Chapter Seventy-Four: Knight Mercenary Regiment (Eight Watches, Moonlight for the Alliance Leader)
Early the next morning, Roy and Arya packed up their salutes in the mansion and waited for Cynthia's arrival.
Today, Arya is not wearing a knightly uniform, but is dressed in silver-white armor, with a sword at her waist and a shield in her left hand.
After Cynthia's visit, Arya took on the task of guarding, but made it possible for Roy to accompany her.
For this condition, Cynthia readily agreed.
With the strength of her eighth-order holy knight, she was not short of sheltering one more person.
There was even a faint thought in her heart, that is, through this wilderness trip, she wanted to make this young man realize that Arya's strength would be bigger and bigger with him.
Arya Christian, in the near future, will become the vice-head of the Holy Order, the top of the Sidneys.
She will no longer be a little maid of the down-and-out young master's family.
After arriving at Arnold's Mansion, Cynthia took the two to the door of the Knights' headquarters and met Jiang Qiyi, who was waiting there.
"Roy, you're there too?"
Seeing him, Jiang Yiyu showed a look of surprise.
After all, when the two said goodbye in the dungeon yesterday afternoon, Roy didn't reveal that he wanted to go to the wilderness together.
"I'm with her." Roy numbled his mouth.
Jiang Yiyi looked at the blonde girl beside him: "Who is this?" β
"Arya Christian, you've probably heard her name, the new lawgiver of the Holy Knights."
Cynthia stepped forward and introduced each other, "This is Researcher Jiang Xuan, and our mission this time is to protect her safety and ensure that she can recover the lost medicine of the research institute in the wilderness." β
The two girls looked at each other, and then, Arya stretched out her hand first, "Please take care of me, Researcher Jiang." β
While stretching out her hand, she was also secretly looking at the other party.
Her long chestnut hair was tied with dark blue ribbons, and she had no extra ornaments on her body, and she wore a very low-key dark coat, but she could still get a glimpse of her delicate figure.
This young researcher Jiang actually has a beauty that is not lost to any girl of the same age, and his blue eyes are also very good-looking, but he seems to have some dark circles under his eyes because of his recent hard work, which is the only fly in the ointment.
Looking at her, Arya's heart tightened for no reason, and a sense of crisis quietly spread in her heart.
That's not to say she's ashamed.
When Arya was still in school at Kassel Elementary School, she was pursued by many boys crazily, but in terms of appearance, she has always maintained a lot of confidence in herself.
It's just that when there is a person of the opposite sex who you care about standing next to you, whether it is a man or a woman, you will naturally maintain a psychology of comparison and competition with the same sex.
Then, she suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and sneered secretly, Arya, Arya, when did you become such a childish girl, this is not like the usual you.
On the other side, Jiang Yiyi reached out and shook it back, also observing Arya.
She knows more about Arya than she knows anything about her.
She didn't know Arya before, but during this time, under the vigorous publicity of the newspaper media, almost everyone who paid attention to current affairs knew about the glorious deeds of the blonde girl:
Arya Christian, who is only fourteen years old, investigates alone after her family is wronged, and finally finds clues to rehabilitation, resolutely goes to the dungeon to confront the murderer, kills him, and finally clears the family's grievances.
And on the day of the Divine Apocalypse at the age of fifteen, he was recognized by the Ritsu Sword Cheyvaus during the Holy Land Tour, and became the thirty-fifth legal envoy of Sidney, and was subsequently admitted by the Holy Knights.
Became the second Knight of the Holy Order.
Even if Jiang Qiyi has the bloodline of the Temple family, her cultivation talent is quite excellent among her peers, and in her alma mater, Hogwarts Primary College, her strength has always been in the top two among her peers.
But in front of Arya, the pride of the sky, she can only be convinced.
After all, when she became a lawyer, the level between them was no longer on the same level.
This is simply an ordinary life resume.
Merely......
Jiang Qiyi always felt that the eyes of this blonde-haired genius girl looking at her were a little strange.
Maybe it's an illusion.
The two shook hands, then quickly let go.
As if sensing the slightly unfamiliar atmosphere between each other, Roy played a round on the side and said:
"We are actually the same age, so we don't have to be so angry, we will temporarily become teammates in the next period of time, and we will tolerate and take care of each other!"
Arya nodded, calmed down, and greeted Jiang Yiyi again: "Classmate Jiang Qiyi, I don't have a lot of combat experience, in the next peers, if you have any needs or suggestions, please feel free to put them forward." β
"Oh, oh, okay......"
