In the civilian area east of the city, at the corner of a certain alleyway, there is a small inconspicuous door, this door is so hidden that as long as it is not opened, almost no one can find it, but now, this door has been opened, and the sound of people talking can be heard behind the door.

"Joshua...... My lord, have you really killed Moze? ”

Nolan, a gray-haired and purple-eyed stalker, one of the next heirs of the Wilson family, was supposed to stay in her small manor this winter, enjoying the warmth of the fireplace and hearty food, but due to the brainless blind behavior of her brother, she could only be forced to come to the main city of Moldavia, endure the cold wind and blizzards, and even stay in a small room...... Face such a monster in front of you.

"I don't think the person who was cut in half can still live, ah, then again, your brother is indeed not weak, and the dying punch is quite heavy."

The tall man in front of him with long black rough hair and black and red eyes was expressionless, although he was not handsome, but he also had a unique charm of a hard-line man, this man named Joshua spoke like a heavy drum hammer, bringing unbreathable force, he turned his gaze and looked directly into the girl's eyes, there was no temperature in his eyes, only a sharp and cold coercion like steel: "What about Chris, didn't you bring him to this safe house?" ”

With that, he clasped his hands to his chest, waiting for the stalker's answer.

"No, no, no, he's, yes, and he left on his own."

Feeling heartfelt fear, Nolan felt that her throat was a little dry, her head was messy, under the influence of instinct, she subconsciously swept around, this is the safe house she specially selected, hidden and unnoticeable, and very suitable for escape, the window behind her, the fireplace on the left side only needs a light bump to get out of this room, and then as long as you use the skills of [Existence Disappearance], [Human Concealment], [Deep Stealth], she can escape.

"Speak."

Gently two words shook Nolan's eardrums, so that her consciousness returned to her body, and the somewhat collapsed reason stimulated by fear was also recondensed, and the girl who came back to her senses couldn't help but sigh lightly - it was not bad, but in the face of a gold-level, or a powerful warrior who could kill another gold, as long as she dared to make the slightest move, then in the next moment, her head would be smashed by a heavy fist.

She's still young and doesn't plan to become a Headless Horseman, so let's talk about it.

"Almost two and a half hours ago, Chris seemed to have received some magical text message, and then insisted on leaving—I didn't stop him from his position or reason, so I let him go, but he left you a letter, which was placed on the table next to it, and I didn't read it or touch it."

"Faith again."

Under Nolan's careful gaze, the black-haired warrior didn't know why his mood had become worse, he frowned, walked to the table and picked up the letter: "Brother, since it's not aimed at me, I don't plan to kill him, why are you running so fast, it's inexplicable." ”

Yes, uncle, you didn't plan to kill me, but I still had weak legs when I talked to you!

"Listening to what he said casually, it should be that he had something wrong with the Chamber of Commerce and the Alchemy Workshop in the south of the empire, so he left in such a hurry......"

Regretting it in his heart, he carefully explained, Nolan suddenly felt that Chris, an alchemist, was really worthy of being a spellcaster, and his IQ was indeed higher than her, and he knew that he could find a reason to leave early while he was in chaos, but he was stupid to stay in the safe house and just didn't know how to go, which was stupid.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what he does."

Placing the letter in his chest, Joshua turned his head to look at the gray-haired stalker and smiled with no kindness: "Next, let's talk about the Wilson family's support of my dead ghost uncle, which caused the main city to suffer a great loss. ”

"This ......"

"If you don't want to be knocked on the door by me, you'd better think about it before you talk, okay, Miss Nolan, let's sit down and talk."

========================

Starfall 831, winter November 6, Black Forest fortress, rare sunny day.

The winter sun is not warm, but it can bring a little heat, and it is indeed good weather for the knights standing guard and patrolling.

But the conference room in the fortress was completely different from the outside, and there was an awkward silence.

It was a room made of white rock, with a carpet of black and gold intervals covering the hall, and a long conference table made of brown pine in the center, around which several powerful knights in armor sat in silence, all bowing their heads and saying nothing.

