Chapter 6: Conspiracy!

Lin Yuqing only felt a rush surge, and without waiting for the person on the bed to speak, he immediately exerted force under his feet, and hit the black shadow on the bed - the person was hit by him in the nose, and immediately screamed in pain, and couldn't help but let go of his hand, and shouted and scolded: "There are thieves!"

There was still a sense of awakening in his voice, and it was Darker.

"You go and block the door!" Lin Yuqing quickly turned his head and yelled at Ada, then pounced on Darkra, raised his knife and stabbed it - he originally just wanted to threaten him with the knife and prevent him from screaming anymore, but don't look at Dark's fat, his hands and feet were unexpectedly flexible, and he rolled on the bed, just avoiding the tip of Lin Yuqing's knife.

Ida hurried to the door, slammed it with a "when", bolted the door, and pulled a table desperately towards the door. Dakra heard the voice in the dark, and seemed to be flustered, and fell out of bed with a grunt, and hurriedly shouted, "Someone-"

This time, before he could finish his words, Lin Yuqing had already lifted the quilt on the bed, and threw it on Daklam's body with his head covered and his face;

However, this fight still alarmed the guards outside, and with the sound of footsteps at the door, one of the guards asked at the door, "Lord Dakra?"

As he spoke, he pushed the door a few times. Fortunately, Ida was moving quickly just now, and the door was blocked at this time, and the man couldn't even push open a crack in the door.

Lin Yuqing's face turned white, and when he saw that Dakra was about to get out from under the quilt, he simply turned over and jumped up, smashing his hair in the quilt with a muffled cry of pain.

As soon as the boy held him down, he reached out to help him pull the quilt off his head. Darka stretched out his head suddenly, and before he could open his mouth to scream again, his throat tightened, and then he felt a thin piece of metallic coolness against his neck.

"Send people away," Lin Yuqing gasped and said in his ear, one arm wrapped around his fat neck, and even his muscles were jumping and jumping due to excessive force: "If you say one more word, I will kill you immediately!"

Dakra's throat was pressed against his arm, sliding up and down through his skin, and finally he shouted at the people outside the door, "No, it's okay, you go!"

The guard outside the door seemed to be suspicious, and shouted again, "What's going on?" and instead of leaving, he pushed the door again.

Lin Yuqing's heart jumped, and the blade immediately involuntarily slid into the skin a little.

"I'm having a nightmare!" Darka shouted violently, "Hurry up, don't make me sleep!"

As soon as his voice fell, there was suddenly only the heavy breathing of a few people in the room, all hoping that the guards at the door would leave quickly. Fortunately, after waiting for a while, the man finally answered yes outside the door, and the footsteps were far away.

Lin Yuqing's heart was relieved, and he almost slipped to the ground—but he immediately tensed his nerves again, and still pressed the knife firmly, for fear that Dakla would take advantage of the opportunity to resist.

Ida covered her face with her cloak and hurried over, looking at the two of them for a moment but not knowing how to help. Lin Yuqing knew that they didn't have much time, so she hurriedly motioned for her to hold down one of Dakra's feet, and then deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "Are you the Overseer?"

He asked knowingly, just to make Darka think that the two of them had just come out of the manor.

"Yes, who are you?" replied Dakra hesitantly, lingering in his voice.

"Okay, it's not in vain that I tried to sneak in," Lin Yuqing snorted, "I ask you, where are the people from that village in Ellington in the east?"

Dakra gasped suddenly, his breathing unsteady: "Original, original...... I, I don't know where they went. ”

"You guys have been searching for the people of that village all these days, do you think I don't know?" Lin Yuqing couldn't help but be anxious, and tightened his arm hard, and suddenly the smell of incense and sweat on the fat man's body became stronger, and he snorted. "Tell me, what are you asking about?"

"Okay, okay, calm down, I'll tell you," Dakra said with a sigh of strangulation in his throat, with some difficulty, "I, I did send someone to look for them, but they didn't find them anywhere - really, really not." ”

Lin Yuqing was stunned, but he didn't expect that even so many people in the Holy See didn't find any news - it was like someone poured a basin of cold water on his head, he only knew that he was holding a knife, and he didn't know what to ask next.

