"Hunter Knights on Varga, the prohibition of hunters from moving freely in the territory has been abolished, and besides, the outside of the circle is not my territory, if there is any action, you don't need to apply to me for approval, but the outside of the circle is dangerous, the demons are raging, all soldiers should pay attention to safety. ”

King Gun Garner Atollis sat on the throne of the round table and looked down on the two people in the palace, and he was only equal to the knights when he sat at the round table, and above the throne, there was only one royal family of Atolis. The round table and the throne are two separate words, and the days when Atolis stood on the throne were more than eight hundred years old.

Hoigre Varga and Diana No, dressed in the lowest mage robes, walked past the ministers one by one, stood in the center of the main hall, put their right fists on their chests, and performed a knightly greeting ceremony, "Your Majesty the King, Varga is coming, and by the way he is visiting an old friend." ”

"I don't know if it's that old friend, is it going to the palace again?"

Gong Garner wasn't very old, but he had shaggy curly hair and a curly beard that made him look more than twenty years old.

Hoygray did not say who it was, but continued, "I have brought some gifts to Your Majesty and am already waiting outside the palace. ”

"Bring it in. ”

At Hoigrey's signal, a hundred warriors brought in twenty-five wooden boxes and twenty-five clay altars, and everyone at this time began to discuss, and some even frowned, showing disdain.

The samurai opened a wooden box, which turned out to be a box of steel swords forged and streamlined, and the samurai opened another clay altar, and suddenly the hall was enveloped in a strong smell of alcohol.

Some of the newly appointed ministers changed their faces, this was the etiquette of hunters hundreds of years ago, but these people did not know that these etiquettes had been used for hundreds of years, and since the hunters' actions were restricted by the regulations, these etiquettes were not known to outsiders.

"Happy New Year to His Majesty. ”

At this time, Ghana stepped down from his throne and gathered around the wooden crates, "Could these be the hundred steel swords made by the master forger Alberk?"

He walked up to the mud altar and sniffed with his round nose, "Could these be the strongest ice sources in the whole world?"

"I don't dare to guarantee that everything is from Alberke, and I don't dare to be the number one spirit in the world. Hoy Gray said.

"If you have time, after visiting your friends, you can come to my garden, and I have a gift for you." ”

Hoygray bowed in thanks.

When he turned, he glanced at the main hall by the way, and Duke Simon Bergru was standing under a pillar of the stone steps, looking at him with a smile, and Hoygray only swept his gaze lightly, and walked out of the palace.

Walking out of the palace and turning the stone staircase on the right, Archmage Wari Egwen suddenly appeared in front of them, his staff inlaid with twelve beads, each of which exuded the fluctuation of order of different laws, and Diana could sense the power of these fluctuations.

The archmage, dressed in his shabby but elegant coarse cloth robes, suddenly appeared again, not as if he happened to pass by.

"Archmage. Hoygray bowed slightly, and out of respect for the elder, Daiyana, who was following behind, also bowed slightly.

"Hoigre Varga, are you still planning to go outside the circle this year?"

Master Egwen's large, pointed hat completely obscured his face, and his voice sounded hoarse, like a pedantic old man.

"I have a friend who is still outside. That's all Hoygray said.

"Don't you know where you are now, His Majesty has no intention of aiding you, and this is a dangerous journey. ”

"We'll be careful. Hoygray expressed his gratitude, and politely passed by the archmage, like a simple goodbye after someone who did not know each other and was not a stranger.

Egwene didn't get in their way, but he didn't happen to pass by either.

"If you can, don't go back to the palace gardens after visiting friends, I have recently sensed some strange fluctuations in order coming from there. ”

After walking through this, Archmage Egwene said.

Hoygray paused slightly, then continued on his way.

After that, Hoigre asked, "Did you notice anything unusual in the garden that the archmage said?"

Dai Yana shook her head, "The interval is too far, the map indicates that there is a distance of about one mile from the palace to the garden, and there are barriers on the walls of the palace, and some laws of order cannot be penetrated. ”

"Do you think we should go to His Majesty Attolis?" asked Hoiglay.

"If you can get close to the garden, you may be able to detect the movement that the archmage said, but if you go, you may also be able to lead the hunter into the abyss," said Diana. ”

Hoygray said: "Our feet have entered the abyss, this is a checkmate game, if we go, we may be able to find a clue." ”

"That's right. Hoygray suddenly asked, "Did you feel anything strange in the temple just now?" ”

"What's strange?"

"It's been almost twelve years since I took over as the leader of the hunters, and over the years, every time it's 'Chinese New Year's Eve', I have brought something as a gift, sometimes local specialties we bought along the way, sometimes gold wound medicine made by our hunters themselves, and sometimes I order swords from the smiths.

Four times in twelve years I have given gifts of the sword I ordered from Alberk and the ice wine made by our hunters himself, and on all four occasions His Majesty Atollis has said the same thing. ”

"Is there anything wrong with that?" said Diana, thinking as she thought about it, but did not think of an answer, "it is a sign that humans are satisfied with the gift. ”

Hoigre said, "And I keep saying the same thing?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, etiquette is a repetitive action," Diana said. ”

Hoygray felt that over the years, Atollis had been saying the same thing, repeating the exact same movements, and he had been answering the same words, with the same movements. Strictly speaking, this is not courtesy, but politeness. The host is polite to the guest with a gift, and the guest is polite to the host's compliment.

