Chapter 16: A glass of liquor before the great war
Knights who lived through the Hundred Years' War had an unwritten rule that on the eve of the Great War, they must have a drink of spirits with their best friends. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn that war-torn era, no one knew if they would ever return to their hometown alive. André drank a glass of liquor and dismissed the bartender.
The liquor was in his stomach, his throat was burning and aching, and he felt that his blood was boiling because of this glass of wine.
There were a total of five guards in the entertainment area, each of whom had at least the strength of a royal knight or above, and the people who followed him were no taller than the knight of the silver emblem, and they had no fear on their faces, just because André told them that Serena had been brought here by the people of Nightshade.
Some of them are for the Wind Furnace Academy, and some are for the dignity of the 175th class of students, but he is the only one, because of the apologies that kept him awake at night.
Andrey, why is it always against her?
After Serena's disappearance, he always asked himself that.
"Let's do it. ”
The glass fell to the ground and shattered, followed by the screams of the nobles and the merchandise, and more than a dozen knights suddenly burst into flames, and quickly subdued these usually well-pampered nobles, and by the time the guards reacted, several nobles were already under their swords.
It was absolutely stupid to clash head-on with the guards, but fortunately, these nobles gave them a chance - most of the people who came to the Floating Dream Palace to enjoy themselves were emperors with heads and faces, and there were even some big nobles.
The guards who reacted gathered around at a loss.
Master Ying has repeatedly emphasized the need to ensure the safety of the guests, but since they took up their posts, they have never seen anyone dare to make trouble here, and most of their daily work is to mediate some drunks who have drunk too much. Making trouble in the Floating Dream Palace is equivalent to offending most of the nobles in the imperial capital, and there is no need for them to do anything at all, these nobles who are eager to repay themselves will make the troublemakers unable to mix in the imperial capital!--But this time, those riotous knights are serious.
The sharp blade easily slipped through the fat arm of one of the nobles, and crimson blood flowed down the blade to the ground. Andrei grabbed the nobleman's hair, and the latter cried wolf in pain: "What are you still doing in a daze, come and save me!"
"If these nobles have three longs and two shorts, you can't explain them, right...... Convey it to your leaders, and exchange Serena for their lives!"
Andrei in front of the crowd shouted, the liquor emboldened him.
As for how to retreat after getting Serena, and even after retreating, how to face the never-ending pursuit of nobles and Albert's men?
These questions had all been forgotten from the moment they swung their swords, and the reason why he was standing here today was to give an explanation to himself and to Serena. Although he had never experienced the Hundred Years' War, he seemed to have experienced the tragic feeling of drinking a glass of spirits.
Every ordinary guard here has their irresistible strength, and once they lose these nobles, they will be surrounded and killed by the guards in an instant.
"Erin, go see what's going on outside. ”
Shadow held the dice Gu in his hand and commanded without looking back. The eyes of the listless, dressed girl of the Holy Mountain Academy at the door lit up, she opened the door, flicked the dagger stuck behind her waist, the buzzing dagger glowed with a silver light, and she walked out of the door briskly.
The young man sitting across from the shadow watched the girl named Erin leave, and it wasn't until the other party closed the door that his gaze returned to the dice Gu that had been smashed on the table.
"Big, or small?"
Shadow asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Great. ”
Shadow smiled slyly, not even bothering to uncover the dice Gu: "Unfortunately, I guessed wrong, it seems that you were distracted." ”
The young man didn't care about this, he picked up the wine glass and put one foot on the table: "I didn't come today to gamble with you. Shadow, every force has its own purpose of existence, and I don't want to be intertwined with the Holy Mountain Academy if I don't pay attention to it—then again, is your apprentice going to be bored at this time?"
Drinking the liquor as soon as he drank it, the young man's rather heroic movements splashed him with the wine: "There's no need to show that expression, I don't have much interest in your apprentice for the time being, after all, the business of the Floating Dream Palace still depends on you - but there will be another ......"
His words came to an abrupt end, leaving a meaningful smile.
A shadow descended on the room, and the shadow that occupied half of the room gradually coalesced into a person, and the man in the strange mask nodded to the shadow, and then opened a secret door with ease, and respectfully escorted the young man out.
It wasn't until the other party's back disappeared that the shadow lowered his head and stared at the dice Gu on the table in a daze. After a while, he slowly unveiled the dice Gu, 26 points, big. He couldn't help laughing to himself—Albert, he hadn't even guessed once.
"Hey, uncle, what's going on?"
Lin Qiu went downstairs and saw the people in a stalemate, so much so that he thought that Richard and his party had been discovered by the guards again. However, when he took a closer look, he found that the situation was not much better, and the person who hijacked a vote of aristocrats was the senior who had a two-sided relationship but did not know his name.
It's really a wave of unsettled, and a wave is coming again.
The guard looked dressed like him and explained, "These knights have just kidnapped the nobles, and it seems that the purpose is to find a girl named Serena. ”
"It's simple. ”
Lin Qiu patted his breastplate confidently, his eyes wandered in the panicked crowd for a while, and he pulled over a beautiful woman in disheveled clothes, and shouted to Andre at the same time: "Hey, I have already found the Serena you wanted, you can retreat!"
"But...... My name is Catherine!"
"Hmm...... It all sounds pretty much the same anyway, and that's what it means. Listen, I'll let Serena walk over now, and you let a nobleman come over slowly!"
Lin Qiu said as he desperately gestured to Andre with his eyes. However, Andre, who was not familiar with Lin Qiu, not only did not recognize him, but instead regarded Lin Qiu's expression as a provocation, he was furious, and with a stroke of the sword in his hand, there was an extra blood mark on the nobleman's fat arm: "Do you think I am Richard!?"
At this moment, the injured nobleman actually stood on the same line as Andre, and roared at Lin Qiu: "Bastard, stop it! Do you want to kill me!?"
fuck-a-dog! I see you're like Richard!
Lin Qiu almost didn't point at Andre's nose and scolded.
If he hadn't listened to Soph-Cana, he would have slipped away long ago - it was obvious that Nightshade had captured Serena in order to cause a dispute between the Windfurnace Academy and the Holy Mountain Academy, and if Serena had only been rescued and the students of the Windfurnace Academy had been confessed here, the dispute would have erupted as well.
"Oh, it turned out to be a hostage-taker, but...... Didn't you come because your student councillor was there?"
The moment Andre saw the school uniform of the Holy Mountain Academy, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously grabbed the nobleman's clothes, trying to block him in front of him. Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the comer, if it was this person, he should be able to release the water......
However, just as he was about to slip away, the figure of the comer ghostly escaped into the shadows, and before André could mention the nobles, two silver glints flashed on his right arm.
Having lost his support point, the nobleman slipped and fell to the ground. On Andrei's arm, two wounds deep enough to see the marrow appeared—one on his wrist, the other on his joint.
Everything happens in an instant.
Sticky blood splattered the nobleman's face, and the nobleman's eyes widened, and he didn't even have time to scream.
"Ready, the next wound will be on your neck. ”
The girl licked the blood from the dagger and seemed to enjoy the process.
- Is this still the weaker Soph-Kana who worries about the college dispute?
