Snap!
"Sir, are you okay!" When shouts came from all over the castle, Lilia, as the nearest person, opened the door directly the next moment.
Although this personal maid has no martial arts value, she has a heart dedicated to her lord.
"I'm fine!" Nalant could no longer see Catherine's figure outside the window, so Nalant withdrew his gaze and said, "Lilia, go and ask Rose to prepare a midnight snack!"
After such a sudden incident, Nalant's sleepiness had dissipated.
"Yes, sir!"
Lilia confirmed that her master had no injuries, and her thumping heart calmed down a little. After hearing the order, she immediately headed downstairs.
Nalant also walked out of the study room and prepared to go to the lobby on the first floor.
When he reached the stairs, Vivian and a group of guards rushed up with weapons.
"grown ups!"
Everyone had just learned from Lilia that Nalant was fine, and they felt relieved at this time.
"Let's go! Go to the meeting hall first!" Nalant waved his hand and led everyone back the same way.
…
"My lord, this subordinate must be damned for letting an assassin enter the castle!"
A few minutes later, Quick was half-kneeling in front of Nalant in the lobby on the first floor.
Having seen the assassin before, half of the guards entered the inner castle to protect Nalant's safety, while the other half, led by Quick, pursued the assassin.
As for the result of the pursuit, it was no surprise that the woman's strength was extraordinary. Even though Quick had been practicing fighting spirit for several days and was a trainee knight, it was still of no use.
"Get up first! Where did the assassin enter the castle from? Have you found out?" Nalant waved his hand and did not immediately pursue anyone for their negligence.
"Sir! When the assassin escaped, she went towards the back of the castle. When my subordinates arrived with the guards, she had climbed down the cliff. We pursued her down the gentle slope, but unfortunately she was gone."
"However, there are still ropes left on the ground and there are signs of climbing on the cliff. I speculate that the assassin must have climbed up from the cliff."
"Climb up from the back of the castle?" Nalant also didn't expect that the only loophole in the castle would be exploited by this female assassin.
As his hometown, Nalant naturally checked the surrounding situation carefully. The surrounding cliffs were almost vertical. Even he, a middle-level bronze knight, would not dare to climb without safety protection.
Therefore, due to the current insufficient number of guards, Narant only asked the guards to guard the front, and only occasionally patrolled the rear and sides.
After all, there was only one road on the bright side, and he didn't expect anyone to be able to climb up the other sides.
"Sir, I kindly ask you to let me take people out to pursue him so that I can catch the assassin and apologize to you!" Quick requested.
"No need!"
Nalant shook his head. Even the castle couldn't trap the woman. Now that she was out of the castle, there was no way that a dozen or so people from Quik could still catch up.
What's more important is that Catherine is so powerful that letting Quick and others go out is no different than sending them to death.
"Quick, you take the guards to guard the castle again, and send a few more people to the sides and rear." Nalant immediately ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Quick was still a little reluctant, but he could only accept the decision made by his lord.
"Shirley and Vivian stay, everyone else, please go out!" After Quick left, Nalant cleared away the others.
"Sir, my subordinates failed to protect your safety!"
"Sir, Shirley is also at fault. Shirley's bees and little Huihui sleep at night!"
After everyone went out, Vivian and Shirley raised their heads and admitted their mistake to Nalant.
"Shirley, Vivian, this is none of your business!" Nalant laughed dumbly. Even he himself didn't expect this intrusion. How could these two girls think of it.
Moreover, Xiao Huihui and the bees were unable to work because of the darkness, which cannot be changed by human power.
"I'm not keeping you here to admit your mistake, but I want to tell you something else! That assassin is actually just like you, a lucky girl!"
"Huh? It's also bad luck...lucky girl?"
Vivian and Shirley looked surprised.
"Sir, then why did she break into the castle to assassinate you? You must know that among all the nobles, you are the only one willing to take us in!" Shirley said with some resentment.
"I don't know yet why she broke into the castle, but I feel that she didn't really enter the castle to kill me. It seems that she had other purposes."
"As for my kindness to you, she only knew about it just now, and it is precisely because of this that I have a chance to avoid tonight!"
Nalant replied with a smile, he was telling the truth, because after seeing his conversation with Vivian and Shirley, Catherine temporarily forgot her purpose and asked about the Daughter of Doom.
"This lucky girl is so bad, sir. When tomorrow dawns, I will send out Little Bee and Little Huihui so that she has no place to hide!" Shirley immediately clenched her little fists and said.
"Me too, sir, tomorrow I will lead the guard team to cooperate with Shirley to arrest her!" Vivian also nodded immediately.
"Well, I kept you here just for this matter. However, Shirley and Vivian, you need to secretly check the identity of that woman tomorrow."
"Don't let her find out, because you can't beat her. Just report it to me after you find it!"
Nalant is now a little unsure whether Catherine is his third lucky daughter, so he doesn't want to scare her away by making too much noise.
As for why Narant guessed that Catherine would not escape overnight, it was because of what Catherine said when she left.
She said that she would come back to her. Nalant felt that someone as talented and bold as Catherine, who dared to break into a castle, would definitely not need to go out of her way to cover her escape from the territory.
"Yes, sir!" The two women responded immediately.
After giving instructions to Shirley and Vivian, Nalant had a midnight snack before returning to the bedroom.
Narant, who was lying on the bed, called up the system panel.
'Lucky Daughter: Catherine (Primary Awakening!)'
'Specialty: Swordsmanship! '
'Special talents: light body, insightful eyes! '
'She is an extremely talented swordsman. When she grows into an excellent swordsman, she will be able to cut through thorns and obstacles with her long sword and be unstoppable. '
'She is also an excellent general. In the primary awakening state, the long sword soldiers she leads can master the sword skill proficiently in one week, and the soldiers will permanently gain 10% of the talent of the light body! '
(Note: In the primary awakening state, the upper limit of the number of people taught at each time is 10! The number of people can be increased after raising the level of awakening!)
This lucky girl has completed primary awakening, and her proficiency is about to reach the intermediate awakening requirements.
Intermediate awakening potion formula: one part of the magic potion golden orchid, two parts of the magic potion taro, two parts of the blood of the light bird of Warcraft...
"She is about to reach the threshold of intermediate awakening. No wonder she is so confident that as long as she is under the Silver Knight, I cannot be her opponent!" Nalant couldn't help but be surprised after reading the introduction of the illustrated book.
This Lucky Girl illustration was a reminder that Narant received from the system after Catherine revealed her name.
What surprised him now was that Catherine was about to complete the intermediate awakening.
But another point is that Nalant is even more confused about how Catherine completed the primary awakening in the first place.
After all, Vivian and Shirley both relied on their own potions to achieve awakening.
After thinking for a moment, Nalant had no clue and could only think no more.
"You said you would come back to me, and I'm looking forward to meeting you again!" Nalant muttered before closing his eyes.
These doubts should be solved as long as Catherine is found.
