Heart of the Castle

Chapter 208 North Orla Guards
Since the bard sat on the opposite side of the table, if those guys with fierce faces wanted to touch his fingers and tongue, they would have to walk past Li Wei and others.After hearing the cold announcement made by the big man in charge, Li Wei showed a disgusted expression, shrugged his shoulders, and was about to stand up from his seat.

Wilps put his hand on the young man's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Master, don't be impulsive, those people are the Earl of the Magic Mountain's subordinates."

Li Wei followed the gaze of the Grand Knight Commander, and found the triangular family crest embroidered with black silk thread on the cloaks of those people.Even Li Wei, who has a little contact with heraldry, knows very well that there is no more ugly and unbelievable family crest than the black triangle of the Magic Mountain family.

The young knight hesitated.

The ditty played by the bard didn’t sound like much, but the retainers of the Earl of the Magic Mountain walked over with livid faces, as if they were drinking spoiled ale. Could it be that the ditty just now really damaged Has the reputation of the Lord of the Mountain been ruined?Duels over the lord's reputation were not uncommon, but most of them were between knights, and cutting off someone's tongue or finger just because of a poem that didn't sound offensive was a bit too much.

Li Wei's hesitation didn't last long, maybe it was because he was dissatisfied with him listening to the little tune, or maybe it was because he happened to be in the way of those people. In short, when the leader of the big man walked over, he suddenly pointed the hilt of his sword at Li Wei. His head was gouged off, and at the same time, a ferocious roar came out of his mouth.

"Little devil, get the hell out of here... ah!"

As soon as the leader's roar was out of his mouth, it turned into a scream of pain.Li Wei tilted his head to avoid the hilt of the sword, and at the same time, his fist flashed with fighting spirit, and hit the big man's armpit hard.

This big man's attack was extremely vicious, and a fierce blow from the hard hilt could even split a person's skull.That's why Li Wei didn't hold back the slightest bit when he counterattacked. His fist that shone with silvery white light directly smashed the gray-blue chain armor of the big man, followed by a terrible fracture sound.

The big man's shoulders suddenly bulged, and his entire arm was twisted into a weird angle. The long sword came loose from his weakened five fingers, and a series of crisp sounds were made on the ground.

In the next instant, shouts of fright and the sound of a sword being unsheathed resounded in the lobby of the hotel.The Earl of the Magic Mountain's retainers formed a semicircular circle, approaching Li Wei and the others step by step, and the chain armor made a rattling sound with every step they took.

Li Wei and Wilpus stood up together, standing by their swords, and the strong red and silver-white grudge rays complemented each other, which immediately made those members of the Magic Mountain family hesitate.They thought they were dealing with just a bard playing tricks, but they didn't expect that their opponents turned into two high-ranking knights with fighting spirit.The two helped up the moaning leader, and the limply hanging arm made the rest of the people feel palpitations.

"Young knights, against our Magic Mountain family, do you know how big a mistake you have made?" One of the gray-blue cloaks gritted his teeth and threatened, "If you get out of the way now and take off your hood to apologize , the Magic Mountain family can consider forgiving your offense..."

With a flash of red light, the member of the Magic Mountain family felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, and he staggered back dizzily.Then the helmet on his head snapped in two and fell, but the skin underneath was unharmed.

"If you show some respect to my young master, how great is the Magic Mountain family?" Wilps said in a very different and arrogant tone than usual, the long sword in his hand was flickering like a poisonous snake. shrink.

This high-spirited answer made the retainers of the Demon Mountain family even more hesitant. These people are actually members of a branch of the Demon Mountain family. Except for the big man who was defeated, only two people barely comprehended the seeds of fighting qi. .If there is no way to overwhelm the opponent with their status, they really don't know how to deal with the two high-level knights.

"Everyone put away their weapons, stand still!" There was a sudden roar from outside the hotel door, and then the wooden door was slammed open, and the iron combat boots clanged on the floor.

Li Wei looked up, beyond the bodies of the retainers of the Magic Mountain family, and found that a group of heavily armed warriors had surrounded the hall, and there was a thick and burly man standing under the door arch, wearing gray sheet metal. Not to mention the armor, he was also holding an extraordinarily huge square tower shield in his hand, standing there with his feet spread apart, almost like a giant steel tower that could move.On the head of the big man was a cylindrical helmet like an iron barrel, and there was a metal mask with only a small eye hole on it. Now the mask was opened, revealing a dark face with a short beard.

"I am the captain of the North Orla Guards—Els Tiger." The big man said with a voice like thunder: "All put down your swords, bloody brawls are absolutely forbidden here."

Li Wei could clearly hear the relaxed gasps of the gray-blue cloaks who were confronting them, but the reputation of the Demon Mountain family for always being domineering made those people think that they could use a tough attitude to get better results, so one of the Demon Mountain family The man turned around and walked a few steps forward, pointing his sword at the captain's chest and said: "We are the retainers of His Excellency the Earl of the Magic Mountain. These people dare to offend the majesty of the Black Triangle family crest. I ask you to arrest them immediately!"

"The Black Triangle family crest has always been unpopular in North Orla, and there are at least a dozen bloody conflicts and brawls related to you." Captain Els replied stiffly.

This unexpected reply made the man from the Devil Mountain family raise his eyes angrily, "You are angering the Devil Mountain family!" He dangled his long sword in front of Captain Els, "I promise you You will regret doing this later..."

"Come on!"

The gray shadow flickered for a moment, and the man from the Magic Mountain family suddenly closed his mouth, and then fell backwards straight like a log.One of his companions hurriedly supported his body with his hands, but immediately let out a surprised cry.

The front of the man's helmet was completely deflated, and obviously the lower head inevitably lost its original shape, and red and white viscous liquid was flowing down from all around, which looked very terrifying.

"I promise you won't regret it, never." Captain Els muttered, and then wiped the blood and brains splashed on the tower shield with his hands.

A rustling sound came from behind Li Wei, the young knight turned his head slightly, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found that the devout Babrupa was trying to tuck his body under the table, It's a pity that he ate too much just now, and a piece of his bulging stomach was exposed outside.

When Li Wei was distracted, Captain Els sternly yelled at the people of the Magic Mountain family, telling them to put away their long swords, then lifted up the corpse of their companion, and walked out of the lobby of the hotel in desperation.When the wooden door was closed, there was a burst of laughter and mocking in the hall.

"Captain Ayers, well done!" said a man with the appearance of a petty bourgeois, waving a red hat.

"These crazy guys should have been taught a lesson long ago." The fat innkeeper also smacked his lips. "Captain Els, would you like to have a glass of old Tom's ale after duty? My treat."

"Thank you, I'll definitely come." Captain Els licked his thick lips with some covetousness, as if recalling the mellow taste of ale, but then he put on a stern expression again and walked towards Li Wei and the others come over.

"Babrupa Simon, on the orders of Archbishop Felheim of the Temple of Storms, I arrest you on suspicion of counterfeiting holy relics, blasphemy and fraud..." Then he glanced at Levi and Wilps, Say it in one word.

"...and your companions."
