Surdak couldn't figure out how many knights of the Knights of the Guard Battalion were hidden outside the hotel, at least he saw a middle-aged couple sitting on the benches in the garden square opposite the hotel, the snow on their shoulders had fallen thickly, but they still had no intention of leaving, it seemed that it should be the personnel arranged by the guard battalion.

Receding from behind the curtain by the window, there was no light in the room, but the street could be seen far away in the light of the street lamps.

The streets were a little deserted, and there were few pedestrians at such a late hour, except for the occasional horse-drawn carriage hurrying by.

Surdak sat on the bed, he took out a square iron shield from his magic waist bag, the surface of this shield was covered with diamond-shaped iron thorns, and it was very heavy in his hand, cold metal texture, you can imagine what kind of effect the iron spikes on the surface of the shield would have when he swung the shield to make a shield strike.

Surdak rubbed his forehead with some distress, who would have thought that in Highlandsa City, he couldn't even buy a dwarf chain shield, and the types of weapon shields were not even as complete as the temporary market in the forest farm camp, but fortunately, his strength had increased a lot during this time, and he could easily lift this bulky tower shield, and finally bought this bulky guy in a weapon shop, except that it was not very convenient to carry, everything else was fine.

His worn-out Roman sword was also replaced by a knight's longsword with a silver gauntlet, this sword was nothing special except that the blade was a little better, in terms of weight, this knight's longsword was much lighter than his Roman sword, but it was about the same weight as the wooden sword in the practice room of the sword hall of the knight's academy, the first time he used this knight's longsword with a slightly narrower blade, Surdak sat on a chair with his eyes closed, silently feeling this knight's sword.

Knowing that the other party would not come too soon, Surdak lay on the bed and squinted for a while, then he woke up and first moved his body, then familiarized himself with the weapon in his hand, leaned his shield against the side of the bed, and lay on the bed with the knight's sword and his clothes, covered with a thick quilt.

During the month of being in the Knight Academy, Surdak only felt that the nodes in his body were still awakening little by little, and after each node was lit, the divine aura in his body would become a little thicker, and it was as if some kind of power in his body had been awakened.

Except that it was a little slow at first, now it was like a wildfire, and those lit nodes had spread to the entire shoulder, and spread to the back, even when he was eating and sleeping, the divine aura had been slowly spreading outward, and when he looked at his body, his consciousness seemed to be drilled into a vast starry sky, and countless stars were constantly rotating slowly around a certain point in this space.

There was a soft sound on the window, and he woke up from his meditative state, and then the curtains shook slightly, but no one walked in.

Surdak only felt a killing force approaching from the window, and his eyes opened a slit, but he didn't notice the intruder in the room.

Seeing the danger approaching, but at this moment, Surdak was like immersed in a dream, countless black tentacles stretched out from the shadows, and quickly tied his body firmly to the bed, no matter how his body struggled, he couldn't move, he opened his mouth, and his throat couldn't make any sound.

It was as if the whole body was firmly bound by an invisible black belt, and the throat was like a rag.

The breath of death enveloped his body, and cold sweat suddenly broke out from his forehead.

Just as Surdak hesitated, he suddenly noticed a jet-black dagger hanging above his head, and the voice of a man in black tight leather armor showed a vague outline from the corner of the wall, and at the same time, the dagger silently slashed at Surdak's throat.

At the same time, the nodes on his shoulders lit up, a divine aura came out of his body, and the ice and snow in the darkness quickly melted, and just as the silhouette of the black shadow snorted, Surdak used the knight's sword in his hand to hold the dagger dangerously, he kicked off the quilt covering his body, rolled over from the bed and jumped up, picked up the heavy tower shield and swung it at the black figure in the shadows.

Shield Strike

The sound of the heavy shield hitting the wall, and suddenly the entire wall was covered with cobweb-like cracks, but the erratic black shadow escaped from the gap in the shield at the last moment, and the black shadow quickly retracted into the corner of the wall and disappeared, and Surdak rushed to the window and blocked the half-opened window, and the black shadow just reappeared from Surdak's side, and the jet-black dagger in his hand stabbed Surdak in the left rib.

Surdak moved the tower shield in his hand, and the dagger stabbed against the surface of the barbed shield with a clink.

The black shadow wanted to hide in the shadows again, but was blocked by the knight's sword in Surdak's hand, and in desperation, the black figure pounced towards Surdak like a panther, and at the same time, the space behind the black shadow became pitch black, and half of the room suddenly disappeared from Surdak's eyes.

Then Surdak lost control of his body again, only to feel that countless ropes were entangled, and the figure in the darkness rushed out again, this time the dagger in the black shadow's hand pierced Surdak's heart, and a pale golden light lit up from Surdak's body, and the divine aura in his body completely dispersed these black shadows, raising his sword to tease the black figure.

The figure didn't expect Surdak to break free, and the sword cut a hole in the black shadow's arm, and the black dagger fell to the ground with a sound.

The black shadow no longer had any courage to fight, and turned into a black carp and jumped out of the window, the crisp sound of breaking the window glass was very clear in the night, Surdak didn't expect the other party to be as slippery as a fish, and hurriedly followed behind the black shadow, jumping from the window to the deserted street.

At this time, the man and wife dressed on the bench in the square park across the street heard the sound of the fight and had already outflanked the square garden, the black shadow could only change direction, turned around and fled west along the long street, Surdak put the bulky tower shield into the magic waist bag, and chased after him desperately.

But the shadow was unusually light, and sometimes disappeared in the shadow of the corner for a few seconds, and then emerged from farther away, getting farther and farther away from Surdak, and the two men on the bench in the square garden whistled loudly at the sight of the shadow about to flee.

At the same time, some knights of the guard battalion appeared on the rooftops and high walls of the square garden along the streets......
