Dragon and knight Ji gl

After Prince Teni and Princess Boris took the oath and exchanged the tokens under the auspices of the priest, the entire wedding process was more than half completed.

After listening to his son's oath, the long-sick old? King had a string of cloudy tears streaming down his face. He seemed to be opening and closing his mouth to say something, and soon, he was covered with white hair. His head was tilted on the back of the chair, and he soon fell asleep. A little bit of saliva dripped from the corner of his half-open mouth, and then he began to snore.When seeing this disease-ridden old man, people cannot imagine that he was once the king who was known for his diligence in government affairs and militarism—during his tenure, he expanded the territory of the Nati Woods Kingdom to Where our ancestors never went.But now he?has been overwhelmed by aging?and disease.Fortunately, the younger Prince Teni will become an excellent heir. Although he does not have the belligerence of his father's generation, he may become the benevolent lord that the people look forward to more.

Prince Teni gestured to the attendants who were waiting by the side with his eyes.The attendant immediately took out a silk handkerchief, wiped off the dirt on the old king's face, and then gently woke the old king up.The old king yawned and opened his eyes. His eyes were a little dull. It took a while to fully wake up. After he nodded to the priest beside him, he raised his hand Holding a wooden crutch, the other side was supported by an attendant, and soon left the hall.

Prince Teni watched the back of the old king disappear behind the door, and sighed slightly.Then he held hands with Princess Boris, picked up a bottle of wine, and poured it on a tower of wine glasses.The purple-black aged wine exudes a mellow aroma, and soon the bottom of each cup is lightly covered with a layer of liquor.

Then, the couple then cut up a huge roast cow together.The attendants continued to divide the pieces of the roasted beef into smaller pieces, and then the waiters at the banquet distributed the pieces of roasted beef to everyone present in the hands of each small dish.Everyone tasted the roast beef sliced ​​by Prince Teni and Princess Polis, as if they had received the blessings of the distinguished couple.

Prince Tenny and Princess Boris raised their wine glasses and toasted the guests present.The guests raised their wine glasses one after another, and paid respects to Prince Teni and the princess.Even the knights who were about to complete the final part of their mission, tasked with protecting Prince Tenny in the middle of the night, had a drink.At this time, the music played by the court musicians has also reached its highest pitch.The atmosphere at the wedding banquet reached its climax all of a sudden.

Just before Prince Tenny toasted, Leif took a glass of wine from Lance.As a result, when I drank it, I felt very spicy after taking a sip. After drinking a cup, my face soon turned red.The taste of this wine is rough and the stamina is very strong. It doesn't look like fruit wine prepared for wedding banquets, but rather like some steamed wine prepared in some taverns in King Tim's City for guests with special alcohol addiction.

Distillation technology has not been popularized in this era, and the store should have only steamed it once. However, the concentration of this wine is still much higher than that of ordinary alcohol. If it is an ordinary person, maybe one The cup is drunk.Fortunately, Leff is not a person who can't drink at all, and his consciousness has not been affected after drinking a glass, but his face is very red, and he looks a little scary.

Lance still refused to accept the matter of losing to Laifu that day, so he challenged Laifu several times afterwards, but he did not expect that Laifu would not accept even once.So for a few days, as long as he saw Leif, he would annoy her in a childish way.He had thought that Laif would be so hot that he threw away the wine all at once, but he didn't expect that the latter drank the wine in one sip. Except for a little blush, he acted like a normal person, and he was a little disappointed.

Leif saw Hilton coming, so she explained that Lance gave her the strange wine.Captain Hilton was really angry. After he comforted her, he grabbed Lance by the collar and went to a corner... When Lance came back again, Leif found one of his ears The nose is red, and it should have been taught a good lesson by holding the ear severely.

Several knights around saw this scene, and they knew the cause and effect through whispering.So he cast a different look at Leif.

Some people seem to be saying: "Lance, this kid, just owes a lesson."

"That's how Captain Hilton can control him."

