my age of magic

Chapter 1463 13. Princess Yingli
The sound of horseshoes stepping on the stone road of the pier makes a crisp sound of "tap, tap"...

The two master knights of the guard battalion rushed over to the pier from the Square of the Gate of the Icon. The main streets of water cities like Haiyinsi are composed of waterways extending in all directions, matching the pedestrian stone streets on both sides of the street. And a large number of arched stone bridges form the traffic network in the city.

Due to the traffic situation in Haines City, the guard battalion is mainly composed of kayak guards, but in some main squares and municipal buildings, as well as some main streets and docks, knights on tall horses are still the main force for maintaining law and order. .

It can be seen that the Green Empire's obsession with knights has penetrated deep into their bones.

The Gate of the Icon is one of the most important buildings in Haines City. There are many guard battalion knights patrolling near the Gate of the Icon. The boatman sent by Morad quickly called the two guard battalions. knight.

The fur of the two war horses was as black as satin, and the knight sitting on the saddle was wearing gorgeous silver-plated armor. The weather in Haiyinsi City was hot, and the two knights were shirtless under their armor, without linen shirts. The silhouette is very three-dimensional, the eye sockets are sunken, the bridge of the nose is straight, the skin is fair, and the strong muscles are set against the silver-plated armor, which looks like a marble statue on the municipal square.

When the young nobleman Morad and his friends saw the two belated knight masters, they felt as if they had seen their relatives. The two knights rushed over, and the crowd on the pier immediately separated to the two sides. Make way for knight gentlemen.

Immediately on this luxury yacht, a boatman ran off the boat carrying a wooden bench, and someone led the horses for the two master knights. The two knights stretched out their hands vigorously, jumped off the horses lightly, and pressed their hands on their waists. On the hilt of his sword, he boarded the yacht with a serious face.

The two master knights came among us, their gazes first fell on the magic wand in Yingli's hand, the fear in their eyes flashed away, and then their gazes fell on the group of Morad, who was just about to meet the two knights Greeting, but was interrupted by a knight.

One of the knights of the guard battalion first looked around the field, then turned to us and asked, "Who called us?"

Morad stepped out from the crowd and said to the two master knights that it was them.

"What happened?" the knight asked.

The young nobleman Morad hurriedly told the whole story.

The two knights looked at each other, they looked towards us, and asked a little cautiously: "Aren't you from Haiyinsi?"

Yingli wanted to stand up and show his identity, but I secretly pulled him away. I took a step ahead and said to the knight: "We came from the imperial capital, and we heard people say that Haiyinsi's icon gate was very well built. Hongwei, this time I passed by Haiyinsi City and came to pay my respects, just happened to see this group of people embarrassing two civilians, so I stepped forward to stop them."

The knights looked around again, and saw that the crowd of onlookers were silently staring at this side, and nodded with serious expressions.

Seeing what I said, Morad quickly said to the knight: "This group of foreigners had some disputes with us when we were in the Icon Square, so we took the opportunity to interfere when we were dealing with a thief on our own ship. us."

The friends around the young noble also nodded, and said one after another: "That's right, relying on their status as magician nobles, they brazenly flouted the laws of the Grimm Empire and the charter convention of Haiyinsi City, so please invite the two knights to Put them in Hai Yinsi's prison."

The two knights said righteously: "Whether these foreigners are guilty or not is up to the judges of the House of Representatives to decide. Of course, since magicians are involved, Haines Magic Association jurors need to be invited. Before the House of Representatives makes a decision , I also ask you to stay in Haiyinsi for the time being, and wait for the House of Representatives to hear the trial at any time. We will bring that civilian thief back to the guard camp..."

It can be seen that the two knights of the guard battalion do not want to cause trouble for themselves. It can be seen from their expressions that they even feel a little dissatisfied that they have been involved in such a trivial matter. There have always been conflicts.

As the traditional aristocratic forces of the Grimm Empire gradually declined, the new aristocratic forces with mages as the main members gradually rose. The old and new forces frequently had some disputes on the issue of resource allocation. Regarding this sensitive political issue, of course the guard camp If you can avoid it, try to avoid it. In the eyes of these two knights, the problem with this matter is that hateful thief. As long as this commoner thief is brought back and convicted, as for the others, no one will Injury, how can there be so many right and wrong in that kind of thing.

