Selinda walked through the kitchen to a side room, where her maid, Nina, was nervously wearing a handy shirt and pants like Selinda. Seeing Selinda appear, she breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly greeted her, and handed a small bag in her hand to Selinda.

"Are you ready?" Selinda opened the bag and checked it, then tied it up and tied it around her belt.

Nina nodded vigorously and replied, "Let Byron go." He hated the Imperials the most, and when I provoked a few random sentences, he screamed to teach them a lesson. ”

"One person is not enough. ”

"He's got a couple of buddies and whether Byron wins or loses, he's going to go one after the other. ”

"Well done, hopefully they can delay enough time for us to go. ”

Selinda and Nina walked briskly out of the side hall. Because of the dinner, most of the people in the castle were almost concentrated in the banquet hall, and they didn't meet anyone along the way. After a while, the two of them came to the upstairs guest room area, and finally stopped at the door of Xiao Chen's room.

"You're guarding around the corner, and if anyone is there, break them off. Selinda pulled out the spare key to the door and inserted it into the lock......

————————————————————

In the banquet hall, the atmosphere is getting more and more enthusiastic, and although the wine and malt wine are not high, some people are already starting to drink it. People with flushed faces were shouting or singing, and some of them were pushing each other because of their discord.

Roger was tasked with protecting Xiao Chen, and he was not greedy for a cup, he ate fruit while paying attention to his surroundings vigilantly. At this time, he noticed that several people dressed as warriors stood up at the opposite table, stood up and slowly walked towards him.

The first one was tall, muscular, and had a square, angular face. With his stomach held up, his hand on the hilt of his sword, he walked up to Roger's side, and condescendingly swept over the few people present with a pair of sharp eyes. Roger recognized him as one of the Earl's knights, Barron, one of the few swordsmen in the castle guard.

"Imperial, I hear you have been boasting about the power of the Empire? It's this book again, it's that book again, and you're quite proud?"

"I'm just telling some facts. Not to mention anything else, is there any ancient history that was not written by scholars of the empire? How many of the world's famous books were not written by the great writers of the empire? I really can't boast about these things. Roger quietly replied to the other party's provocation.

Byron snorted and waved his hand, "What history books do we warriors talk about? Only sissy empires think about these things." The sword is what we want to compare. In the past few days, I have seen you dangling around the training ground, and my hands have been itchy for a long time. Do you dare to compete today and cheer up the adults?haha!"

The warriors who followed him burst into laughter.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the empire people present changed color, and for the soldiers, these words were already considered humiliating. Even Ye Zi and Shi Hao couldn't listen to it, and they all glared at Byron angrily.

But Roger's face remained calm. He stood up, half a head shorter than Carlos, but his momentum was not weak. He said in a deep voice: "I am just a weapon in the hands of Lord Xiao Chen now, only he can wield me, no matter how much you say, it will mean nothing to me." However, whether the Imperial people are sissies or not, I can tell you with this sword that it has drunk the blood of seventy-five kings in the hands of an ordinary Imperial person. ”

"Damn Imperial dogs!" Byron gritted his teeth as he gritted his sword grip and stared at Roger, as if he was about to draw his sword and slash at someone in the next second. The other fighters behind him also clamored loudly, almost as if they were about to rush up and eat Roger alive. The war between the empire and the kingdom has been going on intermittently for many years, and almost every warrior's family has died on the battlefield of confrontation, even if there have been no major wars in recent years, but for these people, hatred has been dissolved in blood.

At this time, Shi Hao stood in front of Roger, a five-four-style pistol was already in his hand, and he said coldly to Byron and the others: "There is only Master Xiao Chen's guard here, there is no emperor ** person, you had better think clearly before you do anything, any use of force will be regarded as an attack on the Black Mountain Magician." ”

"Little thing, you don't even have the fighting spirit, and you dare to make noise in front of me?"

Shi Hao pointed to the pistol in his hand, then aimed at Carlos's head, and said, "I don't know if you have heard of a guy named Cadiz, it is said that he is the most powerful horse thief in the neighborhood, and he has what kind of blood fighting spirit. But in the end, I was shot and jumped. ”

At this time, the others also grasped their weapons, as if their swords were about to be unsheathed, and even Ciro took out a small dagger and held it in his hand.

Byron was suddenly startled, and suddenly the situation was out of control, he knew that the Count had just reached a series of cooperation with the magicians, and he would never want to see the mage's retinue, and he suddenly felt that it was difficult to ride the tiger.

