Volume 5 Echoes of the Sky Chapter 17 The Black Knight

The evening sky was exceptionally clear, a translucent dark blue, which looked beautiful, but there was not a single star hanging in the sky, only a crescent moon swaying lonely with clear light.

Arthur was in the shadows, and the moonlight stretched the shadows long, long. The other blended with Arthur's shadow, Arthur raised his head and looked at a figure standing in the high cornice, with a black wide-brimmed top hat and a black cloak wrapped around his slender body, with a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes looking at Arthur.

Arthur smiled and said, "Stand so high, be careful of falling!"

A deep male voice came: "I hope you are different from them, otherwise I won't let you go." ”

Arthur shook his head and said, "I'm not in the mood tonight, don't appear in front of me in the future, or I'll definitely arrest you." The Black Knight's bounty is not low!"

The Black Knight gave Arthur a deep look, and disappeared into the corner without saying a word.

Arthur sighed, the evil forces here are really arrogant, and he was warned in person as soon as he took office. But he didn't take this Black Knight too seriously, whether you were Superman or Spider-Man, and provoked me to become dead.

......

Early in the morning, in the busy office of the Ministry of Supervision, Janice was immersed in writing a document, her pale blonde pretty short hair hung down from both sides, her bangs cast a shadow on her forehead, and her long eyelashes blinked from time to time.

Arthur stood in front of her desk, knocking on the tabletop, Janice looked up in surprise and looked at the smiling Arthur, "Janice, let's go investigate the Black Knight!"

Janice paused for a moment. Maybe it's because I think of last night's beauty. A blush flashed across her white cheeks. Just wanted to refuse. But looking at Arthur's clear eyes, he couldn't say no. Dizzy by the ** gate.

"My dad will know about you!" said Janice, a little worried.

Arthur said casually, "If you know, you know." We didn't do anything unseemly. "It's hard to say. Arthur's expression was a little strange. It seems that he wants to smile and holds back, obviously remembering what happened last night. Janice was a little sullen. Don't go to see Arthur. Bow your head and stir the coffee on the table. Make a tinkling sound.

Arthur took a gentle sip of the milk on the table. And don't swallow it. Just hold it gently. With one hand propping up his head, he looked out the window at the busy traffic. The atmosphere was a little awkward and ambiguous for a while.

Finally, Janice couldn't help but ask, "That." Aren't we going to investigate the Black Knights? why are you here in this place!" They were sitting in the coffee shop right now. Neither of them was wearing the clothes of the Ministry of Supervision. Janice wears small black leather boots underneath. Smooth trousers. The upper body is a high-necked lilac sweater. The coat was casually rested next to the seat. The whole dress looks very capable and pretty.

And Arthur was still wearing that shirt regardless of the season. Boot. Both are very handsome. It's a bit of a couple to sit here.

Arthur drank the milk and said casually, "I didn't eat breakfast, of course I want to stop by for breakfast." "That's what Arthur does now, he can just hang up an investigation and walk around at will, no one cares about it, and no one expects him to do anything. The reason why Janice was brought here was that he felt that it was not interesting to eat alone, so why not have a beautiful woman to accompany him?

Janice couldn't help but be depressed when she saw Arthur's natural look, she had seen a lot of mixed things, but it was rare to be so upright. Janice made a judgment in her heart, and sure enough, she was a gentleman, although she was not so annoying, but she was exactly the same in her idleness and ambition.

After eating, Arthur began his investigation. asked with a serious face.

"Janice, what is the most beautiful place in the royal capital!"

"Baikal, of course!"

"Okay, let's go investigate, maybe that black knight will be there?"

Arthur took Janice around the shores of Lake Baikal for most of the day, looking for traces of the Black Knight, at this time, there were not many people on the lake, but Arthur investigated very carefully, carefully observing the beautiful and changeable colors of the lake in autumn.

By noon, Arthur felt that he had almost done his investigation, and asked:

"Janice, what's the best thing to eat in the royal capital!"

"There's a barbecue restaurant in the west of the city, which tastes pretty good, but I don't know if it's the best!"

"You've said so, the Black Knight probably loves the barbecue there!"

"Janice......" Arthur asked casually as he ate a barbecue, but was interrupted by Janice just as he could speak.

"What else do you want to play?" said Janice helplessly.

"Don't say that! We're here to investigate, investigate. Arthur sipped the warm fruit wine and corrected Janice solemnly.

Janice put her little head on her arm and said lazily, "Okay then! Then let's go investigate today's dinner!" Janice was just an ordinary girl with no strength, and she was already a little tired after walking all morning.

