The erosion of time had made the castle dilapidated, and so was the wooden gate that stood in front of Balian. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The various mutilated openings could still be seen in the dim scenes, but Balian did not put his eyes into these small holes out of curiosity, and Balian, who had served in a certain knighthood, had a psychological shadow of these small holes that could be spied on.

Once, out of curiosity, a companion wanted to observe the situation of the enemy on the other side of the door through these small holes, but the enemy inserted a knife into the brain, and fell to the ground and convulsed for a while before dying.

It was because of this incident that Balian had an inexplicable fear of these small holes.

The best way to overcome this useless fear is undoubtedly to eliminate these little holes.

From the moment he entered, Balian did not think that he wanted to enter civilly, and then gentlemanly invited the demon to have a fair battle with him, Balian was not a knight, but a wandering warrior.

The rules and regulations of the knight have always been despised by Balian, and although many of these rules and regulations are all virtues that Balian recognizes, there are also many restrictions that are added to it by boredom.

For example, knights can't sneak attack, knights can't use bows, etc.

Balian didn't understand why he should abandon these things in favor of the most laborious methods.

The dilapidated wooden door was rudely broken open by Balian, and the scene inside was also reflected in Balian's eyes, and the dim light could not stop Balian's observation.

The corpse of a decomposing female was hung from a beam with her hands tied, and although her naked body was highly decomposed, some of her intact skin still showed signs of abuse.

The female corpse hanging in the middle of the room, Balian believes that this should be the source of the existence of the demon spirit.

Entering the room, Balian didn't do anything immediately, his vigilant eyes kept scanning the surroundings, trying to discover all kinds of dangers hidden in the darkness, as well as the demons that had not appeared for a long time.

Because the commission didn't say what kind of demon spirit it was, Balian didn't know when this demon would appear, and if it appeared when he purified this corpse, it would be a joke.

And Balian wasn't sure if this corpse was the body of the demon spirit, so he still shouldn't act rashly until the corpse of the demon spirit was determined.

"Whipped marks...... "The highly decomposed body made it difficult to discern what kind of abuse this woman had suffered during her lifetime.

"The decomposition is very bad, and the white bones are exposed...... "Balian frowned and looked at the body of this female corpse, feeling a little sad, perhaps because of the little compassion that remains as a modern person.

"The time of death is about two months...... "Balian didn't know if there was a mistake in this judgment, it was difficult to analyze anything from the rot to the point where it was now.

But two months ago, it was the time Balian came to this place, when Balian had accompanied a group of refugees.

The war between the kings resulted in a large number of refugees, either fleeing the war or evading military service. However, it is not known whether these refugees are following their own.

Balian didn't make any immediate moves on the female corpse, and it was better to be cautious and investigate the surrounding situation carefully.

There were also numerous corpses left in this room, including men and women in the prime of life, as well as a large number of children and old people, and the various parts of the room were carefully surveyed, and not a single detail escaped Balian's eyes.

"It's ......" Balian, who had found nothing, finally turned over a familiar badge on the body of a highly decomposed middle-aged male.

The coat of arms of the Knights of the Grey Eagle!

"Isn't this my badge?" Balian easily found his Chinese name engraved on the back of the badge, and now everything can be determined that these dead people are the refugees he brought here.

When they parted two months ago, Balian gave the leaders of the refugee badge of his former allegiance to the Knights, asking them to display it in case of danger, hoping that it would deter some outlaws.

However, it seems that my original idea was too idealistic, and I don't know what these poor refugees have been attacked here.

Looking at the corpses that had been hung up and abused in the back, Balian believed that they must have been attacked by bandits, or patronized by the regular army, and if it was a non-human species, they would definitely not hang women up and abuse them or something.

If it weren't for the passage of time, Balian would have wanted to find out if the woman who had been hung up had been assaulted.

The unknown cold slowly crept up his spine, and Balian felt that danger was gradually approaching him, and his right hand holding the long sword immediately swung behind him, first shocking the dangerous creatures that appeared, and at the same time taking down the holy water bottle hanging from his waist, ready to paste at any time.

A sudden sound broke through the empty room, and the sword smeared with holy water also produced a silver afterimage in the swing, a light capable of slaying evil creatures.

"Ah!!!!h

The sudden change and the attack he had never encountered before had left Balian in a passive position, a momentary dullness that was deadly on the battlefield, and Balian could already see the wraith's claws piercing his chest.

