Lord of Hyranza

"Knight Suldak, do you have any questions to ask?" Instructor Mirono asked with a dark face, waiting for Suldak in the corner.

There seemed to be a gust of cold wind blowing in the classroom. Surdak didn't expect that he would sneak away, and his arms chased the shadows on the floor, and he raised his hands unconsciously. He had only listened to half of the class and had nothing yet. I understand, so there is nothing to ask.

He wanted to stand up from his seat, but found that the space was extremely narrow, and the young faces around him looked at him in surprise, then he moved the table, stood up and hesitated for a while, and then turned to Instructor Mirono. Asked: "Uh,... Instructor Mirono, which area was the heavy cavalry regiment guarding at that time?"

"It's located west of Constantinople..." Instructor Mirono gave the answer without even thinking about it. He pointed to a place on the map and continued: "It's right here. At that time, there were almost 12 heavy troops gathered here." cavalry and [-] imperial swordsmen."

He stared at Suldak, and said to him unceremoniously: "Next time, please don't interrupt my narration. If you have any questions left for the final question and answer time, I will answer your questions collectively, otherwise it will affect this matter." The continuity of historical events."

"Okay, Instructor Mirono." Suldak heaved a sigh of relief and sat down again...

……

Before fully adapting to the rhythm of life in the college, and not fully integrating into the rich learning atmosphere, the bell of the lunch break rang melodiously.

Mrs. Meredith on the podium calmly put down the chalk in her hand, sorted out the books in her hand, and said to the expectant students in the audience: "Everyone, get out of class is over."

The sound of moving chairs was mixed with the sound of running, and all the students rushed to the door, forming a river with the get out of class-ending army in the corridor, and rushed to the outside of the teaching building.

Suldak sat in the corner, only waiting for the few people left in the classroom before going out with the schedule.

He wants to go to the library to borrow some books at noon, including most of the books for cultural classes from the first grade to the third grade, so as not to be empty-handed during class and look like he hasn't studied at all.

He blended into the crowd and was two feet taller than the surrounding students. Several bold boys in the class approached him and asked him in a hurry: "You were recommended by the Knights." knight? '

'Have you ever participated in a plane war? '

'How old are you, can I call you uncle? '

'Would you like to join our field experience group?Our group still lacks a place. '

'You're really tall, can I see your knight's badge? '

All kinds of questions came one after another, including warm invitations, full of curiosity, and superficial temptations. These young people have not learned how to hide their inner thoughts. Suldak dealt with these curious teenagers all the way. , Everyone walked out of the teaching building together.

What followed was the intensive study of culture classes, the four classes in the morning and the four classes in the afternoon were fully filmed.

So there was such a scene in Hailansa Knight Academy, a knight holding a thick stack of books, going around every day to study cultural courses, he also studied cultural courses covering all subjects in the academy, in his courses There are no basic training and physical training, equestrianism, fencing and other courses on the list.

Suldak didn't know much about the history of the Grimm Empire, so whenever he was free, he would go to the library and read books about the history of the Grimm Empire.

The two girls, Nedra and Linna, found that the new neighbor next door seems to have to catch up with morning classes every day, and he always holds a thick stack of books in his arms, and he can be seen across the balcony almost every night. In class, he seemed to have no friends and was always alone, either sitting in the classroom or on his way to the classroom.

Some trainee knights around thought that he might not like to attend physical training classes, and he probably couldn't ride a horse, and he couldn't even hold a long sword. The so-called return from the plane battlefield was just to avoid those boring physical training classes. , and even a meddlesome person nicknamed Surdak behind his back: 'Knight of the Clerk'.

During the recent period, apart from his busy learning content, Suldak would also occasionally inquire about the news about the Dark Red Knight.

Only on weekends, Suldak will take some time to practice swordsmanship in the sword hall of the academy. In the evening, he will find a tavern with Karl to have a drink. Three weeks have passed in a flash, and so far the dark red The news of the knight's disappearance has not yet spread, and Karl's investigation has made no progress.

Chapter 322

Suldak originally planned to come to the Knights Academy, to be able to systematically learn advanced shield blocking and swordsmanship, and at least to learn some decent knight skills, but he came to Hailansa Junior Magic Academy and realized that it was not like that at all. The thing is, the heavy cultural class knowledge every day is so heavy that I can hardly breathe. These days, not to mention the practice of swordsmanship and shield parry, even walking the horse every day is barely enough time.