Arthur noticed Janice's tiredness and said, "Let's go investigate the most luxurious hotel in the royal capital first!" Sure enough, Janice's face immediately turned a little red, evil

Scolding a "stupid" will stop paying attention to Arthur.

Arthur touched his head a little embarrassed, his words were purely unintentional, but he didn't bother to explain anything, and the more he explained some things, the greater the misunderstanding.

Janice squinted at the silent Arthur and thought to herself, shouldn't the man apologize and the woman deliberately pretend to be angry at this time?

But it didn't take long for Janice to break her promise, and she felt that the atmosphere was getting stranger and stranger, not like an awkwardness, but like an awkward couple, and had to find something to break the status quo casually, "Well, where do you live now?"

Arthur casually gave an address, then added, "A small two-story building that the king has rewarded." ”

Janice is more sure of Arthur's identity, the place Arthur is talking about is a noble district where only nobles can live, but most of them are declining nobles who have no rights, and only retain their nominal titles. As for the king's reward? Hmph! Theoretically, everything in the nobility is rewarded by the king, and the guy who likes to brag.

"Well, let's go to your house and have a look!" Janice said casually, but immediately regretted it, which seemed to be similar to going to the hotel, and only hoped that Arthur would refuse.

Arthur raised his head and looked at Janice in front of him with an interesting expression, Janice looked at Arthur with a nonchalant expression, but the blush on her face gradually spread. Arthur opened his mouth slightly, smiled and spit out two words: "Okay!"

Janice was immediately defeated by Arthur's shamelessness. At the checkout, Arthur generously tipped the waiter, so much so that Janice gave him a blank look, thinking that Arthur was dressed so poorly in order to pick up girls, and he gave so much tips. Arthur was smart, but he didn't expect that he had been relegated to the position of a poor man.

Janice hesitated for a moment and asked, "Well, Arthur, are you rich?"

Arthur said for some reason, 'Of course, I'm very rich!'

Janice frowned and said, "Where did you get the money! It's better not to use it indiscriminately!" The salary of the Supervision Department is not very high, she only thinks that Arthur is eating the old book, and in order to pursue her, he slaps his swollen face and becomes fat.

Arthur said strangely, "I have written a book, but I have a lot of money? Why do you care about this, you can't really take a fancy to me!"

Janice raised her eyebrows and made a look of disdain, she didn't believe what Arthur could write!

Arthur also smiled, and didn't take it to heart. Just as the two of them were walking down the street with their own concerns, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. A couple of knights with a whole group of soldiers drove through the street. The originally bustling bazaar immediately jumped up, and vegetables and fruits fell to the ground. Facing the galloping horses rushing straight ahead, Arthur had already pulled Janice to the side of the road.

Janice immediately broke free of Arthur's hand and rushed into the middle of the road, where a little girl was crouching on the ground and crying. The knight immediately tightened his reins, but the horse's hooves were raised and he was about to step on the little girl on the ground. Hearing a whistle, a long whip flew down from the sky and wrapped around the little girl's waist a few times and flew up.

The girl was rescued, but Janice couldn't stop and saw that she was under the horse's hooves. Janice instinctively closed her eyes, but there was no sharp pain as she had imagined. Quietly opened her eyes to see that Arthur was looking at her narrowly, and handed a hand to her, and Janice smiled gratefully and took the hand and stood up.

And the horse's hooves were in Arthur's other hand, and the horse could not move no matter how much he struggled. Seeing that Janice was fine, Arthur gently lowered the horse's hooves and patted the horse's head, and the manic horse immediately quieted down.

On the eaves, a man in black was comforting the little girl in his arms. The knight shouted triumphantly to the man in black, ", you can't run." In a few moments, the guards had fenced off the house, and several had begun to climb up the ladder.

Arthur suddenly realized that these people were all chasing the black knight, and the black knight was running on the roof, and these people could only walk on the ground. I just don't know what good things the Black Knight has done again.

The black knight just smiled lightly, didn't look at the police officer who was chasing him on the ground, put down the little girl in his arms, turned around and jumped to the middle of the road, stepped on the shed of a small shop, and flew lightly towards the other side of the road. These few times the eagle rose and fell, the movements were smooth and agile, and even Arthur couldn't help but shout in his heart.

The knight on the ground was so angry and helpless that he could not have made such a move in chain mail. Indignantly, he took off his helmet and finally sighed softly. He walked up to Arthur and said, "Sorry, meet again!" It turned out to be the older police officer he had seen last night.

Arthur stretched out his hand and shook it gently, and said with a smile: "My name is Arthur, I'm sorry I didn't help you." Arthur also hesitated to make a move, but Janice held his hand tightly, and at this moment of hesitation, the black knight was gone without a trace.
