Compared with the Quartet Territory, the Black Stone Territory located in the middle has a more advantageous geographical location.
The area of cultivated land accounts for [-]% of the territory. There is a small iron vein and a small dense forest, which can be regarded as a combination of the advantages of other territories. More importantly, there is a side called "Star Lake" in the middle of the Blackstone Territory, which is not far from the lord's mansion. " of the inland lake.
The water of this lake is extremely clear. Every night, under the light of the stars, it shines like gems inlaid on the earth, hence the name.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Xinghu can produce a very small amount of low-purity magic crystals during the annual "Plenty of Soil Festival", which is the second Sunday in September.
This thing is a good thing, even if it is only low-purity, but these magic crystals alone are enough to support the consumption of such a large territory.
After listening to Reid's story, Roy finally understood why the "false news" released by the people behind the scenes on the black market was that he possessed a high-purity magic crystal.
Blackstone collar has a star lake that can produce low-purity magic crystals, and Roy, the son of Lord Blackstone collar, may have inherited the high-purity magic crystals that may have been produced from the star lake that have been passed down from his father.
Although Xinghu has never produced high-purity magic crystals, who can guarantee that it will not produce it?
Such well-documented rumors are easier to win people's trust than groundless guesses.
Comparing the five territories comprehensively, the geographical environment, resource output and other conditions of the Blackstone Territory are more than one grade better than the surrounding four territories. It can make the Duke of the Frontier give up his love so much.
And it's no wonder that a territory with such superior conditions is coveted.
When the Lord of the Blackstone Territory was still around, nothing happened. After all, the strength of the Lord of the Blackstone Territory was unique among the lords of the five major territories, and no one dared to provoke him.
But now, as long as Lord Blackstone is gone, the fangs in the darkness will follow.
Perhaps, the people behind the scenes were just tentative at first.
From luring the witch to the Blackstone Territory, to using the "cursed puppet" on the lord's son Roy, and even the visit of the God's Punishment Knight from the temple, they are all temptations.
To test whether Lord Blackstone Collar is really missing.
And until Roy was really detained and taken away by the God's Punishment Knight, the people behind the scenes had already confirmed with great certainty that Lord Blackstone Collar was really missing.
After confirming this point, it must be not far from the real action of the people behind the scenes.
After all, no matter how you plan, as long as the ultimate beneficiary can be determined, then even if this person is not the person behind the scenes, he must have a great relationship with him!
A series of thoughts flashed through Roy's mind.
"call……"
With a sigh of relief, he let Red leave first.
Knowing the specific situation of the four territories near the Blackstone Territory does not directly help the current situation.
The lords of these four territories, like Lord Blackstone, were awarded the territory in the imperial war more than ten years ago. From the perspective of interests, they all have motives to act.
However, unlike Lord Blackstone, although the lords of these four territories responded to the call of the border duke, they only let their servant knights lead the knight team to the border instead of going there in person.
This is also a common method used by lords who are content with the status quo, and there is nothing to criticize.
But in this way, if you want to find out the true identity of the person behind the scenes, you can only continue to wait.
In short, the strength of the territory has weakened.
If Roy had the strength of the old Lord Silver Knight, the people behind the scenes would not have the courage to act.
Under the light of the crimson moon, Roy lay cross-legged on the bed and began to practice breathing.
The energy he absorbed from the witch was nourishing his body little by little, and under the effect of breathing, it was transformed into wisps of battle energy.
Time is on his side, the longer it drags on, the better for him.
What's more, now he hides in the dark with the help of Lamy. It is still unknown who is the prey and who is the hunter.
……
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
Along the official road [-] kilometers north of the lord's mansion of the Black Stone Lord, the prison cart guarded by two God's Punishment Knights also started a new day's journey.
Two tall horses dragged the closed cage forward, and a hired groom drove the car.On both sides of the prison cart were Lamy riding a war horse and his attendant knight Al.
The two looked solemn and cold, and their eyes scanned the surroundings. Once anyone dared to approach, they would be spotted and blocked immediately.
"Grumbling..."
The sound of the wheels turning was heard far away, and other carriages that were also traveling along the official road along the way, saw the flag on the prison carriage representing the God's Punishment Knight from a distance, and chose to avoid it.
The team moved forward all the way until noon, without encountering any twists and turns.
Under the shade of a big tree next to the official road, the team of prison cars chose to stop here to take a rest.
Although the season has come to late autumn, and there is only one week left before the "Plenty Soil Festival", the sun at noon is still scorching hot, and even the harvest farmers will not choose to harvest at this time.
After simply eating dry food, the coachman found a big tree and leaned against it for a rest, while the two God's Punishment Knights, Lamy, sat cross-legged beside the prison car and practiced breathing techniques, while Al stood guard and patrolled, vigilant around.
Everything is calm.
……
A few kilometers away from the prison van, there is a very ordinary tree.
