As soon as he returned to the castle, Lucien saw Joanna come out of the corridor with a two-handed greatsword.

"Lord Evans, the corpse golem in the castle lost control after you killed the evil necromancer, but we've cleaned it up. Joanna lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, as if respectfully reciprocating.

In her heart, in addition to the fear and admiration for the strength of the knight Lucien, there was also a lot of dissatisfaction. One of his powerful paladins hired himself and others to protect the adventurer team in order to confuse the line of sight, and to hide from Baron Habero and the necromancer to investigate and raid. But in this way, herself, her husband, and her sister had to get involved in the battle between the strong with weak strength, and they were almost killed by that damned, terrifying owl.

Lucien looked left and right for a moment, and asked calmly, "Are there any living people in the castle?" where are Simon, Betty, Wise, and Mars?"

Joanna is not a girl like Betty, even if she is dissatisfied, she still answers very seriously in the face of the paladin's question: "Except for Mr. Mars, there are no living people in the castle, and they are all refined into corpse puppets by necromancers. Simon noticed that there was a riot in Grey Mist and rushed over to deal with it, suspecting that it was a small number of corpse puppets who had not escaped, Mr. Wise and Mr. Mars had been hiding in the storage room and had been afraid to come out, and Betty was vomiting in the bathroom. ”

"Vomit?" Lucien pinched the spellcasting material in his left hand.

Joanna's beautiful face also showed a disgusted expression: "When dealing with the corpse golem before, Betty found the ingredients for our upcoming dinner in the kitchen, they were all rotting pieces of human flesh, with eyes, tongues, fingers, and white maggots crawling on them......"

As she spoke, she was about to throw up, and that scene was obviously unbearable.

Lucien nodded, it seemed that the baron was preparing to use rotting corpse poison and other things in the food. In order to be able to deal with themselves more easily, but with the death of Kaylin, those materials are losing their glamorous appearance: "Lady Joanna. You don't have to call me sir, just call me Mr. Evans, I don't have a title or title. ”

Joanna looked up slightly confused, just in time to see Lucian's deep and charming eyes. The whole person immediately seemed to be caught in the vast dreamy starry sky and couldn't extricate himself, and his eyes were confused and admiring: "It's good, Mr. Evans." ”

Lucien slowly asked about her memories of the previous battle. After discovering that there was nothing wrong, hypnosis was used to modify the details a little without causing Joanna to rebound.

"I don't have a problem, Joanna, you go to Grey Mist to help Simon deal with it, so that he doesn't run into danger alone. Lucien lifted the "seduction of humanity".

Joanna suddenly sobered up, her cheeks flushed, and she had just stared at Mr. Evans in a daze, and thought he was full of charm. It's a shame, like a young girl! But with Mr. Evans's great strength, handsome appearance, elegant conversation, and gentle attitude, every woman must find him attractive, as long as she maintains an attitude of appreciation.

"Mr. Evans, I'll go to Grey Mist right away. She felt like her face was hot. So he walked quickly to the outside of the castle.

Lucien watched Joanna leave silently, then turned around and looked for an opportunity to deal with the small details of Betty's, Wise's, and Mars's memories, as well as the few traces of the battle in the baron's room.

............

The dim candle flame flickered in the bedroom, and Lucien looked at Simon, Joanna and Betty in front of him and said: "Thank you for maintaining the security of Grey Mist Town, and thank you for helping me during the battle, the belongings in Baron Habero's castle According to the agreement of the adventurers, you can get one-tenth, and the rest except my one-third will be handed over to Viscount Stanley and the church to deal with." Lock your room and don't give the thieves a chance. ”

Lucien still wanted to maintain his identity on the surface for the time being, so in order not to arouse the suspicion of the church and nobles, he did not wipe out Baron Habero's belongings, as if a passing knight had a normal deal after encountering this kind of thing by chance.

In fact, Baron Habero did not have much possessions, and the real value was his castle, domain and estate. Cash, because he wants to buy babies and children, maintain a luxurious life, and make connections, lest the bishops and priests of Corser's city find out that something is wrong with the chapel in Gray Mist, so there are only a total of sixty gold taler coins left, as well as the family heirloom second-level transcendent weapon "Boulder".

Except for a few at the top, it is difficult for the nobles of the south-central countries of the continent to get at least one or two magical or magical items like the nobles of Aalto who have titles and property, so the name of the most barren area of the continent is very appropriate.

Moreover, Baron Habero's only set of extraordinary armor was paid to Hunter, who was then mortgaged by Hunt to buy materials.

"Can we take twenty gold tales?" Simon, a shrewd and calm man, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, because a tenth of the possessions was not only a tenth of the coin, but also a discount on the transcendent sword. Only things with aristocratic qualities, such as castles, domains, and manors, are not counted.

According to Lucian's common sense from Natasha, in Aalto, apprentice-level transcendent items are probably within ten gold tales, low-level items (level 1, 2) range from tens to hundreds of gold tales, and mid-level items (level 3, 4, 5) are thousands to tens of thousands of gold talers, and the extraordinary items above this are difficult to calculate in money, and they are all direct exchanges of materials, items, territories, ports, cities, potions, knowledge, etc.

