Heart of the Castle

Chapter 796

The assassination of Lord Levi Ston, the young regent of the Kingdom of Arthur, and the injury of Her Majesty Queen Fleischer I were quite a coincidence in a legendary story. Even many people present who witnessed the incident still felt incredible when they recalled it.

At noon on the second day after Sir Rodriguez doubted Glenn Worm's saber and went to a certain place to investigate and collect evidence, the young ice dragon knight walked vigorously through the incomplete arch of Ash Fortress and walked into the The newly renovated audience hall of King Arthur's Palace.As he is a well-known general of the Griffon Knights and once served as a knight attendant to the Regent King Levi Stern, the eight Ash Knights guarding the outer gate did not have any doubts in their hearts. After a simple answer, they turned and pushed away the heavy door.

Grunwalm restrained the uneasiness in his heart with steely willpower, and walked in. However, when he heard the door slamming shut behind him, an inexplicable impulse made him almost retreat, and even wanted to turn around. leave.

"No, no, I am the God's Chosen One. This is my historical mission, and I must...complete it!" He told himself silently, his right hand involuntarily grasping the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly.From the smooth and hard familiar touch on the hilt of the Holy Sword Tranyat Heath, Grunwalm regained some courage. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and continued to move forward. pace.

Since it was not an audience day, the audience hall was empty, only a few court servants in plain robes were busy cleaning, and the tall fireplaces on the left and right sides of the hall were not burning vigorously. , only a few dark red embers were seen smoldering at the bottom of the furnace.

"Such a royal palace that advocates thrift is hard to see in the human kingdoms." With such thoughts in mind, Grunwalm quickly walked through the audience hall and walked towards the long and deep corridor.As the footsteps stretched, his mind was also running fast non-stop, "The regent Li Wei Ston should rest in his room now, or meet one or two nobles of the kingdom who have appeals. If you are lucky , there will only be one or two Griffin champion knights as guards, and the shadow assassin Arance Kate was sent to Earl Buster to monitor the whereabouts of this veteran knight and protect him from being assassinated; Rist ? Robinson was assigned to serve as a guard beside Queen Fleischer, and even Sir Rodriguez left Firmeyer... It's as if all the gods in the sky are blessing my plan to succeed. "

"The next step is how to escape from the palace. Fortunately, the defense force of the palace has always focused on closely protecting Her Majesty Queen Fleisher, while the protection for Levi Stern is relatively weak. It is difficult to escape from the weak defense of Ashes Fortress before the siege is closed." Grun Worm showed a smug smile on his face, secretly pleased with his meticulous mind, "I am afraid this is also the same as Levi Ston's record. Who would have imagined that the ever-victorious Dawn of the Northern Territory, the hero who turned the tide and turned the tide, is only as strong as the Great Knight Commander?"

It was a small thorn in Grunwalm's heart, and it ached more and more with each passing day until it was too much for him to bear. "Regardless of age or strength, I should be the hero who left his name in history!" Grunnorm gritted his teeth, and glanced gloomyly at the high stone windows on both sides of the corridor, through which strong sunlight shone through. , leaving mottled streaks on the ground ahead.

The corridor soon came to an end, and there was Levi Stern's room not far in front. As Grunwalm speculated, except for two heavily armed Griffin Champion knights standing in front of the door, there was silence in the corridor.

Grun Worm licked his lips nervously, stroked the hilt of the holy sword Granart Heath for the last time, and then forced himself to remove his hand from it.When entering the Prince Regent's chambers, he must look calm and behave naturally, without trembling hands, without losing courage. "I am implementing the decision of the gods in the sky." He repeated in his heart to strengthen his belief, "Your Excellency Levi Ston... sorry."

The young Ice Dragon Knight bowed respectfully towards the door. Although it was impossible for the regent to see his actions through the door, he was used to doing so.Then, in the calmest voice, he stated his request for an audience.

Levi Stern's answer came from the room almost immediately, "The door is open, please come in, Knight Grunwalm."

Grunworm's arm that pushed the door open did not tremble in the slightest, which was not easy to do, especially when he saw that Levi Stern was not the only one in the room, but Her Majesty Queen Fleisher I and two When he was an important minister of the kingdom.Of course, Grunwalm did not ignore the thin figure leaning against the window. The blond bard held a harp in his hand and played a light tune from time to time, making the atmosphere in the room less tense.

