The blonde man is Gawain Christian's uncle, Evie's late head of the Christian family, and Arya's uncle.

Originally, he was in the seventh squad of the Holy Knights Branch under the Templar Order, just like Ivey.

However, after the incident, Ivey died, and he was dismissed by the Knights, left the Upper City, and finally became a loose mercenary in the Lower City.

"Uncle ......"

Beside Roy, Arya stared at the blonde man in a daze.

In her impression, unlike her father Ivey, who was always calm and calm, her uncle Gawain was very cheerful and talkative.

Every time they met, Gawain would always return her with a sunny smile.

He always seemed so optimistic, and in all these years, Arya had never seen Gawain angry and sad.

But I haven't seen him for more than a month, and he is now the same as before.

The cheekbones were prominent, the cheeks were deep, the eye sockets were black and swollen, the eyes were bloodshot, the beard was unkempt, and the blonde hair was long and messy.

Now his appearance is even scruffier than that of the uneducated savage mercenaries.

Every knight attaches great importance to his appearance, and even more so to the nobles.

A month ago, this dress would have been absolutely impossible for Gawain.

Arya could feel that Gawain had suffered no less than her.

At least she still has Roy.

"Arya ......"

Gao Wen looked at the girl in front of him dumbfounded, and once suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.

How could she be in Downtown?

Gawain was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and his eyes wandered, like a debtor who had been collected by a creditor.

"Hug, sorry, Arya......"

He raised his hands and said repeatedly, "It's not like I didn't want to look for you, really! I've been thinking about you every day and every night, but, I can't do it......"

"Jessica told me to get out of Uptown, she was forced to die, I, I couldn't do anything...... She said that children can't live without their fathers, and she asked me to think about the rest of the family and let me stop worrying about my brother! ”

Arya fell silent, she understood what Gawain meant.

Jessica is Gawain's wife and just gave birth to a baby last year. The family has experienced this kind of change, and the wife must hope that her husband will not stir up this troubled water again and cause the fire.

So they and the rest of the Christian family hid in the lower part of the city and went into seclusion.

But I never thought that I would meet Arya here.

As a noble knight, Gawain has always restrained himself by the rules of knighthood, and he thinks that he has acted openly in his life.

And the only thing he has done in his life with a bad conscience is to give up looking for Arya.

Leaving a girl with no survival skills on the streets is like killing her with her own hands.

Because Sidenia is a man-eating cave, he now knows this truth better than anyone else.

During his time in Downtown, his spirit was even more difficult than his body.

I had to borrow alcohol every day to kill my sorrows, so that I developed a problem with alcoholism.

At this point, under the influence of alcohol, he almost recognized Arya as a ghost who had come to ask for his life.

Ivey...... Arya......"

Gawain jerked back, and fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

His emotions broke down a little, and his voice grew louder and louder, so much so that it caught the eyes of the others in the hall.

Everyone's eyes began to gather here, and they didn't know what kind of madness this usually grumpy Shangcheng lord was going on this time.

"Calm down!"

Roy snorted, holding Gawain's shoulder, "This is not the place to talk, let's talk in another place." ”

He dragged the lost Gawain out of the Mercenary Guild.

found a secluded teahouse, and Roy and the others sat around the box.

The three of them stared at each other for a moment.

Gawain rubbed his eyes, and the wine slowly dissipated.

He sorted out his thoughts for a moment, then looked at Arya, and said, "How are you doing during this time?" ”

"I'm doing well." Arya looked at him worriedly, "Uncle is, take care of your health." ”

Gawain sighed: "I...... It's okay. ”

Only then did he notice that Arya was now wearing a maid's outfit, and he looked at Roy again, and immediately understood what was going on.

The Christian family was originally a noble knight family, but now the eldest lady of the family has become someone else's maid!?

But he couldn't get angry, so what position did he have to accuse him of this?

He's even more downtrodden than Arya now.

"Mr. Gawain, to put it bluntly, I am here for the slave trade case of the Christian family."

Roy looked him straight in the eye, "Do you also think that Mr. Ivey was wronged?" ”

Gawain hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

As Ivey's younger brother, he and Ivey have lived together since childhood, and in fact, they believe more than anyone else that Ivey was wronged.

