Located in the deep mountains at the junction of two Count's Territorys, a Red-headed Crow passed through a long and narrow cave and entered a hidden valley.
"Gah——"
"Gah——"
A guard who was resting on the watchtower opened his eyes, stood up, took out the red potion he was carrying, pulled out the cork, and placed it in front of Red-headed Crow.
The special fragrance made Red-headed Crow feel nauseous, and he vomited out the sealed Blue Jade Bamboo Tube stored in his stomach.
The guard picked up the small Blue Jade Bamboo Tube on the ground, put down a piece of meat, then left the watchtower and walked towards the center of the gathering place.
Red-headed Crow swallowed the meat with bright red blood in his belly and left here satisfied.
In a house located in the center of the valley, a young girl is concentrating on practicing, and Mana Energy who are wandering around her are flocking to her.
A Chinese knight entered the courtyard with the cleaned Blue Jade Bamboo Tube, stood respectfully beside him, and looked at the girl quietly, his eyes full of sorrow.
Half an hour later, the girl stopped practicing, opened her eyes, looked at the knight in the middle not far away, smiled, and asked, "Uncle Muller, what's the matter?"
"Liege Lord, Old Tom from Maishi Village sent Blue Jade Bamboo Letter." The knight in the middle bowed and saluted, offering Blue Jade Bamboo Tube with both hands.
The girl quickly stood up, came to Knight Muller, took the blue jade bamboo tube, removed the bamboo plug, and took out the note stored inside.
"My young master, two strange knights came to the village yesterday. They may be traitors. After a round of searches, I have discovered the identity of my subordinates. I don't have much time left. I am lucky to survive for more than thirty years. I hope that my young master will return to the [family] soon, put things right, and complete the unfinished business of the master."
"Liege Lord, what's the matter?" Muller asked eagerly as he saw the girl's face becoming more and more serious.
The girl closed her eyes, leaving a drop of tear in the corner of her eyes, covering her chest, feeling the beating of her heart, and the magic power circulating in her body. "Uncle Muller, the adoptive father is gone."
"What, how is it possible? Could it be that Maishi Village has..."
The girl handed the note to the knight, and sat helplessly on the ground. The memory of the young girl kept reappearing in her mind, and it was already a little blurry.
Muller read it carefully, his mood became more and more serious. He looked at the lost girl and comforted softly, "Liege Lord, Old Tom's sacrifice will not be in vain. His life guarded your traces."
"Don't let my sworn brother know about this yet."
"Yes."
The middle knight swallowed the note, saluted the girl, and then exited the house.
The girl was lying on the ground, her mood became more and more depressed, she couldn't help crying, and her heart became more and more hatred towards the two traitors who had been her direct descendants.
The journey to Kandela went smoothly.
Velin The expected mid-way attack did not appear at all, which made him doubt his judgment.
"Lord, in front is Kandela."
Looking at the distracted Velin, Kyle reminded him softly.
"Well, let's get settled in the city first." Velin patted Red Phosphorus Horse to speed up.
Kandela This Draesir Family most important city is somewhat different from the towns on the road. At least the environment is cleaner, the guards are doing their duty, and there is no extortion.
After paying two Copper Coin as the city entry fee, Velin entered the city smoothly.
After finding a place close to Noble District and Inn to settle down in the city, Kyle went out to receive the news and put his own affairs first. Even if Velin intended to let him rest for a day, it would be of no avail.
After Kyle left, Velin lay alone on the bed, waiting for Fate Guidance to arrive.
Radiant Calendar 9724 January 1st is another new year.
In this world, there is no tradition of celebrating the New Year.
Unless the nobles are willing to establish a legal holiday to celebrate the first day of the New Year and implement it in their own territory, ordinary civilians will have no time to rest and can only rush for life all day long.
[Three precious mermaid pearls are hidden under a reef on the outskirts of the small town of Qiaolika, Dongyan County, Sina Province, Kingdom of Ireya.]
"Mermaid Pearl, according to ancient history, a mermaid can only give birth to seven Mermaid Pearl in a lifetime. It can help High-rank Silver break through Gold-tier, a treasure that can be encountered but cannot be sought."
Velin touched his chin, wondering why there were three Mermaid Pearl placed under the reef. Did they accidentally fall here, or did someone put them here intentionally.
Mermaid Pearl is not very important for Velin. After taking Seven-Colored Life Flower, there is no bottleneck for him to break through the gold.
However, this thing can be given away.
I made a note of this place name in my mind, and after investigating Devonshire's information, Velin prepared to take the things away.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Kyle returned to Inn, feeling a little disappointed.
"Above, there is very little information about Devonshire in the market. Most of them are Devonshire and contemporary Draesir Family Clan Leader. The current Kaohsiung Territory Count was having an affair with a mistress, and was discovered by this Count. Devonshire was ashamed and voluntarily gave up his family name and left Kaohsiung Territory."
"Haha, this sounds fake." Velin poured a glass of water for Kyle, his tone full of contempt, and he was even more disgusted with the Draesir Family.
Isn't it funny to ask a person with questionable conduct how to become a Temple Knight?
"Up, what should we do next? Should we tie up a few Draesir Family people?" Kyle looked at Velin, a little eager to try.
Velin shook his head and prepared to wait a few days before talking.
In the next few days, the two of them stayed at Inn to rest, and occasionally went out to visit several iconic areas of Kandela to relax.
Three days later, Velin closed the window and closed the door of the room.
"So many more spies."
Velin watched Kyle reply on the drawing, and drew the appearance of the spy whose identity could be confirmed in the past few days, which was very different from the real person.
"Sir, why don't I kidnap a few of them back tonight and interrogate them strictly?"
"No need, now they are in the light and we are in the dark, switching between offense and defense." Velin put his hands on the table, staring at the portraits of eight people on the white paper, thinking constantly in his mind.
Are these people Draesir Family spies, members of the dead warrior Old Tom force, or members of some Evil God religious sect, or all of them.
"So, how should we respond?" Kyle said with some confusion.
"We'll leave the city in two days and see if these people will follow."
If this matter was really troublesome, Velin decided to give up recruiting Devonshire to be his Chief Knight Instructor. He did not want to be inexplicably involved in an unrelated conspiracy.
I hope that the information I need will not be involved, otherwise I will have to give up the "poaching" plan and go home.
