Freya's words confirmed Nok's guess.
Freya also understood that she had made a mistake, and she was too embarrassed to look at Nok.
Nok sat down at the table unceremoniously, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Leo behind him.
Then he poured himself another glass and drank it in one go before he spoke.
"Because, madam, your behavior is too wrong. When the general told the story, your emotions did not fluctuate unnecessarily.
But even though the general's wife already knew the truth, she still trembled when she heard it.
In addition, madam, you arrived at the fortress at the wrong time.
Although it took us a little longer to reach the fort.
But our group was delayed for nearly a day because of food and packing goods.
The speed is also a bit slow due to the heavy traffic on the road. Then there was a little more attack on the grassland.
In addition, we camped outside the woods last night and was delayed for another night.
Therefore, I can be forgiven for arriving a few days later than you. "
Nok said this and placed the cup in his hand heavily on the table.
"boom!"
"But you are running for your lives that night! Along the river road, you can't get lost. You can reach the grassland in a short time. You don't have the tools to camp. The most you can do is stop and rest.
The repairs definitely didn't take long, and they definitely took an overnight trip.
Running all day and night is definitely enough for you to get out of the grassland.
If your driver is experienced enough, you can even deviate from the trade route and cross the grassland to shorten the trip.
Therefore, even if you stay outside the woods for one night, you will not arrive at the fortress until the evening of the next day.
Therefore, you must have entered the jungle overnight and provoked something to trap yourself.
Finally, around evening, we got out of trouble and arrived at the fortress.
But although you escaped from the jungle by luck, the cavalry who wanted to support were attacked on your behalf.
The thing in the jungle that you provoked took the opportunity to possess the five surviving soldiers.
Sneaked into the fortress barracks.
That night it attacked, killed the possessed soldiers, and started looking for you.
It turned out not to be found.
Therefore, the next night, after searching for it again to no avail, it killed all the remaining survivors.
But it happened that on the third night, a murder also occurred in the city, and the method of death happened to be similar to that in the military camp.
You imply that the general attributes the two cases to one murderer, in an attempt to use the general's hand to eradicate the enemy.
But you didn't expect that the enemy's strength was beyond your imagination, so you were afraid and worried. You suggested that the general take the old priest into the general's mansion, and you didn't dare to go out, waiting for reinforcements. "
Nok's words convinced Freya.
"Bah bang bang!"
Freya clapped her hands, her face full of appreciation.
"As expected of the man I like, he guessed the truth right away."
Freya no longer dared to hide it, got up and took out a simple-looking wooden box from the bedside.
“We got lost in the jungle, so we split up to look for a way out, and accidentally discovered a strange stone building.
Out of curiosity, Charlotte and I opened up the inconspicuous stone building and found this small box.
But who knew that when Charlotte and I were about to open the box, we were attacked by ghosts. "
"In a hurry, Charlotte and I ran away with the box."
"With the help of the guards, we got rid of the ghost, but we were still trapped."
"Fortunately, the old man who drove the car was experienced. He led us out of the fog-shrouded jungle while avoiding pursuit.
Originally we thought those ghosts couldn't catch us, so we gave up. But who knew that they would attack the army and even possess them and enter the fortress. "
"We also thought about leaving, but once we walked out of the general's mansion, they dared to attack us, even during the day.
So Charlotte and I didn't dare tell anyone else that we had taken the box. Even the guards didn't know about it.
I'm afraid the general will kick us out if he finds out we're the cause of this. "
Nok only believed half of Freya's explanation.
If it was true as she said, Jack would have told this matter to the death just now.
But Jack didn't say anything, which meant that he didn't connect this incident with the ghost incident at all.
Then Freya’s element of lying is very high.
"Show me something."
Nok did not expose Freya's lies.
Instead, he picked up the box Freya placed on the table and opened it.
Leo came over curiously.
I saw a diamond-shaped crystal in a small wooden box. The crystal was black.
