Probably no one among these female knights of the Black Veil Army thought it would turn out like this. Another female knight blocking the dining room door saw her companion dying tragically. She panicked and subconsciously pulled out the weapon at her waist.
Lin Yi stepped forward, stretched out his hand to press the long sword out of its sheath, and said: "Don't show any hostility. Let's calm down and talk. There is nothing that cannot be solved."
But Lin stopped one, but could not stop the second and third; or in other words, he had no intention of stopping everyone. When another female knight drew her sword and pointed the tip of the sword at him, dense white light flashed past again! The two men who drew their swords were cut into pieces, including their weapons. The long sword is just recycled as scrap metal; the person doesn't even have the chance to use resurrection.
How all this happened, not many people can see clearly. Some people even deliberately focused their attention on a certain magician, but did not see any signs of magic being activated. In the blink of an eye, it happened.
Lin then said slowly and calmly: "I said, don't do anything. But you don't believe in evil, so you have to give it a try. Is it difficult to listen to what others say? The protection restrictions I have set will not protect you. At the same time, you are allowed to do whatever you want. Those who disobey will have this fate. Of course, if you have the strength of His Highness Azad, you can survive and complain about having a hair cut off. "
Someone's sarcastic words were far less frightening than the fact that two more people lost their lives. This also stopped others from wanting to draw their swords. Although their faces were covered with veils, Lin could still feel the shock and speechlessness behind the veils.
But what is very surprising is that the Marquise Balan still did not respond. No turning around, standing up, or exclaiming.
The leader of the escort team, under the watchful eyes of his companions, stood up and asked a certain magician: "Do you know who the person you killed is?"
Lin tilted his head, pondered for a while, and said, "Well, you are a bad visitor who doesn't know etiquette?"
The female knight lagged behind and said sternly: "They are nobles of the Gwana Empire! They are not something you, a magician, can offend."
"Oh, what are their titles?" Lin trailed off, waiting for the answer. But there was no answer for a long time.
The strict definition of the word "noble" is that only those with a title or title can be considered a nobility. This refers to a person. It is widely recognized that members of noble families are also people who belong to the noble class. This refers to a family.
Of course, as long as they are at that level, ordinary people cannot offend them. Because after hurting someone, his family members hold high the banner of bloody revenge, and no one will defend the person who is regarded as a blood feud. This is a deterrent method used by the noble class to protect their family, and it is also the reason why most people think that the noble family is a whole.
But no matter what, none of the dead people or those present had a formal title, except for the Marquise Balan, who was sitting quietly.
As a noble woman, a woman can only expect to inherit the main title unless her parents have not given birth to a male heir. In addition, women must be very favored or have a very high family status before they can obtain the secondary title of their fathers.
Because these titles given to women from the family will eventually become her dowry and become the possessions of another family. In order to avoid such things from happening frequently and diluting the power of the family, the issue of female knighthood is very cautious. The husband-in-law would even deliberately choose the second or third son of a nobleman without a title, similar to a marriage-in-law, as a link to unite the two families.
But after all, without a formal title, it means that she is not protected by the empire's legal principles. If a titled vassal is killed, the superior lord is obliged to come forward to seek justice.
Because not doing so would be tantamount to violating the lord's contract to protect his vassals and people, thereby affecting the morale of other vassals. The relationship between the king and his ministers in Lost Land is not just blind loyalty, but also relative responsibilities with rights and obligations.
But without formal noble status, only family members are eligible to take revenge, and no one else can interfere. Just like a vassal's vassal, not the emperor's vassal, so to speak. Members of the vassal family, and not the emperor's family, were not qualified to use the power of the country to attack the enemy.
If other people intervened, they would be considered to be taking too much care, or that there was some unknown, bullshit blood drama going on. Not only is this detrimental to the family's reputation, but it doesn't even have enough righteousness in the eyes of others.
As members of the same Black Veil Army team, they can stand up for their "comrades" and seek revenge. But it also depends on whether you can win...
The female knights of the Black Veil Army of the Guwana Empire are definitely not showy. Fighting thieves and monsters, and getting blood on their hands is proof that they have completed knight training. But the person in front of him was a natural disaster in the empire, and the other was a magician who had the ability to stop the Demon Prince from committing crimes. Neither of these people could compete with them.
Only then did they realize that they had seriously underestimated the strength of this magician. But this man doesn't even have the title of great magician.
