Chapter 682: Exploring the Lord's Mansion at Night
Count Raymond was assassinated, and the son of Count Raymond was unknown on the day of the assassination, and it happened that the day of the assassination happened on the night when everyone was attacked by the cultists on the lakeside, and it was obvious that all this was plotted in advance, and the other party planned to get rid of Princess Haydai and the main people in her support camp in one fell swoop.
However, this plan seems to have a big loophole, first of all, Princess Haydai was accidentally saved by Purenlius, and Count Raymond was also in great trouble, and now his side still has a chance to fight back.
Night began to fall, Hai Dai finally couldn't help but ask Purenlius how to take his group into Lan Linghua's territory, although there are other places to enter outside the checkpoint, but even if you arrive in the territory to enter the main city, you need relevant documents, Lan Linghua's territory is now under martial law, the search must be very strict, if you don't show your royal insignia, then it is absolutely impossible for your party to get through the customs.
"Go to the vicinity of the main city first, and I'll take you in to meet the lord directly, and the others will wait outside first, as long as you see the lord and confirm your identity, let the others quietly enter the city." Purenlius said as he drove the carriage.
"Wait! we'll go with you. Elcid suddenly added.
"Whateverββ," said Painlius indifferently.
In the end, it was decided that the two Golden Saints and Perenlius would infiltrate the lord's mansion of the city to meet Count Raymond, while Gomera was unable to move due to her injuries and had to wait for news outside the city, while the three Silver Saints were responsible for protecting Gomera's safety.
After detouring from a hill into Lan Linghua's territory, Perenlius carefully avoided the patrolling guards, and the situation of the entire territory was indeed under a high state of martial law as the news brought by Perenlius, and it took at least twice as long as usual for the group to stop and go before they finally saw the outer wall of the main city of the territory and parked the carriage in a small forest. The group immediately went into action.
Because I don't know if there will be conflicts and accidents, the Saint Seiya all put on their own holy clothes, although it is not the first time to see the holy clothes, but Poenlius seems to be very interested in looking at Elcid, and the first time he saw the holy clothes, Hai Dai was very surprised by the armor that suddenly appeared on the Saint Seiya, although the gorgeous shape made Hai Dai always feel that wearing this kind of armor on the battlefield is purely to tell the enemy 'I am the protagonist, please gather fire'. But there seemed to be life in the armor, so that Haidai did not dare to breed a little mockery in her heart.
"It's really rare~ at least five pieces of epic equipment have appeared here!" Perenlius, who was still dressed in ordinary clothes, sighed in his tone.
Hai Dai was stunned for a moment, although she is not a blacksmith and a craftsman, but as a princess, Hai Dai, who has rich experience, also understands what the so-called epic level in the mouth of Purenlius means, the epic level is more above the legendary level of equipment, the so-called legendary equipment has a certain self-awareness or life, the weapon can repair itself, and the slight damage will grow with the owner's battle, and now there is only one legendary equipment in the entire Zegus Kingdom, which was created by a master crafter hundreds of years ago, and is now secretly stored in the royal family's treasury, which is almost the weight of the treasure of the townγ
And epic is on top of the legend. Just as it has been named 'epic', this equipment must have a glorious history, passed down from generation to generation through countless years and battles, and it can be said that these equipment is not only a weapon and armor made of metal, but also a life infused with faith and will, not only has extremely powerful power, but also has very high requirements for the user.
The only epic-level equipment recorded in many documents on the continent is the 'Yin Moon Pupil' lost in the Holy Capital, and now there is almost no epic-level equipment on the entire continent.
Hai Dai looked at the Saint Seiya in disbelief, and five pieces of epic equipment that originally didn't have a single piece suddenly appeared here.
It's not just Haydai who can't believe it. Even the mysterious Perenlius who was mysterious along the way was also very impressed, and Haidai, whose own strength was not very strong, could only feel the surface power of the holy clothes. Perenlius, on the other hand, was able to see a little deeper, though not completely.
Each of these armors resonates with the clothes as if they were living beings, and it can even be described that it is not that Elcid and they wear these armors, but that the armor chooses Elcid and others as the wearers, and Purrius can distinguish a very ancient aura from the armor. Elcid and the others were definitely not the first to wear this armor, there were many people who had worn the same armor, and their will and beliefs were completely integrated into the armor, passed down from generation to generation and presented to a new generation of holders.
It's a shocking inheritance that even makes Perenlius feel a sense of respect from the bottom of his heart.
Of the materials used, Perenlius saw only one thing. Orihakorn, known as the metal of the gods, and two other materials that he doesn't know about.
"There are only two forces that can come up with five pieces of epic equipment in my opinion, but none of you belong to any of them. β
"It seems to me that there is a mysterious guy in front of me who is not simple, but I don't care who he is!" Caludia sneered as she put on the helmet that looked like a scorpion's tail.
