Chapter 620: I Think You're Trying to Get Promoted

The streets are made of neatly paved stone bricks and are crowded with pedestrians.

They crowded the street in the center of the royal capital into a bustling crowd that was almost impassable.

All pedestrians cast curious eyes into the center of the crowd.

Witness a group of knights in silver-white armor weaving through the crowd, making a wide passageway.

When the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty saw these knights, they exclaimed one after another.

Everyone can clearly see the exclusive badge of the Royal Knights

An inky emblem of a silver sword and shield cross stands out on the chest of silver-white armor and the fluttering cape.

The sudden appearance of the Royal Knights here undoubtedly set off a heated discussion.

"What's wrong with the Royal Knights today?"

"I heard that there is an unidentified homeless person in Xicheng District...... They seemed to be there to arrest the outcast. ”

"What? Refugee!? It can't be those monsters that have sneaked in......"

"I don't know...... Hey, we haven't seen a homeless person in years, right? ”

In the noisy whispers, many people's eyes were attracted by a female knight riding a white horse, with a cold face and a majestic attitude.

"It's actually Grand Knight Captain Gwen who came to carry out the mission himself!"

"Unexpectedly, I had the privilege of meeting Knight Gwen with my own eyes!"

"Knight Captain Gwen is really handsome......"

The pedestrians around him seemed to have turned into Gwen's fanatical fans in an instant, and their eyes flashed with admiration.

However, despite the excitement, these pedestrians consciously maintained order.

Don't dare to cause chaos, let alone block the roads.

Even the voices of worship had to be kept to a near-silence to ensure that they would not interfere with the Order's mission.

It's just that......

The eyes of the surrounding pedestrians gradually focused on a man on horseback who followed Gwen and was also surrounded by knights.

Black hair, black trench coat.

Some people narrowed their eyes slightly, looking at the man carefully, but they inexplicably felt a little familiar.

However, no matter how hard they tried to recall, they couldn't determine the identity of the man.

They could only stand silently, watching the Order drift away.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves on stone bricks and the clashing of armor faded away.

The knights left the streets of the royal capital and drifted away from the crowd of onlookers.

……

The passage of the Order always attracts the attention of the surrounding pedestrians.

But every knight was used to it, and there was no ripple in his heart.

One of the young knights, his eyes sharpened, looked ahead.

Noticing that Grand Knight Gwen hadn't focused on this, he mustered up his courage.

With a flick of the reins at his wrist, the mount approached the older knight with ease.

For he remembered that it was this knight who first interrogated the unidentified outcast.

However, surprisingly, before the knight could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped in shock, unable to speak.

This is usually well trained, especially among these knights who are older.

It's rare to have such a stunned expression.

As a novice knight with only a few years of experience, he had a strong curiosity to ask what was going on.

So he approached the knight gently, patted him on the shoulder in a respectful gesture, and asked:

"Eh, big brother...... That person, what is the situation? ”

He was referring to the outcast who followed behind the Gwynn Knight.

The older knight looked to be around ten years old.

He is already a veteran of the Order, approaching retirement age.

He glanced at the young knight and spoke calmly:

"You're a knight who just joined us, aren't you?"

The young knight nodded.

He was a knight trained from the Delin family in the north, and since he has been trained to join the royal order.

There is no knight from the north who does not have a lot of admiration for Gwen.

Although he also knew that he could not be worthy of Knight Gwynn.

And no one else can match this powerful and cold knight.

But when he heard what Knight Gwen had just said, he always felt a thorn in his heart.

Just now, Knight Captain Gwen said something, to take that homeless man back to get married?

Knight Gwyn's voice was not loud, but the Knights were very close to Lord Gwen.

He didn't believe that he was the only one who heard it.

Therefore, with curiosity, he asked the older knight senior about the question in his mind.

But after hearing this, the veteran knight not only did not show any surprise.

Instead, he sighed and explained to the young knight:

"Do you know why I didn't finish my sentence just now?"

The young knight was slightly stunned for a moment.

He was equally curious.

Why did the interrogation stop in the middle of the conversation?

But then, the older knight seemed to be a different person, and his eyes suddenly became much more serious.

His breath was calm, and he said in a slightly unbelievable tone:

"The man...... Whether it's his looks, or his temperament. ”

"In my eyes, he is a living Victor."

Swish!

These words were like a bolt of lightning that struck the young knight's heart, leaving his mind at a loss.

Wait, who's that?

I'm Cao, Victor?

As a man of the Empire, who doesn't know who Victor is?

Even the young people of their generation grew up listening to Victor's heroic deeds.

The current Empress's teacher, the youngest fifth-order mage, and even, the fiancΓ© of Knight Gwyn!

It's a pity that the hero can't resist the tricks of fate after all.

Eventually, Victor died young because of his opposition to the gods.

Alas.

The young knight's heart swelled with endless emotion and lamentation, but deep down there was a trace of doubt.

Isn't that right?

"Count Victor, haven't you been dead for ten years......"

He carefully lowered his voice, fearing that this sensitive topic would be heard by Knight Captain Gwen in front of him.

