Banner of the Evil God

The core of Viscount Gelten is, of course, Gelten City.

Generally speaking, civilians in this world do not have surnames, only nobles have them. The surnames of nobles are their titles. To emphasize this point, they will most likely name their ruling centers after their family surnames.

For example, Duke Zhang San (assuming there is such a duke), the capital of his dukedom is called Zhang San City - oh, it should be called "Zhang" City, because "Zhang" is the surname.

Another example is that the two candidates currently competing for the right of succession in Viscount Gelten are Romon Gelten, who claims to be the illegitimate son of the old viscount, and Steele Gelten, the niece of the old viscount.

Then, for example, Lei, who is wearing Sui Xiong's incarnation as a hat on his head at this moment, must also have a surname, but he just refuses to say it.

Of course, it is not necessary for nobles to have surnames, many clergy also have surnames. For example, clergy who are favored by God can get a surname given by God. For example, if Sui Xiong's holy land is built, the senior clergy who participate in the construction and management of the holy land can also use the name of the holy land as their surname. Of course, non-clergy have also been given names... but no matter what, they are a minority.

In general, in Sui Xiong's opinion, the level of civilization development in this world is really not high enough. It has not yet developed to the point where it is necessary to register the names of civilians on a large scale, so that it is necessary to give civilians surnames. On Earth, China has completed this work at the latest in the Warring States Period. Compared with the level of productivity, even if magic is not considered, the productivity level of this world is higher than that of China in the Warring States Period!

It can be seen that the rulers of this world, whether nobles or gods, are all a group of war scum who hinder the development of civilization!

When Sui Xiong was complaining about the rulers of this world, Lei had already gone to Gelten City with Steele along the obviously poorly maintained dirt road.

He did not ride his swift dragon, but released it when he approached the edge of the Graystone Mountains, allowing it to regain its freedom. Because the feature of "black-armored knight riding a swift dragon" is so conspicuous, in comparison, the phrase "black-armored knight" is much more common.

In order to restore the nature of the beast to this already completely domesticated riding animal, the proud and stubborn man even asked Sui Xiong for help, using Sui Xiong's power to stimulate the wildness in the heart of the swift dragon, so that it can adapt to life in the mountains and forests.

When the mount that had accompanied him for several years suddenly showed a fierce light in its eyes and seemed to want to attack, but after carefully considering each other's strength, it left without any attachment, Sui Xiong noticed that the lone thief showed deep sadness in his eyes.

Perhaps... for this man who has been accustomed to loneliness for many years, the mount is almost his only friend. At this moment, they parted ways, and it can be said that they were completely broken off, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

Lei's riding skills were very good, which surprised Steele. Although she called Lei a "knight", she didn't really think of him as a knight in her heart - who has ever seen a poor knight without a mount, carrying a gun and a sword, trekking alone in the mountains?

A true knight, no matter how poor he is, a sword in his hand and a horse under his crotch are indispensable. Without these two most important weapons, his strength will be greatly reduced.

But when she witnessed the amazing riding skills of the black-armored knight, she doubted her previous judgment.

A person who made a horse with a violent temperament become docile and obedient with just two touches of his hand; a person who rode a horse as easily as walking, and even the rhythm of his speech was not affected at all; a person who rode a horse, the movements of the man and the horse were completely coordinated, and it seemed that he could draw the sword and fight at any time... Such people are not knights, and the standards of knights are too high!

In her impression, the most famous knights in Gelten Territory seemed to be just like this.

Could this mysterious black-armored knight really be a powerful knight?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel uneasy again.

Knights, especially powerful knights, generally have a good background. There are two most common origins, one is the children with a low inheritance order in aristocratic families, and the other is the elites specially trained by the church. No matter which one, she must have seen the world and understood the "rules of the nobility".

She was confident that she could play with an adventurer who knew only a little about the world of the nobility, but facing a knight of true noble origin, or a candidate for a high position carefully cultivated by a certain church, this confidence would inevitably shrink greatly.

Is she better at playing tricks than other nobles? Obviously not. If so, why did she almost lose her life to the illegitimate son with a questionable origin who took over the power?

Then, compared with the candidate for the church? I'm afraid it's not much better, after all, he was originally trained to play against the nobles and intrigue with each other. Maybe he is better at using his brain than using a sword...

Thinking of this, Steele couldn't help but feel uneasy, feeling that she seemed to be suspected of driving a tiger out of the front door and letting a wolf in the back door.

