Dragon and knight Ji gl

There was a sound of "ba da", which was clearly audible.

Lev's eyes widened suddenly, and she turned her face to look at Natia Vida, who blinked innocently and leaned on her shoulder obediently, as if nothing had happened.This made Lev start to suspect that he was? Wasn't he? He had an illusion.That's all in private, Natia Vida shouldn't suddenly do something strange in front of others.

Must be? An illusion.

With a stern face, Leif said to Elena seriously: "Where did we just talk?"

"When you talk about it, you can't escape." Natia Vida took off the small cloth bag from Lai Fu's waist, hooked it with her little finger, and swayed it in front of Lai Fu's eyes a few times, "Miss Knight must lead by example."

The little cloth pocket was dangling in the air, as if it might fall down at any moment.Between two layers of fabric and a layer of batting, Leif somehow felt the fear of the dragon egg.She stretched out her hand and snatched Xiao Budou from Natia Vida's hand. If it was a moment too late, she would be afraid that the dragon egg would not be able to help but jump up.

Elena raised her head, just in time to see the scene of Natia Vida's secret kiss. To be precise, it was upright and unscrupulous, and she didn't mean to be sneaky or concealed at all, but Leif didn't respond , seems to have become accustomed to it.Her gaze was quickly attracted by the little fish hanging on the small cloth pocket, and her eyes lit up: "Laifu... still keeps it."

"Of course, this is? You gave me a gift," Lev saw Elena's appearance, and became more and more sure that there was indeed an illusion just now, otherwise Elena should have some reactions.However, in broad daylight, he suddenly had the illusion of being kissed by a magic dragon. This incident itself was strange enough.She touched the big-eyed little fish hanging on the cloth pocket, and said, "I like it very much, a gift from Elena."

Natia Vida still twisted her body, leaning her head on Leif's shoulder, and reaching out to hug one of Leif's arms.

"Laifu likes it...I'm so happy." Irena's reddish eyes flickered with a smile, and it took a while before she realized that her space was being squeezed.Irena and Natia Vida looked at each other, their hairs stood on end, and then sat up uncomfortably - she? She actually had a feeling that if she continued to lean on Lev's arms, the next The premonition that the neck will be bitten off by a monster in an instant.

Looking at the cloth bag hung back by Leif, Irena was a little curious. This cloth bag Leif almost never leaves her body, but? In the existing records of Leif Bai, there seems to be no such cloth pocket information, "What's in here?"

"This is... just an ordinary pendant?" As soon as Leff finished speaking, he felt a strong sense of sadness coming from the dragon egg. If? He was so angry that he smashed the roof of the car.

A little girl, even if it's just a little girl's egg, will feel a little unhappy when she is introduced by her mother as a "pendant".

Now it's an egg? Fortunately, it was fooled in front of people. After hatching, it became a little scorched chicken-this is what Leff imagined the appearance of a dragon larva-or turned into a little girl My child, how to explain my daughter's identity and origin to others will become a big problem.Leff thought about this question briefly, and realized that he had considered too far. At present, he does not know how long it will take to hatch. According to the lifespan of the magic dragon, it is possible to hatch for seven to 80 years.

The dragon egg seemed to have sensed Leif's thoughts, knowing that she felt relieved because it couldn't get out of its shell quickly, so it twirled a few times in the cloth pocket to express its dissatisfaction.

"'Pendant' is an item that is hung up. Lev's answer is the same as no answer." Elena said, "Yes? Is it convenient to say it?"

"It's a secret between Miss Knight and me," Natia Vida leaned half on Leif's body, "After all, there are always some secrets between best friends."

Leif was too close to Natia Vida, recalled the illusion just now, and raised the clothes on Tina Ti Ya Vida's shoulders with two fingers uncomfortably.Natia Vida glanced at her, but obediently straightened up and sat a finger-width away from her.

"Stingy. If you don't tell me, I still don't want to know. I'm...not? An inquisitive person. If I'm perfunctory, I'll be angry even if it's Leif." After the tears dried up Stretched and stiff, Irena rubbed her face vigorously and looked out through the gap in the carport.

