"Leo, help me over there."
While everyone is celebrating their narrow escape from death,
Nok pointed at the ruins of the room where Freya and others stayed in the distance and said.
Although Leo was confused about Nok's behavior, he still helped him over as instructed.
The two came to the ruins.
Nok calmed down and started sensing.
"Over there! Peel it open!"
Nok ordered Leo, pointing to a pile of furniture ruins.
Although Leo was surprised, he still helped Nok aside.
Then start digging with your dagger.
"despair!"
After digging for a while, Leo discovered what he had dug up.
"This is……"
Leo looked at the familiar box and dug it out.
"Are you looking for this?"
Leo handed the box to Nok.
Nok nodded, took the box with a complicated expression, and opened it.
I saw a diamond-shaped obsidian crystal lying intact inside.
"Oh, it's actually quite strong."
Nok looked at the crystal with a sneer.
Leo noticed that Nok's mood was not right and asked quickly.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this thing?"
Nok smiled bitterly: "If I said that the entire Canyon Fortress was almost destroyed because of this thing, would you believe it?"
"What! You mean, this is what that madman is looking for!"
Leo looked at Nok in shock, trying to find signs of joking from his face.
Nok nodded: "Yes. If I guess correctly,
This thing is something that the madman organization has prepared long ago.
But because it was such a long time ago, the madman only knew that there was such a thing, but he didn't know what it looked like.
But because this thing is so special,
Therefore, he refused to tell the purpose and name of this thing until his death.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Freya and others would have handed him over long ago. "
Leo asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Ghost Medium."
"What! You mean, the ghost medium the old priest mentioned?"
"That's right! Do you remember the white ghosts that attacked the residents of the city? That's them."
"It turned out to be them."
Leo finally figured it out.
"In other words, Freya brought this thing into the fortress, so it attracted the ghost here?"
"To be precise, the ghost is following me and intends to take back the medium.
It was just blocked by the old priest's barrier. "
Nok explained: “The ghosts who cannot enter the general’s mansion can only wander around the city.
They can only appear at night, so they naturally choose to live in residential areas with the most souls.
That's why residents were attacked. "
"Why did that madman attack the military camp?" Leo asked doubtfully.
“I guess Freya just walked away with her front foot, and he was going to get something with his back foot.
Turns out something was missing.
Just as the cavalry entered the woods, they were attacked by ghosts.
He thought it was a soldier who had taken something, so he lurked into the military camp.
I guess finding out Freya and her group is the source.
He then formulated a plan to attack the military camp and attack the east and the west.
It was very convenient for him to attack the general's mansion.
That's why he kept forcing Freya to hand over things. "
"I see. So what should I do with this thing now?"
Leo looked at the crystal in the box worriedly.
Nok sneered: "Of course I ruined it!"
"Well, it's hard to destroy it, right? Otherwise, it won't survive the explosion intact."
"It's okay. Just because you can't do anything with it doesn't mean I can't."
With that said, Nok took the crystal out of the box.
"Buzz!"
Feeling Nok's breath, the crystal shook violently.
The black energy in the crystal was rolling crazily.
"Hmph! How dare you act like a monster!"
Nok poured the recovered mana into the crystal.
"Boom!"
A crack appeared on the surface of the crystal.
"Click, click!"
Cracks covered the surface of the crystal.
"No! This thing is behind the scenes again!"
Nok exclaimed and threw the crystal in his hand hard.
"Leo, lie down!"
Sensing that Nok's attitude was wrong, Leo quickly raised his shield, picked up Nok, and threw him to the ground.
"Ice Armor Shield!"
Leo activated the ice armor shield, and the ice covered the ice armor shield, forming a full-body shield that tightly protected the two of them.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang.
The flying dust and stones hit the shield.
The sound of "crackling" frightened the two of them.
You know, Leo is better.
Nok was very weak at this time. If he was hit, it would cost him half his life.
"Father Ryan!"
"Sir Gareth!"
"Where are you!"
Maybe the explosion alerted people nearby.
Leo and Nok heard Sophia and Keynes shouting.
"We're here!"
Leo shouted loudly.
"over there!"
"Hurry up!"
Tap tap tap
There was a series of footsteps, and Keynes and Sophia appeared in their sight with a group of soldiers.
…
after one day.
In the military camp in Beicheng.
“Father Ryan, it’s thanks to you this time.
Otherwise, the Canyon Fortress will be destroyed in my hands! "
The seriously injured General Rochefort supported his sick body,
With the support of his wife, he sincerely thanked Nok who was lying on the bed.
Nok waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't blame me for miscalculation, just destroy your general's mansion."
"No! No! It's just the General's Mansion, it's a big deal to rebuild.
Compared to the Canyon Fortress and the honor of the Dawn family, the General's Mansion is nothing. "
"Then I'm relieved. Unfortunately, most of the canyon fortress has been destroyed. I'm afraid the general will be punished."
"Haha, that's not possible!
On the contrary, because Father Ryan helped repel the Hell Hounds, Canyon Fortress may have made a meritorious deed! "
Rochefort's words surprised Nok.
"No!"
"Really! That is a hell monster that is comparable to a giant dragon, and is on the same level as a divine beast.
It would be great if we could survive it. Not to mention seriously injuring it and knocking it back! "
"Uh, couldn't it be that we were lucky enough to scare it away?"