Some people seem to be saying: "It's too scary to secretly file a report just because of this. I won't dare to speak in front of her from now on."

"What does it mean to involve Commander Hilton? It's better to just go out and have a fight."

Leif ignored the attitude of the knights, with a very serious face, holding an empty wine glass in his hand, and looked at Prince Tenny and Princess Boris who were shuttling among the guests, appearing very focused.But she was secretly happy in her heart.

Natia Vida walked over slowly, and suddenly leaned into her ear, and said, "Miss Knight, what's wrong with you, why are you blushing so hard?..."

"Cough..." Leff hurriedly raised the wine glass as if to drink, but forgot that the wine glass was already empty.However, she managed to choke on the air abruptly.

Leif is actually still reeling from Natia Vida's subversive news that girls and girls together can have babies - this is really the first time she knows about it So she walked away from Natia Vida inadvertently, but she didn't expect Natia Vida to follow her like a shadow, and Lev even took a step back from her It looks like one and a half steps forward.

She finally ran to the place where the knights were piled up.In the center and left side of the wedding banquet hall are mainly nobles and foreign guests, while the rest of the knights, envoys, servant girls, etc. stand together in a space vacated on the right side.Naturally, they don't shoulder the mission of diplomacy like the nobles and foreign visitors. Men and women stand together.

The knights and attendants stood on one side, and the maids stood on the other side. Although there was no barrier in between, they were separated by a square pillar in the hall, and the sides were left open. One piece.Leif just walked all the way from the position where the maids were standing to the gathering pile of knights.Since she is both a knight and a woman, there is a reason to go either way.But at this time, Natia Vida would look a bit abrupt if she followed her.

Leif didn't expect that Natia Vida still followed.And after Natia Vida came over, the knights instinctively took a few steps back.

By the time Lev reacted, she had already been pulled to a corner by Natia Vidara.She didn't know why, as soon as she saw Natia Vida, she was instinctively frightened.

Lev didn't want to admit it. When she heard Natia Vida say that girls could have children together, she immediately thought of it: since she came to Natia After the Kingdom of Woods, she almost slept in the same place with the female envoy every night; the female envoy got along very closely with Princess Boris who liked girls and seemed to regard girls liking girls as a A more natural thing than heterosexuality...

She thought of the movement of the female envoy licking her fingers, and the way the female envoy looked at her at certain times...Live always felt that it was commonplace and could embody the beauty of a girl. The matter of the close friendship between the two now seems to be separated by a filter with a layer of strange colors.No matter how you look at it, it's wrong.

"Miss Knight hasn't answered yet, why are you blushing?" Natia Vida said, raised her hand, and wanted to touch Leif's forehead, with a bit of worry on her face, "Could it be that the sun is shining during the day?" There is too much sun, so is it sick?"

"I feel good now." Leff took a step back subconsciously, picked up the wine glass and put it in front of him, "Just now Lance tricked me and brought a high-strength wine...he It seems that you really want to fight with me again, and you have been using strange ways to annoy me these days."

Fortunately, she can avoid the effect of the drink, otherwise it would be too bad if her face turned red now.

Natia Vida leaned over, and then sipped the last drop of wine from the wine glass in Leif's hand.

"Wait, this is..." This is the cup she used just now...

Looking at Natia Vida's red lips wet with wine, Leff felt that his heart seemed to be broken all of a sudden, and the muscles controlling the heartbeat unnaturally accelerated the frequency of contraction and relaxation. Hot blood rushed to the top of his head.She seemed to feel that her scalp was numb and her pores were constricted, as if she was trying to stand up her hair.

Natia Vida licked her lips, looked at the stiff knight girl, and said: "This wine is really strong, no wonder the knight girl is now blushing from the face to the neck. I don't know what the body in the clothes is. Isn't it the same? It's also red."

Obviously this is just a very ordinary sentence, why did she suddenly decipher the bad meaning?Leff swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then turned her head to the side: "It's some distilled wine from a restaurant."

