In the evening, back at Arnold House, Roy was slightly stunned.

Renaud left with all his retainers, and Arya went to the Knights' headquarters to report that there was no one in the house before she left home.

But now the situation here is completely different - there are two guards standing at the door, and a few servants cleaning the mansion.

At first glance, he thought he was in the wrong place.

After confirming the door number again and again, Roy muttered in his heart, and walked towards the mansion, the guards at the door glanced at him, and one of them shouted: "May I ask Your Excellency, why are you visiting Arnold Mansion?" ”

Roy's expression became weird, and he pointed to his face: "I'm Roy Arnold." You don't know me, why do you still look at my door? ”

"Roy!"

Arya's voice came from far and near, and after noticing the young man at the door, she hurriedly came out of the house.

She was still wearing the red and white Knights' uniform she had worn when she left in the morning, and she was accompanied by Cynthia Wilson, the deputy head of the Holy Order.

"Lord Cynthia."

Roy nodded at Arya, then bowed to Cynthia.

"Don't blame the guards for not knowing you, they're here to report on the first day."

Cynthia laughed, "Arya is the lawgiver of Sidney and the future deputy head of the Holy Knights, how can she live in a mansion that doesn't even have the most basic guards and domestic servants?"

"Of course, I hope you don't get me wrong, these squires are not people arranged by the Knights, but Arya herself selected and recruited, and the contract is also signed by Arya and them, and has nothing to do with the Knights."

The guards on the side finally understood the identity of the young man at this time, and immediately bent down: "It turned out to be Lord Roy, please forgive us for our rudeness." ”

"Master......" Roy twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Renault has only been away for half a day, and he has been promoted from young master to master in this family?

Arya said with some embarrassment, "Because they work in Arnold House, I signed your name in the employer column of the contract at the time. ”

Signing? Roy was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the guard compliment: "Thank you Madame for signing us with such a generous treatment, we will definitely do our duty faithfully and repay the appreciation of the lord and the madame." ”

"Madame......"

Roy was completely dumbfounded, Arya lowered her head and didn't refute, her face quickly stained with a blush.

This guard can talk when he is small.

"Ahem!"

Cynthia on the side coughed vigorously, "Arya, as the master who guided your cultivation during this time, it is necessary for me to remind you that now is the best age for you to improve your strength, don't be distracted by other things." ”

"I understand."

Arya answered, not knowing if she really listened, "It's getting late, Lord Cynthia, stay here for a meal." ”

Cynthia nodded and agreed: "I just have something to say to you, so let's talk while eating." ”

Arya was a little caught off guard, but still had a smile on her face: "Okay." ”

It was just polite, but after such a rich and fulfilling day, she had countless things to talk to Roy.

However, since Cynthia has spoken, it is necessary to maintain respect for her no matter what.

Cynthia Wilson, in her early thirties, is not only the deputy head of the Knights and a powerful eighth-order holy knight, but she will also become her first teacher on the path of inheritance cultivation.

For the six months before she entered the Inheritor Academy, Cynthia would be in charge of her training and cultivation.

The three of them took their seats in the main hall one after another, except that Roy did not sit in the chair where Renault had previously sit, but sat in the side seat as usual with Arya, and Cynthia sat opposite.

The waiter brings the delicacies to him, and the tempting aroma spreads and makes people appetizing.

Arya's new chef undoubtedly possesses Sidney's top culinary skills, and in terms of the appearance of these dishes in front of him, they are not far behind the dishes at the Qin family's dinner.

But if you think about it, it's not a big deal, since it's an equal to the temple family, it's not a surprise to enjoy the best food at home.

At this level, money is the least valuable thing.

From now on, they will have to gradually adapt to these changes in the details of their lives.

Although it was a chat while eating, Cynthia did not have this habit, and after she finished her dinner silently and attentively, the two of them had eaten almost before meeting, and then she spoke:

"Roy, you should have already seen Jiang Yiyi."

Roy understood in his heart and nodded, "Lord Leon must have read Mr. Crane's letter to him." ”

"The Paladine family and the Florentine family have reached a partnership, and we will help Jiang Yiyi fulfill her mission in the wilderness."

