A woman named Eleno opened the door, and there were still tears on her face that had just been wiped away.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Rupert."
Claude tied the horse to the iron pillar at the door, and walked into the small building with the box in his hand.
The address just now seemed to make the woman a little bit uncontrollable again. She lowered her head again, wiped it carelessly, and then forced a smile.
"Sit down, please, I'll make some tea."
"No, ma'am, there's no need to do that." Claude held the box a little uneasily, "I... I'm sorry to tell you such a thing."
"No, it's a courtesy, and I don't think Adelin will be happy that I treat his colleagues so rudely."
The woman hurriedly turned around and walked towards the kitchen. She obviously needed some time and space to be alone.
Claude didn't speak anymore, he just sat down at the table, put down the box, and began to observe the residence carefully.
There are no windows on the first floor. This is obviously to cover the crossbow arrows if the enemy attacks. There is a steel fence door on the ceiling with iron spikes all over it. Obviously, it can be used as a second door when it is lowered. He also saw the wall. The two iron rods vertically on the top are just long enough to reach the specially dug steps to support the iron gate.
Then he continued to look up the stairs and met a pair of eyes.
The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 19 Storytelling
The girl is not very old, maybe the same age as Claude. She has long, smooth platinum hair, and her plain clothes can't hide her beauty, but instead set off her like an angel who has fallen from the mortal world.
But no one would regard her as an angel, because angels have scarlet eyes.
Claude just glanced at her, then smiled at the girl a little cautiously, and then immediately lowered his gaze. After all, staring straight at a lady is almost a provocation to the host. .
"How about it?"
[After the scan, some of the genetic traits of Knight Adelin and Ms. Eleno were not reflected in this girl. It can be confirmed that she has no blood relationship with these two people, and there are only her and Ms. Eleno in this house There are few traces of permanent residence and Adelin. 】
"Very well, the next thing is to let this girl admit her identity."
Claude was in a happy mood. He didn't expect to find the strong claim to war with the Theocracy so quickly. Although it's a bit early to discuss this, but with this card in hand, he still has many ways to let her dispatch it in advance. use.
"Excuse me, Mr. Knight, what are you here for?"
The girl didn't get too close, there was a long table across, and a low wall stretched beside her. This kind of bunkers can be seen everywhere in this room, you don't know whether there is a bottle of pickles or a handful Strong crossbow.
"Sorry, I'm here to inform the family of Knight Adelin about his death and the pension given by His Royal Highness Ludwig."
The girl's body swayed, and she held onto the low wall tightly with her hands.
"Ad... Father, he passed away?"
"Yes, sorry."
Then Claude seemed to remember something.
"Excuse me, are you the daughter of Knight Adelin? Before he died, he asked me to deliver a message to his daughter."
"Yes, it's me."
The girl nodded, but she didn't mean to tell Claude her name.
"Then I'll start the retelling."
Claude cleared his throat, and began to speak with a voice that could reach the kitchen: "My dear daughter, I hope you can let go of all responsibilities that do not belong to you, and live freely."
Then Claude closed his mouth and looked at the girl quietly.
The footsteps rushed from the kitchen, and Eleanor's figure immediately stood between Claude and the girl.
"Lina! Why are you disobedient!"
"Mother...why didn't you tell me?"
Eleanor's face was a little pale, but she still maintained a strong tone: "Too many people have died, and Adelin will not be missed, and I will not be missed. Adelin's thoughts are the same as mine, Your Highness , you should not bear this responsibility far beyond your own."
"But... so many people died, just to keep me alive? I can't bear so many dead lives and live like an ordinary person."
The girl hugged Aileno tightly, although they kept their voices down when communicating, but at this moment, she could no longer suppress her emotions.
"So many people...Brother Carol, Uncle Dakia...all the knights of the knight order...they are all dead! Why am I still alive! Obviously, as long as I die, they don't need to die!"
