The 566th Chapter Stranger (1)
Three or five black riders, walking under the scorching sun. Although the season has entered autumn, the weather has not receded from the heat, so most of the knights' faces are covered with beads of sweat. Apart from Higgs, the only one with dripping sweat on his face was Alan in disguise. Allen painted his skin black, and his conspicuous silver hair was all gathered in the helmet depicting cloud patterns. He was riding a black war horse, and on one side of the horse was a heavy blood-hidden knife wrapped tightly in cloth strips.
In the decisive battle with Segeris, Qianjun sealed the source power of the Nine Dao Flames, causing the inside of the blade to collapse. Now there is only half of the black heavy knife left, Allen can only put it away, and wait to bring it back to Earth to see if there is any way to repair it.
Now the only one with him is Xue Yin, the killer weapon of Xue Yin, even if no source power is injected, the murderous aura is still faintly escaping. Let Allen have to comfort the horse during the journey, otherwise the horse would have been frightened and ran away.
The four knights who followed Higgs were Dark Thunder Knights, and they were the only four remaining after the Battle of the Viscounty. These people are Higgs' confidantes, so they naturally know that the seemingly weak soldier is actually Allen. Looking at Alan's darkened face without a single drop of sweat, and looking at the strange knife that was constantly radiating murderous aura, Dark Thunder Knight's eyes became a little different.
During the lunch break, Higgs handed Alan a pack of roasted dried meat, and his eyes also fell on Xueyin: "My lord, this knife must have a special history. Every time I see it, I can't think of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood." screen."
"It's called Xueyin. I heard it was the favorite knife of a famous general in the empire hundreds of years ago." Allen said briefly.
Higgs gasped, "Blood hidden? Could it be the sword of General Blood Lion? I heard that this sword has been missing for many years. General Blood Lion went to the Shadow Principality and did not return in the end. Rumor has it that he died in battle. In the Principality of Shadows, the empire has been pursuing this saber to show respect for General Blood Lion. But it has been fruitless, and several wars broke out around this knife during the period, and finally nothing happened."
"Where did your lord get it?" After finishing speaking, Higgs felt speechless, and hurriedly said, "I'm talking too much, my lord doesn't need to answer me."
Allen laughed and said, "It's not a secret. I got this knife from Sir Daniel's secret vault."
"Sir Daniel is hiding this knife?" Higgs frowned. "Don't he know that the empire has never given up on pursuing this knife?"
"So, after I go back, I have to make some disguise for Xue Yin, so as not to cause troubles if he is recognized in the future." Allen didn't expect that this knife would have something to do with the Empire. He was not from the Empire after all. Knowing that Xue Yin still has such a past, that's all. Allen didn't believe that Daniel would not be aware of this. Knowing that the imperial family was pursuing Yin Yin, he boldly collected it, which was a bit unusual.
And hear Higgs say,
Blood Yin should be in the hands of the Shadow Principality, so where did Daniel get this knife?
On the other side facing Lake Portelli, there is a dense forest. Across the woods is a small town. The town is not big, and there are hundreds of families living in the town. The name of the town is Trisen, and the entire town can be overlooked from the room on the highest floor of the Unicorn Castle. This town, which has attracted the attention of the lord, was just a village with dozens of households twenty years ago.
Daniel grew up in this village.
At that time, there was no castle on Lake Portieri, which Daniel later built for his wife. But the castle hadn't been built yet, and his young wife died after giving birth to Unter.
Then the village gradually turned into a town, and the trails paved with mud and gravel many years ago have now become roads paved with neat paving bricks. Those dilapidated wooden houses have also turned into two or three-story civil buildings. After several expansions, the town has a meeting square, a bell tower, and a fountain with a stone sculpture of Daniel. Tall shady trees were planted on both sides of the road, and bars and hotels gradually appeared, which made the town prosperous.
If Daniel hadn't died in battle, Cui Sen Town might have become a city. It's a pity that there are never what-ifs in life, so when it was learned that Daniel was killed in battle, the atmosphere in the town was depressed for a while. It wasn't until Daniel's son Unter became the new lord that people gradually saw smiles on their faces. But many people think that Unter does not have that ability, the boy who inherited his mother's weak and docile personality. Could be a poet, a painter, but never a good lord.
But the lord's world is so far away from ordinary people that they can only think about it in their minds. As for who is the lord, they have no control over it and cannot interfere. I can only hope that Ante can keep his father's business and let everyone have a stable life, which is enough.
