"Shadow Knight?" Chen Yin repeated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Well, they're a group of killing machines trained by the Shadow Church, and while they don't know how to use cards, they're stronger than the Grey Orc Totem Warriors who also don't use cards. When you meet these guys, even the guys from the Inquisition have a headache. Lancelot shook his head.

"Inquisition? The Holy Light Church actually has such a functional department......"

Chen Yin smashed his mouth, the place where this name was given has always been the darkest, and he wanted to be sarcastic by habit, but considering that he was the only one who was not a member of the church, Chen Yin swallowed that sentence back into his stomach very familiarly.

"On the fringes of this kind of power, where the cards are often shuffled, the people of the Inquisition rarely appear, but in the vicinity of the City of Light, there are all kinds of ancient forces hidden, and they are all within the purview of the Inquisition. And the Shadow Church is also a common force on the judgment list. Aunt Jiya added.

"It seems that the people in the Inquisition have a headache, so this Shadow Knight is very strong, right?"

The five-minute visual sharing has not disappeared, and Chen Yin can still see the scene over there. As the Shadow Knights got closer, he could clearly see the team with an ominous aura.

The grass in the area they passed was yellow and withered, and even the ground where their mounts had stepped on it was glowing with faint black smoke and a little bit of corrosion. Even the mount under the crotch, although it looked very much like a purr, was actually a hundred times more violent than the docile eyes of the little donkey.

"This group ...... It's simply not human. Chen Yin frowned, he felt a trace of fear from the lark, and he didn't care about the visual sharing effect of the time, so he quickly suppressed the lark's desire to fly away, and guided it to gradually move away from the intersection in the grass.

Just when Chen Yin was busy communicating with the lark, Aunt Ji Ya sighed and said, "If it's just a strong strength, then they don't have to be afraid, the most troublesome thing about the Shadow Knights is that they can usually turn into ordinary people, and they don't even have any flaws, and even the ability to detect attributes can't identify them." ”

"And after being unsealed by the host, these seemingly ordinary people will instantly turn into demons, leaving no grass wherever they go...... I once went to a small lord's house that was attacked by the Shadow Knights, and not only did they kill everyone, but even the plants in the garden died! ”

"I saw that there would be a faint mist floating out of those Shadow Knights, and all the plants they touched would have withered and lost their leaves." Chen Yin nodded, "But what is the host?" ”

"Legend has it that the Shadow Knights are all dead, and the people who open their souls to their parasitism are the hosts of the Shadow Knights. In the Church of Shadows, the Shadow Knight has the same status as the Paladin, except that the Shadow Knight is the personal property of its host. Lancelot explained.

"That's ......"

A hazy thought gradually took shape in Chen Yin's mind.

"So, their purpose should be Her Highness?"

"Maybe." Angel's eyes were calm, and he couldn't see any fluctuations.

"So, there are people from the Shadow Church in the Holy Light Church, otherwise how would they know the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden?" Chen Yin's question is very poignant.

Aunt Jiya said disdainfully: "Nonsense! Tens of thousands of years of sworn enemies, if this intelligence work is not done well, how many times would they have been wiped out! ”

"Okay." Chen Yin noticed that even Angel didn't have any intention of refuting this statement, and it was obvious that the Holy Light Church was very clear about the infiltration of the Shadow Church. So Chen Yin's attention returned to how to deal with these knights.

"It's a little stronger than a totem warrior...... In this way, their own strength is almost the standard of a 6-star ordinary minion, right? Chen Yin turned his head to look at Aunt Ji Ya.

"It's okay if you understand that."

"In this way...... Chen Yin silently calculated, so that the other party would have 24 6-star Shadow Knights and 16 2-3-star strength slave cavalry.

If you add a 5-star ring bearer, Little Pound, and a quasi-legendary old butler, then their strength is far beyond the ability of Chen Yin and the others. It becomes difficult to get rid of the little tail behind you once and for all.

"Otherwise, let's go quietly, and they may not be able to catch up." Lancelot saw Chen Yin's hesitation and persuaded.

