Heart of the Castle

Chapter 284 Goodbye Trien, Threatened Conditions

The silver-white sword light swirled with Li Wei's sudden turn, and the thin figure of the shadow assassin twisted and collapsed under the light of the sword, but the feeling from the sword edge was faint, not like cutting real bones and flesh , rather like the touch of sliding through the water.

"A childish trap, but if I was negligent just now, I will die by your sword." The voice of the shadow assassin sounded like a whisper from a place that the light could not reach, and it was difficult to judge the exact position. . "Young knight, let's keep your head around your neck for a while. My name is Alans Kate. Remember this name, because it will become..."

The last voice had gone so far that it was almost inaudible, but Li Wei could clearly hear what the Shadow Assassin wanted to say, "...the nightmare you never want to hear."

Li Wei shook off the black piece of cloth hanging from the sword, and glanced at the darkness at the end of the corridor.In the field of vision of the probing technique, the blood-red spot of light is rapidly fading away without any hesitation.The corner of the young knight's mouth moved slightly, and a chill rose in his heart.

Without keen intuition and probing skills, no one would be able to spot the traces of this terrifying assassin before he made a move.And if it was discovered after the assassin took action, it would be too late.

It can be said that except for Li Wei, everyone present, including powerful knights like Lord Cedric and Wilps who have mastered the fighting spirit, are not sure that they can escape the assassination of those two daggers.What's even more frightening is that assassin's determination not to love fighting. Although his two skills of shadow hiding and shadow clone are very terrifying, if the battle lasts for a long time, he can always find a way to deal with it.However, the assassin chose to get away before revealing his flaws, making those two daggers a shadow sword hanging in everyone's heart.

Some weapons are inherently more threatening when hidden in their sheaths, and the Shadow Assassin is undoubtedly the best of them.

Seeing Li Wei lowering his long sword, and the vindictive light on his body gradually disappearing, Lord Cedric's dignified expression relaxed a little. "Master Li Wei," he said, "has the shadow assassin left?"

"It's not around anymore, and it shouldn't appear again today." Li Wei nodded and replied seeing that the light spot representing the shadow assassin had disappeared from the edge of his vision.

Knight Dickway also breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the only victim who fell under the Shadow Assassin's hands, curled his lips and said, "I don't think that Shadow Assassin is anything special, he didn't hurt anyone except a coward. one person."

"I really want those who died at the hands of the Shadow Assassin to hear this." Lord Cedric's eyes jumped, "The Shadow Assassin is the sharpest dagger in the demon army. Probably more famous knights died under the pair of poisoned daggers of the Shadow Assassin than on the frontal battlefield. Even among the blood knights of His Majesty Arthur I, some died at the hands of the Shadow Assassin."

"How is that possible?" Knight Dickway's expression stiffened, "The blood knights of His Majesty Arthur I, aren't they all heavenly knights who have reached the level of fighting spirit sanctification?"

"That's just a legend. There are not enough sky knights in the kingdom to fill King Arthur's round table." The old knight of the Sherwood family explained: "However, the blood knights of His Majesty Arthur I are at least at the level of the earl with a sword. That's true. The two blood knights who were assassinated by the shadow assassins were the weaker two of them."

Even the weaker blood knights are genuine sword-wielding earls. Li Wei couldn't help but click his tongue, but he also put forward different opinions. "I have seen the lord of Dirk City, the sword dancer Earl Ansair, make a move. The shadow assassin just now may be able to use his ability to cause a little trouble for the Earl, but if it is said that he can assassinate the sword dancer, there should be no possible."

"Shadow Assassins never fight head-on, they will choose the best time to do it." Lord Cedric said: "If Lord Levi hadn't spotted the assassin just now and took the initiative to attack, he would lurk until What he thinks is the best time." When he said this, Lord Cedric couldn't help looking into Levi's eyes, and then asked in a low voice: "Master Levi, what method did you use just now to find out in advance? The hiding place of the shadow assassin?"

"That's based on intuition, and... a special ability." Li Wei replied vaguely.This answer obviously did not satisfy Lord Cedric, but the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory thought about it for a while, and instead of asking further, he changed the subject with a sigh.

"The Shadow Assassin and the Death Slayer both appear here. It seems that there seems to be some tacit understanding between the undead and the demon that we don't know about."

"Your Majesty is right. If the undead and the demons join forces and let such a guy hide in the shadow behind us when we face the death knight, it will be a real fatal blow." Wilps interjected Said: "Now we'd better act now, otherwise we won't be able to deal with those death knights with all our energy when the shadow assassin comes back from stealth."

Wilps' words made sense, and of course everyone agreed. Soon the knights rearranged their formation and marched along the silent corridor, lighting all the torches along the way.

