At noon, the bell of the assembly rang melodiously, and finally it was time to say goodbye.Ying Li was reluctant to follow the battle team organized by the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy, and walked into the teleportation circle temporarily set up at the entrance of the academy.They will be the first to reach the next ancient castle, which has a portal to the Manda plane, where the fourth-year students will experience a month-long journey.After Ying Li followed everyone into the portal, Le Die passed me like a stranger, Lucia nodded politely to me, and the two of them left the square in front of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy hand in hand.The square in front of the gate of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy became a mess, and the parents who came to see them off also left here one after another, only a few gray pigeons landed, strolling around in the square full of garbage, looking for something to eat.Apparently they weren't going to be disappointed, and the students in the academy left behind a lot of rubbish, the most discarded on the ground was food scraps and some fruit pits.Horse-drawn carriages spread out one after another from the entrance of the college and merged into the extensive road network.I politely declined the Prince of Wales' warm invitation and left the Junior School of Magic alone and silently.On the street, I found a magic caravan, gave the address on the nameplate of the key, and asked him to take me to the place where the daughter of Rengarh lived.Sitting in the carriage, he felt the wheels creaking against the bluestone slabs, and the magic caravan drove away from the Junior School of Magic.The carriage drove all the way into the seventh arrondissement of the imperial capital, and when I passed Route 22, I also stuck my head out of the window and glanced at the Place de la Sein and the Campbell Sanatorium on the north side of the square in the distance.The seventh district of the imperial capital belongs to the most marginal area of the imperial capital, although the streets here are still clean and tidy, but the distance between the street lamps has obviously become a little farther away, and the street trees on both sides have been replanted with some pears, hawthorns, apples, plums and other different kinds of fruit trees, and even some chestnut trees are planted in the yards of some houses.Entering the residential area here, you will obviously feel that there are more pedestrians on the street, the atmosphere of life here is very strong, there will be many old people lying on the benches under the trees chatting, and there are some children in linen clothes, chasing each other to play in the street, the clothesline in those yards is full of clothes, and in the attic of some houses, there will be a small platform for storage.Most of the houses here are some three-storey small western-style buildings, each house has a clear house number hanging on the front door, I and Ying Li in the days of rest, will wander the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, at that time, I was very envious of the environment of the imperial capital civilian area, I think that the place where they live is more luxurious than the rich area of El City, and later I learned that these two-story or three-story small western-style buildings, in fact, will be crowded with three or five different families.These poor people often have only one bedroom, they need to share the living room, kitchen and bathroom, and their daily life is not as comfortable as it seems.I saw that some of the younger children would be left in the room by the adults, and they would have to lean against the window and watch with envy the children playing and playing in the street.The bush walls on both sides of the street were all planted with blueberry trees, which were closely arranged together, and by this time, the clusters of small pale blue flowers on the branches of those blueberry trees had withered, and by this time they were already covered with small blueberry fruits, like hawthorn fruits, and the color was still green.When these fruits are ripe, these fruit trees may be able to slightly improve the lives of the people in the slums of the imperial capital.The carriage stopped at the mouth of an alley, and the coachman opened the wooden door of the carriage, nodded politely to me, and I threw him a silver glittering silver hammer, and then told him that if you could wait for me here, I would return the same way in his magic caravan, and that I would pay him two more silver hammers, and the coachman was naturally overjoyed, laughing happily, and nodding his head.Obviously, it would be a good income for him to earn three silver hammers a day.Then I jumped out of the carriage, saw that the house number here was exactly the same as the key plate indicated, and walked into a slightly cluttered courtyard, only to find that there were actually a few people standing in this courtyard.One of them, a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous silk robe, stood on the steps with a big belly, stared at a pair of bronze bell-wide eyes, pointed at the civilians around him and said, "Don't make any noise, I'll kick those two orcs out today, but the cost of the attic they rent will be shared by you until you find a new tenant, don't think I'm joking." ”。
Someone in the crowd immediately complained: "It's not fair, Master Ivan, why should we pay for the rental of that house?"
”The middle-aged nobleman stepped on the wooden pier of the steps viciously, pinched his waist with one hand, and pointed to the person who complained with the other, and said in a very fierce tone: "It's not that you asked me to drive those two orcs away, for this reason, I will suffer the loss of four silver hammers every month, who will be responsible for my loss, and who will be responsible?"
Well, of course it's you!
You are the initiators of this. ”"And sir, I also have to take some risks for this, that is a warrior of the orc tribe, a lion and tiger man, you don't haven't seen the two scimitars on his waist, they have seen blood."