Chen Yin shook his head changeably: "No, this battle still has to be fought, not to mention completely wiped out, but at least it must hurt them, otherwise it will be dangerous to fight them again when we are tired or just after the battle is over." ”

"Map." Chen Yin beckoned, summoning a large piece of parchment—a map card that was also a parting gift from McCarthy's father.

After taking a closer look at the next route on the map, Chen Yin's finger rested on a place name: Blackwater Canyon.

……

Just as Chen Yin and the others were studying how to deal with the situation, a few kilometers away, the Shadow Knights slowed down their horses, and they dismounted more than ten meters away from the old butler, leading their mounts and slowly approaching.

When they were still about 5 meters away from the old butler, all the knights knelt down on one knee neatly and said in unison, "See the host." ”

"Get up, how are things going?" The old butler's anger still did not dissipate, which made his expression even colder than usual.

"A total of 1,786 were harvested, of which 352 were low, 1,423 were medium, and 11 were excellent. The Transmuting Nightmare mount uses 352 Inferior and 32 Medium. The Liberation Nightmare form uses 1200 medium, here 191 medium, and 11 superior. ”

As he spoke, the leading Shadow Knight handed a small bag into the old butler's hand.

The old butler gently pulled open the rope that tied the mouth of the bag, revealing a large pile of red beads the size of soybeans, of which eleven blood beads the size of grapes shone brightly, with a poignant halo.

As the eleven largest beads were exposed to the air, the eerie sound of children's laughter echoed in everyone's ears.

The laughter floating in the air faded away, but then a group of childish voices began to murmur, and it was hard to hear what they were saying in the heavy echo, but the words that were occasionally heard were the most vicious curses.

Although they were in the open field, little Pound and the slave cavalry all faintly felt a chill behind their backs, and they were sweating when they touched their hands.

"It's okay." The old butler picked up a bead of blood the size of a grape and looked at it with appreciation, and then actually put it in his mouth......

"Gollum."

…… Then swallowed!!

A heart-rending scream from a childish voice was as far away as an echo from the sky.

Little Pound and the slave cavalry looked at each other, completely unaware of what was happening in front of them. Finally, little Pound mustered up the courage to ask, "That...... Lord Elder is fine, right? ”

"He's happy to give everything he has for the Pound Empire and the host." The leading Shadow Knight spoke in a very respectful tone, but Pound noticed a cruel smile on his lips.

“…… That's good. Little Pound blinked, pretending not to see anything, and said with relief. It was only when he looked down that his eyes became worried.

"Lord Host, the scale armor you confessed." The Shadow Knight leader presents a blackened red scale armor.

"This Nightmare Scale Armor uses the dorsal skins of thirty-three virgins, and it is considered the top among the Nightmare Scale Armor."

After the old butler took it, he handed the blood-smelling scale armor to little Pound with a smile on his face, "Young master, this one is no worse than what they are wearing, do you like it?" ”

Little Pound took the scale armor and gently stroked the purple cherry tattoo on the shoulder of the scale armor, which was already blurred, and trembled slightly......

"What's wrong? Don't like it? The old butler asked casually.

"Hey, I like it." Little Pound quickly adjusted his mood and replied casually.

"If you like it, it's fine." The old butler smiled slightly, turned his gaze to the bearded man, and said slowly in an extremely oppressive tone, "Now, find them for me." ”

"Yes! Be! Be! I'm on horseback, right away, right away, ......right away, right away,

The mustache jumped off the horse's back with urine, drew his waist knife and stabbed his wrist fiercely, and at the same time took out all kinds of herbs and unknown animal entrails, mixed with his own blood and mashed into a puree.

After making the secret medicine, he didn't even have time to bandage the wound on his wrist, and he ran quickly to the distance with a wooden bowl holding the medicine mud and swayed it, a pungent smell, but very unpleasant, spread in the swaying, and the occasional breeze mixed with a wisp of this special smell, caught it far away......

After a while, the pale mustache, who had been waiting profusely and sweating, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Several huge birds slowly appeared in the sky.

As if unable to resist the temptation of the strange smell, several large birds slowly fell from the sky at a time.