Natia Vida glanced at the knight who was pretending to be calm but his face was so hot that he seemed to be smoking, and smiled with his lips pursed.She looked at the knights beside her, and said to Leif: "It seems that Miss Knight has fully integrated into it, which is completely different from the beginning of the book."

"Yeah." Hearing that Natia Vida changed the subject, Leif breathed a sigh of relief, and said cooperatively, "I didn't actually have much experience in group life before, and everything I did was just a matter of time. Personally. When I first joined the Knights, there were a lot of discomforts. I think they are like people who live in an isolated castle. "The mark of the family, and I am an outsider who broke in suddenly..."

"I still remember that at the first ball, Miss Knight said something like that..." Natia Vida imitated Leif's tone and said, "'I think Princess Polis? The Lord can be a princess—out of confidence in my strength—if the only basis for the selection of the prince and concubine is to let the knights under him fight to the death.'”

"Ah...was my tone really that arrogant?" Leff scratched her head embarrassingly.Didn't you think Natia Vida was right? She remembered this black history so clearly that she almost forgot it herself.

She has lived in this world for 16 years. No matter what the world is like, it is the place where Leif truly exists.However, Leif has to admit that sometimes, she still speaks and acts as a (quasi) game clearer facing a novice level NPC.However, her mentality has changed now.

Leif looked at the knights, "No wonder, if I were Lance, I would definitely be irritated when I heard such arrogant words... At the beginning, I regarded them as competitors that needed to be dealt with. Hands—especially after I knew that I was also in competition with the princesses they were trying to protect. But along the way, they helped me a lot and taught me a lot. I also understand , some things, if I'm the only one, absolutely can't do it..."

Listening to Lev's words, Natia Vida's tone seemed to gradually start to bring a little sentimentality of parting, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Leff added a little white water to her glass, and then looked at Prince Teni.

Prince Teni held the hand of Princess Polis, and introduced his bride to some of the most important nobles in the country, as well as several envoys from big countries.Princess Boris followed beside Prince Tenny, with a dignified and reserved smile on her face, and her every move was polite.It seems that the special etiquette training given by the female officer to her these days has had an effect. Princess Bolis is very comfortable.Leif is finally completely relieved?

Suddenly, Prince Teni didn't stand still, and Princess Bolis reacted immediately, supported his waist, and thought that no one could see him hiding her hand behind him, so she took the opportunity to pinch him. .Leff noticed this fleeting scene, and curled up the corners of his mouth, overjoyed.

At this time, a servant girl came to her side.After getting Leif's attention, the maid pointed to a golden-robed priest sitting in a corner of the high platform.

Lev immediately restrained her smile, and after reviewing her actions just now in her mind, she was glad to find that there should be no inappropriate behavior.So she put down the cup, quickly tidied up her clothes, told Natia Vida that she was going to leave for a while, and then hurriedly walked towards the golden-cloaked priest.

It was only when she walked in that she realized that this golden-cloaked priest was not a complete stranger to her.Because back then in the village of Eide, the person who delivered Lord Deborah's letter to her was the priest in front of him.

"It's actually you. I'm so glad to meet you again." Leif said.

"Very happy to meet you too, little girl." The golden robe priest smiled lightly and nodded slightly, "My lord is also very excited to meet you, but God has decided that you have not yet reached the most suitable match." Seeing the time——she couldn't leave because of something else. So I entrusted you with a letter..."

Leff knew that there was naturally only one possibility for the "adult" in the mouth of the golden-robed priest.So she wanted to be curious about what Lord Deborah's real identity was.However, the center of the temple has always been quite mysterious, and almost none of the priests above the golden robe know their names.One reason is that after reaching a certain level, the number of people decreases, and the probability of appearing on the same occasion is not high, so there is no need to use names to distinguish them; two. It turns out that these adults are extraordinary in the eyes of ordinary people, and people don't use their names when they call them.

Therefore, even if Leif knows the name of that adult, there is no way to deal with her identity.

The priest said, taking out a letter.

The appearance of this letter is similar to that of another letter in Leif's collection.The whole body is light brown, wrapped around a girdle with patterns of ivy leaves, which looks a bit thick.

