Chapter 32 Loyalty
The sky faded away, the stars and the moon did not go away, and as the clouds rolled, it started to snow again.
The sky, which was originally broken and torn by the star arc, was once again covered with clouds under the encouragement of the wind, and the faint snowflakes gradually fell. At first, almost no one noticed it, but later it turned into velvet snow like willow catkins and dandelions, and then it became snow like goose feathers.
Moldova is closer to the north than Moldavia, and half of the year is covered in ice and snow.
In the snow, on the city wall, the resting knights were waiting for the notice of the orderly soldiers who arranged their residence. They wore armor and took off their helmets, put their weapons next to the war horses, breathing quietly, and occasionally a gentle conversation came from the crowd.
"Hey, the shadow that suddenly appeared just now should be the adult maid, right?"
Near the spiral staircase, a young knight with good eyes saw his lord and the blonde golden swordsman walking quickly towards the central tower on the side, and a silver shadow was caught in the corner of his eyes.
He immediately turned to his companion beside him and said, "I wanted to ask before, why did the lord take his maid with him. He had been on the road and had no time to rest in the middle... And the young lady disappeared from the middle and didn't know where to go, so why did she suddenly appear again?"
"Don't worry about so many things."
A knight-god who seemed very experienced was there, shook his head and said, "You don't need to explain anything to you... In other words, the question you asked is meaningless at all, and do you know the profession of Shadow Guard?"
"What is that?"
"You can understand by listening to the name."
The young knight was full of curiosity, and the old knight was happy to answer: "Generally speaking, in order to ensure their safety, big men usually bring a few guards and elite soldiers whether they go out or fight. Even if our lord is so powerful, there will be occasional crisis... But ordinary guards cannot always be by their side, so the profession of shadow guard appears like this."
He explained patiently: "Shadow Guards have a ability called Shadow Hiding. They can lurk in someone's shadow and follow the targets they need to guard at any time. Of course, they can also be used for assassination, but compared to similar Shadow Assassins, their power is more inclined to defense."
"According to rumors, I heard that the old Count's housekeeper, Mr. Fan is a shadow guard. If this young maid is not surprised, he should be Mr. Fan's junior or apprentice. When she disappeared, she should have sneaked into the shadow of the adult."
"maybe……"
"You guys are so long-winded. What's the point of talking about like this."
Another knight also joined the topic, and the guy said casually: "What kind of profession does her disappear? Anyway, the lord has not spoken, 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.”
After a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement. The knight who was originally talking immediately gave up thinking about such meaningless things. They shrugged and said, "It has nothing to do with us anyway, just take care of our own battle."
Miss Shenji naturally wouldn't know that she had become an inexplicable shadow guard in the eyes of others. God knows how they guessed it, but it's not a big deal.
With the rapid footsteps, the three of them had arrived at the central tower.
Snowflakes fell slowly in the sky. In the cold wind, two flags representing the Scarrant family's [Red-bottomed and Golden Line Hexagram] stand at the entrance, blowing sounded. Because all the combat power was gathered at the city wall, there were no knight guards at the gate of the tower, only a few maids with a hurry in and out.
A beautiful maid with short silver hair and sapphire eyes stood at the door with expressionless expression. She saw Brandon walking quickly from a distance with Joshua and Firefly, and naturally came forward and whispered to Brandon: "Sir, Madam is in the bedroom now, and she is not in good condition...You go and have a look first."
"Okay, I'll go right now!"
The blonde swordsman's eyes were full of worries, but just before he was about to leave, he turned back to the warrior and his party with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, I'm now..."
“No need to say more.”
With one hand stretched out, Joshua shook his head, stopped the other party's explanation, and said briefly: "Go quickly."
After breathing a sigh of relief, Brandon said to the silver-haired and blue-eyed maid: "Miss Ye, take two distinguished guests to the reception room, I'll be there later."
"Yes."
After hearing the calm-looking maid's maid agree, the blonde swordsman turned his head and immediately set off, walking towards the depths of the tower, in a hurry and extremely anxious.
“…”
He is really a good man who cares about his wife.
Before she could continue to sigh, the maid named Ye, with blue eyes and silver hair, had already stood in front of Joshua and Ying. She lowered her head, bowed her head, and then continued to say softly in the previous voice without any emotion: "Please follow me, the reception room is not far away, and you will arrive soon... You can wait for the arrival of your wife and gentleman."
"Thank you."
Without saying anything, the black-haired warrior followed the maid in the tower. After turning two corridors, a spacious room with a luxurious and comfortable decoration appeared in front of him.
Beige plush carpet covered the ground, and the warm atmosphere came from the burning fireplace. Exquisite portraits were hung on the walls on all sides, and next to them were a few seats that looked very comfortable. Under the chandeliers made of white crystal and pyroxene, a small pot with green looks was placed in the center of the large table in the center. You can see some green patterns rising and falling on the surface of the potted plant, with light and darkness, which is a magical plant.
"If you have any requests, you can tell the maids outside."
Standing at the door of the reception room, Ye did not go in. Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if her mind was not here. However, the maid still said dutifully in a respectful tone: "They will try their best to meet the requirements of the two distinguished guests."
"You're so kind."
After thinking for a while, Joshua was not really polite. He looked down at his half-naked body under the attack of the black dragon's Chaos Dragon Breath, and then said directly: "Then please give me a set of fitted clothes."
Ye did not answer, but nodded slightly. Then she turned her head and told the maid beside her a few times. Then she simply turned around and walked towards the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor of the tower.
With the warrior's ears, it was naturally possible to hear that the maid who had looked very calm and quiet before was already in a hurry, even a little hurry, as if very anxious.
"Everyone is very loyal."
Sitting in the seat, Joshua said casually, and then the warrior turned his head to look at the Firefly who had not spoken behind him and smiled, stretched out his hand to touch his head and praised: "Feng is also very loyal. Today, he performed well. Many monsters have hard bones and cannot penetrate through the gun, but under your blade, they are torn apart like straw paper... Don't stand stupidly and sit down."
Speaking of this, the warrior seemed to remember the scene during the fierce battle, and his heart was filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but start to recall it again.
