Chapter 496: A Shadow Hiding in the Shadows

William turned his head to look at the butler beside him who was leading the way.

The old man's face was ordinary, as if he was accustomed to this dirty environment and a slightly pungent smell, and he walked forward without paying attention, even if the cowhide boots stepped on a pile of accumulated sewage, and the sword qi was turbid liquid.

There was a slight pause.

William dodged the splashes of sewage, and then he saw the sewage flying towards Aaron, and wanted to warn him, but found that the sewage had disappeared into nothingness before it was near.

Slightly stunned, he knew that it was the warlock's means, so he didn't pay attention to it and continued to look at the surrounding environment.

Although his house had been in the middle of the road for a while, he had never really seen such a dirty place except for the place where the cattle were raised and the toilet.

Not to mention that compared to Tita Manor, even Baron Little's Cansandia town is a hundred times cleaner than here.

The cowhide boots rubbed against the stones, and William suddenly remembered that he was still like this, why did Aaron, who had a slight habit of cleanliness, not react at all?

Thinking of this, he quietly looked towards Aaron and looked at it carefully, and then his face suddenly appeared.

It turned out that Aaron was actually walking in the air, although each step seemed to be on the ground, but in fact it was not really on the ground, but there was a gap of about one centimeter.

Envy!

William's eyes lit up with envy.

Perhaps sensing William's displeasure, Aaron glanced at the other party faintly and shook his head imperceptibly.

This idiot.

In fact, with William's strength, although he can't do it like him, he can still avoid being contaminated.

Although it is only a small thing, it can also be seen that although William seems to be clever, he is still a little old-fashioned and does not know how to be flexible.

This can't be done, if you want to become my disciple, although you don't need to be smart, but you can't be old-fashioned.

After entering the inner city completely, William and the others directly turned over their horses, frowning at the dilapidated shanties around them, as well as the ragged poor people, and their evaluation of the fort was a little lower.

Although there were frequent wars between the nobility, basic hygiene was ensured.

Aryan had expected this, because it was similar to medieval Europe in the previous life, and according to some information from the previous life, it was normal for this situation to occur.

The steward who led the way in front also rode a lean old horse.

Turning his head to continue to humbly lead the way and greet Aaron, he couldn't help but feel a little envious when he saw the war horse under Rick's crotch.

He couldn't help but sigh: "They are all high-grade war horses." ”

"I'm not a war horse. William smiled and patted the bear beneath him.

"I'm about to become a strange beast, which is more precious than a war horse. ”

The butler who can become a viscount, even if he is old, his eyes are still very sharp.

"Mr. Aaron, where is your war horse?" The butler couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw that Aaron was still on foot and had no war horses.

Aaron shook his head: "I don't have a war horse, but I have a thin horse, but this horse is too thin, I'm afraid to take it out and scare you." ”

"It's just a horse, no matter how thin it is, at most it's just skin and bones, and it's not so scary. As soon as the butler heard that it was a thin horse, he said indifferently.

"In that case, then I might as well be respectful. Aryan nodded and waved his hand toward the clearing.

A bone horse with black bones on its feet and a completely black skeleton appeared in front of everyone's eyes!

Like a swarthy skeleton made of black iron, the never-extinguishing flame of the underworld and the black soul fire unique to the undead of the Black Iron Realm..... All of this is shocking.

"Devil!"

The whole shed area was lively in an instant, one by one shouting in horror, while running home, the housekeeper also fell off the horse's back the moment the bone horse appeared, looking at the bone horse that suddenly appeared, with a shocked face.

"I'll just say it's scary, you want me to take it out. Aaron shrugged his shoulders, looking like it wasn't my business.

William, they were speechless for a while when they heard this, they just said it casually, when did they want you to take it out.

But I have to say that the appearance of this bone horse is too terrifying, just by looking at it, it feels as if the soul is frozen!

Because they often saw Fenrir and other strange beasts, William and the others were only slightly shocked when the bone horse appeared, and then carefully observed the bone horse.

There's no way to be a mount!

William et al. eventually came to a conclusion.

Not to mention how uncomfortable it is to sit without flesh and bones, the key is that this bone horse is burning with raging fire and can't ride at all.

"Mr. Aaron, this horse ...... Can't you ride it, right?" William asked curiously, although the flame didn't feel a trace of temperature, but looking at the hoof prints of the burning flames left on the ground by the bone horse, he knew that this flame was not trivial, how could the flesh and blood body bear it.

"That's because you're too weak. ”

Aaron directly turned over on his horse and told William with facts whether this bone horse could be used as a mount.

"Uh......" Looking at the saddle conjured by the Hellfire, William and the others were speechless.

I can really ride!

......

After all, he is the steward of the viscount, and his knowledge is still a little broader than that of ordinary people, although he is still trembling and trembling, he can still do it by continuing to exercise the duty of leading the way.

It's just that there aren't as many words as they first started.

Continue further into the Solid Stone Fort along the way.

The Pass Fortress was actually built quite well.

The lumber and quarries of the Lotters Mountains provide a large amount of high-quality wood and stone.

For example, when you enter the south side of the fort, there are more and more houses made of stone and wood.

Including those pedestrians, the clothes are not ragged, although they still seem to feel, but they have a little more figure in their eyes, and it is obvious that this is the useful civilian class in the Solid Stone Fort.

In other words, these people are working, taxpayers and wartime supplements.

If they were in the city, they would have been called citizens.

Of course, the situation of these civilians is very bad, or rather very frightened, because a black horse made of bones with a raging flame walks the streets.

But neither the butler nor the Areen paid any attention to the civilians who were in a state of confusion out of fear.

However, they didn't notice that in the midst of the panicked crowd, there were several thin figures hiding in the shadows in the corners, silently watching them.

When these people saw the terrifying bone horse, although there was fear in their eyes, they did not have much panic.

Apparently they all knew each other.

After glancing at each other, they nodded lightly to each other, put on their hoods and left.

This one is flanked by wooden houses inhabited by civilians.

These hooded figures are not remarkable, as the fort is built in the valley of the mountain, and the mountain wind is relatively strong, so wearing a hood can protect against the wind.

Twists and turns.

They came to a hidden alley somewhere.

Turning their heads to see that there was no one around, leaving a realm, the others burrowed into some wooden house in the alley, found the entrance to the basement, and rushed in.

The expected cramped storage basement didn't show up.

Instead, there was a staircase of a certain length that went diagonally downward, and as the staircase sank deep into the ground about five meters, another wooden door appeared, which was pushed open by the leader, and then the light of the candle flame leaked out, obviously there was a hole in it.

About ninety square meters of space, basement propped up with logs.

There is also a portal next to it, which seems to lead to other places.

But in the center, a man with a hood was sitting on a chair, holding a quill and writing something quickly, but he still noticed the arrival of these people, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Your Excellency!"

The man at the head stepped forward, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "The person you brought my attention to has arrived." ”

The quills paused slightly.

A drop of ink was left on the slightly yellowed papyrus.

"What?"

The man raised his head and revealed the face of a middle-aged man, with a faint hint of excitement in his eyes.

"The black-haired, black-eyed boy you brought my attention to is here......"
