Chapter 294: "Banished Prisoners" and "Knights of the Oath"
Poof!
The abdominal cavity exposed by the slash in two pieces was not imaginary flesh and blood, but black colloids that are difficult to describe in words.
Most of the people who are not cautious do not live long.
Seeing such a strange scene, the leading Haimer has realized that something is wrong:
"Oh no!
Roar——!
There seemed to be a terrible monster hidden in the gum, and it kept rolling and rushing out of the witch's abdomen.
After landing, he had already turned into a tall man holding a butcher's knife in his hand, as if he had no weight, and rushed towards the pirate cadres who retreated when they saw that the situation was not good.
Especially the pirates who had been caught by the witch's curse and couldn't dodge in time.
"Die... Die... Die..."
Even if the entire body is composed of a black weird gelatinous liquid, you can vaguely see the once handsome look on the man's face.
It's just that at this time, his whole body is pitch black, his face is distorted, and only his eyes are like two burning coals of fire spewing infinite hatred and anger!
It's like a life-reeling demon who has just crawled out of the abyss of hell!
Whew——
"Uh..."
The butcher's knife slashed through the chest of a pirate cadre stripped of his five senses, and there was no flesh or blood, but a gray-white scar gradually spread across his body.
Half a foot stepped into the senior level of the pirate cadre, and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
Trait: Slash the Spirit!
Even though the appearance is intact, in fact, the soul of the person who was stabbed has been cut off in part. Even a devout follower of a true God should not think that he will ascend to heaven after death.
The essence of this evil ghost is clearly close to the immortal evil spirit! Strictly speaking, it is no worse than the "murderer" who once ravaged Newinn Harbor.
"Humph!"
Seeing this unexpected strange thing that suddenly appeared, Huggins let out a cold snort in his nose, and was about to take action to destroy it himself.
only to find that the strange "evil spirit" had retreated to the dying witch after killing three pirate cadres.
Wizards of the normal curse school are at high risk of losing control, and people often die from the backlash of the "core curse", especially if their strength is greatly reduced or they are in a state of near death, and it is not uncommon for the soul to be eaten by the backlash of the "curse".
In the case of witches, however, the exception is apparently.
One person and one ghost look at each other "affectionately".
"Daina, you're so beautiful!"
"Linde, I'm sorry!"
Although they are a grudge couple who "eat" and "are eaten", even if their identities change, their past feelings seem to have never changed.
For the "witch" Dinah, the deeper she once loved, the more painful it is, and the more painful it is, the stronger her power, which is also the root of her ability to kill a large species with almost a single blow in the first place.
For the "evil spirit" Linde, it is obvious that even in this situation, there is no resentment towards his girlfriend. It can only be said that outsiders who lick the pleasure of licking a dog do not understand at all.
However, no matter how memorable their past stories, they are now over.
Teng ——!
The dark blue fire rose, and a demon spirit and a witch finally embraced each other and dissipated into the air.
Throughout, the witch had an unpredictable smile on her face, and it was not known whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied with the experience of death...
Subsequently.
The "Golem Knight", who lost his teammates, didn't last long.
Outnumbered, the armor continued to break under the minions of a group of "spinyback crocodile lizards", and gradually lost its mobility, and then was grabbed by the lightning-fast tentacles of a "large species spiral brain coral" and sent into a huge mouthpart full of sharp teeth.
Creak... Creak...
The terrifying bite force of the mouthparts is no worse than that of a hydraulic press.
Sea monsters in the Black Sea come from a wide range of sources.
All sea creatures can be transformed into sea monsters by the power of the "Mother of Sea Monsters" Urketo.
The same is true of the "spiral brain coral", which is a large polyp stone coral, but it is a round single coral with a bright appearance that does not live in colonies like ordinary polyps.
It has zooxanthellae similar to other corals in its body, which survives through photosynthesis through symbiotic relationships, and can also actively prey on small sea creatures with countless lightning-fast tentacles.
Now transformed into a large sea monster, the three-meter-tall "Golem Knight" is just a snack for it.
Belch... Not so digestible snacks.
Hefman, who had no hope of escaping, also had the pride of being a wizard, and refused to accept the end of turning into sea monster feces, and did not hesitate to detonate his own steam furnace.
Boom——!
After a loud bang, the dust settled.
.......
Whoa! Whoa...
Mud water poured out of the hole again, and this time no one jumped out to hinder the sea monsters' "construction".
Even if it was interrupted three times and twice, a total of one and a half heads of the "earthquake two-headed turtle" and one and a half of the "earth-bellied snake lizard" were lost, but the impact on the scheduled "construction period" after the reorganization was not too great.
However, as we go deeper, more and more witchcraft traps are attached to the rock wall.
From time to time, sparks, lightning and vicious curses can be triggered, but these are trivial for large sea monsters.
