The Imperial City of Cicil, the Royal Palace Prison. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a dirty and messy cell, Lance, who was leaning against the wall, heard footsteps and someone rushed over.

"You're Flame?"

The young man who appeared outside the bars had a handful of red hair, and at this time, he was glaring at Lance, gritting his teeth, and said, "Why are you here? What did you say to Your Majesty?"

Today it was Flame's turn to be on duty, and Flame had been outside Christie's residence since early in the morning, however, Flame did not see his Majesty, but instead saw Christopher walk out with a gloomy face. The moment he saw himself, he rushed over uncontrollably, and asked Qiyan about Christie's whereabouts with an angry face.

Then Flame learned that Christie had left in the middle of the night, and that in the morning, the waiter had found the two servants who had passed out at the door, so he hurried to inform the prince.

Flame joins the team that is scrambling to find Christie, and while searching, he hears about an incident that happened yesterday and knows that Lance is in a cell, so he rushes over. Flame thought that Lance must know where she went.

"Are you here again?Flame, when are you going to let me out?"

Lance stood up and took a few steps, facing a furious flame on his face.

"A prince came to me just now, and she's gone? That prince asked me a lot of questions, and you, like him, are you going to ask me the same questions. "Because Lance is a foreigner and a nobleman, the royal family here cannot torture and interrogate him.

Thanks to this relationship, Lance escaped.

However, in the face of flame's anger, Lance sighed in his heart, just like the prince just now, it was not easy to deal with.

"I don't know where she went, I'm here for the Sword of Thunder. ”

"Where is the Sword of Thunder, and how long do you want to keep me?"

"Sword of Thunder?!" Flame's eyes widened at hearing these words.

“…… If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you!"

Flame said word by word, staring at Lance.

Lance grabbed the two thin pillars on the iron bar with both hands, and also glared at each other viciously, and said slowly: "If Danica is really dead, I won't let you go!!"

Flame left, unexpectedly, did not continue to fire at Reims. Lance looked at him away, secretly relieved, and slowly slipped down the iron grate and sat down, letting out a long breath.

"It's not easy...... I actually sent them back, and I actually did it......"

Lance rubbed his forehead and let out another breath.

"Is the key to victory a momentum? Actually, it's not a victory, I've been told by Danica several times, there's always no momentum, haha......"

"Danica, you're not going to die!"

While talking to himself, Lance lowered his head and looked at his hands clenched into fists.

On the side of the palace, while a group of people were panicking to find Christie's whereabouts, several people rode in a carriage to the woods on the outskirts. The carriage stopped, next to a tree, and the first man to jump down had a handful of red hair, the color of flames, reminiscent of the fiery red sun.

Immediately behind him, two twins who looked exactly the same as each other, and the last to jump out of the carriage was a dark-haired teenager.

"Brother Yan!"

"Brother Yan, will she really be here?"

Flame looked up at the tall tower that stood not far away, and nodded slightly.

"The bridge isn't there, and Luke doesn't know where to go, and the bridge must be right next to her, not to mention Luke. ”

The black-haired boy shook his head, "We can't get in." ”

"That's right, we'll just have to wait for her to come out. Flame turned his head away, looked away from the tower, and said, "Let's go over, if my confirmation is correct, their carriage should be nearby." ”

On the top floor of the Mage Tower, the bridge held the sword of the earth, and while swinging the divine sword in his hand, within a range of fifty meters centered on him, sharp ground thorns instantly grew on the ground, and the other side rushed towards Roque. Everywhere you pass underfoot, a flat stone appears, avoiding the area of thorns you have created.

Roque was slightly startled, and at the beginning he made such a big move, and the ground thorns on the ground almost passed through his body. Old Man Roque stuck his sword horizontally into the wall, endured the small pain coming from under his feet, stepped on the wall, turned his body over, jumped on the sword with his strength, and dodged this move.

Luke holds the Shadow Excalibur, which is his first exposure to it, and he understands that Christie has given himself a good chance because he has never used a sword.

Luke watched the battle between Bridge and Roque and watched the movements of the two of them.

Luke pondered what he had to do to unleash the power of the Shadow Excalibur.

"Thou shalt do it with thy heart. ”

As if knowing what Luke was thinking, the pitch-black sword finally spoke, and it was a very deep voice, different from the sword of thunder.

"Sword of Shadows?"

“……”

"What's in mind?" Luke asked, a little confused.

