Now that the wandering knights are all in a difficult state of riding a tiger, they want to withdraw and cannot withdraw, and they won’t win at all. At present, when an old knight raises the ladder, they will naturally not know what to do, one by one, deliberately pretending to obey the orders Put the long sword in his hand into the scabbard, and without saying anything, turned around and walked back to do his own thing, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Sword of Your Excellency Capello, your sword!" Leo did not lose his power, and returned two long swords with scabbards to the old knight.
When the old knight Capello took the sword, he couldn't help being relieved, because if Leo was really incapable, he couldn't stop it, because Leo showed superb swordsmanship far beyond his knowledge Anyone. As for Leo’s knighthood, he no longer doubts, because such an excellent swordsmanship is placed in any court, as long as the authorities are not blind, they will be sealed as knights.
After returning the sword to the old knight, Leo picked up a container full of water and returned to the ruins of the elven kingdom. At this time, everyone's eyes became different and full of awe. After all, as long as Anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened to him and the wandering knights just now, and no one would think it was a lie when Leo said they were knights.
"Here, you can freshen up!" Leo came to his rest, handed the container to Sylvia, and said.
Sylvia naturally took the container and placed it on the stone bench next to it. While simply grooming and organizing the clothes, he asked Leo: "How did you just look so high-key, it seems to be a little different from the way you do things." "
"Sometimes it's better to keep a high profile, you can avoid a lot of trouble." Leo replied as he packed his clothes.
Sylvia wiped the water stains on her face with a towel and walked in front of Leo and asked, "Should I also be high profile?"
Leo looked at Sylvia, lifted a strand of hair hanging in front of his eyes, hung it behind his ear, and said: "When you put on the knight armor and defeat each opponent, it may be difficult to keep a low profile. "
"Well, that's right." Sylvia smiled, kissed Leo, and turned to the caravan to order hot water and a drink.
After the little episode of the creek competition, nothing else happened in the camp. Everyone cleaned up their belongings quickly after grooming, and the wandering knights put on their armor again and started to go on the road.
The only difference from yesterday is that everyone’s attitude towards Leo and Sylvia has also become respectful and close, and the caravan leader ran over from time to time to ask what they needed. After all, there can be two knights with strong swordsmanship in the business. The team is also a good thing for the caravan.
Although only Leo showed amazing swordsmanship, everyone still counted Leo and Sylvia together, thinking that Sylvia should also be a very powerful knight.
Especially after the attendants who saw Sylvia catch his prey with his crossbow last night and told the story to everyone, it became more and more likely that Sylvia was more difficult to deal with than Leo, because the long sword also needed You can kill people when you get close, but the crossbow can solve the enemy at a long distance. The enemy does not know how to die.
On the road, the old knight Capello came to the carriage where Leo and the two were, and then he jumped off the horse and tied the horse to the railing of the carriage, signaling the driver to leave for a while, then he sat in the position of the driver. He drove the carriage skillfully and at the same time asked Leo: "Your Excellency Leo said that the two went to Buckland to attend the Cavaliers Conference, but in my opinion, it may be difficult for the two to attend the conference."
"Why?" Leo knew the old knight's thoughts well and didn't take them out, so he asked in coordination.
"Because the identity of the two knights cannot be determined." The old knight Capello said a key problem, and then worried about annoying Leo and Sylvia, added: "It is not that I denied the two knighthoods. It's because the two national flanges are too far away from here. We haven't heard of them at all, and naturally we cannot investigate the status of the two knights.
Leo heard this and deliberately made a embarrassed look and said, "Are we going to be white this time?"
"Of course not." The old knight Capello quickly shook his head and said: "In fact, you have two ways to obtain the knight's certificate. The first is to find a way to join a knight group, obtain the status of servant, and then build enough merits to become a knight. But this method is not very suitable for your lord. I wouldn’t want to be a servant.
Then, he paused and said,
The other way is to get a prestige from Tausent. Noble guarantee, let this noble guarantee that the two knighthoods are true."
Leo frowned and asked, "Shouldn't this nobleman guarantee a stranger for no reason?"
"Of course," the old knight continued: "Your lord must first get enough reputation, such as taking some tasks on the bulletin board in various big towns, gaining folk reputation, and letting the nobles know that there is someone like you before you can See the noble himself, do something for him, so that he can exchange for the noble's guarantee of knighthood."
Leo questioned: "But it's too time-consuming, right? Following this set of procedures, I'm afraid the contest will be over long ago."
The old knight said in a deep voice: "It is true that it takes a long time, but sometimes it is possible to take shortcuts and do two things together."
Leo asked sincerely, "Master Capello, please let me know."
The old knight saw that Leo had cooperated so well, and he did not sell any more, and he gave out the rhetoric prepared earlier.
It turned out that the old knight Capello had been recognized by the Earl of the Duchy of Tausent named Cromie Britta. After completing this patrol mission, he would leave the Wandering Knights and become the captain of the count. .
However, recently the Earl Britta has encountered some troubles, and the old knight Capello can not solve this trouble, which also affects his position in Earl Britta’s mind.
The trouble is that a vineyard in Earl Britta has been missing workers and farmers recently. Seven people have disappeared. The Buckland side sent someone to investigate in the past, but no results were found at all. On the night of the park, someone disappeared again.
So all kinds of rumors spread out at a time, and the most widespread rumor is that the ghost of the elven kingdom is avenging Count Britta.
