Knight with Wand

At dawn, after washing up in the bedroom, Leon raised the bronze mirror for the first time in a long time and scratched his head with a comb.

The hair of the original owner of this body was not short to begin with. It had not been cut for more than two months, and now it has grown longer.

There was no one in the mansion who could take care of hair, so he planned to take the time to cut it short so that it would be easier to wear a helmet.

Looking at the mirror inadvertently, Leon noticed that the black gradient that was only about two centimeters at the root of his hair seemed to have grown longer?

If this continues, will sooner or later one day my hair will change from the brown hair of the original owner to black hair?

Isn't this really a disease? I'll ask Miss Laura next time.

With this thought in his mind, Leon got up and left the room.

Seeing Corvis who seemed to be waiting quietly outside the door, he took him downstairs to the backyard of the house.

Ask Little Lina, who kept one of the keys, to open the heavy iron lock on the warehouse door.

Pushing the door open, there are tons of military supplies inside, arranged very neatly.

After more than a month of careful care by the family's servants, the warehouse that had been vacated was extremely clean.

Even the original windows have been sealed and thick boards have been nailed up to prevent thieves from stealing.

The warehouse is opposite the door. A dozen pairs of armors have been wiped and maintained until they were shiny, and they are piled on mats. There are also some unmatched armor parts in the corners.

Two knight's kite shields, some round shields, and several Uriah bows were hung on the wall like decorative furnishings.

Beside the wall on the left, a spare long-handled halberd and ax rested at the front, and behind it stood a dozen gleaming cavalry spears.

On the right side of the warehouse, more than twenty sheathed long swords and armed swords were placed on the tool shelf of the original carpenter's house, and ten Uriah swords were placed around the wooden shelf.

Seeing the dazzling array of weapons and equipment made Leon feel excited. This feeling of hoarding really satisfied his hamster addiction.

Leon came to the right side, picked up a sword, and pulled it out of the sheath. You could see traces of a thin oil film on the blade, which had obviously been maintained not long ago.

I checked several swords one after another, and they were all the same.

This is not surprising. Before he set off, he asked Blacksmith Brian and Olivia to teach the servants at home how to maintain armor and swords as soon as possible.

Reality is not like games where you can just leave the equipment alone if it is not needed.

Unpainted armor and the blades of various weapons must be protected against rust regularly.

Olivia's bills were carefully listed, and the oils and ointments purchased from the town cost a lot of money.

Leon rummaged through the swords and picked out the one with the best appearance and weight from the swords of the Kantadar squire cavalry. He turned around and gave it to his first knight squire.

"This one is pretty good. Of course, it's definitely not as good as the rune sword you lost. I hope you don't dislike it." Leon sneered.

"How could it be?" The blond boy took the sword solemnly: "I will regard it as my own life."

"Oh, don't be so serious. When I have money, I will give you a better use."

Leon recalled that the other party had used the hand-controlling magic. It was a pity that Corvis's magic sword was blown somewhere during the battle, but even if it was found, it would probably be too damaged to be used anymore.

According to what the blond boy said, his manipulation magic usually has a limited control distance. Once it exceeds the extension range of several meters of his own magic power, the object will be out of control.

Only magic items with specific magic runes engraved on them and with their own magic power links can increase the distance, weight, and even control accuracy of his manipulation spells.

Leon estimated that it might be similar to the rune crossbow he picked up once.

Although for the powerful mage Artias, such small spells are not very threatening, for ordinary enemies, the magic of manipulation is already like the sword control in Xianxia novels.

Even if it is far from being able to take someone's head from thousands of miles away like the magic of immortality.

But you can control a flying sword within a dozen meters of sight, and its power is scary enough for ordinary people.

Unfortunately, without the rune sword, Corvis now only relies on traditional methods to cast spells, and he will definitely not be able to control the sword.

Without the assistance of specialized magic items or wands, he cannot control objects that are too heavy, and can only control small objects such as daggers, darts, and stones.

But if it is a sneak attack, perhaps for ordinary people, the killing efficiency of a small thing that is difficult to detect and guard against is greater than that of a rune flying sword.

Leon couldn't help but imagine that Jokowis manipulated a thin needle and inserted it into the enemy's eyeball along the gap in the helmet's visor.

It reminds me of the blond boy's invisibility magic that hides his figure.

It's really chilling.

Leon happily patted the shoulder of his little brother in front of him.

Fortunately, the other party is not only a reliable partner, but also a loyal guard.

If Olivia is his own ace in the battle, then the boy in front of him is his ace in the single-target battle.

Although Corvis does not have Olivia's extraordinary martial arts skills that are unparalleled among enemies, at the moment, in terms of hand-to-hand combat, he can't even defeat himself.

But if there is a last resort in the future and an enemy must be dealt with secretly, Corvis's unique skill will be very useful.

After pressing the idea in his head, Leon took Corvis to the pile of armors to find armor that fit him.

