Chapter 122: A Thousand Shadows' Paranoia
Redstone Fortress, Audience Hall.
Baron Heinrich examined the body of Will Knight with a gloomy face.
As a powerful golden swordsman, Baron Heinrich was naturally able to easily discern the source of the injuries on Will Knight's body. There were only some marks from the impact on the shield and armor, and the body was also intact, with only some scars from rolling down the mountain trail, and no obvious knife wounds.
"You say Will Knight was hacked to death by a sword?" Baron Heinrich looked at the kneeling soldiers next to him.
"Yes, yes." The soldier bowed his head.
"Are you sure?"
"The woman did use a sword." The soldier gestured in his hand, "Very thin, very thin sword." ”
Baron Heinrich looked at the corpse and frowned slightly: "Tell me the details." ”
Soldier: "The woman tried to run, but Lord Will rushed forward with her shield in hand. Then the woman suddenly turned around, took a pose, drew her sword, and appeared behind Lord Will. The process in the middle was too fast for me to see. ”
Baron Heinrich looked at the other soldiers: "Is that so?" ”
"Yes, sir." Another soldier nodded hurriedly, "That woman suddenly appeared behind the knight, and the knight suddenly fell. I only saw her sword close, and it seemed to be some very powerful sword skill. ”
Baron Heinrich looked at the scholar standing aside: "What do you think, Criff?" ”
"Will Knight is a heavily armored knight, and it is not easy to break through Will Knight's defenses head-on, and there are no sword wounds on the knight's armor. Originally, I thought that the enemy killed Will Knight with some kind of necromancy that directly consumed life, but if the opponent used a sword skill...... Either the sword technique is just a camouflage effect of magic, or ...... There was something wrong with the weapon she used. ”
"Weapons?" Baron Heinrich couldn't help but touch the broad-bladed sword on his waist, "What weapon can ignore the shield and armor and kill a knight directly?" ”
"Maybe that woman's weapon is also a treasure." The scholar looked at the sword at the baron's waist, "I don't think anyone knows the magical power of the Noble Phantasm better than you. ”
The treasure is the embodiment of the legend of the legendary powerhouse, and it is the miracle of materialization.
Noble Phantasms were born at the hands of legendary powerhouses, but the use of Noble Phantasms is not so demanding. As long as you get the approval of the Noble Phantasm, you can use the Noble Phantasm even at the gold level; If it is a direct blood descendant of the original owner of the Noble Phantasm, the requirements for use will be lower, and some families may even be recognized by the Noble Phantasm as soon as they are born - such as the "Lionheart" of the royal family of the Kingdom of Palomia; The Queen of the Northlands' "Endless Ice Bow" and so on.
In a sense, the "Noble Phantasm" is the heirloom of every aristocratic family. Those great nobles who can be passed down for thousands of years are all legendary families with "family heirlooms".
The scholar looked at the broad-edged sword at Baron Heinrich's waist. It was also a treasure, but it did not come from the baron's family, but the baron had acquired it by accident. As a golden swordsman who has been recognized by the Noble Phantasm, Baron Heinrich naturally knows the power of the Noble Phantasm.
"A treasure that ignores defenses? It's the trickiest type for knights. Baron Heinrich frowned slightly, "Is it the lucky one who got the treasure by chance?" Or a legendary descendant with legendary blood? ”
"I guess it's the former. There are only three legendary families in the kingdom that possess Noble Phantasms that ignore defenses, and they do not match the age or appearance of their targets. ”
"What about the possibility of foreigners?"
"Northboy is a nation of immigrants, and with a lot of territory to be recovered in the north, the Queen will not refuse to join anyone with a Noble Phantasm. But this year, apart from the new lords of the Valley of Miracles, no foreign nobles joined. ”
Baron Heinrich thought for a moment, then turned to the guards and asked, "Do you know why that woman suddenly attacked us?" ”
"I—We don't know. That woman was killed all of a sudden......"