Although he also admired this hero who sacrificed his life for the country, how could a person be resurrected when he died?

However, the older knight held the same opinion.

"Yes, how can a person be resurrected after death."

"But you know what? After growing up as Grand Knight Gwen to the Royal Knights, I was one of her subordinates. ”

"In the days I have followed her, I have met Count Victor countless times."

His gaze rested on the man in front of him, who was also riding the white horse of the Order.

Although the white horse was slightly bumpy, the appearance of the man became clearer and clearer in his eyes.

He was dressed in a jet-black trench coat with intricate magical patterns painted on it.

The other party was wearing a dark trench coat covered with various magic patterns, and his temperament was indifferent.

Leng Jun's side face reveals a cold and independent temperament.

The most striking thing is his indescribably powerful aura.

At first glance, he looked exactly like the old knight's memories of Victor.

This shock made him stunned for an instant, unable to speak.

Even a similar person cannot be similar to this extent, as if it were the same person.

It's just that he didn't dare to confirm it at first.

For he did not see the one-eyed raven on the man's shoulder, which was Victor's emblem.

It is known that the one-eyed raven is Victor's inseparable companion.

No matter the occasion.

Crises, banquets, or meetings with His Majesty, Victor will almost always take that one-eyed crow with him.

If not around, at least around.

But now, there are no crows, so he doesn't dare to identify easily.

Knight Captain Gwen himself approached the man and said the words he had just said.

Thinking back to this, the older knight took a deep breath, the tightness of his shoulders relaxed, and continued:

"Grand Knight Gwen had a pact with Count Victor."

"As soon as Count Victor returns, they will be married."

"So Grand Knight Gwynn never believed that Count Victor was really dead."

Therefore, whenever a nobleman tries to marry Gwen on the pretext of Victor's death.

The ice-cold goddess of war would draw her silver-white blade without mercy.

Expelled those who did not do enough to do their own thing, or even killed on the spot.

Several people have died by her sword, and countless others have been expelled from the Delin family.

Although some people held a grudge against her and tried to accuse her on this ground, the Empress would always openly cover her up.

Because this Grand Knight of Gwen is also the teacher of the current Empress.

Even stranger are the families that have harassed Gwen.

After this, their family's relationship and business will always be squeezed openly and secretly.

Over time, no one dared to put their minds on Gwen anymore.

The thought of Her Majesty's tactics made the older knight feel even more admiration.

Hearing this, the young knight was stunned.

He never imagined that there would be such a thing in it.

Yes, after all, Count Victor was only a teenager when he died.

It was also the battle in the northern frontier that year.

As a child, he saw Grand Knight Gwen armed with a sword and slew the two legendary demigod giants.

From that moment on, the honor and faith of the knight took root in his heart.

Let him make up his mind to join the Delin family and become a glorious knight.

All he remembered was that at that time, Count Victor had already been dead for some time.

"So...... He ...... that outcast."

Is it really Count Victor who came back from the dead?

He didn't dare to ask this last sentence.

But the old knight had understood what he meant.

He looked up again at Knight Gwen, looking at her cold, unemotional, but stunningly beautiful face.

Then he said calmly:

"Knight Gwen never says a word to anyone, but she even wants to marry that man today."

As he spoke, he raised his head again and looked at the gray sky.

"Probably, Count Victor is really back,"

"Settle the chaos for our empire."

……

A magnificent and prosperous mansion stands on the land of the royal capital, magnificent and majestic.

Golden light shimmered on the pale walls, and rose-colored windows were high embedded in the walls.

A dim glow shone through the windows and open doors, shining on the hard stone pavement.

This is the Delin Mansion that has been rebuilt and renovated.

Over the years, the prestige of the Delin family has always been very high.

Many nobles wanted to befriend this glorious and powerful Gwen knight.

So they gave gifts to the Delin family.

Whether it's antiques, gold, jewelry, jade, gorgeous treasures and exotic treasures.

This is also the reason why the Delin family looks so wealthy these days.

The knights watched as Knight Gwen rode on a white horse and walked into the mansion accompanied by Victor.

The old knight just now also said with a very serious expression:

"What happened today cannot be disclosed for the time being."

It stands to reason that these outcasts who suddenly enter the country without identity must be brought to the Order to test their identity.

Such a trivial matter as capturing the outcasts does not require the presence of Knight Captain Gwynn in person.

But the Valkyrie of the Empire came forward for the first time.

She didn't say it, but everyone knew it.

That man must not be taken away by them.

The knight on the side was a little worried, and asked:

"What if Your Majesty asks......

In the royal capital, everything that happened could not escape the eyes of the empress.

Just like the appearance of the outcasts today, the Empress will definitely receive the news.

When the time comes, if their knights can't say something, the empress will definitely ask to the end.

Hearing this, the older knight straightened his helmet again, turned to the person beside him and smiled,

"Don't worry, even if Her Majesty asks, you'll be fine."

As he spoke, he tugged at the reins.

The white steed below raised its front hooves, shook its head, exhaled a slight neigh, and turned back.

"Alright boys, we should go back."

"Don't disturb the knight captain's two-person world."
