Chapter 1110

"Candidate, Xia Enxue reports."

It was another knight who met at the door.This knight didn't wear any armor, but he had a heavy-looking long sword hanging from his waist. His sword hilt and the decoration on his chest were the same as the other members of the knight order. It was a silver dragon, but his cloak was blue.

"Please come in."

The knight leading the way pushed Xia Enxue towards the door, while Xia Enxue was still wondering whether the two different terms "candidate" and "elected person" had the same meaning——

"Wait, what are you holding in your hand?"

The knight suddenly grabbed her hand so hard that Xia Enxue almost cried out in pain.

"Is it a knife? Let go!"

The knight in the blue cloak quickly pulled Xia Enxue's wrist, and the guardian knife immediately fell from Xia Enxue's stiff right hand.

Xia Enxue herself didn't notice that she kept holding the knife because she was too nervous, so that the crescent-shaped scabbard was exposed from the neckline of her chest.

The blue cloak knight grabbed the leather rope around Xia Enxue's neck, pulled out the blade and untied the necklace.He touched the blade with his fingers to confirm the sharpness, and after looking back and forth between the knife and the scabbard, he looked directly into Xia Enxue's eyes.

"When entering the castle, no weapons are allowed."

Under the gaze of the knight's dark blue eyes, Xia Enxue didn't dare to take a breath.Xia Enxue anxiously felt that she had to say something, but her mouth was so dry that she couldn't make a sound.

Just when she felt that an eternity had passed, the knight's gaze suddenly softened.

"Don't you know this rule?"

With the serious expression removed, the knight looked much younger.He was about the same age as the leading knight, with a straight nose and a gentle mouth.However, this may also be the gentle expression he tried to show when he noticed Xia Enxue's fear.

"That is, my amulet..."

Xia Enxue desperately squeezed out these words.

"Are you from Blacksmith Village?"

Xia Enxue remembered what Uncle Charles said about "representing the village", and hurriedly added: "I made this myself, my parents didn't know..."

The knight's blue eyes widened slightly, and he smiled again when he saw Xia Enxue flinch.

"Well done."

Hearing the knight's coaxing tone made Xia Enxue feel ashamed, knowing that she must have an expression that would cry at any time.She always wants to show that she is a strong girl, so she often pretends to be deadpan, not knowing whether she is doing well or not.

The knight let go of Xia Enxue's wrist and carefully put the guard knife into its sheath.Although he is tall, he is not rough, and his big hands look very slender and dexterous.The knight could see through the small mechanism of Xia Enxue's knife at a glance, and there was obviously unfathomable wisdom hidden under his broad forehead.

"I'll keep it for you until you go home."

"Yes, it is."

Xia Enxue remembered the etiquette her mother taught her, pulled up her skirt stiffly, and bowed her knees to salute.

However, at this moment, the knight's face suddenly darkened, and he looked away.Xia Enxue was startled, thinking that she had done something disrespectful, but saw the knight staring at the children in the room.

The room was filled with other chosen ones.Not because the room was cramped, but because a brass basin took up most of the floor.On the other side of the water tray, there is a thick satin curtain, which makes people feel stuffy.It's not winter now, but in the stove on the left, the red flames are making firewood crackle.

The chosen people, as the messenger said at the time, were all eight years old.Xia Enxue made a rough count and found that there were about twelve or three people. Whether they were young children or children who were already able to stand alone, everyone was surrounding the water dish and kneeling quietly with their knees bent.

"Xia Enxue, come here and line up!"

The fat man standing next to the water tray said so.He wears a long robe and a blouse with wide sleeves.The golden headband on the bald forehead is particularly eye-catching.
