"You know him?"
The female knight turned her puzzled gaze to the speaker, who was passing through the array of several knights, and the loud voice that had just come out made his breathing a little urgent. However, he still reluctantly came up with an answer.
"Yes...... In the name of the Ralphs family, I can vouch for that he is not a cultist, because he is...... Students of the Academy. The comer took a deep breath and continued, "Also Alber......"
"It turned out to be Willian, long time no see. ”
The young, mocking, but seemingly able to quietly penetrate into the hearts of the people, sounded again, making the three people who were talking...... And all the knights around him couldn't help but be surprised.
It's too close.
The black robe, at some point, had already floated in front of them ten feet of sight, the white luster of the dancing light technique shone, the soft and pitch-black robe, like the deepest light and shadow, so that no one could even notice how he had crossed the distance of more than 100 feet and suddenly came to the front of the three horses!
"Long time no see, Master Apprentice. Such a chance encounter is really gratifying...... "What broke the silence was a series of metal frictions, but in this sabre-rattling voice, the greeting was particularly warm and rare."
Willian Ralphs.
A slight smile appeared on half of his face under the black hood...... The little nobleman in front of him, who had a strong sense of justice, did not seem to have changed much, although he added a brown robe to symbolize his apprentice in addition to his noble attire, but his personality of sparing no effort to correct anything that he thought was necessary to be corrected did not seem to have changed in the slightest.
"It's been a month, and it seems that you are improving again, so I really need to congratulate you. ”
Speaking of which, despite all the hard work he had made to enter the magic academy, he had never really taken a decent course there, so he only had a rough idea of all his classmates...... Except for Cecilia and Miguel. Willian, whom he had known since before he entered the school, was one of the most familiar people. So he didn't mind, give the other party a little necessary
"Okay, how did you get here? I don't think the academy is on summer vacation, right?"
"Well, I'm ...... to the academy Applied for an assignment. I have prepared some materials for the collection. So I have some free time to deal with my own affairs," the mage apprentice smiled and nodded, "Your Excellency, in your capacity, why waste your tongue in such a place? Otherwise it's really too ......."
"No way, I'm also on a mission assigned to me by His Excellency the Mentor, and I don't want people to recognize me and make a big deal out of it...... But now it looks like it's been big enough. ”
The Psychic Mancer explained symbolically...... In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh that the other party's luck was good - when he determined the identity of those knights, he had already thought of a set of blackmail tricks, at least he could make the duke suffer some losses in terms of reason, so that he could do so. When it comes to the migration of those half-elves, you can take the initiative enough, but it's a pity that this classmate appeared out of time, but saved these two hairs for the first time.
Speaking of these two hairy heads......
The male aside, the female paladin made him a little curious - because the female character is delicate and calm, and she is also more tenacious, so although the proportion is still small, it is not uncommon to be a paladin. It's just that the paladin became the de facto commander of a city defense army. This example is a minority of the few. Normally, in order to show their unbiased force, paladins only act with priests or temple guards, while some will coexist with adventurers and only nobles...... Those doors. Hidden under the high walls of the family, the darkness has always been spurned and despised by the holy warriors, who would rather bend than bend, and the four-petaled character of following justice in everything also made it difficult for the nobles to be in the company of them.
Or the sight of a psychic warlock, who finally made Willian aware of his mistake...... He smiled apologetically. Begin to introduce the two companions who were hanging there close to half an hourglass scale.
"Lord Edward, this Miss Yulia. Well, Lord Paladin is the daughter of the Duke, and although she has been converted to the god of the dawn for a long time, there are times when she still works for the Duke...... He contributed to the maintenance of order and justice in Gushan Castle. And this is Klein Letney Thyssenkru......"
I see, the real rich second generation.
His gaze paused on the face that was a combination of martial and feminine, and Edward smiled softly. Nodding to the latter: "I have heard of the name for a long time." He said—while Willian's introduction to the man continued at this time, the mage ignored him, just looked at the woman.
Of course, this is not arrogant, or lustful...... Spiritual power falls gently like the tiniest silk thread, accurately absorbing every usable signal on the surface of the opponent's spirit.
This is a difficult job, after all, the more devout the believer, the more difficult it is for the spirit to penetrate...... It was a fortified castle built by the perfection of the self and the strengthening of divine power.