Leif lowered her head slightly, took the letter with both hands, and because of her first experience, she asked, "When should I open this letter?"

The priest said: "My lord has ordered you to open it after you leave Tim City—you should know that when the Sword and Blood Rose Knights leave Tim City, go out with them at that time .”

"This means that I will go with them on the next journey." Leif asked, "I will go to the next stop with them."

"No, you and the Knights will meet again in the future, but this time, you will perform the task alone." The golden robe priest replied.

Leif squeezed the letter tightly, bowed to the golden-robed priest, and said, "Okay. I will follow your lord's advice."

Natia Vida saw that Lev was a little bit out of his mind when he came back, so she asked: "Did the adult you mentioned earlier give you some advice? And In fact, those suggestions you really don't want to listen to..."

"She asked me to leave the Knights," Leif nodded, looked at the knights standing beside him, and said with a wry smile, "I should have expected it. I will leave sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon It's been a long time since I got involved... I don't know when the next meeting will be..."

Natia Vida said: "However, if you don't want to, Miss Knight, you don't have to follow that lord's advice. You should do what you want to do."

"There are too many things I want to do, but it is completely impossible to do all the things I want to do at the same time." Leif said, "I want to be stronger, I want to go further, Go to a higher place... However, my current experience does not allow me to make the right choice. I can only follow the advice of that lord..."

In fact, the more real reason is: Leff vaguely feels that the function of Master Deborah is similar to the npc that assigns tasks in the game settings, and it is the kind that assigns main tasks. If you don't follow her suggestion, You can't level up.

"Are you familiar with that lord?" Natia Vida's golden eyes deepened, "You don't even know her. Maybe one day, she will let you act like you Something against your principles. At that time, what choice will Miss Knight make?"

"You asked me if I knew her, as if I knew her before." Lev glanced at Natia Vida with some doubts, always feeling that there seemed to be something in her words, and her tone There is dissatisfaction with Lord Deborah in it, which doesn't seem like a word that a sage magician who is close to the temple would say.But this thought was just a turn, and Lev didn't think about it, "If there is such a day, I think I will make the right choice-although I don't think there will be such a thing. one day..."

She is about to part with the Knights, which at the same time reminds Leif that she will soon be separated from Lord Natia Vida.As a result, the embarrassment a few hours ago when the two got along was gradually replaced by reluctance.In these short two months, they fought together, lived together, and worried about the same person together... She had already regarded Natia Vida as someone a friend.

However, Leif knew that this friendship would not last long, and Lord Natia Vida would only be a passer-by in her life after all.The premonition of parting soon made Natia Vida look more cordial in Leif's eyes.

After Laif was full, she sat down on a chair and rested for a while.The same is true for other knights, they are not like those nobles who can sleep well after the banquet.In the second half of the night, there will be a parade. Their appearance is not only an indispensable decoration in the convoy, but also to protect Prince Teny. Although the surrounding defenses are already very tight, they still need to recharge their batteries.

Prince Teni and Princess Boris cannot go through the wedding ceremony for a long time like ordinary folk newlyweds. After entertaining the guests, they can go to enjoy the newlyweds. It's night.As a crown prince, Prince Teni will take his prince and concubine to meet his subjects.

After all the guests were gone, Prince Teni took Princess Boris and boarded the eight-horse float during the day, and then went back to the daytime parade for a while. all over.This added a trace of fatigue to Prince Detney's face, but because it was indeed a day of great joy, this trace of fatigue was quickly replaced by joy.Princess Boris was in great spirits from the beginning to the end. She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and she was eager to tell the world that Prince Teni and his people were hers.

Leif also followed the knights, rode on the horse, and followed the carriage where Prince Turnney and Princess Boris were in. Together with the joyful people, they made noise until dawn.Not only are there no fewer people at night, but there are even more people than during the day.And there are beautiful lights at night, which make the streets beautifully decorated.

