It is a very magnificent palace.

The palace does not look resplendent in gold, but the walls, floors and ceilings all exude a metallic texture, making the palace feel as if it were a chalk city, not only grandiose, but also solemn.

A middle-aged knight walked down the corridors of the palace, making a distinct sound of footsteps on the ground.

The middle-aged knight's figure is not burly, and he is even a little thin, but the momentum he exudes is extremely heavy, making people vaguely feel that the thin figure has swelled a little.

He carried a sword at his waist, and although the sword was in its sheath, judging by the style, it should have been a flaming sword.

The knight rested one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the other hand swayed slightly, and his steps were strong and powerful, like a general about to charge into battle.

It wasn't long before the knight came to a room.

"Coming?"

When the knight entered the room, a voice immediately rang out.

On closer inspection, this room appears to be for office use, and the interior is quite lavish, but the most conspicuous thing is a long desk located in the deepest part.

On the desk, countless parchments are piled up in stacks of papers, and there are quill pens, seals, ink, and other objects scattered next to them.

A noble man in his 30s was sitting at his desk working on documents, and when he saw the middle-aged knight walk in, he immediately stopped the work at hand and smiled calmly at him.

"What are you looking for me for?"

Looking at the extremely gorgeously dressed noble son in front of him, both in appearance and temperament, the knight's words were very unkind.

Even if he knew that the identity of the man in front of him was not simple, and he could even be said to be one of the most influential and noble beings in the current Queen Kingdom of Tistis, the knight was not too polite.

This is naturally rude.

In other words, with such an attitude, he could be punished.

But the knight was obviously not among them, and the noble boy sitting at the desk didn't seem to care about this, and picked up the nearest piece of parchment at hand.

"We're in trouble." The noble prince did not beat around the bush, and said concisely: "This is the latest information jointly presented by the nobles led by the Fanard family, you can take a look." ”

As he spoke, the noble prince handed the parchment to the middle-aged knight.

The middle-aged knight was not polite, took the parchment directly, and read it.

At this reading, the middle-aged knight frowned.

"The mysterious mage with the squire of the Sword Master has become the escort of the 'puppet', and the people sent out by the various forces have almost all been wiped out?"

This news surprised the middle-aged knight.

"I know you're skeptical." Gui Gongzi crossed his hands under his chin and pillowed, and said, "But this is news that has been verified by many forces, and the accuracy is still guaranteed." ”

"But I doubt the accuracy of that now." The middle-aged knight threw down the parchment and said unceremoniously, "What kind of magician can make a sword master his squire?" Is he a tactical magician, as mentioned in the intelligence? ”

Apparently, the middle-aged knight was disdainful of this statement.

Sword Master, that is the highest combat power of a country, but also the strongest individual weapon, the status is not inferior to the strategic level magician or even the royal family of a big country, even the king of a country has to give three points to it, if it is not necessary, it will not be easily offended.

Such an existence, let alone being an attendant to a tactical-level magician, or being an attendant to the king of a big country, will have nine points of resistance in his heart, and the remaining one point is still a special situation that he does not want to refuse.

For example, the Shadow Sword Saint of the Kingdom of Jinas, he is a Sword Saint cultivated by the royal family himself, and all of his own is given to him by the royal family, so it is naturally impossible for him to refuse, and he willingly protects the royal family and guards the king.

But what about the other Juggernauts?

Except for the slave background, who voluntarily sacrificed all the one-eyed sword saints Dehart because of appreciation and redemption, the rest of the sword saints are at worst earls, although they will serve the country, they will not unconditionally obey the orders of the royal family, and they are extremely autonomous.

Now, someone actually told the middle-aged knight that a dignified sword saint actually went to serve as an attendant for a tactical-level magician?

Can't you drop the price?

"But it's true, even you and I don't want to admit it." Gui Gongzi was not surprised by the knight's performance, and said: "I guess, it should be a new sword master, before she became a sword master, she was already the attendant of that tactical level magician, and now she has been promoted to a sword master, but the contract between her and that tactical level magician has not ended, so she will continue to follow that mysterious tactical level magician as an attendant." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged knight was somewhat relieved.