"Who first came into contact with that woman?"
Everyone looked at the guard, whose left hand had been cut off.
"I—I don't know." The severed guard spoke in alarm.
Baron Heinrich raised his eyebrows: "Tell the truth! What really happened then? ”
"I ...... I just went over to check, and the woman suddenly attacked, killing people indiscriminately, and that's how it turned out after that. The guard explained in horror.
The baron stared at the guards: "Look at me! ”
The guard looked up in horror and looked at the baron.
The baron stared at the guard's eyes for a moment, then turned to the scholar and asked, "What do you think about this, Master Cliff?" ”
The scholar took a deep look at the guard, then turned to the baron and said, "Everything has happened, we need to give an explanation to the family of Knight Will." We should issue a wanted warrant to the surrounding lords and keep an eye out for the woman at the same time. A murderer with a treasure is very dangerous. ”
"I remember Will Knight had two more children?"
"Yes." The scholar instantly understood the baron's thoughts, "The knight's young son is almost old enough to go to school. ”
"Hmm...... Send that kid to college. The cost is at my expense. ”
"Yes."
……
Dozens of kilometers away from the Redstone Fortress, Green placed a hood over Thousand Shadows' head: "Come, put this on the cover." ”
Chikage hid himself in his cloak: "Master, did I do something wrong?" ”
Green smiled wryly: "That guard wants to take advantage of you, you interrupted his groping hand, I don't have a problem with this, but why did you suddenly run to cut down other guards?" ”
"That guard, want to attack the master!"
"Hmm...... The soldier couldn't beat me. Didn't we make an agreement before? The targets I can defeat, even if they are hostile to me, will be dealt with by me, you just need to inform me in advance. ”
Chikage: "Master, you are weak now, and that guard is enough to threaten your life. ”
"Woo-goo......"
Green left the "Demon King's Heart" in the camp, so his combat power plummeted. The heart and body, as long as one of them is built, Grimm can be resurrected, and it is obviously safer to be separated, but this also causes the combat effectiveness of Grimm's body to be drastically reduced.
Chikage was clearly not worried about Green's current state. But for Qianying's behavior of cutting people without saying a word, Green can't indulge.
"Chikage, I can understand your intentions. But if you cut people like this, you will put me in danger. Green tried to convince the girl in front of her, "Killing people also has to pay attention to ways and methods." ”
The girl hesitated for a moment: "Master, I don't understand. Isn't it right to kill all the enemies? ”
This one...... Logically seems to be fine?
Green frowned slightly, and thought for a moment, thinking about how he could convince the "paranoid" maid in front of him.
Even madmen have their own logic. Green couldn't understand the madman's logic, but he was able to sort out the logic of the paranoid maid in front of him.
"Because you can't kill all the enemies." Green tried to convince her based on Chikage's way of thinking, "If you can kill the gods, whatever you want, I'm okay with that." But you can't win against the gods, and you can't win the gods in the world, so killing people indiscriminately will only make me unlucky. If you anger the gods, you will die or not, I don't know, but I do! ”
Hearing Green's words, a dazed and overwhelmed expression appeared on Chikage's face. But after a while, the girl seemed to figure out something!
"Master, that is, if I can kill the gods, it will be fine, right?"
!!?
Green didn't know how to complain: "Hmm...... If you really can kill even gods, then no matter what you do, it's fine. ”
"I see, master." The girl's eyes sparkled, "I know what to do." ”
???
I don't understand what you understand!
Green had a sense of foreboding: "Can you tell me, do you understand something?" ”
"I'm going to kill all the gods!"
Hearing the words of this middle two, Green felt powerless.
“…… Ah, come on. "But until you kill all the gods, please don't kill people indiscriminately, and pull hatred on me." ”
Hearing Green's words, Chikage suddenly calmed down and nodded weakly: "I...... Got it. ”
