"Why aren't you dead? This guy deserves to be eaten by wild dogs!"

The female knight named Tahi grinded her teeth slightly, cursing in her heart, but unfortunately, no matter how vicious the curse was, the smiling face still swayed slightly from a few feet away.

Time had advanced four hourglasses, and a group of knights had arrived at their new residence, a small farm on the outskirts of Illyria, belonging to a third count who served in the city, ostensibly with only a few dozen peasants and a few servants to manage it, but in an unknown place a small fortress had been carved out, a walled barn was a small tower, and the farmhouse below it was made of bluestone, and there was even a small meeting hall and several warehouses underneath, plus two floors underground for a hundred people。

Now, in one of the partition rooms, several knights sat upside by, watching an interrogation. And the one who was interrogated was naturally the young man with long gray hair.

It's just that this guy still looks leisurely, and he sits in the central chair in a very relaxed manner, with that hateful smile, as if he is not worried about his situation at all. Although a pair of eyes were half-open and half-closed, the female knight always felt that he was secretly looking at herself, and that kind of gaze that seemed to be substance could not be defended even by the magic armor on her body, as if a swarm of ants were crawling all over her, itching and upsetting.

How the hell did this guy fool the teacher?

At that moment at noon, as long as the four knights' swords continued to fight, he would have to die even if he had five lives, but it was a pity that the four knights had superb swordsmanship. There was still some strength left for the sword, so he stopped in time when the old knight shouted. It's a pity that the sword control is a pity - although superb swordsmanship is a must-have ability for the knights of Jin Jinhua, but at this moment, the female knight named Tahiti really hopes that the swordsmanship of those knights is a little worse. It would be nice to have the sword open the neck of this pesky guy and kill him.

However, the reality is never as one thinks.

At that critical moment, the old knight spoke out to stop the radical action of the four Jin Jinhua knights, and gave a sufficient reason - as a knight, you must not kill innocents indiscriminately, if this person is really a spy, then find out how he knows the purpose and route of his group, and it is far more important to appear next to the four people 'justly' than to kill a spy. And if he's just an unlucky guy who happens to run into a qiē. Then there would be no reason to kill him. Eventually, they brought the guy here and handed him over to a full-time interrogator, a wizard skilled in enchantment, and a priest who could detect lies.

Let's just let you live a little longer...... As soon as you're sure you're lying, I'll personally teach you a memorable lesson and see how long you can keep that idiot's smile on your face!

The knightess thought so at the time, but now that the time comes, she realizes that it is not at all what she imagined. On the contrary, it is quite tricky -

"Your name?" asked one of the knights in charge of the interrogation.

"Edward. ”

"Edward?haha...... You can't just happen to be Vincent, are you?"

Although the voice of the reply was soft, the name made everyone's expressions freeze for a moment, and there was an eerie silence in the space for a while, but the silence was immediately broken by laughter. Even the female knight, who was eager to tear this vulgar scoundrel apart, couldn't help but sneer.

"Of course not, my surname is Snowden. The young man showed some confusion: "If the surname is Vincent, is there any benefit?"

"The benefits? There are a lot of benefits. You don't even know about that Archmage of the monster of Tumenis?"

"I do know that there are a lot of archmages in Tumenis, but I don't seem to have one. ”

"Stupid fellow, even those crossbows you stole have his name engraved on them, right?"

"Wait. There are two mistakes here, first of all. When the master dies, there is no owner. I picked it up, and the name engraved on it was Burgundy, a city, and I'd heard it. ”

"Burgundy is the city of the archmage! Also, there is no ownerless thing on the battlefield, even the belongings of the dead soldiers are considered relics or trophies of the victors, this is the rule of the sacred laws of the Empire!

"Was that a war? wasn't it black eating black? and, ah, the armor on this Baroness Tahiti seems to have been made in Burgundy, right?

"Which eye of yours sees me proud!"

The man tilted her head slightly in confusion, staring at the female knight's gaze, so that she finally couldn't bear to snort coldly—it took only a few words to start asking, but the topic was unconsciously led away by the scoundrel guy, and even pulled to herself! The feeling of being fooled made anger rise in her heart again: "Don't try to fool Lemon with nonsense! You spy, tell me honestly who sent you! What do you want to know when you approach us! What do you want to know! What do you want to do!" ”

"Don't be kidding, Miss Baron, I'm a good man, not a spy, just an ordinary passer-by who came to Illyria to eat!"

"Passers-by, will passers-by quietly approach a dozen knights without anyone noticing?"

