227.Chapter 227: The Puppet and the Will

Three hours before Nata left the village, in the early morning of November 3, a secret meeting was taking place in a manor called "Moloch".

The estate was located in the northern part of the Ivota Domain, close to the Lars Mountains, and belonged to an earl named Owen Britz.

Because of the border, Earl Owen owned a relatively large land, and there were many knightly domains under his command, and in terms of military strength alone, he could rank among the top three in the territory - and the meeting in the "Moroch" manor at this time was presided over by this earl.

The firewood in the fireplace was "crackling" and burning, but the few people sitting in the hall had cold and serious expressions.

"Revenge is inevitable, but by now, who can tell me... Who killed Lord Ansadine?"

"My people were sent out, but lost contact. ”

"My team is on its way and should have an answer soon. ”

In addition to Earl Owen, the other three noble lords in the hall at this time were all barons with first-class titles. Their territories were scattered throughout Ivotah, and they hardly interacted with each other on weekdays - but they were gathered together only because of the only thing they had in common -

These four lords are all puppets controlled by Ansadine's "Soul Extraction Elixir".

After staying in the Karen Kingdom for seventeen years, Ansatine, who has the title of "Genius Apothecar", will naturally not only transform Viscount Tranca, nor will he only have a deal with Count Durant.

After seventeen years of hard work, Ansardin's "infiltration" of the Karen Kingdom has long been not limited to the duke of Evta-the nobles or other institutions that have contacted, contacted, and traded with him have long been spread all over the kingdom, and if war really breaks out, the "resources" controlled by this necromancer will definitely bring unimaginable damage to the kingdom.

Fortunately, everything is now stopped by Roddy, but although the only "puppet master" has died, as the puppets who signed the soul contract, as long as Ansadine's soul is not destroyed, they still have to continue to fulfill the contract... To put it simply, it is to avenge the "puppet master" Ansardin and continue to carry out his unfinished mission.

Compared with the other nobles who were imminent and ambiguous, these four lords obviously had no way out, and the only topic between them at this time was "how to take revenge".

"Angmar is confused, he doesn't pay attention to the affairs of Kieg, and currently puts all his resources on the western defensive line, so now many people are eyeing that territory in Tranca. ”

"Earl Owen, word has just come that says... Tranca is dead. ”

"Dead?"

There was a pause in his voice, then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Kig is completely borderland..."

"There will be a lot of scramble..."

β€œ... Why don't you take this opportunity..."

Although they have become puppets, their brains are as good as before, and they are still proficient in intrigue and political struggle, and after a simple meeting, some information is gradually summarized.

"It seems to have something to do with the baron named Sodrore. ”

"Then check it out, and pay attention to the movements of the 'Rosicrucius', they have never hidden their hostility to the Tasman Kingdom, if these religious lunatics are involved, I am afraid that things will be very difficult. ”

After talking like this for a while, a consensus was reached on certain issues. The warm glow of the fireplace dispelled the cold, but the nobles with the hearts of the dead hid their faces under their hoods.

"What are we going to do after the revenge is over?"

Hearing this, a little dazed suddenly appeared on several pale faces.

After a short silence, Earl Owen slowly spoke: "We will continue Lord Ansardine's research, and report to His Majesty Augustine, regardless of the results." ”

The voice turned from loud to small, and the words that followed were almost inaudible, "Lord Ansatine has searched for clues to the 'Charged Crystal' in the Lars Mountains, and this must be what His Majesty Augustine also needs..."

With these words, the remaining lords were considered to have the backbone, nodded silently, and scattered, and in the cold air, these nobles who had inherited Ansadine's "last wish" stepped on the carriage to return to the territory and began to prepare their own conspiracy...

Time passed, and after three hours, Nata, sensing that something was wrong in the forest, had left the village and walked towards the place where the sound had come from.

The voice in front of her became more and more obvious, and Nata clenched her bow, but a question involuntarily popped up in her mind - "What would Roddy do if he was here?"

After witnessing Roddy's battle scene, Nata, who was deeply affected, could not bypass this mode of thinking, even though she had resentment in her heart, but Roddy's strength had already deeply impressed her - so Roddy's fighting habits have become Nata's subconscious "benchmark".

Pausing to listen, there were familiar sounds in the wind, and Nata recalled Roddy's choice, turned and climbed up the trunk of the tree next to herβ€”her vision widened suddenly, and the scene in the distance was immediately visible.

However, at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in the forest, and a black shadow falling from the sky quickly swept through, bringing up the fallen leaves in the sky and knocking a running wood elf away!

The figure that flew out spun and landed, and the bloody back was opened with a huge opening, and Nata looked at it and found that it was Lando who fell to the ground!

The young hunters of the village also ran from behind, and they were completely frightened and fled under the sudden attack of the black shadows, and as the other party swooped down again, Nata finally saw that the other party was a giant crow with a pitch-black body and red eyes!

Flying Warcraft...

In the past, for this kind of guy, Nata must have run as far as she could, but at this time, she only hesitated for a second before stepping out, and with her athletic hands, she rushed towards Lando's position, and the short bow in her hand was also raised, and three arrows shot towards the black crow.

The arrows that were shot during the run were not very accurate after all, but the black crow was attracted by Nata's attention, and with a strange scream, its wings fluttered and flew over.

Nata, who was standing on a branch seven or eight meters high, was like rushing towards each other face to face at this time, but at this moment, Nata didn't feel much panic... She came to a screeching halt on the thick trunk of a tree, setting up arrows, drawing her bow, and aiming.

At a distance of more than fifty meters, it only took a second and a half for a crow to fly, but Nata completed all the preparations in less than a second, and his finger pulled backwards, and the arrow shot out!

The black crow did not go on a rampage like an ordinary monster, and after seeing Nata's movements, it immediately made a sideways dodge movement - but it hit Nata's trap, and she threw away the short bow and pulled out the dagger directly after shaking the back of an arrow...

Jumped up, pounced forward, and staggered figures.

On the ground, Lando endured the pain that made him almost faint and took in the scene in front of him - Nata jumped from the tree trunk without any buffer all the way, and it took a week to stop her body after landing and rolling, looking a little embarrassed.

And the black crow that chased them all the way and caused serious injuries to the four of them spun and flew out diagonally like a cannonball, "crackling" and breaking several tree trunks, and then it was stuck in the center of a huge tree, black feathers scattered and fluttering, and the corpse with an unknown number of broken bones fell to the ground "click"...