For several months, Irena was extremely bored besides being frightened on the pasture. She could only see beast-headed monsters all day long, or it was boys? Girls? Girls of the same age, so that she ? Later, when I saw the old man shepherding the sheep, my first impression was not ? strange, but ? fresh, similar to the freshness of a person who has lived in the desert for a long time when he suddenly sees the sea.In addition to all kinds of people, other things outside the grass field have also become strange and novel in Elena's eyes because they haven't seen each other for several months.

She greedily leaned close to the small gap in the carport, looking at the scene before her eyes, tents in crowded places, men, women and children, poultry and livestock, dry and whitish grass on the ground, and birds and beasts occasionally scurrying by.

Old Bert may be? For the sake of affordability, he arranged for them large carts capable of transporting goods, which were quite different from the beautifully decorated pony carts that the old lady took when traveling around the suburbs of the city.A carriage shed was built with planks and bundled hay on it, forming a small warehouse, with seats piled up inside and covered with old cloths. The car body shook violently.

The four people in the carriage were silent. I am afraid that if any two of them are locked together, there will be endless things to talk about, but when the four of them are together, the common topics are really limited.

Leff followed Minnie's example and closed her eyes to rest her mind. She wasn't very afraid of bumps, and after being bumped a few times, she understood the law of the car's shaking.She sat upright and dozed off.

The carriage made a sharp turn, and Natia Vida's body softened, and she let out a fake "Yeah", and fell on Lev's knee.

Lev was confused for a while, raised his hand and touched Natia Vida's head a few times, and when he opened his eyes, he found that her and Natia Vida's positions were reversed.

Natia Vida sat steadily, but Leif fell down and used the former's knee as a cushion.

The old god Minnie closed her eyes on the ground, like a wooden sculpture fixed in the carriage with nails.Irena was still looking out quietly, seeing something interesting, her green eyes didn't blink for a long time, as if she wanted to keep the posture she had maintained for a quarter of an hour.

Lev wanted to get up, but Natia Vida held her down? He refused.The two fought silently for a while, and Natia Vida let her go only when Lev blushed.

"Best friend..." Elena turned her head suddenly, "Is it? Isn't it? As long as you and Leif become best friends, you can have secrets too?"

"Have you been thinking about this?" Leff pulled away Natia Vida's hand stuck to her waist, "I still thought you were looking at the scenery."

Irena stared at Leif for a while again, and seemed to draw some conclusions, she nodded to herself: "I just realized some time ago that when someone who speaks kind words to me and treats me politely , they don't necessarily treat me as "friends", they just "show respect to my identity", once I no longer have the status of heir, I will change my face in a blink of an eye. The so-called best friends should be? Like Lai Like you and Natia Vida."

Lev felt that there was something strange in Elena's tone, but the identity of "best friend" was after all?

"Just like Natia Vida can find Leif, I will also find my best friend." Elena said, "Sleep together, take a bath together, have a lot of physical contact, and can be at any time Kiss everywhere - like you guys did just now - and I'm going to find my best friend who can do that with me."

Natia Vida chuckled, cast a rare non-hostile look at Elena, and commented softly: "The observation is quite meticulous."

Minnie's lips grinned into a half-smile, she turned to Laifu's direction, her drooping eyelids opened two slits, and she cast meaningful gazes.

"Indeed? You don't have to meet such a condition," Lai Fu widened her dull eyes and rubbed her chin with her fingertips. She? Knows that Mai Ni is? I hope that the image of "Lai Fu Bai" can give Yi Lena has some positive influences, at least? Can’t be misleading in the concept of choosing friends, "Friends usually... usually don’t? Get along like this..."

--

On the way, they changed two more lying vehicles. At noon three days later, the capital was in sight, and the convoy stopped for the last rest.

With a bit of luck, Leif got into the carriage where Edwin and Stanley were, and found that the two of them were still not awake.

Before Leif got out of the car, the magician stopped her and asked, "These two kids... will they... be punished severely?"

