"Two heroes, long time no see, today we came to visit friends." Ellis poked his head out from behind Deyun and replied, and Deyun smiled and nodded in affirmation.

The two of them said abruptly: "It's really not easy, Lord Deyun finally took out of work and thought of our friends?" ”

Deyun: "Recently, the Knights have been transferred to some secret missions, and knights like me who have not been assigned to missions are naturally idle, but Chief Ludler has arranged for me to patrol Kuhan more. ”

Fiona rolled her eyes and said, "In that case, I wonder if the knight-sama who came from afar will taste Kuhan's ice strawberry liqueur." ”

For a knight who abides by the rules all year round, drinking is impossible in normal times, although it is true that there is free time today, but Deyun still wants to refuse.

Seeing the situation, Lista also echoed: "Lord Deyun, don't hesitate, look at your non-commissioned officer." ”

De Yun looked at her non-commissioned officer behind her, and saw Ellis looking at De Yun very expectantly, this look, I was afraid that as long as De Yun agreed, he would rush to the tavern immediately.

Ellis is still a childlike after all, Deyun couldn't cry or laugh, stroked his forehead and compromised: "Okay, let's not take it as an example." ”

"Woohoo!"

The four of them did not delay the trip and came directly to the tavern that had just opened. The morning tavern will not be patronized, which also allows everyone to enjoy a private sale.

"The ice strawberry liqueur you asked for is on the counter, you can take it yourself, Aunt Penella has returned to her hometown these days, and I have to take care of the grocery store." Claudia pointed to the counter and hurried out of the tavern. Relying on Lista's relationship with Marley and Tyr, Claudia is not worried that these people will default on their debts.

Lista was the first to open a can of iced strawberry liqueur for Deru and Ellis, and everyone began to toast in laughter.

"So, your mercenary group is thriving again?" Deyun took a sip of wine and asked, but combined with the previous experience, this sentence was true, and Fiona felt a chill down her spine.

"Lord Deyun, don't say that, I'm afraid!" Fiona reluctantly swallowed the wine in her mouth and replied with an ugly face.

"Don't worry, soldier, I'm really just here to see you guys this time." As soon as Deyun said this, the four people in the tavern also laughed.

The four of them pushed the glasses and changed the glasses, and the empty cans of iced strawberry liqueur were soon piled up on the table. "I'm just a midshipman now, but I'm sure I can become a knight like Lord Deru!" Ellis was opened by alcohol, but the words that came out of his mouth were no secret. His determination was recognized by everyone, although he never said it, but from his usual hard work and attitude towards people, it can be seen that this lovely boy does not want to be a knight all the time.

Deyun: "Don't worry, Ellis, you can." ”

Fiona: "But, Ellis, you're so cute. ”

"You...... You, it's very rude to say that boys are cute. ”

"Hahaha!"

In the laughter, everyone toasted, and time passed quickly, and the morning time soon came to an end. At this moment, the door of the tavern was violently kicked open, and everyone shuddered.

"Fiona! Where's Fiona? Hawke, who was heavily armed, kicked open the door of the tavern and immediately saw Fiona, and although he saw it, he still shouted for Fiona's words.

Hawke walked straight to the wine table, picked up a wine jar and poured it into his mouth, found that it was empty, slapped the jar on the table, grabbed another jar, and found that it was empty, in front of everyone, he directly snatched the wine in Lista's hand and dried it up, looking very panicked.

Fiona: "Hawke? Looking for me? ”

Hawk snatched the wine from Ellis's hand again, drank it again, took out a heavy round shield from his back and gave it to Fiona, and said, "Don't say anything, come out." ”

The shield was very heavy, with a faint blue glow emitting both the surface and the inside of the shield. The shield was thick, and Fiona felt a full weight as soon as she took it, heavier than any shield she had used before, but such a thick shield made people feel that it shouldn't be so light. Everyone didn't know what this fiery strong man was going to do, so they all followed Hawke to the outside of the tavern.

"What's the matter, so urgent, this shield? You gave it to me? Fiona asked as she put her shield on her hand, which was heavy but comfortable to carry.

At this time, Hawke smiled evilly, actually took off the giant sword behind his back, turned around, and smashed the giant sword at Fiona. In desperation, Fiona didn't have time to dodge the terrain, and she reflexively raised the round shield in her hand to block.

Everyone knows that this guy is born with divine powers, and even the giant Karui doesn't want to compete with him. This blow seemed to be a blow from Hawke with all his might, and before everyone could stop Hawke, the giant sword had already touched the shield.

