Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 7 Dove occupying the magpie's nest
The old man in a black-gray robe leaned back on the long table, his fragile waist seemed to be broken.Black blood gushed out of his mouth continuously, and the wound on his abdomen was also bleeding continuously.

Holding the broken sword, Cyril stared at the old man's twitching body gradually stiffening, but he didn't intend to relax his vigilance at all, and even pulled out the intact knight sword from his waist——

Dual-wielding weapon proficiency is a must for wanderers. Even without the blessing of skills at the moment, relying on the memory engraved in the DNA, Cyril believes that he can exert enough power.

Cyril could be sure that this supposedly fatal blow to an old man did not kill him.This of course has part of the reason for the experience in the game.

In the mission called [Dove Occupying the Magpie's Nest], players need to go to a demolished town in northern Xinjiang with only a few remaining buildings left to investigate possible heretics.It was originally a simple investigation mission, but as the mission progressed, countless potential crises within La Rochelle were exposed.

If Cyril's guess is correct, the Tallinn town they are in is the place where the task was done at the beginning, which is why he sees a trace of familiarity here but does not correspond to the map - this is a destroyed town in the game. In a small town, there is not much left of the city walls.And the pine forest that Caroline mentioned is a dead forest of curses in the game.

He clearly remembered the sense of despair faced by the undead Lich with ridiculously thick blood that appeared in the mission when players generally just got rid of the professional prefix of "apprentice" and were happily preparing to show their talents as a regular army.

Because he was one of the people who were beaten by the undead lich and fled in a hurry.

Regardless of the game's history, the way to be sure that the old man is not dead is also very simple.The first time he pulled out the sword, Cyril opened the attribute panel, and the motionless experience bar proved that the old man was not dead.

He recalled the mission. In the mission, the players came into contact with a dry black-robed corpse. After a cutscene was triggered, the players were chased and beaten violently by the lich that emerged from the black-robed corpse.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that the body in black robe that emerged from the lich is the dead body of the old man in front of him?
The cold wind howled through the church, and the window frame was blown against the window sill with a loud bang.The tense Cyril couldn't help but look up at the moment the voice sounded, but then he saw from the corner of his eye that the old man's corpse on the table twisted strangely.

He couldn't see the old man's face, and he didn't know if the face that had been covered with black blood before would show him a horrified smile, but he could clearly hear the sound of "click" coming from the old man's Adam's apple .

Immediately afterwards, the old man's fragile waist, which seemed to be broken at any time, suddenly arched back. After a crackling sound in the joints, the old man's body fell back onto the long table again.

There was silence in the church.The only thing that was silent was the whistling of the cold wind.Holding two weapons, one long and one short, Cyril slowly stepped back step by step.

"Ya..."

The girl at the door suddenly spoke at this moment, and the sudden sound made Cyril almost turn around and throw the dagger, but he finally managed to control his movements, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk, exit the church slowly, he is During the awakening stage, any movement may trigger his undead spell."

A lich will have huge mana from the moment of awakening, and in order to stabilize the spirit, the lich will vent that huge uncontrollable mana when it is born, whether it releases low-level or high-level spells is completely random.

There used to be a grand guild who obtained clues that the necromancer would be promoted to a lich, and wanted to organize a lich hunt.However, they went one step too late, and when they arrived, the Lich had already started to advance, and the random spell was...

Ripple of death.

Not very high-level, but a strategic-level spell with a large area and high damage to low-level biological units, and its strength depends entirely on the magnitude of mana.And the mana level of the Lich when it was promoted can be imagined, and the entire raiding group was wiped out directly.

Such a tragedy has awakened all subsequent players who want to launch a crusade against the Lich.

Since Cyril guessed that this was where the mission of [Dove Occupying Magpie's Nest] was located, he began to be wary of liches, an unstable factor. There were not a few liches who died under his hands. He had sufficient hunting and escape experience. .

But behind him, Caroline was uncharacteristically obedient and exclaimed:

"But Mr. Adrian, we can't retreat!" The girl's voice was full of tears.Cyril turned his head and wanted to curse, but saw the girl crouching by the door, allowing him to clearly see everything outside the door——

One after another, skinny bodies in the shape of bones were crowded at the gate of the yard. It was unknown which body fell to the ground, so that the latecomers stepped on it, fell down, and blocked the gate of the yard.

This seemingly ridiculous action made Cyril feel horrified, and only then did he realize what he had missed——

When the game mission was in progress, the place was in ruins, but there were still residents in Tallinn Town at this time!

It may have been regarded as a nutrient by this necromancer, constantly absorbing and draining the residents who have become servants of the magic power of the undead!
All plans are canceled at this moment.Cyril inserted the long sword back into his waist neatly, and rushed to Caroline's side in two or three steps. Without waiting for the latter's reaction, he directly carried her on his shoulders, and then his figure was as agile as a black panther running at night. , rushed to the low wall of the yard, and turned over.

"Mr Adrian!"

"Shut up." At this moment, Cyril didn't understand the girl's feelings at all, but just as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang from the church behind him.He subconsciously pulled the girl in front of him, and then rolled out. Countless sundries lifted by the air wave grazed his scalp and flew past, and the roar of the monster could be faintly heard.

He burrowed into the gap between the houses next to him, and the environment suddenly became dark.Hiding in this narrow space, Cyril first released Caroline, checked that there were no scratches on the girl's face, and then sat down on her buttocks.

"Caroline, next we have to find a way to leave this town. Is the pine forest you mentioned safe? If it won't become a cursed place, we will go through that pine forest..."

Cyril suddenly stopped speaking, and the girl in front of her was staring straight at her back, which was where her mouth was.He suddenly realized something, and was about to pull out the broken sword, when a strange and young female voice came from behind:

"You disturbed Sandro."

Cyril turned his head and saw a woman wearing a strange mask wrapped in a dark purple cloak, stepping into this narrow space step by step.

"Sandro?" Cyril was taken aback. He was no stranger to this name. He was the speaker of the famous undead force "Half Crescent Council" in the future, and his status was infinitely equivalent to the archbishop of the Primordial Sect of La Rochelle.

He was about to ask the woman a question, but he found that the latter was also staring at him. That mask could not cover up the eyes with spirit underneath, and they were even brighter in the dim light.

"Who are you? You seem to know a lot." She said, licked the corner of her mouth, and then reached out to grab Cyril's shoulder.

"I'm very interested in you."
