The next day, on the top floor of the Scarlet Castle, the castle hall.

Catherine wore a female officer's uniform, wearing a black general's cloak, and the badge of the Knights of Light on her chest was pale gold, which was the badge of the quasi-knight of light, and gently put down the book in her hand, Catherine looked up into the distance, with a faint anger in her beautiful eyes, and said, "Say, why did you do this?"

At the foot of the steps, a waiter in a gray robe was none other than Ressa, who was in charge of the adjustment of potions in the Hundred Refining Tower, and at this time he had been tied up to death, and a ground knight was on his knees with one foot.

Ressa slowly raised her head and looked at Catherine who was not angry, the lord of the Scarlet Castle, many people had heard of her ruthless methods, but until today, when Ressa saw Catherine's eyes, she knew the feeling of falling into an ice cave.

"My lord, I ...... I ......"

"Say!"

Catherine scolded, a pair of beautiful eyes burst out of an invisible momentum, "puffy pong" pressed the floor tiles on the ground along the way to crack, this momentum fell from the sky, "pong" almost crushed Ressa's body to the ground, and his face was even more bloody, embarrassed.

I said...... I said......"

Faced with such terrifying coercion, Resa begged for mercy again and again.

"Say it. ”

Catherine frowned slightly, reining in the momentum and coercion she had released.

"That's ......"

Resa bent her body and coughed violently as she said, "The subordinate is just ...... Just got a clue from the tavern and secretly put a drop of the blood of the Flame Phantom Eagle into Luo Lan's body refining potion, as long as Luo Lan died, his subordinates could be rewarded with five hundred gold coins, so his subordinates ...... It will be ...... when you are obsessed with money for a while. will ......"

"Shut up!"

Catherine fell from the throne, a pair of slender and round snow legs and boots walked towards Ressa step by step, staring at him with a strong murderous gaze, and said lightly: "Who is the person who gave you this task?"

"The subordinates don't know. ”

Ressa said: "It's a parchment quest scroll in the tavern, with which you can receive a reward, and the specific publisher ...... There is no way to know. ”

"You are presumptuous!"

Catherine swept her palm suddenly, and with a "peng" sound, Ressa, who had cultivated well, was directly pulled to the corner of her mouth, and her two teeth flew out, which was extremely tragic.

"Say, who the hell is the person who posted this task?"

"Subordinate...... The subordinates really don't know......" Resa looked dead and said: "My lord, what my subordinates can really say has already been said, please spare my life, my subordinates ...... The subordinates are just fascinated for a while, and they really don't know who they want to kill Loran......"

On the side, Heavenly Knight Grantham frowned and said, "Lord Catherine, what he said may be true. ”

"Oh?"

Catherine raised her eyebrows: "Say, why?"

Grantham was full of momentum, nodded his head, and said in a deep voice: " More than a dozen taverns in the Scarlet Castle are basically from the national capital Xingyuan City, and the taverns in Xingyuan City have their own set of rules, Lord Catherine, you have not been in the tavern, so I don't know some of the secrets in the tavern, there will indeed be some people who anonymously entrust the task to the tavern owner, and the tavern owner will be responsible for issuing the task on his behalf, until the task is completed, the executor will be rewarded, I think Ressa took this kind of anonymous bounty task of trusteeship, ask him, you can't ask what the result is, he is just a little person who is obsessed with money。 ”

"I see. ”

Catherine sank down, looked at Ressa's bleak appearance with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said, "You really don't know who wants to assassinate Loraine?"

"Subordinate...... The subordinates really don't know anything, please spare your life......"

"Spare your life?"

Catherine couldn't help laughing, and said: "This group of students has been trained in the blood cage for more than a year, and the rest are almost all elites, this group of people, some will become the head of the branch of the Knights of Light, some will become powerful territorial knights, some may become the high-ranking of the Knights of Light, and may even become the marshal of the empire, how dare you kill them? Do you know how many resources the Knights of Light have invested in them, just to produce a few talents who can take charge of themselves?"

"Subordinate...... Subordinates know ......"

"If you know, how dare you do this? You've come to the end of your journey. ”

As she spoke, Catherine waved her hand lightly and said, "Take it down, behead him, and show his head to the public, this is the fate of assassinating the Scarlet Cage Cadets!" In addition, Lord Grantham, send someone to check every tavern in the Scarlet Castle to see if you can find some clues, I want to know who dares to kill the official students of the Scarlet Castle. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Grantham slowly lowered his head, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, and said, "Actually, my lord ......."

Say. ”

"The subordinates think that the biggest suspect who wants to harm Lolan is the patrol knight Gray, so it is better to ...... The subordinates went directly to do it, and Gray was secretly executed, and it was a hundred. ”

"Nope. ”

Catherine frowned lightly: "If all the clues and evidence point to Gray, then he can be executed anytime and anywhere, but if not, I can't execute a knight of the Knights of Light at will." ”

"Yes, the subordinates understand, and the subordinates will do it!"