There were no obstacles along the way, except for the lying corpses of servants and servants. These people were obviously killed suddenly, because all the servants and some servants were wearing weapons, but only a few of them had time to take them. Although they resisted The result is no different with or without.

Judging from the posture of these people on the ground and the degree of blood coagulation, those black armored knights carried out this massacre when they left the main building. If it wasn't for the complete defeat of the Green Castle, they might have been able to hide it for a long time.

The accompanying knights checked every corpse, but no one was as lucky as Koba, and all of them were already frozen.Not all of these people were men, and there were a few maids and children among them, but for the death knights, the results were no different.

With hatred and anger against the undead monsters, the knights quickened their pace, and soon saw the carved wooden door at the end of the corridor. The green castle emblem on it was chopped to pieces with a sword, and a rather rough toothy one was re-engraved beside it. And laughing skeletons.

"The mark of the dead man." Although Li Wei had already mentioned that there should be a dead man hidden in the castle, when they actually saw the mark of the skeleton, several knights still exclaimed in unison.

Lord Cedric looked at those who exclaimed with some annoyance, "Thank you for pointing out this obvious fact." Eliminate the dead, and help Lord Li Wei rescue those people."

"Where does this door lead to?" Willpus asked.

"Behind this is Sir Lidwan's living room, which is sometimes used as a place for him to hold military meetings." Knight Copman said, "If it can accommodate more than a dozen people hiding, the room in the main building of the Green Castle Only here is roomy enough.”

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's break this door open!" Knight Dickway suggested loudly, but as his words echoed in the corridor, the carved wooden door suddenly creaked and opened by itself.Then a man's voice sounded from the darkness behind the door. This voice sounded very sweet and weird, which made Li Wei feel a little familiar.

"Your honorable lords, please open the door, please come in." The voice said, "But there should not be too many people, because the inside is very narrow, and all your lords are holding knives and guns, and accidentally injured a few people." I'm so sorry."

"Trian! It's you!" Li Wei blurted out a little surprise and anger.

"Oh, the voice of the person speaking outside is very young. Could it be Lord Levi Ston? What a pity, it seems that the tricks of my allies have not succeeded in preventing your safe return." Trien's voice heard It looks very calm, but there is a trace of imperceptible cruelty inside.

"It seems that what happened this time was all a conspiracy planned by you." Wilps said coldly, and the long sword was pulled out of the scabbard with a clang. "Lord Levi, Lord Cedric, let's not talk nonsense with this cunning guy, maybe he wants to delay time."

"This is Lord Wilps, right? He still has the fiery and impatient character of a young man." There was an arrogant smile in Trion's voice, "Then, sirs, please come in, let's meet face to face Let’s talk and see if there is a good way to solve the problem.”

"That good way is to kill you!" Knight Dickway replied loudly, drawing his sword and trying to charge in, but Li Wei stretched out a hand to stop him.

"Don't be impulsive, Miss Lisa and the special envoy of the kingdom are in his hands."

This explanation made Dickway shut his mouth, and Levi and Lord Cedric exchanged a glance, and then the latter rose with a white grudge, blocked his body with a battle ax, and strode into the darkness behind the door.Li Wei and Wilps followed closely behind, both ready to deal with the enemy's surprise attack in the dark.

However, what made them a little strange was that the expected surprise attack still didn't come when the knights behind filed in and the torches held high illuminated the entire hall.Those death knights in gray-black armor gathered on the opposite side of the room, their pitch-black long swords resting on the ground, their eyes burning green will-o'-the-wisps were cold and ruthless, making even the less courageous dare not confront them See.

Trion stood behind those death knights. He still looked like the tall blood-sucking prince, wearing a chain mail made of unknown purple metal, on which countless ancient swords were inlaid with obsidian powder. Evil dark rune.A scarlet half-cloak hung from his right shoulder, fastened with an obsidian brooch in the shape of a flying bat.

Trien bowed deeply pretending to be humble, his head was lowered under his belt. "I bow to all of you. I welcome you all. I welcome you wholeheartedly." There was an almost sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you sirs for your kindness, it has added luster to the humble house, please feel as if you have come to your own home ,you're welcome"

"The Green Castle has always belonged to Sir Ridwan. When did it become your humble abode?" Levi asked bluntly.

"Of course there is an agreement. Sir Ridwan appointed me as his successor. Now that Sir Sir's soul has returned to the Kingdom of Eternal Night, I will naturally become the real master of the Green Castle." Trion said, On the one hand, he took out a document from his side and showed it to Li Wei and others. His shamelessness angered many knights. Although they couldn't find anything to refute him for a while, they all gritted their teeth and shook the long sword in their hands, replacing words with actions .

