The autumn wind, with a hint of summer heat, swept through Karen Delvin's knife-like face and ruffled his golden hair.

Banners painted with purple gold flowers wrapped around flaming tigers hunted in the wind, restless horses' hooves constantly kicking the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

"Young Master, there is still a distance of about a hundred kilometers from Lin Si City, and I need to be stationed here tonight. Adjutant Linton rode over to Karen's side.

"How far is this place from Elizabeth Castle?" asked Karen, looking at the sunset in the distance. "There are about thirty kilometers to go. However, Windsors Castle is located in the Howth River Valley, the road is rough and difficult to walk, and the time is not early, do you still want to go there, young master?"

Looking back at the attendants beside her, who had been growing up with her, Karen said softly, "Linton, don't forget the purpose of our trip. If we can't complete the task assigned by Your Majesty this time, then what qualifications do we have to serve in front of Your Majesty?"

Karen's words were very soft, but Linton knew that the young master at this moment was serious. For the young master who adheres to the way of knighthood, the task assigned by His Majesty the King is the first priority, and other things can be put aside. For example, when he returns to Lin Si City, he meets his favorite sister, Miss Elizabeth.

"Linton, you lead the Purple Flower Guard, I'm heading to Windsors Castle!" Karen ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

As Linton returned to the group to give the order, there was some movement in the otherwise stationary team, and a group of cavalrymen dressed in purple and gold heavy armor and wearing flaming tiger helmets rode out of the group.

The moment he left the group, Linton felt an atmosphere of murder coming over him.

As the imperial guard of Emperor Otto the Great of the Alverian Empire, the Purple Gold Flower Guard, which is famous on the mainland, has only more than 350 people.

And the one who leads them is Karen Delvensi, the golden lion whose fame is resounding in the surrounding kingdoms!

As the Knight of Oath of Otto the Great, Karen was deeply trusted by Otto the Great. Returning to Lin Si City this time, Emperor Otto directly sent a force of more than 100 purple and gold knights to follow Karen back to his hometown. 【!iQi Literature ~Better, Newer and Faster】

"Let's go!" Karen snorted, urging the horse under her crotch - Hurricane, and with a roar, the hurricane ran towards a trail that led to the mountains in the distance.

"Sir Wacor, Chris, good morning!" Karl, who was carrying a bowl of porridge, sat down next to Sir Wacole and Chris with a few pieces of bread.

"Good morning. Sir Wacole raised his glass and greeted Karl slightly, while Chris, who had no idea what he was reading, simply hummed.

"Chris, what's going on?" Karl whispered to Sir Wacole, who was sitting to his right.

"It's news this morning, I heard that the golden lion of the Delvensey family is going back to Lin Si City. Chris who was worried about what was going on found a lot of information early in the morning and checked it out here. Sir Wacole shook his head, "Believers in the All-Knowing Lord are good at everything, and it is this frenzy for news and knowledge that makes people feel frightened!"

"Del

Sir Sir of the Vency family, are you talking about Karen Delvensey, who gave up the family inheritance and became the Knight of Oath to Otto the Great?"

"Well, that's right. That's him. I heard that he had come back to visit his father this time. Sir Whackor drank the beer from his glass in one gulp, and after a long sigh of relief, he brought up a large barrel of ale from the ground, "Brother Karl, what kind of bread to eat in the morning, come, this is my collection of dwarven craft beers, it is hard to buy." ”

With that, Sir Wacole took out a bowl and placed it in front of Karl, and poured a bowl full of ale.

Glancing at the white porridge in his hand that had not yet been half drunk, and then at the ale in front of him, which was full of overflowing ale, Carl was a little entangled. Do you want to tell Sir Wecol that there are many better ales in his spatial ring, all of which were given to him by the Dwarven King?

Just as Carl decided to pick it up and drink it, Chris, who was concentrating on the sidelines, suddenly shouted, "I know!" And the others in the hall of the Mercenary Guild also turned their eyes to Chris because of this shout.

"Chris, what's wrong with you?" asked Sir Wacole, feeling the other gazes, in a low voice.

"I know why at this time, the Golden Lion Society has returned to Lin Si City. Chris also knew that he had lost his words, and whispered, "Let's go back first." I'll tell you again. ”

When all three of them were seated in Chris's room, Chris took out a map from a treasure chest at the head of his bed. "Look here!" Chris said, pointing to a place on the map, "This is the border between the Alvelite Empire, the Kingdom of Bavaria, and the Holy Third Reich, and it is also a famous place of chaos. And here there is a vampire family, the Lesenbra family of the thirteen clans of the blood clan!"

"Based on the current situation, the only thing that can be determined is that Karen's return to Lin Si City this time is also for the sake of Dracula's blood source crystal manufacturing method!"

"Chris, what's going on?" Sir Wacole didn't understand what Chris meant.

