Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

Turbulence spread silently in the Silver Heart Fortress. The battle between the legendary Black Mage and the Grand Lich in the mountains attracted all attention. Even though Helena chose a hillside farther away from the fortress, But how big is the bone dragon? Part of the reason why the dragon is so big is its size. The older it is, the bigger the dragon is. Lie Guang was a battle-hardened prince before his death. volume……

He could almost use the towering Mage Tower of the Silver Heart Stronghold as a pillow.

So who can't see him, who can't hear him!The residents rushed to their windows, because the fortress is currently under curfew. These ordinary people who have lived in the military fortress for a long time have a certain degree of combat quality. Even the army is stunned. Parents who have no lungs will immediately grab their brats who want to run outside and stuff them into a safer place like the basement.That is not a succubus that has been misunderstood by others, has charming or even obscene fantasies, it is a bone dragon that anyone who is not blind can recognize!

The street was unimpeded, and the roar of the dragon kept coming from a distance. The guards of the fortress were panicked for a while, looking around on the city wall, because their daily training really did not include bone dragons, so no matter how brave the soldiers were, their hands and feet felt cold, and their eyes were at a loss. , reacted almost like ordinary people, pointing at the sky and yelling, bone dragons only appear in legendary stories, accompanied by the black mage's fierce name——

Fortunately, they immediately realized that the bone dragon belonged to their own camp.

The Magic Legion under the Duke of Haynes responded faster than the fortress defenders. None of them had heard the name of the Priest of the Moon, Helena, the strongest black mage in the world, and a legendary spellcaster. The only necromancer in the world who "legally" drives a bone dragon. No one knows why the dragon clan, which has always hated such actions, can tolerate a dragon corpse falling into the hands of the necromancer. Anyway, Helena is done.

But in reality, Helena will not ride a dragon flying around the sky as described in the story. After all, it is an undead dragon. Even if the right of ownership still belongs to the righteous camp defined in everyone's mind, it is only an ignorant countryman who thinks that the dark priest belongs to the evil people. Food and agriculture, there is absolutely no one in the imperial army who can't tell the camp, but the appearance of the bone dragon is indeed too exaggerated, making people think that their teammates are the villains in a trance. Like Shan, Helena wouldn't have summoned this bone dragon if he hadn't really met his opponent.

But the dragon roar lasted for a long time, and they didn't see the enemy. Several scout mages in the magic legion would use scouting eyes. Those small magic creations were like a big eyeball with two small wings inserted. The mage applied invisibility to them, Then command them to fly to the battlefield.

Not long after, a report came that the reconnaissance eye was destroyed about one kilometer away from the battle center. It was not discovered, but the strength of the two sides in the battle was far higher than that of ordinary military mages in the legion. How big is the gap between the orthodox mages, each one is ashamed.

They only saw a wave of undead creatures, and they glanced at the periphery of the battlefield, but they couldn't tell who belonged to the opposing sides, maybe both sides had them.

The Duke of Haynes himself is an archmage, and he immediately realized that Helena, the great priest of Siyue, had hidden in the fortress at some point, and his grandson, Kevin, completely concealed it, and his mouth was terribly strict, and he didn't notice it at all. A little spoiler in the face of the grandfather, which shows that the actions of the high priest are highly confidential, and... an enemy who has reached the level of the high priest Siyue!

Helena didn't want to, if he wanted to, that skull dragon alone would be able to wipe out most of the unprepared kingdom!

Using undead spells, a strong man who has reached the level of Priest Siyue... All traces of the elderly in Haines' eyes were wiped away. It is very strange to match the ribbon ties and imperial emblems with the robe, but a robe that has been enchanted and strengthened is the battle robe of the mage. The Duke of Haines has not worn the robe for a long time. He put on the mage robe only to indicate that the archmage is going to the battlefield up.

What happened 20 years ago was jointly suppressed by the clergy, and the people accepted the description of the whole incident, but those people who really understand the matter in various countries are just pretending to be deaf and dumb, and they don’t want to see someone in their country being fooled by the followers of the goddess of oblivion , and wanted to have an uprising or something, so of course they cooperated with the Temple and Shadowmoon to try their best to hide the traces of the existence of the Annihilation Sect, but they were as clear as a mirror in their hearts.

It just so happened that the Duke of Haines knew that there was a spellcaster whose undead spell was comparable to that of Priest Siyue. It was not a coincidence that that woman was the soul of the Annihilation Sect.

"The highest level of alert, ignite all beacon towers!" Duke Haines roared, "Legion first-level combat readiness!"

Behind the fortress is the vast hinterland of the empire, with large tracts of fertile fields and bustling cities. The terrain in the Oslant Empire is monotonous, with endless plains mixed with a few rare low hills, so they fought with the half-orcs in the northwest Many passes and high walls have been cast on the battlefield, and the pass in the south is the Silver Heart Fortress. Once the pass is broken, the enemy will drive straight in.

