Freya took a step forward. She was wearing the silver-plated armor of a Knight of the Imperial Army. The golden edges of the armor reflected a hazy halo under the moonlight in the forest. After she got off her horse, her dark red Knight's cloak hung on the ground. There were two silver tassels on the side of the cloak that represented her military rank. It seemed that she was the leader of this group of Knights. She paused and looked at the manor that was about to turn into ruins. She identified herself and said, "We are the Knight of Her Royal Highness. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, no, it's nothing." The young Count also recognized the identity of these Knights. He did not want to complicate matters, so he quickly shook his head and replied.
This made the Knight girl frown. After all, she was no longer the ignorant country girl of the past. The future Goddess of War raised her head and looked suspiciously at Count Yanbao and his party. The moonlight was moving above the clouds, and at this moment, it just so happened to penetrate the hole in the roof and sprinkle a cold silver light on the broken stairs, reflecting their figures. Freya could not help but be startled. She was surprised that there was such a beautiful and cute boy, but her sword-like eyebrows immediately furrowed. The two people behind Dilferi had caught her attention. No matter how she looked at them, they looked very suspicious.
Brando suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head. This girl from the countryside of Bucce had become a lot more mature after studying at the Knight's Academy for half a year. Her suspicious gaze gave him the illusion that he had been exposed.
He knew that things were not going well. If he was called out at this time, he would really be done for. Freya did not know what they were doing. Kidnapping a noble was punishable by death. Of course, according to the words of the Shire, if his lord was to be hanged, the noose around his neck would probably be tied more than ten times. But after all, Brando did not want his plan to fail.
"My lord, do you think Miss Freya recognized us?" The Shire could not help but break out in a cold sweat and carefully asked through telepathy.
Brando cursed the jinx in his heart. At this time, Count Yanbao finally reacted. The handsome young man from the North did not seem to want the Knight of the Royal Family to stay here any longer. Dilferi quickly found an excuse and said, "Madam, please don't worry. It's just that one of my subordinates had a little accident when he was experimenting with magic. I'll call someone to deal with it immediately. Please excuse me."
As soon as he said that, Brando and The Shire both let out a long sigh.
Most nobles had one or two adepts as their retainers. This was nothing strange. However, Freya still felt that this young noble was not telling the truth. She raised her head and looked at Brando and The Shire again, muttering in her heart, "Strange guys." During this period of time, Maynild had crammed her with a bunch of knowledge about nobles. Although she didn't remember most of it, she at least knew that the nobles more or less had their own secrets. She understood that she couldn't stay here and be an annoying person.
In fact, she originally came over after hearing the explosion to see if there were any emergencies. Since the other party said that they didn't need their help, she thought about it and prepared to leave.
However, at this time, the guards who had just been sent back to the gate by Dilferi were escorted back. Brando looked up and suddenly cried out. It turned out that there was another team of Knights at the gate of the manor. The style of their armor was similar to Freya's, but there were a few more tassels on their cloaks. These were the Knights of the Royal Family. These people were much more difficult to deal with than the Knight Academy students. Brando immediately lowered his head.
"They should be the direct officers of this group of students. But I don't know which one of the Knight Captains is by the princess' side at this time. Is it Deng Deng or Deuss?" Brando lowered his head and sorted out his thoughts. It was impossible for the students to act alone. There must be a Knight Captains patrolling with these young people. Now, it seemed that Freya was just a vanguard. The names of the two Knight Captains flashed through his mind. If he remembered correctly, the Knight Captains by the side of the half Fairy Princess at this time of the year should be one of the two.
Deng Deng and Deuss were not famous NPCs in The Amber Sword, but they used to be supporters of the Royal Family. Brando also took on their missions. If he remembered correctly, the strength of these two people was only at the pinnacle of Silver. They were not even the top figures in the Royal Faction.
He lowered his head and secretly guessed, but he did not expect that his usually accurate prediction would miss this time. The Knights quickly came to the front. The leader of the Knight spoke with a female voice, "What happened?"
His voice was low and calm, and his tone was filled with unquestionable seriousness. When Brendel heard this voice, it was as if he was struck by lightning from the sky. His whole body froze. He looked up as if he had seen a ghost, just in time to see the female knight's calm and indifferent expression.
This voice … Who is this woman?
He saw the golden tassel on the side of Maynild's cloak. It was the Captain of the Knight. However, Brando could swear on his honor as a veteran player who had experienced almost all the changes in Erouine's history. From the Year of Blooming to the Year of the Sword, there was not a single female in the Royal Knight's ranks. Not to mention the Royal Knight rank, there were almost no females above the rank of Grand Knight.
However, what really surprised him was the female knight's voice. There was no way he had heard it wrongly. Her voice was so clear even in his dreams. At that moment, he almost thought that he had returned to more than ten years ago. His senior sister was standing in front of all of them, leading them with her sword. He closed his eyes, and it was as if time had turned back. That indifferent, calm, and warm face appeared in front of him again. Her smile was so warm that it made one's heart feel at peace.
