When the private soldiers of the nobles defending the city and the militia of the besieging side of the city were in a battle, the gates of the inner city wall were very abruptly opened from the inside, so the siege of the inner city wall of Boniguez ended faster than expected, and the Boniguez militia led by Arroyo took control of the tower without paying much damage.

As for the dozen or so Nightborn killers brought by Freel from the Baron's Castle - when the elite of the Brotherhood, led by Arno Altaïr, rose to the occasion from the militia army led by Arroyo, these professional assassins were unable to take advantage of their old rivals, and eventually had to retreat to the Baron's Castle with the fall of the castle.

And the Baron's Castle in Singel, when the inner walls of Boenigs were captured, the aristocratic castle that had once seemed as high as a mountain in the eyes of the common people of Boenigs was now no longer so impassable, and was already close at hand.

After the siege of the inner city wall was over, it didn't take long for Raymond to find Arroyo, who was riding a horse and leading his army into the city, in front of the open inner city gate. Carrying his curved sword, he clung to the wall in his hand from anemia and looked up at the young thief who was probably considered "Baron Torrenster" by everyone, and looked at the Brotherhood and the Bunigs militia that followed him.

The eyes of the two young men quickly met. After noticing Raymond, Arroyo looked back and motioned for Arno and Scott to take care of the scene for the time being, and then dismounted and walked out of the team with the blood girl Ferrandon beside him.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Raymond looked blankly at Arroyo, who had come to him with Ferrandon, and said casually.

"I didn't think I was coming." Arroyo shrugged, "But who knows what crazy I'm doing?" For the sake of justice? Perhaps. ”

After the words fell, he raised his head to look at the sky, but found that the night sky above his head was blocked by the arch of the city gate, and he helplessly lowered his neck and turned his head sideways to look at Ferrandon beside him.

Ferrandon's red hair and eyes saw nothing to be afraid of in his eyes. As if to untie a knot, and with the encouragement and support of the blood girl, after learning that the Brotherhood of Thieves had actually been plotting for a long time tonight to help the local people of Boenigles overthrow the tyrannical rule of Baron Singer, he was relieved to hold the coat of arms of the Durien family and became the leader of the battle with the support of Arno Altaïr.

Previously, according to Arno, the senior members of the Brotherhood's decision-making body called the "Great Revolution" the lofty ideals they had planned for the organization, and tried to call on the suffering people of the west coast of St. Flen to unite and fight for their most basic interests in food and clothing and human rights under the feudal order. Boenigs was one of the Brotherhood's chosen sites for the early revolution, and if this grand plan were to be placed on another plane, Fein knew that this chain of events would lead to the Brotherhood of Thieves attracting the attention of the nobility for the first time in the West Coast of St. Flen's Sea, ushering in a catastrophe or challenge that would inevitably be faced by the Brotherhood of Thieves on the west coast of St. Fren's Sea.

As a native of Ferdia, Arroyo was unsure of how the plan would affect the future, but he was willing to trust the organization that he had approved of and volunteered to join, and that the Brotherhood's original purpose of "uniting the needy" had not yet been corrupted by time.

In addition, another important reason why he still led the people of Boenigs to uncover Singer as a leader with the assistance of Arno is probably that he really no longer wants to use caution as an excuse to avoid the difficulties he needs to face.

Maybe it was Raymond's previous sentence "Finn will not be as timid and afraid as you" that stimulated him, or maybe it was Ferrandon's previous sentence "People always have to grow, and there are some things you can't escape for a lifetime" that woke him up, this young thief who was always afraid of chaos in everything was finally fed up with his cowardice in that moment that night.

So, whether it was for the ideals of the Brotherhood, or for the sake of retrieving the exiled half-elf girl Tina from Singler, or for the sake of the thief boy named Arroyo himself, this time, even if he was hard-headed, he chose to come here and not back down.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side: "Your Excellency Baron Torrenst, we found this man in the control room of the castle tower. According to him, he was the one who helped us open the gates. ”

Arroyo, Ferrandon, and Raymond looked over and saw a middle-aged man with a teenager and several militiamen holding a half-elf blind man walking towards him.

