Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

The demons in the Silver Heart Fortress were quickly wiped out. The fighting power of these alien creatures is a bit sorry for the panic they caused when they were mentioned. In fact, these are not high-level demons, so the paladins of the temple will give some pointers , the army in the fortress can solve it perfectly.

Duke Connor Catilla seemed to be very angry. He pushed away the crowd and rushed forward, his neckline was ripped out in confusion. The angry-eyed Duke severely reprimanded the legionnaires who cleaned up the mage tower. The time is all about the honor of the so-called stronghold, and expresses contempt for the military mage who died in the mage's tower.Although he didn't dare to offend the scholars of the Temple of Truth, all of these mages looked at him coldly. If he wasn't an imperial duke and fortress lord, these mages might throw a dozen curses at each of them.

"If those mages were a little smarter, they wouldn't have caused so many follow-up troubles for everyone! Are these battle mages raised by the empire every year for decoration?" the Duke said angrily.

"Whenever a disaster occurs, people are always the first to start internal strife and consume a lot of energy." Kevin commented indifferently. Even Dinin, the priest in the temple who was so good-tempered that it was unreasonable, listened to Connor's lecture. After that, the corners of their mouths turned down, clearly expressing their anger.

Mevis frowned. The Catilla family has always had this kind of attitude towards spellcasters, which is very unfriendly, but at the same time, they think that a mage should have the ability to solve everything, otherwise why should they be called a mage.But when he was no longer on the same front with the Catilla family, he began to realize how much the biased values ​​passed down by the family were a hindrance at a critical moment.

He said to his elder brother: "The top priority now is to organize the defense force. Do you think such a costly offensive will be easily retreated?"

Connor waved his hands again and again, "The fortress is impenetrable, and they will definitely retreat in the end!"

Mevis stared in amazement at his strange elder brother who had been born with a small belly over the years. No matter what he said, Duke Katilla still insisted that his army could defend the fortress tightly. This accident was just the enemy's fault. The audacity was caused by a sneak attack.

"Ha, secular nobleman." Kevin laughed.

Mevis didn't even have the desire to retort habitually. With a calm face, he looked at his subordinates who were still entangled by the infected.

Except for the infected people who are still struggling, there are a large number of travelers and mercenaries who are blocked outside the city. The merchants who transport seasonal fruits and vegetables have basically begun to rot. Infected healthy people frequently lifted their clothes to see if there were pustules on their bodies, as if they were suffering from paranoia.

Mevis frowned, stood on the city wall and looked at the chaotic city outside, and said: "Then at least the crowd outside should be properly arranged, instead of being left outside like this!"

"The closure of the fortress is an order from the capital!" Duke Katilla replied, "Until the missing little princess is found, the gate of the fortress will not be opened!"

"So the little princess is really lost?"

They suddenly heard another voice, turned their heads together, and suddenly found that there were two more people under the city wall tower, a spellcaster, and the other looked like a knight. The caster and the knight often form such an inseparable partner. This is not everyone Focusing on the point, an officer beside Connor yelled, "Who are you and how did you get here?"

"They're mine," Mavis said, even giving the yelling officer a stern look.

Yalan and Etjaye stood on the city wall very naturally. Hearing the question, Yalan replied frankly: "Of course it was teleported up."

"This city wall is several tens of feet long!" A military mage exclaimed. Looking at the chaos outside the city from this height, the crowds of people crowded together like a group of ants fighting for territory.

"The little princess of the empire was really kidnapped?" Yalan continued to ask, he emphasized the word "kidnapping". As a nobleman, Connor of course understood it immediately. The royal family often made up the image of an evil assassin for the elopement princess. It is generally not dare to invent a bad dragon, because the Holy Dragon Empire will lodge a diplomatic protest because of this, so the kidnapping of the princess by the assassin is mostly considered as an excuse to cover up the princess's elopement, God knows why the princess likes to elope.

——Perhaps it has something to do with the poor quality of the princes of various countries.

"His Royal Highness Aiwen, the little princess of the empire, is only 13 years old!" Connor replied.

A human's 13-year-old is probably not too young to elope.

Afterwards, the knights of the Kantanaroa Temple were still stationed outside the city. Mevis rejected his brother's proposal to invite him to rest in the Duke's mansion. He said: "Since you just said that the gate of the fortress must be closed, we outsiders should go back Out of town."

