Now Russell was following the Knights of the Cathar towards the location of the royal capital, and the group had been away from Serra for a week, and the hot and dry weather was gradually subsiding.

Today, as usual, the team continued to rush towards the royal capital according to the plan, and the caravans and pedestrians on the road saw the banner of the cathar knights, and hurriedly made way for the knights to pass first, so Russell and their speed was not slow.

At this time, Russell and Knight Captain Buna were running at the front of the team on their horses and buns, and the life of the hurried road was really boring, and the two had to talk non-stop to relieve the boredom along the way.

Knight Captain Buna smiled helplessly when he saw the travelers making way for them,

"The Guardian Knights of the Church of the Goddess of Grains have always had a good reputation in the kingdom, and we have never done anything wrong with the rules of the Knights, but these civilians still can't help but be afraid when they see our team. ”

Russell replied with a smile: "This situation is very easy to explain, knight chief, you are all noble knights, and you are also nobles with knighthood, and passers-by are just commoners with no status, do you still expect them to talk freely with you?"

"That's right!" Buna smiled and said, "I have indeed seen a lot of nobles who bully men and women, and I will beat them up every time regardless of the consequences, but because of the laws of the kingdom, I can't kill these nobles who do a lot of evil, as long as this kind of evil nobles still exist in this kingdom, we cathar knights are still regarded by the commoners of the kingdom as those who are the same as the evil-doers nobles!"

Buna shook his head and proposed, "Let's not talk about this heavy topic, this world is not something we can change.

By the way, Russell, is there any trust in the selection of the Guardian Knight you just told me?"

Russell fumbled around for a long time, threw Viscount Albert's letter of introduction to Buna, who took the letter of introduction very easily, he picked up the letter and looked at it, looked at the badge on it to verify the authenticity of the letter.

It's just that Bunner still can't open the letter of introduction and read the contents of the letter, because Bunner's authority is not enough for him to browse the letter of introduction, and this kind of work must be confirmed by the bishop at least, and if he opens the envelope, it will be an overstep.

Buna threw the letter of introduction back into Russell's hand, and he sighed a little surprised: "I didn't expect you kid to really get the letter of introduction from Viscount Albert's family! ”

Russell smiled and didn't say much, but it involved his agreement with Viscount Albert, and it would be bad if Bunner knew about it, and he thought it would be better to change the subject.

"Buna, I heard Sister Marlene say that as long as I have this letter of introduction, can I participate in the selection of the Church's Guardian at any time?" Russell asked suddenly.

Bunamo rubbed the beard that had already appeared from his chin and said, "What do you want me to say? The selection of apologetic knights in the church is not strictly uniform, and the selection rules are determined by the opinions and tendencies of the chief examiner, but most of the selections still determine your final belonging based on your combat effectiveness and morality. ”

"This selection process doesn't sound like a lot of hard work!"

Buna heard Russell despise the selection of the apologetic knights in this way, and hurriedly spoke to dispel Russell's thoughts,

"Don't underestimate the strictness of the selection, it's not that you have a letter of introduction from the nobles to become a knight aphar, as far as I know, the chance of passing the selection is only one in ten, and this is still the result of the examiner's pleasing to your eyes.

You must know that when I participated in the selection that year, I almost failed the selection, but it was the examiner at that time, Bishop Vain, who thought that my physical fitness was good, so he relaxed his requirements and let me pass the selection of the apologists and knights!"

Bishop Vane? Russell suddenly heard a somewhat familiar name, wasn't this the Metropolitan Bishop who had discussed with Sister Marlene a few days ago about Betty's whereabouts? I didn't expect to hear his story here in Buna, and it seems that Bishop Vane is also a benefactor of Buna.

Buna suddenly opened up the conversation and began to recall the past many years ago, and finally had a person to tell a story, so Buna went on to tell Russell about the glorious deeds of his youth.

Russell has long been accustomed to Buner's words in the past few days, and as a listener, he patiently listens to Buhner talk about the past, and he can also learn a lot from Buna's words, so Russell has no complaints about this, and he can also use this to consume time.

The knights' team did not find a meadow until noon and began to camp for a while, which was also a rare time of the day for Russell to be alone.

Russell sat in the shade of a cool tree in the distance, he looked around, no one was staying near him, so Russell took the opportunity to observe the recent changes in the legacy of Hero.

Russell gently drew his sword from its scabbard, and then the sunlight came to observe the blade of the Heroic Relic, the rust on the body of the Heroic Relic had been falling since he set out.

Although there is not too much rust that falls every day, the past style of Yingjie's legacy is gradually revealed in front of Russell.

The light emitted by the reflection of sunlight on the sword body is very dazzling, Russell can clearly see the lines on the sword body, as well as the blade that emits cold light, this is indeed a rare sword.

