Chapter 14: Stay
"The others can go, and I allow them to stay in the city for another day, and they will not perform or make trouble. My people do not need this corrupt and depraved entertainment to shake their hearts. When Count Groot saw that Diarlandor had been brought over, he commanded the knight of Angsai, who was standing aside.
The knight of Angsai immediately retreated, sending Zoya and the others out the way they had come. Zoya asked uneasily, "What about our bodyguards?"
The knight replied apologetically: "I can't give you permission now, if Miss Pith just wants to take a look, she will probably be able to go down the mountain to meet you in a while, but ......"
"But how?" Zoya asked worriedly.
"But Miss Pith has a collecting penchant, as you can tell by the maids beside her. You have to be prepared to change bodyguards. But don't worry, if the city owner keeps him, he will definitely give you appropriate compensation. The Angsai Knight was also frank and bluntly said the worst outcome.
"Doom...... Aren't you city lords worried about what's wrong?" Zoya's face was very delicate, after all, how could a man in love tolerate his beloved woman to collect a handsome and good-looking squire like Dearlando, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?
The knight of Angsai paused slightly, Zuihou looked at Zoya's beautiful face, and with an anxious look, he still decided to tell the truth. "Ahem...... If you have to stay alive, there are many ways to deal with it, and in some places, the attendants in the deep boudoir compound deal with it like this. If he's your boyfriend, I think I can only advise you to mourn and change. ”
The faces of the people who understood the meaning of the knight of Angsai became a little subtle, and Fayl felt a little faint pain, but he felt a little funny, if it wasn't for the front of people, it was estimated that he would daxiao three times.
At this point, Zoya wanted to say anything, and the five of Zuihou received a bag of gold coins from the newly rewarded and went down the mountain inexplicably.
In the dining room, Dearlando stood quietly ten steps in front of the table with his head bowed, feeling a few lines of sight sweeping over him.
"Look up, get closer. After looking at it for a moment, Count Grude ordered Diarlando to step forward. Dearlando has a feeling of being judged as a slave, but he doesn't want to be exposed, so he can only obediently obey.
Kenda sat there with an indifferent face on the surface, but in fact, he was already smiling very hard, and he could only hide his expression by drinking at the moment.
"Blue and green, it's rare. Do you like it?" the city lord glanced at Deirlando, his tone a little colder, but he still asked Adele in a restrained and soft voice.
Adele looked at Dearlandor's eyes in a little surprise and said happily: "It's rare to see such a pure color, just like my cat, I like it~"
"Okay, dig it up and give it to you. As soon as he finished speaking, Count Grude rose up, drew his sword and stabbed Diarlandor. At this time, Diarrando couldn't pretend to be dead, and hurriedly pulled out the ordinary saber he brought to defend.
The family of Count Grude has always been strict, and all the heirs have refined their martial arts since childhood, and the Count himself has very good martial arts. This sword is not only fast, but also big enough, and Dierlando is unwilling to reveal his strength, so he can only choose the strategy of fighting and retreating.
After the long swords intersected, Dearlando immediately turned the blade of the sword and pushed the opponent's liliang to the side. However, Count Grude did not do what he wanted, but turned around and slashed at him with another sword, and Diarlando had to bite the bullet and use his own sword to catch it again.
The crisp sound of metal striking echoed through the halls, and Dearrando deftly slid his sword away with a deft twist of his wrist, unslashing the Count's slash.
Neither sword did any damage to the other, and Count Grude's face became even more ugly, and he turned his backhand along the sliding sword momentum to stab from the bottom up. The position and variation of this sword are quite subtle, forcing Dearlando to smash it hard with his sword.
The cheap longsword of the blacksmith collided with the count's pure gold longsword, and sure enough, it broke into two. The sword bounced back, and Dearlando had no choice but to slam his upper body backwards, letting go of the flying fragments.
Adele exclaimed excitedly, looking at the fight on the field with excitement on her face, as if she couldn't wait to see the scene of Dillandor bleeding all over the ground.
Naturally, the Earl would not let go of such an opportunity, and turned around with another stab, Deirlandor only had a half-truncated sword in his hand, and the traces of the shattering had spread to the part close to the hilt of the sword, and he would definitely not be able to take the power of this sword.
With a crisp snap, a black shadow flew out, and another silver light shot into the two men in the battle. There was silence in the hall, except for the slight rapid breathing of the Count and Dearlando.
"Kenda Knight, what do you mean by that?" both men of the battle stopped, as a silver spear was stuck across the floor between the two men, one of the Knight's famous personal weapons.
