Chapter 470: Knights of the Most Zealous Heart
Grand Master Witherland immediately stood up from his seat when he heard the news, and asked excitedly, "What were you talking about just now?" Repeat! ”
"Kaidong. Sir Felcom has returned with a captive, who claims to have completed the mission, that the Blind Eye cult has been completely dismantled, and that the culprits behind it have been eliminated. The young midshipman, though a little puzzled, repeated the order anyway.
"Quick! Get Sir Caton here at once, and bring the prisoner with him, and I have something very important to ask him about. Witherland gave the order quickly. He couldn't believe that his luck was so good, and just as he was discussing how to send troops, one of the parties came back.
A few minutes later, a tired Caton was ushered into the conference room, along with Cal, who had just woken up. This hapless cult leader is now completely gone, and the slightest movement of his lower body will cause a heart-piercing pain. The taste of a bladder bursting is not pleasant, and if I had to describe it in one word, it would be life rather than death.
Witherland opened his arms and laughed, "Welcome back, Brother Cadon." Heard you've completed your mission? Tell us what's going on, and of course, the Mind Flayer. ”
"Of course, honorable Grand Master, and gentlemen, it is my obligation." As he spoke, Kaidong bowed slightly to everyone present.
He cleared his throat and recounted the adventures of the two days in a slightly hoarse voice. Including how to enter the sewers, how to encounter Tarnor's squad, and how to accidentally discover the base of the Mind Flayer. Enter the dungeon. Destroy the city built by the undead. Fight your way into the lair of the Eye Demon and finally defeat the cult's followers and capture their leaders.
After listening to these exciting adventure stories, all of you were soaked in sweat. If it weren't for the narration of Kaidon, the oldest of the entire Knights, they would not have believed that there were so many evils hidden in the holiest part of the city. What's even more unbelievable is that an adventure team of six people actually solved almost all the problems in just two days.
At the end, Caton pointed to Cal, who had collapsed on the ground, and said, "This man is the leader of the Blind Eye cult. I hope that a public trial will be held in front of the square of the Senate so that everyone will know about the crimes he has committed. In addition, we have promised that the remuneration paid to Lord Henry would be honoured as far as possible. ”
Grand Master Witherland nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Don't worry, I will do my best to contact the temple regarding the reward, and at the same time, the six holy warriors will soon leave the Knights." As for the public trial, the opinion of the Senate must be consulted first, and it can only be conducted if they do not object. Also, we need the details of the Mind Flayer base, and we hope you can describe it in detail. ”
"I don't have much information I can provide, only the terrain at the entrance. It was a small path that was not very wide, and when you climbed up the stairs, you entered the enemy's sphere of influence. They are usually in groups of a dozen or so. Dozens or even hundreds of slaves were told. If there is a frontal attack, I am afraid that the losses will be very large. Because the slaves under the control of the Mind Grabbing Demon are not afraid of death at all. But I would like to ask him about His Excellency Henry, who is very knowledgeable, and I believe that he will be able to find a solution. ”
After Caydon finished speaking, he pulled out the Holy Avenger behind him, and then found a chair and sat down. He felt that he was a little older, and he had only been on the adventure for less than two days, and now he felt sore, especially in his waist, as if he wanted to break off.
Seeing this situation, the midshipman who was standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you need my help to remove the armor?" ”
"Yes kid, help me take off this heavy armor, it's breaking my waist." As he spoke, Kaidon laid his sword flat on the table, spreading his arms and letting the apprentice knight fiddle with the ancient magical armor.
Sir Charas glanced at the Grand Master who was bowing his head in contemplation, turned his head and whispered, "Old man, it seems that you should really retire. You know, a lot of people are betting these days that they think you're going to set an unbeatable service record. ”
"Haha, it's time for me to retire, but only after this crisis is resolved." As soon as Kaidong took off his armor, he felt a lot more relaxed and was in the mood to joke. While stroking the holy sword in his hand, he asked, "Do you know what the biggest impression this mission gave me?" ”
"Is it the spread of evil? Or is the enemy strong? Charas speculated.
Caton smiled and shook his head. "Neither, it's Lord Henry's strength. I never imagined that a single person could be so calm in the face of thousands of undead, and he could even use a small trick to get dozens of powerful Eye Demons drunk. With a strong combination of strength and a clever mind, I'm afraid that the whole of Amm can't find a second character who can match it. ”
"Of course. As a legendary spellcaster capable of harnessing dragons, his power is absolutely unquestionable. But this sword in your hand doesn't seem to be the same as before, so let me see it. As he spoke, Charas snatched the Holy Avenger and took a closer look. A few seconds later he exclaimed in astonishment, "Oh my God! This is actually the Holy Sword!!! ”
"What holy sword?" Grand Master Witherland looked up and asked suspiciously.
