Scene 282 Encounter of Fate

Freya took a step forward. She was wearing the silver-plated armor of the knights of the imperial army. The gold rim inlaid on the silver-white armor was dyed with a hazy halo under the moonlight in the forest. A silver tassel representing rank—it seemed she should be the leader of the group of knights. She stopped for a while, looked at the manor that was about to become ruins, and said, "We are the knights of Her Royal Highness, may I help you?"

"No, no need, it's nothing." The young count also saw the identities of these knights, and he quickly shook his head and replied, not wanting to make trouble.

These words made the knight girl frown. After all, she is no longer the ignorant country girl she used to be. The future Valkyrie raised her head and looked suspiciously at the Earl of Swallow Castle and his party—the moonlight was walking on the clouds, and at this moment, it happened to penetrate the hole in the roof and sprinkle a piece of cold silver splendor on the dilapidated stairs, reflecting The figures of several people - Freya couldn't help being stunned for a moment, she was surprised that there was such a beautiful and lovely boy, but her brows like sharp swords immediately frowned, and the two people behind Delphiri suddenly became aroused. She caught her attention, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that those two people were very suspicious.

Brando suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly lowered his head. This girl from the Butch countryside became much calmer after half a year of studying at the Knight Academy. Her suspicious eyes gave him the illusion of being exposed.

He secretly yelled that it was not good, if he was called out by the other party at this time, it would really be over. Freya didn't know what they were doing. Kidnapping nobles would require beheading. Of course, according to Shire's words, if his lord wanted to hang the noose around his neck, he would probably have to stretch the noose more than ten times. , but Brando didn't want his plan to come to naught after all.

"My lord, do you think Miss Freya recognized us?" Charles couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and asked cautiously through telepathic interrogation.

Brando cursed Crow's Mouth in his heart, and Earl Yanbao finally reacted at this time. This beautiful young man from the Northland seemed unwilling to keep these royal knights here, and Delfery quickly found an excuse and said, "Ma'am, please don't worry, it's just that one of my subordinates made a small mistake while experimenting with spells." , I will call someone to deal with this right away, but it makes everyone laugh."

As soon as the words came out, Brando and Charles both let out a long breath.

It is not surprising that most nobles usurped one or two wizards as their retainers. But Freya always felt that this noble boy was not telling the truth. She raised her head and looked at Brando and Shire again, muttering in her heart: "Strange guy." A bunch of noble knowledge, although most of them don't remember it, but at least they know that the nobles have more or less their own secrets, and understand that they can't stay here and be an annoying guy.

In fact, she just came to see if there was any emergency after hearing the explosion.

Now that the other party has indicated that they don't need their help, they think about it and prepare to leave.

However, at this time, the guards who had just been sent back to the gate by Del Ferry were escorted back. Brando looked up, and suddenly yelled bitterly. It turned out that another group of knights came to the gate of the manor at some time. Their armor was similar to that of Freya, except that there were a few more tassels on the cloak— — Serving royal knights, these people are much more difficult to deal with than the cadets of the Knight Academy, Brando hurriedly lowered his head again.

"It should be the immediate commander of this group of non-commissioned officers, but I don't know who the guard knight captain next to Her Royal Highness is at this time, is it Dundon or Doce?" Brando sorted out the clues while bowing his head. Well, thinking about it, it is impossible for the cadets to act alone, there must be full-time knights patrolling with these young people; now it seems that Freya is just playing a forward, and the names of the two knight commanders quickly flashed in his mind. If he remembered correctly, the knight commander who was beside the half-elf princess at this time should be one of these two people.

Dundon and Doce are not well-known NPCs in the Amber Sword, but as supporters of the royal family, Brando also took over their tasks. If he remembers correctly, the strength of these two people is also But it's only at the peak level of silver, and it's not even considered a first-class figure in the Royal Party faction.

He lowered his head and speculated secretly, but he didn't expect that his always accurate predictions came to nothing this time. The knights quickly approached, and the leading knight spoke with a female voice: "What happened?"

His voice was low and calm, and his tone was full of undoubted seriousness. When Brando heard this voice, he seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt falling from the sky, and his whole body froze. He raised his head as if he had seen a ghost, and just saw the calm and indifferent expression on the female knight's face.

This voice... who is this woman?

He saw the golden tassel on the side of Nimesis's cloak at a glance-the knight commander, but Brando can swear by his honor as an old player who has experienced almost all the historical changes of Eruin, from the blooming years to During the ten years of the Year of the Blade, there was absolutely no female high-ranking member of the Royal Knights, not to mention the high-ranking, there were almost no women above the Grand Knights.

But the female knight's voice that really surprised him, he would never hear it wrong, that voice was so clear even in a dream, at that moment he almost thought he was back more than ten years ago, the senior sister was standing there In front of all of them, she led them with her sword; he closed his eyes, as if turning back the time, that indifferent, calm, but warm face that made people feel peaceful when he smiled appeared again in front of him.