According to the information detected by the "inner ghost", the granite layer of the first layer is 15 meters thick and 3 meters high, and the second layer is 8 meters thick and 3 meters high.
Break through the second layer of rock and pull out the last nail that guards the door to the third vault, and the entire vault will be open for the Pirate King.
Boom——!
Soon, the second layer of rock was eroded to the limit and collapsed, revealing a second layer of vault 29 meters underground.
Looking at the deep hole, Huggins did not rush to order the sea monsters to continue digging.
Instead, all the sea monsters and personnel retreated, and he was the only one standing at the edge of the pit waiting for something with interest.
They still have a lot of time to do because of the smooth execution of the plan.
Especially against the last opponent, Huggins doesn't mind being a little more patient.
What's more, this is a guy who can't help but respect even the ruthless pirate king who has no bottom line.
Didn't keep Huggins waiting.
Trample.. Trample.. Trample..
The sound of steel boots stepping on gravel came from the hole in the hole.
A tall knight in glittering alchemical armor and a fiery red cape stood at the bottom of the cave and looked down at Huggins.
Cracking sound...
The darkness of the underground couldn't stop the eyes of the two powerful transcendents at all, and there seemed to be a crackling light where the two looked at each other!
Grand Knight Grace Calvin, also known as the "Knight of the Oath" and "Knight's Light", was born in a small country adjacent to the Kingdom of Cyrius, the "Duchy of Calvin".
From his surname, he knew that he was of noble birth, and he was even the second in line to the throne of the Grand Duke!
Even if it is only a small country with only eight cities compared to the mainland power, if you can become its master, you can still enjoy supreme secular power!
But Grace, who is above his elder brother Sarkry in terms of character, knowledge, ability, knightly rank, etc., abides by the virtues of knighthood, for the smooth transition of the principality's rights and the peace of the people.
When he became an adult, he publicly stated that he would never compete with his brother for the position of Grand Duke.
It wasn't until their father died, and Sarkri, who was the elder brother, trembling and ascending to the throne of Archduke Calvin, that he realized that the excellent brother he was guarding against did not have other thoughts.
After giving Grace a lot of rewards and paying no money, he got by with peace and quiet, no, he stayed away.
However, as the expansion of the land territory of Cyrius came to the "Duchy of Calvin", they had to face a new problem.
Surrender or death?
Even though the Duchy of Calvin had neither a good port, nor high-quality mineral resources, or even large tracts of fertile land to cultivate, it was a small and weak state. But for Philip II, who dreamed of being an emperor, he did not dislike the meat on the leg of the mosquito.
It is not clear to outsiders how the rest of the story developed, only that the "Dutch banking group", which had great influence on Cylius, finally made a generous move.
They received a promise from King Philip II of Hilius that they would not send troops to destroy the kingdom as long as Sarkry Calvin reigned for one day.
In exchange, Grace Calvin, the only younger brother of the Grand Duke and one of the Grand Knights of the Duchy, became the guardian of the headquarters of the "Dutch Banking Regiment" for a period of... Lifelong!
However, the story is far from over here.
On the night that Grace left with the members of the banking group, his elder brother, the current Archduke Calvin, left behind several famous courtesans of the principality to continue the carnival after the celebration banquet, and then... He died a very dishonorable death.
The Duchy of Calvin, which had no heirs left behind, immediately went into disarray, and surrendered to the re-entrenched city of Sylius Kakai after only a week.
The brief peace that Grace had paid for the principality with her life of freedom was immediately a joke, and after being identified by several true episcopal priests, there was no external factor in Sarkry Calvin's death.
This kind of death is to step Grace's great sacrifice into the mud.
It's ridiculous to worthless!
In view of this situation, even the syndicate of banks no longer mandated Grace's performance.
But Grace did not choose to break her oath, but self-exile in disguise, guarding loneliness, loneliness and her own sword, not marrying a wife, not having children, not admiring money... Silently became the longest-serving guardian of the Great Underground Vault.
The names of "Knight of the Oath" and "Knight Light" also spread far and wide, and spread widely on the mainland.
If he is given enough time to complete the fourth-order transformation into a Titled Knight, he can draw strength from the "name", and maybe it is very possible to become a member of the Peak Knight, right?
On top of that, unlike the two wizards who signed a strict sorcery contract, Grace Calvin did not have any pact with the banker.
The only thing that can bind him is his own heart!
From Huggins' point of view, he does not respect Grace's "ridiculous" spirit of sacrifice, but his willingness to wear heavy shackles for an oath and carry all the firm will alone!
It's the identity of the road, even if... is the exact opposite path to "exile prisoners"!
"Ahaha...."
Huggins looked at the tall and heroic knight and let out a wild laugh, before he ascended to the fourth order of the "lawless", was there anything better sacrifice than this "knight of oaths" on the left side of the road?