A small sparrow flapped its wings from a distance and was about to land on the bird's nest in the branch of the big tree, but suddenly froze when it came within three meters of the big tree, as if it was being polluted by some kind of pollution. Energy eroded, he lost control of his body, and fell straight down.
A sickly pale hand stretched out from the crown of the tree, caught the fallen sparrow, and then gently tossed it, sending it out gently.
After leaving the three-meter range of the big tree, the little sparrow recovered quickly. Its small black eyes were full of panic, and it hurriedly fled away.
Ignoring the little sparrow, in the shadow of the canopy, a slender figure faced the direction of the prison car.
The shade of the trees covered her face, making it difficult to see clearly.
Compared with late at night, in the hot afternoon, the human body will be more tired, difficult to concentrate, and less vigilant.
And this time is the best time to sneak attack.
Chapter 19 Attack and Kill
Under the scorching sun, even the birds had to find a shady place to take shelter temporarily.
For an hour in the afternoon, as the food was continuously digested in the intestines and stomach, the body was tired and catalyzed by the high temperature, even the Bronze Knight Al's spirit and vigilance inevitably dropped a little.
"rustle……"
At this time, a gust of wind blew by, shaking the branches and leaves, and the shade on the ground also fluctuated slightly.
This extremely normal scene happened too many times during this period of rest, and it didn't attract Al's attention at all.
Under the prison car, the shadow twisted slightly, trying to flow towards the prison car.
Suddenly, a cross on the neck of Lamy, who was sitting cross-legged beside the prison car, emitted a faint golden light. The light diffused, reflecting a semi-illusory figure.
"Chong!"
The sharp sound of the knight's sword being unsheathed sounded, and the blade was covered with solid silver-white energy.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the silvery white and pitch black collided violently, and the leaves of the surrounding trees scattered in all directions.
Beside the prison car, Lamy, who had already got up, stuck the knight sword into the ground. He rested on the hilt of the sword with both hands, staring at the semi-illusory figure in the shadow more than 30 meters away.
"Witch."
Doubt and thought flashed across Lamy's eyes under the bright silver helmet.
After contacting Roy yesterday, he was convinced that Roy had never been in contact with the witch during this period of time, and the so-called collusion with the witch was simply a matter of "fabricating and framing".
Ordinary people and even ordinary knights can't detect the tainted magical aura on the witch, but how can the temple that has dealt with the witch for hundreds of years not have detection methods?
God's Punishment Knight is a violent institution for chasing and capturing witches in the temple, so it naturally has this special method, and as the captain of God's Punishment Knight, Lamy is even more proficient in this way.
He was sure that Roy didn't have any residual breath of polluting magic power on him.
How could such a person who had never had contact with a serving witch in his own territory collude with a wandering witch?
But now, there unexpectedly appeared a witch trying to sneak into the prison car where "Roy" was held?
It seems that the person behind the scenes who took action against the leader of the black stone is the one who really colluded with the witch...
Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Lamy's eyes.
Thirty meters away, a semi-illusory slender figure in the shadow stared at the knight beside the prison car, and a look of shock flashed in his heart.
Silver three-star knight?
No, it's not just that simple, the fighting spirit of the knight in front of him has already surpassed that of a three-star silver knight in the general sense!
He is a silver peak knight who is only one step away from the golden knight!
How could a God's Punishment Knight of this strength appear in such a remote territory and personally escort an "unknown" lord's son?
The witch in the shadows couldn't figure it out.
But there is no extra time for her to think, because Lamy on the opposite side has launched an offensive again.
……
Black Stone Collar, the lord's mansion.
Roy, who was practicing the breathing method, was awakened by the slight knock on the door and the follow-up Red called "Master Roy".
"call……"
He let out a deep breath, feeling that his body was filled with a lot of vindictive energy, which now has 386 traces, and his physique has become stronger. He nodded in satisfaction, then got up and opened the door to let Reid come in.
"Uncle Red, what happened?"
Roy poured a cup of tea for Reid, motioned him to sit down and said.
"Thank you, young master." After taking the teacup, Reid did not drink it, but said with a slightly excited tone: "There is new news!"
"An hour ago, Mr. Lamy's escort convoy was attacked by an unknown witch."
"That's a witch who uses dark energy."
"The attack caused a lot of noise, and many passers-by in the distance from the battle site witnessed it with their own eyes."
"The parade knights we sent to follow the convoy immediately sent the news back through carrier pigeons. It is estimated that many people will know the news in the near future."
Roy touched his chin: "Did Uncle Lamy win?"
"Yes, Mr. Lamy repelled the attacking witch." Reid was full of admiration and longing: "Mr. Lamy's nickname is 'Golden Lion', and he can get the praise of 'Gold' with a silver body , is quite a knight."
"The upper and lower limits of the witch's strength fluctuate greatly. The weak ones are no more than bronze, and the strong ones are no match for the Golden Knight. But normally, the strength limit of the Wandering Witch is within the range of the Silver Knight, and there are very few cases where it exceeds."
