The Knights of Light were very excited when they heard that "Gary" was going to join.
Early the next morning, when the sun was shining on the dew, the Knights assembled at the city gate early.
Ji Jinrong arrived as scheduled.
He was still wearing a hat that could cover half of his face, and many nobles who came and went quietly looked at him, thinking that the simple robe and the mage hat with a large brim looked very good.
Many people are thinking to themselves: Is this a new trend
Now I decided to go back and ask someone to do a set.
Although he noticed that many people's eyes were glued to him, Ji Jinrong didn't care. He slept well last night and was full of energy. The half of his face exposed under the brim of his hat was delicate and beautiful, as if he was born to be the darling of the gods.
The nose and mouth alone are already so pretty, what kind of face would it be if the eyes were not blocked
Cavalier Commander Douglas saw the absence of others in his eyes.
He knew very well what would happen if Ji Jinrong showed his eyes.
I'm afraid that most of the Knights of Light will betray the God of Light and change their allegiance to this cunning adventurer!
He had seen those eyes.
Those green eyes are like spring water, clear and clear, but they always stir the heartstrings of those who look at him. It is said that the Demon Lord possesses the power to charm people's hearts. Anyone who looks into his eyes for ten seconds will surrender to him and dedicate their soul to him—this young man's eyes are almost the same as the rumored "Devil Lord".
If "Gary" hadn't lived in the imperial capital since he was a child, there was no problem in his resume, and the Adventurer's Guild was willing to guarantee him, Knight Commander Douglas would definitely not feel relieved to let him be a guide.
Captain Douglas said coldly: "Let's go when you come."
Ji Jinrong raised the corners of his lips: "Master Douglas, you all have griffins as mounts, do you want me to follow you on foot?"
Captain Douglas lowered his face: "You are an adventurer." Don't you even have a mount
Ji Jinrong sighed and said, "I'm a sorcerer, very delicate, how can I tame a ferocious beast!"
Captain Douglas looked at him coldly: "What do you want?"
Ji Jinrong said: "Oh, I know it's impossible for you to give me a griffin. After all, you are only willing to give me a little gold coin if I risk my life to follow you to search for the third prince."
Captain Douglas said: "The 'little bit' you mentioned is 10,000 gold coins." It is enough for an ordinary family to be wealthy for more than ten years.
Ji Jinrong still sighed faintly: "Don't be nervous, I don't want to do anything." He raised his head slightly, and his eyes obviously fell on the mount of Knight Commander Douglas, "I see that your mount is very majestic, Master Knight, and its back is also very strong. It's spacious, and it's more than enough for one more person—how about you, Sir Knight Commander, take me on board!"
At the end of the speech, Ji Jinrong's voice was obviously tainted with anticipation, and his intention to take the opportunity to approach Knight Commander Douglas was clearly revealed.
The members of the Knights of Light pricked up their ears when they heard this!
This is what they are most looking forward to!
How dare someone go so far as to tease Commander Douglas!
You must know that Captain Douglas is the coldest, strictest, and most principled person. If anyone dares to provoke him, he will definitely send the other party to hell—no, no, no, it’s worse than hell, sometimes you might rather die never mind!
Douglas Cavaliers twitched cheekily.
He ordered in a cold voice to the adjutant Owen next to him: "Owen, you take him."
Ji Jinrong stopped teasing Douglas. He glanced at Owen, who looked rather weak, and actively bargained with Douglas: "No, I don't like his type." After speaking, he looked in Owen's direction again, and his tone was full of apology, "Sorry, Lord Owen, I don’t mean to offend you, you know what you like. I like those who are much taller than me, because they can make a delicate mage like me feel safe—”
Owen: "..."
Ji Jinrong glanced around among several members of the nearby knight order, and sure enough, he walked up to a tall and handsome knight, and begged enthusiastically, "Can this lord give me a ride!"
The knight was a little dull and didn't react when he heard Ji Jinrong's words. When Ji Jinrong asked "Can't you?" in disappointment, he stared blankly at the little mage in front of him.
It was really delicate.
The knight's ears turned red inexplicably, and he said naively: "Yes, yes, Mr. Mage, come up."
Ji Jinrong climbed onto the griffin on both hands and feet, and said, "Just call me Gary. By the way, what's your name?"
"Oh, Gary," said the knight, his ears blushing even more at the name, "my name is Brown."
Douglas' indifferent voice interrupted their conversation: "Okay, let's go!"
