Chapter 24: 24. A boy named Artolis
"Hello."
The boy in front of him said hello very politely.
The delicate and gentle voice made Ian doubt his eyes for a moment.
However, Ian is more concerned about another thing than thinking about the triple disharmony of voice, appearance and gender.
The body of another knight was buried in the land not far away.
The first few successes were so easy that Ian relaxed a little.
At this moment, he was not sure whether the boy in front of him had seen something he shouldn't have seen.
So--
Just kill him too.
Ian's eyes turned murderous.
Anyway, his hands are already stained with enough blood, and it won't make any difference if another person dies.
"Hello, can you hear me?"
The boy waved his hand, trying to attract Ian's attention.
"Indeed"
Ian gave a false smile.
He didn't know when he discovered that he had learned this strange disguise.
He can show a friendly smile anytime and anywhere, and he can also kill others with this smile.
Ian felt that his mentality had changed a lot.
"Who are you...?"
Seeing that Ian finally responded, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and then introduced himself.
"Hello, I'm Artolis"
"At present-"
The boy who called himself Artolis glanced at the wooden cart next to him.
"Want to go to town and sell these freshly picked apples."
"So, please, can you let me into the city?"
[Artolis's words make you realize that it is already the autumn season for apple harvest. ]
[You lament the passage of time. ]
[At the same time, you also realized another thing. ]
[That is, Artolis in front of you seems to regard you as a guard standing guard at the city gate. ]
[If you are not sure whether the other party saw you burying the body, you plan to first confirm whether he is carrying a weapon to reduce the risk. ]
[You made a request for a body search. ]
"Search, search?"
For some reason, Artolis' expression became a little embarrassed after hearing Ian make this request.
This made Ian suspicious.
"What? Do you think it's not possible?"
"If you want to enter the royal capital, you should undergo this kind of inspection."
"unless–"
Ian's eyes became sharp.
"There are some ulterior secrets in your body, so I may have to call others over."
Ian's verbal intimidation was effective.
After he said this, Artolis in front of him immediately shook his head in denial.
"No, there's nothing like that."
"Please...please start."
After saying these words, Artolis spread his hands and made a cross, looking resigned.
At this moment, several guards passed by.
Worried that the matter would be exposed, Ian could only bite the bullet and search for Artolis' body.
Fortunately.
He was originally a knight, so he was very familiar with this process.
Ian bent down and began to copy the memories in his mind.
He searched from the legs first.
What made Ian somewhat unexpected was this.
Although he was called a boy, Artolis's legs were slender and tight. Vaguely, he even had the illusion of returning to the first time he touched Morgan's legs.
However, Ian is not interested in bodies other than Morgan's.
He glanced at Artolis doubtfully, and the other person avoided his eyes with a slight guilt.
The hand continued to walk upwards and soon reached near the buttocks.
The feeling of touch is still that kind of extremely subtle disharmony - why does a young man have such excellent female-like streamlines hidden under his clothes?
"Say your name again."
"Artolis."
Ian remembered the obviously male name and moved his hands towards his waist.
Soon the perfect waist feeling replaced the firmness of the buttocks.
The caressing on both sides was enough for Ian to imagine what his figure looked like under the clothes.
——A curve that shrinks inward, wide at both ends and narrow in the middle.
Ian's suspicion was at its peak.
His hands moved upward little by little, and their final destination was where the chest was.
If your suspicions are correct.
Then there will be feminine characteristics here that absolutely cannot be hidden.
At that time, it will not be difficult to kill Artolis in front of you - after all, with this transgender disguise, no matter how you make up a reason to kill him, it will not be too much.
However--
Ian's hand that touched it directly felt the extreme desolation.
If you want to use something to describe this desolation, perhaps the plains with galloping horses would be the best choice.
No matter how hard you try, you can only feel barren.
No matter how you think about it, this seems like a situation that only happens to men.
Ian realized he had made an error in judgment.
"Excuse me...is it okay?"
Artolis's face turned extremely red due to Ian's body search, and the apples seemed no longer so bright in comparison.
"Feel sorry."
Ian immediately pulled his hand away and apologized.
"It doesn't matter." Artolis forced a smile, "You did this out of caution."
"So, can I go in now?"
"..."
Ian was still worried in his heart whether the other party had seen something he shouldn't have seen.
If it weren't for the other guards who appeared from time to time, he would have definitely drawn his sword towards Artolis by now.
[You think seriously about what you should do. ]
[You got your answer quickly. ]
[If you can't do it here, then do it somewhere else. ]
[You suggest to Artolis that you want to help him enter the city. ]
[The other party was surprised, but still very moved to accept your help. ]
[In this way, you took the wooden cart filled with apples from Artolis's hand, and you walked towards the royal capital. ]
[In the eyes of the guards, you have gained a good reputation for being helpful. ]
[But only you know that these apples will sleep underground together with Artolis. ]
"You are a good person."
Artolis clasped his hands and said to Ian beside him.
"By the way, can you tell me your name? I want to know what a name would be for someone like you."
"..."
"Ian."
"Ian." Artolis nodded thoughtfully, "Looking at them, you are a knight, right?"
"right."
"Then if that's the case——!" Artolis's voice was a little louder.
"Gu——"
Artolis touched his belly sheepishly.
"Sorry, I haven't eaten anything this morning."
"Then let me treat you to dinner."
"Eh?" Artolis blinked his green eyes as deep as the sea of trees, "Is this okay?"
"Um."
Ian nodded and said with a smile.
"After all, there won't be such an opportunity again."
