Three hours before Natha left the village, in the early morning of November 3rd, a secret meeting was held in a manor called "Moloch".
This manor was located in the northern part of Eiffta territory, close to the Lars Mountain Range. The entire territory also belonged to an earl named Owen Britz.
Earl Owen owned a relatively vast land because it was close to the border. He had many knight territories under his command. In terms of military strength alone, he could rank in the top three in the territory. At this time, the meeting in the manor of "Moloch" was presided over by this earl.
The firewood in the fireplace was crackling, but several people sitting in the hall looked cold and serious.
"Revenge is inevitable, but so far, who can tell me … who killed Lord Ansadin?"
"My men have been sent out, but we have lost contact."
"My team is on the way, and we should have the answer soon."
Except for Earl Owen, the other three noble lords in the hall at this time were all barons. Their territories were scattered all over Eiffta, and they had almost no contact with each other. But at this time, they gathered together because of the only thing they had in common.
These four lords were all puppets controlled by Ansadin with the "Soul Extraction Potion".
After staying in the Kingdom of Karen for seventeen years, Ansadin, who had the title of "genius pharmacist", would naturally not only modify Viscount Tranka, but also not only deal with Earl Durant.
After seventeen years of hard work, Ansadin's "infiltration" of the Kingdom of Karen was no longer limited to Eiffta, the Duke's territory. The nobles and other institutions that had contact, contact, and transactions with him had already spread all over the kingdom. If a war really broke out, the "resources" controlled by this necromancer would definitely bring unimaginable damage to the kingdom.
Fortunately, everything was stopped by Roddy now. Although the only "Puppet Lord" had died, as puppets who had signed a soul contract, as long as Ansadin's soul was not destroyed, they still had to continue to fulfill the contract … To put it simply, they had to avenge the "Puppet Lord" Ansadin and continue to carry out their unfinished mission.
Compared to the other nobles who were indifferent and ambiguous, the four lords obviously had no way out. Therefore, the only topic between them was "how to take revenge" —
"Angmar is old and muddle-headed. He doesn't care about Kiger Town. Currently, he has placed all his resources on the western defense line, so now many people are eyeing Teranka's territory."
"Earl Owen, we just received news that … Terra Ka is dead."
"Dead?"
The voice paused for a moment and then heaved a sigh of relief. "Then Keg Town will completely become an ownerless land …"
"There will be many people fighting over it …"
"… Why don't we take this opportunity …"
Although they had become puppets, their brains were as good as before. They were still proficient in conspiracies and political struggles. After a simple discussion, some information was gradually summarized.
"It seems to have something to do with the baron called Sodelor."
"Then check it out. Also, pay attention to the movements of the 'Rose Cross'. They have never concealed their hostility towards the Tasman Kingdom. If these religious lunatics are involved, I'm afraid things will be very difficult."
After talking for a while, they reached a consensus on some issues. The warm fire in the fireplace dispelled the cold, but the nobles with the Heart of the Undead hid their faces under their hoods.
"What are we going to do after the revenge is over?"
Hearing this, a few of their pale faces immediately revealed some bewilderment.
After a brief silence, Earl Owen slowly said, "We will continue Lord Ansadin's research. Whether the results are good or bad, we will report it to His Majesty Augustine."
His voice turned from loud to soft, and then his words were almost inaudible. "Lord Ansadin searched for clues about the 'Charged Crystal' in the Lars Mountain Range. Presumably, His Majesty Augustine also needs this …"
With these words, the remaining lords finally had a backbone. They nodded silently and dispersed in all directions. In the cold air, these nobles who had inherited Ansatine's "last wish" stepped onto the carriages to return to their territories, and began to prepare for their plot …
*****
Time passed. Three hours later, Natha, who had sensed that the atmosphere in the forest was not right, had already left the village and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
The sound in front of her became more and more obvious. Natha clenched the short bow, but a question popped up in her mind involuntarily — "If Roddy was here, what would he do?"
After witnessing Roddy's battle scene, Natha was deeply affected and could no longer avoid this mode of thinking. Even though there was resentment in her heart, she had long been deeply convinced by Roddy's strength. So, Roddy's fighting habits had become a "benchmark" in Natha's subconscious.
She stopped and listened carefully. She heard some familiar sounds in the wind. Natha recalled Roddy's choice, turned around and climbed up the trunk next to her. After the field of vision suddenly widened, she immediately saw the scene in the distance.
However, it was also at this moment that a scream suddenly sounded in the forest. A black shadow descended from the sky at lightning speed, bringing with it a sky full of leaves, and at the same time, it struck a running Wood Elf!
The figure that was sent flying spun and landed on the ground. There was a huge wound on its back that was badly mutilated. Natha focused her eyes and saw that it was Randolf on the ground!
The young hunters from the village were also running towards her. At this moment, they were completely scared out of their wits and ran away from the sudden attack of the black shadow. As the black shadow swooped down again, Natha finally saw clearly that it was a giant black crow with red eyes!
Flying Magical Beast …
In the past, Natha would definitely run as far as she could from such a creature. However, this time, she only hesitated for a second before she dashed towards Randolf's location. She also raised the short bow in her hand and shot three arrows at the black crow.
The arrows that were shot while running were not very accurate, but because of this, the black crow's attention was attracted by Natha. It let out a strange cry and suddenly flapped its wings and flew towards her.
Natha, who was running on a branch that was seven to eight meters high, seemed to be pouncing towards the black crow. However, at this moment, Natha did not feel much panic. She quickly stopped on the thick trunk, nocked an arrow, drew the bow, and took aim.
The black crow could cover a distance of more than 50 meters in less than a second, but Natha completed all the preparations in less than a second. Her fingers pulled the bowstring back and the arrow shot out!
The black crow did not rush around like ordinary magical beasts. After seeing Natha's action, it actually immediately dodged to the side. However, this fell right into Natha's trap. After feinting the arrow, she directly threw away the short bow and pulled out a dagger …
She leaped up, pounced forward, and their figures crisscrossed.
On the ground, Randolf endured the pain that almost made him faint and watched the scene unfold in front of him. Natha, who jumped down from the tree, did not have any buffer along the way. She landed on the ground and rolled a few times before she managed to stop her body. She seemed to be in a slightly sorry state.
