Heart of the Castle

Chapter 794
The figure of Earl Buster Fremont had just disappeared at the end of the corridor, and the shadow under Levi Stern's feet began to twist and squirm, and a layer of faint haze filled the corridor, as if even from the narrow high window. The penetrating sunlight also has a strange taste.

"It's a pity, Master Levi." The hoarse voice unique to the shadow assassin Arance Kate echoed in the corridor, and then a thin figure wrapped in linen rune bandages slowly emerged from the shadows. "What a chance you gave the old fellow? I'm so sorry for him, why didn't he take it?"

"Is there a good opportunity to go directly to the Kingdom of Eternal Night ruled by Kuximu, the leader of the Sleeping Soul?" Sir Rodriguez's cold and merciless voice sounded from another direction, and a statue of a knight on the side of the corridor suddenly moved towards As he slid away, the condemned knight in black armor stood quietly in the small secret room behind the statue. The star iron giant sword had been unsheathed, and a blade as dark as night rested in his hands.

"Of course it is. That would be a better result for both him and us." Alans Kate's eyes seemed to be burning with sarcasm, and the end of his words was like a poisonous snake uttering a letter. The hissing sound became more obvious, "The old man's ambition has been taken away by his comfortable life, although he can still hold the long sword in his hand now, it is really doubtful that he can exert some power with it. "

"In any case, Earl Buster won my respect and his own life with his choice." Li Wei sighed with some emotion, "This result is not wrong, the knight who was loved by countless teenagers back then A role model, and finally able to maintain the moral bottom line necessary for a true knight."

"But this also makes it more difficult for us to deal with the problems brought by this old man." Sir Rodriguez said in a dignified tone, "Master Levi, I am worried that Earl Buster will bring unforeseen consequences to the political situation of the Kingdom of Arthur If you have no objection, let Eupondra deal with this matter in the name of suing the remnants of the deceased, so as to guarantee a decent ending for Earl Buster."

"Earl Buster was threatened by the Temple of Glory or for other reasons, so he had to confront me, but he was still able to restrain himself as a knight and resist the opportunity to draw his sword." Li Wei said in a tone of voice. Shaking his head in agreement, he said in a decisive tone, "Sir Rodriguez, I don't think it's necessary for us who have the upper hand to do this. I will not allow that old man to die by shady means."

Sir Rodriguez nodded without the slightest surprise, "Your wishes are respected, Master Levi." He gestured to shut up Alans Kate, who still wanted to argue, "Your order will If it is thoroughly implemented, Earl Buster will not be harmed on the land of the Kingdom of Arthur, Lord Alans Kate is willing to take care of his safety."

The astonishment on the Shadow Assassin's face couldn't even be concealed by the linen bandage, "What, I didn't..."

"You will do this, Alans Kate." Sir Rodriguez interrupted coldly, "I can guarantee that the death knights under my command will never disobey Master Levi's orders, but I'm afraid you can't do it for me." Those daring blood daggers under your command promise. More importantly, no one can do the task of monitoring the old man better than you."

Alans Kate lowered his head and pondered, his face hidden in the shadow of the black hood, "Sir Rodriguez, it turns out that you are also worried about that Earl Buster." At last he said sarcastically, while shrugging Shrugging his shoulders, "Okay, I accept the task you assigned. I will hide beside Earl Buster, monitor his actions, and protect his safety."

"Don't take it lightly, Sir Arance? Kate." Levi reminded softly, his brows were deeply frowned, and his eyes flashed fiercely from time to time, showing that he was worried. "Protecting Earl Buster is not an easy job. I am always worried that the Temple of Radiance will attack him, and then blame Queen Fleisher or me for murdering an important minister."

Alans Kate raised his head abruptly, and at that moment, the expression on the Shadow Assassin's face was filled with surprise, "That's great, I've long been displeased with those guys who preach the light but are filthy in private. It is definitely a comforting thing to kill a few of them with this excuse."

There was a wry smile of astonishment on Li Wei's face. Just as he was about to say something, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from outside the window, and then a big crow pierced through the window like a black arrow that left the string, and landed on the young man. The Regent's shoulder.

"Good news, good news, dumb, dumb—good news is coming!"

This big crow is not smart-mouthed, but its personality is exactly the same as their leader. Just as Li Wei stretched out his hand towards the crow's paw with the thin intelligence tube, the big crow lightly pecked on his ear in dissatisfaction. "Reward, pay first, Doudou!" Black Wing's little messenger exploded his wings aggressively, and jumped half a step to the side.

"Fleischer and those court maids really spoiled you all." Li Wei complained, reaching into his arms, and took out a small cloth bag containing peeled nuts, "That's enough Come on, give me the information."