Jiang looked at Roy hesitantly, and then at Arya.
So, what is the relationship between these two?
And, since it was a guard mission for the Holy Knights, why did Roy get involved in it?
Arya is obviously a lawyer, and her status is so noble that she will be escorted by a strong person like Cynthia even when she goes out to practice, but Roy's attitude towards her is not restrained at all......
Even faintly dominates the conversation!?
Cynthia, who was on the side, clapped her hands and cut to the chase: "So, let's get ready to go, Arya, you go and lead your horse." Roy, are you going to ride a horse? Or is it sitting in Jiang Yiyi's carriage? β
"I'll just sit in the car." Roy shook his head.
Horseback riding was a basic skill of the nobleman, and he had naturally learned it before, but since he could hitchhike, he still chose to sit comfortably in the carriage.
Arya followed the instructions and went to the knights' horses and pulled out a white horse.
When she joined the group yesterday, Leon prepared a white Erlan thoroughbred for her, and this time she went to the wilderness just to ride it to get familiar with the feeling of riding.
Soon, everyone was ready to go.
Jiang Yiyi drove the carriage full of supplies, Roy sat in the carriage, and Arya and Cynthia rode to the left and right of the carriage.
Before leaving, Cynthia finally said, "I won't interfere too much with you in this mission. When you encounter a problem, you can discuss it on your own, and you don't need to consult me for advice.
"Unless you encounter a situation that you can't solve, I won't help you easily, and I hope you can overcome all kinds of difficulties on your own until the task is completed, and you don't need my help.
"Then, from now on, your mission has officially begun."
Roy, Arya, and Jiang Yiyi glanced at each other, and Jiang Yiyi took the lead in speaking: "Then, let's go out of the city now." β
"But before we get out of the city, we need to think about how to get out of the city."
Roy said slowly, "As far as I know, there are three ways to get the defenders to let us out of the city:
"One, hold a license document from the West Terria Special Agency.
"Two, become a mercenary and have a mercenary listing.
"Three, issue a commission in the mercenary guild, become an employer, and be accompanied by a mercenary.
"Jiang Yiyi, do you have the permission document given to you by the research institute to go out of the city?"
Jiang Yiyi's face froze: "No ......"
She had never even been to Downtown before yesterday, so how could she possibly know what formalities were required to get out of the city?
The institute didn't inform her about the procedures for leaving the city, and she thought it was the same as going to the lower city, and she only needed to show her proof of residence.
"I see."
Roy touched his chin, thoughtful.
It stands to reason that with Crane's intelligence support, the Institute should know that a large amount of burning blood has been taken out of the city by the Northern Crow Mercenary Regiment.
But they didn't give Jiang a permission to leave the city, and they didn't even give him a warning.
It is conceivable that if Jiang Qiyi went to Xiacheng District and was told that he needed permission documents to leave the city, he would have to return to the research institute to make up for the documents, which would be a waste of time.
"In that case, there is no need to go out of the city."
Roy clapped his hands and said, "Let's just go directly to the Mercenary Guild and apply to become a mercenary." β
Jiang Yiyi opened her mouth, she had never thought of becoming a mercenary in order to get out of the city.
But when you think about it, there's nothing wrong with Roy's logic.
So she looked at Arya, wanting to hear what she had to say.
In Jiang Yiyi's subconscious, Arya, as a lawyer, should be the leader of the three-person team, but she didn't expect Arya's reaction to surprise her again.
She didn't seem to have any intention of expressing her opinion, and after Roy made a decision, she subconsciously nodded, as if she trusted his judgment unconditionally.
Seeing Jiang Yiyi looking at her, Arya blinked her eyes in confusion: "Classmate Jiang Qiyi, what's wrong?" β
"It's okay......"
Jiang Yiyi retracted his gaze, and a few whips were whipped on the two horses pulling the cart, "Then let's go to the Mercenary Guild." β
So, under Roy's guidance, the four of them went to the door of the Mercenary Guild in the lower city.
"There are so many people." Looking at the endless crowd at the entrance of the Mercenary Guild, Jiang Qi hesitated slightly.
In this crowd, there was a strong smell of sweat mixed with the smell of alcohol, and everyone was making a loud noise, with all kinds of cordial greetings in between, which made her from the academy a little at a loss for a while.
At this point, Roy jumped out of the carriage.
