Uriel asked: "When did you come?"
"Just... just like 'The fairy in the lake left you a treasure'?"
"The wound." He sighed, "Lessons are valuable. It tells us that no matter how reputable a race is, there will still be a few aliens." What's more, I don't know much about goblins.
"I thought you were good at detecting lies." The young count said as she walked down the stairs.
I'm good at spotting differences, and this kind of entertainment might make me smarter. "It depends on the situation." He replied vaguely. "Sometimes, beautiful lies are more cordial than cold truths. In front of Lemons, why do you say you know the purpose of the parliament?"
"Of course it's because I don't trust him."
"Those are two different things."
"It's the same thing. The Paladin of the Glorious Council who wants to repair friendly relations with Veniworth, and the mysterious apprentice who pretended to be a mercenary and was beaten to death. If you were me, what would you choose?"
I have no choice. "Although the latter is not trustworthy, contact is safer." Uriel corrected with a wry smile, "I did fake the name of the Knox Mercenary Group, but most adventurers will not beat me up for this. Dun. You are right, we have only one way to go."
Suddenly Dandelphine said: "He's talking."
The apprentice immediately stopped talking. He heard footsteps coming from outside the door, but the voice was very soft. Someone has entered the castle, but most likely they won't be friendly forces. He knew that the only Mystic in Croita stationed south of Eastman was Eds, and that Joey would not leave the altar before dawn.
The Paladin was on the lookout for us to eavesdrop, Uriel realized, and he knew we were in the castle.
But just when he gave up hope, the voice became louder: "Kadel, your mission is half completed, don't expect me to reward you." The paladin commander opened his visor.
"This brother knight is very aggressive." York's voice came. "You don't have to blame him, otherwise I will be in trouble."
Uriel poked his head around and saw that the orange-faced mercenary was grabbed by two knights, with swords and daggers on the ground. But Memie was not with him.
Lemons frowned.
"I didn't do that." Under the gaze of the paladin captain, the knight quickly explained. "He's a Sita, sir. The most I can do is give him a verbal warning."
"That's true," York said.
"He is still a mercenary." However, another knight added. "And trying to go against the will of the goddess."
“His will is not left to me.”
"But you are His believer, aren't you?" The knight raised his voice.
"That's enough, José!" Lemmons snapped. "If you can't speak, keep your mouth shut. The beliefs of others are as unshakable as yours, and it's none of your business even if Sita worships apple pie. Now, soldier, here you go. I'm going back to the team!"
The adventurer showed an exaggerated provocative smile. "Where is my companion, my lord?" He did not look around for him. "You're not going to destroy his body and eliminate his traces, are you?"
Lemons turned his head and ignored the mercenary's question. "Where's Reese? Her knights are all here, but she went to pray?"
"We didn't find her, sir." Jose replied in a low voice, "The projection invaded Winnie Watts, and when we got to the second floor, Miss Reese disappeared along with the Earl of Iceland."
"That shouldn't be far." The silver-armored paladin captain waved his hand, "Miss Lancost is in the castle, and there is an apprentice from the tower. She seems to have been kidnapped."
He glared at York, "Your companion is harder to find than a mouse. But it doesn't matter, I have plenty of time. Knights!" Lemons ordered, "Go find the wolf now and bring Miss Reese back to the castle. Our Earl must be frightened, and I need a priest who can comfort her."
"Wait a minute, you said Uriel abducted the Earl of Iceland?" York said in a strange tone.
"Perhaps he is protecting her. But he is injured and it is not safe here." The paladin captain said meticulously. "Don't think about causing trouble, Sita. You follow us now. When the matter is over, I will hand you and the apprentice over to the White Envoy."
To his great surprise, this time the mercenary obeyed immediately. The elemental life's expression seemed to be trying not to laugh.
…
"What is he laughing at?" asked the count.
"Of course Meimi was not caught." Uriel knew the reason, but now he never dared to tell the truth, "We will be fine, but if Meimi can't escape, we will kill him. Life."
"Are you here for that werewolf?"
"In order not to covet other people's treasures."
"Treasure?"
"That's right, the goblin's treasure, I won it from her. There are three of us, oh, including the White Envoy, that's four people, one for each person. Whether it's cutting the cake or dividing the apples, four is always easier than three."
He thought Danlfien would tell him with a contemptuous attitude that the treasures and wealth in the eyes of adventurers were not worth mentioning among nobles. But in fact, the Countess of Iceland seemed a little excited.
"Camaria's elven treasure!" she repeated. "The treasure you won in the hands of the goblins, the honor you won." A kind of resentment overflowed in her eyes, "This is really good luck!"
