Chapter 144: The Young Woman Killer

The next day, Roy and Arya packed their bags at Arnold's mansion and prepared to leave.

It's been a few days since the Holy Land Tour, and Arya is going back to the Inheritor Academy to continue her studies.

As the class leader of the Holy Knight class, she has a lot of things to do in the academy.

Roy is an exception, and it is clearly the work of the Imperial Knight that is more important than his studies.

Until the beginning of next year, he will continue to follow d'Artagnan for an internship as a "knight of the king", although he feels that his senior intern is somewhat unreliable.

Roy and Arya were ready to go, waiting for d'Artagnan in the main hall.

It wasn't until the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock that a carriage of the Ellan family arrived late.

The two men met each other, and d'Artagnan poked his head out of the carriage and said to Roy, "Get in the carriage."

Roy nodded and looked at Arya, "I'm going to work, and when you go back to the Inheritor Academy, remember to ask Mentor Edward for a leave of absence for me."

Blatantly skipping class under the pretext of working as a knight in front of him.,Even if the headmaster comes, he won't say anything about him.。

As for the affairs of the Moon Shadow Class, with his "secretary" Fiya here, he should be able to handle it well.

Arya nodded, and was about to say goodbye to Roy, when d'Artagnan looked at her and nodded:

"Are you Miss Arya? First time we met, my name was d'Artagnan, Bourbon. ”

Arya bowed slightly: "Hello, Mr. d'Artagnan, the young master has been taken care of by you."

"Young Master?" d'Artagnan was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you already engaged?" It's a pretty flowery play. ”

However, he didn't dwell on it, and instead said, "If Miss Arya is going to the World Tree too, let's get in the car together."

"Later, Roy and I will go to the World Tree to do something."

Arya looked at Roy, who nodded slightly.

So, the two got into the car and rushed in the direction of the World Tree.

"What is our work today?" In the carriage, Roy asked.

"Take it easy, don't be so serious.

D'Artagnan waved his hand, "Her Royal Highness Vera has not succeeded to the throne after all, and she doesn't have much business on hand.

"Her Royal Highness Shireen will also take care of the aftermath before she abdicates, and she will not leave the thorny issues to the next successor.

"So during this time, we weren't really busy. It's said to be taking you on an internship, but you can even think of it as a reasonable vacation for you. ’

"Okay." Roy nodded, he seriously suspected that d'Artagnan was just trying to fish.

Arya next to her had bright eyes and looked at Roy expectantly: "In that case, young master, do you have time to live in the academy tonight?"

That's right, after winning the freshman competition, she finally has enough merit points.

After returning to the academy today, the first thing she had to do was to rent the single-family villa in the dormitory area that she had loved for a long time.

She'd clean the villa, then prepare a delicious meal and greet Roy at the door to wash away the fatigue of a hard day's work.

Perfect plan!

Roy looked at d'Artagnan and nodded, "Yes, if it's not busy, I'll go back to live in the academy."

The carriage arrived at the foot of the World Tree, and Arya saluted Roy before being transported to the House Collar.

When her figure disappeared from the portal, d'Artagnan sighed: "I knew that you already had a marriage contract, but I didn't expect Miss Arya to be so virtuous.

"When she looks at you, the tenderness in her eyes is overflowing, Roy, you are truly blessed."

"Is there one?" Roy coughed a little embarrassedly and quickly changed the subject.

"What about the seniors? is not only a lawyer, but also a knight in front of the palace, and he looks so handsome and chic, he must be very sought after, right?

"I wonder if my predecessors already have a favorite object? If you want to have a happy event in the future, remember to call me. ’

"Me? Happy event?" d'Artagnan smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can I harm others and make her a widow at such a young age."

Roy was slightly stunned, remembering what he said yesterday:

"Not one of the masters of Mejia has lived to be thirty years old!"

It seems that this handsome blonde guy is not as cheerful as he seems, and this cruel truth is like a "curse" that still haunts him to this day.

"It was just a joke, but the main reason is that I don't want to get married so early."

"Because I am not married, I am indeed very popular now, and every girl I meet has confided in me my admiration.

"I enjoy playing with them, and the future is not a concern, at least everything is happy and real for now.

