Paul called over his proud niece, who was also his only living blood relative, but there was no smile on his face.
"Erica, the Sword King has fallen in battle against the new king."
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Erica immediately showed a look of astonishment.
"The Sword King has fallen?"
She was not unaware that the new king had challenged the Sword King, but she had confidence in the Sword King, who was not very bright but had very well-developed muscles.
The new king has only killed one or two god-slayers and possesses at most two powers.
Their leader, the Sword King Tony, has already slain four disobedient gods!
Among them is even the "Steel Guardian," which is known as the "strongest steel"!
The more disobedient gods a god-slayer kills, the more power he gains, and the more means he can use to fight his enemies.
Sometimes, new possibilities can emerge between different powers.
Just as the Sword King was no match for Marquis Voban, the new king will not be a match for the Sword King either.
In her view, this was nothing more than the new king bringing shame upon himself!
I don't know what the Bronze Black Cross was thinking. They were originally serving Marquis Voban, but suddenly they went to serve the new king.
Could it be that the new king has been subdued by Marquis Voban?
Surprisingly, the Sword King couldn't defeat the new king, who was a newcomer.
He actually died in the end?!
Erica furrowed her golden eyebrows.
Leaving aside the enormous impact of the Sword King's death on the Southern European Magic Society Alliance, she asked Paul.
"Uncle, have the Marquis and the new king joined forces?"
Paul shook his head slightly—he himself didn't know how he felt when he received the news—and said in a deep voice.
"The Marquis died at the hands of the new king before the King of Swords."
Erica's mouth gaped open, utterly shocked.
"The new king also killed the marquis?! That can't be!"
She couldn't accept the news and couldn't help but ask Paul.
"Uncle, you're not joking with me, are you?"
"It's a pity, and I hope it's just a joke. But Granicar wouldn't tamper with something like this."
Paul sighed.
“Erica, Liliana has been knighted by the new king. You have a good relationship with her, and I hope you can try to find out more. But make sure you are safe.”
"Yes, Uncle."
Erica nodded emphatically, sensing the weight of this task.
This is a crucial mission concerning the very survival of the Copper Black Cross!
She thought about it and realized that with Liliana's simple and easy-to-understand personality, obtaining information was indeed not difficult.
"However, it was Liliana, not her grandfather, who was knighted by the new king? Was it because of Lilian's beauty?"
Thinking of this, Erica proudly puffed out her chest.
"I'm quite confident in my looks! If that's the case, I'm sure I can get the new king to appoint me as his knight!"
……
So the next morning, Erica went to the Balkan Peninsula, which faces Italy across the sea, and met Liliana.
Her smile was sincere and warm, and no one who saw it would doubt the weight of this friendship.
"Lily, my dearest friend, it's been so long!"
But the moment Liliana saw Erica's fox-like face, she immediately bristled.
"Erica Blantri! What are you doing here? And I'm not your best friend!"
Erica sniffed the fragrance emanating from Liliana and smiled.
"How can you be so heartless? Have you forgotten the wonderful time we spent training together under the Knights of Saint Raphael? Are you having breakfast? Eating something as greasy as steak first thing in the morning is not good for your health."
Chapter 166 The Fork Knight
Erica didn't know exactly what she had said that touched a nerve with Liliana.
Upon hearing this, Liliana's face immediately turned red.
The silver-haired hamster even excitedly drew the silver dagger from its waist and shouted at Erica.
"Shut up, you vixen!"
Is this a case of being embarrassed and angry?
It seems that Liliana is very dissatisfied with her knighthood.
Erica was deep in thought when Granicar appeared beside her.
He glared at Liliana and scolded her in a low voice.
"Liliana, the King is eating! Keep quiet! What kind of behavior is this!"
Liliana froze, then quickly and obediently sheathed her sword.
"Yes, Grandfather."
At the same time, Erica also noticed that a dinner knife was stuck above the Silver Master.
A dinner knife?
Why does Liliana still carry this thing?
Remembering the smell of steak on the other person, and knowing that steak wasn't Liliana's favorite food, Erica suddenly realized.
