Chapter 52: The Tact of Conviction

Dada~

The knight, who was on one knee, was about to answer, when he was interrupted by the sound of a rapid and dense sound of horses' hooves.

Noelle looked up, and the Marquis of Odyssey and his staff rode fast horses towards the place.

The thick bloody aura on the red shadow girl's body, as well as countless monster curses, made the war horse neigh, and they raised their front legs to stop their steps, not daring to step forward.

Swept by Noelle's gaze, Odeqi only felt like he was falling into a cold abyss, and for a moment he felt an itch in his throat.

The more this happens, the more excited Odyssey becomes, a powerful person who can kill the Demon God General within a few breaths should have such momentum!

Like Noelle's quiet and elegant appearance before, anyone would think she was a vase.

There was still a distance of more than 20 meters from Noelle, Odezi turned over and dismounted, and the staff and guards behind him saw this and hurriedly dismounted.

"Lord Noelle!" Odezi trotted all the way over, a bright smile on his pretty face. At this time, she gave people the feeling that she was not a high-ranking and majestic marquis of the kingdom, but a confidant sister next door.

Seeing Odezi's appearance, Noelle relaxed slightly, "It seems that the east gate is fine." ”

Odeqi smiled: "Thanks to Your Excellency Noelle, the Demon God General of the East Gate should know the news that the Demon God of the West will be killed by Your Excellency, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army." Otherwise, the Eastern Front City is afraid that it will suffer another catastrophe. ”

"Noelle!" Nita's cry of joy came, and the long-eared elf led the little priest Sarina through the crowd, ignoring the rich bloody aura of the girl's body, and hugged her.

Those in the crowd who saw this scene showed some envy in their eyes, and they could not find it possible to have a good relationship with the powerful people on the left and right battlefields.

"Nita, Sarina." The murderous aura on Noelle's body gradually dissipated between the two girls embracing, and it also slowed down the atmosphere suppressed by the girl's momentum in the field.

"Get up quickly." Noelle raised his hand and motioned for the kneeling knights and soldiers to get up.

The knight carefully observed the Marquis's expression until the other man smiled and nodded, and then the knight stood up, and then the soldiers got up in unison, the sound of the armor rubbing together.

"Since the east gate is fine, I will continue to clean up the battlefield in the west." As soon as Noelle opened his mouth, everyone present was ashamed.

Odeqi hurriedly stopped: "Your Excellency Noelle, leave the matter of cleaning the western battlefield to the garrison and other adventurers, the east gate is still not very stable, once the demon god will find out that you are not in the city, it is not impossible to launch a quick attack." ”

The Marquis seemed to think that saying this would not discourage Noelle, and said, "There are still many residents in the city, and His Excellency Noelle frequently consumes himself, so he should take a nap for a while." ”

Noelle's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said softly: "I don't have much to consume, so it's better to attack the Eastern Demon God General again while he is unprepared." ”

Noelle's proposal made all the staff look at each other, how could it be in the girl's mouth, killing the almost invincible demon god general in the past, no different from killing a chicken?

The smile on Odeqi's face was even stronger, "We also want to solve all the problems of the Eastern Defense Line as soon as possible, but the Demon God in the east will be insidious and cunning, good at speed, and hidden in the Demon King Army, we can't determine its exact location."

Your Excellency will definitely be attacked by the Demon God when you go to clean up the battlefield, why don't you wait for the end of the western battlefield and the supply of the kingdom in place, and then we will launch a general attack? ”

Noelle shook his head and said, "The command is yours, you don't need to ask my opinion." ”

Odeqi smiled bitterly in his heart, "My little ancestor, you are the strongest combat force in our Eastern Front City, if you don't ask, who will you ask?" Shall I ask the staff who have worked so hard to kill the goblins? ’

"In any case, let's let His Excellency Noelle rest first, and then talk about other things." The old staff members were smiling, and with Noelle's extremely strong combat power, the mountains that had been pressing on their hearts in recent days had all dissipated.

They have to take good care of this 'baby', and don't let her feel uncomfortable and leave the Eastern Front City in a fit of anger.

——————

Even though Noelle himself still wanted to continue to sweep away the demon king army that had fled on the battlefield in the west, he still returned to the marquis's mansion under the advice of everyone who moved and reasoned and knew with affection.

When the decapitation team began to act, it was already early afternoon, and by the time Noelle returned to the city, the remnant sun was almost hidden, and the two moons that emitted strange light hung high in the sky.

Noelle, who was sitting in the guest room of the Marquis's Palace, was covered with a faint mist, her pretty face was still flushed from the bath, and there were occasional droplets of condensed water falling from the tips of her silver-gray hair.

"Don't bother, right?" Seeing the maids of the Marquis's Mansion coming and going, constantly showing her all kinds of costumes, Noelle frowned and said, "What about my set of armor?" ”

Nita watched happily on the side, as if she was sifting through Noelle's clothes, and when she heard the girl's question, she opened her mouth and said, "That dress of yours smells of blood, and the smell is too strong, let the servants of the Marquis's Mansion take it and clean it." ”

As she spoke, Nita looked at Noelle's pure white nightdress with pleated lace, and the slightly aggressive wanton gaze made Noelle's face even more flushed.

"You can't go to a banquet in your pajamas, can you?"

