Now those few wandering knights are all in a state of being unable to get off. They can't retreat even if they want to, and they can't win at all. Now that there are old knights setting up the ladder, they will naturally not be ignorant and deliberately pretend to obey orders.

She put the long sword in her hand into the scabbard, turned around and walked back without saying anything, and went back to doing her own thing, as if what happened just now had never happened.

"Your Majesty Capello's sword, your sword!" Leo did not show mercy any longer and returned the two long swords with scabbards to the old knight.

When the old knight Capello took over the sword, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, because if Leo really gained the upper hand, he would have no way to stop him, because Leo's superb swordsmanship was far beyond what he knew.

Anyone. As for Leo's status as a knight, he no longer doubted it, because with such outstanding swordsmanship, in any court, as long as the person in power was not blind, he would be canonized as a knight.

After returning the long sword to the old knight, Leo picked up the container filled with water again and returned to the ruins of the Elf Kingdom. At this time, everyone looked at him differently, full of awe. After all, as long as

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened when he fought with those wandering knights just now, and no one would think that Leo's previous words about them being knights were lies.

"Here, you can freshen up!" Leo came to his resting place, handed the container in his hand to Sylvia, and said.

Sylvia naturally took the container and placed it on the stone table next to her. While briefly washing and arranging her clothes, she asked Leo: "Why were you so high-profile just now? It seems a little different from the way you do things.

"

"Sometimes it's better to be more high-profile, which can avoid a lot of trouble." Leo replied as he packed his bags.

Sylvia wiped the water stains on her face with a towel, walked up to Leo and asked, "Should I be more low-key too?"

Leo looked at Sylvia, lifted up a strand of hair hanging in front of his eyes, hung it behind her ears, and said: "When you put on the knight's armor and defeat each opponent, it will be difficult to keep a low profile.

"

"Yeah, that's right." Sylvia smiled, kissed Leo, and turned to go to the caravan to order hot water and make some drinks.

After the interlude of the competition by the creek, nothing else happened in the camp. Everyone quickly packed up their belongings after freshening up, and the wandering knights also put on their armor again and started on their way.

The only difference from yesterday is that everyone has become more respectful and closer to Leo and Sylvia. The caravan leader comes over from time to time to ask them what they need. After all, there can be two knights with strong swordsmanship in the business.

In the team, it is also a good thing for the caravan.

Although only Leo showed amazing swordsmanship, everyone still counted Leo and Sylvia together, thinking that Sylvia should also be a very powerful knight.

Especially after the attendants who saw Sylvia catching prey with a crossbow last night told everyone about it, everyone felt more and more that Sylvia might be more difficult to deal with than Leo, because the long sword still needed

You have to get close to kill someone, but a crossbow can kill the enemy from a long distance, and the enemy doesn't even know how he died.

On the road, the old knight Capello came to the carriage where Leo and the two were sitting. Then he jumped off his horse, tied the horse to the railing of the carriage, and signaled the coachman to leave for a while, and then he sat in the coachman's seat.

He drove the carriage skillfully and asked Leo at the same time: "Your Excellency Leo said before that the two of you went to Beauclair to participate in the Knights Conference, but in my opinion, it may be difficult for the two of you to attend the conference."

"Why?" Leo knew the old knight's thoughts very well and didn't want to expose them, so he asked in cooperation.

"Because the identity of the two knights cannot be determined." The old knight Capello asked a key question, and then he was worried about upsetting Leo and Sylvia, and added: "It's not that I deny the identity of the two knights.

But their country, France, is too far away from here, and we have never heard of it, so naturally we cannot investigate their knight identities."

When Leo heard this, he deliberately looked embarrassed and said, "Did we come here in vain this time?"

"Of course not." The old knight Capello shook his head quickly and said: "Actually, there are two ways for you to obtain the knight certificate. The first is to find a way to join a knight order, obtain the status of a squire, and then establish enough merits to become a knight.

.However, in my opinion, this method is not suitable for you, and I don’t think you would be willing to become an attendant." After saying that, he paused, and then said: "The other way is to obtain a prestigious local in Toussaint.

The nobleman guarantees that the identity of the two knights is true."

Leo frowned and asked, "This nobleman wouldn't vouch for a stranger for no reason, right?"

"Of course," the old knight continued: "Your Excellency must first gain enough reputation, such as accepting some tasks on the bulletin boards in various big towns, gaining folk reputation, and letting the big nobles know that there is a person like you, and then you can

Meet the noble in person and do something for him, so that you can exchange the noble's guarantee for your knighthood."

Leo asked: "But does this take too long? If we follow this process, I'm afraid the martial arts tournament will have ended long ago."

The old knight said solemnly: "Indeed, it takes a long time, but sometimes we can take shortcuts and do two things at the same time."

Leo asked sincerely: "Please Mr. Capello, please tell me."

Seeing Leo's cooperation, the old knight didn't hold back anymore and said the words he had prepared long ago.

It turns out that the old knight Capello has been appreciated by a count named Cromi Britta of the Principality of Toussaint. After completing this patrol mission, he will leave the Wandering Knights and become the count's guard captain.

.

However, the Count of Britta has recently encountered some troubles, and the old knight Capello has been unable to solve this trouble, which has also affected his status in the mind of Count Britta.

The trouble is that workers and farmers have been missing from one of Count Britta's vineyards recently. Seven people have been missing. Beauclair also sent people to investigate, but no results were found at all. Moreover, even as the investigation team was still in the vineyard,

That night, another person disappeared.

So all kinds of rumors spread around for a while, the most widely circulated rumor was that the ghosts of the Elf Kingdom were taking revenge on Count Britta.