So Liliana didn't eat steak for breakfast herself, but rather cut steak for the king?
They call themselves knights, but they actually work as maids?
No wonder Liliana was so emotional!
Erica kept this in mind, while Granicar glanced over from the side.
"You're Paul's niece, aren't you?"
"Yes, Mr. Granicar."
Erica smiled and gave Granical an impeccable ladylike curtsy.
Granical nodded expressionlessly to Erica and began to speak.
"Tomorrow is the day the King will meet the seven sisters. As Paul's niece, you must not be impolite."
He then gestured to Liliana with his eyes before turning and leaving.
In fact, Granichal understood why Erica had come.
All she wanted was to become a knight of the king, like Liliana, or even a concubine.
If the king had merely replaced Marquis Voban, he would certainly be secretly trying to stop it now.
But the king's journey was destined not to end in Europe.
Therefore, we need to be wary of "honey traps" from other places.
Especially in Asia.
After all, the king looked like an Easterner, and he was accompanied by an Eastern woman.
Rather than buying cheap, flashy, cheap goods, it's better to buy cheap, seemingly hostile to the Bronze Black Cross, but actually knowing each other inside and out and having an unspoken understanding.
With these two beautiful young women who are not only outstanding in appearance but also in strength in Europe, they should be able to block many eyes that are eyeing the position of the king's concubines.
After Granichal left, Erica probed the innocent Lily again.
"Lily, I heard you were knighted by the king? What is your knighthood title? Pure White Knight?"
"Kill you!"
Although she didn't draw her sword, Erica still sensed a very real killing intent emanating from Liliana.
Under this murderous intent, her hair was practically flying up, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Seriously, I'll kill you if you ask another question!"
Erica: (°ー°〃)
Such a big reaction?
Erica clicked her tongue in amazement.
This is the second time Liliana has refused to reveal her title.
Logically speaking, a knight's title is the source of a knight's honor, and it should not be hidden away.
So this is definitely not a title that can be spoken aloud, otherwise the Bronze Black Cross would have been publicized everywhere long ago.
Inside the restaurant, Xia Zhi held Takatsuki Izumi, who was sitting in his lap, and fed her a piece of steak that Liliana had cut with a fork.
After Xia Zhi killed the Sword King, she worked tirelessly, carrying the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Map, and under the arrangement of the Bronze Black Cross, traveling non-stop between other serious prisons in the Balkans that Xia Zhi had not visited.
She killed all the most heinous criminals among them, sending their souls into the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to provide sustenance for the nameless one.
Now, the souls of thousands of ordinary people are of little use to Xia Zhi, who is in the Integration Stage.
Adding the word "ten thousand" would be quite appealing.
Sitting in one's lap and waiting to be fed is the reward that the summer solstice gives to Takatsuki Sen for her hard work.
"Is this a reward for yourself, my master?"
Takatsuki Sen gave Xia Zhi a charmingly disdainful look, her sharp teeth easily slicing the steak in her mouth.
Xia Zhi silently lowered her left hand.
Inside the castle, Xia Zhi overheard Erica and Liliana's encounters and conversations.
The entire castle was within his field of vision.
He transmitted his voice to Liliana.
“Bring your friends over, Lily.”
"Yes, King."
Liliana paused, looked at Erica with a complicated expression, and gave a warning to one of her very few acquaintances.
"Come with me, the king wants to see you. Don't be too rude, you vixen."
"what?"
Erica was taken aback.
Did the king just send a message to Liliana?
She only wanted to gather some information first, but she didn't expect to see the king so soon, so she hesitated.
But the king's orders were clearly not something she could disobey.
Erica obediently followed Liliana to the restaurant.
At the restaurant entrance, the two knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty, Liliana has come to see you."
“Come here, Lily. Stand next to me.”
Xia Zhi released her arms from Takatsuki Sen and let her sit down beside her.
“Erica Brantley of the Copper Black Cross? Come forward.”
As the two approached Xia Zhi, he spoke to Erica, who was feeling uneasy but had a constant smile on her face.