"I'm ......" Noelle opened his mouth, a pair of small hands folded together, "but the demon army on the east side of the city has not yet been resolved, so this is ...... Got a party? ”

"En......" Nita thought for a moment, "according to the words of Marquis Odysse, it is not a banquet, and with you as a powerful person, they should relax their nerves that have been tense for months." Maybe in their opinion, as long as little Noelle is here, the Eastern Front City will be safe and sound. ”

Noelle lowered her head, her frowning willow eyebrows never let go, she didn't like this atmosphere very much.

Sensing the change in the girl, Nita stopped choosing, spread her hands and said: "If you don't like it, let's not go, just eat something in the house, anyway, I feel that the dishes made in the Marquis's Mansion are definitely not as good as your craftsmanship of Little Noelle." ”

"But ......," Nita waved the maid away and said softly, "Even a paladin, even a saint with a pure heart, will be troubled by the tribulations of the world.

What you have to do is how to use this power for your own use, rather than letting them dominate your power.

Let them know who is the one who is powerful and who is the one who can decide everything!

It is you who need me, and I do not need you! ”

Nita picked up a long dress made of red and white similar to Noelle's dress.

"The most essential reason for this so-called banquet is that in addition to slowing down everyone's nerves, the main purpose is to win you over." Nita continued: "Let me think about it, this time it should be the Kingdom faction led by the Marquis of Odeqi, after all, there is no temple on the Eastern Front City, otherwise there may be a war for people."

Not necessarily, I heard that the great knight of the Earth Mother Temple in Augsge has also returned, and as soon as he returns to the Marquis's Palace, he will look around for someone to inquire about you.

If I were a diplomat in the Elven Realm, I would have wooed you, even if you only accepted an honorary title. ”

"After all......" Nita said meaningfully, "Little Noelle, the strength you have shown is much stronger than those Gold-rank heroes who defeated the Demon God King more than ten years ago.

After this battle, the legendary brave man will also be eclipsed in front of you.

Do you understand what this means? ”

"What does it represent?"

Seeing that Noelle was really so stupid to ask, Nita smiled "poof", and couldn't wait to hold the cute little girl in front of her in her arms and knead it now.

"It means that you are the top combat force in the history of the coalition, and it means that you will lead the coalition army to defeat the Demon God King and rewrite the epic of heroes. The people who represent the top of the coalition will have a place for you. It also means that you are the one who cuts the cake.

Believe it or not, as long as your message gets out, some temples invite you to be their paladin. ”

"Yes...... Becoming a knight shouldn't be an absolute strength. ”

"Yes, when our little Noelle will not burst with compassion, learn to look at the essence of things, and when the mind is completely transformed, he will become the 'knight' in your heart."

"Alas~" Nita sighed suddenly, "After all, it's just a slickness of faith." ”

Noelle immediately wanted to refute the 'Spark Knights' of the Knights of Favonius, but when he recalled the memories in his soul, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Observing Noelle's expression, Nita gradually put her pretty face on her, and her eyes stared straight at Noelle's emerald eyes.

"So, are you enlightened?"

Noelle glanced away, exhaled, and said seriously, "I'm here to find a way to become a 'true knight', whatever it is, I'll work hard." ”

"Very well," Nita gave the girl a thumbs up, then picked up the dress and motioned, "Shall we go to dinner?" ”

——————

Marquis's Palace Ballroom.

The number of people is not large, after all, the vast majority of people with heads and faces in the eastern front city, seeing that the situation is not good, have long dragged their families to the city in the hinterland of the kingdom.

The food at the banquet was quite simple, and most of the people attending the banquet were the staff of the Marquis' Mansion and the inspectors of the Adventurers' Guild.

Three or five people got together, and the topics they talked about were all related to Noelle and the Demon King Army. Augsig, the great knight from the Temple of Mother Earth, was also surrounded by a crowd.

At the end of this trial, he is likely to become the new paladin of the temple, and there are many people who want to talk to him.

At this time, Augsg also changed into a temple dress, and his eyes glanced at the crowd and the door from time to time, and many people felt the anxiety in the heart of the great knight.

Kill drank the wine from his glass and burped without hesitation.

"Hey," said Fra dissatisfied, "you are drunk before Benoel comes." ”

"Hey~ I can follow behind His Excellency Noelle, just pick up a leak to defeat the demon god and entrust the task, what else do you want."

"You can see it," Fra quipped, "and I don't know who provoked Noelle before." ”

Qier's face changed, "You can't talk nonsense! I'm ......."

Knowing that Fra wasn't listening to him at all, Kille followed her line of sight impatiently......

ps. A brief introduction to the treasures who have never played the game.

Spark Knight "Klee", throwing away the advantage of the immortal species, Klee is the youngest knight in the Knights of Favonius, and she looks less than ten years old on the outside, and her mind is simple.

Klee is also the legendary "Mondstadt's Strongest Combat Force" (joke component), currently the strongest owner of the Fire Vision in the Knights of Favonius, who likes to carry a bag of bombs to blow up fish, and always causes some minor troubles, so she is locked up in a confinement room by Captain Jean.

Noelle once asked Klee how she became an official knight at such a young age, and was taken by Klee to teach her experience (fried fish), and was also locked up by the head of the Jean team.

In addition, Klee's mother, Alice, is one of Mondstadt's forces at the top of the pyramid.

And Noelle, in addition to being simple-minded and having no sense of teamwork, was just a civilian girl recruited by the Knights of Favonius to do logistics chores at first.
