The figure is more heroic and upright than ordinary men, and in this chaotic and noisy environment, it is like a statue with a very inappropriate scene. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info) People like her can be recognized at a glance by anyone they know, no matter where they are.

Elena.

Edward muttered to himself, then tugged at the corners of his mouth.

The saying is the so-called...... Although it is not a long time, what kind of journey did this paladin who liked to disguise himself as a man go through after being separated from him?

Edward was actually a little curious.

But that doesn't mean he's going to meet her right now......

Beside Elena, there were several paladins, the same silver armor shining snow-white in the sun, swords hanging from the buckle and shaking occasionally. The subtle halo is also eye-catching. However, Edward noticed that the three obviously older paladins were all showing a respectful posture when facing Elena at this moment, and it was obvious that this paladin of the same age as a hunter had not only the strength to rival the white dragon, but also the difference in status was completely beyond his reach. It also made him more determined to have certain ideas.

What are you going to do when you meet? Tell her, "Hey...... I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember me?...... mercenary who once ventured with you in that dungeon, who once saved your life and watched your **?

Isn't that stupid...... And it's bound to be embarrassing.

So Edward bowed his head slightly, hiding his face in the shadow of his hood, his hands wrapped in the sleeves of his robe, and folded them on his belly. Make a mage look - that way, even those who know him well will probably be hard to notice this guy dressed as a mage.

It's just that the companion's slower pace, his shifting gaze and whispering to himself seem to have caught Miss Lisa's attention.

"Do you know that person?" she asked, tilting her head to catch her eyes on the brilliant figure in the distance.

"I've only seen her once or twice before...... Edward replied casually, but immediately realized that he had made a small mistake - in the language of this plane. The difference between his and her pronunciations is very noticeable.

"Oh~~~?she?" the little girl's voice immediately lengthened, as if to catch something from Edward's silence, and she turned back with interest, her golden eyes staring into Edward's eyes. Without blinking: "It's only seen once or twice? It's strange, so far away, you can tell at a glance that he is the one you know?"

"That. The mercenary's eyesight is the capital of mixed food, haha......" His brows twitched, and Edward snorted, trying to perfunctory. But the little girl didn't seem to intend to let him go: "But she still has a helmet, you can recognize people by a little chin, it's amazing." ”

That kind of gaze, which was mixed with strange narrowness and dissatisfaction, gave Edward a headache. Or a woman's intuition when it comes to gossip is not limited by age...... Well, no, it should be said that there is a certain age?

"Hmm. Excuse me, sir, have you heard of a mage named Isaac in the city of Faun......?

"Huck, Barry, Finn!"

Just as Edward tried to change the subject, he was interrupted by the sound of approaching heavy horses' hooves and a low shout.

Edward looked back and noticed a small group of knights approaching him.

Apparently. Faun lived up to the reputation of the merchant capital, even in the body of a small group of knights. It seems that you can also see the irresistible power of the goddess Waukin.

The horses were tall and sturdy, although they were only mixed breeds. But the majestic legacy of the hayzema made their backs at least half a foot taller than their ordinary counterparts, and the standard cuirass, white iron helmets and cavalry swords used by the knights on the horses all looked to be of the highest standard, and those dull and black surfaces were far better than the mass goods commonly forged by mercenaries, although these ordinary equipment were completely incomparable to magic weapons. However, the dozen or so young men standing on horseback like knives, with neat armor and shiny long swords, showed the demeanor of a strong army.

Especially the one at the front of them, the one who made the sound, was undoubtedly much more conspicuous.

Although he also wore the sash of a knight of the guard, the armor and sword were of the highest quality, with a helmet with wings and three proud red feathers stuck in the helmet, which showed that he had been promoted from an ordinary cavalryman to an alternate knight, or at least a cavalry squadron leader.

"Who are these two? What are you guys doing here with children?" he pushed up his mask and cast two stern glances from his tall horse, "Don't you know how busy the city lord is?

"No, no, no, how dare I...... It's just that this one, well, he's a mage...... Apprentice, according to the emergency mobilization order, I requisitioned him to carry out auxiliary work. Lord Viscount. The leader of the soldiers bowed a little flatteringly: "Oh, and his companion is a priest, so according to ......"

