McPhee is actually Joey's friend. They are the same age, and they started learning martial arts and swordsmanship at about the same time, and finally entered the Royal Knights as apprentice knights in the same year, and their relationship has always been very good.When Joey decided to travel the country with Serris, McPhee followed his decision and became one of the hundred knights who swore allegiance at the coming-of-age ceremony of Sires.

——Since McPhee appeared here, it is obvious that Prince Sirius and Joey will not be too far away.

Hill was talking to McPhee with a smile on his face, and quietly inquired about his coming.

McPhee didn't hide anything, but just lowered his voice, "Isn't this an earthquake? That person sent us over to check if anyone needs help—by the way, why are you here?"

"I'm the clerk here!" Hill replied solemnly, and then asked in a low voice, "Are you stationed nearby?"

"Yeah." McPhee nodded, "Are you going...to meet?"

Hill hesitated for a moment, looked at the situation around him, finally sighed, and said regretfully, "Today is definitely not going to work."

"It doesn't matter, we don't dare to act casually until the Goddess of the Earth calms down completely, and that one will definitely understand your inconvenience." McPhee shrugged and asked instead, "Is there anything I can do for you? "

"The more food, medicinal materials, and things like that, the more the better." Hill replied.

"We are limited in these things!" McPhee spread his hands helplessly.

The two were talking, and Amir also walked over.Seeing the purple magic robe on his body, McPhee immediately restrained his expression, straightened his body, and gave him a standard knight's salute.

Amir nodded slightly to him in return, then turned to Hill and said, "Can I have a private conversation with this knight? Besides, it seems that you should also appease your people and give them a reassuring explanation. "

"Of course." Hill hurriedly bowed and gave up his seat to Amir, and walked back to the residents of Sofia Town, telling them that the five riders were not bandits, but guards of a nobleman.

However, when he saw McPhee and the others, Hill remembered something that he had neglected. He immediately called William and Jason to his side and asked them to gather the horses in the town and arrange a few people who could ride horses. Go to the surrounding countryside to check the damage.

"Each group of people brings a carriage. If there are any wounded, they will be transported to the town. I will find a way to find food and so on." Hill said, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart. If Sandra didn't take the initiative today Contributing to the Grove family's food reserves, he really doesn't know how to fill everyone's stomachs.Of course, most of the towns are wealthy households, and every family must have reserves, but after all, they are all private property and cannot be used at will.

——It seems that these people should be redistributed into families as soon as possible.

Hill is thinking about it, and Amir and McPhee have walked over together.

"I'm going to visit them," Amir said to Hill.

"Now?" Hill was taken aback.

"Yeah." Amir nodded, and then urged, "Kiki will stay with you first, watch him."

"Don't worry." Hill nodded solemnly.

Without further words, Amir raised his hand and called his driver in black, took off the badge on his magic robe, put it on the collar of his shirt inside, then took off the outer magic robe, and threw it into the driver's hand , and then led a chestnut horse in his carriage, got on the horse with McPhee and the others, and left Sofia Town.

"That magician is really handsome!" When Amir followed McPhee and his horse away, Kiki heard Sandra beside him sigh, and then Sandra continued to ask, " Is he married?"

Kitsch glanced at her, not quite sure she was talking to him.

"You should know each other, right?" Sandora turned her head and looked at Kiki with a clear goal.

"...he has a fiancée." Keech hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Ah, what a pity!" Sandra sighed regretfully, "Sure enough, good men already belong to others."

Keech twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not answer.He still remembered the fiery eyes that this young lady stared at Hill when they had dinner at Grove's house not long ago, but today, she turned her eyes to the older Amir.

——What are the criteria for a woman to choose a man?

Keech thought suspiciously, but it was just a thought.

Sandra didn't continue to strike up a conversation with Kiki, and walked to Hill's side, discussing the next arrangements with him in a serious manner.

After the sky was completely dark, Hill asked William to arrange for the men in the town to take turns at night, and he brought Kiki into their tent—in view of Hill's current status in the town and Kiki's special status, everyone was building a tent. When they were in the tent, they consciously prepared a separate one for them, and Hill did not refuse the privilege.

In times of crisis, he must share weal and woe with everyone in the rain; in times of peace, he also needs to show that he is different.

For the nobility, power and responsibility are complementary and indispensable.Power is the premise of responsibility, and responsibility is the cornerstone of power. No matter which one is missing, nobles will lose the meaning of their existence.

"Would you help me clean my clothes?" Hill's voice immediately showed fatigue when he walked into the tent.

"Take it off, I'll help you clean up first." Kiki also took off his magic robe, and threw it on the wooden bed that was moved out of someone's house.

Hill obediently unbuttoned his clothes and stood naked in front of Kiki.

Keech scrubbed Hill's body with water purification, combed his hair again, and then turned to pack his clothes.

Hill stretched out his hand, hugged him from behind, buried his head on his shoulder, and murmured, "Fortunately, you are by my side."

——I am also very grateful for this.

Keech turned his head and put his cheek against Hill's.

The two leaned on each other quietly. After a while, Hill raised his head and said, "Take a break, you have worked hard today."

Keech shook his head and handed back the cleaned clothes to Hill.

Hill took it in his hand, only put on the shirt and trousers, and then lay on the bed with his arms around Kiki, and joked with a smile: "I can finally share the bed with you openly."

Due to the limited number of tents, everyone had to share beds with others tonight and sleep with all their clothes on.

Keech couldn't laugh, he raised his head, stared into Hill's eyes, and said seriously: "I want to help you a little more."

"You are by my side is the greatest help to me." Hill grabbed his finger and put it on his lips to kiss lightly. "Because you are here, I have the courage, courage, and confidence to face everything."