If that's the case, that's understandable.

The contract of equality between the mage and the attendant is not considered to be terminated in exceptional circumstances, and only the conditions concluded when the contract between the two parties is completed will be considered to be over.

For example, if a swordsman proposes to a magician to be loyal to him for ten years, on the condition that the magician must complete one thing for him, then when the magician completes this matter, if the ten years have not yet arrived, the swordsman will naturally not be able to leave directly, and must fulfill the promise he has made to complete the contract between them.

Even if the strength of the swordsman has increased before the ten-year period has expired, he will have to continue to fulfill the contract.

Gui Gongzi and the others guessed that the Sword Saint was promoted to the Sword Saint before the contract ended under such circumstances, so he continued to follow a tactical-level magician as an attendant.

If the other party was only a senior swordsman before signing a contract with that tactical-level magician, it would not be considered a bargain to be an attendant to a tactical-level magician.

Of course, generally speaking, even if a senior swordsman wants to become an acolyte, he will choose from a strategic mage, unless the other party is either rich or noble, and his status is extremely extraordinary.

The middle-aged knight thought of this possibility and asked the noble prince.

"Have you investigated the origin of that mysterious tactical magician?"

The answer to this question is naturally yes.

"I've sent someone to investigate, but even if I searched through all the countries in the north of the continent, I didn't find a tactical-level magician named Rige Brihaut." Gui Gongzi shook his head and said: "However, there is a rumor in the middle of the continent, and the protagonist of the rumor has the same name as this mysterious tactical magician. ”

The noble son's words made the middle-aged knight's eyes narrow.

"Are you talking about the Thunder Light Sword Saint that has spread among the countries of the continent in the past year?"

Of course the knight had heard of the man.

No way, the other party's name is too bluffing.

The youngest sword saint in history at the age of 17, known as a flash of thunder is defeated, in the royal capital of the Kingdom of Jinas, facing thousands of battles every day without defeat, and there are even rumors that he has defeated the Zhenguan Sword Saint Raven Mepros, and in recent times, it has been rumored that the other party has single-handedly ended the turmoil of that big country, and it is suspected that the strongest old monster in the Kingdom of Jinas has suppressed the outrageous deeds.

The middle-aged knight remembered that the other party's name was Rig Brihout.

“…… It can't be me, right? ”

A scorching battle intent appeared in the middle-aged knight's eyes.

"If it's me, what do you want to do?"

The noble prince seemed to see through the middle-aged knight's thoughts, and he seemed to laugh out loud.

"What else do you need to say?" The knight snorted coldly and said: "I don't believe that there are such demonic characters in this world, it is outrageous enough to become a sword saint at the age of 17, and now it is rumored that the strength of the other party is enough to suppress the strongest combat power of a country, I will not accept it if I don't try it myself." ”

“…… In the past, I would have thought the same way as you did. The noble prince restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "But now, the people of the entire Queen of Tistise have clearly realized that there is such a demonic character in this world, who can become the strongest when he is younger than anyone else." ”

"Like, that Valkyrie."

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged knight's fists suddenly tightened, and the battle intent in his eyes turned into humiliation.

In his mind, a figure appeared uncontrollably.

It was a girl who was as cold as ice.

The maiden was very young, at least for him.

He is 45 years old this year, but the girl is only 25 years old this year, a full 20 years younger than him, but it has brought him a lot of pressure.

Even now, the knight remembers it.

At that time, the girl was even younger than she is now, but she has become the youngest Juggernaut in the Kingdom of Tistis, and even the youngest Juggernaut in the history of the Queen's Kingdom, and even the legendary first queen became a Juggernaut at an older age than her.

The Queen's Kingdom was a sensation because of the girl's amazing talent.

Countless people were shocked by the strength of this young girl.

Especially when the girl single-handedly challenged two domestic sword masters and defeated them, her prestige suddenly reached its peak in the queen's country.

