It feels so good to stick to Miss Witch

Because of the existence of large iron ore veins, the mining and foundry industry in Iron Mountain Territory is quite prosperous, and most of the weapons it produces are supplied to the Legion of the Border Duke in exchange for a lot of wealth and resources.

The lord's mansion in Iron Mountain Territory was built differently from ordinary flat mansions, with four towers and walls as high as 20 meters, and the defense was heavily guarded. It is not surprising that it is called a "fortress".

In fact, even the residents of Iron Mountain Territory call this place "Iron Mountain Fortress", not the lord's mansion.

From the architectural style of the lord's mansion, it can be seen that the lord of the Iron Mountain Territory, Lord Denham, is definitely not a person who is content with the status quo.

At this moment, in the room at the top of the tower at the highest point in the center of Iron Mountain Fortress, Lord Denham, dressed in black and silver armor and with a long sword on his waist, was standing by the stone window, gazing into the deep night.

The kerosene lamp lit by the wall illuminated his granite-like hard and indifferent profile.

Lord Denham is not very old, he is only 35 years old this year. As a nobleman, this is the best age - he has ability, sufficient experience, and vigorous physical energy. He only needs one chance. It will be able to go further in the original position.

But in fact, this opportunity is the most difficult thing to get.

Imperial titles, from high to low, are Duke, Marquis, Bo, Zi, Nan, and Xun.

Although the title of lord is listed as one of the titles of the empire, in fact, in the eyes of real nobles, a lord is not a real noble. The purpose of its establishment is more like rewarding those knights who have made great achievements in war .

Lord Denham, who was born as a commoner, knows very well that if there is no accident, the highest position he can achieve in his life is the position of Lord. If he wants to climb to a higher level, unless there are constantly amazing and brilliant people among the younger generations, a generation of With the accumulation of generations, it is only slightly possible, but that is a scenery that he can't see.

But now, a chance to climb up that he may only have once in this life is in front of him.

Lord Denham turned back to the desk in the room, opened the drawer, and looked at an envelope with a gold-plated edge and a violet emblem inside.

Seeing this letter, he felt a lot more stable inside, and he became more confident about his next actions.

"Dong dong..."

There was a slight knock on the door, and Lord Denham closed the drawer before he said, "Come in."

"Squeak..."

Pushing the door open was a middle-aged knight wearing armor and holding a helmet.

This person is Lord Denham's squire knight and his confidant, named Jax.

Jax, with a gray beard, saluted Lord Denham respectfully, and then said, "Lord Lord, the information has been sorted out."

"According to the news sent back by the scout knights from all over the place, the shadow witch attacked the temple prison car at noon today and was repelled by the 'golden lion' Rami, and then disappeared without a trace. After a short repair, the temple prison car team set off again. Fifty kilometers north."

"In the mansion of Lord Blackstone, after Roy Turumbel was taken away, he fell into a panic. Although the stability was generally maintained under the auspices of Red, there has been a phenomenon of unstable people. It can be foreseen that if there is no change in the later period , separation and disintegration is a matter of time."

"In addition, the lord-appointed mission from the imperial capital is temporarily staying in the lord's mansion in the Luyin Territory after hearing about the incident in the Black Stone Territory. It seems to be waiting to see what happens next."

"As for the Duke of the Border, at dusk today, a team of elite knights has been dispatched, and they are rushing here, but judging from their speed, by the time they arrive here, Roy Turumbel has already been escorted Entered the God's Punishment Prison in the Temple of the Cathedral."

After reporting the information, Jax lowered his head slightly with a respectful expression, waiting for Lord Denham's order.

Sitting behind the desk, Lord Denham lowered his head and meditated. After a while, he handed Jax a token and a letter that had been prepared on the desk, and said in a deep voice, "You have the token of the lord. Go along and present this letter to His Excellency Duke Soros, and remember, it must be handed over to His Excellency the Duke himself."

"The task must be completed." Jax responded loudly.

"Very good, let's go immediately, I'll wait for your news." Lord Denham nodded in satisfaction.

Standing by the stone window, looking at Jax who was galloping away in the middle of the night holding a torch, Lord Denham turned around, the smile on his mouth could no longer be restrained.

The plan is about to be completed.

With a happy mood, Lord Denham walked down the stairs alone, and finally came to the deepest part of the fort, a closed basement door.

The two knights guarding the gate bowed their heads respectfully when they saw Lord Denham, and then skillfully opened the iron gate made of thick metal behind them.

"bang bang..."

Behind the iron gate was a small room about [-] square meters. The dim candlelight in the corner was the only light source here.

In the center of the room, there was a metal cage. Extending from the four walls, iron chains thicker than ordinary people's forearms penetrated into the cage and locked on a girl's limbs.

The girl was wearing off-white loose clothes and a metal collar tightly wrapped around her neck. She curled up with her eyes closed, trembling from time to time, as if she had fallen into a deep nightmare.

Looking at the witch in front of him, Lord Denham grinned silently.

"Don't worry, you will be 'free' soon..."

……

Black Stone Collar, the lord's mansion, the secret place in the treasure room.

Under the gaze of Shadow Witch Lilia Qiji, Roy turned around and left this strange space with Ice Witch Ace.

As for Shadow Witch Lilia?

Ai Si had told him just now that she had sealed the "witch heart" of the shadow witch Lilia with magic power. Unless she unlocked it, Lilia, who could not use magic power, would never be able to break free from the shackles of the ice crystal torture device.

As for Shadow Witch Lilia's injury?

With the physique of a witch, such an injury can't kill her, so don't worry about it.

At the door of the treasure room, Red, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, was relieved to see that Roy came out safely.

