"The ice is melting," she said.
Rego turned around and saw the solid fountain outside the window regaining its dynamics and falling back into the well with broken ice cubes in it. Some magics have a time limit, but he is not sure whether this is the actions of his companions or the movements of his enemies.
As he was thinking, the weapon was already in his hand. "Please follow me closely, Lady Saint." He ordered, "I must find out the situation."
"I can definitely leave, the problem is them." The Blue Saint raised her chin and motioned to the prisoners on the floor. "Maybe it's the reinforcements from these people. Can you handle them all by yourself?"
He wants to say he can, but boasting doesn't help the truth. It is said that the power of the first source far exceeds that of the mysterious creatures of the same level. Rego has not yet had the luck to meet the high-level first source. The Society is a group of low-level mystics who don't need to be dealt with by the noble Knights of Silversong. However, Rego became a knight less than two years ago. In every war before the Holly Agreement, he defended it as the "victor". Spent by Lonka's attendants. The legion commander is a fearless warrior. No enemy can escape under his command, and naturally it is not Rego's turn to take risks. To be honest, the journey should have been uneventful until the missionary informed him of Orcus's death.
The Silver Song Knight is not afraid of any enemy, Rego told himself repeatedly. He wears silver armor, which means that enemies should in turn fear him. In the swordsmanship competition in the imperial capital, Rego won the first place that year, even the real Silver Song Knight was ashamed. In the end, Sir Veronka, who was the deputy leader at the time, personally accepted him as a squire, and the others The contestants became knights of the common legion. Rego believed that it was impossible to win this honor simply by being an illegitimate son of a noble. It was a story he was proud of, but it was clear that telling it to his enemies would not prevent a life-and-death fight.
Rego did not lack a sense of honor. He knew that his fate would probably end on the battlefield. No legion in the Imperial Army has a battle loss rate comparable to that of the Silver Song Knights. Sooner or later I will have to fight alone, he thought to himself, even if he faces an enemy that is stronger than normal. But this thought did not prevent him from fear. For many moments, he fantasized about bugs eating away at his internal organs.
"I am not alone," he answered. "Lord Sterling is in the basement. He is the wizard of the Temple."
"Zorman too, but you didn't have any hope for him. And where is the astrologer?"
Rego still felt annoyed when Du Yilin was mentioned. Orcus died through despicable means, and they had to catch the murderer through Anais, and she didn't care. Although the poison is like a dagger in the chest, Captain Joey's magic is enough to last them until the end of the world. Is there anything more absurd and ignorant than executing prisoners without distinguishing between right and wrong? No more evidence is needed as to the true face of astrologer indifference.
Orcus was not his friend, but he also wore silver armor, so the need to catch the murderer was unquestionable. Du Yilin is not a Silver Song Knight, she doesn't understand.
"Without your trouble, my lord," he said firmly, "please follow me."
By the time he dragged the prisoners to the door, the candles in the corridor had been extinguished. The light shuttled between the shadows of the trees, and very little fell on the floor tiles. The corridor looked dark and ominous, let alone the stairs leading underground. Rego couldn't help but turn his head and glance around. The corner was empty, and the servants suffered heavy casualties. Those who were lucky enough to be alive were frozen in the hall, even the cook from before. If he wasn't being followed, it could only be an enemy coming in from the well. After so long, the other party should have sneaked into the manor long ago.
"There's no one behind you." The voice startled him. The Cang Saint spoke like a ghost.
"how do you know?"
"The grass and trees are my ears. Are you afraid?"
This woman wants to have fun with me. "Please stay quiet, Lady Saint." Rego hid his expression behind his visor, "Otherwise I will offend you."
"Uril said that it would be an offense to you to dress like this. Don't Aurenian women wear trousers?"
"Of course not, noble ladies all ride horses. There is no need to discuss this now."
"When is it necessary?"
Wait until the sun goes out. "Please be quiet, my lord." He emphasized. At this time, they had arrived underground. The door at the end of the corridor was half open, and the candlelight filtered through the gap, but the light was reflected in all directions. After walking a little further, Rego saw clearly a large mass of blood stains solidified on the carpet. The Cang Saint finally shut up.