"Was it just an apprentice?". The knight captain snorted a disdainful volume from his nose and interrupted his subordinate's report: "That's just right...... Our group is about to set off, but one of the mage's apprentices has contracted a plague, and the priests in the city are busy trying to banish the curse...... Do you know how to ride a horse? Forget it, find a horse to ride and set off with us!"

This attitude is undoubtedly arrogant, but it is not wrong - judging by the badge embedded in his armor, he seems to be a nobleman with the status of a baron, and the status of a magician, although noble, is also linked to their strength, if in reality, they are not rewarded. Before they had the status of official mages, they were just some special commoners, and they were indeed supposed to obey the orders of any noble.

However, his orders were apparently mistaken for some kind of gas.

Edward wasn't one of those creatures in this world, and he never had any dwarf thoughts in his mind. According to the deep-rooted understanding of modern people - God is the biggest, Lao Tzu is second, not to mention, he still has some fire in his stomach now. "Who are you?" lifted his gaze from the hood slightly. Looked at the guy for a moment: "What right do you have to dictate here?"

"Watch your tone!mage ...... Your Excellency the Trainee Mage," the head of the guards twitched, and hurriedly spoke: "This is Your Excellency the City Lord...... Well, it's the Hundred Captains of the Garrison Knights of Faun City. His Excellency Cliff Frangan, another hereditary baron, was a ...... of the family of Frangan."

"Hmm. To be precise, I'm an apprentice at the Academy of Magic, and I'm here to perform an important mission. It's only because of special circumstances that I came here to find out, and as for this, well, Your Excellency the Captain, right? First of all. I wonder what the hell is going on, can you show me the order for the transfer, or the corresponding class marker?" Edward snorted and interrupted the introduction unceremoniously, "Even if it's a formal transfer." It should also be clear where the upper and lower classes belong, so I can't wait to issue an order before I can ...... you Well, let's put it in the name of Your Excellency Sir?"

This arrogant appearance made the cavalry captain suffocate, and his face immediately sank, but after a pause, he was very clever not to attack immediately—magicians are mysterious and strange characters, before finding out their details. The smart thing to do is to show them kindness...... Otherwise, something might happen to you.

Especially since the other party is still an apprentice in that academy.

In fact, such a thing as a knight is a war toy for the lower nobles. Their abilities are not bad compared to those of the peasants, but they have also been trained in horse warfare and city defense battles. At best, Su zhì is limited in strength than the chengguan brigades in Edward's memory - I have to say that the two do have a lot of similarities, and even the momentum of 'old enough to maintain world peace' is almost identical.

True knights are professional soldiers who have studied the art of war for a long time, and naturally have good strength. But generally speaking, no matter which country is on this continent, such people are actually very few, and under the peaceful environment of this feudal system, they are destined to become more and more sassy, and the useless straw knights and noble descendants fill most of this profession, except for bullying civilians, eating and drinking, they have no ability at all, but their squires, those noble soldiers who follow behind huge mounts and play all kinds of banners, also look more well-trained than adventurers.

However, there is no shortage of people who can truly maintain world peace.

Edward couldn't help but pay a little more attention - I have to say that the paladins are really a group of people who are favored by the gods, and the appearance of these three people is quite outstanding, especially the tall female paladin, although she has a cold look, but she can definitely be regarded as one of the attractive women, especially in terms of age, she has passed that kind of youthful time, and she shows a mature charm.

Young, handsome, mighty, extraordinary, and noble, and with a seamless temperament, he seems to be the protagonist of a story that he often heard in the mouth of a bard as a child.

Sao Bao's terrible ......

But speaking of which, it's fortunate that I went out of the city with the team, because what happened in this city, after all, it is also very likely to be a magical epidemic, and it will be very troublesome if it is affected, and even after entering the city, it will face a depression scene, so it is better to stay away from the center. So just hang along.

After a moment of silent consideration, Edward finally had to accept the fact that he was out of touch with Faun.

And what was even more unpleasant was that the mage named Isaac must have been of a high rank and was not subject to such conditions—he inquired about the images of all the mages who had been called in the city at the moment, and none of them matched the figure described by Albert.

