() Two knights stood in the saint's cemetery. They stood in front of the tombstones of their colleagues and bowed their heads in silence. They could not let go for a long time. When they broke out, support had not yet arrived. They were surrounded by ghouls and almost collapsed. If it were not for the support troops

If they arrived at the last minute, they might have been dismembered and eaten. Even so, the two seriously injured people lay in the hospital bed for a long time, and they could not make it to the funeral of their colleagues.

"Barthes, Bonaire, may you rest in peace."

Casualties often occur in the Witch Hunting Group. The knights have long been accustomed to people dying around them, but people are not machines, and even if they are really used to it, they cannot remain indifferent. Will it be the new teammates next time or themselves?

…

Early that morning, Philio was stopped by Eusbiu, who rarely assigned him an easy task. Patrolling and other tasks were rarely done by knights. Although the security of the royal capital was not to the extent that the house was not closed at night and the streets were not picked up, it was rarely done.

Someone dares to cause trouble in the main street.

"Your mission today is to patrol the West Commercial District. Someone will come to replace you after noon."

"Shall I go on patrol?"

Asking the knight to patrol the business district is like dragging a tiger to guard the gate.

"There have been serious thefts in West Commercial Street in recent days."

"How serious is it..."

Is this such an exaggerated theft that even knights are sent out? After thinking about it carefully, Filio figured it out. It is estimated that there are many nobles among the people who were stolen, otherwise the Holy Court would not have sent out knights to catch the thieves.

"It was so serious that after Viscount Baidushan came home, he found that he only had clothes on him."

"..."

"When the eldest lady of Earl Mitchell's family came out of the jewelry store, she only had a thin coat on her body. What was even worse was Baron Pinecone. Even his clothes were stolen. He came back through the back door with a piece of cloth wrapped around his body.

Home."

This is a bit exaggerated. How was it stolen?

"According to the investigation, half of the wealthy nobles in the commercial street have been visited by thieves. This only happened in two days. The noble knights raised in the royal capital searched the inner and outer cities without finding any clues. Now there are several barons

We are waiting for the result at the Judgment Cathedral."

"How did they become nobles when they were stolen like this and found out later?"

It looked like he was angry because he was stolen, but Filio felt more like a child who was bullied and went to complain to his elder brother. If the elder brother couldn't solve the problem, he went to his father. The problem is that nobles are also human beings. Is the wallet behind their head?

"The title of nobility is not a security door. To become a nobility, you don't need to be very clever. You only need a father who is a nobility. The same is true for imperial power. Okay, it's getting late, so you should set off as soon as possible."

"if……"

"No ifs."

"...I really don't want to take care of this matter."

Firion, who has always been chasing witches, has never done this kind of thing before. His previous ideas are not used in hunting down thieves, not to mention how unhappy he is.

No matter how reluctant Filion is, he must perform the task: the Holy Court supports the faith of the kingdom and guards the territory of the kingdom; the nobles support the wealth of the country and protect the people and the army from being deprived of food and clothing. The two support each other.

, no one can lack anyone.

This resulted in him and the noble knights who also patrolled the commercial street staring at each other. When patrolling the West Commercial Street, Filio walked in front easily and calmly, while the noble knights behind him stared at him eagerly.

Why is it so vicious? The last incident where the witch attacked the town caused the noble knights to lose face, and because of Firion's activity, the noble knights have recently become inferior to the Holy Court Knights.

The noble knights were dissatisfied and said that Philio was a young boy who had just grown up and could not survive a domestic cat, so why should he receive an honor higher than theirs? It meant that in peacetime, it would be fine to just reward some money, but giving the Medal of Honor would not mean that he was a noble.

Do all knights live for a living?

So as soon as they met, the sturdy noble knight issued a challenge when the other party realized that the visitor was none other than Philio.

"Do you dare to give me a try?"

"No time now."

"Let's compete here, immediately, and I will kill you quickly."

"Oh, come on then."

This was not the first time that this happened. Firion looked at the sky and nodded politely with his long sword on his chest, indicating that it was time to start. The Holy Court does not allow private fights, but it does not mean that he can be bullied.

, Philio was not worried that the incident would turn into a fight, and the worst he could do would be to go to God to repent as punishment. Anyway, after he came out, he would be a refreshing Knight of the Holy Court.

The noble knight holds the sword with both hands, raises the sword high and prepares to attack, and bends and stretches one leg slightly back, ready to use force at any time.

Their location is next to the woods on the edge of West Commercial Street. There are not many people here, and there is still a place for two people to fight.

"I will show you what true swordsmanship is."

"There is no real swordsmanship, the real contest is between the swordsmen."