Cynthia looked solemn, "This is also something I am going to discuss with you." ”

Roy blinked in confusion, not knowing what it had to do with him and Arya.

He had already told Jiang Yiyi the address of the Black Flag gathering place, and then Jiang Yiyi only needed to take the guards of the Holy Knights to the wilderness.

Could it be ......

As if to confirm the speculation that had just surfaced in his mind, Cynthia nodded, "Lord Leon would like to ask Arya if she would be interested in taking on this escort mission. ”

"Lyon...... Are adults serious? ”

Roy resisted the urge to complain, "Arya's current strength isn't even second-order!" ”

"Of course I won't let Arya go alone."

Cynthia smiled slightly, "We value Arya more than anyone else, how could we let her go to the wilderness alone?" If Arya is willing to take on this mission, I will go with her in the name of protection.

"With me, let alone the wilderness, even in the upper world of the World Tree, I have the confidence to protect Arya's safety.

"As for why I wanted Arya to take on this task, it's because Lord Leon and I agree that this is a good opportunity for Arya to get experience.

"Actual combat is the only and fast way for the inheritor to become stronger, and it is certainly okay to let Arya go to the World Tree for training, but she will enroll in the Inheritor Academy in half a year, and she will have a lot of time in the World Tree.

"The opportunity to train in the wilderness is very rare, not to mention ordinary people, even inheritors rarely go outside the walls, and this is also a good opportunity for Arya to increase her knowledge.

"Of course, this is just our suggestion, and the final choice is still in Arya's hands."

So, the eyes of the two looked at Arya.

Arya tilted her head in confusion, and then asked, "Excuse me......

"Who is Jiang Yiyi?"

The point is this?

Roy couldn't help but laugh: "She's a trainee researcher at the Inheritor Research Institute, and she's going to the wilderness to track down the drug leak......"

He briefly sorted out the cause and effect, and Arya nodded and looked at Cynthia, "Give me some time to think about it, okay?" ”

Cynthia's gaze wandered between the two of them for a moment, then she stood up and said, "I'll come over tomorrow morning and tell me what you think."

"If you're willing to take on the mission, be ready to go to the wilderness tonight, and we'll leave right tomorrow."

The two of them sent Cynthia to the door, looking at her back as she got into the carriage and left, Arya's body leaned a little closer to Roy's side, and asked:

"Young Master, what do you think I should do?"

"You......"

Roy helplessly raised his forehead, "From today onwards, you are already a knight in your own right, even the most powerful people in West Denia will listen to your thoughts, why don't you try to make your own decisions?" ”

"I'm afraid you'......"

Arya spoke, and said expectantly, "But I'm your maid and knight?" I'm sure I'll have to ask for your opinion. ”

"You, you, you big-headed ghost!"

Roy pinched her face angrily and funny, pulling her cheeks bulging,

"Why can't you get rid of the bad problem of using honorifics, it seems so raw, I even suspect that you have a tendency to shake m."

"Mmmm......mmmm

Arya didn't understand what it meant, but she didn't stop Roy from pinching her face until he put down his hand, and Arya rubbed her red cheeks and said,

"I don't know what happened in the wilderness, I haven't been in contact with the researcher named Jiang Qiyi, and I don't understand what this guard mission represents, so I can't make a choice.

"If the young master knows anything, please tell me."

"That's the answer." Roy clapped his hands and replied satisfied, "Originally, I was most worried about your safety, but since Cynthia has decided to be your bodyguard, I am also relieved."

"Arya, remember the classmate we met in Downtown, named Nightingale?

"She was attacked by gangsters in the dungeon and almost got into an accident, but we saved her. And the reason why the other party has the power to rival the inheritor is because they drank a forbidden medicine called burning blood.

"This drug is the result of research research, and it is extremely dangerous because it causes the person who takes it to lose their mind and die. It was supposed to be destroyed, but it was used by someone with a heart and became a murder weapon to kill others. ”

"And that researcher named Jiang Qiyi went to the wilderness precisely to recover and destroy this medicine."

"I see, I guess I understand." Arya tilted her head, "Say, she's doing the right thing—right?" ”

Roy nodded.

