Three days later, Trisen Town had turned into a chaotic whirlpool. The old butler was found dead in Elk Town that night, along with the unlucky bartender, Kelly. Their deaths were terrifying and strange. Especially the old butler. The coroner didn't find even a single drop of brain marrow in his head. They all disappeared completely, as if they had been taken away by something.
The owner of the Elk Bar almost fainted when he heard the news. He never thought that such a terrible thing would happen in his own bar. What followed was Ante's anger. The young youth who had inherited his father's power personally came to town. He was like an angry cub. In Ante's childhood, the most memorable thing was not his father, Daniel, but the old butler.
He was a loyal old man who had always taken care of his daily food and drink, taken care of him when he was sick, and told him jokes when he was unhappy. To Ante, this old man was like his grandfather. His feelings for the butler had long since surpassed that of an ordinary master and servant. Especially after Daniel's death, if it weren't for the old butler silently supporting him, he didn't know if he would have been able to walk over.
However, such a person had mysteriously died in the town.
"Investigate thoroughly, find the murderer!" At that time, Ante was so excited and angry that the corners of his mouth were torn by the roar. These words were roared out with anger and blood, and they echoed deeply in everyone's hearts.
Thus, everything that happened that night was repeatedly pursued. The clues quickly locked onto a few strange adventurers, and the investigator in charge of this matter even found some strange scales in the bar room. From this, it could be concluded that those so-called adventurers might be mutants. However, this led to a bigger problem, because according to the bar owner's description, the old butler was here to meet these mutants.
Ante didn't know why the old butler had dealings with mutants. After further investigation, the owner of the bag shop in the town admitted that a female mutant had bought bread from his shop the night the old butler was killed. Hearing this, Ang Te felt like fainting. Since when did his territory become so open to xenogeneics?
Very quickly, the young lord issued a new order, requesting all members of the Unicorn Knight Squad to move out and find any mutants in the territory.
Of course, Triton Town was affected the most. On the morning of the third day, a group of fully armed soldiers rushed into the town. The leader of the team asked all the residents to gather together for an inventory and interrogate them individually. He did not want to miss a single detail. As a result, the residents of the town were unable to maintain their original lifestyle. That night, a flame suddenly burst forth from the Emerald Mountains.
That was a dark blue flame. It tore through the night sky, rising bit by bit, continuously heading towards the stars that filled the sky. This flame attracted everyone in the town to stop and watch. When an investigation team sent by the Unicorn Legion arrived at the place where the flame appeared, they only found a piece of charred grass.
This was undoubtedly another huge mystery.
Of course, they didn't know that it was the trace left behind by the engine of the starship when it took off.
That fiery light was also reflected in a pair of pupils, a pair of eyes that seemed to be flowing with volcanic lava. Allen narrowed his eyes and looked at the indigo sky in the distance. As for the faint blue flame, it rose diagonally and pierced through the air. Obviously, it was some kind of aircraft that was taking off.
"What's that?" Hagrid walked over. The flames of the campfire caused his pitch-black heavy armor to reflect a heavy metallic luster.
"I don't know either." Allen lowered his head and stirred the campfire with a piece of blackened wood. As a result, sparks floated up from the ball of fire. They were carried up by the wind and dispersed in midair, finally returning to nothingness.
Hagrid stared blankly at the sparks, deep in thought. Then he said, "We can arrive at the Black Iron Castle tomorrow. Lord Allen, it's best if you get the news earlier."
Allen looked at him strangely. Hagrid seemed to be preoccupied. He coughed softly and said, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Hagrid's solemn expression fell like a punctured balloon. He smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't hide anything from my lord."
He sat down and looked at the jumping flames. "After Sir Sharon disappears, his relatives will also be exiled. But I would like to ask my lord to pardon one person. "
"Your sister?"
Hagrid shook his head. "Your Excellency seems to know a lot about me, but it's not her. It's a young man named Bill."
"Who is he?"
"He is one of Sir Sharon's sons. Of course, that's only on the surface. In fact, he is my child. That was the result of a mistake … "Hagrid looked at Allen and saw that his expression was a little strange. He immediately said awkwardly," No, no, no, it's not what you think. That's the child I had with Sir's other wife. "
Allen thought to himself, "It's nothing to let a young man go, but does he know your identity?"
