Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

The knight first performed chivalrous etiquette, and then expressed his apology when he spoke.

"The convoy is lost?"

When Lin Yu heard the knight say this, he felt something was wrong.

How could a business caravan get lost? The maps they have are updated regularly and the caravans also keep in touch with each other.

They can tell whether the road is easy to travel on, whether there are bandits, and even whether the geology can withstand the passage of a convoy based on traces on the ground.

As long as their fleet is professional, such problems will not occur.

"Something is wrong, but these people seem very sincere. I really don't understand what they mean, or whether they were sent by the earl to cause trouble."

"And don't you remember that knight? You saw him when you entered the capital before."

"The knight who checked your identity."

Al walked to Lin Yu's side.

He also got up at this time, and now he and Lin Yu had obviously the same idea.

"Wait a minute, I know what you mean, but if I heard correctly, you have been following me since then."

Lin Yu was startled.

"There are no real chance encounters in this world. All encounters have a purpose."

Al shrugged.

After Al said this, Lin Yu did remember that at that time, Lin Yu was still sitting in Priscilla's carriage.

Lin Yu also remembered the knight's name, Julian.

However, Julius obviously did not recognize Lin Yu. He had probably met Lin Yu quite a few times, even though Lin Yu was still openly recognized as the woman's husband.

But having only met once, Julian probably didn't have a very deep impression.

Although Lin Yu knew Yulius, he could not recognize the woman standing next to him.

Rem and Ram graciously accepted Yurius's request to rest here.

Because it was not a complete convoy, only Julius and the woman beside him entered the Roswaal mansion to rest.

The convoy would be stationed outside the mansion, taking up only some space and water.

Of course, Yurius will also give some rewards.

When Yulius and the woman came in, Lin Yu's eyes met theirs.

The woman and Julius nodded to Lin Yu and Al as a greeting.

Lin Yuzheng wanted to try to contact them and find out some information about why they came here.

It just so happened that Rem and Ram were planning to cook.

Although Lin Yu and Al were not welcomed, they were guests invited by the Earl after all.

So the four of them sat at the dining table.

Rem and Ram stood at the back. The meal was not luxurious, but it had everything that was needed.

The only thing missing is probably Roswaal as the master.

In such occasions, Roswaal was not there, but the guests from both sides met.

Although everyone was a guest, it was just an ordinary lunch and there was no special meaning to it.

But when we were face to face, we didn't feel very familiar with each other and didn't know how to start a conversation.

The knight and the princess are inherently cautious and not active.

"When will Roswaal come back?"

Al asked.

"We don't know about this. The Earl never tells us what he does outside."

"Of course, if you have anything to say, it's the same if you tell me."

Ram whispered.

"Where are you two from?"

Al was good at livening up the atmosphere, and he took the initiative to talk to the knight and princess in front of him.

Of course there was no preparation and no concern.

He was even direct in his speech.

The woman opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the knight.

"I am a knight of the kingdom, and this is the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Anastasia Hesin."

"I am here to perform the mission of escort."

Yurius said softly.

"Oh, that's right. Since you are a knight of the kingdom, you should know me, Al, a wanted criminal."

Al said suddenly.

Lin Yu almost vomited what he had just eaten.

The impact of these words was too great, and they were not something that could be said in this kind of situation.

But looking at Al's expression, he seemed so calm, without the slightest hesitation.

"Wanted criminal?"

Anna was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say next.

Just watching Al's expression become horrified.

Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yu became less friendly.

Of course, these words also stunned Julian. No one would have thought that Al would be so direct.

"I didn't know it originally, or I should say I had forgotten it, but now that you've mentioned it, I have some impression of it."

Julian was silent for a moment.

He remained calm the whole time, but Lin Yu could sense his nervousness. His hand, hidden under the table, had already clenched the handle of the knife.

He was in a situation where he could take action at any time, depending on when Al would make a move.

Julius knew very well that he did not have the initiative, all he wanted was safety.

Anna looked around and found that no one was moving or even caring.

The two most obvious ones are probably Rem and Ram.

They were just following the count's orders. There were only guests here, not enemies.

"Although I don't like you very much, unfortunately, you are not my target."

"I just want to ask you a few questions. Why are you here?"

Al stood his knife and fork upright on the table.

This meal was obviously not going to be as peaceful as one might imagine, and as Al spoke, a certain atmosphere began to spread throughout the table.

An atmosphere that sounds like a fight could break out at any time.

Rem and Ram wiped their hands. They had probably already made preparations for the aftermath and packed up their stalls in advance to avoid getting them dirty.

The doors and windows must also be opened, otherwise the strange smell will not be able to dissipate.

"I already said it when I came in. We are just here to stay overnight. This is true. I have no intention of doing anything to you."

"It's not my job to arrest you."

Yurius frowned.

He probably didn't expect Al to press on like this.

"Why do you need to stay overnight?"

Al asked.

"We are lost and have lost our way. It was not today, but yesterday. We got lost last night while crossing the mountains and forests, and we have not rested since then."

"We haven't closed our eyes for too long. If you ask me why we got lost, then I can't help it."

