Although everyone usually doesn't express much opinion about the paddling Merlin, why not squeeze some value out of this almighty guy once in a while.

"Don't take it as an example, this time it's just based on the urgency of the situation, so I will use Merlin's power to make the process as short as possible, the feeling of dependence will make people gradually decadent, Artoria, I don't want to see it in you, things like intelligence gathering and analysis, you have to do more things yourself in the future."

Qi Wuce admonished Artoria, as serious as Ektor. Artoria, who seems to have liberated herself after changing into women's clothes, has recently begun to be a little naïve.

"Hmmm! I understand! ”

Artoria replied energetically.

"Merlin!"

"Good, good! I said yes. ”

Because Qi Wuce and Ektor have always been the backbone before, Merlin has always been paddling in addition to taking on the responsibility of leading the way.

With clairvoyance, Merlin quickly sees what is happening in Adris's castle.

"Oh! It's Barnett! The great knight under Fu Tigeng is also the leader of our knights who came to hunt down and kill us, and the good news is that His Excellency Ektor was not captured by that knight. ”

Merlin slowly revealed the origin of Barnett's life to Qi Wuce and the others, and there were very few things in Britain that could hide his clairvoyance that saw through the world.

"Barnett......" Qi Wuce pondered, remembering the small village where he lived, and after all these years, he had already figured out the Saxon knight who led the team that day.

"This time, it's a mix of old and new hatreds."

The killing intent exuded by Qi Wuce's body made Kai and Artoria choose to be silent, they had also heard some things about Qi Wuce's past, and they naturally knew the knight named Barnett.

"Kai, the matter of finding Lord Ektor is left to you and Merlin, as for the location of Lord Hyactor Merlin will take you there, while Artoria and I will go to the castle to find out some more information."

Kai Ying gave Qi Wuce's suggestion, and he naturally trusted Qi Wuce's strength, so he didn't worry about any danger to Artoria who followed Qi Wuce.

After separating from Kai, Qi Wuce took Artoria, who had changed into a formal suit, to the castle occupied by Barnett.

"Judging from the outer perimeter of the castle, which has regained tranquility, Barnett's knights should have put an end to this battle."

"Are we late?" Looking at the ruined castle, Artoria's eyes were filled with regret and loss at her failure to help others.

"Not necessarily, Leah. Maybe Barnett left some alive as a hostage? At least until you see the results with your own eyes, you have to have some hope, even if it's unrealistic......" Qi Wuce lifted up the drooping hair, and straightened Artoria's messy hair in front of his forehead.

"Anyway, let's go to the castle and investigate carefully, even if there is only one survivor, our trip will not be in vain."

Human life is a very heavy thing, if you help casually, you can make these precious things continue in the world, Qi Wuyou will not be stingy with his help.

Artoria gladly acceded to Qi Wuce's proposal, and she didn't make her own suggestion, because she was just a fledgling knight compared to the experienced ones of Qi Wuce and Kai.

More often than not, Artoria prefers to close her mouth, carefully think about the way Qi Wuce and others do things in her heart, summarize the pros and cons, and learn the good side for self-improvement.

Fearing for the safety of others, Artoria and Qi Wuce infiltrated the castle.

"Tsk, this kind of destructive power looks really terrifying."

Passing by the city wall that was torn in half by brute force, Qi Wuce couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, and at the same time, he also had a better understanding of Barnett's strength in his heart.

Watching the thick walls of more than ten meters high being split in half like butter, Artoria was worried and even terrified in her heart.

Is that kind of enemy really something she can deal with now? Is there nothing to do with such a terrible enemy? If she can't cope with it, wouldn't she be harmed by her own decision, Qi Wuru, who has been helping her?

Too often, Artoria would unintentionally show her inner thoughts on her face, and Qi Wuce could know the other party's thoughts without even deliberately using words to probe them.

"You don't have to be too surprised, Leah, sooner or later you will be able to do the same thing, until you can be on your own, me, Merlin, and Ektor are all people you can rely on."

Qi Wuce didn't mention Kai, because in his eyes, Kai was not only mentally mature, but also in the beginning of growth like Artoria in terms of strength.

Unless that guy was pressed to the ground one day and couldn't fight back, he couldn't have worked as hard as Artoria until he died. This is Qi Wuce's evaluation of Kai, which has been the same for several years and has never changed.

While Artoria was moving, Qi Wuce touched the soft golden retriever again, and Artoria with the smooth golden hair was like a fluffy little animal, which made Qi Wuce a little in love.

Squinting, Artoria enjoyed the intimacy that came from Qi Wuce, the warmth of the palm always restored peace to her restless heart, of course, she would never be so docile if it involved dull hair.

"Let's go, let's go find the dungeon or something like the castle first, if anyone else isn't dead, they should all be imprisoned there."

Motioning for Artoria to follow him, Qi Wuru turned on his magic sense, and after confirming that there were no signs of knight patrols around, he led Artoria to sneak into the castle along the rift.

Dungeon dungeon, since it is a dungeon, it must be set underground. Qi Wuce had been to many castles, except that they were decorated with different locks, but the basic structure of each castle was similar.

Especially the prison cells, which were used as prisons, every castle without exception had such an important facility built on the ground floor.

The interior of the castle was dim, and even in broad daylight there were torches lit here and there on the walls of the aisles. Occasionally, the window is just a little light in the dim aisle to guide people in the direction of progress, this era is still too far away from the appearance of transparent glass, and the lighting of the building is naturally not too good.

The hallway was empty, except for the flickering light of the fire, save for the breathing of Artoria and Qi Wuce that they could hear each other.

"Do you smell it?"

"Smelled!"

Her expression became solemn, and the smell of blood from somewhere in the aisle irritated her nose and lowered Artoria's mood.

"The smell is from here, and it should be a dungeon from here."