Fortunately, at this time, the earl, Xiao Chen and Li Jia had already walked down from the main table.

The Count stood between the two groups and said in a joking tone, "Byron, you troublemaker, are you challenging everywhere again?

"Your Excellency, you can't describe the challenge that a knight is about to make. Challenges have always been sacred. Carlos replied.

"No, I'm not aiming for the challenge, I'm just talking about the idiot who is about to ruin up the dinner. The Earl shook his head helplessly and said, "Lord Xiao, I have a lot of vulgar guys here, and I don't have anything but fists in my head. However, their pursuit of combat is worthy of recognition. How about you just let them compare? It's an after-dinner entertainment. ”

"Roger. What do you think?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Knights never shy away from challenges, please give me this chance. Roger said earnestly.

——————————————————————

Xiao Chen's room was not big, and Selinda did a cursory search, and soon found a box stuffed under the bed by Xiao Chen. It was a black trolley case, which seemed to Selinda to be as delicate as the other tools of the magicians.

The outer shell of the case is the kind known as "plastic", and near the handle of the case there are three digital locks that can be turned, which jam the zipper of the case. It was not difficult for Selinda to open a lock of this magnitude, and a magic that enhanced her perception would allow her to distinguish the sound of the lock disc turning. The real problem, however, is the magic words that dot the surface of the chest. Judging from Selinda's limited knowledge of the magic array, these layers of nested magic texts contain multiple effects such as reinforcement, alarm, attack, energy absorption, and magic resistance, which are the handiwork of high-level alchemists at a glance.

However, since she came prepared, Selinda would be stopped by these dead things. She untied the bag around her waist and pulled out a roll of tulle, a few dull golden crystals, and two bottles of powder, one red and one black, in the crystal bottle.

She spread the tulle on the floor of the room, two meters square, and there was an intricate circle drawn with light red and light black paint, and in many places there were notes written in small words, such as how to control the strength and how to control the mental power.

This is the tool used by many alchemists and magicians when drawing magic circles - the magic circle blueprint, and the lines and notes on it indicate how to draw magic circles, which can help people who are not skilled enough to draw the magic circle correctly. The material of tulle is a very demon-friendly star silk, which can maximize the effect of magic materials and eliminate the interference of impurities in low-grade materials. The tulle has also been soaked in the water of the Magic Crystal Pool and coated with the Saliva of the Magic Lizard, which can stabilize the operation of the magic circle. Therefore, using such consumables to draw a magic array can greatly enhance the success rate, and it also allows a magic knight like Selinda to have the opportunity to use a formation that exceeds his own level. However, such formations were often made by high-level alchemists, and they were very valuable, and only aristocratic families like the Arias family could afford them.

Selinda had studied this formation many times before preparing to act, and even drew it once or twice out of thin air, but to be on the safe side, she still took out the blueprint of the circle that she treasured at home.

Reviewing the drawing of the entire formation in her mind again, she uncovered the crystal bottles of red powder and carefully poured them on the red line on the blueprint of the magic circle, her movements were very slow, but the hands that practiced the sword every day were very steady. After pouring the red, she poured the black powder on the black line as well, and then placed eight dark golden forbidden crystals on the eight corners of the magic array. The Forbidden Crystal is a very rare hedron that, unlike the Elemental Crystal, which provides corresponding magical energy, the Forbidden Crystal's function is to suppress the surrounding magical effects. And this circle can greatly increase their power.

Selinda used her spiritual power to ignite the contacts of the magic array, and the red and black powder quickly turned into bands of light, and then linked the forbidden magic crystals together.

The Forbidden Demon Array is complete.

Selinda picked up the trolley case and placed it in the center of the formation, and soon the magic inscription engraved on the trolley box began to flash rapidly. Then, the rhythm of their flickering became slower and slower, and after three or four minutes the magic words had become very dull, completely suppressed by the circle.

Selinda dragged the box out of the magic circle, and she had about half an hour to do anything with the box before the magic on it absorbed the free energy recovery function in the air.

"Li Jia, I'm sorry, I've seen your entanglements in the past few days, it must be Xiao Chen who rejected your request to borrow my treasure. But the secret of becoming strong may be the only hope I have for greater power. Hopefully, there will be the answer I want in this box, and then everything will pass before you know it, so it's good for everyone. Selinda said to herself.

She unleashed a "soul perception" spell on herself, increasing her five senses, and then began to fumble for the combination lock on the box.
