Chapter 14: Attacked
After returning home and saying goodbye to Erin, Chris returned to his yard and walked into the back garden of the small building. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Attending a banquet of the nobility, if it is not for glamorous hunting or some other political purpose, will be boring and monotonous.
Chris walked slowly inward on the soft and thick lawn, taking a few deep breaths, filling his chest with cool air and refreshing his slightly tipsy mind.
The tragedy of the Holy See may have something else going on!
After D'Anca's words, Chris noticed that several people did not show signs of surprise, including his cousin Felix, because his panic was very evident at that time.
Why the alarm?
It's not that I'm afraid of being heard by the Holy See that these words can be described as "blasphemous".
Rather, they were afraid that the news would be spread.
So, there's a good chance it's true!
Could it be that these thirty-three nuns had become the personal favorites of some clergy or nobleman?
So what is the difference between the dignified Holy See and those Ji Courtyards, more advanced?
Chris couldn't imagine what the consequences would have if the facts were revealed.
So it is very likely that the murder of the clergy was by some nobleman or some nobleman.
And that brooch from Tress.
Elemental magic enchantments are common on the market, and light magic enchantments are indeed very rare - even Chris's father, Darnell, a lord is afraid that he never owns.
Maybe the brooch wasn't attached to it with some special light magic, but how could such an item appear on a small viscount's daughter?
The most interesting thing is that Tres himself does not seem to know the origin of this brooch at all.
Suddenly, Chris's frown began to widen - whatever the answer to these things was, it didn't seem to have anything to do with himself or his family for now.
Although Chris had a vague feeling that this matter should not be over yet.
Of course, tonight's trip, the most satisfying thing for Chris is the improvement of his elemental control ability in a critical situation.
In the darkness, Chris lifted a finger again, and a glimmer of light flickered across his fingertips.
It may seem like the most ordinary flash technique, but it contains complex elemental control techniques.
A hybrid of glitter and earth-based elements.
Naturally, the center was a Qi Magic Flash, but its blinding effect was gone.
The principle is the same as the street lamp in the previous life, when the light is too bright or even dazzling, add a layer of lampshade to it, if it is not enough, add a layer.
At that time, the time was too tight, and Chris chose to use the more shading earth elements as the "lampshade".
At the same time, the additional air element attached to the flash must be reduced to a minimum - as long as it can emit light.
After meditating in the garden for a long time, Chris went upstairs to rest.
The next day, in accordance with the previous agreement, Chris prepared his horse clothes and horses very early, but at the butler's insistence, he took a few guards and came to the Viscount Clive's mansion.
Surprisingly, Tress was already ready to ride a horse, wearing a white liner with a blue vest, hat, and riding boots, changing the previous soft image, looking heroic, but the majestic upper circumference made it almost impossible to stagger the eyes.
The two of them each took their guards and rode their horses all the way to the outer city.
The size of Kib is rare in the Empire, but what really surprises people is the area outside the city, and it is only after four or five kilometers that you will see the edge of the woods, and it is said that the original location of Kib Town was actually a forest. However, due to the flat terrain, the first lord mobilized an army and razed all the nearby lands within a few years. Then came the second lord, in order to defend against the beast tide, it took several years to clear the area within a radius of ten miles, which formed the topography of today's Kibu Town.
However, the third lord, Chris's father Darnell, built on the previous two lords, expanded and strengthened the city walls, paved the roads, and built a lot of construction in the city, so it can be said that after that, the town of Kib really began to stabilize and prosper.
The prosperity of the city often means that the living environment of the animals has shrunk, and it is difficult to see ordinary magical beasts on the periphery of the forest outside Kibu Town.
It can be seen that Tress is also familiar with this area, and Chris and his party came here, but dismounted at Tress's request and led the horse into the woods.
There are no low shrubs on the ground, and instead there are jagged weeds.
Chris found a piece of ground with dense foliage that was completely shaded from the sun.
The guards went far away and stood guard on the perimeter.
Tress got off the horse, his inactive fair cheeks were also stained with a layer of rosy, and some fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he sat down on the carpeted floor, and waved to Chris with a smile, and Chris took the water bladder and walked towards Tress.
Before he could get in front of Tress, Chris suddenly stopped.
He turned his head to look outward.
Tress wondered, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Cris's face was solemn, he put his index finger to his lips and whispered, "Don't speak!"
Tress was affected by Kris's face, and also nervously stood up from the ground: "What's wrong?"
Chris's eyes looked out into the woods and pressed her mouth: "I seem to hear something!"
Tress's face immediately turned pale, and he grabbed Chris's arm.
The woods were quiet, the voices of the guards in the distance before were completely gone, the slight wind swept through the woods, making a continuous "swish" sound, no bird calls, no insects, there was a dignified momentum that seemed to be gradually condensing.
Tress began to tremble and threw herself into Chris's arms.
Chris gently pulled Tress out of his arms and whispered, "Something happened to them, don't be afraid, follow me." ”
Tress nodded nervously, not daring to say anything.
Who can take out ten Level 4 guards in such a short period of time?
Didn't even give them a chance to warn?
If it's not an overwhelming number of people, it's too much difference in the strength of the comers.
Chris's palms began to sweat, which was caused by the adrenaline secretion caused by nervousness.
With Tres in front, Chris stepped back and quickened his pace.
Tress could barely stand on her feet, and after taking a few steps, she fell to the ground in fear.
Chris helped her up, and then, Tress felt Chris grasp his fingers on his arm suddenly tighten, and then heard Chris turn calm again: "Don't go!"
What's wrong?
Tress looked at Chris's face in amazement.
"He's coming!"
