"I have observed you... Don't get me wrong, I will observe every knight in the Knights. I need to understand you so that you can play a stronger role in battle. You three country children who grew up together Becoming a sentinel is so unusual. Your performance is even more unusual. The three of you can read, write, count, and behave in a stable and mature way. You shouldn’t be born as a commoner in the countryside, let alone an orphan. child."

"It's incredible to be able to write and count?" Nick stared in surprise.

Mature in speech and demeanor? Emmm... this refers to my two little friends?

"It's unbelievable to think like you." With this reaction from others, Shane would think he was pretending, but with Nick's reaction, he subconsciously believed that he was real, "Books are extremely expensive resources, but getting books If no one teaches you to read and write, the book is just a decoration."

"Er... that's thanks to Aunt Mary, who taught us to read and count. Is that really rare?"

Aunt Mary can also read and write. When Nick learned from his two friends, Aunt Mary corrected him.As for the others... No one else in the village played with him.Then Aunt Mary "died", and he followed him to the town.He also knew that many people in the town could not read or count, but he always thought that those people were unwilling to learn.

Reading and writing were first proposed by the friends. Simon and Morrill had no books. They used wooden sticks to write words and sentences directly on the ground. The book that Aunt Mary took out was also the first book he had seen.Because of too much trust, some problems have become blind spots. Now that they are brought up, the friends are really strange, but Nick chose to lie to help the friends hide the truth.

"Don't be so nervous, no one will send three young sentinels over to be spies in one go. However, at least one of the three of you has a problematic background, most likely you, because they are indeed orphans, and you have an aunt .”

"Me?!" Nick pointed at himself in surprise.

Shan En was amused by him: "Don't be so afraid, it's not good for me to track down your real life experience, and since you have hid in such a place, the real life experience shouldn't be good for you, so... just treat me today I made a joke on you."

The last sentence, Shane leaned close to Nick's ear and said softly.Nick went all the way back to the dormitory in a daze—his ears are so hot.

_(:з」∠)_ When he reached the door of the dormitory, Nick realized that he didn’t know whether to enter the door, and then the door opened by itself, and Simon pulled him in directly.

Gu Cijiu asked: "Why did you come back now?"

"Don't you guys want to be alone?!" Nick felt hurt. Isn't it because of his friends that he didn't come back?

"Who would have thought that you would be so honest and not come back for a whole day." Gu Cijiu shrugged, "Okay, it's our fault, we should have gone to you earlier, let's eat quickly."

Nick was pushed into the kitchen by the two and found that the table was full of his favorite food.He sat down and picked up a meatball with a fork: "I ate at the leader's place for lunch today, and then I went to the fighting training ground with the leader. Finally, the leader said that he felt that the situation of the three of us was abnormal, so Very interested in us."

The content of Nick's words is quite high-energy...

"Because we can read and write, and our temperament is different from ordinary people?" Duan Shaobo asked.

"Well, I said it was taught by my aunt." Nick nodded obediently, and realized something after nodding, "Huh? You know."

"Nick, the two of us have already died once." Gu Cijiu sat next to Duan Shaobo, with his elbow resting on Duan Shaobo's shoulder, and the two of them smiled "kindly" at him .

"Then what were your names in the past? Are you also a sentinel?"

"So easy to believe?"

"I thought a lot on the way back... There are many things that you are definitely born with. Especially Morrill's cooking skills! From childhood to adulthood, you can eat everything you eat, and you eat things that other people don't eat at all Stuff. I was worried several times that I would be poisoned...the only thing that can explain all this is that you have lived two lives...and my gut tells me that what you say is true."

Appeared!Nick's gut feeling!Nick is not stupid, but his way of thinking is very direct, and he likes to rely on his intuition when he encounters things he can't understand.His intuition works in most cases, but once it involves his own emotional issues, it doesn't work. This is also a setting of the original plot, otherwise he and Shane wouldn't have such a misunderstanding.

"You haven't told me your names, what you used to do."

"It's just two small sentinels who live in seclusion and have no reputation in their lives." Duan Shaobo said.

"Do not believe!"

