knight legend

In the forest outside the city, there were insects wriggling freely and enjoying the shade under the leaves, but many knights who stood firm were so lucky.

Some knights complained: "It's better to go to the guard team, they are really relaxed and don't need to bask in the sun."

"No, their captain is very strict."

The stern Captain Archiberg announced in the guard room: "We can't take vacations."

It would be nice to be like Nassar who is willing to rely on wages to support the family at home, but enjoyment like Duke and Gabby are complaining.

Three years, three full years without a summer party.Some of them have heard that Archieberg will go to the Cyan Knights after the autumn competition, and it stands to reason that it is true.

"Brother Naiden, please captain." This was said by Duke, who is also a nobleman who can make demands on Naiden unscrupulously. Naiden felt very bad when he heard it. Whether Berger called Naiden his big brother in front of him would make Archie Berger feel that he is the leader of a bad organization, and the second is that the word "begging" used Naiden in a very undignified manner.

A month has passed, and the majesty seems to have declined.Naiden thought.

But the summer banquet is really not good for him. If he is on vacation, he can't go to the magic prison in the name of work.

But Naiden is still very good at pretending, watching Archieberg check the letter, he asked: "Qiqi, do you want to participate in the summer banquet?"

Archieberger glanced at him, and every time this happened, his eyes were weird.

"Don't you think it's boring? What I dislike the most are banquets, dances, concerts, and theaters. Everywhere is such a waste of time." Archie Berg cut open the envelope with a knife, and the pile of letters turned white in an instant of a slice.

"I've never seen you dance. Even a man has to master this skill. When a knight reaches a certain age, he must meet people at the ball. This is... entertainment."

Naiden patiently persuaded him as an elder and sat next to him. In summer, Archibald's body is always cool, like ice.

"No." Archieberg replied.

"so?"

"I only started to learn etiquette when I was 12 years old, because there are a few useless wastes in the training ground who always like to pester me, but the way they beg for mercy is quite interesting." Archie Berger is different from ordinary people, Nai Deng clicked.

"So I can't dance. If you tell me about music theory or other more elegant things, I probably won't understand it."

No wonder he was reluctant to ask Archieberger to accompany him to the theater.Naiden thought deeply, he thought that the noble young master would like this kind of thing.

Some people are from the Appearance Association, and they also like to judge people by their appearance. Like Naiden, it is easy to get the first impression from the face, but his first impression and the latest impression are always easy to cause too much impact. For example, he thought that Archie Berger He is a very good young master.

"Your letters are all right," Naiden said.Archie Berger's handwriting was always very beautiful, although his mouth was harsh, but he was polite in his letters, and Naiden couldn't help but want to correspond with him.

"If you follow the necessary people, you will do the necessary things." Archieberg looked at him, "Can you start working?"

There are necessary people, there are necessary things.

Naiden: "..."

Fortunately, Naiden didn't like it very much, so he wouldn't be hurt by this sentence.It may also be that it is a bit of a habit to be too hot for too long, and it will become numb if it develops in a good way.

Right now, there are more important things to do, which is to wait for news from Opal.

"A lot of...love letters." Archieberg complained after cutting them, and then directly crumpled up the papers and threw them all into the trash can. "..." Naiden didn't look very happy,

"Sophie . . . to Naiden Capet."

Archieberg subconsciously read the words on the envelope, and then glanced at Naiden.

"That's nice, Naiden Capet."

"Wait a minute, Sophie just... wanted to thank me for helping them catch thieves so often."

Naiden didn't understand why Sophie was so brainless that she still sent a letter. If Archieberg opened it and checked the contents of the letter, he would understand that it was not some ambiguous love letter, but about some unknown plan.

"It's okay, I won't read it." Archieberg handed it to him and said, "Then should I approve your vacation, you seem to be really busy."

Naiden thought this was not an illusion. Archieberg seemed to care about him more. He would not be so sarcastic before. I don't know if this relationship is good or bad.

If it hadn't been for the news of Opal this year, this would not have happened.

At night, Naiden couldn't help saying to Sophie: "Miss, can I contact you in a more secret way next time?"

Sophie just took out the bread, gave it to Naiden after a slight pause, and said, "What's wrong? It's disguised as a love letter, no gentleman will read it—your captain likes to read other people's letters?"

"No." The real situation was a little worse.

It's just cooperation, and Naiden will not tell her about Archiberg. Sophie stuffed the bread to him incomprehensibly, and said, "Isn't this perfect? ​​The relationship between men and women is sometimes used There is nothing better than love as a disguise."

