Start with Island Lord

If the dungeon of Maple Leaf Castle is like an underground tomb, then the dungeon of Crescent Castle is simply hell on earth!

The air is full of rotten and stinking smells, and rotten debris, dried blood, and maggots can be seen everywhere.

There are also many big, slick black rats.

These rats have red eyes and black and yellow teeth. When they see people, they not only don’t run away, but also squeak excitedly.

Obviously, they have long been accustomed to eating human flesh.

"With such a ghost place under my feet, I can’t sleep well at night."

Rosen decided that after dealing with Sir Alais, he would completely close the dungeon. This underground space is not small and can be completely recycled.

Back to the topic.

He used a floating spell on himself, and his eyes swept through the cells like graves, looking for the imprisoned knights.

He saw many prisoners dying.

There might be some real villains who could be locked up in the castle dungeon at this moment, but there must be many loyal followers of the old baron.

There was no time to save them for the time being, so Rosen cast a low-level healing spell and water condensation spell on everyone to keep them alive first, so as not to die.

Soon, he saw the target of this trip.

It was a man in his early thirties, with a square face, a tall figure, long arms and legs, and he looked very honest.

At this moment, his eyes were closed, his lips were chapped, his face was as pale as a corpse, and he was wearing a bloodstained prison uniform. The exposed skin was blue and swollen from the cold, and his wrists were weak and drooping, and his legs were twisted and deformed.

Looking closely, Rosen found that the man's tendons were cut and his thigh bones were broken.

If it weren't for the intermittent breathing, he would be no different from a corpse.

"Hey~ I don't dare to kill him on the spot, so I'll torture him to death little by little afterwards. When he dies, those Crescent Knights will almost adapt to the new order. Who will really stand up for a stubborn knight who died?"

If he were on Earth, Kaudrin would be completely useless.

But this world has magical healing spells.

As a very cautious wizard, how could Rosen not study healing spells?

In the Natural Alliance, the healing spells of the natural system are the most diverse and the most effective, especially for external injuries. As long as they are not dead, they can be pulled back.

But the natural system is the specialty of the Temple of Nature, and it is not passed on without formal teaching.

With the attitude of "respecting ghosts and gods but keeping a distance", Rosen did not study natural spells.

He chose the "Life System" and "Pure Water System" which are slightly less effective, and combined the strengths of the two systems to create several very effective healing spells.

Although Kaudrin's injuries are serious, he can use the powerful five-ring healing spell "Light of Levin" for treatment.

From the name of the spell, we know that this is exclusive to Puppet No. 1, and Puppet No. 2 can't do it.

The good news is that No. 1 Levin has been nearby to escort.

After a while, Levin arrived at the dungeon.

After he silently cast the spell for about ten seconds, he gently tapped the staff in Kaudrin's mouth and poured a large ball of fiery red crystal light liquid into it.

Then it floated away.

Look at Kaudrin again.

I saw this ball of strange light liquid go all the way down from his mouth into his body, and then quickly turned into countless fiery red rays, rushing to his limbs.

Immediately afterwards, his thin body became full at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his deformed hands and feet also returned to their original state with the help of the deformation power.

About ten minutes later, Kaudrin exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.

At first, his eyes were a little hazy, and his eyes turned blankly, and then he saw Rosen, and his expression suddenly condensed.

"Lord?"

He woke up suddenly, stood up, and stared at Rosen with the dim light of the light spell.

After looking for three seconds, he recognized Rosen's identity: "Master, is it you?!"

He was excited, and his eyes were full of disbelief and awe when he looked at Rosen.

Obviously, he was also deeply influenced by Rosen's "leadership skills".

Rosen was also relieved: "It's me."

The old baron said in the letter that Codlin was the son of a farmer, but he was determined to become a knight since he was a child. He taught himself martial arts during the slack season and achieved some success.

So he promoted him to a personal guard.

When he was in a good mood, he would occasionally give him some pointers, but he didn't expect that this man would make rapid progress with his outstanding efforts and good talent. When he was 25 years old, he became one of the three knights of Crescent City.

