Chapter 4 The Old Man

"Guardian Knight?" After a moment's thought, Amia gave an accurate reply, "Guardian Knight, it's already there. ”

"What, when. Sister, you didn't even tell me such an important thing. ”

Renee pounced on Catlea again, as if to ask for an explanation, but in that way, no matter how she looked, it looked like she was coquettish.

Catlea glanced slightly, and in Renee's eyes, she was as shy as usual, but where Emia was, she could just see her face, and there was a hint of melancholy on her delicate face.

Emia doesn't know what kind of promise Manna gave Catlea, but if she is forced to sign an unequal contract, even if the other party is a god, she will be unhappy.

Try to repay her in the future!, Remia turned his head, he didn't want to see a sad expression on his face.

He didn't notice the determination in Catalia's eyes as he turned his head.

Emia would never have thought that in order to make the relationship between him and Catalia harmonious and not to be hidden, Manna did not use the identity of a god to coerce Catalia at all, but to lure, more precisely, seduction.

Cut and carefully optimize Emia's life experience to make a tragic heroic epic for Catalia to watch. For Catria, who has little contact with the opposite sex, or even with outsiders, and is silent in knight novels all day long, it is natural for her to have a longing and affection for Hermia.

As for why Catalia is melancholy, it is indeed because of the contract, but she is worried that the contract between her and Emia is just a simple link, and after finding a better option, Emia will leave her.

The bell in the carriage rang suddenly, which was a sign that the destination had been reached. The sound insulation of the carriage was very good, and the attendants could not necessarily make the slightest sound inside the carriage when they shouted outside, and it was impossible for the all-male attendants to break into the carriage directly, so this bell came into being.

The three of them stepped out of the carriage one after another, and since they were in a relatively close place, Emia was the last to get off. And when Emia stepped out of the carriage, there was only one coachman left outside the carriage, and even the coachman ignored Amia and took the carriage away on his own.

It stands to reason that Emia has a life-saving grace for them, and these attendants should not be, but it is actually Emia's own fault.

The sand lizards killed by Emia do not actually attack humans, they only act at night and eat creatures other than humans in the wasteland, and Sharon Scroll is a sacrificial spell that they must cast when they die, sacrificing themselves to attack the nearest creature.

The characteristics of the sand lizard protect the peace of this land, so that the people in the wasteland do not have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts. As a result, the sand lizard is revered as a patron saint by the people here, and the sharon scroll is considered a blasphemous punishment.

Therefore, not only did Emia not save their lives, but almost killed them, how could this group of attendants give Emiya a good face. Coupled with Josephine's provocation, their image of Emiah is even worse.

"Looks like I'm going to have to sleep out today. Looking at the dark sky, Amiya sighed helplessly, "Why don't you go out and have a look?"

Since it is known as the City of Miracles, there are still places to stay, as long as you come back early tomorrow. Thinking about it, Emia felt that this method was feasible, and the most important thing was that from the moment the contract was signed, Emia could vaguely feel Catria's position, and she was not afraid of losing it.

"Is this going to be a farewell without saying goodbye?"

As soon as Emia turned to leave, there was a sound of obstruction behind her. Turning his head, he saw an old man coming out of the darkness.

The old man looked to be over seventy years old, skinny as a corpse crawling out of a coffin, and if it weren't for those sharp eyes, no one would think he was still alive.

This person, in fact, Amia noticed it early on, and thought it was just a guard, but now it doesn't seem to be so simple.

"The owner was not hospitable, so I had to go out and find a place to rest by myself. Amiya turned around, looked squarely at the old man in front of him, who looked like he was about to die, and replied lightly.

"Ahem! It's not the old man's. A faint word came out of the old man's mouth, "Josephine's boy is too narrow-minded to learn all day long, if old John knew that his only grandson was like this now, he would probably have to jump out of the cemetery, ahem." ”

The old man seemed to be the owner of the place and a friend of Josephine's grandfather, but it was clear from his words that he was not here to vent his anger for Josephine.

"Boy, you are a friend of the second young lady, it is said that the old man should treat you well, please come in, but there is something that needs to be asked before this. ”

Counting the real age, I am too young to be your grandfather. For the dissatisfaction with the old man's name, Emiya can only bury it in his heart, who told him to look like a young man in his twenties from the outside.

Without waiting for Amiya to agree, a series of questions came out of the old man's mouth, "Where do you live, who are some of the people in the family, and do you have a title?"

Emia looked at the old man a little speechlessly, but when she thought about it, Catlea was relieved to have the status of the duke's daughter. There is nothing to say about these things.

"Alone, the world is home, and there is no title. ”

Originally, Emia wanted to add a sentence that although he didn't have a title, he had the identity of a divine envoy to see what the old man's reaction was, but after thinking about it, he forgot it.

"And you're a wizard?"

"Not really. ”

"Then you can go! The daughter of the Duke's family is not something you can climb. ”

Amiya secretly said in his heart, 'Sure enough', the development of the situation was the same as he thought, there was no trace of surprise, and Amia didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"What if I don't go?" Amia flatly refused the old man's request, and although she now pretended to agree that it would be much less trouble to wait for Catlia to follow after she left, Amia disdained to do so.

"Well, so young man!" the old man shook his head slightly, his face full of helplessness, as if he was blaming him for his ignorance of the world.

The old man withdrew his hands from his sleeves and protruded from the collar, and his coat was withdrawn to his waist, revealing the black vest inside.

The black tight-fitting vest was tightly attached to the old man's upper body, and the ribs were clearly visible, completely like a skeleton covered in human skin.

However, Emia did not dare to despise the old man, and the slightest invisible momentum emanated from the old man's body, making people feel that what was standing in front of him was not an old man who was about to rot, but a fierce beast that chose people to devour.

"Since you don't want to leave by yourself, you can only do it yourself. ”

The old man had already put on a posture and was ready to attack, but Emia was not polite, and released the momentum he had cultivated over the years.

A battle is inevitable.
