Dragon and knight Ji gl

It's hard to tell whether Natia Vida is angry or happy, or maybe it's both. Under the gaze of those amber eyes, the brown-haired knight lost consciousness again.

I thought that the magic dragon just agreed not to confuse her anymore, but who knew it would be so capricious.

When Leff woke up, the starry sky above his head had been replaced by a wooden ceiling, the black bricks and stones beneath him had been replaced by a soft bed, and the silence of the Black Forest had become an inn with poor sound insulation. The characteristic words at mealtime are mixed with the sound of the clinking of cutlery.

"Guest, I'm here to bring you food! Guest!...Guest! It's already noon, are you awake?" The hostess of the inn was at the door? No? A hand holding a dinner plate pushed the door open, and then saw the brown-haired girl who had just jumped off the bed—the latter was stepping on the ground with her bare feet, rubbing her eyes vigorously? Eyes, when she saw? She appeared, she was obviously taken aback, and almost raised the machete.

The grizzled hostess put three berry pies and a steaming bowl of oxtail soup on the table, wiping her white hands on the coarse apron. , smiling courteously at Leif: "Little girl, please try my handicraft, freshly cooked oxtail soup, topped with fresh onions and potatoes."

But he couldn't hide his scrutiny in his eyes. Regardless of the obvious abnormality of the guest's expression, the machete beside the bed was a few inches longer than the biggest bone cutter in the store. It is enough to arouse suspicion.However, the equally mysterious and eccentric woman who was traveling with this guest gave a generous tip before leaving, and stated that this guest only needs to stay for about a day?— —Two days at most? ——then she would leave. After weighing the two, she still left the girl behind.

"If you are not satisfied, there are other things, as long as they are available in the store, I can prepare them for you..." Before the old woman could finish her sentence, she saw that weird little girl with brown hair rushing towards her, His hands looked small, but their strength was astonishing.

"Excuse me, what day is it today?" Leif's tone was very polite. She originally suspected that the old woman in front of her was transformed from a little monster near the Dragon Castle, but she knew it right away. The predecessors were just mortal bodies, so the energy in their hands gradually drained.

"Yes, November [-]th..." the old woman murmured.She began to regret it. The other girl who brought the brown-haired girl here in the middle of the night yesterday looked like she wanted to eat people. She shouldn't be greedy for this little money to accept her.

"It's only been one night..." Leif looked at the skylight outside the house through the window, and it was time for lunch.

She was suddenly stunned by the dragon, and then she was thrown here again.When I thought that I had promised the magic dragon to watch the stars with her until the sunrise, but in the end I hadn't done it. Although it wasn't my responsibility, I couldn't help but feel a little empty in my heart.

After regaining consciousness, seeing the old woman looking at her with a bit of fear in her eyes, almost trembling, Leif immediately let go of her hand, and changed her friendly expression, "Sorry , Auntie, scared? You. Do you know where this place is?"

The old woman told Leif the name of the place here.

"I'm leaving today." Leff touched the money bag, "How much do I need?"

"Your companion has already paid, and gave a lot of extra tips." Seeing that the guest looked fine, the old woman no longer grabbed her hard, and couldn't help but relax.

The girl in front of me seems to have an involuntary power of trust and reassurance—as long as she stays quietly and does not use a knife or a hand, she looks very honest—the old woman will soon wish to have Lai Fu treated her like her seven-year-old granddaughter. Seeing that she was poorly dressed and alone, she couldn't help nagging, "Can you stay for a few more days? At least ten days? You don't need to worry about money. Thing... your horse can also be taken care of, your female companion has explained that the horse grass you use is the best."

"Then..." Leif raised her eyebrows in doubt, "It's so strange that she is so generous..."

After the old lady left, Leff sat down on the edge of the bed, thinking about what happened the night before. After a while, feeling hungry, she stood up gropingly, and put the stuffing The cake was eaten with oxtail soup.

She took out the map, first determined her approximate location at this time, and then estimated the location of the nearest contact point - Leif still remembered that the Sword and Blood Rose Knights wanted to contact her, but if The Knights don't know her location, so it may be difficult to send news to her.

While walking, there was a "jingle" sound, the sound of metal falling on the wooden floor.

Leif followed the sound, picked it up, and it turned out that it was the black medal given to her by Ignaz Kingdom after the completion of the previous mission.Since the content of this task cannot be disclosed to the public, the honor on the surface is only equivalent to completing an ordinary B-level task.Of course, Natia Vida also asked the king to give her more gold sand coins as compensation, but Leif searched around, but couldn't find even a shadow of iron gold sand coins.