"Your intuition was wrong this time." Gu Cijiu knocked on the table. It's not a good thing to rely too much on intuition. The plot has changed a lot. They are also Shan En's subordinates. What if Nick makes mistakes in his emotional intuition? If it affects the battle situation, then they will also be in danger, "You can look for it. In the past 30 to [-] years, no pair of Dark Sentinel lovers died together."

"Then what about the longer time?" Nick felt that he should fight his intuition.

"A longer time? That's the story told by bards, right? Has any bard ever sung the story of two dark sentinel lovers? All the stories of sentinels are accompanied by a gentle guide."

Unless the sentinel became a nobleman above the baronet and had a formal genealogical inheritance, in this world with extremely low literacy, a person's story could not be passed down even two generations.

_(:з」∠)_Nick collapsed on the dining table: "I was wrong... Simon, I shouldn't believe you." He turned his head and only rested his chin on the table, "You are so strong, why didn't you Leave a legend?"

"Probably because we both spend our time loving each other..." Gu Cijiu looked at Duan Shaobo, Duan Shaobo also Gu Cijiu, and they smiled at each other.

Nick: "..." Well, he has completely surrendered!

With a sound of mouth and mouth, Nick cheered up. He ate the meatball first, then brought the stuffed pumpkin over, and said while eating: "Okay, these questions are not important, I want to tell you another Something else! I was beaten up by the leader!"

"..." Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo just felt that they had no sense of accomplishment for fooling Nick over so easily.This guy suddenly said this...

Duan Shaobo asked concerned: "Nick, are you sick?"

"Sick? No, I'm fine! Listen to me! Morrill, Simon, there are really ordinary people like you who can defeat the Sentinels by relying on their own experience and training!"

"He defeated you, right?" Gu Cijiu leaned his elbows on the table and rested his chin with his hand and said, "The difference between a sentinel and an ordinary person lies there. If the combat experience is similar, the regiment leader will not be so easy. .”

"In other words, I lack training and combat experience." Nick nodded. "I became a sentry and entered the Knights. I thought I had worked hard enough...but in fact, I was just self-righteous!"

It was so hard for Nick, with his mouth full of food, still articulate and serious.

Duan Shaobo glanced at Gu Cijiu; wanted to poke... his cheek.

Gu Cijiu: Together?

Duan Shaobo; together!

After eating stuffed pumpkin, Nick, who was eating a piece of mutton pie, had two fingers on his puffy cheeks at the same time, poking~~

Nick glanced at the two friends calmly, and continued to eat: "I also ate lunch at the head of the group, and the food cooked by the head is actually quite delicious, although it doesn't have as many tricks as Morrill's. Morrie Er, I think you can probably be good friends with the leader, you two are quite similar in many ways."

"Maybe." No, they can't be friends. Sean is a very guarded person, that is, a fool like Nick, who can quickly gain his trust.People like him and his younger brother who are full of secrets, even if they seem to be intimate with Shan En on the surface, it is still a show.

Speaking of which, Shane was really unlucky. The first 20 years of his life were very happy, and the Earl and his wife treated him very well.But later, with the birth of Felina and other younger sisters and younger brothers, the Earl and his wife's attitude towards him began to become cold and violent.For a long time, Shan En thought that he was old and shouldn't compete with his younger siblings for the love of his parents.

But the earl and his wife... just because they have been worried about Shane's life experience being exposed for the past 20 years, right?So treat him kindly.After a long period of time, they felt that the danger had passed, and the position of their biological son had stabilized, so they became indifferent.Fortunately, Shan En's personal ability is strong, and they still need to use him, otherwise Shan En's life is in danger.

"I'm going to train hard, Morrill, Simon, can you help me?"

Nick's voice interrupted the eye contact between Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo: "It's fine, as long as you don't meow."

"???"

Others had three days off, but the three of them voluntarily joined the training team on the second day, training much more than other sentries.Nick gritted his teeth, he didn't meow, he just wailed~

"Aw! Aww!" Not only was he beaten and screamed every day, but he was also pressed and screamed when he returned to the dormitory.

"Stop barking! It will do you good!"

"QAQ, I don't want to, but I can't help it!"

His whole body was in pain, but after being pressed again, Nick felt that his soul was about to be squeezed out of his mouth.

"I, I bite the pillow, you guys come on! Ah——!!!"