Uriel was startled. What's wrong with this young lady? "I thought you looked down upon those treasures." He suddenly remembered that when he was at Frostleaf Castle, the princess was deceived by Gavin's so-called treasure and almost lost her life. Could it be that she doesn't have a long memory?
However, the secret of Frostleaf Castle is true, and the fairy Aurora gave us lies. Uriel found that he had not made any progress either. However, he touched the scroll of oath in his pocket and felt that he could not take all the responsibility.
"No, I just don't like things that are within easy reach, then they are not treasures." said the count. "Where is your treasure now?"
"It's right outside at the bottom of the lake."
"Do you have a share for that little wild dog?"
"He is a wolf. Secondly, he is older than you." The apprentice corrected.
"He is an adventurer from the Knox Mercenary Group?"
Uriel thought for a moment, "In fact, his career is much greater than that of an adventurer. He built railways for the kingdom."
"A gray little thing. For his race, it is really not easy to find a job in a human city." Danlfion sneered at the so-called greatness, and the apprentice had already expected that she would be this reaction. "Speaking of railways, what is the point of the Kingdom Train that makes these Paladins not hesitate to offend the Tower of Sky? After the Demon Hunting Movement, if these knights are smart people, it is best not to go to the ice to get it in this life."
"I didn't see any trains here." He didn't need to lead the girl around on the first floor. The Holy Knights had already left.
"The Parliament got the news based on the prophecy." The Earl analyzed it to himself. "Their level is definitely not as good as the tower. 'The steel dragon that shuttles between icebergs and black lakes', this is the goal of the Parliament, an image."
"The steel dragon that shuttles between icebergs and black lakes?" Uriel repeated subconsciously. But the first thing that popped into his mind was not the Cloud Train, but the winding Black Moon River from Greenbrier City to the Angmar Tunnel.
Although it is not steel, this river originating from the Broken Moon does pass through the Morris Mountains and the source of the Black Moon Lake... He suddenly realized something: the armor of Alanvor's army was made of steel rock. After the war, Nicholas moved the royal capital along the river to the foot of the mountain. During this period, countless steel rocks must have sunk into the Black Moon River.
"What they are looking for is the source of the Black Moon River." The apprentice murmured, "That is, Alan Wo's altar."
Dandelphin was very puzzled. "Will Broken Moon make up for itself, will it have any impact on Lucia?"
"The sun and the moon shine together, do you think it's possible?"
"But the moon has been broken since ancient times, and it symbolizes the goddess of luck. Even if she...even returns to perfection, she shouldn't do any harm to Knox." When talking about gods, the earl couldn't help but lower his voice.
"I don't know what Lucia thinks." Although every mystic he met said that the gods were dead, Uriel still hoped that Gaia really existed. If so, maybe He will answer my prayer. "Let's go, we can't wait here. With divine protection, no one can see us."
"How long can the magic last?" The young count didn't even ask where they were going. She was such a little princess who had just left home. It was not without reason that Uriel thought she was more difficult to deal with than Meme. Being a lord is not as interesting as being a mercenary, but if mercenaries have to choose, I am afraid that there will not be a few people who give up the fun. The apprentice had known that life would not be easy, and before he ignited the fire, he would not be more ambitious than the werewolf railway worker.
"Enough to last till dawn," replied the apprentice.
As a result, when he reached the door, the count hesitated again. "Why can't we wait here for someone to come? I mean, Ansa will go crazy if I disappear for a night."
"Who is Ansa?"
"My maid."
"You can leave her a message." He thought of himself and Memie, surrounded by a group of knights in armor, discussing the form of the will - as a noble lady, Danlfien must be able to write. If my future was filled with such life-threatening adventures, then making an early will might not necessarily be a bad omen.
"Speak realistically, apprentice!" the count ordered.
"Mr. Lemmons has met you. There is no need for him to hide the news from others, right?"
"What would he say? The Earl of the Ice Territory escaped from the protection of the Paladin with a strange, rough and foolish apprentice on the night he took office?"
What a wonderful beginning! "Although I don't have a title now, don't think that I will be happy to accept these nonsense you are talking about." He began to feel impatient. "What do you want? Tell others that I kidnapped a lord?"
"This will not put a noose on you." The count was not very satisfied. "I... I am here to assist Croita in her actions? Wait, this is also far-fetched. I think it's better for me to stay here, very Guards will come to me soon."
Uriel would not let her go, because Lemons left first, and the Holy Knights who did not see the count might beat him up. After seeing York encounter provocative guys among the Paladins, he decided to be more cautious.
"Wineworth doesn't need you now, Danlfion." He called the girl's name for the first time. "Order is the effective environment for identity. In chaos, no one will notice what you do. You have a few hours before dawn to be Dandelphin, not Lancoster or Wiggins."
"In that case, are you willing to come?"
