Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 299 Clues and Secrets (Two in One)

Lord Jean O'Connor led people into the Magic Plains ahead of schedule.

This not-so-good news made Cyril squint his eyes. He looked at the figures rushing towards him, and suddenly had an idea.

"So what if it's human? Don't retreat, take them down!"

He shouted in a low voice, the centaur in front froze for a moment, then immediately licked the corner of his mouth, clenched his halberd tightly, and set his sights on Leonardo who was running at the front——

The two of them had an old feud!
Irugal's plan was just right, taking Leonardo down while he was running for his life, in order to avenge the sword at the door of the Tree of Life.But Leonardo's rather funny looking figure suddenly slowed down when he saw Cyril among the natural creatures.

"Hey, that onion, don't stop!" Gene yelled wildly, he was right behind Leonardo, if Leonardo slowed down, he had to slow down too.

But he couldn't scream in the next second—he watched the funny figure suddenly stretch out his hand, grabbed the hilt of the sword on his back, and then pulled out the wide sword with one hand, It happened to stand in front of him!
Gene didn't expect that his teammates who led him to escape would suddenly turn against him. No matter how strong his body control ability was, he couldn't react. Immediately, his chest hit the broad plane of the big sword firmly, and he almost fell into a somersault. Atzik, who was sandwiched, fell out because of inertia.

But Leonardo's movements didn't stop. He thrust the big sword under his feet, clasped and twisted his hands in reverse, and didn't even give Gene, who is also a professional level, a chance to parry, and directly twisted him to the ground. !
"Brother Ivor, take it!" He excitedly waved to the dazed Cyril, and continued to press Gene firmly on the ground.

And the halberd soldiers behind saw that their lord was taken down just like that, and were about to launch a wave of desperate charges, trying to rescue Baron Jean, but saw Azike who had just fallen to the ground had got up and held his hands high shouted:
"Amathir halberds, the rear team becomes the front team, defensive posture, stop those mercenaries!"

Those halberd soldiers hesitated for a moment, and then, as Atsk said, they stopped fleeing, turned around and raised their halberds, and in the blink of an eye, what greeted the mercenaries was a bright gun tip.

"Hey, what are you doing, those things are catching up!" The mercenaries shouted in panic, but the halberd soldiers were extremely disciplined, they didn't take a step back, and even approached two steps forward.

Baron Jean was also growling at him. He obviously didn't understand what Azike was doing, and why he suddenly "turned his back" and took refuge in a group of natural creatures.

But in the next second, an elegant and beautiful silver deer trotted forward from the natural creatures in front of him. The handsome young man on the deer's back held a long sword in his hand, leading a group of centaurs and unicorns to press up— —

"Cyril Adrian!"

Baron Jean's eyes were suddenly filled with anger, but more of it was surprise—he couldn't figure out how this young man who tried to take the territory from him would appear here, and he also brought A group of natural creatures, including elves.

"Relying on the pair of long ears in exchange for the trust of the elves... He really did it? It's not even three days! And in the front is the future chieftain of the centaur tribe in the Elgin Jungle, and there is even a unicorn beast……"

Gene felt like his head was going to explode, but Cyril didn't even look at him, and didn't even respond to Leonardo who was pressing Gene.

At this moment, he finally saw clearly what was chasing the group of mercenaries—in the deep arched city gate, compound-eyed creatures with slender bodies were rapidly approaching the world outside the city gate, mixed with The disturbing sound of flapping wings, just listening to it makes people feel creepy.

Dragon fly - no, it should be the larvae of the poisonous fly.Cyril could see clearly that most of their bodies were light green, not to mention the tough metal-like yellow of dragon flies, not even the mature poisonous flies with dark green bodies.

These creatures, which are generally level 10-20 from the color point of view, basically focus all their combat power on speed, with only meager toxicity. Logically speaking, the mercenary group in front of them should not be difficult to deal with them. How could they be chased? run?
But this question only flashed in Cyril's mind, these mercenaries just wanted to run for their lives, and just left the opportunity to him——

As soon as he patted the head of the silver deer, this beautiful creature immediately jumped up, deftly flew over the heads of the halberd soldiers, and landed in front of the mercenaries who were about to kill them in the face.And in his hand, the nameless long sword stood up, and immediately after, the air vibrated with a buzz.

