Volume 1: The Lost El Dorado Chapter 51: Old Friends

When Carl heard that shout, he knew that something was wrong, and that someone from the Elizabethan family must have come to him. Although he didn't know what level of the Delvensy family was in Lin Si City, Carl understood that such noble families were all intertwined, and they were a big net with each other, and all the noble families were a knot in such a big net.

If you provoke a noble family, then there will definitely be a large number of noble families who will come to reason with you, after all, the glory of the nobility is inviolable.

Thinking of this, Karl gave up the idea of resolving the matter peacefully, and now Elizabeth's clothes are broken, even if she explains, the other party may not listen, so she will directly win the other party and then slowly theorize.

Sensing the danger coming from behind, Karl did not panic at all, and directly took out the shield with blood stains on the shield from the spatial ring. An extremely muffled voice echoed through the alley, and Karl took a blow from the Grand Knight Captain Eric.

The strange shield still helped Carl unload most of his power, so Eric's full force didn't do much damage to Carl.

Seeing that his attack was blocked, Eric showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect that this ordinary-looking adventurer in front of him would resist his attack with a shield.

"Who are you, and why did you do wrong to Miss Elizabeth?" Although he didn't know Carl's identity, Eric decided to be cautious about someone who could easily resist his own blow, so he wanted to know Carl's identity.

But Carl, who had made up his mind to fight first, did not answer Eric's question, but put away his shield, held a dagger, and launched an attack on Eric.

Looking at Karl, who had stepped on the alley wall and jumped up and lunged at him, Eric stopped the other two Oath Knights behind him, "Let me see how powerful this young adventurer is." You two bring the young lady back to the family first!" Preventing his men from intervening, Eric drew his sword, Ice, which had been with him for many years. As a believer in chivalry, every battle is worth his all-out fight. Because, to insult the enemy is to insult yourself.

"Huh...... ......The dagger slashed across the blade of the sword, bringing a burst of sparks. Karl, who had come in front of Eric, turned his body around his right hand and kicked Eric in the head.

"Bang. A dull sound of muscles colliding with muscles rang in Carl's ears, and there was no surprise to see Carl who was blocked by his attack. The dagger in his right hand pressed down directly, and then used his strength to get out of Eric's attack range.

"Young adventurer, your strength is strong and respectable. But......" Eric said, "you're far from being my match. ”

Eric roared, holding his sword in both hands, and a strong burst of energy erupted on Eric's body, rolling up the dust and rubble in the alley, making people unable to open their eyes. If it weren't for Elizabeth's protection from the two Knights of Oath, I'm afraid Eric's outburst would have been enough to hurt Elizabeth.

Although Eric hadn't attacked yet, this burst of energy alone had already made Carl a little uncomfortable. As the most powerful combat force on land and the pillar of force of many countries, knights have always been a symbol of strength and responsibility. When a knight is willing to become a knight of oaths, it means that the knight is willing to serve his master with all his body and soul. If a person's strength or status is prominent, then the strength of his Oath Knight will be even stronger.

As the sole heir to House Delvency, the Knights of Oath that Clavers chose for his daughter were of course one in a million. Chief Knight Eric was the last to swear allegiance to Elizabeth, and although he became the latest to become a Knight of Oath, Eric became the chief knight of Elizabeth's exclusive Knights, the Purple Rose Knights. And the original chief knight, Jokes, had no complaints. It's just because Eric is strong!

As for why the mighty Eric would willingly become Elizabeth's Knight of Oaths, no one knows why.

Although Karl really wanted to take advantage of the fact that the knight was not fast when he was not a war horse, relying on his agility to fight with Eric, but Eric's aura had locked Cal, leaving Karl with nowhere to hide and nowhere to go, but to fight head-on.

In desperation, Carl had no choice but to hold a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, preparing for a one-on-one duel with Eric.

"Young man, it's a good thing to know that it's not low, but it's stupid to go up hard!" Eric shouted angrily, and with his sword in both hands, he rushed towards Karl with an indomitable momentum like a heavy cavalry charge. Carl is like a rock in a torrent, trying to fight against the torrent that he can't stop!

"Bang!" Carl closed his eyes heavily as the sound of his body hitting the ground reached Carl's ears, and when the sharp pain in his body was swallowed up by the feeling of dizziness.

"Miss, your lord has asked you to return to the family!" said Eric, kneeling down on one knee in front of Elizabeth.

He ...... Is it okay?" asked Elizabeth, who looked a little unbearable, as she stared at Carl, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and asked Eric.

"Miss, please rest assured, I am very measured. I believe that with the strength of this adventurer, he will soon wake up. When the young lady returns to the family, I will send this adventurer to the Mercenary Association!"

"I see. Elizabeth glanced at Carl on the ground again and left the alley. Although she was reluctant to return to the family that had no fun, Elizabeth knew that when Eric came to her, it meant that her father's patience with her had reached the limit. There is no benefit in fighting against a father like that.