However, transcendent items have always been priceless, not only are they scarce, but they have not entered the magic circle, the noble circle, etc., and they cannot be bought with a gold taler. If it weren't for Natasha's knowledge of Lu Cien's strength as a quasi-knight, she wouldn't have told him about this at all, for example, Victor's annual income in the past was about a hundred gold talers, but he hadn't even touched a transcendent item.

"This two-handed greatsword is a second-level transcendent item, which allows the user's strength to be close to that of a third-level knight, crushing enemies like a boulder. Although there is a certain requirement for the amount of force, it is not expensive to value one hundred and forty gold talers. "Lucien was originally going to make up for Quintal and pick up this second-level two-handed greatsword, but it needed the strength of a full-fledged knight to pick it up, so it had to give up.

At the same time, Lucien also lamented in his heart that he did not give Baron Habero the opportunity to get the "boulder" at that time, otherwise things would be even more troublesome.

Simon, Joanna, and Betty looked at the pile of gold on the table with shiny eyes when they heard Lucian's words, and their expressions were a little excited. Even if they had a daily hiring assignment, the three of them did not eat or drink together, and they were only ten gold talers a year. If you want to really save twenty, you need at least four or five years of hard adventure.

"Thank you, Mr. Evans, but we didn't really do much. Joanna was humble at first. Then he hurriedly said as if he was afraid that Lucien would regret it, "But we all need money for formal knightly training, especially Betty can't delay any longer." So I can only accept it with a thick skin. ”

Lucien saw them put away Quintal and put the rest into his money bag, and then smiled: "Before I go to Corser, I will instruct Betty to do some formal knight training, hehe, the previous arrow is really timely, you can also follow along." ”

On the one hand. Lucien was indeed grateful, on the other hand, when they were questioned by the church, the fact that they could conduct formal knightly training could be known by the church, and the evidence on the side was even stronger.

"Really?" said Betty's look of excitement. You must know that the knights trained in Corser City are all nobles who are close to bankruptcy, and they themselves have not stimulated the strength of the bloodline, which can compare to the guidance of a powerful paladin like Mr. Evans!

Joanna and Simon also thanked each other, "Thank you so much, Lord Evans!"

Lucien waved his hand: "I am not a paladin, nor a nobleman, just a quasi-knight of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Because there are a lot of magic and magic items on your body, you seem to be powerful, so don't spread it around. ”

Before Joanna and the others answered, Lucien said, "By the way, I was corrupted by the decay and death aura in the battle with the necromancer, and I was not lightly injured, and I need to recuperate quietly tonight, so don't disturb me." And under such an injury, I can't rush to Wolf Town in advance to report to the church, so I can only ask you to keep a good vigil tonight, and everyone will set off to Wolf Town tomorrow morning. ”

Wolf Town is the next town on this route, and it also belongs to Baron Habero, but the priest probation in the town's church should not have been refined into a corpse puppet.

"Yes, Mr. Evans. Another rich monetary reward, and another promise of regular knightly training, Simon, Joanna, and Betty no longer had any hidden grievances, and answered in unison with great excitement and joy.

............

As the night darkened, the castle with only a few people seemed quieter and darker, more mysterious and darker.

Lucien lay quietly in the bedroom, playing with the invitation Hunter had received, the previous claim that he was corrupted by the breath of death was just a lie, and the real reason was that he had one more important thing to do.

Glancing at the invitation in his hand again, Lucien carefully compared it with another one in the Soul Library:

The same wording, the same lack of letterhead and signature, but the two invitations each had a different marking, one with a black six-pointed star and the other with a small part of the inverted tree of life, which seemed to correspond to the recipient one by one. ”

"Well, it's very likely, the Magician's Death Feast will definitely prevent the Church from sending people to fake their identities and mix them up, and only such an invitation letter can prevent something like this from happening if there is only one verified and no problem with the magician. This part of the inverted tree of life represents Hunter, and the black six-pointed star represents the apprentice, and when the invitation he got did not match his identity, he naturally snatched it from the original owner. ”

"According to the careful thinking of the magicians, they will certainly also guard against the danger of the Church seizing people and torturing them for information and location. ”

"In that case, how am I going to get in?"

Lucien had already thought of a plan in his heart, but he needed to take a lot of risks, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"After the news of Hunt spreads, the Death Feast will definitely change the time and place, after all, he is an official necromancer who has been invited. ”

"Unless I stay for a long time, it's hard for me to get in touch with the local magicians, where can I get the changed time and place? ”

"Looks like we need to take some risks!"

Lucien took out the morning crystal ball and began to use astrology for divination.

The result of the divination was "good luck and evil unknown", blurred to a certain extent, so that Lucien shook his head helplessly, but still opened the suitcase, changed into a black robe with a hood, pushed open the window, and quietly sneaked out.

Although Grey Mist was still more than seven days away from Corser, it would take only two or three hours to cross mountains, cliffs, and woods at knightly speed on a winding mountain road, and Lucien was ready to visit Karen Dia Castle tonight! )