While searching, she also found something else.Two thinly stacked letters appeared next to her pillow.If she hadn't searched carefully, she might have completely ignored these two letters.

The one on the top, Leif opened it first to read.

It's a small IOU.

"To the crafty lady knight:

Prepaid hotel fees, carriage fees, tips, etc. total half a jingesha coin, calculated as six cents per month.

Enter Nadiavida Leonard"

"The monthly profit is six cents..." Leif held the small silk cloth, thinking to herself, it really is the style of a magic dragon.

Leif remembered that she once received something similar from Natia Vida.However, on the previous IOU, the monthly interest was only five cents, but now it has become six cents.

However, a monthly interest rate of more than three cents is considered usury.

As for the extra interest, is it an expression of anger at her cunning?

But it is clear that the accounts between her and Natia Vida are not clear: Natia Vida generously gave her so many gems, and solved all the problems involving money that she encountered later. Question; however, during and after each mission, Natia Vida will always steal most of the harvested treasures.

It was clear not long ago that he claimed to give her more treasures, and only a few days later? He began to charge her interest.

——The mind of the magic dragon is really hard to guess.

Putting down the small IOU, and opening the second letter, Leff recognized the handwriting on the silk cloth as Captain Hilton's, and thought: "Could it be that the letter from the captain has already arrived in the hands of the magic dragon? Maybe the task is quite important." Urgent?" Looking carefully, I found that the letter was missing the beginning and the end for some reason, but the rest of the letter had clearly stated the cause, effect, time and place of the mission.

"...Respectfully, the location is the capital of King Walsh in the Elvis country. Please arrive before December [-]th. This is a very important matter. If there is any delay, please write to let us know, and we will find another person for help." .

The following is the reason:

The king of the country passed away a few years ago. He was rescued by a man during his lifetime. He asked him what he wanted and promised to marry a daughter.After the king passed away, the man took the second princess away with his kindness.After marriage, the princess's heart was attached to her younger sister, and she failed to visit her many times.This man seems to have evil skills. After many investigations, he has had many wives, all of whom died? His whereabouts are unknown.Fearing that the two princesses were in danger, the people of the country sent troops to attack each other many times, causing heavy casualties and nothing.The princess and the princess also took personal risks several times, narrowly dying or living, so they turned to the temple for help.

The juniors in the group have disdainful words, but? I often feel that this matter involves far-reaching.Moreover, this country is located in the extreme south of the mainland, and the folk customs are rough and ignorant of God.It is really rare to ask for help from the temple this time. If it happens, it will help the civilization of this place.Therefore, we must take it lightly.Lord Wanwang will help..."

Captain Hilton's letter was carefully written, and there was not a single word that was cumbersome.Judging from the tone of the rest of the letter, it was extremely polite, and it was obvious that it was not addressed to a small member of her family.And perhaps also out of respect for the recipient, the words used are a bit more solemn and formal than usual, mixing many ancient grammars.

Leff thought of the last time we met, Captain Hilton? When he was a knight in the training group, what kind of mouth was like a river, and his tongue was like a lotus flower, but now his tone? Like an old pedant with a book bag , could not help but dumbfounded? Laughed.

But she soon stopped laughing.

"Heart to my younger sister... I have taken risks with my body several times, nearly died? A lifetime..." Leff murmured and repeated these few words, as if his heart was suddenly hit by something.

She blinked vigorously, and as the moisture in her eyes gradually disappeared, the soreness that suddenly appeared in her heart also gradually faded away.She lowered her head, confirmed the time and place again, opened the map again, and planned a shortest route.

——In any case, she must complete this task.

She quickly packed herself up so that she could go out, put on the knife, and then brought Lily back from the stable of the inn, and rode the bay red horse all the way to the south.

The journey is long. If there are no accidents, we can arrive in [-] days at the earliest. If there are some delays on the way, it may take as long as a month.

The south of the continent is close to the Tona Continent and the Sikena Continent. These two continents are full of various monsters, and they often cross the sea to the Deia Continent. Therefore, the closer to the south, the less people live there.This time, the country of Elvis she was going to was the southernmost country in the mainland, and the only big country in the south of the Deya continent.

Its forces can rank among the top five on the continent of Deya, comparable to the Kingdom of Yulinla, the Kingdom of Octavia, the Kingdom of Camille, and the Kingdom of Natiwoods that Leif visited in the second mission. But living in a corner, so little is known about it.

