The white-haired old knight walked in front of Zhou Qingfeng and stared at the sharp dagger with a calm face. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Young man. I am the Knight of Nasser from the Duchy of Oss, and behind me are my subordinates."
The campfire crackled in the camp, and the goblins hid in the distance and whispered. The thin and tall bandit is not about himself, but he also pays attention to observation. Even the ugly man in the cage stared at him.
The old knight's hand stopped between the two, and all the cavalry behind him were stern, seeming to be angry. Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the opponent's hand, slowly loosened the hilt of the sword and shook the opponent's hand. He remembered his name called by the ugly old man, and responded: "I'm Victor Hugo."
The old knight smiled, seemingly satisfied with Zhou Qingfeng’s peace, "Your Excellency Hugo, I am very happy to meet you in such a remote wilderness. Do you mind if I ask a few questions? As long as the information you provide is valuable, I will pay. Well paid."
remuneration? This stabbed Uncle Zhou's weakness. He is tired and hungry now, with no money in his pocket. It’s good if you can earn some food and drink by answering questions.
"go ahead."
"Can I see the sword in your hand?" the old knight asked. A dozen knights surrounded, with cold faces, and each one looked much better than the ugly old man.
Zhou Qingfeng died countless times, asking himself that he still couldn't deal with such opponents in one fell swoop. He lamented that he had to pay tuition to read the file again, so he handed out the sword generously, wanting to see the follow-up plot.
The dagger fell into the hands of the old knight. He gently stroked the exquisite pattern on the hilt and scabbard, sighing, confirming the origin of the sword. After pulling out the sword body, a cold light was revealed, which caused a small exclamation.
The young cavalry shouted with joy: "It's Princess Enisa's sword. We finally found her."
The goblins on the periphery originally yelled'Ok Ouk', the sword light flashed, and the little dwarfs stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks, silently staring. The thin and tall bandit's eyes flashed, but he still said nothing.
But the urn who was in the cage shouted angrily, "This sword is really good."
The old knight returned the dagger to its sheath and heaved a sigh of relief. He asked his subordinates for a purse, shook it slightly and clinked, and said, "Young man, can you tell me where you got this sword?"
The purse was squeezed directly into Zhou Qingfeng's hands. He squatted it, and then he pondered for a while and asked, "Before I answer, can you tell me the origin of this sword? Why are you interested in it?"
Zhou Qingfeng was still at a loss as to his own situation and the current world. Although he escaped from the ugly old man and the evil gang, and escaped from the palm of the angry dragon, he knew too little about the situation after the crossing.
The old knight looked dim and whispered: "I'm from the Principality of Oss. This sword is the hand-held sword of Princess Inissa of the Principality. A year ago, she was called Alatis at her eighteenth birthday party. The red dragon was taken away.
According to the vow when it left, we must find it within a year and pay a ransom in exchange for the princess, otherwise the princess will become its wife. In order to find it, we tried our best, and now it is a few days away from the one-year deadline.
If you can't find the princess, as her guardian knight, I can only mow myself. So please tell me, where did you get this sword? Have you seen her Royal Highness? Is she well? "
The old knight's eyes were focused and his tone was sincere. The camp was quiet and everyone was staring at Zhou Qingfeng. He scratched his head, not knowing how to answer
It was the ugly man in the cage again, rushing to ask, "Is it Princess Enissa von August Frederick of the Duchy of Oss? I heard that she was blessed by an angel when she was born, and even loved Gods are jealous of her appearance and wisdom."
Zhou Qingfeng was distressed, and couldn't help but glance at the ugly man who was locked in a cage and could only sit with his legs curled up, his waist and head bent and tightened. He murmured in his heart: "Big Brother, are you still thinking about listening to gossip?"
The old knight stared at Zhou Qingfeng, and continued to say in a deep voice: "Young man, please help me. As long as I can find the princess, I am willing to pay you another payment."
The sound of the impact in the purse is loud as you listen, and the follow-up rewards must be even more attractive. The goblins yelled at Zhou Qingfeng in'Ok Ouk', the ugly man was silent, and the tall and thin bandit did turn to stare at the carriage escorted by the old knight.
"Uh..., I have to admit that I did meet your princess. She was trapped in a cave by a dragon, wearing a tattered pink dress, and she was in good spirits. Is this short sword... ... She gave it to me and asked me to come out for help."
What Zhou Qingfeng said was half true and half false, and the last half sentence was just nonsense. The old knight listened gently. But when he heard two nonsense, a brooch-like accessory on his neckline lit up with a faint red light. But he remained silent and continued to smile.
"Your Excellency Hugo, can you take me to the dragon's lair? It's what you call the cave."
"Uh... I'm afraid that dragon won't be too happy to see me again. This will affect your negotiations with it."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can lead the way." The old knight insisted. He didn't ask Zhou Qingfeng's origin at all, nor did he ask how Zhou Qingfeng appeared outside the Dragon Nest Cave. He once again emphasized the follow-up remuneration and hoped to leave overnight.
Zhou Qingfeng could feel the anxiety of the old knight, but pity him for walking aimlessly in the forest for a long time. Looking back, he didn't know the way. Especially in the dark night, it is even more difficult.
"Sorry, I couldn't tell the direction when I escaped that cavern. It's impossible for me to go back at night. Try again after dawn tomorrow." Zhou Qingfeng said that he could do nothing.
The old knight looked at the accessory that was emitting green light on his neckline, and thinking about what Zhou Qingfeng said was reasonable, he could only nod his head in agreement. He asked about the surrounding environment of Dragon Nest again. Zhou Qingfeng's description was...
"Sword-like peaks plunge straight into the sky, and fierce winds roar between the peaks. Below the peak is a steep cliff, and outside the cliff is a continuous forest. I just started from the cliff and spent half a day through the woods. Come to the camp before nightfall."
Zhou Qingfeng described the general situation, and the old knight quickly found a sheepskin map that looked like an abstract painting to find a specific location.
The goblins were whispering, it sounded like'Ok Ouk' barking. The ugly man in the cage mumbled something, but no one heard it clearly. As for the tall and thin bandit..., he disappeared somehow.
The old knight could be regarded as drawing Zhou Qingfeng into the group, and sent two subordinates to take care of him. He would eat and drink without doing any work, but he stared at him not to leave. He silently added a new save to himself, and hoped that he wouldn't hang up so easily.
In the dead of night, Zhou Qingfeng lay beside the fire pond sleeping soundly. But there was a sudden noise around him, and he woke up abruptly. When he opened his eyes, everyone in the cavalry team got up and looked alert.
The prison wagon that the goblin drove was still there, but the goblins were gone. The ugly man in the cage was still curled up inside. He sneered a few times, staring at Zhou Qingfeng and said: "The goblins have gone to greet their companions. They must be planning to robbery at night."
