"Hey, have you heard? There are powerful ghost knights in Fort William, and yesterday the Haisha mercenary group was on a mission around there, and they saw the ghost knights appear on the cliff with their own eyes, if they hadn't run fast, they would probably have died there. ”

"How could I not have heard of it, I also heard that there were four mercenary groups whose original mission locations were near Fort William, and today they all took the initiative to give up their missions and did not dare to go over. ”

"That's right, that's the ghost knight with an immortal body, a powerful creature in the dark world, and I don't know how to get to this world, except that the Holy See has a way to fight them, we mercenaries are not opponents at all, it is said that an attack with a light attribute can really destroy the ghost knight, otherwise, even a great fighter can't kill it." ”

The tavern closest to the Mercenary Guild was full of news about the Ghost Knight.

"Ghost Knight, it's over, how do you explain it to your brothers when you go back......" Alfred frowned as he sat in the corner.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Natsuzo, biting down on his bread and looking up.

"Mistress Uta, you heard me, Ghost Knight, huh...... Once the mission fails, we can only wait half a year before we can accept the promotion mission again...... And, 10,000 gold coins, Mr. Uta, are you confident that you can defeat the Ghost Knight?" Alfred looked melancholy.

"What's that?" asked Natsuzo, biting his bread in a daze.

Alfred's hand immediately trembled, his heart was full of sorrow, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Uta, you don't know about the Ghost Knight?"

"Do I have to know?" Natsuzo shook his head. He had indeed read a lot of books, but he had not studied the creatures of the dark world. Maybe it was because it was useless to him, so he didn't read it, but he read a lot of books about the evil creatures of the earth.

"Ah!" Alfred sighed again, and said, "Let me first talk about the castle of William, which legend has said that in the Middle Ages, a nobleman named Basile William lived in that castle, along with his beautiful wife Angelina, and his two sons and a daughter. This nobleman, Basilai, was a well-known good man in the neighborhood at that time, who owned large fields and gave large sums of money to the poor almost every year. ”

This kind of charity lasted for ten years, and one day after ten years, someone suddenly noticed that it was very common to see the Basilai family, so some villagers went to check on it. Now the gates of the castle were wide open, and there were blood stains everywhere, and the corpses of guards and servants could be seen everywhere, and their dead appearance looked horrible, with their mouths open and their eyes still terrifying. But there are no scars on the whole body. ”

The villagers who had first gone in to check on him immediately ran out and informed the local magistrate at the time, Bruno, who sensed that something was wrong and ordered the soldiers and the villagers to stay outside and enter the castle alone. He soon came out of it again, claiming to have seen the bodies of the Basile family. And then...... It's crazy. ”

This incident was regarded as a curse at the time, some people were jealous of Basilla's fame, cursed him, people regarded Fort William as a bad place, and the surrounding villagers gradually moved out of it, and a month after the tragedy, some thieves infiltrated Fort Wilhelm and tried to steal something valuable, but the result was ...... He saw the evil spirit, and how he escaped, no one knows, but after that, the legends about Fort William grew, and the place became deserted. ”

After Alfred finished talking about the legend of Fort William, he raised his head and looked at Xia Zuo and continued: "Fort William has a history of more than eight hundred years now, even longer than the history of the Mercenary Guild, and since the establishment of the Mercenary Guild, the task of Fort William has not been interrupted, and there seems to be a steady stream of all kinds of evil spirits there, not only the evil spirits that already exist in this world, such as the White Skull, the Lifestealer, and the Screaming Banshee...... There are also evil creatures from the dark world, the two-headed demon, the three-headed dog of hell, and, the ghost knight. ”

"Ghost Rider, who looks like a guy riding a black flame horse, wearing tattered armor and a mask, Ghost Knight is immune to any physical attack, and when a cold weapon passes through its body, it seems to be inserted into water, and the Ghost Knight will turn into black smoke...... Every time they appear, they will be accompanied by a large number of ghosts, the last time William appeared strangely Ghost Knight, it was thirteen years ago, it was entrenched in William Fort for two years, before it was killed by the Holy Light Knight of the Holy See, only attacks with light attributes can hurt Ghost Knights, and ordinary Ghost Knights have the strength of intermediate big fighters, but most of the fighting professions, in the same realm as him, cannot kill it. ”

Alfred's tone grew deeper and lower, and he became less and less optimistic about this mission, even though Xia Zuo had already won the battle to help them.

"It's strange, why don't you destroy Castle William, since Castle William is the source of the birth of evil spirits and evil creatures, wouldn't destroying Castle William solve the trouble permanently?" Xia Zuo asked puzzled.

"The Mercenary Guild once issued an order to prohibit the destruction of William's strange attacks, the reason is that once William's castle is destroyed, there will be countless evil spirits coming out of there, for the disaster of the whole of Europe.6 When Napoleon the Great first came to power, he once mobilized an artillery regiment to completely destroy William's castle, but it was stopped, it is said that it was an order personally issued by the Council of the Fighting League, otherwise, no one could really stop him. Alfred said.

