Chapter 13: The Eagle's Lie

Before the cataclysm, there were five empires on this continent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The period when the five empires checked and balanced each other was the most stable and happiest era for the entire continent.

The one who controls the center of the continent is the Reims Empire.

At that time, the Reims royal family was also known as the Eagle royal family.

After the beginning of the catastrophe, the people of the entire continent were in dire straits, and the rule of the empire gradually came to an end.

The Reims family did not fall because of the loss of the throne.

Their family has produced many warriors who represent the will of the times.

Esther Lance formed the party and completed the first kill of the second phase.

He and his adventuring party amazed the era.

After the death of the leader of this era, his will was inherited by the descendants of the family.

One by one, great adventurers emerged from the history books.

The Estol Adventure Group has carved their name into the monuments of history.

More than 2,000 years after the catastrophe struck, the brave Lance warriors proved that they were worthy of the name of eagles.

It is also because of their active performance that they brought the Apocalypse Tablet to humans after clearing the fifth stage.

The proud royal will of the Reims family has not been annihilated by disaster and time.

There was even a moment when they seemed to see hope for a rebuilt empire.

Humanity will always follow the leader who gives them hope!

But the smile of the goddess of fate finally stopped.

After the first kill in the fifth stage, the leader gradually died, but a new leader was not born for a long time.

The Eagle Family can no longer lead humanity out of the trough of fate.

With the passage of time, the splendor of this family remained only those recorded in the history books and monuments.

Until now, the Reims family has not had a figure who can inherit the family's glorious history.

......

Cisna and Wood were directly stunned, and Catherine, who was not good at reading history books, had a question mark on her face.

A rookie adventurer who needs to be brought by others to enter the inaugural dungeon actually says that he is the patriarch of the Lance family.

Even if an eagle has no wings, it is stronger than a chicken!

The eerie silence continued, the two girls still holding each other's hands.

After a while, the silence was finally broken, and the monsters that heard the fighting began to surround the crowd.

Wood probed, and the number was about thirty.

After discovering the monster, the three immediately entered the battle mode.

Catherine first blessed Wood's dagger with the fire attribute, and gave Hisna the blessing of rage.

Wood rushed out first, trying to fight the monsters.

Although the three of them were able to leave relatively easily, the rookie sisters were not.

Since they were saved, they couldn't let the monsters kill them.

An increasingly powerful group of goblin mages shoots fire and ice at the surrounded.

The mage regiment has elite guards in front of them, as well as goblin knights riding various beasts.

The goblin archers have reached a high position.

The goblins and beasts of more than thirty layers began to work together as a team.

The Yveni sisters looked panicked.

In order to be quickly promoted and employed, they begged Fatel to take them into the inauguration dungeon.

They usually dare to pick up a lone goblin, and even then some of their companions have been killed.

When encountering a large number of them, they can only run.

Those who haven't run can only wait for death.

This is the dangerous cost of increased overstepping entry.

This kind of siege is something they have never experienced.

Hisna blocked the goblin's spell and had a headache when she saw the panicked elf sisters.

If the protected person is not calm, they will have a hard time.

"Calm down, we'll repel them. ”

Cessna's tone was firm and full of leadership.

Her charisma and paternal aura proved to be useful, and the elven sisters took out their weapons.

Goblins riding wild beasts began to pounce on the humans on the battlefield.

Cisna's greatsword flickered and swung at the oncoming Goblin Knight.

The flames make the atmosphere of the battlefield even hotter.

On the other side, Wood began to lock onto the remote output.

Four Goblin Archers and three Goblin Mages.

The mage is protected by warriors by his side.

Wood figured out the situation behind the battlefield, thought quickly, and decided to hunt the mage first.

He took the state potion out of his pocket and drank it, then licked his lips.

Ever since activating the Demon Bloodline, he has grown to enjoy the feeling of battle.

Especially when fighting for your life.

Completely silent, he walked around behind a goblin mage and stabbed it in the back of the head.

The goblins stopped chanting, and the increasingly clever guards spotted Wood.

Wood saw the guards approaching and didn't run away.

The Dagger Harvesting perk triggers when it harvests life, and Wood spends up in front of the other.

The fragile goblin had no way to dodge it, and was directly cut by the dagger in his throat.

After killing the second mage, the third mage is a bit far away and cannot be directly accelerated over.

Wood chose to retreat first.

The guards began to chase after him, knowing that the assassin must not be allowed to continue his assassination.

