Night, Lionheart, Lion's Castle.

The day after tomorrow, the young son of the old city lord, Young Master Elok, will ascend the throne. So these days the night is very critical, if there is any accident that will happen, then it is most likely that these days have happened.

After the enthronement ceremony, the overall situation has been decided, and the pressure will be much less.

The outer walls of the Lion Castle were covered with soldiers, and every hundred meters there were Force warriors who transformed into giant eagles, crouching on the walls, scanning the city with their sharp gaze.

The defense strength in the castle is also undiminished, layer upon layer of defense, all the way to the most central castle, which is really as tight as an iron barrel.

The current general is Mendel, he is just forty this year, first followed the former general Gris, and then the old city lord, many years of war, the prestige in the army is extremely high, and his own talent is extremely high, to this day, the strength has surpassed the peak level of Gris, and even the old city lord who passed away is not much different, is the first strong man in Lionheart City.

These days, he is also doing his best, taking only four hours of rest every day, and the rest of the time he follows Elok's side, for fear of accidents.

At this time, too, at dinner time, Mendel dined with Young Master Elok and Lady Estherode, and he sat beside Young Master Elok, in this position, he could react immediately and protect Young Master Elok.

Seeing that he had always looked like he was facing a great enemy, Madame Eschride was a little unimpressed: "General Mendel, don't you think you have overreacted a little? This is the Lion's Castle. ”

The daughter of the lady of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the daughter of a typical merchant, is very beautiful. At the age of thirty-six, the charm is still undiminished; Very shrewd. You can get a glimpse of it from her slightly sharp Danfeng eyes. In her opinion. This Mendel was so cautious that he was really suspicious of being a showman.

"Madam, the Lion Castle cannot stop the truly strong. Master Eru is just missing, and no one knows where he is now? What are you doing? I'm just doing this just in case. Mendel's expression was indifferent, he was optimistic about Young Master Ellock, thinking that this young man could take over the position of the old city lord, but it did not mean that he also liked this lady.

"What if he's not missing? My husband has left a clear will. The most honorable woman in the entire city of Lionheart smirked coldly. She knew, however, that Mendel would do her son no harm in doing so. So I stopped in moderation, and after saying this, I enjoyed my own dinner.

The atmosphere of the dinner was not very congenial. After dinner, Mendel escorted Master Ellock to his bedroom.

On the way, Elok, who had been silent, suddenly said fiercely: "If Eru's waste comes back, I will definitely let him taste my strength." He likes to read, so I'll burn his books in front of him, hehe. Who made him a badass? ”

Mendel frowned and persuaded, "Young Master Elok, Young Master Eru is not worthy of being your opponent. There is no point in humiliating him. ”

"My mother said he was a bad person, a bastard born of that slut! I don't like him either. My father always smiled at him, but he always scolded me! "Say and talk. Elok, who was only ten years old, showed a cruelty on his face, which was not common at his age, he raised his head and looked at Mendel fixedly: "General, I am the lord of this city, the master of this qiē, I can do whatever I want, whoever dares to stop me, I will cut off his head with a sword!" ”

With that, without waiting for Mendel to reply, the boy took a few quick steps into the bedroom, and then slammed the bedroom door shut.

"It's such a grumpy little thing that you know it's threatening me." Mendel smiled bitterly: "But the city lord should have a tough character." It would be good if he grew up and understood things. ”

As the number one powerhouse in Lionheart, he didn't care about this small threat. Because he knew that if this young man wanted to sit firmly in the position of city lord, he had to rely on his strength. Even if he really wanted to kill him when his brain was broken, the warriors would not listen to his orders.

He was confident in his own strength and prestige, so he was able to take it in stride, whether it was Lady Ace or the soon-to-be-enthroned Lord of Elok.

Shaking his head and sighing, Mendel sat down on the bench next to the bedroom door, and became a makeshift guard.

He was patient, and just sat quietly, sword in hand, eyes closed. The few guards around him didn't dare to quarrel with him, and they held their breath one by one, trying not to make a sound.

Time passed slowly, and the lion castle, which had been noisy for a day, slowly quieted down. In the end, only Ellock was left in the young master's bedroom, and there were constant sounds, footsteps, weeping, whipping, etc., which reached Mendel's ears at all.

When he was not working, Alok liked to whip his maids with a leather whip, which was one of his great habits. Generally speaking, a maid can last for a month, and then she has to be replaced, otherwise she will be whipped to death. Of course, a month is only an estimate, and there are occasional surprises.