The beacon fire of the Silver Heart Fortress burned twice in a short period of time, and the second time was obviously more terrifying. The dazzling red smoke rose under the night, and the military mage added some materials to it. The smoke looked surprisingly bright, brighter than the day It was much more conspicuous when it was in the sky, and half of the sky turned orange.

The battle between bone dragons, black mages, and unknown enemies has attracted a lot of attention, so everything that is going on quietly in the fortress seems less exaggerated.

The holy knights are neatly dressed. They wear silver helmets made by the temple and blessed by the priests. Tonight is the annual silver full moon in Diana. The bright moonlight illuminates the edges of their holy helmets, which is holy and dazzling. At first glance, it is not suitable for sneaking at night, but paladins never move secretly, and they like to be upright in everything they do.

They divided into two groups on the street, a total of three sword-wielding priests—including the High Priest of Light himself. They wore the battle robes of the sword-wielding priests and held the holy sword. The light of blessing on the holy sword can be superimposed on each of them. The paladin fell on him three times, and then the sword-wielding priests Dinin and Sissel continued forward, heading straight for the cemetery, while Yalan led the remaining paladins towards the Duke's mansion.

Outside the light group formed by the paladins, there were two dark figures following from a distance. All the dark knights and priests were doing big things outside with the great priest, but these two were crowded in the ranks of the temple. Here, the silver moon and a large amount of holy light made the dark priests feel a little uncomfortable, but Yalan's control is too strong, these will not cause real harm, but will only make the dark priests feel subtly uncomfortable, a bit like walking around on the street There was a strong man following him all the time, and he felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't just rush forward and beat him up, because he didn't do anything.

The gate of the Duke's Mansion was closed, and it seemed that no one in the mansion was interested in the commotion outside.

A quiet duke's mansion, not even a light on, deserted, but a small farmyard can be like this, a big noble mansion can't, there is no noble family without night watch servants and guards, even some extravagant ones, the kitchen is open all day long, including late at night Always prepare a few things that can be eaten at any time, so as to prevent the host from entertaining guests or simply waking up in the middle of the night to find that you are hungry.

Excessive calm is more sufficient than the horror effect brought by the big bang. The silence before the storm is often more uncomfortable than the real rainstorm. The unknown is always the most terrifying thing.

"Open the door." Yalan said.

The paladins set up a shield of holy light. Moiraine stepped forward, and the female knight touched the gate, but did not feel any fluctuations. The paladins carefully identified the surroundings and found no traps, so Moiraine With a little effort, Wei easily opened the normally locked door.

Shuashuashuashua, all the sword points pointed directly at the door, and then the vigilance of the paladins was emptied, and it was still quiet inside, and the furnishings in the porch were exquisite, the same as when Yalan and the others came last time.

The paladins filed in, and after confirming that there was no danger, Moiraine let Yalan and the others in. Etjaye followed Yalan closely, and Kevin passed by them with a murderous look on his face.

"Go upstairs." Kevin said, "The nobleman hides secret passages at home, and he must hide them in a place that only he can touch."

The last time they came, Kevin and Yalan had already started to suspect. The guests were still taking a nap in the afternoon, and they refused to get up for a long time. Not only was it at odds with the etiquette, but it also pointed out a clue——

At that time, Duke Catilla was most likely not in the Duke's mansion, and the hidden secret passage must be hidden in his bedroom, which is the most secretive place in the entire Duke's mansion!

There was a slight commotion in the advancing paladin ranks, but certainly not danger.

A dead body fell on the corner of the stairs, wearing the clothes of the Duke's mansion, the posture is distorted, but the face is unclear, no one can recognize who a mummy was before it was alive, unless it is a professional coroner, even the undead The mage also doesn't know the skill of recognizing people by looking at the bones.

Kevin did step forward to touch it, and he said: "Death from magic power siphon is the same spell that activated the fortress mage tower before. After improvement, it not only absorbs magic power, but also drains vitality when placed on ordinary people."

The paladins have always had a small team patrolling outside the Duke's mansion. No evil spellcaster can escape their eyes and ears, not even the one who commands the bone dragon to call the wind and rain. The paladins in the central hall are also top professionals in the mainland, so they attacked Can only come from within.

"I don't think the Duke is a spellcaster." Yalan said, "The Kadila family has produced too many great warriors, and there should be some kind of talent that is more inclined to warriors in their blood."

Kevin sneered: "But Connor is as fat as dough, and I guess the level of a fighter is also the level of dough."

"Talent is innate, but it doesn't mean it can't be wasted." Yalan said, "A person with great warrior talent may not necessarily become a legendary warrior. Connor has been immersed in the nobles' schemes for many years. Now on the battlefield in the northwest The generals of the Dila family are just insignificant offshoots with the same surname. The real blood of the main family is in this fortress. One has become a bloated nobleman, and the other... has become the least favorite of the warrior family. priests."

But they still agreed that Connor himself could not have been the murderer.