Filio observed the noble knight. This sturdy man had been trained for a long time and had very steady steps. His sword-holding posture was a very traditional "bolt from the clear sky". The so-called "bolt from the clear sky" meant that he raised the sword straight above his head, and every time he attacked,

It is chopped from above. The sword must be straight and steady, and never put down the sword. This is a traditional training technique in the army.

Then the battle began. Firion held his two-handed sword steadily from above, stepped forward and pushed his chest hard from the side, and the man fell. It was also a two-handed sword, and Filion held the sword with one hand.

Considering the strength of the opponent's hands, the result is self-evident.

"It's not just the blade that hurts people. Can you still continue patrolling now?"

"Ahem...it's a little bad...I have a broken rib and I need to go back to see a doctor."

"Pay attention to rest."

The noble knight fell to the ground as if he was about to die, but he managed to regain his breath for a long time.

They were indeed very arrogant when they came, and noble knights were generally arrogant, but that didn't mean they lacked the spirit of chivalry. Few people would bite like a mad dog after losing a fair duel, and this sturdy knight did a very good job.

Next, Firion patrolled alone...

There were fewer people in the West Commercial Street than usual, but it was still very lively. Anyway, only a few idiots were stolen. Most passers-by felt that they were vigilant and the possibility of being stolen was low.

For example, the young man walking in front of Filio had his wallet on the inside of his clothes and covered it with one hand from the outside pocket. There was no possibility of theft. Seeing how alert he was, Filio expressed great appreciation.

.

"If everyone was as vigilant as him, who else would be stolen?"

At this time, Hong Su, holding an umbrella, passed by the young man. He looked back and smiled as he passed, causing the young man to lose consciousness for a while. Then Filio saw the young man's wallet being pulled out with a red thread, and took out two coins from it.

The gold coin was then put back.

Wait, witch! Was she actually smiling at herself just now? And it was a joke!

"..."

Filio covered his face with one hand and quickly followed him, but after taking a few steps forward, he couldn't find Hong Sui's figure, which made him a little crazy. This is the capital of the Theocratic Kingdom and the Holy Court.

Headquarters, the witch swaggered in!

Standing in front of the Dior bakery chain, this is where Filio followed Hongsu. He looked around, looking for Hongsu. He saw Hongsu in a candy store not far away. This guy bought it with the two gold coins he just bought.

Lots of candies.

Just when Filio was about to expose her identity, he saw something that made him tremble. He saw Hong Su squatting next to a little girl and giving the little girl a lollipop with a smile on his face.

Witch ahhhh! Firion ran over in a hurry and wanted to grab the lollipop, but was blocked by Hong Su.

"Do you want to grab it? Don't worry, there are still many here."

"Ahem! I'm not here to eat sweets, why are you here!"

"Hey, kids, my sister is handing out candies to everyone. Come and grab the ones you want."

"Hello!"

There was a crowd of children around, and Filio was overwhelmed. The children only had candy in their eyes. Seeing Hong Su throwing the candy bag on the ground and leaving, there was nothing he could do to her. Filio had no choice but to look at the children.

The group swam against the current to follow Hong Su's figure, but Filio didn't dare to squeeze hard because he was afraid of hurting these children.

After a long time, Filio finally walked out of the candy store, and Hong Su was already standing at the intersection, ready to turn to the next street.

It is too much for the witch to wander the streets of the Theocracy. She must report it to the teacher and ask him to send someone to support her. When the Holy Court organizes a secret encirclement, Hong Sui will definitely have nowhere to escape.

Just when he thought this, Filio saw Hong Su giving the balloon in his hand to ordinary children from a distance. The very conspicuous red balloon and the red thread could be the curse of the witch! Filio was frightened by his thoughts.

At this time, the little girl holding the balloon walked towards him.

"Big brother, your sister asked me to give this to you."

"My sister...sister!? Sorry, my voice was a bit loud, ahem, thank you~ Well, this balloon..."

He took out a mint candy from his pocket to apologize to the little girl. Filio took the note, but looked at the balloon worriedly, so the little girl spoke again.

"Eldest sister said that if eldest brother has read the contents on the note, he will have no doubts."

"Um."

At this moment, Filio couldn't help but cover his face with one hand and nodded in embarrassment. He looked at the bright red writing on the note: Follow me and don't call anyone, or I will kill these children first. You know, the witch's curse ~ you should see it

Those who had the candy and this kid with the balloon.

"Despicable witch!"

He actually used a child as a threat. Filio gritted his teeth in hatred, crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket, and angrily followed Hong Su's footsteps. To be fair, Hong Su was a very beautiful girl, no matter where she walked.

Both men and women would look back at her, and then their wallets would be touched with a red line, and more or less money would be taken out.