Ji Jinrong was amused, and looked at Douglas over the brim of his hat, feeling that Douglas' complexion became even more stinky. He wasn't really narcissistic enough to think that Douglas was jealous, but he was still very happy—when you care about someone, his every move becomes very interesting to you.
The imperial capital is a little far away in the night forest, and the griffin has not arrived after flying for a day.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Douglas let the Knights land and camp on the spot.
Naturally, Ji Jinrong didn't bring camping tools.
He ran to Douglas, his tone full of hints: "I don't have my own camp..."
Douglas glanced at him coldly: "I began to doubt the correctness of choosing you as a guide." It meant that Ji Jinrong did not have the qualities that an adventurer should have.
Ji Jinrong said: "I'm a mage, and I'm very delicate. They took good care of me when I went with the adventure team."
Douglas said, "They all ride with you and share a tent with you?"
Ji Jinrong smiled like a flower: "Oh, my lord Douglas, what you said sounds like you're jealous."
Douglas said angrily, "Shut up."
He also felt that his displeasure was inexplicable. Ji Jinrong did look very delicate, and it was not impossible for him to be taken care of all the time before, but he was very unhappy when he thought of that scene.
Brown just took him all the way, and just ran to ask if they should share the camp—
Douglas felt that he absolutely couldn't watch the Knight of Light under him be seduced by this kind of guy and do things that violated the oracle of the God of Light.
Douglas said, "You pull that way."
Ji Jinrong opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
"You can't be cared for forever," Douglas said. "It's something you learn to do."
Ji Jinrong said: "Master Douglas is right!" He obediently tidied up the tent with Douglas, although the movements were not as proficient as Douglas's, but they were not too slow.
Douglas was not used to Ji Jinrong being so well-behaved.
He was silent and quickened his movements.
Ji Jinrong followed with a grunt.
After the tent was set up, sweat also rolled down Ji Jinrong's cheeks.
pampered.
This thought popped into Douglas' mind.
Douglas walked into the tent, followed by Ji Jinrong. Seeing Douglas spread the "bed" on the floor, he said enthusiastically, "This place is pretty big, and it's not too crowded for two people to sleep in."
Douglas knew that Ji Jinrong was talking nonsense with his eyes open. The tent is not big, so how big is the sleeping place? But in order not to let Ji Jinrong lure the knights, Douglas could only let him sleep here. Douglas said sullenly, "Eat something and rest, and we have to go on the road tomorrow."
Ji Jinrong followed Douglas out of the tent, and the others looked at him with admiration.
You must know that Douglas is often surrounded by ice slag, and a look can freeze people to death! This little adventurer persevered in getting close to Douglas, and succeeded in "making it together" - it's really admirable!
Ji Jinrong accepted all the amazed gazes frankly.
Ji Jinrong didn't care, but Douglas didn't like it.
He dropped Ji Jinrong to talk to Owen.
When the dinner was brought out, Ji Jinrong couldn't help frowning.
The Knights of Light sounded so awesome, but the food was so bad! Look at the messy cuts of the meat, the appearance is very poor, it doesn't arouse the slightest appetite at all; the cooking is not very good, it looks like it was thrown into the water and boiled, and some pieces of meat are still bloodshot...
Ji Jinrong couldn't help asking Brown, who was sitting next to him, "Don't you have a chef in the Knights of Light?"
Brown said honestly: "I will not bring a cook when I come out to perform the mission. It is the experienced people in the Knights who are responsible for preparing the food."
Ji Jinrong: "..."
This is called experienced? !
Ji Jinrong built a fire, asked Brown to cut a few sharp wooden skewers for himself, skewered the bloody pieces of meat and put them on the fire to roast. He took it out of his pocket, poured some seasoning on the pieces of meat, and turned the skewers over in a friendly way from time to time.
Soon, the fat in the meat was sizzling, and the tempting aroma wafted around.
Originally, everyone else was eating their dinner with big gulps, but after smelling the aroma, they ate more and more slowly, and in the end they couldn't even swallow it!
Compared to those meat skewers in Ji Jinrong's hand, what they ate was like pig food!
I don't even want to eat pigs!
Ji Jinrong didn't care if anyone around swallowed their saliva, he happily enjoyed his dinner, and generously distributed two skewers to Brown. Brown was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to refuse. After he ate the kebab, his eyes widened, and he felt flowers blooming on his tongue, satisfying every taste bud in him.
I didn't expect barbecue to be so delicious!
Brown made some more wooden sticks, skewered the rest of the meat, and started to grill the meat strictly according to Ji Jinrong's action just now. Seeing that Brown was learning quickly, Ji Jinrong laid out the seasoning and asked Brown to use it himself.