After the middle-aged aristocratic man finished speaking, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his oily fat face, and stared at the group of people with his small eyes rolled.I stood quietly at the door for a long time, and found that no one noticed me, and was about to step in when I heard the sound of footsteps behind me.Looking back, I found a group of knights riding on horses, and there was a civilian boy in front of him to lead the way, running all the way, the boy was already tired and out of breath, and the boy insisted on running into the yard, only to sit on the ground with a butt on the ground, gasping for breath, and then pointing to the attic of the house, and shouting loudly: "Knight, I saw the banshee from that window." ”I didn't expect to meet a group of knights from the guard battalion here, and when I heard what the young man said, my heart sank.That's right, Rengar's daughter is not an orc, it's a harpy with royal blood, if it is strictly divided according to race, they should be demonic beasts bred from demons and beasts, but those harpy banshees of royal blood should have primary wisdom, and this banshee upstairs is difficult for me to define what she belongs to, if these knights who don't care about the city management are caught in the guard camp, it is really a little bad.Although she is the daughter of the liger Rengar, her physical signs reveal all the characteristics of the royal harpy, even if she has the bloodline of the liger, but of course those knights will not pay attention to this, I think they prefer to study whether the harpy has a demon core in the head.When the boy shouted, I followed the direction of his finger and looked over to the attic, and I saw a slender figure flashing by the window.My eyes were so sharp that even though there was a faint veil of light veil in the attic window, I could still see some white feathers.It's just that at this time, those knights were busy dismounting, and when they looked over, there was no one in the window.The knights of the guard battalion looked at each other suspiciously, and then said viciously to the civilian boy: "Child, you must know that those who deceive the knights of the guard battalion for no reason will receive ten lashes. ”The civilian boy's face turned pale when he heard this, obviously he knew very well how terrible the punishment of flogging was, but at this time he still nodded very firmly, making sure that he understood the consequences.The knights walked into this small courtyard, and when they saw me at the door, they didn't pay much attention at first, and only thought that I was a bit of an eyesore in fancy dress, but when they saw the magic badge on my chest, their arrogant faces became very kind again, and they nodded to me slightly, and followed the boy one after another, and walked into this courtyard.The middle-aged nobleman in the courtyard, who was a little fat, saw that the civilian boy had led a group of knights from the guard battalion in, and he jumped to his feet in anger, but he didn't dare to attack in front of these knights, so he just glared at the civilian boy viciously, and quickly rubbed his hands, showing a simple smile, and greeted him.I secretly asked, this face has become really fast, if it weren't for the snarky face I saw before, it is hard to imagine that such a nobleman with a wide heart and a fat face with an affectionate smile would be so sharp-toothed.The last knight passed me, and the next second, he suddenly stopped, then turned to look at me carefully.I looked at him strangely, and saw the knight of the guard battalion slap his forehead with his hand, and suddenly he squinted at me and smiled kindly: "Your Excellency, your wounds are healed?"
Why are you here, the Magic Guild must have sent you to assist us!
”I looked at him in amazement, and immediately remembered that this knight of the guard battalion was the same knight who had stupidly run to the tower of arrogance last night to take me to the guard camp to assist in the investigation, and obviously, when he knew that I had a good relationship with the Prince of Wales, his tone and attitude had changed significantly when he saw me again this time.Hearing the knights behind me say this, the whole group of knights stopped and looked at me in amazement, only to see me standing by the wall of the doorway and the magic badge that glittered on my chest.So a knight with the captain's epaulette walked up quickly, stood in front of me, and gave me a knightly salute cleanly, with a smile on his face, and said to me very warmly: "Your Excellency, it is wonderful that you have personally cooperated with us in investigating the remnants of the monastics, welcome!"
, I'm Montgomery, the captain of the fifty-seventh squad of this guard battalion. ”Recently, the guard battalion and the Magic Guild have jointly cleared the remnants of those black magic hermitages, obviously he regards me as the magician who is responsible for clearing the heretics of the hermitage, I am worried that there is no way to participate at this time, through the topic of this knight captain, I am very happy to touch the magic badge on my chest, and then said modestly to the knight captain: "Lord Scholar just asked me to assist you, if you encounter something that cannot be solved, the Magic Guild will give the greatest support and help, water magician Jijia, Apply for a temporary squad, Lord Knight Montgomery. ”"Well done, Wizard Jiga!"
