"That's ......"

Du Wei was about to ask, but then he saw the expression on the face of the young man Kakarot. He seemed so determined, as smart as Du Wei, that of course he immediately understood what Kakarot meant. The secret. Brought misfortune to his teacher, so how could Kakarot be willing to tell others so easily?

"Why are you here for this contest?" Du Wei changed the question.

"I'm going to be a knight, I'm going to have status, I'm going to have power and wealth......" Kakarot clenched his fists: "That guy. He was the commander of the garrison, and he was powerful in the local area...... I. If I am alone, I will not be able to avenge my teacher. So, when I heard that there was an opportunity here, I came. The bulletin said. Just participate in this contest. Get in the top 50, no matter what status you have, you can get the status of a knight! I need a good status. Otherwise. As the son of a slave, the first generation of zìyóu people. I've never had a chance to get ahead in my life. And also...... The champion of the tournament can become the head of a knight order, and he is still in the dìdū. I think maybe it's an opportunity......"

"You want revenge. Du Wei nodded. He could see the hatred in Kakarot's eyes.

"The teacher was killed by that guy. Kakarot's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears flowed out: "The commander of the garrison in that place has a grudge against the teacher, and that guy is specifically looking for trouble with those retired mercenaries." Because usually. Retired mercenaries will carry a lifetime of risky savings, and they all have a lot of money in their hands, and that guy did it many times a few days ago. Killed many old mercenaries who retired from military service, and he always fabricated charges against those people, according to the laws of the empire a few years ago. Mercenaries are illegal. So he can use it in the name of the law. Arrest those retired old mercenaries with impunity. Their property was then confiscated, but the Imperial Code was later amended. The mercenary is legitimate, and the commander has no way to make money. But later, he found out that our teacher was once a native of the famous Red Snow Mercenary Regiment, and he also learned that the Red Snow Mercenary Regiment was wiped out in an adventure. The greedy leader, he seems to have identified. My teacher, as the only survivor, must have kept all the wealth that the mercenary group had accumulated over the years for himself. So, he set his sights on my teacher...

"But your teacher doesn't seem to have much money. Du Wei sighed.

"Yes, he didn't. Kakarot yīn had a calm face: "The teacher was against the people of the mercenary group back then. Fight out. How could he possibly get his property? All these years he has relied on his meager savings, and our rì has had a hard time. But. But the Lord Commander didn't believe it, and that greedy guy always thought that the teacher must have quietly buried a large amount of wealth somewhere, so he arranged an operation to murder my teacher. He secretly threatened my teacher twice to no avail. Send someone to the tavern where my teacher was drinking. Drugged his wine. And then...... A group of guards disguised as civilians were dispatched...... My teacher was beaten to death by them while he resisted, bastard...... In the end, he actually grabbed a few drunken tramps from the street and convicted him of this crime!"

Kakarot finally burst into tears.

Du Wei knew there was no need to say anything more now.

He had already walked up to Kakarot and looked at the young man: "Your greatest wish. Is it revenge?"

"Yes. I have nothing else to ask for but revenge. ”

"Good. Du Wei was awe-inspiring: "I'll help you take revenge, but ...... You know what I want. ”

Kakarot raised his eyelids and looked at Du Wei with reddened eyes: "My lord." If you can help me get revenge. I'll tell you that secret...... And, my life will be yours too!"

February dìdū outside the city. On both sides of the road in the field. Some vigorous wildflowers have grown. Although this has only just entered the chūn day, those persistent wild plants. But they can't wait to show their tenacious vitality.

Small white sè flowers dotted on the side of the road. It brings a touch of brightness to the passers-by on the journey.

In fact, the weather has been pretty good since February. The sky cleared. The sunlight drove away the last cold of the remnants of winter, so to speak. This year's chūn day seems to have come a little earlier than usual.

Outside the Acropolis to the west of dìdū. A group of men had just walked out of the gates of the Acropolis, where they had spent the night last night. And at this moment, the full armor of the guard knight with a clear banner, the leading rider is waving the banner of the tulip family. Let the passers-by and caravans on the road look sideways. Send a respectful gaze.

Several large carriages were protected in the center by a group of cavalry, and the carriage at the front was unimaginably luxurious. If not everyone knew that Duke Tulip was in the city right now...... I'm afraid that people who see the land will think that it is Du Wei himself sitting in this carriage.

Of course, as resounding as the fame of Du Wei's genius was the reputation of the Duke of Tulip for his devotion to all comforts—from that point of view. Many people who admire Du Wei's genius strength often have a faint sour feeling in their hearts: other strong people are all through hard work. Almost masochistic tempering oneself and giving up all pleasures in life. To live the life of an ascetic is to attain that great strength!

But our lordship. Genius of both magic and martial arts. He was an aristocrat. Hot Yuan in fine wine and gorgeous clothes. I like all the good things in life...... Such people. To be able to practice magic and martial arts to such a high level, in addition to being a genius, I am afraid that the luck of our Duke must have been blessed by a woman.

It's ...... It's just unreasonable!

