Lord of Hyranza

The constructed knight didn't even look at the assassin, pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and rushed towards another responder. The responder was obviously not as good as the assassin. He was surrounded by Karl and other knights Surrounded in the middle, there were still two feathered arrows stuck in his body, and the rest of the horses were also bleeding. Karl took advantage of his companion's long sword to hold the respondent's neck, and hit the respondent's head hard with the hilt up, and knock him off his horse.

Immediately, someone got off the horse and tied the responder firmly with an oil-soaked rope. Karl was hit a bit hard this time, and the responder fell hard, and he is still unconscious.

"Take it back to the guard camp, pull the torture team out of the bed, and let them examine it overnight!" The knight in costume rode on horseback, took out a rag to wipe off the blood stains on the long sword in his hand, Then put the sword back into the scabbard, and ordered to the surrounding subordinates.

The guard battalion knight holding the magic scroll chased up from behind, and said to the constructed knight, "Boss, I'm afraid Coslin and Guy won't be able to save them."

The constructed knight's face was gloomy, and then he said: "Take them back to the guard camp first, and notify their families tomorrow morning, now we have to quickly find these rats hiding in the sewer, Carl, you go to the Magic Union to enforce the law Let me know from the regiment that we killed a killer from the Black Magic Priory at the garden square, and the killer will be 'bound by darkness'..."

"Oh." The guard battalion knight hurriedly led people to dispose of the dead companion's body.

"Okay, Boss!" Carl agreed, without stopping for a moment after speaking, he left with a small team of knights.

Before leaving, he winked at Suldak who was standing on the outermost edge watching the excitement, but unfortunately Suldak didn't understand what his eyes were trying to express.

Afterwards, Suldak accepted the routine interrogation of the guard battalion, and took out his reserve knight medal to reveal his identity. Hearing that Suldak had just retired from the plane battlefield not long ago, the constructed knight's expression changed. His mood eased a lot, and then he heard that Suldak had registered as an identity in the Knights Order, and he was still studying at Hailansa Junior Knight Academy, and the last bit of doubt on his face disappeared.

Suldak brought several knights from the guard battalion for on-site inspection to the assassination room of the hotel. The hotel owner and his wife were woken up by the sound of fighting in the room, and they were standing in their pajamas in the messy room, wanting to cry without tears. In this room, a big hole was dug out in one wall, more than half of the wooden bed collapsed, and all the windows in the room were rotten. The cold wind and residual snow blew in from the outside, making the proprietress in a red silk nightgown shivering from the cold. .

The knight of the guard camp knights said to the hotel owner: "Go to the guard camp tomorrow morning to register the loss in the hotel. Don't clean up this room for now. Maybe the magic union will go to the scene here tomorrow to take a look. Be sure." Protect the scene."

The hotel owner repeatedly nodded in agreement. After the guard battalion knight checked the situation at the scene, he ordered Suldak not to publicize the incident of the attack tonight, and then left the hotel.

The hotel owner, the proprietress, and Suldak were sitting on the sofa in the lounge area of ​​the lobby. At this time, the proprietress found a blanket to wrap around her body, and poked the hotel owner beside her with her hand.

The hotel owner squeezed out a smile and greeted Suldak, "Knight Suldak, are you not injured? I saw a lot of blood in the room."

Suldak touched his nose and said something against his will: "No, luckily that assassin doesn't seem to be interested in me, maybe he thinks I'm not the one he's looking for."

He didn't want everyone in the hotel to know that there was an assassin who wanted to assassinate him tomorrow morning, and the hotel owner's big mouth would definitely talk about it everywhere.

"The room you live in has been smashed..." the proprietress of the hotel complained in a low voice.

Suldak took out a black dagger from his arms and pushed it in front of the hotel owner. Suldak said to the couple: "Don't worry about your losses. I think this dagger fell in the room." The dagger in the room should be enough to cover the repair cost of your room, even if you replace the wooden bed, floor, doors and windows with new ones, there may still be a surplus, which is considered as the assassin's compensation to you."

After speaking, he took out a gold coin from the purse, put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and said to the hotel owner: "I compensate you for this gold coin, and you can also hire a bricklayer to repair the walls and replace the whole set of gold coins." Bedding and curtains."

The hotel owner blushed immediately. He picked up the jet-black dagger that looked more expensive, pushed the gold coin to Suldak, and said repeatedly: "This dagger left by the assassin is enough, why not?" It’s a shame to take your money.”

The lady proprietress saw that not only would there be no loss, but also a small profit, she stopped crying and said eagerly to Suldak, "Knight Suldak, I'll change it for you again." One room, and you can sleep a little longer before dawn...if you can still sleep."

