"No, I still have no clue."

Even if I ask the person who sent the letter, I only know that the letter was sent here from a very distant place and was transferred many times.

"No need to worry too much, one day I will find that person."

"You bastards, can't even queue up?? Arrange them all for me. Don't try to get in line in the chaos. Even if you are ahead of others, you won't be qualified!"

Matadra angrily scolded him. Nearly a hundred heroes immediately lined up from a plate of loose sand into neat straight lines, and even the steady Zier was frightened to his shoulders just now.

He is worthy of being the Lord of the Mountain, and the earth-shaking roar is scary enough.

As the sunset sank into the distant horizon, merchants packed up their goods and prepared to close the door, and the crowds were getting fewer and fewer. Oil lamps on the streets were lit one after another, and soldiers appeared on the road to conduct routine patrols.

The people who had finished the interview came out of the hotel one after another, and they all looked embarrassed and left lonely with their luggage on their backs.

"It's too much. I actually said that I'm too short, which damages the image of the royal family..."

Yes, it seems that height is also within the rating criteria.

"Damn it! I came here wearing this set of family armor and famous swords."

Too much attention to the instrument doesn't look like it's not working.

"I can see through at a glance that I am a fugitive. This Matadra is really not easy."

Wait, who will arrest him in the end?

"Yak, what are you doing there? Why don't you go forward quickly? Judging from the team's progress, the candidates may have been decided. Maybe it will be over before our turn to interview."

If this is the case, it would be bad. I have never considered a way out other than the princess guard...

I looked at the team with less than a few people left in front and thought that it would be better to buy a larger field in the future, or to change to a baker. At this time, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from behind.

"Help, the horse is out of control--!"

The old carriage on the carriage controlled the reins hard, but the two horses in front were like crazy, rushing around everywhere without hesitation. Many street stalls were affected and all the goods were knocked down and crushed.

"Stop quickly, or we'll arrest you!"

The guards held the torch and lined up in a row to block the carriage's path. The horses who were afraid of flames quickly changed the route. The carriage behind was thrown towards the soldiers blocking the front, knocking them to pieces.

No, if this continues, it will cause more casualties. You have to find a way to stop it!

I glanced at Zi Er, believing that he was thinking about the same thing.

Zier, who intersected my eyes, understood my intention, first shook his head regretfully, then shrugged and smiled helplessly, and left the team and ran towards the crazy carriage.

"Is there any good way?"

We stood in front of the carriage's route, each holding the sword tied around our waists, ready to take action at any time.

"If you want to avoid hurting the horse in front, you can only cut off the connection area next to the driving."

Zier pulled out his slender sword, with exquisite patterns on it, and the sword body still shone in the night.

That sword is the treasure of the Torede family heirloom, symbolizing that it was once a proof of the nobles, and it is called "Yaoan".

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a sword forged by mixing into a special ore. Its lethality is not particularly outstanding, and maintenance is even more troublesome, but it can be sold at a good price.

The carriage drove straight towards us, and I pulled out the "very ordinary" iron sword at my waist and put it on my chest to pose.

"It's coming! Yak."

"oh!"

Just as we were about to rush forward, the carriage suddenly changed direction and ran towards the residents gathered by the pool to watch the fun. The crowd shouted in panic and scattered, leaving a little ghost behind, standing foolishly, staring at the rampage carriage running towards him.

"Yak, please give me the carriage!"

Before I could react, Zier had already put away Yaohan and ran straight towards the boy.

“Received!”

I was half a beat late to catch up, so I quickly changed the route to predict the new path the carriage would pass, and looked back from time to time to pay attention to Zier's situation and the remaining distance of the carriage.

Fortunately, before the carriage hit, Zier hugged the child and jumped into the pool. Both of them were safe.

"Very good, the next thing is these two guys who are rampant."

"Hey, let's go!"

The carriage was about to push past me a second before, and I jumped up hard, and amid the screams of everyone, it just landed next to the carriage.

"Boy, this is very dangerous. Don't jump up suddenly!"

"I want to ask you, how did you make horses crazy? They won't be protesting overtime work, right?"

"I won't abuse my horses. They just ran into a shaking black shadow on the way here, and somehow they suddenly went crazy."

The elderly chariot tried hard to pull the reins, but in the end he could not control the horse.

Rather than being crazy, it looks more like running away.

The shadows are everywhere in the night, and this reason is really not convincing at all.

"Anyway, you're free."

I swung my sword to cut off the connection, and the carriage fell on the street with a sound of touching, and the two horses who had regained their freedom ran forward until the sound of horse hooves disappeared in the distance.

Because things were resolved smoothly, I jumped out of the carriage and prepared to leave, but the carriage grabbed my clothes.

"Boy, the two excellent war horses have a total of seventy gold coins."

"It's obviously a bastard, I want to take the opportunity to cheat me--No! Why should I pay you!?"

Just as I was arguing with the coachman, Zi Er's whole body was wet and appeared beside me in a mess.

There were warm cheers and applause everywhere, but for me at this moment, I was not happy at all, because the interview at the other end of the hotel had come to an end and my sweat over the past few years was burned.

I also lost it, the only chance to return to the princess...

"Raise your chest, Yak, at least we have managed to stop this commotion, you should be proud."

Zier, who couldn't hide his lost, tried to say something to comfort me.

"I know... it's definitely the right thing to do..."

My throat was dry, and tears almost burst out from my eyes, and my eyes gradually lost focus.

The disbanded team became a crowd of onlookers, and the soldiers holding the flag also followed Matadra back to the castle, leaving only the pain that deeply penetrated the heart.

Zi Er, who wanted to speak but stopped, finally decided to let me calm down alone and retreat to the side silently.

I clearly know, and I know how much I yearn for it.

Even so, I still cannot go against the way of the knight in my heart.

"That-"

As time passed by minute by minute, the pain in my heart gradually spread like ripples.

That's right, since the day ten years ago, I have vowed to be an excellent knight.

I never forgot the powerlessness that day; the weak self that day.

"Sorry--"

I didn't expect that ten years later, I would still be so useless.

I don't even have the qualifications to return to you...

"Excuse me-"

There seemed to be sparse voices coming from behind, but I didn't have any extra thoughts to care.

There must be some other way, after all, there is no way out!

In short, I can only go back first and plan for a long time while growing potatoes.

"Please pay attention to my side!"

The corner of my clothes was suddenly pulled down hard, which forced me to turn my head to check.

"What are you doing? Zier, can't you see that I'm suffering in my heart?"

Strangely, Zi Er wrung his hair next to him.

"Go down, Mr. Scar."
