Dragon and knight Ji gl

On the right side of the banquet hall, separated by two square pillars, is a place specially arranged for the female envoys and guardian knights around the princess.There is a variety of rich food and drinks on the table, which is no different from the food in the banquet hall, except that the shape of the tableware is different.

The knights all looked at their princesses, as if they were trying to predict the probability of her becoming a prince or concubine by observing the performance of the princesses.After all, the future of the princesses is closely tied to the honor the knights receive in this mission.If the princess is chosen by the prince to be the concubine, then in the future, as a knight who once guarded the queen of Nati Woods, she will surely gain more convenience when traveling between countries.

Prince Tenny's bride must emerge from among the fifty... 51 princesses.The incidental glory brought to the knight by that lucky prince and concubine must also appear in the Sword and Blood Rose Knights.These companions who get along day and night have increased their fighting spirit a little more due to competition.

After hearing the voice of Lance talking to the new female knight, the rest of the knights looked at each other, and stepped forward to intervene.

"Lance, don't you say it? Big talk. In the end, who will say it? Maybe!"

"According to the rumors, this demonic bird is very evil. It will seduce everyone who sees it. Even if it is caught by its eyes, it will lose its fighting spirit. What do you think? Such a demonic bird Bird, playing alone? Can you fight alone? Can you pass it?"

"Hey, it's not too late for you to figure out the situation first." Lance tilted his mouth and smiled mischievously: "There is only one colorful feather on the head of the Fire Skylark, and the brooch you make can only There is one, and it can only be dedicated to one princess... The most important thing is that there can only be one princess. In the past, it was fine to do team missions, but now? What if? Let's unite and kill this magic bird Well, maybe the bird bone and the bird meat can be divided? Clearly, but? How should the feather be divided... Could it be possible to fight a duel afterward?"

Another knight said: "Are you Captain Hilton? Don't you know the news? Don't think that he will give you this colorful feather because he is spoiling you."

Lance folded his hands on his chest, held his head high and said, "I don't want him to let him go. Fair? Fair competition. Hilton is old and his body is failing. It's time to abdicate. I think? This time may be an extreme Good opportunity."

Hilton, who was guarding the door and talking to several officials, seemed to sense something and cast a glance over from a distance.

Lance tightened his grip and turned his face toward the wall.

"I will definitely pass on your words to the old and useless Captain Hilton? But? Don't forget that there is a new knight girl." Another knight said, "Lance, the bruise on your waist is now ?Not yet?—Now? The knight girl is still here? How dare you speak so boldly? Do you still want to be crushed to the ground again? "

"Yes, for that feather. Now that I know it, I'm bound to get it too," said Leif. "Bring that feather, to adorn my princess— My ambition will not be any weaker than yours."

"But? Your little princess, does she dare to assign you this task?" Lance Road turned to Leif, "Everyone knows that her family background is not good, and even the security money for entering the city is ? Someone else paid for it. I don't even know if her home country is qualified to award you a medal."

"Besides, you need to know that the Fire Skylark is easy to arouse people's emotions. Women are emotional animals. If they enter the illusion of the Fire Cloud Beast, they will print what you most desire in the light of the fire." Things, if you get stuck in it and can't get out, you will lose your life—you still think about going back to pick up a needle and thread to sew a new dress for your princess, maybe this success rate Even bigger."

Leif stared at Lance for a while, with a pair of pure black eyes that couldn't be lowered. Just when Lance thought she was going to fight him with force, the brown-haired female knight just said softly. He said: "Thank you." Then he took a wine glass filled with boiled water and walked towards the female envoy standing beside him.

Lance was behind her, puzzled.Did he hear wrong?Where is it? Thank him for what?

Leif gave a slight "tsk".

In the Lerilla mansion, the direction and speed of information transmission also have different levels. Naturally, Leif is? thanking Lance for giving her a huge amount of information.The news about the Fire Skylark was obviously revealed to them by the nobles of Nati Woods. Perhaps they wanted to take advantage of this grand event and the hands of the Knights to remove the scourge in the city and sell it well in front of His Highness the Prince.At the same time, this news can be used to please the future prince and concubine, the princess who is about to become the new queen—obviously, this Fire Skylark Feather will fall into the hands of a powerful princess.It's really a good deal to please both sides.

