Chapter 13: Mission (2)(1/2)
When he walked out of Yilin Castle, Elvin's expression when he said that sentence repeatedly appeared in his mind: "If something really happened there, it may have been controlled by the forces of heaven or hell. If you are asked to go to such a place to investigate, do you call this simple?"
"Is it difficult?" Alvin said to himself.
If it's just an ordinary opponent, Alvin really doesn't need to worry too much, after all, the power of the Knight's armor is obvious to all.
Which knight can fight against three Knights of the Fifth Team of the Silver Moon Knights who are wearing magic armor and holding swords of warp and latitude? Alvin doesn't believe it.
However, if the other party is a god or a demon, there will be some variables.
Alvin has seen angels and demons with his own eyes and knows how powerful they are. However, he has also seen how lichs chase angels and demons.
"Don't we have one more Lord Simon?" He laughed as he thought.
...
Under the night, the windows of Elvin's living room shine through the dim yellow light.
It was quiet around, four horses tied side by side were lowering their heads and gnawing on the horse grass, and George's guards were adding horse materials to the trough to improve the food for the war horses.
...
"Duke Beshill assigned a task to us?" George, who was eating, raised his head and looked at Alvin slightly.
"Yes, it's just a small task." Alvin said excitedly to everyone: "She needs us to go to Karp and see what's going on there now. Because she has lost contact with Karp during this period."
Matthew, who was cutting the meat in the plate, also looked up at Alvin slightly.
George asked while eating, "Why don't she just send a messenger over there, why do you want us to go?"
"Because, something unknown might have happened in that place, so she wanted us to go there. It might be a test."
"If these are all tests, the test would be too easy. Taking on this kind of task is a bit useless for us." George picked up his wine glass and was about to drink it.
"I plan to officially accept you as a member of the Fifth Team of the Silver Moon Knights if this mission goes well."
Hearing this, George's wine glass suddenly fell into the air.
Matthew's eyes frosted between the two.
Bud raised his head slightly.
Cardina looked at Elvin.
After a brief silence, George turned his face and explained to the butler Benson standing beside him: "Help me check the way to Cape and see what needs to be prepared."
After saying that, he turned back to Alvin: "When will we set off?"
"Tomorrow, we will have to walk two more days to Karp. When we arrive, the snow should have melted, just right." Alvin replied casually.
...
"Mr. Simon." Alvin gently pushed open Simon's door and whispered: "We are going to set out for Cap tomorrow to perform a mission."
"Do you need me to do anything?" Simon was staring at a shriveled apple.
"We need you to go with us because we are not sure if there are forces of heaven and hell there. If it exists, we may not be able to cope with it."
"Do you need me to find some helpers?"
"Uh... it shouldn't be necessary, but you have to wear armor. You know, ordinary people will be a little unacceptable to seeing you without being mentally prepared. I hope you don't mind me saying that."
"Oh." From beginning to end? Simon's eyes never left the shriveled apple.
"What are you looking at? Mr. Simon." Alvin stretched his neck.
"apple."
"Is there anything special about Apple?"
"There are apple seeds inside the apple? They can grow into apple trees."
"Then what?"
"Don't you think this is important?"
"Uh..." Alvin didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he had to smile awkwardly? He said, "You continue? I'll leave first."
After saying that, turn around and walk out the door? Close the door gently.
Simon was the only one left in the room again. He stared at the apple? He slowly raised his head.
A blue magic floated out of his finger bones like clouds and mist? It sank into the apple.
Suddenly, the originally still apple flew up out of thin air, and then slowly broke into particles of dust in the air, but still maintained its original shape.
It's like a cloud in the shape of an apple...
...
Alvin just returned to the living room? George hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did Mr. Simon agree?"
"Of course? He would not disagree." Elvin replied: "Mr. Simon is particularly easy to talk to."
"Okay, then I'll prepare now." George, who was originally holding hands and leaning against the dining table, quickly walked out the door.
"Do you need to prepare anything? I thought we could set out anytime."
“There are a lot to prepare!”
After George left, Alvin looked at Matthew, who was leaning on the other side, sitting on the chair.
Sighing, Matthew whispered: "I bet he will bring his guards, housekeepers, servants? Great. You should stop him."
"Why stop him?"
"Don't you think there are too many people? The target is too obvious."
"No, I think it's better to have more people." Alvin said: "Miss Irene's order is not clear? We don't even know what to look for. If there are more people, we can complete the task faster. Also? If we really don't bring too many people, we can separate from them at about the time. Wouldn't this be solved? If we don't bring them with us? And when we get to the place, we actually need more people? That's not something we can shout for a while."
"Oh, right? It seems that you like a lot of people." Matthew rolled his eyes: "Do you need me to bring all my subordinates?"
Without thinking, Alvin answered directly: "No, thank you."
Alvin thought it was okay to lead a cavalry team. At least they were well-trained and obeyed orders. It would be better to bring a bunch of hooligans.
Having said that, the other two people in the fifth team are from a large group of subordinates, and it seems that only Alvin is the single commander.
...
That night, as Alvin's father, Bud was busy, helped Alvin pack his luggage, and pulled Alvin to give a lot of advice.
"This is your first time on a mission, so you must pay attention to safety. If you see if there is something wrong with the situation, don't worry about anything and run away quickly."
"Father, I'm a knight."
"Knights can also escape, and being alive is the first priority. You have to think, what should I do if you die, the fifth team of the Silver Moon Knights? What should I do?"
"Forehead……"
"Don't eat or drink anything that others give. Live in the town as much as possible. In the past two years, it has been quite chaotic. I heard that there are some refugees, but they don't care whether you are a knight or not."
"Father, I can't even beat the refugees, right?"
"Shut up, what if they have a lot of people?"
"Forehead……"
"Don't worry about chivalrous spirit. Even if the opponent is a woman, you should not show mercy. I tell you, women are really cruel when they are cruel. Especially beautiful women."
"Are you talking about my mom?"
"Shut up! Listen to me!"
"Okay, you keep going."
Alvin sat helplessly, listening to his father chattering.
Kadina sat by her side.
...
Matthew's men also helped him pack his luggage.
"Boss, don't you just form your own team as a knight. Can we all become knights? Then you can collect taxes and no longer have to charge protection fees. This time you even brought George's men, but you won't take us?"
"George is going to fight for the qualification of a formal knight. Do I need to fight for it? I don't need it. Just stay at home, why do you do that far?"
"But we have been forfeiting the protection fee for several months. If this continues, brothers will almost not be able to get through. Otherwise, you might as well come back and take us to continue to be gangsters, right?"
Matthew slapped the other person on the back of the head and shouted, "Can you have some dreams? Is it okay to have some dreams? Do you want to be a gangster for the rest of your life?"
...
And George.
"This mission is very simple, but it is very important to the young master. So, everyone must cheer up." Butler Benson scolded everyone: "No matter what, we must make the mission complete smoothly. It also happened to let Captain Alvin see who is the core force of the fifth team! Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The entire seven cavalry responded in unison.
George sat quietly beside him without saying a word.
...
One night passed, and the next morning, the three of them gathered at the intersection of Baicheng leaving the city, and they all wore heavy armor. Of course, Simon also wore one, riding Bud's horse.
To be continued...
