Previous Chapter: Chapter 13 A Brief Silence

What am I seeing as an illusion?

Or is it a dream?

Why did the Golden Dragons destroy the city of Alexandria?

What's the deal with that strange dragon?

Wait, the people inside are very strangely dressed and have a retro taste, could it be that the destroyed city of Alexandria is the same city that is now buried underground?

But didn't Empress Ipeia say that the ancient Alexander was destroyed in the tsunami caused by the Poseidon clan?

Now it's all 'messy'. [hua. a lot of good-looking novels]――

Huh--Does the 'Empress' of Ipeia still have such memories?

Where is she now?

"Hosts, hosts...... The hosts!"

"Oh...... Dent, what's wrong?"

Julian, who was forcibly awakened from his contemplation by the 'squire', was still a little swaying.

"Master, you suddenly didn't say a word just now, and your whole body was fluting, and it looked too scary. ”

"Don't worry about me, I was just thinking about something and trying to get into a mystery. ”

"That's fine. I thought the 'spirit' attack had scurred again. ”

"What 'spirit' attack?" Julian was a little confused.

"When you're in the Underground City, you and I'...... You and the eldest lady fainted suddenly, while the others were unharmed, so I, the 'Riverside', and the three young ladies of the Fernandez family all came to believe that you were affected by an attack similar to that of the 'spirit' in the stone chamber of the Imperial Tomb, and that this 'spirit' attack only works on those who can use magic. ”

"Hmm. Julian nodded, "That's right." Something I forgot to ask you. Where are the 'riverside people'? What about the eldest lady and the three sisters?"

"On the night we left the dungeon, the 'Riverman' was separated from us, and you should have heard that the situation in Alexander was very tense now, the army was very strict, and a strange face like the 'Riverman' was wounded and carried a longbow everywhere, which was quite eye-catching in crowded places, so he had to hide outside the city. As for the eldest lady, she was taken away by the three sisters, and it is said that they went to a secret stronghold that the Fernández family 'planted' in the imperial capital. Of course, for the sake of secrecy, they didn't allow us to go with them. ”

"Hehe......" Hearing this, Julian couldn't help but laugh, and he couldn't help but make up the humorous scene of the three Fernandez sisters viciously driving Dante away.

Of course, Dent knew what Julian was laughing at, and although he hadn't been with them for a long time, even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could roughly 'grope' the behavior patterns of these three strange 'women', and Dante couldn't help but laugh when he remembered the nails the three of them had touched for himself.

After the two of them giggled for a moment, Dante suddenly put away his smile and said in a serious voice: "Master, there is one more thing that I must let you know. ”

"Say it. Julian also put away his smile, he knew that behind this stern face, what Dante said must be very weighty.

"Ahem. Host, when you hear this, be sure to stay calm. "Actually, I've heard another rumor in the past few days: about a week ago, there was a ...... in the Holy City of the Central Church on Holy on Pope Island."

Suddenly, a series of incongruous noises interrupted Dante's words. The two of them looked out the window in unison, only to see chickens and dogs jumping on the street, pedestrians and vendors fleeing in all directions, followed by more than 200 heavily armed soldiers armed with spears, led by five officers on horseback, appeared at the corner of the street and headed straight in the direction of the hotel.

The guests of the hotel closed the windows one after another, Julian and Dante were no exception, but they opened the windows a small gap and looked out, only to see that among the five officers, the stout man in the middle was wearing royal knight armor, who looked like the supreme commander of this unit, he stopped in front of the hotel's 'door', without saying a word, and the other four officers and soldiers commanded the soldiers to surround the three outer floors of the hotel.

"Your Excellency, not even a fly can fly out now. An officer reported to the royal knight.

The royal knight did not speak, he waved his hand forward, and the two officers immediately rushed into the hotel with a group of about 40 soldiers.

As he waved, Julian saw a tattoo of a tiger's head on the royal knight's left forearm.

"Could he be General Menavino, the Tiger of the South? No, he should be General Menavino's son, Bazak Menavino. Julian whispered.

In fact, as early as the first time he saw the royal knight, Julian had a feeling of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and when he saw the tiger head tattoo, Julian finally remembered. A few days ago, Julian had a relationship with this face, in the stone chamber of the Imperial Tomb, they were affected by illusion magic, and when they fought the stone statues of the "Scarred Knights" in the mirage, one of the knight statues was based on the prototype of General Eric Menavino, who is now guarding the southern border of the empire and nicknamed the "Tiger of the South", when he was young, and the tattoo on the tiger's head was the symbol of the Menavino family, so Julian retorted that this royal knight was the "Tiger of the South" However, he quickly denied this speculation, because the face of the knight statue that Julian saw in the stone chamber was actually the appearance of more than twenty years ago, and General Menavino should be very old now, but the royal knight he saw now was not a few years older than the young face he saw in the stone chamber, so this person could not be General Menavino himself, and the most likely person was the general's eldest son, Bazak.

It is normal for a son to look like Lao Tzu when he is young, and Julian has heard that the tiger father has no dog son, and Bazak, the son of General Eric Menavino, has obtained the same royal knight qualifications and general duties as his father a few years ago, and his father has been guarding the border for a long time, while his son has stayed in the imperial capital and has become a capable general under the Prince of Mercadenburg, Yure Drurgen, combined with the fact that the imperial capital is now under the control of Yule's faction, so Julian almost concluded that this person is Bazak Menavino.

