Sawan sulked at Exewin, so much so that at first he didn't even hear the conversation between Hortz and the Earl and the others, and when he recovered, the Count just said, "Savan, I have discussed with your regimental commander and want to borrow you, what do you think?"

"What?" Sawin looked at the Count in surprise, and then at Hortz, who saw a helpless wry smile on his face. The whole living room suddenly became silent, and everyone was focused on Savin, waiting for him to give his answer. Sawin asked with a blank face, "What are you going to do with me?"

The people around the earl saw that Sawin was not polite at all, and there was an unhappy look on their faces, but the earl smiled kindly and said: "Here's the thing, I am going to leave for the royal capital to celebrate the king's birthday in the near future, because I have to carry many valuable gifts, so I would like to ask you and Eliza to be my bodyguards." ”

Sawan also thought that he had misheard, and that he should discuss with the head of the regiment if he wanted to hire a bodyguard, why he and Eliza should be the bodyguards alone. Sawin looked at Hortz again, Hots took a sip of tea, and then explained: "Lord Earl has entrusted other tasks to the mercenary group, so well, the bodyguard matter can only be sent to a few people, and the Earl asked you and Eliza to carry out this mission." Hortz said, he couldn't help but feel a little fever on his face, he didn't agree to this anyway, but the Count gave the mercenary group two well-paid tasks, which made it difficult for Hortz to refuse, so he could only agree to the Count's request, which made Hortz feel a little ashamed, as if he had betrayed Samin.

Sawin couldn't make up his mind for a while, he looked at Eliza, but saw that she had no idea more than himself, which means that Sawin lacks experience, and if he was someone else, he would have heard what Hortz meant, since Hortz had accepted the task entrusted by the earl, it was equivalent to agreeing to lend Savin and Eliza to the earl. It's a pity that Sawin is not an ordinary person, he doesn't understand these people's feelings at all, and he stupidly asks Hortz's opinion at this time.

"Commander, should I go?" asked Hotz with an innocent expression.

Hortz said with an embarrassed face: "Well...... Naturally, it depends on your opinion, in fact, it's better to go to the royal capital to see, after all, it is a famous and prosperous metropolis on the entire continent......"

"But...... Will this delay my training?" asked Savan, unrelentingly.

Winnett, who was on the side, saw that Hortz's forehead was sweating and had to come over to help him relieve the siege, Winnett said to Savan: "You go, you should be given a holiday, the royal capital of Lin Kai is a good place, especially the big arena there, which is famous on the entire continent......"

At this time, Count Culler came over and interrupted: "That's right, there is also the famous Great Sanctuary of the Magic Guild in Thorin City, I know people there, I can take you to visit it, but ordinary people don't have a chance to enter." ”

Sawan couldn't help but be moved when he saw that Winnet and the Earl were talking wildly, originally the purpose of him and Eliza was to travel everywhere, since there was such a good opportunity, it would be good to open their eyes, not to mention that it was still a mission, and when the time came, there would be a reward to be taken, so why not do it. Sawan had basically agreed to the matter, but he still had to ask Eliza for advice. Sawan threw a look at Eliza, who nodded, and it seemed that she was also looking forward to Thorin City, so Sawan turned to the Count and said, "Well, we agreed. ”

"Wonderful!" said the Earl, clapping his face happily, "Come, bring the wine, we must celebrate." ”

A few servants immediately went to get red wine, and Hortz and Winnett looked at each other, and they both felt that the Earl's excitement was a little exaggerated, and they were not so happy for the sake of the two bodyguards, right?

Two days later, Hortz led the White Griffin Mercenaries on their way home, and Savin and Eliza reluctantly sent them to the castle. In the past two days, Hortz nagged and told the two of them a lot, this time they followed the earl to Thorin City must not encounter any danger, but after all, it is the royal capital of Lin Kaiguo, although it is prosperous, but there are many taboo things, if the two of them do not know the severity of the big shots, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. Originally, Hortz wanted Winnett to go with them, but the Earl did not speak, and he could not bring it up, so he could only remind the two to pay more attention.