It turned out that the ancestor of the Earl of Britta had killed many elves in the war against elves, and even showed no mercy even to the elf children, and even some humans were blind to them, calling them elf butchers.
Later, the elf butcher gained the status of Earl for his merits, and also obtained a large area of land, and the location of the land was on the ruins of the former Elf Kingdom. However, the Earl had his own apartment in Buckland, so there was no Have lived in the fief.
Later, the count of Britta found that the geographical environment of the enclosed land was very suitable for growing grapes, so he cleaned up the ruins of the elves there, leaving only a few pieces of foundation to build a winery estate, and all the rest were planted with grapes.
After several generations of cultivation, the vineyard has become one of the best vineyards in the Principality of Towsent, and the wines produced by the Earl of Britta have been frequent visitors at all wine conferences and won several wine conferences. winning.
The disappearance in the vineyard this time has a great impact on winemaking. Those workers and farmers are unwilling to work in such a dangerous environment. A large number of ripe grapes cannot be collected, but can only rot. The wine that is brewed may fail because no one takes care of it.
After the Cavaliers Conference, it is an annual wine conference. If Earl Britta can’t solve the trouble of his wine estate and brew the wine in time, then he will be absent from this wine conference, which will definitely be his prestige. An extremely serious blow.
In Taocente, the winner of the Wine Conference is as important as the winner of the Cavaliers Conference, and even more important than the winner of the Cavaliers Conference. After all, it is not rich and wealthy businessmen who participate in the Wine Conference, or a big nobility with unusual status. Whether it is to win the championship of the wine conference or just to participate in the wine conference, it is very important for any wine producer. One absence, the loss of reputation caused by the participation of ten times can not be compensated.
After the disappearance of the vineyard, some of the Count Britta’s competitors secretly made various rumors, even saying that the wine brewed from the vineyard of Britta contains the curse of the ghost of the elven kingdom. Anyone who drinks it will be punished. Words like curses.
Although this kind of rumor is a bit wise, people will feel too fake after listening. But not everyone can treat these rumors rationally and wisely, and most people are blindly obeying, so there have been some rumors in the Buckland that are unfavorable to Earl Britta.
Count Britta’s top priority now is to resolve the disappearance of the manor and break the rumors of ghost curses outside.
So Count Britta has recently found a lot of people to investigate, but there is still no result, there are still people missing, and the number of missing people has reached as many as ten people, the manor workers and farmers leave Count Britta to leave Remuneration is too much, not willing to step closer to the manor.
Now Earl Britta is completely helpless about the wine estate, so according to the old knight Capello, if Leo can help the earl solve this problem at this time, let alone guarantee their knighthood, even if it is direct It's not a problem for Earl to enlist them as Cavaliers.
"How do I take on this task?" Leo asked for a moment.
The old knight explained immediately:
It’s very simple. The town of Tiran that we arrived at noon is a town with a bulletin board. Earl Britta has left mission announcements on almost all town centres in Taocente. You need to take over this mission announcement, just register it in the tavern responsible for the bulletin board."
Leo Wenwen frowned, saying, "Is this the task? But our remuneration is not for money, but for knight guarantee. Doesn't this remuneration need to be discussed in advance?"
"Not at all," the old knight shook his head and said, "When Lord Leo sees the task announcement on the bulletin board, he will know that Lord Earl is willing to pay a very generous reward in order to solve this trouble. The reward you want It's just a trivial matter."
After speaking, the old knight felt that he had successfully completed his goal as a lobbyist, and he was not interested in staying here again. After a few words with Leo, he jumped out of the carriage and exchanged the driving rights to never The driver, who followed the carriage in the distance, loosened the reins of his mount, straddled the horse, and soon left.
After the old knight left, Leo asked Silvia in French, who had always been silent, "What do you think of this?"
"A very good springboard!" Sylvia nodded and said, "We don't actually need the count to guarantee the status of knight. We can actually use his count as a springboard to contact other senior officials of Tausent and go further. The court warlock Flynn Gila Vigo contacts."
"Huh!" Leo nodded in agreement.
The team was still moving slowly at the same speed as yesterday. After passing the two forks, the road was more spacious, and there were more pedestrians and carriages on the road. It seems that it should be close to the town.
At noon, the team had already seen the house in the town ahead, so under the order of the old knights, they traveled a lot faster, and when they reached the entrance of the town, everyone was relieved.
With the emergence of this big town~EbookFREE.me~ means that they have left the border of Tausent at the moment and have entered the core town area, which also represents the chance of encountering robbers on the road. Very little.
Capello, the old knight, signaled the team to take a break outside the town. The people in the convoy could go to the town to buy something and wait until noon to continue on the road.
Now that this town has been able to meet Leo and Sylvia’s needs to buy horses and weapons, plus the task of which count can be received here, they all feel that there is no need to continue to follow the convoy, so they and other Some ordinary travelers who arrived at the destination left the caravan together.
Not long after Leo left, several people left the caravan, each riding a fast horse, sending information about Leo and Sylvia to their respective forces.
This does not mean that Leo and Sylvia will be paid special attention. For the secret agents who are lurking, collecting intelligence from strangers is only routine, especially when the annual Cavaliers Conference and Wine Conference are about to be held. The number of people from various countries in the North and the South has been counted. Collecting this information has become a daily task, and this information will eventually be piled up with other information. It will not be found again until one day when it is available. ,/7_7913/