When Thomas arrived at the door of their dormitory, he staggered under his feet in fright, and Nick screamed so badly...

Entering the dormitory door, seeing Nick (who was still alive), Thomas wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I also said before that after you officially become a knight, you will execute an order, which is the first time. The debut. Now the task is coming, there has been an abnormal death in Swading Town, you go and find out the truth."

"Yes!"

Ten days later, Thomas (`Д)!!: "Is that clear?! It will take ten days to come to Swading, right?!"

Nick: "Well... Morrill found out the truth in three hours... the murderer was the butcher!"

Just like the town they lived in before, the mayor has a lot of power, and he rarely asks for help from the higher ups, because...it requires money.Not only tax revenue needs to be increased, but also the manpower sent over must eat and drink well, and even entertaining beauties costs a lot of money.

An abnormal death occurred in Swading town half a year ago. To put it simply, it was a murder case.It doesn't matter if one or two people die, and it doesn't matter if the old people who don't pay attention or passing merchants or jugglers die at the beginning. Even if these people die, everyone can still divide up their property, no one cares.But in the past six months, people have been killed every four or five days, and the dead began to include local men, women, children, and even patrollers in the town guard.

A month ago, the mayor's nephew also died. The mayor asked for help in horror, thinking that a devil appeared in the town.

——Shadow Demons can only possess beasts, but there have always been legends about shadow demons possessing humans, but this legend has always been considered absurd and ignorant, such as the mayor.No one expected that this would turn out to be the truth.

In fact, he is just a serial murderer butcher, but people in this era really have no experience in criminal investigation, not to mention that this case is still written in the original plot, basically the truth will be revealed as soon as he arrives at the place.Then they took the mayor's reward and set foot on the way home that afternoon.

The three of them were sure that the task had been completed, and Shane expressed his trust in them, but Thomas was still worried. After reporting that day, he personally took people to Swading Town.

He stayed in the town for more than eight months and rediscovered the truth.The murderer was a butcher in the town. He had killed too many pigs and cows, and suddenly wanted to try killing people. After trying it, he became addicted.He wasn't possessed by a shadow demon, but how different is this kind of person from a demon?

Then, being sent off by the mayor with an ugly smile, he returned to the knight order: "These three boys are really capable."

It was a waste of a trip, and it could even be said that he lost face, but Thomas in front of Sean was very relaxed, because the three young people he trained were not people who took human life as a game, they were really capable of running at the fastest speed. Solve the problem within the specified time, not pretend.

"So... I'm giving you a person, and your team will specialize in solving this problem, how about it?"

"no problem!"

As a result, the Thomas team became a dedicated homicide investigation team, probably the earliest homicide team in the world?In the next few years, the reputation of their team has even become more and more famous, and several surrounding counties have invited them to investigate the case many times.

Of these cases, only the first two or three cases were mentioned in the original plot, and later they were completely unfamiliar cases.But except for a few cases, which took two to three days to investigate, the rest of them were able to reveal the truth within 24 hours of their arrival.

In the second year after the establishment of the team, Thomas was promoted to the squadron leader, and the team leader became Gu Cijiu.

What Nick thought at the beginning has come true, his little friend is indeed able to own a single dormitory one step ahead of him!But none of his friends moved!

Nick was very strange and asked them why.

Gu Cijiu looked at Nick with bad intentions: "If you move, you won't be able to live in this dormitory alone. You will probably live with other people and use a rope... Would you like to?"

"No! I don't want to!"

"Isn't this the end? We are also sorry for you, so we will stay."

Nick said sincerely: "_(:з"∠)_Thank you. "

Six years later, Nick's spirit animal awakened, and it turned out to be a big wolf!

→_→It’s not like him at all. As for Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo, their spiritual animals have not awakened, but they can still happily beat up all the sentries of the Knights including Nick.However, their task has always been to investigate cases, and Shane rarely asked them to do other things.

This time, their case went further. The next door to the Earl of Xikia, a case of missing and murdered children occurred in the city of Xikia.At first, the people here thought it was done by outsiders. Bards, jugglers, and businessmen were in bad luck, but after more than a dozen people were executed in succession, the children still disappeared, and their bodies were found three to six days later. .

"I'm sorry, we're still here..." Nick pulled off his cloak and covered it with a little girl. He picked her up and walked out of the bell tower with heavy steps.

