Act41 The Fruit of Hatred

How could it be that an unknown young man suddenly appeared, and his strength and talent were far superior to that of Young Master Fred?

If it weren't for the adjutant Eugene's steady temperament and never open his mouth, he would have been eager to wipe his hands with this piece of letterhead, but Eugene specially reported this one. ?n?en????.? r?a?n?? e?na`c?o?m?

If it was really an awakened first-order powerhouse in his twenties, he was indeed worthy of the Iris Knights and Count Wolf's recruitment, and when he thought of this, he immediately felt the need to report this matter to Lord Earl.

Leaving the Order's station, Brant mounted his horse and made his way to the Lord's mansion.

……

"For a mercenary captain who has already signed a contract and received a portion of the commission, this is a commitment, and it is also a matter of credit."

"Oh, but that sounds like some excuse. I mean, Gross, do you have any concerns? ”

Gross's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and Fred couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this

He didn't think that his offer would be rejected at all, although the young man in front of him did not make a clear statement, but the content of his words already carried a hint of shirk.

He shook his head in disappointment, but continued to persuade him.

Talent is valuable!

The aristocracy, especially the Northland nobles who had experienced the "Fog Pine War", knew this even more.

An awakened first-order powerhouse in his early twenties, serving as the leader of a mercenary group, surrounded by a number of powerful companions, and at the same time, he also worked as a bandit leader for a period of time, although he is notorious in the Talon region, but this also shows that his ability is not bad......

There is no doubt that such talents are extremely rare.

"Well, maybe I'm talking about these things too hastily now, but I still hope Gross will think about it......"

After saying this, Fred was about to leave the table, but just as he turned around, he heard an unexpected sound that was not loud, but it clearly fell into his ears, and he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

Almost no one reacted, except Evans, who looked at the scene not far away and forgot to continue chewing on the delicious food in his mouth

It was a well-smoked chicken thigh, half of which was biting into his mouth, the other half of the bone was exposed, and the shiny oil juice was dripping on his clothes and clean tablecloth.

"Gross, Lord Randall is greeting you!"

A short sword, one of the standard equipment of the Knights of the Irises Knights. The dagger snorted cold light and stabbed silently into Gross's waist from behind

As Andrea's suitor, Viduka knew the mood of the Knight Commander of Cumberland very well at this time, and he was not used to comforting him with words, so he had to put it into action.

Fortunately, his mind was not completely fainted, he knew that this young mountain man had extremely strong personal strength, and if he challenged or directly confronted according to the normal procedures of the knight's opinion, he would not have any chance at all, so he chose to sneak attack secretly.

For the reputation of the knight, this is already a shameful act.

But Viduka didn't care.

The thought that this might make the Knight of Combron a little happier, and that his sweetheart Andrea would smile at him, made him feel that it was all worth it.

No one wore armor at the banquet.

Even if he is a strong man who has stepped into the first level of awakening, his body is still fresh and fragile flesh and blood.

Clenching the dagger, Viduka's fingers could clearly feel the sharp blade piercing through the skin.

The young mountaineer turned half of his body to the side, and he saw a bright red rose suddenly appear under the white shirt of the other man's coat.

The pain feels so real!

Gross didn't expect to be assassinated at the banquet where he met Fred for the first time, he didn't have time to think too much, but his body had already subconsciously fought back.

Draw your sword!

His right hand pulled out the sacred frost long sword from the scabbard on the left side of the hanging belt, and the silver blade let out a long roar, which suddenly made the air a little colder, and what caught people off guard was that this was not only a simple sword drawing action, but with the unsheath of the long sword, a white sword visible to the naked eye suddenly spread out in a fan.

An advanced sword drawing slash with sword qi released.

Snort

The one-foot-square dining table was split in half, and the incision was as smooth as a mirror.

Blood splattered!

Fred's body trembled suddenly, and several loyal knights stopped in front of him, fortunately, the target of the sword was not Fred himself, and these knights were not too seriously injured, and the initiator, Viduka, was about to continue the surprise attack, but the sword light had already penetrated his sword-holding arm.

Cracks in the arm bones.

Bang Dang! Half of the arm is dropped along with the dagger.

Blood gushes like a fountain!

His forehead immediately broke out with beads of sweat the size of beans, but he didn't retreat half a step, he stood still, letting the blood stain the floor of the hall red, and his red eyes were staring at Gross with hatred.

"Who is Randall?"

Gross looked calm, and he had killed a lot in the past few days, but he had never been interested in asking the names of the dying people.

Unfortunately, once the seeds of hatred are sown, they will not stop growing because they are neglected, but will only grow and eventually turn into a poisonous fruit.

Cause and effect.

Gross could not help but think that the noble knight he had killed in the defense of the Ampton mines would have a true Avenger today.

The atmosphere of laughter and laughter before the banquet suddenly ceased to exist, and the ground became tense, "Redbeard" Red, Scott, Levine, and Oliver stood by Gross's side with their swords drawn, Miss Mage immediately performed a miniature version of [Frost Technique] to stop the bleeding from Gross's waist wound, and Paine picked up little Nuno and retreated to the corner.

At this moment, it can be said that there is a sudden change.

"Randall? Isn't that the eldest son of Lord Cumberland? ”

Fred wondered, but he quickly fell silent, and he finally remembered something he knew

A few months earlier, Randall, the eldest son of the Knight Chief Cumberland Jeffrey, had gone to the Ampton mines in the Nogo Mountains to exterminate the bandits, but was unexpectedly defeated and killed. If the person who fought with Randall was the "wolf head" Gross in front of him, then, in comparison with the absolute strength gap, Randall's defeat could not be said to be any accident.

Just now, he had tried to recruit the young mountain man, and even if he had engaged in a despicable bandit, he had no intention of bothering about it.

Viduka's face was already distorted in pain, and his fellow knights had already urgently bandaged his broken arm. It took Fred a few seconds to figure it out, but he couldn't say anything more for a while