The blond boy's figure was much lighter and slender than his own, Azerion's, and Lohark's.

That guy Pirieno never thought of training this boy to be a warrior. As a beautiful plaything all the year round, Corvis was obviously not allowed to eat and drink to develop his figure.

The result was that even though Corvis was fifteen years old and over 1.7 meters tall, so he was not as petite as Olivia, it was still difficult for him to find armor that fit him.

After trying several sets in succession, Leon finally found that, considering Corvis's current body shape, the combination of plate chain composite armor on the upper body and scale armor robe on the lower body like Olivia's yesterday was more suitable.

Regardless of the young man's refusal, Leon went directly to help him put on the mixed cavalry armor together with Lina.

Seeing him with his sword on his shoulder, Leon looked up and down at his handsome young attendant and was very satisfied.

The other person has the same handsome face as Azarian. No matter whether he is wearing men's or women's clothing or armor and a battle robe, he looks so pleasing to the eye whenever he puts it on.

With the help of little Lina and Corvis, Leon also put on his knight's plate armor.

Just in case, he took off the kite shield on the wall and picked up a cavalry spear from the long weapons.

It's a pity that there is no real lance. Among the defeated troops, only the captured Cantadar knight had a lance left in his hand, but it had already been damaged in the fight between the other party and Olivia.

Leon now had to make do with the spears of the squire cavalry instead.

As for the halberd ax specially made for the martial knight, although it looks more powerful, it is also too heavy.

This kind of specially-made heavy weapon can only be wielded by Olivia with her amazing strength, except for the boy Lohark.

After leaving the warehouse, he put the cavalry spear and kite shield on the packhorse carrying the luggage. He and Corvis climbed onto the two fat and strong ordinary Uriah horses brought by Hawke.

Leon didn't bother with his Wu Zui anymore. The noble war horse that had worked so hard to carry him and Corvis to escape to heaven now needed to keep fat at home.

When leaving, Olivia was nowhere to be seen. Azarian arranged for her to take shifts in patrolling the territory in the past two days.

In the morning, Azerien patrolled the territory, and the girl in charge of the afternoon was probably not up yet early in the morning.

After more than a month, he finally returned to Selva, but he couldn't have a good chat with Olivia, which made Leon a little regretful.

However, the journey to the front line is not far, and it only lasts for two or three days at most. After finishing the important matters, it is not too late to tell the girl about the adventures and experiences along the way.

Two people and three horses trotted along the wide road. Leon, bored, looked at the young attendant beside him.

After he accepted the other party's oath last night, he almost couldn't sleep. After thinking about it for half a night, Leon couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.

Of course, there was no need to hide this doubt with his friends. Taking advantage of the opportunity to chat, Leon asked the young man directly:

"Corvis, why do you want to be my squire? Although I am honored to have your allegiance, if you expect me, a little knight from the countryside, to help you restore your country in the future, you are really looking down on me. "

"Restore the country? You misunderstood, my lord." The blond boy denied.

Leon waved his hand: "Don't call me that when there is no one else. I am happy to be your master, but you are still my important friend. We are not talking about business now, we are just chatting with friends."

Corvis looked at the other party's serious eyes and had no choice but to nod.

"If you insist, fine, Leon."

The young man sighed and continued to answer: "Actually, after so many years, I have accepted the reality of the destruction of Vilania. The land in my hometown was not only occupied, but also completely conquered.

The misfortune of Villania is the misfortune of me and my relatives, as well as the misfortune of the royal family and nobles.

But it is not the misfortune of the people of Vilania alone.

Now, except for me, the last descendant, there are only a few surviving descendants of the Vilanian nobles, and they still cannot let go of the memories of the past.

As for the people of Villania, it is no longer possible for them to abandon the generous life of Atias people with sufficient food and clothing, go back to the past, and become poor mountain people again.

Even if I really have the opportunity to lead an army to try to take back my hometown, the first ones to raise the black flag and point their swords at me will probably be those former Vilanians. "

"You mean, after the Kingdom of Villania was annexed by the Ateas Empire, the people's lives became better?"

Leon sounded surprised.

To be honest, based on the news and knowledge he had come into contact with beforehand, as well as his hostile stance when saving Ms. Elena.

He thought that the black empire would turn all the Veranians into slaves.

"From what I saw when I followed Pirieno back to my hometown, the people are much richer than before. In a generation or two, they will proudly hold high the black flag of the empire and call themselves Ati. Yas.”

As he spoke, Corvis smiled bitterly and said: "Of course, descendants of the royal family like me and other noble descendants who survived being reduced to slaves are obviously not included in this."

"In the history of Artias' rise, he conquered kingdoms one after another on the Eastern Continent. In the current empire, how many people in the empire still remember the title of their father's and ancestral homeland?"

At the end of the sentence, Corvis had inexplicable melancholy in his eyes.

“I swear allegiance to you and reveal my bloodline, not because I still have unrealistic illusions about the past.