"I have an impression of you." Arroyo turned to look at the middle-aged man who spoke to him, "In the battle just now, I saw you use a wood axe to force back several enemy soldiers, and it seems that you also temporarily led a squad to organize a successful skirmish...... What is your name? ”

"Crown." The middle-aged man kowtowed to Arroyo, "I used to be a mercenary in the coastal area of the St. Furon Sea, and the people in the regiment called me Cronde, who threw axes. I'm good at the combat skills expected of a mercenary, as well as the tactical command of a little skirmish, and I am honored to have the attention of adults. ”

"Is this your child?" After receiving Crown's answer, Arroyo looked at the boy who was following Crowne.

"He's my nephew, named Randy." "His parents are gone," Clonde replied, "because of the brute...... So I have to protect him. ”

As the words fell, the muscular man seemed to remember something, then sighed, turned his head sideways and gently scared little Randy's thin shoulders. Although the young man named Randy shouted the most before the battle, after seeing the real white-knuckle battle scene, he now probably understood that the truth of real knives and real guns and bayonets is by no means just talking, and he has not recovered from the discomfort of ten minutes ago for a while, so he seems to be a little nervous at this time, for fear that he will make some immature reckless performance.

After asking Clonde a little about him and Randy, Arroyo made an impression of the uncle and nephew, and then motioned for a few men behind Clonde to bring the half-elf blind man they had captured.

The captured blind-eyed half-elf was none other than Frere.

Arroyo watched as Freel was escorted in front of him by two militiamen, one left and one right, and then looked at his unfocused heterochromatic pupils and asked, "Who are you and what do you have to do with Singler?" I've heard that you opened the gates, and even though it's good for me, why would you do it? ”

"My name is Frerell. Freel Elson, a blind half-elf blind man, wanders to the side of Lord Singler. Freire also "looked" at Arroyo with his auditory sense of direction, "As for the reason for opening the gates, it is to meet fate, Lord Arroyo." ”

"You know my name?" Hearing Frerell's answer, Arroyo's eyes suddenly froze, "And fate...... What are you trying to express? ”

"My innate ability is called the Prophet's Eye, and my scientific name is Eye, Foreknowledge." Freire smiled slightly, his face not at all uneasy as a captive should have, "Thanks to my natural ability, although I am blind, I have the privilege of spying on fate. I can't see what is in front of me, but I can see the future of myself and the world around me. ”

"But what does that have to do with the question I asked you?" Arroyo frowned slightly, "You haven't answered me yet, why did you betray your lord to open the city to meet the enemy?" ”

"Because you're the chosen one, my lord." The smile on Freel's face became more confident, even a little fanatical, "You are the one chosen by fate, so I keep an eye on you and know you and your companions around me. ”

"Do you think I'm going to believe you?"

"Fate tells me that you must get rid of Baron Singler before you question me, and when you get rid of Baron Singel, you will inevitably believe me because of another incident. Under the arrangement of fate, all this is in order, and it is all taken for granted. ”

"But before deciding whether to trust him or not, we should probably ask him to explain how he pulled the lever to open the gates under the noses of the soldiers on duty." Ferrandon reminded Arroyo from the side at the right time, and then examined Freir with her blood-red eyes, which would turn red in a state of madness, to find a hole in the fox-like cunning half-elf poet's face.

It's just a pity, I don't know if it's because I can't see it, or because the poet's psychological quality is as strong as a diamond, the expression on Freel's face is still unhurried, and then he said with a little sigh: "Oh, beautiful Lady Ferrandon, and the future Blood Sword Saint...... As fate would have it, you have come here with Lord Arroyo. ”

In the next second, as soon as his words fell, Raymond immediately heard a word from his words that he cared about very much, and immediately opened his eyes and asked him: "Wait, what do you call me?" ”

"The Blood Sword Saint of the future." Freil replied, "Or, rather, Lord Raymond, who is about to remove the prefix 'future' and truly become the Sword Saint of Blood." ”

"Hmph, don't flatter me with your pandering mouth to Singler." Raymond stared at the nervous-speaking half-elf poet and pursed his mouth disdainfully, "You just have to explain how you dealt with this unlucky ghost, and tell me why you called me by the nickname Blood Sword Saint." ”