He almost blurted out the familiar name, but he endured it. Nimesis was born in Sifah, and inherited the snow-like skin of the people of Sifah. Her long black hair against the white skin shone like obsidian. She was born as an admirable beauty embryo. It is widely circulated among knights.

It's just that in Brando's view, although the female knight is strangely full of a temperament similar to that of the senior, the two are not the same person after all.

He couldn't help taking a breath, his heart was full of surprises, but in the end he returned to the original question - who is this woman? Brando knows that he will never remember wrongly. Unless history has changed, there will never be a high-ranking female knight in the Royal Party, although he knows that because of the arrival of his "butterfly", history will sooner or later There were changes, but what caught him off guard was that he didn't expect that such historical changes would be reflected in such details first.

This doesn't seem to make sense at all.

He heard Freya call the female knight Nimesis, and Brando swore that he had never heard such a name before, although he could not know all the nobles, big and small, and even noble ladies of Eruin one by one. background, but some well-known NPC Brando is confident that he will not miss it. Becoming a knight commander at such a young age shows that this woman is definitely not an ordinary person, but it is a pity that Brando racked his brains and couldn't think of such a person.

There are two possibilities before him now. The first possibility is that Nimesis is just a pseudonym, and there may be a famous person he knows hidden behind this name. But Brando, at least so far, hasn't connected the female knight in front of him with those famous people, large and small, in memory. This woman seems to have appeared out of thin air.

Then there is the second possibility, that history may have really changed because of his arrival, and even this change not only affects the subsequent history of Aruin, but even the forward history has also changed. This kind of change is completely unpredictable, that is to say, if this possibility exists, that is to say, Brando should not be surprised to find that Her Royal Highness is actually a cute boy that day.

Brando frowned deeply and stared at Nimesis who came suddenly, but at this time the female knight had already turned her head to listen to Freya finish repeating the words of the Earl. She raised her head, as if she had noticed Brando's gaze, and cast her gaze in this direction. The female knight had a pair of dark black eyes, with a faint silvery gleam on her eyelids. Her gaze was just opposite to Brando's. Both of them were slightly taken aback - Brando wasn't sure if the other party had noticed him, because Nimesis quickly turned her head away, as if nothing had happened; she didn't even plan to get off the horse, and simply sat He expressed his greetings to Delferry. The Yanbao family has never had any connection with Aruin's aristocratic circle, so it seems that the Royal Party has never thought of this ancient family. Nimesis's etiquette is meticulous, but that's all. Brando saw her look at Delferry with strange eyes twice in a row, but in the end he didn't say anything, and soon took the knights to prepare left.

"What did she notice?" Brando thought, staring in that direction.

When the female knight walked to the gate of the manor, she turned her head for the first time, and her distant glance was immediately captured by Brando keenly. This confirmed his previous feelings. Both of them seemed to feel that the other was a bit weird at the same time. At this time, Brando had put aside those messy thoughts before, and he suddenly worried whether this woman had seen through their identities—because she It was obvious that he didn't listen to Delferry's words before.

This is a difficult character to deal with, he let out a sigh of relief, but still thought that the other party would not be able to figure out his identity anyway. An envoy disguised as a nobleman went to a meeting to decide the future fate of this kingdom. I am afraid that no one in this world would have thought of such a bold thing, except him.

However, similar to what Brando had guessed, when Nimesis turned around in the thick twilight outside the gate of the manor, the doubt in her heart was actually just Brando's strange eyes. Her strength is not obvious in the Knights, and she is famous for her swordsmanship. Most people only know that she is a close friend of the princess and the number one swordsman among the princess's attendants. It came to Brando's sight.

She lowered her head, and Freya next to her immediately sensed the confusion in the adult's heart, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, Sir Knight Commander? Have you noticed those two suspicious guys?" It looked like a girl She has always been worried about Brando and Charles, especially after leaving the manor, she felt more and more familiar with those two people but couldn't think of Brando for a while.

Think about it too, how could Brando appear here. Freya subconsciously drew this conclusion for herself.

"Huh?" Nimesis looked at the young girl who had just recently been selected among the candidate knights, and asked puzzledly, "Two?"

"Yeah, two, senior sister, weren't you looking over there just now?" Freya asked: "I always think they look familiar, I wonder if they are fugitives on the arrest warrant, but unfortunately I can't remember for a while Yeah. Look at the sneaky way they dress up, I used to see guys like that crossing the border when I was in Butch."

She speaks of the outlaws and fugitives, of whom Madara is a paradise.

"En." Nimesis only replied, "Forget it, one thing more is worse than one thing less."

Freya looked at her female officer, she obviously didn't want to talk anymore, so she sighed and kept silent.
