Before the dawn sun rises above the horizon, the knights of the Iron King have cleared the battlefield, and the nearby villages have returned to a peaceful, free, and cheerful atmosphere. There had been a battle last night, but this morning it was peaceful and quiet. Caravans come and go, and cart-pulling beasts slowly walk the trade routes, escorts and mercenaries protect themselves from robbers.

Kane sat alone on a boulder by the waterfall on the mountain, and he lowered his legs into the water, and the coolness of his feet climbed up his body and mind. The cool water soothed the mania of the arrival of blood magic, and last night he had absorbed a lot of the power of blood, and had found a terrible blood magic, which he named "Decay".

He tried to pour blood into the vibrant green tree, but after a while, the leaves began to fall off, the skin dried up, the green leaves turned yellow, and finally died. Splitting the trunk of the tree, the heart of the tree has decayed and blackened, destroying the biological structure from the inside out.

Kane was overjoyed to realize this powerful blood magic, but he was also worried that this powerful blood magic would bring more negative effects, such as the fire in his heart caused by blood magic. Manic negativity can affect his sanity, but his will is strong enough not to be eroded. Last night's had a lot of impact on him, and letting Virgin untie the knot in his heart. After Alinus brought back the news that Virgin had returned safely to Mullen, Kane let go of it.

Kane's behavior has been a bit strange lately, Neroth decides to ask Kane, some people say that Kane went up the mountain by himself, he went to the pavilion where Kane frequented, and he didn't see Kane, and then he looked around the neighborhood only to find Kane sitting on a stone by the waterfall.

"Why did you get here, I've been looking for you for a long time." Neroth climbed the gray boulder, and the smooth surface of the stone that had been eroded by water vapor for many years made him slippery, and he almost slipped off the stone and fell into the waterfall. Kane pulled him by the hand, and it was only then that he managed to climb up.

"The scenery here is good, and you can see most of the scenery of the entire Tieling." He propped his hands on his body, leaned back slightly, and looked at the scenery ahead.

"Is there something wrong?" Kane asked softly.

"Ha, it's not really true, it's just that you don't feel like you're in shape these days. About last night...."Neroth hesitated for a moment before he continued, "Wilkin ran away?" ”

He wanted to be more direct, but in the end he chose to use a questioning tone.

"As you think, I let him go. I can't do that - forget his kindness to me and give him to Gray. Gori, and then sent to the Iron King Fort to be tortured. ”

"I knew you weren't that kind of person, and you were right, at least in my opinion."

"But Gray. Gori may hold a grudge against you because of this, and you will block his chances of asking for credit. Danton's favorability and expectations for him have declined. This group of outlaws may be tired and want to find a strong backer to protect them and end their wanted life in hiding in Tibet. This is an opportunity, they have found Danton, you have ruined their plans, and they are resenting you at the moment. ”

"It doesn't matter, they're just a bunch of powerful bandits, I don't care what they think." Kane said in a dismissive tone.

"Always be careful not to take those who have ill will towards you too lightly, and sometimes they are your greatest threat." Nelus reminded him, "You still have to go into the palace together, it's a dangerous errand." ”

Kane understood what Nero meant, but he really didn't take Gray into account right now, and they weren't qualified enough. If they want to make a small move, Alinas will give them a ride.

"I know, really. Are you here to remind me of this, or is there something else important? ”

"Not for the time being, I just think you've been a little weird lately, so I want to know your status, the date of the banquet is approaching, and we're leaving tomorrow. Hopefully you'll be in shape before you go, that's all. "Neroth lay on the stone with his eyes to the sky.

Kane pulled his foot out of the water and jumped off the rock, "Since time is so short, I think I should prepare." ”

Kane walked down the mountain, and Neroth sat up and watched him descend.

Later in the evening, Danton sent someone to invite Kane and them to a dinner, which was much bigger than the last time, because many famous people from all over the world had come one after another in the past few days. Without exception, they are all people with combat power, and what Dandong wants is a warrior, the more the better, for his great cause.

The person who came to Iron King Castle this time in the black market was Gaius, this is what Frank meant, his relationship with Frank has warmed up very quickly recently, and I don't know what method he used to make Gaius convince him of the five bodies. This incident has impressed many people, and it is unbelievable that the two people who were still in conflict before can be so good.

In addition to the black market, Kane also saw unexpected people - the Kurt family, including many other families that Kane did not know. It turns out that Danton's confidence comes from here, and he has a lot of rebellion against the big families within the Harrence Dynasty, maybe William couldn't have imagined that Danton would do so many things under his nose.

At the party, everyone was seated, and the people from the big family were arranged at one table, Dandong's cronies were at the other table, and the rest of the merchants, knights, scholars, etc. formed a table. Knights, warriors, mages and other military forces fill the remaining seats on their own.