"Chris, are you saying that the Alverian Empire sent the Golden Lion back to Linsi City at this time, and it has something to do with the Kingdom of Bavaria?" Karl said after a moment of contemplation.

"That's right, Carl, you're right!" Chris said excitedly. "The behavior of the golden lion this time is definitely related to the situation in our country!"

"Vercor, the contradiction between our country and the suzerain, the Kingdom of Lance, is getting more and more serious, and the call for independence in the country is getting higher and higher!

After Chris said this, Sir Wacole also understood what Chris meant.

"Are you saying that the Alverian Empire wants to get the method of making the Blood Crystal, and then give it to the Lesenbra family in the Land of Chaos, and then get their support, so that the Alverian Empire has a reason to meddle in the affairs of the Bavarian Kingdom?"

"That's right, Alveli

The Sub-Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria were bordered only by the Land of Chaos, which was a territory. The Kingdom of Elrot is a vassal of the Kingdom of Lancer, so it will not let the armies of the Alvelit Empire pass through at all. And it is impossible for the Alvelit Empire to directly send troops to the Lance Kingdom, which means that the war between the two great powers of the main plane has broken out. This will certainly not be acceptable to both parties. Therefore, the only way to reach our country is through the Land of Chaos. ”

After taking a sip of water, Chris continued: "Because the land of chaos is mixed, no matter what happens here, it is normal, so the Alverian Empire wants to create an excuse here and send troops to the Bavarian Kingdom. It's a very simple thing. ”

"Of course, there is a premise for this, and that is that the Alverian Empire needs the consent of the controllers of the Land of Chaos, the true masters, the most powerful of the thirteen clans of the Bloodline, the Lesenbra family. ”

"I didn't expect that such a simple task would involve so many things. Chris, do you already know this, Captain?" Sir Wacole asked Chris with a sigh.

"Hmm...... I don't know, but with the current situation of the regimental commander, even if he knew, he wouldn't be interested in it. What's more, isn't the chaotic situation the soil for the mercenaries to survive?" Chris pondered for a moment, his tone a little heavy.

"Chris, if the Alverian Empire wants to get the method of making the Blood Crystal, then can't it be obtained directly from the Cortiste family, who have already issued the mission, why do you want to send the Golden Lion to come in person?" Karl threw out the question.

"Carl, I've been thinking about this question for you, but I haven't figured it out either. Could it be that there is still something dirty between the Cortistes and the Alverian Empire?"

"No, it shouldn't. It is impossible for the Cortiste family, which has relied on the Alverian Empire to grow and grow, to stumble the empire at this time. Unless, they found an ally who could help them defend themselves against the Alverian Empire's retaliation. On the main plane, I can't think of any force that can compete with the Alverian Empire. Karl thought for a moment and asserted.

"Shall we still complete this mission?" asked Sir Wacole.

"Karl, what about you?" said Chris instead of answering Sir Wacole's question, but asked Karl.

"If that mausoleum is really there, I have a reason to go, so I'm going to see this Windsors Castle too. Karl said.

Hearing Karl's words, Sir Wacole and Chris glanced at each other, and Chris spoke: "Since we invited Carl to join our team before, it is impossible for us to abandon you and let you go to Windsors Castle alone. ”

"Thank you!" Karl took out a large barrel of ale from the spatial ring, "Sir Wacole, come and taste the ale that my dwarven king has gifted!

"I said why you kid didn't want to drink my ale, it turned out to be yourself

Treasure the better!" Sir Wacole smiled and patted Karl, then took the cask in front of Karl directly, "Brother Karl, let me taste this ale for you!"

Outside Lin Si City, the Purple Gold Flower Fire Tiger Banner hunted in the wind, Karen Delvinsey dismounted, walked in front of Clavass, and knelt down on one knee, "Dear Father, I'm back!"

"Get up, my child!" looked at his son, who was already a head taller than himself, and Clavos had mixed feelings in his heart. When was the last time he and Karen met, three years ago or five years ago?

"Brother!" Just as Clavers sighed, Elizabeth, who was standing on the side, walked slowly and softly in front of Karen, and said softly: "Elizabeth has seen my brother!"

"Elizabeth, you've grown up!" looked at Elizabeth, who was a lady to herself, and said with a smile: "You have also become sensible!"

"Master Clavos, Lord Karen is still so good!" At this moment, a hearty voice sounded, and Karen turned her head sideways to see a pot-bellied Imperial official approaching.

"Hello, Lord Alberly!" Karen said respectfully.

"Lord Karen, please don't have to. Although you are not a nobleman now, you are my superior according to the rank of the Empire!" Alberly said with a hearty smile.

"I wonder if Lord Karen brought His Majesty's order!" Alberley asked with a sudden straight face.

"Let's go ahead of the city!" Clavos began. "Look at my head, I only thought about His Majesty's orders, and I didn't expect that Lord Karen hadn't returned to Lin Si City for a long time. It's been a long time since I've been reunited with my family. Alberly turned to Kravers and said, "Please forgive Lord Kravers, Lord Karen will return home with you today, Your Majesty's order will be announced tomorrow, anyway, there is no hurry for this moment!"

