Chapter XXXV. Operation of the Knights

The person who manages the soul nameplate of the Kingdom Knights is a minister named Asla, who is white and fat, and usually smiles, but is known as the "Smiling Tiger of the Imperial Capital", and is the second head of the royal court, and his status is not high. How many people who want to entrust him with things have to endure his exploitation, and many people are ruined because of his connections.

And now, it is this "smiling tiger" who has always only bullied people, has never only shown others his face, and has been arrogant when he sees everyone, but he is trembling like chaff and pale, like a mourning woman.

trembling and trembling, he walked to the spot, his upper teeth pounded his lower teeth, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, no, I didn't find out......"

"What did you say?"

Before he could finish speaking, Handar V, who was sitting on it, interrupted him abruptly and asked rhetorically in a slightly raised voice.

Asra was about to cry, and as soon as her legs went limp, she fell to her knees with a pop.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not the fault of the lower officials, the lower officials have already found the palace magician, but the court magicians said that they can't extract the soul from the nameplate, and if they can't extract the soul, they can't know the situation over there, and the lower official has tried his best, it's really not the fault of the lower official!"

While crying, Asra also kowtowed his head vigorously, banging, and his forehead was black and blue in just three or four strokes.

"Really? Someone, call Fernandez here. ”

There was still no joy or anger on Handar V's face, and his voice was faintly full of majesty.

After a short time, the archmage of the court, Fernandez, walked in, forty or fifty years old, wearing a purple and gold-embroidered mage robe, and holding a magic staff more than a person high, and the tip of the staff was a ruby the size of a human head. Fernandez is the chief of the court magicians, and the existence of the same identity as the chief of the Kingdom Knights, only forty-eight years old, he is already an eighth-level magister, and he is proficient in fire, and his strength is very strong.

Fernández walked in with a calm face, and without looking at Asra, who was kneeling on the ground, he walked straight to Handar V, made a gentle mage salute, and stood aside.

"Fernandez, is it true that Asra just said that the nameplate could not get the memories of those knights during their lifetimes?"

"Yes, Lord Asra is right, my esteemed majesty."

Fernandez bowed to Handar V like an elegant nobleman and whispered.

"Oh? Is that really the case? Do you know why? ”

"Your Majesty, there are only two reasons for this situation."

"Tell me about it."

"That's right, the working principle of the nameplate is to split the soul of each knight of the Knights, and inject a small part of the split soul into the nameplate, so that the nameplate and the life of each knight are connected, plus some special means, if the knight dies, everything they experienced in the first half hour of death will be transferred from their main soul to the secondary soul in the nameplate, although this soul will also dissipate after it, but that memory will be preserved. Now that the souls of those knights have dissipated, but there are no memories left, there can only be two reasons for this situation. The first possibility is that the connection between their main soul and the secondary soul was detected by the enemy, and the memory was intercepted by powerful means, but it is very difficult to do this, not only does it require strong strength, but also a very deep soul study.

As you know, since the Battle of Exterminating Souls two hundred years ago, necromancers on the continent have been very rare, only on the side of the Dark Alliance there are still remnants, and even if there are any, most of them are only two or three kittens. According to our analysis, if you want to intercept the soul, you need at least the Magister level, the Magister-level necromancer, and there is no such powerful existence among the known necromancers on the continent now, so this guess, we all feel that the possibility is not very high. ”

Fernández spoke eloquently, and the ministers present, including Handal V above, bowed slightly. Asra on the ground, hearing Fernandez's explanation, finally looked better, at least with Fernandez's explanation, he could prove that it was not his fault.

"So, what is the second possibility?"

Fernandez's explanation made everyone a little curious, and Handar V even took the initiative to ask.

"Your Majesty, the second possibility, in fact, is also very unbelievable for us."

Saying this, Fernandez paused slightly, looked around, as if organizing the language, and only after a few seconds did he slowly speak.

"According to our guess, if it is not for the powerful force to cut off the communication between the main and auxiliary souls, then there is only one possibility, that is, the soul of those knights has been devoured alive the moment they are killed. The main soul is devoured, and naturally it is impossible to transmit the message to the secondary soul. However, the existence of this possibility is still not high, you must know that the speed of transmitting messages between the main and secondary souls is very fast, and it only takes a few seconds to get here from the farthest part of the empire. With such a quick effort, it is very difficult to intercept it, and it is very difficult to absorb the soul before the message is delivered. If you want to do this, you have to be at least the level of a great magician. There are three known necromancers at the level of great magicians, namely Anrita the Bone Saw, Soul Detention Moli and Death Singer Kurdo, and these three people, the first two are the elders of the Dark Alliance, and the latter one is also the tower master of the Tower of the Dead, with their identity, it is not easy to come to our side in the first place, even if they come, they will not take a few knights out of anger, so ......"