Kind of like obsidian crystal.
Nok wanted to reach out and take it, but Freya quickly reminded him.
"Be careful! This crystal looks ordinary, but it is completely cold. After leaving the box, it will involuntarily emit an amazing cold air, which can cause frostbite!"
After hearing this, Nok gave up the idea of taking it out of the box.
Listen to people's advice and eat enough!
Nok instead lightly touched the crystal with his finger.
Very cold, this was Nok's first thought.
Cold, this was Nok's second thought.
However, at this moment, the crystal shook violently.
Buzz!
There seemed to be something rolling inside the shaking crystal.
The three of them were frightened by this incident, and Nok quickly retracted his hand.
"How is this going?"
Nok asked Freya.
Freya shook her head quickly and said, "I don't know. When I touched it, there was no reaction except a little coldness. If you don't believe me, just look at it."
As she said that, Freya stretched out her hand and pressed it on the crystal of the box, but found that it didn't react at all.
Now, Nok was confused.
Leo on the side suddenly said: "How about I give it a try?"
Nok and Freya looked up at Leo at the same time, and then they nodded in agreement.
"Leo, be careful. If anything goes wrong, let go."
Nok's words of concern attracted Freya's resentful eyes.
When she touched it just now, Nok didn't care about her!
Leo looked solemn, carefully stretched out his finger, and tentatively tapped the crystal.
Cool, icy feeling.
Finding that everything was fine, Leo directly pressed his finger on the crystal.
"It's very cold, and there is air-conditioning slowly creeping into my skin. This smell makes me very uncomfortable."
"Also, my fighting spirit is restless. But there is nothing strange about this crystal."
"So, this thing doesn't have much reaction to ordinary people. It should be reacting to our power."
“It’s just that my fighting spirit reacts to it, not that it reacts to my fighting spirit.
Therefore, I make a bold guess that it is reacting to your attributes, Ryan, or it is reacting very violently. "
Although Freya already knew Nok's identity, Leo did not forget that he still had to perform the role.
Call Nok Lean instead of Nok in front of Freya, pretending that the two of them don't know that Freya is investigating them.
Leo's explanation made Nok and Freya's expressions change at the same time.
Freya was secretly surprised: why the power in her body did not react to the crystal. And Charlotte, she touched this thing too. Why hasn't it been mentioned that this thing will cause an energy reaction in the body?
Did Charlotte hide it on purpose?
That’s not right! The two of them took the crystal out of the box and froze most of the jungle!
Even two of the guards around him were frozen to death.
If she and Charlotte hadn't been so powerful, they might have fallen into the trap.
That's right, Freya is not just an ordinary person as she appears.
On the contrary, her strength is quite good.
It's just that she has been hiding her strength and entertaining people with sex.
Apart from her superiors, few knew she was a professional.
Even Charlotte, who spent time with her, didn't discover her secret.
If it weren't for Crystal's accident, Charlotte wouldn't have known that Freya was actually a professional and very strong!
Just when she was wondering that she wasn't reacting to the crystal, Nok put his hand on the crystal again.
Buzz!
This time, the crystal shook even more.
A picture actually appeared inside the crystal.
It turns out that the crystal is not black at all.
But transparent!
There is nothing but black gas trapped inside the crystal!
Nok quickly picked up the box containing the crystal and brought it close to his eyes to take a closer look.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong."
"Marquise, I'm here to deliver food. Can you come in?"
The three of Nok looked at each other, and Nok closed the box and handed it to Freya.
Freya put the box back on the bedside and then said, "Come in."
The head maid of the General's Mansion came in with a group of maids, carrying food, and began to place it on the wooden table in the room.
"Madam, sir, it's time to start dinner. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to tell us."
Nok and Leo were tired and hungry, so they immediately showed no courtesy. Under the service of the maid, they ate happily.
After eating dried meat and broth for a few days, my mouth became numb.