"Obviously, this is not a very good opportunity to assassinate." Grunwalm's heart sank suddenly, "But I am afraid this is my only chance, the news that the holy sword Granart Heath has fallen into my hands It won't be hidden for too long, that Sir Rodriguez is likely to be investigating information related to this, I must seize this last chance, otherwise this holy sword will no longer belong to me!"

"Knight Glenn Worm, do you request an audience with His Excellency the Prince Regent, what is the reason for wanting to talk to him in private?" Queen Fleischer said in a sharp tone, and it was obvious that the verbal confrontation just now still left some traces in her. anger. "So, do we need to avoid it?"

"Of course not, Your Majesty the Queen." If he didn't want to make people suspicious, there was no other answer to choose from. Grunwalm kowtowed to his chest and walked towards Levi non-stop. "Although this bard's strength is unfathomable, he really likes to pretend to be powerless. As long as he can get within three meters of Li Wei before he changes the harp in his hand into a sharp sword, everything will be fine. The problems were all solved.”

"Your Excellency the Regent, please forgive me for having to disturb you at this time, because I accidentally discovered that some bad thoughts are being circulated among the soldiers of the first Griffin regiment, and I must report to you..."

"Is there such a thing?" Li Wei replied in a puzzled tone while frowning.This was an ominous signal. Grun Worm felt his entire spine soaked in icy water, and countless sharp thorns pricked his back.

"He's doubting my reason for coming!" The young ice dragon knight thought incredulously, "It's impossible, I absolutely didn't show any flaws just now!" However, the development of the matter has gone in a direction that Glenn Warm never wants to see Moving forward, Li Wei's body moved, ready to stand up from the high-back chair.

Without time to think about success or failure, Grun Worm drew his sword out of its sheath almost subconsciously, and then a dazzling ice-blue grudge glowed all over his body. Under the cover of fighting spirit, he stabbed Li Wei's right leg silently.

Tran Yate Heath is a miraculous weapon, it is extremely sharp, and the steel armor and magic shield are all vulnerable to its sword edge; It can cause it to fall to the ground and die.Grunwalm is already very familiar with this magical power. He can use it to kill a powerful abyssal demon lord in a frontal battle, and of course he can kill Levi Stern, who is far inferior to the abyssal demon lord. .

Tran Yate Heath's pale blade was blocked by a long sword burning with silver-white grudge light less than ten centimeters from the regent's right leg. The fine steel knight sword from the blacksmith shop in the heart of the castle trembled slightly. , but in the end, Tran Yate Heath's blade was blocked.Grunwalm almost did not stop to strike out the second and third swords, and the dense and fierce sword light mercilessly launched a fierce attack on Levi Stern.The latter withstood almost all the attacks with his superior swordsmanship, and only allowed the last sword to break through the defense.The pale sword blade bit Li Wei's right shoulder like a poisonous snake.

"Victory!" Grun Worm almost wanted to scream to celebrate the victory. He only needed to leave a slight scar on Levi's body, and he could guarantee the victory in his hands.The battle happened too suddenly and ended too quickly. The blond bard had already thrown his harp and rushed over from the window with a grim face, but judging from the distance, he was too late anyway!
Tran Yate Heath's sword bit into the warm flesh as imagined, and then the man let out a low moan, staggered and fell, and fell on Levi Stern's face, whose face was as pale as paper. In the arms.

Her Majesty Queen Fleisher of the Kingdom of Arthur took a step across at the last moment and used her body to block Levi Ston's face. Tran Yate Heath's sword pierced her right arm!
The opportunity is fleeting, and Rist Robinson holding the golden morning light has already stood in front of the young regent. There is no chance of hurting Levi Stern, and there is no possibility of leaving his name in history. Renworm almost sighed in disappointment, but he knew that the current chaos was his last chance to escape, and he had to...

The young knight's footsteps suddenly stopped, his pupils dilated, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and crawled down his cheeks like a small transparent snake. "What the hell did I do?" Grunwalm's heart clenched tightly because of the terrible fact, "I actually wanted to assassinate Lord Regent Levi Stern, and I did it out of jealousy." Such a terrible thing to happen!"

Grun Worm fell to his knees slumped, the holy sword Granart Heath slipped from his weak fingers, knocked on the ground with a clang, and then broke into thousands of tiny pieces!
