Probably none of the female knights of the Black Veil Army thought that things would turn out like this. Another female knight who was blocking the door of the dining room was about to draw her weapon when she saw her companion die tragically.
Lin flashed forward and stopped her from drawing her sword. He said, "Don't show any hostility. Calm down and talk. There's nothing that can't be solved. "
Lin stopped one, but he couldn't stop the second or the third. Or rather, he didn't want to stop everyone at all. When another female knight unsheathed her sword and pointed it at him, the dense white light flashed once again! The two who drew their swords and their weapons were cut into pieces. The swords were melted into the furnace as scrap iron. The people didn't even have the chance to use resurrection spells.
Not many people saw how all this happened clearly. Some people even deliberately focused their attention on a certain mage, but they didn't see any signs of magic. In the blink of an eye, things happened just like that.
At this time, Lin slowly said: "I said, don't do it. But you didn't believe it and had to try. Is it difficult to listen to someone a little bit? The protection I set up won't allow you to do whatever you want while protecting you at the same time. Those who violate it will only end up like this. Of course, if you have the strength of Prince Azad, you can survive and jump around complaining that a hair was cut off. "
Someone's sarcastic words were far less terrifying than the fact that two more people had died. This also stopped the others from drawing their swords. Although their faces were covered with veils, Lin could still feel the shock and speechlessness behind the veils.
But surprisingly, Marchioness Barland still didn't react. She didn't turn her head, stand up, or exclaim.
The leader of the guard team, under the gaze of his companions, stood up and questioned a certain mage, "Do you know who you killed?"
Lin tilted his head and pondered for a moment. Then he said, "Well, a bad guest who doesn't know etiquette?"
The female knight paused and said sternly, "They're nobles of the Guevana Empire! You can't offend them as a mage. "
"Oh, then what's their title?" Lin dragged his words and waited for an answer. But there was no answer.
The strict definition of the word 'noble' was that only those with fiefs and titles could be considered nobles. This referred to a person. It was widely known that the members of aristocratic families were also members of the aristocratic class. This referred to a family.
Of course, as long as it was someone at that level, ordinary people could not afford to offend them. This was because after hurting someone, the family members would raise the banner of blood vengeance. No one would protect the person they viewed as their blood enemy. This was a means of deterrence used by the nobles to protect their own families. It was also the reason why most people thought that the noble families were a whole.
But in any case, apart from Marchioness Barran who was sitting quietly, none of the dead people present had an official title.
As a noblewoman, unless her parents didn't give birth to a male heir, only then would she have the chance to inherit the main title. Apart from that, they had to be very favored or had a high status in the family. Only then would they be able to obtain a secondary noble title from their father.
This was because these titles that were given to women from the family would eventually become her dowry and become the property of another family. In order to prevent this from happening too often and weaken the family's power, the female nobility was given with great care. The husband would even deliberately choose the second or third son of a nobleman who didn't have a title. It was similar to a form of marriage, using this as a link between the two families.
But no matter what, without an official title, it meant that she was not protected by the Empire's laws. If a titled vassal was killed, the feudal lord would have the obligation to seek justice for him.
Because if the lord didn't do so, it would be equivalent to violating the lord's contract to protect his vassals and subjects. This would affect the morale of the other vassals. The relationship between the lord and his vassals in the land of mystery was not just blind loyalty. There was a relative responsibility of rights and obligations.
But if one didn't have an official noble status, only the family members had the right to seek revenge. No one else could interfere. It was just like how the vassals of the vassals were not the emperor's vassals. The members of the vassal's family were not the emperor's family. They had no right to use the country's power to suppress their enemies.
If others interfered, they would be seen as meddling too much or there was some unknown and bullsh * t bloodline drama going on. Not only would this be detrimental to the family's reputation, but it would also not be righteous enough in the eyes of others.
As a member of the Black Veil Army, they could seek revenge for their 'comrade'. But it also depended on whether they could win or not …
The female knights of the Black Veil Army of the Guevana Empire were definitely not just for show. Crusading against bandits, magic beasts, and being stained with blood with their own hands were proof that they had completed their knight training. But the person in front of them was a natural disaster of the Empire and a mage who had the ability to stop the magic prince from committing murder. This was not something that could be resisted by human strength.
It was only then that they realized that they had seriously underestimated the mage's strength. But this man didn't even have the title of a great mage.