During the three days on the road, Leif heard about the relationship between the magician and the cousins.Tim Karami was a well-known hunter when he first met the brothers.It's hard to imagine, but? This thin magician was once very strong. When he rescued the pair of waifs from the wolves, his arms were thicker than his current legs.Reunited many years later, the good hunter at that time had injured his leg and was unable to hunt on horseback. Playing tricks for a living; but the pair of waifs had already made a fortune. It is said that they inherited a circus troupe from distant relatives, and there were many talented people under them. master magician.

The magician heard from Edwin that the reason why they came to the Slypat Grassland was to explore the road for the next tour, but they met their benefactor when they were young.The benefactor has changed from an unsmiling hunter to a crappy magician who is popular because of his eloquence. There are too many changes. The only thing in common is that he is still quite serious about what he is doing.The two wanted to repay him. The magician didn't ask for gold coins, but wanted to introduce them to the connoisseurs of the circus so that they could learn some novel tricks.After going back and forth, the magician didn't wait for the circus performance, and didn't see the master magician, but he received a magical cabinet.There are two buttons on the cabinet, which can lock people inside. Just press any button to make people disappear. However, this cabinet is very picky about the conditions of use. People between adults and adults need to press different buttons according to the different family backgrounds of the participating teenagers.

It was Edwin who proposed to give him the magic cabinet, but Stanley didn't agree at first, and the two brothers had a big fight because of this. At that time, the magician thought that the reason for the quarrel was ?Because this cabinet is too precious and rare, but now it seems that Stanley may have other concerns.

"If you don't operate according to the requirements, the cabinet will be destroyed." Edwin said, "If you tell the secret of the cabinet, people who have participated in the game will be injured." Such a warning sounds a little bit Child's play, not believable, but? Edwin said with certainty that the magician was counting on this cabinet to be his ultimate trick. Naturally, he didn't want the cabinet to fail, nor did he want his little audience to be harmed by participating in the performance.After learning that the child's disappearance was related to this cabinet, he still dared not tell the secret of the cabinet.Just like Leif, the magician also had guesses similar to "inside this cabinet? There is an invisible space that can lock people in it", fearing that after the cabinet broke, the children who were "closed in the cabinet" would come back again. I couldn't come out anymore, so I didn't dare to go into this cabinet to try it myself for a while, but kept looking for the whereabouts of Edwin and Stanley.

But shortly after Edwin and Stanley gave him the cabinet, they left without saying goodbye.The magician too? It was only yesterday that I heard the news that the circus had finally arrived in the capital.By this time, the magician still didn't believe that the children's disappearance had something to do with the two brothers. He just thought it was something wrong with the cabinet. Fortunately, the circus came.Since the master magician in the circus is the inventor of the magic cabinet, he must know how to repair it, even if he doesn't operate it according to the requirements. The magician hastily got into the cabinet, and then fell into the situation now.

Although this explanation sounded rather unreliable with the tone of a magician's performance, Natia Vida told Leif that he was not lying.

"Punishment... It's hard to say, I don't have much research on the law. And these two don't seem to be from the Slypat Grassland. Are they sentenced according to the laws of their birthplace, or? The rules on the prairie, or are they left to the priests to deal with, and there is no conclusion yet." Laifu's pure black eyeballs rolled a few times, and she put down the hand holding the car curtain, and simply walked away from the car curtain. Jumping out of the car, his cold eyes fell on the magician's face, "Speaking of which, what kind of crime do you think they committed?" "

"The reason why they catch these children is to train them to be jugglers... No, these children are a bit old for learning acrobatics. Could it be that they can't become animal trainers?" During the few days on the road, Leff didn't let the magician know, but the magician couldn't help telling Leff everything he knew. At first, he mainly explained the relationship between himself and the brothers, the origin of the cabinet, and He didn't know in advance, and tried to find out what kind of punishment he would receive, but Lev was always noncommittal.After the magician's freedom of movement was no longer under control, he worried about what would happen to Edwin and Stanley? Brothers, but? He didn't even know why they committed this crime. The two brothers wouldn't wake up, the kids didn't know the truth, and the rest of the monsters, the old lady, and the amazingly beautiful girl all exuded a smell similar to the beast that bit off his leg. The smell of danger, besides asking Leif, the magician can only make up random information based on the little information he already knows.