Captain Montgomery was naturally extremely happy to see me so polite, and directly stated that he was not seizing power, but assisting in the investigation and giving help, and shook my hand affectionately, and then took my shoulders and walked into this courtyard with me, and introduced to me what they knew as he walked, it turned out that this civilian teenager directly found them who were patrolling, and said that in the attic of their residence in the civilian area, there was a white bird monster.Hearing what the knight captain Montgomery said, I felt nervous for a while, thinking that this thing was really hot, but I didn't expect that it was a coincidence, but at this time, Rengaar's daughter would actually reveal her identity.In the decree of the Green Empire, although there is no explicit ban on the entry of the harpy, it is also strictly controlled for these demonic beasts with primary wisdom, and once the news spreads, I don't know how many demons will come to hunt and kill this young harpy, and when the time comes, even if those demons really kill the daughter of Rengar, I can't do anything to them, because their vocation is to be a demon, specializing in killing this kind of demonic beast with primary wisdom.I sighed softly, thinking to myself that since I had promised Rengar to take care of his daughter for him, I would naturally do what I said.I glanced up at the chubby middle-aged nobleman who had been stopped, and saw that the noble medal on his chest was only a baron of the first class.In this imperial capital where the streets are full of counts and there are many viscounts like dogs, a small first-class baron really can't let these knights of the guard battalion look high, he is just a small nobleman living at the bottom of the society, maybe his situation is relatively better, at least he still has such a property in the imperial capital, he can rent it out to these commoners, and exchange it for some silver bells every month to live.So at this time, the middle-aged baron looked nervous, and he had been trying to come over and explain a few words to Montgomery, the captain of the knights of the guard camp, but he was stopped by the other knights.As for the civilians who were around the middle-aged baron just now, they were already cowering in the corner in fright, and at this time, no one wanted to be involved in this incident, so no one was willing to come over.The knights of these guard battalions were usually arrogant in these civilian areas, and they were almost not ready to ask questions, and after learning about the basic situation in this house, two knights strode to the door and wanted to rush into this house directly.At this time, I gently pulled the knight captain on the side, and when I saw him looking at me in surprise, I hurriedly said: "With all due respect, Captain Möngke, in fact, I also got some information through other channels this time, saying that there is a liger here who is keeping a harpy in captivity, and it is said that the liger is a very brave warrior" "Roy, wait a minute!"
”Captain Montgomery was quick-witted, and immediately understood what I meant, and immediately stopped the knight who was about to rush up and kick the door.Then he set his eyes on the chubby middle-aged nobleman, Captain Montgomery stroked the saber at his waist with one hand, and walked over slowly, looking at the middle-aged nobleman with a faint sneer on his face.Before he could speak, the middle-aged nobleman's face was already pale with fright, and his heart was so weak that sweat broke out on his forehead.Captain Montgomery still didn't understand the situation, and shouted at the middle-aged nobleman: "I see that you really want money and don't want to die, anyone dares to take it in, tell me who you gave the attic group to, say it slowly, be careful that Lao Tzu slaughters you first, and then gives you the name of a Black Magic Hermitage heretic!"
”Captain Montgomery quickly pulled out the knight's saber at his waist, and put the dazzling saber on the neck of the middle-aged nobleman who was full of fat, and made a cut against the flesh of his neck.But just such an action directly frightened the middle-aged nobleman to sit on the ground completely, all the feces and urine on his lower body flowed out, and an unpleasant stench came out from under his buttocks."
Lord Knight, spare my life, I just rented the attic of this house to a pair of orc father and daughter, the lion tiger warrior said that she was a mercenary, begging for a living in the imperial capital, his daughter is very precious, always wrapped tightly, with a light veil, and never showed his true face, I really didn't know that it was a monster!"
The middle-aged baron had a complete mental breakdown at this time, spit out all the information he knew, and then muttered the same sentence repeatedly as if he was enchanted: "I'm a nobleman, don't kill me, I'm a nobleman, don't kill me" Captain Montgomery's face turned pale with anger, and kicked the middle-aged viscount down, and then turned his head to look at the civilian boy who was already scared stupidly in the field, just now he led the way and came here with the knights of the guard battalion, and at this moment he saw the knight captain with a ruthless face, and walked towards him, I thought I was going to kill him, but I was so frightened that I collapsed on the ground."
If it weren't for the Wizard Jiga reminding me, I wouldn't have known there was an orc warrior in this attic, why didn't you just say it?"
Montgomery angrily questioned the civilian boy, the tip of the saber against the boy's forehead, and with a gentle force, the tip of the knife could pierce the boy's head."
Wow I don't know, I don't know if he's come back, when I look for you, the liger hasn't come back yet, he goes out a lot, and he's gone for days," the boy howled, and then choked up and said these words.
