Three or five Black Knights walked under the blazing sun. Although it was already autumn, the weather was still hot, so most of the Knight\'s face was covered in sweat. Apart from Hagrid, the only one whose face was dripping with sweat was Allen, who was disguised. Allen painted his skin black, and his conspicuous silver hair was restrained in a helmet painted with cloud patterns. He rode a black warhorse with a Blood Hidden Heavy Saber wrapped tightly in cloth hanging on one side of the horse.
During the decisive battle between Qianjun and Seguris, the interior of the saber collapsed due to the nine flaming Origin Energy that had been sealed into it. Now that there was only half of the black heavy saber left, Allen could only put it away and bring it back to Earth to see if there was any way to repair it.
Right now, he only had Xue Yin by his side. Even if Xue Yin did not inject Origin Energy into this killing weapon, it would still faintly emit killing intent. Allen had to constantly comfort the warhorse along the way, otherwise, the horse would have been frightened and run away long ago.
The four riders following Hagrid were all Dark Thunder Knight. They were also the only four people left after the Viscount\'s Battle. These people were Hagrid\'s trusted aides, so they naturally knew that the seemingly weak soldier was actually Allen. Looking at Allen\'s tanned face without a single drop of sweat, and then looking at the strange saber that was constantly emitting killing intent, the Dark Thunder Knight\'s gaze became somewhat different.
During the lunch break, Hagrid handed Allen a bag of roasted dried meat and his gaze also fell on Xue Yin. "My lord, this saber must have an extraordinary origin. Every time I see it, I can\'t help but think of the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."
"It\'s called Xue Yin. I heard that it was the beloved saber of a famous general of the empire hundreds of years ago." Allen said briefly.
Hagrid sucked in a breath of cold air, "Blood Hidden? It\'s actually the saber of the Blood Lion General? I heard that this saber has been missing for many years. Back then, the Blood Lion General went on an expedition to the Shadow Duchy and did not return in the end. Rumor has it that he died in battle in the Shadow Duchy. The empire had been chasing after this saber to show its respect for the Blood Lion General. However, there were no results, and there were even a few wars that broke out around this saber. In the end, it was still left unsettled. "
"Where did Sir get it?" After saying that, Hagrid felt that he had said something wrong and hurriedly said, "I'm talking too much. Sir, you don't have to answer me."
Allen laughed and said, "It's not a secret. I got this knife from Sir Daniel's secret storage."
"Sir Daniel actually kept this knife?" Hagrid frowned, "Doesn\'t he know that the empire has never given up on pursuing this saber?"
"If that's the case, I'll have to disguise Xue Yin when I get back so that I won't be recognized and get into trouble." Allen did not expect that this blade would be related to the Empire. After all, he was not born in the Empire, so he did not know that Xue Yin had such a past. Allen did not believe that Daniel was unaware of this point. He clearly knew that the imperial family was pursuing Xue Yin, yet he still dared to collect it. This was somewhat unusual.
Moreover, from what Hagrid said, Xue Yin should be in the hands of the Shadow Duchy. So where did Daniel get this saber?
On the other side, facing Lake Portilli, was a dense forest. Across the forest was a small town. The town was not big, and there were hundreds of families living in it. The name of the town was Trisen, and from the room on the highest floor of Unicorn Castle, one could overlook the entire town. Twenty years ago, this town, which had attracted the attention of the Lord, was just a village with a few dozen households.
Daniel grew up in this village.
At that time, there was no castle on Lake Portilli, which Daniel later built for his wife. But before the castle was built, his young wife died after giving birth to Ont.
After that, the village gradually became a town. The paths paved with mud and gravel many years ago had now become roads paved with neat bricks. Those dilapidated wooden houses had also become small buildings of two or three stories tall. After many expansions, the town had a square for assembly, a clock tower, and a fountain with Daniel stone sculptures. Tall shady trees were planted on both sides of the road, and bars and hotels gradually appeared. They made the town bustling.
If Daniel hadn\'t died in battle, Trisen Town might have become a city. Unfortunately, there was never such a thing in life, so when they learned that Daniel had died in battle, the atmosphere in the town was depressed. It wasn\'t until Daniel\'s son, Ante, became the new lord that smiles gradually appeared on people\'s faces. But many people thought that Ante didn\'t have that ability, the boy who inherited his mother\'s weak and docile personality. He could be a poet, a painter, but he would never be a good lord.