“...... Lord Klein is the nephew of Lord Marquis Thyssenkrup, but he aspires to be a true knight, so he now serves in Drum Mountain City as a centurion and knight captain. ”
"I've heard of it for a long time. The...... Well, Lord Edward. ”
The knight on the maroon horse laughed and stroked the chest of the Psychic Warlock: "I didn't expect your magical attainments to be so profound, even if you are an eagle chick, you are not a creature comparable to a sparrow. ”
"It's just a little trick. Just to calm you and your subordinates a little bit, please don't be surprised if it's rude. "Since we are all acquaintances, then you don't have to worry about any 'collision' and 'offense' and other issues, and I won't take these things to heart. ”
The Psychic Warlock narrowed his eyes and spoke in a tone of course.
Of course, this kind of 'generous' statement did not get some gratitude from the other party...... Willian Ralphs froze for a moment, and could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and the paladin. At the moment, however
"William, you say...... This Excellency is just an apprentice, just like you?"
The paladin narrowed her eyes and waved her hand at the man, so a few half-elves from the original Biqu Pavilion at the gate of the temple swaggered through the open space in front of the knight and walked over, and she couldn't help but furrow deeply.
Yes, although the head, hood and even mask cover the face, the slender wrists of the few people around the other party are elegant and gentle between gestures. It was still enough for the observant paladins to completely fix their identities......
I remembered that I had just faced the enemy's cousin. The paladin's heart was extremely unhappy...... An apprentice mage, no matter how good he is, is just a spellcaster who has mastered the spell of the Three Rings, and he has enough control in terms of military power. There were even four full-fledged mages in the team, and they actually cowered in front of that little imp, even in the face of the spellcaster, they should be cautious at all times, but this situation. To describe it as cautious, it is more appropriate to say that it is timid!
This feeling makes the other party's face with a hooded shadow and a smile look particularly dazzling.
"Yes, Lord Edward is an apprentice mage, but he is not quite like me. This one...... But this time he seems to have an important task on his body, and therefore, for his identity. I won't give too much into it, but he's the most capable of our apprentices. ”
Willian tried to weigh his tone as best he could, pointing out a little bit of what was strong about his peers...... A task entrusted by a ** division. He had no way of knowing what it would be, so he naturally complied with the other party's statement that he wanted to protect his identity.
But that doesn't mean it's any lower. The anger in the heart of his companion.
"So, could you please ask the apprentice to explain? Why did you appear in this cultist's lair at this time?"
The paladin took a deep breath, suppressing her strange thoughts, and she stared at the black robe floating in the air, her eyes as bright as a burning flame. For a moment, it seems to have become a kind of power that exists in substance, able to squeeze out all the secrets in the heart of the person being questioned.
However, for that person, this gaze did not play a role in the slightest, and it was just a woman's gaze on him.
"As I said, I'm just passing through here, but as a mage, isn't it a stupid expression if you don't have the slightest interest in a temple that claims to be the god of knowledge?" ”
"It's a good time...... Well, you're Mr. Edward? I'm sorry, according to my father...... Lord Duke's order, all the half-elves who appear in this area today must be strictly vetted,"
"If there is no mistake in my understanding, the Duke's order refers specifically to your half-elves here, and the people around me are my servants and companions, and have nothing to do with your half-elves here,"
Edward interrupted her with a sneer: "Also, if you're going to arrest some thug or something...... Then I am honored to tell you that there are a dozen or so people in the temple, and one of them is a spellcaster, but they have lost their resistance, even if it is a small compensation for my hindrance to your actions. ”
"What?"
The female knight was stunned again.
......
The plan for the offensive seemed to end sooner than expected......
In other words, it has already ended before it has begun.
Edward's expected counterattack didn't happen, let alone the most time-consuming street fighting—the guards, knights, and magicians drove straight in, searching the three-story building for about half an hourglass, and then declared the purge over. A small group of men then left with the dozen elves and the hapless spellcaster, leaving another group of soldiers to guard the temple. And no one mentioned the complex that connected to the back of the main hall, as if they were only trying to catch a dozen people in the hall from the beginning.
Such a scribbled expression made Edward really look sideways.
Of course, in fact, whether they succeeded or failed was a matter of little concern to Edward...... If the roots of that church were uprooted, it would be even more difficult for him to take the next step, but the result of such a sloppy result is really quite interesting.