Look at her burning eyes, if the hotel owner is not on the side, I am afraid that I will say: "Or go to my room and sleep a little longer, if you can still sleep."

Suldak has to go back to the academy for class tomorrow morning, so he naturally hopes to get another sleep. He said with a smile: "On the plane battlefield, things more dangerous than this happen almost every day. bones, I can sleep as well!"

"..."

Chapter 331 The New Neighbor's Problem

When Suldak returned to the dormitory of the Knight Academy, he saw a group of trainee knights laughing and playing in the snow in the garden downstairs of the dormitory. A group of students were also fighting on the balcony. They seemed to want to join them. After all, it was winter. The first snow made this group of young people look a little excited.

Turning his head to avoid a snowball flying from nowhere, he looked up and happened to see his new neighbors, Linna and Nedra, standing on the balcony of the dormitory. The morning sun shone on the fair faces of the two young girls. With youthful smiles on their faces, they seemed to be watching the fun upstairs.

Linna supported the balcony railing with one hand, leaned most of her body out of the balcony, shook her hand at Suldak and greeted loudly: "Good morning, Knight Suldak."

This made Suldak dazed for a while under the glare of the sun, and felt that he had returned to the time when he was in school.

It's just that friends in that world don't call themselves 'knights'.

Standing in the snow, Suldak looked at the two young girls on the balcony. He raised the paper bag in his hand and said politely to the two new neighbors: "Good morning, Miss Linna and Miss Nedra, Would you like to have breakfast together, I bought some white bread and fried fish."

Suldak originally wanted to be polite. After all, he could count on one hand the number of times he met these two new neighbors in the past month. He thought the two girls from the Knight Academy would be more reserved. I should probably refuse...

"Okay, it just so happens that we have also prepared warm oatmeal with milk, please come up and have a drink." Linna promised with a smile, her smile was very sunny.

The two girls, who were only thirteen or fourteen years old, were obviously used to life in the academy.

Like other young students in the Knight Academy, many young people in Hailansa City and surrounding noble manors and villages will choose to study at the War Academy after they reach the age of 12.

Generally speaking, those who can send their girls to the Knight Academy are mostly aristocratic and wealthy families. They want their daughters to have access to excellent peers. Moreover, the family conditions of these girls are also better than boys. Even more superior, ordinary families would not take an extra tuition fee to send their daughter to the Riding Academy. With this money, it would be better to prepare a dowry!

As for the boys in the knight academy, some came from aristocratic families, and many came from ordinary families.

Since the promulgation of the decree of the Green Empire's national recruitment, His Majesty the Emperor has required all male citizens to go through a four-year military life, and young people who can survive the battlefield will have a bright future.In recent years, plane wars have broken out continuously, and the death rate of soldiers has continued to rise year by year. It is also under such cruel conditions that as long as families that can afford tuition fees, even if they borrow a little, they must try their best to send their boys to the school. Entering the Zhanzheng Academy is just for the means of protecting oneself on the battlefield.

The province of Bena is the hometown of swordsmen. The citizens of Hailansa City are more willing to send their children to the swordsman academy. In addition to the high tuition fees, the knight academy also needs to prepare a horse and expensive saddles. Invisibly setting a threshold for the common people, so young people who can come to the Knight Academy actually have a certain financial foundation at home.

Lina and Nedra's family should be very good to jump into. Breakfast like oatmeal with milk is a bit extravagant, and ordinary families in Hailansa city can't afford it.

And Suldak's breakfast is a bit strange. White bread is very common on the table in the morning, but is it really necessary to eat fried fish early in the morning?Not elves.

After Suldak went upstairs, Linna had already quickly tidied up their room again. Some things that should not be seen were all put into the closet. The knock on the door rang three times regularly, and the person who opened the door It was Nedra with a shy face. She was wearing a white lambskin vest, and she looked a bit cautious. She looked like a little girl. Seeing Suldak standing at the door, she didn't know how to invite her into the room.

Suldak was holding a paper bag at the door, and stood awkwardly facing Nedra for a while. Only then did Linna realize that Nedra hadn't invited Suldak in yet.

"Knight Suldak, please come in!" Linna pulled away her best friend and invited Suldak into the dormitory room.

The room was filled with the scent of toilet water, and the dormitory looked very tidy. There were two wooden beds on the left and right sides of the wall, and a wooden table by the window between the wooden beds. There were some books and a few dogs on it. glass bottle.