"But you're different, Roy, you've been betrothed to Arya early, she's a lawyer, and no one dares to dig into her corners and suffer her revenge.

"So, no matter how good you are, I'm afraid there won't be many women in the future!"

Roy just smiled and shook his head, "My womanhood is all used on her." ”

"Tsk, show affection, huh."

D'Artagnan smacked his tongue unpleasantly, "Let's get down to business, didn't you just get Apophis?" What you have to do in the past few days is to gradually become familiar with and master the power of Apophis in actual combat.

"After all, before the Imperial Knight, you were still a lawyer, and if you didn't have a clear understanding of your own strength, Your Highness wouldn't be able to trust you with those more dangerous tasks.

"Roy, the small world of the World Tree, have you reached that level?"

"The fourth layer, the Giant Tree Forest." Roy replied.

D'Artagnan clapped his hands and said, "It's just right, I'm going to the fifth layer of the "Green Mountains and Hills" to do some errands today.

"Then your task today is to clear the fifth layer of the World Tree, I believe that with your current strength, it should be no problem to reach the final teleportation point of the green mountains and hills in one day."

In the World Tree, the division of the strength of the Demon Beasts is extremely regular.

Generally speaking, every time you pass two floors, the level of Warcraft in the small world will rise by one order, and the Warcraft of each layer of Lord level will be one or two orders higher on this basis.

Take the fourth-tier Giant Tree Forest as an example, where the ordinary demonic beasts are second-order gibbon tree apes, and the lord-level demonic beasts are fourth-order split-maned lizardmons

The fifth-level small world of the World Tree is the "Green Mountains and Hills", and its most common magical beast is the third-order swamp monitor lizard, and the lord magical beast is the fifth-order green mountain tooth beast.

Although the Green Tooth Beast is a fifth-order, it likes to live alone, and basically appears alone

And Roy is now a fourth-order, and with his law weapon, it is not a problem to clear the level alone.

It is common for every lawyer to fight beyond the ranks, especially since his weapon is the famous sword Apophis, and d'Artagnan believes that Roy will be able to deal with the green tooth.

Roy stood on the teleportation table and teleported with d'Artagnan to the fifth level of the World Tree, "Green Hills".

The camp in this small world is perched on a hill with a large expanse of verdant greenery.

As far as the eye can see, patchwork of terraced rice fields along the river spreads across the entire area nearby, creating a wonderful landscape.

"The green hills are suitable for growing crops, and more than 60% of all the food in Sidneya is produced here."

"And the House of the Temple, which owns the most land in the hills of the hills, is the House of Victor, who represents the priest of the House of the Temple.

"The head of the Vidor family who lives here is called Maritan, and Vidor, the sister of the current Vido family, has just lost her husband.

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman wearing a black veil and a long black dress on the side of the portal platform came with a team of guards.

She should be the Maritan in d'Artagnan's mouth.

"Lord d'Artagnan.

The woman bowed to d'Artagnan, "It's a pleasure to invite you here, so please let me do my best this time, why don't you stay here tonight?"

Although she is a married woman, her skin is still fair and smooth like a girl, and her temperament is mature and charming.

d'Artagnan smiled: "If you stay, you don't have to, I came with my colleague, he still has business to do today."

'Colleague?'

Maritan's curious eyes fell on the spatial ring on Roy's right hand, "This is the one you mentioned to me last night, Lord Roy, the chief royal knight of His Royal Highness Vera?"

"First meeting, Lady Maritan." Roy bowed his head.

"Oops, that's so handsome."

Maritan looked at Roy and was full of praise, "Becoming a royal knight of His Royal Highness at a young age is really promising." "If it weren't for Lord Roy's marriage contract, I would have wanted to introduce you to the girls of our family."

Roy smiled politely, and d'Artagnan took over: "Roy is still practicing, and his task today is to clear this world."

Maritan hurriedly said politely, "I'll send a team of guards to protect Lord Roy's safety."

"It's okay, the demonic beasts of this layer of the world can't bother him."

D'Artagnan pulled out a map and a square token and handed it to Roy, "This is the Sound Transmission Stone, you should know how to use it, right?" Once you've followed the map to the final waypoint, or in case of any danger, call me with the Soundstone, and I'll come to you. ’

Roy nodded, he knew about the Sound Transmission Stone, which could be exchanged for merit in the Inheritor Academy.