Although the amount of information for thinking and reasoning is huge, it is only 1 or 2 seconds for Julian to think about it, but at this time, Julian saw Bazak raise his head and cast a murderous look and sneer in the direction of his window, Julian shuddered, and he quickly closed the small gap.

The words he had just said had been very low, could it be that Bazak Menavino would hear it too?

In fact, Bazak didn't hear what Julian said, and the reason why he looked at Julian's room was only because the warrior's instinct told him that there was a powerful opponent in it that was comparable to his strength.

There was no time for Julian and Dante to think about other possible 'sex', because they heard the soldiers banging on the 'door' room by room, driving the travelers to the lobby on the first floor, and a soldier who was particularly noisy shouted loudly: "Listen, everyone, we suspect that there are villains hiding here who assassinate royals, you all come out in line one by one, gather downstairs for inspection, and you must not disobey, otherwise you will be killed!"

"The assassin of the royal family, my identity has been revealed!" Julian felt a tingling in his scalp.

At this time, they heard the "thump" of soldiers going up the stairs.

"Calm down, host, things may not be as bad as you think. Dante said.

"No, I felt the look of the royal knight outside, and he clearly came with me. ”

"A look doesn't mean anything, master, the most important thing for us now is to see the shape clearly before acting, and we must not 'mess' with ourselves. ”

At this moment, a rude pounding of the door sounded outside the room, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers: "Open the 'door'!

"Dante, while what you said makes sense, we can't leave anything to chance. ”

"So what are you going to do? There's a royal knight out there, and so many soldiers, and we can't take any chances. ”

"There's another way. ”

The soldiers outside the 'door' were already very impatient, and they began to pry the 'door' with their spears.

The 'door' of the room was suddenly opened, and the two soldiers who pripped the 'door' and Dante who opened the 'door' looked at each other.

"Why are you opening the 'door' now?" said the two soldiers, holding the sharp spear points to Dante's throat and roaring viciously.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My young master is sick, so he ...... Dan is stiff and weak.

"Sick?"

The two soldiers looked suspiciously towards the 'bed', only to see a man lying on his side on the 'bed', with his back to the 'door', coughing from time to time one or two sounds.

"Hey, we're going downstairs, are you deaf?"

One of the soldiers stared at Dante, and the other strode towards the man lying on the 'bed', and just as he was about to hit Julian on the back with the barrel of his gun, Julian suddenly rolled over and jumped up, kicked the soldier in the 'temple', and the soldier took a few steps back and fainted.

Another soldier didn't expect the "patient" to suddenly attack, so he picked up his spear and rushed over, but as soon as he took half a step, his eyes suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.

After stunting the soldier with a knife blow, Dante turned and closed the door.

"Get dressed. Julian commanded.

The two of them quickly took off the uniforms of the two unconscious soldiers and put them on themselves. When he was ready, Dante picked up his spear and stabbed one of the soldiers in the heart.

"What are you going to do?" Julian grabbed the barrel of the gun in time to save the soldier's life.

"They have seen our faces, and they can't let them live. ”

"They're just doing what they're told, and we're out of danger when they wake up. ”

Knowing his master's temper, Dante sighed helplessly. The two moved the soldier to a corner of the room, covered it, and then swaggered out the hallway on the second floor with two spears.

Outside the corridor, soldiers were running around in twos and threes, and guests were constantly being escorted out of their rooms. Julian and Dante lowered their helmets to hide their appearance, but as soon as they left the room, they collided with two soldiers coming out of the next room. I saw that the other party also pressed the helmet very low, and his appearance was not very clear.

"You ......," Julian said at the same time as one of the soldiers on the other side.

Suddenly, Julian felt an indescribable pressure from the other two.

The four men were silent for a second or two, letting go of each other, but the moment they staggered, the two soldiers gave Julian a sense of insecurity.

Without time to think more, Julian and Dante, who were 'mingling' in a group of soldiers, made it to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. The royal knights outside were not as easy to deceive as these soldiers, so Julian and Dante did not dare to swagger out through the main 'door', but quietly slipped into the kitchen while the attention of the surrounding soldiers was attracted by the crowds of tourists and clerks escorted to the lobby, intending to leave the hotel through the side 'door' used to deliver ingredients in the kitchen. Although the kitchen had already been inspected by soldiers, it was also very normal to check it repeatedly, so their actions did not attract the attention of other soldiers.

However, planning is never better than keeping up with change. As the so-called road is narrow, they again meet two soldiers in the corridor in the kitchen.

"We've been targeted for a long time. Julian Dent had such an ominous thought at the same time.

Before anyone could think about it, among the group of soldiers behind him, someone suddenly shouted: "It's not good! Our colleagues have been knocked unconscious and stripped of their clothes!"

Oops!

Unexpectedly, being discovered so quickly, Julian and Dante shouted in their hearts at the same time that it was not good, but they all had the same idea, that is, to preemptively knock down the two soldiers who were blocking the road in an instant.

But when they stabbed each other with guns, they did the same.

The wooden shafts of the four spears were broken at the same time under the strong force of the impact, and the four spear heads flew out, two of them were nailed to the kitchen wall, and the other two outer gun heads flew to Q outside