Suldak took out a long loaf of white bread and a bag of fried fish from the paper bag and put them on the table. Lina asked Suldak to sit on the only chair in the dormitory, while she and Nedra squeezed together. One piece, sitting on the opposite side of the wooden bed.

Linna was a bit weird, and said to Suldak with a smile: "Knight Suldak, every time I meet you in the morning, you are in a hurry..."

She put a bowl in front of Suldak, put fried fish and white bread on the dinner plate, and prepared a milk oatmeal for herself and Nedra. The three of them gathered around the table and started Eat breakfast.

Suldak took a piece of fried fish and handed it to Linna, and another piece to Nedra, and said: "These fried fish were given to me by the tavern owner in the garden square. Try it, it's a very unique elf Taste. I usually go for a walk in the morning every day, and I have a Goubolai in the college stables."

Both Linna and Nedra tasted a little, but obviously the two girls didn't like to eat something too greasy in the morning.

"I heard that you are a knight returning from the plane battlefield?" Linna asked again proactively.

Suldak nodded, and said simply: "Just when I had completed my four-year military service, the infantry regiment I belonged to was completely dispersed by the demon army on the battlefield, so I took the opportunity to retire and return to my hometown."

Linna continued to ask: "Then what are you usually responsible for in the army? You must have made great military achievements in the army, and you are an official of the logistics department, so you will be awarded a reserve knight by a certain earl."

She seemed to be very interested in Suldak's identity, and the little girl's mind was clearly revealed, so she must be looking for something like this kind of hospitality.

Suldak laughed dumbfounded. It seemed that there were already a lot of rumors about him in the academy, so he could only tell himself, "I'm just an ordinary soldier in a combat team, not an official in the logistics department. If I have experienced more battles, I will naturally accumulate some military merits, I am just a little luckier than others, and all the comrades in the same team as me were on that battlefield, but none of them came back alive."

After Linna listened, she couldn't hide her disappointment. She curled her lips and said, "I thought you were an excellent skinning master in the logistics department..."

"Why do you think so?" Surdak asked curiously.

Linna tapped her forehead and said to Suldak: "It's just my guess. Our class organizes an expedition team. Every year, the college has some experience missions. Our team wants to sign up for it, but at present Lack of a member with skinning skills, if there is no skinner, the fur of the prey we hunt will not be able to handle, and these guys in the academy are not willing to learn skinning skills, it is really a headache!"

Suldak drank the oatmeal, and then ate all the crispy fried fish, and said to Linna with a smile: "Actually, there is no shortage of skinners among the members of the combat team. If it is not for high-level monsters, maybe I can barely handle it."

Lina's white face showed a touch of excitement, her lake-blue eyes blinked, and she was about to invite Suldak to join their team, but she heard Suldak say again: "It's just that I'm on the side of the academy for further study. There is only a half-year study period, and the college basically does not arrange physical training classes, let alone going out for training."

Hearing what Suldak said, the little girl hesitated again, and she said honestly: "No wonder you haven't participated in physical training since you came to the academy..."

Nedra, on the other hand, seemed a little reserved, and secretly pushed her best friend, Linna immediately shut up.

Lina was silent for a while, and then said to Nedra: "It seems that we need to find a member in other grades who can perform skinning."

Nedra hesitated for a moment, she glanced at Suldak shyly, and said to her friend: "Maybe I can also..."

"You know skinning?" Linna didn't know that her best friend could do it. If Nedra could really do skinning, they wouldn't be so painstakingly looking for outsiders.

Nedra said to Linna: "Although I am not very good at it yet, I would like to ask the Knights of Suldak to teach me. Of course, in return, we can tutor the knights of Suldak in cultural classes below the second grade, etiquette , history, geography are what we do best.”

Linna's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands vigorously, and said excitedly: "Yes, Nedra, why didn't I think of that!"

"...Linna, this matter depends on the thoughts of the Suldak knight." Nedra pushed his best friend and reminded.

Then the two girls looked at Suldak expectantly. Suldak didn't expect that a simple bowl of oatmeal would replace his half-baked skinning technique. Being able to review systematically, it will probably be much easier in class in the future.

So Suldak hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and said to Linna: "If I can learn more of this part of knowledge before going to sleep at night to prepare for the next exam, of course I would like to. "

Linna hurriedly said: "That's great, Knight Suldak, then it's settled, so let's start tonight?"

After the three of them finalized the matter, Suldak would go to his dormitory, take out the textbooks needed today according to the schedule, and rush to the classroom of the teaching building before the bell rang. There were three grades on his desk. It seems that there are more textbooks than Linna and Nedra combined.