"Sir Lydvan was controlled by the evil undead magic, so he signed this document, so it has no legal effect." Lord Cedric said loudly, while pointing the battle ax in his hand at Trion's head.

"No, no, no, this document has absolute validity, because it was not only signed by Sir Lidwan, but also two distinguished adults signed their names on it, witnessing the validity of this document .” Trien slid his finger on the document, and quickly pointed out a slender cursive signature and a thick black signature to everyone.

Wilps scanned the document with sharp eyes, leaned close to Levi's ear, and said softly: "The slender signature is Miss Lisa's, I can recognize it; as for the other one, it looks very strange. , but the font is smooth and has the style of the capital, it is likely to be written by the envoy of the kingdom."

Li Wei took a deep breath, and it seemed that what he was most worried about had happened.Both Miss Lisa and the Kingdom Envoy are now in the hands of Trien.It can be said that this incident itself was completely planned by the deceased, and Sir Ridwan was just one of the victims.

"Is this what you said, the weight to have a good talk with us?" Li Wei suppressed anger in his voice.

"That's right, this is the weight in my hands. Lord Levi Ston, your achievements are obvious to all, but they are limited to the small area of ​​the Viscount Land. Even your neighbors may not necessarily know what you have done. What kind of thing." Trion glanced at the knights of the lord's coalition army with malicious mockery, "otherwise they wouldn't have received a letter from Sir Lidwan, and they would have rushed over."

A blush flashed across Lord Cedric's face, and the Northern Commander snorted heavily, interrupting Trion's words.

"Wicked accusers, don't fiddle with your honeyed and poisoned tongue anymore, save your time and beg forgiveness from the Sleeper, nothing can stop your demise now!"

Trion answered him with a series of conceited laughs, "You want me to perish? Dear Lord Cedric, I promise it's not that easy, you should read this first!" The accuser said and slapped his hands , those death knights immediately stepped aside, revealing what had been hidden behind them.

Those were two black lacquered coffins like crows, their shapes were quite different from those usually used, and shocking runes were painted on them with red paint.Lord Cedric frowned and was still thinking, and Wilps, who had traveled around the kingdoms of mankind, had already yelled sharply.

"Vampire's coffin! Trion, what did you put in it?"

"There is nothing. A coffin contains a poor girl who lost her dear uncle and was disinherited by her uncle's subordinates; there is also a coffin containing a traveler from the capital of Fermeyer, Or maybe he has some important mission?" The smile on the corner of Trien's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and finally he covered his face and let out a sharp laugh like a ghost crying.

"Miss Lisa and the Kingdom Envoy are inside? Trien, what do you want to do?" Li Wei's voice became sharper, and the long sword in his hand was ignited with a silver-white fighting spirit at the same time.

"Oh, Lord Levi Ston, don't threaten poor old Trien." Trien took a step back exaggeratedly, then spread his hands and said, "I don't want anything, I just want you to promise me something." Conditions, and then have a glass of wine."

"One condition, a glass of wine?" Li Wei asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's just a glass of wine, a strong and mellow wine." Trien clapped his hands lightly, a black armored knight turned and left, and came back after a few breaths, with a small oak barrels.

"It's this barrel of wine." Trien took the barrel and poked the top with his finger. A hole was poked out of the solid oak cover, and a strong grape aroma radiated out. "Smelling this fragrance, isn't it charming? What a pity, Lord Cedric, if you just joined forces with Sir Lidwan and wiped out Levi and others desperately, this barrel of wine was originally intended to let you to share."

"I don't want to drink with an undead monster, not even the finest nectar." Lord Cedric said coldly.

Trion was unmoved, looked at Levi with a smile and said: "How about it, Levi? Master Ston, my condition is very simple, that is, you recognize my ownership of the Green Castle, and use the god you believe in Swear in the name of the only one, and then drink this glass of wine to declare the oath."

A black-armored knight held out two crystal wine glasses. Trien lifted the heavy oak barrel easily with one hand, as if holding a straw, and poured the clear blood red wine in the barrel into the glasses.Then he himself picked up a wine glass and put it under his nose to breathe in the intoxicating aroma.

"As long as you do this, I will let you leave with Miss Lisa and the Kingdom envoy. Sounds simple, doesn't it?" Trien smiled strangely and made a "please use" gesture.The black-armored knight held the remaining glass of wine steadily and walked towards Li Wei.

Li Wei was silent and did not make a choice immediately.

Trion turned the wine glass, causing the liquid to swirl into a small vortex, "It's a waste of money if you drink such a good wine without waking up. But Mr. Li Wei, the time left for you is not enough." It’s very generous, just as Master Wilps said just now, those two coffins are called vampire coffins, if you want to procrastinate, the only thing you can take away at that time is two vampire derivatives!”