It's the first time for Leff to know about the Fire Skylark, and the other knights seem to have known it for a long time, so Leff can't help but want to sigh that it's... too...to be beside Princess Boris Calm down.

What happened after she moved into the mansion was something that Laifu did not expect: Xiao Xiao, who caused the trouble, was as keen as the nobles with the most political sense in Nati Woods.The three most watched princesses experienced assassination, theft, poisoning and other incidents almost every day, and passed out at an average frequency of three times a day, which made the knights around them very busy. There are quite a few meritorious deeds accumulated—this should be what the officials said when arranging the tasks, and the accidents that might happen during these two months.

But Leif, who is next to Princess Boris, who has no sense of existence, also has no sense of existence. The only thing she needs to do with a machete every day is to kill those poor children in her room. Rats, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, etc. will die.This has some benefits, for example, it has exercised her aim, and Princess Boris? sleeps more peacefully at night. Princess Boris, who sleeps very well, has become more rosy recently. Make it look glamorous.

And the knight girl who is free and lacks physical labor has memorized several chapters of the book "The Record of the Radiant Knights of the Twelve Temples (Volume Eight)" in the past few days.But the more she reads, the more fiery her fighting heart belongs to the knight

The female envoy covered her mouth and stood in the corner, asking pitifully and softly, "Miss Knight, can I speak now?"

When Lance and the other knights came over just now, Leif noticed that their eyes on the female envoy were somewhat explicit.When those full-blooded formal knights saw the beautiful female envoy, their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

After all, the female envoy is from the same country as Princess Boris, so she is shy and shy.In front of those big and thick knights, the weak female envoy is like a little rabbit trembling in the mouth of a tiger.

Leif's protective heart was aroused at once, and he stepped forward, blocked behind the female envoy, cut off all eyes, then turned his head sideways and said to the female envoy: "This is... between the knights." Don't get involved. Hide in the bushes... Hide aside, be quiet, don't say anything."

So? The female envoy shut her mouth obediently and shrank into a corner.

Leif said, "Of course. I'm sorry, I lost my mind."

Hearing what Leif said, the female envoy put down her hand covering her mouth and said worriedly: "Miss Knight, why did you agree to kill that fire lark? How dangerous it is, I I was trying to stop you..."

In the resplendent banquet hall, there was a staggering of wine and chips until midnight, when nobles and princesses left the venue one after another.

There was a mess of cups and plates in the hall, and on the long dining table more than ten meters long, the silver tableware and glasses were either upside down or crooked.The half-eaten fruit plate, the roasted beef bones with meat, and the unfinished desserts were all dumped into the huge slop bucket by the cleaning palace staff at this moment.

The night was a little chilly.The rainy season has not stopped, and the night wind drizzled with drizzle hit him like a small ice pick.The air is filled with the fragrance of green plants and micro-fermentation. In the wide courtyard outside the banquet hall, small light purple platycodon flowers are squeezed out from the cracks in the stones on the ground, each supporting a small swollen star-shaped head. It swayed in the night wind, as if avoiding raindrops.

When Princess Boris came out, the female envoy put the thin cloak she had prepared on her bare shoulders outside: "Princess, are you okay?"

Boris shook her head, and turned her gray eyes to the banquet hall, which was gradually closing its doors.Apparently, she passed by Prince Tenny just now, but the other party didn't notice her at all, which made Boris very regretful.

"It's a pity that I couldn't talk to the prince?"

The brown-haired knight stood in front of Boris, saluted her, and said: "Princess, please assign me a task."

"Live." Princess Boris looked at her in confusion, not knowing why Lev suddenly asked for a job: "What task?"

The brown-haired knight then told the princess about the fire skylark.Although she is not? I really believe that there is such a bird feather that makes people fall in love in this world, but? If you kill that magic bird, at least the prince can pay attention to Princess Boris?The poor little princess doesn't have any sense of existence now, at least she has to see the prince to have any hope.

"It can make the person you like fall in love willingly." Boris blinked, as if a little moved, looked at the knight girl with brown hair and black eyes, held her wrist, and helped her up , "But?, Leif, this is? A magic bird, it's too dangerous. And since it can exist in? Nati Woods country? It hasn't been hunted down for so long, it must be extremely ferocious."