In the evening, according to the agreement, after dinner, we will go back to the dormitory to learn from each other, but the practice of skinning must be practiced. First, we need a sharp thin-skinned knife and the best scabbard is inlaid with oilstone. The thin-skinned knife needs to be kept sharp. , and for this reason, every skinner is a very good knife sharpener.

Originally, Suldak wanted to explain some common sense to the two girls when skinning at night, and then asked Nedra to prepare a skinning knife tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Nedra and Linna took out a delicate silver-handled skinning knife from their waists respectively. Suldak glanced at the exquisite gemstones on the fish-skin scabbard of Linna's dagger, and said: " If there are no gems inlaid here, you can paste a better whetstone here, the first lesson of skinning is to teach you how to sharpen your knife correctly..."

As he spoke, he pulled out his skinning knife with a wooden handle. There was only a short edge of the skinning knife, but the edge was polished very smooth. He skillfully took out the oilstone and rubbed it After preparing the blade twice, he said to Linna and Nedra, who were serious about studying with wide eyes: "Many people like to use the skinning knife as a portable table knife. What I want to say is, if conditions permit, please use the two as much as possible. Separate the knives, because the skinning knife needs a very high sharpness, and when the table knife is in the wild, it is often inserted into the campfire to heat up. The calcination of the flame will cause the skinning knife to lose its sharpness, so this method is also the best Not advisable……"

Suldak basically said whatever came to his mind. He remembered that when he was learning the skinning technique in the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment, everyone was surrounded by a huge corpse of a ghost. No, the skin of the evil spirit is far tougher than the leather armor of a monster. An ordinary skinning knife can't cut through the black skin on the evil spirit's body. Only then will I have a deep understanding of the quality of the steel edge of the skinning knife itself.Of course, if it is just for cutting potatoes, whether it is sharp enough is completely unnecessary.

In order to let the two girls feel the importance of the sharpness of the skinning knife itself, Suldak took out a salamander claw from his magic pocket, and used the skinning knife to cut off a small circle of tough leather from the lizard claw...

Linna has a cheerful and outgoing personality, but she has no interest in skinning. After listening to it for a while, she seems drowsy. On the contrary, Nedra is very patient and has been listening to Suldak's narration attentively. Although Suldak was not an excellent skinner, and the skinning skills he described were not in any order, but his experience in wild survival was indeed rich enough, and he spoke vividly.

On the second night, it was the two young girls who gave Suldak a class on aristocratic etiquette. Linna, who was born in an aristocratic family, was far more proficient in the etiquette of the aristocrats than Nedra. I did it, and when Lina talked about it, it was Suldak's turn to have some headaches, but Linna and Nedra cooperated with each other, and Nedra needed to simulate nobles with different identities, and then encounter, visit, and even Turning his face on the spot and throwing down his white gloves for a duel, he gave a detailed explanation.

The campus life in Suldak, because of these two young neighbors, suddenly felt less difficult.

Chapter 332 Quarrel

Opposite the Knight Academy, near the Magic Tower, there are many shops. Many shops here are dedicated to providing services for those magicians, including some magic materials, magic scrolls, books, magic robes, staffs, etc. A wide variety of shops, There are also hotels and restaurants, and it is close to the wealthy area, so the consumption level belongs to one of the highest areas in Hailansa City.

A magic caravan was parked beside the sycamore trees that had lost all their leaves, and there was still some snow on the grass beside the road. Karl was sitting on a bench in a thick overcoat. He raised his eyes and looked at the fast-walking Suldak smiled helplessly at Suldak: "I really want to know, if I don't come to see you, can you really hold your breath and not ask the result of this matter?"

Suldak was wearing some old Warcraft leather armor, and sat casually beside Karl, sitting on a bench, and he could see a magic shop named Orianna across the street. He asked Karl: "You can't wait for the weekend to come and tell me what happened in the past two days?"

"Don't you know how serious this assassination is?" Karl asked Suldak.

He stood up, stared at Suldak seriously and said, "That's not an ordinary assassin, he is an assassin who specializes in special missions in the Black Magic Priory, and he killed two swordsmen in the guard battalion in one face-to-face. Those two are the most outstanding swordsmen in the guard battalion."

"So..." Suldak asked with a smile.

Seeing that Suldak's reaction was flat, Karl leaned closer and asked, "I want to know...how did you escape the assassination by that assassin."

Suldak sat up straight, and said to Karl: "I have made full preparations in advance, and of course there is a little bit of luck in it, you may not know... I used to be a shield soldier in the infantry regiment, in order to deal with the day For the possible assassination at night, I even bought a shield..."