Freya had actually already eaten, but she still ate a little to keep her company.
In the meantime, Charlotte had already arranged for the others to come back.
Soon, after a hearty meal, Freya sent the servants away.
"Leanne and Lord Gareth, please stay and rest. The room arranged by the general is a bit far away from here, and it will take too much time to walk there.
Besides, I still have something I want to continue talking to Ryan about. "
"Is it convenient?" Nok asked.
"Of course it is convenient. In this way, Butler Charlotte will take Mr. Gareth to your room to rest first, and you will come over to serve him later."
"Yes, ma'am."
Charlotte took the order and then said to Leo: "Mr. Gareth, please come this way."
Leo followed Charlotte away indifferently and went to another room to rest.
With no outsiders around, Freya hugged Nok directly and the two rolled onto the bed.
"Honey, I miss you so much."
Nok hugged her, kissed her, and said, "I miss you too. However, I am very tired now and have to move at night. I need to recharge my batteries, and I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."
"It doesn't matter, I just want to be with you. I don't want to do anything."
Freya said with an understanding look.
Nok thought for a while, took off his coat, and then lay down in the middle of the bed.
He was afraid that his clothes would stain Freya's bed.
After all, he has not changed his clothes yet after all the travel.
Nok was so tired that he fell asleep on the bed.
Seeing this, Freya also took off her coat, pressed against Nok, and snuggled into his arms.
After a while, Charlotte, who came back, saw the situation between the two of them, and a trace of jealousy flashed on her face.
Then he took off his coat, climbed onto the bed, lay on the other side of Nok, and got into Nok's arms.
Nok was sleeping soundly there, and the two women glared at each other unconvincedly, but said nothing.
Just like that, when evening comes.
Nok walked out of the room with a haggard look on his face and saw Leo standing in the yard looking at the scenery.
"Why are you here?"
Leo smiled: "I'm not here, and the news of your hard work will spread throughout the general's mansion.
But even so, I think the general and his wife already know. After all, the person who came to invite you has come three times. "
Nok opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't make any excuses.
I wanted to have a good rest.
But he still underestimated the deceitful mouth of women.
Finally he was woken up, and he could only angrily beat the two women with a stick.
Now the two women are still lying in bed unable to recover!
"Let's go, don't make people wait. Go to eat first, meet the old priest and the young priest. Then you go and get the equipment. I have a hunch that this time I may be serious about it."
The two walked out of the yard and saw the servants waiting outside the yard.
Under the leadership of the servant, the two came to a room with an open door and saw an old man and a young man sitting in front of a table of wine and food.
The old man was about seventy years old, and the young man looked to be in his twenties, probably older than Nok.
Nock, who has no beard and is twenty years old, often makes others feel looked down upon.
With his handsome appearance, even the members of the "Lark" who were afraid of him couldn't help but peek at him.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t love it, it’s just good for your eyes.
Therefore, the old priest and the young priest were also surprised when they saw Nok and Leo.
After all, Leo's muscular body and military temperament don't look like a priest in any way.
Only Nok fit the general's definition of a "young and promising" priest.
"Junior Nok Lane, I have met this senior and this gentleman."
Nok greeted the two of them kindly.
"Gareth, met the priest and the priest."
Leo was a little colder.
The old priest and the young priest stood up quickly.
"My old husband, Wanda Till, is the priest of the church here. I have met Father Ryan."
"This is Methosis, and I would like to express my sincere greetings to Father Ryan. I am just a monk who is still practicing, and I dare not call myself a priest."
The old priest was neither humble nor arrogant, but the young man was a little frightened.
Nok was very satisfied with the attitude of the two men.
The conversation that follows should be very pleasant.
"Please take a seat, please. I am looking for you this time just to know the details of the case.
After all, outsiders don’t understand the magic of our Holy Church.
Only through the two of you can I deduce the strength and origin of the enemy.
Don't be nervous, we'll chat while eating. "
