Talk about a pure love in the illustrated book world

But if this stuff is really said, the boat of friendship will probably blow up directly, so the two of them can only nod their heads desperately with awkward but polite smiles.

"Ah yes yes yes."

Candice, who didn't realize that there was something wrong with their words, still had a smile on her face, and continued to talk eagerly with the two of them.

And Neil and Euphemia also chatted about some experiences from their travels from time to time, which made her also let out a little exclamation.

Maybe it's because she really stayed in the church all the time, and even if it was just some small things during the journey, Candice would listen with great interest and raise all kinds of doubts, making Neil and Yu Fermia also felt a little helpless.

However, it was precisely because of such small talk that their journey in the carriage was not boring.

When it was getting late and the convoy started to stop, Candice walked out of the carriage with them, still with an unsatisfactory expression on her face.

The surrounding guards from her and Loharin also formed a circle around the carriage and began to set up camp.

Both groups are elite fighters, so naturally they don't need to worry about their safety at night.

It's just that compared to Neil's acquaintance with Candice and their relationship with her subordinates, it seems somewhat awkward.

A bunch of spies, two or five youngsters, how can this make them friendly?

Of course, their superficial relationship is still quite good, and even because they are two or five boys, they are far more eager to chat with other people than normal guards. It was as if they were comrades-in-arms whom they hadn't seen for a long time, which made the knights on Neil's side feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course, for the few normal knights inside, they still need to communicate with each other.

I don't know if it's because of their own ulterior motives, whether it's Neil's side or Candice's side, they tacitly kept the place of conversation away from the three of them, leaving them the space to be alone.

But in this case, it is much more convenient, at least Neil doesn't have to worry about how to work hard with the opposite party to show off their acting skills.

Because the distance was not too far, and the space in the carriage was large enough, they brought quite a lot of food this time.

After the guards brought the dinner, the three of Neil also started to chat while chatting.

"Your first meal as an adventurer was dried meat and fruit?"

Euphemia looked at Neil who took a sip of the broth in surprise.

"That's right, I just set off from Bach City at that time, and it was also my first escort mission as an adventurer. Because the incoming bumblebees were dealt with, the merchants also took out some fruits for us."

Neil shrugged and looked at Euphemia curiously.

"Why are you so surprised? Isn't that what adventurers usually eat?"

"I went directly to the restaurant to eat, and I didn't start to accept the task until I ran out of money..."

She said in embarrassment, making Neil's mouth twitch and he sighed.

"Well, it's no wonder that when I saw you for the first time, I still retained a lot of the character of a young lady. It turns out that I haven't practiced much at all."

"It seems that everyone has grown up little by little from the original immaturity..."

Candice also said with a light smile.

However, just as they continued to chat, a quarrel suddenly came from a distance, interrupting their conversation.

Volume 228 Brave Performance Competition: Chapter 227 Chapter [-] Little Friction

The sound of the quarrel made them look at each other, frowned, got up and ran over.

And when Neil saw Litton, who was confronting a knight, blocking Yvette behind him with his body, and the dish that was flipped under their feet, spilling the contents on the ground, A thoughtful expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Apologies to Yvette."

After they arrived, Litton's cold voice came over, and the soldier with a red mark on his face pulled out the sword blade on his waist with an angry expression.

"stop!"

Following Candice's slightly cold words, the two people who were still facing each other suddenly turned their heads, and the other guards also saluted her in a panic.

"what happened?"

Neil also looked at Litton, and asked with a frown.

"He was swearing at Yvette, knocking over her food, and was going to do something to her."

Although Litton dropped his hand from the hilt because the bosses of both sides were present, the anger on his face still did not subside.

"That servant's cooking was so unpalatable that I would die. What's the matter with me?"

And the knight over there also stared, as if faintly drawing his sword again.

"You left a slap mark on my face, I can think that this is your insult to our family, right?"

"Maltz."

Candice's expression became uncommonly ugly, looking at the guard who had already started to aim the blade at Litton.

"Are you disobeying my orders?"

"But Your Highness Candice, according to the etiquette among nobles, insulting a knight is equivalent to insulting the family behind him. Forgive me for not being able to swallow my anger."

"Maltz, you..."

Candice looked at the resolute Maltz, and her face couldn't help becoming colder.

And Neil, who was standing next to her, silently observed the other knights.

Some had doubts and embarrassment on their faces, as if they felt inappropriate for their companion's behavior; while others seemed to be watching a good show, just watching the battle with interest.

Did you find that you can't get anything out of chatting, so you started to pick things up?

Neil glanced at Grace and Regina who were hidden among the others. The two of them did not show any special relationship because they had integrated into the Knights.

On the contrary, Litton and Yvette are more obvious, have they been their targets...

"Maltz, I remember that the family behind you developed by relying on the beliefs of the religious order? Be careful when I go back and report what you have done to the bishops."

Candice said coldly.

"It's natural to be punished for speaking rudely to an unarmed maid. If you haven't forgotten the teaching of the Lord God, go and apologize to Deputy Captain Litton and Miss Yvette right now, and reflect on what you have done."

"Otherwise, I will propose to your family and the religious order to remove you as a knight."

As if poking his pain, the expression on the face of the knight named Maltz changed, and he immediately wanted to speak up to defend himself.

