Who is the noble opposite?
Merlin didn't show any face to the other party, and abruptly pulled the white horse rider off his horse.
The rider on the white horse was lying on the ground like a dog, his face sunk into the muddy ground.
The other knights behind were commotions, and some even drew their swords. It was obvious that the knight on the white horse was their leader.
Hobbs stared wide-eyed, a little stunned. He didn't expect Merlin to be so decisive, and directly insulted the knight, without any extra communication.
"Hehe, are you calm now? You are asking us for directions, and we kindly tell you which way is the closest. You don't need to thank us, but you are still acting like a nobleman? It's ridiculous..." Merlin looked down. Looking at the knight on the white horse, the disdain on his lips was merciless, which further hurt the dignity of the other party.
"Mei...Merlin, this is not good, the other party belongs to Grand Duke Qiangwei..." Hobbs turned pale, and it depends on the owner to beat a dog. If this is wrong, it will easily offend people.
Who is Grand Duke Rose?The lord of Wales, the person with the most say, is under the jurisdiction of the London royal family, but every feudal official is a local emperor.
Now the two little black iron adventurers beat up the guard of his daughter, and they might cause a series of troubles.
"What's the big carrot and the cabbage? Don't panic, why don't you fight back when someone beats you? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, do you understand?" Merlin said seriously to Hobbs.
"This..." Hobbs frowned, as if he had heard this sentence before, "Isn't this the creed of the demons? If you say it in front of the priests, you will be burned on the stake..."
Merlin just wanted to make a joke, but the white horse knight on the ground had already stood up, the patterned armor on his body became dirty, and his face was covered with mud, like a mask.
"You two black iron adventurers...you are so brave!"
"I, Kyle, have suffered such humiliation for the first time since I became the Rose Knight!"
The white horse knight Kyle yelled at Merlin and Hobbs. He reached out and threw the helmet on the ground, revealing his messy brown hair, and wiped the mud off his face with his rain-stained hands.
Then Kyle took off the black spear behind his back, put himself in a stance, shook his wrist, the sharp tip of the spear gleamed coldly, and released a high-level fighting spirit pressure from his body, blowing away the humid air around him.
"This is no longer as simple as insulting me, but insulting Grand Duke Rose. In order to protect the glory of Rose Knights, I will fight you two!"
"Come on! Let's go together!"
Although Kyle seemed so passionate that he almost had the words "I am a loyal dog" engraved on his forehead, Merlin and Hobbs looked very calm and expressionless.
It's not that Merlin has never seen aristocratic lackeys. A small part of them advocate loyalty and guard some inexplicable honors, making it like entering an MLM organization and going through brainwashing.
"It feels like he's a bitch..." Hobbs muttered secretly.
"Yeah, if you eat a mouthful of mud, you will die. If you eat shit, you will kill the whole family, right?" Merlin also muttered.
"What are you two muttering about?! You are ignoring my duel, looking for death!"
Kyle waved the spear, and the high-level fighting spirit surged, making the weapon very agile. He directly used high-level martial arts at Merlin and Hobbs, trying to stab them into a hornet's nest.
The fierce gun shadows are unpredictable, and finally converge at one point, and burst out through it!
Merlin just put his hand on the hilt of the knife, intending to kill this reckless guy, but suddenly there was a delicate voice
"Stop Kyle!"
Kyle was shocked, quickly put away his offensive, and looked behind blankly, "Miss Cecilia..."
On the gorgeous carriage surrounded and protected by knights, a girl slowly stepped down.
Typical blond hair with big waves, ruby earrings swaying from side to side, wearing a pure white priest's long dress, embroidered with gold thread patterns, instantly improving the style, and the pure white staff in his hand exudes the breath of a holy order.
Cecilia was helped out of the carriage by the maid, her posture was elegant, and nobility and rebellion flashed in her eyes.
Hobbs looked at Cecilia, and immediately showed a somewhat idiotic uncle's expression, "Hey, brother Merlin, this chick looks a bit real, and she is also the Duke's daughter, so typical Bai Fumei, I think... "
"Please be normal." Merlin responded helplessly, wondering if he was right?I don't feel it, it's just normal.