Seeing Levi stroking the head of the big crow that was eating, Sir Rodriguez and the shadow assassin Arance Kate looked at each other helplessly. The former shrugged his shoulders, while the latter raised his forehead with his hands.

"Actually, you are the one who spoils them, right, Master Levi."

Li Wei personally took out a roll of silver film from the exquisite waterproof steel pipe, and then carefully spread it out on the stone window sill. He had reason to be careful, because this special paper made by alchemy was quite expensive, so only Only very important information is available.Li Wei glanced at the information from beginning to end, and his expression, which seemed a little dignified, became relaxed, and finally he was almost beaming.

"Both Wilps and Dragosson have done a good job." Levi Ston tried to hide the excitement in his tone, but obviously he didn't succeed, "The whole Ruhr County and Nardi Most of the counties have been recovered, and there are still some troubles in Andre County and Salas County, but it is also because Dragonson's footsteps are too fast, and the logistics can't keep up."

"Dragonson's Griffon Third Regiment is heavy infantry." Sir Rodriguez couldn't help shaking his head, "It's hard to imagine how he broke through all the way to the hinterland of Salas County, and let Wilp The first griffin regiment of the whole cavalry led by Si did not keep up, you must know that it is the farthest place from Firmeyer."

"Before the start of this battle, Draconson specifically begged Mr. Dish to take all the alchemy flying ships that had just been completed." Li Wei said while twisting the corners of his mouth, revealing a weird smile that was suppressed. Expression, "That's why he can create an unprecedented marching speed."

"Gods behold!" Sir Rodriguez said loudly, "may the sleeper Kushimo have mercy on that stupid soul, Mr. Dish told me about those alchemy airships a few days ago, even weapons The equipment and magic shield have not yet been installed! If they are attacked by demon flying troops on the way, the third group of Griffins may have no other ending except for the entire army to be wiped out!"

"Fortunately, such a thing did not happen." Li Wei shook the silver film in his hand and said, "The third group of Griffins arrived at the scheduled attack site smoothly, and the demon defenders there were not even ready to retreat or defend. They were smashed by Dragunson's wild boar charge. If it weren't for the lack of logistical supplies that prevented the third Griffin Regiment from expanding their victories, maybe the four southern counties have now recovered."

"Master Levi, I still think that this risky approach by Dragonson is not advisable." Sir Rodriguez took the information from Levi, read it carefully, and then said in a serious tone, " Using an alchemy airship without self-defense ability to rush to the enemy's rear for a long distance, at best, it is courageous, and at worst, it is a desperate attempt to disregard the lives of all the soldiers of the Griffon Third Regiment. If the situation is critical In fact, such a risk can be said to be justifiable, and I can't find a reason why Dragonson has to take such a risky action when he knows that the demon army has turned to solidify the whole line."

Li Wei's expression became serious involuntarily, and the blush of excitement after learning of the victory gradually faded from his face, "You are very reasonable, Sir Rodriguez, this is my negligence." He Nodding slowly, he tapped his fingers lightly on the stone window sill, "Draconson's victory should of course be rewarded, but his risky behavior must also be reprimanded. Just like Earl Buster at the round table meeting The argument put forward, life is precious, but too fragile, so that it is very easy to lose. Since it is a victory that can be won steadily, it is not worth taking risks to obtain."

Shadow Assassin Arance Kate showed a hideous smile, "Master Levi, I really like that big man's character, he is rude and savage, without much thought, compared to yours who always looks at people with a straight face." Your young squire knight is much stronger."

"Always with a straight face... you mean Grun Worm?" Levi was taken aback for a moment, "What's wrong with him? Is there any problem?"

"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be anything, but I always feel that there is something wrong with that guy, and it is getting stronger and stronger, like..." The shadow assassin blinked his eyes, as if struggling Thinking about a word that could be used to describe it, but finally shook his head helplessly, "I can't say it, but I always feel that he has some ulterior secret about him."

"And his speed of progress is a bit too alarming." Sir Rodriguez raised his head, pointed to a small paragraph on the intelligence and said, "Here are the criminals of the first regiment of Griffins reported by the Wilps branch leader. And a brief description of their deeds, and if the flame wheel knight did not exaggerate, Grun Worm should have killed three abyss demons by himself, and one of them was an abyss lord. His strength should not be as strong as attacking Heihe How inferior is the general Kleinus."

"General Kleinus?" Li Wei felt a sudden annoyance hit his heart, turned away from the scenery outside the window, and hurriedly paced a few steps in the corridor.General Kleinus was the first abyss lord that Li Wei faced. When the battle of the Heihe Guard was overwhelmingly unfavorable to the demons, he attacked the Great Wall of Ice Wall alone and defeated the Roaring Lord by himself. The siege of Bear Downer, Flame Wheel Knight Wilps, and several other high-ranking knights, if there is no sudden appearance of Sir Rodriguez, Levi Ston's life may end at the head of the Great Wall of Ice .

