Chapter Ninety-Five: The Dark Stronghold

In the last Dark Forest Trial, Clark showed obvious admiration for Fanny, but in the end, he was forced away by Han Shuo, and he didn't expect to be able to see him at the Babylon Demon Martial Arts Academy a few months later.

Duke and Clark were talking in a room at the Knight Academy, and the senior swordsman stood guard in front of the door, as if he was afraid that someone else would come and affect them.

Around this room, Duke personally arranged the wind barrier, and after Han Shuo's Yuan Demon approached, he could only see the high-level swordsman Eric guarding outside, because he felt the faint magic fluctuations, the Yuan Demon did not dare to enter without permission, and he could not detect what the two of them were talking about.

The last time in the dark classroom, Duke and Kemira met in the middle of the night, thinking that they would not be discovered. But now that it's daytime, and it's in the Knight Academy, it's no wonder that Duke is so cautious.

After a while, Duke and Clark walked out of the house. Duke once again followed the same path and left the Knight Academy alone, followed by Duke and Clark respectively, and found that Duke had returned to the Wind Academy, while Clark practiced martial arts in the proving ground in the Knight Academy.

At this time, it was the time for the knight students to practice martial arts, Han Shuo did not continue to stay in place to observe, and according to the location that Lawrence said, he directly came to one of the trial grounds to find Lawrence.

In this proving ground, in addition to some various weapons, there are also several war horses that look very strong with heavy armor. The biggest difference between knights and swordsmen is that knights have a great dependence on war horses in battle, and the kung fu on horses is a key lesson that knights must master proficiently, with the help of the impact and speed of war horses, knights can exert stronger strength.

I saw Lawrence, dressed in bright silver armor and holding a spear in his hand, flying across this proving ground, his horse crossing some towering obstacles under his crotch, and the spear in his hand was like a lightning bolt in the void as he flew forward.

"Hey, Lawrence!" Standing in front of the door and observing for a while, Han Shuo suddenly said hello with a smile.

After a horse neighing, Lawrence's war horse whirled, holding a spear in his hand and launching a surging momentum towards Han Shuo, and in the sound of the horse's iron hooves, Lawrence's spear stabbed straight at Han Shuo's chest.

Although the attack was extremely fierce, Han Shuo was unmoved, and it was not until Lawrence flew in front of Han Shuo on his war horse that he suddenly took out the Demon Slaying Blade, infused it with surging fierce demonic energy, and stabbed towards the spear.

With a "stab", under the impact of Demon Slayer, the spear was stabbed in two pieces from the tip, Lawrence was fortunate to get out of his hand in time, otherwise Demon Slayer Blade would have torn the spear, and his hand holding the spear might have been scratched.

However, the force of the combined impact with the war horse also made Han Shuo a little unbearable, and the overwhelming impact force that shook Han Shuo's arm holding the Demon Slayer Feng trembled slightly.

Lerma stopped, Lawrence flew down, and after removing the heavy armor on his body, he came to Han Shuo with great interest, his eyes focused on the Demon Killing Blade held in Han Shuo's hand, and exclaimed, "What kind of strange weapon is this, it can be so sharp!"

"Hehe, it's a mixture of black iron ore and black gold ore, as well as several rare metals, and then forged by the dwarves themselves, it's strange if it's not sharp enough. After Han Shuo put away the Demon Slaying Blade, he explained to Lawrence.

Holding a towel and wiping the sweat stains on his forehead, Lawrence said, "I see, it seems that your weapon must be extraordinary." By the way, you came to me this time, is it that the black iron ore has already landed?

Nodding, Han Shuo smiled and took out the piece of black iron ore that he had dug last night from the space ring, and said, "That's right, this piece of black iron ore should be able to meet your needs, let's pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other!"

"No problem, give me your crystal card, and I'll give you five thousand gold coins. Lawrence looked at the black iron ore in Han Shuo's hand with delight, and said urgently.

After Han Shuo and Lawrence finished trading, Han Shuo couldn't help but smile when he found that there were five more gold coins in the crystal card.

Just when both of them were in a good mood, from outside the proving ground, came the Earth Knight Clark. Clark had just come in and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Han Shuo, his face immediately changed, and he said lightly, "It's actually you!"