As the name suggests, the function of the Sound Transmission Stone is equivalent to a telephone, as long as the spiritual power is injected, you can talk to another inheritor who has the Sound Transmission Stone.

It's just that the function of the sound transmission stone also has its limitations, and its sound transmission distance is limited, and the basic version of the sound transmission stone that can be exchanged in the academy has a communication distance of only about three kilometers in a normal environment.

Moreover, the full name of the sound transmission stone is "the sound transmission stone of the mother and the child", and the sound transmission stone can only transmit sound to each other with another sound transmission stone that has been paired with it. The sound transmission stone he received should be the top version of the special supply of the Imperial Knight, at least its sound transmission range should at least cover the final teleportation point here.

In order to keep in touch, the Transsonic Stone should not be included in the spatial ring, Roy tied it around his waist, held the map and said:

"Then I'm leaving, I'll be in touch later.

D'Artagnan nodded: "Have a nice trip."

Roy walked along the path by the terraces to the outside of the safe zone, and when he turned around, he saw d'Artagnan already talking and laughing with Maritan into the Victoria family's mansion.

"It can't be a young woman killer, right?"

Roy muttered and looked down at the map.

For the first few small worlds in the World Tree, the textbooks in the Inheritor Academy have a relatively detailed introduction to their ecology. The green hills are humid, and the outside of the safe zone are mostly dwarf forests and swamps, so it is easy for first-time raiders to be "killed at first sight" by various traps here.

For example, the grass that looks very flat on the outside, only to step on it is a puddle or even a swamp.

So Roy also cheered up, opened the Eye of Insight of the Judgment, and followed the instructions on the map in the direction of the final waypoint.

Not long after leaving the safe zone, Roy was about to step out when the Eye of Insight quickly revealed the ghost of himself about to fall into a puddle.

His feet were retracted just in time, and he was about to take a breath when a black shadow broke through the turf covering the surface of the puddle and quickly pounced on him!

Its whole body is covered in black scale armor, crawling on all fours, and it is the most common magical beast in the green hills, called the swamp monitor lizard.

The swamp monitor lizard is generally a third-order magical beast, and even if it doesn't use Apophis, it is by no means an opponent.

But this time, since he was here to test Apophis, Roy wouldn't hide it, and with a flip of his wrist, the black-gold sword was already in his hand.

In order to prevent him from accidentally falling into a puddle in the evasion, Roy did not dodge the attack of the swamp monitor lizard.

The three styles of the Xuan-colored in his left hand condensed into the style of a spiritual shield, and he raised his hand to block this blow, which was a terrifying physical fitness that made him not take half a step back even in the face of the frontal collision of the swamp monitor lizard

Immediately afterward, Apophis in his right hand stabbed the swamp monitor lizard in the abdomen.

"Shhh

Battered, the swamp monitor lizard let out a piercing cry like a lightning strike, struggled to get rid of Roy, turned around and burrowed back into the pool.

Roy didn't pursue, he flicked Apophis away, shaking it off with blood.

I saw that the originally turbid water surface was gradually stained red by the blood rising from below, and after a while, the pond was dyed into a pool of blood.

Even some of the bubbles that first came up on the surface of the water are now gradually disappearing.

Affected by Apophis' curse, the swamp monitor lizard should have died.

However, the swamp monitor lizard alone was not enough to test Apophis' power, and Roy continued on his way through the swamp to the wooded area near the final teleportation point.

After arriving in the woods, he did not rush directly to the final teleportation point, but stopped, carefully searching for clues in the woods.

Soon after, he found a footprint resembling a bear's paw in the woods, and at the same time, he heard the sound of trees shaking nearby.

Roy followed the sound and went forward, "I saw a brown bear standing by the tree, pulling at the bark.

It stands up to more than three meters tall, its hands and feet are black, its body is dark brown, and the two exposed fangs on the side of its mouth stand out.

When Roy spotted the brown bear, the brown bear noticed him as well.

It turned around and returned to its four-legged state, and let out a demonstrative roar that startled a line of birds in the woods. Faced with the approach of the giant beast, Roy raised Apophis, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly:

"I've been looking for you for a long time, Green Tooth Beast."
