Soul of Burning Steel

In the east of the city, at the corner of an alleyway, there is an inconspicuous small door. This door is so hidden that as long as it is not opened, almost no one can find it. But now, the door has been opened. And there were voices of people talking behind the door.

"Joshua...my lord, have you really killed Moze?"

Nolan, a gray-haired and purple-eyed stalker, is one of the next generation heirs of the Wilson family. Originally, this winter, a girl of her age should stay in her own small manor, enjoying the warmth of the fireplace and hearty food, but due to Due to the mindless behavior of her family brother, she was forced to come to the main city of Moldavia, enduring the cold wind and blizzard to detect intelligence, and even stayed in a small room... Facing the situation in front of her monster.

"I don't think a person who has been cut in half can still live. Ah, then again, your elder brother is indeed not weak, and his dying punch is quite heavy."

In front of him was a tall man with black rough long hair and black and red eyes with no expression on his face. Although he was not handsome, he still had the unique charm of a hard-lined man. The man named Joshua Every word and deed is like a heavy drum and hammer, bringing a breathless force. He turned his eyes and looked directly at the girl's eyes. There was no warmth in the eyes, only the sharp and cold coercion like steel: "Chris Man, didn't you bring him to this safe house?"

After speaking, he folded his hands on his chest, waiting for the stalker's answer.

"No, no, he, yes, left by himself."

Feeling sincere fear, Nolan felt that her throat was a little dry and her head was in a mess. Under the influence of instinct, she subconsciously scanned the surroundings. This is the safe house she specially selected. It is hidden and unobtrusive, and it is very suitable for Escape, the window behind her, and the fireplace on the left can escape from this room with a light bump, and then she only needs to use the skills of [Existence Disappearance], [Human Concealment], and [Deep Stealth]. Escape from birth.

"say."

The two words lightly shook Nolan's eardrums, causing her consciousness to return to her body, and the somewhat shattered rationality stimulated by fear also re-condensed, and the girl who came back to her senses couldn't help sighing—the idea was good, but Facing a gold-ranked fighter who is also a powerful fighter who can kill another gold, as long as she dares to make the slightest movement, her head will be smashed to pieces in the next instant.

She's still young, and she doesn't plan to change her job as a Headless Horseman, so let's talk about it.

"About two and a half hours ago, Chris seemed to have received some magical text message, and then he insisted on leaving—I didn't have any position or reason to stop him, so he went, but he left you a little A letter, just put it on the table next to it, I haven't read it or touched it."

"Another letter."

Under Nolan's careful watch, the black-haired soldier didn't know why his mood became worse. He frowned, walked to the table and picked up the letter: "Brother, since you didn't target me, I didn't It’s inexplicable why he’s running so fast to kill him.”

That's right, sir, you didn't intend to kill me, but my legs are still weak when I talk to you!

"According to what he said casually, there should be some problems with the chamber of commerce and the alchemy workshop in the southern part of the empire, and that's why he left in such a hurry..."

Regretted in his heart, he explained cautiously. Nolan suddenly felt that Chris, an alchemist, was worthy of being a spellcaster. His IQ was indeed higher than hers. He knew how to find a reason to leave early while taking advantage of the chaos, while he stayed in the safe house foolishly. Just don't know how to go, so stupid.

"Forget it, his business doesn't matter."

Putting the letter in his chest, Joshua turned to look at the gray-haired stalker, showing a smile that was definitely not kind: "Next, let's talk about the Wilson family's support for my dead uncle, which caused the Lord The city suffered a huge loss."

"this……"

"If you don't want to be knocked at the door by me, you'd better think carefully before speaking. Alright, Miss Nolan, let's sit down and talk."

==========================

Starfall 831, November 6th in winter, Black Forest Fortress, a rare sunny day.

The winter sun is not considered warm, but at least it can bring a little heat. For the knights on guard and patrolling, it is indeed a good weather.

But in the meeting room of the fortress, it was completely different from the outside, filled with an embarrassing silence.