"Go for it~~~"

Grantham turned away.

Catherine walked to the balcony of the hall, and most of the scenery of the entire Scarlet Castle was in full view, and she couldn't help but sigh faintly, and said to herself: "These knights seem to have forgotten their identity as a knight, and they are really getting more and more chaotic...... Loraine, are you really the son of the Apocalypse Roy, you are a little student, but you really made a lot of waves in the Scarlet Castle......"

As she spoke, she looked at the square below, and suddenly screamed, and jumped down from a height of dozens of meters, bursting with star source power all over her body, and falling in front of several instructors in the square with a strong aura "Peng".

"Lord Catherine!"

A group of instructors knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"No courtesy. ”

Catherine raised her hand, watched a group of instructors get up, and asked, "Instructors, there are still three days left before the spring patrol hunting, are you all ready?"

"Ready!"

Everyone nodded in unison: "We have dispatched three thousand knights of the Knights of Light, and we have surrounded the hunting grounds of the Spring Patrol Hunting, please rest assured!"

"That's good. ”

Catherine nodded: "Go ahead, tell the students the news, let them get ready, this is the biggest day of their first year in the Scarlet Castle, whether they can go on or not, it depends on this day." ”

"Yes, sir!"

In the crowd, Instructor Haimu did not leave for a long time.

"Haimu, is there something wrong?"

Catherine asked.

"Yes. ”

Haimu looked around, and the rest of the people were already far away, so he lowered his voice and said, "This is not the first time that my subordinates have mentioned this matter, Lord Catherine, do you really think that the spring patrol hunting is so necessary?"

"Here you go again. ”

Catherine pursed her red lips, looked at him indifferently with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said: "Spring patrol hunting is a rule that has been inherited by the Scarlet Castle for hundreds of years, and this rule has always been there before I was born, and the upper echelons of the Knights of Light have always praised the results of the Spring Patrol hunting, so whether the Spring Patrol hunting ground is reasonable or not, this is not something I can change." ”

Haimu clenched his iron fist: "In this way, won't this group of originally vigorous geniuses be forced into beasts?"

"Yes, but that's okay. ”

Catherine smiled playfully and said, "Haimu, have you forgotten the battle fifteen years ago? The 200,000 elites of the Bright Knights fought a decisive battle with the Demon Beast Legion for more than three months, and what was the final result? Our 200,000 elites lost more than half, and it was only after the Apocalypse led away the ninth-order demon beast Hell Dragon and Lion that we were able to win a miserable victory, our strongest enemy is the demon beast, so even if these students become beasts, what can they do?"

"The subordinate understood. ”

Haimu sighed, bowed and saluted: "Subordinates retire." ”

"Go ahead, let Lorain be careful. ”

"Yes!"

......

At night, in a corner of the training ground, the light of the torches flickered and swayed, and under the light, a group of students stood in a row, including Loraine, Avril, Rodney and others.

"Spring Hunt?" Rodney frowned.

"Yes, Spring Patrol Hunting. ”

Hai Mu's eyes were low, and he said: "Every class of Scarlet Cage students must undergo the bloody baptism, you are not qualified to refuse, you can only accept the test of Spring Patrol Hunting." ”

"What...... What is Spring Patrol Hunting?" asked one of the cadets cautiously.

"Hmph, don't ask. ”

Caroline's eyes were filled with disdain, and she said, "Didn't you hear of this infamous Spring Patrol hunt before you entered the Blood Cage?"

"Nope. A group of students shook their heads.

Caroline's eyes cleared, and she asked, "Instructor, can I speak?"

"Say it. Haimu waved his hand slightly.

"Hmm. ”

Caroline frowned and said: "The so-called Spring Patrol Hunt is to drive all the students in the blood-colored cage into a sacred mountain, and everyone will wear a bracelet that cannot be opened by themselves, and the student who wants to get out of the Spring Patrol Hunting Ground alive must have two bracelets, that is, he must kill a student in order to pass the test of Spring Patrol Hunting, instructor, am I right?"

"That's right. ”

Haimu gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone has heard clearly, once you enter the hunting ground of the Spring Patrol Hunt, the harsh hunting requirements will turn you from a human to a beast, but I ...... I hope that you are still human, and I hope that you, as my Haimu's students, can unite together and come back alive!"

"Yes, Instructor!"

A group of young students nodded in unison.

At this time, another student said, "Instructor, what if...... If you kill each other, and in the end the bracelet is not taken by others, then ...... Can that survive?"

"No, you can't. ”

Mikala's beautiful eyes showed a deep color, and she bit her red lip and said: "The spring patrol hunt lasts for three days, and after three days, the army of the Knights of Light will enter, and then they will start to clear the field without mercy!"

"Clearance ......"

All the trainees were shocked.