At the party, Dandong made a lot of bold words and gave a lot of promises, which were nothing more than some encouraging words. Kane didn't care what they said, because Harans' future was out of his mind.

The food was served to the table by the servants, and wine, wine, ale, and dark beer were all packed in large, heavy oak wood, which was also infested with precious wood, in order to enhance the mellow taste of the wine.

The female mage that Kane had noticed before was sitting across from Kane, and she raised her glass to Kane. Kane responded to her with a glass of wine, and then the atmosphere at the table gradually became lively, everyone was chatting and drinking with each other, and the noise made Aruno protest, he didn't like so many people shouting in his ear. Because these people all have evil intentions and have their own plans.

While Kane was busy looking for a quiet place to drink, he happened to run into an acquaintance, Haynie. She was dressed beautifully tonight, and a low-cut purple dress attracted a lot of people's attention. Wavy curls add a lot of charm and make many people's eyes shine.

Many aristocratic children even made no secret of the love in their eyes, saying that love was actually just a nice statement, and that gaze was eager to eat her, in Kane's opinion, this was simply hypocrisy.

And Hennie naturally knows who they are and for what purpose, so she doesn't plan to entangle with them too much. Just as she was agonizing over how to get rid of these annoying spirits, she saw Kane.

So she suddenly thought of a good idea and asked Kane to help her get rid of them, after all, she had helped Kane, and he wouldn't stand idly by if he was in trouble. With that in mind, she approached Kane.

"Mr. Kane, we're meeting again." Haynie greeted Kane first, acting as if she had met an old acquaintance. Kane turned his head and saw Hennie and a group of young nobles following her.

The nobles behind her stopped when they saw the handsome Kane. If they saw a small aristocracy, maybe they wouldn't have paid attention to it at all, but Kane didn't look like an aristocratic dress. He looked like a knight on the battlefield, and although Kane didn't have his Demon Sealing Sword on his back, the scar on his face that was visible to the Blood Demon had a murderous aura.

The scar managed to scare them. But only some people can be frightened, there are always some noble children with good family backgrounds who don't take knights like Kane seriously. They had seen many knights, and there were many of them in the family, and in their eyes, knights were merely servants on their quest, so what was there to fear?

Bill. Tang Qi was one of these nobles, and he pushed away the group of cowardly nobles in front of him, and walked straight to Hennie and the others with two glasses of wine in his hand. He also greeted Hennie warmly.

"Hey, Miss Hennie, I think we should have another drink, a toast to your beauty." Bill. Tang Qi had yellow hair, he came to Hennie, ignored Kane, and handed Hennie a glass of wine in his hand.

Then he glanced defiantly at Kane as if he had sworn sovereignty

Kane, who was ignored, was not angry, he stood by and said nothing, as if he didn't care about himself.

"I'm sorry, Bill. Mr. Donch, I have friends here, and I want to talk to my friends for a while. Her pretty eyes looked at Kane with a smile. In her sly gaze, Kane smelled of conspiracy.

Rejected Bill. Donkey turned his head, glanced at Kane, and then ignored Kane again. Because he couldn't see anything special about Kane from Kane's outfit, except for that good-looking face. He continued to pester, and the posture seemed as if Hennie would continue to pester.

Kane could see that Heinie seemed to be using him as a gun, and he naturally didn't want to get involved in these frivolous things. Before the brain-dead Bill noticed, the trouble wouldn't have come to the door, Kane thought. Although he was not afraid of the ridiculous aristocracy, it would be annoying to be pestered by these guys.

When Heinie saw that Kane wanted to leave, she naturally couldn't let Kane succeed. She walked forward quickly and grabbed Kane's arm, and her demeanor became intimate. She put her face to Kane's ear and whispered, "Mr. Kane, I helped you once last time, so you can't just walk away this time." The guy who helped me get rid of that prisoner. ”

When Bill saw this scene, he thought that Kane and Haynie were lovers, and of course the people next to him felt the same, and their eyes were full of ridicule when they looked at Bill. It is a very interesting thing that a nobleman from the earl's family was humiliated in public by a knight. And as the heir of the Count Donch family, how can Bill be so angry, he wants to get face back.

He asked Kane, "Sir, I wonder what your relationship is with Miss Haynie?" ”

"Friends who don't know each other well, it should be right to say that, right?" Kane turned to ask Heinie.

Kane, who wanted to defeat Hennie's plot in this way, didn't expect Hennie to use a trick even more ruthlessly, she kissed Kane on the cheek, and then her red lips opened lightly, and she responded in a mischievous tone: "What do you say? ”

The conversation between the two seemed to Bill to be a mockery of him, and his anger was on the verge of rage. As the heir of the earl, when has he ever been tricked like this by a knight!
