Chapter 3: Lost in the Darkness

Byron and his party returned to the hall, and at this time the dinner party was nearing its end, and everyone began to leave one after another, and many people were already drunk.

Roy was also drinking well tonight, and when he got up and was about to leave, he suddenly stumbled on his feet. Seeing that Roy was about to fall, Byron stepped forward in time to help him.

"My dear brother, whenever I am in danger, you are always there for me in time. Roy looked at Byron with a blank look.

"Bixia, this is my duty. After speaking, he helped the king to the side of the chamberlain, "You take care of the king Bixia, Bixia drank a little too much today." ”

"I'm going to hold on to my father, too. Joshua, the little prince, shouted.

"Our lovely prince Bixia. Geraint smiled at Joshua, "When you're as tall as the head of the regiment, you'll be able to lift up your father, our king, Bixia." ”

"Yes, I have to grow up quickly. Joshua pouted.

"Is it Geraint?" Roy staggered forward with the help of his chamberlain, he heard Geraint's voice, so he turned to Geraint and said, "Byron is busy with military affairs, and he always wants to protect my safety, I want to appoint you to be Joshua's sword instructor in the future, and teach him basic swordsmanship." ”

"Thank you Bixia, it's a great honor for me. Geraint put his right hand to his chest and knelt down on one knee, thanking Roy for his gift.

"Uncle Geraint, who is more powerful than you or Uncle Byron?" asked Joshua as he walked with the group.

"Of course, it's the head of the regiment. He is not only my superior, but also my mentor. I'm a long way from him. Geraint smiled in response to Joshua's question.

"Well, then I follow you, even if I learn all the skills, I still can't beat Uncle Byron! Joshua was slightly disappointed.

"Geraint is the best knight in our kingdom's younger generation, and Joshua must learn from him. You're only five years old now, don't always fantasize about things that don't matter. Roy turned to Joshua with a smile and said, "Otherwise, your mother and I will spank you." ”

"Bixia, I see that you really drank too much and said these things in public. The Queen reminded Roy from time to time.

Byron, on the other hand, searched for Parsa among the scattered crowds. He went to the seat where the Knights of the Five Dragons were located, and found that Roger and Parsa had left, and only Schroeder was drunk and snoring in his chair. His retinue tried to help him up, but due to Schroeder's heavy body and drunkenness, the retinue tried several times but failed to lift him up.

"You're really useless, how do you take care of my Schroeder?" At this moment, a childish voice came from the side of the seat, and a little girl with blond hair appeared in front of everyone's eyes. She also holds a stuffed bunny toy in her hand.

"Deputy Captain Erin, Lord Schroeder drank too much today, and we can't do anything about it!" the attendant responded.

"You useless things, Schroeder, wake up!" the little girl named Erin held out her index finger and tapped Schroeder's head. But Schroeder was still snoring.

This little girl named Erin actually dared to point at the head of the head of the dignified Red Dragon Knights in front of everyone, and the people in the hall who had not yet left showed surprised eyes when they saw this scene.

"I knew it would be like this every time he drank. Erin looked helplessly at Schroeder, who was lying asleep in her chair.

Next, Irene's actions shocked everyone present. I saw that she directly pulled Schroeder off the chair, and then easily carried him up, ready to leave the hall. Erin's petite body was able to carry such a huge person as Schroeder, which surprised Byron. It was also the first time he had witnessed the innate strange powers of the little girl adopted by Schroeder, and he finally understood why Schroeder dared to directly let Erin join the Red Dragon Knights. Originally, Schroeder's appointment was secretly ridiculed by the other knights, thinking that there was something wrong with his brain. But tonight, I believe many people will shut up after seeing this scene.

Due to the huge disparity in size between Erin and Schroeder, when she carried Schroeder forward, people could hardly see her figure, only seeing Schroeder's feet still dragging on the ground, and the sound of rubbing against the ground from time to time.

"I didn't expect this little girl adopted by Schroeder to have so much strength, it's incredible. Lana couldn't believe her eyes.

"I think that's in line with Schroeder's usual style. Kevin laughed.

"Alright, let's hurry up and find Parsa. Let him take a good look at what was going on with that Cerberus. Byron urged Lana, who was still watching Erin and Schroeder, to hurry up.

The trio did not find Parsa in the palace and returned to the palace porch.

"Parsa must have gone back to her lodgings. Kevin said.

"No way, I've ordered the guards to keep Parsa when they see him leave, and wait for us to pass. Byron replied.

"How do I feel the aura of darkness again?" Lana suddenly became alert.

"My lord, it's not good, it's not good!" At this time, a Byron Guard soldier ran towards this side, panting and said to everyone, "The body of the monster we were ordered to guard suddenly turned into black smoke and disappeared completely. ”

"It looks like things are getting more and more troublesome. Byron frowned.

Everyone returned to the back garden. As it was late at night, and it was pitch black in the garden, the soldiers of the Byron Guard lit up torches and used them as lights, and everyone was glued to the place where the body of Cerberus had laid. At this time, there was no trace on the ground, even the three heads that had been cut off by Byron and the dark red blood that flowed from the Cerberus had disappeared without a trace.

"Lord Byron, a few of us staring at the corpse of this terrible thing didn't leave for a single step. But just now, it was like a trick, a puff of black smoke came out, and then it disappeared in an instant. The soldier who had just reported to Byron described what had just happened.

"Lana, you just said you felt some darkness again?" Byron asked Lana beside her, "Do you have any new discoveries in the place where we are now?"

"My lord, the dark aura just now, with my perceptual ability, only captured for a moment. Now that we're here, I don't feel any darkness. Lana replied.

"The breath you felt just now may be someone using dark magic, and only dark magic can make a corpse disappear under a person's nose. Kevin thought for a moment and said.

"Looks like we should find Parsa as soon as possible, or the entire palace will need to be put on alert. Byron said.

"But where's Parsa?" muttered Kevin.

At this time, a guard suddenly came and reported that during the night patrol just now, he saw Parsa alone in a pavilion outside the garden, looking as if he was drunk, leaning against a pillar.

"Parsa doesn't usually drink, and he must have been drunk a lot by Schroeder and Roger tonight. Byron said, beckoning Lana and Kevin to go to the pavilion together.

Soon the crowd found Parsa in the pavilion. In the light of the fire, Parsa's misty eyes were faintly visible, and it seemed that he was not asleep.

Byron went up and patted Parsa on the shoulder: "Parsa, are you still awake?"

"Well, you're Byron, I read you right?" Parsa muffled her voice, "Either Roger and Schroeder, these two damn guys ......"

Parsa was holding on to the pillar beside her, trying to get herself to her feet.

"Your Excellency, I see you've drunk too much tonight. Byron hurriedly motioned for the guards around him to go over and help Parsa.

The guards hurriedly stepped forward to help Parsa up. At this moment, a strange smile flashed on the corner of Parsa's mouth.