Many martial artists think so in their hearts: I practice hard for several hours every day. Get up early and be greedy for darkness. But now it's only X-class. But the duke. He hugged the beautiful woman, drank fine wine, and slept on a soft bed. Dressed in fine clothes, hunting on horseback, leisurely traveling. It was easy to reach the ranks of high-level martial artists.

It's not unreasonable, what is it?!

Look at this carriage! And the faint magic lines, the finest wood, and the horses pulling the carts—all just to lighten some bumps when the carriage travels.

However. Sitting in a carriage at the moment. Not Dewey, of course.

Princess Louise leaned against the window. Looking at the outline of the city wall in the distance, she was a little distracted, judging from the expression of Her Royal Highness the Princess. She clearly had something on her mind, and the restless look in her eyes showed that she was worried about something, and that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had been a "nurse" in the city of Gilliat for several months. After a long delay. She had to embark on the road back to Dìdū - after all, she was a princess of the Imperial Family, even if she dragged it out for the very vague reason of her life. She can't live in Gilliat forever.

And back to dìdū...... That man......

The princess was holding her heart and worried, and her face was delicate, when a knight in silver armor came to the carriage and gently buckled the window.

Bang bang bang. Three crisp sounds.

Louise immediately perked up, and her face instantly showed a hint of tenderness, and she opened the window. Look at the knight sitting on his horse outside.

"We're almost there. The knight's voice was a little hoarse. However, it should have been [**] in a cold tone, but when facing this princess, it couldn't help but feel a little more imperceptibly tender.

Hussein sat on his horse and looked at the beautiful face in the carriage. Even his eyes softened a little.

At this moment, our paladin. It's no longer the black robe you usually wore when you were in the northwest!

He put on a bright silver sè knight's armor and wore a ninth-level knight's micro-badge on his chest (of course. This micro-medal was bought by Du Wei from the guy Delong early and sent someone to the northwest,)

Hussein's face was shaved clean with all the stubble that had been left on the ground. The outline of his already handsome face was fully revealed! Our paladin has always been a handsome cool man. At this moment, he no longer hides his appearance. It also restored the style of the "first knight of the mainland" who swept a generation of girls in the dìdū back then.

Silver sè dazzling and ornate knightly armor, bright red cloak, sitting on horseback with a tall figure, handsome face, angular outline...... Except, of course, that one eye is a little incongruous. But the tail marks of a little scar on the face and eyes on the ground. But it adds a bit of sembleness to his handsomeness!

Put on such a bright knight's armor again, and you don't have to wear a black robe all day long to hide your head and tail. Such a feeling. Hussein felt that the haze in his heart seemed to be much less, and the whole person seemed to have come out of the depression of the past few years.

And. This is since he rebelled and left the church. First time back to dìdū!

All this, of course, is thanks to Du Wei.

Ever since Du Wei competed that day, in the corridor behind the ring, after the-for-tat threat with His Majesty the Pope. His Majesty the Pope soon fulfilled his promise. After the second day. The news about Hussein has already been announced. Soon spread throughout the empire through the channel of the church spread across the continent.

The content of that message was simple. That is, the church has confirmed it. Hussein, the temple's greatest traitor, has died. The Pope's handwritten order. The warrant for his arrest was cancelled. That is, "legally", Hussein is already a dead man.

So. Now Hussein can walk back into the sun.

"We're almost there. Hussein looked into Princess Louise's eyes, the corners of his mouth curled softly.

Louise was smiling, and it was clear that the girlish smile was full of sweetness. She glanced at the paladin. Suddenly, a shy flush appeared on his face: "You." Is that what you're telling me?"

"Nope. Hussein's expression was serious: "I just want to see you." ”

A very simple sentence, not very warm, but Louise was already very content to let this indifferent man say such things.

After spending months in the city of Gilliat, Louise fell in love with the strong and unyielding paladin. This man who would rather bend than bend, as for Hussein?

Look at the look in his eyes. You'll know the answer.

"You...... Would you like to come up and sit for a while?" The princess shyly extended the invitation.

Hussein shook his head: "No need. I just wanted to see you. ”

"But I'm a little worried, this is dìdū after all. Princess Louise suddenly felt a little panicked: "Your identity ......"

She is a princess of the royal family, and of course she knows a lot of cruel and dirty things in the temple, and she is very worried. In dìdū. Suddenly, a large group of holy knights will appear and arrest Hussein. Then tied to the stake......

"Everything has been worked out. Hussein smiled at the corner of his mouth with three points of mockery: "I understand the church. Since they have declared me dead, it means that this matter is over. Even if I were to appear in front of them now, they would not admit that I was the 'dead Hussein,' or else. Doesn't it admit that His Majesty the Pope's personal order is a joke? Temples usually love face to the extreme, and Du Wei did a beautiful job. ”

"I'm so grateful to him. Princess Louise said heartily, "You know what? Hussein. When the news came, I could feel that your mood was much better...... You're finally starting to have a smile on your face. ”

This time, our paladin. This sturdy man in his thirties. There was a rare tenderness on his face, and when he smiled, even the angular outline. It also seems to have softened a lot.

Hesitated. Hussein looked into the princess's eyes, and at this moment, the iceberg in the paladin's eyes had melted: "No, you are wrong. I didn't change because of that message...... It's because. You. ”

Because of you!