He was outstandingly talented and had a tough and simple character. He was the most trusted and trusted subordinate of the old baron.

Now it seems that he has not failed the old baron's trust.

And at this moment, he is the sword that the old baron left for Rosen.

Kaudrin then discovered the changes in his body. After a quick check, confusion appeared on his face: "My body. My hands. My legs."

Rosen explained: "I brought healing potions to cure your injuries."

Kaudrin knelt down on the ground after hearing this: "Thank you for saving my life, young master, but young master, you shouldn't have risked coming back, and you shouldn't have wasted such a precious potion on me."

Rosen didn't argue with him, and said directly: "Kaudrin, I need you to help me take back the Crescent Castle."

Kaudrin was stunned: "Young master, just us?"

Rosen shook his head: "No, there is a group of powerful warriors lurking outside the castle, but the castle is strong and it is difficult to attack. We must find a way to open the gate and cause internal strife in the castle."

Codling immediately understood the current situation and said in a solemn voice: "Master."

Rosen corrected: "In Dawn City, I have been canonized as a new baron by the Duke."

Codling was not surprised at all. He was already impressed by Rosen's leadership image.

He immediately changed his story: "Lord, Hansk and Goodman are traitors to Crescent City, and there are at least ten Crescent Knights following them."

He skipped the question of ‘whether to do it or not’ and directly discussed ‘how to do it’.

Rosen immediately asked: "Why did they betray? Did my father treat them badly?"

Codling shook his head: "No, Hanske was probably held hostage, and Goodman was incited."

"Who instigated it? Alais?"

Kaedlin shook his head again: "No, it's a powerful forest spirit in the forest."

"I don't know who this forest elf is, or whether he is a male or female, or which forest elf tribe he belongs to. The information I know so far is all revealed by Alais on his own initiative."

"He said that this forest elf is very powerful and terrifying. He is a terrible master of witchcraft. The result of fighting against him is death."

Rosen's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this: "Interesting~~"

He almost immediately remembered the strange metal power he felt on Longmian Snow Peak.

Witchcraft is the name given to many ancient spells, referring to some primitive spells with vague principles and mysterious principles.

Currently, most of the original witchcraft has been broken by modern mages.

Without Long Mian Xuefeng's abnormal power, Rosen would never have taken this witchcraft master to heart.

But now, we have to be more cautious.

After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask: "Is there any other information about this master of witchcraft?"

Kaedlin nodded: "This master provided a potion called 'Dragon's Blessing'."

"After drinking it, not only will your strength be immense, your body will be as strong as steel, and your skin will be as tough as the legendary dragon skin. That night, I slashed with my battle ax with all my strength, but I could only leave a scratch on Alais's neck. Light traces of blood.”

Codling is a high-level peak power, and he can only barely break through the defense by killing with all his strength.

This potion is really powerful.

Rosen immediately asked: "Apart from Alais, do other knights have this potion?"

"Yes. Goodman and Hanske also have them. But I have been locked up for too long, so I don't know about the others."

This information was so critical that Rosen immediately secretly ordered Laifu.

‘Let No. 1 steal a bottle of Dragon’s Blessing and try to dispel the effect. If the effect can be dispelled, give up and continue stealing. If it cannot be dispelled, steal all potions. ’

‘Order received. ’

Meanwhile, Rosen gave Codling a vague explanation.

"I didn't sneak in alone, there are several powerful spies. I have already passed on the information about the potion to the spies. Let's wait for the news first."

Cowderin didn't understand the principles of magic at all, so he nodded in awe after hearing this.

About ten minutes later, Rosen received new information from Laifu.

"The principle of the potion is unknown and cannot be dispelled. All finished products have been stolen, the quantity is 20."

Rosen thought he was lucky: "This master of witchcraft really has a unique skill."

It was a good thing that he came to rescue Codling first, otherwise 20 invulnerable and powerful barbaric warriors appeared during the capture of the castle. Even if he won the final victory, he would have suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, they brought Levin and disarmed the opponent in advance.

He turned to Codling and said, "Okay, the spies have stolen all the potions. How is your health?"