Brown quickly made kebabs full of aromas, too.
He shyly distributed several skewers to Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong would not refuse someone to serve him.
He and Brown finished the two dinners, and they still had something to say, so they directed Brown to catch a few fat fish in the nearby lake and feed himself well.
Seeing that Douglas wanted the Cavaliers to gather to discuss matters, Ji Jinrong waved his hand to show that he was fine by himself, and waved Brown back for a "meeting".
He wandered around by himself, retrieved some wild fruits, made them into juice and drank them to quench his thirst.
After Douglas instructed the knights, he asked them to go to the vast grass next to them to complete the daily necessary training.
When Douglas turned his head back, he saw Ji Jinrong sipping a glass of "juice" with some foam standing on the corner of his lips, which made his beautiful lips more delicate.
Douglas frowned when he thought of the straightforward Brown being sent around by Ji Jinrong.
This cunning fellow has a deceptive appearance, and honest knights are too easily seduced by him.
Douglas said: "Since Master Gary's body is 'delicate', let's go back to the tent to rest quickly, and have to hurry tomorrow morning."
Ji Jinrong smiled and said, "Master Douglas, you let me go to bed so early. You must be afraid that others will fall in love with me! Don't worry, I will only like you, Mr. Douglas. Since you are jealous, Mr. Douglas, I will go back to the tent Stay here," he took off his hat, stared at Douglas with bright eyes, and said in a sincere and serious tone, "I'll be waiting for you inside, Lord Douglas! Don't let me stay alone in the empty room for too long."
Douglas drew a soft whip from his waist.
He's going to kill this guy.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ji Jinrong ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.
The moon was already high when Douglas returned to the tent.
"Gary", who is usually glib, has already fallen asleep lying there. He seems to have taken a bath, and his whole body is refreshed. Hat and coat were thrown aside, and Douglas could see his handsome face and slender figure.
Compared with his peers, this guy is too small.
Douglas didn't take off his clothes, and lay down next to Ji Jinrong. When he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, the person next to him wrapped his arms around his waist, rubbed his feet against his legs, and buried himself in his arms.
Hot and soft.
Douglas opened his eyes and looked at the person in his arms coldly.
Ji Jinrong didn't seem to notice his cold gaze at all, his face comfortably rubbed against his chest, and his scorching breath sprayed on his chest, causing a strange feeling in his body that he had never felt before.
Inexplicably hot.
Douglas gritted his teeth and cursed: "Shameless!"
Ji Jinrong didn't open his eyes.
Douglas said: "If you don't stay away from me, I will strip you naked, hang you up and beat you dozens of lashes!"
Ji Jinrong muttered dreamily: "You bastard, even in a dream..." He quietly withdrew his hands, retracted his legs, moved his head, and his breathing gradually became long and steady, as if he hadn't intentionally entangled you just now. Going up, I just accidentally stretched out my hand and put my legs together in my sleep!
Douglas: "…"
He had never seen such a shameless guy!
Ji Jinrong was very quiet throughout the night.
Douglas still didn't sleep well.
When getting ready to set off, Douglas was not in a good mood, so he asked Ji Jinrong to sit on his griffin with a straight face.
The gazes of the others looking at Ji Jinrong were not just amazement.
It is simply admiration and admiration!
Looking at the haggard look and dark circles under the eyes of Cavalier Commander Douglas, it is obvious that he was squeezed dry last night! In just one night, Captain Douglas was taken down by this guy! Although this little adventurer is a man, Commander Douglas has rejected too many people. The parents of the Commander and His Majesty the Pope have long put the bottom line at the lowest level—as long as the other party is not a sword, they will all nod and agree to be together of!
Sensing the speculation in the eyes cast by the knights, Douglas' face turned completely dark.
They drove for another half a day, and finally came to the vicinity of the Night Forest.
Sure enough, as Ji Jinrong said, the night forest was shrouded in darkness. If you distinguish carefully, you will find that this darkness is actually a kind of black mist that permeates the wilderness and forest!
Ji Jinrong jumped off the griffin's back.
Ji Jinrong's long cloak merged with the surrounding black mist, and his beautiful hat also turned black as if by magic. In contrast, the half of his exposed face is fair-skinned, which is extremely conspicuous in the dark.
Ji Jinrong walked a few steps forward, then turned around, and said to Douglas and his party: "Okay, here we are, follow my orders from now on, just follow me." There are countless small, wing-flapping sounds.
Douglas looked around warily.