"No, I didn't tell him the truth."
"In that case, he might hate you." Allen stirred the fire and said, "I have a friend whose father disappeared before he was born. His mother told him that if he had the chance, he would help her kill that irresponsible man. But in fact, that man had his own difficulties, but until his friend grew up, he did not appear even once. "
Hagrid listened thoughtfully and did not interrupt Allen.
"But my friend doesn't know his father's difficulties, so you see. No matter what reason you have, you have to stand up and explain everything. Otherwise, isn't it too unfair to that child? "
Hagrid was silent for a while, and Allen did not say anything else. The two of them looked at the campfire and thought for a while. A moment later, Hagrid stood up and bowed to Allen. "Thank you for your reminder, my lord. I will find a suitable opportunity. Although it will cause trouble for Bill, I think he has the right to know the truth. As for whether he hates me or forgives me, let God decide. "
"Hagrid, I have something to say first." Allen raised his head and smiled, "If Bill hates you and wants to kill you, I will stop him. I don't want my sword to be broken by someone else before I can kill the enemy. "
Hagrid took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Hagrid still has a sense of priorities. "
"That's good."
The night was very deep, but no matter how deep the night was, it would still pass. After dawn, Hagrid and the others continued out. An hour before noon, Allen finally saw the destination of the trip.
Black Iron Castle!
The Black Iron Castle was like a pitch-black beast, hibernating under a dark brown mountain range that rose and fell unsteadily. The city walls were ten meters tall. Judging from the scale of the border, the Black Iron Castle could already be called a stronghold. After all, even the defensive walls of Storm City were far from this height. The Black Iron Castle was just like its name, whether it was the defensive walls, city gates, arrow towers, turrets, or the buildings behind them, bell towers, etc. All the buildings were dark. Although they were not completely black, from afar, it looked like a huge meteorite had fallen to the ground and was lying on the ground. As a result, that rough and hard aura pounced on his face, as if the wind blowing from that direction also carried a stinging steel sand.
"In the beginning, the Black Iron Castle was just a larger bazaar. It was far from being a city, let alone its current size." Riding on the warhorse, Hagrid suddenly said, "At that time, Sharon and I were still good friends. We watered this land with our blood and sweat to make it what it is now. I miss the hard times of the past. The process of creation is always hard, but it is very moving. Unfortunately … "
It was a pity that Hagrid didn't say anything, but Allen saw something in his eyes. As the Black Iron Castle approached, that thing was quickly disappearing from Hagrid's eyes. This was a very dramatic scene. In the process, Hagrid changed from an emotional person to an ice-cold machine.
Standing under the city walls of the Black Iron Castle, Allen discovered that the ten-meter-tall defensive wall was so heavy from below. In particular, the stone of the defensive wall was originally rich in black ironstone, so the city wall looked even more powerful. It was like a thousand-meter-long black steel rising from the ground. It could be imagined that this would put a heavy psychological pressure on any attacking soldier.
Outside the city gate was a suspension fence. The fence was welded with steel bars as thick as an adult's arm. On the fence were two suspension cables twisted with steel wires. The sound of rotation axis movement came from behind the city gate, so the fence slowly rose. As the fence rose, the city gate behind it opened from both sides, so Allen saw the plaza behind the gate and a spacious avenue leading into the depths of the city.
The sound of horse hooves rang out in the plaza, and a group of Black Cloud Knight floated over like a dark cloud. The first Knight flew off his horse when he was still ten meters away from Hagrid. His movements were agile and his skills were not bad. He trotted to the horse and immediately said, "Lady Melinda and Young Master Bill are under house arrest!"
Melinda was Hagrid's sister. As for Bill, Allen already knew his identity. Needless to say, the two of them were under house arrest. It was naturally the masterpiece of Sir Sharon. Hagrid's expression changed slightly as he asked, "Where are they?"
"Number 1 Iron Stone Avenue. It is now guarded by Sir's personal guards. Our people are unable to approach."
