Chapter 134 Dawn Morning Light

?? After recording Price's treatment method on the paper, Roland put down the quill and rubbed his sore neck.

Nightingale's voice sounded beside her ear, "Your Highness, do you need me to help you relax?"

"There are more than 30 people who need to be dealt with. Let's do it later." Roland shook his head with a smile, lifted the bell beside the table and shook it a few times. The sooner he finishes these chores, the sooner he can start the universal education work in Border Town. And the exploration of Anna's new abilities made him full of expectations.

The one who was brought into the living room by the guards was a tall knight. At first glance, he was handsome and extraordinary. Compared with Carter, who had the face of a god, he was not too shy. Of course, this kind of handsomeness is a penalty in Roland's eyes. He glanced at the list, "Filin Sylt?" Unlike the others, there was a note behind the other party's name, and he read it out together, "The head of the Knights of the Lion, the first knight in the Western Region ...You really have a lot of titles."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ferlin knelt down on one knee.

"I thought that people like the captain and the first knight would take the lead in charging on the battlefield," Roland raised his brows, "How did you survive?"

"I hid behind." He said frankly, "As long as the horse's stride is controlled, it looks like it is sprinting with all its strength, but in fact the horse's speed will not increase much."

Such a straightforward answer surprised Roland. He thought that the other party would find some excuses to cover up the fact that he was afraid of fighting and ran away. It seems that this matter is not as simple as he thought.

Sure enough, Feilin quickly continued: "On the morning of the third day of your pursuit, that is, the day the Duke was defeated, I followed him all the time, trying to find a chance to end him. It's a pity that he has a large number of personal guards, and they are very posted. It's tight, I couldn't find a suitable opportunity to attack. Fortunately, your troops killed him," the knight lowered his head deeply at this point, "Dear Your Highness, I am grateful for this, anyone who needs me, Please send as you please."

The last sentence can be regarded as an oath of allegiance. Roland was stunned for a moment before he said, "Stand up first. Tell me, what happened?"

"Yes," he stood up and said, "My wife, Irene, was originally a commoner woman who worked in the theater of the Longsong Fortress. <>We met in a chance encounter, and then fell in love. I want to marry her through the door, But my father and mother did not support the wedding, so I had to move out of the estate and rent a house on a farm near the fort, where the wedding was also held. Shortly after the wedding, Irene finally got her first official performance. "The knight's voice was a little low, "I didn't expect the Duke watched the drama and fell in love with her. Not long after, he broke into the house and raped Irene while I was out on a mission."

"It took me a long time to learn about this from her. I wanted to ask the Duke to clarify, but Irene knelt down and begged me not to be reckless. I also know that if I do it face to face, I don't say how likely it is to succeed , even if I kill him, I can't escape from the guards, and Irene...will probably be targeted by Duke Ryan's heir for revenge. So I endured it until he went to Border Town."

"Although I couldn't take revenge myself, Irene can finally sleep peacefully and don't have to worry about someone breaking into her room at night, and I am free from this heavy burden. So please allow me to thank you again. "

"I see." Roland tapped on the table with a quill pen. This was a signal that he and Nightingale had agreed upon in advance. When it was necessary to check whether the other party was lying, he would tap on the table. Soon, he felt Nightingale's finger pinch on his left shoulder blade, which meant that the other party's statement was true... It's just that the pinch was slightly forceful, and Roland grinned. "Are you literate? How about reading and writing?"

"Uh..." Ferlin was stunned, as if he didn't follow the prince's train of thought, "I know it all."

"Then I'll make a verdict now," Roland repeated what he had repeated many times, "...what is your choice?"

"Your Highness, don't you need me to fight for you? Whether it's a solo duel or a team battle, I will—"

"No, I don't need it," Roland interrupted, "There are no nobles in my army, and I will not recruit nobles in the future. They are an army composed entirely of people. And it is impossible for you to take up arms again." Chance."

"Is...is that so?" Ferlin nodded after a long silence, "I understand. Since this is the case, I choose to become a teacher.<>"

"A wise choice. Teachers can get housing and a pretty good salary. I will send someone to bring your wife back and live here well." Roland gestured for the knight to leave.

"Please wait, Your Highness, forgive me for asking." He hesitated, "Did you say the same to other knights? If they can't become teachers, they will have to work in mines for twenty years?"

"That's right."

"...Your Highness, I have a subordinate named Haron. He is an experienced old knight, but he is illiterate. Can I exchange a golden dragon for him not to be dispatched to the mine?"

"Of course not," Roland spread his hands, "If you can redeem your crimes with money, I will let you go in the fortress."

"But he's approaching fifty, and that kind of shady work will wear him down physically."

"I don't have the stamina to mine, but I have the energy to attack Border Town?" And my mine is not a black coal mine. Not only is there a steam engine to help transport the mine and pump water, but the employees also have fixed holidays, okay? Roland picked up the bell, ready to call the next one in.

"Your Highness!" Felin gritted his teeth and knelt down again, "I have a treasure map handed down from my family. It has a history of at least four hundred years. I am willing to exchange it for Halong's freedom."

"The treasure map of four hundred years..." the prince frowned, "Are you sure your ancestors didn't just draw it with charcoal to make the younger generation happy?"

"No, that's not a trace of charcoal or ink." He shook his head slightly, as if recalling the drawing, "I can't tell what it was drawn with, the texture is very delicate, and it feels smooth and supple. It was placed in the basement It has been decades, and the graphics and text have not faded. My father said that this has been passed down from generation to generation. The location of the treasure it describes is in the depths of the Misty Forest in the northwest, but it is already a wild place. The land, ordinary people can't set foot in it at all."

Roland tapped the table again with the quill, and Nightingale still pinched the left side.

"Well, even if what you said is true, this treasure map should be hidden in the basement of Sylt's house. <> You have given up the right to inherit the territory, I'm afraid they won't be happy to see you again."

"That's true," Feilin nodded, "But I have completely memorized the content of the blueprint, and I can roughly describe the patterns and words on it."

"Then draw it and have a look," Roland pushed the pen and paper to the table, "If it's true, I can make an exception to allow your request."

"Your Highness is merciful." He walked to the table and began to draw the treasure map.

In fact, Dawn Chenguang Feilin Silt is not only good at fighting, but also talented in painting and calligraphy. Soon, a rough topographical map appeared in front of Roland.

The area shown in the graphic is behind the Impassable Mountains. The continuous mountains occupy the lower right corner of the entire paper. An equilateral triangle is drawn in the center of the drawing. Three acute angles connect three locations, one of which falls at the foot of the northern slope. At the end, another point is in the hidden forest, marked with a six-pointed star, probably the so-called treasure location.

But Roland's attention was completely attracted by the apex of the triangle, which was located in the wilderness, represented by a zigzag hill, with the word "Taquila" written on it.