Edward looked up and glanced at the city lord from afar...... The guy didn't seem to be noticeable, with a full beard, a sturdy physique, and a red and white coat embroidered with heraldry. He looked a little brave, but he wasn't tall and didn't have any memorable features, but the one standing next to him was impressive—a robe with long fluttering straps that shimmered with a subtle blue light. The hat on his head was tall and pointed, and his gray beard was two feet long, thickly covering the lower half of his face, revealing only a sharp red hooked nose and a pair of glittering green eyes. It's quite a bit of a wolf and an eagle.

"That's the City Lord's advisor, High Mage Enwei, and the head of the Magic Guild here. ”

"Horses are not specially selected good horses, and this mission is not to let them go to battle, what is the use of being fully armed except to reduce mobility? Is this an angel with broken wings on the Heavenly Mountain? It seems that his head is not light?...... Appetizing stuff. ”

Even though Faun was a new trading port within a radius of a few hundred miles. But in fact, it is impossible to get rid of the development laws of this era, and after a dozen miles from the city, there is already a wasteland with no stillness to speak of, except for the clumps of weeds. A deserted mound is a road that is compacted with dirt but also kicks up yellow dust. Even if there is an occasional tree or two, the branches and leaves that grow haphazardly are scattered and twisted by the wind and rain. Even with the moisture of the spring rain, it is difficult to cover it.

However, riding a horse and wandering in the wilderness under the blue sky and white clouds is still a refreshing thing. The breeze blows, the vision is vast, and even the slightest chill in the air that has not yet receded makes people feel refreshed.

If the team could travel a little slower. Then it is undoubtedly closer to a comfortable hike.

Just two ten-day ago, a strange disaster struck the Faun region.

At first, it was just ordinary rain...... It's just far more than the amount of water at this time of year, and it doesn't have any intention of clearing...... And when the rain lasted for two days, it didn't abate. Instead, it was mixed with terrible thunderstorms. Violent thunder and lightning tore through the sky and bombarded the earth, and although it only lasted for a short time, three tall buildings in Faun City had already been destroyed...... Dozens of people were also killed and wounded.

After that, while most people were worried and praying, the rain gradually decreased...... But it didn't end there as one might think—with a dull thunder, the rain from the sky turned a palpitating dark red, emitting a thick stench, like the blood of a dead creature that rotted somewhat.

The people in the city are naturally panicked...... And at this time, there are also problems in the temple, which is often the most soothing. Over the course of a day, all the magicians in the entire city discovered it. They can't get spells, and some of the divine spell effects that were always in the temple or elsewhere are gone. Even some staves and amulets that contain divine magic cannot be used...... Several of the temple's high priests tried to prophesy, but all came with worrying news......

This is a filthy rain, a prophecy of evil to come. All of this bizarre was apparently caused by an unusually large scale of evil rituals performed near the city.

The spread of this panic was exacerbated by the words of the priests of several temples, and as the days passed, these strange things became more frequent...... The other day, someone outside the city reported that there was a strange dark green mist drifting through the countryside, changing and distorting a living thing. Many beasts and herds were swept up in the middle of the period, and when they reappeared, they were already unrecognizable, not even the ferocious creatures that had grown out of the bone deck and became bloodthirsty, but some real monsters...... They have dark red, sarcoma-covered skin and a strange pungent stench. It is often accompanied by an eerie glow of fire.

Even around the entire harbor area, all kinds of monsters began to stir up...... Even in the offshore waters, there have been several recent incidents of shark-like fish-men attacking fleets, which in the past had only happened at a considerable distance from the harbor.

More than twenty high-ranking priests from the seven temples have been transferred to the castle to carry out the sacrifice of protective arts, while most of the mages and paladins have been sent to investigate...... What's even more troublesome is that the arcane spellcaster does not have the protection of the gods, so he does not have much protection against the epidemic, and about one-third of the mages in the local mage tower are also infected, and now there is a very short manpower.

Fortunately, his identity was only a low-level mage, and he could only be regarded as an assistant to the middle-aged mage in this group of people - although he was not optimistic about his ability, the middle-aged mage was obviously not bad, and told him some things about his mission and the things he needed to pay attention to in the field...... At the end, I didn't forget to remind him to try to stay back when he was in danger.

And his task is very simple, which is to manipulate a sound transmission gem and report the situation to the city at any time.

However, things in the world will not go as planned.

Truly seasoned warriors, even with their overcoated but calm gaze beneath their masks, constantly observing the forest around them - they always hold their swords and maintain the necessary vigilance.
