Heart of the Castle

Chapter 217 Controversy and Comprehension Surrounded
"That's impossible. We only have two horses, but there are at least four or five injured people, and all of them are exhausted. Now it's difficult for them to stand up, let alone continue on their way." Reverend Fallon frowned.

"My lord, the horse can't be cured anymore. I gave it a good time." The voice of Captain Ayers appeared behind everyone. A piece of steaming raw horsemeat. "The two horses carrying dry rations failed to rush out, but since we have this, we don't have to worry about filling our stomachs."

"Eating raw horse meat can cause stomach upset," Reverend Fallon warned.

Captain Ayers showed a rude smile, "I have an iron stomach." He patted his stomach, then cut a piece of raw horse meat with a knife, threw it into his mouth and began to chew. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, which made people's hair stand on end.

Li Wei turned his face away uncomfortably. Captain Els is not a bad person, but some of his behaviors made Le Wei feel unacceptable.Wilps patted Levi on the shoulder comfortingly, and then said softly, "We'll rest for another two hours. During this time, we'll light the fire and roast the horse meat, get some hot water to wash and bandage the wound, and then we'll set off."

"You are courting death. Master Babrupa doesn't want to accompany Elder Kuximo to the Kingdom of Eternal Night." Babrupa declared firmly.

"Don't even think about it," replied Reverend Fallon.

A few minutes later, several piles of bonfires were lit, and Babrupa sat beside the fire with a sad face, holding a branch with a few pieces of horse meat in his hand, and held it on the fire to roast.This short guy is obviously familiar with this matter, the barbecue in his hand is a beautiful golden color, dripping with fat, and overflowing with aroma.

Li Wei, who was sitting next to another bonfire, couldn't help swallowing. Although everyone got a lot of horse meat, it was not something anyone could do without any condiments. arrived.Li Wei, who was exposed to barbecue work for the first time, was roasted into a ball of charred black, and Wilpus, who claimed to be adventurous and experienced, was not much better, frowning and chewing on the old and tough roasted horse meat.

"Master Levi..." Wilps whispered hesitantly, the firelight reflected on his face, and his expression looked as stiff as a stone statue.

"Mr. Will, what's the matter?" Li Wei hurriedly swallowed the barbecue in his mouth. Obviously, the horse meat was overcooked, and the tough tendons and fibers were tangled in his mouth. Got a sore throat.

"That's right, I've always wanted to tell you, Master Levi, we shouldn't care about North Ora's affairs." Wilps spoke with some difficulty.

"Why do you say that?" Li Wei raised his eyebrows and asked in dissatisfaction.

"Our time is precious. Although Master Sugard said that at least three weeks can be bought for us, but now, after careful calculation, it took two days to leave the Viscounty, and then four days to cross the Dusk Forest. , and stayed in North Orla for another night... It has been a week, and we are still far away from Dirk City." Wilps' voice became lower and lower, and Li Wei's piercing eyes watched Suddenly, the Grand Knight Commander found himself speechless.

"Mr. Will, you are wrong if you think so." Levi said slowly, his voice was not loud, but every word seemed to be chewing steel, "Knight status is very important to me, but The knight motto is more important to me. Maybe you also know how I obtained my current fighting spirit. When accepting the inheritance of fighting spirit from the great knight commander Martin, I once swore an oath to him to defend it with my life. The motto of the knight! This oath is ringing in my ears, can I give up the people in North Aura who are groaning in the plague, and carry out the certification of knight qualification with a sense of guilt!"

Wilps sat there in a daze as if he had been enchanted by the immobilization spell, and the branch covered with pieces of meat in his hand was resting on the bonfire, also motionless.The horse meat quickly turned into a burnt color under the licking of the flames, and the flames even rushed to the branches, but Wilps still didn't respond.

Levi couldn't help calling in a worried voice, "Mr. Will, what's wrong with you?"

"Lord of Radiance..." Wilps let out a long breath, as if he had woken up from the shock, he looked at the meat skewers that had completely lost their edible value with a wry smile, and threw them aside. "Master Li Wei, I was indeed wrong about this matter. It's ridiculous to think about it. When I left my hometown with the wandering knights, my personality is somewhat similar to yours now: passionate, impulsive, and you will not hesitate to fight with anyone in order to maintain the motto of the knights." Facing each other. But since I returned to Viscount Ryan and pledged my allegiance to His Majesty the Viscount, I have changed. I began to calculate the pros and cons, and began to think about whether I could benefit from doing something. Maybe many people have said that I am a genius. Only in my 20s, relying on self-comprehension, I have reached the level of dissipating fighting qi. But do you know? Ever since I had more calculations in my heart, my fighting qi has never increased!"

Li Wei was shocked when he heard that, "But Mr. Will, your strength has indeed increased. I remember that it was only a year or two ago that you advanced to the rank of Grand Knight Commander."

"Yes, it is true that my strength has not completely stagnated, but that is the improvement of combat experience and sword skills, not the improvement of fighting spirit. But now I understand..." Wilps showed a faint smile on his face, stretched out Stretching out his left hand, a soft fiery red light glowed in the palm of his hand.This ray of light was far less powerful than Wilpus' flame fighting spirit. Li Wei didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the next moment he realized what this ray of light represented, and his eyes widened immediately.

"This is... Dou Qi Tianhua?"

"No, it's not close, but it has already taken a decisive step from the level of dissipated fighting spirit." Wilpus said, and then his expression became solemn, and he stood up and gave a standard knight's salute to Li Wei, Li Wei He hurriedly got up and wanted to return the gift, but Wilps gently stopped him.

"Master Li Wei, what you said just now woke me up and made me take this step. Fighting energy represents a person's nature. Since what you understand is flame fighting energy, it must be as warm and brilliant as a ball of flame, and go forward indomitably." , do not allow any forward-thinking thoughts to exist!"

"Someone is approaching!" Captain Ayers, who was in charge of security, suddenly let out a deep and rapid roar, and everyone grabbed their weapons and stood up, looking around.There was always a faint mist floating in the Rotten Swamp, but now the mist has become much thicker, and there are countless black shadows surrounding it from all directions!
"Damn it, we're surrounded!" Pastor Fallon gasped between his teeth.

Babrupa trampled on the bonfire in frustration, and threw the leftover horse meat into the glowing red embers. "It's the light of the fire and the smell of roasting meat that draws these monsters here!" he told everyone around him, but they ignored him.Priest Storm began to murmur prayers to the person in charge of Thunder. Li Wei and Wilpus stood side by side, holding long swords in both hands, waiting for the enemy to appear.

Captain Els stepped back from the front step by step. This brash man who could charge without hesitation in the face of hundreds of hags now had glistening sweat on his forehead, and his hands that were holding the spiked tower shield were trembling slightly. with.

"There are a lot of werewolves, lizardmen, and hags..." Captain Els stammered, "And there is one of the ugliest hags who is riding a snakeskin beast!"
