Law of the Devil Chapter 251: [Retired Knight]
Chapter 251 [Retired Knight]
Wind and sunshine, after the spring exercise, Loulan City resumed the noise of the past.
The "miracle city" that has spread throughout the northwest, with its geographical location closer to the border, and the superior natural environment near the most prosperous Loulan Lake in the northwest, has gradually replaced the former governor of Bohan The capital of Linxing Province has gradually become the largest border trade center in the Northwest.
Although there has been harassment from the prairie before, there is also a siege-like siege by the Northwest Army. Fortunately, when the official news came, after the Northwest Army had beheaded the enemy ’s golden wolf head from the steppe, at least one thing was revealed on the bright side: the Northwest Army did not turn back.
As long as this news comes out, people in the Northwest will always feel relieved.
As for the prairie ... After the last riot, Wang Ting above the prairie is said to have sent a messenger to the capital. A brief peace can be guaranteed, at least until the two sides fail to talk.
Dudainir, the garrison chief of Loulan City, strictly implemented the strategy of "outside loose and tight inside" set by Du Wei. After the withdrawal of the Northwest Army, the border trade in the town outside the city reopened. The cavalry of the tulip family of the brigade brigade was sent out to scout. The gates of Loulan City seem to be not strictly guarded, and businessmen can still enter and leave the city with the proof of the business group, but in the dark, the visitors on some grasslands, especially the crowds with strange clothes, have already Secret surveillance began.
Then the announcement of the draft order was posted on the bulletin board at the gate of the city.
On such an evening, the bustling crowd was surrounded by the bulletin board, and various businessmen from all over the mainland were bargaining loudly on the trade fair in the distance. A team of soldiers of the Tulip family came and went to inspect ...
There is such a horse. A lonely man came from the northeast road. A middle-aged man right away was thin and handsome. Although he looked nearly forty years old, he gently lifted the reins with one hand. The fingers on the palm were extremely long and the joints solid. At first glance, those who practice martial arts. Although his figure was slightly thinner, he was extremely well-proportioned and strong. Wearing a strange robe on his body, this kind of coarse robe is commonly worn by northern residents. The thick fabric can not only resist cold, but also stain resistance, but this person's eyebrows are glamorous and imposing, but it is absolutely not like Is an ordinary civilian. Although the horse riding was just an ordinary stallion. But others were on the horse, and their bodies were habitually erect. The posture in the eyes of the veteran was exactly the standard posture of a knight accustomed to riding.
What's even stranger is that he was dressed casually, with a small bag on top of the horse. Other than that, there wasn't even a sword weapon.
You know that in the northwestern part of the country, the land is barren and the people are defending it. Horse thieves ran rampant, and the business groups from south to north brought a large number of armed guards. In such a place, it's not uncommon to get into trouble with a single word. It can be said that when walking in the northwest, most people who travel far away, except for women and children, wear weapons with them. Long swords, sabers, and the like are all common, and occasionally rich, they also have leather armor.
And this man was light and didn't even have a short sword with him, so he went all the way to the gate of the city. The soldier guarding the city gate gave him a glance and asked casually, "Where did it come from?"
"... North."
"North? How big is the North! Ask me what you want. Don't be vague. Where on earth does the North come from?"
The man smiled slightly and asked the soldier's harsh words. Not angry, with a slight smile, a thin and handsome face, with a slight calmness, and spit out a few words in his mouth:
"Frozen forest."
When the words came out, the soldiers guarding the city were even more puzzled. An officer next to him frowned and looked at the man: "Ice forest? Didn't I hear anyone live there ... Are you a mercenary? Look at you You look like a warrior, right? "
This middle-aged person is very patient and smiles mildly: "It used to be ... but now I'm retired."
The officer glanced at him. This man was so small. He didn't even have a weapon on his body. Depending on his age, it would be reasonable to say that he was an old mercenary who retired and retired.
"Listen to your accent, is it also a Northwestern?" After a brief inspection of the outfit, the officer's tone softened a lot: "Our Lord Duke is recruiting talents widely. Since you are a martial arts land, we are also Northwesterners. It ’s better to go to the city to guard your luck outside the government. Now the guard is under the command of the Duke of the Lord and is now a guard. If you have two lands, maybe you can eat and dine, it ’s better than you go home and keep a few pieces Slender fields are much better. "
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, glanced at the officer, said thank you, and led Ma into the city.
Into the city, the middle-aged man walked slowly all the way, but was curiously watching the scene in Loulan City. The current population of this city, Lancheng, has exceeded 150,000, and it is regarded as the premier city in the northwest. The streets are very wide, and the interracial businessmen often rush into the city with big carts, but there is no congestion on this wide street. Residents in the city are also considered to live and work in peace. Dewey's announced one-year tax exemption policy was very popular. Apart from occasionally seeing one or two teams of patrolling soldiers on the streets of the city, the others were in order. There is a constant flow of pedestrians and various accents, which make this middle-aged person walk all the way down and can't help feeling.
I have been away from home for many years ... I never imagined that there would be such a bustling city in the northwest.
Teacher ... Maybe your advice is correct. This Dewey can really change the Northwest.
I asked the direction of the Duke ’s House at random. Everyone who asked him mentioned the Duke ’s House, and sincerely showed a kind of respect from the bottom of the heart, and a little awe in addition to the respect. But mentioning the Duke of Tulips was praised by everyone. It is only said that this time the bright **** opened his eyes and finally sent a good lord to Desa province.