Until they returned to the outside of the city, Yalan was still struggling with that question:

"What is there to kidnap in a 13-year-old princess?"

Atgaya recalled the various legendary stories stored in his mind, and answered uncertainly: "Ask the king for a ransom?"

"That's a story that doesn't make any sense at all! Think about it, he can break into the kingdom and rob the living princess as if he had entered no one's land. Couldn't he just rob the treasury? Why risk being killed by knights, princes, etc. The danger of the protagonist's subjugation, to ask for ransom, just to help the hero and heroine match?" Yalan shook her head, "So the story is always full of fictional elements, which is very unreasonable."

"Princess Aiwen is just a normal, ordinary princess. She doesn't have multiple identities, and she doesn't serve as the commander of the legion like the eldest princess of the Holy Dragon Empire. She is just... a princess who obediently plays with dolls in the palace."

Yalan pondered: "Could it be that she looks particularly good-looking?"

Atgaya raised his forehead: "You just said that I have no logic. When a human is 13 years old, no matter how good-looking they are, they can't compare with elves!"

"Oh!" Yalan nodded thoughtfully—Etgaya couldn't help but want to say, you just like to hear the second half of the sentence, elves are good-looking, right?

The priest Dining, who had been listening all the time, suddenly interjected weakly: "That...Princess Aiwen is very likely a bloodline spellcaster."

Yalan was taken aback, and asked, "The queen is a warlock? Why didn't I know?"

"No, of course not..." Dining said, "I judge that Princess Aiwen should be a mutated bloodline caster. Her Majesty the Queen brought her to my place. You were not there at the time... The princess was suffering from nightmares... ...This is extremely rare. Generally, warlock abilities are innate and inherited from parents, but some things may cause mutations the day after tomorrow. Such examples are pitifully rare. What causes the mutation is also different in each case. The only What is certain is that the mutated power will be very dangerous and extremely unstable."

The most common warlock is the kind that throws fireballs. Unlike fire mages, Anleil and the others can create unconstrained magic through spells and runes. Warlocks can only throw fireballs. If you live to be three hundred years old, you can still only throw it so big.The strength of a bloodline spellcaster is determined innately, and cannot be trained or strengthened—except for mutants.

"If it's a mutated warlock, it's still worth catching." Yalan nodded, "But what are you doing? Studying her? Or trying to get a warlock to do bad things together?"

They have to jump out of the routine of the legend - because there really was no imperial princess who was a blood mutant in the past.

Etjaye suddenly said: "The blood of the royal family of the Oslant Empire, what kind of blood do they call themselves?"

Yalan raised his eyebrows and said, "They claim to be the descendants of the ancient demigod King Amuel... Every royal family has similar legends, and the most common ones are the Golden Knight King and the Silver Saint. class name."

For those who have lasted for more than one divine era, the royal family began to arrange their own life experience. Although the truth cannot be tested, it seems to be a royal tradition.

Etjaye nodded, "But maybe it's true? Maybe their ancestor was a great wind master or something a long time ago. The story has become magical after a few generations. Oslant is a magic empire. They Maybe your royal family does inherit some kind of bloodline power?"

"Mage power cannot be inherited." Yalan pointed out.

"But how did the magical family come about? For example, the Haines family, Kevin's former family, a famous magical family, has produced many archmages..."

Yalan comprehended: "Do you think that the royal family of Osland will inherit some secret spells, and the energy of magic will indeed accumulate with the age of use, and gradually infiltrate the whole family. This is also an atmosphere influence, just like the painter's It is easy for a son to learn to draw, and the son of a blacksmith is also very skillful."

"In addition, she is a blood mutant." Et Gaya pointed out, "In the northern border, especially some shamans and wizards of the highlanders, they have some kind of sacrificial ceremony, offering noble or powerful blood Sacrifice, in exchange for—”

"Can we discuss those who throw fireballs later, and think about what's in front of us first." Kevin suddenly floated over from the side—he was floating one person above the ground, above everyone’s heads—because the surrounding area was already crowded. It became a pot of porridge.

The holy white knights led by Mevis are desperately intercepting the infected again, but the situation is getting worse-there are also infected people among the holy white knights.
