Luwen's morning usually arrives with morning dew, which is good news for the inhabitants and knights, and allows them to walk boldly through the streets. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At six o'clock, when the sun was rising, Lu Wen's market was already lively. The circular square is divided into two pieces by vendors. Crops grown by farmers, such as potatoes, corn and apples, occupy half of the square, and carts with rabbits and weasels are also being sold. The other half of the space was occupied by "serious vendors", some of whom sat on the spot and placed a pile of knick-knacks from nowhere, others who set up easels and showed off their craftsmanship to passers-by, and girls with flowers and newspaper boys in hats running around the square.

Compared to other towns, it is a bustling place.

"Sir, are you so handsome, don't you buy a bouquet of flowers for your lover?" the flower girl stopped the blonde Phoenix and showed him a few bright roses.

"I don't have a lover, but I'm happy to buy one. Phoenix handed the girl five bottle caps, pinned the roses to his chest in golden armor, and smiled at the girl. The smile flushed the girl's face, and she threw down a "thank you" and ran away shyly.

"She's probably in love with you. Another gold-robed man teased behind him.

"Maybe, maybe I just fell in love with this armor. Phoenix looked at the Sun Badge on his chest, "The Sun Knight deserves to be loved, Lyddy. His right armoured hand pointed to the bazaar, "Thanks to us, they can live like this." ”

The brown-haired man named Liddy pushed back his glasses and pulled out a document and an envelope from behind him.

"Good news or bad news, which would you like to hear first, Lord Paladin?"

"Hmm, let me guess......" The smugness on Phoenix's face receded a little, "An incident report, a notice from Sun City?" he took both things and shook them in his hand, "Neither of them feels good." ”

"Then you can tell for yourself. Liddy bowed pretendedly, "I still have to go back to work." Then he turned and left. Phoenix shrugged, found the bench he used to sit on, sat down and began to go through the reports one by one.

"Residents are missing, no one alive, no bodies dead. The contents of the report were similar, and he couldn't help frowning. There is no doubt that if it were a normal day, this must have been done by the fog beast. However, since the arrival of the Knights of the Sun in Phoenix, the fog has become less frequent, and the chaotic town has come back to life. He feared that if the number of missing people continued to rise, the Knights of the Sun's reputation could be tarnished.

After investigating, he made up his mind.

Then there was the letter with the sigil of the sun, which came from the Knights' headquarters in Sun City, and Phoenix had almost guessed the contents. "To the Paladin Phoenix," it reads, "the Senate wants you to produce results as soon as possible, or else a decision may be made to withdraw." I'm talking to them, and I want you to speed things up. Captain of the Knights of the Sun, Roderick. ”

Seeing this, Phoenix couldn't help but sigh, and the embarrassed face of the knight leader Roderick seemed to be right in front of him. The two are about the same age, almost the same age, and their ideas are extremely similar. Thanks to Roderick's maneuvering, Phoenix was able to lead his team out to sweep the fog beasts. This is a far cry from the Knights of the Sun's insistence on the idea of "guarding the sun". But now the old men of the Senate are pressuring Roderick, chanting, "If you don't get the results, come back and atone for your sins." ”

This would look ridiculous to Phoenix. He and his knights liberated several towns and brought people back from the ground to the surface. They hunted countless fog beasts, and even knights died bravely. They revived the reputation of the Knights of the Sun, while the old men turned a blind eye and only yelled in their chairs with ancient texts.

Thinking of this, an enraged Phoenix tore the letter in half and spat it upwards.

"Hey, as a paladin, are you okay with this behavior?" asked a young female voice, and Phoenix looked up to see a familiar face standing in front of him.

"Amilia?" he was a little surprised, "what are you doing here?"

The young woman wears a dark green leather jacket and brown leather trousers, with a lace white collar standing on her chest. The neat short silver hair hung down from the ears, and the ruby pendants on the ears shimmered. "Get to the market early, Phoenix. She carried a bag of fresh apples in her hand, "Are you here to buy fruit too?"

"No, of course not. Phoenix moved to the side to make room for Amilia, "Routine patrols, I've always done that. He gestured to the golden knights walking around the bazaar, "lest anyone desert." ”

Emilia looked at his hand and nodded thoughtfully, "It's really hard work...... You just looked angry, what's going on?" Emilia asked inadvertently, if it were someone else, Phoenix would probably be wary of whether the other party was spying on information.

"The old men are pressuring me to go back soon. Phoenix replied truthfully, that he was unwary of the girl. He had known her a month earlier, when they had just arrived in Luwen and had a lot to do. Emilia, who is in her early 20s, offered to help, provided them with information about the Mist Beasts, took care of the wounded, and relieved them of a lot of pressure. Not only Phoenix, but the entire Order smiled when they saw Amilia.

"Are you leaving?" said Amilia, a little reluctant.

"Maybe, I can't help myself. "But at least the disappearances need to be solved, and there's been a lot of panic in the town lately...... We will also leave the appropriate people to manage the station. "A big reason why Phoenix chose to sweep Luvin in the first place was because of Luwen's train station. Nearly all of the railroads in the wasteland are controlled by the Knights of the Sun, and with more than a dozen steam trains, the Knights can move around quickly.

