Although they won a beautiful battle, the people after the banquet did not lower their vigilance.

After a day of careful deliberation, they finally decided to send a messenger to the palace to ask His Majesty to intervene. In addition, at the suggestion of the mage and Blair, the princess sent several clever knights to the Fort of Orleans to deliberately publicize the results of the battle. They plan to use this result to increase the princess's influence and attract some homeless people to come and defect.

The mage, on the other hand, continued to explore the vicinity of the Eclis Mountains, hoping to find some clues.

Bruno often walked with him in the nearby forest, assisting the mage while he happened to pick herbs. Although he really wanted to quietly set up a laboratory to study potions, he knew in his heart that now was not the time.

As for Ronald, he doesn't pay much attention to retrieving his memory.

He felt that it was more meaningful to live with his friends than to follow his past. Swords can be used not only for revenge, but also for protection.

It doesn't matter where it's used.

The important thing is that you have the strength to be qualified to talk about revenge or protection.

Only by practicing swordsmanship can we calmly cope with the future. As for the ...... of the past That's in the past. Uncle Falar, didn't you laugh at me like that back then......

Looking at the cloudless blue sky, Ronald's blue pupils flashed with a hint of joy.

At the foot of the mountain, it is verdant.

The fresh greenery of early summer, under the warm sun, has begun to grow strongly. The crisp sound of birdsong, from time to time, emerges from the forest, they flutter their wings and hover under the white clouds, looking so leisurely and comfortable.

He twisted his body, took a deep breath, and continued to grip his weapon, beginning to repeat the monotonous movements.

One time, two times......

His shadow gradually shortened from the length of his jaw to a small group.

"Ronald, you're still practicing swords. Annina's voice woke Ronald up: "Uncle Bruno called me over to inform you that it's time to go to lunch." ”

Looking at the smiling face, Ronald quickly scratched his head: "Okay." ”

After walking quietly with each other for a while, Annina couldn't help but count: "I said that you guy, you know how to practice swords every day, and you are not tired?"

He smiled, and suddenly remembered the incident last time, so he teased: "Didn't you hear that guy Blue say last time that my mind is so empty that all I have left is sword practice?"

Anina didn't know how to take it all of a sudden. Suddenly, she jumped out of the way and glared at Ronald with indignation on her face.

Ronald was taken aback and immediately stopped his steps: "What's wrong, Annina?"

"You guy!" Anina cried out angrily, huffing her waist, "You call him Blue, but I'm going to call him uncle!"

"Huh?"

He froze.

What's this......

He cursed in his heart.

Seeing that Anina was still staring at him, Ronald had to mumble helplessly: "Then can you call him by his name, anyway, Blu is also very good at talking......"

"Hee-hee-hee. Annina couldn't help laughing out loud and pointed at the stupid Ronald: "Look at your stupid appearance, you will be scared into a stupid goose with a casual bluff!"

He suddenly realized that Annina's appearance just now was deliberately pretended.

Call.

He also sighed exaggeratedly: "You girl, you are shocked, you don't look good." ”

Anina blinked slyly and nodded word by word: "Yes, yes, Uncle Ronald." Before Ronald could speak, she covered her mouth and laughed to the point of her own laughter.

Looking at the smiling melon seed face, Ronald was also infected and hooked the corners of his mouth. "Haha. He smiled and strode forward: "Let's eat!

When Anina heard this, her face immediately turned cold, and she pretended to be angry there: "Hey, you stinky boy, you dare to call me niece!"

Ronald didn't care about her, just walked briskly to the camp.

Secretly grimacing at the muscular figure, Anina followed with a smile.

When the two returned to the camp, Ronald found that the princess also had a smile on her face, and she looked very energetic.

"You're here. The princess smiled and greeted Ronald and the others: "Lunch is not ready yet, everyone wait first." ”

When everyone was seated, the princess told the news she had just received: "Ladies and gentlemen, the man we sent to preach the results of the battle has returned. ”

Ronald hurriedly spoke: "How did it turn out? I guess it's good news, right?"

"That's right. The princess nodded slightly: "Even better than we expected." Thanks to the scattered deserters, almost all of them don't want us to publicize it, and the neighboring places know that we have annihilated nearly 300 troops with only more than 30 people!"

She paused, and then told them the good news: "The messenger sent to the palace has also brought back a promise from His Majesty--- and he will give Herrington a warning to stop this frivolous dispute at once. ”

Ronald breathed a sigh of relief: "So, we should be able to calm down a bit?"

The mage shook his head slightly, and expressed the worries in his heart: "However, Helrington's side still can't relax, after all, ......" He turned his head to the princess: "He has been secretly in contact with the church for a long time, and the new king has not been on the throne for a long time, and it is still a question whether the regime can be quickly stabilized." ”

At the mention of this, a trace of gloom flashed in the princess's emerald eyes. She understands that before she reached the throne, her brother always looked like a fool.

Tomorrow and tomorrow only know how to have fun, but why does his father value him so much? Her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she began to think about this question that she had been puzzled about.

Blair opened his mouth and said, "Of course, we can't be blindly optimistic. ”

Awakened from her contemplation, the princess hid those doubts in her heart, and her expression quickly turned to watery peace: "That's right, there are still many things waiting for us to complete." She suddenly stared at Ronald: "By the way, I almost forgot!"

