"Tread-tread-"

Iron boots splashed mud on the waterlogged ground, and the middle-aged knight tightened his cloak to protect against the cold, and walked slowly around the camp. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Behind the middle-aged knight, a young man dressed in the same costume as him was following in his footsteps, his raised eyebrows and an angry expression indicating that the follower was in a bad mood at the moment.

"This damn weather, when is it going to be a head!"

The young man glanced up at the gloomy sky and cursed viciously. A cold wind blew, and he shrank his shoulders unnaturally and shivered.

It's the season when the frozen coast is heating up, and although there are still winds and snow, more often than not, it's rainy and rainy.

Outsiders will always subconsciously despise the rain, but the young people who are choked by the clamour and cold climate no longer dare to think so. In his opinion, the cages where felons are held in the imperial capital are stronger than this damn frozen coast, and although the environment inside the prison is damp and gloomy, it is not like here, and the cold and damp seem to penetrate deep into the bone marrow.

The chill of the cold rain combined with the howling north wind can leave an indelible impression on anyone. Arguably, this is the most annoying time of year on the frozen coast.

Even the walls of earth and stone were hard to resist in the cold and humid conditions, let alone the marching tents where the knights lived.

The young man could not remember how many times he had been woken up in the middle of the night, and although he was physically strong and would not get sick from it, no normal person would be willing to endure such unnecessary torture.

"What's the matter, Segru? ”

The middle-aged knight stopped when he heard this, and he turned around and looked at the young man named Seglo with interest.

He could understand the other party's resentment, and he never minded being more tolerant of a young man who had suffered less. However, the ridicule and jokes that should be there are essential, and being idle is idle anyway.

"Sir, we've been here for three whole days, and the damn Moorte family won't even give me a letter, this ......"

Segru didn't feel the deep malice under the middle-aged knight's insipidity, and complained to himself, pointing the finger at the Moult family.

As a member of the Knights of Champions, Seglo has always been proud of who he is.

The usual courtesies gave the young man some smug thoughts, although he was not a nobleman, but he was also a knight with a noble status. You know, even some of the honorary nobles of a slightly lower status will maintain respect for him when they meet.

However, this pride was shattered on the frozen shores.

It was enough to send a herald to the territory in advance to apply for entry qualifications, but until now, the other party has not even given them a letter of approval.

What does this mean?

In the eyes of the other party, the so-called Champion Knights are not literate, and his former pride is as ridiculous as a clown in front of the real nobles. It is even very likely that the other party will refuse their entry, and then let them go back to the imperial capital in disgrace.

"There's always news, we just need a little patience. ”

The middle-aged knight spoke unnourishingly words of comfort, and did not seem to understand the deep meaning of Segru's words. However, just when Segru wanted to complain further, the middle-aged man began to joke to him: "The climate here is indeed bad, but it is not unbearable, if Young Master Seglo can't stand it, I don't mind going to invite two maids for you to warm the tent." ”

"Sir!" Segru blushed and muttered before he uttered a grumbling word, "You...... You're so indecent!"

"Hahaha-"

The middle-aged knight, who had reaped the joy of Segru, continued to move forward, and the young man who was in an embarrassment could only follow in a panic.

Seglo had long known about his captain's unscrupulousness, and although he was a little embarrassed, he didn't really take it to heart. The young man is not a person who does not know what to do, and he can still distinguish between good-natured ridicule and malicious ridicule.

In the early years, he was the squire of his own captain, and it was only last year that he actually became a member of the Knights of Champions. This is also the reason why he does not call the other party "captain", but insists on calling him "sir".

In terms of identity, the other party is his superior, and in terms of relationship, the other party is his division commander. So, joking is a common thing.

At this time, as a junior, he can only choose to accept it silently.

"What, angry?"

There was no conversation in the middle of the ring, and some middle-aged knights who couldn't stay idle began to tease their students again.

The gentleman laughed, Seglo is not a bad person. ”

The young knight's tone was as respectful as ever, unaffected in the slightest by what had just happened.

"You're just too serious! That's your biggest flaw. It's good to be serious when you're middle-aged, but if you're young, you'll be more vigorous, and the combination of being serious and serious will make you look at things too extremely. ”

At this time, the middle-aged man had put away his smiling expression, and the expression on his face became serious.

