23 no free lunch

The messenger came very early, and Eliza just left the mansion and arrived.

It seems that the Baron does have a task to hand him over, otherwise, if you grant an elemental fire, there is no need to be so hasty.

When the messenger saw Devin, he saluted him respectfully, and a formulaic smile appeared on his face: "Good morning, sir."

Dewen also bowed and returned the favor, with his actions appropriate and generous, and he did not have the vulgarity of the legendary countryman. I have to thank Eliza for his guidance.

He is an apprentice knight now, but his name is better, but in fact he is still a commoner, so he naturally has to be more humble.

Seeing his actions, the messenger was slightly stunned, the slight contempt on his face suddenly decreased a lot, and his smile became more sincere.

"Please, your lord, the baron is already waiting for you in the castle." The messenger smiled.

Devin did not delay, followed the envoy out of the mansion, rode the horse brought by the envoy, and ran straight towards the Baron's castle.

Because it was just dawn and the city had not yet woken up completely, the streets were very deserted, so the two of them were very fast, almost galloping on horseback. In less than fifteen minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the castle.

This castle is completely a small city, and the walls surrounding it are no less than those surrounding Lomba.

After entering the city wall, there is a carefully trimmed wide lawn, which is more than 200 meters long and wide. There are fountains, gardens, and clear streams on the lawn. In the middle, there is a tall and wide luxury castle.

In the noisy city, this is a quiet garden.

On the lawn, a girl in fiery red vest breeches was running around on a tall horse. From time to time, a burst of silver bell-like laughter would come, making her look carefree.

Her horsemanship seemed very skilled, and from time to time she would leapt over some wooden hurdles on the grass, which made Devin look at it a few more times.

"That's Miss Alice, she's the rose in the city of Rumba." The messenger introduced softly, with a look of pride on his face.

Devin also roughly guessed the identity of this girl. Only the Baron's beloved daughter can be so unrestrained in the castle.

"It's really beautiful." Dewen praised non-save, then withdrew his gaze and continued to follow the messenger around the path between the lawn. They walked around the glorious main hall of the castle and finally arrived at a remote hall on the side.

There was already someone waiting in the side hall. Judging from his figure, it was Baron Heimer.

The messenger got off his horse outside the side hall and said to Devin: "Get in. The Baron is waiting for you inside, remember not to be rude."

Devin nodded, turned over and dismounted, carefully sorted out the wrinkles on the dress, straightened his hair, stretched out his back, and stretched out his image as a burly and tall warrior, and then walked into the hall.

In the hall, when Heimer saw him in, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face. Seeing Devin kneeling down and saluting, he quickly stopped him and said, "There are only two of us here, so there is no need to be too polite."

He said that, how dare Devin listen? Eliza said that the baron valued his authority very much. The more others respected him, the happier he was.

If he felt a little rude and made him feel grudged, he would definitely remember it for the rest of his life.

There is a reason for this. The baron was an illegitimate son and was despised for a long time before inheriting the title, so he had a strong sense of self-esteem.

Devin still insisted on kneeling on one knee and said respectfully: "Lord, only in this way can I express my respect for you."

The Baron laughed and said, "You young man is quite good at talking. How about you? How about you rest last night?"

"Very good. I've never lived in such a good place, just like heaven." Devin touched his head, and a look of honesty appeared on his face.

Isn’t it heaven if I get the frost flame and fire again and have beauty accompanying me?

Most of his words came from sincerity, which made the Baron happier.

He smiled for a while, his expression slowly became solemn, and he said earnestly: "Denwen, I have communicated with the church about your killing of the priest, and they have agreed not to pursue this matter. Remember, you can't be so reckless in the future."

Strictly speaking, Baron Heimer is not qualified to forgive Devin's sin for killing the priest, but when he speaks, the church will certainly give him face, and naturally will not hold on to this trivial matter.

"Thank you Lord Lord" Devin looked grateful. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the last shadow in his heart also dissipated.

Heimer nodded and continued, "Next, I will grant you the spark."

He took out a wooden box and opened it, and there was a translucent crystal ball with white mist inside. Judging from this appearance, it was much more intimidating than Frost Flame.

The Baron took out the elemental fire inside and pressed it on Devin's forehead.

"This is the Frost Fire, and it is my reward for all the trainee knights. Don't resist, focus on the Fire, it will bring you the Frost Power!"

Dewen had long had experience and successfully triggered the fire. This crystal ball-like thing quickly turned into a wisp of white mist and penetrated into his eyebrows.

He only felt a chill in his eyebrows, and a strange aura appeared in his body. Most of this aura was cold, but there was also a very tiny burning sensation mixed in it.

Eliza said that any elemental fire is pure, and it is impossible to have two auras with completely opposite attributes.

Now that there is such an impurity in it, it is definitely a passive move.

Dewen felt awe-inspiring in his heart, but he was calm on the surface, still with his eyes closed and his face was calm.

These auras entered his body and were immediately absorbed by frost flames. Its structure was destroyed in an instant, and the cold breath mixed with the burning sensation suddenly disappeared.

From beginning to end, this frost and fire did not cause any slight turbulence in his body.

However, in order to behave like this, Dewen waited for a long time before slowly opening his eyes and exhaling.

"How is it? Do you feel the power of the element?" Heimer asked with concern.

Devin did not speak, but stretched out his fist, and a faint white light appeared on his fist, which was much richer than when an ordinary knight had just received the fire.

Heimer was very happy. He was indeed gifted. Judging from this situation, it was very likely that he would break through the second level.

It seems that in the near future, his capable subordinates will have one more.

He pulled Devin up, who was half kneeling on the ground, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, but his face showed regret.

He said apologetically: "Originally, I was going to let you receive regular knight training. But you also know that something happened in the castle and something important was stolen. The situation is very urgent now, and I hope you can do something for me first."

Sure enough, Eliza was right again, but this was exactly what Devin expected.

He said without hesitation: "Please speak with Lord."

His attitude made the Baron feel a little relieved. He sighed and said, "Baron Shulai stole my family elemental sword and wanted to take the opportunity to threaten me. I want you to go to York City and kill his combat mage Siren, so that he can know how powerful I am!"

Only by fighting back as soon as possible can he shock that guy Shulai, so as not to make a big fuss with the elemental sword and ask for a price everywhere.

Devin was stunned and went to the other party's city to assassinate a combat mage?

This is really fatal. Eliza is right. The baron's hospitality is indeed to be paid for by life.

This task is very difficult and dangerous. Killing the combat mage is second. The key is how to run out of the city after killing people.

He said, how could the baron meet him in person early in the morning and give him a fire and wait here.

The baron could endure it and waited for a day and a night before saying it. His patience was pretty good.

Seeing Devin's look stunned, the Baron narrowed his eyes and said, "The Siren is only a first-level wind combat mage, not very powerful. As long as you can successfully kill him, I will enthrone you as a formal knight after you come back!"

If you want to deal with the battle mage in the city, it is useless to send knights. One must die one. You can only send a powerful archer to secretly snipe him.

He made up this idea yesterday, and at this time he was waiting for Devin to nod.

Devin looked up at the Baron, and the other party looked at him, with an encouraging look on his face.

"How is it? Are you sure? If not, I can only issue a reward, but it seems passive and not enough to shock Shulai." The Baron's voice was still gentle, but Devin could already hear the coldness.

Obviously, he didn't have much choice.

Although this trip was dangerous, the reward was also generous. He was directly promoted to a formal knight, and the promotion speed was unprecedented.

If an ordinary trainee knight wants to become a formal knight, he will not even think about it if he doesn't last for five or six years.

Devin gritted his teeth and fucked.