"Oh......" Xia Zuo nodded, indicating understanding, picked up the sausage and took a bite, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had already eaten at noon, but he didn't know why he was so hungry, so he brought up the tavern to eat.

"Mr. Uta, or ......" Alfred took a sip of wine, raised his head again, and said slightly drunk: "Otherwise, forget it, this mission has definitely been upgraded to a higher level, so our mercenary group can apply to give up and choose other missions as promotion missions instead, hey......"

Another sigh showed Alfred's full of worry, the task could be abandoned, but the bet, the mercenaries would not play word games with each other, of course he knew that the red hair said that the task to be completed in three days. It is this task, if abandoned. It's equivalent to a failed mission.

"Why give up? It's not for you to kill the Ghost Knight, what's there to be afraid of?" Xia Zuo said as he cried out for food.

"Look at the location of this mission is in Fort William, to go to the third underground floor to kill the three-headed dragon head demon, the possibility of encountering the ghost knight is very high, if it is really encountered, our entire mercenary group cannot be its opponent. ”

Alfred's strength is only in the middle of the martial arts range, and the leaders of the regiment are all of this strength, not to mention the members of the team below.

"Isn't there still me? You're worried about the 10,000 gold coins, aren't you? If we don't complete the task, I'll give you the 10,000 gold coins, okay?" Xia Zuo said with a smile as he ate, he felt that he could be said to be a profligate guy as long as he had money.

"This ...... How can this work?" Alfred was slightly agitated.

"The gambling contract was originally promised by me, and the responsibility lies with me, so rest assured. We're not going to fail. Xia Zuo said with a smile.

After eating at the tavern, in the afternoon he and Alfred returned to the port of Brest, Alfred went to gather all his men, and Shazo hurried back to the old sailor's tavern.

Pushing open the door of the guest room, Natsuzo looked left and right. I couldn't help frowning.

"Minibus, are you there?" shouted Xia Zuo, who didn't see the little devil.

"Master, I'm here!" Bard's voice rang out, sounding as if he hadn't woken up. Natsuzo walked over to the bed and saw the little devil coming out of the bag containing the golden treasure chest.

"Minibus. Ask you a question. Xia Zuo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to sit on the edge of the bed.

"What?" the little devil still looked very sleepy, with a pair of ears drooping and a weak look.

"Do you understand, Ghost Knight?" asked Natsuzo.

"Ghost Knight?" Bard suddenly came to his senses, jumped on Xia Zuo's shoulder, and asked excitedly, "The master has seen the Ghost Knight?"

"Not yet, but I should see you tomorrow, in the mountains more than a hundred kilometers away, I want to ask you, do the ghost knights have any weaknesses, how to kill them?" Xia Zuo asked.

"Weakness?" Bard tapped his little head, and soon looked very distressed, and said softly, "They are a group of difficult guys, it is difficult to kill them, where is the weakness? The Light Force has a hard time trying to kill them......"

"There is no weakness, isn't it......" Xia Zuo couldn't believe it, how could a creature without a weakness, even if it was a human, it also had a weakness under the thin defense, if a human had a strong body like a dragon, with the unlimited growth talent of humans, it would have completely wiped out a discordant creature in the world.

"Yes, the ghost knights are immune to physical attacks, their bodies can turn into smoke, and they also have extremely high resistance to elemental attacks, they don't have souls, or they are a huge soul in themselves, and they have a strong ability to dodge soul attacks, and weak soul attacks are directly immune, only light attribute attacks will cause them substantial damage, but this can't be called a weakness, the strength is lower than its storage zĂ i, even if you can use light attribute attacks, it is impossible to kill them, although they can't fly, but they can burrow into the ground or water...... It's really hard to kill!" Bud thought about breaking his head, and couldn't think of any real weaknesses in the Ghost Rider, so he could only conclude that it was difficult to kill.

"So strong, what level of creature does that Ghost Knight belong to in the Dark World?" Xia Zuo frowned and couldn't help asking.

"O low-level creatures, they are not very intelligent, they are all a bunch of fools who only know how to fight and kill, and they can't compare to us demons. When the little devil said this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.

It raised its head and looked at Xia Zuo again, the fingertips of its two little claws touched its chest, and it looked a little afraid to speak, looked at Xia Zuo with pitiful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Master, don't kill that fierce ghost knight, okay?" I know that the master is wise and martial must have a way to kill it, but the minibus wants a ghost rider as a pet, although they are stupid, but they are very obedient, the minibus has not met one here for decades, this time it is missed, and there may be no chance in the future. ”

"Master, why are you looking at the minibus like this, the minibus is so scared!" The little devil saw Xia Zuo suddenly looking at him blankly, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say more carefully.
