Chapter Ninety-One: The Great Magister Athena (Asking for Recommendation Tickets, Monthly Tickets)
Death Knight Karthas.
The most mysterious person in the Brave Squad, no one knows what his origin is, only that he has a strong body, long pale hair, and a white bone war horse.
There is no doubt that this is a knight who is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dome Continent and is tainted with dark power.
It is rumored that he was once the son of a great aristocratic family, with a prominent background and a noble bloodline.
Some people say that he was once impulsive and proud, brave and tenacious, and had a handsome face.
Some people say that he once had a beautiful and excellent girlfriend, and they were even about to enter the palace of marriage.
It is also said that after he was contaminated with the power of darkness, he fell, his brain was broken, he killed his parents, and used the souls of his parents as sacrifices to pray for great power......
On the Celestial Dome Continent, an existence like Karthas was to be hunted down by the Holy See and judged by the Inquisition, but the original Brave Geralt did not know why he accepted the existence of Karthas, and even allowed him to become a member of the Brave Squad.
In his hand, there is a slender silver-white sword with ice blue flashing, which is a gift forged for him by the first generation of brave men who personally collected various precious materials, and the first generation of heroes also gave this weapon a nice name:
Frost Sorrow!
Although his main combat weapon was a spear...... However, he still accepted Geralt's gift, and he asked Geralt why he gave the sword such a name, Geralt did not answer, but he still remembered that Geralt's face was very strange at that time.
Not only did he accept himself, but he even gave him a precious weapon.
From that moment on, Karthas swore that his life would exist for Geralt.
But in the end, he could only watch as Geralt's body was torn to pieces by the despicable and ugly demon king, and he couldn't do anything about it.
In Karthas's heart, the only brave man to admit is Geralt, and no one can afford this title except Geralt, because the Orville Empire and the Thirteen Sages are ready to summon the second generation of braves, and Karthas leaves the empire angrily and wanders alone in the wilderness.
It wasn't until he received a message from Lothweiser that Geralt might be resurrected.
He shared the same disgust as Lothweiser for stealing the title of Brave, but as long as he could resurrect Geralt, he was willing to endure the anger and disgust in his patience.
Benson not only contacted Lothweser but also others, just as Qin Chu calculated, except for Catherine and Lothwieser, almost everyone had no time to support Bensen.
Sylph, Eileen, Ellie, and Athena are several women in opposite directions.
Ronald is in the territory of the monsters.
The Mad Muse is too far away.
However, what Qin Chu didn't know was that Karthas didn't show all his abilities in front of him, or rather, it wasn't Karthas's strength, but the ability of the white-boned war horse under Karthas's crotch.
If the Bone Horse is not stingy with its mana and runs wild, it can maintain a super-fast movement for a long time, although it will enter a period of exhaustion for at least three times as long after that.
It was this speed that allowed Karthas to get to Benson's location before Lothwieser and Natia.
However, after all, it was too late, and when Karthas came here, he could only see the dry and cold corpses on the ground, and looked at the tortured and broken Benson, whose body was covered in bruises, and Karthas's body was trembling.
Suddenly, the tall and stout knight raised his head and let out an angry wail into the sky.
Because of his identity, even in the squad, Karthas can feel the rejection of the other team members, Ronald looks down on him, Athena, Eileen Ellie hates him, Sylph even treats himself as a plague, and only Benson, the Mad Muse, and Lothweiser are willing to contact him.
In addition to the brave, Benson and Muse are Karthas's best brothers.
But all that can be seen now is the stiff corpse.
He was angry, he was sad, his heart was dripping blood.
Benson's Death ...... It's all because of Qin Chu.
No matter who killed Ben Sen, the culprit was Qin Chu, the second-generation brave man, if it weren't for this guy appearing in the Sky Dome Continent, Ben Sen wouldn't have to rush back to the imperial capital in a hurry, nor would he have to be intercepted by monsters.
He couldn't blame Lothweisser, after all, Lothweser was also trying to resurrect Geralt, so he could only pin all his hatred on Qin Chu.
Qin Chu...... Kill him.
Karthas roared, dark red flames flickering and dimming, and the white bone horse under his crotch let out an uneasy neigh.
……
Ahh
On the other side, Qin Chu, who had already left this area far away, sneezed.
Maybe there are too many people who miss themselves.
It is already on the frontier, and the temperature in the early morning is still very low, and the wind blows day and night, and the branches of the trees sway in the wind with a rattling sound.
At this moment, Qin Chu and Catherine had already stepped into the territory of the Storm Witch, and the raging wind seemed to be the witch's sign, warning others not to approach.
There were no monsters, no birds, no beasts, and there was hardly any movement except for the raging storm, as if it were a realm of death.
There was no enemy, but Catherine's fighting instinct had already made her feel a little suppressed, and she subconsciously clenched the hilt of her sword and leaned against Qin Chu, her eyes looking around vigilantly.