As he said that, he pulled out a tower shield that looked like a door panel from his magic pocket, and stood on the ground with a bang.

Karl widened his eyes, stared at Suldak dumbfounded, and said, "You are too exaggerated, you can actually lift such a heavy tower shield!"

Suldak put his arm into the sheath on the north side of the shield, picked up the tower shield effortlessly, and then demonstrated to Karl: "This shield is tied to the forearm, although it is big and heavy, But you don’t need to move frequently during the battle, as long as you stand in front of you.”

Karl touched the surface of the shield, and the neatly arranged four-edged spines felt cold to the touch, and there were still some dried blood stains on the surface.

Seeing that Karl was looking at the tower shield in a daze, Suldak put away the tower shield in no hurry, put one hand on Karl's shoulder, and asked him: "What's so good about this ordinary heavy shield? You can buy it at a blacksmith shop in Hailansa City, by the way... have you caught Ms. Summerya?"

"She slipped away..." Carl said with a look of embarrassment.

Suldak felt that he might have misheard, but seeing Karl's constipated expression, he asked Karl with some headaches: "This...can make her run away?"

Karl explained to Suldak with a full face of apology: "At the beginning, the high-level people in the battalion were negative about the capture of Samya. She is a well-known performer in the opera. They thought my speculation was wrong. On any basis, they wouldn't even want to spy on Summera if I hadn't brought it up at the meeting."

"But at the back, no one thought that she was actually a puppet warlock! Although we sent a watcher, she actually used puppetry to lure the watcher away, and then killed five guards who were chasing her along the way The knight escaped under the siege and interception of the guard battalion!"

"But our people didn't see her go out of the city, she should still stay in Hailansa city..."

Suldak's face was a little dark. There are only two possibilities for Samya not leaving the city of Hailansa. The first one is that she has a very safe hiding place in the city and can escape the search of the black dogs in the guard camp. The second is that she was hiding in a certain residential house in Hailansa City, only waiting for the assassination to succeed before leaving quietly.

Suldak only hoped that it wasn't the second type, because...he was probably one of Samya's targets.

He asked Carl, "So what are you going to do?"

Karl rubbed his hands and said to Suldak: "We analyzed that the target of Samya is probably you, and the above means that they want to use you to lure them out."

"You mean that members of the Black Magic Priory will take the initiative to find me?" Suldak frowned. This was the last scene he wanted to see, but the matter had reached this point, and it was useless to blame anyone. We could only work together to make up for it, and Suldak asked Karl again: "Then what do I need to do?"

Karl saw that Suldak didn't lose his temper and didn't say any harsh words, so he quickly said: "We will arrange for you to go out of the city, they may plan an interception on your way home, and this time they will send Construct Knights to protect you." For your safety, the battalion will mobilize a large number of manpower this time, and will notify the magicians in the Magic Union law enforcement team. This time, it will be safe. If you don’t deal with this trouble, everyone will not be able to sleep every night in the future. A good night's sleep."

Suldak was a little hesitant. Of course he also knew that Karl was telling the truth. If the Black Magic Priory didn't solve the problem here, the trouble would come to him sooner or later.

"But here at the Knight Academy..." Suldak thought about the heavy cultural lessons every day. No matter what, he had to get the graduation certificate from the Knight Academy.

Carl waved his hand casually, and said, "I'll help you with this. Coming here for further study is actually just a formality for us, and there's no need to be so serious."

"You have to give me some time to think about it..." Suldak said.

Afterwards, seeing Karl staring at him intently, Suldak sighed softly, could only bite the bullet and agree and asked, "Well, what good do I have?"

After getting the desired result, Karl smiled, as if he was ready to say directly: "We will invite you to join the Knights of the Guard Battalion."

Suldak sat back on the bench weakly, and asked Karl: "Can this be considered a reward?"

In fact, the Knights of the Guard Battalion are just like the night watchmen in the city. In the eyes of the people of the Grimm Empire, they are just a group of stinky dung who have low ability to handle affairs and can only squeeze ordinary citizens. They are a group of hooligans with government subsidies. Lord Cavalier, who usually roams the streets on a majestic horse, is always the last one to arrive in the event of an emergency.

If it is not necessary, Suldak really does not want to wear this layer of black skin.

Karl smiled triumphantly, and said to Suldak: "After you enter the guard camp, you will find that there are still many advantages to becoming an official knight. Believe me, this decision will definitely not be wrong."

Although the guard battalion in Hailansa city is unpopular, it is an official department of the Green Empire after all.

Suldak asked again: "By the way, how is the situation at Baron Grenfell's estate?"
