After being ridiculed, Kenrad was in a state of confusion for a while, but he still tried his best to restrain himself from making reckless attempts, after all, he was not of the same level as Atros, and he might be killed in an instant if he made a rash move.

"You don't think you're in good faith in negotiating with me, I'm leaving, let Lancelot clean you up." ”

Atros put on a look of disdain and turned to leave, and at last the pent-up anger of Kenrad exploded, and he picked up the flail and chased after him, as if he had been pushed by something powerful.

At the moment when Kenrad cast a powerful attack, the wind galloping sword in the scabbard of Atros was also drawn, and the two sides staggered in an instant, Atros put away the sword in advance, and Kenrad dropped the weapon in his hand and bent down and crouched down.

"I don't know what you have to do with your destiny plan three years ago, but you have the same power as those Black Seal Knights, and we may be able to talk about it, but you have to be honest about who you are working for. ”

Apparently Atros had won the round, and a half-crouched Kenrad stood up, his breastplate and lined robe cut with a sword cut at the front and back, and what looked like a dark spell on his back.

"I didn't participate in Project Destiny, and you should be aware that there was one less person in the raiding team that day. That's right, I'm the successor to Knight One of the Black Seals, and I'm undoubtedly doing something for Delacro, and my contract with the Dark Order has been nullified since then. ”

After Kenrad revealed his identity, Atros was slightly surprised, he recalled the details of the raid in Destiny's plan three years ago, when there were a total of fourteen assassins present, and if Sieg's place was replaced by someone else, then it should be Kenrad who did not show up that night.

When Atros cleared his mind, Kenrad brought up his so-called deal again, asking Atros to drive the unrelated people away, and Atros did so, except for Lancelot, who was on guard against the enemy, Lemuel and Gorko left the room together as ordered, and also carried out the bodies of the slain rebels.

"Okay, you say, what are the conditions for joining hands to retreat from the enemy?"

"The trumpet of the sun preserved by Gronia. The Druas are here for it, and my lord's goal is the trumpet, so you can choose to give me the trumpet and join hands to retreat, or try to use the trumpet as a bargaining chip to exchange peace with the Druas, but I don't think Gronha will show weakness to the Druas. ”

Shocked to learn the true reason for the Druas attack on Gronya, Canrad offered a trumpet bargaining chip, which left him to decide that the final decision would be discussed by the Andorran king's council.

It's been a few hours since he met the rebel leader Kenrad last night, and Sieg, who was running around for the war, heard from Lemuel that Kenrad was a Knight of the Black Seal, but Lemuel didn't know the purpose of Kenrad's visit, but Sieg immediately asked where Kenrad was now, and even went to the Knights of Center Island to get rid of Kenrad at the center island at the expense of breaking through the guards.

On the way to Center Island by boat, Lemuel repeatedly asked Sieg about the Black Seal Knight, thinking that he was self-inflicted, but the brainless Sieg always thought that Kenrad's target was him, which made Lemuel, who did not know the truth, unable to tell him even the news of Chaey's disappearance.

Twenty minutes later, they rowed to the center island ferry, the friendly troops had free access to the center island, so they climbed the city wall accompanied by the knights of the night watch, and walked half a mile in a counterclockwise direction, below which was a pasture with thousands of good horses, and the base of the two knights of the center island was at the junction of the pasture and the forest, hidden in the tall trees.

The massive fortress wasn't very tall, at least only two stories tall on the ground, and with so much greenery inside the central island, it was no wonder they didn't notice it as they walked along the forest path leading to the palace. From the top of the castle walls, a cedar tree with gray skin and red leaves is planted in large numbers around the castle, and the road leading to the castle is full of barricades, but there seems to be no special patrol, and there are only a few sentinels at the various intersections, perhaps because this is the most heavily guarded area in Gronia.

Unlike Sieg, who had visited the place several times, Lemuel had come to the Knights' residence for the first time, and the strange castle had already stunned him, but Sieg told him that this was not the whole fortress, but strictly speaking, it was only the surface of it, because to house more than 1,800 people, it was necessary to have enough internal space, and this part was built on the ground floor, comparable to the super large space of the old Chanda underground town.

"I've heard that the idea of digging a hole is that Atros is carrying on the tradition of the Free Knights. Come with me, Brother Lemuel, it's important that we see Kenrad first. ”

The two of them walked down the nearest staircase down the wall, and Sig led the way from a distance, obtaining permission from the sentry to enter the interior, and only then entered the fortress with several servants, and walked down the aisle full of weapon racks to the end, where the door of the council chamber of Atros was open to them.

