Chapter 51: The Relic of Atlantis
Adonis planned to escort Taver back to Petersenburg first.
Then wait for Nelson's call as you walk along the way.
It was not too late to explain the situation to Nelson by then.
In his opinion, instead of looking for the missing Carnacas, it is better to save the child who is by his side first.
And he knew very well that Karnacas was a man with a lot of ideas.
If he's going to do what he thinks is right, let him do it.
It wasn't too late for him to send Tarver back to Petersenburg and then to Canakas.
And one more important thing, he wants to hunt down the stealth assassin who escaped.
It's not hard to hunt him down. Since he did not make peace with his accomplices, he fled on foot.
Then if he wants to go back to the royal city to report the news, he must go back to Carson City to get a horse to ride.
It didn't seem difficult for them to get back to Carson City before that man.
On their way back to Carson City, he received a call from Nelson.
And Nelson's message was to ask them to go back.
The reason they were asked to go back was that Nelson had identified one of Baron's men.
Baron's men had been captured by Nelson and locked up in a secret cell.
What Nelson wanted Adonis to interrogate the man.
Nelson trusted Adonis very much. It could even be said that Adonis was his most trusted witcher.
That's why he initially put Adonis in charge of Jones' squad.
Now he has given Adonis another task that can only be done by the most reliable people.
He himself could not be involved in this matter, as he had already received the news that Baron was hiding in Helen Fall Mountain.
He couldn't pass up this chance to capture Baron.
And he knew exactly why Baron would go to Helen Fall. That's because of the legend of the Atlantean Golden Crown.
There would have been three relics in Atlantis. One of them, of course, was the Atlantean coat of arms that Baron already had.
However, there are two other Atlantean relics that have been lost long before Nelson became Petersenburg.
Because two of the three witchers who used to possess these three Atlantean relics have mysteriously disappeared. Some say they were captured by demons.
Others say that they are tired of the life of witchers and go into hiding.
But others say they died in the battle at Mount Helenfort.
Mount Helenfort is located at the southern tip of the British mainland. The mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and the vegetation is abundant.
Baron's previous attempts to search for it were to no avail.
His return was also expected by Nelson.
After all, they all knew that the three holy relics of Atlantis could only exert their greatest strength when they were in one place. It has the power to destroy the world.
Nelson wouldn't let Baron get his way. When he was younger, he had seen the three relics of Atlantis in one place.
At that time, the great witcher Alud even fought against Lucifer's first general, Asmantis, with the power of Atlantis.
But after that battle, Azurd was wounded. Plus he's too old to control the power of Atlantis anymore.
Since then, the three relics have been held by each of the three witchers.
Despite this, each witcher who possessed one of these relics was also given extremely great power.
Later, the witcher with the Atlantean insignia was killed in a battle.
But fortunately, the other witcher sword badges that accompanied him were brought back.
And Nelson's gift of the badge to Baron also saw that he had some potential.
Hopefully, he can go one step further and one day be able to harness the power of the merger of the three holy relics.
In this way, when the relics are recovered, there are also people who can take on the heavy responsibility.
Baron hadn't gotten this crazy back then. The biggest thing in his heart is just to kill the dragon and get revenge.
But now, of course, Nelson would no longer expect Baron to have three relics. He's going to kill him and get the badge back.
So before he went to track down Baron himself, he arranged for Adonis to be interrogated.
Hopefully, this will bring out more of Baron's men.
But it had to be done very secretly and not let anyone else know.
If Baron's men had received the news, they would have known that Nelson had already set out to "clean up" them.
Then they may not only escape. There may also be dogs jumping over walls and doing some sabotage.
While accepting the new assignment, Adonis of course also told Nelson about Taver.
Nelson's instructions on the matter were very simple and must be kept secret.
Because if the royal family learns that Taver is hiding in Petersenburg and comes to ask for someone. There's really no good reason not to hand it over.
This idea coincided with that of Adonis.
So Adonis' pursuit of the stealth assassin had to be successful. Otherwise, Tarver wouldn't be able to stay in Petersenburg.
He led the group to continue to rush all the way to Carson City.
But as soon as they reached the city, arrows rained down on the walls.
If it weren't for Adonis' talent for barriers, everyone would have been shot as hedgehogs.
But as soon as the round of bows and arrows was over, a large number of stones flew again.
All these are used by the defenders of the city when the enemy is attacking the city! How can they be so "warmly entertained"?
Although Adonis couldn't guess the specific reason, he knew that nine times out of ten it had something to do with the knight.
Everyone stepped back a little, and Adonis shouted to the wall, "I am Adonis the witcher of Petersenburg. Who ordered the arrows to be fired at us?"
The archers on the walls exchanged words but no one spoke.
As Adonis's mind moved, a white barrier appeared on the ground in front of him. Then he glanced at Wang Ningyuan and Lake.
The two of them understood and stood directly on the barrier.
Adonis then made a gentle lift with one hand.
Immediately following the barrier, he swished, and flew up the city wall with Wang Ningyuan and Lake.
In an instant, the city walls exploded. A group of guards, each armed with swords, surrounded Lake and Wang Ningyuan.
Lake had pierced the throat of a guard with a single sprint, and Wang Ningyuan had used a little divine power with the black knife in his hand, and the black knife had turned crimson.
He was about to stride forward and fight the guards. At this time, all the guards threw their weapons on the ground and surrendered!
The gates opened, and Adonis entered with his men.
Wang Ningyuan and Lake also pressed the captain of the guard and came to Adonis.
As soon as the captain of the guard saw Adonis, he said, "Carranton is a great man from above, and you are witchers. None of us can afford to offend. We can't help it......"
"Carandon, he's just been here?" asked Adonis.
The captain of the guard immediately replied, "Yes, he just rode over and told us to stop the people behind." Tell us not to ask anything, just shoot the arrows. And then he was gone. ”
"Let's go!" Adonis said and led the group out of Carson City.
Far away from Carson City, not worrying that outsiders would hear it, Adonis lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "It seems that things are in trouble. I was wrong in my judgment. If it's Carranton who escapes. Even if we catch up, it's hard to kill him. Looks like I'm going to have to arrange for Taver to go somewhere else safe. ”
"Where are you going?" asked Wang Ningyuan.
"Orsenhold Castle"
