I took out an opened bottle of golden cider from the wine cabinet in Lyant, uncorked it, removed two more glasses from the wine cabinet, poured the golden liquor into the glass, and said to Arendt, "It's nothing. ”

Our glasses collided in the air with a 'ding' sound.

After taking a sip of the slightly sour golden cider, I said, "Arendt!"

"What?" said Arendt, looking at me.

"I must be kind to Tracy in the future, although she is usually a little short-tempered, she is not an unreasonable person, if it is really her that she has done something wrong, then please accommodate her. I said to Arendt.

Turning her head to look at Tracy, who was huddled on the couch with everyone, she seemed to be in a good mood lately.

"I will. Arendt said.

After a while, he said again: "I've been hearing about you from other falcon teams, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful." ”

I smiled noncommittally, and said to Arendt, "It also happened that we met a large group of barbarians who were about to rush through a pass, and we were well prepared before the hunt, and gathered a group of men to guard it, and hunted down many barbarians. ”

Arendt's eyes were full of curiosity, and he said to me, "That's the left ear full of magic chests barbarians!Jiga, how did you do it? Even if all the knights of the Knights of the Guard Battalion in El City poured out, they would not be able to kill so many barbarians. ”

"Do you really want to know?" I asked him, smiling.

"Is that okay, if it's convenient to say...... Of course, I swear I'll keep it a secret. Arendt said excitedly.

"This doesn't need to be kept secret, if more people know, maybe we can just keep these barbarians on the north bank of the Galloping Horse River next year. I said to Arendt.

With that, I got up from the high chair, beckoned to Arendt and said, "Come with me......"

"Where are you two going?" Tracy asked, sitting on the couch as he saw us walking outside the outhouse.

"Arendt wanted to know how we hunted the barbarians, and I went out into the yard with him to show him my secret weapon. I said to Tracy.

"You are so disgusting, Giga, you never told me this, and you never told me when I asked you!" Tracy said at once, raising her eyebrows, and grumbling to me with great dissatisfaction.

I spread my hands, shrugged my shoulders at Tracy and said, "It's the dean of Stans College who didn't let you join the Falcon Squad, and I can't help it!"

Tracy was angry and silent.

"You ...... It's a falcon?" Horace said to Tracy and Tracy with a look of surprise on his face.

"I'm not, only Jiga and Ruka are, and every winter they go out to the countryside to hunt. Tracy pointed at me, and she was quick to talk because of her tantrums.

"But...... Isn't Grigal a magician?When will magicians go out hunting barbarians in the winter?" asked Horace, puzzled.

He probably couldn't understand the role of a mage in the Falcon Squad.

It follows that the cities in the southern part of the province of Sloitt did not have much experience defending against the barbarians.

For a long time, very few barbarians would go there, and probably the farthest the barbarians had touched in Nato City, especially Ravenham, which was at the southernmost point of the Sloit province, and they probably didn't have many falcon squads there.

"It's popular for falcon squads here in El City to set magic traps with magic scrolls, and each falcon squad usually has a magician with them. "Tracy popularized common sense to everyone.

Uncle Horace put on a skeptical expression, but Gabriel, who was on the side, said with great interest, "Can I go with you to the courtyard to have a look?"

I glanced at Gabry, who was eager to take the plunge, and said, "Of course." ”

I walked out into the courtyard with Arendt and Gabrie, and Ying Li followed, as the bed crossbow pieces were stored in her magical fanny pack.

Ying Li took the parts of the bed crossbow out of his magic belt bag and placed them neatly on the yellow lawn, where there were no orc warriors and female dwarves, so he had to assemble them himself, and I asked Ruka to come and help.

Although the minotaur was a little clumsy about these delicate installations, he was a tall man, and with his help, I quickly set up a bed crossbow in the yard.

Seeing a well-made military bed crossbow set up in the yard, Arendt was extremely surprised, he didn't expect that I would have this kind of army to have heavy weapons, Arendt asked me: "Where did you buy this bed crossbow?"

"On the Hiero plane. I replied.

Arendt and Gabrie leaned closer, looked at the thick bow of the bed crossbow, and gently stroked the copper winch with their hands.

Arendt asked me, "In the wild, you all hunt barbarians with bed crossbows?"