It is usually the rule that the more beautiful and weak the girl, the more Elok likes to be whipped, and the shorter the time for such a girl to last, and as Elok's strength continues to increase, this time will become shorter and shorter.

For Mendel, however, this was just a small fetish of the aristocracy, which everyone had, and some of which were even very appalling.

For example, the lord of Erinburg likes to eat human flesh, and it is baby meat, preferably newborn, because this city lord believes that the flesh and blood of babies can prolong his life, and for more than thirty years, this old guy has eaten at least a thousand babies, and has also earned the title of an ogre.

In comparison, Master Elok only killed a few slave maids, which is really not a big deal, and when it is not enough, he can go to the slave market to buy it. A slave is not worth a few dollars.

Young Master Elok seemed to be particularly energetic today, and the sound of whips and cries and begs for mercy in the room was very loud. The sound lasted for more than half an hour, and the crying eventually disappeared, leaving only the sound of whipping.

After a while, the whipping also died down, and the bedrooms opened, and a bloodied girl was dragged out, and through the girl's torn clothes, it could be seen that her skin was almost broken. When she was dragged, her body was limp and she didn't have the slightest strength, she should have swallowed her breath.

"Looks like there was an accident today." Mendel looked at the girl's corpse and was indifferent.

"Emile, Lily, clean up the room, I'm tired, I need to rest." From the bedroom, Master Elok roared angrily.

"Yes, young master." The maid trembled in response.

There was another sound in the bedroom, it was the maid cleaning up the room, and it was slowly resting, and it was estimated that the people inside had already rested. Mendel also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid of something unexpected in the chaotic sound just now.

After that, the castle fell completely silent, and Mendel sat motionless at the doorway of his bedroom. As the minutes ticked by, and more than half an hour later, a very small voice suddenly reached Mendel's ears.

'Huh? He became instantly alert, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword at his waist, and he listened with bated breath.

After about a dozen seconds, there was another 'click' in the direction of the end of the hallway, so small that it was almost impossible to distinguish, but it did not escape Mendel's ears.

Mendel immediately stood up and said to one of the Force fighters beside him, "You go over and have a look." ”

"Yes, General." The warrior nodded, drew his sword, and cautiously walked towards the end of the hallway, while Mendel watched intently behind him.

Step by step, the warrior walked by, his speed getting slower and slower, his expression becoming more and more solemn, and it was evident that he also felt that something was wrong, and Mendel's heart slowly rose.

Finally, when the warrior reached the end of the corridor, his demeanor suddenly relaxed, the sword in his hand also hung down, he waved his hand at Mendel, and smiled easily: "General, there's nothing here, no, someone has just stayed"

He suddenly realized that something was wrong and screamed, and at that moment, Mendel suddenly saw the warrior's body shake violently, and the whole person twisted in an instant, crashing into the wall behind him.

There was a muffled 'bang', and the warrior's flesh and blood smashed directly into the wall, and the flesh and blood splattered everywhere!

"Master!" Mendel was so shocked that instead of pursuing, he quickly turned around, kicked open the door of Master Ellock, and rushed in with his foot.

His first duty is to protect Master Elok before he captures the Assassins! Now, he must guarantee the absolute safety of Master Elok.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a dark figure rushing towards Young Master Elok, who was lying on the bed, at an unimaginable speed.

The two maids in the room have special identities, they have also swallowed the Force Seed, and they have also practiced martial arts, at this time the maid has already taken out her weapons and desperately blocked the path of the black shadow.

At this time, Mendel showed the bearing of a supreme master, his eyes were waveless, his mind was not moving, and in an instant, with all his strength, his whole body turned into a violent wind, and rushed straight towards the young master Elok who had been awakened on the bed.

"Puff" twice, in less than half a second, the two maids have been killed, but she has completed her mission and successfully bought time for Mendel.

Taking advantage of this time, Mendel grabbed the front of the black shadow, and the sword in his hand was full of cold light, one sword stabbed at the assassin, and the other hand was stretched out at the same time, and the other hand grabbed Young Master Elok and stopped him behind him.

"Guards!" Mendel roared, and the sound was heard far away, and the whole castle was shaken.

The first to rush into the bedroom were the Force warriors who had been guarding the doorway, there were three, one had just died, and the remaining two, and they rushed towards the dark shadow in the middle of the bedroom who was fighting Mendel. (To be continued......)