Ivey smuggled and sold slaves in the dungeon?

Just kidding, he hasn't even been to the dungeon!

Roy said seriously: "I'm going to help the Christian family overturn the case, can you help me?" ”

“……”

Gawain was silent, his fists clenched.

The boy's words pierced his heart deeply.

This is his family's unjust case, and this sentence should have been said by him!

Now more than ever, he hates his powerlessness.

But if either of him and Ivey awakens to become the inheritor, the Christian family will not become a soft persimmon who is arbitrarily bullied.

But even if you know that your family is framed, what can you do?

He had no evidence to overturn the case, and he had no way of even knowing who had framed their family.

I don't have the strength to overturn the case!

"Your name is Roy, isn't it?"

Gawain whispered, "I'm so thankful, Roy, I knew when I saw Arya that you didn't treat her badly. ”

"But the matter of overturning the case is definitely not as simple as you imagined, only the temple family has the ability to frame a Sidenian nobleman unknowingly."

“…… So, don't go any further, it's for your own good. You are a good person and should not have died for this. ”

"Is that your answer?" Roy raised an eyebrow.

He didn't say anything more, pushed his chair away, got up and walked out the door.

"Uncle, take care."

Arya hurriedly bowed to Gawain and turned to follow Roy's footsteps.

Gawain hung his head and did not speak.

Roy had already stepped out of the door, he glanced back at Gawain, and said calmly:

"You know what? Arya awakened. ”

"She's going to get ahead, and when she becomes a holy knight as a descendant of the Christian family, I won't allow anyone to point fingers at her with her family's dark history, never."

"Because she's my maid—I'm not nosy, but I'm not going to let anyone else be wronged."

"Mr. Gawain, rest well, the reputation of the Christian family, Arya will help you regain it."

After saying that, he looked back, and this time he was really gone.

Roy and Arya had already walked out of the teahouse, when Gawain's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Arya...... Arya awakened? Is this true! ”

Gawain rushed to the door, his face full of disbelief.

Then, he saw Arya nodding.

The sunlight outside the teahouse swayed on her, as if frozen into a substantial aura, shining around her.

Gawain trembled, and although the vision was subtle, he couldn't be mistaken!

This is a characteristic of being a Holy Knight, and when Arya is promoted to the first order, this aura will cover her whole body, becoming a first-order skill of the Holy Knight-

"Sacred Armor".

"There is no endless road, haha...... The gods favor me Christian! ”

Gawain's eyes moistened suddenly.

He walked out of the teahouse and stood with Roy.

"How do you want me to help you?"

At this time, this down-and-out middle-aged man with a scruffy beard had a deadly determination in his eyes.

The previous generation of the Christian family had no successor, and in his generation, because he and the Ivey brothers had not succeeded in awakening, the Christian family had been criticized by the other families of the Order over the years.

Because the Knights Templar is one of the six special agencies in Sidney, its core members are all inheritors of the knightly profession.

This also means that the Christian family, which has no inheritor, is far away from the power center of the Knights and has become a dispensable existence of the Knights.

He and Ivey's wish has always been that their descendants can awaken to become heirs and help Christian regain his glory, which is also their father's last wish.

He was already disheartened, Arya was almost fifteen years old, and the hope of awakening was getting slimmer.

Since this is the case, it is better to persuade her to accept the reality, stay away from the power struggle, and live a peaceful and stable life as an ordinary person.

But a miracle happened, when he was already desperate, Arya actually awakened and became the inheritor!

So as long as Arya is still around, the Christian family still has the possibility of rising.

For this reason, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Gawain has decided to fight for it at all costs!

If he doesn't help Arya at this time, he will have no shame to face Ivey after he dies, and even more so to face the ancestors of the family!

Saving your life?

Grievances?

None of that matters anymore.

He only knew that if he didn't catch the light in front of him-

He himself will hate himself for the rest of his life!

"Don't put on that expression, Mr. Gawain, we're not going to die."

Roy didn't seem surprised by Gawain's change of attitude, and he smiled.

"Come with me. I am completely sure that the case will be overturned. ”
