The vast majority of the nobles present were not true knights, but used the resources accumulated by the family in the past to make enough contributions at the beginning of the establishment of Doom City to maintain their status as nobles.

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of these people, a look of disdain flashed in Crodiel's eyes.

He held a banquet purely to find some fun in the boring life, and it doesn't mean that he really looks up to these people.

"Everyone, stay calm, this is just another useless attempt by the Dark Legion, and the Light is with us."

Crodiel's calm look and calm voice instantly calmed the anxious and panicked emotions of the nobles.

Perhaps to echo Claudir or to comfort themselves, they shouted in unison, "The light is with us." ”

At this moment, Claudir's expression was imperceptibly gloomy - he sensed an unusual change in the Dawning Realm.

He greeted the crowd with a smile and left the banquet hall without haste under their wandering gazes.

As soon as he left the hall, Crodier's pace couldn't help but speed up a little.

When he took the Xuandong elevator to the eighth floor, he heard hurried footsteps coming from upstairs.

"Lord Duke, it's not good!"

As soon as Claudir reached the top of the staircase, he saw the Templar he had sent to the Temple rushing down in a hurry.

His brow sank suddenly: "What happened?" ”

The Templar hurriedly said, "The fragment of the sword has been ...... Someone stole it! ”

"What?!"

Crodil's face changed greatly, and he said coldly: "Then why are you still here?" What about Pasil? ”

"The man stole the shards of the sword and disappeared, and Pasil is leading a search for his whereabouts."

The Templar quickly explained the situation briefly, and Crodil could no longer maintain his composure, and the powerful aura belonging to the Eighth Order Radiant Knight suddenly leaked, and he rushed to the ninth layer like lightning.

Pasil happened to be running over with the knights who were in charge of guarding the ninth and tenth floors tonight.

"Lord Duke, we have sent people to surround the Claudir Palace at the first time, but we have not found any trace of that person."

Without saying a word, Crodil rushed up to the tenth floor with a calm face and entered the temple.

The altar that originally stored the fragments of the Holy Sword had been broken in half, and there were still traces of flames burning on it.

He asked in a deep voice, "Pasil, what's going on?" ”

Even though he had tried his best to suppress it, the knights could still hear an uncontrollable anger in his voice.

"Your Excellency, that's right."

Pasil recounted the situation.

After the man snatched the fragment of the Holy Sword, the Holy Platform had already been damaged, and the original defensive Xuan Array had been destroyed, so he couldn't resist the area damage caused by his flame attack.

After listening to his description, Crodil asked in a deep voice, "Have you seen the man's face?" ”

"The man is wearing a suit of armor...... "Pasil hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Duke, we have just checked your room and found that the armor you put in the living room is missing. ”

"That guy knows I have armor in my room? Is it someone I know? ”

Crodier's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with anxiety, and it was difficult to maintain his usual calm state.

But at this time, he didn't have much time to adjust, and he couldn't let his subordinates see his panic.

Pasil said: "Lord Duke, although that man's methods are strange, that kind of ability should not be used continuously, and this ability must be very expensive, otherwise he doesn't need to hide it, I suspect he should still be in the palace." ”

"Also, that person's strength is not strong, and he can't even catch my blow, I guess he shouldn't have reached the dazzling level yet, and his chest has my flame heart flow, although it is through the armor, but the high temperature can penetrate the armor, so his chest will leave more or less scorched marks."

Crodil nodded slightly, had an idea in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Luska, pass my order to adjust the defensive level to the highest level." ”

"If someone asks why, you can say that it is my order, and the loss of the Holy Sword fragment is not to be exposed."

"Yes!"

Luska, the Templar from earlier, turned and quickly left.

"Pasr, activate the emergency support device."

The reason why the Dawn Realm can have the effect of increasing the combat power of knights and weakening the strength of dark creatures is essentially due to the influence of the breath of light.

When designing the opening and sustaining mechanism in the Dawning Realm, they had considered the loss of the Holy Sword Fragment or the failure of the Holy Table.

The so-called emergency maintenance device is to concentrate the light aura that has been emitted throughout the Dawn City in a few specific areas when the above two emergencies occur, so as to maintain the effect of the Dawn Realm.

Of course, the duration of maintenance is limited, and once the aura of light escapes or is exhausted, the Dawn Realm will naturally disappear automatically.

This method can only be used as a temporary emergency and cannot last for two days, so the top priority is to recover the stolen fragments of the Holy Sword.

Crodil casually pointed to a tenth-order sky knight who was originally guarding the gate of the temple: "You, go and mobilize the guards in the palace for me, search the entire Crodil Palace, and can't let go of any corner." ”

"Also, go to the banquet hall and check who has left the hall in that time."

"If you find the whereabouts of that armor, or if you find a suspicious person, report it to me immediately."

"Yes!"

After giving a series of orders, the figures of the two Dongxuan people suddenly flashed in Crodiel's mind.

They had just arrived at the Palace of Crodil today, and not long after they had stayed in the room on the eighth floor, the fragments of the Holy Sword had been stolen.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

A glint flashed in Crodiel's eyes.

……

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door of a suite on the eighth floor.

"Who? It's so late and you don't want people to have a good rest? ”

Zhang Yang shouted loudly and reluctantly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, two palace guards pushed the door open and began to rummage through the room.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang suddenly became angry: "Hey, hey, what did I say you two are doing?" Why is it that there is no politeness at all, and as soon as you come in, you rummage through things, and you don't know that we are the guests of honor of the city lord? ”

The two ignored Zhang Yang's complaints, and turned the living room into a garbage dump in the blink of an eye.

"An extremely important item has been lost in the Palace of Crodil, so everyone in the palace will be inspected tonight."

Crodil walked in, his tone flat, no longer as enthusiastic as he had been in the banquet hall.

He glanced at Zhang Yang, didn't see Wu Yu appear, and asked lightly, "Where is your companion?" ”