Only after the parade is over will Prince Teni and Princess Boris have time to enjoy their newlyweds.And on the third day after the wedding, it was time to reward the knights for their merits.

Leif got another white S-class medal as she wished, and pinned it carefully to her black ribbon.Half of her glory should be attributed to luck, because Princess Bolis, whom she guarded, successfully became a prince and concubine, otherwise, she could only get a few golden medals at most.Captain Hilton also won a white S-class medal. The encirclement and suppression of the Fire Skylark is a team task, and the final victory is naturally mainly due to the leadership of the knight leader.Lance received two golden A-level medals, because the princess Eric he guarded encountered many accidents such as assassination and theft, and in the process of dealing with these small accidents , Accumulated a lot of meritorious service.

The rest of the knights, depending on their performance, either received one A-level gold badge and one black medal, or one gold medal, or different numbers of black medals.

In short, the Knights not only accomplished the task of guarding the safety of the princesses within two months, but also got rid of the Skylark, which was in the heart of the Nati Woods country.So this round of overall rewards will be more than the expected rewards before.

Just after Laif pinned the white medal to the ribbon, a line of glowing blue words appeared in front of her eyes: "The second mission, successfully completed." And she also successfully rose to level 120 out of 20 in total.

After this line of glowing blue words gradually faded, the "backpack button" on the system interface suddenly flickered.Leff used his thoughts to open it, and it turned out that the "Dragon Slaying Manual" had changed. Chapter 2 has been successfully unlocked.

Leif is very curious about what the new move in Chapter 2 is.I still remember that after using the moves from the first chapter, she got quite amazing gains.A hairless dragon felt life-threatening after being rubbed by her tail, so he abandoned a lot of property and fled—this is what it looks like in Leif’s interpretation—this Let her fill up the wealth point instantly.I don't know what reward she will get when she uses the second trick?

But this time Leif was standing at the forefront of the cavalry team, and there were many important people nearby. This occasion was really not suitable for blatantly staring at the air in a daze, so she didn't click on it.She thought to herself, anyway, she hasn't met the magic dragon yet, so even if she learns a new trick, she won't be able to use it, so it's okay to wait.

So, the next day, after Leif and the knights left the city, she didn't remember to look at the contents.

The "business" of Knights of Sword and Blood Rose is quite good.In fact, just before the official start of the mission in Nati Woods this time, a new mission has come to the door, just in time.The knights had no time to rest. They had just finished receiving their medals, and they were about to set off for the next country the next day.Since the mission in Nati Woods rarely involves more than [-] countries, it can be expected that after the princesses return home, they will also bring back the heroic deeds of the knights. After the task is completed, the Knight of Sword and Blood Rose will be in the limelight on the mainland.

That day, Leif got up very early.She first went to the palace to meet Prince Teny and Princess Boris, bid them farewell, then returned to the Laerilla Mansion, rounded up with the knights, and rode together to the gate of the city.

Captain Hilton got down from his horse, called Leif, walked with her to a tree, and asked, "Have you really decided to leave, Laif."

Leif replied, "Yes."

"To tell you the truth, I didn't have a good impression of you at first. I only accepted you as a member of the Knights because of the order of the temple." Captain Hilton rubbed his reddened nose. , "What I was most worried about? That you would do something that would tarnish the reputation of Sword and Blood Rose abroad."

Leif said: "No wonder you were so protective of me before? You always took care of me."

"It's just because I'm afraid you will get into trouble." Captain Hilton smiled, and then suddenly became serious, "But you are much better than I thought, Leif."

Leif said, "Thank you, Commander."

"So I sincerely invite you to become an official member of my knight order." Seeing that Leif refused, Captain Hilton said, "Okay, I know you won't be willing. I just want to say, Sword and Blood Rose will always welcome you back. Your abilities are?good when you're fighting alone, but not when you're in a group—much like Lance the?Kid ——You may be more suitable to be an independent knight. The task reward will be more generous, but this choice also means danger.

