Lord Highlander

  Chapter 333 332. Quarrel

Opposite the Knight Academy, near the Magic Tower, there are many shops. Many shops here are dedicated to providing services for those magicians, including some magic materials, magic scrolls, books, magic robes, staffs, etc. A wide variety of shops, There are also hotels and restaurants, and it is close to the wealthy area, so the consumption level belongs to one of the highest areas in Hailansa City.

A magic caravan was parked beside the sycamore trees that had lost all their leaves, and there was still some snow on the grass beside the road. Karl was sitting on a bench in a thick overcoat. He raised his eyes and looked at the fast-walking Suldak smiled helplessly at Suldak: "I really want to know, if I don't come to see you, can you really hold your breath and not ask the result of this matter?"

Suldak was wearing some old Warcraft leather armor, and sat casually beside Karl, sitting on a bench, and he could see a magic shop named Orianna across the street. He asked Karl: "You can't wait for the weekend to come and tell me what happened in the past two days?"

   "Don't you know how serious this assassination is?" Karl asked Suldak.

He stood up, stared at Suldak seriously and said, "That's not an ordinary assassin, he is an assassin who specializes in special missions in the Black Magic Priory, and he killed two swordsmen in the guard battalion in one face-to-face. Those two are the most outstanding swordsmen in the guard battalion."

   "So..." Suldak asked with a smile.

  Carl saw that Suldak's reaction was flat, so he approached and asked, "I want to know...how did you escape the assassination by that assassin."

Suldak sat up straight, and said to Karl: "I have made full preparations in advance, of course there is a little bit of luck in it, you may not know... I used to be a shield fighter in the infantry regiment, in order to prepare for the night In case of possible assassination, I even bought a shield..."

   As he spoke, he pulled out a tower shield that looked like a door panel from his magic pocket, and stood on the ground with a bang.

  Kal stared wide-eyed, looked at Suldak dumbfounded, and said, "You are too exaggerated, you can actually lift such a heavy tower shield!"

Suldak put his arm into the sheath on the north side of the shield, picked up the tower shield effortlessly, and then demonstrated to Karl: "This shield is tied to the forearm, although it is big and heavy, But you don’t need to move frequently during the battle, as long as you stand in front of you.”

  Carl touched the surface of the shield, and the neatly arranged four-edged spines felt cold to the touch, and there were some dried blood stains on the surface.

Seeing that Karl was looking at the tower shield in a daze, Suldak put away the tower shield in no hurry, put one hand on Karl's shoulder, and asked him: "What's so good about this ordinary heavy shield? You can buy it at a blacksmith shop in Hailansa City, by the way... have you caught Ms. Summerya?"

   "She slipped away..." Carl said with a look of embarrassment.

  Suldak felt that he might have misheard, but seeing Karl's constipated expression, he asked Karl with a headache: "This...can make her run away?"

Karl explained to Suldak with a full face of apology: "At the beginning, the high-level people in the battalion were negative about the capture of Samya. She is a well-known performer in the opera. They thought my speculation was wrong. On any basis, they wouldn't even want to spy on Summera if I hadn't brought it up at the meeting."

"But at the back, no one thought that she was actually a puppet warlock! Although we sent a watcher, she actually used puppetry to lure the watcher away, and then killed five guards who were chasing her along the way The knight escaped under the siege and interception of the guard battalion!"

   "But our people didn't see her go out of the city, she should still stay in Hailansa city..."

Suldak's face was a little dark. There are only two possibilities for Samya not leaving the city of Hailansa. The first one is that she has a very safe hiding place in the city and can escape the search of the black dogs in the guard camp. The second is that she was hiding in a certain residential house in Hailansa City, only waiting for the assassination to succeed before leaving quietly.

  Suldak only hopes that it is not the second type, because... he is very likely to be one of Samya's targets.

   He asked Carl: "So what are you going to do?"

  Carl rubbed his hands and said to Suldak: "We analyzed that the target of Samya is probably you. The above means that they want to use you to come forward to lure them out."

