Chapter 1

Gelu Town, Yamei province.

At the beginning of the frozen earth month, this corner town far from the center of the Canary Empire suddenly ushered in a column of silver knights with family badges and banners.

Old man parxia, an old scholar in Gru Town, stared round at the pattern on the flag and was scared into a cold sweat.

The tiger treads on the python, and the python wraps around the full moon.

Parxia's neighbor is Tim, the only blacksmith in town. Seeing the old neighbor's look, Tim smoked a hookah and asked in wonder, "Hey, old man, what's your expression... Do you know the origin of these knights?"

Parsha took a deep breath and whispered to Tim, "if I'm not mistaken, the pattern on the flag seems to be the emblem of the mon family."

Munn family?! Tim listened and looked back at old man parxia.

"Are you sure you read it correctly?"

Without waiting for parxia's answer, Tim seemed to think of something. As soon as he shook his whole body, he turned and slipped into his narrow blacksmith's shop, tied the door, and looked like a trembling man.

Parxia shook his head when he saw Tim's advice through the blacksmith's window. In the past, the two bad friends would have laughed at each other, but today, the Munn family inexplicably came to Gru town. Considering the Munn family's functions in the Empire, Tim's advice also has an explanation.

Parxia recalled the rumors he had heard at the hunter's tavern in the city.

The Munn family, known as the backbone of the Canary Empire, has produced at least six military generals for hundreds of years and made great military achievements in resisting the invasion of the enemy many times. Moreover, in every war, members of the Munn family do not hide in a safe shelter to tell what to do. Every member of the family is a soldier of the front-line pioneer camp, not afraid of fighting, but brave and resourceful. Such a proud family naturally mastered the military lifeline of the Empire.

Recently, the Canary Empire and the neighboring country Hailan are in a state of war. The border of Hailan Dynasty is not far from Gelu town. At this time, the Knights of mon family come... Maybe that's why.

Parxia guessed that there were two purposes, conscription or defense, maybe both.

Either purpose is fatal to blacksmith Tim. Because the recruitment law of the Canary Empire clearly stipulates that in the towns included in the recruitment area in wartime, each family must give a young adult, or pay 100 gold coins to obtain a recruitment free token. He is the only man in the Tim family, and he happens to be in the age of conscription. If he is conscripted, there will be no guarantee for his wife and daughter's life in the future. As for paying gold coins? In the whole town of Gru, perhaps only the PAT family can deposit 100 gold coins. You know, one gold coin is enough for his family's living expenses for half a year.

After experiencing the initial surprise, parxia quickly returned to normal. He is an old bachelor. Now he is approaching his twilight years and is not within the scope of conscription, so he is not worried. Even, I was interested in observing the trend of the mon family.

Eh, they didn't find the mayor of Gru town. Isn't it a conscription?

Parxia continued to observe. Instead, the iron hooves went to another place.

That, even in the frozen moon, is still full of luxuriant Viscount Pat's residence!

……

Pat estate.

Two maids in beige linen headscarves were working and whispering.

The object of their gossip is the two young masters of the PAT family.

"The master and his wife have been dead for two years. According to the law of the Empire, the frost month after the frozen moon this year is the time for the young master to inherit the title." The young maid with apple face said with a little worry: "I don't know if the situation of the second young master will change after the eldest young master inherits the title."

"Ollie, we'd better talk less about adults. However, I don't think it's necessary to tangle with your trouble. Although you work in the second young master's tea garden, the tea garden is too far away from the master's home. You may not know that the relationship between the first young master and the second young master is good! Don't worry, those rich families in the opera script have discord, and they don't live in our manor It will appear. " The pockmarked middle-aged maid smiled.

At this time, the clatter of horse hoofs sounded from the path outside the tea garden.

After a while, a knight with bronze shining armor appeared in front of them.

The horse hissed and hoofed. The knight stopped at the gate of the tea garden and took off his helmet.

This is a young brown man full of masculinity. The outline of his face is more profound against the light. His original handsome appearance is even more extraordinary at this moment.

The young man's gray green eyes swept towards the two maids. Skip Ollie directly and focus on the middle-aged maid.

"Good afternoon, maid mana."

Mana put down her bamboo basket and saluted the young knight, "good afternoon, master Leo."

Leo looked at the newly picked tea in mana's bamboo basket, and his eyes were a little helpless: "my brother is looking for the old man again?"

Mana bowed her head and said respectfully, "master angel is studying with Mr. Jon."

Leo curled his lips and whispered to himself, "study? The old man doesn't know what's wrong. He's talking about fallacies every day. His brother wants to study with him and offer tea every day. I think he's a psycho. I don't know what's wrong with his brother. He has to study with him."

Leo pulled the reins impatiently: "well, I see. You're busy. I'll go to him now."

After that, Leo took his horse between his legs and left with a swift hoof.

After a while, Leo came to the southeast edge of the manor. On a hill near the woods, there was a rather exquisite stilted wooden building. The architectural style is very unique. The cornices are tilted and two layers stand side by side. Except that one side is on the ground and connected with the main house, the other three sides are suspended and completely supported by columns.

This stilted building, regardless of its construction method, shape and style, is completely different from the architectural characteristics of the Canary empire. Even several other countries Leo has been to have no similar style.

"What a magical building! It's still standing in the air on three sides." Although Leo complained that old man Jon took his brother's attention, Leo was also quite impressed by Jon's amazing skill in architecture, but he never said it on his face. Besides, Leo has no admiration for Jon except the stilted building in front of him. Maybe the production method of the stilted building is very popular in Jon's "country"? Even though Jon had been at pat estate for nearly two decades, Leo had never known where Jon's country was.

When the fence is pushed open, the yard of the stilted building is loaded with some vegetables, melons and fruits, and the shelves on one side are covered with wilted vines. This kind of vines will produce many "hanging strings" during the harvest month, which Jon calls grapes. Lyon has eaten it. It tastes very sweet, but now the month has passed the grape season.

As soon as I opened the bamboo door of the stilted building, I saw that in a small room, a boy with exquisite facial features was buried on a parchment paper roll, dipping a quill pen in the ink on one side, recording what quickly.

Lyon approached, even if he had deliberately restrained the strength of his steps, but the copper boot armor still made a loud noise after contacting the wooden floor.

"Hey, you're here?" The boy drew a period on the leather paper and looked up at the old man. His voice was clear and clear, with a strong intimacy.

"My dear brother, angel. Listen to you, did you know I would come today?" Leon smiled.

Angel shrugged and sipped at the corners of his mouth. "I don't know. Just answering this way will show that I have more initiative."

"That's what the old man taught you?"

Angel shook his head: "do you need to teach this? Dad didn't like to talk like this before he died."

"If others misunderstand you know their intentions, so you don't speak after you come in, how do you open your mouth?" Leon raised his eyebrows.

"I'll wait for him to speak first."

"What if he keeps silent?"

Angel curled his lips: "that's embarrassing. If it's me, I'll turn around and leave to avoid more embarrassment. If the other party yells at me, there will be follow-up."

Leon smiled and nodded, not commenting on it, but looked around the room.

"Jon, what about the old man?"

As soon as Leon talked about Jon, angel's eyebrows wrinkled slightly with a little worry in his eyes: "you know, the tutor's body is getting worse and worse, and every part of his body is shrinking gradually. Just the day before yesterday, the tutor's legs were completely unable to move. The tutor just rubbed the medicine, and now he's resting upstairs."