Unexpectedly, Dakra saw that he didn't speak, but was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "But, but, there is such a thing......"

"What?" Lin Yuqing was excited.

"In addition to us, there is another group of people who are also secretly arresting people who have just obtained the fallen spirits," Dakra was crushed to the ground by the two children, only tilting his head and saying in a disordered breath, "I don't know where they came from, and I haven't dealt with them head-on...... I've only heard that after they find someone with a fallen spirit, they will use a secret method to seal the fallen spirit, so that the person has no power to resist, and their methods are cruel, and they will catch one by one. The people of that village may have been captured by this force......"

Lin Yuqing only felt that his heart was falling straight down, as if there was no end, but he forced a smile: "Do you want to divert my attention to a bullshit force that doesn't exist at all?"

"This is indeed true!" the Fat Overseer said anxiously, "You don't know about one of your children—why didn't the knights of the Inquisition send any of them this time?" His Majesty the Pope only summoned the knight lords with fallen spirits, just because he was afraid of this secret force!"

"Jealous?"

"Those people, like us, are looking for the newly fallen spirits. If there is a conflict with them and the knight chief is lost, won't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Lin Yuqing thought about it, and really couldn't find a loophole in this sentence for a while, then he felt Ida behind him move uneasily, and then asked, "Then why did you call so many knight lords over?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Dakra was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to ask about this at all, and didn't answer for a while—Lin Yuqing urged again.

When Darka spoke again, something in his tone had quietly changed, as if there was a faint suspicion.

He said slowly, "Not much. ”

"Six or seven, it's not much!" Lin Yuqing immediately grabbed a sentence, and then suddenly paused, and his heart chuckled, knowing that he had been fooled.

In the darkness, Dakra cleared his throat as if coughing and laughing, and whispered, "How did you know that seven people were coming?"

Lin Yu young man Ji Xiao is inexperienced, and when he heard this, he didn't know what to say to answer him for a while-how could a person who sneaked into the manor tonight know that among the knights who had arrived one after another in the past few days, there were a total of seven noble lords?

Ida could hear clearly behind her, anxious, but she didn't dare to speak, and as soon as she raised her head, she saw Lin Yuqing's back suddenly darken, like a cloud covering the moon.

She was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood. Turning her head sharply, she met the eyes of a man who had just climbed up outside the window—the black shadow reflected in the silvery moonlight outside the window, and the pupils were filled with cold light, which was the same guard that Dakra had brought with him at the dinner.

"Be careful!" she couldn't hold back any longer, and blurted out with a scream.

Before she could finish speaking, the guard had already rolled over and rushed into the room, rushed towards Lin Yuqing in a few steps, and kicked the caught boy off the ground with one kick.

The boy was struck and rolled to the ground, his knife leaping across the floor and sliding to the other end of the room. Ida was startled, and immediately let go, turned and ran, hurrying to pick up the knife.

The guard didn't say a word, ignored her, and threw himself at the boy on the floor again. Although Lin Yuqing is agile, he is not an opponent of a strong adult man-

When Ida clenched the knife, Lin Yuqing had already been held and couldn't play with both hands.

Dakra coughed as he clumsily scrambled to his feet. He lit the oil lamp in the room with a fire, and held it in his hand, and the light trembled along with his fat short fingers—and Darka stood still, turned his head and smiled at her, "Hello, Miss Ida Mesoko!"

Although Ada's face was still covered in the shadow of the cloak, it was to no avail.

On Dakra's round and fat face, the stars were full of sweat, and a pair of eyes seemed to flash with some impatient pride, but when you look closely, it is only the reflection of two beams of fire jumping.

"You're teaming up with this thief to stop the Holy See's actions," Dakra glanced at Lin Yuqing, the last bit of fear on his face had not completely subsided, and he had already changed to a slow smile. "Broke into my bedroom and tried to assassinate the Overseers of the Inquisition. On top of that, you, as a member of the Mesoko family, harbored fugitives, disrespected the Pope, and according to the law of the Shariah, you should confiscate the territory and revoke the title, and you have really hurt your father—no, sister. ”

Ada's face was pale, her lips quivering, her cloak slowly slipping from her hair—she finally understood what Romandan was warning about, but unspoken.