"No, Father Ryan, you remember it wrong.
With the joint efforts of you and our fortress soldiers,
We severely injured the three-headed hellhound, causing it to flee. This is your and Canyon Fortress's credit! "
Looking at Rochefort’s serious posture,
Nok finally understood why he came to see him despite the pain.
It turned out to be a confession.
"I understand, I don't have any objection, I just don't know where Mrs. Freya is..."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem with the Marquise. She doesn't dare to have any problem either!"
Even though Rochefort’s status in the organization is lower than Freya’s.
This time he had the confidence to say so.
Because, he already knows,
It was Freya who almost destroyed the Canyon Fortress by taking something she shouldn't have.
Maybe a Rochefort doesn't count for much.
But a canyon fortress under the control of the organization is more important than ten Freyas!
After the organization received the news of the attack on the Canyon Fortress, it sent a special envoy overnight to scold Freya.
If she hadn't been tasked with winning over Nok, she would have been captured and punished long ago!
Therefore, Rochefort dared to say that Freya had no objection.
"Father Ryan, what are your plans next.
Should he continue to escort the Marquise back to the royal capital, or should he stay.
I am willing to rebuild the largest church in Canyon Fortress for you. "
"Uh, no need. Madam's escort is gone. If I don't escort her, I'm afraid she will be in danger."
Nok's refusal made the general feel pity, but it was also expected.
After all, Freya's reputation as a "social butterfly" was not just blown.
To hold a young person in hand is not just to pinch him with your hands.
It's a pity that such a powerful person cannot stay by his side.
Otherwise, the credit for wooing Nok would belong to him, Rochefort.
"That's a pity. However, you will always be Canyon Fortress's most trustworthy friend!"
There is no promise of money, but the general can still afford it.
Nok smiled and said nothing more.
The general also understood the situation and left with his wife.
Two days later, Nok, who had recovered from his injuries, directly healed all the injuries of his team.
By the way, Rochefort's injury was cured.
The group of people left the Canyon Fortress under Rochefort's respectful escort.
This time, there were only two carriages in their party.
One cart contains supplies, and the other cart contains women’s dependents.
It is worth mentioning that Freya’s coachman, old Fili, did not die!
I don't know where he hid.
I actually found him again before setting off.
So, old Feili drove a carriage, pulling Freya and Charlotte, as well as the guard Sophia.
Nok and Leo were driving a cart of supplies, and Sophia stayed in the car shamelessly.
Together we embarked on the journey back to the royal capital.
"Lian, Ryan, you said that our escort mission failed, will it be recorded?"
I don’t know if I have become familiar with Ryan these days.
Sophia got a little carried away and started calling Nok by his first name.
Sophia tried to stop her, but Nok stopped her with her eyes.
After all, the six people in the team have four or five minds.
That mysterious old Feili, Nok didn't believe that he was just lucky.
Even the girls from Lark couldn't escape from the General's Mansion, but he, an ordinary old man, survived?
Whoever wants to believe it believes it, but Nok doesn’t believe it anyway.
And Freya, the energy in her body is obscure.
But she couldn't hide it from Nok, who had an in-depth communication with her.
It's just that Nok never exposed it.
But that day, when it was a matter of life and death, this woman could still keep her composure and not be exposed.
This is a bit much.
On the other hand, it was Charlotte. Nock didn't expect that she was also very skilled.
Nok thought she just learned some boxing and acted as Freya's guard.
But the strength Charlotte showed was much more powerful than Sophia, the assassin.
You know, Sophia is a peak bronze-level adventurer.
Although her level strength is not high, the assassin's weirdness coupled with her rich combat experience as an adventurer.
She couldn't even fight the man in black cloak for several rounds.
Charlotte was able to fight that madman for dozens of rounds.
It can be seen that its strength is extraordinary.
There is also the wavering Sofia, and the one who is devoted to Leo,
Sophia is just about to fall in love with Leo.
Nok feels that the next journey will definitely be exciting.
However, mission failure is indeed a problem.
After all, Nok and Leo's mission record in the Adventure Guild was undefeated.
Unexpectedly, this time he fell into a seemingly simple escort mission.
"Okay, it's okay. Madam Freya already said that this mission was an accident.
When the next city has an adventure guild, she will take the initiative to cancel the commission.
In this way, we will not fail the mission. "
"Ah, it can still be like this! Great! In this way, our lark's mission failure rate is only..."
Suddenly, Sophia couldn't be happy anymore.
Only then did she remember, where is the Lark Adventure Team?
The only ones left were the two sisters.
"Whoa, whoa! My adventure team is gone!"
Sophia suddenly cried sadly.
Nok looked at Leo with a sad look on his face, and suddenly thrust the reins of the carriage into Leo's hand.
"Your people, you come to comfort me, I'll go to the front!"
With that said, Nok jumped out of the carriage and quickly rushed to the carriage in front.
"Sofia, that crybaby sister of yours is crying again. Go over and comfort her!"
Nok jumped on the carriage and pushed Sophia out without any politeness.
Sofia almost fell to the ground, and looked at the unreasonable Nok in the carriage, feeling bitter in her heart.
The lark was gone, and the sisters were left alone.
I don’t know if it’s still worth using, but Father Ryan seems to be very dissatisfied with himself.
Alas, I don’t know what the fate of their sisters will be next.
I really envy my carefree sister,
She really wants to be a silly girl!