After a few minutes of waiting, Luke stood there, standing still. Luke still couldn't figure out how to use Excalibur and swing it like a bridge? What does the mind mean?

Luke closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, he was still confused.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.

"Fighting spirit. ”

"Thou, there is no will to fight. ”

These words slipped into his ears, and Luke felt even more confused.

“…… Never have I ever been in a fight. ”

After thinking for a moment, Luke said this.

The Sword of Shadows seemed to have no choice but to continue with Luke, "Swing me." ”

As soon as these words fell, Luke felt that the sword had become lighter, and it seemed to be cooperating with him, and the feeling of holding it became more comfortable.

"Try it. ”

Although Luke still didn't know how to do it, didn't know how to communicate with this Excalibur, but watching every movement of the bridge, something in his heart began to stir.

Christie stood to the side, a smile on her face, quietly watching the battle of unbalanced strength.

The bridge swung the sword of the earth, and smashed dozens or even hundreds of large rocks equal to his own height towards Roque. Roque kept dodging, and dodging like this was not difficult for Roque at all, but these boulders were too large in size, and the route of action was controlled by the other party, and Roque had to find another way to get close to the young man opposite.

From the beginning, Roque was entangled in the bridge, and Roque was supposed to target the boy who was standing still.

But it was stopped several times, and the power of Excalibur could not be ignored, and Roque could almost get close to the guy named Luke.

At that moment, Luke walked over, and he finally wanted to be part of the battle.

Luke raised the Sword of Shadows and swung it forward, Luke wondered what the Sword of Shadows really had, and tried once, but nothing happened.

Luke tried again, but nothing changed around him.

"I don't understand ......"

Luke put his sword down, his expression confused.

"What exactly is your power?"

This time, however, the Sword of Shadows did not answer Luke's question.

"Shadows...... Shadows, what are shadows?"

Luke thought deeply in his mind, anyone who thought of shadow magic would think that it was an evil and dark magic.

"Darkness?"

Luke frowned, repeating the word in his mind.

(Darkness, darkness, darkness, that which cannot see anything, is darkness)

(No, this is superficial, it should be more than darkness)

"Shadow, Shadow, Shadow ......"

"Gray, no light, no shadow, is it a shadow?"

"Shadows, Dark ......"

Luke muttered to himself, and suddenly, he remembered the true name of the Shadow Excalibur.

"Sword of Shadows, Realm of Nothingness?"

"Why is it a kingdom, is it a nation?"

Luke suddenly felt that his previous thinking was wrong, that the power of this sword should not be like that.

"The realm of nothingness means that there is no one person, right? ”

“……”

"What do you mean?"

Luke pondered as the battle over there intensified.

The bridge used the power of the Earth Sword a little excessively, and he was a little tired mentally and physically. However, his opponent only suffered some unimportant injuries, although there was blood on the wounds, those injuries were not in the critical position, and his expression was completely unchanged from the beginning, and he was still in a state of ease.

"Little one, your physical strength is not very good. ”

Of course, this sentence doesn't mean this, it's just Roque's deliberate sarcasm, showing that he still has the heart to play tricks on the other party, which is obviously in an excellent state. This guy is by no means physically weak, Roque noticed that his skills are as good as his stinky son who left early, and it is only because of the excessive use of the Excalibur that this exhaustion is caused.

Luke seemed to touch something, about the power of the Sword of Shadows.

He tried again, grasping the feeling in his heart.

"Sword of Shadows!"

Luke raised his sword and swung it forward again.

At that moment, an invisible gust of wind struck ahead, and a few seconds later, the gust of wind created a fog, a black mist.

The black mist looked like shadows hugging each other, shadows that blended together, vibrating, twisting, and shaking violently.

"What is this?"

Roque looked surprised, looking at these fog-like things, and years of experience had taught him that these fog-like things were dangerous.

It's invisible, and it's not something you can dodge if you want to.

Roque didn't think about it, there was only one way at the moment.

Old Man Roque took out a white magic scroll, and after opening the scroll, a bright circle of light enveloped himself and enveloped it, which was a high-level light defense magic that was particularly effective against shadow magic.

The bridge also felt that this was not a friendly thing, and glanced over to Christie, who was behind Luke, not within the range of the black fog target. In this way, the bridge was a little relieved, and the sword of the earth was inserted into the ground, and a stone wall without gaps grew from the ground to the height of the ceiling, completely stopping the black mist.

"That's enough, Sword of Shadows, stop. ”