Qin Chu closed the panel, although the level of various attributes had increased a lot, but this did not satisfy Qin Chu.
Before, too, the level of absorbing hundreds of monsters has increased a little.
At that time, Qin Chu thought that it might be because the strength of those monsters was too weak, but now it was a level eighty-three shield guard Ben Sen, Qin Chu originally thought that after devouring Ben Sen, he should gain more, who knew that it would be just like that.
It seemed that the attribute value had increased a lot, but it was far from reaching the goal in Qin Chu's heart.
"Shhhhhhh......h
Antia, who was sitting on her shoulder, also twisted her head to the side.
The goddess's hair on her wrist shimmered slightly.
The little shoots that were entangled in Dou Yuan and the Demon Core in their bodies were also shaking slightly......
Suddenly, Qin Chu felt a little itchy in his ears, as if someone was lying in his ear and whispering in a soft voice, he stretched out two fingers to press the cochlea, and the originally vague murmur suddenly became clear.
Angelica's crisp voice came directly in Qin Chu's ears.
Message magic, a type of magic that can be used to communicate over long distances, is somewhat similar to cell phones on Earth, but the signal is poor and often subject to a variety of effects, especially in places where magic is disturbed.
"It's great that you're okay, Master, Angelica misses you so much......"
"By the way, I have an important piece of information for the master, Archmage Athena, a member of the Brave Squad, has come to the Imperial Capital last night, and with the consent of Wadsworth, Augustus and Santa Monica, she will serve as your magic teacher."
"Athena has moved her salute to the palace and is going to live here like Catherine, although Athena is very secretive, I find that she seems to have arranged the True Eye in the palace!"
The True Eye, which can be imagined as a camera on Earth, is a kind of magic used to peek.
Unlike cameras, however, what the True Eye sees is not stored, but is displayed directly in front of the caster's eyes.
Ordinary mages do not use this magic lightly, especially not having multiple True Eyes at the same time, as this will cause the caster's eyes to overlap and confuse what they see, and even give the caster's consciousness a strange illusion.
But for Athena, the archmage, none of this should be a problem!
Looking back, I'm afraid that Yimu was also living under Athena's surveillance, and Athena saw all his every move clearly, which strengthened Qin Chu's determination to solve Athena as soon as possible.
She showed great interest in the fact that her master had eradicated hundreds of monsters some time ago, and after the Eye of True Sight was arranged, she immediately asked around about these things, and she was also very curious about the relationship between her master and Catherine, and she was deliberately befriending all the people who had more contact with her master, Nikelus, Maritis...... There were even the guards who often traveled with their masters, including, of course, me. ”
"She bought a lot of fine wine and drank it with the guards in charge of the palace security, and she was already familiar with everyone in just one night."
Qin Chu stood in place, his eyes open, his gaze seemed to be watching the raging storm in front of him, but the roar of the storm did not destroy Qin Chu's tranquility, and only Angelica's voice was in his ears.
Qin Chu's emotions precipitated.
Athena, a very tolerant woman, this tolerance does not refer to her big breasts, of course, her breasts are indeed very big, the largest among the women Qin Chu knows, but this is not the point.
The point is that Athena has a charming and lazy temperament, although she is in a high position and strong, her behavior is informal, and with that special affinity and tolerance, it is easy to gain the favor of others.
Athena's friends were very wide, from the princes, nobles, and the upper echelons of the Holy See, to the peddlers, pawns, poor people, slaves, and almost everywhere Athena knew people.
Around Athena, a huge and astonishing social circle has been formed, in which whether it is the prince, princess, noble lady, restaurant owner, bar drunk, or drunk, it is possible to become Athena's source of intelligence.
Now, Athena may have learned a lot of information from the palace guards that could be very important to her.
It is really a worthy opponent to be wary of, it is conceivable that Qin Chu's actions will become more difficult in the future, he must find a way to avoid the Eye of True Sight, as well as all the guards, and even must reduce contact with others as much as possible, so as not to let Athena peek into his secrets.
Angelica's voice came again: "Master, do you need me to find a way to clear those true eyes?" ”
"No, I told you to be safe." Qin Chu replied quietly, his voice was not loud but had a majesty: "Athena's strength is extremely strong, you will be discovered by her immediately if you destroy the Eye of True Vision, don't look at Athena has a lazy smile on her face all the time, but when it is time to start, she will be more fierce than anyone else, and she will ruthlessly remove any obstacles." ”
"If you want me to tear my face with the Brave Team in order to avenge you, you can do it, I'm probably not their match now......"
"Hmm...... I see......"
Listening to a somewhat happy and somewhat reluctant voice, Qin Chu could almost imagine Angelica sticking out the tip of her tongue.
"If there is nothing particularly important, try not to use messages to contact me, Athena is very sensitive to mana fluctuations." Qin Chu admonished again.
"I see, then master, please be careful."