"I led the horse to your eyes, and you didn't pay attention? no matter how powerful it is, it won't make the horse silent, right?"

Tahidi gritted her teeth and rolled her gaze, and then an angry expression froze on her face - the mage and the priest in charge of detection and verification nodded slightly to her at the same time, indicating that what this guy just said was not a lie!

In other words, he is just a poor unlucky guy who has been involved in this matter?

If it were a normal day, the female knight might have questioned the results of this detection...... But now that there are two ways of divine magic and arcane art gathered here, even if this person really has any ability, it is impossible to deceive the magic net and divine power at the same time, otherwise, why does he need to be a spy? Not to mention that even Tahiyi, who is not qualified for the perception of the magic net, can see it. His affinity for the magic net is close to zero, even if he is given a magic item. He may not be able to use it, let alone anything else!

“...... When the knight said he could make me a knight. Actually, I refused. Because you can't make me do it, I can do it right away. First, I always have to think about it, because I don't want to be an unlucky soldier and die on the battlefield, what is the meaning of such a life? Is it actually cannon fodder to say that a knight is actually cannon fodder...... But then these knights really proved that they were capable, so naturally I couldn't let go of the opportunity, you see, I came to Illyria to make a living, to be a rich ...... No. A squire of a promising knight, in fact, not bad. If it's an adult with a knighthood, then you don't need me to come forward to fight, you can also learn some swordsmanship or something, if the knight is promoted, the squire is more or less a butler or something, a dragon slaying knight, his squire is also quite great, isn't it?

"We have some covert operations. I can't sue you for ...... for the time being."

"Oh, secret, it's better not to tell, people like me know too much and it's easy to go wrong. It shouldn't be to overthrow the dynasty or something, right? Haha, of course it can't be ......."

"It's not, but it's pretty much the same. Don't ask......"

"Of course, of course, Illyria is very well guarded now. There are knights of the Elector, I heard that they can summon thunder......"

"What's the big deal. It's just some ......."

The interrogation that followed was bound to be lackluster...... The man's eloquent but incomparably philistine answer made almost all the knights frown, but it also greatly increased the credibility of the process. Everyone can see that this guy has nothing on him, he doesn't know anything, and there is no point in entanglement.

The female knight Mo sighed, nodded to the teacher, and got up and left the room. But when he turned to the staircase that led to the ground, he stopped and leaned against the wall beside him. Cover your cheeks with your hands.

The iron gloves brought a slight coolness, but the heat on the cheeks seemed to be burning.

Why are you so excited?

That guy seems to be a veritable nameless scoundrel, no deception, no secrets, so his anger is especially ridiculous - it doesn't matter if it's a spy or not, but what is he doing just now? Not only did he yell and scream, but he actually grabbed the interrogation questions, but the questions were completely inconsequential......

The knights here are all strangers, this kind of appearance...... Even if there is no problem, it is inevitable that others will guess what the problem is.

That damn bastard, you must find a chance to kill him!

"Huh, who are you going to kill?"

After a few vicious curses in her heart, the agitated mind had just calmed down, but the whispered question seemed like a sharp knife piercing her heart, and she jumped up and drew her sword with a bang!

At least a dozen feet, a stride away, and then you can plunge the blade into the man's heart, watch the blood gushing to bring him to death, or slit his throat?

But this can only be thought about, because the man was still followed by Tahiyi's two knight companions, so she could only grit her teeth angrily and put her sword back into the sheath: "You...... You, what are you looking at! And you two, why did you bring this guy out?"

"I'm done asking, I don't have any questions, so naturally I'm going to come out?"

The two knights looked at the angry but flushed face of the female knight in a daze, and the appearance that they had never seen in their memory was unexpectedly delicate, which made them look in a daze, so a certain 'guy' responded with a smile: "I live in a room with them, right next to your and the teacher's residence, and the teacher told us to be on standby there......"

"Shut up!" the female knight couldn't bear it anymore and almost drew her sword again: "The teacher doesn't have a student like you!"

"What the knight promised, you can't go back on it, right?"

"You!"

Fortunately, the room was not far away, and the female knight was spared repeated anger.

The room for the knights was on the ground, but obviously it could not be exquisite, and there were four beds in one room, and the beds were all simply woven hay, which was clearly new, and smelled of straw, which was enough in the late summer weather. But it was still too rudimentary for the knights, and the two knights frowned from the moment they entered the room. But the guy who called himself Edward lay directly on it and stretched, his eyes half-squinting in satisfaction.

The country man is really the best place to go in the countryside.