"Did you find anything?"

"It wasn't the Fog Beast who did it. He told the girl about the information he had recently compiled, "It's a person, not just one, maybe an organization." He remembered what Liddy had shown him: burnt cloth, burnt candles. The shadows are raging under the sun, but I am doing nothing. This fact made Phoenix a little impatient, and he couldn't help but increase his search. "Any information?" he asked the girl, but had little hope.

The girl pursed her lips, pondering, trying to recall something.

"Forget it, there's something going on at headquarters, I have to go back. He stood up, took Emilia an apple, and took a bite of it, sweet juice bursting out of his mouth, "Thank you for the fruit, it's so sweet." ”

Emilia ignored him, still thinking about things. "If you think of something, come to the headquarters to find me, it's at the train station. Phoenix said, hearing Emilia roar "um" before turning away.

Not far from the bazaar, the red-brick spire faces west, with the railroad passing through its back. Phoenix has staffed people in every location to ensure that the station is in its own hands. Ten thousand steps back, he would rather let the town fall than give up the station, the greatest result.

The command post was located on the second floor, which was the original stationmaster's office. Phoenix pushes open the door and sees Liddy, who has changed back into a white shirt, talking to a knight.

"Phoenix, it's just in time. Liddy beckoned to him, motioning for him to walk over.

"What's wrong?" he looked at the knight, looking like he was causing trouble. "What's going on, knight?"

"Someone wants to take the train to Cité Soleil. ”

"Isn't it normal, the railroad serves all normal wastelanders. Phoenix took off his armor and picked up the glass bottle of wine on the table, which he was used to drinking every morning, which cheered him up.

"No, to be honest, they don't look normal. The knight said cautiously.

"Huh? ”

"A man in a silver crow mask with a girl. They claimed to be fog chasers. ”

Phoenix frowned slightly, the last time he heard the word was in the story of the Sun City Wandering Poet. Legend has it that the founder of the Knights of the Sun was a declining mist chaser who, like the knights, was not eroded by the white fog and hunted mist beasts for a living. In a sense, the two sides have a lot in common. Phoenix became interested and told the knight to bring them up.

"It's interesting, it's actually a fog chaser. Liddy leaned against the window and looked out. Taking off his battle armor, he was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants, revealing the air of a scholar. In fact, he really is the brains of Phoenix. "If so, what are you going to do?"

"You think those two are liars?" said Phoenix, spinning a black pen in his hand.

"A few decades ago, it might have been true. But now......" Lydy's words were intriguing, as if he knew something inside. Phoenix didn't ask much either, as the guest had already been taken.

As the knight said, a man wearing a silver crow mask. Dressed in black, wearing a black hat, and carrying a long sword wrapped in black cloth on his back, he was very different from the glamorous Knights of the Sun. The girl next to him was much more normal, she was carrying a worn-out backpack and her brown bib pants were covered in mud and looked dirty and messy.

"Hello, Lord Paladin. The silver-faced man spoke, "What are you asking us for?"

"Listen to my subordinates, you are fog chasers?"

"No, without me. I'm just a sidekick. The girl protested, rolling her eyes at Phoenix.

"Sorry, it looks like I misunderstood. "Phoenix found the duo very interesting. Men are cold and indifferent, girls are smart and lively. "You say you're a fog chaser, do you have any proof?"

The other party did not answer, but reached for his long sword. This alerted Lyddy, who drew his dagger and held it in front of Phoenix. The paladin patted his companion on the shoulder and motioned for him to step aside. Interesting, Phoenix thought, curious about what the other person was about to do. Even if the other party wants to take out the sword and compare it with him, he will gladly accept it, the fog beast is really vulnerable, and my sword is eager for a more valuable battle.

The man unravels the black cloth, revealing a black scabbard covered in silver stripes. He slowly drew his sword, and Phoenix was amazed by its beautiful blade. The blade was straight and slender, and it was engraved with incantations that Phoenix couldn't read. The man whispered a mantra, and the sword lit up as if it were dyed with moonlight.

"Incredible......" Seeing this sight, Phoenix understood everything, "Silver sword, the weapon of the fog chaser." He bowed deeply to the other to show his respect for the Misty Chaser. The silver-faced man nodded, leaned over, and withdrew the silver sword from its scabbard.

"Shall we leave?" the other party didn't seem to want to linger for a moment, but respect for respect, Phoenix didn't intend to let the two of them leave easily.

"Sorry, not yet. When he said this, he wanted to spy on the man's expression, but he could only see a cold mask. The girl on the side looked around, looking restless. Phoenix and his knights seem to have become villains.

"What do you want?" the man's question was straightforward.

Phoenix likes to go straight and save a lot of trouble. "Intelligence," he said, "tell me anything you know." Just use it as a toll. ”

There was no answer, so he moved back to his chair and knocked leisurely on the table, fiddling with the wine bottles on it. It doesn't matter, what I have is time.

"Have you heard?" the silver crow finally spoke, and the voice seemed to be mixed with a cold wind, "the white fog is coming. ”