Hoygray has a good memory, and as the leader of the "Xinyu" intelligence department, he doesn't use units to classify countless intelligence creeds, he can remember them clearly, and he remembers everything that happened in which year, month, and day.

But this time, he felt that he had misremembered, otherwise some things really didn't make sense.

Walked out of the palace area and stopped in front of a stone platform full of cracks. The stone platform is a large square platform, which was originally part of the royal palace area, but they abandoned it ten years ago. At this moment, the moat between the outermost palace walls has become the residence of the homeless.

Hoigre told the warriors to go back first, and from the moat was the street, from where some of the commotion could be heard.

He and Diana walked to the west side of the uninhabited stone road, where there were several knight families, and the knights' hall was also there. The most forested area is a mass grave, because it is unattended and close to the aristocratic area, and after some people die, superstitious families secretly bury them there at night, hoping that future generations will become rich.

But they don't know that it's not because of superstition, but because there's a force of law in the dark that influences their thinking.

The Knight's Hall is a kind of palace, a palace dedicated to the Heroic Spirits, where the Heroic Spirits of the Knights live forever. The Knights' Hall is guarded by the Bergru family, one of the oldest knightly families, who hold the order of a law of death, which is said to have an ability to talk to spirits, so they guard the Knights' Palace.

The current patriarch of the Bergru family is Grand Duke Simon Bergru, but he doesn't seem to be at home, which saves some trouble.

The Knights' Hall was separated from the perimeter by a mile, and they had set up a simple barbed parapet on the perimeter, surrounded by three teams of knights in addition to the twelve Guard's Pavilions, and Hoygray and Diana were stopped as soon as they appeared.

Turning around, Simon Bergru, who was dressed in a black leather coat, said: "Captain Varga, I haven't seen you for a long time, it turns out that the friend you said you want to visit is not me!"

"We've just met, it's time to meet some other friends. Hoygray said lightly.

Hunter Academy, Medical Clinic, Block C.

The "patients" who live here are no ordinary patients, they are dead apostles who are about to fall into or have already gone insane, and their blood is also capable of corroding the metal of humans, just like those of alien creatures.

Beyond the thick stone walls, the dull sound of smashing iron could still be heard, apparently the Dead Apostles in a state of madness breaking free again, of course, most of the sound came from the window along the air, not from next door or further away.

Mu Linlin's face was a little ugly, "If I become like that, let's kill me." ”

"Look, are you talking about human words?" Lin An said without saying human words, "Of course, I tied you up with a composite rope, if you grow teeth that bite people, the fourth brother will have pliers to pull it out, and if you grow poisonous claws, soak them with sodium hypochlorite first, and then I will consider whether to wear gloves and use the fourth brother's saw to see it off." ”

"Fifth brother, you said yours, don't take me with you. Gradually, Yu Sheng stood behind several people, and his tone became more reasonable.

Mu Linlin's face turned blue, but this time she didn't fight, but she was afraid of everyone for a while.

She finally sighed and muttered, "Who could that person be?"

Mu Linlin just told them what happened afterward, focusing on the person who saved her. But she only saw a figure, and the light was dim, and although the oil lamp that fell to the ground was burning, it was too far away from the man, and the strange darkness in the stone chamber seemed to swallow up the ordinary firelight in turn, and she couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman, and she didn't look for any features in the man, the man was deliberately trying to hide himself.

This only says one thing......

"It's over, it's over. Seeing Mu Linlin start to stupefied herself, Lin An added fuel and vinegar to the side, "Third sister, this is going to make a rhythm with her body." ”

"Handsome people are good, don't say anything, don't think about it. Mu Linlin said with a realistic face, "Forget it if you look ugly." ”

"You said Oga said he was a traitor?" Shang Yun asked.

"Yes, maybe it's a spy arranged by an unknown hostile force. Mu Linlin said, "But why do you want to help me? Is it some of my admirers?"

"It doesn't seem unreasonable, but at least we including the boss can rule it out. Shang Yun said.

"Don't you ask him what weapon he used?" asked Mu Linlin.

"Some masters can use different weapons to cover up or even fake their identities. Zhuxing said in a master's demeanor, and then he asked, "What kind of weapon did he use?"

"It's a double-headed knife with two handles joined together. ”

Zhuxing was stunned for a moment, "He neither concealed his identity nor forged his identity, but used this weapon in the first place." ”

"How can you be sure?" asked Mu Linlin.

"In that case, it's like a person who goes to the battlefield and uses a kitchen knife, and of course he will continue to use the kitchen knife. Zhu Xing already felt very uncomfortable without bringing his fan today, and there was nowhere to put his hands, so he pulled out his sequence knife, and then reached out and pulled out Shang Yun's knife, and the two knives were butt together. He said, "The Soldiers of the Sequence don't have this kind of inlay, and we don't have this kind of inlay in our arsenal, and there is no such inlay in the entire academy, just two ordinary iron swords. ”

Shang Yun leaned sideways and said, "Just talk, don't use a knife to dangle around, put it away, fourth, change a fan for the second." ”

"No, no. Zhuxing coughed, put away the knife, and said: "Let's make a hypothesis now, assuming that this person usually travels with a fake identity, hides deeply, and can control the double-headed knife, as we all know, the double-headed knife is a knife that can cut off the user's scalp if you are not careful, and the rookie pretends to be a must-have, and the master kills people." ”
