There were more than three hundred knights, all of them donned in metal armor and had strict discipline. They were not like the decorative vases that Grimm had seen in the circle of nobles, or the so-called knights that wandered on the tip of a knife in a cheap tavern.
If he had to describe them, these knights were like an army.
Based on what Grimm knew, not only the entire Eastern Coral Island, but most of the surrounding areas of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings were ruled by nobles who were descendants of sorcerers.
It was unimaginable that these nobles, who were greedy for pleasure, would want to form a disciplined army.
After all, no matter how strong a knight army was, it was no different from a piece of paper in front of a sorcerer. In the eyes of these descendants of sorcerers, it was a hopeless act.
Anna's cloudy eyes flickered as she stole a glance at Grimm, hoping to see some emotions from Grimm's eyes that were staring at the ground beneath the Mask of Truth.
"Did … Lefay do all this?" Anna asked.
Grimm looked at the cheering commoners on the street and shook his head, "I don't know, maybe."
Maybe …
The prosperity and happiness on the surface was just a cover for the true evil.
After all, even the most experienced Dark Sorcerer would have to expend a lot of materials to collect the Despair of Humans.
Myna had jumped from Grimm's shoulder to the old sorceress's shoulder after being pampered by Nina York. At this moment, Myna snickered, "Caw caw, Master, why don't I go and check it out first?"
Grimm's gaze shifted from the cheering people to the captives who were tied up by the knights, and gradually disappeared into the most magnificent castle in Bi Seer City.
The closer he got to the truth, the calmer Grimm felt.
Grimm ignored Myna. He turned around and looked in a direction outside the city, recalling the warm home that once belonged to him in his blurry memories.
"Whether the owner of the city is Lefay or not, let's not disturb the peaceful life of the people here. Let's go and take a look at it at night. As for now … "
Anna was surprised, "Your family is dead anyway, why do you still care about the thoughts of these commoners?"
Grimm did not answer Nina's question. Instead, he flew toward the place in his memory.
After a while.
Grimm and Anna of York landed on a muddy path. This was the path that the villagers outside the city trod for a long time on their way to Bi Seer City.
There were no pedestrians on the path. Grimm did not mind landing on the ground, allowing the mud to stain his shoes. Grimm seemed to be enjoying it. He even used the tip of his foot to rub the soft soil, recalling the happy days when he followed Old Ham to drive the carriage.
Anna of York floated a distance away from the ground, as if she was disgusted by the muddy ground beneath her feet.
"If you don't mind, you'd better come down."
Grimm casually opened the Dimensional Gap and pulled out two civilian clothes from a large pile of clothes. He then threw one of them to Anna.
These clothes were items that Grimm had prepared for the possibility of casting the Dissimilation Spell in the future.
Anna sighed as she stepped on the muddy ground. She took the clothes that Grimm handed over and quickly changed into them without saying a word.
"Quack? Young Master … "
After Grimm had changed his clothes, he threw Myna into the Dimensional Gap and walked along the muddy path with Anna.
Two hundred years was enough to change the layout of the village in his memory.
Grimm vaguely remembered that when he and Old Ham lived in the village, there were only about thirty or forty families, and they were scattered on both sides of the Karez Ravine. It was rare for them to live next to each other.
But now, a village with hundreds of families living close to each other had completely replaced the empty ditch in his memory.
Perhaps it was because strangers rarely entered the village. Under the setting sun, the elderly who were sewing and peeling beans stared at Grimm and Anna York.
Grimm and Anna ignored them and walked past two farmers who had just returned from plowing the fields. Grimm was stunned by the scene in front of him.
It's still here?
And it's being protected?
Grimm stood there in a daze, looking at the dilapidated stone house in front of him. At this moment, he actually felt a lump in his throat.
This stone house and that old horse were the most precious things to Old Ham.