Compared to the goblins Wood had encountered before, these warriors with delicate swords and shields were much faster.

But for him, it was still easy to get rid of.

After shaking off, he hid in the shadows and did not go to assassinate the guards.

Wood quickly circled to the next mage, another clean slash.

For mages, this kind of assassin is a nightmare.

The rest was simpler, and Wood continued to kill all the archers.

He single-handedly cleaned up all of the other party's remote output.

The frontal battlefield is obviously much easier without the attack of spells and the harassment of bows and arrows.

Wood also returned to the front to help.

......

After a while, the three Woods took the elven sisters to the shore of the lake where they had just rested.

Wood is treating Catherine's wounds.

In the group battle just now, although Catherine had a magic shield, she still suffered some injuries.

In particular, on the arm, a knife cut wound looked very serious.

The temporary bandage was removed, and the wound that was still bleeding was seen.

"Does it hurt?"

Wood looked at the wound and asked distressedly.

Catherine saw her master's eyes so concerned that even the pain of the wound was left behind, and replied strongly.

"Catherine is fine!"

When Wood heard this, he felt more and more sorry for this strong girl.

He's made a manly pact with old Wright!

It is his duty to protect this girl!

He took out the potion from his pocket, then looked at Catherine and said, "Bear with it, it will hurt a little." ”

Catherine nodded: "As long as the master is by her side, Catherine is not afraid of anything." ”

Wood felt warm in his heart, took the white potion, and aimed it at the wound.

"Here we are. ”

With that, he poured the potion into the wound.

"Hmmm......"

Catherine felt a sharp pain coming from the wound, like a flame burning.

Even so, she still didn't shout, clenched her teeth.

It's not just the fear of attracting attackers.

She didn't want to be vulnerable in front of her master.

Wood understood that Catherine was holding on.

After pouring the potion, the wound was still smoking.

Wood got up and hugged Catherine, who was seated.

"It's okay, just shout if you want to, there will be no danger. I'll take you away at once, and with my speed, these little short legs will never be able to catch up. ”

Gently stroked her long silver hair.

"I'm so sorry to make you my servant, and you can't be healed by the priest's spells anymore. ”

The boy looked at the silver-haired girl in his arms.

Catherine, who was held in Wood's arms, her eyes, which did not shed a single tear when she were injured, were blurred by these words.

Leaning on the chest of the owner like a safe haven, the warmth of the heart covers the pain of the body.

......

Catherine was a little tired and gradually fell asleep.

Wood dropped the girl in his arms and walked over to Essna and the Elf Sisters.

Cisna spoke first: "Is Catherine alright?"

Eyes are concerned.

Wood nodded, "Fortunately, it's just a flesh wound." ”

When he thought of the wound, his mood fluctuated a little.

At this time, Evene made a noble salute to Wood, and said with thanks and apologies: "Thank you for your help, my name is Evene, and this is my sister Betty." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the elf girl who was still a little scared beside him.

The girl named Betty hesitated for a moment, bowed to Wood, and said with some fear, "Hello, my name is Betty Lance. ”

They both have pale blonde hair and green eyes, and they are very similar in shape.

The two girls really can't tell who is the sister and who is the sister from the outside, but they can still feel it from the aura.

My sister is clearly not ready to fight in the dungeon.

Wood looked at the two and introduced himself lightly.

"Wood. ”

Although Eveni didn't know Wood's exact age, she could tell that everyone on the team was not very old.

Especially the boy in front of him.

I wanted to ask, but I was afraid that I would be disgusted by the boy.

At this time, Cisna spoke to the elven sisters.

"Since Wood is also here, I'm going to ask straight to the point, what's going on with the Lance family now?"

Her words were straightforward, as she also had a hint of Lance blood.

Alex Lance.

This eldest lady is Cisna's grandmother, the mother of the legendary St. Lotus.

And it is the revival hope that the Reims family has finally appeared.

With a unique talent and tenacious will, he became an adventurer at a young age.

The second stage was passed even before the age of twenty.

There is no doubt that the Chosen Daughter was watched by the entire continent at that time.

More dazzling than the current Cessna.

If this trajectory continues, maybe there will be nothing to do with the son of St. Leeth.

During her dungeon adventures, Alex falls madly in love with a man who is Cisna's grandfather.

Jonah Nelito.

The two fell in love secretly and even secretly gave birth to a child.

This child is St. Lotus.