"In that case, there's nothing to hesitate about."

Arya said with a serious face, "Young Master, let's go and help her together." ”

"So decisive? Don't think about it anymore? ”

Roy looked at her serious expression and poured cold water and said, "The wilderness is not so fun, not only are natural disasters raging, fierce beasts are around, and it is likely that there will be killers staring at us."

"Along the way, I can only eat some dry food, I have to cheer up all the time, and I have to take turns to keep vigil and sleep badly, and there is no way to keep my body clean at all times......

"Have you thought about all these aspects?"

Arya pondered for a moment, and instead of answering these questions directly, she said softly:

"Young master, I have always felt that I am very lucky and grateful that there will be so many people who are willing to stand up and help when my family is unjustly in a desperate situation.

"Not only the young master, but also Mr. Crane, and everyone of the Black Flag Mercenary Regiment who fought together in the dungeon, even the Sister Qin Liu who didn't take it lightly, I also have a great sense of gratitude to her.

"Everyone's gentleness and faith are like torches that have enabled me to survive the darkness before the dawn comes. I've always wanted to do something for others, and now I have the power to protect them.

"I am willing to use my power for others, and I also want to be a torch and be the light that illuminates the darkness of others."

She raised her head, her eyes gentle but determined, "It would be my honor as a knight to save even one person because of this. ”

"Really......"

Arya looked at him with a clear and powerful gaze, and Roy nodded, "Now that you've made your decision, go ahead." ”

"Hmm!"

Arya smiled, "I'll go prepare tomorrow's luggage, young master, do you want to prepare a horse?" Or do you want to ride in a carriage? ”

"Me?" Royce paused, "I'm going too?" ”

"Aren't you worried about the Black Flag friends? Uncle should want to see you too. ”

Roy hesitated a little: "That being said, but this mission is a wilderness practice specially prepared for you by Leon and Cynthia, will it be a little inappropriate for me to go?" ”

He had always had a strong curiosity about the wilderness, and since Black Flag needed help at this time, it was not impossible to do his part.

But he couldn't figure out Cynthia's attitude towards him joining the team.

Until now, Cynthia had been polite to him, but it was clear that she didn't want him to get too close to Arya.

She thinks that Arya should concentrate on cultivation at this time, and there is nothing wrong with this reason, and this escort mission is Arya's first actual combat training when she joins the Knights.

If you think about it from another perspective, Cynthia must hope that Arya can devote herself to her cultivation, and she is reluctant to let him get involved in this escort mission.

"It's okay, we don't have to worry about that!"

Arya straightened her small and weighty chest, and her eyes showed a hint of girlish cunning, "I'm a dignified lawyer, what's wrong with bringing an entourage when I go on a mission?" ”

It's broken, I'm a follower. Roy couldn't stop laughing.

"If Cynthia-sama doesn't want to, I'll be, I'll ......"

"You're just?"

"I'll beg her!"

Roy Waner: "Can you not say such humble things in such a tough tone?"

"Okay, okay, I understand, tomorrow morning, I'll go with you."

"Yay!" Arya shook her fist, her eyes full of joy.

Seeing her emotions so high, Roy couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and then raised his eyes to look at the dark night sky, and his eyes gradually sank.

The Black Flag Mercenary Regiment, I wonder what their situation is in the wilderness at this time?

He actually admired Black Flag, the dungeon was a decaying, hopeless dungeon, and they managed to escape from the dungeon, find a refuge in the dangerous wilderness, and establish their home.

They thought that their hard days would come to an end with the implementation of the satellite project, but unexpectedly, a group of vampires wanted to compete for their gathering place, trying to take away all the accumulation they had accumulated in the wilderness for years.

It's not just them, all the people who live in the wilderness represented by the Black Flag Mercenary Regiment, they are just a group of survivors who want to escape from the dark underground and find a home in the wilderness.

They are the ones who really deserve to be blessed and protected by the satellite program.

They shouldn't fall prey to the superiors competing for interests, and then die in a wilderness where birds don't, and in the end they won't even have a tombstone left.

Satellite city, it should be their city.
