Chapter 61: No More Naivety (2)
Half an hour earlier, Deadton had been strolling boredly through the corridors of the castle, the beautiful view of the sea outside the window that had caught the middle-aged former champion knight in a stop. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Outside the window, there are a large number of ships constantly swimming in it, because today is the first day of the city's lockdown, and a large number of stranded ships and ships hoping to enter the harbor to replenish are coming in and out.
Now this scene reminds Denton of the past scene, the capital Midour is actually a seaport city, but it is very large compared to Anjitan, both in terms of the size of the city and the population.
When Denton and Alicia were young, they often looked out at the sea in the distance from the palace, but the passage of time made them separate.
Armed on the run, Denton has been on the run, using his skills to join various organizations of adventurers, often haunting various ruins and mysterious unknown areas in order to gain wealth. In fact, with Denton's strength, he could have thrown himself into the hands of a lord, but he was afraid of being wanted by the Empire, and during this period, he also thought about crossing the Desert of Death and reaching the Red Desert region to completely escape from the Empire's sphere of influence, but this feasible idea was delayed due to various accidents.
Becoming an adventurer, Dalton sometimes worked as a killer thief, and it was during this exile that Denton met his first wife, and finally made a private agreement with her in Luou Town for life.
But the good times didn't last long, Denton's wife died in childbirth, and his only child fell off a cliff during a play out, and his bones were gone.
Disheartened, Denton spends his days wandering taverns and brothels, hoping to anesthetize himself in this way until Alicia arrives.
The meeting of the first love did not make the two ignite any sparks of love, because Alicia also brought a child, and at this time Alicia is no longer the ignorant little girl at the beginning, and now she has become a research mage specializing in alchemy, an experimental maniac, in her life except for her own magic experiments and her own children can no longer tolerate anything.
The vicissitudes of life are the best descriptions of the changes between the two, at that time, Denton was no longer the knight who had sworn to guard in front of Alicia, and during his fugitive career, the rules and regulations in the knighthood code had been shattered.
There is no love at all when the two meet, but the friendship is still there, and the setbacks in their marriage have become the best bridge for the two to communicate. And at this time, Denton began to enter the world of young Shilinya as an uncle next door.
The sound of the heel colliding with the ground echoed in the corridor, and this sudden noise pulled the middle-aged uncle back to reality from his nostalgia.
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, a relatively obese middle-aged woman came into view, and after coming to this castle for a few days, Denton also recognized who this middle-aged woman dressed as a servant was.
"Hello, Sir Dalton!" the servant took the initiative to greet Denton when he passed by Dalton's side, because of his excellent performance on the battlefield, Denton had been canonized as a knight by Alain, the same title as many years ago, except that the person who was canonized and the person who guarded it were different.
"Hello!" Denton nodded in response to the greeting, this servant Denton was not particularly strange, this was one of Miss Kayla's guardians, and was usually in charge of the illegitimate lady's life.
Since the guardian of the other party appears here, the little master of his service may appear near here.
Sure enough, Denton turned his head slightly to see Kayla hiding behind the servant. This young lady is very afraid of life, although it does not reach the extreme level when we first met, but it can also be seen that she is very resistant to talking to strangers.
"Hello, Miss Kayla. Dalton greeted the young lady politely, but the other man just hid behind his servant and peeked at the knight in armor with a timid look.
Kayla, a little girl, had already entered Raffedyne's temple and performed two purification rituals, the first time I didn't know if it was successful, so there was a second ritual. However, after the second ritual was completed, the other party became much more normal, at least there would be no cries that would cause various extreme reactions from plants and small animals.
But when he thought about it, Denton became angry, not against Kayla, but against the despicable actions of some shameless unknown thieves.
"Sir Dalton, Miss and I have something to do, so let's go first. Seeing that the knight in front of him became angry for some reason, the servant, who knew what the situation was, immediately prepared to leave here with his young lady.