It is precisely now that I have the opportunity to choose my life again. It is precisely because I want to leave the past behind that I make the current choice in this capacity.

Even if there is a chance in the future to avenge the Ateas people for my lost relatives, I will no longer have the fantasy of the past as the son of the king. "

After listening to the boy's story, Leon fell silent for a moment.

To be honest, if the people in the Eastern Continent who were conquered by the Mage Empire, under the rule of the Magic Emperor, their living conditions would really be much better than before.

Regardless of his identity at the moment, from a God's perspective, Leon even admired the skills of those men in black.

If it can be done on the road of conquest, it will only harm the nobles and the original ruling class, not the people at the bottom, but it will greatly improve the living standards of the people.

The unification of the Eastern Continent by the Black Empire was indeed destiny in Leon's opinion.

After all, he is also a

Halfway through the thought, Leon slammed the saddle.

Damn it, he is no longer a commoner, he is a fucking noble.

However, after all, the Artias Empire is far away in the horizon, and I will definitely not see that huge legion set foot on the Western Continent to advance the historical process of the world in my lifetime. Leon still suppressed the unfounded worries at this moment.

He looked at Corvis again: "In that case, why do you want to start over by becoming my attendant?"

The young man blinked, looked at the lord he had chosen to serve, and couldn't help but smile: "Are you pretending to be stupid?"

"???" Leon turned his head sideways, with a black question mark on his face, not knowing why.

"You saved me twice. The first time you gave me freedom, and the second time you risked your life to save me from being hunted."

Corvis joked with a weird look on his face: "If I were a girl like Miss Olivia, I would probably want to marry you. Do you just not take your life seriously?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you said. This is the first time we are cooperating. The main reason for helping you is to save Ms. Elena."

Leon scratched his head: "As for the second time, I also wanted to save myself and my friends. It's impossible for that mage to kill you and then let me go."

"If you didn't tell me from the beginning that I could cross the spirit-like field, and you just took me far enough alone and then dropped me halfway, and escaped into the forest by myself, wouldn't I be able to escape from it?" Corvis was helpless. Shaking his head: "Why risk your life to save me like that?"

"this"

Leon lowered his head and thought about the feasibility of the plan mentioned by the other party.

After being silent for a while, he came back to his senses and said with some embarrassment: "Is there a possibility? The method you mentioned, I was too impatient at the time, so I didn't think of it."

"Did you not expect it? Or do you simply not think about it this way?" Corvis smiled and was noncommittal.

"But whether it was unexpected or not, your actions gave me a second life. I want to use this new life to serve you, so why not."

The blond boy looked forward and continued: "To be honest, there is a wonderful sense of security around you, which makes me feel that no matter what difficulties I encounter, you will lend a helping hand without reservation.

I admire your character, but I am also worried that this kindness will be taken advantage of by truly despicable people, so I want to stand by your side and become your sword and shield. "

Listening to the other party's praise, Leon felt a little hot, but he was immediately startled and turned to look at the boy: "Covis, I ask this, don't be angry, you don't like men, right?"

Seeing the sudden fear in Leon's eyes, the blond boy couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Where are you thinking? I am not a twisted and miserable guy like Eamon. If I have those thoughts about you, unless you tell me, You are a woman disguised as a man.”

Only then did Leon let go of the futile tension in his heart, waved his hand and joked: "Then let's do it in the next life. I'm far from being a man enough in this life."

After hearing this, Corvis said: "If this is true, it depends on the luck of reincarnation. Otherwise, I may accidentally become a girl in my next life."

On the road, two teenagers laughed heartily.

Going north along the road, instead of turning west at the fork in the road, there was no need to pass through the city of Faloris. Leon directly led Covis to the northeast along the main road.

This road leads to the Thornflower family's stronghold to the east.

And through the nearest border pass, they can enter the war zone.

According to what Azarian and the others saw when they returned, nearly half of the territory of Mamore County had been occupied by Orland, and the largest city in that area was currently surrounded by the Northern Kingdom's army.

It is said that as long as that fortified city is captured, nothing can hinder Orland from annexing that vast county in the future.

Leon couldn't help but make random guesses about how much benefit his lord could get in this war.

Advancing non-stop, taking out documents and passing through the fortress, Leon and Corvis only slept in the wilderness for one night near their destination. On the next morning, they arrived at the main camp of the Orland siege army.

Under the escort and surveillance of sentinels, they arrived at the frontline military camp.

Looking at the huge wooden city wall towering in front of me and stretching to the end, as well as the groups of soldiers, civilians, groups of merchants and craftsmen coming and going among them.

Looking at the various shops along the way, the street vendor market, and even the dancing hall, Leon was surprised.

If he hadn't known that what he was seeing was a siege camp.

Leon thought he had arrived at a large, developing town.

But the outline of the enemy city that he saw from afar before entering, as well as the large-scale engineering equipment being built around the camp, all told him.

It was as if the noisy scene in the town and the intense siege outside were happening at the same time and place.
