Chapter 81 That Man Symbolizes Freedom (Part 1)
The next day, the witcher apprentice rarely got up and went for a morning run. Yesterday was too exciting and happy, and his spirit had increased. He needed a little more sleep time adjustment, so he didn't know that at this time, the people of Vizima had already prepared for him. Batman and seething.
There were many people active in the prosperous trade area last night, and the process was too topical. Of course, those who witnessed the street chase would not remain silent.
"Wearing the extremely shameful close-fitting leather jacket, the man in black running for freedom ran away in front, while the Temerian Royal Guard, symbolizing glory, and the young and beautiful Princess Yada chased behind."
Although people familiar with the matter knew well that this incident was just an accident, this did not prevent the melon-eating people from using their rich imagination and constantly creating one after another with the words "It is said", "I heard", "Secretly following" A story that begins with "You said."
…
At the headquarters of the Knights of the Flaming Rose, Siegfried knocked on the door and entered the inner room. He bowed to his leader, Jaques of Aldeburgh, and said, "Leader!"
"Siegfried, there is something for you to do. It was given to me by Princess Yada." Without much greeting, Jaques went straight to the point.
Rose Knight suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression on his face: "Could it be about... that free man?"
The leader nodded, "Yes, go find this Batman. Command a team of people to go to the tavern to investigate, and ask your friends by the way. Remember that Princess Yada wants to live and be whole."
The Rose Knight touched his nose. He rarely made such undignified actions in front of the leader, "With all due respect to the leader, I have heard too much ridiculous news before I came here, so if you want me to search I hope to learn more concrete information about this free Batman, such as what is the relationship between him and Her Royal Highness...?"
Thinking of the whole incident, Jaquez's serious face couldn't help but burst into laughter. He handed a piece of paper directly to Siegfried, "I was about to show you, this is the record from last night, the same report Vincent There is also a copy over there. I asked the knights who participated in the hunt and the people who witnessed it, and this is basically the truth. "
The Rose Knight spread out the note, and the description above was brief and simple:
"Last night in the trade area, when a drunkard was harassing a woman, two men in black suddenly appeared and beat him up, resulting in a fight involving six people. When the victorious men in black left, they happened to meet Princess Yada who had returned from hunting. Seeing his suspicious appearance, the princess ordered his arrest to determine if he was a dangerous person. The man in black, who called himself Batman, fled in the trading area and refused to be captured. He finally fell from the city wall and disappeared without a trace. "
Raising his head, Siegfried looked at Jaques with a dull expression. Comparing the contents on the paper with the rumors in the market, he felt that the whole thing was absurd.
But the leader can confirm that this piece of paper is basically the truth. The leader will not hide anything for Princess Yada. In other words, the rumors outside are really slandering the princess this time.
After thinking for a while, the knight pointed to the last part and asked: "Did you fall into the city wall and not die?"
The leader of the Knights of the Flaming Rose, Jaques of Aldeburgh, shook his head meaningfully: "No, the knights at the scene said that Batman could fly, but the description was closer to floating or gliding. He fell gently into the city. In the jungle outside.”
"Mage!?"
"Several of the accompanying knights carry anti-magic equipment. Although it is not ruled out that the distance is too far and the interference effect is not exerted, there is another possibility."
"Monster!" Siegfried understood and said calmly.
The leader closed his eyes and leaned back tactically, "Yes, I can't tell whether it's a cloak or wings in the dark. Anyway, try to find him. If it's a monster, get rid of it. And if it's a human... fulfill Princess Yada's request." "
Siegfried bowed deeply, "Your will."
The reaction of the Knights of the Flaming Rose is just one of the countless interest groups in Vizima. There are many more groups that have noticed Batman's existence for different reasons and purposes.
As for the common people, because they couldn’t see the report and didn’t know such a noble name as “Batman”, they named him after his deeds. Since he escaped from Yada’s clutches, let’s call him “that one” Free man". In addition, some children will call him "black banana" for unknown reasons.
…
The magic of the world is unpredictable. Rose Knight felt grimly that he would take on a difficult task, because Batman might be an unknown monster, a mage, or a stranger with special abilities.
No matter which one it was, this search mission was very difficult, almost like finding a needle in a haystack, so he never expected that he would actually find the target right away.
In view of the possibility that it was related to monsters, Rose Knight first visited the witcher apprentice's home, and it was Batman who opened the door and let him in.
"What's going on? You are so free to come to see me today." Victor, who had just woken up and was still a little groggy, took out milk from the kitchen to drink and served Siegfried with beer.
"Usually you should have gotten up at this time. Why did you and Angouleme sleep so late today? Didn't you two go somewhere to play yesterday?" The Knight of Roses has visited several times, so he sat down and drank the beer. .
"Don't think too much about things you don't have. There will always be times when you want to sleep in, so you'd better tell me why you're here first!"
"Okay! Since you just woke up, you must not know about the trouble that happened in the trade area last night..."
Yawning, Victor drank milk while listening to the Rose Knight describing his experience last night from a spectator's perspective, as well as those weird "rumors" that had nothing to do with the truth and were about to sail to the end of the world. The young man tried hard to remain faceless throughout the process. Change color.
After listening to the statement, the young man was speechless, "..., so it is rumored that he was once a special slave tamed by Princess Yada. Because he couldn't bear it, he chose to escape. He was called 'the free man', but in fact he was just a transvestite who suddenly appeared." .
But as long as the complete and alive 'Batman' is captured, Princess Yada can be exchanged for a generous reward, and the Knights now slightly suspect that he may be some kind of flying monster. "
"The understanding is very good. This is roughly what it is. There are several major factions now, the 'Vincent' of the City Guards, the shameful Knights of the Guards 'Rodrick', the Hand of the King 'Roche' and our Rose. The Knights are all looking for this Batman who suddenly popped up." At this point, Siegfried spat angrily.
Victor touched his nose and said, "Don't take it so seriously. From what you've said, I just think he's just a man wearing strange clothes."
The knight tapped the table, "His escape was a slap in the face to the Guards Knights. The most noble knights in Temeria could not catch a pervert running naked in the street. This incident has become a laughing stock among the court nobles." .
"The king's power extends to the whole world, don't compete with the emperor." Since Princess Yada wants this person, we will find this person. "
Victor was not in the mood to laugh at or sympathize with the knights who had become the butt of the joke. He was thinking about whether there were other flaws exposed yesterday that would be enough to trace him.
If so, he will soon be laughed at. Regardless of whether he will be hanged or not, at least he will be recorded in the history books.
He does not want "Black Banana" to become a footnote in his life.
