Heart of the Castle

Chapter 172 The Grip of Withered Hope
A sharp whine erupted from Viscount Lane's mouth, his hand softened, and the ceremonial sword made a crisp sound on the ground.It was also difficult for his feet to continue to support his heavy body. After a dull blunt sound, the dignified leader of the Ryan family just slumped down by the window in a daze.

Standing in front of Viscount Lane, Trion's always humble expression has disappeared from his face, and the former hunched image has also disappeared.When the layer of human skin shattered and fell to the ground, Butler Trien completely turned into a tall and burly humanoid monster with blue skin.

Due to the violent expansion of the muscles, the well-tailored dress worn by Butler Trien has completely become a thing of the past. Iron-like tendons are coiled on his bluish-purple strong arms. Trien looked at his pair of clothes that could tear wild boars apart. Hands, a bewildered expression on his face.

"Did you see it? Did you see it? This is the power I got, the power of immortality!"

Viscount Lane's teeth made a knocking sound, he barely raised his hand to block himself, and said in a weak voice: "Trian...for God's sake, tell me, what exactly do you want? ?”

"What do you want? Master Viscount, you can't give me what I want, and neither can the supreme Father God!" Trion's expression became sinister, and he walked towards Viscount Ryan, who was obviously very tall. With a strong body, his footsteps are extremely light and silent when he steps on the ground.

"What I want is that the war on this land will never disappear, until all living things are returned to the embrace of our Lord Ku Xizhu!"

"Sue the dead!"

There are no words to describe the panic of Viscount Ryan. The extreme fear has distorted the face of the viscount. His face suddenly turned pale, and he looked like a dead person.

The words that Trien said just now showed his identity.Tell the dead, an existence that would make the ignorant bumpkin tremble, the heroic knight draw his sword, and the wise lord frown even if he said his name.Most of these guys are necromancers and high-ranking vampires, and they are notorious for their fanatical slaughter of creatures.The dead despise life, because life is always accompanied by endless desires. They believe that only the will of the gods of the world ruled by the dead is a paradise that can truly allow everyone to obtain equality and peace.

For this distorted purpose, the accused secretly develops companions in various identities, and at the same time provokes wars among various countries as much as possible, so that more living beings can fall into the embrace of death.Of course, this kind of practice will be unanimously disgusted and hated by all living beings. If the identity of a deceased person is revealed, he will be hit by every knight, mage, and lord from the kingdom to the bottom.However, the powerful dark force has become their reliance to unleash the evil. They chanted the name of the long-sleeping leader Ku Ximo, but they did not respect the teachings of the Church of Death at all. Regarding the understanding of Ku Ximo, the dead have their own set of theories.

Viscount Ryan's character does not have good qualities such as firmness and tenacity. When he found a notorious accuser standing in front of him, and he had lived with him for such a long time, his His sanity was suddenly on the verge of collapse.And what made him even more terrified was that during this period of time, he obeyed Steward Trien's advice. When he thought that he had actually become an accomplice of a murderer, Viscount Lane's nerves stretched to the limit of rationality The thread finally broke.

A mournful wail came from Viscount Lane's mouth. The wailing was so desperate and tragic that Trion was slightly startled and stopped involuntarily.Viscount Lane, who was still limp on the ground just now, jumped up like a crazy wild boar, foaming from the corner of his mouth, his face was terribly red, and his heavy snort sounded like a bellows in a blacksmith's shop.

Trion's hands suddenly flashed a cold blue light, and his eyes were bloodshot, indicating that the deceased was ready to fight, but in the next moment, he realized that this preparation was in vain.

Viscount Lane didn't look at Trion at all, and in fact he didn't look at anything. The despair and regret just now were so heavy that he had completely overwhelmed his reason.Viscount Ryan babbled like a dying fever patient, staggering towards the biggest window of the tower.

Trion moved his feet, trying to stop Viscount Ryan, but the Viscount's madness made him not hesitate at all. There was a sound of broken wooden window frames, and Viscount Ryan smashed open the window, and then fell down suddenly.

"Father!"

Viscount Lane uttered a final wail in the air, his body fell like a bundle of dry wood, tumbling through a drop of about 15 meters, and slammed into the main building of the castle, blood almost spurted from under his body Come out and dye a corner of the roof of the main building red.

This terrible scene was discovered by several castle guards, and they all yelled together: "No, look at the tower, someone slipped and fell!"

"Looks like it's dead!"

"Father, have mercy!"

"Master Viscount is up there, hurry up and notify Lord Wilps!" Amidst the panic, a more experienced guard finally thought of the most critical issue and hurriedly shouted.

However, his yelling was a bit late, and Wilps didn't need them to inform him. The Grand Knight Commander was currently wearing a breastplate and a helmet, and he was hurriedly walking on the spiral staircase leading to the top of the tower with several people. superior.

"You say that Trien has a problem? Are you sure?" Wilps asked the people around him in a low voice as he sprinted.

"I'm sure. Knight Levi can also testify to this point." The man who answered Wilpus was extraordinarily burly, wearing a dark knight's heavy armor. It was the high-ranking knight Dragosson who was mentioned Li Wei, who arrived, followed closely behind, with a nervous and sad expression on his young face.

Wilps glanced at Levi in ​​surprise. He was very familiar with Dragonson's character. He was able to hear the title of Levi's knight from Dragonson's mouth. It must be because of the strength of this young man, Li Wei. It has been approved by this high-ranking knight.

That's definitely not an easy thing to do.

But this is not a question that should be considered now. Wilps felt a little anxious, and his steps were unavoidably a little hasty.

With a light cluck, Wilps' body tilted to the side, almost falling down the spiral staircase.Fortunately, the great knight had extraordinary skills, and a brilliant red fighting spirit suddenly burst out from his whole body. His body, which was already half tilted to the void, paused for a moment, and then he regained his balance as if supported by something.

"Lord Wilps, what's going on?" Sir Lydwan, the Lord of the Greencastle who was walking further behind, asked in surprise.

Wilps snorted coldly, and pulled his left foot out of the cutout of the steps. The place was originally covered with thick and strong wooden boards, which could definitely bear the weight of a fully armed knight.However, there are countless marks on the wooden board that seem to have been burned by a raging fire, and it has become extremely fragile.

"Why did the boards of the steps burn like this?" Wilps bent down with some doubts, and broke off a scorched board with his fingers. It did feel like it was being burned. When the piece of wood was held in front of him and looked at carefully, his complexion immediately changed drastically.

"God of War Balud! This is the trace of undead magic!"