And when the Queen's Empire's ancestral artifact was pulled out by the girl and became her sword, she was destined to become another legend in the country's history.

After all, the last person to show his power with the artifact of Zhenguo was the first queen.

Based on this alone, if the girl is the princess of Queen Tistis's royal family, then she can directly sit on the throne and become the new queen, and the queen kingdom will not be what it is now.

But even so, the girl is also called the Valkyrie, obviously younger than anyone else, but there is already a faint tendency to be regarded as the strongest in the kingdom, and it is the existence of the Dinghai God.

It can be said that in the current Queen of Tistis, ninety percent of all the praise for the Sword Saint has fallen on this girl.

What about him?

It's a pity that nothing but shame is left for him.

Because, he was one of the sword saints who lost to that girl in the first place.

"If all the rumors are true, then it proves that Rige Brihaut is an even more demonic being than that Valkyrie." Gui Gongzi sighed: "Such a monster, there has not been a single one in the past hundreds of thousands of years, but now there are two in one breath, and one is more evil than the other, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged knight's fist clenched even tighter.

"Anyway, I haven't tried it, and I will never admit it." He said coldly: "And then? Is it me? ”

"Probably not." The noble prince said without hesitation: "According to the information spread by the outside world, that Thunder Light Sword Saint was still in the royal capital of the Jinas Kingdom a few days ago. ”

"And the distance between the Kingdom of Genus and the Kingdom of Tistis, so far that it would take more than two months for the fastest caravan to arrive."

"Therefore, it is impossible for the other party to come to the Kingdom of Tistise in just a few days."

"It should just happen to be the same name, otherwise the explanation is not clear."

The noble prince's analysis made the middle-aged knight nod his head without knowing whether he was regretful or disappointed.

Of course, on the lips, the knight still made a rebuttal.

"Isn't it said that Rige Brihaut is still a tactical or even strategic magician? Maybe the other party has a way to run to the queen kingdom in such a short time? ”

"Moreover, rumors have also said that there are more than one Sword Saint attendants under the command of Rige Brihaut."

"This rumor is completely in line with the current mysterious magician, right?"

A mysterious magician who can't find out the origin, since the other party does not exist between the northern countries of the continent, it is very likely that he is from other parts of the continent.

In addition, the newspaper also explained that the other party was a very young boy, which is also consistent with the rumors.

……… The more you think about it, the more likely it becomes.

The noble prince also frowned and thought about it seriously.

Indeed, the characteristics of all aspects are too close, and the possibility that the two are the same person is not impossible.

It's just that the noble prince still doesn't want to believe that the rumored demon will suddenly come to the kingdom of Queen Tistis.

If it was him, what was he doing in the Kingdom of Tistis?

Also, why did he choose to escort the "puppet" to Urwahi?

What is his purpose?

Or rather...... Is it the Kingdom of Genas that has a special purpose?

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the noble son.

"If it's him, things will be in trouble." Gui Gongzi said in a deep voice: "His own strength is already very strong, if there are two more female Sword Saint attendants under his command, we may face a full three Sword Saints." ”

"Not necessarily." The middle-aged knight retorted, "How many sword saints are there in the Kingdom of Jinas? I don't believe they'll allow that boy to take the two Juggernauts and run to the north of the continent. ”

"That's right." The noble prince's frowning brows relaxed, and then he raised his eyes, looked at the middle-aged knight, and said: "No matter what, the other party's strength is not bad, this is for sure, with the strength of Fanard and other families, it is impossible to stop the other party's footsteps." ”

"So, I'd like you to make a personal trip to meet the mysterious magician."

"Don't have a conflict with the other party, try to make the other party retreat."

"At the very least, we can't let the 'dolls' come to the Queen's Palace, otherwise we'll be in trouble."

These words made the middle-aged knight's eyes narrow.

"Okay." The other party immediately replied: "I'll go there myself." ”

He really wanted to see if the other party was the demon.

If yes, he doesn't mind breaking the other party's legend.