"Silver Knights, fifty-five, elite Northland War Riders, one hundred and twenty."

On the left side of the conference room, someone finally broke the silence, speaking a tall warrior wearing a masked helmet, his voice was muffled by the helmet, and he said word by word: "A small half of the entire fortress is fully armed, fully prepared, and ready to set off at any time." ”

"There are sixteen members of the mage group, including nine Priest Radiant Spirit, six Silver Mages, and one Frost Warlock."

The second voice was the white-haired old man on the right side of the conference table, he wore single-rimmed glasses, held a magic copper staff, and looked fierce, at a glance he looked more like a warrior than a mage, and his voice almost leaked out between his teeth: "The trigger scrolls are all full, and if they are blasted out, they can at least collapse a city wall." ”

"Keely, Feng, what nonsense are you two big men talking about, give me a good talk!"

A heavy slap sounded on the table, and at the front of the conference table, a middle-aged knight with blond hair snorted angrily and said loudly: "No matter how much you have prepared, you don't need it now!" The action is so slow, one by one is embarrassed to take a salary, and it is embarrassing to claim allegiance to the old lord! ”

"Zorgun, don't think that if you are the head of the fortress garrison, I won't dare to do it!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the masked knight did not show weakness, he slapped the table and stood up, pointed at the nose of the middle-aged blonde knight and said angrily: "Wasn't it you who ordered the decision to take a look at the situation first, now pretending to be a prophet, if you have the ability, you will send troops over to fight the main city back at that time!" ”

"That's right, you guy, don't think that I can't do it because I'm a mage, I'm von Lawrence putting my words here today, there is no Northland who can't hold a sword, if you don't explain it clearly, let's go outside and fight it out now!"

The white-haired mage threw the staff, and the mage's robe was flicked, revealing a strong arm full of scars and wounds, looking at that muscle, at least he could kill a bear empty-handed, and the characteristic mage of the Northlands who was a part-time berserker of the sculptor called out a fire blast spell in his hand without saying a word, and it looked like he would throw it out at any time.

The conference room suddenly changed from extremely quiet to extremely moving, and seeing that the three fortress management were about to fight a duel in the conference room, their subordinates, who had long been accustomed to it, immediately stepped forward and grabbed the three guys born from the fighting race, and persuaded them with good words.

After a period of tossing, the three highest commanders of the fortress, the chief of the garrison, the mentor of the mage regiment and the head of the knight order, all vented some emotions and calmed down a little.

"Shame!"

There was another heavy slap on the table, and this time it was the white-haired mage named Feng who took the lead, and his expression looked very painful: "This is a great shame!" ”

"As a knight, I can't bring glory to the Lord, not to mention, I actually lost the main city!"

Although the masked knight couldn't see his face, his voice was extremely remorseful: "If the lord is still alive...... Yes! ”

"Don't say too much about the two of you, who would have thought of Young Master Joshua...... The new lord is so capable of fighting! ”

Sighing, the blonde middle-aged knight Zorgen was also puzzled: "It's really strange, young master, no, Lord Lord, as long as he comes to the Black Forest Fortress, even if he fights to ignore the Black Tide, we have to go out all and knock down the main city, why should he do it alone?" We haven't heard anything from us, and if Elson hadn't sent it back, we wouldn't have known that Lord Lords had returned from the Crows. ”

"The adults themselves can easily kill twenty or thirty silver knights, and they can knock down the main city with one hand, what do you want you and me to do."

With a cold snort, Keely straightened his masked helmet and said in a dull voice: "A knight, you can't share the worries of the Lord, and let the Lord personally face the danger, I am so ashamed that I want to commit suicide now, I just ask the Black Tide to come quickly, let me kill a few more demonic beasts, and wash away the shame with its blood!" ”

"Now, hurry up and let the group of city guards go back, the main city needs them to maintain order."

The last command to put an end to the discussion and contention in the room,

Something like this in the Black Forest fortress spread throughout the Moldavian realm, and the knights of the territory everywhere, and even the dwarves living in it, were equally shocked by the news.