But under Candice's eyes full of warning, he just gritted his teeth, retracted the blade unwillingly, and bowed his head to Litton in front of him.

"Your Excellency Litton, I'm very sorry for insulting that maid and even facing swords at you."

"Litton, since the other party is like this, you should also apologize."

And Neil crossed his arms and said to Litton, making him nod his head too.

"I'm very sorry that I insulted you because of a momentary surge of anger."

Compared with the still somewhat unwilling expression on the opposite face, Litton's side was much more sincere, and Candice, who looked at his sincere expression, couldn't help but nodded in admiration.

And Neil is very sure that this guy is really seriously reflecting on his behavior of slapping the other side just now...

So the honesty of a child who has only been taken away by Yvette until now is all due to Loharin, hasn't he been attacked by monsters?

After the dispute was resolved, the three of Neil and the others returned to their original places and continued to sit down.

"My men have caused you trouble."

After sitting down, Candice immediately said to Neil and Euphemia with an apologetic expression.

"It's okay, after all, the food cooked by our maid here is really unacceptable, and Litton is also a little bit angry."

Neil also waved his hand, signaling Candice not to worry, but her face still didn't look much better.

It's not a good signal for a guard, not to mention that she didn't stop immediately, but she still needs to rely on the pressure of the sect and the family to be obedient.

Candice naturally knew the power behind him. It was a family far away from the royal family and more inclined to the Nosculem faction.

Those fellows in the Senate have begun to become more and more unscrupulous.

Candice's hands couldn't help but clenched tightly, but she still smiled reluctantly, hiding her thoughts in her heart.

And although Neil was still chatting normally with Candice and Euphemia on the surface, a trace of doubt could not help but flash in his heart.

The incident just now passed so easily, so what is the purpose of their provocation?

If it is hoped to test the strength of Litton and the others through provocation, it should be unnecessary.

After all, when Neil and the others participated in the exhibition match, the gang of families behind them would naturally be able to see more clearly.

What's more, with Candice and him around, it's impossible for this fight to start. Their behavior, which seems to be like children stepping on each other's feet and then arguing, is simply impossible to hide and sit not far away. There are three of them.

Even if it is directly proposed to learn skills, isn't it far better than arguing with them and causing disgust?

No matter how they make trouble this time, it is all harm but no benefit.

Could it be that there is no other purpose after that?

As he continued to think, he who hadn't spoken to each other for a while gradually fell silent, immersed in his own thinking.

"Neil? Neil? That...."

Being stared at by Neil in a daze, Candice couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and reminded her aloud.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Ah, oh, it's okay, I was thinking about something just now."

Neil, who came back to his senses, waved his hand and drank the cold broth in his hand.

"It's getting late, so go to bed early after eating."

After all, he also stood up and said with a smile to Candice.

"You shouldn't be used to sleeping in the wild, right?"

"Don't worry, although you don't often eat and sleep outside like you, it's definitely fine if you just sleep outside."

Candice also replied with a smile.

Volume 229 Brave Performance Competition: Chapter 228 Chapter [-] Night Attack

As they got into the carriage and began to sleep, the entire camp became quiet. Only a few guards who were in charge of the night watch outside the camp were still awake, quietly vigilant in the shadows that the campfire could not illuminate. with.

And among those surrounded carriages, a furtive figure also stepped out of the carriages, and began to slowly move towards one of the luxurious carriages.

Glancing at the swaying flames in the distance, Maltz also slowly pulled the sword out of the scabbard in his hand.

He moved very slowly, taking care not to disturb the others with the grinding sound of the blade.

And what's weird is that he seems to have turned into a ghost. If someone sees it, they will find that although he opens and closes his mouth, he doesn't even make a sound of breathing.

In that almost silent movement, he walked towards Candice's carriage bit by bit without arousing anyone's notice.

His expression was very serious, without any panic and gnashing of teeth during dinner, but more like an experienced mercenary.

Although their campsite was more relaxed due to their relatively large convoy, he quickly walked to the front of the carriage as he groped forward bit by bit, put his hand on the door, and slowly opened it. .

And the next moment, his movements stopped, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.

His whole body seemed to have been petrified, and he stopped motionless in place, and the hand on the doorknob could not move an inch.

When the guards who were changing shifts began to come back, they saw him half-opening the door, and their expressions suddenly became astonished, and they shouted immediately.

"Maltz! What are you doing!?"

The sudden shout in the silent night woke up all the people in the carriage from their sleep, jumped down with swords in hand, and surrounded Maltz.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally realized that his body had returned to his own control, and his face suddenly became ferocious. He slammed the door, and taking advantage of the distance, he directly stabbed the long sword in his hand at the sleeping man inside. candice.

However, the sudden jolting sensation from under his feet caused his body to lose its center of gravity, and was pushed backwards by the sloping soil slope under his feet.

"what's the situation?"

When Maltz fell to the ground and was surrounded by other guards with swords, he opened the door of the carriage. A yawning Neil also came out, looking at Maltz who was pointed at by a dozen swords, Can't help but frown.

"How is this going?"

"Mr. Neil, he wants to attack Her Highness Candice!"

The first guard who spotted Maltz immediately explained to him, with a slightly scared expression on his face.

"Maltz..."

And Candice, who also came out, also looked at Maltz, who was staring at her with hatred, with a shocked and unacceptable expression.