At this time, a group of skuas flew by in the sky, screaming loudly above their heads, as if they were mocking the two master knights.

Seeing the knight from the guard battalion pointing the finger at the boy, Yingli stood beside me and questioned the knight's decision: "He didn't steal anything, he wasn't a thief! Why didn't you investigate and jump to conclusions?"

Hearing what Yingli said, the two guard battalion knights also frowned, and explained to Yingli under pressure: "So many nobles here have identified him as a thief, and he appeared on this yacht without invitation. Doesn't that show that he has a mind to steal?"

I saw Sora sitting on another boat and the boy in her arms, and asked him in a blunt tone: "If I have the idea of ​​killing him now, would you think I'm a murderer?"

My words instantly choked the two knights speechless, after a sigh of relief, one of the knights spread his hand and said to us: "We just want to take him back to the guard camp to check the situation. "

At this time, Ying Li also said stubbornly: "If this matter cannot be resolved on the spot, then we will all go to the guard camp."

The two knights of the guard battalion saw that we were so stubborn, and they were also said to be a little angry, and said to us unceremoniously: "Well, don't think that being a magician nobleman has extra privileges... "

Ying Li seldom lost her temper, and her tone was a bit aggressive at this time. She said to the two knights in the guard camp: "As a witness, what's wrong with you returning to the guard camp?"

The knight said to Ying Li with a stern face: "Since you insist on returning to the guard camp with me, of course we will not refuse." After speaking, he boarded our rented boat and reached out to grab the trembling man boy.

Helena and Becky stood in front of Sora and the boy, refusing to back down. The weapons in their hands were pointed at the two knights of the guard battalion, preventing the two master knights from approaching.

At this time, the owner of the boat stood in the stern a little stupidly. Few people dared to openly resist these knight masters of the guard battalion like this.

Ying Li chased after the two knights, returned to the boat we rented, pointed to Moras and the others and said to the two knight masters: "Since we are going to the guard camp, shouldn't they go with us? "

Of course, these two knights didn't want to cause trouble, and just about to find an excuse to shirk, Ying Li immediately said: "If you dare to let them go at this time, I will go to the Magic Guild to appeal immediately!"

It seems that Yingli's sentence is quite effective. The two knights stopped immediately and said helplessly to Yingli: "We are only responsible for recording the disputes between you, and the judgment rests with the House of Representatives. The Speaker will give you the fairest verdict."

Ying Li retorted: "We are all witnesses to that child, and we can all prove that he did not steal anything. Aren't you going to deal with this matter? They are the informants, shouldn't they go to the guard camp together?"

Hearing what Yingli said, the two knights looked at each other in blank dismay, then turned around and walked onto the yacht, talking to Moras and the others.

Standing in front of me, Yingli said to me with an apologetic face, "Jijia, let's go to the guard camp with them!"

It's as if she has to bear some responsibility for such a bad public security problem in Haiyinsi City.

I touched the magic badge of the Marquis in my pocket, and reminded Ying Li: "Actually, I can tell them my identity... mine is fine."

Unexpectedly, Yingli shook his head stubbornly, and said to me: "Not everyone has our status. The Green Empire lacks a law on the protection of civilians. If the imperial capital can promulgate this law in the future, I hope that Hai Yinsi will The first cities to implement this decree."

After saying this, Ying Li glanced over the pier and looked at the gate of the icon in the distance.

……

Therefore, our original plan for the trip to the Magic Tower was changed to being invited to drink tea in the guard camp. The young nobles including Moras were also invited back by the two knights. It was about to drip, and after entering the gate of the guard camp, he sat in the hall without saying a word.

Kong Zhen led the boy into the guard camp with a pale face. The boy was terrified, shivering and shivering in Kong Zhen's arms. Kong Zhen asked me worriedly, and said sorry to me, no It's time to involve us, and worry about affecting us.

Yingli glanced at me, his eyes clearly said, why does Kongma not know our identities?