He almost blurted out that familiar name, but he held himself back. Maynild was born in Seifer. She inherited the snow-white skin of the people of Seifer. Her long black hair was like an obsidian against her fair skin. She was born to be a stunning beauty. She was known as the Cold Beauty among the Knight.
But from Brando's point of view, even though this female Knight had a unique temperament that was similar to his senior, they were not the same person.
He could not help but take a deep breath. His heart was filled with uncertainty. But in the end, he returned to his original question. Who is this woman? Brando was certain that he did not remember wrongly. Unless history had changed, there would not be a female Knight in the Royal Faction. Even though he knew that history would change sooner or later because of him, the 'Butterfly', but he did not expect the change to be reflected in such a small detail.
It did not make any sense at all.
He heard Freya call the female Knight Maynild. Brando swore that he had never heard of such a name before. Even though it was impossible for him to know the background of all the nobles and socialites in Erouine, Brando was confident that he would not miss out on some well-known NPCs. The fact that she was able to become a Knight Captain at such a young age meant that she was not an ordinary person. But unfortunately, Brando could not think of such a person even after racking his brain.
There were two possibilities in front of him. The first possibility was that Maynild was just an alias, and there might be a famous person behind this name that he knew. However, Brando could not connect the female Knight in front of him with the famous people in his memory. This woman seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Then there was the second possibility. History might really have changed because of his arrival, and this change might not only affect Aouine's history after his arrival, but even the history before his arrival might have changed as well. This change was completely unpredictable. In other words, if this possibility existed, Brando would not have been surprised when he found out that the princess was actually a cute boy.
Brando frowned deeply as he stared at Maynild, who had suddenly appeared. At this time, the female Knight had already turned her head sideways to listen to Freya's words. She raised her head, and as if she had noticed Brando's gaze, she looked in his direction. The female Knight had a pair of deep black eyes, and her eyelids reflected a faint silver glow. Her gaze met Brando's, and both of them were slightly startled. Brando was not sure if the female Knight had noticed him, because Maynild quickly turned her head away as if nothing had happened. She did not even intend to dismount from her horse. She simply greeted Dilferi on the horse. The Yanbao family had never had any contact with Erouine's circle of nobles, so it seemed that the Royal Faction did not have any plans to attack this ancient family. Maynild's etiquette was meticulous, but that was all. Brando saw her looking at Dilferi strangely twice in a row, but in the end, she did not say anything and quickly left with the Knight.
"What did she notice?" Brando stared in that direction and thought.
When the female Knight walked to the gate of the manor, she turned her head back for the first time. Her glance from afar was immediately caught by Brando. This confirmed his previous feeling. Both of them seemed to feel that something was wrong with each other. At this time, Brando had already thrown away his previous messy thoughts. He suddenly felt a little worried. Did this woman see through their identities? Obviously, she did not listen to Dilferi's words earlier.
This is a difficult character to deal with. He let out a sigh of relief, but he still thought that no matter what, she would not be able to guess his identity. Disguising himself as an envoy of a noble to participate in a meeting that would decide the future of the kingdom. Perhaps no one in this world would think of such a bold thing, except for him.
But similar to Brando's guess, when Maynild turned around in the thick twilight outside the gate of the manor, the only thing that puzzled her was Brando's strange look. Her strength was not prominent in the Knight Regiment. She was famous for her swordsmanship. Most people only knew that she was a close friend of the princess and the number one swordsman among the princess's left and right attendants. However, Maynild had already reached the early stage of Gold. Naturally, she felt Brando's gaze.
She lowered her head. Freya, who was beside her, immediately noticed the confusion in her heart. She could not help but ask, "What's wrong, Knight Commander? You also noticed those two suspicious fellows? " It seemed that the young girl had been holding a grudge against Brando and The Shire. Especially after leaving the manor, she felt that the two people were more and more familiar, but she could not think of Brando at the moment.
Come to think of it, how could Brando appear here? Freya subconsciously came to this conclusion.
"Hmm?" Maynild looked at the young girl who was recently selected as a Reserve Knight. She was puzzled and asked, "Two?"
"Yes, two. Senior, weren't you looking over there just now?" Freya asked, "I always felt that they were familiar. I was wondering if they were fugitives on the wanted list. Unfortunately, I can't remember at the moment. Look at their sneaky appearance. When I was still in Bucce, I often saw these guys crossing the border. "
She was talking about the fugitives and fugitives. Madara was a paradise for these people.
"Yes." However, Maynild only responded. "Forget it. It's better to have less trouble."
Freya looked at her female commander. She obviously did not want to talk about it anymore. She could only sigh and keep quiet.
…
(Author's Note: Sigh, after two sad weeks, I can finally get back to work. I went out to rest for two weeks. After two long trips, my body has somewhat recovered, but it doesn't seem to be completely recovered.
Another thing is that I have finalized the release of the traditional version of the book with the Taiwanese side. It is said to be in July. In short, you don't have to worry about the book being out of print. Well, you can expect the problem of rushing the manuscript.
Finally, today is May 14th. There are still eight hours before the gates of hell open again after ten years. Of course, I have to go to the hospital first tomorrow before I can come back to fight with Big Pineapple. Comrades, I hope the doctor will not ask for leave tomorrow … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
