Chapter 80: The Old Knight
Maier stood on the balcony, looked at the scenery of the town, and sighed slightly, since he came to this world, the last month has been the most relaxed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I didn't have to worry about magic, and I didn't have to guard against the temple, so I even put down the novels I had relied on to survive.
However, such an easy life can only be such a short period of time lately, and as a magician, if you stagnate on the path of magic, it is no different from waiting for death.
And after a long time of leisure, I always want to find something to do.
Maier bought a pony and re-embarked on the journey, with Druba following him, while Tom felt too tired to travel for him, so he ran into the quarter and played with Lily.
Of course, Tom's main amusement is teasing the puppy that Lily named Angel.
As a puppy, Angel is very hostile to cats, and every time he sees Tom, he will stand up and bare his teeth, as if he wants to fight Tom for 300 rounds.
But the size of the two is similar, but the difference in combat power is not known how many times, that is, Tom does not use magic, and Angel is still not Tom's opponent.
Perhaps because of Angel's personality, Tom likes to tease the little dog more and more.
However, despite being teased countless times by Tom, Angel does not have the IQ of Drupa, and Tom's same tricks work every time.
When Angel is in a hurry, Angel will cry out, and Lily will come out to administer justice a little, comfort Angel, and pretend to teach Tom a lesson.
After all, it was an underage puppy, and after a while, he forgot all the unpleasantness and began to sprinkle joy in the mushroom forest again.
Around this time Mair was nearing the end of the Byzantine principality.
The town of Rodejar, a town named after the lord, is located on the border of the Duchy of Byzantium, separated from the Duchy of OrlΓ©ans by a river.
It's a big river, though.
While meditating slightly, Mel looked at the scenery on both sides, when suddenly, a loud shout came from his ears, which immediately startled Myer.
"Devil, die!"
Could it be that his identity has been revealed?
But it shouldn't be, even if it's leaked, it should be called a heresy, why is it the devil?
When Mel looked back, he saw a middle-aged knight, no, it would be more accurate to say that the old knight, riding a horse and holding a spear, charged at him.
Maier was shocked, and the magic in his hand was pinched, as long as the old knight on the opposite side would pose a threat to his life, then it must be an unceremonious magic to smash down.
An old, frail knight couldn't resist his fireball.
Something seems to be wrong, though.
The old knight seemed to be charging at him, but there was actually a bit of a problem with the angle, if the direction of the old knight remained the same, it should pass by his side.
There is still a distance of about one or two meters between himself and the old knight.
At this point, Maier stopped thinking about throwing the magic right away.
Sure enough, the old knight charged, but he regarded Maier as nothing, and rushed directly from the side, without even a glance at Maier.
Maier only felt a little strange, this old knight, what kind of name?
Mel's gaze followed the old knight, and he saw that the old knight had rushed for another ten meters or so before he stopped, dismounted, took his spear, and stabbed hard at a stone.
The stone was hard, and the spear tip pierced the stone with a violent sound.
"Devil, not dead yet!"
The old knight stabbed the stone again.
This time it's good, don't look at the old knight, although he is old, he still has a little strength, and the gun seems to be a little rotten, and it was directly broken under this collision.
"Damn devil, I've finally killed you, haha, I, Alexander, am the bravest knight!"
Maier was a little confused about what was going on.
An old knight charged at him, rushed past him, dismounted, and stabbed twice at a stone, and the stone did not break, and the barrel of the gun broke, and then the old knight was happy.
Is this kind of performance art also popular in this era?
Or, is there something wrong with the old man's spirit.
At last the old knight noticed Myr, and with a half-spear in his hand, he led the lean horse and walked up to him.
"Young man, do you see?"
Mel shook his head, very inexplicable.
"Hmph!" said the old knight, a little dissatisfied, "I, the great Knight Alexander, have just slain a devil over there, and you have not even noticed it at such a glorious moment. β
"But, young man, I forgive you for your transgressions, and now, I, the knight of Alexander, will take this devil's head before the king, who will surely reward me with a great land. β
"Young man, I will give you a chance, would you like to be my knight's servant?"
At this time, Maier was sure that the old knight in front of him was probably really mentally ill, holding a half-broken gun, but he wanted to go to the king to ask for a reward.
And leading a horse that is so thin.
Such an old knight, just afraid that before the gate of the royal city entered, he was driven away by the group of guards, and if he met a well-thought-out, maybe he would take the old man to the temple to heal his brain.
For madmen, Mel has always stayed away.
After all, in the previous world, a spiritual appraisal book had a reputation that was rampant in the world, of course, it was just an exaggeration.
Facing the old knight, Mel chose to retreat, and patted the pony on the head, and the pony flew away.
The old knight's face was not very good-looking, and he glared at Mel viciously, he was not a hero enough, but he would not care much about the small role of Mel in his eyes.
Entering the town, Maier found a nearby inn and began to inquire of the old knight from the innkeepers.
"You met this man on the road? I tell you, it's good that you didn't pay much attention to him, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get out of it for a while, and this guy could tell you more about his heroic deeds for a day and a night. β
Maier frowned slightly, and said, "Doesn't he have any relatives to take care of?"
"Where will he have any relatives, his parents are long dead, and he is not married, and he dreams of knighthood all day long, and no one knows what is going on in his head. β
"But he's also pitiful, it's said that when he was in the knight assessment, he was the one who had the most hope of becoming a full-fledged knight, but because of the opponent's tricks, he lost the opportunity. β
And his opponent also lost his qualifications, and even lost his life, which made him unable to find a target for revenge, and all his anger had nowhere to vent, so he became the one who is looking for it now. β
