Chapter 66 Follow-up(1/2)
It seems that the quiet novice village is surging undercurrents.
After parting with Old Gray, Virnia took the initiative to leave the Novice Village and contacted the Knights who followed nearby to protect the brave.
A man-made open space emerged from the forest, and tents were set up on the spot.
The bonfire has been extinguished, and the fine sparks make crackling sounds. There is still a soup base left in the iron pot on the bonfire, and the smell of meat remains.
Although he was sleeping in the open after following the brave man's butt, he was rich and he was not panicked.
The Empire completely contracted their expenses. Although it was impossible for them to go to the red light district to be generous, the food was not bad even if they were not bad in the wild.
In addition, the brave man is rushing to the speed of traveling, and he eats delicious food and drinks every day, and his weight has increased significantly.
After dinner, the knights who were about to sit down and rest came an unexpected guest and stood up one after another, with the sound of armor colliding.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
The knights stroked their hands with their chests, knelt down on one knee, and saluted respectfully to the visitor.
"No gift, everyone has worked hard all the way!"
Virniya called out the knights with her hands, and then her eyes fell on the middle-aged knight who was led by the elder beard: "Captain Barnes, I came here rashly because I had something to ask you."
"good!"
Seeing His Royal Highness's solemn expression, Barnes shook away the other knights with his ears with his eyes and invited Virgia to the tent.
There was a simple table and chair in the tent, and both of them made it.
After sitting down.
Virniya was eager to ask questions, got to the point, and said bluntly: "Captain Barnes, something happened last night. I would like to ask if the Knights saw the brave man leave from the novice village last night!"
"Your Highness Princess, I don't understand what you mean!"
Barnes was able to be the position of the Knight Captain but not only had the strength, but immediately captured the seriousness of the problem, and his eyes narrowed: "Is there something wrong with Lord Brave?"
"Um......"
This matter cannot be hidden, and the Knights will help find people next, so Virniya simply told the original text of the matter.
However, in order to maintain the final image of the brave, Virniya only talked about the death of Aaron Gill, and the brave disappeared.
However, as long as you are a smart person, you can see the relationship between the two and whether you can point them out or not.
Although Barnes felt sorry for Aaron's death on his back, he was not really indignant and sighed.
"Sorry, Your Highness the Princess!"
After understanding the causes and consequences, Barnes also shook his head and said helplessly: "Although our Knights patrol the vicinity of the Novice Village, we have not been close to the Novice Village and are just outside, so we did not find any traces of the brave last night, nor did we meet the missing brave!"
The idea of Barnes and other knights was also very simple.
As the Knights who escorted the brave, they naturally knew something, such as the village chief of the novice village was the former Knight Chief of the National Guardian who was regarded as a benchmark by the knight.
Barnes once was the guard of the guardian of the country guardian Knight Grey Hoggez, and was taught by the opponent's skills. He was half a teacher and had a deep understanding of the combat power of this teacher.
These people ran to the novice village protected by the Knight of the Country to protect the brave, wouldn't they be playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong?
But the problem now is that the brave not only commits the crime but also runs away.
"It is all my subordinates who are incompetent and have negligent duties in protecting the brave. I also ask His Highness the Princess to punish him. I am willing to bear it with all my strength!"
As he said that, Barnes knelt on one knee with a thud and lowered his head very low.
The escort of the brave is a mission of the Knights. No one said that it would be fine to escort the brave to the novice village. Now the brave are lost and people are still dead.
Is it impossible to let the royal family take the blame, and it is even more impossible to let the former Knight of the National Guardian take the blame...
...So Barnes can only come out and carry it.
It’s really a mistake, but it’s not that Barnes is on the head. Virginia can’t really push people out and take the blame. Just as we talked about searching for the brave.
After the discussion, Virniya was so tired that she planned to go back and rest first.
Barnes sent it outside.
"Then the next mission of searching for the brave will trouble the Knights!"
After Virnia finished speaking, she returned to the Novice Village with the little maid guarding outside the tent. She did not return to Zuo Qiu's villa, but was also responsible for handling the funeral of Aaron Gill.
Although Aaron Gill is dead, there are still a lot of troubles to report to the royal city.
Virniya also needs to think carefully about how to pass the disappearance of the brave back to the royal city. The royal city has only stabilized from the riots created by the demon king because of the human patron saint.
If news of the disappearance of the brave man was heard at this time, you can imagine...
