Chapter 20 Slowly put a question mark

"I've heard that demon hunters live so long that even magicians are the envy of them. Miss Hannah added what she had seen, "So I think, Captain, your master, should still be active, right?"

"You're right. Sir Liszt nodded, agreeing with her, "He has indeed been active lately, and even in the sword circles of the capital, I have heard of him from time to time. ”

"But," he said, with an embarrassed expression, "I promised him that I would be embarrassed to see him until I had a family." But this day is not far away, and when my term here is over, I will return to the capital to take up my post, and then I will marry a noble lady casually, and it can be regarded as starting a family. ”

It turns out that the captain is also a single dog...... Xavier couldn't help but think to himself, and at the same time asked a question that he had been puzzled about.

Why does the captain, as a noble baron, still have such outstanding strength, and he still needs to come to an ordinary village to be an ordinary captain?

Faced with this question, Sir Liszt smiled and responded: "The reason is simple, knights who serve in the capital must first go out for one or two years to experience the suffering of the people. If you want to become a Knight of the Capital in the future, you will most likely have to go through this step. ”

Xavier was not surprised to hear of this system, as he had heard that there was a similar rule in the ancient world, and that before becoming a prime minister, he was required to serve as a magistrate for a period of time to ensure that they understood the local government.

He hadn't thought about it so far for the time being, because he knew that knights were not only good at swordsmanship, but also needed to be proficient in literature, music, archery, horsemanship, and so on, and Xavier obviously didn't know anything about these things, or only barely knew a thing about archery.

However, he found that Miss Hannah next to him seemed to have a faint expression of expectation, but slowly hid it deep in his heart and was not known to outsiders.

Seeing that the two had no other problems, Sir Liszt did not talk about his privacy anymore, and used a hint to get the two detachment leaders to resign themselves, and then began to deal with today's official business.

~~~~~~

A month later.

As if you pressed the fast-forward button, the village of Reston in the south of Gournia has undergone a lot of changes.

One of the most obvious is the change in temperature, which slowly drops as August comes to an end and a pleasant autumn begins.

In addition, the crops have also begun to mature, which is how the term 'autumn harvest' is derived, and the leaves have begun to turn from green to red, outlining a beautiful scenery for passers-by to enjoy.

As for Xavier, he also increased his swordsmanship experience a lot, and through many sparrings with the captain, or being hammered, he sublimated his 'sword dance' speed again.

And Miss Hannah, by imitating the combat movements of the two, improved her swordsmanship, which was far inferior to her own archery, at least she could easily fight most of the soldiers in the same battalion.

And the seriously injured Jill has also long recovered, and looks like he has never been injured.

Isabella, whom he rescued, has gradually integrated into the life of the barracks, and everyone has become accustomed to the existence of this little girl.

The above is a month of changes, everyone is gradually finding their goals and moving towards them.

Or to sum it up better with this phrase - we all have a bright future ahead of us!

On this day, Sir Liszt walked into his camp with a pained expression.

Because in front of him, it is piled together, as thick as Mount Everest, well, there is no Mount Everest here, anyway, it is a very thick pile of documents.

Why?

Why is there so much information every day, but most of it is useless?

At this moment, he is like a child who refuses to do his summer homework, but in the end he is forced to write the first word.

While flipping through the documents, he kept scolding the major departments in his heart.

Trouble them, don't send everything to the national garrison, okay!

He didn't care what the king's second son had hemorrhoids, and he didn't care what the third prince was caught defecating everywhere, what he needed was intelligence from the front line, really important information.

Unfortunately, this information is always hidden in various documents, so he has to read all the documents so as not to miss even one important document.

But......

He suddenly remembered something.

He has two lovely detachment captains!

That way, Xavier and Hannah would be able to share some of his duties so that he wouldn't have to read all the boring papers.

"Well, let's let them help me today, too. The thought of laziness arose in Sir Liszt's heart.

Just as he divided the document into three parts and was about to hand it over to the two squad leaders, he found a golden document in the ordinary pile of papers.

His pupils couldn't help but dilate, revealing a look of shock, not the shock of the UC title, but the real shock.

Because once the golden document appears, it means that there is a major military incident!

He hurriedly raised his slightly trembling arm, pulled out the document, and read it carefully.

~~~~~~

Xavier's face was not very good.

For he had heard that a large pile of papers had just been brought into the captain's camp, and the lazy baron was expected to give some of them to himself.

That way, he'd have to spend hours reading the completely unimportant files.

Thinking of this, the steel sword he raised in his hand suddenly became less fragrant, and he had to seize this time to practice his swordsmanship as soon as possible.

However, what was expected did not happen, but the captain was seen running out of the tent with a nervous look, and used an urgent summoning order to summon all the soldiers present, as if to announce something.

"The reason why I have summoned everyone here so urgently is because I have just received an important piece of information, one that could affect the entire village of Reston!"

Seeing that the captain said so important, all the soldiers couldn't help but hold their breath and focus on the baron's next sentence, just like the students who heard the teacher say that they wanted to write the key points before the final exam.

And Sir Liszt did not disappoint them, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he made a big news.

"Northern Gournia fell. ”

"General Humphrey, and his 1st Corps, have been wiped out in the northern campaign. ”

"The barbarians' offensive may spread at any time!"

In an instant, the soldiers who heard the news showed their expressions of disbelief as if they had heard that their relatives had died of illness, and they also had this in their hearts:

“???”