Squinting his eyes, Edward looked thoughtfully at the busy knights...... He didn't think that the passage was so hidden that it was difficult to see, so it may be that a few lucky guys who woke up first warned the people inside and blocked the road, but it is more likely that some of these people have already been infiltrated by some forces...... And the leader of this group of people is a confused little girl. It's easy to hide from her. She hadn't set foot in the temple until the end.
Well, the girl doesn't look that small anymore...... At least Edward could notice the deliberately created curvature on the delicate silver breastplate. Unless she's prepared to deliberately put on a show.
"Well, now that the purge is over. Can we leave?" Edward asked.
"This ......" the female knight hesitated visibly for a moment.
For this person, she had extremely strong doubts in her heart, naturally she didn't want him to leave like this, but she was looking for a suitable excuse. Obviously not a job that a paladin is good at.
However, compared to her, the knight was obviously much more capable.
"Oops, it's getting late, and that's it, even though our purge is over. In order to protect your safety, if it is convenient for me to invite a few people to stay in the city lord's mansion in Gushan City on behalf of His Excellency the Duke. The young knight said with a smile on his face,
Obviously, the head is still spinning - this kind of invitation is not much different from house arrest. As long as he enters the castle, then even if this eccentric mage apprentice has great skills, he must not be able to fly.
Of course, even if the other party refuses. He also made several plans to block the other party's reasons - but to his surprise, and what was pleasant, that person actually nodded: "That's right." The hotels in the city are not very comfortable, and for a poor apprentice like me, the cost of travel is a bit stretched, since you have kindly invited you. You're welcome, too."
Such a smooth situation made the nobleman named Klein a little stunned.
Of course he wouldn't know. The original purpose of that psychic was to meet with the Duke.
......
"Thank you...... Head of Apprenticeship. As he and Willian boarded a carriage toward the centre of town, the little nobleman suddenly spoke, "It seems that I have caused you some trouble. ”
He had a point, and if he hadn't shown up, Edward would have been able to leave without any interference from the city defenders—assuming that Edward really intended to do so, of course.
So, in response to this apology, Edward just smiled and shook his hand. "You seem to know them well."
"Well...... Well, nothing, my family, and the Duke of Greenland have some ...... Well, the correspondence between the nobles, so there are so many sides to Miss Yulia. Willian pondered for a moment and replied cautiously
However, Edward's narrow words soon made him blush.
From that cramped appearance, it seems that this is far from simple...... I said, you don't like this young lady, do you?"
"Ahem, you...... You're laughing, Lord Edward,"
Staring at the person who suddenly couldn't match his impression with wide eyes, he coughed a few times, and Willian, who was caught off guard, finally managed to squeeze out a peaceful expression: "Well, Lord Duke doesn't seem to have any plans to talk about Miss Yulia's marriage now, and a holy warrior of the God of Dawn is not ......"
"There are no rules against marriage among the holy warriors...... Besides, some people have said that mages and paladins work best together, at least I know it...... No, it's in the story, there was such a match, the calmness of the mage and the holy warrior are in the same vein...... It's just a pity, it's said that every man who likes heroic girls is a natural masochist, I don't know if you're like that?"
"This ......"
"Hey, Edward, you're not going to talk about yourself again, are you?"
Miss Lisa......, who was sitting next to Edward, suddenly interjected, and without hesitation, revealed some facts: "It's really like things, you and your friends seem to have similar hobbies?"
"Actually, if it was Mr. Edward, it would probably not just be hated......" The ghost made a miracle, and little Ryan on the other side also whispered to himself, unceremoniously making up for it. Miss Lisa stroked her palms exaggeratedly and laughed: "Ha, by the way, it's really not just annoying, if you were like that, she might want to judge you as an evil person...... So, if you don't have Edward's strength, you'd better not ...... Woohoo......"
"Stupid, I'm asking this guy! Shut up!"
"What...... Whoa...... Edward, you're just a ......."
"Okay, okay, I'm surrendering, apprentice ......" The messiness in front of him made Willian a little stunned, but then, he seemed to think of something, suddenly smiled, and raised his hand: "To be honest, I do want to pursue her, but this is not because of love, but the marriage of the two families...... There are stories about Ralphs, ThyssenKruft, and the Rytzger family. ”
