Chapter 162 Arrival
I saw a young man with thick eyebrows, also wearing knight armor, lighting a bonfire under a big tree.
The tree has a large crown and wide and dense leaves, so it has a good rainproof effect. Even if there are a few drops of rain, they will be quickly dried by the bonfire.
However, Ryan did not intend to go over. It was not that he was afraid, but he had no interest in dealing with such a stranger whose background he did not know.
So, Ryan planned to ride forward for a while and then find a place where he could rest alone.
It seemed that he heard the sound of horse hooves. The thick-browed knight looked up and saw Ryan dressed alone with two horses. His face was happy, and he stood up and greeted him: "Hi, I am a knight going to Rossby City to participate in the canonization assessment. Judging from your dress, I should be the same, right?"
The other party's enthusiastic expression and the way of directly introducing himself made Ryan stunned.
As if understanding Ryan's hesitation, the other party took out the purple and gold emblem that was almost exactly the same as Ryan's from his arms and showed it to Ryan.
At the same time, he said, "Look, this is a certificate badge. If you are also going to Rossby City to participate in the canonization test, you should not be unfamiliar with this thing."
"Since we meet, it is fate. Maybe when we participate in the test, we will have the opportunity to help each other a little, so don't be polite, come and take shelter from the rain."
Ryan glanced at it and knew that the badge should be real. Since the other party was so enthusiastic, it seemed a bit unkind to refuse it.
After thinking about it, Ryan controlled the black horse and rode over slowly.
"Hello, my name is Has Klein, and I am from Rossby County."
"Ryan, Meister County." Ryan nodded and said.
When Ryan jumped off the horse, he seemed to be aware of something and glanced at the dense forests on both sides, but because Ryan was wearing a knight's face helmet and turned his head very slightly, the other party did not notice this action.
It seems that there is a prying eye
And there is more than one person.
Interesting!
"Ryan, if you come from Mayest County, it will take several days, right?"
"The roads are not easy to travel in winter. Come, have a cup of hot ale to warm yourself up." Haas was very enthusiastic. He picked up the iron kettle that was heated next to the campfire and handed it to Ryan.
"Thank you, you are so polite, but I don't feel cold." Ryan raised his hand and refused the iron wine bottle handed over by Haas.
"It's raining in the ice, how can it not be cold? Come on, Ryan, don't be polite." Haas continued to greet him enthusiastically, almost stuffing the iron kettle into Ryan's arms.
This made Ryan raise his eyebrows and said, "Sir, the show is almost over, in fact, it's a bit too much."
Haas's words immediately made Haas stunned and his face changed.
He stared at Ryan for a while, and seemed to see that Ryan was not joking. He immediately stepped back and said, "How did you see that?"
However, the other party soon realized something and clapped his hands, "Pa Pa".
The trees in the dense forest shook, and a dozen people rushed out from them, holding various weapons, and a few holding crossbows. Judging from their breath, most of them were ordinary people, and a few had the strength of knights' squires.
The leader, the strong man holding a chain hammer, walked steadily and breathed long, and should have the strength of a formal knight.
"Are you a bandit group? It doesn't look like it. It's unlikely that an ordinary bandit group has two leaders at the level of formal knights." Ryan didn't care about these people, but stared at the young man named 'Hass' and asked.
"Sergey, why are you wasting time talking to this guy? Just kill him. Go!" The strong man next to him waved his hand and attacked Ryan.
Sure enough, 'Haas' was the other party's pseudonym, and Serge should be the other party's real name.
However
A sharp sword flashed, and Ryan had a two-handed sword in his hand.
"Roar!!!"
The next second, a thunderclap like a giant bear's roar sounded in everyone's ears. In an instant, most people covered their heads with their hands and fell to the ground with painful faces. The bandits with the strength of knights' squires were no exception.
Only the strong man and Serge could barely stand in place, but their eardrums were bleeding and they were stunned on the spot.
"Pudong! Pudong!"
The sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground sounded in succession.
I saw that the strong man and the guy named Serge had their legs cut off by Ryan at the thigh above the knee. At this moment, the upper body fell to the ground and blood spurted out.
"Ah!!" The two screamed at the same time.
"Now, maybe you can tell who instructed you and the origin of this certificate badge!" Ryan said calmly.
"Go to hell, you bastard, you're dead," the sturdy man continued to say stubbornly.
However, the next second, he shut up and looked at Ryan in horror!
Because Ryan walked up to one of his men and directly wiped his neck. His movements were so skillful and careless that it was as if he was killing a chicken.
The second one.
The eighth one.
Soon, a circle of bandits had died around the campfire!
The only ones left alive were the two sturdy men whose legs were cut off and the leader named Serge.
The two seemed to have forgotten the pain of their broken limbs. They looked at each other and realized that this time, they should have hit a wall.
There was no need for Ryan to say anything.
The two of them quickly told the whole story like they were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
After hearing this, Ren frowned.
There was actually a mysterious force called the Zalal Resistance Army, which secretly supported them in doing things to weaken the empire. This time they received an order to intercept and kill the young knights participating in the canonization assessment.
Of course, it would be better if they could be captured alive. If successful, not only would they be able to obtain valuable armor and weapons, but at the same time, they would also be able to collect high bounties with the purple and gold emblem.
