Lord Helanza

The inner courtyard of Christie Castle is surrounded by an almost integrated round arched stone pillar cloister. The bluestone polished floor is covered with a wool carpet, which can accommodate hundreds of people dancing at the same time. Many nobles gathered here, and the waiters shuttled around the field with a variety of exquisite food and wine, and the scented barbecue was placed on the barbecue grill at the edge of the square.

A group of ladies are standing next to the dance floor, and from time to time there will be gentle men coming over and asking them to dance together. The long skirts on the dance floor are like blooming lilies. flower.

"Bird, what are you looking at?"

The friend stood beside the tax officer byrd with a wine glass, and asked him curiously.

"No, it's nothing..." The Tax Officer Bird looked back a little disappointed, raised his glass and said to his friend.

He was actually waiting for Miss Hoyle, but after coming to Christie’s castle for so long, Miss Hoyle never came out of the castle, but it was Miss Darcy and Marianna Christie. Chatting on the terrace upstairs made him more or less disappointed. He shouldn’t have such a bad idea, but since the last time I saw Miss Hoyle in leather on the autumn hunting ground, Bird seemed to feel himself Ushered in the second spring.

It didn't take long for Marquis Bernard Christie and his two ladies to also appear in front of the terrace on the second floor, toasting to the nobles downstairs.

……

On the second floor of the castle, Dassy Christie is standing behind the stone pillar, with his left hand resting on the elbow of his right arm, and squinting at Marg coldly. Mrs. Lit Christie.

The lady steward and the two maids stood beside Mrs. Christine. The two of the giving tit for tat almost made the atmosphere freeze, making the maids around feel almost suffocated. Lou The hustle and bustle of the dance floor does not seem to be a world here.

Marquis Bernard Christie rubbed his forehead in pain, and confronted the two women in front of him. He and his wife didn't know who to persuade first.

One is his precious daughter, the other is his younger sister, neither of the two women will give in. Soothing music came from downstairs, and Bernard wanted to go downstairs to greet the guests who came to the party, but this scene made him a little headache.

"He has a family." Mrs. Margaret Christie stared at her niece and said with a serious face.

Daxi was extremely angry in her heart. It was her freedom to make friends, but now even this freedom has to be taken away, she can only lift the head and watch the dome silently roll the eyes.

"Which family lady is his wife?" Marquis Bernard asked. He rarely cares about this kind of thing, but now it seems that if he doesn't interfere, the two women in front of him say Maybe it will really fight.

"I heard it was a civilian?" Mrs. Christie asked.

Daxi Christie said: "What does that matter? Don’t you also think his character and talents are very good?"

"Daxi, you should listen carefully Your aunt's opinion." Marquis Bernard frowned reminded his daughter, and he turned to Dassy and said, "However, what I am more concerned about is...what do you think, Dassy?"

What can Darcy Christie think? Her idea at the beginning was very simple, that is, she wanted to find a male partner to cope with the party and let the ladies who were panicking all day shut their mouths.

But now Surdak has been noticed by Bernard. Dassy is a little worried about how this matter will end in the future. She thought that she should reveal some information to Bernard, so she said, "I don't know. He didn't seem to have any thoughts about me. He had rejected Hathaway before."

Daxi decided to push the problem to Surdak.

"Hathaway, a friend you met in Pena?" Marquis Bernard asked.

"en!" said Darcy Christie: "In fact, Hathaway knows him better."

"Can you tell me about his origin? Don't Tell me you don't know much about him!" Marquis Bernard asked, staring at his woman.

Daxi Christie is shrugged, saying that she really doesn't know much about it.

The Marquis Bernard took two deep breaths, reduced the pressure of the fire in his heart, turned his head and asked the younger sister Mrs. Christie: "Margaret, you and that... Surdak Knight Familiar?"

Mrs. Kristi could see that Bernard was suffocated. She was still in awe of this majestic big brother since she was a child, and she sipped it. One lips whispered and replied: "He is Carl's friend, and Carl knows him better."

"Go and bring Carl Casement over." The Marquis of Bernard said to Steward beside him. instructed.

Before the female steward walked downstairs, she heard the noise from outside the castle, and guards all around rushed to the outside of the hall.

