After a few more words, the knights of the castle gradually put away their weapons and returned to their state of alert. Siegel and his party were able to sit down again with the Countess and say what they meant again.

The Countess of Ferraland held her eldest son, Castel Bill, and comforted her by touching her hair. The little boy inherited his father's sky-blue eyes and his mother's tawny hair, and gradually changed from horror to curiosity. However, the Countess's attitude did not change much, and she still claimed that there was nothing left of Sir Bill.

"When he was leaving, he instructed that he should never go to him, not to anyone. The Countess shook her head in a resolute tone. "Lord Marquis Siegel, I thank you very much for exonerating His Majesty from Bill's suspicion, but ......" she glanced at the wiki with some hesitation in her eyes, "He said that this is to protect me and the child from trouble to find us, so this is the only way." He's probably not going to be found by you, Lord Siegel. ”

"What can I tell you, Countess. Siegel organized his words for a moment before he said slowly, "Whatever danger Sir Bill encounters or troubles, I will help him." He's like a father to me, so I'm not going to sit idly by. And please believe that no matter what he does, I will be able to pull him out of trouble. There is no mountain that cannot be climbed, but only time is pressing. I'm here to save him, not to capture or hurt him. The wiki is here to help me, so you can rest assured. ”

The Chief of Intelligence nodded, and said, "His Majesty did not order the capture of Sir Bill. Even if Sir Bill did commit treason, he could be pardoned this time as long as he did not repeat it in the future. ”

Hear this. There was a twinkle in the countess's eyes. That's what makes Siegel frown the most. Could it be that Sir Bill really chose to overthrow Evan? Siegel, the king he had helped, supported, and championed, could use his influence to persuade His Majesty Evan once, but there was no guarantee that he would do so the next. So time was of the essence, and Sir Bill had to be found quickly.

Countess Ferrarán's lips twitched, and she wanted to say something, but the child in her arms moved, and she lost her courage - or the courage to take risks. "Let's go, the former friend of the negative man who abandoned us is not welcome here. While I don't have the power to expel you, you're not welcome here. ”

After she finished speaking. Siegel was silent for a long time, his eyes lowered and motionless, as if he were asleep. Humm's hand touched the hilt of the sword, and as if he felt something was wrong, he lifted it up again and picked at his nostrils. The others didn't move, and the whole scene seemed to freeze.

After a while, Custer Bill became a little impatient in his mother's arms, and said, "Mother, they're not bad people, are they?

"We're not bad guys. Little one, you should be thankful for that in a way. Siegel stood up suddenly. The elemental power burned like a flame in his eyes, his figure obscuring half the room, and his voice was like thunder. "If I were the bad guy, I could tear down the entire castle to get what I wanted!I could draw blood from you two children and trace my bloodline!I could dig deep into your minds and memories and dig up any information I wanted!I could summon demons and demons and track his breath!Even if he was dead, I could use ghosts and ghosts to dig him out of the cavern!" everyone retreated in panic, and Siegel suppressed his anger, allowing the elemental flames, The writhing shadows vanished, allowing the room to return to normal.

"But I'm not a bad person, I have self-control, I don't do the above things. He shook his head and said, "But the bad guys do, and they can do worse." ”

"I just wanted to help. He concluded.

The baby in the swaddling clothes was crying, and Custer hurried to coax him. The Countess of Ferraran couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, covering her mouth and sobbing. Siegel decided to wait another minute, and if the Countess still didn't help, then he would have to do his own thing.

How could he not be annoyed? His Majesty's edict had been issued, and the news of Siegel in the Star Castle was almost universally known, but Sir Bill had not shown up for half a month, and he must have been in great trouble. If the Countess doesn't help, well, since she's divorced from Sir now, it's not directly related. Siegel respected her only because she was Sir Bill's wife, not some countess.

He must protect the two children, and everything else is not within his care. He counted the time silently in his heart, and the incantation was on his lips. Finally, before a minute had passed, the Countess looked up, whimpered and said, "Find him, I'll help you find him." Don't let him get an accident, don't ......"

Eventually, Siegel used her concern for her husband to break her will. Sir Bill has a self-portrait that he discarded because of his poor technique. But the Countess secretly put it away, wanting to keep it as a memento. This is the best thing to locate Jazz, it belongs to Jazz and is his self-knowledge. Using spells, Siegel knew that Bill was in Swan Castle, which wasn't much away from the Horror Castle.

"Swan Castle?" Wiki began, "as far as I know, there will be a recent gathering of rebels in Swan Castle, but I have not received any reports from Sir Bill there. ”

Siegel glanced at him and nodded, the meaning of which was self-evident. His Majesty wants the heads of the die-hard rebels, so the spies have been investigating everywhere. Swan Castle has become a trap, but it is just not known when the net will be closed. Since Vicky now says that there is no Sir Bill, then this information has not yet reached His Majesty. This is the only chance to pull the Jazz out of the quagmire, and perhaps the last.