Ji Jinrong stood where he was, and many flying insects with extremely small bodies gathered towards him. They look like dragonflies, with thin, long and narrow wings, and their bodies are light and beautiful, like elves flying lightly in the dark. Ji Jinrong raised his hand, and a flying insect landed on his fingertip.
Ji Jinrong said: "Thank you for your hard work, please lead me the way."
The wing of the flying insect gave off a faint light, which was not conspicuous in the darkness, but it could guide them well.
Douglas' heart skipped a beat.
He stepped forward and asked, "Are you a druid?"
Druids, a race that can communicate with beasts.
Ji Jinrong blinked his eyes, and replied faintly: "Maybe."
Douglas stared at him.
Ji Jinrong's tone was sad: "I have never met my parents, so I don't know whose son I am. So you may be right to say that I am a commoner, and you may be right to say that I am a nobleman; you may be right to say that I am a beautiful elf , may be right, and it may be right to say that I am a druid who can communicate with nature."
Douglas really wanted to pull off Ji Jinrong's hat, to see if those eyes were as dark as his tone, or with a bit of cunning and hateful ridicule—to ridicule that he believed what he said a little bit, and wanted to comfort him.
Where does this guy need others to comfort him
Sure enough, Ji Jinrong went on to say: "If I were a druid, I would definitely be able to bid a higher price for my missions in the future! Dear Lord Douglas, you have always been honest and noble, why don't you pay for me after this mission is over?" Testify to the Adventurer's Guild and tell them I am a druid!"
Douglas ruthlessly dispelled his delusions: "Since you have not been certified by the Adventurer's Guild, of course you are not."
Ji Jinrong said regretfully, "That can add a lot of gold coins!"
As he spoke, he quietly reached out and grabbed Douglas's broad palm.
Douglas shook the restless hand away.
He frowned, gritted his teeth and warned: "Master Gary, has no one taught you how to write the word 'self-respect'?"
Ji Jinrong answered very poorly: "No." He sighed and said, "Let me tell you the truth, respected Lord Douglas, I am very afraid of the dark, and I dare not go forward without someone holding me. You You must know that I am a mage, I am very delicate, my body and mind are very delicate, and when I am afraid, I can’t move my feet—” After speaking, his footsteps were really nailed in place, and he did not take a step forward.
Douglas: "…"
Douglas grabbed Ji Jinrong's hand so hard that it almost crushed Ji Jinrong's palm.
Ji Jinrong was very happy and didn't feel any pain at all, and led Douglas forward.
The eyeballs of the other knights almost fell off.
Under Ji Jinrong's guidance, they experienced dozens of battles, large and small. Every time the battle was over, Ji Jinrong would stick by the side, and he would not continue until Douglas came over and grabbed his hand.
When it really fell into the night, Ji Jinrong took them to find the third prince.
The Third Highness, who was determined to kill the demons, was hiding in the cave, sleeping with a cub in his arms. Douglas asked Brown to pack up the third prince and throw it on the griffin, then threw a large bag of gold coins in front of Ji Jinrong, and said coldly, "This is your reward."
Douglas turned and sat on the back of the griffin, ready to leave with the knights.
Ji Jinrong called to stop him: "Master Douglas!"
Douglas looked at him.
Ji Jinrong said: "Don't forget that you promised me that you would take me to wipe out the demon clan's lair together."
Douglas pursed his lips. After a few seconds, he said: "If you can come back on time, I will naturally not break my promise."
Ji Jinrong smiled and said, "It's a deal."
Ji Jinrong turned around to count the gold coins, as if he didn't care that Douglas was going to throw him in such a dangerous place.
Douglas led the people away.
After the Griffin flew away, Owen, who was closest to Douglas, couldn't help but said, "My lord, is it really okay to leave him there alone..."
Thinking of being forced to hold that guy's hand along the way, Douglas said coldly, "He can't die." Don't so many people say how magical Gary is, that he can come and go freely in the night forest by himself.
Owen said: "Just now, my lord, you grabbed it so hard, his hand was completely red, and he might break a bone—"
Douglas frowned.
Owen said: "Our entire knight group can't come and go freely in the night forest, let alone him alone." He couldn't help persuading, "My lord, you are only angry for a while now. If he has an accident because of this, My lord, you will definitely blame yourself for the rest of your life."
Douglas paused.
He said: "You wait here, I will bring him out."
Owen was right. Although that guy was hateful, he was not guilty of death.
The author has something to say:
Your Majesty: Sir Knight Commander is so cold and ruthless... a little touchy!
Knight Commander: ...