I said to Arendt, "How is it possible! Such a bulky big guy, there is no mobility, it is so cumbersome to disassemble and assemble once, of course it is impossible to snipe a barbarian, you have to install a bed crossbow, I said that this is my secret weapon, I don't usually use it, only occasionally I use it, usually hunting barbarians still use ice magic traps." ”

"Your falcons in El City are really amazing, you can even get this kind of armament. Gabry looked at the bed crossbow and said to me with an envious expression.

I said, "Isn't there a plane war?" On the Tanton side, a lot of discarded bed crossbows were thrown on the side of the road like garbage, and I just bought some that looked like they were still usable, and after some tinkering after buying them, they became what they are now. ”

Gabre looked at the bed crossbow and said, "I see, no wonder this bed crossbow doesn't have an axle base!"

While we were watching the bed crossbow on the lawn in the courtyard, a group of knights poured into the alley outside.

Three luxurious magic caravans stopped at my door one after another, and the compartments of the three black magic caravans actually displayed the insignia of three different families, and I recognized the family crest of the magic caravan driving in the front, and the family crest on the magic caravan was the emblem of Benjamin's senior's family.

Our group was looking out of the courtyard when we saw Senior Benjamin leading the group into the courtyard.

Accompanying Benjamin were two middle-aged nobles, one of whom wore a black dress, his hair was a little gray, his face was angular, he had the majesty of a superior, and he wore a dark gold medal on his chest, which meant that he was a marquis of high status.

The other was a burly man, wearing a light leather armor, but with a faint murderous aura, a knight's sword hanging from his waist and the count's noble medal on his chest, and wherever he stood, he was like an unsheathed sword, making it impossible to ignore him.

I said hello to Senior Benjamin: "Senior Benjamin, why are you here?" ”

Senior Benjamin smiled at me and introduced to the noble marquis, "Lord Bertie, this is my junior brother Jijia, and it is his falcon team stationed at the pass of Lake Beran to block the barbarians advancing south. ”

I looked at these two nobles, maybe I had seen a lot of nobles in the imperial capital, even the duke had seen several of them, so when I faced the Marquis of Bertie, I didn't feel any pressure in my heart, and I looked at them without fear.

Hearing Senior Benjamin introduce me like this, I had some ideas in my heart.

At this time, I heard Senior Benjamin say to me: "Giga, these two are the Marquis of Berti, the consul of Ravenham, and Aemond, the head of the Knights of the Guard Battalion, and they have come back this time to meet you. ”

As I expected, it was the same group from Ravenham.

Probably after receiving the news from Senior Benjamin, he immediately rushed over to see me.

The Marquis named Bertie stepped forward, took my hand warmly, and said to me, "Young magician, thank you and your falcon squad for all that you have done to Ravenham City, and for finally finding you warriors. ”

Seeing me dazed, he formally introduced himself to me: "Hello, I'm Bertie from Ravenham City. ”

"Hello, Mistress Bertie, hello, Mistress Emond!" I said, leaning to the side, to the two.

The eyes of the Marquis of Bertie and the head of the regiment fell on the bed crossbow in the courtyard, and the head of the regiment Aemond pointed to the bed crossbow and asked me, "You used this bed crossbow without a pedestal to guard Lake Beran at that time?"

"Well, it's these bed crossbows, but it's more than that. I replied.

Captain Aemond approached to take a closer look, and when he saw the rivets on the various joints of the bed crossbow, he exclaimed, "The bed crossbow can still be disassembled and assembled like this!" These structures are very cleverly designed, but then again, this kind of bed crossbow is not as convenient as the bed crossbow that can be pulled around by a carriage. ”

I explained: "Those bed crossbows with wheels are considered munitions, and they cannot be purchased without a warrant signed by Charles the Great, and these bed crossbows are all I picked up from the scrap market." ”

Marquis Bertie and Master Aemond looked at each other before they said to me, "We've come all the way, won't the Wizard Giga invite us in and sit down?"

I hurriedly invited them into the house to sit down and said, "I'm sorry, it's a family gathering today, and the house is a little messy." ”

At this time, Aunt Basha's cousin Gabri stood aside, stood upright in front of the head of Aemond, saluted a knight, and stumbled, "Ae...... Your Excellency Captain Aemond, salute!"

Captain Aemond thought for a moment before calling out Gabry's cousin's name: "Gabry, why are you here?"

Gabby looked a little excited, and he replied seriously, "We're in El City for my cousin Tracy's wedding. ”

There was a slight fluctuation in El Adam's eyes, and he said to Gabry, "Oh, you are related to the Wizard Jiga?"