These heavy cultural lessons are not only jerky and difficult to understand, sometimes you need to go to the library to look up information before taking the geography lesson. If it’s just like this, it’s okay. The most troublesome thing for Suldak is the knight etiquette class, which is the most difficult The most important thing is the study of ballroom dancing in class. Looking at the group of young faces around him, Suerdak really didn't have the courage to invite a dance partner from there.

There is so much difference in height, is it hugging each other's neck or where?

Put it on your waist?That's impossible, it's simply out of reach!

Mrs. Fuller, who was in charge of teaching knight etiquette, could only end up teaching Suldak the most basic dance steps in person. Unfortunately, Suldak has no talent in dancing. Limbs are stiff and rhythmless, and seeing Surdak clumsy on the dance floor reinforces the claim that he has no 'athletic talent'.

The title of 'Clerk Knight' was widely spread in this small junior knight academy, and even reached the ears of the instructor Mirono.

Among these courses, only mathematics is the easiest course for Suldak. The Knight Academy only teaches the most basic four arithmetic operations. These math problems are almost at the level of some five-year elementary schools. The apprentice knights who were with him were so young, which made him unable to feel any sense of superiority. In math class, he usually huddled in a corner in a low-key manner, silently flipping through other books.

The teacher who taught mathematics felt that maybe this Weipei Knight student really didn't have any mathematical talent. In order to maintain his decency, the mathematics teacher never asked Suldak any math problems in class.

For Suldak, hiding in the sword hall every weekend is the most relaxing and leisure time. Every weekend, the sword hall in the academy will become very deserted. After a week of apprenticeship in the academy The knights will never stay in the sword gym on weekends, so the practice rooms in the sword gym are almost empty. Only at this time will Suldak go to the sword gym and occupy a separate practice room , starting from the most basic "ten bloody battle style".

Bena Province is known as the hometown of swordsmen. Almost all the best swordsmen in the Green Empire come from Bena Province. Therefore, even the Knight Academy does not lack the latest books on swordsmanship. Since there is no one to guide him in swordsmanship, I can only explore by myself, even if I spend all day in the practice room, I don't feel bored.

The only regret is that the wooden figurines in the practice room are of poor quality. Even if you practice hard with a wooden sword, the wooden figurines will be scarred all day long. Maybe there will be some wooden arms and wooden legs in the end. fell off the shelf.

……

This worry of Suldak has recently become a worry of Dacie Christie.

After Darcy Christie completed that not-so-good experience from the Warsaw plane, she successfully graduated from the Bena City Advanced Swordsman Academy. After graduation, Darcy could not stay in Bena City due to various reasons. Instead, he returned to Hailansa, and relied on his family connections to become a swordsmanship instructor at the Junior Knight Academy.

Originally, it was a very easy job. There were only three days of swordsmanship lessons a week, and the rest of the time was free, but recently, the training wooden figures in her swordsmanship practice room were damaged frequently. It breaks almost every week.Every Monday when the damaged teaching aids were replaced, Darcie Christie was really upset by the resentful eyes of the director of the logistics department of the college.

'Isn't it just a broken wooden man? If it's worn out, replace it with a new one. What's the big deal? Is it as painful as cutting his flesh? '

Darcy Christie returned to the practice room with a brand-new pair of wooden figures in her arms, reinstalled them on the wooden frame, and vented at the wooden figures with the wooden sword in her hand. Then she took a few deep breaths, adjusted her emotions, and let the He turned into the sweet and gentle instructor Daxi again, and then he pushed open the door of the practice room, allowing the trainee knights waiting outside to come in one after another.

Although she dismissed the director of the logistics department, Daqy has been paying attention to who is actually capable of chopping down the wooden man in her practice room with a light wooden sword. Unfortunately, she has not found that person for three consecutive weeks. Hateful culprit.

……

Surdak, who didn't know it, still ran to the sword gym every weekend, choosing the familiar swordsmanship practice room. Only this practice room will replace a new practice wooden figure every week-that's great!

Suldak, who has comprehended the 'potential', when practicing swordsmanship, every node of his body will unconsciously radiate sacred aura, and this sacred aura is injected into the wooden sword, even if it is very weak, it is not the most elementary level. What the training wooden man can bear, and because of this, the wooden man in the practice room will always be damaged for no reason.

Another quiet weekend.