Charas excitedly held the golden two-handed greatsword in both hands and shouted, "This is the Holy Avenger Cassomir!" Legend has it that only paladins can use legendary weapons! ”
"The God of Justice is above! Where did this weapon come from? Witherland's face was filled with shock. As a holy warrior, he had heard of the name of this holy sword when he was young, and he had no idea that he would one day be able to see it with his own eyes.
Kaidong smiled bitterly and shook his head to explain: "This belongs to Lord Henry, it is said that he killed an old red dragon named Fairkrage in the Wind Spear Hill, and the loot captured from the other party's lair, I only borrowed it, and I will exchange it back after the mission is completed." ”
"Damn! Can we pay for it? You know, I always dream of wielding it with my own hands to slay evil. Charas's tone was filled with wistfulness. He could feel the pure power of the Holy Avenger, and he would not be separated from it for a second.
"I'm afraid it's hard. You must know that every legendary mage is very wealthy, at least much richer than the Knights. I don't think he's going to sell a legendary weapon, even if it's unusable. ”
Although he didn't want to hit his friend, Kaidong told the truth. He had only been with Henry for two days, but it was clear that there was no shortage of money at all. This can be seen from the distribution of loot, which is completely based on need, not proportional to normal adventure squads.
The well-informed Grand Master Witherland, of course, knew about the legendary mage's wealth, and therefore abandoned the idea of using the Order's funds to buy the Holy Sword. He waved his hand to stop Charas, who was still about to speak, and then asked solemnly, "Sir Kaidon, do you think we can hire this "Dragon Rider" again?" Or is he willing to join us in encircling and exterminating the demon-snatching underground base? ”
After thinking about it for a few minutes, Caton smiled and nodded. "Of course, but I think the conditions will be harsh. For example, the ownership of the loot, in addition, there is a commission of tens of thousands of gold coins. ”
"Our goal is to rid the evil, and as for the loot and commissions, there should be no problem, and the same should be true for the Shrine and the Council. Well, I'll go now, try to settle the matter, and you'll have to do it again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." With that, Witherland stood up and walked towards the door.
"What to do with this cult leader? We don't have a dungeon where we can hold our captives! Caton shouted at Grand Master's back.
Witherland said without replying, "Directly to the prison in the administrative district." He then left the room.
"Hey, old man, I'll take care of the captives. You're tired, take a shower and rest, and maybe you'll have to set off with the coalition the day after tomorrow. Sir Charles said.
Kaidong was indeed a little tired, and then nodded. "Thank you, my friend, I'll leave it to you. Remember to treat him before he goes to jail, otherwise this guy will probably not survive the day of the trial. ”
"Rest in peace, I'll leave this guy to me." With that, Charles used only one hand to pull Cal up and carry it on his shoulder. His strength was simply terrifying, and he ignored the screams of his captives, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Ryan. Thor laughed and shook his head and said to Kaidon, "Hahahaha! This action reminds me of the days when I first joined the Knights. At that time, Charles the Bear was a nightmare for all newcomers, and he always liked to grab his opponents and hold them up in the air during combat training. By the way, are you going to go straight home, or stay in the barracks? ”
"I'm not going back today, and I'll go home and have a good rest after the Mind Flayer's underground base is completely eradicated. In addition, I want to retire and stay at home with my wife and children. As he spoke, a hint of guilt appeared on Kaidong's face.
"My brother, you should have retired a long time ago. You know, I heard the other day that your wife is in a close relationship with a strange man, and when this mission is over, you'd better investigate. ”
Hear Ryan. Thor's words, Kaidon's face immediately turned ugly. He frowned and asked, "You mean Maria cheating?" ”
"I don't know, maybe it's just a rumor, maybe it's just an ordinary meeting. But you don't seem to have been home in three months, right? It's time to let go of heavy tasks and regain the warmth of family. ”
Ryan. Thor patted his old friend on the shoulder comfortingly. He knew that the wives of many members of the Order had cheated on them, as it was inevitable that they would not return home for months, if not even a year. After all, most women are very emotional and have a hard time putting up with long-term loneliness.