"Can……"

"I know what you want to do, but please don't do that." Hill kissed Kiki's lips and smiled, "Although we have encountered disasters, we have not fallen into despair, and we don't need miracles to save people's hearts .”

"I can be more careful..."

"No, don't do that." Hill covered Keech's mouth, and said sternly, "I don't assume the role of leader because of kindness, Keech, I am a nobleman, the reason why I do my best Rescuing them is just fulfilling the responsibility of a nobleman—this is my responsibility, not yours."

"But I want to help you."

"You've helped me a lot." Hill kissed Kidge's fingers lightly, "Evidently there wasn't enough medicine, but everyone's injuries didn't get worse, and Mayor Grove survived with a simple bandage. ...I know that all of this is because of your efforts."

"Amir asked me to save the mayor." Kiki frowned, "but the strange thing is, he refused to let him fully recover."

"He's clearing the way for me." Hill smiled slightly, and seeing Keech's puzzled face, he explained, "If Grove dies, someone else will stand up and fight for the position of mayor. I fight for the leadership; if Grove fully recovers, he will take over everything I am in charge of now. From this perspective, Lord Amir has created an opportunity for me to experience, and I must thank him well— —behind you, of course.”

"I don't feel like I've done anything."

"You've already done a lot." Hill raised his hand and caressed Keech's cheek, "This is enough, don't take on more, I never want to see you expose your strength in order to save others, Even if doing this can save 1000 or 1 people, as long as the price of doing so is to sacrifice you, then I would rather send these 1000 or 1 people to hell!"

Kiki looked at Hill blankly. Although Hill's eyes showed a coldness and ferocity that he had never seen before when he said this, but inexplicably, he didn't feel flustered at all. Or hate.

——Compared with Hill, who was usually pleasant to everyone, he preferred the one in front of him who only cared about him.

Keech stretched out his arms, wrapped his arms around Hill's neck, and hugged him tightly.

After going through this whole day of busyness and thrills, neither of them had any desires anymore. They just simply hugged each other, enjoying the tranquility and warmth like a sunny day after the rain.

"Sleep, I'll be busy tomorrow." Hill kissed Kidge on the cheek, and closed his eyes with him.

But before the long night passed, Kiki was awakened by the strange movement around him, opened his eyes, only to find that Hill sat up at some point, holding a short dagger in his hand, looking behind him vigilantly.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice came from there, "Put away your weapons, it's me."

"Amir?" Kiki immediately turned his head and looked behind him.

Amir was standing there, still wearing the clothes he left, dusty and dusty, obviously just rushed back to the town.

"Sorry, Lord Amir." Hill put the dagger back under his pillow, got up and got out of bed.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, I hope this little thing can be as vigilant as you are." Amir said indifferently, "Don't sleep, I have something to tell you."

Keech sat up suspiciously, while Hill put on his shoes and stood beside Amir.

There was no other furniture in the tent except the bed, and Hill couldn't ask Amir to sit down, so he could only stand with him.

Kiki didn't care so much, he just put one leg up, put his arm on his knee, and supported one cheek, waiting for Amir to talk.

"The earthquake didn't just hit Sophia town. According to what I learned from Prince Siris, most of the northwest of the empire, as well as surrounding neighboring countries including Oz, were affected, but which one is the most important?" The seriousness is still unknown." Amir said coldly, "Prince Siris is going to go to Yani City, the capital of Yanila, to preside over the aftermath. I will also go to Yagran County tomorrow morning as planned to complete my task."

"Your task?" Hill couldn't help raising his eyebrows.He wondered why Amir came here suddenly, and it was not without reason.Yagran County is the territory of the Grant family, where the Blue Dragon Legion is located, and Amir's mission is obviously inseparable from the Duke of Grant.

"There is nothing to hide now." Amir said indifferently, "The provinces and counties in the northwest have suffered from long-term harvest failures. Only relying on local income, the Blue Dragon Army has been unable to obtain enough supplies, so they can only ask the imperial capital for help."

"His Majesty the Emperor agreed?"

"He can only agree." Amir said, "However, how to safely transport such a large amount of food to Yagran County is a difficult problem, so your emperor asked for help from the Magic Association and wanted to use the airship of the Magic Association Complete the handling work. But the airship can't take off casually, let alone land anywhere. I came here this time to ensure that the Duke of Grant is well prepared so that the airship can complete the flight smoothly."

As he said that, Amir stared sideways at Kiki, and said coldly, "However, if it wasn't for Kiki, the little bastard, I wouldn't have taken on such a boring task."

Hill couldn't help being taken aback, not knowing what Amir meant.

"Why, don't you know how many big lies this little bastard told before he sneaked out behind our backs?" Amir asked with raised eyebrows.

——Sneak away?

Hill turned his head to look at Kiki in surprise, seeing him lowering his eyelids silently, he immediately understood what Amir said was true.

"I came here just to take him away, but obviously, even I myself can't leave right now." Amir snorted coldly and said meaningfully, "You two stay here honestly, don't Intervene too much, and don't do things beyond your power."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Amir, I will never let Kiki get into danger." Hill promised very sincerely.

Hill always felt that Amir, like his father Angel, had noticed the true relationship between him and Kiki, and he knew Kiki's power very well.In fact, he was sure that when Amir entered the tent, he and Kiki hugged each other, in a way that no ordinary boy would ever have.But Amir clearly saw it, but did not show the slightest surprise or surprise.

——Of course, since Amir doesn't want to expose it, he will never take the initiative to reveal it.

Hill took two steps closer to Kich, and put his arm around Amir's shoulders in front of Amir.