Sieg broke in without greeting the knights guarding the door, but the knights seemed to have already received orders from Atros, so they did not pursue them, and Lemuel quickly followed.

This spacious room was neatly decorated, with twelve seats at a long table, and in addition to some princely ministers, there were also several high-ranking knights in military uniform, one of whom was none other than Dejule Kenrad, the leader of the Hydred rebels who claimed to cooperate with Gronya.

Atros, who was holding the meeting, was walking back and forth around the long table at the moment, and when he noticed Sig and the others intruding, he immediately gestured for Sig to sit down in an empty seat, while Lemuel was left to hang in the auditorium against the wall.

"Atros, you can't trust this man, he's one of the Black Seal Knights, and Delacro's people will never cooperate with Gronia for a pure purpose. ”

Sieg's first words caused an uproar, and the knights of Atros, along with the ministers of the King of Andorra, began to discuss, and most of them believed that Sieg should be expelled from the council, since the members of the friendly nations were not eligible to participate in the national council.

At this time, Kenrad sat on the table with a smug face, and Sigg was about to draw his sword in anger, but Atros's guards quickly rushed forward to control him, but fortunately Atros did not do much to investigate, but only signaled to everyone that Sig and others were important allies and should enjoy the right to participate in the meeting.

Since meeting three years ago, Atros has investigated Sigg's identity and knows a little about the relationship between Sigg and the Black Seal Knight, and he does his best to explain to Sig that Kenrad's purpose is not himself, but to obtain the lost Hallows Sun Horn.

"Anyway, I don't trust him, if you want to make a deal with him, then go ahead, but if you are betrayed, don't say I didn't warn you!"

Sieg didn't know much about the Sun Horn, and the Holy Cult hadn't mentioned it since Trevor had entrusted it to the Gronians, so he didn't want to talk to everyone present, so he turned and left the council chamber.

Lemuel was still sitting in the audience, looking at the situation at the scene, the ministers all thought that the Druas should be given a trumpet to end the war with the least losses, and the knights thought that the Druas were not credible, and at least the trumpet and negotiate with the Druas was directly vetoed by the knights, and the current discussion is only whether the rebels are trustworthy and whether Kenrad will really fulfill the contract.

After some discussion, the princely ministers consciously left the council chamber, apparently the knights' idea was adopted, and the Gronians would cooperate with the rebels against the Druas, but the topic of the trumpet remained unresolved.

Some of the generals believed that the Horn was not worthy of Gronia's protection and should be handed over to the rebels in exchange for a chance to cooperate, while some knights disagreed with this idea, after all, Gronia and the Cult of Calradia were important allies, and they could not easily give away the items entrusted by the other party.

"Dejur, as Sieg said earlier, if we hand over the horn, will you really be able to fulfill your promise to join forces with us against the Druas?"

"I vouch with honor that as soon as you give up the trumpet, my men will immediately tear up the contract with the Druas and join forces to retreat from the enemy. ”

After Kenrad's reply, the meeting was almost over, but at this time there were still some knights who could not believe Kenrad, so the final decision was forced to postpone, as for Kenrad's personal problems, Atros thought that he should be given free rights before making a decision, but secretly arranged for a number of agents to monitor his movements at all times.

At this time, outside the council chamber......

"Thankfully, they haven't done anything stupid, and it looks like I need to do something. ”

Sieg didn't leave directly, but listened to the content of the meeting outside the door with the help of super hearing, which was a sigh of relief, and he thought that he should get the horn before Atros and the others made a decision, so as to stop Kenrad's plot without embarrassing the council.

"Steal the horn first, are you sure we should do it? ”

"Augst isn't here, and I don't plan to let Wings of Liberty interfere in this, so I'll have to rely on you to help me, and I won't blame you if I don't want to. ”

Lemuel was dragged under the city wall to discuss the plan, although he was not happy in every way, but in the face of Siger's insistence, Lemuel still agreed to act together, and was discussing with Sieg how to get the Sun Horn.

