Chapter 305 Short Leisure and Mutation
The castle of the Northwind family was built under the great sword of the rock. Looking out from the window at the back of the castle, all you can see is a towering cliff, like a straight mountain.Such a large-scale miracle cannot be accomplished by manpower. It is said that the Sword Master of the North Wind personally inserted this sword here as his tombstone.However, El scoffed at this statement. Rather than saying it was a miracle, he preferred to believe that this thing was originally a mountain, and then it was cut into what it is now by the Sword Master of the North Wind.

The bottom of the giant sword can only be seen by looking down from the window of the castle. There is no tomb of the legendary sword master there, only a huge platform paved with white stones, about 100 meters away in length and width.I thought it was the place where the quasi-sword saint practiced martial arts on weekdays, but now there was no one there, and it looked very empty and quiet.

El was leaning on the wall with a teacup in his hand, looking at the white platform under his feet, he felt an urge to try. According to the introduction of the little maid Kiki, all the swordsmen trained by the lineage of the North Wind Sword Master have practiced here. It was also infected with an invisible coercion, which ordinary people couldn't even get close to.

Of course, El didn't think he was an ordinary person. Maybe he had such low self-esteem before, but after all, he had been a general for such a long time, and the long-term status of high position and weight would eventually affect his personal self-cognition.His previous dream was at best to be a small manor owner like Baron Farah, but now, Baron Farah is just an insignificant role in front of him.The higher a person stands, the farther he can see and the greater his ambition.

"What the hell is that prophet from the Brotherhood of Stoneworkers doing?"

On the opposite side of the balcony, Tiana put down her teacup, squinted her eyes and enjoyed the sunshine comfortably.The clutter of the exiles kept her from her desk for a moment, and it was almost impossible to relax as she did now.Because she always wears a veil, the girl's face is much fairer than before. Perhaps this is the goal pursued by those noble daughters, but El prefers to see her rosy face, health is the most natural beauty.

"It doesn't matter to me, anyway, I've always let it go, but is it okay to work on your side?"

"It doesn't matter, I have already contacted Laurana with the communication crystal just now, and she will temporarily take over my work." Tiana closed her eyes and changed into a more comfortable position, and said lazily: "The work in my hand It's nothing serious, to put it bluntly, it's nothing more than benefit coordination and number distribution, and with that fox's personality, it's likely to be fun."

"Ah, you said it! Is it really good to describe your secretary like that? I'll make a small report," El laughed.

"If you say she is a fox, that guy will just accept it with a smile." Tiana suddenly opened her eyes and looked at El with a serious face and said, "Do you think that the two of us are really redundant. If we If not, Mr. Ahmed and Laurana can also complete our current work, and it is definitely better than what we do."

"If it were someone else, I would say that there are some things that only you can do! But the fact is that what you said is indeed correct." El spread his hands and curled his lips and said helplessly: "We two Even if it’s not the people of Eastalen, even if we’re not around, the people of Eastalen can still survive tenaciously. So… why don’t we just elope.”

Tiana also knew that El was talking nonsense, so she didn't bother to refute.The reason why the two of them can get such leisure time is thanks to the current owner of Sword Castle.After hearing about the massacre of the little northern lord, Diana showed a considerable degree of shock, and then rushed out to find the prophet of the masonry brotherhood without saying a word, and forgot the two guests in the restaurant.

Although it is said that a strong person like her has the freedom of action, El and Tiana are not optimistic about her reckless behavior.If the prophet had been as cunning as they thought, he could have fooled Diana out of her wits in a few words.According to Tiana's estimation, this process should not exceed 3 minutes, so the two of them found a balcony with a good view, rested and waited for Miss Juggernaut to return.

"How do you think the Prophet Muhammad would explain it to Diana?" Al lay down for a while, and couldn't help asking again.

"The easiest thing to do is to bite back and throw the dirty water on us," Tiana said without thinking.

"But we have someone here to prove it."

"That kind of witness can be found as long as you buy it with money!"

"Those people don't look rich, do they?"

"Didn't you just make a big ticket?"

"That's true, but then again, what are they robbing for?"

This is also a temporarily unsolvable problem. From the perspective of El and Tiana, no amount of money is as important as food now. God knows to what extent this plague will break out, even if the food in the ground immediately The harvest is about to come, but the refugees may not be able to wait until then.So now the question arises, what is the use of the masonry fraternity asking for money?Can they buy food from sources unknown to others?Money is also meaningless to the dead people of the Damned Sect, and only the souls of the living can satisfy their appetites.

