060 Spirit of the Storm
Teleportation? Duke was not scared at first, but came up with the word. This is already within the scope of super-technology in earth technology, only quantum teleportation technology can achieve instantaneous transmission of quantum state information to different locations, and the others are still in the theoretical stage at most, and this world has actually seen the teleportation of living people!
"Let my sisters go, or I'll kill you!"
Rose said in a cold tone, then moved the dagger around Duke's neck a little closer.
Faced with this move, Cassel directly aimed his long sword at Rose and said, "Evil witch, if you don't let go of the lord, you will all go to the gallows!"
"Then you can give it a try!"
The strength on Rose's hand increased a little more, and even faint blood marks began to appear on Duke's neck. The pain caused Duke to react from his previous shock at teleportation, and his life was actually pinched in the hands of the little witch Rose, and if something really happened, he would have gotten away with it.
Just as Duke was about to shout to both sides to calm down, a crisp female voice came from inside the snow: "Sister Rose, let go of Lord Lord, he is a good person!"
Nicole doesn't know when she runs out of the hydro factory, and runs wildly in the direction of Duke on the snow, shouting loudly to stop Rose from hurting Duke.
Seeing Nicole running over, Rose was naturally full of surprise, as the first batch of witches sent by the Dark Witch Society, she thought that even the Great Witch of Hera had been deceived, Storm Castle was a trap, and Nicole must have been imprisoned by the lord.
But now Nicole suddenly comes running over and overturns the idea in her head, much to Rose's surprise.
"Sister Nicole, are you alright?" asked Rose in a daze.
"Of course I'm fine, the lord is not what you think, hurry up and let him go!"
Nicole replied anxiously, in her eyes, Duke may be the only stranger who has truly treated witches as equals in the past few years, and she naturally can't let Duke get hurt.
Rose still hasn't put down the dagger around Duke's neck, because the previous performance of these knights is obviously still a symbol of evil, why does Nicole say that Duke is a good person?
"But the lord's knight said he would imprison us and send us to the Holy See for trial, and I couldn't just let him go. ”
Hearing Rose say this, Nicole was obviously a little anxious, she ran directly to Duke's horse, looked at the two of them and said, "Sister Rose believe me, don't hurt the lord, he really didn't do anything to hurt us. ”
In the face of Nicole's repeated requests, Rose also began to be confused in her heart, what was going on with all this, why did the situation she saw completely different from what Nicole said, this group of knights was obviously going to arrest themselves and go to the Inquisition, and Duke, as their lord, would his position be completely different?
Feeling the force of the dagger on his neck lighten up, Duke was finally able to speak.
"Cassel, lead the knights to step back. ”
"Lord, it is our duty to protect you, and I can't leave. ”
Cassel's sword is still aimed at Rose, and as a valiant knight, he can't give in to the evil witch!
"Didn't you listen to my orders?"
Dukla lowered his face and said coldly, chivalry is good everywhere, but sometimes it is too stubborn to be too principled.
Faced with Duke's order, Cassel could only bow his head and reply, "Yes, Lord Lord, the Storm Knight retreats." ”
With Cassel's order, the storm knights, whose weapons were aimed at the group of little witches, began to drive their horses back slowly.
"Alright, now you can put down the dagger, right?"
"How do I know if you're going to go back on your word?"
Rose has been hunted down by the Holy See all these years, and after experiencing the betrayal of her relatives and friends, she is very vigilant, and she still can't believe Duke.
"If I had reversed, Nicole wouldn't have been here now, and if Stormcastle was a trap, do you think it would be such a humble encounter? Little girl, there are many ways to arrest you, so why risk your life by such the most stupid method?"
Duke's words can be regarded as the key point, it was indeed a sudden encounter just now, and the cavalry did not have any formations and traps. And Duke wants to capture the witch, as a lord, there is no need to take risks personally, everything in front of him is indeed not normal.
"What about your knights, they still see us as a symbol of evil. ”
"I myself don't have any prejudice or discrimination against you, but I can't get everyone to change this opinion in a short period of time, and the Holy See is still the most powerful force in the world, how do you think I can overturn the Holy See's statement?"
When Duke finished speaking, Rose was speechless, they all have a lot in common, that is, although they have magic, they have to avoid the pursuit of the Holy See at a young age, so they have very limited experience, which is completely different from a late-stage dark mage like Gandalf, so she can't talk about Duke at all.
"Yes, Sister Rose, the lord is right, let him go. ”
Nicole also quickly persuaded her, she was worried that Rose would hurt Duke, and she was afraid that Duke would hate witches because of it. Storm Castle was the most home-like place she had been hiding in the mountains and forests for a few years, and the Lord was the only nobleman she had ever seen who would smile and encourage her, and she didn't want to break it all.
In the face of Nicole and Duke's persuasion, Rose finally slowly put down the dagger in her hand, and then jumped off the horse and returned to the group of witches. The group of little witches were frightened and gathered together, looking at Duke with apprehensive eyes, for fear that he would make a severe punitive move.
Duke wiped the blood on his neck, which made him feel a little scared, this kind of teleportation is really unguardable, if he encounters an assassin, it is estimated that his life will be lost.
But looking at the pitiful appearance of this group of witches, and the fact that their hands were red from the cold in the snow, and the fear of the group of people shivering, Duke's anger could not be raised, they were just a group of little girls looking for self-preservation.
"Come back to Stormfort, where there's a warm fireplace and food, better than standing on the snow. ”
Rose looked at Duke with wide eyes, she was ready to bear the consequences alone, as long as she could spare her little sister. As a result, he didn't expect Duke to actually say anything about his assassination, but let them go back to Stormcastle together. Is this that Duke really let himself go, or is he going to enter the castle and settle the score?
"My lord, they are evil witches, and they will bring disaster to Stormcastle!"
Cassel stopped it, and the other Storm Knights were about the same idea, not punishing the witches was already the lord's generosity, and letting them enter the Storm Castle might bring a catastrophe, and the Storm Castle was facing too many threats to withstand any challenge.
Seeing the knights' thoughts, Duke sighed and prepared for a showdown: "Storm Knights, since you have all seen it today, then I'll just say it." In fact, Nicole is also a witch, and Gandalf, who saved Stormcastle on the city walls that day, is a dark mage. It can be said that we are standing here today and surviving because of the help of what you think is evil. ”
"And in the future, your protection against monsters, new plate armor and more powerful weapons in the future will also need to be forged by witch-controlled magic arrays. So the witches didn't bring disaster to Stormcastle, they came to save Stormcastle!"
When Duke said this, all the knights, including Cassel, were stunned, they had no idea that this would be the case. Before, they thought that all this was because Princess Jina brought the help of the court mage from the imperial capital, and they didn't think about the dark mage at all, because they didn't expect that the evil they thought would save Storm Castle.
Seeing the shock on the knights' faces, Duke knew that they couldn't accept this, but he had one more thing he had to say: "One more thing, my knights, as a brave and fearless soldier, should never blame innocent women for disasters! As for whether they are evil or not, it depends on what they have done, judged by the laws of Stormcastle, not by their identity!"
"The soldiers of Storm Fort are never cowards who make excuses for women in front of them!"