"Thank you, sir, for your teachings. ”

Of course, Seglo could hear the teachings and expectations in his captain's words, and while his heart was moved, he hurriedly stroked his chest and saluted. Such a salute may seem a bit undignified, but as a knight in full armor, such a courtesy is enough to show his respect.

At this time, Seglo suddenly realized that because of his teacher's gag just now, his resentment and indignation against the Morte family had dissipated most of it.

After his sanity returned to his mind, Segru broke out in a cold sweat. He had no doubt that, in his state, anger and resentment would erupt when he visited Count Cheno.

What would happen to a knight who collided with a real nobleman in front of him?

Seglo was not afraid of fighting and dying, but he was afraid that the Knights of Champions and the Teacher would be disgraced by their stupidity.

"Got it?"

Kern's face returned to a smile as Segru fell into deep thought, and he invisibly guided the other to stop and wait until the other man had come back to his senses before asking a question.

The knight's squire was just another name for their students, and each knight would be extremely careful in choosing his squire, lest he cultivate some strange goods and tarnish his reputation.

For Segru, Kern was relatively satisfied, but the arrogance of the other party gave him a headache.

"Arrogance" is different from "pride", it is a synonym for "arrogance" and the beginning of self-destruction.

Young people who have never experienced too many setbacks can also get lost in the glory that comes with the title of "Knights of Champions" and lose their accurate position.

It is for this reason that Kern asked his friend to transfer Segru to his team and take him to the Frozen Coast on this mission.

Glory to the nobility?That kind of rice worm is not worth mentioning!

While the young man prides himself on the respect that the noble lord has for him, Kern does not mind letting his students go through some "humiliation".

The real nobles are not even bought by the royal family, and it is absolutely wishful thinking to expect them to have good respect for a group of knights like the glorious nobles mixed in the imperial capital. And among them, it is especially the aristocracy of the frozen coast.

Perhaps the other lords will be treated with courtesy because of the strength and achievements of the Champion Knights, then when it comes to the nobles of the frozen coast, there is only fear and contempt left.

The ancestors of the nobles of the Frozen Coast were once sinners and were treated coldly by others, but after becoming sacrifices and followers of the goddess of winter, their social status changed drastically, and later they became members of the real nobles.

This history has also created an extremely xenophobic personality trait for the people here, and the lords here are even more difficult to get along with than the actual nobles in other places.

This is also the reason why Kern and the others have been on the border of Morte Territory for three days, and they are still living in the marching tent waiting for news.

"I see, sir, if you hadn't woken me up in time, I'm afraid I would have done something that would have disgraced the 'Knights of Champions'. Segru said with trepidation, although he still didn't know the inside story, but this did not prevent him from reflecting on himself as he understood the gap between the real nobles and the honorary nobles.

"It's good that you can figure that out. Pride is not afraid, it is good for young people to be a little arrogant. But if you are blinded by arrogance, then the whole person is finished. ”

"But sir, we're just waiting?"

Segru was a little unwilling, even if the other party was a real nobleman, he couldn't be arrogant to this extent, anyway, they were also here on behalf of the royal family.

"What else could we do? We are not envoys, but knights who have come to our territory to complete the tasks given to us by the royal family. There is no need for people to give us any courtesy, and it is already a great favor to allow us to enter the country. ”

Compared with the young and frivolous Segru, the experienced Kern can better understand the essence of it.

"What if they don't allow us to enter the country?

"It's impossible to go back, after all, we have a mission on our side, it's just ......"

Kern hadn't finished his words, but Segru could still hear the loneliness in his tone.

Come to think of it, even an ordinary knight has his own pride, as a captain of the Champion Knights, how can Kern's heart be less proud of his own knights?

It's a pity that he used to hold his head high and raise his head now, because the opposite side represents the entire aristocratic class.

"Sir!" Segre, who had always treated Kern as his father, became angry, and the other party's lonely expression pierced his heart like a sharp knife: "Don't worry, the other party doesn't dare to underestimate our knights, if he really dares to do this, don't fight for his life, I will also make that nobleman who is above the top pay the price!"