"It's nothing, I just think this mercenary's swordsmanship is a little familiar, and I want to ask who he learned it from. And he can resist the three swords of Count Grude, and his swordsmanship is quite good, so it's a pity to kill him like this, so why not let him serve the country?"
Kenda smiled slightly, calmly raised his hand, and the short gun on the ground flew back into his palm with a whoosh as if it had been summoned. "I was commissioned by the king to investigate the frequent attacks on caravans on the South Wind Road, and I didn't bring any subordinates, why don't you give me face and send this person to me as an attendant?"
There seemed to be a flash of sparks between the two, and the atmosphere was a little tense. At this time, Adele suddenly spoke, and softly explained Count Grude: "Gundase~ I'm just curious to take a look, so I don't want any eyeballs, it's so scary~ This person wants it, so let it be for him." ”
Listening to Adele's words, Count Grude's attitude softened significantly, and he waved his hand to retract his sword and sheath it, but found that it could not be inserted. When he looked down, he realized that his long sword had a cheap scabbard that didn't match at some point.
His face suddenly turned ugly, and he looked up at Diarrando carefully. At this moment, Dearrando stood honestly to the side, his hands empty, and the sword belt on his waist was also empty.
It turned out that in order to block the Earl's Zuihou blow just now, the only half of Dierlando's remaining sword was also knocked away, and Zuihou had no choice but to use the scabbard to lasso the Earl's long sword. In this way, even if it is really cut, it is equivalent to being hacked with a stick.
Although Dearlandor's body will not be injured by the sword, for ordinary people, if it is cut by the sword without bleeding, it will definitely be treated as a monster. But luckily, Kenda took action to solve the problem.
"Hmph...... Sure enough, the martial arts are acceptable, what is your name?You're going to be a bodyguard for these lowly wandering artists?" As long as he is not carried away by jealousy, Count Grove is still a reasonable person, and he also has a little pity at the moment, and he is interested in the identity of the mercenary in front of him.
"My name is Dil, I was originally a subordinate of the lord of the small northwestern city of Asolan, since the invasion of Bran's army, our city was destroyed, I was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, I wandered around, I met the circus in the most difficult time, they took me in, and I was gracious, so I protected them as a reward. ”
Diarlando casually made up a resume and replied to Earl Grude, as far as he knew, the city of Urlead had never had much contact with the interior, and he should not be able to see through this false identity.
"I see...... Then you don't have to be wronged to continue to follow the circus, I will give them some rewards as compensation, and you can follow the Kenda Knights. He is the leader of the Radiant Knights, and he is a totemic knight, and you will have a great future with him. With that, Count Grude returned to his seat.
Dearlando looked around, not knowing what to do next. Sensing that Kenda was waving at him, he took the opportunity to stand behind Kenda and honestly act as his attendant.
The second half of the meal was spent in soft words between the lord of the city and Adele, and after the meal, the lord of the city, in order to show his attention, let his son take Kenda to the room where he was resting.
The servants had already cleaned up the room, which was located in the upper part of the mountain, with a window facing the sea, and a great view. After Master Holm sent the people there, he hurriedly took his leave, but before leaving, he still glared at Diarlando fiercely, obviously very dissatisfied with the sudden addition of a demon eye in the castle.
Kenda watched the door close, listened to the people outside walking away, and then turned around and said with a smile: "Come, squire, help me take off my armor~"
"Take off your head!" Dearlando unceremoniously smashed Kenda's helmet on, "How dare you laugh at me!"
"Hahahaha, it's a rare opportunity, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don't smile. Do you know how nervous His Highness Ruidan was when he received the blood letter from your Flying Eagle?I happened to be in the city, and he immediately ran to me and asked me to come and save you!" Kenda reached out and grabbed his helmet and placed it on the table next to him.
"I just came back from the border buffer zone, and I didn't even take a sip of tea and came to you wearing a full suit of heavy armor! You're waiting here to be raised as a pet cat by a noble lady, what are you doing?"
Diarrando was stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile: "Oh, isn't that written in fish blood, that kid Ruidan can't see it, can't you see it?" I just found out that there was a problem here, I happened to be locked up in prison at the time, and I had what materials at hand and what materials were used, who knew that he reacted so much." ”
Kenda snorted noncommittally and began to clank off her armor. His armor was magically crafted and far easier to put on and take off than normal armor, and after a few moments, he finally freed himself from the metal cage, and then walked over to the chair, sat down heavily, and asked questions.
"Your Highness, what have you found here, and what is the matter with the long-overdue Bran's follow?"
