Time flies.

When Roy opened his eyes again, there was a knock on the door and Red's low, deep and respectful voice: "Lord Roy, are you awake?" ”

"Sorry to disturb your rest."

"The Pungyang Celebration will start at 6 p.m. tomorrow night, and there are some more important matters for you to finalize."

in the room.

"Hoo ......"

With a long exhalation, Roy stopped the "Burst Flame Breathing Method" practice between his mouth and nose, feeling the stronger fighting qi in his body, reaching 3.44 Dao, and his stronger and stronger physique, his eyes showed a satisfied look.

"Uncle Red, you can wait for me in the hall first, I will go over when I have some things to deal with."

"Okay, Lord Roy." Outside the door, Red's response was heard, followed by the sound of footsteps fading away.

Roy stood up and looked at the clock in the corner of the room.

It's close to 11 a.m.

If you are not sure about some matters, I am afraid that you will not have time to prepare.

No wonder Red came and called the door.

Shaking his head, Roy turned his gaze to the side of the bed.

The bedding on the bed had been folded, and Lilia, the shadow witch, stood beside the bed and owed to Roy, "Good afternoon, Lord Roy." ”

The tight-fitting black leather coat outlines the girl's slender and slender figure, which forms a sharp contrast with the pale complexion.

"How's the rest, Lilia?" Roy said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, my body and mind have returned to their best." Lilia said softly: "Lord Roy, during your rest, Ah Da and they monitored the border of the Blackstone Territory, and did not find any suspicious outsiders stepping into the Blackstone Territory, and the 'Blood Fortress' Robert, who was stationed on the border of the Blackstone Territory and the Green Domain, was also missing. ”

"But ......"

"When the three of them flew near the Star Lake, they all expressed obvious fear and panic to me, and the more time passed, the stronger this emotion became."

"Star Lake ......" Roy had a smile on his face, and his eyes became calm.

Beneath the Star Lake, there is a [Pride Demon Source] magic item hidden, and if they want to take it out, they must wait for Ace, the Ice Witch who has broken through to the "crown position", to recover from her injuries.

After calculating the time, it would be another 14 hours before Ace finished disposing of the residual natural magic in her body.

After knowing the "delicate" confrontation between the second prince and the border duke, Roy had already judged that the probability of the second prince taking action against him before the actual attack, that is, the arrival of the Fengyang Festival, was very low.

But he must not wait stupidly for the second prince to make a move on him.

That's too passive.

Objectively and rationally speaking, even if he already has the "crown" strength of the Ice Witch Ace on his side, whether it is the second prince of the empire or the border duke, it is not what the current Blackstone Leader is capable of fighting against.

It is true that the strength of the crown witch is incomparable to that of the average golden knight, but who can guarantee that the golden rank is the highest combat power on the side of the second prince and the border duke?

What's more, Ace has just broken through to the "crown position", and she is still a wandering witch, she will not make a move, and once she makes a move, she will inevitably leave all the witnesses behind. If the news of her existence leaked and the reappearance of the Crowned Witch would stimulate the temple to make such crazy moves, Roy couldn't even imagine.

Therefore, it is very irrational to confront the two major forces head-on.

The only chance to break the game at the moment is the [Arrogance Demon Source] magic item with unknown function under the Star Lake.

Roy didn't know what the specific effect of that thing was, but it must be extremely important for the second prince and the border duke to fight like this.

As a "fish in the pond" that was "affected", as long as Roy holds this magic item in his hands in advance, he will have more choices whether to advance or retreat when the time comes.

As for the question of how the two forces doubted how he was capable of penetrating into Star Lake...... Wouldn't that be better?

In the cognition of the forces of both sides, if you want to go deep into the Star Lake, you must also have gold-level combat power, and if he can obtain the [Arrogance Demon Source] magic power item, doesn't it also reveal the fact that the Black Stone Collar has gold-level combat power from the side?

As long as this gold-level combat power does not show up, to a certain extent, it is also an invisible deterrent.

It is true that the second prince and the border duke are high and powerful, but they don't have relatives? Isn't there anyone who cares?

It is a terrible thing to completely offend a golden knight who doesn't care about anything.

Once this golden knight deliberately hides and carries out assassination and other activities, even the stronger knights will find him, it will be almost impossible

No one wants to take that risk.

Even the top echelons of the empire like the second prince and the border duke would not be willing.

The Golden Knight is not a cabbage, but an absolute powerhouse among knights.

Bronze, silver, gold.

As a knight who has reached the third step of the transcendent path, the strength of the Golden Knight is far from being comparable to that of silver, and a knight of this level is said to have the terrifying power to change the local terrain.

Although he still has a human form, he can no longer be regarded as a "human".

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Roy settled down, looked at Lilia who was standing quietly on the side, and said: "Lilia, let the three of them continue to keep watch, from now until the day of the Harvest Festival, it is the most critical time, and I can only trouble the three of them to work harder." ”

"If there's anything unusual, let me know as soon as possible."

"I'm going to check on Miss Ace."

"Understood." Lilia nodded.

As a contractor, she is able to share her vision directly with the three Shadow Ravens, and does not need to observe them through the "black and white projections" constructed by the magic of shadows like Roy did.

Looking at Roy who pushed the door out, Lilia's mind moved, and her figure disappeared in an instant, blending into the shadows under Roy's feet.

……

Rafa Province, located in the southernmost part of the empire, is also the border province between the Glow Empire and the Kolai Empire.

A magnificent wall built on the mountain range, called the "Wall of Stone", shattered the ambition of the Kolai Empire to go north again and again.

Countless blood and corpses forged the supreme declaration of the Frontier Duke who guarded this place.

The name of the "Duke of Blood", Bretton Soros, has terrified countless knights of the Kolai Empire!

At this moment, on the top floor of a fortress above the "Wall of Solid Stone", in a hall with a rough and primitive decoration style, the candlelight was beating, and a burly figure sat upright on an obsidian seat, staring at the young man who was half-kneeling on the ground below, with a face somewhat similar to his.

"Anoke, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

The half-kneeling young man lowered his head, but his voice did not waver at all: "Father, no, Lord Duke, I know very well. ”

"I will bear all the consequences of my choice."

“……”

The figure in the seat seemed to want to say something, but in the end, it just let out a long sigh.

"Blackstone Collar...... Star Lake ...... O Sealed Land......"