Cecilia walked up to Kyle, followed by the maid with an umbrella.
"Kyle, is the glory of the Rose Knights so cheap? Can you really say that you want to fight the weak?"
Merlin raised his eyebrows, thinking weak?Are you talking about me?No, no, it should be Hobbs.
Kyle put down the spear, knelt down on one knee, put his hands on his chest, bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, Lord Cecilia, it's just that these two untouchables insulted you as a disabled person, I..."
"So what? These two civilians have never seen me, why blame them? Could it be that two ants blocked the way forward, so we won't go?" Cecilia's words were stinging, obviously looking down on Merlin and Hobbs.
"Master Cecilia is right, blame me for being reckless." Kyle said very humbly.
Merlin was a little annoyed, a mere human aristocrat, why did he speak with a sense of superiority?When I was the Demon Lord, I was still easy to approach.
Cecilia was very satisfied with Kyle's reaction, so she maintained a noble posture, and Merlin and Hobbs, who pretended to be magnanimous, said, "It was my servant who disturbed you two. I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Lord Cecilia..." Kyle's eyes were watery, and he was completely moved.
Merlin felt that Cecilia's apology was not sincere at all, and he didn't even bend his waist, and the contempt in his eyes never retreated in the slightest.
"That...shouldn't the apology show your chest?"
Hobbs covered Merlin's mouth like lightning, and whispered, "Merlin, what are you doing? Don't talk nonsense..."
"Uh..." Cecilia was stunned, thinking that she had heard wrong, she showed her breasts and apologized. What does this mean?Wouldn't it be naked sexual harassment?
"You dirty bastard, what did you say to Miss Cecilia?!" Kyle picked up the spear and stood up desperately.
"Slow down." Cecilia stopped the impulsive Kyle.
"Master Cecilia, they..." Kyle was a little hard to accept.
"Forget it, there's no need to get angry with the stupid guy, time is running out, let's go." Cecilia turned around and left with the staff in hand, and the maid hurriedly followed behind to hold an umbrella.
"Hmph!" Kyle knew which was more important, so he snorted coldly and got on his horse again.
Hobbs breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party didn't care about it, and said lightly, "I advise you not to take the northern road to Denbighshire..."
Cecilia stopped and asked curiously, "Why?"
"Because it is easy to encounter groups of burning rhinos migrating, we have said it again just now." Merlin answered for Hobbs, and then continued to drink vodka on his own.
"Ha..." Cecilia smiled contemptuously, glanced at the adventurer certificates on the necks of the two, and said disdainfully, "Two humble black irons? What is the credible value of what is said in the trash mouth?" ?”
Merlin frowned, screwing on the cap of the vodka bottle silently, thinking
This noble girl.
Temper is more annoying than Alice...

Chapter 24: Rewards and Updates
"My house is very big, and I got lost every day when I was a child."
"And there are too many maids. They don't have to dress themselves every day, and they change into a custom-made dress every few hours. They are all made of mysterious oriental silk. I heard that a piece of fabric costs a lot of money."
"But what is money? I've never touched money."
"To me, money is just a number and has no other meaning. I feel that having money makes me unhappy."
"I'm tired of the days when I open my mouth for clothes and stretch out my hands for food, so Miss Alice, do you understand what I mean?"
Arnold kept babbling along the way, basically showing off his wealth, talking about a bunch of things that Alice had never heard before, as if he would die if he didn't show off.
This kind of subtle and invisible pretense really annoys the people at the bottom.
"Ha..." Alice laughed dryly, already immune to Arnold's showing off, thinking I understand a ghost, please shut up and stay quiet for a while, okay? !
Although Alice's reaction has always been cold, Arnold never tires of it, hoping to impress the other party with a superior life and arouse interest.
Little did they know that the more Arnold flaunted his wealth like this, the more disgusted Alice was, because he was not from the same world, how could he communicate?
Arnold saw that Alice didn't respond, so he continued to say to himself, "I mean, Miss Alice, you have rekindled my hope in life. I remember that half a year ago, I went to Elgin City to visit instead of my father. Uncle, when I saw your valiant and heroic appearance on the road, my heart stopped at that time. If Aphrodite, the god of love, really existed, I think it must be Miss Alice. To Miss Alice."
