Early in the morning, the heavily armed Alan slowly stepped out of the small building, stopped at the door, looked back at the room again, sniffed the faint fragrance of the air for the last time, closed his eyes and savored it, took a long breath of relief, and gently took the door, the letter left by Christine lay quietly in Alan's arms, and the knight's boots collided with the stone path leading to the courtyard in front of the door, making a rhythmic, light and pleasant sound...

Delta Town in the morning was unusually quiet, and Alan walked along the long street towards the business district, "At this time, there are very few people even in the business district" Alan spread his palms, looked at the blue fragment lying quietly in his hand, and said to himself as he walked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A man in a dirty old cloak hurriedly approached, and when he saw that it was Allen, he was a little surprised, stopped his hurried steps, and waved at Allen.

"Alan?"

Alan was stunned for a moment, looked up at the person in front of him a few times, and saw that the man took off his shabby hood, revealing a slightly pale but implicitly excited face.

"Crete?"

"Long time no see!"

"yes, yes..."

The two exchanged a few words, Crete saw that Alan looked a little tired, and said in his heart, this kid wouldn't have slept with himself all night, looking at Alan's somewhat gloomy eyes, Crete thought that Alan was worried about something, so he generously proposed to find a place to sit, and he had a treat. Old Carbpensis generously gave him twenty gold coins this morning, saying that it was sent together with the next two months' wages, but although twenty gold coins are many, it is still a little embarrassing to use them with Dolan Minos, Dolan's enchanted dagger has been used up, and a new one needs to be purchased, ordinary daggers are cheap, but in Dolan's words, he is also an orthodox assassin, and it is really a drop to use the kind of dagger that can't even kill a bear. A low-level enchanted dagger generally costs three or five gold coins, which is nearly a quarter, and his own magic book has been broken, but the cheapest magic book also costs ten gold coins, so thinking about it, twenty gold coins are stretched, no, Crete just came out of the mage tower early this morning, went to the business district, and sold the stone given to him by the mage to a merchandiser who collected magic materials, and I don't know why, after the dealer saw the stone, he generously paid Alan fifty gold coins, which made Crete dare to be quite surprised。

In addition to the twenty gold coins issued to him by old Carbensis, a total of seventy, a heavy bag, which is why Crete is in a hurry, this is the first time he has so much money, naturally he can't help but be a little excited, and a little nervous, but Crete can't understand a little bit, what the stone is, when asked the dealer, the dealer is very secretive, after paying Cretan money, he no longer pays attention to Crete, and in the end, Crete has no choice but to give up, and continue to think about the flower of the seventy gold coins.

"Let's go Alan, I don't have anything to do today anyway, let's have a few drinks, I'll have a treat" Crete patted Allen on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Well, I mean that too, but not yet, find another time Crete, I'll have to go to the mall now," Alan politely declined Crete's offer.

"Oh, what are you going to do there? Buy materials? I know a few shopkeepers, but it's too early, and only one is open. ”

"No, I'm looking for a craftsman"

"Craftsman?"

"Hmm"

"Okay, by the way, I'm not in a hurry anyway, let's come with you"

"Well, good"

Crete keenly captured the loss in Allen's words, and couldn't help but be a little curious, in fact, compared with Dolan and Minos, although Crete seems to be not interested in everything, and is called the most boring magician by Dolan, but in fact, Crete is the most delicate person among the three, silently protecting the people around him, otherwise he would not rather sacrifice sleep time to make money, his feelings are hidden deeper than ordinary people, and he is described by some words in the poems, he is a kind of person who loves deeply。

The two talked along the way, Alan was actually lacking a confidant at this time, at first he didn't want to say more, but seeing that Crete had been listening carefully, gradually, Alan also opened the conversation box, and talked to Crete about some unpleasant things in his heart, Crete was also happy to do so, he felt that the young knight who walked with him had a delicate heart similar to him. When people are similar, it is naturally easier to understand each other.

"So, that Lord Christine is on his way to the front?" said Crete, with some regret.

"Well, so I must awaken as a guardian and go to the front line to find her. Even if it's only for a year," Alan sighed.

Crete took a deep breath, he knew that it was not easy for a knight to awaken to become a guardian, and the time was so short, it was still very difficult for a knight from a mid-level knight to a high-level knight in a year, let alone awaken. Crete wanted to persuade Alan to give up, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips, and he read something deeper from Alan's lonely eyes, that is, firmness.

"Well, I'm sure you can do it, Alan. Crete said suddenly.

"Well, thank you, Crete. ”

The two of them walked while talking and came to the central square of the business district.