"But you don't have to think it's true, Mr. Naiden, you should look down on a commoner girl like me, right? My brother seems to be very happy to have you as my husband."

Ever since Neil looked at him like he had a good brother-in-law, Naiden's feelings towards him have completely changed.

Sophie always liked to talk nonsense, and Naiden agreed casually, saying: "So, what did you want me for?"

"It seems that I have found Nat's whereabouts." Sophie has been busy with Dyer's affairs, and has accumulated a little contact in the black market. She provides food to those who live in nowhere, and they tell her what they may know information.

"They're going to break the prison during the summer party, and they'll catch Nat then...we've got to be quick, though," Sophie said. "It'll be bad if you get caught by one of your people."

"So, he must be lurking in the city."

"Unless it's completely changed, but it shouldn't be missing at all. I still saw Amudu in the Moonlight Tavern, but after that, it was difficult to see."

"Bartender...or someone in a related industry?" Naiden seemed to be talking to himself.

Sophie froze for a moment, not understanding why he said that.

"They worked in the tavern, and there were also drivers who pretended to be the driver of Duran Winery..."

In fact, Naiden is not sure about the latter point, "If you are bringing a group of people, you should find a place to stay. The hotel is easy to expose your whereabouts. If you are in the city, you must have someone to rely on. The target can be locked as High society aristocrats."

Naiden also considered the possibility that Nat and Opal are two factions, which would be terrible, because so far, his investigations have basically revolved around Nat.

The magic prison is brightly lit, and some cages still contain white things that look like kittens.

Nassar and Archieberger were working, saw the kitten, and asked curiously, "Is that also a kind of monster, Captain?"

A month has passed, and he sometimes chats with Archieberg, even though Archieberger doesn't talk to him.

"Concentrate." Sure enough, the other party refused to respond coldly.Nassar grabbed the record at hand and flipped through it. This is the result of the investigation in the past month.

Flipping through it, he felt a little emotional: "Naiden's deputy team's rhetoric is very biased."

"What?" Archieberger looked up at Nassar.

For nearly a month, they have been assisting the people in the magic prison to investigate the incident of the Opal believers.

Since the garrison belongs to the city hall, it can be regarded as a force on the side of the city hall, and the city hall is under the jurisdiction of the royal family.Therefore, strictly speaking, there are still many benefits to joining the guard.

According to the confessions of believers and other prisoners, they have the following guesses:

[-]. The place where the Opal Cultists were found was in the Manzhi Forest, that is to say, they had some traces in that area, and it can be confirmed that their stronghold is in that area.

[-]. Stealing the Blood Princess from Whitburg proves that they have new actions at present, and the Blood Princess may be an important clue.But Ministry researchers have yet to find anything from Blood Princess.

[-]. Mel is very important to them, so they may come to rob the prison and take Mel away by force.

Based on various speculations, Naiden's bias is to introduce it to other places, and the focus is not consistent with the mainstream. For example, he believes that thieves and Opal believers should be hired and hired, not the so-called cooperation.

After looking through the records Nassar was holding, Archieberger seemed to think of something, so he didn't let go of Nassar's hand.Although Nassar has the physique of a knight, his hand still hurts from being clenched.

After a long time, Archieberg let go of Nassar and said with a smile, "You really care about others. A person always has his own opinions."

Immediately, he left the studio.

Naiden was temporarily entangled because of some tasks, so today it was just the two of them.

Usually, Naiden adjusts the atmosphere, and getting along is not too bad, but now Nassar only feels a little bored in the air.

He was not worried about being disliked by Archieberg, but he was afraid that Archieberg would think that he was a self-righteous person, and would put him aside later, and the salary he might receive for the tasks he received would be pitifully low.

Is it because I said Naiden... so mean.

On the promenade, a young man in a black robe was carried out by two people.Those two people took him to the interrogation room to meet the officer in the interrogation room, the captain of the security team.

"It has been controlled with a suppressor, and he is temporarily unable to move. In order to strengthen insurance, he was also given a stun spell, and he cannot wake up for 24 hours."

"It's really hard work for you." The captain smiled gently, as if the ice had melted in the spring breeze.

When the two retreated, he untied the young man's clothes and drew a magic circle on his body with his bloody fingers. A white monster slowly crawled out of the magic circle and walked on the young man's body , disappeared in a blink of an eye.

It's just an insurance policy, but if that's the case... Archiberg's thoughts drifted elsewhere.
