Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 22 Too Generous
"no--?"

The teenager's screams echoed in the church, and Cyril's fingers were dug into the flesh, and he resisted the urge to pull out the knife and stab the wanderer in front of him to the heart - after all, there is a high probability that he will be hacked to death Not the other party, but yourself.

"Why not?" He posted it closer to the wanderer, and the saliva was almost sprayed on the wanderer's mask, "So what you said just now is all nonsense?"

Although the NPCs are all talking nonsense, this is the consistent style of "Road to Glory", but after talking nonsense, you have to let me take office?

Otherwise, wouldn't I listen to your nonsense for nothing?

"Calm down, young knight boy." The wanderer reached out helplessly and pushed Cyril away, "I admit that your quality is very good, but I can't let you work as a wanderer—at least I can't."

"So what's the reason?" Cyril stared at the other party. He had spent so much effort just now to erase some bad influences on his growth path, but he was frustrated at the most important juncture, which he couldn't accept.

"Uh... because you are too generous?" The rogue hesitated for a moment, then replied in a questioning tone.

"Too generous? Is that a reason? And how can I be generous?" Cyril almost laughed out of anger. Even if he knew that the other party was prevaricating himself, he wouldn't be fooling himself with such an unfounded reason, right?

"Well... you want to put so many fortresses on the front line into combat readiness at the same time, do you know how much it will cost?" The rogue thought for a while, and then asked Cyril from a strange angle.

"How much is the cost of the fortress?" Cyril couldn't help being taken aback, but he hadn't considered this question.

He thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe more than one hundred thousand Gentry?"

This is already a very high number, and Cyril really doesn't understand it, so he can only guess a number at random.

But the rogue shook his head and said: "One hundred thousand Gentry is only the cost of opening those fortresses. It will cost thousands of Gentry every month to maintain it. If there is a major damage, it will cost more money to repair it. This does not include the increased military expenditure in wartime..."

"You may not know that the kingdom is trying its best to clean up the pirates in the south, and there are other countries behind them. In recent years, La Rochelle's treasury has been rapidly consumed." The wanderer sighed, "Mages will not go to Pay attention to this, and the fools of the Knights will not, only us wanderers who are struggling all day long will care about it-although it has nothing to do with us."

Cyril frowned deeply.What the rogue said was true. In order to fully cope with the war in the north, La Rochelle seemed to have signed unequal treaties with neighboring countries.

But these large amounts of money related to the treasury are not within the reach of solo players like Cyril.If this is the case, it is only natural that the magic city defenses of the fortress are closed all year round.

The wanderer looked at Cyril frowning, and felt a little more at ease. Anyway, he finally managed to fool the young half-elf—this thought had just flashed through his mind, but he saw the young man's eyes once again focused on On himself, and then said:

"But your Excellency, if the northern border is invaded by the undead, the loss is not just the value of Gentry. And it is the kingdom that pays, not me. The word 'generous' can't convince me, and I believe it can't convince you either. Own."

Cyril stared at the wanderer. The other party was avoiding the topic so obviously, it must be because of some scruples, otherwise, with the ability he showed, no wanderer mentor would refuse.

Maybe even the ranger warrior mage mentor next door will come over to snatch him.

"I need a reason that can convince me."

The wanderer heaved a long sigh, as if he could see that he couldn't dispel his thoughts without giving a suitable reason - he might be able to walk away, but the other party just got Roderick's appreciation...

"Because I can't beat that woman, if I let her know that I have snatched people from her regiment, I will be directly issued a warrant." The wanderer said, reaching out to take off the cloak, and then took off the mask, revealing A head of messy brown hair, a tall nose bridge, and deep eyes——

As for the whole picture of his face, Cyril still couldn't see it.

Because under the mask, there is another mask that covers most of the face.

"If you're just an ordinary knight apprentice, of course I can change your class, but I'm sorry, if Roderick has decided to report your name to that woman, it means you are good enough. I don't dare to compete with her." Talent." The wanderer sighed, "You don't know, it's too scary for that woman to go crazy—"

"I want to ask, are you familiar with the woman you mentioned?" Cyril asked with the corners of his eyes twitching.

"It's hard to explain." The wanderer shook his head and sighed. "When we were young, we were in an adventure group. She was the leader and I was an errand runner."

"By the way, that Roderick is the deputy captain."

"Then, may I ask what your surname is?"

"Sheldon. My name is Eleanor Sheldon."

Cyril suddenly fell silent.

He really didn't know whether his luck was considered good or bad—the one standing in front of him was one of the most famous wanderers in La Rochelle in the future, "Shadow Man" Sheldon. His deeds were to steal the crown symbolized by the royal family of La Rochelle and hand it over to the rebels, leaving his name in the history of the entire continent.

Iris, who is suspected to be a descendant of the Christian family, Roderick, the owner of the Star Tower, and Sheldon the Shadow, damn it, this luck is really good, but can it be used in something that will help my growth? On the place!
If you can learn skills from the shadow man in front of you, you will definitely get enhanced versions of "stealth" and "stealing". Compared with combat skills, these skills may be more important. very hungry stuff...

But the other party didn't charge me!
And Sheldon seemed to have noticed that the half-elf in front of him had a very sincere love for the wanderer and his party, and his face was a little uneasy, so he spoke to comfort:
"Young man, those with outstanding talents don't have to shackle themselves on one road. Although those knights are indeed stupid and stupid, they are indeed the people who have the most passion for this kingdom. I believe you will be able to make a difference. After all, that woman She is indeed capable, and her knight order is indeed extraordinary..."

He didn't want to miss this seedling, but he couldn't do it with his level and status if he wanted to compete with the head of the dignified Silver Blade Knights.

He stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the young man in front of him, and was about to put on his mask and cloak again - he went to the church every day just as a cutscene, and the Tower of the North Wind usually didn't have newcomers who would come to take office, and he had a task to do, There are many things to be busy with.

But the young man in front of him suddenly spoke loudly, making his movements stop:
"Your Excellency Sheldon, I think maybe we can go another way..."

Cyril's eyes seemed to be shining, and he stared at Sheldon with a piercing gaze. A new plan was brewing in his mind.

"Let's trade."

　The second update is coming!

　　In addition, explain the male protagonist’s motivation for choosing the route of saving the country. In Chapter 1, the basic reason is actually explained: “In 1440, the beginning of the 13-year disaster in the Kingdom of La Rochelle was from the north of the kingdom, which is where he is today. It started where he was. As a player in his previous life, he could only watch La Rochelle struggle and sink in the great current, and finally perish in a corner of the bay and be annexed by neighboring countries that had been eyeing it for a long time.

　　He died countless times in that long war, and even though he was on the front line of the players, there was still no possibility of bringing La Rochelle back to life. "

　　In short, he tried, failed, and now has a new chance.

　　"He never thought that he would one day travel to the game. He is familiar with the historical process of the game, and he returns to the beginning of the disaster with a complete memory, and he can have the opportunity to grow at a speed beyond the version——

　　With him like this, does he have a chance to save La Rochelle? "

　　And this is one of the elements that support him to do it, because he now has hope of success.

　　I don't think it should be difficult to understand.
