[Check-in is a manifestation of honor and strength, I hope you do n’t forget to click the check-in in the upper right corner while watching the update]
I heard Chris begging, Lucian's smiling expression remained unchanged, and he said, "If your message is valuable, I will consider it as appropriate. The right of judgment is in my hands. You can choose to say or not."
Although Chris was frightened and frightened, but his tears were more a show of begging for mercy. At this time, he did not dare to hesitate and protest, and said hurriedly: "Master Knight, I stole an invitation letter a few days ago. , Maybe you will be interested. "
As an excellent thief, starting with Lucian's long sword pointed at his throat, Chris did not give up his efforts to find an escape opportunity, but the thought of the real knight who inspired the power of blood on the opposite side, he did not Dare to act rashly, and his proud agility and speed are simply ridiculous in the presence of the Cavaliers. Unless they have no hope for mercy, they will only take the risk to make a final fight.
"Invitation?" Lucian was slightly puzzled. "Why do you think I would be interested?"
Seeing that Lucien didn't do it, Chris gradually restrained his fear and fear, and stated clearly: "Because it looks like an invitation to a party of low-level black magicians, this will be the knight master. You will be a hero. A good opportunity for legends! "He remembered many rumors, thinking of Lucian as the knight who followed the ancient teachings and cruised the Great Chalkland.
"Low-level black magician? What is the invitation letter? Why didn't you tell the church directly? I think it will give you a generous reward." Lucian heard that it was a magician, and it suddenly occurred. No small interests and questions.
路 With the watchful eye of Lucien, Chris took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the slit of his belt and passed it: "Honest Lord, this is an invitation."
"A few days ago, a mysterious traveler came from Longya Town. Because of his generous shots, I quietly followed him and wanted to find a chance to steal something. As a result, instead of walking down the avenue, he walked through the surrounding forests. I happened to be See him kill several beasts trying to attack him with evil black magic.
Kushiro shook the paper away with his left hand, and his gaze was recorded in the Soul Library:
"When the Silver Moon rises on the second Friday of July, a death feast will be held in the Castle of Kareldia to welcome a gentleman from the headquarters of the Great Chalkland Magic Council. Former Wilfrey German magicians, magic apprentices, this will be the beginning of your bright future. "
No title, no signature, this is a strange feast, but Lucien is still full of interest, because he seems to be able to meet the magician sent by the headquarters of the Great Chakri Magic Council, so that he has reached the sea pearl Stu Erke no longer has to look for contacts.
Seeing no change in Lucian tattoos, Chris continued his narrative: "At the time, there was another adventurer squad following the mysterious traveler. After seeing the evil black magic, they thought they could kill the trip. Or, they constantly drove the beast to consume the opponent ’s magic, and then began to assault and siege. Unfortunately, they underestimated the horrible black magic that can evoke the dead, but they were given the upper hand by the traveler. But when they were defeated, I was spotted by a nearby robber and killed together. I seized the opportunity and stole valuable items from the traveler's body, including this letter. "
"The bandits are lucky to visit ..." Lucian sighed at the poor encounter of the magical apprentice, and then asked Chris again, "Why didn't you report to the church? Do you know the Castle of Kareldia?"
Lucien is no stranger to Wilfried's territory, because it is clear from ancient literature and historical records that Wilfried was one of several legendary necromancers who ruled the central and southern parts of the Great Chalkland during the ancient magic empire. One, unfortunately, he fell under the siege of the cardinal of the church, and even the half-plane magic tower was destroyed.
"I am a thief walking in darkness and shadow. If the church knows it, I will definitely be on the gallows, so I am rewarded." Chris is very proud of his identity as a thief. "Sorry, Lord Knight, I am not sure Where is the Kareldia Castle. In fact, I once inquired at the Adventurer's Guild and the Thieves' Union in Coser City. No one knows the location of the castle, and they have not even heard of it. I think it's probably a code name inside the Dark Mage. "
Since thieves often use code names, Chris thinks of it directly.
Lucian passed the disappointment in his heart, and no one knew about the Castle of Kareldia. He seemed to miss this opportunity, and he was unfamiliar in the Principality of Djibouti, and it was difficult to find clues. But Lucian still had a gentle and calm smile on his face: "I'm satisfied with the news. By the way, Chris, haven't you told anyone else?"
"My knight, your satisfaction is my pleasure." Chris breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be able to keep his hands, then he laughed with a sigh of relief, "I have not yet found a buyer for this news. If you have ordered my knight, I will bury it in my heart so that you can complete the heroic epic yourself. "
Balussian nodded. "Good job." Then the sword was sent, and it cruelly fell into Chris's throat.
Chris stared at Lucian in disbelief, his throat rustling, and he cried out as if shouting, "How did this happen? Why kill?" Are n’t you a knight of creed? ?! "
Balusian took back the sword and said flatly, "You know too much."
Although it may be very small to find Kareldia Castle yourself, if you really have a chance to go, then Chris who knows the invitation letter is the source of danger because it is not clear when he will sell the news to the class, so Get the attention of the church.