……

Surdak felt that he shouldn't have agreed to Darcy Christie's request.

It was simply a wrong decision to run out of the Academy to participate in this dance. After entering this castle, I got into various troubles.

Surdak really wants to say something swearing to vent the depression in his heart.

Ivan Baruka shouted angrily at Surdak, which really frightened Miss Hoyle.

She looked at the young and humble Knight with a surprised look. At this moment, his eyes showed greed and evil. Miss Hoyle wanted to call the guards in the castle, but Finding that her body was frozen and stiff, she was actually bound in place by a shadow, and she looked at Ivan Baruka with horror on her face.

Ivan Baruch smiled slyly at her, but stared at Surdak firmly. He took out the saber around waist and walked over without worrying about being seen by the people around him.

Miss Hoyle found that she couldn't even make a call for help, and her heart fell to the bottom in an instant, which reminded her of the robbery at Hoyle Manor.

At this time, Ivan Baruch has another idea.

What made him extremely angry was that Surdak didn’t know what he said to Hoyle. Before the conspiracy was revealed, Miss Hoyle’s attitude towards him had become extremely cold, if it weren’t for him. I also kept a hand, and now the one standing in the castle hiding his face and crying, I'm afraid it should be him.

Ivan Baruch looked at Surdak coldly, with the western rapier in his hand pointed at his chest.

A few days ago, Ivan Baruch tried Surdak in the Knight Academy sword hall. Surdak said that he was just a beginner in the sword technique. Ivan Baruch was skeptical about this. Yes, but Ivan Baruch later confirmed to Dassy Christie that Dassy Christie is an upright girl. Although her temper and patience are not very good, she never lies. Therefore, Ivan It is believed that Surdak should be an early scholar in the sword technique.

Just yesterday, when Ivan Baruch mentioned this to Samoa, Samoa even thought he was lying.

Because this guy named Surdak not only escaped from Assassin, but was even related to the death of a black magician, she didn't think that Darcy Christie was capable of killing the black magician Cyrus. Hickok, and apparently that night, that Assassin successfully sneaked into the hotel, but failed to kill Surdak. Samoa guessed that Surdak must be somewhat capable.

Of course, Samoa didn’t know the details of the night of the assassination. She guessed that Carl found some clues and set up a trap in the hotel, waiting for the Assassin walking right into a trap. That's why Assassin died in the hands of Knight, the guard battalion construct.

As for the battle that took place in Glenfield Manor, she was still hiding in Helanza at the time, and she didn't know the specifics at all.

Even if she knew a little bit of news about Surdak, she would not act so hastily. These two Assassins are the last bit of power in the Black Magic Priory lurking in Helanza, two Assassins. From the shadows, they showed their figures a little bit. They bound Miss Hoyle and Surdak with the'Shadow Binding'. Ivan Baruch walked in front of Surdak without any hesitation and pierced Surdak's heart with a sword.

Just when Ivan’s rapier was about to stab Surdak, Surdak’s body suddenly emitted pale-gold rays of light, and the shadow bands entwined with him disappeared, and Surdak dodges. Ivan would kill a sword, clasp Ivan’s wrist, swung out the Palm Blade and slashed on Ivan’s elbow, saw Ivan’s arm bend in the opposite direction, and under the severe pain, Ivan groaned, worried When the guard came to the castle, he forcibly held the scream in his throat.

Samoya stared at Surdak with big clear eyes, and stabbed the dagger with both hands at the same time, but Surdak had already pulled out a dwarf chain shield at this time, blocking her body tightly, which made her worry the most. The scene actually happened, and Surdak was not as simple as expected.

"Don't stand there anymore, get rid of him quickly!" Samoa ordered the two Assassins in the shadows.

"Samoya, this is the second time your intelligence is wrong!" The shadow in the shadow said in a hoarse voice. While speaking, his shadow actually appeared out of thin air behind Surdak, Before Surdak could react, a dim dagger pierced into Surdak's heart.

The sense of crisis hits his mind, like a cold sea tide rushing to his body. Surdak can’t avoid this blade in his heart, so he can only forcibly take a half step to the right and remove half of it. Position, let the mortal knife pierce the arm, Surdak swung the craftsman’s sword backwards without the slightest hesitation, but the black shadow was as flexible as a piece of paper, and the body was instantly folded in half. Dodging Surdak with a sword, followed by stabbing Surdak with another knife in the leg.