For this style. The two knights did not hide their disdain, and the younger one even mocked: "Your Excellency, you have been wronged by living in such a place." ”

It's a pity that Cheng Dù's ridicule of someone didn't feel it at all, just sighed a little: "Archmage, it's so good...... In the northwest, there is nothing elegant in naming it, and there is almost one named Edward in a village, and maybe there are several more. Because the name is said to be good for money, many people call it this. But this is good, and it will be very face-saving to call this name in the future. ”

For this kind of vulgar feeling, the two knights were helpless, and simply remained silent. But this named Edward never understood the atmosphere: "Teacher, what are they planning, mysterious and secretive? Is there another nobleman who is going to be unlucky? Raiding the family and exterminating the clan? Because they are afraid of being discovered, they secretly mobilize people from other places?"

"You shouldn't know, you'd better not ask. The two knights looked at each other, wary at the same time.

"That's right. You don't know. ”

"Bastard, who said we don't know, we're here to save people......"

"Shut up!"

The young knight's angry words were interrupted by a woman's voice, and Tahidi stepped from the doorway to the bed in two steps. He grabbed the guy by the collar and looked him in the eye: "Don't think that you can explore the secret without evading the magic detection, if there is a little bad intention, let me find out." I'm going to cut off your head right away!"

"Secret...... What's the use of a few knights getting so many secrets?"

For the anger on the pretty face that is close at hand. Someone just shook his head: "Listening to the stories in those taverns, aren't all knights supposed to be above board?" Even if you want to kill someone, you have to write a war letter in front of you, slap each other in the face with gloves, and then kill each other with a spear...... You guys are sneaking around like this, or are you meeting underground and planning. Naturally, it seems that there is no light of sight...... Or is he not optimistic about your ability to keep secrets?"

The female knight was speechless again.

Angrily shook off the guy, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned in her heart - she herself didn't like this sneaky style, but what the respected teacher did must have some deep meaning. It's just that the development of the shape in front of me is by no means optimistic - just the scale of this place of residence is already so large, with an underground layer and even a farm as a disguise, there are not many things that require such a stealthy action, and the matter involves the ...... of the Golden Flower Knights

Assassination, or rebellion?

Two terrible associations surfaced and then dissipated - there was no possibility of rebellion in Illyria at all, and Jin Jinhua, especially the Thunder Red Dragon, had guarded the entire city extremely well, and as for assassination...... It is even more foolish to use knights who can only fight on horseback to carry out assassinations.

Love was in turmoil in her heart, and she didn't notice it at all, the man who fell on the bed squinted, and his black pupils had already lit up with two mysterious silver whites.

It's a bit disappointing.

A group of people seems to be mysterious, but in fact, they are just the lowest level of miscellaneous fish, and even the two priests and mages in charge of interrogation are not in the core, and they don't know much. These few claims to know—in fact, they are all vague. It seems that the person who really calls the shots has not yet arrived, and the old knight, who is most likely to know some of the inside story, is more likely to be defensive and tenacious, and wants to find out the inside story with a lot of strength.

Like the so-called 'Edward Snowden', this body is just an illusory shadow. Although it saves too much power to alarm more trouble. But there is even less that can be done......

However, the veins that are not buried deep may still be able to be sorted out.

Knights are not like mages, they are more and more valuable, for warriors, youth is the capital, and the peak of the human body is only twenty or thirty years, and the golden age is halved, so if you have not comprehended the edge of the so-called rules before the age of thirty-five, then generally speaking, it is already hopeless for life, unless you encounter some great luck later, such as the legend of getting the dragon's blood or something.

After the age of fifty, no matter how much you exercise, the human body cannot stop the natural law of continuous decline, coupled with the accumulation of old injuries that knights often have, if an old knight at this age is not good at command, he usually has to choose to return to his own territory to retire. And now, what can you do to transfer an old fellow who has obviously been old enough to bring back to Illyria?

What does he specialize in, right?

Although there were not many people in contact with this 'interrogation', only twenty or thirty, it was enough for Edward to notice the outstanding abilities of these knights- Except for the three apprentices of the old knight, they are all about thirty years old, with a long and muscular body, and excellent reflexes, especially rare is the mental fortitude and mental toughness, although the affinity for the magic net is not too good, but if it is trained, it can do a lot of things, such as the use of the magic equipment that the female knight showed before.

If we infer from this aspect, the old knight was probably sent to this place mainly to teach this kind of thing.

Magic items and scrolls are not as convenient as spells, but they are faster, and if they can be used on a large scale by a group of people, even if they are just a large road item such as a fireball wand, the damage can be quite impressive. (To be continued......)