Fernández didn't say anything more, but his meaning was already clear.

Either this is due to some special ability, or there is a new powerful necromancer, and a wild mage that no one knows about and has no record.

For a moment, everyone in the hall fell silent, and only the sound of breathing remained. Everyone kept their mouths shut, quietly thinking, thinking about whether this sudden appearance of the necromancer was a good thing or a bad thing for the entire Handal Kingdom.

"So, can you know where the knight of this squad was when the accident happened?"

After a while, Handar V suddenly spoke and asked lightly.

"Your Majesty."

Hearing his words, the head of the Knights of the Kingdom, who had been standing aside and had not spoken, stepped out.

"Your Majesty, the fifth team went out to convey the conscription order, according to their own internal arrangement, the area in charge of this third team should be Songhai County and Oland County, according to the time, if there are no problems along the way, the place where they had an accident should be near the five small towns in the north of Oland County, I have already lined up the fourth team to check, and the other teams of the fifth team are also rushing over there, according to their speed, they should have arrived at the place of the incident by now. If they are fast enough, the murderers who killed the knights of our knights will definitely be surrounded by a group, a total of 20,000 knights, I believe that those murderers will have no way to escape. ”

The sonorous words of the chief of the Knights finally brought a slight smile to Handal's face.

Obviously, he was satisfied with the arrangement of the chief regiment.

And with his smile attached to his face, the atmosphere of the entire royal court suddenly relaxed, and even Asla, who was kneeling there, quietly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped a handful of sweat oozing from his forehead.

……

On the other side, on a small hill fifty kilometers from the small town of Ella.

"Really, isn't it just a look, and I didn't do anything, as for doing this to me, I'm not an Internet addict teenager, are you a sheep or ......a beast?"

Gao Zhen muttered at the lowest, gently rubbing his arm.

He woke up half an hour ago, and when he came together, he hurried away for fear of being "punished" by Mai Trin again.

Mai Tamin didn't pay attention to her, just glared at her viciously, and pulled Orihime to the side to whisper to the girl. Orihime had no choice, she had the heart to come over and take care of Gao Zhen, but she couldn't refuse Maikoto, so she could only smile apologetically at Gao Zhen.

Gao Zhen, who was a little hairy just now, saw this sweet smile, and felt a little better, but it was still full of "resentment".

Listening to Gao Zhen's words, the ferret standing next to him smiled helplessly.

"My lord, you are really, how can you show that expression to a girl...... No wonder people will call you, if it were me, I'm afraid it would be ......"

"Hey~ What, isn't it normal for a man to look at a woman? You also like beautiful women, right?,Especially very beautiful girls, you'll look at them more often.,Is it my fault? ”

"Uh...... That's right......"

Faced with Gao Zhen's rhetorical question, Itachi scratched his head, and he didn't know what to say.

"Well, my lord, how is the system, has there been any change?"

Itachi, who knew that he would never be able to say anything about his own adults in this regard, hurriedly changed the topic.

Sure enough, Gao Zhen's attention was diverted, and as soon as he heard Itachi's question, he told about the changes in the system at that time, and Winter Shiro, Luo and Bruce also wanted to come up when they heard it, although Mikoto and Orihime in the distance were far away, but they also seemed to be paying attention to this side, and if you looked closely, you could obviously find that the two of them were listening carefully to the movement here.

When they heard that the system had been able to create S-class characters at this time, everyone showed a hint of a smile, except for Orihime and Bruce, the others present were not mediocre, they naturally understood what level they were, and when they heard that there were still masters who were more powerful than themselves, everyone felt safer and more at ease, and at the same time, they also became high-spirited because they had the goal to chase. Especially the Winter Shilang, don't look at his age and cold personality, but he is actually an out-and-out belligerent inside, otherwise he would not be the captain of the Juban team.

What he wants to do most is to become stronger in addition to protecting Gao Zhen, but now he seems to have entered a bottleneck, and there is only time left for him to improve, and he doesn't even have the goal of improving for a while. Now that he heard that there would be a stronger enemy, he was secretly happy in his heart, and the expression on his face seemed to become more vivid.

"Hmm-"

Just when several people were gathered in a group full of excitement, Stark, who was lying motionless on the ground in the distance, suddenly let out a moan.

Everyone's attention was attracted at once, and even Gao Zhen quickly stood up and walked to Stark's side.

"How does it feel?"

The first time he walked over, Gao Zhen asked with concern.