"You—you've had this plan for a long time......" Her voice was low, her eyes already glistening with water, and her fists clenched as if blood could drip from her joints.

Dakra suddenly suppressed his smile: "Your father, as a Fallen Spirit Envoy, must send troops from the Holy See to quell the turmoil in the territory, and he has already violated the sixth of the Seven Commandments of the Fallen Spirit. If you can't maintain the stability of the territory, what do you want the Mesoko family to do here?"

Ada seemed speechless. Her thin figure stood in the corner, looking like a dead branch left in the cold winter.

After saying this, Dakra held the oil lamp, walked up to Lin Yuqing, and looked at the young man: "You must be one of those chaotic people." You didn't fall on—"

Before he could say the word "spirit", he saw Lin Yuqing slam forward, and overturned the lamp in his hand.

The bronze cup hit the ground, the fire flashed a few times, and the room went dark in an instant—Lin Yuqing took advantage of the distraction of the guard behind him and shouted "Ada!" and then felt the guard's weight, and suddenly pulled his hands back.

Instead of struggling, the boy threw his head back, and the back of his head slammed into the guard's nose—his hand loosened a little at the sound of gasps.

Dakra was burned by the fire, hugged his hands and scolded Lin Yuqing, and then raised his voice, and was about to call someone: "Come-"

"Ada!" Lin Yuqing exclaimed.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a muffled sound in the darkness, and the second half of Dakra's words suddenly fell silent, and the boy was struggling with the guard, and for a moment he was so confused that he didn't know what was happening, until Dakra's black shadow fell to the ground, revealing behind him a figure like a thin branch holding the lampstand—Ida was frightened, threw the lampstand, and rushed to the window.

But Dakra didn't pass out.

Although Ida had already died this time, he was only dizzy for a while, feeling a hand of blood from the back of his head, and struggling to get up from the ground; Lin Yuqing only felt that the guard behind him let go, and hurried to Dakla's side to support him in a few steps, and shouted loudly: "Someone! Someone! Lord Dakra has been attacked!"

"Run!" Lin Yuqing ran to Ada's side and pushed her out of the window, while the guard had already rushed up again—"I'll stop them, you go find a way to find a way!"

Ida had a white face, and before she had time to say a word, she hurriedly climbed onto the windowsill, and when the guards had just pounced, she quickly got out.

The windowsill hangs from a three-story stone wall, and only a narrow, protruding stone ornament barely climbs to descend to the second floor. As soon as Ada stepped on the ornament, she looked down and saw that her feet were empty, and the earth seemed so far away

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

- Her fingers squeezed into the cracks of the bricks, and cold sweat broke out in her palms, and she didn't dare to move for a while.

Just as she hesitated, an arm jerked out from the windowsill above her head and grabbed straight at her—when Ada screamed and nearly overturned, the arm was pulled back again. Lin Yuqing's roar then sounded from the window: "You go quickly! I can't support it!"

Ida gritted her teeth, not daring to stay where she was, clinging to the wall and moving along the stone decoration to the other side. The side buildings lit up with firelight and human voices, and I don't know who was shouting, "Lord Dakra is injured!" and "It's the rebellion of the Mesoko family!" - when she heard someone shouting, "Caught a boy!"

Fortunately, she was small and thin, and this narrow stone decoration could barely maintain balance for her. In addition, Ida was wearing a black robe, as if she had melted into the night, and she was not noticed all the way.

Climbing down from the second-floor windowsill to a lower place, Ida gritted her teeth and fell into the courtyard, where had she ever suffered such pain in her life, but she still bit her lip and stumbled out of the courtyard—all eyes were on the third floor, and she ran back to the main fort of Heavy Mori.

The night breeze made her cheeks cold, numb and even itchy. The thought of not knowing what would happen next left Ida with nothing but a blank blank in her heart.

