Two days later.

Joe was taken out of the room and onto the bow deck.

"Is that Count Lorenzo's territory?" asked Sean.

The golden light of the sea antenna reflecting the morning light is shining, and a gray and white phantom floats on it, faintly visible.

He felt his heart tighten instantly, and his hands couldn't help but grasp the railing, leaning forward, for fear that he would miss a detail.

"That's right, that's Grand Duke Island!"

He finally returned, with the rescuers -

Farina, please hold on a little longer!

"There are two piers on the island, one facing east and west. Joe took a deep breath and said impatiently, "Ever since Lorenzo proclaimed himself a nobleman, the docklands have been guarded by guards. However, mainly to guard against the other nobles of the wolf heart, the merchant ships are not very strict. The problem is in the castle district, where the security is so tight that you can't even get in without a certificate of permission—"

He can be said to be suffocated.

In the past two days, Cajun Fez asked him many questions, but not a single one of them related to the operation of the church, let alone inquiring about the secrets of the church.

And his prejudice and abuse against Farina, until the later escape, work, and mutual assistance, are all asked in great detail, and when the language is not easy to express, Cajun will even let his disciple Röntgen play the role of Farina, trying to restore the scene in his memory.

Except for meal time, he couldn't even see the faces of Sean and the others.

It's as if they didn't care about the rescue.

Therefore, he finally seized this opportunity, and Joe poured out his thoughts at the fastest speed - whether the other party would listen to it or not, but as long as there was one place that could be used, it would be equivalent to one more chance of rescuing Farina.

"You don't need to worry about that, we have our own way," Sean interrupted him, "I called you out to let you meet someone and get acquainted with it beforehand." ”

"Yes...... Who?"

"The guide for this trip. ”

He whistled, and the two sailors quickly approached with a middle-aged man.

Joe recognized at a glance who the other person was.

"Hagrid, you traitor——!"

Also a member of the clerical establishment, Hagrid was his superior before he was transferred to assist Bishop Lorenzo.

"Tsk," Hagrid said dismissively, "you seem to be as faithful to the church. If Falina knew that you had taken refuge in the Grey Keep, she didn't know who the traitor would be. ”

"I ......," Joe was momentarily speechless.

"There's no need for arguments. Sean stood between the two, "Mr. Hagrid, you should know your mission, right?"

Facing the king's guards, Hagrid's voice immediately lowered considerably, "Yes, my lord, bring those two warriors into the castle." ”

"This is your only chance to atone for your sins, and it's up to you whether you can take it or not. ”

"It's no problem to enter the castle, but are you sure that only two are enough, my lord?"

He's actually worried about Grey Keep?

Jo was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, so it was so, no matter how many people Hagrid brought in, it would be an intolerable betrayal for Lorenzo, and if Grey Keep failed, he would also have no good fruit to eat, so it was better to hope that the latter could do it thoroughly.

"Don't worry, you'll see soon—" Sean sneered as he looked at the increasingly obvious silhouette of the Grand Duke Island, "they are the full body that has gained power, and they are the true Divine Punishment Samurai." ”

......

It wasn't until the dead of night that the rescue team of six left the dock and headed towards the castle.

In addition to Zoe and Betty, two First Army soldiers followed.

And they were apparently in charge of guarding Joe and Hagrid.

With the Earl's cronies himself as the "guide", the journey can be described as unimpeded. Even if the patrol came up for questioning, he would be dismissed by a few words.

The same is true of the guards at the entrance to the castle walls.

Even though the remaining five were wearing hoods, the guards did not ask much.

From this point of view, Hagrid is indeed deeply trusted by Lorenzo.

After passing through the courtyard, the Lord's Castle appeared in front of everyone.

According to Hagrid, Count Lorenzo's attack frightened Count Lorenzo, and he gathered all the moving Punishers into the bedrooms of the main building, no more than six.

In addition, the bedroom door has also been replaced with a solid door made of red copper, and it is said that ordinary people can't even push it, let alone break the lock to enter. Usually, if you want to enter and exit, you rely on the divine punishment samurai to open the bronze door.