It turns out that the ancestor of Count Britta had killed many elves in the war with the elves. He even showed no mercy to the elves' children. Even some humans looked down upon him and called him an elf butcher.

Later, the elf butcher obtained the status of an earl because of his merits, and also obtained a large fiefdom. The fiefdom was located on the ruins of the former elf kingdom. However, the earl had his own apartment in Beauclair, so there was no

I went to live in a fiefdom.

Later, Count Britta found that the geographical environment of that fiefdom was very suitable for growing grapes, so he cleared all the elven ruins there, leaving only a few foundations to build a winery, and the rest of the land was planted with grapes.

After several generations of cultivation, that vineyard has become one of the best vineyards in the Principality of Toussaint, and the wine produced by Count Britta's family is also a frequent visitor at previous wine conferences, and has won the first prize at several wine conferences.

winning.

The disappearance in the vineyard will have a great impact on wine production. Workers and farmers are unwilling to work in such a dangerous environment. A large number of ripe grapes cannot be harvested and can only rot. And now

The wine produced may eventually fail because no one takes care of it.

After the knights meeting, there is the annual wine meeting. If Count Britta cannot solve the troubles in his winery and make wine in time, then he will be absent from this wine meeting, which will definitely affect his reputation.

A very serious blow.

In Toussaint, the winner of the Wine Conference is as important as the winner of the Knights Conference, or even more important than the winner of the Knights Conference. After all, those who attend the Wine Conference are either wealthy businessmen with money and status, or nobles with extraordinary status.

Whether it is winning the championship at a wine conference or just participating in a wine conference, it is extremely important for any wine maker. The loss of reputation caused by one absence cannot be made up by attending ten times.

After the disappearance in the vineyard, some of Count Britta's rivals began to secretly create various rumors. They even said that the wine brewed from Britta Vineyard contained the curse of the ghosts of the Elf Kingdom, and anyone who drank it would be cursed.

Curse or something like that.

Although people with a little bit of intelligence will feel that these rumors are too false after hearing them. But not everyone can look at these rumors rationally and intelligently. The vast majority of people follow them blindly, so some rumors about it have been spread in Beauclair.

There are some unfavorable rumors about Count Britta.

Now Count Britta's top priority is to solve the disappearance case at the manor and break the rumors of the ghost curse from the outside world.

Therefore, Count Britta has recently found a lot of people to investigate, but there is still no result. There are still people missing, and the number of missing people has reached as many as ten. The workers and farmers of the manor are letting Count Britta drive out again.

Even though he was paid too much, he was unwilling to take a step closer to the manor.

Now Count Britta is completely helpless about the wine estate, so according to the old knight Capello, if Leo can help the Count solve this problem at this time, let alone guarantee their knighthood, even if it is directly

It wouldn't be a problem to have the earl canonize them as Knights of Toussaint.

"How should I take on this mission?" Leo thought for a moment and asked.

The old knight immediately explained: "It's very simple. The town of Tilan we arrived at noon is a town with a bulletin board. Count Britta has left mission announcements on almost all the town bulletin boards in Toussaint. Then you will only

If you need to accept this mission announcement, just register at the tavern in charge of the announcement board."

Leo frowned when he heard this and said: "Is this how to accept the mission? But our reward is not for money, but for the knight's guarantee. Doesn't this kind of reward need to be discussed in advance?"

"It's not necessary at all," the old knight shook his head and said, "You will know when Mr. Leo sees the mission announcement on the bulletin board. In order to solve this trouble, the earl is willing to pay an extremely generous reward. The reward you want

It’s just a small thing.”

After saying that, the old knight felt that he, the lobbyist, had successfully accomplished his goal, so he had no interest in staying here any longer. After casually talking to Leo for a few words, he jumped out of the carriage and exchanged the driving right with the unfaithful person.

The driver who followed the carriage in the distance untied his mount, sat astride the horse, and left quickly.

After the old knight left, Leo asked Sylvia in French: "What do you think about this?"

"It's a very good springboard!" Sylvia nodded and said, "We don't necessarily need that earl to guarantee the knighthood. We can actually use his earlhood as a springboard to contact other Toussaint senior officials and further develop our relationship with him.

Contact the court sorceress Fringilla Vigo."

"Yeah!" Leo nodded in agreement.

The team continued to move forward slowly at the same speed as yesterday. After passing two forks, the road became a little wider, and there were more pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages on the road. It seemed that this place should be very close to the town.

At noon, the convoy had already seen the houses in the town ahead, so under the old knight's order, they moved much faster. When they arrived at the entrance of the town, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

With the emergence of this large town, it means that they have now left the border area of ​​Toussaint and begun to enter the core urban area. This also means that the chance of encountering robbers on the road is extremely slim.

The old knight Capello signaled the team to take a rest outside the town. People in the team could go to the town to buy some things before continuing on the road after noon.

Because this town can currently meet the needs of Leo and Sylvia to purchase horses and weapons, and it can also receive missions from certain earls, they feel that there is no need to continue to follow the convoy, so they go with other

Some ordinary travelers who arrived at their destination left the caravan together.

Not long after Leo left, several people left the caravan, each riding a fast horse, and sent information about Leo and Sylvia to their respective forces.

This does not mean that Leo and Sylvia will be given special attention. For spies lurking among the people, collecting information about strangers is just a routine matter, especially when the annual Knights Conference and Wine Conference are about to be held.

, there are countless people from various countries in the north and south, and collecting this intelligence data has become a daily task, and this intelligence will eventually be piled up with other intelligence until one day it is needed, and it will be dug out again.,/
