Chapter 251 [Retired Knight]

The breeze and sun rose, and after the spring show, Lou Lan City regained its previous noise.

With its location closer to the border and superior natural surroundings close to the richest Lake Lulan in the northwest, this famous “City of Miracles" in the northwest has gradually replaced the capital of Nurinhang Province, formerly governed by Governor Bohan, and has gradually become the largest border trading centre in the northwest.

Despite previous harassment by the prairies, there are also sieges in which the Northwest Army showcases its prestigious siege. Fortunately, however, when official news came that the Northwest Army had slaughtered the original enemy of the meadow, the Golden Wolf Head, at least one thing was made clear on the face: the Northwest Army did not react.

As long as the news gets out, people in the northwest are relieved.

As for the grasslands… After the last disturbance, the royal court on the grasslands is said to have sent envoys to Didu. A brief peace can be guaranteed, at least until the parties have spoken down.

Dardanelle, the guard chief of Lulan City, strictly followed Dewey's “tight and tight” strategy, and after the withdrawal of the Northwest Army, border trade reopened in towns outside the city. And the battalion's tulip family's cavalry was dispatched out for a lookout. Several gates in Lulan City appear to be poorly guarded, and visitors can still enter and exit the city on the basis of business association certificates, but in the dark, close surveillance of some visitors on the grasslands, especially those dressed as strange, has begun.

Subsequently, the proclamation of the conscription order began to be posted on the bulletin board at the entrance to the city gate.

On such an evening, the billboards were surrounded by bustling crowds, and businessmen dressed from all over the continent in distant trade markets were bargaining loudly. A team of Tulip family soldiers were on tour...

There is such a horse, coming alone from the northeastern road, a middle-aged man on horseback, thin and handsome, although he looked almost forty years ago, holding a rope gently with one hand, his fingers above his palms extremely long, his bones firm, and at first glance a martial arts practitioner. His figure, though slightly thin, was extremely even and firm. Wearing a peculiar robe, this kind of coarse cloth robe is commonly worn by the inhabitants of the North. The thick cloth is cold and dirt resistant. It's just that the man's eyebrows are splendid, but it definitely doesn't look like a normal civilian. Though the horse was also a common horse, he was on horseback, habitually in a straight shape, in the eyes of a veteran, but it was the standard posture of a knight who was used to horseback combat.

What is even stranger is that he was dressed in plain clothes and had a small bag on top of his horse, but without a sword or weapon.

You know, this place in the northwest, the land is poor, the folk style is strong, horse thieves are rampant, and business groups from the north to the south are carrying a large number of armed escorts. It is also common for a place like this to have a hard time fighting without a word. It can be said that walking northwest, but most people who go away, except women and children, wear weapons with them, long swords, horse knives, machetes, etc., are ordinary, occasionally rich, and equipped with leather armor.

And this man, dressed lightly, didn't even carry a short sword, and came all the way to the city gate alone. The guards looked at him and asked, “Where did you come from? ”

“… North. ”

“North? The North is huge! I'm asking you, don't be ambiguous. Where the hell are you from up north? ”

The man smiled slightly, faced the soldier's strict words, not angry, smiled faintly, on a lean and handsome face, with a calm look, slightly spit out a few words in his mouth:

“Frozen forests. ”

As soon as this was said, the soldiers guarding the city were even more suspicious, and an officer next to him frowned and looked at the man: “Frozen forest? I haven't heard of anyone living in that place... are you a mercenary? Looks like you're a fighter too, right? ”

The middle-aged man had good patience and a mild smile: “Once upon a time... but now I'm retired. ”

The officer glanced at him, the man was so small, he had no weapons on him, and at his age, if he was a retired old mercenary, it made sense.

“Listen to your accent, Northwesterners too?” After a brief inspection of the packaging, the officer's tone is also much softer: “Our Duke is recruiting talent. Since you are a martial arts practitioner and we are Northwest people, why don't you go outside the guard house in the city and take a chance. Now the guarding lord is acting on the orders of the Duke. If you have two plans, you may be able to mix meals. It would be much better than if you went home to guard a few skinny fields. ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and glanced at the officer. He thanked him and took the horse into town.

•

Entering the city, the middle-aged man walked slowly on horseback, but looked curiously at the view of Lulan City. The city now has more than 150,000 inhabitants, making it one of the largest in the northwest. The streets are very spacious, interracial businessmen who often drive buses into the city, but there is no congestion on this wide street. Residents of the city are also regarded as residential pleasures. The one-year tax exemption policy announced by Dewey was very popular, with the occasional sighting of one or two squads of soldiers on the streets of the city, as well as other well-ordered ones. Continuous pedestrian communication and a mix of accents led the middle-aged man down the road and forced emotion in his heart.

Leaving home for many years... I didn't expect such a thriving city in the Northwest.

Teacher... Perhaps you are right in giving me advice. This Dewey can really change the northwest, right?

Asked freely about the direction of the Duke of the Passenger. Anyone who was asked about the Duke of the Duke of the Road, mentioned the Duke of the Duke of the Duke of the Duke of the Duke of the Duke of the Road, showed a genuine respect from the heart, and there was a certain awe in the respect. But when it comes to this tulip duke, everyone praises him. It was only this time that the Light God opened his eyes and finally sent a good lord to Dessard province.

Mentioned how the Duke of Tulip was so magnificent that his miracle enriched the land, built a male city within March, raised his people duty-free for one year, and an arrow shot back at the cloud of the Siege Army... The literal spit flew across the sky, describing Dewey as almost unmatched in the sky.