"Oh." Leif said, "Then why would you commit the crime of abduction just to recruit a few animal trainers, and choose conspicuous noble children?"

"Those twelve monsters, I guess they are? Warcraft, but they are not? Warcraft that do a lot of damage, so they can be used for performances. Although it is rare for circuses to use monsters for performances, I have heard of them. Warcraft can understand It is much easier than training tigers and lions to make them obey instructions when people talk, and the appearance is also exciting enough. But it also needs a trainer who is familiar with them, which may be quite dangerous, so I can’t find anyone who is willing to cooperate with the performance The child, so I had to find a way to abduct it... As for why only noble children..." The magician paused for a while, looking at the girl in front of him who he hoped he would give? A reasonable explanation, obviously at the beginning? He wanted to find She? Wants an answer, but the result is always that he wants to give her? Answer after the other party's silence, or? Talk about him, or? Say the same thing as if she didn't say it.

It's not so much that he's snooping on news from Leif, but it's that...she's letting him find a reassuring explanation for this matter.But he's quite happy to talk to her from time to time. This little girl is not very old, but she always gives him a sense of stability and stability, as if as long as she's around, everything will be fine.

"It doesn't matter if the kidnappers are the children of the nobles or the children of the common people, so many people have been victimized, no matter what the law is, I'm afraid they will all die." The magician lowered his head in frustration, and then put on the A red pompom, staring at the pompom at the end of the nose, two black eyes shrank together comically.

Leif said: "I hope they can recruit the mastermind behind the scenes." It is best to recruit in front of them.

"If they can give important information, is there any hope of saving their lives?" The magician took off the pompom from his nose and looked at Leif.As for Stanley and Edwin, even though he and those two brothers had only been together for more than ten days in total, the magician couldn't just regard them as a couple of strangers who met each other on a few occasions.Seems like yesterday they were...the two little orphans whose lives were hanging by a thread, was he who pushed them from the side of death to the side of life, suddenly became a circus master with a lot of money, and then? "If they had grown up to be good, dependable lads, and even achieved something, of course I couldn't help boasting, 'Look, they wouldn't be here otherwise, thanks to me'; but they Why not do evil, even if? No one said it, and I always thought, 'It would have been better to just sit by and do nothing'."

"You mean? Saving a life is as much a responsibility as destroying a life." Leif said, "But even if? There is a chance to regret it, I'm afraid the choice? Will not change."

--

After lunch, start again.

Leff felt a little bored, so he got out of the car, let the handlebars go to the car behind, and put the car on his own at the forefront of the team.

The drivers behind were chatting, saying that they would get the fare soon, and then this one talked about going to a certain restaurant in Kyoto to have a good meal, and the other said that he wanted to buy fashionable accessories for the family members.The children also poked their heads out. Among them, those from the capital city were pointing in the direction of home, and the children from other counties also showed their expectations. They will be contacted by the case officials and will then be sent back to their hometown.

In stark contrast to the laughter of the children were the last three cars.There were two unconscious prisoners in one of the cars. Leff wondered if they would say the right words to the right people at the right time. The feeling of being out of control was really uncomfortable.The other two vehicles were half-human, half-beast. Although they covered their faces when they stopped to rest on the road, they were still as out of place as a ladle of water thrown into an oil tank. It was inevitable that people would criticize them Pointing, so? In the past three days, I have become more and more silent.Even for Leif, getting the fief through the Templars is a sure thing, but it will take some time. During this time, it is very difficult for the half-human and half-beast, and Leif is worried about what happens between them and humans. Accidental conflict.Promising something in advance that you haven't got yet, especially? She?

"Why is Miss Knight so stern?" Natia Vida got out of the car at some point, sat next to Leif, and naturally took the whip from the latter, "You seem to be very anxious. "

Seeing Natia Vida, I felt uncomfortable again? It strengthened a bit.