During the time he was in the carriage, he had sorted out the supplies in the carriage, made room for himself to lie comfortably, and spread a layer of bedding on it.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, and considering that this is a long-term task of being away for several days, making sure you have a comfortable resting environment is the first priority.
Roy understood that this was Jiang Qiyi's first time in the Mercenary Guild, so after saying "wait here", he squeezed into the crowd alone.
Then I went to the counter and asked for five forms from the receptionist.
"Four mercenary application forms, just fill in your name, year of birth and today's date."
Roy said while handing out the form, "There is also an application form for a mercenary group, I just asked, the four of them can already form a mercenary group, but this level of mercenary group, they call it a mercenary team......
"Of course it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we need to take the name of a mercenary group now, what do you think is better?"
Everyone's eyes first subconsciously looked at Cynthia, seeing that she didn't have the idea of making a suggestion, and then looked at Roy.
"Don't look at me." Roy smiled wryly, "I'm a named shit. β
As he spoke, his gaze swept down to the carriage.
His salute was also placed in the carriage, which included the spiritual compound crossbow he called "Black Sniper".
With his talent for naming, he will only take the unpretentious name of "black sniper".
"I'm not very good at it."
Jiang Qiyi also excused himself, "When I used to do experiments, but I used code codes to name experiments, and I really wasn't good at this." β
So, the pressure came to Arya's side.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Arya had no choice but to quickly turn her little brain, and then a flash of inspiration:
"Then it's calledβthe Knight Mercenary Regiment, how about it?"
Roy: "......"
Jiang Xuan: "......"
It seems that this one is even more heavyweight.
But on the bright side, no matter how unclear the knight mercenary group is, it is always more serious than the maid mercenary group, right?
When the three named wastes get together, no one can say whom.
Fortunately, the name of the mercenary group was not important, they only needed the identity of a mercenary to go to the wilderness, and after everyone filled out the form, Roy took it back and squeezed it back into the crowd of the mercenary guild.
With Roy's temporary departure, the atmosphere gradually cooled down, and during the time of waiting for someone, Jiang Qiyi coughed lightly and found a topic to talk about:
"I didn't expect Roy to even know these procedures in the lower city, no wonder Klein said he could help me.
"Arya-san, you seem to know him well, are you relatives?"
"Not really."
Arya hurriedly waved her hand, "We are...... Well, the relationship between classmates and friends. β
She remembered that Roy had told her many times not to reveal her identity as a maid and knight to others, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Classmates? Oh, you're from Kassel Elementary Academy, I'm a fourth-year student at Hodvog Elementary Academy. β
Jiang Yiyi nodded, "I heard that this fourth-year student in Kassel has a direct descendant of the Temple Family, named Qin Xiang, his strength should be particularly strong, right?" β
"It should ...... Strong, right? I'm not very sure. Arya shook her head slightly.
She really didn't understand how strong Qin Xiang's strength was, although she and Qin Xiang were both classmates in Class 1, but when she hadn't dropped out of school, she wasn't a inheritor yet, and she hadn't come into contact with Kassel's inheritor circle.
So I don't know much about Qin Xiang.
But this shaking of the head has another meaning in Jiang Qiyi's eyes.
Whether it is the inheritors of Kassel Elementary Academy or Hodvough Elementary Academy, after graduation, they all have to enter the Inheritor Academy for further study, so they will naturally pay attention to the situation of the inheritors of the same class in other schools.
And Qin Xiang was the only direct member of the Temple Family among their inheritors this time, and he attracted everyone's attention.
Moreover, it is no secret that he often entertains the inheritor classmates and invites them to the Qin family's mansion for dinner.
After such a long period of contact, how could Arya, as her classmate of the same school, not know how strong Qin Xiang was?
Jiang pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt that he had grasped the point.
Originally, among his peers in this session, Qin Xiang was indeed a well-deserved first.
But now that Arya has become a lawyer, it is still unknown who is the first.
After all, the status of the legal envoy can be equal to that of the temple family.
In other words, Arya's answer to the phrase "It should be strong, right?" I'm not very clear" is what it really means:
Yes, at the age of fifteen, he became a noble lawyer, and it is only natural that he should have pride in his heart for such an achievement. praising others in front of her is indeed a bit brainless.
So, when she looked at Arya, she couldn't help but feel a faint jealousy.
This gifted law envoy knight doesn't seem to be as harmless to humans and animals as he seems......