It was almost winter, and the grass and trees had turned yellow and fallen leaves. However, as we headed south, the weather turned warmer, and the grass and trees gradually turned green again. The speed of the horses gradually outpaced the incoming cold wave, and Leif’s clothes became thicker. and thin.

One person and one ride pass through towns and villages, but more of the trip is in the desolate forests and grasslands.The traces of human settlements become sparser the further south you go.

The brown-haired knight, who hadn't found a chance to talk for a few days, stopped in the forest and found an open space for some repairs. She listened to the sparse insects in the forest, and wandered around aimlessly. Looking around, suddenly? He caught sight of two night owls cuddling each other.

Even this kind of ominous creature has a companion who can peck at each other, and she has only one person.

Although, she also briefly had companions.

Laif leaned the knife on his back against a tree stump, walked up to the bay red horse, and stroked the mane on the back of his head: "At the end of the day, only you and I will accompany you."

Lily didn't care about the loneliness on the master's face that was rarely shown in front of others, she just stared intently at the fresh turnips that Leif had just taken out, and opened her mouth to chew.

The cyan juice leaves splashed onto the brown-haired knight's face, mixed with the halazi left on her face by the claret horse as a cousin.

Laif wiped his face hastily, took a few steps back and sat down, took the firewood he had just picked up and started to light the fire.

--

What Lev didn't know was that Natia Vida had the same destination as her, and almost walked on the same road as her, but the footsteps were always faster than hers.

"Why do you keep stepping back to peek at Leif?" The little red girl leaned on Natia Vida's shoulder, and followed Natia Vida's gaze into the forest, only to see the lonely knight girl, who was Bake a piece of dough on the fire, and don't care if the dough is burnt, just settle the meal hastily.

"When I was with me," Natia Vida bit the oily grilled fish in her hands, "it didn't matter? I've never seen her treat me so badly. She didn't eat well, and her hair was messed up." Yes, not even the face? Didn't wash it..."

"Why don't you just show up?" asked the little red girl.

"What do you know, Medra. This is punishment for Miss Knight." Natia Vida said, "She should feel the sadness of not having my days, and thinking of me Sleepless alone."

"But you almost crushed the grilled fish, aren't you punishing yourself?" Madeira looked at the silent and resolute brown-haired knight with his lips tightly pressed against a tree stump holding a knife She closed her eyes and rested her mind, "She started to doze off, maybe? Maybe she slept soundly, but you? You couldn't fall asleep anymore—oh! What are you going to do again suddenly?!"

Natia Vida pinched the back of Madeira's neck with a smile on her face: "If it weren't for the fact that you look a bit similar to Miss Knight, you would think that you would live as long as you are so talkative. ?now?"

"But you...cough...just not being honest!" The little red girl was almost out of breath, "You are obviously worried about Lai Fu, why do you still try to be brave and not go to her?"

"Be quiet," said Natia Vida?

The brown-haired knight girl was already asleep. A branch with leaves fell on her head, but she didn't move at all. She was used to sleeping alone in the deep forest.Then, it seemed that she had a bad dream, she frowned tightly, and hugged the machete tightly in her arms, it seemed that in this world, she only had this small weapon in her hand to rely on.

Remember in Fire Skylark's first level of vision, when everyone else was thinking about honor, treasure and beauty, what Leif saw? It was just some weird food - apparently? A lot of hungry experiences.At that time, Natia Vida only thought that this human knight was so simple-minded? Cute.However, that doesn't seem to be the case.

For some reason, Natia Vida suddenly recalled the rage and gloom aroused by the villain knight when he was in Collier Forest.She has searched all over the first half of the human knight's life, which was as simple as a blank sheet of paper, but she has not yet found the source of these emotions.

"Yeah, I'm really worried." Natia Vida suddenly threw the little red figure to the ground, "So, go to her side."

Madeira turned over on the ground, got up, and patted the dust off her body. When she realized what Natia Vida said? What, she said in surprise and joy: "You said? What?"

"By the way, and this, you also take it with you." Natia Vida said, took out a huge black thing, and put it on Medra's head like a mountain, "Help me Protect her well."

"Is it still useful? Did you tell me?" Medra finally carried the big black thing on her shoulders.

"You take what I gave you, and protect her well, as well as her knife," Natia Vida said.

"I don't understand you," Medra asked. "Why do you do this?"

"If you want a frank answer, I want to ensure her safety." Natia Vida said with a smile, "This way I can wait for her with peace of mind... until she comes to kill me."