Leif said: "I don't think I'm necessarily going to lose."

"But?..." Boris frowned and thought for a while, her gray eyes looked at the black eyes of the brown-haired knight, "Well, Lev, I know what you mean. But? You don't have to do this for me , I paid the security money for me at the beginning, and now? I want to kill the demon bird for me... I really? Yes? There is nothing I can give you..."

"Since the day you became your knight, your wish is? My wish. Your joys and sorrows are? My joys and sorrows. Your happiness is? The best reward for me, I need other things Is there a reward?" Leif said seriously, "Your heart is for Prince Tenni, if I can't do anything for you, then I'm too incompetent. Please order me."

In a blink of an eye, it has been seven days since Leif came to Tim City in Nati Woods.As usual, the Knights will have a meeting every week. The content is to summarize what they have done in the past week and plan what to do in the next week.

The same place, the same eighteen tall and straight Doric columns, the same dark carpet, and the same high platform in front of the hall.And on the high platform facing the door directly in front of the meeting room, it was no longer the officials of Nati Woods, but the Knight Commander Hilton.After your last meeting, the safety of the princesses in the mansion has been entrusted to the Knights.

Hilton has long? A mess of brown hair that can't be combed smoothly, and it is short on the top of the head, like a male? Lion.The brown eyes of the same color as the hair were deeply sunken into the eye sockets, looking very deep. At this moment, they were staring at the crowd of people filing in at the entrance of the meeting hall.

The knights temporarily bid farewell to the princesses they protected, and came to the meeting hall during the two-hour lunch break.Because the leader of the Knights came to the high platform, the positions of the rest of the knights were moved up according to their previous strength rankings in the regiment. After Leif stood in the last gap, they became two neatly. , A square matrix with five rows and five columns that is left-right symmetrical.

Because it was just a weekly meeting within the regiment, so everyone didn't put on the bulky dresses, and all attended in casual clothes.But it was all serious - at least it seemed so at the beginning of the meeting.

"Everyone is here, cough." Looking at the neat and symmetrical line in front of him, Hilton showed a trace of satisfaction on his face, rubbed his red nose, and sneezed, "Very well, everyone, come here. Report on what you did this week?

So? Starting from Lance, the knights took a step forward one after another, telling about the tasks they had completed.For example, what treasure was stolen from the princess they were guarding, and it was finally found after some hard work. For example, a stranger wanted to assassinate the princess, and after some hard work, the princess was rescued? coming.And how many times the princess fainted and so on.

When it was finally Lev's turn, she had nothing to say?After all, she still didn't have the nerve to take killing a few bugs with a knife today as a task.

Hilton seemed to see the indescribable loss and embarrassment on the brown-haired knight's face, so he said, "This is a good thing. The princess was not frightened. This is more important than making any achievements." So much more important. Y'all remember this. Boys like you, who've been so? The Lord has given you so many rewards, now you are very satisfied, aren't you?"

Standing at the forefront of the team, Lance curled his lips for not knowing why he was called.

"How many times have I told you to take precautions before they happen. The hearts of noble princesses are...very fragile. Once damaged, it is difficult to repair. How dare you make them faint so many times?" , don't you feel? Ashamed?"

The knights bowed their heads, looking sincerely repentant.But? Occasionally, a few flashing eyes, or? It shows that they don't agree with what Hilton said.

"The next topic. As a knight order, the sword and the blood rose can last for a hundred years. The members of the past generations have changed several times? But the knight order still hasn't disbanded, just? Relying on a spirit to maintain us ——That is? The spirit of unity, friendship, and harmony." Hilton said, turning over a page of the booklet in his hand, and then glanced at Lance again, "I heard? You have told new members many times Picking quarrels and provoking trouble, using improper words, and even expressly hinting at a duel many times."

Lance was called out for the second time, and he stood up straight to show his presence: "Yes."

"Although Leff is just? our temporary member, but? as long as she's in? our group? for a day, you have to treat her as your sister——Lance, please stay after the meeting." Hilton Said, "Okay, the next thing, many people know about the Fire Skylark? I decided this way. The whole team will set off together. The time is? Tomorrow..."