"Arrived, it seems that you are lucky, there is a craftsman opening the door at this time?" Glancing at the empty square, Crete pointed to a small shop in the corner.

"The Graver of Silence? What a strange name, and I don't know how it works. The two sighed at the broken sign hanging by the door of the shop, and pushed the door in, the light in the small shop was very dim, and all kinds of semi-finished products were hung everywhere. A large, fat man with his back to the two of them, huddled behind a wooden cabinet full of clutter, not knowing what to do.

"Excuse me, can I carve something here?" Alan said in a loud voice.

The big man turned around and pushed the broken glasses on his nose: "Yes, you want to engrave!!!..."

Alan and Crete also saw the appearance of the big man clearly at this time, and shouted in unison: "Borat!"

This big man, actually a long time ago, in the Red Oak Tavern was defeated by their joint efforts of the middle-level knight, at first Crete did not know the name of this big man, until later the whole town posted a notice, saying that he gathered a crowd to fight, sentenced to ten years in prison, according to rumors, it was his son who found someone to spend money to fish him out, and then this matter quickly fell silent, Crete and Alan could not have imagined that the once invincible aristocrat Mr. Borat, in just a few months, was reduced to doing manual work in such a small shop.

"How did you get here!!" Borat roared, struggling to squeeze his way out of the cramped cupboard, only to stagger, and a half-carved crystal statue fell to the ground and shattered.

"No! No, this crystal is worth twenty gold coins!!! Mr. Oliver will kill me!" Borat seemed to forget the deep hatred with the two in front of him, and covered his head very annoyed, he wanted to bend down to pick up the crystal shards on the ground, but once the crystal was broken, it would not be able to be put back in any way.

"Borat, you actually care about twenty gold coins?" Alan said with some surprise as he looked at Borat with a painful face.

Crete, on the other hand, noticed other details, frowned and said to Allen, "Wasn't this kid a mid-level knight before? ”

Alan shook his head, "I don't know either. ”

"What do you know? Just because of the fight I had with you, I was put in prison, and all my family property was put into it! I was removed from the Knights' Branch! I died of anger! It's all because of you Allen!" Borat howled like a pig.

"Blame him?" Crete raised his eyebrows: "How do I remember, it was you who made the first move at that time? Do the nobles like it, do you blame others? Borat, you are to blame for all this!"

"Don't talk about it, Crete, he's miserable enough now. Alan interrupted Crete, took out ten gold coins from his waist, and the triangular fragment, and placed them on the counter in front of Borat.

"What are you doing! I don't make your money!" Borat slapped the cupboard viciously, scattering ten gold coins and the shards to the ground.

"Listen to me, Borat. Alan possessed and picked up the shard on the ground, wiped the dust on it, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that my whims would lead to today's situation, Borat, I sincerely apologize to you, please forgive me, even if it doesn't help you." With that, Alan bowed respectfully and earnestly.

This time, it was Borat and Crete's turn to froze.

The etiquette of knights is strict, Borat knows it, and the superior expresses gratitude and apologies to the lower, at most he just touches the edge of the helmet and nods slightly, but Alan still uses a bow, which shows that Alan still regards Borat as a middle-level knight on an equal footing, even though Borat has now been deprived of his knighthood. Since Borat lost his fortune and family protection, he has suffered a lot of ridicule and cold eyes in the past few months, and many old friends have fallen into the ground, but Alan is the first person who still treats him as a knight. A person who was inferior to a pig and a dog in the eyes of his former self is actually generously giving respect and care to himself today, which is really ironic...

"What are you doing, no, don't be so shy!" Seeing that Alan was like this, Borat didn't know what to do, and still refused to give up, but his tone softened a lot.

Crete looked at Alan quietly on the side, remembering the conversation Alan had with him before, and he suddenly understood why Allen, who was a knight, did this, Allen had promised Christine to become the strongest knight guardian, and now Alan is practicing his determination with his every move, and what Allen said and did at this time shows the most basic and important point of knighthood - chivalry.

"Borat, this is the only money I have left. I know it's a drop in the bucket for you, but please accept my apologies, Crete, let's go," Alan said with a serious look on his face, and turned to walk out of the store.

"Well, okay," Crett nodded and followed Alan towards the door.

"Slow Alan!" Borat suddenly called out to Allen, Allen turned to look at Borat with a complicated expression suspiciously, but saw Borat sigh, and continued in a calm but somewhat frustrated tone: "Mr. Allen, welcome to the Knife of Silence, what are you going to do?"

Alan smiled with some relief, turned back to the counter, spread his palm, handed the blue fragment to Borat, and pointed to the empty shield-shaped groove above the armor on his chest: "Borat, help me make a badge"