"Don't get me wrong! Don't get me wrong! Lord Balian, don't hit me!" the expected attack did not come, but a slightly familiar and childish voice reached Balian's ears.

"I'm Tina, do you remember me, Lord Balian?" a little girl in a tattered linen dress was now crouched in the corner of the room, her eyes still hazy as she looked at Balian.

The little girl crouching in the dark, Balian felt very familiar, and after a little recollection, he remembered who this little girl really was.

This is a little girl among the refugees who came with her, on the way to escape, this little girl is very lively, not at all conscious of being a refugee, and it is this little girl's liveliness that makes the pessimistic refugee team have a rare laugh.

The acquaintances met, Balian was not happy, this is a castle occupied by demons, and the familiar little girl in front of him does not know if it is a phantom living in her eyes.

The long sword in his hand did not let go, and the holy water bottle in his hand was ready to be thrown at the child.

"Lord Balian, don't hit Tina!Woo~~Woo~~" The tears of this unreal child had burst into tears, and the sound of crying was echoing in the room.

The crying of a child is certainly sympathetic, but Balian now prioritizes his own safety, this is a different world with all kinds of strange phenomena, and any negligence will leave him with no place to bury.

The knight had promised to protect Tina...... "This kid who has the appearance of Tina is very afraid of the holy water bottle in Balian's hand and the sword smeared with holy water.

Hands and feet retreated to the place behind him, as if he saw a man-eating monster approaching step by step

"Why are you attacking me?" Balian didn't relax in any way because of the other party's retreat and timidity, and now the other party's reaction undoubtedly made Balian more vigilant, only evil creatures would be afraid of holy water.

"I just want to play a game of guess me with Lord Balian......" Stepping back, the child with collapsed tear ducts now stirred up the bottom line of modern people in Balian's heart, "It was always Lord Balian who covered my eyes...... Now I finally have a chance to cover Lord Balian's eyes......"

The staccato sound of his speech continued to impact Balian's current psychological defenses, and Balian was now wavering, not knowing if he was going to lay down his weapon and have a good talk with this familiar child.

However, thinking that the other party might now be a demon entrenched in the castle, Balian constantly suppressed this idea of death.

"Tina. After a little thought, Balian hung the holy water bottle in his hand around his waist and took the long sword in his hand behind him, so that while he retained sufficient defensive capabilities, he was able to have a good conversation with this familiar girl who might become a demon spirit" Tell Uncle Balian, what is going on here?"

Perhaps it was because Balian put away these weapons that scared the girl, and Tina, who had been crying loudly, gradually stopped crying, but her tear-filled eyes were still vigilant, as if she was afraid that Balian would take these things out again.

"Mom...... By...... The bad guys killed ......" The crying stopped, but the staccato sobbing cut the child's words into fragments.

"Daddy...... It's also ......."

"Uncles...... Auntie is also ......"

"Mommy hid me in a cupboard...... "Tina cast her gaze into a box in the corner, the young girl couldn't even tell the difference between the box and the cupboard.

"Bad people choke me with cigarettes......"

Balian bit his lip slightly, he didn't need to listen to the little girl's description now, he knew what kind of disaster had befallen the other party, and who the demon spirit was now entrenched in the castle.

"Tina, are you scared now?" Balian slowly approached the girl he had been with for a while, and smiled softly to relax the child.

Coming into contact with the wraith, Balian had no such intention before he set out, but now he had thrown the plan in his mind into the unknown distance.

"Scared...... Now Tina is so ugly...... And there are bad guys who want to hit Tina...... "The child's young hands kept wiping the tears overflowing from his eyes, and his clear gaze carried the fear of memory.

"Tina knocked the bad guys down, though

After hanging up, there will be no bad guys to beat Tina......" Although Tina still has tears lingering in her eyes, her immature little face still blooms with a smile that she has not seen for a long time.

Like a child who shows off his grades to adults.

"Lord Balian...... What's wrong with you?" the rare smile had now condensed on the child's face, and the overwhelmed child didn't know how to face the situation in front of him.

Balian, who was still smiling kindly, suddenly collapsed, and at the time of his fall, Balian could no longer hear Tina's voice, and his brain was completely occupied by the ticking sound that he had been listening to for fourteen years.