Lance said seriously: "But? Commander? At that time, we won't give in just because you are? Commander?"

"You guys, where did the news about the fire lark come from, the nobles?" Hilton flipped through the pamphlet in his hand, "These nobles said it so convincingly, but...they Have you really explored the lair of the fire lark yourself? If? The fire lark can really kill you little guys with a few swords, why now? You still stay in your lair with peace of mind. "

Hilton coughed, his expression? Very? Stern: "I heard? Some of you are even ready to explore the nest alone. So reckless, it's simply... Death in vain. You died in the mouth of the Fire Skylark It doesn’t matter, but what about the glory of the knights and the safety of the princess?”

"Prince Tenni knew the news, and sent someone to tell me about the Fire Skylark. To kill the Fire Skylark, you have to go through two checkpoints. The first checkpoint requires at least a hundred people. Otherwise, you can only fight against the phantom of Fire Skylark. After reaching the second floor, due to the well-known ability of Fire Skylark, at least two people must form a team to be successful."

All the knights looked at each other.These people are? Former teammates, but also? Competitors.Not to mention? The first floor needs a hundred people, even if only 50 people are needed, they will not form a team with the surrounding knights at this moment.Fortunately, the princesses they serve all have attendants who are not weak, so the problem of forming a team is easy to solve.

Leif was in trouble.The two attendants brought by Boris, one is an old coachman with only one tooth left in his mouth, and the other is Wen? Book.

the next day.The abandoned official's house in the western suburbs of Tim City?

In front of everyone was a charred garden. Although it was a long time ago, the appearance of that time could be vaguely seen.This is the former location of King Natimz's Palace. It was originally a magnificent palace, but it was destroyed by a fire a hundred years ago.

Although the shell of the abandoned palace is still there, the inside has been burnt empty.At that time, none of the members of the royal family in the palace survived, which plunged the mighty Nati Woods into chaos almost instantly, not to mention that a demon bird was born in the too strange fire, and even more so. Yes? Let the whole country panic.

Fortunately, at the beginning there was a prince who was left in the country, and he quickly gathered people's hearts. After calming down the internal and external troubles, he rebuilt the palace.

No one has dared to approach the location where this palace of death is located. It is said that you can hear the cry of innocent souls in the middle of the night.And the magic bird that was born in the fire added a bit of terror.

Afterwards, the scope of King Tim's city continued to expand toward the east, and the land where the abandoned palace was located in the west gradually became barren.Recently, the cry of this fire lark is particularly shrill, and it seems to have a curse sound.Many people suspect that the old king's condition is related to the cry of this magic bird.This kind of speculation is naturally unfounded. People around the old king and medical officials all know that the old king's illness was caused by overwork and injuries on the battlefield, but the official explanation is still that the people couldn't bear it. A lot of thoughts on this matter.

On this day, people gathered in front of the ruined palace.

Prince Tenny's convoy has arrived.The slaying of the devil bird was obviously more interesting to him than the banquet, so the prince arrived early.

Due to the arrival of the beloved prince, many people gathered at the scene.

Immediately following the prince's convoy was the Knights led by Hilton.Hilton held a huge banner in his hand. The bright red banner painted a mighty sword and a delicate rose branch. The two intersected into a cross, surrounded by a ring, engraved with the eight spirits of the knight " Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul".

Behind Hilton were fifty knights on tall horses, as well as their comrades-in-arms who were about to embark on a dangerous journey with them.

When Hilton waved down the flag in his hand, the knights behind him got off their horses neatly.

The people all raised their heads to see those young and mighty faces.But the two in the last row, although they are dressed as men, are clearly two girls.

Leif finally had to let the female envoy go with her, this is because of the wholehearted recommendation of Princess Polis.

The little princess said that although the female envoy who grew up with her is very afraid of cockroaches and other things, but her father is a holy curse master who slays demons and demons. She has been deeply influenced by her since childhood. , will become Miss Knight's help.

Doesn't Leif listen? I believe it, but? I had no choice but to bring her along. Before I entered the abandoned palace, I said to the female envoy: "If you encounter any danger, hide behind me."
