This is a team record of me and my PC. The data and calculation process have been deleted. There are some background about the history of Amber and the world. You can take a look if you're interested. But everything is based on the original book (which means it may involve the deleted parts).
Because it happened in the First Era, 380 (Year of Spring Dawn) in Erouine. So I'll delete some parts that involve spoilers. Overall, it's a supplement to the main story world.

The Storytelling Rabbit set the channel title as: Prologue: Daneel's Great Thief
22: 40 — — — — —
It was a day in March (Month of Recovery). Within Erouine, the cold of Ampere Seale in the north had yet to dissipate.
But to the east of Fort Kurkel, near Lake Manoweir, the sun was already shining brightly. The forest was already filled with carriages going north and south.
In the Mondotin Bar near Lake Autumn, a girl sat in the middle of the brightly lit hall. She had long hair that shone like pure gold. Her blue eyes were like the ocean, giving people a sense of familiarity at first glance.
But she was wearing a set of silver knight's armor, sitting upright, and there was a Kirrlutzian emblem near the collar of the breastplate, proving that the girl was at least a knight from Kirrlutz who had traveled here.
Her sword lay on the table, and the scabbard was embellished with the most expensive mithril. The spear hanging on the warhorse outside — it was actually a unicorn — had already caused a stir in the vicinity. Many people came to watch.
In front of her was a white porcelain teacup filled with tea with cream and honey. There was also a delicate snack. Such a snack would sell for several gold coins in the vicinity. It was hard for the bar owner to get it for her.
Thank goodness, for the sake of the money.
Elise didn't come out for an excursion because of some noble young masters or young ladies, or for a trip under the guise of a study trip. On the contrary, she came out for a great 'reason' to punish evil and avenge her sister.
Let me add, she ran away from home.
But the name of the scoundrel slipped his mind, and he forgot where he lived. But it was forgivable. After all, it was a few years ago.
Anyway, after leaving Ampere Seale — it was said that I stayed there for a month, reluctant to leave the noble's private room in the luxury hotel — I suddenly remembered that the villain seemed to have some connection with the Highland Knight.
So they turned back from Pedalszoon, and came to Kurkel's Castle by way of Magitam. Stayed by the lake for another month before continuing on the road.
But after a lot of hardships, I finally reached the vicinity of Erdek.
There's still a week's journey — —
If I don't encounter anything more interesting on the way.
Unfortunately, the young lady had a natural love for the good and the evil. When they passed through the Manowell area, they heard that there was an evil force in the vicinity — a bandit group with an unknown name.
Anyway, you followed this bandit group and came to this village in Mundodin.
Today, I lost the lead for a while, that's why I came to the bar. The bar here is so dirty. There's a thick layer of dust on the table.
Your mission?
"Yes."
"This kind of place is really messy," Ye Zichen said. Home is still the best. But I can't let the bad guy go … Ugh, anyway, it's all that bad guy's fault! "
Elise clenched her fists and said seriously, "Don't worry.
"So, that what-so-and-so is you over there … Yes, you seem to be called 'boss', right? You really haven't heard about that gang of bandits? "
Bad guys are indeed good tools to shirk responsibility. But your actions immediately made a few mercenaries near you quickly move away from you, as if they were afraid that you'd mistake them for a bad guy and kill them with your sword.
The fat boss ran over with sweat all over his head. "My … My lord, no, my … Miss … No, this … Miss, how could I! How could I? "
He stammered his reply that when had a country bumpkin like him ever seen a great man from Kirrlutz.
Although he heard that the princess in the east had taught Cruz a lesson a few years ago, most of it was just a legend.
"This … How about this, do … Do you want me to help you ask?"
"Well, go and come back quickly."
Elise said matter-of-factly.
You saw the fat boss roll away like a ball.
Do you want to do anything else during this period of time?
Elise looked at the dirty bar, frowned slightly, and went to the door to see Yaya.
As soon as you walked out of the door, you saw that the outside was surrounded by three layers of people. They were all farmers from the countryside, wearing the traditional clothes of the farmers in the southern mountains of Erouine. You've only seen it in books about human geography before, but now the legend has turned into reality.
The crowd made a buzzing sound, and then they all moved aside to make a path for him.
