The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

Faced with the encirclement and suppression of the knights of Bona Town, the king had no choice but to retreat in disgrace.

Caesar not only set up a pot in the center of Shijian Village, but also set up a pot to boil water at the door of almost every household. The gray smoke from the firewood covered the sky above Shijian Village like a light white mist.

He even went to a hill near Shijian Village to see it.

I found that it really is like that.

Anyway, he couldn't see any problem with Shijian Village.

Shana and Irene also said that from a distance, Shijian Village at this moment was no different from Shijian Village on ordinary mornings, with a strong sense of bustling life.

This way, Caesar felt relieved.

. . .

Around eight in the morning.

A troll returned to the village and reported to Caesar:

"King, a group of humans is coming."

The rightful owner is here!

Caesar suddenly opened his eyes and picked up the axe of destruction beside him.

He stood up and whispered to the monsters around him:

"Everyone, get up and get ready to work!!"

Chapter 56: Peeping is not something a warrior should do

"The Shijian Village is just ahead."

Diana muttered to herself as she looked at the village standing in the distance near the forest.

We didn't encounter any danger along the way. The Sunset Forest was unexpectedly peaceful, and it felt like there seemed to be fewer wild beasts around. This might be the benefit of having the Knights patrolling nearby.

The archer Mels, who had gone to a distant place to scout the situation in advance, came back.

He was tossing two sunset fruits up and down in his hands and looked in a good mood.

"Did you find anything?" Diana asked.

"No." Myers smiled and said, "The people in Shijian Village are making breakfast. I can smell the smoke from a long distance away. I also picked two ripe sunset fruits on the way. Do you want to try them, Boss?"

As he spoke, the archer showed the bright red fruit. It looked fresh and juicy. Although he hadn't put it in his mouth yet, he could already taste the sweet and sour taste.

"Keep it for yourself." Diana declined. She rode back to the carriage to report the situation to her employer: "Ms. Sophia, please wake up. We will soon reach our destination."

A gentle female voice in the carriage responded in a daze.

Sophia and Mia were both sleeping. They usually got up at nine o'clock in the morning. Sophia was a designer at a high-end dessert shop in the town of Bona. She usually didn't need to go to the dessert shop and could study the recipes at home. As for Mia, she was also studying textile at home and would go to the town's aristocratic training class in the afternoon to learn aristocratic etiquette.

This is the first time in the past two years that I have gone out so early.

"Your carriage is so stable." Sophia perked up, lifted the curtain and looked at the heroic Diana, and smiled helplessly: "I have never ridden in such a stable carriage. I never fell asleep in a carriage before."

"You are overpraising us. We are just providing the best service."

The two women were talking loudly, and Mia beside them smacked her lips and turned over to continue sleeping, with the plush blanket on her body slipping to the ground mischievously. Sophia was afraid that her daughter would catch a cold, so she quickly covered Mia with the blanket again. Looking at Mia's cute sleeping face, she couldn't help but show a touch of doting in her eyes. Although she was only adopted, she had already developed a deep affection for her after so long.

Parks was unable to go home for a long time because of work.

Every time I come back I can't stay long.

Often, they would just meet once and then report to the Knights Templar.

Then you have to leave the town immediately and lead a team to another village.

In the past two years, Mia has been Sovia's only comfort.

"Don't you want to wake up the little one?" Diana's gentle gaze fell on Mia.

"No." Sophia smiled and shook her head. "She is at the age when she is very sleepy. She was very noisy last night when she heard that she was coming to see her father. Now she is finally sleepy... Wait for me to put on my clothes and then we can talk outside the carriage."

Diana asked someone to bring a horse to Sophia.

The two beautiful women walked towards Shijian Village while chatting.

The men in the team glanced over from time to time, their eyes full of amazement.

I have to say that appreciating beautiful things can really make people happy. They are very fortunate to have a beautiful captain, and their employer is also a beauty, so today is a double happiness!

"Derek, how are you getting on?"

The archer noticed that the mage was staring at Diana absentmindedly, so he deliberately said something loudly. The stunned mage suddenly shuddered, turned around and covered the archer's mouth, growling: "Shh! What are you talking about? Do you believe that I will use Pyroblast to fill your mouth?"

"I don't believe it." Myers sneered fearlessly: "Derek, you are so cowardly that sooner or later you will become someone else's woman."

The wizard seemed to be well aware of this truth. He could make many young wizards in Bona Town bow down to him with his magic, but he had no confidence at all when it came to love.

"But the captain said she's not interested in men."

"Isn't that even better?!"

"What do you mean?" The wizard was stunned.

"Derek, I have never seen a man get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to dress up in front of the mirror, worrying about what kind of hairstyle to do today, and spraying so much perfume on his body. You are more troublesome than a woman."

These words made the Mage's face turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before the Mage got furious, the archer had already run to the front of the team, "Captain, I'll go to Shijian Village first!" After saying that, he went forward, and before leaving, he did not forget to give the Mage a teasing look.

"This damn bastard, I really hope a monster will jump out of Shijian Village and swallow him up!" Drake extinguished the fireball in his hand and cursed indignantly, causing the surrounding team members to laugh in a friendly manner.

They all knew that Drake was much stronger than Mels.

But the prerequisite is that Myers wants to fight him.

Instead of shooting arrows from a distance, use high mobility to play around with this wizard.

Mels was in a good mood after teasing the wizard.

He walked down the path along the hillside.