The servant's reminder calmed Denton's sudden irritability, lest the anger in his mind rob him of his sanity.
"Walk slowly and be careful. After Denton calmed down, he politely replied to the two in front of him.
"And Miss Kayla have some fun. Without asking, Denton knew where the two were going, what they were doing. Because this is already a relatively high floor of the castle, you will reach the roof of the castle when you go up, and it should be the purpose of this little lady to play on the roof.
Watching the young child slowly disappear at the end of the hallway, Denton felt that he was not happy, because this child was the illegitimate daughter that Alain brought back when Alicia ran away, and Alain and Alicia were still married, and Alain's behavior could be seen as unfaithful to his wife. Although such behavior is not something to be fussed about in the circle of the aristocracy, and there is also a responsibility for Alicia.
Alain has not given up the surname "Ilian" to Kayla's illegitimate daughter so far, and it can also be seen from the side that Alan has not given up hope for Alicia and Shilinya, but it can also be imagined that Alan is stocking up on the duke's future heir, once Alan gives up the hope of looking for himself, then this girl will be given the surname "Ilian", and the legitimized illegitimate daughter can inherit Alain's dukedom.
But now the girl who was put in reserve was no longer eligible to inherit, because a more pure heir from the bloodline had returned. Although this little girl will be given the surname "Alian" in the future, it is also powerless, unless the first heir, Shilinya, has some accidents, but Denton will never allow this kind of thing to happen.
Shaking his head to push these indifferent thoughts out of his mind, Denton continued to enjoy the ocean in front of him, looking at the busy harbor in the middle of the sea. I continue to reminisce about the unforgettable scenes in my mind.
Minutes and seconds passed, and more than ten minutes later, Denton was still looking at the seascapes, indulging in his own memories.
However, in the black shadows, an unknown creature churning with black smoke was slowly approaching Dalton, the unknown creature was very slow, as if it was afraid of alarming the knight who was watching the seascape.
The unknown creature kept getting closer to each other, and when there was only one meter left, the shadow-like thing suddenly burst out, and the shadow of a scythe's shadow quickly struck the unsuspecting Danton.
Smack!
Sharp objects smashed into solid walls, and the pull of the weapon caused bursts of sparks to spread through the hallway with the sound of the two objects grinding against each other.
Anderton, who had quickly rolled into the distance, immediately stood up, drew the sword and dagger at his waist, and watched warily as he saw what was attacking him.
The body more than two meters tall was shrouded in a wide black robe, but the part of the body that emerged from it was a miserable white hand bone the size of a disc, and what made Denton feel very dangerous was that the other party was holding a huge, exaggerated scythe equal to his height, and in addition to this, the other party's head hidden in the black hood also emitted two blood-red lights.
Compared with the opponent's intimidating shape, Denton is more concerned about the opponent floating in the air, which makes a melee ground unit like Denton feel very tricky.
"Necromancy?" Dancen's years of adventures made it easy to determine what this thing in front of him was, and he had encountered such a thing in Denton's adventurer's life, which was a big killer!
This is a high-level undead creature, able to flash, able to fly, and the most headache is the opponent's large scythe, as long as the opponent touches it slightly, then the injured person is very likely to be killed on the spot, even if you are lucky that nothing happens, you will be taken some life by the other party - this will seriously affect your next bodily functions, and this will reduce your lifespan!
I don't know why such a high-level undead is here, but the current situation no longer allows Denton to think about the reason, because the other party's attack has come.
The sharp sound of breaking the air attacked Denton with a powerful air current, and it was not convenient for the huge scythe to be cast in the corridor, but the narrowness of the corridor made Denton not have much room to dodge.
The second attack was fruitless, and Denton, who had experience in dealing with it, immediately dodged the opponent's attack backwards, but Denton did not intend to solve the opponent here.
Now, Denton hopes that he can find Kayla and protect her immediately, who knows if there will be any other undead creatures?