I shrugged my shoulders at Ying Li without explanation.

I used to be like this!I remembered that when I was in the caravan, I didn't even have the status of a commoner in the Grimm Empire. At that time, I was just a child wandering in the wasteland with the old orc.

At this time, Ying Li took the opportunity to say a few words of comfort to Kong Zhen, and Kong Zhen's pale face recovered a little bit of blood.

It seems that those knight lords deliberately wanted to hang us here. They invited Moras and the young nobles in and recorded the whole story in detail. We had to wait in the hall of the guard camp, while the boys were He was locked in an iron cage where we could see him, holding on to the railing of the cage with both hands, looking pitifully at Kongzhen outside the cage.

At this time, a group of nobles wearing gorgeous dresses walked in outside the hall of the guard camp. The nobleman at the head was wearing an earl's badge on his chest. When he walked into the hall, almost everyone in the hall of the guard camp stood up to pay tribute to him. .

The nobleman walked inside without saying a word with a straight face, while the knights along the road avoided to the sides.

The guide in front led him to the door of a room. He pushed open the door and strode into the room where Morad was invited to drink tea. A man's dull voice came from the room:

"Morad, why are you here? Didn't you say that there will be a dance to welcome Princess Yingli at night, what are you doing with the guard camp? Can't you ask your subordinates to do something?"

Then, another voice came from the room: "Your Excellency, why are you here?"

The dull voice of the aristocratic Earl Gogas came back again, the voice was sonorous and powerful, and he assumed a posture of a superior, and said to the voice: "I heard that Morad was invited to the guard camp by you, and the Marquis sent me to take a look. ,What on earth happened?"

Another voice in the room seemed a bit lacking in confidence, explaining again and again: "It's just a trivial matter, a thief quietly boarded Master Morad's yacht and was caught on the spot. The thief is innocent, so we will invite Master Morad back to the guard camp to verify the situation."

"Outlanders... nobles?" Earl Gorgas' dull voice was like a heavy hammer.

"It's the magic guild... the magician nobles." Another voice lowered his voice and explained.

Earl Gaugas said very dissatisfied: "Don't you think it's time to put it aside for a while, don't you think the speaker is not annoying enough? Find a way to let those magicians hang out, and they will leave when they get impatient. If they complain to the Magic Guild, I will mention this matter to Lord Miller."

"I know what to do, Your Excellency Gorgas." There was clearly a taste of flattery in that voice.

A man spoke in such a tone, and I couldn't help shivering all over.

"Very good." Gorgas's dull voice came back again, and he said to Morad: "Morad, why are you still standing here, take your friends with me, someone needs to arrange for the dance , Since Princess Yingli left Haiyinsi, this is the first time she has come back, we must leave a good impression on her."

While talking, I saw the Earl Gaugas in gorgeous clothes leading Moras out of the room, talking while walking, and he didn't even look this way.

Morad and a group of young nobles accompanied Earl Gaugas, and said as they walked, "Uncle Gaugas, didn't you say that Princess Le Die is the successor of the South Wind Legion?"

It seems that everyone here has forgotten that Yingli and I are sitting on the other side of the hall.

Hearing Morad's question, Earl Gorgas glared at him, and said in a deep voice: "Could this be the reason for neglecting Princess Yingli? Even if she is not the successor of the South Wind Legion, don't forget, she is still a The future commander of the South Wind Legion is her own sister..."

"Wait, you mean Prince James' daughter is Princess Yingli?" Morad asked Gorgas with a pale face.

At this time, the group of people had already reached the gate of the guard camp. Earl Gorgas stopped at the gate, frowned at Morad, and asked, "What are you questioning?"

"Princess Yingli..." Morad looked at us with a guilty conscience, his voice became lower and lower, and he asked, "Will anyone use this name?"

At this moment, Earl Gaugas's dull voice was heard from the entrance of the hall:

"Everyone in Haiyinsi City knows that Yingli and Ledie are the names given by Mrs. Manda in Elvish language. Yingli means peace in Elvish language, and Ledie means happiness in Elvish language. What do you think of the Green Empire? Who else would use such a unique name?"