I mentioned how the Duke of Tulips had great powers, performed miracles to make the land a good harvest, built a male city within three months, tax-free for one year to support the people, and an arrow shot back from the siege of the city ... The spit that speaks straight. Dewey was almost described as a rare figure in the sky.
And the middle-aged man asked the way of the Duke's Mansion, others immediately respected him, only when he was a relevant person in the Duke's Mansion, all enthusiastically showed the way, and even volunteered to lead the way.
Duke's Ducal Mansion is not difficult to find. The tallest building in the city is the Ducal Mansion of Dewey. This castle is more than thirty meters high, and a golden tulip flag is flying above the top of the tower.
Middle-aged people ride on horses all the way, but the streets next to the Duke's Mansion are quiet. Even if there are passing pedestrians passing by here, they consciously let go of the movement, and dare not make a noise here.
Looking at the heavily guarded guard on the suspension bridge, the middle-aged man seemed to smile and turned off the horse. He was about to walk over, and a group of people suddenly heard a grinning voice.
"Mrs. Dean, don't listen to him nonsense. What is the character of our dean? You don't know yet? I'm afraid the unlucky Northwest Army is this time. I think in the world, only our dean will count. Others, those who can count the Master of the Academy, haven't been born yet! "
Another slightly calm voice next to him said, "A big crowd, don't talk nonsense! Today's homework is not finished. If you talk nonsense again, I will punish you to fly out of the city for a hundred or two hundred laps!" , This calm voice again said: "Mrs. Dean, I don't think it's getting late. Hurry up and go back."
When the middle-aged man looked away, he saw a few young men wearing grey magic apprentice robes, surrounded by a young girl about fifteen or sixty years old, as if the stars were holding the moon toward the castle. The girl in the middle walked in the middle, but the young people around him looked respectfully, carefully around her, but deliberately kept a little distance, as if afraid of a careless blasphemy this cute girl .
The girl in the middle. A shyness that cannot be said on a pink face, and a small face that was originally beautiful, but also a layer of redness because of shyness, is becoming more seductive. A pair of big eyes are watery, but it seems that they dare not look Just like people, just bit his lip and shyly said, "You ... you. Don't call me ... Dean's husband. Madam ..."
Middle-aged people may have counted in their hearts when they saw this. He smiled slightly, but instead walked over and stood in the middle of this group of people.
"Who?" One of the slightly calm young men saw him, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but he took the first step subconsciously and stopped in front of the young girl. Although his true strength was worse than that young girl It looked like eighteen thousand miles.
"Excuse me." The voice of the middle-aged person is very peaceful: "You say" Master Dean ", probably the Duke of Tulips. I happened to be entrusted by my friends to visit the Duke of Northwest for a special trip."
Some magical apprentices are naturally the students of Dewey, and those who can willingly call the title "Mrs. Dean" do not need to ask. Naturally, it is the genius, Baba Vivian.
Vivienne is being blushed by these guys spitting a "Dean of the Dean". After that drunkenness, he drunk himself in public in drunkenness, and then he had a magical effect. But all these students have already identified the beautiful young lady who respects the heavens as the future dean's wife. In words and deeds, he made no secret. Vivian was inherently shy and had a very thin skin. In addition, the drunken thing was cited by her as the biggest thing in her life. Everyone else mentioned it was embarrassed.
Today, I ’m taking a few students to the shops in the city to buy some things. On the way back, they were flushed with a few words of “dean ’s wife” by the students. Fortunately, the head of the students, Zige, was fairly stable and properly Get off the topic. Suddenly seeing such a strange person blocking the road at this moment, Vivian couldn't help but take a look. Looking at it, I just felt that the middle-aged man standing in the middle of the road was so indescribable.
The other person seems to just stop at the middle casually, but it looks like a pedestrian around the road, all the styles are concentrated on him. He seemed to smile peacefully, but the subtle momentum was definitely not what ordinary people could have.
"Please, please ... you are ..." Vivian took a proper step.
"Ah ..." The middle-aged man looked at the shy girl, and he smiled slightly: "If I didn't guess wrong, you should be Master Vivian. I heard a friend talk about you Name, he boasted a lot of good words in front of me. "
Vi Wei'an was a little embarrassed, but looked at this middle-aged person curiously, and determined that the other party was indeed not malicious, and laughed: "I ... I'm Vivian. You, you ..."
The middle-aged man touched it from his arms, but at last he came up with a badge: "This is given by my friend. I met him in the frozen forest, but he had to hurry in advance When I came back, I got a little bit of injury, and it took a while to come over. "
Wei Wei'an took the badge and saw her eyes immediately! This badge clearly belongs to Hussein! The little silly girl immediately understood the identity of the middle-aged person in front of her: "Ah! You are ..."
"My name is Rodriguez." The middle-aged man smiled softly: "I was once a knight ... but now, I'm just a dead man."
After speaking, he raised his right hand. To Wei Wei'an's surprise, the paladin's right hand had been broken with his wrist! His entire right palm is gone!
Looking at Vivian's shocked eyes, Rodriguez smiled calmly: "I've been hesitating. A wasteman like me should do something after saying goodbye to the knighthood, but fortunately, give My friend with this badge said, maybe Lord Duke Tulip can take me in. So ... after thinking about it again and again, I came to the northwest.