"Ha..." Alice still responded indifferently, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "We... When did we meet half a year ago? Why don't I have any impression?"
Alice went to Elgin City half a year ago to help deal with the giant wild boars that were raging in the farmland. At the same time, she also witnessed the birth of the legend, and fell in love with Elgin Great Swordsman at first sight.
But I really don't have any impression of Arnold. I don't remember meeting him half a year ago. I only know that this second generation ancestor came to the union to hang out.
"You are so fickle, Miss Alice, we really met half a year ago..." Arnold was helpless, seeing the doubts on Alice's face, and continued to explain, "I proposed to you at that time, you really don't remember gone?"
"Eh!?" Alice's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "I beg...a marriage proposal?!! I don't remember at all?"
"Maybe it happened suddenly, and it's normal for Alice to forget, but the scene at that time is still fresh in my memory..." Arnold showed a yearning look, and said slowly, "I knelt on one knee, stretched out my hand, with a serious expression, "Beautiful lady, I am willing to hold you in the palm of my hand as the love of my life, will you marry me? ""
"Uh!" Alice had goosebumps all over her body and asked nervously, "I...how did I answer?"
"You said to me 'G, U, N! ", and then quickly disappeared." Arnold said embarrassingly, the first marriage proposal in his life ended in failure.
"Haha..." Alice wiped off her cold sweat, thinking that she was right, this is really her own answer, how could she agree to Arnold, who is mentally retarded?But I really can't remember the marriage proposal.
"Although I was rejected by Miss Alice, I will not be discouraged. I will let you see my shining point." Arnold said confidently.
"You are so annoying..." Alice said helplessly.
"Don't worry, I can definitely prove that I am better than that bumpkin Merlin. If you want Miss Alice to change your mind and regain your mating rights, I am willing to take this game..." Arnold said very seriously, not looking at Alice getting more and more serious. Cold face.
"Can I ask you to die?" Alice smiled without smiling, trembling with the rapier in her hand, "I have nothing to do with that bastard Merlin..."
"No need to explain, I understand Miss Alice." Arnold felt that Alice was comforting himself, and continued, "This trial in Denbighshire is an opportunity, and I want to defeat my rival in a straight way and prove that I am better. "
"You may not be much better than Merlin. You are nothing, and you still... invite others." Alice whispered, and secretly glanced at the silent Claude beside her.
"Miss Alice, don't worry about these details, money is also a kind of strength." Arnold changed the subject cheekily, "Don't you think we are destined?"
"Oh, I don't think so at all." Alice was expressionless.
"We met in Elgin. At that time, I saw that your adventurer proved to be in Wrexham. I was very happy, but also very sorry. Why didn't I find Miss Alice when I lived in Wrexham for almost 20 years? Let I have wasted so much of my youth, my heart hurts..."
Arnold was sad, but only briefly.
"But God gave me a chance to make up for it. After returning to Wrexham, I applied to become an adventurer. When I met you, I remember that on the day of application, Rukia asked me if my head was kicked by a donkey, so I came here to be an adventurer." , I replied: For Miss Alice, I am willing to give my heart!"
"Go away, you, stay away from me, like a stalker, disgusting!" Alice's scalp tingled when she heard that, feeling like she was being targeted by cockroaches.
"Don't be so indifferent, Ms. Alice, we are destined. We have experienced the birth of the legend of the Elgin swordsman together. We also live in the same city and work together." Arnold tried to get closer.
Alice raised her eyebrows, wishing she could kick Arnold out of the car, what kind of destined person?She likes Elgin's legendary swordsman. Although she has only seen a hazy back, there should be a handsome face in front.
However, Alice didn't tell anyone about her secret love, and kept it as a secret in her heart.
Because it would be embarrassing to be known, falling in love with a legendary hero or something, no matter how you look at it, it is a girlish dream, a very unrealistic fantasy.
Not to mention that Elgin's identity, status, and appearance are unknown, and he likes an illusory person, who is regarded as a psychopath.
"Can I ask a question?"
