The Hero in Exile

"Isn't his name Scipio Boone?"

Why is this guy so excited?

Moran tried hard to recall, yes, this is the person.

When we fought before, he called himself the Knight Commander of the Church. Come to think of it, this guy is quite strong.

"Yes, that's him. Do you know him?"

Out of curiosity, Moran asked Lingyu anyway.

"How should I put it? He can be considered my teacher."

"Oh, is that so?"

Although it was unexpected, it wasn't too surprising.

"After I came here, he taught me how to live here, magic, literacy, and fighting. I guess he can be considered my teacher."

"From what you said, he's a pretty good guy."

"No, his every word and action is in line with the spirit of traditional knights. He is not like some nobles who use the title of knight only to show off or use it as a capital to flirt with other women."

After hearing Lingyu's words, Moran recalled the time when Ruilin City was about to be captured. He was the last one to evacuate after covering the retreat of civilians. He had to say that he still admired such an enemy.

Moran pointed in the direction the carriage left.

"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion and take a look. If the alert level is not high, maybe we can sneak Weiliana out."

"Well, I'll also take a look at how Bourne is doing now."

"You are so careless. It's hard enough to bring Weiliana out, and you still have the mind to think about these things."

Moran looked at Lingyu with a trace of sadness, wondering how she had survived to this day with her IQ. She was so stupid that she said she was an undercover sent by the church to be by his side.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Are you out of lust at this moment? Stay away from me." Lingyu vaguely sensed the gaze, and after successfully convincing herself, she slowly moved in the opposite direction of Moran.

"Can't you be serious at a time like this? And I know that you are an ordinary man with nothing to offer in your heart, okay? Anyone who would like you must be blind." Moran said in a tougher tone.

Moran pointed at Lingyu's forehead and poked it repeatedly. Although he was very angry, the good thing was that at least he was sure that no matter how stupid the people in the church were, they would not be so stupid.

I felt so tired that I couldn't help but let out a breath.

“Hiss…hiss…mmmm…mmmm.”

"Hey you……"

Seeing Lingyu sobbing and trying hard not to cry, her conscience couldn't help but condemn her.

It seemed that he had indeed said too much, and it might be that the harsh tone made her take it seriously. But then again, how are girls usually comforted when they cry? Moran suddenly recalled that he had rarely interacted with others in his life, let alone comfort.

"Hey, look at that guy making that girl cry."

"It seems to be true. Is it true that such scum appeared right after Ruilin City was recaptured?"

"He seems to be looking over here... Go and call the patrolling knight over there."

Under Moran's gaze, the two women passing by had already run away from the alley. Although there were few people here, there were always people passing by and it seemed that they had misunderstood something.

I hope they are just begging to scare people and not to go looking for the knights.

"Um, Ling..."

As soon as Moran opened his mouth, he heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Come here quickly, knights."

"Is it here?"

"Yes, just now there was a thug in that alley bullying a little girl."

Holy shit, this is really a joke!

Without caring about anything, Moran ran away as soon as possible, grabbed Lingyu and walked to the corner.

"No, Captain, let me search over there."

"It's over, it's over, I'm coming over here, oh well."

There was a not-too-big cardboard box next to the wall, but it felt like it was still a bit cramped for two people. However, it was better to just ignore it than to invite them into the bureau for tea.

"There's nothing here either. They run really fast."

In the dark little box, Moran listened carefully to the noise outside. Fortunately, this guy didn't find out, but now he is facing a huge problem.

The space in this box definitely doesn't allow Lingyu and I to sit side by side. In this emergency situation, I can only hold Lingyu in my arms in a rather ambiguous posture. Lingyu is now quite well behaved and still went out to apologize, but given his personality, he will definitely scold me.

"Xiao Liu, did you find anything over there?"

"Captain, there's nothing here."

"That guy got away quickly. Let's go back and make a record. We need to pay attention to these places during the next patrol."

"Okay."

As I listened to the footsteps fading away, I finally felt relieved. Lingyu's legs were numb from sitting on me for so long.

But what should I do now? It doesn't seem right to wake Lingyu up for no reason.

"Ok?"

I felt a drop of residual warm water passing across my palm, and my heart seemed to be gripped. I wanted to say something but couldn't open my mouth.

"sorry."

Moran whispered in Lingyu's ear. Moran followed his instinct and touched Lingyu's head and hugged her tighter.

Can anyone tell me what's going on now? Although I wanted to cry just now, it was mostly fake. How could I be so fragile? I was dozing off and accidentally dropped a drop of saliva on his hand. What should I say? Why is he holding me so tight now?

And just now he touched my head and whispered in my ear. I was so ashamed that I wanted to die. But the feeling of hugging like this was not too bad. And it felt so awkward to sit up like this. I just let my head lean on it. He definitely didn't want to do this. Right! He was apologizing just now. This is a punishment for me to be a chair again.

Without giving Moran a chance to react, Lingyu had already sat in his arms. The feel of her hair rubbing against her clothes and the lingering fragrance from the close contact made Moran blush.

Moran gave a bitter smile and decided to let her go this time.