However, they couldn't back down so easily in terms of momentum, so the leader of the team braced himself and said, "Mage, you have to understand that because our duty is to protect Lady Barran, we can't fight you head-on. You have to account for everything that happened today to the Grand Duke. "
Lin sneered and said, "Have you ever seen a noble speak up for the death of his bodyguard? I've only seen a noble curse the person who died for being weak and regretting how he put his life in the hands of the other party. So do you think that in this matter, the Grand Duke will blame you for not being a good guard, or blame me? I believe that when the Grand Duke understands the cause and effect, he will be even more dissatisfied with your arbitrary actions for bringing Lady Barran into danger. "
Knowing that what the mage in front of her said was true, the female knight still refused to be outdone and said, "The families of the dead comrades will definitely seek revenge on you. Mages don't have the power to kill outside the Magic Tower. "
"That's my problem, not yours. Besides, even in the Magic Tower, if a mage who has the power to kill offends the nobles, will the nobles retreat in the face of difficulties? As long as the situation permits, they will still use all kinds of means to kill the enemy. Therefore, the so-called 'power of life and death' was nothing more than a fig leaf. Tell the world that you can't deal with a mage hiding in the Magic Tower, so you give the other party the power to kill and rationalize the fact that you are incompetent. Strength is the core of all these considerations. "
"You should understand that you will not have peace in the future." The female knight who was wearing a veil and whose expression could not be seen gnashed her teeth and said.
In the face of this level of threat, Lin just wanted to laugh. After transmigrating to the maze, had he ever enjoyed a moment of peace? Earth's society might be cannibalistic, but the situation that normal people would encounter would not be to the point of running for their lives.
In the maze, people would risk their lives for the slightest reason, between people and nature. This kind of precarious life, how to live on tenterhooks, was unimaginable to people who lived in peaceful times.
Now, he was just tired of running and could protect himself without relying on the Magic Tower, which was a super protective shield. That was why he had today's attitude. In fact, he just wanted to protect this small piece of land that could shelter him from the wind and rain. It had been like this since the beginning, and this idea had never changed.
So in the face of the female knight's threat, Lin said with a smile, "Even if there is no peace, it will definitely not be today. Alright, brave and fearless female knights, come if you agree, leave if you don't. Everyone, be a little gentlemanly and part on good terms. Take the marquis that you are supposed to protect and leave my house. As for the remains of those unfortunate people, I will send them to your residences later so that they can return to their hometowns for burial. "
In the face of a certain mage's indifferent attitude, the women of the Black Veil Army seemed to have lost their rationality and began to make a scene. In any case, this mage only said that no violence was allowed, but he did not say that no cursing was allowed. Everyone took on the attitude of a shrew cursing on the street, one after the other, wantonly cursing without any bottom line.
But in the afternoon, a certain someone who was hungry also became a little angry. After reprimanding, he said, "Be clear about whose sky is above your heads and whose ground is under your feet! If I tell you to leave my house, then leave my house. What's with all this nonsense? If you don't want to leave, then please go to hell. If you want to continue cursing, even if you only make a sound, then please go to hell! I will give you an hourglass' worth of time. "Lin took out an hourglass and set it down to start the countdown." When the sand runs out and you still haven't left, then you will still die. "
A female knight who did not believe in heresy put her hands on her hips and just said, "You!" Countless flashes of white light cut her into pieces.
Someone saw this and exclaimed, "Ah!" In the end, the same thing happened again.
Seeing that another two people had died, the remaining female knights covered their mouths tightly and did not dare to make a sound. On the other hand, Azad who was watching the whole show whistled and said, "Wow, is this how civilized people negotiate? I suspect that my definition of civilization is slightly different from your definition of civilization. "
"This is the result of hunger and excessive adrenaline secretion." Lin said in a bad mood. At the same time, he turned his head and ordered his apprentice, "Girl, go and prepare lunch. Prepare more portions. Anger makes me hungrier. "
Looking back again, seeing that the women of the Black Veil Army were still frozen in place, Lin said in an indifferent voice, "The sand in the hourglass is almost gone. If it's gone, none of you will leave. I mean what I say. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the female knights who seemed to have just woken up from a dream hurriedly grabbed Marchioness Barland's hand and ran out. Lin, on the other hand, followed behind them and happily watched the group of women scram.
But just at the door, the marchioness broke free of the guard's hand. Instead of running out of the house like the others, she stayed in the house and looked at the leaving female knights and said, "You can go. I will stay."