As long as he is not his own friend or innocent person, Lucian is more and more guiltless in killing people.
His eyes gradually lost his glory, and Chris fell on the wooden board of the carriage. If he knew this would happen, he might as well choose to leave his left hand.
Sometimes asking for forgiveness and exchange is not necessarily a better choice than accepting punishment directly.
Finger flames came out and burned the invitation. Lucian pushed the window of the car and shouted softly, "Betty."
In addition to occasional yawns, the vigil's half-elf girl Betty has been observing the surroundings tightly and quietly in accordance with the method taught by her brother-in-law Simon, guarding against the beast or robber's sneak attack. The stick that drew the campfire almost fell into the fire.
Waiting for wake-up was the voice of the employer, not the gruesome spirit and ghost named in the legend of the witch and the black magician, and Betty patted her chest, complaining in her heart: "It really scared me!"
She turned and gave a sweet smile: "Mr. Evans, is there anything wrong?"
"Come here, there's something to tell you." Lucian didn't say much.
Betty took two steps subconsciously, and suddenly remembered what her sister and brother-in-law had mentioned. Many female adventurers and mercenaries with good looks or good physiques were always harassed and seduced by their employers, and now it was quiet at night, Mr. Evans called Go to his own car
So she stopped abruptly, and her smile stiffened: "Mr. Evans, please tell me anything directly?"
Although if the employer is generous and not too annoying, some open female adventurers without partners do n’t mind having relationships, after all, in the lonely and arduous adventurer career, they can both enjoy the chalky body Many people ca n’t refuse to be happy and get rich rewards. Although Mr. Evans is young, handsome, elegant, and generous, even if he does n’t take the initiative to seduce, there are many female adventurers who are willing to share joy with him, but they return They themselves are very conservative!
"You need to take care of a little thing." Lucian didn't tease the pure girl's mind, pointed to the carriage, "A thief sneaked in."
"What ?!" Betty almost exclaimed, but she immediately covered her mouth, looked left and right, and found that she and her brother-in-law were not awake, and hurried to the carriage.
When opening the door and entering the compartment, Betty suddenly thought in annoyance: "Is there really a thief? Is it a lie that Mr. Izahn deliberately lied to me for? If he wanted to do something, I refused, Or shout out loud? Or just stun him? "
Anxious Betty saw that there was indeed a black thief lying in the carriage, and Lucian sat side by side politely, only to feel relieved, but also a little disappointed, was he not attractive? Does Mr. Evans look down on himself at all?
克里斯 "Chris? He is a thief ?!" A slight disappointment was quickly dissipated by surprise, "He died? Did you kill him, Mr. Evans?"
Balussian smiled, "He wanted to come in and steal my sword, but the action was a little heavier and he woke me up, so I was shot and killed."
Betty originally wanted to say something, and when she heard the words, she looked up suddenly, and saw that Lucien had no fear and guilt after the murder of ordinary noble masters, as calm and natural as daytime.
Recalling that even if Chris is not a two-handed sword fighter, his pace and agility are extraordinary, and her strength is not much worse than that of her sister and brother-in-law. She whispered clearly: "Mr. Evans, your strength I'm afraid it's not bad. "
He should be a high-level knight attendant, right? It is admirable that Mr. Evans has such a degree at such a young age.
麻烦 "Trouble Betty, you take care of this corpse."
Balusian didn't answer, and pointed at Chris, who was lying, except for the thief tools, this guy had only brought a few silver nals.
Then Betty remembered what she was about to say before, smirking with regret: "Mr. Evans, I apologize to you, it was my negligence of the vigil that allowed Chris to sneak in but can you tell My sister, I don't want her to be disappointed and scolded. I will learn my own lesson.
Baluchien chuckled and put her finger on her lips. "Shh, you quietly handle the body, your sister won't know."
真的 "Really? Mr. Evans, you are such a great man." Betty laughed happily, without any discomfort because of Chris' death, and the arrest of such a thief is usually the end of death.
Looking at Betty holding her body lightly and then going out, Lucian suddenly asked: "Betty, do you know the Castle of Kareldia?"
"No. I don't remember the castle with this name." Betty frowned and thought about it.
Balussian nodded slightly disappointed.
Betty, an adventurer with a wealth of experience, quickly handled Chris's body and did not alarm anyone. When he moved on the next day, except for the two bards, it was strange that Chris didn't say goodbye to the others. He didn't care, and Betty became more enthusiastic and respectful of him thanks to Lucian for keeping secret.
In the evening on the third day, the carriage drove to a fork in the road. To the north is the town of Grey Mist with a deep mountain logging plant, and to the northeast is the town of Nice with iron ore. Both can reach Coser City, but the former is more remote, The road is harder and few people go there.
Because Lina was going to Grey Misty Town, the adventurer team chose northbound at the fork. (To be continued [this text is provided by the breaking dawn update group @ 红尘 乱 韶].