...It will be a mess!
There was a lot of troubles that Virniya had a headache. It was not until the evening that she sent Aaron Gill's body outside the Novice Village and handed it over to the Knights' Order for custody.
Virnia also wrote a letter and suggestions to bring Aaron Gill's relatives.
After taking every aspect into consideration, he dragged his tired and tired body back to Zuo Qiu's villa and was alone in the house. The food was brought in by Anna.
In the second half of the night, Virniya didn't expect how to report the disappearance of the brave to the royal city.
"Or... wait first!"
Unable to bear the sleepiness, Virnia came to lie down on the bed, and she didn't even change her clothes. She fell on the bed and muttered, and then fell asleep.
Virnia spent the next few days busy, and no one knew what she was busy with.
Except for the culprit.
"Husband, Virnia has lost a lot of weight recently. What has this child been busy with recently? I'm afraid that if she continues like this, she will be unable to bear it!"
The gentle and careful Miss Lu couldn't stand it anymore. This princess is only sixteen years old, but she doesn't live a pampered life at all, but she looks like an overtime worker in the 99-9 work period.
Before the culprit came out to stir up trouble, the elf young woman pushed her from the side, her arms were sinking deep into a pool and she couldn't extricate herself.
Zuo Qiufeng's mouth twitched and ignored Elsa's straightforward and unconcealed look.
"hey-hey!"
Elsa blinked, the brave man disappeared, no matter how he looked, it seemed to have been removed by the devil, thinking, "I even explained it to the goddess in my dream at night!"
Goddess of Nature: "I really thank you!"
.........
Another week passed after that.
The members of the Knights who searched for the brave returned in vain, and Virnia had to report the disappearance of the brave and asked the empire to send more manpower to search the whereabouts of the brave.
"Thank you for your care. This is a little bit of separation!"
On this day, Virniya had decided to leave and set off to return to the royal city. There was always an explanation for the disappearance of the brave. Before leaving, she gave several handmade small accessories to Zuo Qiu's family.
"Alchemy items seem to have a weak protection ability, and the effect is almost the same as resisting Goblin's attack!"
Zuo Qiufeng, as a part-time alchemist, made a comment.
tread!
"hiss!"
Zuo Qiufeng only felt that someone had stepped on his instep, and he took a breath in pain as if he was pretending to be painful.
After taking back his feet, Lu Wan'er took the gift given by the little girl carefully, gave the man a nice look, and complained with an angry laugh: "After all this is my wish!"
"Thanks!"
Elsa solemnly thanked her and Xiao Yake, and accepted the gift from Virgia for herself and Xiao Yake. She was about to part. For the elf young woman who had endured a hundred years of loneliness, people's departure was always sad.
"So beautiful, Xiao Pangda likes it very much!"
Little Pangda, who was pulling Lu Wan'er's trouser legs, immediately hung the pink and white necklace pendant around her neck, and grinned at Virgia with joy.
"Then, goodbye, Xiao Pangda, goodbye, Xiao Luleng and Xiao Yake will also see you!"
After saying hello to Zuo Qiufeng and the others, and saying goodbye to the three little guys with a smile, Virnia took Anna to the carriage parked at the door and drove away from the novice village by the nearby servant.
The carriage returned to the royal city with a bumpy journey.
Vieria, who had been rushing back to the empire, was resting in Dorenfell City, and planned to change horses to continue on the road. On the carriage, the discussions of pedestrians on the street came into the carriage.
Near the stable, two people who were like coming to return the horses gathered together and started chatting while waiting for the horses to handle them.
One of them said with a strange expression: "Hey, do you think it is true? The brave man has disappeared and has not been found yet. Could it be that he was spoiled by the demons!"
"Who knows, there is a rumor that the little things about the brave man seem to be related to the princess!"
"Hey... it's true, what does it have to do with the princess? If the princess is not with Wang Zhi, can it be that she will even go and mingle with the brave!"
Another man looked around and said in a low voice: "It seems that His Highness the Princess wants to become a partner of the brave. Who knows that the brave disappeared suddenly. If you really say that it has nothing to do with our princess, I don't believe it!"
“Is it…”
"You two are talking about something there, it is a serious crime to argue about the royal family!"
At this moment, a team of patrol knights passed by and shouted at the two of them, saying that if the two of them were not running fast, they would have been invited to have tea.
But these conversations also fell into the ears of Virgia in the carriage.
To be continued...
