The sky faded, the stars and moon did not go, and the clouds rolled over, and it began to snow again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The sky, which had been torn apart by the arc of stars, was once again covered with clouds under the agitation of the wind, and the faint snowflakes gradually fell, and almost no one noticed it at first, but in the back, it turned into velvet snow like catkins dandelions, and then became a snowstorm like goose feathers.

Moldova is closer to the north than Moldavia and spends half of the year covered in snow and ice.

In the snow, on the city walls, the resting knights were waiting for the announcement of the orderly who had arranged their lodging for them, and the armoured and helmets took off their weapons beside their horses, breathing quietly, and the occasional soft conversation came from the crowd.

"Hey, that shadow that suddenly appeared just now should be the head maid of the adult, right?"

Approaching the spiral staircase, a well-eyed young knight saw his lord and the blonde-haired golden swordsman walking briskly towards the central tower on the side, catching a silver twig out of the corner of his eye.

He immediately turned his head to his companion beside him and said strangely: "I wanted to ask before, why did the lord take his head maid with him, obviously he was in a hurry all the time, and there was no time to rest halfway...... And the young lady disappeared halfway, and she didn't know where to run, so why did she suddenly appear again? ”

"Don't worry about it."

A certain knight god who seemed to be very experienced was there, and he shook his head and said, "I don't need to explain to you what my lord does...... In other words, the question you're asking doesn't make sense at all, and do you know the Shadow Guardian profession? ”

"What's that?"

"Just listen to the name and you'll understand."

The young knight was full of curiosity, and the old knight was also willing to answer: "Generally speaking, in order to ensure their own safety, the big men usually bring a few guards and elite soldiers with them when they go out or fight...... But it is impossible for ordinary guards to be by their side all the time, so the class of shadow guards appeared. ”

He patiently explained, "The Shadow Guardians have an ability called Shadow Concealment, which allows them to lurk in someone's shadow and follow the target they need to protect at any time - of course, they can also be used for assassination, but their power is more defensive than that of their own Shadow Assassins. ”

"It is rumored that the old earl's butler, Mr. Fan, is a shadow guard, if nothing else, this young maid should be Mr. Fan's junior or apprentice, and when she disappears, she should have sneaked into the shadow of the adult."

"Maybe ......"

"You guys are so long-winded, what is there to talk about such a thing."

Another knight also joined the conversation, and the guy said casually: "It doesn't matter what profession she is, what disappears, anyway, the lord didn't speak, so we don't need to worry about this matter—shouldn't the knight think about how to kill the enemy?" ”

"That's right."

"That's true."

There was silence for a while, and then nodded approvingly, and the knights who were talking suddenly gave up thinking about such meaningless things, and they shrugged their shoulders and said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, just take care of your own battle." ”

Miss Shenji wouldn't know that she had become an inexplicable shadow guard in the eyes of others—God knows how they guessed—but it wasn't a big deal.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, the three of them had already reached the central tower.

The snowflakes were falling slowly, and in the cold wind, two flags representing the Scarrant family's [Red Background Gold Thread Six-Pointed Star] were erected at the entrance, and the hunting sound was blown, because all the combat power was gathered at the city wall, so there were no knight guards at the gate of the tower, only a few handmaidens with hurried faces went in and out.

And a maid with a beautiful face, short silver hair and sapphire-like eyes stood at the door expressionlessly, she saw Brandon walking briskly from a distance with Joshua and Hotaru, so she naturally greeted her, and whispered to Brandon: "Sir, Madame is in the bedroom now, and she is not in a very good state...... Let's go check it out first. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

The blonde swordsman's eyes were full of worry, but just before he was ready to leave, he turned back to the warriors with a hint of apology and said, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... now"

"Needless to say."

Stretching out a hand, Joshua shook his head, stopped the other party's explanation, and said briefly, "Go quickly." ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Brandon said to the silver-haired and blue-eyed maid, "Miss Night, you can take the two distinguished guests to the reception room, and I will be there later." ”

"Yes."

Hearing that the maid with a calm face had agreed, the blonde swordsman turned his head and immediately set off, walking towards the depths of the tower, with hurried and unusually anxious steps.

“……”

He is really a good man who cares for his wife.

I didn't have time to continue to sigh, the blue-eyed and silver-haired, Miss Night's maid was already standing in front of Joshua and Hotaru, she lowered her head, bowed slightly, and continued to say softly in her previous voice without a trace of emotion: "Please follow me, the reception room is not far away, and it will be there soon...... You can wait for Madame and Mr. in it. ”

"Thank you."

Without saying a word, the black-haired warrior followed the maid lady through the tower, and after turning two corridors, a spacious room with luxurious and comfortable decoration appeared before him.

A beige plush carpet covered the floor, the smell of warmth emanated from the burning fireplace, the walls on all four sides were adorned with beautiful portraits, and next to them were a few comfortable looking chairs, and under the chandelier made of white crystal and pyroxene, a small potted plant that looked verdant was placed in the center of the large table in the center, and some blue-green lines could be seen undulating on the surface of the potted plant, light and dark, and it was a magical plant.

"If you have any requests, you can say them to the maids outside."

Standing at the door of the reception room, Ye did not enter, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if her mind was not here, but the maid lady still said dutifully in a respectful tone: "They will do their best to meet the requirements of the two distinguished guests." ”

"That's so polite."

After thinking for a while, Joshua didn't really feel polite, he looked down at his half-naked body under the attack of the black dragon's chaotic dragon breath, and then said directly: "Then please bring me a set of clothes that fit." ”

Night didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and then she turned to the maid beside her and said a few words, then simply turned around and walked towards the spiral staircase that led to the upper floor of the tower.

With the ears of a warrior, he could naturally hear that the maid lady, who had seemed very calm and quiet before, was already in a hurry, even a little hurried, as if she was very anxious.

"They're all loyal."

Sitting on the seat, Joshua said casually, and then the warrior looked sideways at Hotaru, who was standing behind him and had not spoken since the beginning, and also smiled, stretched out his hand and touched his head and praised: "Hotaru is also very loyal, he has performed really well today, many monsters have hard bones, and the spear cannot penetrate them, but under your blade, they are torn at will like papyrus...... Don't stand silly, sit down. ”

Speaking of this, the warrior seemed to remember the scene of the fierce battle, and his heart was agitated, and he couldn't help but start remembering it again.

Hearing her master's praise, Hotaru was naturally very happy, and the silver-haired god girl looked sideways at her master, expecting to see the other party's smile, but she could only find that the black-haired warrior was looking up at the ceiling of the reception room with crystal chandeliers, and his eyes were confused, as if he was recalling something he thought was very interesting.