"Victor" Veronca has not coached Rego, he has too many things to deal with. And Rego doesn't need anyone's guidance - the winner of the swordsmanship competition is already qualified to become a knight, except for the Knights of Silver Song. His Royal Highness MacAdam, the heir to the crown of Aurenia, was once the attendant of Prince Veronca. It was obvious that he did not study to become a knight. Rhaego didn't have to take care of his master's mount or repair his armor. The only trouble he had was dealing with visiting guests. Before Princess Helen married the legion commander, girls all over the country daydreamed about him. Rego had already found a way to deal with women, causing them to hit the wall one after another. So Princess Helen transferred him from the prince's staff and asked him to be her bodyguard.
Unfortunately, times change. When the "Victor" sent his trusted knights to guard the envoys of Saint Valoran, his wife did not insist on keeping Rhaegal. The Templar sent Rhaegal to a younger knight, who assigned him to guard the hostages. To be honest, this is not an easy job, and the importance can be seen. However, the Silver Song Knight galloping on the battlefield to do the work of a jailer is inevitably overqualified.
Of course, Joey, Orcus and Bogart are all Knights of Silver Song, no different from Rhaego. After the Holly Agreement was signed, the legion commander assigned some of his subordinates to the Mercury Temple and handed them over to the Archbishop of the Empire. A truly outstanding Knight of Silver Song would not serve as a bodyguard for a monk, Lei Ge decided, until he himself became the bodyguard of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Later, when he heard the bearded old knight Bogart and Joey mention the war in the forest, he realized that he was not the only one facing such a dilemma. Templar wizards are not members of the royal family and should not be guarded by Silversong Knights...
...but he must obey orders.
Bernard Sterling was behind the door, and Rego saw the vague shadow of a woman, probably Dui Lin. The domineering tower messenger is indeed here. Joy doesn't allow her to take the captive to offer to the wizard, and they almost fight. But considering that one side was almost unaffected by the poison, while the other side needed to be on guard at all times, Du Yilin refused such an unfair duel. Rego felt that if it were him or Bogart, the woman would definitely come up to snatch the "trophy" without saying anything. Prisoners who failed to please Bernard—such as Jayne Hesser, who had not yet woken up—were abandoned by her.
It's amazing that she didn't ask the wizard for help loudly. Rego heard someone speaking. The tone and enunciation of the words were clearly distinguishable, but the words were connected together but he couldn't understand them at all.
The wizards of the temple are all knowledgeable people, and it is not surprising that they can speak several foreign languages. Rego once expected to join the army and go to the north to drive out the forest races, so he also taught himself Elvish language for a period of time. Imperial officers are not uneducated. However, peace came too quickly, and now that he was used to riding a horse and holding a sword, he could only barely pick out more familiar syllables from the other party's short and jumping sentences. And without exception, they all have no elegant meaning. It was not Dui Lin, but Zorman, who was also a Templar wizard, would never dare to speak ill of Lord Sterling.
"Selegon doesn't have anyone like that, does he?" the wizard said.
"Nightingale didn't notice it."
"Are they looking for us?"
"It's not written on him."
"You let him escape, otherwise you can pry his mouth open. It seems that as soon as you leave the imperial capital, your chance of missing out increases greatly."
A series of strange, unclear syllables seemed to be a violent response to the reproach.
"Of course I don't care. But problems always arise in times of need, and lo and behold, my cauldron was smoking."
"..."
"Orcus behaves like someone from Veronka. After all, His Royal Highness has always been curious about the content of our experiments." Bernard Sterling's voice remained unchanged. "You want me to think that? If he hadn't suddenly died outside the door, maybe I would have believed it. To be honest, he scared me."
"This surprise is not for you. The tower chased the origin everywhere, and their actions went too far, so the prey decided to fight back."
"Does this bother you?" the wizard asked, "Facing the counterattack of the rat and the salmon, what do you think the cat will say?"
"I thought you were going to say 'meow'."
Bernard ignored the sarcasm. "Some of your words are in vain, I know that very well. But if you still want to have some say in the disposal of those 'materials', don't hinder other people's tasks. I'm fed up with your third-rate general Talked."
Another messy foreign vocabulary. Rego realized he was eavesdropping. He completely forgot to reach out to push the door open, and instead tried to hear more secrets outside. But a slight friction sound came from behind.
"The language of fairies, this is really rare."
"Who?" He actually jumped up. The pupils of the Blue Saint seemed to glow in the dark, and she looked very terrifying. The woman glanced at Rego and said, "It's me. Who else could it be?"
"I thought..." he quickly corrected himself, "keep quiet."
"late."
The door to the room flew open and Joey stood in front of them. Because he was too close, Rego had to take two steps back. "Sir." His voice was much higher due to surprise, "Are you back?"