Leif thought to herself, she? Is? A passionate hero who saves another world, plus a promise that urgently needs to be fulfilled, and then involved in the bloody plot of being forced to marry after interracial laying eggs, these three How could she not be anxious?

"No, on the contrary, I'm so happy that the mission is over and I got a windfall." Laif forcefully grinned.After all, it doesn't matter whether it's her stressful promise or the egg she got by accident, since it's all her own responsibility, there's really no need to let a - to use another world's term - just born? The dragon came for her? Worry about it.Just as the egg incubation period is related to the lifespan of the species, the time required for postpartum conditioning is also related to the lifespan. It may take dozens or hundreds of years for the magic dragon to be adjusted.Leif didn't think of this at first, but once she thought about it, she felt more and more that she had a huge responsibility to Natia Vida.

"How about a dishonest knight? Will be picked up by the dragon as a bride." Natia Vida imitated Minnie's tone of frightening children with witch stories.

"Did the dragon reproduce in this way?" Leif looked at Natia Vida in surprise.

"Little fool." Natia Vida rubbed the girl's head lovingly, and sighed, "Miss Knight is? A child who will be deceived by strange legends. It's so easy to believe someone else's casually made-up words , was abducted casually.”

Leff realized that he had been teased by an overly obvious joke, and made a fool of himself, so he defended in a low voice: "It's rare? I heard you take the initiative to talk about the dragon. I can't tell the truth from the fake. How can I?" Say yes? Stupid?"

"Hmm." Natia Vida was silent for a while, she didn't know what to think of, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Is Miss Knight actually interested in the past of the dragon?"

The car entered the area of ​​the royal capital. A maid and a red-robed priest were sitting in an inn to rest. Seeing the carriage driven by Leif and Natia Vida, the two exchanged a few words. , got up and went to the side of the driveway.

The whip has not fallen since it was pinched in Natia Vida's hand, but? The black horse on this car showed a little anxiety because of Natia Vida's approach.For some dangerous signals, animals are much more sensitive than humans. Once they feel such signals, humans will hesitate for a moment out of reason, but animals will immediately react with their limbs.Even though Natia Vida had restrained her breath well enough, the dark horse still tensed its muscles, as if it was stabbed in the butt by an arrow, and ran quickly, but it didn't dare to cause any damage. Therefore, the bumpy running is quite stable, and when it stops, it has already drawn a certain distance from the vehicle behind it.

The maid was the one who received Leif before. She looked behind Leif and found that there was indeed only one carriage, and there was no more? Even if one came, and the missing children of the king? No matter what, it was impossible to fit it in a carriage, so I couldn't help showing disappointment.Even the maid has heard about this legendary knight girl. It is said that she is invincible and never defeated. It seems that the rumors may not be true.

Leif jumped out of the car and followed the handmaid's line of sight to look back, with some surprise on her face, she? She just kept talking to Natia Vida, but Natia Vida didn't remind her? She? She didn't notice that the car behind didn't catch up, but the place where she rested last time was not far from the capital, and the next car should catch up in a short time. She looked at the maid and said, "Two The mastermind and 56 other children were in the car behind, and I arrived first to give you the good news."

"56?" the maid asked in surprise.

"If you count Elena, it's 57." Leif patted the wheel.

A tight ball suddenly formed at one place on the curtain of the car.

"But? There are only ten cases of disappearance recorded in the royal capital... Oh, high priest, have you found the missing children from other counties at once?" Seeing Laif nodded calmly, the maid again Surprised and delighted, "You really deserve to be Leif Bai, I shouldn't underestimate you. I think your reputation will spread far and wide on the Slypart grassland, and the relatives of those children will set up a monument for you, Hundreds of years later, their descendants will remember your achievements."

Leif nodded.On the road, I heard Elena talk about "Live White"'s countless feats of moving mountains and reclamation before she was ten years old. Although these are slightly exaggerated, how much? Praise with a little factual basis? It's hard to arouse her? shame.