You've seen Her Majesty the Silver Queen's appearance in the capital. At that time, the crowd was probably like this. You still remember it vividly.
Then you saw your unicorn. She looked at you with some resentment, as if you shouldn't have put her in the stable.
Elise ignored the crowd, walked in front of Yaya, patted her head, and then led her around the belt to relax a little.
"No problem, because Yaya is very beautiful, so it's normal to get attention! Get used to it! "
"But they actually fed me grass!" he said.
"It's grass!"
The unicorn complained in a soft woman's voice, "Who wants to eat that kind of thing!"
"I'm not a horse!"
Sounded like a little girl throwing a tantrum.
In fact, she was a unicorn that had not yet reached adulthood.
"Hey? They actually fed you grass? How can grass be eaten! What a prank! "
"Yes!"
So you complained and wandered around the surrounding countryside, and spent about half an hour to return to the bar. It has to be said that the scenery near Manowell is not bad.
— — Of course, it can't compare to the Empire!
The round boss has been waiting for you for a long time, sweating profusely.
If you hadn't left your sword in the shop, I'm afraid he would have thought that you ran away after ordering a few gold coins worth of food.
"Ah, miss … … miss, you, you're back!"
He said to you, wiping his perspiration.
"So, how is it, has there been any inquiry?"
"I … … I inquired from the adventurers nearby, and there seems to be such a gang of thieves nearby. Just last week, a caravan was … … robbed by them!"
"Oh … … no, no, it was stolen."
"It's not plundering anymore."
The fat boss was a little tongue-tied.
"When the caravan stopped at our place, they found that the goods were missing when they spent the night."
"I … I think I've heard of such a thing."
He looked at you and said.
"Hey? In that case, doesn't it mean that the bad guys are in the village? "
"No, no, no," the boss hurriedly waved his hand. "How can it be? There are so few people in the village. I know every one of them. They can't be thieves!"
"That is to say, the bad guys sneaked in at night?"
"Big … … probably."
"Is that so … … I understand! In short, it's good to know the clues! "
Elise casually took out a gold coin and placed it on the table. Then, she left the bar with her weapons. Go to the garrison? Go over there and ask about the situation.
You left the bar under the boss's dumbfounded gaze.
The garrison of Mondotin's garrison was actually a house by the lakeside woodland, on the edge of the town.
You came here under the guidance of the villagers.
You walked over and observed the lonely house carefully. The door of the house was open. Inside was a single room. There was a bed against the wall. The garrison uniform and spare shoes were casually thrown beside the bed.
Then, there was a handmade desk by the window at the side.
The desk was piled high with maps.
And the wooden plate for eating, with the remains of cold food on it, and the flies fluttering about it.
A coat hung casually on a chair that was pushed aside.
But there was no one in the house.
Your move?
"Well, it's unhygienic. As a Knight, one must watch one's appearance, or the Lord will lose face. Don't you understand that?"
Elise obviously did not want to go in. She decided to wait outside for a while and see.
You waited a while. Suddenly there was a rustling sound of footsteps from the woods beside you.
Looking back, you saw a young man in a waistcoat, carrying a sword, and sweating all over, coming out of the wood.
He looked as if he had just finished his sword practice.
"Oh."
He was stunned when he saw you.
"Oh, there's a guest."
"May I ask who you are?"
He asked, scratching his head.
"Elise is looking for the bad man. Anyway, the fat one said the bad man would come to the village at night. Do you know anything about the bad man? "
The young man froze for a moment, as if he was trying to decipher your words.
"Erm … Can you put it in a more simple way?"
"Well, anyway, the caravans, in the village, were stolen. The boss said he knew all the people in the village. So the bad man was from outside! "
"Oh, you mean that one."
"Since that's the case, if you're on guard duty, you must know about the bad guys, right?"
The young man passed you as if no one else was there. He went to the lake, picked up a pail of cold water, and splashed it all over.
Then he shook his head.
"That's not wrong!"
"But I'm going to resign soon," he said, "But I'm going to quit soon.
Elise took a small step back and stood a little farther away from him.
"I'm going to be an adventurer!" he said with a smile.
"That's why I don't care what's going on in the village."
He scratched his head.
"Well? What about the people in the village then? Are you going to run away from protecting them? "
"Ugh …"
"In any case, they'll send someone else."