Cousin Gabriel, who looked a little stiff in front of Commander Aemond, spoke a little hurriedly, and said, "Well, yes, Master Major! ”

Captain Aemond glanced up at Cousin Gabriel and said in a rough voice, "Horace never told me that he had such a great relative in the city of El Eyre. ”

"My father happened to be a guest at my uncle's house," Gabbrey said. ”

Marquis Bertie laughed and said to Aemond: "No wonder His Excellency Wizard Giga would help Ravenham City when it was in danger, it turns out that there are relatives living in Ravenham City. ”

At this time, Ryant, who was sitting in the house, saw a guest coming from the courtyard and hurriedly walked out of the house.

I introduced Ryant to the Marquis of Bertie and Head Aemond.

Leant knew Benjamin, and although he didn't understand why the two rulers of Ravenham City were visiting, he warmly invited them into the house.

Aunt Barsha was now lobbying Fanny about the benefits of a commoner girl marrying into a noble family.

Aunt Basha's gaze fell on Cindy from time to time, and Cindy just sat obediently on the sidelines, her eyes slipping out of the window.

Uncle Horace sat on the sofa in a big way, not thinking about standing up to greet the new guests, probably assuming that Rryant's friends were civilians and that he didn't need to stand up to greet them.

Until he heard a familiar voice greet him.

Horace...... Is that you?" said Master Aemond, standing in the doorway, to Uncle Horace in the living room.

At this time, Uncle Horace turned his head to look at the door with a puzzled expression, and saw the Marquis of Bertie and the head of the regiment Aemond standing there, looking at him with a smile on their faces.

Uncle Horace wiped his eyes fiercely, and found that this was not a hallucination, so he quickly got up from the sofa, saluted the Marquis of Bertie and the head of Aemond at the door of the house, and said, "Why are the consuls and the captains here, is there some emergency in the city of Ravenham?"

"Haha, Horace, it's all this time, do you still want to hide it from us?" said El Mond as he strode toward Uncle Horace, and said loudly as he went.

Aunt Basha's family watched in surprise as Captain Aemond and Marquis Bertie walked in, but they looked at each other with a blank expression.

“...... You're actually being kept in the dark?" Seeing the expressions of Aunt Basha's family, Commander Aemond didn't know that this matter had not been made public within the family.

"What happened ......?" asked Uncle Horace with a strange look on his face.

"Didn't you say before that you must meet the Falcon warriors who helped us defend the pass of Lake Belan, how come you didn't even notice when they stood in front of you!" said Master Aemond, frowning, to Uncle Horace.

"Captain, do you mean the warriors who helped us defend the pass of Lake Beran, the men of Jiga?" Horace asked, pointing at me.

"Horace, you're right!" said Master Aemond, who sat down beside Uncle Horace, casually surveying the layout of the living room in the small three-story attic.

The Marquis of Bertie and the Captain of the Empire did not stay at my house for long, but only re-inquired about the situation of the pass at that time, and confirmed that it was really my falcon team that had done it, and then they thanked our family and left the place with a group of henchmen.

Watching those luxurious carriages slowly leave, I thought they would give us some gifts from Ravenham, but I didn't expect to receive any gifts.

At the ensuing dinner, Aunt Bartha's family fell completely silent, and they probably had some difficulty accepting the fact that Marquis Bertie and Head Aemond would actually visit the house in person, perhaps because there was no way to continue to put on a high posture in front of Ryan and Fanny, which made them a little unaccustomed to it.

I saw that the battle for the defense of the Belan Lake Pass was made public, so I had to tell the battle in general detail, of course, the battle scene was slightly reduced by me, since it was all in the past, let's make the process easier, so that Leant and Fanny have to worry about me.

After the dinner, Aunt Basha's family did not linger any longer, they hired a magic caravan to return to the hotel in the dark night.

The next morning, Aunt Basha and her family returned to Ravenham in a magic caravan, and our family went to the city gate to see off Aunt Basha and her family.

Before leaving, Aunt Barsha did not forget to tell Fanny how good her cousin Gabrie was, how good the life of the nobles was, and if Fanny wanted to marry Cindy to Gabriel, she and Uncle Horace would think about it...... Wait a minute.

But looking at Cindy's expression, you can know that Cousin Gabriel probably doesn't have much to do.

I booked a ticket for the airship with Noah, and at noon, Noah and I boarded the magic airship bound for the imperial capital......