Old Ham, who had painstakingly saved up two gold coins, had made up his mind to find a wife for Grimm after the house was renovated in the spring. That way, he could fulfill his wish of having a grandchild. But in the end …
He was so close!
In the end, Old Ham did not fulfill his wish. He had been poor and tired all his life. Before he died, he still could not hold a grandchild in his old age and enjoy the warmth and joy of life.
Very quickly, Glenn rubbed his eyes as if he was absent-minded, concealing the trace of weakness in his heart at the moment.
"Is this where you used to live?" Anna York asked.
Although the stone house was extremely dilapidated, it was supported and protected by neat wooden supports. It looked so strange.
Creak.
The wooden door opened. The simplest furniture in the room was there. Grimm walked to the bed where he used to sleep every day. The bedding had disappeared.
Grimm wiped his finger on the bed board. There was only a thin layer of dust. It seemed that someone often came here to clean and tidy.
Puff …
Glenn's melancholy gradually subsided. He took a deep breath of the air in the room, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. It was as if Glenn could smell the years of Old Ham and himself, as well as the pleasant and pleasant scent.
Puff …
After exhaling, Grimm turned to Anna York and smiled. "It seems that Lefay is back."
…
Late at night, the dark and quiet sky was dotted with stars. A crescent moon showed a mysterious curve.
She had long black hair that was straight and smooth. It was as if she had blended in with the night. Her white and tender skin was like pure white snow, untainted by dirt. Her tall and graceful figure was like a gift from nature. Her bright red lips were like the temptation of the devil.
It was as if this was a picture of a young girl in the prime of her youth blooming in her most beautiful time. It made one's heart palpitate with eagerness and joy.
But …
"Ah … You old monster, evil Dark Wizard, I won't let you go even if I die!"
The flickering firelight made the projection of the blood-soaked shackles become longer and shorter. The mournful wails sounded like the chanting of the devil. The cold and damp stone walls were dripping with dew. The captives in prison uniform were filled with fear and despair as they looked at the black eyes that were like the abyss in front of them.
"Huh? Do I need to increase the degree of despair? "
The slender white fingers slowly pulled out the steel needle from the captive's body. With a flash of silver light, one of the captive's fingers fell off.
"Ah …"
In the mournful scream, the captive looked at his fallen finger.
Finger, fell off? I'll be a cripple in the future …
A trace of despair appeared, and the captive, who was in extreme physical and mental pain, shed tears.
"Yes, that's it."
The young girl said calmly. A malignant tumor covered by the hair at the back of her head jumped slightly. Then, the young girl started to bandage the captive's wound.
The Dark Wizard's collection of despair was not like the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers in the Otherworld, who killed to collect it.
In the eyes of the Dark Sorcerers, normal humans who had obtained the despair of humans were a precious and renewable energy source. Until the day when the Dark Sorcerers dismantled the collection device and the despair was collected to its limit, the Dark Sorcerers would allow them to die.
The Dark Wizard's laboratory was really a hell that made people despair.
After bandaging the captive's wound, the young girl's calm and indifferent eyes turned to the other cages. One by one, the disabled captives began to cry in despair, waiting for the arrival of the messenger of hell.
These men in their thirties and forties were crying like babies.
Creak!
Suddenly, the steel door of this underground secret room was slowly pushed open. The magic restriction on it flashed slightly and burst like a bubble. Two figures looked in, and their bodies shook as if they were electrocuted.
One of them looked like the most vicious old witch in a fairy tale. She looked at the beautiful girl who was holding a bloody knife tray and said with a trembling voice, "You …"
The other person was wearing a greyish-white spiral mask. His golden hair was scattered, and he was extremely mysterious.
At this moment, the eyes under the mask were slack and moist.
"Lafite … You're really back. That's great … "
Ding!
The bloody knife in the young girl's hand fell to the ground. She covered her face in shame and helplessness, like a child who was caught stealing candy. She looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in the underground secret room.
Tears flowed uncontrollably …