Purrius looked at Caludia calmly: "We have secrets to each other, so ββ"
"So it's better not to ask other people's secrets. β
"I agree. β
Soon the group moved quickly, and after avoiding the guards patrolling the city wall, Purnlius hugged Haidai and jumped up, instantly stepping onto the nearly two-story high city wall, Haidai, who was held in the arms of Purenlius, tightly covered her small mouth, and forced the exclamation back into her throat.
"This guy is really not mortal. β
After watching the other party's performance, Caludia seemed to be competing, and she jumped up and jumped up the city wall, with the physical strength and explosiveness of the Golden Saint Seiya, the two-story city wall is nothing, even if it is one floor higher, you can jump up, and then Elcid quickly jumped up, and the two ran towards the city after Purenlius.
The three of them streaked like shadows across the rooftops of one room after another in the night sky, and the speed of Perenlius was so fast that none of the patrolling guards noticed the dark shadow flashing overhead. In the strong wind, Haidai felt like she was in a dream. Whether it is Purenlius or the other two, they seem to regard the city wall as nothing, and now they are running in the city as fast as the wind, such strength has long surpassed Haidai's cognition of common sense, and even the cognition of the human race, there are many powerful people among the human race, but it is probably very rare to reach this level.
"There are two trigger-type detection circles at a distance of three meters to the right of the front. The searchable range is seven meters, follow me, don't go into the detection range. β
Not only did he show his superhuman strength, but here Perenlius instantly became a master of the magic array, and no trap could escape his eyes, which made Elcid and Caludea, who were following Perenlius, begin to wonder if there was anything in this world that Perenlius was not good at.
Along the way, they passed through the city without any danger or danger, and after arriving at the lord's mansion on the west side of the city, everyone stopped.
Haidai, who was put down to catch her breath, left, guiding everyone to enter and sneaking into the lord's mansion quietly. Because Count Raymond supports Princess Haidai in political positions, Haidai has also visited this powerful ally several times, so she naturally knows more about the Earl's lord's mansion, pointing to the top, Haidai can determine where to say the earl's bedroom, but now that the earl is injured, it is unknown whether Haidai will recuperate in the original bedroom.
Purrius didn't say a word, but jumped up like a phantom, and soon melted into the darkness like a shadow and leapt onto the rooftop, followed by the Saint Seiya. As if he didn't want to continue hiding, Perenlius threw a punch at the skylight full of detection circles. Then the entire lord's mansion quickly seemed to be stabbed in a hornet's nest, and the originally dark corridor was lit up in an instant, and dense footsteps were heard all around. Obviously, after the assassination, the lord's mansion was already heavily guarded, and the slightest disturbance would quickly activate all the garrison forces.
"Did you do it on purpose?" asked Caludia, who had just stepped into the room, with a helpless expression.
"There's no need to hide here now, let's go, we should go and meet the lord here. β
Placing Haydai on the ground, Perenlius pushed the door open without paying any attention. Dozens of heavily armed guards in the hallway were staring at the four of them. Among them, there was a middle-aged man with a grim expression, holding a two-handed heavy sword stuck in the ground, and the aura it exuded was much higher than that of the soldiers on the side.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess!?"
However, when he saw Hai Dai, the originally cold man couldn't suppress his surprised look, and originally thought that the previous assassin had returned with bad intentions. But in any case, I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness, the princess of the Zegus Kingdom, who is also the next heir to the throne, would actually appear here.
Seeing the man hiding behind Perenlius, Haidai also breathed a sigh of relief: "Knight Chief Belum, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, I have an urgent matter to meet Count Raymond now." β
"Please wait!"
Although it was Her Royal Highness the Princess in front of her, Belum still asked dutifully: "I'm sorry Your Royal Highness Princess, forgive your indiscretion, please show the royal insignia that can prove your identity." β
Haidai was not dissatisfied with this request, after all, Count Raymond had just been assassinated, and nine times out of ten, the assassin should have disguised himself as a member of the lord's mansion to approach the earl, and took out the insignia representing the royal family of Zegus, and Haidai also took out another piece of evidence, an ornament with the blessing of the god of fire given by the holy warrior Firin.
In front of the two evidences, the Grand Knight Captain Belum finally let down his guard, and the soldiers on the side also put their swords back into their sheaths and immediately saluted respectfully and made way for them.
"Your Highness ~ Who are they?"
"The warrior who saved my life on my way back to the kingdom of Zegus, Knight Captain of Belum, let me first meet with Count Raymond, I have a matter of urgency to discuss with the Count. β
Looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess, who looked anxious, had come here in the most unexpected way in the middle of the night, it was obvious that Her Royal Highness the Princess had an extremely urgent matter, but Belum, who was the Earl's chief of guard, was full of gloom, and finally the Grand Knight Chief buried his head and whispered a few words to Haidai. (To be continued.) )
PS: The last day is late because of the heavy workload, because tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve needs to go back to my hometown, so the update is suspended for one day, please forgive me.