"Only this time, the path we had walked many times suddenly changed, and everything around us became extremely uncontrollable."

"It's as if the map has been modified by someone." Julius was deflated and his arms were shaking.

If Al continued to force him, he would be the first to take action.

Julius is a knight, so he has people and things he wants to protect, such as the woman sitting next to him now.

If it were just Julian alone, he would probably be much calmer than he looks now.

It was the first time that Julius felt so embarrassed when dealing with criminals.

"The modified map?"

Lin Yu and Al looked at each other.

They stood up almost at the same time and left the hall.

There was no more information to be learned from Julius, and there was no reason to continue communicating with him.

"It's really strange. Why would something like this happen? If it was my future self who used some means to get them here, it would be too ridiculous."

"Does he want Julius to take care of us?"

Lin Yu frowned.

Julius's strength is not that strong, and even ten Julius would probably not be a threat to them.

If there is really a chance, perhaps Reinhardt can do it.

But in the previous battle, Reinhard had proved that he was no match for Al.

"Maybe it's not that simple. How can we possibly know what he's thinking? Anyway, it's definitely not simple."

Al patted Lin Yu's shoulder to comfort him.

While Lin Yu and Al were chatting, it seemed that someone else came in from outside the mansion.

I knocked on the door politely in the same way. There were three people in the group.

An orc, a human, and an elderly man.

There was no information about them in Lin Yu's memory, but Al was familiar with them.

"Well, here comes the old friend again, and now things are getting more and more chaotic."

Al took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly, probably thinking deep down whether he should just kill all these guys.

If Lin Yu from the future wants them to come, Al will just let them die.

Anyway, for Al, everything is worth it for the final victory.

"Excuse me, are you the owner of this mansion?"

They came in front of Lin Yu, and there was a clear difference in how Lin Yu and Al were dressed.

Lin Yu looked like a nobleman, while Al looked more like a down-and-out knight, so they naturally thought so.

"What's matter?"

Lin Yu did not deny it, but pretended to do so.

"Sorry, we are lost, so we would like to stay here for one night."

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Crusch, and these two are my knights."

Crusch bowed slightly.

"Why do we have to stay here? Is there no place to stay outside?"

Al asked.

"I'm really sorry. Before coming here, I had already asked around in other places, and all the other places were full, so we came here."

Crusch said softly.

"All other accommodations are full? How could such a coincidence exist in this world?"

Al looked at the man in front of him suspiciously.

Crusch's two knights protected her behind them at the same time.

Lin Yu and Al's expressions remained the same, without any change.

"Don't be afraid. This is Felix, a very friendly orc. This is a knight from the capital. He was very famous in the past."

There was a kind smile on Crusch's face.

"Humph."

Al just glanced at them coldly, then turned and left.

"I'm not the owner of this mansion. If you want to ask if you can stay here, go find them."

"The owner of the mansion is away, and they are the maids here."

Lin Yu also turned around and left, but stretched out his hand to point out the location of Ram and Rem.

Rem and Ram noticed the commotion and came over.

"What? They are two strange guys. They don't look like good people. If this wasn't someone else's home, I would have taken action right away."

Felix felt like she was being washed, and her reaction was huge, she clenched her fists.

"Okay, stop talking."

Crusch called out to her.

Then they talked with Rem and Ram who came for a while. Rem and Ram were surprised at first, because they were the second group of people with considerable arguments today.

Rem and Ram originally wanted to refuse.

But there were only three people in Crusch's group, and they offered generous rewards.

So in the end, Rem and Ram had no choice but to agree.

Ram took Crusch and his group to choose a room.

Rem stayed where she was, counting on her fingers, calculating that there weren't many empty rooms left in the mansion. If more people came, there probably wouldn't be enough space.

When Rem was about to turn around and leave, the door of the mansion was pushed open again.

This time only one person came, and she was a very beautiful woman.

Lin Yu and Al stayed in the room, watching the people coming and going in the mansion. Crusch and Anna were very active.

They can become friends with just a few words.

But every time they were chatting animatedly, Julius would say that it was getting late.

This was a hint, but he didn't say it outright. Julian was sensible enough not to mention the fact that the wanted criminal from Al lived here.

"Every time I see their communication, I find it very interesting. They are clearly enemies, yet they pretend to be intelligent and kind."

Al looked away.

"How to say?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.

"That Anna is a candidate for the king's election. Julius didn't tell her at first in order to ensure her safety. He was worried that we would kill the candidate for the king's election."

Al said softly.

"You know you'll know?"

"There is no other reason for the Kingdom's knights to travel so far to carry out a mission other than protecting the King's candidate."

"There can be no other reason."

Al said again.

"As for why Crusch is the candidate for the King's Choice, the answer is the same, the old man standing next to her."

"He is indeed very famous. He is known as the Sword Ghost. He has strong skills and rich combat experience, if we don't consider his actual strength and age."

"I guess I won't be his opponent."

Al said.

"At this moment, I feel like you are my future self. You even seem a bit omniscient and omnipotent."

Lin Yu sighed.

"Well, what I said was actually all false. There is only one reason why I know the identity of each of them: I have seen them before." (End of this chapter)
