict law enforcement, and if he were caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“...... Only...... That's it, Ming ...... Do you understand?" the aristocratic uncle explained to Kirin as he gasped violently.
"Well, got it. Qilin nodded cautiously, and at the same time tried to cooperate with the uncle's degree. The basic body cultivated in martial arts cultivation played an important role at this time, even after half an hour of long-distance running and chasing, his breathing was still even and orderly, and the rhythm of his steps was not disturbed in the slightest, but the aristocratic uncle who was traveling with him seemed to have almost reached the limit.
"Uncle, do you want to rest for a while?" Qilin kindly said.
"I didn't ...... There's no time to ......" Uncle Beard's face flushed, but he still struggled to swing his feet. "We're ...... now But on the run!"
"Runaway......" Kirin felt a little crying and laughing. It's just a matter of urinating anywhere, and it's too exaggerated to say that it will end up being chased by the gendarmes and fleeing in the middle of the night. But looking back, compared to a domineering and vicious aristocrat like Conrad, Kirin still feels that the bearded uncle who is desperately "fleeing" in front of him is still a little more kind and cute.
"Stop me...... Do you want to add another charge of resisting arrest......" The gray man's shout came from the alleyway behind him, making the two of them tense up suddenly. It is said that every gendarme is an extremely good soldier, and now it seems that the rumor is not exaggerated, and the perseverance and endurance of being able to bite the two of them tightly for half an hour in a dark alley are really admirable-because of this, the thought of the consequences of falling into his hands makes a chill rise in the backs of the two men.
"Damn, there's no way ahead!" suddenly shouted the uncle.
"What, hey, just kidding!" the Kirin looked ahead and screamed.
I saw that at the end of the alley was a high embankment, and below the embankment was the slowly flowing Rhine River, there was no boat shadow on the river, and the walls on both sides of the alley also blocked the way for the two to turn, so it was only a matter of time before they were caught, and even if they turned around now, they would only collide with the pursuers. The two can be said to have been cornered.
"To ...... Is this the end of it......" The uncle stopped abruptly.
“...... No, not yet, not yet! Don't give up hope!"
"I have a way to cross the river! Uncle, you come to my back, and I will carry you over. ”
Saying this, Kirin squatted down in front of the uncle and motioned for him to climb on his back.
"But ......" Looking at the Rhine River forty or fifty meters wide in front of him, the uncle seemed a little hesitant.
At this time, as if urging the two of them, there was a sound of hurried and urgent footsteps from the alleyway behind.
"There's no time to hesitate! Uncle, give me your life!"
What is burning in the eyes of the unicorn is the passionate and scorching blood of a man!
As if moved by the enthusiasm of the unicorn, Uncle Beard resolutely decided to entrust his fate to the young man in front of him.
"Okay, little brother, with your words, uncle, I will give you this life!"
"Oooooooooooo
There was no room for answers. In the next moment, in a cry that even the soul could shake, the Kirin began to add violently with the bearded uncle on his back.
........................
A few seconds later, the gray man who rushed out of the alley stared blankly at the incredible scene on the surface of the river - the black young man, the bearded uncle on his back, riding the waves on the Rhine. The alternating legs at a very high frequency stirred up a violent wave on the surface of the river, and the reaction force of the huge wave offset the difference in weight and buoyancy between the two men, so that the young man could run on the surface of the river as if he were walking on the ground. The young man showed a stunt that was impossible to accomplish with the strength of a mortal, leaving the gray man dumbfounded.
", right? Can humans do this kind of thing......
The gray man looked blankly at the two people crossing the river, but after a moment, his tense face eased.
Following his gaze, he could see that after crossing most of the river, the young man's body seemed to have reached its limit. As the waves became smaller and smaller, the young man ran slower and slower, and the figures of the two also sank, and finally sounded a "poof".
"Ah, it's sunking......"