The brand new salamander leather armor was pierced by two blood holes in an instant, Surdak has nothing to keep, a double-sided four-armed god and demon statue illusory shadow appeared behind him, Surdak simply I don’t care about the blood hole in the leg, the knee meets the Assassin, and it is strong enough to touch his collarbone, only to hear the “ka-cha”, the Assassin’s collarbone was broken by Surdak’s “knee bump”. .

Before he backed away, Surdak waved his shield and hit Assassin’s head, as if he had just stabbed a sword in his arm and calf, and his movements did not change at all. , And regardless of Samoa’s attack next to him, with his brand new salamander leather armor, Samoa’s double dagger only cut two wounds on Surdak’s back. The first Assassin was lying on the ground and fainted. .

Ivan Barucha dragged a broken arm and stared at Surdak with a pale face. He had never thought that Surdak was playing in an injury-for-injury style, simply not avoiding those attacks, he The craftsman's sword like a black four-sided iron rod in his hand slashed towards Samoa, and Samoa had no time to escape, so he could only hold up a double dagger to hold the craftsman's sword in Surdak's hand. The blade of the dagger was instantly broken by the heavy craftsman's sword.

Surdak lifted a kick on Samoa’s soft belly, kicked her out, hit the stone wall of the castle, and made a bang.

"He is at least a mid-turn shield warrior, Samoa, you stupid fellow." Assassin, who controls Miss Hoyle, yelled at Samoa angrily. After he finished speaking, he Flashing out of the shadow, he did not approach Surdak at all, but directly picked up his companion and hid in the shadow by the castle wall again.

Samoya struggling to get up from the wall, seeing Surdak rush up, and instantly unfold a magic scroll, a fireball shot out from the scroll, Surdak raised the shield to block, and Fireball was in Surdak. The shield exploded.

"Hurry up, it's too late!" Only the blurred voice of Assassin behind was left in the shadows.

Samoya was also coldly snorted, and her body melted into the darkness little by little like ink and disappeared. When Surdak chased to the wall, only half of the magic scroll was torn off on the ground, and after a fight on the ground The blood stains left, even Samoa disappeared.

Ivan Baruch dragged his broken arm around behind Miss Hoyle in the chaos, strangled Hoyle’s neck with a strong arm, and tried to think Dragging Miss Hoyle to run outside the castle, but the sound of fighting has already attracted the guards in the castle. When these castle guards saw Miss Hoyle being hijacked, they immediately blew the warning whistle.

In an instant, the castle boiled, and two magicians riding on magic handlebars even flew out from the tower.

A'low-light illumination technique' lit up from the top of Ivan Baruch's head, illuminating this area completely, and at least twenty castle guards surrounded Ivan Baruch. Live, just because Miss Hoyle was held in her arms by Ivan Baruch, these castle guards refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases and dare not act rashly.

Behind the wall above the castle, a group of archers pulled their bowstrings one after another, and Ivan Baruch looked at all around the castle guards all around with grief and despair in his eyes.

Surdak ignored the desperate Ivan Baruch. His saber had already fallen to the ground, and only one hand was left to move. He had nothing to do with Miss Hoyle. threat.

Miss Hoyle seems to have calmed down at this time, she did not have any struggling behavior, she was a little breathless by Ivan Baruch, she looked up at Ivan Baruch, at this moment he even asked: "Ivan, have you ever loved me?"

"Love you, no...how can I love you!" Ivan Baruch was in a panic and unobstructed, he begged the castle guards with a weeping face: "Let me go, they forced me, it's their fault, they want me to get close to you, and listen to you. There is a secret, but you never want to talk about the past, I can't ask anything, they want to sneak in while holding the dance party and steal you away... This is not my will, I am forced ...Let me go!"

The last flame of hope that ignited in Miss Hoyle's eyes was extinguished.

She was holding Ivan Baruch’s arm with both hands, and suddenly bending over, she gave Ivan a shoulder fall and made Ivan, who had broken one arm, lay on her back. On the ground, all around the castle guards rushed out and used lance in his hand to fork Ivan Baruch to the ground.
