Under the scorching sun, even the birds had to find a shady place to take shelter.

In the early afternoon, as the food was constantly digested in the stomach and intestines, the fatigue of the body and the catalysis of the high temperature, even the Bronze Horseman Al, his spirit and vigilance inevitably decreased a little.

"Rustling ......"

At this moment, a light wind blew, causing the branches and leaves to shake, and the shade of the trees on the ground also swayed slightly.

It was an incomparably normal scene, which had happened so many times during this time of respite, that it didn't even attract Al's attention.

Under the prisoner cart, the shadow distorted slightly, wanting to flow towards the prisoner cart.

Suddenly, a cross worn by Mira, who was sitting next to the prisoner's car, emitted a pale golden shimmer, and the light diffused, reflecting a semi-illusory figure.

"Boom!"

The knight's sword unsheathed with a loud sound, and the blade was covered with silvery-white energy like substance.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the silver and white collided violently with the pitch black, and the leaves of the surrounding trees scattered in all directions.

Next to the prisoner car, Mira, who had already gotten up, plunged the knight's sword into the ground in his hand, he rested his hands on the hilt of the sword, and stared at the semi-illusory figure in the shadow more than thirty meters away.

"Witch."

Mira's eyes flashed with confusion and contemplation under her bright silver helmet.

After contacting Roy yesterday, he was very sure that Roy had not been in contact with the witch at all during this time, and the so-called collusion with the witch was simply a "fabrication and false accusation".

The kind of polluted magical aura on the witch's body is impossible for ordinary people or even ordinary knights to detect, but how can the temple that has been dealing with witches for hundreds of years have no means of detection?

The Divine Punishment Knight, a violent institution that chases and captures witches in the temple, naturally has this special method, and Mira, as the captain of the Divine Punishment Knight, is even more proficient in this way.

He was sure that Roy didn't have even the slightest remnant of tainted mana.

How could such a person who had never been in contact with the serving witches in his own territory collude with the wandering witches?

But now, there is a witch who tries to sneak into the prison car where "Roy" is being held?

It seems that the person behind the attack on the black stone leader is the one who really colluded with the witch......

Thinking of this, Mira's eyes flashed with fierceness.

More than thirty meters away, a semi-illusory slender figure in the shadows stared at the knight next to the prisoner car, and a look of shock flashed in his heart.

Silver three-star knight?

No, it's not that simple, the fighting spirit of the knight in front of him is so strong that it has long surpassed the general sense of a silver three-star knight!

He is, a Silver Peak Knight who is only one step away from the Golden Knight!

How could a divine punishment knight of this strength appear in such a remote territory and personally escort the son of a "little-known" lord?

The witch in the shadows couldn't figure it out.

But there was no time left for her to think, because Mira, on the other side, had already launched an offensive again.

……

Blackstone Collar, Lord's Mansion.

Roy, who was practicing the breathing method, was awakened by a slight knock at the door and the "Young Master Roy" that Red called softly.

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling deeply, feeling that his body was full of 386 filaments of fighting energy, and that he had become stronger, he nodded with satisfaction, and then got up and opened the door to let Red in.

"Uncle Red, what's going on?"

Roy poured a cup of tea for Red and motioned for him to sit down.

"Thank you, young master." Taking the teacup, Red didn't drink it, but said in a slightly excited tone: "There's new news!" ”

"An hour ago, Mr. Mira's convoy was attacked by an unknown witch."

"That's a witch who uses pitch-black energy."

"The movement caused by this attack was very large, and many pedestrians in the distance of the fighting site witnessed it firsthand."

"The marching knights we sent to follow the convoy immediately sent the news back through carrier pigeons, and it is estimated that many people will know the news soon."

Roy touched his chin, "Uncle Mila won, right?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Mira repelled the attacking witches." Reid was full of admiration and longing: "Mr. Mira's nickname is 'The Golden Lion', and he is quite a knight who can be praised as 'Golden' as a silver. ”

"The upper and lower limits of the witch's strength fluctuate greatly, the weak one is no more than bronze, and the strong one is not even an opponent of the Golden Knight, but normally speaking, the strength limit of the wandering witch is within the range of the Silver Knight, and there are few cases that exceed it."

"The kind of powerful witches who are not even opponents of the Golden Knight, each of them has a well-deserved title, and is also known as the 'Crowned Witch'."

"Sure enough......" Roy was not surprised by Mila's victory.

If even Mira, who is the captain of the Divine Punishment Knight, can't deal with an ordinary witch, then the name of the Divine Punishment Knight will not make the wandering witches fearful, and she is not worthy of becoming a sharp blade in the hands of the temple to scare the witches.

What made Roy even more concerned was that the people behind the scenes really had the news of other witches who needed high-purity magic crystals to improve their strength.

I just don't know, does this witch who uses pitch-black energy know the identity of the person behind the scenes?

"Uncle Red, it's inconvenient for me to show up right now, so please give this conch to Mr. Mira in person, so that no one can find out."

"Now I'm hiding in the shadows, so I don't have to worry about my safety."

Roy pulled out a large white conch from his bosom and handed it to Red, along with a letter with instructions for use.

"I see." Red nodded heavily.

Although he didn't know what this white conch was for, he didn't mean to ask more. Now the young master is not only terrifying in knightly talent, but also beyond his reach in terms of scheming and thinking.

Such a young master, even if the old lord is missing now, can let Red see the bright future of the family. Coupled with the young master's trust in him, in Red's mind, Young Master Roy is not just the son of the lord, but a truly qualified lord worthy of his service!

Red is gone, and as for how he secretly delivered the Transsonic Conch to Mira's hands, it's not something Roy worries about.

As a seasoned knight with the strength of a bronze two-star Raider, it is very easy to sneak up on it without being discovered.

Roy went back to the bed and sat down, continuing to practice breathing and condensing his fighting spirit.

The next plan needs to wait for him to communicate with Mira before he can really act, and before that, he doesn't want to miss any time to improve his strength.

About five hours later, in the middle of the day, Red finally returned.

After confirming that the Transsonic Conch had been delivered to Mira and that no one had been found in the process, Roy perked up, picked up another Transsonic Conch, and began to communicate with Mira.