What's worse is that the tiger at the front door is still there...

Steel Gelten, who always thought she was very smart and beautiful (the latter was especially important) and the best of the younger generation of Gelten (maybe if she only considered certain things), suddenly felt that her previous choice might not be so wise.

But as the saying goes, "there is no turning back when you open a bow." Now she was forced to a corner, and stretching her head or shrinking her head was nothing more than a knife. Like a commoner who was forced into a noble court, the charges and punishments were all arranged, and the trial was just a formality. At this time, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, you must use all your firepower and use your rhetoric to the fullest. It is best to be able to swamp the whole audience and make the plaintiff and the judge speechless.

In this case, even if the imperial bard sings "No matter how wonderful the prisoner's defense is, he is not worthy of applause" the next day, at least he has tried hard and can still smile slightly and say silently "This is the point" on the gallows. "I mean, it's not a crime of war" and win the final dignity for yourself.

Thinking this way, Steele felt relieved.

No matter what, it's better than being fucked and strangled to death by those lovers...

The two horses carried the knights on their backs and walked towards the city of Gerten in a leisurely manner. When he saw Steele passing by on horseback intact, the guard captain responsible for guarding the city gate's eyes widened, almost to the point where one doubted whether his eyeballs would fall out.

"Miss...Steele?!" He subconsciously stopped in front of Steele's horse, but didn't know what to say.

Say "welcome back"? It's inappropriate. If Master Luo Meng finds out that he welcomes Miss Steele in public, you don't have to think about his fate!

So, "Why are you here?" No, Miss Steele is still the heir to the Viscount, second only to Master Romon in the succession. I am just a janitor, and this is not in bed, how can I be disrespectful to her! Do you really think that a terminally ill tiger can’t kill a person?

What should I say...

A layer of fine sweat beads appeared on the burly captain's forehead, and they quickly moved closer to each other and grew larger. In less than half a minute at most, they turned into two lines of sweat flowing down his cheeks.

Fortunately, he was a veteran after all, and he was quite quick-witted. He reluctantly came up with an excuse and asked with a smile: "Miss Steele, didn't you take a group of people out of the city before? Why did you only bring one when you came back?" ?”

Steele smiled coldly, completely losing her usual arrogance of ogling people when she saw them. She raised her head, looked at people with her nostrils, and said in the most aristocratic and arrogant tone: "I don't know yet. A guard at the gate of Gerten City dares to question the lord he is loyal to - do you think that I need to report to you what I do and what followers I bring? "

These words are indeed a bit strong, and they have simply risen to the level of class struggle. The captain suddenly became excited, stood at attention, put on the most upright military posture, and shouted loudly: "Line up! Welcome Miss Steele back to the city!"

Although the soldiers didn't quite understand, when they saw that their superiors had been dealt with, they didn't know how to be alert! They immediately formed two teams according to their usual training and put on a welcoming formation.

Strictly speaking, what they did was not in line with the rules. This kind of etiquette of lining up to welcome was something that only the lords could enjoy. Now that the old Viscount has passed away and the position of Viscount is vacant, no one in the Gerten Territory is qualified to receive such a welcome.

But at this time, who will delve into it?

According to the original plan, there probably was, because Luo Meng arranged two people at the city gate just to deal with possible accidents.

But seeing this scene from a distance, one of the two people had already jumped on his horse and ran towards the Viscount's mansion to deliver the message. The other person, who seemed to have good strength, thought about it again and again, but finally did not come to stop him.

These two people were able to be entrusted with important tasks. Of course, they were not fools. Seeing that Steele, a weakling who was about to die, suddenly transformed. Not only was she full of confidence, but the group of bribed lovers around her were also replaced by a man of unknown origin. The black-armored knight immediately felt something was wrong.

Since something is wrong, we cannot act rashly. In particular, the strength left behind is extraordinary, close to the level of a high-level swordsman, and his vision is outstanding. He looked at Lei carefully, and was shocked to find that although the black-armored knight was riding a horse, his body was in a position that could respond to attacks from any direction at any time. He was simply invulnerable - this could no longer be described as "strong" , completely beyond imagination!

He has seen all the most powerful knights in Geerten. Those few can maintain such a state, but only when facing a battle. But this black-armored knight obviously has no intention of starting a fight, but can maintain this state in his daily life.

He came to the conclusion easily without any complicated logic.

A conclusion that made his legs weak with fear.

This black-armored knight of unknown origin is likely to be a high-level adventurer, maybe even - close to a legend!