Suldak, who had already practiced the ten styles of bloody battle, came out of the sword practice room. While wiping his sweat with a towel, he looked at the free basic sword skills on the wooden stand, looking for any suitable sword skills for him. Just like the "Ten Styles of Bloody Battle" that focuses on this book is obviously not very suitable for him, Suldak feels that he should learn a sword technique that has a slower attack rhythm and is suitable for infusing sacred breath into the long sword.

It's a pity that these swordsmanship books that can be placed on the bookshelf outside the practice room for free are all basic swordsmanship. Suldak searched for a long time beside the bookshelf, but couldn't find one that suits him. We met at the bar, and it was almost time to set off, so Suerdak put the light wooden sword in his hand back on the weapon rack.

There were only a few people in the hall of the sword hall in the afternoon, and the female administrators in the sword hall had already started to clean up the table, ready to close the hall.

At this moment, someone saw the door of the sword hall being pushed open, and a young girl wearing a court-style low-cut dress rushed in from outside. He walked into the sword hall with his legs and rushed directly to the sword practice room where Suerdak had just walked out.

The female administrator in the sword hall looked at the young girl with a look of astonishment, and asked with a puzzled look: "Daxi, why are you here? Today is the weekend, didn't you say that you will go to the dance tonight?" Is it?"

"The carriage happened to be on the way, so I'll come over to have a look..." Dacie Christie said without looking back.

Suldak only felt that the side face of the young lady in the dress looked familiar, but he didn't pay much attention, and turned and walked out of the sword hall.

Chapter 323 Opera House

Not long after Suerdak walked out of the sword gym, a piercing scream came from the practice room where he was...

"Ah... who broke my wooden man!"

Darcy Christie walked to the front desk angrily with a gloomy face, and asked the female administrator who was using her practice room. The female administrator opened the registration book full of names, with a bitter face , She couldn't remember exactly who was using the No. [-] practice room. She was usually alone in the sword gym on weekends. Although there were very few people in the sword gym on weekends, she still couldn't take care of it.

"Darcy, don't get angry. I will help you find that troublemaker next week. If he still dares to come, you should enjoy some weekends now." The female administrator said to Dacie Christie, she felt certain Some restless trainee knight in the academy secretly broke it, otherwise the trainee wooden figures are made of the strongest hardwood, so it would not be so easy to break.

"It's really hateful. I have changed the practice wooden dummy three times this month."

"..."

The female administrator looked at Darcy Christie sympathetically. Fortunately, it was Miss Darcy. If she changed the teaching aids three times in a month, I am afraid that the miserly director of the logistics department would not give her a good face, but Darcy The lady is on the relationship with the dean, that miser should not say too harsh words.

Daxi didn't get the desired result, and left the sword hall with a face of resentment.

The sycamore leaves on the sidewalk fell one after another, and Daxi wrapped the knitted shawl around her bare shoulders.

She wrapped her arms around her chest and walked towards the gate of the academy step by step.

The exquisite dancing shoes made a series of crisp sounds as they walked on the stone road.

Those young apprentice knights who saw her around would greet her and call her, "Miss Darcy!"

The afterglow of the setting sun made the forest road with red leaves like fire and the sunset glow complement each other. As she walked, she thought of the life in the Advanced Swordsmen Academy in Bena Province.

At that time, everyone's relationship was still very good. Her family was the most famous nobleman in Hailansa City. When she came to Bena Swordsman Academy, it was easy to join the circle of high society, and she made many friends because of this.

Hathaway is a friend I met when I first started school.

If it weren't for the appearance of senior Cole Norton, maybe the two should still be best friends who talk about everything.

Daxi pursed her lips. No wonder the instructors in the academy often said that the battlefield is a touchstone. They thought that Senior Norton, who was highly respected in the swordsman academy, would be so good, but he went to the Warsaw plane once. In addition to all kinds of unbearable things, I also formed an irresolvable hatred with my former best friend Hathaway. But at that moment, of course, the first thing I thought of was to protect myself, and how stupid it would be to face the powerful and fierce evil spirits. Can you know that you are invincible, but still stand up to fight?You Hathaway can do it, but it doesn't mean that I, Darcy Christie, must do it too.

Returning from the Warsaw plane to the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy, Hathaway and Beatrice became the heroes in the eyes of this class of swordsmen. After all, it is easy to break out of a war zone surrounded by evil spirits with swords. Let the young swordsmen in those colleges be excited.