"I know that everyone is always aggressive when they are young. They only want more honors and more meritorious deeds. But maybe one day, you will find that your vision of the world suddenly changes. Then In your heart at this time, the most important thing is no longer winning or losing the battle, nor where you can go, but who will accompany you on this journey during this process. "

"I will consider it carefully." Leif nodded.

Head Hilton asked: "So what's your answer?"

Leff was puzzled: "What answer?"

"The most important answer: What are you raising your weapon for?" Captain Hilton stared at Leif.

The latter was obviously racking his brains to think about it, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he stretched his brows occasionally, probably thinking of a point, but he frowned again soon, indicating that she was very concerned about this matter. The answer is not very satisfactory.Finally, after Leff squeezed out a sentence "for the peace of the mainland and the happiness of the people", Hilton smiled and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "This is not your real answer. The real answer is hidden in? In your heart, you just have to discover it. It's not ?brained. Hopefully at the ?next ?meeting—I don't think it will be very late— You have found your reason, and then told me confidently."

Lance was already getting impatient with waiting: "Hilton, what are you doing again? What are you dawdling about? The sun is about to reach the zenith, do you still want to hurry?"

The original serious look on Hilton's face suddenly collapsed, and he yelled back at Lance: "It's coming. Why are you in a hurry?"

Leif said goodbye to the knights briefly. Before leaving, Lance made a unilateral agreement with her. When they meet next time, he will also get a special visual effect for his weapon, and then meet with her She fights again with dignity.Leif watched the figures of the knights go away, then rode on the horse, found a shaded place, and waited for Natia Vida to come over.The female envoy said she would come to see her off.

While she waited, she took out the letter that Lady Deborah had given her.But unexpectedly, she opened it up and saw that the letter had two layers.There is a smaller envelope inside the large envelope.The actual contents of the letter are inside the small envelope.

And there are some words written on the small envelope:

"Laifu, please make sure that when you open the letter, you are the only one around. Because what I'm about to ask you to do involves confidentiality, and if it gets out, it may cause panic. Of course , This also means that the mission is quite dangerous, if you are not willing to take the risk, then please burn this letter. You have seven days to consider, please make your choice carefully."

The exciting task made her a little excited, but Leff didn't rush to read the letter, but put it away carefully.There are many people at the gate of the city, although I don't think that anyone will come to peek at her letter, but one more thing is worse than one less thing.

Just at this time, Natia Vida appeared.She hired a four-wheeled carriage and sent her to the gate of the city.She got off the carriage with a small package for luggage in her hand, and after she saw Leif standing under the tree, she walked towards her with obvious intentions.

Lily was chained to a tree, quietly chewing the mushrooms emerging from the soil under the tree. When Natia Vida appeared, her ears moved, and she took a step back.Flicked his tail in the face of the fallen knight.

Leif raised her head, looked at the woman in white robe who was getting closer to her, and said, "Master Natia Vida, you are here."

"Miss Knight..." Natia Vida took out the small package from behind, blinked and looked at Leif, as if she seemed to be homeless, "Can you take me for a ride?" ?”

"Aren't you staying with Princess Boris?" Leif always felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't tell why.It took her a while to realize that Natia Vida's identity is actually quite different from the other princesses' envoys. She didn't really grow up with the princess. The master grew up with someone who needs to take care of her all the time, but in the short term, is hired to accomplish a specific goal, "OK. But where are you going?"

Lev thought to herself, anyway, Lord Deborah asked her to give an answer within [-] days, so if Lord Natia Vida is not far away, she can indeed take her along.

Natia Vida walked up to her, looked down into her eyes, and said softly, "There is only one place I want to go, and that is beside Miss Knight."

"..." Leif's face burned, but she felt that these words were quite familiar. After thinking about them carefully, she realized that they were words from a knight's quotation she had memorized.She only thought that Natia Vida was taking the opportunity to tease her, so she selectively ignored Natia Vida's joke and said seriously, "As long as it is any place that can be reached within seven days, I can take you there. If it is outside this range, then I can't help you."

The author has something to say:

What will the second dragon slaying style be? ? ?