After another three days, the Count was finally ready to hit the road, during which the Count sent someone to teach Eliza to ride a horse, while Sawan trained in combat under the supervision of one of the Earl's guards. The Captain of the Guard taught him a very different method from Hortz, who taught Sawin the basics of combat, while the Captain of the Guard trained more like a variety of killing techniques. Sawin didn't think much about it, as long as it was useful, he would learn it, and as for whether it could be used in the future, he would talk about it when the time came.

The count's party numbered in hundreds, more than twenty in his service alone, as well as grooms, soldiers, and Savan, Eliza, and Exeven. Sawan had thought that the Earl's gift was the headband, but when it was time to set out, he realized that he was very wrong, the Sun King's headband was just one of many gifts, in addition to dozens of boxes of various gifts, dazzling jewelry, colorful satin fabrics, and all kinds of suvenirs...... Sawan even suspected that the Count was not going to celebrate his birthday but to do business, and that the team was more like a caravan.

The procession left Pegasus Castle in a majestic manner, and ten knights in polished mirror-like armor opened the way in front of the procession, each knight holding a flagpole, and the multicolored flags on the flagpole fluttered in the wind, Savin and Eliza did not understand the meaning of the patterns on those flags, and listened to the others who accompanied them, and the pattern on each chess piece represented a title of the earl, that is, this Count of Kuler had ten titles. Hearing that the earl has so many titles, Savin and Eliza were dumbfounded, human culture is really too complicated, neither the dragon nor the mermaid are so particular, but the two of them like those flags very much, and there are no such things in the sea.

There was nothing to say on the way, and after ten days, the birthday procession of the Count of Kule arrived at the royal city of Solin in the kingdom of Lin Kai, a large city built on the plain, and the rushing Giant River flowed through the city. The Giant's River is the longest river on the entire continent, connecting eight countries, and when it comes to the hinterland of the Lynke, it makes a big bend here, and the rushing river slows down, thus forming a huge alluvial plain on which the city of Thorin was built. The fertile plains and easy access to the river have made the city of Thorin extraordinarily prosperous, with hundreds of cargo ships arriving here every day and then heading across the continent laden with goods, and it has been said that being rich here is no different from living in paradise.

The count's team was highly courteous to the city guards, everyone knew that this count was rich and powerful, and more importantly, the current king of Linkai was his nephew, and the relationship between the two was not close, so as long as it was a person with a normal brain, no one dared to offend this Count of Kule easily. Count Culler also has an official residence in Thorin City, although it cannot be compared with Pegasus Castle, but it is also one of the largest mansions in the city, more than enough for a thousand people.

Before leaving, the Count had sent someone to inform him that everything was in order, and that it did not take long for the party to settle down when it arrived. That evening, the Count was to go to the palace for a feast, and his knights had their own business, and only Samin, Eliza, and Exewin ate in the great mansion.

Sawan stuffed food into his mouth as he asked Exeven, "What's the most fun place in Thorin City?"

"I don't know......" Exsewin said coldly.

"Didn't you say there was a big arena? where is it?" Savin continued, he was used to Exewin's cold attitude, she did to everyone.

"There's a place like this, you'll see it soon. ”

"What is the Colosseum for?" Eliza interjected.

"The ......" Exewin seemed to hesitate for a moment, then took a sip of red wine before continuing: "The Colosseum is the place where gladiatorial fights take place, and gladiators fight in it to provide entertainment for everyone. ”

After hearing this, Eliza frowned and said, "It sounds bloody, what's so nice about killing each other, humans are really strange!"

Exewin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you say?"

Eliza immediately realized that she had spoken out of her mouth, and quickly covered it up: "I mean, as members of the human race, we shouldn't take pleasure in killing. ”

Sawin was afraid that the more Eliza explained, the easier it would be to show her feet, so she hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "I haven't seen the gladiatorial match yet, so I have to watch it, right?"

"Ah, yes, I should take a look......" Eliza said with a grin.

"Oh, you should go and see it, maybe you can still participate. A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Exewin's face, and it was the first time that Savin and Eliza had seen her smile, and a thought surged in her heart at the same time, this female elf actually looked good when she smiled.