Kaedlin patted his chest hard: "Lord, I'm feeling very well now. Just give me the order."

Rosen was very happy: "Very good."

"First of all, we need to call for a group of loyal Crescent Knights. Do you have any candidates?"

"Yes, but how can we find them quietly?"

"I know the invisibility spell."

"That's no problem."

Kaedlin stood up immediately: "Lord, let's go and gather the warriors."

He walked towards the exit of the dungeon first and said as he walked: "Ales is a scoundrel. Many brothers are dissatisfied with him. But because there is really no hope, they have to choose to surrender."

"Now that the lord is back, you don't look as mediocre as the legends say~ Lord, I don't mean to belittle you, it's really because your reputation on the island was not good before."

"I understand that it did take me a long time to learn spells, but this is because the field of spells is too profound."

Kaedlin's face showed deep curiosity: "Erudent? Does the lord want to read many, many books?"

"Yes. Lots of books."

He asked: "Are there as many as twenty books?"

Books are rare things on the island, and Kaudlin has only seen three books since he was a child.

For him, twenty books is already a very large number.

Rosen couldn't help but laugh: "It's far more than 20 books, but 561 books, totaling 16.92 million words."

This is the number that I personally read intensively. If you include the ones scanned and recorded in the database by Laifu, the number is frightening.

"hiss"

Calderin's mouth was open and he could hardly close it, and the awe in his eyes overflowed.

While talking, the two came to the exit of the dungeon, which was the warden's room.

The door was ajar, and there were four people inside, a warden, two jailers, and a shivering young maid.

Only one skirt was seen among the four of them, and it was worn on the maid.

"Who is this guy?"

"He is a close associate of Alais, there is no need for us to be alarmed."

Before he finished speaking, the dagger on Rosen's leg flew into the room automatically, and there were only a few "puff puff puff~" sounds of the sharp blade entering the flesh.

When Kaudrin followed in, three of the four were dead, each with a knife in the back of the head, and the maid fainted on the ground.

"Knight, put on the warden's equipment quickly."

Kaudrin was secretly shocked by the young lord's methods, but his hands moved quickly and quickly put on the warden's equipment.

Among them was a pair of pig leather boots, which were the same pair he wore before.

Soon, Kaudrin got a rusty iron sword, a thick leather shield, and a worn leather armor, which increased his confidence a lot.

"Lord, even if the truly loyal brothers have surrendered, they will not be reused. They are either patrolling or standing guard. We have to go to the edge of the castle to find them."

Rosen was naturally not as familiar with the interpersonal relationships between island knights as Kaudrin, so he naturally listened to the expert's advice at this time.

"You lead the way, we will go there in stealth."

So, Codlin took Rosen and quietly gathered allies in the Crescent Castle.

Just as they were quietly moving, Ales suddenly felt a little inexplicably flustered.

He immediately found his magic expert: "Makanha, I feel something is wrong, let's do a fortune telling."

Makanha shrugged: "Lord, I did it early this morning, and everything is normal today."

Ales became more and more annoyed: "Just do it if I ask you to, hurry up."

"Okay, as you wish."

Makanha took out the divination tortoise back and dice, and after saying a lot of divination words, he threw the dice into the tortoise back.

"Lord, look, three sixes, today is a rare good day."

"I don't believe it, come again."

Makanha had to come again: "Still three sixes."

Ales was getting more and more panicked. He turned around like a trapped beast and suddenly shouted to his confidant: "Go, bring my sister and niece to me!"

"Yes, Lord."

The confidant went over immediately. About a quarter of an hour later, he hurried back: "Lord, it's bad, the people are gone."

Ales stood up in shock: "What do you mean? It's fine, how could it be impossible to find it?"

The confidant was also confused: "I just can't find it, I searched every corner, but it's not there, as if it was eaten by a dragon."

Ales was angry and shocked, and a light suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Has the eldest son of the baron come back?! And sneaked into the castle?"

Thinking of this, he decisively ran into the room to get the potion.

As a result, when he took it, he found that the potion he relied on most was gone.

He shuddered with fear and almost peed his pants on the spot.

When he turned around, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Enemy attack~~~~"