This is a room made of white rocks. The hall is covered with black and gold spaced carpets. A long conference table made of brown pine wood is placed in the center. Several powerful knights in armor sit around the table. Everyone They all bowed their heads in silence.

"Silver Knights, fifty-five people, elite Northern War Cavalry, one hundred and twenty people."

On the left side of the conference room, someone finally broke the silence. It was a tall soldier wearing a masked helmet, his voice was blocked by the helmet, and he seemed a little dull. , fully armed, fully prepared, ready to go at any time."

"There are sixteen members in the mage group, including nine priests of Yaoling, six silver mages, and one is a frost warlock."

The second person who spoke was the white-haired old man on the right side of the conference table. He wore single-frame glasses and held a magic copper staff. He looked fierce. He looked more like a warrior than a wizard at first glance. It leaked from between the teeth: "The trigger scrolls are all full, blasting out can at least knock down a city wall."

"Kiely, Feng, what are you two old men talking nonsense, talk to me in a human way!"

There was a heavy slap on the table, and at the front of the conference table, a blond middle-aged knight snorted angrily, and said loudly: "It doesn't matter how much you have prepared, you don't need any of it now! The movements are so slow, everyone is ashamed to get paid, Ashamed to claim allegiance to the old lord!"

"Sorgen, don't think that you are the chief of the fortress, so I dare not do anything!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the masked knight showed no sign of weakness. He slapped the table and stood up, pointing at the middle-aged blond knight's nose and angrily said: "Aren't you the one who ordered the decision to see the situation first? Now you are pretending to be foresight, what are you doing?" You could have sent troops to fight back the main city at that time!"

"That's right, you guys, don't think that I can't do it because I'm a mage. I, Von Lawrence, put the words here today. There is no fucking man in the North who can't hold a sword. Why don't you explain clearly to us? Now go outside to single out!"

The white-haired mage threw away his staff and rolled up his mage's robe, revealing a strong arm full of scars and wounds. Looking at the muscles, at least it can kill a bear with bare hands. This evoker and part-time berserker has the characteristics of the Northland Without saying a word, the mage summoned a Pyroblast in his hand, as if he was about to throw it out at any moment.

The meeting room suddenly turned from extremely quiet to extremely active. Seeing that the three fortress managers were about to fight a duel in the meeting room without saying a word, their subordinates who had long been accustomed to it immediately stepped forward and stopped the three battlers. Racially born guy, bursts of good words to persuade.

After a while of tossing, the three highest officials of the fortress, the chief of the defense, the mentor of the mage group and the head of the knight group, all vented their emotions and calmed down a little.

"Shame!"

There was another heavy slap on the table. This time it was the white-haired mage named Feng who took the lead. His expression looked very painful: "This is a great shame!"

"As a knight, there is no way to bring glory to the lord, and he lost the main city!"

Although the masked knight couldn't see his face, his voice was extremely regretful: "If the lord is still alive... Ah!"

"You two don't talk too much, who would have thought that Master Joshua... the new lord is so capable of fighting!"

Sighing, the blond middle-aged knight Zorgen also looked puzzled: "It's really strange, the young master, no, the lord, as long as he comes to the Black Forest Fortress, even if he wants to ignore the Kuroshio, we will all be dispatched!" Why did he take down the main city by himself? We didn’t receive any news, if Elson hadn’t sent back the news, we wouldn’t know that the lord has returned from the Black Crow Legion.”

"My lord can easily kill twenty or thirty silver knights by himself, and can take down the main city with one hand. What do you and I want this group of trash to do?"

With a cold snort, Keeley straightened his masked helmet, and said dully: "A knight can't share the Lord's worries, and let the Lord personally face the danger. I am so ashamed now that I want to commit suicide. The Kuroshio is coming quickly, let me kill a few more monsters, and wash away the shame with their blood!"

"Now, let the city guards go back quickly, the main city needs them to maintain order."

The last order puts an end to the discussions and disputes in the conference room,

Similar to the amazement in the Black Forest Fortress, it spread throughout the entire Moldavian territory, and the knights of the territories everywhere, and even the dwarves living in it, were also shocked by the news.