Any abyss lord is a very powerful and difficult opponent. Li Wei once thought that an ordinary earl with a sword would be able to defeat him. However, after asking Earl Ansair and Wilps respectively, he discovered that It's just his wishful thinking.Known as the sword dancer, Earl Ansair admitted that it would be difficult for him to beat General Kleinus in a one-on-one battle, let alone kill him on the spot; The Flaming Wheel Knight, who was the baron with a sword, answered more frankly. Although his strength has made great progress compared to the Heihe Guard Battle, he is still not the opponent of General Clennus.

It is difficult for human knights to defeat the abyssal demons of the same level in one-on-one battles. It is difficult for ordinary militiamen to resist little demons, and it is almost impossible for quasi-knights who do not have the seeds of fighting spirit to defeat horned demons.This is not to say that human soldiers have limited courage or insufficient training, but that there is a huge gap in physical fitness between human soldiers and abyssal demons.

Although the power of fighting spirit has greatly narrowed this gap, it is still far from reaching the level that can be smoothed out.

Just as demons can never possess the iron-like discipline of elite human troops, no matter how hard they go through training, human knights cannot possess the tough physique of abyssal demons. After a serious injury like wearing a chest, it is possible to struggle to survive.

"Two years ago, Glenn Worm was a stable boy in the hotel. Apart from the bard's heroic epic, he had no knowledge of knights at all." Sir Rodriguez's eyes jumped. Wisps of faint green light, the magic wristband on his right wrist is also making a low buzzing sound, "No matter what kind of genius knight he is, in just two years, he has grown from a servant to a sword-wielding swordsman who can slash an abyss lord with his hands. Nobility? This is simply incredible."

Li Weiqiang resisted the strange feeling in his heart, and defended Glenn Warm who was not present, "It is not impossible, Sir Rodriguez, two years ago, I was just an apprentice knight servant... Renworm may have his own adventure. But we shouldn't be jealous of that."

"Master Levi, do you mean that Glenn Worm has an adventure that can be compared with Castle Heart?" Sir Rodriguez's tone was as sharp as a whip, which made Levi's heart sink suddenly, "As for Jealousy, there is no such thing, as much ability comes with as much responsibility, I am not surprised if it is another Castle Heart, how much pressure Grun Worm will be under... I hope he is better than Lord Eyes Thomas Jansen has better luck."

"No, it's not something similar to Castle Heart." Shadow Assassin Arance Kate interjected, "Grun Worm doesn't feel like Master Levi to me, it's different, that kind of feeling should be dark and hidden Much more, it's like... It's like some kind of very ingenious spiritual suggestion, if it weren't for the power of the dark origin to be very sensitive to spiritual suggestion, I can't even be sure whether it really exists."

"Can it affect the mind of the Shadow Assassin?" Li Wei and Sir Rodriguez looked at each other, both feeling a little puzzled, "The Shadow Assassin should be immune to mental attacks, and has experienced such cruel torture during the manufacturing process." After that, is there any power that can affect the mind of the shadow assassin?"

Alans Kate narrowed his eyes. He was using the talent of the Shadow Assassin to search for fragments of the past in his memory until a tingling pain appeared in his mind.An exquisite weapon gradually appeared in front of his eyes, with smooth lines, a sharp blade full of white light like milk glass, and a hilt full of sacred aura - at first glance, it seemed a bit like Rist? Binsun's sword? The golden dawn, but the shadow assassin did not believe this impression, but continued to dig deeper into the memory...

"A sword!" Alans Kate yelled, his voice was like a wounded beast, hoarse and sharp, which made people feel shuddering, "Grun Worm has a terrible sword, I remembered it! That's it The sword makes me feel very disgusted, and... the effect of spiritual suggestion also comes from that sword, so I can't easily think of things related to it!"

"Wilps once told me about a sword that Grun Worm got before he realized the seeds of vindictiveness. He regarded that sword as a weapon that brought luck. It was different from the one left by his father. The dagger and stabbing are worn on the waist at the same time, and they never leave the body even for a moment, and even put them within easy reach when sleeping at night." Li Wei said with a wry smile as he recalled. "That sword also has a name, it's called Tran or something..."

"Could it be...Tranyate? Then I have an idea..." Sir Rodriguez showed a pensive expression, and after a few minutes, he suddenly raised his head, "Sorry, Master Levi, I need to verify it Whether my thinking is correct or not is a very serious matter, so I will resign first."
