0043 The saint before the front
There was laughter and laughter in the camp.
The appearance of bear meat injected a source of happiness into all the soldiers.
Roger is the only one who is worried.
Is it really appropriate for them to take away the trophies of a powerful knight?
However, under Hardy's strong request, Rogge still bit the bullet and ate a piece of bear meat.
Hmm...it smells so good!
After eating the bear meat, the soldiers gathered in twos and threes to chat.
Hardy was reading intermediate magic theory books in his tent.
The content is very profound and still difficult to digest, but the more you read, the more interesting it becomes.
The book often throws up some very weird questions.
For example: Does prophecy magic mean that the ending of this world has already been fixed, or is it because of your prophecy that the magic randomly forcibly fixes a certain ending?
Another example: Why do magic missiles have to target living things? Can they be changed to target designated objects?
Thinking about these questions will help you understand the nature of magic.
Just when Hardy was reading happily, Roger said outside the tent: "Master, there are distinguished guests looking for you outside the camp."
Hardy thought that it should be the Saint Sect, that is, people from the Jeanne family.
He walked slowly to the entrance of the camp and saw seven people standing at the door.
The leader was an old woman wearing brown leather armor, holding a long gun, and looking at him with a smile.
Hardy walked up, saluted, and asked: "Excuse me, why are you looking for me?"
The old woman looked at Hardy and said with a smile: "I am Eleanor, the patriarch of the Jeanne family. Sissi said you are quite capable, so I came over to take a look."
Hardy made a gesture of invitation: "Why don't you come inside and have a chat?"
"No need." The old woman waved her hand: "I'm just here to test your ability..."
After all, she stabbed her with a spear, but the speed was not very fast.
This is just etiquette, tell Hardy that she has begun to attack.
Hardy took two steps back and dodged, with a magic sword in his hand.
"People who use dark elements are somewhat in conflict with our Jeanna family." The old woman is good at shooting, and she can sweep the puncture points with style: "Don't you change?"
Hardy shook his head: "I'm just here to protect you, and I don't plan to join the Jeanna family. I won't change!"
The old woman turned around and fired the gun, watching Hardy retreat, and was about to pursue him, but she saw Hardy's body strangely 'ejecting' back, instantly closing the distance to her.
The gun is very good at attacking from a distance, but it is not easy to deal with when being bullied up close.
She hurriedly backed away, but Hardy was faster and stayed in front of her.
After taking a few steps back, the old woman gave up and said, "I lost."
Hardy then backed away.
The old woman put the gun on the ground and said: "Young man is very capable. In my young life, not many people can beat you. It's a pity that I am old. I should have been able to fight with you when I was young."
Hardy is actually quite familiar with this Ainoline Jeanne.
When he was making gold in the game, he often had contact with this old man.
The Jeanna family had a lot of tasks, but at that time Karina stayed in the Temple of Light all year round, and Hardy had not seen much of the holy girl back then.
Generally speaking, Ainoline is very trustworthy, but she is a bit strong and shady, and is not easy to talk to.
Hardy felt a little strange when he heard the other party praising him.
You know, in the game, although this old woman did not target herself, she never gave herself a good look.
Why is Hardy's treatment so different now?
But then thinking about it, Hardy understood.
In the game, she is a civilian, or a mercenary who is greedy for money. She relies on other people's tasks to make a living. As a master, she naturally does not think too highly of this person, and of course she does not have a good face.
But now Hadi is not only a noble, he is also very powerful, and he also has an army.
Such conditions are enough for Jean Nagao to take a look.
Hardy smiled and said: "Ms. Eleanor, you haven't even used magic. If you had, I would never be able to defeat you."
"Hahaha, the little guy is very good at talking." Eleanor was very happy: "I heard that you like Karina very much?"
"I don't like it now." Hardy told the truth.
Eleanor looked unconvinced and said, "If you don't like her anymore, you won't escort Sissi back to the royal city."
"It's just a business," Hardy explained.
Eleanor nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."
It was obvious from her look that she didn't believe it, and Hardy didn't bother to explain.
He didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he asked: "Ms. Eileenor, are you not afraid of being assassinated by the Lion Faction when you show off so arrogantly?"
"It's okay, they don't dare to come out." As soon as Eleanor finished speaking, she was slapped in the face.
Hardy saw another group of people coming outside the camp.
The leaders are two young men, and the rest are professionals holding long swords.
"I have such a crow's mouth."
Hardy clicked his tongue and waved, and Rogge immediately returned to the camp. Soon, more than forty archers were standing on the low wooden wall of the camp.
Professionals are just a lot stronger than normal people, but they will still get injured and bleed.
Therefore, archers pose a greater threat to them.
Eleanor walked up to Hardy and said, "Little Hardy, my safety this time will be left to you."
Hardy shook his head helplessly, stepped forward, and shouted: "This is an important military area, please don't come forward anymore."
"Your Excellency, we represent the Clovis family and would like to have a chat with you."
The young man who spoke was quite thin and had long flowing brown hair. He looked more like an artist than an aristocrat.
"What can we talk about?" Hardy asked with a smile.
"You have a great future, why bother hanging out with the declining Jeanne family." The long-haired young man continued: "What they give you, our Clovis family can also give you, twice as much."
Eleanor smiled and looked at Hardy's face the whole time.
Hardy's expression did not change at all: "You lion guys are not suitable for me."
"Why?" The long-haired aristocratic young man was very curious.
Hardy smiled and said: "Compared to wild animals, I prefer beautiful women."
This is based on the coat of arms of a noble family.
The coat of arms of the Jeanne family is a praying angel, which is very gorgeous and luxurious.
The coat of arms of the Clovis family is simply a male lion.
"It's very easy to get a woman." The long-haired young man said with a smile: "Our Clovis family has several princesses waiting to be married. You might as well consider it?"
Hardy asked: "Seriously?"
"If you are willing to come to Clovis's house as a guest, it will naturally be true."
At this time, the old woman Eleanor spoke: "It's not good for a boy from the Clovis family to rob someone in front of me."