Yes, St. Lets was a bastard child with no name.

Suddenly, one day, Alex and Jonah both disappeared.

No one knows where they went, and there was no trace of them in this world.

The Reims family lost hope of revival, but the Nelito family gained a new leader.

As an illegitimate child, Saint Lets set one crazy record after another at a young age.

easily surpassed his parents, and finally suppressed doubts with his strength, becoming a symbol of the Nelito family.

At the same time, it is also a symbol of humanity.

As for the Lance family, in fact, the eldest lady was very disgusted with her own family.

I'm afraid that not many people know the specific reason now.

Even Cessna didn't understand.

Saint Lets has never given the people of the Lance family a good look.

Don't think that legends don't hold personal grudges.

But disgust is disgust, after all, he has Lance's blood in his body, and he can take care of it once in a while.

The bones are broken and the tendons are attached.

Even with this complicated relationship, Essna actually wouldn't directly ask about the Lance family's family affairs, but now that the Lance family has let an unemployed imp be the head of the house?

You must know that the current Essna is only the eldest lady, and the Nelito family is now temporarily led by Lily.

Until Cisna was able to take on the surname Nelito.

Evni understood Cisna's thoughts, and her face was a little haggard.

"My father, the previous head of the family, died. Killed by my "dear" sister!"

As she spoke, Evene's clenched fists looked very angry.

The younger sister next to her comforted her angry sister with her hand.

The body trembled a little because of the anger.

"This slut got a group of people out of nowhere and asked us to hand over the Apocalypse Tablet, but my father told them that the Tablet was long gone. ”

"This slut knows it! She knows that the stele is no longer in our hands!"

Evni's expression suddenly became calm, a little terrifyingly calm.

"I'm going to kill that woman someday, someday!"

The tone was cold.

Cisna frowned, she had basically not paid attention to the situation of the Lance family, and she didn't know if what Yvany said was true.

Wood, who was on the sidelines, felt that Evene was lying somewhere.

After thinking for a moment, Hisna continued, "And then you became the new head of the house, what about the woman, and why did you get here?"

There were so many questions in an instant, and Yvni was a little stunned, and after a while she replied, "That woman left after killing my father and many other people, and I don't know where she went. ”

There was a pause.

"Because my father's children are the only two of us. The others have been killed, so I have to take on the responsibility of the family. Betty and I chose to find someone to bring into the dungeon in order to improve our strength quickly, but we didn't expect to encounter that woman's men. ”

After listening to Evni's words, Cisna frowned, unable to tell what she was thinking.

At this time, Wood patted Hisna on the shoulder and motioned for a private exchange.

The two came to the other side.

"I feel there's something wrong with me, at least she's not telling the truth," Wood said. ”

This elf is not as simple as it seems.

Cisna nodded in agreement.

"What are you going to do?"

She was asking for Wood's opinion.

Wood thought about it, after all, it was only a suspicion now, and it would be better not to overturn the boat of friendship.

And they're a little related to Cisna.

"Improvise, it's best to get them out of the dungeon first. ”

That's the only way, you can't just leave them behind.

Cisna understood that Wood was concerned about her identity.

"Let's see what they're going to do next. ”

Both Cisna and Wood understood each other's thoughts.

There's definitely something wrong with this elf sister.

Returning to Evne, Cisna spoke first.

"We all understand the situation, and we can only express our condolences for these situations, sorry. ”

A slightly apologetic voice, revealing sincerity.

Evni, who was worried that something would happen just now, finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and a smile appeared on her anxious face.

"You've helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, we would have been held into slavery long ago. ”

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and bowed politely.

"Now we can only repay with words, thank you!"

The tone is sincere.

Hisna also performed a standard aristocratic salute.

"No, the Lance family and the Nelito family will always be friends. ”

Perfect kind words.

After finishing speaking, Hisna cut to the chase again, and asked with a worried expression, "What are you going to do next?"

Hearing this, Yvany hesitated a little, and only answered after a while.

"That's right, if you can, can you take us to get some more experience points?"

Wood and Cessna looked at each other when they heard this, and they both understood what each other meant.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to do it, because we're also preparing to return to Hasai Castle. ”

Wood looked at Evany with apologies on his face.

"It's too dangerous for the two of you to be alone in the dungeon, so let's send you back first, with a pointer?"

Wood's words directly locked all of Evne's choices, leaving only one option to go home.

Yvene smiled reluctantly, then said, "With it." ”
