Destiny Thief

Chapter 74 The Wind Rises VI

Markuro smiled, of course he knew what the three young noble knights were paying attention to across the reception table.

But he didn't care - his natural good looks had bothered him a lot.But after reaching a certain age, he is already bearish: just laugh it off, or, once a certain limit is exceeded, he draws his sword and ends it.

The latter doesn't happen much.

Alyssa glanced at Cody beside her. The latter quickly understood, and took out a roll of documents from her backpack—the three of them went on a long-distance training trip under the banner of the Iris Knights Reserve. Naturally, it has also gone through some relevant legal procedures.

Every time you go to a place, to be precise, it is a place where nobles with baron status and above are stationed, and the experience documents must be signed and confirmed by the local nobles.After they go back, this document will be kept as evidence for the inquest-the necessity of this procedure is to prevent some speculators from taking tiger skins as a cover-up and doing some dirty or rebellious things. Acts that damage the reputation of the whole.

Macro took the parchment scroll with gilt lace. He straightened up, placed it on the long table and unfolded it. In addition to the badge of the Knights of Iris, there was a large list of people from The curlicue signatures of the various nobles.Macuro took a brief look and realized that the journey of the three knights in front of him started from the royal capital of Elva, and passed through Sardo, Danzig, Laches and Nogo, until now, they arrived at Afor Long. (Note: Afron is the only ice-free port in the northern part of the kingdom. In terms of administrative division, it is an independent city and is not subordinate to Nogo.)
"Everyone has worked so hard."

Looking up, Makuro picked up a quill and wrote his name at the bottom of the signature.His fingers were slender and white, like a woman's, and he didn't look like a knight who had practiced martial arts for a long time.

"Monsieur Baron..."

Alyssa saw the newly ink-laden handwriting on the scroll and hesitated to speak.She had heard that Baron Escud of Afron was a rare master of swordsmanship, but she looked at the age of the man in front of her and his hands, and she couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Originally, she planned to ask the other party for some guidance on swordsmanship - after fighting an undead "resurrection" with excellent sword skills in the abandoned village of Nuoge Mountain, she felt painfully about the roughness of her sword skills and the lack of strength. Insufficient, she has always had this desire, but when she looked at the knight opposite again and again, her heart suddenly became hesitant.

"Is there a problem?"

Still maintaining a calm and calm smile, Markuro asked Miss Knight.

"I heard that you are a powerful knight?"

After thinking about it for a while, the upright lady knight decided to ask directly.It's just that after she said these words, a little regret suddenly appeared in her heart. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find anything wrong for a while.Alyssa stared at the oval copper vase on the table, which contained several fresh wild roses. The bright red color was like a blazing fire, which made her feel nervous. Staggered and placed on the table in a tangled manner, concealing the inner emotions——

Soon, Alyssa figured out the reason—in the etiquette of dealing with nobles in the kingdom, when nobles of the same level or with similar status ask such questions when they meet for the first time, it is generally equivalent to provocation, or in other words, a challenge invitation.

What am I doing?
Alisa wanted to slap herself on the head hard, and she glanced around her nervously - Cody and Lars were looking at her in surprise, while the Baron Escud put the quill back on the table After getting up, he was still sitting on the chair, even that gentle smile didn't change much.

"My lord the baron?"

Miss Knight's companions, two young men who were also from noble families and belonged to the reserve of the Iris Cavalry Troupe couldn't help shouting softly.They know that knights who exercise regularly usually have some obvious physical characteristics.But this law hardly applies to people who are above a certain level of strength—theoretically speaking, Miss Alyssa should know this kind of thing from the teachings of the family and the elders of the family——

can she?

Does she want to verify the truth of what Mr. Henry Wolf said?
Cody and Lars speculated on Miss Knight's thoughts, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the baron opposite did not have any overly excited reaction - as a guest, Miss Alyssa's behavior was inevitably a bit rude to some extent. , but the calmness of the other party also made the young knight a little more curious.

After all, judging from the appearance, the age of the other party, reaching that level of strength is too appalling——

Alisa was apprehensive, and looked at Makuro several times. She was about to say something like an apology and justification—Mr. Baron stood up from his chair, and there was a rhythmic knock on the door of the reception room. Voice.

Makuro opened the door, and a middle-aged city official stood outside.He looked at the Afron Consul in front of him, and then at Alisa and the three young people:

"My lord, it's very important."

After saying this with a frown, he refused to say any more.But his expression already conveyed the seriousness and importance of the news.

With an apologetic smile, Makuro immediately walked out of the reception room following the middle-aged official.

The three traveling noble knights began to discuss in low voices.

"Alyssa, do you know what you were doing just now?"

Lars muttered, seeing Miss Knight nodding with certainty, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and continued: "Mr. Baron's strength is likely to exceed your and my imagination."

"You mean, he reached that level?"

Cody questioned, but Lars quickly answered him, "Don't you notice something different now?"

Alisa shook her head, she looked at Lars, then at Cody, expressionless.

"Two ignorant idiots—"

Lars slapped his forehead to express his headache.Immediately afterwards, he said in a reminding tone: "There is no wind in the room now."

"The doors and windows are closed, how can the wind come in?"

Alisa was puzzled by what Lars said, she stretched out her palm and shook it in the air.In fact, as she said, this is one of the large buildings in the City Lord's Mansion. Although the lighting is good, the closed doors and windows make it impossible for the cold air from the outside world to enter.

"Didn't you notice it when Mr. Baron was still there?"

Lars stared at his companion, his voice turning serious for a moment.