However, we could not retreat casually in terms of momentum, so the leader of this team came out bravely and said: "Magic, you have to understand that because our duty is to protect Lady Balan, we cannot fight with you head-on. You must explain all this to the Grand Duke today."
Lin sneered and said: "Have you ever seen any noble feel sorry for his dead guard? I have only seen the guard die, and the noble in turn cursed the person for his lack of strength and regretted how he put his life in the hands of the other person. .So do you think that in this matter, the Grand Duke will blame you for your poor protection, or will you blame me? I believe that when the Grand Duke understands the cause and effect, your special behavior will put Lady Balan in danger. I will be even more dissatisfied with the situation."
Knowing that what the magician in front of her said was correct, the female knight still refused to be outdone and said: "The families of their dead comrades will definitely seek revenge from you. The magician has no guarantee of survival outside the magic tower. Kill the power."
"These are my problems, not yours. Besides, even if in the magic tower, the magician with the power of life and death offends the nobles, will the nobles just retreat? As long as the situation allows, they will You don't know how to use all means to kill your enemies. Therefore, the so-called 'power of life and death' is just a fig leaf. Tell the world that you can't deal with a magician hiding in a magic tower, so you give the other party the power to kill. , rationalizing the fact that one is incompetent. Strength is the core of all these considerations."
"You must understand that you will have no peace from now on." The female knight, who was wearing a veil and whose expression was invisible, said with gritted teeth.
Lin just wanted to laugh at this level of threat. Have you ever enjoyed a moment of peace after traveling through time to the Lost Land? The world's society may be full of people cannibalizing people, but the situation that ordinary people will encounter is not such that they will run for their lives from the beginning.
In the lost land, life is often risked, between people and between people and nature. This kind of precarious life, how he lived in fear, was unimaginable to people living in peaceful times.
Now I am just tired of escaping, and I am able to protect myself without relying on the super protective shield of the 'Magic Tower'. This is why I have the attitude I have today. In fact, I just want to guard this one-third of an acre of land that protects me from wind and rain. This has been the case before, and this idea has never changed.
So regarding the threat of the female knight, Lin smiled and said: "Even if there is no peace, it is definitely not what happened today. Alright, all you brave and fearless knight ladies, come when we get along, and leave when we don't get along. Let's all be polite, so we can get together easily." Goodbye. Take the Marquis who you are supposed to protect and leave my home. As for the remains of those unfortunate people, I will send them to your stay so that they can return to their hometown for burial."
In response to the indifferent attitude shown by a certain magician, the women of the Black Veil Army seemed to have their sanity broken and began to act out. Anyway, the magician only said not to use force, but he didn't say not to curse. Everyone behaved like a shrew, scolding you and I without any bottom line.
But at noon, someone who is hungry is also a little angry. After scolding, he said: "Find out whose sky is above your head and whose ground are your feet! Let you leave my house, just leave my house. There is so much nonsense. If you don't want to leave, please go and die." Well. If you still want to continue scolding, even if you just make a sound, please go to hell! I'll give you an hourglass time," Lin casually took out an hourglass, put it down and started counting, "-when the sand leaks After this, even if you haven’t left yet, you will die as well.”
There was the female knight who did not believe in evil. She had her halberd on her hips and just said: "You!" Countless white lights flashed and she was cut into pieces.
When someone saw this, he covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Ah!" The result was the same outcome.
Seeing two more people die, the remaining female knights tightly covered their mouths, not daring to make any more noise. On the contrary, Azad, who was watching the whole drama, whistled and said: "Wow, is this how civilized people negotiate? I suspect that my definition of civilization is slightly different from your definition of civilization. "
"This is the result of hunger and excessive secretion of adrenaline." Lin said angrily. At the same time, he turned around and ordered his apprentice: "Girl, hurry up and prepare lunch. Prepare a larger portion. If you are angry, you will be even hungrier."
Looking back again, seeing the women of the Black Veil Army still frozen in place, Lin said in an indifferent voice: "The sand in the hourglass is almost gone. Once the sand is gone, none of you will have to leave. I will do what I say." "
As soon as they finished speaking, the female knights, as if awakening from a dream, quickly grabbed the hand of Marquis Balan and ran out. Lin followed behind them, happily watching the women get out.
But just at the door, the Marquise broke free from the guard's hand. Instead of running out of the house like the others, she stayed inside the house and looked at the female knights leaving and said, "You go, I will stay."
