707 The Student of a Legendary Knigh (2/2)

In the middle of discussion, the business convoy reached the city gate. At this moment, a team of cavalrymen rode out of the city fast and neatly. They had obviously been trained for a long time.

Those cavalrymen were in black, full armor, their faces covered by the masks of their helmets. They looked as cold and cruel as if they were from a bloodstained battlefield.

Their left arm had a blood red emblem, in which a red bear was holding a head with its left paw.

”Count Vladimir's Blood Bear Legion…” In an extremely low voice, Yakov introduced them to Katrina.

Katrina was actually no stranger to them. Although the Vladimir's family was based in the northwest province, they had certain influence on the neighboring north province, too. For example, Calcate City was the hereditary dominion of the Vladimir family, whose liege was known as 'Count Calcate'. The emblem of blood bear that represented strength and honor was their unique sigil.

Anna said enviously, ”The Blood Bear Legion? They must be going to welcome Viscount Andree!”

”Viscount Andree?” Katrina did not know what the name represented, although he did sound like the next Count Calcate.

”Yes, Viscount Andree became an official knight at twenty, a grand knight at twenty-five, and a top grand knight two months ago. He was recruited by the legendary knight 'Nicolle' as his student! He will certainly become a radiant knight and the strongest Count Calcate!” Anna spoke as if he were the prince charming for her.

Nicolle, the Storm of Death? Katrina was more or less surprised. This level-one legendary knight was the current leader of the Furtado family and the de facto governor of the north province. However, wasn't the Furtado family in disagreement with the Vladimir family and dissatisfied with them meddling in the affairs of the north province?

If Andree Vladimir did need a legendary knight as his teacher, Vladimir had their own. Thom Vladimir, the Ice Age, was already old, but he was still alive and he was a legendary knight who had the hope to reach level three of legendary!

Are there any secrets? Is the information important for the Congress? Thought Katrina in confusion.

Seeing her apparent shock, Anna appeared even more envious. ”It's very fortuitous to be the student of a legendary knight even for radiant knights, not to mention the grand knights. Viscount Andree must have something special about him!”

”Not just legendary knights, I would be satisfied if a radiant knight agrees to be my teacher, but it will never happen without the grace of the Lord.” Yakov sighed bitterly and hopefully.

The other mercenaries said in self-mockery. ”We would like to go to Mountain Paradise in advance if we can be given a grand knight, or an official knight, as our teacher.”

In their conversation, they entered the city with the business convoy and checked in at a hotel.

While Yakov went to register in the city hall, Katrina went to a tavern nearby with Anna.

The moment she stepped in, Katrina was immediately 'welcomed' by the mercenaries and adventures with whistles, who made dirty jokes nonstop.

Anna glared at them and drew her dagger. Without being shy, Katrina also raised her longsword and glanced around indifferently.

On such occasions, the weaker they behaved, the more they would be bullied.

As expected, their toughness intimidated the drunkards, and they managed to reach the bar.

”Hi, young Anna, welcome come. Who is this beautiful lady?” The owner of the tavern was a lecherous-looking middle-aged man.

Anna chuckled. ”Uncle Gulf, do you plan to enjoy the thugs of brown bears? Right, has anything important happened in the past few months?”

”You certainly know the most important thing. Viscount Andree became the student of His Excellency the Storm of Death. As for the lesser incidents, a demon worship case happened in the district of nobles, and dozens were killed uncannily.” Gulf's smile was gone.

”A demon worship case?” Asked Anna curiously.

Katrina was more or less relieved. It was indeed easier to investigate with a local mercenary as a partner, and it would not raise any suspicion. Otherwise, somebody would've noticed her if she had asked about the case recklessly as a 'foreigner'.