It was evening, and a few people wearing cloaks and covering their whole bodies entered the town. The breath on them was very obscure, and when they passed the door of several houses, the domestic dogs tied to the door kept barking at them. One of them stopped and looked at the dog that was barking the most. A bone-chilling light glowed in the cloak, so the dog suddenly folded its tail, lying on the ground, not daring to move.
These people entered the Elk Bar.
The owner of the bar was wiping the wine glass, while the female bartender was lying listlessly on the table. The two lumps of soft flesh on her chest were thus pressed into a dream-inducing shape, almost jumping out from the loose neckline. When those mysterious figures walked into the bar, the boss said without looking up: "It's not open yet..."
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow flew to the bar in front of him. The boss took a closer look, and it turned out to be a money bag. Open it, and it's full of brilliant gold coins. The boss immediately put on a smiling face: "However, we have always given special treatment to distinguished guests. Damn it, Keli, you still haven't greeted our guests."
"We want a secluded room." One of the short people said in a hoarse, monotonous and strange voice.
"No problem, please come with me." The female bartender stood up, and her movements were so big that her chest felt choppy.
On the second floor of the Elk Bar, there are some rooms to meet the needs of guests. People can have more private exchanges here, or conduct some secret transactions, and even serve as a place for men and women to seek pleasure. It was still early, and there was no one on the second floor. Keli led several guests into a relatively spacious room, and quickly brought drinks.
A gold coin fell into Keri's neckline, it was her tip.
Such generous guests are rare, and when Keri left, she did not forget to say to them: "If you have special needs, you know, I can provide services that make people feel comfortable. The price, A man is a gold coin. If there are many, the price is more. Have a good evening, gentlemen."
After the door closed, a person inside let out a strange laugh.
Time passed quietly, and when the lights began to come on, another person entered the bar. The boss sighed: "Guest, we... Hey, it's you!"
Standing at the door was an old man, wearing neat clothes and pants. Almost no one in the town would not recognize him, because this was the housekeeper who served Daniel all the year round. The boss said unexpectedly, "Why are you here?"
"I have an appointment, they should be here." The old housekeeper whispered.
The boss remembered those weird guests, so he described them. The old butler nodded and said, "Where are they?"
"I'll take you up." Keli stood up and said, "They're on the second floor."
After a while, the old housekeeper walked into the room. Keli glanced at the table, and the wine on the table was not moving at all, and these people had been sitting dryly. Queer fellows, Keri thought.
After sending the female bartender away, the old butler sat down. The leader on the other side spoke up, "Why didn't Daniel come?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Daniel can't come. Because he... has died in battle."
"Dead in battle?" The short guy on the left screamed sharply from the hat: "This is impossible. Although that guy is not very good, he is still a strong Viscount. It is possible only if he is a Marquis or a strong Earl." Kill him. And as far as we know, there is no such character here!"
"That's the truth, my lord. Viscount Daniel was killed by a baron named Allen." The old butler said in a deep voice.
The person in charge suddenly floated up like a dark cloud, crossed the table without a sound, and landed in front of the old housekeeper. A scaly arm protruded from the cloak, pinching the old butler's neck with a palm with three thick knuckles, the man said in a cold voice, "You are lying!"
The old butler blushed and managed to squeeze out a few words: "You know I don't."
After staring at each other for a while, the old housekeeper let go of his hand, and there was a violent coughing sound in the room. When the old housekeeper recovered his breath, he asked, "What's going on?"
The course of things is not complicated, so the narrative only takes up a little time. After listening to the whole story, the man said in a deep voice: "Then, we need to get back the things that were deposited with Daniel."
"About this." The old butler smiled wryly: "My lord's secret library was also ransacked by that Sir Allen, and most of the things have been taken away by him."
"What!" The man suddenly stood up, and the shadow of the hat shot out a dazzling light: "Blood Yin, Vulcan's Heart, and Ten Thousand Beast Blood Essence, where are they?"
"They are naturally in the hands of that jazz."
There was a low growl like a lion roaring in the room, and all the spilled cups burst into pieces one by one, and the shattered cup fragments sprayed to every corner of the room together with the ale. After a long time, the man gasped and said, "Now, who is the lord?"
After hesitating for a moment, the old housekeeper said, "It's your lord's son, Master Angte." r1058