'What is this? This is completely moral kidnapping. You Hathaway and Beatrice don't need to take me with you if you want to fight the evil spirits!I just want to survive the battlefield, what's wrong with that? Daqy felt a little wronged in her heart, it was like a stain in her life, the reason why she left Bena City was because she didn't want to be judged at the ball.

'It's all the fault of the Baron Sidney lying in the grave. If he hadn't sent a guardian knight to run over, maybe this matter would have ended differently. Darcy clutched the knitted wool shawl tightly with one hand, and pulled the skirt of the dance skirt with the other hand. The cold wind made the blush on her face fade away, and she still felt a little resentful in her heart until now.

Walking to the gate of the academy, a gorgeous magic caravan was waiting by the side of the road. An attendant stood outside the car to open the door for Darcy Christie. Darcy Christie stopped a second before stepping into the car, and turned her head to face the An attendant said, "Is there any news about the knight who asked you to inquire a few days ago?"

The attendant quickly said: "Miss Daxi, it seems that he only stayed in Hailansa City for a short time, and then left quickly. Up to now, he has not been able to find any news about that knight."

Dacie Christie raised her delicate eyebrows, and said coldly, "Since it's Sidney's knight, it must be from Hilansa. Follow this clue to investigate."

"Yes, Miss Darcy!" The attendant replied immediately.

Darcy Christie boarded the magic caravan, the attendants closed the door, and the magic caravan slowly merged into the traffic on the street.

……

The magic caravan that Darcy was riding in had just turned at the intersection.

Suldak was standing next to the street lamp, and the magic caravan that Dacie Christie was riding passed by.

He looked at a magic caravan parked on the side of the street, and considered whether to rent a carriage to go to the appointment. When he met Karl in the evening, he was destined to drink a little beer or golden cider. He didn't want to fall off the horse. down.

The city of Hailansa is not that big, but it takes at least an hour to walk from the Knight Academy to the garden square.

In the end, Suldak took a carriage to go to the appointment. When he saw Karl, this guy sat in a carriage at the entrance of the tavern. Karl came to a richly decorated opera house opposite the city hall square, Karl took out two tickets and handed them to the waiter at the door, and then led Suldak into this magnificent grand opera house.

Walking into the lobby on the first floor of the Grand Opera House, Suldak saw that many nobles in formal dresses were already waiting in the hall. Karl and Suldak could only stand in the corner and wait in line slowly for admission.

Suldak leaned close to Karl's ear, lowered his voice and asked him, "You want to listen to the opera, shouldn't you invite Mrs. Christie together, why did you come to me? I don't understand this thing. , Those imperial histories will blow my head off!"

Karl stood at the entrance of the revolving stairs, turned back with a proud face, smiled and said to Suldak: "Who said I don't have an appointment, she is waiting for us inside... Hurry up, do you need me to find you a female companion?" ?”

Suldak was also speechless for a while, unable to understand why Karl insisted on letting himself listen to such an opera. This is a high-quality life that only nobles can enjoy, and Suldak has time, and would rather have a drink in the bar and watch The liquor girls who can hold silver coins in their breast clefts.

Now that the tickets had been handed in, Suldak didn't say anything more, and followed Karl to the second floor.

It is said that the tickets in the opera house are notoriously expensive. A ticket here costs at least a dozen silver coins. For example, the private rooms on the second floor may cost two or three times more.

Hearing that Karl patted his chest and wanted to help him find a female partner, Suldak quickly refused and said, "Forget it, I don't want to meet the second Miss Brenda again."

Carl smiled disdainfully and said, "Brenda is young and beautiful, isn't she? Probably she's not your type, or would you care about Llewellyn?"

Suldak followed Karl through an inner corridor, and walked into a private room on the second floor of the opera house. Mrs. Christie and her maid had been waiting in the private room early, and when they saw Karl walk in, they complained about him. He was late, but at the same time he did not forget to greet Suldak politely.

Karl didn't pay attention to Suldak beside him, gave Mrs. Christie a big hug, and then whispered a few words in her ear. Mrs. Christie herself was not angry, and was amused by Karl's whispered words.

Seeing the leather chairs on the front terrace, Suldak walked to the semi-circular terrace in front of the private room with a wink. He carefully looked at the luxurious interior decoration of the opera house. The private room is located a bit to the left. The stage of the theater is at the bottom right. Watching the opera from a height is very visual, and Suldak can still see part of the audience in the hall on the first floor.