"Lord Alberry, I'm not tired right now. Your Majesty has indeed ordered your Excellency to invite Governor Kolbers to come as well. Karen said.

"In that case, Lord Karen's reunion with her family can only be postponed for a while!" Alberly smiled heartily, and then continued, "Now, I'll go back to the City Lord's Mansion and invite Lord Colbus!"

Watching Alberly leave, Clavos' face was ugly. All that Alberly said was to himself. Although there is no direct conflict between himself and Alberly, as the two major aristocratic families that are also rooted in Lin Sicheng, it is inevitable that there will be some contradictions.

Moreover, Albery knew that with Karen's character, he would not return to the family first and announce Otto the Great's orders. Alberly did this purely to disgust himself, and then blocked Karen's back road so that he would not now inform the Delvensey family of the Emperor's orders.

"Father, the Emperor's order also has something about the House of Delvensey,

So, Father, you must also go with me to the Castle Lord's Mansion. Karen whispered.

"Well, I see!" Clavus snorted, then turned around and walked towards Lin Si Castle.

"Elizabeth, you've grown taller and prettier!" Karen's eyes were relieved as she reached out and touched Elizabeth's hair!

"Brother, just tell me this. Have you brought me any gifts?and, when will you bring my sister-in-law back?" When Clavers left, Elizabeth, who had no one to control herself, began to let go of her nature and no longer pretend to be a lady.

"You're still the same!" Karen touched Elizabeth's head once, "I have a mission this time, so I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you." When this is over, I can take you on a tour of other planes. The empire has a royal plane, and the scenery is very good!"

"Brother, if you touch it like this again, I'm going to be tall!" Elizabeth shook Karen's hand away unhappily, and then said dissatisfiedly, "Hmph, you promised me this last time, but the plane you went to was not fun at all." Brother, I want to go to the Dark Places. I've heard that there are a lot of strange creatures there, and it seems that there are dragons!"

"Yes, I'll take you to the Dark Lands when this mission is over! Ogre is terrifying!"

"Hmph, brother, don't scare me. As an inspirational Ranger to become a Legendary Ranger, it is impossible for me to be intimidated by a little ogre!"

The more she talked, the more excited Elizabeth suddenly seemed to remember something, "Brother, this is my Knight of Oaths, Eric." Eric, this is my brother, he is the Knight of Oath of Otto the Great, the mighty Golden Lion!"

"Hello, Mistress Karen. Eric stretched out his rough hand and shook it with Karen's slightly smooth hand.

"Hello, Lord Eric, thank you for being my sister's Knight of Oath!" Karen said sincerely.

"It's an honor to be Miss Elizabeth's Knight of Oath!" replied Eric.

"Alright, alright, you guys don't talk to each other here about these frisome things. Let's hurry into the city! Brother, when you're done, hurry back to the family, I want to eat the steak you made!"

At Elizabeth's urging, the Purple Flower Guards entered the city.

In a small plane far away, in a burning village under a blood moon, a bloodied boy with a rusty sword in his hand stared blankly at the scene of hell in front of him, and he couldn't understand why the goblin he had just killed had become his familiar aunt and uncle in the blink of an eye.

Looking up at the blood moon in the sky, the boy wanted to cry, but found that not a single tear had fallen, and wanted to shout loudly and accuse fate of playing, but found that there was no sound in his throat at all. The boy knelt helplessly, holding his cheeks in his hands, trying to escape from what he saw.

But the reality is cruel, and it often after giving you a slap in the face,

Let you fall again. The terrible night wind frantically instilled in his ears, and what echoed in his mind were the insults and curses of those familiar people, which made the boy who wanted to escape have nowhere to escape, and finally he could no longer support it and passed out on the ground.

Far away, he appeared. He came from afar, He emerged from darkness, He appeared in the flames, He saved him, He pulled him into the endless abyss

He crouched down, his hand gently outstretched, and placed it on the boy's forehead. A six-pointed star array appeared, and the boy and his clothes moved without wind. The vague figure of the ghost god was terrifying and hideous, appearing on the young man's body, and roaring at him silently. With a chuckle, a drop of crystal clear blood dripped from the tip of his middle finger onto the six-pointed star array. The moment the blood fused, the six-pointed star array shone brightly, and the momentum of the ghosts and gods was suppressed. The ghost god wanted to break free from the suppression of the six-pointed star array, but the ghost god who was only left with the strength of his heyday could do nothing but roar weakly, and could only watch him seal it in the boy's arms.

He smiled with satisfaction as the aura of the ghosts disappeared into the village, and his smile intensified when he looked at the village that looked like a hellish scene. When a gust of night wind blew, only the boy was left alone on the ground in the burning village, like a dead corpse.