"To each his own, ain't he? Some people are born for this position, and I'm born for something else."
"Well, that's it. Just don't want to do anything. Surely an adventurer can't be a good man without willpower! If he had a little sense of responsibility, he'd at least make sure everyone was safe before he thought about his own business. "
"Wrong, wrong, not like that!" the young man hastened to correct him. "Forget it, but who are you really? A Knight sent by above to inspect? "
He looked you up and down curiously, as if only now noticing your appearance.
"Ah, what a pretty Miss Knight."
He couldn't help wiping his cheek.
"Elise's looking for the bad man. Anyway, tell Elise about the bad man."
"Oh, oh, I see!" He suddenly reacted. "You're a student of the Basta Knight Academy, aren't you? Experience or learning? Heh heh, I think a little girl like you would be better off doing something like helping others find kittens on trees. "
"Even if you're not here, as long as the bad man is defeated, everyone will be safe before the new guard arrives!"
"Ugh …"
He seemed to seriously consider this proposal.
"Well, that's not wrong."
"But the other party is a proper bandit group. Can a little girl like you do it?"
"Elise is of course not a problem. Because my sister said that Elise is very powerful. And Yaya is also here, although master still said that she's far from it … "
He thought for a moment, not understanding your words. He scratched the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself, "It seems good to do something big before leaving … but nothing can be decided easily."
"However, do you only have one guard on your side? If you don't have enough people, how will you protect everyone? There seems to be a little more people here, right? "
"I say, that has nothing to do with you. Okay, one person is enough for this place."
"Elise, are you saying that you alone don't feel like you're enough to protect everyone?"
Elise sized up the other party and judged his strength.
You think this guy doesn't seem to have any strength at all. Although other than your teacher Veronica, you don't think anyone is that good.
The young man replied unhappily, "How is it not enough? In comparison, you should pay more attention to your own safety. You clearly look like a rich young lady, don't come out and wander around."
"Barely. Then I'll just follow behind Elise."
"Wait, don't make a decision on your own. I didn't agree!"
"Hmph, how can I let the bad guy who bullied my sister be free outside!"
"So you can't even follow behind? Really … forget it, tell Elise the place, Elise can go by herself."
"It's not like that." The young man was about to enter the house, but stopped when he heard you say that. "I say, do you know that this is actually a very dangerous thing? Besides, I won't tell you. It's not my style to put an ignorant beautiful lady in danger."
After saying that, he walked out again.
"Forget it."
"You really want to go?"
"Of course."
He looked you up and down.
"Danger is danger, but if you run away because of danger, a petty thief who only dares to steal the property of good people, then you shouldn't have chosen to be a Knight in the first place."
"How about this, I'll use one hand to fight with you once." The young man thought. "Seeing that you're wearing a Knight's outfit, it shouldn't be a problem. If you can survive two rounds of my attacks, I'll take you with me. How about it?"
"But don't lose to Elise."
The young man obviously didn't take your words seriously. He picked up a wooden sword.
"You go first," he said with a smile.
Elise unsheathed her rapier and searched for a suitable place to fight.
"Are we going to fight here? Got it. "
He took the starting stance of Erouine's military swordsmanship.
Elise raised her rapier and made a standard Knight's salute, taking the usual starting stance taught by her master.
"You still have a chance to give up. Elise will take this seriously. "
Elise pointed at her opponent and said.
"Hurry up, I haven't had breakfast yet, Miss Knight."
Elise took a big stride and closed in on her opponent. She tried to stab him with her rapier.
The young man blocked her attack with a casual block.
"Hey, you have some strength. You're not an ordinary flower vase. You're worthy of being a Knight's student. "
He obviously misunderstood something.
Then he took a step forward, the rapier in his hand slanted.
A slash came at your shoulder.
Elise blocked the opponent's attack with her shield.
"Oh, you're pretty good."
"It's your turn."
He took a step back, holding his rapier with both hands in a defensive stance.
"Then, there's no need to test!"
Elise stabbed again with her rapier.
Elise cleverly hid her intentions. The rapier stabbed out from under the shield. The young man was obviously surprised. He took a step back and was hit in the wrist.
With a clang, the wooden rapier fell to the ground.
"Hiss, that's amazing."
The young man held his wrist and looked at her curiously.