And the middle-aged man asked about the road of the Duke's house, and the others immediately revered him, only to think that he was a related person in the Duke's house, and there was no reluctance to guide the way, and even self-proclaimed courage to lead the way.

In fact, the Duchess of Dewey is not hard to find. The tallest building in the city is the Duke of Dewey, a castle over thirty metres high with a golden tulip flag above the top of the tower.

The middle-aged man rode all the way here, but the street next to the Duke's house was much quieter. Even if pedestrians crossed here, they consciously lightened the noise and dared not make a noise here.

Looking at the guard on the suspension bridge, the middle-aged man smiled, rolled down his horse and was about to walk over, suddenly a group of people laughed.

“Ma'am, don't listen to him. What kind of person are we, Dean? Don't you understand? I'm afraid it's the Northwest Army this time. I see that in this world, only our Dean counts others, who counts as Dean, yet to be born! ”

Another slightly more steady voice next to him said: "Everyone in the garden, don't talk nonsense! If you don't finish your homework today, I'll punish you for flying out of town for 200 laps!” After a pause, this steady voice said again: “Madam Mother, I think it's getting late, let's hurry back. ”

The middle-aged man looked at several young men wearing grey magic apprentice robes, clustered with a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, as if the stars were coming towards the castle with the moon. The girl walked in the middle, and several young people around her looked respectful, carefully surrounded by her, but deliberately kept a little distance, as if she feared an inadvertent desecration of this lovely girl.

The young girl in the middle, unable to speak on a piece of pink, was already on a beautiful little face, and because of the shyness, she dyed a layer of red dizziness. The more attractive she looked, the bigger her eyes were full of water, but she didn't seem to dare to look at people. She just bit her lip and said shyly: “You... don't call me... Dean Husband, Madam..."

When middle-aged people saw this place, they probably had some numbers in their minds, smiled lightly, but walked over and stood in the path of this group of people.

“What man?” One of the slightly more stable young men saw him, frowned slightly, but subconsciously stepped forward and stopped in front of the girl - although his true strength was 18,000 miles worse than that girl's.

“Excuse me.” The middle-aged man's voice is peaceful: "Your Honor, perhaps the Duchess of Tulip. I was entrusted by a friend to visit the Duchess on a trip to the northwest. ”

Several magic apprentices, naturally the group of Dewey students, can be willingly called “Madame Dean” by this group of students, don't ask, nature is the genius to summon Bavivian.

Vivian was being called blushing by these guys, “Madame Mother.” After that drunkenness, he sprayed alcohol madness in public, and then it became a wonderful use, but all these students have identified this beautiful young lady, who is honored by the heavens, as the future Mother and Dean. In words and deeds, there is no disguise. Vivian was naturally shy, extremely skinny, and that intoxicating thing was the biggest embarrassment of her life, and everyone else was ashamed to mention it.

Today, I was taking a few students to shops in the city to buy some things. On my way back, I was called blushing by the group of students "Dean and Lady”. Fortunately, the first sig of the participants was fairly steady and appropriately diverted the topic. At this moment suddenly saw such a strange person blocking the road, Vivian had to stand still and look at it. I just felt that the middle-aged man standing in the middle of the road, his body style was really unspeakable and heartbreaking.

The other side seemed to just go to the middle of nowhere, but it was like a pedestrian around the road, and all the wind was concentrated on him. He seemed to laugh peacefully, but the sudden momentum was definitely not something ordinary people could have.

“Please, please… you are…” Vivian appropriately took a step.

“Ah…” the middle-aged man looked at the shy girl and he smiled slightly: "If I had guessed correctly, you must be the Honorable Master Vivian. I've heard a friend say your name, but he exaggerates a lot in front of me. ”

Vivian looked at the middle-aged man curiously, a little embarrassed, and made sure that he didn't have any ill intentions. “I... am Vivian. You, are…”

The middle-aged man touched it from his arms, and finally he touched a badge: "This was given to me by my friend. I met him in the frozen forest, but he rushed back, and I got a little hurt, so I delayed it for a while. ”

Vivian picked up this badge and immediately glanced! This badge clearly belongs to Hussein! The silly girl immediately understood the identity of the middle-aged man in front of her: "Ah! You are…”

“My name is Rodriguez.” The middle-aged man smiled lightly: “Once a knight… but now I'm just a cripple. ”

After that, he lifted his right hand and surprised Vivian that the right hand of the Holy Knight had been severed with his wrist all together! His whole right palm, it's gone!

Looking at Vivian in shock, Rodriguez smiled perfectly: “I've been hesitating, a cripple like me, to do something after saying goodbye to his knighthood, but fortunately, to my friend in this badge, maybe Lord Tulip can accommodate me. So... after thinking about it again and again, I came to the northwest. ”

(The following words are free:

I'm sorry to update so late today, and... this is the only chapter I have left today. I am sick, acute gastroenteritis, vomiting and pulling... I am also depressed, I took time off the day before yesterday, yesterday I made up the arrears, today there is another condition... Alas. Not to mention, I'm sure I'll make up for what I owe you today.

Finally, let's remind you that summer is here, so don't eat cold drinks or eat bulimia, otherwise you can easily get gastrointestinal problems.

Perhaps some readers will complain about how to take time off again... and I can't help it. But what I'm going to argue is that at least every time I take a leave, I make up for what I owe, so even though I take a leave, my workload hasn't diminished at all. I'm still rational about that.