The masonry brotherhood hidden among the refugees is still full of fog so far. Without more information, El and Tiana can't do anything about it. All they can do now is lie in the sun and waste Tea and snacks in Sword Castle, chatting while waiting for news from Diana.

It's like two chess players playing chess. El's plundering of food is the first move, and the Masonry Brotherhood's taking advantage of the fire to loot is the response.Last night's probing was the second move on Eastalen's side.Since the situation is still unclear, El and Tiana are very cautious. They have no way of knowing what the prophet is doing, but no matter what, as long as the opponent makes a second move, the situation in front of them will be clearer, at least Let them find a general direction.

"Miss Diana has been away for half an hour, right?" El looked at the angle of the sunlight on the edge of the teacup, and couldn't help but said, "Even if the prophet made up nonsense, it should be finished by this time, right? "

Tiana opened her eyes, frowned, sat up and took out the communication crystal from her pocket.Just when El was talking, she suddenly felt the vibration of the communication crystal.Because this thing is not a magic item made by hand, it is inevitable that there will be various accidents, so unless necessary, she and Laurana will not use this method of communication casually.

Before she could hold the communication crystal firmly, Laurana's voice could not wait to be heard from the opposite side, and the merchant lady's tone sounded uncharacteristically serious: "Miss Ranstadt, you and El must come back as soon as possible to preside over the situation, Masonry fraternity……"

With a click, the communication crystal fell to the ground, the light in the crystal ball flickered a few times and then went out, and Laurana's voice also stopped abruptly.Tiana looked at her palm suspiciously, suddenly felt dizzy in her mind, couldn't help shaking her body to the side.

"What's the matter with you?" El rushed over quickly, supported the girl and put her on the chair, and then he also felt something was wrong, the power in his body seemed to be passing away silently, as if a small hole had been poked out. Like Kong's water bag, he didn't feel any changes at first, but when he tensed his muscles, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

"The tea...is poisonous." Tiana leaned weakly on the chair, opened her mouth tremblingly and whispered.

With a loud bang, the door of this reception room was kicked open, and heavily armed guards swarmed in from the door, surrounding the two of them.Then, a middle-aged noble man with a sword on his waist came in from outside.He held the hilt of the sword in his hand, carefully looked at the state of the two of El, and said loudly: "According to the order of the eldest lady, the evidence that you have colluded with the robbers and plotted wrongdoing has been confirmed, and now you must put down your weapons and accept supervision. Please don't Make pointless resistance."

El tilted his head to look at him, and asked curiously, "What is your identity, and what should you call me?"

The middle-aged noble man cleared his throat, and said with a blank expression: "This is the captain of the defense of the Beifeng family, the first-class honorary viscount Hua Laiyin Baroque, if you have heard my surname, you should know that my ancestor is The sword guard of the Beifeng family. I know that both of them are famous young heroes in Istaron, but it is better not to show off your cleverness in front of me. If the two can cooperate, I will arrange for the two of them to meet their identities treatment..."

"I've never heard of a sword guard." El impatiently interrupted the middle-aged nobleman's eloquent speech, looked at him with a sarcasm and smiled: "Although everyone understands what's going on , but at least we should make up the reason a little bit more reasonably? If that young lady really has the intention, she can solve the problem with a sword. And you are talking so much nonsense here, you just want to wait for the poison to fully take effect before you strike. "

"Since the two of you are unwilling to cooperate, I can only express regret." Hearing what El said, the corners of Hua Lain's eyes twitched, and he snorted coldly and said to the guards beside him: "Catch them, if they resist Ground to kill!"

"You may have made a mistake. If that lady were here, we wouldn't even dare to fart." El shrugged and smiled disdainfully: "But it doesn't mean that we will I'm afraid of a trash like you who dare not even draw a sword."

"Go! Kill them!" Hua Lain yelled with a livid face, and the guards around the room immediately drew out their long swords, and stabbed at El's body very fiercely.

The light that the naked eye could not see directly exploded in the room, followed by the sound of wailing from all around.The guards closed their eyes subconsciously because of the sudden light, but at this moment, the small marbles scattered on the ground exploded with sharp spikes in the shape of snowflakes, and the huge phantom thorns with a radius of more than [-] centimeters smashed the entire The room became a slaughterhouse.

El held Tiana in his arms, kicked over the guard blocking the way, ran to the edge of the balcony in two steps and jumped off without hesitation.