"According to the state of affairs in the council, it is not that Atros is unwilling to cooperate with Kenrad, but that there is no way to hand over the horn at that time. ”

"In that case, we don't know where the horn is, and if it were under the watchful eye of the King of Andorra, we wouldn't have gotten it. ”

"I remember that Trevor said that he entrusted the horn to Sofia three years ago, and Atros must have taken this into account so that he did not make a decision in the parliament, so we need to see Sofia as soon as possible. ”

After discussing the basic objectives, they began to inquire about Sophia's residence, from the guards on the central island to the night guards in the residential areas, and most of the answers were vague until dawn they only learned that Sophia had a property on the pedestrian street.

When they arrived at the pedestrian street, they found that due to the arrival of the war, there were almost no pedestrians on the street to ask for directions, but their luck was not too bad, and not long after they arrived at the pedestrian street, a woman dressed as a servant, found them, claiming to be Sophia's butler, and asked them to go to the top floor of the landmark building of the pedestrian street, the tower restaurant, to meet her.

Although I don't know why Sophia will shoot someone to bring the news first, but the current situation can only be invited, the two can see the upper part of the tower restaurant from a distance in the pedestrian street, but it is really very bumpy, Xige's road idiot attribute suddenly attacked, and lingered for a long time only one or two streets away from the destination, until the big bell on the tower struck ten times, and they followed the sound to reach the gate of the tower restaurant.

The twenty-five-story building was one of the symbolic attractions of Gronia, and it was the large clock on the twentieth floor that led the two to this place, Sieg had already been here once three years ago, and Lemuel was here for the first time, and the tower in front of him was constantly pounding his nerves, and he almost cried out in excitement.

Seig mercilessly dragged Lemuel out of his fantasies, and he didn't intend to take the stairs to the top floor, so he chose to go to the top of the tower through the elevator system, which was still experimenting.

The elevator was laid on the side of the building, Lemuel followed Sig into a nearby large cage that can accommodate more than a dozen people, the chain connected to the top floor began to pull upward, the entire cage slowly raised, because of the outside of the building, there are pulleys to maintain balance, the air cage overlooking most of Gronia has become a very ideal sightseeing facility, but Lemuel, who has a fear of heights, is not interested in enjoying this at all.

The chain at the top was gradually retracted to the extreme, and the cage carried the two people to the top of the tower, and when the cage stopped, they hurriedly pushed open the cage door and jumped onto the balcony, which was a little relieved, and the cage hanging on the side of the balcony also lowered again at a gentle speed.

The balcony they are on is not too big, only six sets of tables and chairs, the balcony armrests are full of various potted plants, the whole terrace is decorated remarkably, the only fly in the ointment is that due to the war, there are basically no guests willing to come to the top floor.

On the way up, Sieg was half frightened to death like Lemuel, and when they had adjusted their minds, they pushed open the patio door and entered the restaurant.

There were no waiters at the deserted bar, only a young woman in rich costume sat at a table by the window, identified by the scimitar hanging from her belt, and as the servant had said, Sophia was indeed waiting for the two of them at the Tower Restaurant.

"I heard that you are looking for me everywhere, so I asked you to come here, what is the important matter?"

"Yes, your father seems to want to give the horn of the sun to the rebels as a bargaining chip, but you must hold it. ”

Sophia was disapproving, and took out a horn from her bag inlaid with gold grains and a sun totem, probably made of ivory, and neither Sieg nor Lemuel understood what Sophia meant by this, so they asked about the horn.

"As you can see, this is the trumpet of the sun...... My father had already planned that the real horn would be kept in a secret location that only I knew, and that it would never fall into the wrong hands, so a replica was used as a bargaining chip for the rebel leader. ”

After learning that Atros did not intend to hand over the horn, Sieg was finally able to accept the negotiation, and Sophia felt that Kenrad was not an easy character to be fooled and began to ask Sieg for help.

"That's right, we can't just fool Kenrad with fakes, so we have to be as realistic as possible, for example, after we hand over the replica, you suddenly launch an attack to try to snatch the horn, after all, Sigg is a member of the Holy Religion, and it is your job to defend the horn. ”

"I see, when you're done, I'm going to storm Kenrad and take the horn, not really get it back, right?"

Sophia nodded, then suddenly crushed the horn in her hand, according to her, it was quite difficult to make the original quality of the imitation, the current batch of replicas were very fragile, so it would take more time to modify them, and then trade with Kenrad when the time was right.

Eventually, they agreed that as soon as the replica of the Horn was completed, they would put on a play in front of Kenrad and secure a strong army of allies to fight against the Drua invaders.
