"What's the matter?"
Livia asked calmly, looking at the three knights in front of her.
In his perception, the three knights in front of him did not show much hostility. They were just normally wary of strangers. Moreover, after the conversation just now, he could hardly detect any hostility from them.
"We are responsible for questioning strangers who appear near Songkani as usual. As you know..." The three knights looked at each other quickly, and one of them spoke up, "Now there are not only monsters outside, but also more bandits and cultists. So we will stop and question anyone who approaches Kovag."
After a pause, he continued.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'm just a traveler passing by."
After hearing the knight's explanation, Livia nodded. He had no opinion on this matter. After experiencing a series of events in Kovag, he actually agreed with them, but he just hoped they wouldn't go too far.
“Traveler?
Where are you from? "
The knight nodded and asked again calmly.
"Kovag."
"Kovag?
!”
The knight repeated it, and his expressionless face suddenly became solemn, and his brows slightly wrinkled. The other two knights beside him also looked solemn and quietly grasped their weapons. Feeling the sudden solemnity in the atmosphere, as if they were about to take action if something went wrong, Livia frowned.
He didn't intend to fight with these knights in front of him for no reason. What happened to Kovag?
Why did it suddenly become like this when he mentioned that he was from Kovagr?
"What's wrong? What's wrong with Kovagr coming?"
He calmly asked the knights in front of him, he didn't know what happened to Kovag. Logically speaking, they were all territories of the Kingdom of Savoy, and they shouldn't have this attitude. Besides, Songkani was suggested by Delon, and Delon couldn't have deliberately harmed him.
Hearing his words, the knight who had been talking to him looked him up and down seriously, and then spoke in a tactful way.
"I'm sorry, the situation in Cohen Prairie is too chaotic. A lot of things have happened recently...
So we have to be more vigilant about this...
Can you show me something that can prove your identity?
Otherwise, we won’t let you get close to Songkani…” Livia understood what was going on now. It was nothing more than that we also knew about what happened in Kowag recently. But it made sense. What happened in Kowag was not hidden on purpose, and it would make a big fuss. As long as the lord of Songkani is not stupid, he must know what happened around his territory.
After all, the Korn grassland is not very large and vast. It only takes more than two days to get from Songkani to Kovag at a normal horse riding speed. It must be very easy to understand what happened.
Livia nodded helplessly, "I understand, Kovag has been...
It's a bit confusing indeed, but I do have something here that can prove my identity."
Livia first raised his left hand slightly to show that he would not attack suddenly and had no hostility, then he slowly took off the backpack from the buckle on his back and held it in front of him. Under the watchful eyes of the knights, Livia slowly took out a parchment envelope that looked somewhat delicate from the backpack, then gently opened the opening and pulled out a piece of paper that he often saw in his previous life, but it was yellowed and rough. Unlike the common parchment, this kind of paper is still very rare and precious in this world. After all, the output is not high, and generally only nobles or big businessmen use it and can afford it.
Of course, the extraordinary people also have the capital to use it, but he thinks that perhaps powerful extraordinary people should have special ways of transmitting information, such as magical creature messengers?
This is very common in Western fantasy movies, TV shows and stories, and I think it should also exist in this world.
Back to the topic, this exquisite paper was one of the things that Delon stuffed into his hand before he left. It was like a certificate. It had Delon's guarantee and the lord's seal on it. It was written on precious paper so that he would not be misunderstood when traveling in the Kingdom of Savoy. He did not expect that it would be used so soon. Now he could not help but sigh in his heart again that Delon was so thoughtful.
"This is Lord Kovagr's seal. Can this prove my identity?"
As he spoke, Livia carefully handed over the certificate. Although Delon was only an agent now, he should officially become the lord in a decisive time. He had received confirmation from Will and Diego. It should be basically true if nothing unexpected happened, because when he had a chat with Viscount Fitdragen of the Frostwind Territory about Kovager on the top of Coral Castle that day, he also said that he would recommend Delon to become the new lord of Kovager. This was the best choice for Kovager.
The knight in the front rode forward cautiously and carefully took the paper from Livia's hand, then quickly rode back. When Livia took the paper from his hand, he felt that the knight was about to attack him, and he couldn't help but smile helplessly, indicating that he really had no hostility.
"Huh..." The knight who took the paper breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't know why, but the closer he got to the person in front of him, the more pressure he felt. When he took the paper, he almost couldn't control himself and took action instinctively.
After returning to the original place, the knight did not look at the contents on the paper immediately, but looked at the smiling young man opposite him for a few more times. After a careful look, he still did not find anything unusual. He was a little confused about where the feeling just now came from. Was he thinking too much and putting pressure on himself?
The knight behind him saw that he was not looking at the paper, but at the young man opposite him, and coughed a few times.
Before confirming that the other party is an enemy, this is a very impolite behavior and can easily offend others. As knights, they should not stare at others like this instead of doing their job.
Reminded by the cough of his companion behind him, the knight who took the paper finally reacted. He gave Livia an apologetic smile with some embarrassment and looked at the paper in his hand.
After a moment, he frowned slightly and looked up at the young man opposite him. "I'm sorry, this does look like a certificate, but I can't confirm whether the content above is true. Can you wait here while I go to ask my superiors?"
The two knights behind him heard his words and rode forward curiously, looking at the paper in his hand while being on guard against Livia.
Livia smiled helplessly. He had expected this situation. After all, the ink on it looked too fresh. It was indeed from the past few days. It was normal that the knights in front of him could not be sure and let him pass.
"I'm sorry, the main reason is that we can't recognize the territory emblem on it, and there is no emblem of the noble family on this certificate, so...
I have to ask my superiors for instructions."
Seeing Livia's helpless expression, the knight quickly added.
"All right, just don't make me wait until dark. I've been traveling for a few days and I want to have a good night's rest.
Also, don’t ruin my certificate…” Livia shrugged helplessly and said with a humorous smile.
Hearing his joking words, the three knights on the opposite side also smiled. In fact, they were now somewhat certain that he was indeed not a bandit or a cultist, but they still had to confirm it for the sake of safety.
"How about this, I will quickly report back to my superiors, and let my companions take you slowly to Songkani, so the journey won't be too far."
The knight holding the paper carefully put the certificate into the interlayer of the armor and spoke to Livia.
Livia nodded. This was indeed a good idea. Seeing that he agreed, the knight said a few words to his companion, then nodded to Livia, turned around and drove his horse towards the town that was vaguely visible.
"Sir, please follow us."
The remaining knight pulled the reins and slowly steered his horse to make way, motioning him to go forward.