In addition, there is actually a young knight named Haas who was drugged and is currently being held in a dense forest.
Renn killed these two people with two "swish" sword blows.
After thinking about it, he walked into the dense forest. Soon, he discovered that behind a big tree, there was a tall young man wearing a thin linen shirt. His hands and feet were chained with heavy iron shackles. At the same time, There was a piece of dirty cloth stuffed in his mouth.
When he saw Ren, who was wearing knight armor, he couldn't help but struggled.
"Dang! Dang!" Sparks flew everywhere.
Ren danced two sword flowers and instantly split the thick iron shackles.
The tall young man got out of trouble immediately. He quickly pulled out the dirty cloth in his hand and said, "Thank you for saving me! My name is Haas, and I come from Rosby County."
"Rennes, County Meister."
"Those treacherous, drugged, and despicable people were all killed by Mr. Ren?" Haas asked angrily.
"Yeah!" Renn nodded.
"That's great! These despicable guys deserve to die!" Hearing that these people were killed by Ren, Hasten burst into laughter.
Haas took off the breastplate that originally belonged to him from the strong man's body, and he and Ren started talking around the campfire.
Half an hour later.
The two people, who were already familiar with each other, were riding horses and chatting while rushing towards Rosby City.
Although Ren was not afraid of the cold, it was obviously not a good idea to sleep out in the rain on a winter night.
The two arrived at the gate of Rosby City in the evening. After showing the purple and gold emblem, the two were quickly taken to the destination of their trip - the Navy House Hotel.
At this moment, it was the red sunset, and the breeze was blowing on his face, and Renn immediately smelled a faint smell of sea.
He looked up and saw a few dozen meters ahead of him, the vast blue sea. In the clear sky, there were many white seabirds flying, including seagulls, albatrosses, etc.
Close to the coastline are densely packed white sails. Each sail represents a ship. Although the sizes of these ships vary greatly, they all seem to be civilian fishing boats and transport ships.
However, several hundred meters away, there were obviously several large four-masted sailing ships, which seemed to be some kind of warships.
Renn withdrew his gaze and looked to his left. There was a three-story house with a signboard with the words 'Navy House Hotel' hanging above the door.
Across the road from the hotel, there stood a bronze statue of a five-masted sail more than ten meters high, and a very spacious gate. Four guards in blue uniforms stood at the door.
Renn squinted his eyes and glanced, only to see the words "Sixth Squadron Base of the Imperial South Sea Fleet" written in large gold letters on the door.
Navy House Hotel?
Well, it lives up to its name, opposite is the naval base.
When the two of them entered the hotel, a waitress came up to them with a smile and said, "Excuse me, are you two knights here to participate in the canonization assessment?"
"Yes." Renn nodded.
"Please follow me. I need to register the information of you two adults with Madam Marika." the maid said as she walked.
A group of three people came to the door of a room at the end of the corridor on the first floor. The maid knocked on the door and said: "Lady Marika, a new knight has arrived."
"Come in!" A clear female voice came from the room.
There was actually a graceful female naval officer in the room. When she saw Lane and Haas coming in, she stood up and said in a very formulaic way:
"I am Marika Morales, who is responsible for contacting the Imperial Navy about the canonization assessment. If you have any questions related to the assessment, you can consult me. However, before that, you two need to verify the information."
"It's really rare to be a female major." Haas glanced at Marika's epaulettes and muttered in a low voice.
Ren glanced at it and saw that the opponent's epaulette was a pair of golden branches and leaves plus a crescent moon.
"Ren Callan, Goldshire, Meister County, fifteen years old"
Renn took off his helmet, revealing a face that was younger than Haas.
"Ren, you are only fifteen years old? Oh my God!" Haas's eyes widened and he looked at Ren in surprise and said.
However, Marika was even more surprised, thinking, although 15-year-old knights are relatively rare, you two look so familiar, don't you know each other's appearance?
"Haas Klein, 18 years old."
The heroic Marine Lieutenant Commander Malika, after registering the information of both of them, warned:
"Both of you, during the canonization assessment period, accommodation and three meals at the Navy House Hotel are free. At the same time, you two can also go to the training ground behind the hotel for training at any time."
"In addition, there is a munitions room next to it. You can buy various weapons, armors and first-aid medicines. Of course, the price may be a little more expensive than what is available on the market, but the quality is reliable."
"Oh? Do you have knight plate armor made of rare minerals?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Of course not." Marika rolled her eyes at Ryan.
"What a pity!" Ryan shrugged and said helplessly.
"Major Marika, what about the relevant information of the enthronement assessment task?" Haas rubbed his hands and asked about the assessment.
"I'm sorry, according to the joint instructions of the Imperial Navy and the Enthronement Assessment Committee, for the need of confidentiality, the specific tasks of this assessment will be announced on the day of the task." Marika shook her head and said.
"Huh? Is this a big battle this time?" Haas was surprised.
A task related to the Imperial Navy?
No wonder the hotel is the 'Navy House Hotel', and the receptionist is also a naval officer.
Ryan narrowed his eyes and thought about it.
I caught a cold and had a splitting headache!
I will try to post another chapter before 12 noon, sorry~~~