Seeing that Elizabeth was very cooperative with his return to the family, Eric let out a long sigh of relief. Luckily, Miss was very cooperative, and if she didn't want to go back, Eric really didn't know what to do.

Now Eric regrets it a little, if it weren't for that, Eric would still have preferred to go into battle and kill the enemy, which is much easier than serving Elizabeth.

Follow Elizabeth into the alley

At his mouth, Eric said to the other two knights who followed, "Joseph and Kamut, you two send that adventurer to the Mercenary Society. And tell Rust that I will visit this adventurer tomorrow. ”

"Yes, sir!"

After Eric had accompanied Elizabeth in the sumptuous carriage back to the House of Dervenzie, the two knights, named Joseph and Kamut, looked at me and I looked at you, and neither thought of lifting Carl up. In the end, it seemed that a compromise was reached, with one man raising his feet and one raising his head, and then throwing Karl onto the horse that had been left behind.

When Carl woke up, it was late at night. Seeing himself sleeping on a hardwood bed, Carl looked around and finally locked his gaze on the meal on the table.

Feeling the protest in his stomach, Carl endured the pain in his back and arms and sat down on the edge of the table. Picked up a piece of bread and took a bite. It seems that these meals should have been served very early, the bread was already hard, and even the thick soup on the side did not feel a trace of temperature.

However, when he goes out and can have something to eat, Carl is already very satisfied, not caring about the temperature and taste of the food. After gobbling up his stomach, Carl thought back to what had happened in the streets and alleys today, and roughly understood why he was here.

Looking at the decoration style of the room and the meals provided, Carl understood that the other party should have looked at his clothes and regarded himself as a mercenary, so he sent him to the mercenary association.

Although the heir cultivated by the Delvensey family is a delicate and willful person, Karl's sense of the Delvensey family is still good, after all, being able to send a strange adventurer to the mercenary association is enough to see the quality of the big family.

Carl put away the dishes briefly, lay down on the bed and began to think about the next journey. Since you live in the Mercenary Guild, you don't need to move to the Adventurers' Guild. And this place is still some distance from its destination, the ancient castle that Pete is talking about. Since the Cortiste family didn't set a time limit, it was a good time to inquire about the castle in this mixed castle.

The commission that Pete gave himself was simple, reach the castle and find an ancient sword from the castle to complete the mission. Although, I don't know why the Cortiste family went so far to release a mission, but Carl understood that the simpler the description, the less demanding the task was, the more dangerous it was.

In the face of such a task, it is necessary to find out the situation clearly, just in case.

Moreover, now that we have arrived at the Alverian Empire, then after the completion of the castle mission, can we go to the unknown mountain that the dwarves said, or do we wait for a while and go to the half-elf kingdom of Oressuan.

Just as Carl was thinking about these questions, there was a sudden knock at the door, "May I ask Mr. Carl, are you awake?" When he heard the sound of the knock outside a little familiar, Carl opened the door with a puzzled expression.

"Your Excellency Karl, please forgive me for interrupting me late at night. "Waco standing in the doorway

Sir Er said apologetically. "Good evening, Lord Karl. Cris, who was standing behind Sir Wacole, smiled at Karl.

"Praise the gods, Lord Sir and Lord Chris, I didn't expect to see you here!" Carl said in surprise. "Please come in quickly!"

"I wonder what is the health of Lord Karl?" said Sir Wacole with concern.

"It's no big deal. Call me Carl if you want!" Karl said with a smile.

"I don't know, how is Lord Colin doing?" Karl asked after taking his seat again.

After the ruins of Kuskes, Sir Wacole and Chris left first, and did not join up with Karl and the others. And the leader of the Greywater Mercenary Regiment, Bloody Hand Colin, has become a monster in the city of Anke in Moscow. So Carl was curious to know how Lord Kling was doing.

After hearing Karl's words, Sir Wacole and Chris exchanged glances, and Chris took the initiative to tell the two of them and Varys of the Explorers' Guild about their departure from the Golden Stage. As for the regimental commander, Colin, Sir Wacole only said a few words. Seeing that the other party was reluctant to say more, Carl also understood that Lord Colin's current state should not be very good.

"I don't know how Carl you passed out, but I saw the person who sent you to the guild today, it seems to be a knight of the Delvensey family. Did Carl provoke the Delvensi's family?" asked Chris as he sat aside and took the initiative to change the subject.

"I'm embarrassed to say, because I had a bit of a conflict with the knights of the House of Delvenzie, and as a result, I was knocked unconscious. Karl said with some smugness.