"It's not hard to trick Lorenzo out of the bedroom, just say that you've found the secret of the treasure. Hagrid said as he walked, "But he's bound to take the Divine Punishment Samurai with him, and the presence of strangers in the hall will make the guards wary of finding a way to hide from them—"

"No, just tell us what floor the bedroom is," Zoe shrugged, "and take Joe to the dungeon and get the woman out." As for how we fight, it's none of your business. ”

Hagrid was stunned for a moment before responding, "Yes...... I know. ”

He straightened his bow tie, climbed the stone steps, and knocked on the side door.

An old janitor poked his head out, "It's Master Hagrid, why don't you come back without notifying me first-"

"Don't talk nonsense, I have something important to report to the Earl, get out of the way!"

"Okay, okay......" The other party quickly turned sideways and made a way, "But these people are ......"

"I arranged eyeliner at Kage Mountain. Why, do you want to find out the Earl's secrets?"

"Don't dare!" the old man immediately lowered his head.

Entering through the side door, and through the two partition walls, the group entered the interior of the castle.

Guarding the door of the hall has been replaced by a family guard in armor.

Seeing someone appear, the two guards approached with the hilt of their swords at their waists.

"Lorenzo's bedroom is on the fourth floor...... But I can't take you up......" Hagrid said in a low voice.

"Yo, isn't this Lord Hagrid, the Count has been saying your name lately. Are these your guests?" the guard saluted, turning to Zoe and the others, "Please wait outside the hall unless you have permission from the Earl—wait, this lady—"

I saw Zoe lift her hood and walk slowly towards him, and just halfway through his warning, a hand stuck in his neck.

"Mistress Hagrid, this is—" The other was the same, and before he could draw his sword, Betty's large hand was already on his neck.

"Click. ”

With a crisp sound in unison, the guard's head and neck suddenly twisted into a folded corner.

Hagrid and Joe gasped.

Is it something that a human being can do to break a neck with one hand?

But that's not all.

They carried the guards into the hall and hid their bodies behind them, a strange scene that prevented the rest of the guards from reacting immediately, "Hey, what the hell are you doing?"

"No...... No, you see, their feet didn't hit the ground!"

"What?"

The dim light of the fire affected everyone's vision, and by the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Zoe and Betty flashed out like a ghost, lunging at the unprepared guards, both targeting their necks exposed beyond their armor.

The long vigil is easy to relax, and their opponents are the equivalent of the strongest warriors in the human race, the transcendents.

Joe couldn't help but cover his mouth.

In less than a few breaths, the remaining four guards also broke their necks and collapsed to the ground.

Such overwhelming strength and speed, he had only seen in the Divine Punishment Army!

But the Divine Punishment Army is obviously a group of monsters with no ability to think, and it is not difficult for them to tear the enemy apart, but it is almost impossible to kill the opponent silently and skillfully like this!

He saw the same shock on Hagrid's face.

"They have gained full power, and they are true Divine Punishment Samurai. 」

Joe's mind echoed what Sean had said.

This is also ...... Roland Wimbledon's masterpiece?

He was no longer sure that His Majesty the Pope was the one who knew the secret best.

"Go ahead and go ahead," Zoe glanced at Joe, "whether the person you're trying to save is dead or alive, you can't stay in the dungeon, understand?"

"I ...... Got it. ”

After receiving an answer, the two turned and ran towards the stairs.

There were no guards in the stairwell, so Zoe and Betty climbed straight up to the fourth floor, only to see that the narrow corridor was lined with doors, which were supposed to be for maids or servants. At the end of the walkway, a large metal door fills it, refracting a dark red glow in the flickering candlelight.

"It's really a copper door. Zoe raised an eyebrow.

"What are you going to do?" said Betty, pouting, "If there is an iron lock hanging from the back, I don't think it will be able to break open." ”

If there is no road, then open a road. ”

"I want to ...... Yes, too. ”

Betty kicked open the wooden door next to the lord's bedroom and strode inside.

"Ahh

"Unfortunately, I'm not interested in girls. Betty untied her ties, her robe slipped off naturally, and a firearm of an extremely striking caliber appeared behind her, "If it's a handsome boy......

"Your words will only make her panic even more. Zoe sighed and grabbed the shotgun in her hand, "One, two......"

"Three!"

The two men pointed their guns at the wall and pulled the trigger together.

The deafening roar continued to explode, and the brick-built interior wall could not stop the repeated bombardment of 40 mm ammunition, and under the splash of debris, two rows of crooked bullet holes soon appeared in the wall.

Then Zoe slammed sideways and jumped straight into the large bedroom.