"You mean that members of the Black Magic Priory will take the initiative to find me?" Suldak frowned. This was the last scene he wanted to see, but the matter had reached this point, and it was useless to blame anyone. We could only work together to make up for it, and Suldak asked Karl again: "Then what do I need to do?"

Karl saw that Suldak didn't lose his temper and didn't say any harsh words, so he quickly said: "We will arrange for you to go out of the city, they may plan an interception on your way home, and this time they will send Construct Knights to protect you." For your safety, the battalion will mobilize a large number of manpower this time, and will notify the magicians in the Magic Union law enforcement team. This time, it will be safe. If you don’t deal with this trouble, everyone will not be able to sleep every night in the future. A good night's sleep."

  Suldak was a little hesitant. Of course, he also knew that Karl was telling the truth. If the Black Magic Priory didn't solve it here, the trouble would come to him sooner or later.

   "But here at the Knight Academy..." Suldak thought about the heavy cultural lessons every day. No matter what, the graduation certificate from the Knight Academy must be obtained.

  Carl waved his hand casually, and said, "I'll help you with this. Coming here to study is actually just going through the motions for us, and there is no need to be so serious."

   "You have to give me some time to think about it..." Suldak said.

   Afterwards, seeing Karl staring at him intently, Suldak sighed softly, could only bite the bullet and agree and asked: "Well, what good do I have?"

  Getting the desired result, Karl smiled, as if he was ready to say directly: "We will invite you to join the Knights of the Guard Battalion."

  Suldak sat back on the bench weakly, and asked Karl: "Can this be considered a reward?"

In fact, the Knights of the Guard Battalion are just like the night watchmen in the city. In the eyes of the people of the Grimm Empire, they are just a group of stinky dung who have low ability to do things and can only squeeze ordinary citizens. They are a group of hooligans with government subsidies. This group of knight lords who usually rode their horses and swaggered around the streets would always be the last ones to arrive in case of emergencies.

   Unless necessary, Suldak really didn't want to put on this black skin.

  Carl smiled triumphantly, and said to Suldak: "After you enter the guard camp, you will find that as long as you become an official knight, there are still many advantages. Believe me, this decision must not be wrong."

  Although the guard battalion in Hailansa City is unpopular, it is still an official department of the Grimm Empire.

  Suldak asked again: "By the way, how is the situation at Baron Grenfell's estate?"

  Carl's smile froze, and his originally somewhat flamboyant expression instantly languished, and he only said: "The higher-ups are going to use Samoa as a breakthrough. As long as I can find something from Samoa, I can apply for a search warrant!"

All right! The implication of this sentence is that Baron Grenfell is currently still under the protection of the Green Empire's noble decree, and the guard battalion currently has no right to infringe on Baron Grenfell's personal privacy.

  Suldak put the large tower shield beside him back into his magic pocket. Apart from being a bit bulky to carry, this shield has no shortcomings.

  The weather is a bit cold. Passers-by on the street are wearing windbreakers, and occasionally you can see magic apprentices wearing magic robes. In Hailansa City, it is probably only here that you can see magicians.

  Karl rubbed his cheeks that were a little numb from the cold, and looked around. Sure enough, there was a tavern sign not far in front of him. He pointed to the tavern and asked Suldak:

   "Do you want to find a pub and have another drink?"

  Suldak looked at the sky, it was only noon, he shook his head and refused, "Forget it, who knows when Samya will come out."

Seeing that Suldak was unwilling to go into the tavern for a drink, Karl had no choice but to give up, and said to Suldak: "Oh, by the way, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, follow me to the guard camp to register, it can be regarded as an official entry. "

  Suldak shrugged helplessly, and said, "I still have four cultural classes to attend this afternoon!"

   "Okay, I'll go to the Knight Academy with you first, and get things done on the academy side first!" Karl said with a smile on Suldak's shoulders.

As he said that, he waved to the magic caravan parked on the side of the road, and was about to take a carriage with Suldak to the Knight Academy. Suddenly, he felt that Suldak stopped, and Karl asked strangely: "What's the matter?" ?”