Eleno could only hug the girl tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
"It's worth it, Your Highness, believe me, it's worth it...their pain will not be less than yours. The principality is destroyed, but they are still alive. If it weren't for you, they might have died in alcohol in a daze, yes You made them knights again, and each of them went to death with a smile on his face."
Claude sat down quietly, waiting for the two women to calm down their mood.
He already knew the current situation. The last blood and bones of the Principality of Wallachia had probably been drained. This young Highness couldn't bear so many people dying because of her, so he was madly using the restoration of the country to force himself, but Both Adelin and Eleno knew that this was impossible, and they tried to persuade the girl, but the girl couldn't listen.
If Claude's guess is correct, probably this Highness wants to find a prince to marry, hand over all legal principles and fiefdoms to the empire, and provoke a dispute between the two behemoths in this world, so that it is possible to rebuild Valachi Sub-principality, and the one who sits on the principality seat is at least a child with the blood of the grand duke.
This is not so much a kind of sowing discord, but in fact, this kind of behavior is sad like spitting at the sky. It is impossible for the empire to go to war with the Holy Kingdom because of this kind of thing. A little more land, so that the Theocracy will be even more unable to look north.Of course, he would not refuse His Highness to marry, after all, the strong claim to the territory, this bait is definitely enough.
"Sorry, I lost my composure, Knight Claude."
Both women eventually sat down at the long table and looked at Claude.
"No, both are very strong women."
Claude pushed the box over: "This is the pension given by His Royal Highness Ludwig. His Highness knows that these cannot make up for the pain in the two hearts, but at least life must continue."
Eleanor nodded, and then seemed to want to say something, but stopped talking.
"Then my mission is over, and I should leave."
"Wait, Knight Claude, I want to know, ah...how did my father die."
The girl immediately spoke out to stop her.
Claude stopped, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, but then he sighed.
He bowed deeply to the two.
"very sorry."
"Hey?"
"I was the last person to see Knight Adelin, and I was the one who took away the letter and Knight Adelin's commission, but failed to save the knight."
Claude sat down and narrated the whole story in a low voice. He and Adelin fought against the cult and protected the civilians. In the end, Adelin was seriously injured because of another knight's sneak attack, but he firmly restrained him. The opponent, allowing himself to kill the scum of that knight.
"After Knight Adelin entrusted me with the letter and sword, he closed his eyes."
Eleno was already sobbing, but there was still pride in her lover on her face.
The girl stood up and stared at Claude with her ruby eyes gratefully.
"Please don't feel guilty anymore. It is you who protected your father's honor as a knight. I think he would rather die than fail to complete the task. It is you who fulfilled him, Knight Claude, your spirit and virtue It is deserved to be praised, er, noble, please stop blaming yourself like this."
She bowed solemnly to Claude.

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 20 Textbook Performance
"Boss! Boss!"
A little boy ran over with a bag in his hands.
"I caught a fat bumpkin sheep! It's so heavy inside, I took a look, and it's full of gold and silver coins!"
The man yawned, spit out the thatch in his mouth, and looked at the little boy who asked him for credit.
"You won't touch the ass of some nobleman again, will you? You guys have always relied on your smallness so anyone dares to steal."
"Impossible. It was introduced by Old Joseph. I just bought a map of Zhangdidu from him for one silver coin. He must be a newcomer, probably a little knight from the countryside."
The boy handed him the bag in his hand: "I saw that guy tied the horse to the door of the gloomy house at 137 Brunhild Street, and he agreed to only steal half of it, and I will return it later. "
"This amount... that guy didn't sell all his land and wanted to try his luck in the capital, did he?" The man tilted his weight and looked strange. When he opened it, he found that there were really mixed gold coins and silver coins, and the number of gold coins was really high. Quite a few, at least you can buy a good house in a good location in Midtown.
"Forget it, just teach this stupid young man a lesson, leave all the silver coins, and return the gold coins to him." The man threw the money bag to the boy, and then gave him a little head, "You know so You dare to swagger through the market with a lot of money, and you dare to be so presumptuous on Lao Tzu’s territory, if I ask you to go to other places to inquire about something, won’t you be caught in an instant?”
