The knight in the abyss

Chapter 197 Enrique's Story
The black-armored knight turned his head and glanced over there, then quickly withdrew his gaze.He nodded to Lancelot, as if saying goodbye.A thin vertical silver line appeared behind him, and then the black-armored knight was pulled out suddenly, as if the end of the silver line was a fishing rod in the hands of a giant, and Lancelot had no time to stop him.

The remaining gnolls in the room suddenly froze in place as if they had just woken up from a big dream, but the humanoid beetle demons couldn't control that much, and quickly subdued them all, even Lancelot's partners couldn't help it. Without putting down his weapon, he obediently stood aside.

"We heard that guests staying at Lazaka's Tears don't have to worry about safety." Lancelow looked at Pacos who was walking towards him, "but our experience doesn't seem to be like this."

"Really? I've never advertised it like that." The halfling was still dressed as an innkeeper, and he didn't hold a weapon in his hand.

"But we did get attacked in your room."

"It was my hotel that was attacked." The halfling kicked a corpse lying on the ground face up, and lowered its head to study the decorations and tattoos on the kobold's body, "The group of parasites in Beggar's Abyss... For the sake of helping me repel the intruders, I don't want you to pay for the broken furniture."

Lancelow shrugged, a hotel opened in the abyss, what else could he expect?
At this moment, those insect-like mazeros had finished arresting and started to retreat from the room. The dozens of gnolls who were still alive were tied up and hung on the spikes on their carapaces.

"Where are these jackals going?"

"To be tortured, tortured, interrogated, and one or two will be skinned without accident. After the guards have had enough fun, they will be allowed to explain the reason for the attack, the instigator behind it, and then sent to the slave pen. And I will receive a negligible amount of compensation." Pacos stood up from the ground, glanced at the dense circle of corpses piled up around Lancelow, and raised his eyebrows at him, "I didn't expect you to fight so well. , business, I should reconsider your proposal."

"Our proposal?" Lancelot asked in surprise.At this time other people came in, the guards under Pacos, and they deftly carried the corpses on the ground and the broken furniture.

"When you are all packed, go downstairs to have breakfast first, and then find me in the innermost office on the second floor." Pacos followed his employees and walked out, "About you are eager to find that thing."

"What did he say?" Without the low wall of corpses and the imposing humanoid beetle, Brutal finally stood beside Lancelot.

"What else can it be? I want us to help find the lost artifact." Kara Lin and the others also came over, "I just rejected our help last night. It seems that Lancelot's strength made him Changed my mind."

"Everyone fought well just now." Lancelot nodded to everyone, "Especially little Isa, she defeated her first enemy. You have proved yourself to be a trustworthy partner, a good job .”

There was warm applause, and everyone sent sincere congratulations to little Isa, which made her bow her head shyly, and stammered:

"I, I, I will definitely work harder in the future!"

After finishing speaking, he turned into a little bat with a bang, and hid directly in Lancelot's dimensional bag.

"The little girl has a thin skin." Lancelot said cheerfully, feeling as if his attendant had been formally conferred the title of knight.

"What are the origins of these gnolls?" Bruto on the side brought the topic back, "Why are we being targeted? And that knight in black armor is too strong, it's my first time I saw my eldest brother suffer two big losses in a row."

"How can I!" Lancelow protested dissatisfied, "It's obvious that there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors!"

"I'm afraid that guy is coming for me." Elotesia, who had been silent all the time, said, "I know who he is, a killer under my former master."

"You know him?" It was Lancelot's turn to be surprised this time, "What's his name?"

"His name is Enrique, if I remember correctly." Elotesia sighed, "His story is a complete tragedy. He used to be a paladin just like me. He is regarded as the greatest hero in the kingdom, repelling the aggression of neighboring countries time and time again."

"Isn't that good?" Brutal scratched his head, "How did it become the ghost it is now?"

"With Enrique's prestige, his king found that he could wantonly invade other countries, which shocked and tired Enrique. He didn't want to be used by his king in this way, so he resigned from the military and took his wife and children to He lived in seclusion in the forest." The tone of the succubus paladin began to become painful, "but one day when he returned from hunting, he found his loved one lying in a pool of blood, with a dagger with the symbol of the neighboring royal family stuck in his heart. "

"And then?" Alamir asked curiously, "Blinded by revenge, he spread his anger on innocent civilians in neighboring countries?"

"It's darker than that." The succubus paladin shook his head, "The king soon sent a representative and invited him to be the commander in the upcoming war of conquest against the neighboring country, which aroused his suspicion. After some investigation, the truth soon surfaced—the dagger that killed his wife and children did come from the neighboring royal family, but it was given to his king as a gift of peace. It's just a play."

"Uh." Brutal glanced at Lancelot, "Brother, I'm not targeting you, you humans really do this kind of thing."

Lancelot didn't speak, thinking of a man with blond hair and a golden griffin tattooed on his cape.

"And what happened after that?" Cora asked eagerly, "Did he confront his king?"

"He went, but he knew something that made him even more desperate." Elotesia sighed again, "This murder was approved by the entire town council, and the people he had tried his best to protect, unexpectedly For the benefit that the war of aggression can bring, they sentenced his wife and children to death. They even prepared several stunning beauties in advance, and planned to rely on these beauties to appease Enrique's anger if he found out the truth. "

"I guess those beauties are totally useless," Karaline commented.

"The paladin's faith collapsed. He raised his sword and killed everyone in the capital he could see. When the people hiding under the beds and in the basement returned trembling the next day to the blood-stained streets Enrique's figure has disappeared." The succubus paladin's expression was full of disgust, "Those beauties are actually several succubus, they brought Enrique to the Balrog Iltu, which is my before his former master, where he was transformed into a Darkguard who fights only for murder and evil."