The mercenaries only felt the air flow around their ears tremble, and then a dazzling blue light shone in front of them, like a silver thread at high tide. Before they could react, that blue light came from the top of their heads. skimming -

The sound of howling wind filled their hearing at this moment. When their hearing returned to normal and they could hear the surrounding sounds clearly again, they suddenly found that the noisy sound of flapping wings just now had disappeared.

They turn around.

On the white stone road in front of the arched city gate, slender insect-like bodies were densely scattered on the ground at this moment.From behind them all the way to the deep city gate, everything is there.

Gradually, some mercenaries realized what had happened. They gasped in unison, their feet went limp, and they sat down on the ground. They still didn't believe what happened before them, and slapped each other hard.

"Danya, these monsters just died like this?"

And the instigator of all this, Cyril Adrian, looked at the experience bar that had only increased by a small amount with a blank face. While cursing the stingy level suppression in his heart, he was also surprised at the power of the spell he cast:

wind string technique.

He originally thought that the wind string technique could only slow down the attack of these poisonous flies, and he probably had to rely on "windward blade" to solve it. Who would have thought that a wave of mana pouring wind string technique could directly kill hundreds of poisonous flies? We are all seconds away.

But considering that Raz can instantly kill dragon flies with string magic, it seems understandable for him to bully a group of poisonous flies that are less than level 20 and have extremely fragile bodies.

"The head of the mercenary group, who is it?" He asked, but saw a ranger holding a longbow and a tall warrior looking at each other and walking forward.

"The head of the Weeping Vine Mercenary Group, Kulai."

"The head of the wild mercenary group, Giger."

Cyril said to them: "Restrain your regiment members and let them rest where they are."

The two hesitated for a moment, but when they saw the centaur shaking the halberd and the unicorn shaking its head behind Cyril, they all shivered, and they did so immediately.

When Cyril turned his head, the halberd soldiers had put away their defensive stance, but they were still standing upright. They couldn't help but have a bit of reverence in their eyes looking at Cyril.The halberd soldiers didn't sit down until Azike hurried forward and motioned for them to rest.

And Azike looked at Cyril, and said in a low voice: "Your Earl."

Cyril nodded, and then said to Leonardo: "Leonardo, let him go."

The onion-like helmet shook, and then Leonard let go of Gene O'Connor, who was pinned to the ground by him.Baron Jean jumped up immediately, and Atsk subconsciously wanted to stop him, but Jean didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just staring at Cyril.

After a while, the Baron of Siliki sighed and sat down:
"I admit that what you said makes sense. Perhaps it is because our strength is not enough that the elves will not let us contact."

Cyril was taken aback for a moment, he thought the other party would roar and roar, but he didn't expect the other party to be discouraged first——

"What have you been through?" He asked in a deep voice.

But Gene just waved his hands, didn't want to talk at all, and sat listlessly on the ground.

"Let me talk about it." Seeing this, Azike could only take the initiative to speak.

Due to the appearance of Cyril, Baron Jean decided to enter the Elekrin Forest in advance.They entered the Elgin Forest one day later than Cyril. Fortunately, they were not stopped by any monsters or elves. After trekking in the mist, they entered the town directly.

But in the town, they encountered an unimaginably powerful enemy that tore their defenses apart almost instantly.Among them, Baron Jean tried to fight against him, but instead the handle of his long-handled war knife was cut off, so he could only flee.

If it wasn't for Leonardo who suddenly appeared to guide them, they wouldn't even be able to escape from the city.But it was very unfortunate that they provoked a group of poisonous flies not far from the city gate. At this time, Baron Jean had no courage to fight, and a group of exhausted mercenaries had not even fought the poisonous flies It means that he only cares about escaping.

In fact, they set up a formation at the gate of the city, and they could easily wipe out this group of poisonous flies, but they were frightened by the enemies with "pointed triangle helmets" in front of them, and lost their will to resist.

Only then did Cyril understand why they escaped so shamefully.He listened to Azike's description, thought for a moment, then turned around suddenly, and asked Memphira, who was lying on the silver deer's back:

"Mengfeila, among the armor we saw just now, is there a pointed triangle helmet?"