"Without further ado, let's go at once. Siegel said, "Lady Shelley, how about you stay here?"

"Why, can't you go and see the excitement?" "The Necromantic Chief shook his head, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself." You can use the Elemental Guard, and I have an army with me. ”

"Okay. I'll give you Hum. He has good martial arts. Being the last line of defense reassures me. Then Siegel turned to the king's intelligence chief, "How about the two of us acting together?"

"Then I can enjoy the power of the Marquis from the sidelines with peace of mind. Viki nodded.

Schwanstein Castle wasn't too far from where they were now, and Master Shelley had been there before, and she gave an overview of the castle and the surrounding terrain. He uses illusions to show the crowd Sir Bill's appearance in case of confusion.

"The walls of Swan Castle have dwarven runes and cannot be teleported into directly. Siegel changed the spell and took everyone on the Star. The magic ship immediately took off, rose to the top and activated the Hidden Mist Technique, flying towards Swan Castle like a dark cloud at dusk.

The castles that can ask dwarves to make rune walls are all relatively old. Most of these works were built four or five hundred years ago, during a period of close relationship between humans and dwarves. At that time, there was no New World, and the dwarves did not have enough living space, and the population was large, and there were even two famines. Many dwarves were forced to leave their palaces in the mountains to show off their skills in the human world, leaving behind many rune castles. Even in the early days of the discovery of the New World, in order to be able to support the construction of the Top of Mora, the dwarves received a large amount of food aid in the form of helping to build the castle's defense chain.

However, these castles generally have weaknesses. Its dwarven rune array is not complete. Myr City, for example, is also based on the Dwarven Rune Array. However, its core is deep underground, and the runes on the walls only serve to transmit the energy of the earth elemental and reinforce it. This is the result of the Dwarven Rune Master's sincere efforts. Some castles in the Eastern Continent, such as Swan Castle, rely on several dwarven totem poles on all sides of the city wall to form a formation that integrates interference and detection. These rune pillars are protected from wind and rain for long periods of time, and weapons such as trebuchets cannot damage them.

It was getting late, and the sun was setting with only the last pale yellow glow, and no one would pay attention to the dark clouds floating high in the sky. The Star Slid Gently over Swan Castle and offered a panoramic view of the entire building. It was a very standard hexagonal fortress, with only one path up the hill that could accommodate two carriages side by side, and the walls and cliffs in the other directions were integrated. In the past, if you wanted to take this place, you had to pave the only path with corpses, but times have changed, and the towering walls are no longer useful.

Today it was heavily guarded, with at least forty soldiers patrolling the walls, not counting the guards standing guard in the courtyard and at the gates. Swan Castle belonged to Duke Luther III, a very low-key, old-fashioned and non-existent old duke. The history of their family...... It doesn't make much sense to say it, at least when it comes to the magic ship, the sense of history is useless.

After re-applying the positioning, Siegel said: "Sir Bill's position has not changed in the slightest, which is a little strange, maybe he is in captivity. ”

"I thought the same thing, and that would explain why my spies couldn't find him. So I think it's more appropriate to define this operation as a rescue operation. Viki confessed: "Lord Marquis, I can fully cooperate with your actions, but on the king's side, I must report truthfully. As for whether the Imperial Council needs to know the outcome, it all depends on His Majesty's will. But I think that things will go well, considering that the Marquis and his friends have taken the initiative to help the king to clear the rebels. ”

Siegel understood what the Chief of Intelligence meant. He ordered Starrope to aim at the castle's four Dwarven Runestones, and then fired a salvo with eight railcans.

The circle that blocked teleportation was destroyed, and although the barrier could last for a while, it had become a rootless tree and a sourceless water. With the help of the power of the Mir Energy Core, Siegel forcibly attacked the protective barrier. It took less than half a minute for him to locate Sir Bill's position and tear open the spatial passage.

Contrary to what he had envisioned, this was not a forbidden dungeon, but a large room arranged in the shape of an altar. Along the walls lay the skulls of various creatures, each with a thick layer of wax oil and a slightly swaying pale yellow candlelight. Starting in the eye sockets of the skull, the red paint extends to the very center of the room. Two snakes, one black and one white, chasing each other's tails, formed a circle, with a long sword stuck in the middle of the ground.

Sir Bill wears an elaborate off-white bust with a helmet tucked under his arm. He smiled weirdly when he saw Siegel.

"Outliers," he said, "destroyers of history." (To be continued.) )