The four forehead lines on the forehead of the red-robed priest with white beard and hair are as deep as a knife, and the light brown eyes faintly show some respect, and gently waved at Leif.

The ranks of priests and knights in the temple are divided by the color of their clothes, and priests in red robes are roughly equivalent to formal knights.However, priests of the same level have slightly higher status and are more respected than knights. This is an unwritten rule.Seeing the priest greet her, Leif hurried up to greet her and bowed slightly to salute.

Priests and knights are just like the civil and military officials in the secular royal family. Leif often sees the priests during the mission, but like now, the other party puts on a look of waiting. She? Looks like a long time or? Rare.Laif put the small cloth pocket around her waist behind her back, covered it with a bag, and looked at Natia Vida worriedly. The latter bent her eyes into two small crescent buds, because she got what she wanted. Attention and very happy look.But it was Natia Vida's laid-back attitude, seemingly unthreatened by anything, that made Leif angry.

Does she know that the magic dragon is the target of the temple?Anyone who knows the true identity of the magic dragon spreads the news? Thousands of knights, as well as genuine holy spell masters, will flock here, even if everyone can only wear the magic dragon away A drop of her blood will grind her to death sooner or later.But this arrogant dragon has no intention of dodging.

Not only did he not dodge, but he also walked towards the priest openly.

While winking at Natia Vida, Leif turned sideways between Natia Vida and the priest.

Natia Vida kept walking, with a bit of coldness and compassion on her expression, she raised her hand and patted Lai Fu on the shoulder, and pushed Lai Fu to the direction of the red-robed priest, as if she was going to The appearance of the younger generation who admired the introduction: "Long time no see, Mr. Hughes."

"Lord Natia Vida's demeanor is still the same as it was back then." The red-robed priest fingered the end of his white beard, and looked at Natia Vida with nostalgia, even though he was already sixty years old At this moment, his expression is the same as that of a young student who is looking forward to his teacher's judgment, "I can receive your teachings in my lifetime. I really benefit from it. If I have the opportunity, I will still ask you for advice." The way to cultivate virtue."

Lev's nerves, which were tense because of Natia Vida's reckless approach, relaxed after seeing the reaction of the red-robed priest, but when he thought about it, Natia Vida might be? The priest used the fake identity of the Holy Curse Master, which made it easier for this already not strong lie to be exposed, so he couldn't help but get nervous again.

"Let me guess what are you doing here." Natia Vida had a faint smile on her face, and grabbed Lev's hand that was scratching something on her back.The knight girl wrote "Run" and "Escape" on her back. This was not enough, and she had to write "Danger" next, but the word "Danger" was very long, and it was written in half. She cut it off.Wouldn't it be nice to have pretty fingers doing something else, scratching the back of a vicious dragon would be really dangerous.

"Did you bring my little friend a gift that she was looking forward to so much?" Natia Vida said.

"It can be said that way." The red-robed priest looked at Leif, as if trying to see from her face the reason why she was easily appreciated by many adults.

A black-robed priest rushed over on horseback. After dismounting, he handed a small package to the red-robed priest, and then retreated respectfully behind the red-robed priest.

The package looked ordinary, without any markings to indicate its origin.The red-robed priest opened the package, and inside was a roll of thin sheepskin.On the outside of the sheepskin is a simple map of the whole continent of Deya, including the surrounding sea areas.After the sheepskin scroll was opened, the black characters on the inside and a white brocade bag were revealed.

The red-robed priest handed the brocade bag to Leif, who took it and opened it. Inside was a rectangular gold seal with her name engraved on the back: Laif Bai.

"It's been less than a year since I became a knight? It's nothing more than to accept the assessment of the Templar Knights. It is an unprecedented honor to be granted a fief before the assessment. This is what the lord wants to give Leif "The red-robed priest turned to the back of the parchment and pointed to the sea to the east of the Deya Continent, an island facing the land across the strait. This map of the Deya Continent is only two adult humans. The size of palms together, this island occupies half the area of ​​a fingernail on the map, which is larger than the land of many small countries. "It's a whole."