"Spiked triangular helmet?" Memphis frowned. "I think there is one, and it's near us."

Cyril turned around and searched, and soon found the suspicious target, and Atsk almost immediately called out: "Yes, that's it, the helmet with the pointed triangle top! They would even be invisible, if I hadn't noticed it Their magic power source, I am afraid that the damage to the team will be even more serious!"

Cyril stepped forward and looked at a line of small characters under the stone statue. This time it was not the language of the elves, but a line of characters he had never seen before.

He lightly rubbed the line of words, memorized the shapes of the letters, and suddenly found that the "gem" on the back of his hand where the silver thread had been drilled before was shining faintly, as if there was some pattern he wanted spread on the back of the hand—

"The quest clue is related to this stone statue?"

He immediately accelerated the speed of rubbing, trying to get more information, but the light in his hand dimmed again, neither causing him to fall into any hallucinations, nor giving him any more hints——

But Cyril knows that the clue is related to the group of men in armor with triangular pointed peaks that Atsk and the others were talking about.

"Atzke, I think we need to discuss it." Cyril had an idea in his mind, turned his head to look at Atsk, but found that the latter was looking at a stone statue, and his eyes kept moving from the stone statue to the crowd, Moved back to the stone statue.

What he was looking at was the chubby stone statue, and among the crowd he was looking at was Leonardo who was dressed very similarly to the stone statue.

"My lord, what's going on here?"

Azike's expression was not very good-looking, he stared at Leonardo for a long time, finally turned his gaze back to Cyril, and said in a low voice: "I think I need an explanation, otherwise the next plan of the Earl I'm afraid there are also..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the corners of Cyril's mouth curled up, and a smile appeared on his face: "What a coincidence, I think I also need this explanation, why don't we ask him directly?"

"Huh?" Atzke was taken aback, but Cyril had already walked towards the crowd first, and shouted to Leonardo who was chatting enthusiastically with several mercenaries: "Leonardo, come here."

"Okay, Brother Ivor!" Leonardo said a few more words to the mercenaries, as if to say "don't add Dobe powder to the seasoning", and then walked quickly towards Cyril.

"What, are you going to go?" The voice under the armor sounded extremely relaxed, as if nothing happened to Leonardo.He said to Cyril just like when he was in the team before, but then Leonardo found that the half-elf boy was just looking at him quietly.

"Hey, Brother Ivor, don't be so nervous... How about I make you some soup? It just so happens that the dead bodies of those poisonous flies haven't been cleaned up yet, so it's great."

He tried to calm the atmosphere, but Cyril didn't move, didn't even blink his eyes, just stared at him.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into incomparable stiffness.Azike stood behind Cyril, and found that he couldn't see what Cyril was thinking——

What does this mean, eye attack, can make people confess?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard a long sigh from the armor:
"Hey, well, well, it seems that you still found out, and I will tell you what I know, but before that—when did you notice it?"

And Cyril finally spoke:
"Start with the dragonfly. The poison of the dragonfly cannot be undone by ordinary antidote."

Leonardo touched the back of the helmet embarrassingly: "Brother, you are really astute, you can find all this."

"You've been in this enchanted plain, haven't you?"

Leonardo nodded.

"Before you left the team, you just quietly entered the Magic Plain, and wanted to see what changes would happen to the Magic Plain due to the mutation caused by the Tree of Life, is that true?"

Leonardo nodded, then shook his head again: "Let's just say so."

"For now?" Cyril asked back.

Then, he watched Leonardo raise his hands, put them on the lower part of the helmet, and said while raising them:
"Before that, I thought I should re-introduce myself—"

His voice gradually became clear with the lifting of the helmet, and finally revealed a vicissitudes of life but handsome uncle face - he has deep eyes, high nose bridge, neat and not messy stubble, looks personable, when he was young It will definitely attract the favor of many noble ladies.

But this pair of eyebrows and eyes made Cyril feel so familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

Then, he bowed slightly, lowered his voice and said:

"I, Leonardo, 20 years ago, with my wife, strayed into this place—"
