Chapter 258: Quest 3
"Your Excellency!"
Ed looked up from the topographic map and looked at Chesterton, who had just returned, and asked, "Everything is done?"
"Well, everything is going well, I have also been to the captive knight camp, those guys have been scattered by adults, I think it will be impossible to recover for a while, my lord, congratulations on another big victory!" Chesterton said sincerely, although there is a class gap between Ed and the enemy, but being able to kill nearly a hundred knights in one battle is also an extraordinary feat, and it is worth showing off for half a lifetime.
And looking at the insanity of those knight captives, it is conceivable that the battle at that time must have been tragic and bloody to the extreme, enough to destroy a person's mind, so that the psionics could not gather strength normally until now, which is the sequelae left by the great war!
"Hmm!" Ed nodded, Chesterton's side was much more sure of doing it himself, according to reliable information, Delia was imprisoned in the Grand Duke's Castle, no matter how impenetrable the Wolf Tooth Castle he saw last time, he had to lead someone to break in.
"What's going on over there with the druids?" he continued.
"I talked to Malone, but he didn't say anything, but the woman next to me said that there was some evasion in her words, telling me that many of his subordinates wanted him to lead the team to leave our Roland Army, and that it was Commander Delia who signed the employment contract, and now that the other party is gone, there is no point in staying!" Chesterton said angrily.
Ed was silent for a moment, knowing that what his companion said must be Shirin, that woman who has always been shrewd will definitely not easily put herself in danger, and it is normal to have other thoughts when the situation is not good. After all, these high-level leaders still know very well who the pillars of the army really are, and it is not surprising to look down on themselves.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Shirin said this to you, but he wanted to test me through your mouth, and you should go back and tell Malorne. Wolf's Tooth Fort will be the last battle, and they will be placed at the bottom of the battle sequence, but no one is allowed to retreat until the battle is over!" "Although he is friends with Malorne, he will not care if the other party allows his subordinates to spread remarks to shake the morale of the army, and I believe that the other party will not embarrass himself.
"Yes!"
In the Wolf's Tooth Castle, the moon was intoxicated by the mist, and it was reluctant to reveal its full face, only faintly revealing the soft moonlight sprinkled in the fortress.
A man in a trench coat shot up from a cliff like a nighthawk. When approaching the terrace, he stretched out one foot and touched the ground in a chic manner, and slowly landed in front of the waiting crowd.
Seeing the other party's iconic smiling mask, the church personnel who were waiting here early bent down slightly and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the envoy!"
If Ed was here to call out the other party's name in surprise, the man who called himself Gabriel nodded to his subordinates, "What about the suspect?"
"It's safe to be locked up in the dungeon, but I just found out that the companion who betrayed her had bribed the guards to go in and meet the other party, and when he came out, he immediately went down the mountain and left, I don't know if I want to chase it back?" replied an old man at the head of the group tremblingly. This matter can be big or small, and if the other party takes away some secrets, he will be guilty of too much.
Gabriel picked up his cane and tapped it lightly on the ground, and with a bang, everyone in the church could feel a layer of divine magic fluctuations that seemed to be absent with the sound.
The magician paused in place for a moment. A group of people stood silently with him, and the occasional mountain breeze blowing on the high platform lifted the hems of everyone's clothes and wet their clothes with water vapor. But no one dared to use their own strength to restore warmth, for fear of interfering with this adult's magic. After all, the other party's reputation within the church is not very friendly.
"A faint smell, but I knew my acquaintance and fled. No matter how minor the role is, let's go! Take me to see what the suspects you have identified are capable of. Gabriel seemed to have quickly grasped a considerable amount of information through unpredictable divine magic, and after saying that, he raised his leg and walked forward.
After a few steps, he walked out of the crowd and came to the leading position, and the old man behind him followed to the left, ready to show him the way, but unexpectedly, the envoy suddenly stopped, lifted the gentleman's cane with one hand, and held it in the air and lightly tapped it at the core tower of the fortress in the distance.
"It seems that the owner of this place has a lot of curiosity about me!" With his faint words, a low muffled snort came from afar, the sound frequency was not high but unexpectedly powerful penetrating, and the church staff felt the earth and stones under their feet tremble.
"My lord, this place belongs to the Grand Duke of Burgundy, he is quite ambitious, a few years ago he used a trick to pit the former king of Roland, which indirectly led to the war between the two countries, and he took advantage of the fisherman, it is said that he has been studying the golem technology, and there was a breakthrough some time ago!" The old man hurriedly presented everything he knew, the archduke's own strength was also quite profound, not lower than himself, but just now he was broken by the envoy with a blow and peeped, and he couldn't even suppress the screams of injury, and the strength in front of him was really more fierce than the legend.
"What kind of relics or genius did the Golem come from?" Gabriel retracted his staff, not feeling the discomfort of being coveted before moving again, asking casually.
The group passed through the downward passage, and the old man sent several magic spells in a row to form a light source on the way forward to guide the adult, because the action was secret, so the torches on the wall of the original passage were not lit by the servants in advance, "It is a local ruin, and another adult went down to see it some time ago, and he went with the people of the Grand Duke's organization." ”
Hearing this, Gabriel's footsteps suddenly became chaotic, "Is it Raphael?"
"Yes, it's the one!" It is rumored that the two have not been in harmony, and the old man himself is just a bishop of a remote country, and he knows that it is better for him not to be involved in some things, and cold sweat broke out on his back when he bowed his head and answered.
He cautiously waited for the moody adult to react, but fortunately Gabriel didn't seem to care, "That guy who only knows how to play all day long has been there, I'm not interested in this kind of evil way, you can do it yourself!"
They shuttled through the fortress, usually heavily guarded, but the Wolf's Tooth Fort, which was stationed a lot, seemed to have become a ghost fortress with no one tonight, not to mention the guards who had the duty to guard and even the servants who were usually in constant flux all disappeared.
Gabriel made it to the dungeon where Deria was imprisoned, and after ordering the rest of the group to wait, he entered the dark cell alone.
After a while, violent magic fluctuations erupted inside, and huge explosions and strong flashes appeared continuously, but the church personnel buried their heads in their hoods one by one, and waited quietly outside under the leadership of the old man. (To be continued......)