"In that case, let me explain my actions first, Miss Ferrandon, Lord Raymond, Lord Arroyo." Frell thought for a moment and decided to dispel Arroyo, Ferrandon, and Raymond's concerns about him to some extent, "If you are not unreasonable, then please at least believe me, at that time, there was only one noble private soldier left in the control room guarding the control post of the city gate. It didn't take much to deal with a nobleman's private soldier who wasn't in a very stable mental state, and I used a little hypnotic trick on him to deal with him. This explanation may be a bit far-fetched, but the reality has proven that what I am doing is completely beneficial to you, so it makes no sense for you to dwell on this little detail, does it? ”

"And what about the Blood Sword Saint you mentioned?" Arroyo raised his hand and pinched his chin in thought, then glanced sideways at Raymond, and then asked Freil, "What does this have to do with Raymond?" ”

"Regarding this, it is because of the innate ability that His Excellency Raymond has just awakened, and the academic name is [Blood Whetstone]." Freire turned his eyes to Raymond, "Of course, Lord Raymond himself has probably already noticed his new ability, but he doesn't know the specific function of this ability at this time, right?" ”

"......" Raymond looked at Freil with a deep sigh, not speaking, but also not denying it.

From Raymond's silence, Frell seemed to be able to see through the slightest wavering in his heart, so he continued to say to him: "Please don't worry, Lord Raymond, your natural ability is indeed a bit special compared to a human, but this is only a special exception, not a criminal accusation that your blood is dirty. Trust your heart, the Blood/Whetstone is just your tool, it can sharpen your sword arc into the sharpest blade the moment you swing your sword arc to slash your enemy. In addition, the arc sword is an exclusive weapon for the Eastern warriors made by the Far Eastern blacksmiths, and you need to pay attention to the fact that you need to use the oriental mind to correct the swordsmanship you are using in the future, rather than self-doubt because you find that your natural abilities are related to the vampire clan. ”

With that, he deliberately closed his mouth and paused, as if he had deliberately paused to notice Raymond's reaction.

Half a day-

"What about the vampire?" Raymond pursed his lips and asked him, "Aren't you able to spy on fate?" Tell me where he is. ”

"The vampire who kidnapped the child is named Gascol, an old Blood Count from the Valley of the Ravens." Freire could certainly hear who Raymond was referring to by vampires, "Gascoll has come to represent the Queen of the Bloods, Cosette, from within the human realm to find allies to work with, and Baron Singler is one of his current targets, and he is now staying in an alchemy laboratory that Baron Singler has converted for him in the castle. ”

"Is Tina with him?" Raymond asked.

"Of course they are together, after all, the blood of the elves is a rare alchemy material on the shores of the St. Furren Sea, and Gascoll happens to be studying the relevant knowledge of blood alchemy. If the future I foresaw was correct, you and Lord Arroyo entered the castle and walked alone down the stairs on the left side of the hall to the end of the corridor on the second floor, thus retrieving the child you hold dear. Freire patiently provided Raymond with the information he knew, "In addition to that, on the way to the route that you will be offered below, you will pass through a small warehouse for storing medicines before reaching Gascoll's alchemy laboratory. At that point, don't hesitate to break down the door, the guards in the castle and the Nightspawn killers will be deserted due to Baron Singler's escape plan, and you will get a few bottles of Advanced Life Potions in that small warehouse, which will be used to replenish the amount of HP you have to pay for using the [Blood・Whetstone] talent in the duel with Gascol. ”

"What about the rest of us? What do we see next in the future? Arroyo asked him again.

"The duel between Gascoll and Lord Raymond will end in Lord Raymond's victory, and Lord Arroyo, you will lead your army into the castle of Zingler, and finally succeed in catching up with him who has abandoned the city and fled." Freire replied to Arroyo's inquiry with his confident smile, "There will be no surprises in this process, with the advantage of the people's will, you have a good chance of winning, and the fallen baron who colluded with the blood clan is like a turtle in an urn, and there is no escape." ”

"I have written down what you said, and the facts will prove whether what you say is true or not." Arroyo nodded.

Then, he motioned to the Boenigs militiamen to keep an eye on Freil, and then exchanged a few words with Raymond, and then returned to the large army with Ferrandon, preparing to lead the troops into the Baron's castle, which was already close at hand...... (To be continued.) )