It wasn't until this point that it was clear that their claws were the size of a basketball just by their claws! The whole bird stands on the ground and is even close to the height of an adult man! The sharp and curved beak shows that they are definitely ferocious carnivores.

However, under the influence of the strange smell, several big birds slowly came to the small wooden bowl and stood still, as if they were enjoying the strange smell, and after a while they gradually closed their eyes, as if they were asleep.

"......Huh" It was only at this time that the bearded man's heart really put down a big stone, and the whole person walked much more relaxed.

As he waited, he had already lit up his card ring containing two soul crystals. Now he slowly walked up to the big birds, put a special metal chain around the big birds' necks, and then took out a blank card and stuck it on the big birds' heads, and shouted:

"Seal!"

The two crystals shatter into a mist and burrow into the card, which then burrows into the bird's head.

The big bird, which was already in a state of stagnation, suddenly shook his body, opened his eyes, and pecked at the mustache with a fierce face.

But as soon as it attacked, the thin iron chain around its neck suddenly tightened! Even strangled its neck bone directly!

"Phew! Dead thing! The mustache kicked the twitching bird in a rage, untied the chain around its neck, and brought it to the head of the other bird, and took a cautious look at the silent old butler, and then held a soul stone and lit the crystal cross-legged.

Time passed minute by minute......

It wasn't until the third time that Mustache managed to seal Big Bird into the card. The sweaty mustache didn't even bother to wipe the sweat, so he quickly recovered the two crystals again and released the big bird.

"Young master, I've kept you waiting. Next, we may have to wait a little longer, and the search will take some time. The old butler looked apologetic.

"It's okay, it's already a great honor to see the legendary Whistle Eagle refined. Whether it's summoning the eagle or sealing, it's too exciting. Even if it's a champion gladiator...... Ahem, it didn't so much. ”

Little Pound suddenly realized something as he spoke, looked apologetically at the surrounding slave cavalry, and continued: "No wonder it is said that the Shadow Church has a heritage that is not inferior to the Holy Light Church, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. ”

"Young Master, you have won the prize." The old butler said modestly.

Suddenly, the old butler seemed to notice something, and asked strangely, "What?" Don't you like the Dark Scales? Why didn't you give it a try? ”

"I'm just ......," Pound's expression stiffened.

"Try it, I'll punish him if the black hook doesn't have the right eye." The old butler looked at little Pound with a kind face.

Under the eyes of the old butler and countless Night Knights, little Pound smiled reluctantly: "...... Good. ”

But before he could put the scale armor on his body, his face was already bloodless, like a corpse's mustache, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Found it!" Got it! I finally found ......"

By the end, his voice was even a little choked.

"Location." The old butler withdrew his forced gaze and impatiently interrupted the mustache's gibberish, and the other Shadow Knights also looked away with the old butler.

"It's just upstream of the Blackwater River, and it's going downstream along the Blackwater River!" The mustache quickly replied.

"Blackwater River? What's in the lower reaches of the Blackwater River? The old butler tilted his head slightly, looking at the Black Hook, the captain of the Night Knight.

"Blackwater Canyon. Passing through the Blackwater Canyon is the Orc Plateau, which is the closest road to the Orc Plateau. If you don't go to Blackwater Canyon, you can find some small towns further downstream, and if you take a boat down the river, you will soon reach Melkid. ”

"No, not Melkid." The old butler shook his head, "It seems to be the Orc Plateau...... No wonder Christian also chose to ride the driftstone on the Orc Plateau......"

"Get on the horse! Let's go! Let's go to Blackwater Canyon! With a wave of the old butler's hand, the 24 Shadow Knights stroked their chests with their right hands, and then without saying a word, they turned over and jumped on the nightmare mounts with bloodthirsty lights in their eyes, and took the lead in opening the way.

"Young Master, let's go too, shall we?" The old butler asks for instructions.

"Of course." Little Pound smiled and nodded.

It wasn't until the old butler chased after the Night Knights that little Pound stared down at the blurry but still bright purple cherry tattoo on the shoulder of the scale armor on his hand.

Unconsciously, little Pound clenched his fists, and he didn't notice that his mouth was bleeding.

"Betty ......" (To be continued.) )