The only way she could think of at this moment was to tell Romandan the news before Dakra, and let him handle it, and maybe there was a chance to turn around......

She didn't dare to delay for a second, but she didn't expect to hit a void: it turned out that the old earl's condition suddenly recurred in the middle of the night, and Romandan had just rushed over to take care of it, and Ida happened to miss it.

Ada stomped her foot in a hurry, shook off the maid beside her who asked questions, and turned around and rushed to the backyard where her father was. This time she had finally caught up—and in the distance, she saw two familiar figures standing at the gate of the courtyard, none other than Romandan's attendants.

As soon as she showed her head, she didn't have time to catch her breath or say a word, when the two attendants took a step at the same time, and stopped in the night ahead and asked, "Who is it?"

"Yes, it's me!" she cried out breathlessly, "where's Romandan?"

"Miss Ada," the attendant was stunned for a moment, not retreating. "Lord Count is unwell, you-"

"I'm in a hurry to find Romandan!" Ada's face turned bloody, grabbed the attendant's arm, and pushed it to the side, but did not push: "You get out of the way, it's too late!"

The two attendants glanced at each other, and when they were hesitating, they heard the sound of footsteps at the door behind them. Ida raised her eyes to see Romandan waving at the two guards, motioning for them to get out of the way. The orange-red fire and the smell of herbs poured out from behind his tall, straight figure, vaguely becoming the only faint warmth in the night.

"Ada, are you here to visit your father?" Roman Dan frowned slightly, and turned sideways to make way out: "Lord Earl just slept-"

"Romandan!" Ida rushed forward in a few steps, involuntarily grabbing the corner of his clothes, and his throat was already choked: "Out, something's wrong!"

Romandan's face was frozen, but he did not appear flustered - no matter when, no matter what happened, he was always as calm and reliable as a rock in the rapids.

"You wait," he whispered, turning back to close the door. The tips of his fingers were dyed green by some blade of grass, probably because he had just pounded the herb - Ida realized that he could not alarm his father, lest his condition worsen, and hurriedly followed Romandan to the side, and quickly told him everything about tonight.

Coming to Romandan was probably the most correct thing she did tonight.

As soon as Ada's voice fell, he had already summoned two attendants, and after a short silence, Romandan commanded one of them in a deep and quick tone: "You, immediately take the guards in the fort, and now go and seal off the side courtyard, and you must not let Dakra's people come." Once he woke up the Fallen Spirits, we were really gone. ”

Yes, yes - those knight lords all live in the main castle, and they have all drunk and slept at this time, and they don't know it...... Ida tilted her head and looked closely at Romandan's stiff side face in the night.

"But now that we're one step late, it's likely that the people of Dakra are already on their way. You immediately go and guard the building where the lords live, don't alarm the lords, and if you find his people approaching, take it immediately. ”

Ida couldn't help but feel goosebumps on her arm. The two attendants knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately withdrew after receiving the order, and when she saw that Romandan was about to leave, she hurriedly stopped him with a little panic: "Then, what about the Dakra?"

Romandan stood still in the half-light and half-darkness of the night, turning sideways, looking more and more like a statue.

"I'm going to ask Lord Earl's fallen spirit to enter the artifact, and then I'll take it with me to meet Dakra in person. ”

From the time Ida explained what had happened, Romandan didn't even say a word of reproach, but just arranged the response one after another, which made her feel that the next words were even more difficult to say - but time was pressing, she hesitated for a few seconds, and still said softly: "My friend named Lin Yuqing, who went with me, may have been caught by that fat man." You...... When you go to see Dakra, can you get him out too?"

In the moonlight and the faint light of the room, the silhouette of Romandan was silent, silent for a moment.

Ida panicked, walked a few steps, and said eagerly: "I know I'm asking too much, but he—he's going to save him!" When I went to pray for blessings the other day, I met an assassin from nowhere, and thanks to him, he saved my life. I haven't told anyone about this, I don't even know about Shi Lao, but I was really saved by him once-"

"Really?" said Romandan softly. The shadow casts on his face, so that it is impossible to see his expression.