"How about that? You can go protect everyone now, right?"
Elise looked at the other's injury.
"You really are a Knight's student. You live up to your reputation. If that's the case, I'm a little tempted to stay. After all, the guards have the opportunity to be recommended into the academy. "
The young man nodded. "All right, then."
"But you'll have to come with me to investigate first. We can't act so rashly."
"Eh? Investigate? That's fine. Intelligence before a battle is also very important. "
As he spoke, he went into the room, put on the guard's uniform, and put on his overcoat. Then he picked up the scabbard hanging on the wall, buckled on his belt, put on his helmet, and put on his boots. When he came out, his whole person was renewed, and he looked a little valiant.
"Ha, I forgot to introduce myself." The young man closed the door, then turned to you and said, "I'm Freyzer. And you, Miss Knight?"
"Elise Meredith."
"That's hard to remember."
"I'll just call you Elise," she said with a smile.
"I'll let you call Elise by her name. Be grateful."
"Thank you my ass."
As he spoke, he led out a mottled horse from the back of the room. Then he looked at you and asked:
"Do you have a horse? You're a Knight. Don't tell me you don't have a horse?"
"I don't want to walk to the village with you. You don't want to ride with me, do you? I don't mind. "
Elise took out a small flute and blew it.
Yael trotted over at once, complaining about why you didn't come to play with her for so long.
"It doesn't matter, Yaya. I'll punish the bad guys later. With the sword of justice, I'll sweep away those cruel people who bully the weak!"
Elise skillfully mounted her 'horse' and pointed her sword in front of her as she spoke.
"Hmm, sisters of one heart, their sharpness can cut through gold!" The unicorn hummed happily in reply.
Freyze's eyes were glued to the screen.
He looked at you. "Are all the sergeants of your Royal Knight Regiment so exaggerated?"
"Are you the daughter of some great nobleman? Let me guess. I heard that Duke Seifer's daughter is about your age. Could you be some princess? "
That being said, the young man nimbly mounted his horse.
"I'm not some Seifer."
"That's true."
With such words, you walked into the village together.
The young man seemed to have some prestige here, and soon asked for the information he wanted.
You were at the crossroads of the village.
After he confirmed the information, he turned around and said to you, "Ah, ah, now there's a place."
"Want to hear it?" he said, looking pleased with himself.
"Say it quickly. Of course."
"I've asked around. There's a caravan that's going to stay here tonight. They seem to have come from … Well … "Freyzer slapped his forehead." Forget it, I forgot. Anyway, that's what happened. If the bandit group is still nearby, they'll definitely come back to steal again. If they've already left, we'll go home and find our mothers. What do you think? "
"I'll reluctantly accompany Miss Knight to wait in the wilderness for a night. I won't lose out anyway."
"That's fine. Those bad guys will definitely appear."
"So be it, then."
He looked at the sky.
"Well, it's still early. Why don't I treat you to dinner? Our specialty here is trout. "
Elise shook her head.
"Elise will take care of her own dinner."
"Aiya, he's that good?" Then why don't you treat me? "
"Because my sister said I can't have dinner with anyone casually. The drillmaster seems to have said something similar?"
The young man was obviously more interested in the proposal.
"No problem. Can't you fight until you're full?"
"Good! It's nice to be a rich lady! "
"Miss Knight, do you think I'm qualified to marry you?" he asked at once.
"Eh? If that's the case, Elise feels that Dad won't agree no matter what. "
"Then we can only forget about it."
Frezzie shrugged his shoulders.
So dinner was a big dinner of trout at a fisherman's house recommended by the young man, which was said to be the offspring of the "golden" trout of the lake. Anyway, it cost ten gold pieces.
But it tasted pretty good. You saw that fellow Frezzie go back with the fisherman to settle the bill after dinner. They say he saved you a lot of money.
To make you feel that this person is somewhat reliable.
But you always felt that the fellow seemed to be very happy after dinner.
You came to the caravan.
After explaining the purpose of his visit and proving his identity, Ye Zichen asked.
The other side, of course, was very glad to accept your help. After all, it was a pleasure to get the help of the local garrison when you were out on a business trip.
Dusk was coming on quickly.
You hid with Frezzie in a thicket near the caravan. You stared nervously in the direction of the caravan, as if a thief would appear in the next moment.
