Gorgeous dresses, beautiful music, and crystal magic lights that are worth thousands of dollars make the whole dance floor look like a dream. Ladies and gentlemen with masks and smiles are dancing gracefully, and years of social training have made their every movement very in place without losing their style.

When the soldiers on the front line are fighting for the country, these nobles go to enjoy the peace of life in exchange, drink high-quality wine to their heart's content, and ** in the name of socializing. Marlowe's army is closing in, and the front line is not far away. This is already the hinterland of southern Carthage, and Luxembourg on the front line had fallen a month earlier.

The royal family commanded there retreated to the southern hinterland, the geographically advantageous and strong-walled city of Sarasin. The environment here is really good compared to the difficult front, because as the largest city in the south, it has a developed industry, and the city is surrounded by large plantations, which can provide the city with everything it needs.

The soldiers who were originally fighting on the front line can be fully cultivated here, or it can be said that they are corrupted by matter. Anyone who stays here will not want to go anywhere else, after all, this is the former royal capital of Carthage, and the prosperity here is rarely seen anywhere else on the mainland, and the wealth of wealthy Carthage has built it into a city of enchantment.

"Have you heard? A girl came from a village in a fallen area. On the ornate wine table next to the dance floor, two nobles were talking about what they heard: "She actually said that she heard the voice of God, and came to the rescue of Carthage, which was in distress, and asked the Grand Duke of Obas to finance her to go to the front to recover the lost territory." ”

"Haha...... Is it another commoner who was frightened mad by the Maro?" The nobleman with a mustache who heard the words of his companion smiled and said, "Let's not talk about what a woman can do, she actually says that she can hear the voice of God, does she think that she is the chosen warrior of God? ”

"yes. The nobleman with thick eyebrows also laughed and said, "There is no divine mark on her forehead, although the strength of that girl is a little greater, but most of the girls in the countryside are so rude, and there is nothing strange about it." Although it is unknown how she managed to convince the two guards to take her to the Grand Duke of Obas, they were both driven out. ”

"Did that girl come to Sarasin alone?" the mustachioed nobleman asked strangely when he heard the words of his companion, "I don't know how many monsters there are on the way from the front line, how did she come here safely as a girl?"

"Who knows. The thick-eyebrow nobleman raised his eyebrows, took a sip of red wine and said, "Maybe it came with the rout, there are not many places on the front line that have not yet been defeated." Although most of them have retreated to the vicinity, there are still some people from small and unimportant places who are only here now. ”

"Boy, I think I've seen you there. Serpo, who was listening to the two nobles, was suddenly grabbed by a man on the shoulder and said, "Last time, it seems that you rode a horse and rescued the blond man." When Serpo heard this, he knew why he was stopped, and it seemed that he did not know that it was the nobleman who had been hated by Triste, who happened to remember his appearance and attended the ball here.

"Sorry you recognized the wrong person. Serpo turned to look at the four men behind him and said with a smile, "I've never seen you before, and I don't know if you've seen me there." As for what you said, I saved a man, and I'm sorry I didn't come to that. Those are the tunes that you natural aristocrats like to play, and I only like women. ”

When Serpo saw the outfits of these four people, he already knew the identities of the four people in front of him, and only those hereditary nobles would dress themselves up so fancy, the exaggerated colors and clothing styles, normal people would not wear them like that. And it happened to be the four people in front of them, and each of them had a main color, and if there was a blue, they would be all five colors.

"Don't get too far away! I can't be mistaken, that person is you. The red-clothed nobleman at the head glared, looked at Serpo's face carefully, and said: "I will not forget your face! Tell me that the man is there, I will break his third leg! Cheating dares to steal from me, I will make him regret that he can't control his lower body!"

"Well, even if you recognize me. Serpo looked at a blue dress, also walked over from a distance and smiled and said, "But I don't know where he is now, and in order to save his left leg or right leg, I won't tell you that he is there." ”

"Then I'll just let you taste it first. The man in red snapped his fingers, looked at the four people around him and said, "Although I admire your righteousness, but a little knight dares to go against me, and I can only let you know what it means to be powerful!"

"Then you still need to call someone. Serpo took off the knight's crest from his chest, threw it to the bartender behind the bar to keep it for safekeeping, loosened his collar and said, "Otherwise, if I deal with the five of you alone, you will have some losses." ”

While Serpo was fighting over his friend's leg, his friend Triste was walking down the street in disheveled clothes, and just now he jumped out of the window of the kitten he had just hooked up with his clothes. After coming to Sarasin, I don't know why his luck has been a little bad lately, every time he is about to enter the last step, the kitten's man will come back, so he can only be forced to hide or jump out of the window to escape.

"Ah...... Hasn't Lady Luck been paying attention to me lately?" Trist sighed as he slowly walked back to the castle and said, "Do you want to donate some money to the Goddess of Fortune and let the Goddess help me communicate with Lady Luck......?" It seems that I don't have much money anymore. After turning over his money bag, Trist put it away a little helplessly, and recently in order to pretend to be a rich nobleman, he had spent almost all of his salary.

"Are you a knight, please?" Trist was stopped by a girl at an intersection, followed by two warriors dressed as guards, but not as if escorting her. And she looks like she's just a village girl, not a girl from a noble family. This made Trist a little interested in how the situation in front of him came about.

"I'm a knight. Trist straightened out his outfit, pointed to the knight's coat of arms on his chest and said, "And I'm still a gentle and handsome knight, may I ask the beautiful young lady if you have anything to do?"

"I want to raise an army to go to the front line and reclaim the lost land. "The reddish-brown haired girl was very tall, and her skin was not very smooth, but it was firm, perhaps because of her frequent farm work. The way she looked at Trist was calm, as if she was talking to an ordinary person, and she didn't have any scruples at all because of Trist's status as a knight, just like other civilians.

"Hehehe...... Then you should look for fighters who can fight. Trist didn't laugh at the girl, but he didn't take the girl's words as correct, he looked at the girl and said with a smile: "And I am a knight and a knight in command, if there is no soldier who can command me, it is of no great use, even if I am brave and good at fighting, it is only one person's strength." ”

"So if I find a soldier, can you lead the army for me? I need knights to help me manage the army. The girl looked into Trist's eyes and said seriously, "As for the soldiers, I will find them soon." I'm going to raise money from the merchants in the city, and then buy some slaves to form an army, and then I'll need someone to help me train them. ”

"Okay, if you recruit five hundred warriors. Trist put away his smile, and from the girl's eyes, he felt the girl's cognition and persistence. If you treat it as a joke, it won't be enough, so Trist straightened his attitude and thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't think your plan is very feasible, I can promise you that after you have five hundred men, I can help you train them." As for the Commander, I have to think about it, because I am in the service of others, and it is not up to me to leave if I want to leave. ”

"Then tell your master my request. The girl nodded and said, "If that doesn't work, please introduce some willing knights as well." So when I gather the soldiers, where am I going to find you?"

"I'm in the middle of the castle. Trist thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, go and tell the guards, just find Knight Trist, and I will inform them of your arrival." ”

"Goodbye then, good knight. The girl smiled and nodded to Trist, and walked with the two guards to the rest of the place. Trist watched the strange girl slowly leave, feeling that everything just now was like a dream, but the girl's firm and calm eyes left a deep impression on Trist's heart.

"Okay. Trist shrugged his shoulders and continued his own way, saying, "Maybe the princess will feel a little strange, but since she agreed, there is no way, and maybe she won't get five hundred people at all." ”
