Liszt rushed through the gap in the castle and ran all the way to the back garden of the castle. He used the Eye of Magic but did not find Yevich Waterpeanut.
But under a patch of grapevines, he saw a few servants hiding something.
Liszt sensed that something was wrong. He rushed over and grabbed one of the servants. "Where is Yevich?" Without waiting for the servant to answer, he kicked away the water jar that the servant used to store water. Suddenly, a square well cover was revealed.
"I, I don't know …"
"Stupid!" Liszt threw the uncooperative servant to the stone table. The servant fell on it and rolled on the ground. He could not get up for a while.
Usually, he was not willing to kill ordinary people except for Knight and sorcerers.
War was a game between nobles. Civilians were usually part of the wealth. It was morally unacceptable for a Knight to kill civilians. If the civilians dared to resist, they would be killed. Furthermore, even if there were moral restraints, there would still be knights who would kill indiscriminately in the heat of the moment.
There was no punishment afterward.
For example, now that Liszt had killed all the civilians in Snow Pear Castle, no one would say anything bad about him. However, he was not a tyrannical person. He had some sympathy for the civilians.
Whether a Knight was moral or not.
In the end, it was all about self-restraint and the glorious words of the knight's glory.
Fortunately, Liszt did not need the servant's answer. He kicked open the well cover and quickly jumped down. It was obvious that this cellar was the escape tunnel of the castle. He activated the Dragon's Fighting and took out a crystal lamp. He quickly found the tunnel entrance.
With the protection of the Dragon's Fighting, he was not afraid of the traps in the tunnel. This world had not developed the art of mechanism yet.
Even if there were traps in the escape tunnel, they were very simple killing methods. If there were really magic equipment in the escape tunnel, he could see and crack it with his Eye of Magic.
The tunnel was a little narrow.
Liszt had the crystal lamp to illuminate the tunnel. His vision was not blocked, so he quickly rushed down the tunnel. The tunnel was a little winding, and there was water in many places. He could clearly see fresh, wet footprints.
"It's not the footprints of one person. They are a little messy. It should be Yevich and the three sorcerers' footprints!"
Now that he understood, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Right at this moment, a loud rumble suddenly sounded from ahead.
Then he heard a very faint sound.
It sounded like cursing.
He continued to charge forward.
Soon, at the end of the passageway, three silhouettes could be seen. They were the three Great Mages who had launched the combination magic. Their cursing could be heard clearly, and Liszt quickly understood the reason. It turned out that Yevich had blown up the gate at the end of the passage.
That was to say …
In order to escape, Yevich threw down the three great magicians as bait.
"Stop talking nonsense, Lars. Let's work together and release magic to bombard the top of the passageway to open up a path out!"
"Cyrael, raise the Rock Armor for me. Dulaka, raise the Water Wave Shield for me. I'm afraid I'll be buried if the tunnel collapses again!"
"Don't worry, you won't die!"
The three Great Magicians blocked the passage, trying to think of a way to save themselves.
Unfortunately, before they could release their magic, Liszt had already rushed over to them along the passage. "My friends, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Follow me back to Snow Pear Castle."
"It's you!"
"You shot down Yevich's Knight with one arrow!"
"Sure enough, he's already here, haha."
Liszt stared at the three Great Magicians with his Eye of Magic and slowly approached them. "Since you already know who I am, there's no need to be polite anymore. Follow the passage back to Snow Pear Castle and we'll have a good chat … The Mage on the left, don't secretly gather magic. Your actions can't escape my senses."
The Great Mage who was discovered smiled awkwardly and dispersed the magic gathered in his palm.
When a Mage was approached by a Knight, a very powerful Sky Knight at that, he was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The era of spellcasters had declined — it was said that the Mages of the Moon Empire were very powerful and dominated the continent. Unfortunately, it was the era of the Knight that dominated the continent.
Sometimes, Liszt suspected that the legendary Magic Shooters could fight with dragons. Although they could not defeat the Dragon Knight alone, they were still the representative of the world's peak power.
Why were the Great Mages and Great Mages so weak?
Although they could release powerful magic, they could not show their real fighting ability. Especially the restriction of casting speed, which allowed the Knight to attack the Mages unscrupulously. No matter how powerful the magic was, it was meaningless if it could not hit the Knight. No matter how strong the defensive magic such as the Water Wave Shield or Rock Armor was, it would be broken by the Knight in a short time.
Not to mention that the Knight formed a team, their Fighting Energy could mince the drifting magic and form an anti-magic area, directly destroying the Mages' ability to cast spells.
Looking at the three Great Mages dejectedly walking back along the passage.
Liszt could not help but sigh in his heart. "When I was writing 'Dragons Fight in the Wild', I read a lot of magic books and Knight novels. They all mentioned the glory of the Moon Empire. There was even a legend that the Mages of the Moon Empire built a magic array leading to the moon on the peak of Muragodin Mountain."
If that era was really like the recorded history, it was definitely a glorious and brilliant civilization.
The Mages who created the Moon Empire would obviously not be as weak as the current Mages.
"So what caused the decline of the Mages Era? Is there any difference between the Mages of today and the Mages of the Moon Empire? After the collapse of the Moon Empire, what happened that allowed the rise of the Knight? "Unfortunately, no one recorded the history.
The sporadic oral rumors had long deviated from the truth.
The mystery was difficult to solve.
…
Liszt did not go after the Sword Saint of Clearwater.
Since the passage was blocked, there was basically no hope of catching up with the Sword Saint. He felt it was a pity that the reward for capturing the Sword Saint had flown away. However, the three Great Mages as captives could make up for the loss a little. He believed that they would pay enough ransom for their freedom.
When he returned to Snow Pear Castle, the Earl had already sent people to start cleaning the castle, which had a collapsed wall.
"Didn't Yevich catch up?"
"He escaped through the tunnel and even destroyed the exit of the tunnel. But he left us three guests." Liszt pointed to the three Great Mages in magic cloaks.
Although they were prisoners.
The three of them still maintained their arrogant posture, calmly waiting for the next trial.
Liszt handed over the leadership of the trial to the Earl. He was going to search Snow Pear Castle himself to see if Yevich had left anything valuable behind.
According to the original arrangement, the military achievements would be given to Leewilliam, and the resources would be given to Liszt.
So all the resources in Snow Pear Castle belonged to Liszt. Commander Markus had already sorted out the resources. When he saw Liszt coming back, he immediately came to report, "My Lord, the food and other resources in the castle have been sealed up, except for the replenishment of the Orders of Chivalry. We are looking for carriages to transport them back."
"Where are the elves?"
"We have searched the worm room. There are no elves left. They should have been taken away by Yevich."