But the young man was next to you with his hands on his pillow, biting a blade of grass, as if someone would carry the sky even if it fell down.
He looked at the darkening sky through the gaps between the canopy of the forest. Stars began to appear in the sky.
"Ah ah … that … Miss Elise?"
"Miss Knight?"
[00:22]“？”
He turned back to look at you.
"It's still early now. No matter how stupid the thief is, he won't appear at this time."
"Why don't I tell you a story?"
Elise looked at him doubtfully, as if questioning why he would do something that might disturb the thief.
"Well … that's fine, but keep your voice down."
"Yes, yes."
"What kind of story do you like to hear?"
He asked in a low voice.
Elise waved to Yaya, indicating that she should come over and listen.
"Just tell the story you want to tell."
"Hmm, then have you seen an undead before? Those skeletons. "
Elise thought for a moment.
(I've seen him in magic class.)
"I've seen him in class."
"That's good. You know, to the east of our country is a kingdom of the undead."
"Three years ago, those skeletons invaded our kingdom. You should know about this. You're a northerner? Then you must not know the situation at that time. "
"Well, I know this. That's the greatest evil on earth, Madara."
Elise shook her head, then continued to listen.
"Yes, yes, I'll tell you, I personally killed my way out of the encirclement of the undead. Do you believe it? "
"How can I say this? Anything is possible. Like my sister, she has experienced something even more terrible, but she still appeared in front of Elise safely. "
"Well said, then I'll tell you in detail! Ah … Why don't the others believe it … "
So he told you in detail about his escape experience at that time.
But no matter how you listen, you feel that this guy was lucky and didn't run into a skeleton at all.
It is said that his most glorious achievement was to kill a necromancer, but that necromancer clearly encountered a rock collapse in an instant before he made his move, and then was crushed to death.
But in a sense, this guy's luck was indeed extraordinary.
By the time he had finished the last part of the story, the sky was completely dark.
You were about to refute him, when suddenly Frezzie raised a finger and shook it in front of you.
At the same time, the unicorn also offered you something.
Elise covered her mouth with both hands and softened her movements.
Then you saw the young man pick up his coat with one hand, turn over and climb up, and look in the direction of the caravan.
Elise tried hard to look in the direction of the caravan.
Under the starlight, you saw a short shadow clumsily approach the caravan, and then quickly enter the caravan surrounded by carriages.
Behind it, there was a second, third, and fourth figure.
They also sneaked in one by one.
"Good!" Frezzie's eyes lit up. "Let's go, we'll catch them!"
Elise pointed at Yaya, and asked with her eyes, "Can I ride her?"
"Of course not, hey, you have some common sense."
He looked at you, and shook his head.
"You have to take off your armor too."
"You don't want to alert the enemy, do you?"
"Quick, I'll go first and wait for you over there."
With that, you saw him immediately and carefully climb out of the bushes, and crawl in that direction.
"Eh? Anyway, you can't look. "
"I know, hurry up."
Elise took off her armor in a panic.
His voice came from outside the bushes.
It took you a few minutes to take off your armor with difficulty, revealing the Knight's uniform underneath.
Fortunately, this armor was specially made for you by Veronica, and you can wear it alone.
Elise hung the armor on Yaya's body, then carried the sword and shield as she carefully followed Yaya.
You saw that Frezzie was already very close to the caravan in the starlight.
And it was at this moment that you saw a short figure jump out of the caravan.
The fellow looked at you in the moonlight and pointed at you.
"Vermin! Come on! "
You saw that Frezzie was the first to react.
You threw the overcoat in your hand at the short figure.
But it didn't hit her. She nimbly dodged it. You were about sixty feet away from the caravan, and there were thorns all around you.
Elise stepped carefully over the obstacles and hurried towards the caravan.
"Humph! Don't try to fool me with your tricks! "
You heard a self-satisfied, self-satisfied voice.
Then the little figure took out a book and read aloud a passage you couldn't understand.
"Show yourself!"
There was a soft thud.
There was a sudden burst of bright light above your heads.
The dazzling light made you squint your eyes involuntarily.
Then you could see with difficulty.
Beside the caravan stood a little girl with a big white wizard's hat on her head, a staff in her hand, and a white scholar's robe. She looked at you with a smug face.
