......

Time passed quickly, and before you knew it, it was a few days later.

The town of Gru is one of the more remote towns in the Saint-Luan region.

The town is surrounded by six villages, large and small, as well as manors near the villages, and scattered small settlements, with a total population of six or seven thousand.

In addition to being closer to St. Luan's Monastery, this is a town with no characteristics, and in the early years, it was able to maintain the prosperity of the town by entertaining an endless stream of pilgrims and taking charge of the monastery's material procurement, but with the fall of the God of Light and the Empire's policy of banning the Cult of Light, Gru Town became more and more desolate, and even caravans came less.

Southwest corner of Grew Town.

On a towering cliff, Gruburg is like a crouching beast, quietly guarding the town of Gru at his feet.

Compared with the Abbey of St. Luan, Gruburg is a little less sacred and majestic, but more hideous. More than ten meters wide moat, heavy stone walls, towering arrow towers and lookouts...... The complete war facilities make it look like a war machine, with a dignified aura, as if it could stretch out its hideous fangs at any time and at any time.

It is the hereditary war fortress of the Gru family, and it is also the last barrier to enter the Gru region.

And Baron Gondeyar is the hereditary baron of the Gru family's generation.

The ancestors of the Gru family also followed the emperor to open up the territory and conquer the west, but time has passed and the vicissitudes of life have passed.

The inheritance passed down from the ancestors was worn away little by little, and it became more and more declining in the generation of Gangdeyar.

However, the decline is the decline, but the pomp of Gangdeyar is not small at all, in order to maintain arrogance and erosion, in the territory of the tyranny, has already made the people have a deep grudge in their hearts, but because of the obscenity of Gangdeyar, dare to be angry and dare not speak.

In the evening, the sun sets.

The afterglow of the setting sun was draped over an old carriage, which inexplicably looked desolate.

Pulled by the horses, the old carriage slowly approached the Glouburg of Gondeyar.

The driver was a young man, dressed in linen, with a strong figure, his eyes slightly red, and his expression seemed to carry some kind of unwillingness that had been suppressed for a long time.

The gates of Gruburg were not yet closed, and the drawbridge was still on the moat.

At the sentry, two elite soldiers wearing chain mail saw the approaching carriage, and immediately stepped forward to stop it with guns, and shouted in a brutal manner: "Stop, stop, what are you?

Hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up with anger.

However, he quickly suppressed his anger and showed a flattering smile: "Two lords, my name is Abelon, and I have sent people to Gruburg on the orders of the baron. ”

The elite soldiers looked him up and down, their eyes wary: "What about the baron's edict? Also, who is in the carriage?"

The young man Abron hesitated, his eyes seemed to be unwilling: "No, there is no edict." The car, in the car was my new wife, Arya. ”

The two elite soldiers were stunned, and then burst out laughing.

They laughed unscrupulously, and their eyes when they looked at Abron were full of disdain and mockery: "It turns out that you are Abron~ I heard that you have married a beautiful wife, congratulations." ”

Abron's face turned red, as if he could not bear the humiliation, and his fists were clenched tightly.

The elite soldiers didn't care about his mood at all, and when they saw him like this, they smiled even more. One of the elite soldiers stepped forward directly and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

I saw a bride in a white wedding dress sitting in the carriage, although she couldn't see her face clearly because she was wearing a veil, she could still see that she was graceful and had an outstanding temperament. And the afterglow of the setting sun swayed through the car window on the bride's body, as if covering her with a veil of holy light, adding a bit of divine temperament.

"What a beautiful bride. A flash of greed and excitement flashed in the eyes of the elite soldier, and he waved at Abron without turning his head, "The carriage stays, you can go back first." ”

Abron blushed and said nervously, "My lord, no." According to the Baron's rules, I must send Arya into the castle herself. ”

"Hahaha~"

The laughter of the two elite soldiers became more and more rampant: "What an obedient waste groom~ Forget it, you can go in~ Remember, you can only sleep in the stable tonight." ”

They waved to let them go, and Abron put his head back in the driver's seat and drove slowly towards the drawbridge.

Seeing this, the two elite soldiers couldn't help but laugh hehe~ laughing, and they were not afraid that Abron would hear it, so they talked and laughed loudly in front of him.

"Lord Baron is really good at playing, executing the right of the beginning ~ night, and even asking the other groom to send it over in person. ”

"Yes, yes~ But it's cool, isn't it? Let the groom keep watch in the castle, and let him fantasize about what kind of joyful scene his beautiful bride is experiencing. ”

"This time, I wonder if it's our turn to get a piece of the pie? ”

"Let's take a look after the rotation, maybe we can make up for a good thing, hahaha~"

The evil laughter was unbridled and entered the carriage through the thick curtains.

In the carriage, the "bride", who should have cowered and trembled in fear, straightened her back, and her eyes were as cold as ice, as if even the air could freeze.

......

Before you know it, the sunset is completely below the horizon.

Night falls.

Darkness enveloped Gruburg.

At the top of the castle, in the floor-to-ceiling windows at the top of the watchtower, there is a faint candlelight.

In the room, the "bride" who was personally sent by her newlywed husband was wearing the holy and beautiful white wedding dress at the moment, sitting on the edge of the bed with a dignified demeanor, quietly looking at the door.

This room, which was supposed to be an observation room, has been converted into a dormitory by Baron Gondeyar, a special room dedicated to exercising the lord's right to the first night.

The room was very simple, with only a wooden bed lined with linen in the center of the room, and seven or eight wooden "torture instruments" on the table next to it.

Even if the candlelight flickered, there was still an eerie and cold atmosphere floating in the room, as if there was a ghost haunting it, which made people shudder.

However, in such an environment, the face of the "bride" sitting on the edge of the bed is still calm, and her blue eyes do not show the slightest fear, but show a trace of compassion.

It turned out that this "bride" was none other than Catherina who had infiltrated Gruburg in disguise.

Just seeing the scene in front of her, Catherina could imagine the inhuman experience that those pure and kind brides had suffered in this room, and even more so their helplessness and fear at that time, naturally they would not feel afraid, only angry.

In her mind, she unconsciously remembered the tragic death of her grandmother and sisters in the monastery, and the anger in her heart burned more and more like a flame, almost swallowing her reason.

Just when Catherina was sad and angry, in the Kingdom of God, Wu Hui also saw the furnishings in the room clearly through the "Eye of God".

Seeing this situation, even if he was not burdened with a sea of blood and hatred like Catherina, he couldn't help but curse the beast secretly. This Gangdeyar is really not a thing~

Just yesterday, he had already accumulated 1,000 points of faith power, and re-condensed 1 point of divine power, which gave him a little more confidence, and then he officially started to act.

However, even if she was completely prepared, it was still very dangerous for Catherina to go deep alone, and Wu Hui was really not at ease, and he had been keeping an eye on the situation in real time with the eyes of God open from the beginning, so that he could respond in time when something went wrong.

Suddenly.

Heavy footsteps were heard outside the door.

Even Wu Hui was a little nervous, this battle was a matter of life and death.