It was time to enter the stage, and the hall on the first floor was full of nobles waiting to enjoy the opera. The stage in front was covered by two gorgeous velvet curtains.

Before the opera started, Karl got rid of Mrs. Christie, leaned close to Suldak and put his arms around his shoulders, and pointed to a man in the front row of the hall on the first floor with a smile on his face, wearing a formal dress and combing his hair meticulously, constantly chatting with others. The nobleman who greeted him said: "He is Baron Grenfell. He likes to come here to listen to the opera after having a drink. He is very humble when communicating with others, and he is also very generous when giving tips. He is very popular with the waiters here. You are welcome, so don’t inquire about him here, it is very likely that you will be sold for a good price as soon as you leave.”

Suldak didn't expect Karl to bring him to the opera, but actually brought him to see Baron Grenfell. Looking down from the box on the second floor, he only felt that Baron Grenfell's hairline was a bit back. However, his eyes are very bright, and his skin is a little too pale, like the effect of a rotten and luxurious life and alcohol. He has an inherent decadence, and his eyes are arrogant, which is very aristocratic.

Suldak withdrew his gaze, he was worried that staring at Baron Grenfell for too long would make him vigilant again.

"It looks very young..." Suldak made a judgment, and then asked: "By the way, have you found any clues?"

Obviously, Karl found some clues, so he took the opportunity to ask Suldak to come over and take a look at Baron Grenfell.

Karl put his arms around Suldak's shoulders, and returned from the terrace. Under Mrs. Christie's burning eyes, he sat on the sofa and drank a glass of golden cider, and then said unhurriedly: "In order to investigate the dark red The true identity of the knight, I sent my men to guard outside Baron Grenfell’s manor for two weeks. Although I couldn’t wait for the dark red knight, I found another very strange thing. Every man in Baron Grenfell’s manor Every week, a special carriage for delivering wheat flour, meat, vegetables, and fodder drove in, and my subordinates made a rough statistic, and the food and fodder consumed were about 200 people."

"Do you think there are not so many people in his manor?"

Suldak didn't expect that Karl would send someone to guard outside Baron Grenfell's manor. Apparently, that smart subordinate smelled something unusual.

Karl glanced at Mrs. Christie beside her, who immediately responded with a gentle sweet smile.

Carl continued: "In order to find out the number of maids, servants, and farmers in his manor, I specifically asked Mrs. Christie to visit the mistress of that manor, and found out that in Baron Grenfell's manor, there were a lot of servants, servants and farmers. There will never be more than 70 people together."

Suldak's eyes lit up, and he asked, "So?"

"I can boldly assume that it doesn't matter if you hoard food and other things, but you can't hoard fresh meat, vegetables, and fodder, so I guess there is probably a group of people hiding in that manor, and they are a group of people who can't see the light." Carl said decisively, and there was a fever in his eyes eager to reveal the truth.

He paused, and then said: "However, it is not enough to search Baron Greenfield's private estate. I must have some more definite evidence before I can report this matter to the above."

"Did you bring me here just to let me take a look at Baron Grenfell from a distance, and then tell me this?" Suldak glanced at the luxurious box, and said exaggeratedly: "That's really the case , I think we can wait for him to come out in the carriage opposite the opera house, and there is no need to come here."

Karl personally poured him another glass of golden cider, exchanged glances with Mrs. Christie, and said with a smile: "Suldak, you have been in Hailansa city for so long, you should also learn to enjoy the aristocratic style properly." Life, hello! You really don’t need me to help you find a female partner?”

Mrs. Christie on the side also quickly assured: "I guarantee that this time I will definitely not find such a noble lady with character. I know many good girls."

Suldak hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Please! Don't mention this matter again!"

Karl sat up straight, and said to Suldak: "Another thing I want to say, the dark red knight seems to have really disappeared, and no one knows where he went. The explanation given by Baron Greenfield is dark The red knight has gone out to practice, and the return date is undecided!"

At this time, there was a melodious sound of music on the stage, and the chaotic hall of the opera house suddenly became quiet. The nobles who were still talking eagerly stopped at the same time. After everyone took their seats, their eyes fell. Inside the opened curtain on the stage, a group of dancers can be seen neatly running onto the gorgeous stage with light steps, their light bodies seem to be able to fly at any time.
