24 Knights

Sending Penny to the place, Vika bids farewell to Penny outside Mushantil, and in case things go wrong, the boy pays the Bard 200 Belen as a payment for the connection.

He trusted Vika, the intelligence trafficker, and the work ethic for which he was famous.

Then he began to wait quietly in this icy and snowy land, north of the gray forest, the army was gathering, and according to the rabbit, the arrival of the Holy Warrior of Tyr was within two days.

Occasionally, when Penny meditates in this small town called Paloca, he also tries to activate his perception ability to predict the future bad luck, but the result is at a loss, and the good luck is completely unknown, this result makes him frown secretly.

Ever since he had seen the mysterious drinker in Dehumi City, he had noticed that there seemed to be a problem with his senses, and although the perception effect was still accurate, the omens were not working at first, and every morning when he woke up, his brain would have a strange pain that lasted for about ten minutes before it subsided, and it had even affected the progress of arcane research.

This discovery bothered him greatly, but he had no clue about it, so he could only put it aside for the time being, and this failure made him decide not to use this ability easily in the future if it was not necessary.

He had a vague feeling that there seemed to be no benefit to overusing this innate ability, as if any additional benefit had a price, and it was probably time for him to start paying the price.

"Tsk, your face is so bad. The bard had come out of nowhere, and it was evident that neither of them had made a good impression on the other when they met for the first time, and Arnell had always had the idea of striking hard at the slightest chance of finding an opportunity, and sarcastically said: "If I were the head of that order, I would never have asked you for this oil bottle." ”

"They all dare to find a completely unreliable Mr. Rabbit as a middleman, so there is no reason to look down on me. Penny shot back calmly.

"How can you be an artist?"

"Charm is manifested by pretending to be B, may I ask Mr. Rabbit, do you know what it means to pretend B?" Penny glanced at Arnell.

"Pretending to be b, which plane is this language?" the rabbit was dumbfounded.

In other words, it is to always use unfathomable language and exaggerated and gorgeous behavior to package oneself to achieve the effect of standing out from the crowd, which is the rough definition of pretending to B. Penny stared at Arnell with a 'child, you are incorrigible' gaze, and shook his head pityingly: "Look, you don't even know how to embody charm, and using your terrible art will only scare people away." ”

"Who...... Says who. Arnell was furious: "You kid deserve to talk to me about charm, don't you know that the bards are the most charismatic group in Ferron? ”

"Okay, well, I wish you to become the first b-guilty of Faerun as soon as possible. Penny nodded casually, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the town, and opened the window, and saw a brilliant reflection, which was silver armor and knight's sword.

"It's coming. Penny exhaled, but saw that Mr. Rabbit had already run out, and hurriedly followed out of the hut, and saw that there were only four riders entering the entrance of the town, and felt a little strange, what role could such a person play in this civil strife?

"Hello, warriors of Tyre. Arnell laughed and ran over, and the knight at the head took off his overturned helmet, shook the long hair behind his head, spit out a mouthful of white mist, looked at the half-elf indifferently, and said:

"It's not good at all, Arnell, seeing you reminds me of that unpleasant experience in Dragon Bay, and you have to be glad that I serve His Highness Tyr, otherwise I would have cut your head off with a sword right now. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness Tyr, I don't know who these are?" Arnell's gaze moved behind the blonde knight, and the three knights also untied their giant helmets, one of them was relatively small, and the giant helmet was untied to reveal a young but beautiful face, the sunlight shining on the snow sprinkled on her blonde hair, reflecting the sun's light, and the two turquoise eyes shone brightly, like shining gems against a pure white background.

As if stunned by the sight, Penny narrowed his eyes slightly, and Arnell had already leaned over and started chattering:

"Oh! This lady, my name is Arnell Stefani, the most famous artist in the Northland, it is a pleasure to be able to serve you, I wonder if I have a chance to get to know you further......"

"Cadet Knight Sera Grofia, thank you for your enthusiasm. Although the female knight seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, her voice was very cold, and her face was polite to refuse to be thousands of miles away: "But the captain told me that Zunjia is the most famous rogue intelligence dealer in the Northland, and it is a pity that I want to keep my distance from you." ”

"Cavalier Camacho! you slander me like this!" Arnell looked hurt and pointed at the knight in charge.