"How is it possible? You don't know how clever I am, boss."
The boy laughed and poured out all the money, then put the gold coins back one by one, and smashed them back: "I didn't expect there to be so many, that guy Old Joseph also missed it! Boss Did you think of the time when you came to the imperial capital before, that's why you returned them all so generously?"
The boy responded with another dunk.
After packing it, the boy shook the bag, and a mark on it slipped across the man's sight inadvertently.
"and many more!"
The man snatched the bag and looked at it carefully. After finding out that it was real, his face was so ugly that he swallowed a pile of excrement raw.
"What's wrong boss?"
"You're in big trouble!" The man immediately put all the money on the table back, and picked up his purse and knife.
"Where is that knight? Take me there!"
Just when the leader of Pirates and Youdao was looking for someone in a panic, a few kilometers away, there was a small building surrounded by various thugs.
"No. 137 Brunhilde Street, there is a young girl with long platinum hair and red pupils, I want her, she is intact, if there is one hair missing, I want one of your fingers, Understand?"
"understand."
The owner of the small building, the butcher Huck nodded desperately
It's not that he doesn't want to be more humble, but that the tip of the other party's knife is already on his neck.
The entourage at the side dropped a box and followed his master to leave. Huck jumped on it greedily. The box was full of imperial gold coins. He put the box away carefully, and then watched the two people disappear from sight.
"Who is that girl..."
Huck rolled his eyes, and finally gave up thinking. After all, there are no idiots who can make it to the present. The other party chose to pay him first before letting him do things, and he made it clear that he was not afraid of his regret.
He is just greedy for money, not looking for death.
"Hello, Plick! Who owns 137 Brunschildstrasse?"
"Boss, it's the territory of that Friedrich and those orphans!"
Huck narrowed his eyes. The news is not very good. The Orphan Gang is a strange thing in the lower city of the imperial capital. They strictly forbid smuggling and human trafficking, which caused them to lose a lot of business. The well-organized management of those people in the world made a large number of more formal businessmen willing to go to their territory to do business after they came to the imperial capital, so Friedrich was able to sit on an equal footing with them by collecting protection fees.
If it was another place, as long as he said hello in advance, he would be able to take people away in the past, but robbing people on the territory of the Orphan Gang...
Huck decided to go himself, bring the main force of his Bloody Hand Gang, and grab it directly!
-----------------------------------
Eleanor saw a letter in the box, which was left by Adelin before he left. He knew that the crime was serious, so he left a suicide note early.
Adelin's widow was crying inside, so the girl could only send Claude out.
"Thank you for telling us everything, Knight Claude."
"It is my duty, Miss Rupert."
"Just call me Lina, goodbye, Mr. Claude."
The girl waved goodbye to Claude.
But after the knight untied the horse's reins, his expression seemed a little stiff.
"what happened?"
"Oh, uh, I want to ask, do you know of any places around here that are unstaffed, Miss Lina?"
The boy's face was flushed red, and he spoke in embarrassment and secretively.
"Hey? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"That... I seem to have accidentally lost my purse." Claude said eagerly, as if a little ashamed, "Now His Highness's manor is closed, and I can't go back, so, please-"
Lina couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.
"Mr. Claude, it's not that you lost your purse, it was stolen."
"Stolen?! But I obviously..." The young man had a dejected look on his face, and scratched his head a little shyly, "Well, it seems that this is really a profound lesson, then I will report the case to the patrol team first Well, goodbye, Miss Lina."
"Wait, Mr. Claude." The girl called him quickly, "I think, you must not have dinner yet? Why don't you stay here and have dinner?"
"No, no, no, I can't trouble you, maybe I can find the thief as soon as I get to the patrol team." Claude shook his head immediately.
"No, it's not troublesome. I also want to thank you for everything you have done for my father. Please be sure to stay. I think that a lady who invites you to dinner will not be rejected, right?"
Claude could only nod embarrassingly, and tied the horse back to the iron post.