"With your strength, Karl, the knights of the Delvensey family are able to knock you unconscious. Do you know which knight it is, Carl, if it's the wolfdog Gondos, then Carl I advise you to leave the city of Woods quickly!" said Sir Wacole eagerly. "No, if it had been Gondos the wolfdog, then Carl wouldn't have been sent here. Gondos the Wolf Dog is cruel and shows no mercy to his enemies. ”

"Sir, don't guess. Although I haven't seen the wolfdog Gangdos you mentioned, I know for sure that the knight who knocked me out would certainly not be him. ”

"It's supposed to be Lord Eric!" Chris on the side said suddenly.

"Chris, how do you know?" asked Sir Wacole, for some unknown reason.

"Didn't you pay attention to the quests in the quest hall? there's a portrait of Carl on it!" Chris asked Carl with a solemn expression, "Carl, have you provoked someone you shouldn't have messed with recently, or have you coveted something?"

Subsequently, Chris told Carl all about the task that someone had issued in the Mercenary Association, collected information about Carl, and took over the mission with Elizabeth. "Looking at the task, it should be that the other party doesn't know you very well. At the same time, I am very jealous of something on you, so I will issue a mission to collect your intelligence!"

Could it be the vampire you encountered the other day?

Isn't it already gone?

"However, I didn't expect you to have a relationship with the little princess of the Delvensey family, and now no matter what the identity of the person investigating you is, as long as you are in Lin Si City, no one will dare to touch you!" Chris continued with a smile.

"Princess Elizabeth is notoriously adventurous in Lin Si City, and she took the initiative to find you trouble, probably because of this mission. I guess the reason why Lord Eric fought you is because you just defeated Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth, and Lord Eric happened to pass by, so he recognized you as a thief, Carl, am I right?"

"That's right, it's basically the same as Chris said, but wouldn't I be considered a bad person by the Delvensey family?" Karl was a little worried, no matter how he saw Elizabeth, the woman was not a good-tempered person, and in the alley, he also molested her, if she held a grudge and used the power of the Delvensey family against herself, it would be really a headache. You shouldn't have entangled too much with her in the first place, and it's best to leave directly.

"Carl, don't worry. Since Princess Elizabeth didn't bring you back to the Delvensey family on the spot, it means that you don't have anything to do. If I'm right, she'll come back to you. Chris explained, as if he knew what Carl was thinking.

"The relationship with the Delvensy family is easy to handle now, after all, they have a good reputation in Lin Si City. Carl, the most important question you should be concerned about right now should be who is asking for news from you!" Chris said as he stared meaningfully at Carl.

"I haven't provoked anyone lately! If I had to talk about potential enemies, I'm afraid it would be the vampire Count I met in the village of Butz outside Lin Si City a few days ago!"

Karl went along with Chris and Sir Wacole about his affairs in the village of Boots. Of course, Carl didn't say anything about Baker's child Arthur, nor about Ifrit's sudden appearance. It's just a brief description of how he helped a farmer defeat a vampire, and was retaliated by the vampire marquis because he relied on the power of the scroll to knock the other person back. "Maybe it's because this vampire marquis was defeated by me, so he holds a grudge and wants to take revenge on me. ”

Although he didn't tell the whole story, it wasn't that he didn't believe Sir Wacole and Chris, Carl just felt that it was his own business, and there was no need to involve the Greywater Mercenary Corps.

"The Loufans family?" After Chris read the name of the family several times, he turned to Carl and asked, "Carl, are you sure that the other party is a vampire of the Marquis's strength?"

"Well, I'm sure. With my strength, I still have the strength to fight against ordinary vampire counts. But the vampire I met at that time defeated me very easily. If it weren't for the large number of magic scrolls I have, I'm afraid that the person who brought into the Mercenary Association today would be a dead corpse!" Karl laughed to himself.

"As far as I know, John III, the head of the Loufans family, is a Earl of Strength who has been trapped due to his own bloodline

How can a vampire who has been a vampire for a long time suddenly advance and at this critical moment!" Chris muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?Chris, do you know this Loufans family well?" Karl asked curiously.

"Carl, you know. I am a member of the All-Knowing Lord, so every time I carry out a mission, I will find out what is relevant to it, not only for the mission, but also as a sign of devotion to the Lord. Because the mission that our mercenary group has to complete recently has something to do with vampires, and the location is here, I have investigated all the vampire families near Lin Si City. ”

"Although the Louvans family is only a small vampire family, because the patriarch John III has some relationship with the Bronhe family, one of the thirteen vampire clans, he is particularly concerned!" Chris explained.

"I see!"

"Karl, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come back here?, Lin Sicheng must be far away from the small town of Gran!" asked Sir Whackor, who had not spoken for a long time.

"Eh, to complete a mission. Carl said helplessly.

"It's not going to be the Cortiste family's mission!" exclaimed Chris.

"Are you?" Carl also looked incredulous.

After the three of them glanced at each other, they all nodded in tacit understanding!

"It seems that this task is really not as simple as I imagined!" Carl looked helpless.

Carl now knows that he still hasn't escaped the trap that Pete has set for himself!
