Heart of the Castle

Chapter 351 A Victory Not Worth Celebrating

When Wilps, Donner and others found Li Wei on the rooftop, the young lord sat silently in the gray-black muddy snow, holding a very crude-looking two-handed giant sword in his hand, the whole The body remained motionless, as if carved from ice.

"Lord of Glory, Your Excellency Li Wei is here!" Will Puss said loudly, "Are you injured? What happened just now?" He walked up to Li Wei while asking, but Li Wei Still sitting there dumbly, without even a little reaction.

"Blood of my blood, I'm Tang Na, what's wrong with you?" Tang Na called out through the seal of the Blood Alliance, but what came back from his mind was a dead silence, as if Li Wei's heart had been tightly closed, unable to reveal a glimmer of light.

At this time, other knights also rushed to the rooftop. Everyone called Li Wei's name, pulled his arm, and tried to wake him up, but it didn't work.Li Wei's body was as stiff as a rock, and his expression was even better. His indifferent eyes looked forward without focus, making everyone who looked into these eyes feel cold in their hearts.

In the end, they found Master Sugad, an old scholar in red robes, and His Excellency Beria, the deputy archbishop of the Temple of the Earth. The two well-informed old men were a little confused at first—Belia even released a healing spell , Of course, it didn't work - but soon they suddenly realized.

"Your Excellency Li Wei has been mentally stimulated, and he is a little delirious." Master Sujiad said.

"It takes time for him to settle. This kind of scar cannot be healed by magic and other abilities." Deputy Archbishop Beria added.

Several Greencastle guards got a stretcher from below and carried Li Wei down the rooftop.This job was not easy, because Li Wei's body was as heavy as a stone statue, and the two-handed giant sword he held in his hand was really heavy.A guard tried to take the giant sword away from Li Wei's hand, but Li Wei moved suddenly. If Wilps hadn't blocked the sword in time, the guard almost lost an arm.

Everyone carried Li Wei to his bedroom, and then lit a glowing charcoal fire in the fireplace. Master Sugard prepared a dose of calming potion, and Li Wei drank it numbly.This was also his last memory, because not long after drinking the potion, he fell into a deep sleep on the bed, frowning from time to time and moaning.

"How is your Excellency Li Wei?" After leaving the room, Wilpus asked Master Sugard in a low voice: "What happened on the roof? The three knights fainted on the ground and have not yet recovered. The traces of the battle are very Intense, a lot of snow has melted, re-frozen into ice with a foul color; and that two-handed giant sword, I have never seen such an ugly, yet so sharp weapon." While talking, Wilps smiled wryly and showed everyone the long sword. The knight sword carefully forged by the master dwarf blacksmith was cold, but there was a deep crack on it, which almost split the long sword from the middle. into two sections.

"Your Excellency Li Wei's knight sword is very sharp." Donna reminded him.

"However, His Excellency Li Wei didn't use fighting energy just now, and I used fighting energy to protect this sword." Wilps looked at the saber in his hand with some regret and said, "This sword is completely useless now, it can only be used to protect the sword." Send it back for recasting."

"It's not surprising, Master Wilpus." Master Sugard interrupted suddenly, "The giant sword that Li Wei is holding on to now is made of star iron. I have seen it in the Scholars Association before. This is a godsend." The old red-robed scholar's voice became serious, "But even the Scholars Association only has a star iron ingot the size of a fist. This sword is all made of star iron, and its value is inestimable. .”

"Compared to the immeasurably valuable Star Iron Sword, I am more worried about His Excellency Li Wei's body. Although I haven't witnessed it with my own eyes, judging from the battle marks left on the roof, His Excellency Li Wei must have gone through a hard battle. Then I stayed in the ice and snow for such a long time..." His Excellency Vice Archbishop Beria shook his head, and then heaved a long sigh.

"Who did Your Excellency Li Wei fight with?" Tang Na frowned. "Is that sword left by that enemy?"

No one can answer his question for sure, only Li Weineng, but he is sleeping again.

After some discussion, Wilps and Donner discussed to strengthen the security outside Levi's bedroom. Not only would the guards in the corridor be strengthened from a group of two to a group of four, but one of them would definitely Hold the weapon and stand outside until Li Wei wakes up.

In their imagination, a deep sleep is the best medicine for mental recovery. His Excellency Li Wei may be able to recover from this trance when he wakes up tomorrow morning.However, what they didn't know was that after drinking the tranquilizing potion, Li Wei, who should have been sleeping all the time, opened his eyes just after they left.

The judgments of Master Sugard and Deputy Archbishop Beria were not accurate. In fact, Li Wei has always been sober.It wasn't that he was delirious because he was heartbroken, and he couldn't recognize Wilps and Downer. On the contrary, Levi could hear everyone's calls and clearly recognize their faces.It's just that everyone and everything are strangers to Li Wei now, and they can't arouse his interest at all.

The death knights who invaded on the night of the blizzard were all destroyed under Yan's crush, and even their leader died on the rooftop. However, for Li Wei, it was a victory that was not worth celebrating at all.

As long as Li Wei closes his eyes, he can see the smiling face of Knight Ston melting in the hissing mist. The skin, muscles, and bones are like ice and snow placed in the stove, melting into a piece after a few heartbeats. An unrecognizable phantom.This face lingered in Li Wei's heart for a long time, smiling at times, ferocious at times, and repeated again and again. The young lord needed to control himself as much as possible to prevent tears from pouring out of his eyes.

He originally thought that he would mourn alone in the dark for a long time, but not long after, Mr. Dish's slightly tired voice sounded in his ears.

"Li Wei, that lich has been killed, but it's a pity that a lot of faith in the heart of the castle has been consumed."

"Thank you... Mister Dish." Li Wei groaned and put his hands on his chest, which seemed to be in pain, and there was even an illusion that the evil spell cast by the Lich was still vaguely present. "I don't think there is any pity!" His voice calmed down, "Even if the price is to pay all the power of the Castle Heart, I will never forgive what the Lich did to Sir Ston Knight, and I will not forgive you. There are those same vile accusers."

The anger contained in Li Wei's voice was so clear and warm that Mr. Dish was silent for a moment, and then he laughed out loud, "There used to be a saying in my hometown, don't touch the untouchable boundary, otherwise you will die." Will awaken the Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon. It seems unfortunate indeed for the deceased that they have...awakened the Sleeping Dragon."