Turning around and seeing that Clark had actually come in, Han Shuo was also slightly shocked in his heart, and nodded at Clark with a smile and said, "Hello Clark, I haven't seen you for a long time, the last time you were in the Dark Forest, why did you suddenly say goodbye?"

"Hmph, last time I was framed by a despicable person, so I couldn't leave. After such a long time, Clark must have understood the truth of what happened last time, and now when he saw Han Shuo, he immediately cursed someone insinuatingly.

After a pause, Clark looked at Han Shuo and said, "Is Teacher Fanny okay, I was just about to go and greet Teacher Fanny and apologize casually." ”

"Teacher Fanny is very good, don't bother you!" Han Shuo said with a cold face when he heard that Clark was still thinking about Fanny.

"Hey, what's going on with you two. Hey, Senior Clark, aren't you already graduated, why are you here, and how did you meet Brian?" Lawrence looked at the two of them and said with the smell of gunpowder in them.

"I returned to the Knight Academy this time to investigate the disappearance of my brother Claude. While in Doro, my brother Claude seems to have been in contact with Brian, and if I find out that my brother's disappearance is related to him, I will make him pay. Clark's face sank and he said to Lawrence and Han Shuo.

Shocked, Han Shuo looked at Clark and was also a little surprised, he never thought that this Clark was actually Claude's brother, so this person was also the eldest son of the griffin captain. Although the last time Han Shuo killed Claude in Doro Town was quite clean, but Claude had indeed seen himself in the tavern before, and if Clark was really determined to investigate, this matter was really a bit tricky.

"What does it have to do with me, I'm not familiar with Claude, not to mention that his martial arts skills are so superb, what can he do?" Han Shuo's face was calm, and he said casually, after thinking about it, Han Shuo said to Lawrence: "Okay, I don't have anything to do, let's stop here today." ”

After saying this, Han Shuo didn't wait for Lawrence to say anything, he left the trial ground directly, and then quickly left the Knight Academy and rushed in the direction of the outside school.

Originally, the three Yuan Demons who were in charge of monitoring had to be retracted into their bodies by Han Shuo because of their distance. After learning about Clark's identity, Han Shuo felt that this matter was a little strange.

Clark, who was the eldest son of the Imperial Griffin Legion, would actually stay in it so sneakily with the messenger of the Cassie Empire, although he didn't know what the two had talked about, but Han Shuo felt that he couldn't control the matter, it was better to expose the high-level of the "dark curtain" as soon as possible, and let them worry about it.

A huge manor house in the north of the city, only three hundred meters away from the collapsed room where Phoebe lived last time, after Han Shuo arrived with the iron card of the "dark curtain" that symbolized his identity, he was not able to detect anything unusual from the outside, and knocked on the iron door with the iron card, and after a long time, a young man with a thin body opened the door.

First he glanced at Han Shuo's whole body, and then he asked unkindly, "Who are you looking for?"

Han Shuo didn't say anything, just took out the iron plate and handed it to the young man. The young man took the iron card and glanced at it, turned sideways, and waited until Han Shuo came in, the young man handed the iron card to Han Shuo, his face relaxed, and said lightly: "You just joined, I have never seen you before, and your iron card is also owned by the person who just joined, who is in charge of you?"

When he followed the young man inside, Han Shuo found that there were no special enchantments or mechanisms in the entire manor, which made Han Shuo very surprised, and when he looked around more carefully, he replied casually, "I just entered a few days ago, and an old man named Candida is directly in charge of me!"

"What, what? You're not mistaken, you just joined and Master Candida was directly in charge?" the young man was obviously taken aback, and asked Han Shuo with a soft snort.

Nodding, Han Shuo asked blankly, "Yes, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that. However, Lord Candida is the three giants who hold real power in our 'dark scenes', and in the entire empire, Lord Candida can directly call on the military forces of each city, or you can directly kill ordinary nobles and officers without consulting His Majesty's opinion, how can you, a new joiner, directly obey Lord Candida?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Han Shuo said, "How do I know, he brought me in anyway, and I came here to look for him this time." By the way, I took a look and found that this secret stronghold doesn't seem to have any defenses, so what's going on? ”

"Hehe, it's really a newcomer, come with me, I'll show you something!" The little thin man said in an old man's tone, and led Han Shuo inside with a smile.