However, Russell was still a little skeptical about the opening of the sword, although the farmer who sold the sword swore that the sword was a weapon once held by the brave, but Russell still had some doubts about it.

After all, Sister Marlene told him that the sword of the true brave man is still stuck in the mountain, unless there is only one possibility, that is, as the farmer said about the family rumor, this sword is the sword used by the brave man, but later the brave changed his weapon for unknown reasons, this should be the only explanation.

Russell thought of this and blocked the sapphire on the sword grid in the center of himself and the sun, and the sunlight passed through the clear sapphire, revealing everything inside the gem in front of Russell's eyes.

Sure enough, as Russell expected, there was still a purple mist floating in this sapphire, but as the rust on the sword body continued to fall, this mist also became much smaller, and Russell guessed based on this situation that this mist would disappear at the same time when the rust completely fell.

Just as Russell was concentrating on studying the sapphire, Betty's kind voice came from beside him, "Brother Russell, you are observing your sword again, where is there anything to look at?"

Russell put down the legacy of Heroism and looked back, and sure enough, Betty was standing behind him, leaning over to look at the sapphire with him.

"Is your fever better? Now that your body has just recovered, you should rest well in the carriage!"

Russell reached out and touched Betty's forehead, feeling that Betty's body was not hot and relieved.

Betty smiled when she heard this: "My body is very healthy, I just accidentally caught a cold before, you see I'm not very energetic now, right?"

"Don't be too arrogant, if you have a fever again, I won't take care of you all night!"

Russell put down his hand to test Betty's temperature and said helplessly.

It turned out that after the group left the town, Betty had a fever because of the water and soil and too sad, which was very busy Russell and Knight Captain Buna, but Buna wanted Betty to deliver Betty safely to the royal capital, but he couldn't let Betty get seriously ill.

Fortunately, the Church had prepared for a rainy day before sending the team and arranged a female knight in the team who knew how to heal, otherwise they would have had to make a detour to another city to find a doctor to treat Betty.

However, it is still noon, and the weather is still very hot, and for Betty, who has just recovered, it is also very beneficial for her body to come out and exercise.

Russell and Betty played on the lawn for a long time, and they didn't stop until Buna called them over for dinner.

Time was of the essence, the group traveled day and night, and there were no robbers along the way, so the knights' team could barely keep up with the schedule.

As the procession approached the royal capital, Russell could also find that the houses on the side of the road and the clothes of the people were gradually tidying, they should be almost in the royal capital, and the opening of the market on the road became more and more prosperous.

Russell compared the Heka Kingdom with the empire he grew up in, and found that the Heka Kingdom was still richer, at least the low-level farmers could still wear a simple clothes, eat a full meal, and have money to go to the market to buy some necessities.

In contrast, the peasants of the empire had a miserable life, most of their food had to be paid to the local greedy lords, and they themselves were affected by various natural and man-made disasters, most of them could not even eat a single meal, and even sold their sons and daughters to survive in the most desperate times.

Russell could tell from his memories that this was the consequence of the empire's hard time, but he couldn't undo it, his strength was still too weak, and even he was sometimes in danger.

Russell is actually very lonely in his heart, there are people he knows well in this world, but no one can understand his true thoughts, so Russell really wants to return to his hometown, at least there are like-minded friends and partners there!

In the midst of such complicated thoughts, Russell followed the knight's team and finally arrived at the royal capital.

The royal capital was located next to a high mountain, and two rivers flowed slowly nearby, and Russell could see that it was a fortified city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It was a sunny morning, and the guards of the royal capital were yawning slowly opening the city gates, outside which were already waiting for many merchants, travelers, and farmers, eager to enter the city to begin the day's trade.

However, these people had to obediently wait in line for the soldiers to check and enter the city, except for the Guardian Knights, who were the honorable Church Guardian Knights, a special group of people who could enter the city directly without being inspected by the guards.

Buna rode beside Russell, pointed to the towering gate, and said, "This is the capital of the kingdom, and its name is Dinah, and it is a city as beautiful as its name!"

Russell looked up at this majestic capital, its overall scale is very large, although it is not as large as the city of San Caron in the empire, but there is also the acropolis of the city of San Caron, the size of the city of Finn, it can be said that this is a large city extending in all directions.

Around the walls are a huge statue of the goddess of grain, a symbol of the faith of the Heka kingdom, and the majestic walls are a bit daunting.

"I know you're a little shocked when you see Dinah City, but now is not the time for you to be in a daze, when we enter the city, I, the host, will lead you around the royal capital, and there are still many noble teams waiting for us to enter the royal capital first, so let's not delay too long!"

With that, Buna and Russell quickly entered the imposing capital with their entire team.