He looked vigilantly at the Ice Witch who was following Roy, and dared not relax the right hand holding the knight's sword at his waist.

Ace didn't care about that at all.

A mere bronze knight, if she had the will, she could take his life in a split second.

In front of her, the bronze knight is just a slightly stronger "ordinary person".

Ai Si's frosty eyes swept over Roy: "The first thing is done, I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, before Roy could reply, her body blurred and disappeared under the moonlight.

Chapter 24 See you in the picture!

Looking at the place where the ice witch Ais disappeared, Red's body subconsciously tensed up.

Even if the Ice Witch disappeared right in front of his eyes, he still couldn't observe how the other party left.

The gap is so large that it makes people feel desperate.

There is a natural and irreparable gap between the witch and the knight.

But soon, Red calmed down, but the idea of ​​mastering the secret technique of breathing became more urgent in his heart.

He didn't want to be able to fight against the witch, he just wanted to buy even one more second for Master Roy in case of a conflict with the witch.

Roy naturally didn't know what was going on in Red's mind.

After he returned to the room, he practiced the breathing method while thinking silently.

Through the interrogation of the Shadow Witch, he obtained key information-the real identity of the person behind the scenes is Lord Denham, Lord of Iron Mountain.

The identity of the service witch is not a secret. As long as you inquire carefully, you can easily know the information about the service witch of the Iron Mountain Territory—Vivian, the light witch. When he asked Red for the territory information, he had some information. learn.

It is said that Vivian, the Witch of Light, can create a dazzling light source, and can manipulate light to form weapons, and her combat effectiveness is considered outstanding among serving witches.

Unlike the Healing Witch Shanika, the Light Witch Vivian was not highly polluted when she was dispatched to the Iron Mountain Territory, but now she is on the verge of getting out of control.

It can be seen how much Lord Denham has "squeezed" her over the years.

In fact, lords at the lord level do not necessarily have witches serving in their territories. As far as Roy knows, among the four territories around Blackstone Territory, only Blackstone Territory and Iron Mountain Territory have serving witches.

Knowing the identity of the person behind the scenes, how to act next is a problem.

Please, the Ice Witch, get rid of "Lord Iron Mountain Lord Denham"?

Undoubtedly, this is not difficult.

But what about after removing it?

"Lord of Iron Mountain Lord Denham" is a nobleman recognized by the empire. If he died at the hands of a witch, the nature would be completely different.

Previously, Ice Witch Ace was only hunted down by the temple. The Empire neither supported nor opposed it, and her attitude was rather ambiguous. But if the Ice Witch really killed "Lord of the Iron Mountain Lord Denham", Then the empire had to take action.

It is true that Ais, the Ice Witch, is very powerful, but it is not true that there are no powerful existences above silver in the temple and the empire. They have not been dispatched before, just because these strong people have other important things on them, and there is no warning. Prepare to estimate the true strength of the Ice Witch.

And after the Ice Witch's "Battle of Fame" more than two months ago, the empire and the temple made another move, and it would definitely not be a small fight.

There must be a powerful knight of the gold level to make a move!Even for the sake of stability, there may be more than one!

As a result, Ice Witch Ais and Fox-Eared Witch Irina will fall into a huge crisis.

And such a situation is definitely not what Roy wants to see.

He wanted to get rid of the man behind the scenes, "Lord of the Iron Mountain, Lord Denham", instead of hurting both sides and cutting off his own arm.

Therefore, it is the best strategy to let the ice witch Ais take action.

There are only two combat powers that Blackstone can attack outside, one is the bronze knight Reid, and the other is the healing witch Shanika.

But the former is not strong enough. Although the two-star bronze knight is not weak, it is simply a dream to go deep into the Iron Mountain Territory and get rid of "Lord of Iron Mountain Lord Denham" by himself.

As for the latter, although Shanika's magic power is not weak, her ability is healing, which is an auxiliary talent, and does not have a strong frontal combat ability.

Therefore, neither of them is suitable for the assassination operation.

So if you want to eradicate "Lord of the Iron Mountain Lord Denham", you must find another way.

Regarding this, Roy had two thoughts in mind.

The first is to use some kind of "reason" to lead "Lord Iron Mountain Lord Denham" out of the territory.As long as Lord Denham is killed in a corner that no one knows about, even if the temple and the empire have the means to distinguish whether the murderer is a witch, they will have no way to use it.

The second way is to let him do it himself.With the help of the talent [Infinite Desire], his strength has progressed beyond everyone's imagination. As long as he is given enough time, he will have a strength far surpassing that of Lord Denham.

Of the two approaches, Roy prefers the former.

The time required for the latter is not necessarily the same. What's more, in addition to physical strength, in order to have enough combat power, he also needs to practice weapons, which takes longer.And the people behind the scenes may not necessarily give him so much time.

And speaking of the first method...

A light flashed in Roy's mind.

He got up quickly and turned back to the secret place of the treasure room.

After all the treasures were taken away by him, this secret place is perfect as a place to hide the witch, whether it is used as the residence of the ice witch Ais and the fox-eared witch Irina in the future, or the current shadow witch Lilia. cell.

The semi-illusory door reappeared and solidified again. Seeing Roy walking in, the dim light in the eyes of Shadow Witch Lilia re-lighted: "Master Roy, are you willing to give me a high-purity magic crystal? I... ..."

Before Lilia's eager words could finish, Roy raised his hand to interrupt. He looked at Lilia with a faint smile on his face: "Miss Lilia, are you willing to make a deal with me?"

……

The night passed quickly.

The next day at dawn, at ten o'clock in the morning, Red, who was trying out the secret technique of breathing in the training ground, received an urgent message from his knights.