However, the world of the Lord was too far away from ordinary people, so far that they could only think about it in their minds. As for who the Lord was, they couldn\'t care less, nor could they interfere. He could only hope that Ante could keep his father\'s business and let everyone live a stable life. That was enough.
It was evening, and a few people wearing cloaks and wrapped their bodies in layers entered the town. Their auras were very obscure, and when they passed by the doors of several houses, the dogs tied to the doors barked at them non-stop. One of them stopped and looked at the dog that was barking the most fiercely. The cloak lit up with a bone-piercing cold light, so the dog suddenly tucked its tail between its legs and lay on the ground, not daring to move at all.
These people entered the Elk Bar.
The owner of the bar was wiping the glasses, and the bartender was lying on the table listlessly. The two soft lumps of meat on her chest were pressed into a fanciful shape, almost jumping out of the loose collar. When the mysterious figures walked into the bar, the boss said without raising his head, "It\'s not open yet …"
Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow flew to the bar in front of him. The boss took a closer look and saw that it was a money bag. Opening it, it was filled with brilliant gold coins. The boss immediately put on a smile and said, "But we always have special treatment for distinguished guests. Damn it, Kelly, why aren\'t you greeting our guests? "
"We want a hidden room." One of the short men said in a hoarse, monotonous voice.
"No problem, please follow me." The bartender stood up. Her movements were so big that her chest was surging.
On the second floor of the Elk Bar were some rooms to meet the needs of the guests. People could have more private exchanges here, or carry out some secret transactions, and could even be used as a place for men and women to seek pleasure. It was still early, and there was no one on the second floor. Kelly led the guests into a relatively spacious room and quickly brought them drinks.
A gold coin fell into Kelly\'s collar. That was her tip.
Such a generous guest was rare. When Kelly left, she did not forget to say to them, "If you have any special needs, you know, I can provide the kind of service that makes people comfortable. As for the price, it is one gold coin per person. If there are more people, the price will be even more. Have a good evening, gentlemen. "
After the door closed, a strange laugh came from inside.
Time passed quietly. When the lights began to light up, another person entered the bar. The boss sighed, "Guest, we … Eh, it\'s you!"
Standing at the door was an old man dressed in neat clothes. Almost everyone in town knew him, because he was the butler who served Daniel all year round. The boss said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I have an appointment. They should be here by now." The old butler whispered.
The boss remembered the strange guests and described them. The old butler nodded and said, "Where are they?"
"I\'ll take you up." Kelly stood up and said, "They\'re on the second floor."
A moment later, the old butler walked into the room. Kelly looked at the table. The wine on the table hadn\'t been touched at all. These people had been sitting there the whole time. What a strange fellow, Kelly thought.
After the bartender left, the old butler sat down. "Why isn\'t Daniel here?" said one of the men on the other side.
"I\'m sorry, Lord Daniel can\'t come. Because he … has died in battle. "
"Died in battle?" The short fellow on the left let out a sharp cry from his hat, "That\'s impossible. Although that fellow isn\'t much, he\'s still a viscount. Only a marquis or a powerful count can kill him. As far as we know, there\'s no such person here! "
"That\'s the truth, my lord. Viscount Daniel was killed by a baron named Allen, "said the old butler in a deep voice.
The man suddenly floated up like a dark cloud, silently crossing the table and landing in front of the old butler. An arm covered in scales stretched out from the cloak and grabbed the old butler\'s neck with a palm with three thick knuckles. The man said coldly, "You\'re lying!"
The old butler\'s face flushed red as he barely squeezed out a few words, "You know I didn\'t."
After looking at the old butler for a moment, the man let go of his hand, causing a violent cough to sound out in the room. When the old butler caught his breath, he asked, "What exactly is going on?"
The process of the matter wasn\'t complicated, so the description only took a little time. After listening to the whole story, the man said in a low voice, "Then we need to get back what we stored with Daniel."
"About this." The old butler smiled bitterly and said, "Sir Allen\'s secret vault was also ransacked by that Sir Allen. Most of the things have been taken away by him."
"What!" The man suddenly stood up, and the shadow of his hat emitted an intimidating light. "Blood Concealment, the Heart of the Fire God, and the Ten Thousand Beast Blood Essence, where are they?"
"They are naturally in the hands of that Sir."
A low roar that sounded like a lion and tiger roared sounded in the room. All the sprinkling cups exploded one by one, and the shattered cup fragments and ale sprayed into every corner of the room. After a long time, the man panted heavily and said, "Then who is the lord now?"
The old butler hesitated for a moment before saying, "It\'s my lord\'s son, Young Master Ante."