After a while, they arrived near Shijian Village. Hiding in a bush near Shijian Village, Mels suddenly noticed something was wrong.

There was indeed smoke rising from the Shijian Village, but from a distance there seemed to be no one in the village. At least there should be someone guarding the village gate, right?

The doors of the Adventurer's Guild and the tavern were ajar.

Although there was a faint light inside, there was no figure moving.

The entire Shijian Village was filled with a strange atmosphere.

"Something's wrong, this is very wrong, I have to go back and inform the captain!"

Myers muttered to himself, his expression solemn.

Just as I was about to turn around and evacuate, I heard a devilish whisper behind me:

"Peeping is not something a good person should do."

Hoarse, low mumbling accompanied by hot breath sprayed on the back of Mels' head.

Unspeakable fear crawled into his heart like a cold poisonous snake. He turned around slowly and saw a huge demon standing in front of him. The two were less than half a meter apart. The demon blocked all the light, casting a dark shadow, and a pair of bright red eyes were staring at him.

His heart seemed to stop beating, his throat felt like it was being strangled by cold hands, breathing became difficult, Myers stepped back, his mind went blank, and only instinctive fear was raging in his heart.

The demon's eyes were filled with murderous intent and cruelty, like an eagle eyeing its prey, and he was the prey at this moment.

"Wear. . . . . ."

Before he could utter a word, a big hand reached out from behind and covered his mouth.

That was the troll that had appeared behind him at some point in time.

Mels was only a second-level archer, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape from the iron-like arm, which was gradually tightening. His consciousness gradually blurred, and he could only hear the sound of his skull being crushed, and finally, with a "puff", everything fell silent.

Caesar looked coldly at the archer whose head was crushed by the troll, feeling a little annoyed.

He really didn't expect that the archer would come to explore the way twice.

The first time the distance was far, so he could hide a little.

The second time he came directly to the village entrance, so how could he ambush?

The convoy in the distance was getting closer and closer.

But if the archers did not go back and keep silent, their ambush would still be exposed.

Caesar acted decisively and gave the surrounding monsters a look, ordering the troll elder to lead some goblins and trolls to use the bushes to encircle and block the convoy's retreat from the side, while he led another group of trolls and goblins and was ready to charge at any time.

Chapter 57: The receptionist's words are true

Diana, who was leading the convoy, was stunned.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she vaguely heard Mels’ voice just now.

But when she looked towards Shijian Village, it was still so quiet. The surrounding bushes and poplar forests swayed their leaves in the breeze, making a reassuring rustling sound.

"Myers!" Diana called out just to be on the safe side.

But no one responded.

This strange situation made Diana's heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help but have a bad premonition.

"Myers! Where are you? Now is not the time to play pranks!" Diana shouted again, this time her voice was more urgent.

Still no one responded.

Sophia, who was standing next to her, caught the tension and confusion in Diana's expression.

"Did something happen?" She was more easily disturbed than Diana. After all, she was just an ordinary person who was powerless and had a daughter to take care of.

"One of my archers lost contact for unknown reasons."

Diana's face darkened. She pulled the reins to make her and Sophia's horses retreat. "Ms. Sophia, please return to the carriage first. We may be in danger later."

"Oh, oh, okay . . ."

Although I don't know exactly what happened.

But the only people Sophia can trust now are the adventurer team led by Diana. The wind around them gradually stopped, and the entire convoy became alert. The fact that no one has entered or left Shijian Village until now is itself an indication of the problem.

Diana couldn't help but become more anxious as she thought about her sister who was still working as a receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild in Stone Sword Village.

"Derek, I need your help."

Diana said to the wizard who was riding over, "Can you use your Eye of Exploration to help me see what's going on in Stone Sword Village?"

"Of course." Drake nodded: "But this will consume about a quarter of my magic power." He actually did not recommend consuming too much magic power at this time, because it was obvious that Mels was killed and the battle was about to break out, so magic power should be conserved at this time.

"Use it, just to be safe."

Seeing Diana's insistence, Derek no longer hesitated.

He raised his wand and chanted a spell:

"The omnipresent wind of freedom, please become my eyes and help me detect the enemies hidden in the fog!"

The surrounding wind elements gathered towards the mage, and finally condensed into circles of green ribbons that poured into his eyes. His eyes radiated a light green glow and gradually became connected with the wind of freedom. Within a certain range, wherever the breeze blew was where his gaze was.

He saw iron pots placed in a disorderly manner everywhere in Shijian Village.

But there was no one on the street.

There seemed to be some monsters wriggling in the dark in those shadows. He frowned and the wind blew a little lower.

He saw it!

That's a goblin!

The goblin was lying next to a haystack with a woman's dress covering his head, as if this would make it less easy to be discovered. However, he didn't know that he had nowhere to hide from the prying eyes.

Turning his sight, Drake saw more goblins and villagers who were tied up and gagged in the warehouse.

He gasped.

"How, how is it possible? Are the knights near Shijian Village just sitting there doing nothing?"

"What's wrong?" Diana had a bad feeling in her heart. She heard Derek's face turn pale and his lips tremble as he said, "Captain, Shijian Village has been occupied by the demons. It's full of monsters and the villagers have been detained."

"What?!" Diana's pupils shrank.

All the uneasiness in her heart became a reality at this moment. She did not doubt Drake. There was no need for Drake to joke about this matter. Stone Sword Village was breached by monsters, and her sister...