Ronald looked at her quizzically.

Victoria raised her slender white fingers, "You haven't sworn allegiance to be my knight, Lord Ronald." ”

The armor shook slightly, and the sound rang out.

The next moment, she suddenly stood up straight, protected her chest with her right hand, and gave a standard knightly salute to Ronald and the others: "But, I have changed my decision now." ”

After looking up, Victoria looked at the four people who were full of doubts seriously and seriously: "Now I don't have the pride worthy of your loyalty. So, I have decided that I will stand as an ally and work with you!"

Hearing the princess's decision, Ronald and the others couldn't help but be stunned for a while. When they came back to their senses, they looked at each other and used their eyes to communicate each other's wishes. Finally, they also stood up and looked earnestly at the princess with a solemn expression.

The mage slowly spoke: "Thank Her Highness the princess for taking it so seriously, we should do our best to assist you. ”

The corners of the princess's mouth were slightly raised, and a flower-like smile bloomed on her delicate goose egg face: "Then, let's work together to gain a firm foothold in the Ekris Mountains!"

Meanwhile.

Rhodes and his party finally succeeded in returning to the royal city of the Turing Kingdom.

When they entered the city, they did not bother to get a good rest, but after a hurried meal at the tavern, they went straight in the direction of the church.

"Lord Bishop, Knight Rhodes has come to report to you. As soon as he saw the bishop, Rhodes immediately bowed his head respectfully, and protected his chest with his right hand: "Thank you for the blessing of the Supreme God, we have successfully completed this mission." ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the Most High God, you have returned safely. Steve, the regional bishop in a white robe with gold ---, raised his hand slightly, signaling that Rod didn't need to be polite. He looked at the young knight with an eye full of the elder's kindness: "Tell me about the process of the battle. ”

After listening carefully, the wrinkles on Bishop Steve's already old forehead seemed to become more numerous: "So, you met a group of adventurers halfway, so the task will be much easier than expected?"

The dwarf Paladin interjected with a big grin, "That's right, a very powerful young magic swordsman, a dark mage and an assassin. Then, he described the appearance of the three in detail.

The bishop's brow furrowed even more, and his tone became cold: "Paladin, since you have discovered the aura of darkness, why don't you destroy it together?"

In the face of the bishop's questioning, Paladin didn't care, he spread his hands: "I'm just a mercenary now, and I don't have any money to meddle in my affairs, so I won't be stupid like that." ”

"The sprout in the darkness should be strangled at the tender age. Having said that, Bishop Steve sighed slightly, and said nothing to this old friend: "That mage and assassin should be the person wanted by the church." ”

He lowered his head, carefully recalled the list in his mind, and quickly made an affirmation: "That's right. That dark mage should be the one who studied necromancy, Christine Torren. He stared at the dwarven warrior with a nonchalant face, and deliberately strengthened his tone: "Necromancy, that's blasphemy!"

"Don't talk to me, dear Bishop Steve. It's said that I'm just a mercenary, and it doesn't matter to me if it's blasphemous or not. The dwarven warrior just shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head towards the orc swordsman: "Then you tell the zealots at the Inquisition...... Isn't that right, old man?"

The green-skinned orc didn't speak, he spread his hands noncommittally.

Hearing that slight mutter, Bishop Steve didn't want to continue on with it: "Alright, alright. Regardless, you've managed to thwart the Chaos Orbits' plot. ”

"Rest well, I guess you'll get new orders soon. He waved his hand lightly and motioned for everyone to step back: "The situation has become more and more tense recently. The Holy See is ready to use the glory of the Light to influence those of the faithless people. ”

The dwarf was silent for a while, and then walked out quickly with the orc: "If you like to fight, you can fight, it has nothing to do with me." When he was about to go out, he suddenly turned his head: "My old friend, don't let the worldly strife blind your mind." ”

"Watch your words and deeds, Paladin. The words were very harsh, but Bishop Steve waved his hand weakly: "This is not the Yashan Castle, if you criticize the church at will, it is easy to get yourself into trouble." At that point, even I won't be able to help you. ”

"Come on. Hearing the reminder of his old friend, the dwarf's heart was hot, but his mouth was still stubborn: "I know in my heart, of course I will take care of myself." He looked up at the green-skinned orc, "Old man, let's go to the tavern for a drink!"

Looking at the back of his departed old friend with a wry smile, Bishop Steve couldn't help but think back to the adventurous times of his youth.

Not long after lingering in the memories of the past, a priest's message sounded outside the door: "Your Excellency, Father Maxim of Manchester Town, I have sent a letter. ”

After opening the letter and reading through the contents, the bishop couldn't help frowning slightly: "Tell Maximinu that I can't help him in this matter." ”

The priest bowed, just about to leave.

Bishop Steve raised his hand. Looking at the priest who was quietly waiting for the order, he was silent for a moment, and then added softly: "You told him, it's not that I don't want to help, but that heresy is involved." ”

The priest nodded hurriedly: "I see, Lord Bishop. ”

Looking at the backs of his men who hurriedly left, the bishop couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The upright child......