She was only eight years old, with beautiful curly blond hair and clear blue eyes.But now her golden curls were covered with plaster, and her blue eyes were covered with a white film of death.

On the day they arrived, the girl had just disappeared, you can at least save the little girl for them, but now it seems that the little girl has been dead for at least 24 hours, and those people killed her immediately after they caught her—this is The principal culprit in the case was an illegitimate son of the earl, and the accomplices were a dozen knights from the earl's guard of Xichia.

They are all the earl's guards, but the earl's guards here are all ordinary people without knight titles. What they do is to maintain the law and order of Xiqia city. The disappearance of the girl is regarded as their own guarding.

This is why the earl himself has almost the same clues, and even many children of noble families are also victims.

"Sorry..." Nick handed the girl to the parents waiting outside. The girl's mother screamed and cried, and she intended to scratch Nick's face, just like Nick was the murderer of her baby, and the girl's father caught her in time. After hugging her, he hugged his wife tightly, allowing her to cry and beat in his arms...

In most cases, Nick is used to this kind of irrational and complaining behavior from the victim's family, but today is one of the exceptions.

Nick stood alone for a while, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo came back—they split up, Nick went to rescue people, while Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo went to hunt down a few escaped members of the guard.Nick failed to save people, but judging from the blood on his friends, they succeeded in arresting people.

"It's all gone?" Nick walked over and asked.

"No exception." Gu Cijiu replied.

At this time, the couple had just left with the poor little girl in their arms, and the expression on Nick's face fully explained the situation, so the two of them didn't ask what was going on.

"Let's leave today." Duan Shaobo suggested that the sky was getting dark, but the magic horse also has excellent eyesight at night, so it's no problem to ride away overnight.

Nick knew that it was his friends who were taking care of him. Although he usually left after the case was over, he didn't leave at this time: "Can you wait a few days? I want to attend the funeral of that little girl."

"Listen to you."

Two days later, the little girl was buried.But on the day they left the Earl of Xiqia, they saw the emperor's envoy wearing a red hat, and he brought the conscription order to Earl Xiqia!The emperor is about to start a war against the principality of Aidorn in the north, and requires all the great nobles to lead the army and fight for honor with the emperor!

The time has indeed come to the original plot, and it is time for Nick to change the map again.

Although the Principality of Aidorn is just a principality, it has a strong national power, a large number of famous generals, and occupies a favorable terrain, so it has successfully blocked the pace of the Black Tower Empire's northward invasion.

But don't get me wrong, the map that Nick changed was not Aidon, but the capital.This time, many nobles led soldiers to the capital, but many of them never left.

In this drama, the truth of the second prince’s life experience came to light, Shane was still Shane, and all Earl Lessinger’s family died except for Felina. made initial contact.

Now Nick and Felina not only don't have any sparks, but their antipathy is growing day by day.

In the first two years, Felina was in firm control of the guide. Unless it was a sentinel who was willing to obey her orders, she would only lead the guide to guide the sentinel when the sentry's senses were overloaded and they were on the verge of rioting.Four years ago, there was a vicious incident in the barracks. Five sentries had collateral effects and rioted at the same time. More than 20 sentries and non-sentry knights including Shane were injured in order to control them. Three guides were almost forced to link .

The earl had to come forward and ordered Felina to conduct daily counseling for the sentry to stabilize the sentry's mood.

The earl's order, Felina should have been frightened by this incident, and obediently accepted the order.Afterwards, Felina benefited from this incident instead. The sentries are arrogant, and few sentries are willing to obey Felina's orders in exchange for the guidance and care of the guide.But gradually, some sentries and guides fell in love with each other, and some sentries were willing to swear allegiance to Felina for their lover.

Nick was terribly disgusted by this, thinking that Felina was like a madam in a whorehouse.

In the original plot, Nick had a close relationship with Felina, and he heard Felina's own explanation: "I dare not hand over the guides to Shane. Shane is too partial to the sentries. I am worried that he will use the guides as a kind of sentinel." A reward for the sentries. Even the sentries who have established a link with the guides cannot be trusted too much, who knows if they will obey Shan En's order and force those guides to do things far beyond their abilities?"