"Dang!" A crisp crash sounded. Lysta and Ellis, who reacted, rushed up and pushed Hawke away, and although Deyun was silent, it was clear from the fact that she didn't stop Ellis that she was also angry.

Ellis: "Why are you like that! ”

Lista: "You kid, what are you crazy all of a sudden! ”

Hawke was blamed, but he still had a wicked smile on his face, and only Fiona, who was holding the shield, slowly got up and looked at the shield in place.

"Leigh... Lista, this shield! ”

Fiona's words made everyone react, and they all looked at Fiona. It stands to reason that if you are hit head-on by Hawke's blow, no matter how good the shield is, it will leave traces even if it is not broken, but this shield is still as good as new. Seeing this, Lista and Ellis also loosened Hawke's shirt, looked at the shield, and then looked at Hawke.

"How's that, chick, tell me how you feel?" Hawke crossed his hips and asked Fiona with a smug expression.

"Your attack, hit the shield... I don't seem to feel anything. Fiona froze in place, as a female warrior who specializes in using shields, she had never used such a magical shield herself.

Listening to Fiona's statement, the other three were also extremely surprised, Hawke saw everyone's reaction, and actually raised his chest higher, "This is a shield that I spent a month forging, a shield made of two pieces of Damascus steel, and a shock-absorbing device made of the skull of the Frost Tyrant and the essence of the slime monster, I can say this, if you meet another Frost Tyrant again, it will slap you in the face." ”

"Great! Horse! Scholar! Leather! Steel! ”

Everyone exclaimed, everyone until the rarity of Damascus steel, although it is sold in every city, but it is generally bought home as a collection, or for which leader to customize the weapon will use Damascus steel. With the blessing of two pieces of Damascus steel, a shock absorber that everyone does not understand is also added.

Hearing this, Fiona was also unceremonious, "Hmph!" Now, it's impossible for you to get it back. ”

Hawke: "Why did I take it back, I made it for you." ”

Seeing that everyone was confused, Hawke scratched his head and said, "Uh... I obviously promised Lista that I would protect every teammate after joining the team, but ...... In previous battles, you fought alone, didn't listen to commands, and finally broke your shield. ”

Speaking of this, Hawke's face was already red and about to burn, and Lista and Fiona couldn't hold back their laughter when they saw Hawke's appearance.

"And then?" Ellis asked.

"And then... And then, in fact, I have high requirements for weapons and defense, I mainly can't get used to the shield that can be broken so easily, I don't think it hurts my teammates, and then I'm sorry, whatever, anyway, now the shield is for you. ”

Ellis also understood the tsundere Hawke, and laughed along with Lista and Fiona.

"I'm sorry brother, I just misunderstood you, so you've been busy playing this shield for Fiona this month?" Lista asked by patting Hawke on the shoulder, and Hawke nodded.

"Thank you!" Fiona didn't say much, she looked at the shield in her hand, and then continued to ask, "Does it have a name?" ”

Hawke looked at Fiona meaningfully, and then said, "Yes, every weapon should have a name, this is a respect for weapons, but it's your business to choose a name, I won't choose a name." ”

Fiona still looked at the shield intently, and said to herself: "Pallas, the rumored female warrior who fought the demons on the front line of the battlefield a hundred years ago, she is famous for her indestructible shield and superb combat skills and calm command mind. ”

Fiona: "I thought that after I lost my family, I would fight alone for the rest of my life, but I met you, I found my teammates I wanted to protect, you let me know that I am not alone, and today, I, Fiona, in the name of Pallas, in the name of the shield, am determined to protect my teammates, to protect every member of the team. ”

The midday sun shone on the surface of the Shield of Pallas, reflecting a dazzling but not dazzling light, and Deru applauded in affirmation, and the others smiled and encouraged Fiona.

Just as the five of them were about to go back to the tavern to celebrate two more drinks, Marley returned to Kuhan with a large number of recruits. Also coming back was Penella, the owner of the tavern, but Aunt Penella was crying sadly at the moment, and was helped by Marley to walk to the mercenary group office.

Deyun frowned slightly, and turned her head to look at everyone: "What's the situation?" ”

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know, but Deyun couldn't rest assured, and the people in Lista were also curious about this matter, according to Claudia, Penella was back in her hometown, and she should have been happy, even if there was anything, she wouldn't find the mercenary group.

Lista dropped a bag of gold coins at the front desk of the tavern and followed the others to the office, and Kalu, who was carrying goods in the distance, noticed something unusual and also put down the goods and walked towards the people of Lista.