Suldak stopped in his tracks. He looked at the entrance of the Orianna Puppet Magic Store. Through the glass window, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered inside, and some even stood there arguing. Suldak said: "I saw some acquaintances, new classmates in the Knight Academy."

   "Would you like to say hello to them?" Carl asked.

  Suldak looked away, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Forget it, there are at least two generations between me and them, but we don't have a common language... But it seems that they have encountered some troubles."

While speaking, the door of Orianna's puppet magic store was suddenly knocked open, and two teenagers were pushed out of the store in a state of embarrassment, followed by a dozen young men in leather armor and with swords on their waists. The badge on the chest does not represent the sword and shield of the knight, but the double-edged sword that symbolizes the swordsman inserted in the rose bushes. The group of teenagers with proud faces are standing at the entrance of the Orianna puppet shop. , more than a dozen apprentice swordsmen surrounded two apprentice knights.

Linna, Nedra, and three other girls that Suldak didn't know chased them out of the Orianna puppet shop. Linna ran in the front and shouted at the trainee swordsmen: "Vic, you Stop…"

A blond boy stood out among these trainee swordsmen. He approached Linna and preached to Linna: "Linna, how many times have I told you that you are going to practice outside and stay with us?" Form an adventure team, everything is ready on our side, why organize another one, even if it is an organization, you can't just find some mobs casually, although there are no powerful monsters in that half-plane, After all, there are still some dangers lurking."

Linna stood at the door of Orianna's puppet store, staring at the big lake blue eyes, and said to Vic: "I want to do something, you have no right to interfere, if you dare to hurt my classmates, I will definitely do it!" You look good!"

   Afterwards, Linna waved to the distance, and the two guards waiting beside a magic caravan hurried towards Linna.

  Suldak knew that Linna's family was wealthy, but he didn't expect that she would be accompanied by two guards, apparently from a noble family in the city of Hailansa.

  The young Vic said with a playful smile: "I just help you train their resilience."

  His group of companions surrounded the two apprentice knights, and a group of people stared at the two apprentice knights back to back.

   "You fart... Whoops!" one of the trainee knights scolded angrily, but was slapped severely by a trainee swordsman in the crowd.

   The two guards who ran over did not step forward, but just protected Linna behind them, and said with a straight face: "Master Vic, you can't do this..."

   "It's not up to you to teach me how to do it!" The young Vic angrily scolded.

  The two guards blushed for a while, but they didn't dare to teach the boy in front of them.

Seeing more than a dozen trainee swordsmen blocking the entrance of Orianna's puppet store, pushing and shoving the two trainee swordsmen in the crowd, but no one really dared to rush forward to make a rescue. Linna, who was blocked at the store entrance, stepped forward Stepping out, she pushed Vic sharply away, trying to break into the crowd of apprentice swordsmen and pull her two companions out.

  Nedra followed closely behind, but the two girls were powerless in the face of this group of trainee swordsmen who were stronger than themselves.

The other three female companions stood aside and didn't dare to do anything at all. Seeing that she couldn't rush into the crowd, Linna quickly chased the young Vic, pointed to his face, and said to him in the most stern tone: "Vic, you'd better Let them go quickly! Otherwise, I will let someone do it."

  The two guards who were closely following Linna also took off the shields on their backs, stood up from Linna, and put pressure on Vic.

After all, this group of apprentice swordsmen are only thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys. Facing the guards who are already adults, they still feel oppressive. For a while, the group of apprentice swordsmen retreated one after another, and the two apprentice knights panicked. Escape from the siege of the crowd.

   It’s just that the young Vic refused to suffer, saying, ‘Shaking people, right! '

He picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it down hard. There was a sharp sound, and the neighing of war horses was heard in the distance, and there was a sound of horseshoes. He galloped past in front of him and rushed directly to the side of young Vic.

  The five ancient horses and the strong armored knights on the horses suddenly escalated this small incident that was just jealousy.