"The precepts of the Paladins bind us to never speak, I just tell the truth. Camacho snorted, his gaze crossed over to the half-elf, and landed on Penny, who was dressed in a thick cotton robe: "Tell me about your friend." ”

"This is Penny Thean, a mage from the Dragon's Shores, my friend, whom I trust to work with me. Arnell said.

Penny nodded at Caman, and Arnell said to Camacho apologetically, "I'm sorry, he's a little withdrawn and reluctant to speak." ”

"So, this gentleman would like to work with us?" said Camacho.

"Yes, he's going to take risks. Arnell was full of nonsense, but also pulled out an inconsequential truth: "It's related to the task of his promotion." ”

"Alright, bard, though your character is terrible, I still have some hope in your work ethic, and therefore trust your friend, but as the Hand of Tyr, we would like to be able to give your friend a few quizzes. Camacho groaned and turned to Penny, "Mind accepting an evil detection spell?"

"No problem. Penny nodded, and was broken by Arnell, and he no longer dared to speak in a half-baked Cormier accent, but deliberately lowered his voice to make it look like he didn't talk often.

As for this spell, he was not too worried, according to his self-examination, he felt that what he did and thought was still some distance from evil.

Camacho waved his hand, the female knight behind him didn't know what to say, a spiritual light bloomed in the center of his palm, enveloping several people around, after a while, the light dissipated, the female knight nodded to the knight captain, Camacho looked at Penny's expression became kinder: "I'm glad you have the qualifications to travel with us, but we still want to know what the purpose of the gentleman is." ”

It seems that his camp is still far from being good, otherwise these knights would not have this problem, Penny thought about it secretly, and felt that there seemed to be nothing that could not be said: "Investigate the heartless." ”

"Your Excellency is also here to investigate the Heartless? Camacho looked a little surprised, and Penny's heart moved, these knights are also here for those things?

"Yes, we're here for the unintentional, and we're glad we're like-minded. Camacho noticed Penny's puzzled gaze and nodded.

"I'm happy too. Penny nodded, but saw Camacho touching his chin, as if thinking for a while, and then said: "And one last question, sir, if you join our ranks, you will be our comrades in the future, if in the battle, you are not able to help, or you are in an unnecessary predicament, which will cause trouble to our actions, we must ......"

"You have a ring in your left breast pocket that stores three rounds of Divine Ability. Before Camacho could finish speaking, Penny closed his eyes and said.

Camacho was surprised for a moment and touched his breast pocket, surprised and suspicious for a moment.

"And your necklace is specially enchanted, it has a spell slot to heal serious injuries, the two scrolls in your package I can't recognize, probably high-grade goods above level five, and the remaining two knights, their rings are stored separately: brute force, divine grace, disarming magic, spell casting, oh, and a toxin removal scepter......"

The expressions of several knights all changed, but I didn't expect this young man to close his eyes casually, and actually identify all the magic items in their pockets, the female knight was still surprised, but saw Penny's face turn to herself, and opened her eyes:

"Your sword is very good, I don't know which master enchanted it?It seems that there is still a soul living in it......"

"Adamel Dawn, that's one of the few holy swords in the Sect. Camacho sighed, patted Penny on the shoulder, and smiled, "You're qualified, companion." ”

"I'm honored. Penny smiled, and several knights passed by Penny with surprise on their faces, including the female knight with the sword.

After a while, the stunned Anel came over: "You know, with this kind of ability, if you change careers to become thieves, all mages should cry." ”

"Perhaps. Penny nodded noncommittally.

Arnell thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "According to you, you were pretending to be B just now?"

Penny almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and nodded weakly for a long time: "Sort of." ”

"Then why are you able to pretend to be so good, why was I rejected before I could open my mouth, oh, my Lord of the Life Cycle, is art not as glamorous as cold magic?"

"If you want to pretend to be effective, bullshit is a necessary condition, otherwise you will be regarded as **, of course you don't need to understand the language of these heteroplanes. Penny glanced at Arnell leisurely: "You just need to know that the reason why she is not interested in you is only because you can't." ”

"I can't...... I can't...... I can't ......"

A large string of words slammed into the body artist's head, and the half-elf suddenly felt that the world in front of him was getting darker and darker.
