Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 565: Outsider (1)
Three or five black cavalry, walking under the blazing sun. Although it was already autumn, the weather was still hot, so the knight's face was mostly covered in sweat. Apart from Hagrid, there was only Alan in disguise. Alan smeared his skin black, and his eye-catching silver hair was tied up in a helmet that depicted a cloud pattern. He was riding on a black warhorse, and on one side of the horse hung the Bloody Hidden Heavy Saber tightly wrapped in cloth.
During the final battle between Qianjun and Seguris, nine streaks of flaming Origin Energy had been sealed in, causing the blade's body to collapse. Now that there was only half of the black heavy saber left, Alan could only put it away and wait for him to bring it back to Earth to see if there was any way to repair it.
Right now, Xue Yin was the only one with him. Even without injecting Origin Energy, Xue Yin's killing weapon was still emitting a murderous aura. Allen had to keep comforting the horses along the way, otherwise the horses would have been scared away long ago.
The four cavalry that followed Hagrid were all Dark Thunder Knights, and they were the only four remaining after the Battle of the Viscount. These people were Hagrid's trusted aides, so they naturally knew that the seemingly weak soldier was actually Alan. The Dark Lightning Knight's gaze changed as he looked at Alan's dark face without a single drop of sweat, and at the strange saber that constantly emitted killing intent.
During the lunch break, Hagrid handed Alan a packet of roasted meat. His gaze also fell on Blood Concealment, "Your Excellency, this saber must have an extraordinary background. Every time I see it, I can't think of the scene of the Mountain of Corpses and the Sea of Blood."
"Its name is Xue Yin. I heard it was the love saber of a famous general of the empire several hundred years ago." Alan said briefly.
Hagrid took a deep breath and said, "Blood Hidden?" It was actually General Blood Lion's saber? I heard that this saber has been missing for many years. Back then, General Blood Lion went on an expedition to the Shadow Duchy, but he did not return in the end. Rumor has it that he died in the Shadow Principality. The empire has been pursuing this saber to show its respect for General Blood Lion. "However, the outcome has been fruitless. During this period, there were even a few wars surrounding this saber, but in the end, it was not settled."
"Where did Your Excellency get it?" Hagrid felt that he had made a mistake and hurriedly said, "I'm talking too much. My lord, you don't have to answer me."
Alan laughed and said, "It's no secret. I got this knife from Sir Daniel's secret vault."
"Sir Daniel actually has this saber in his possession?" Haggers 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 pretend to be Xue Yin after I get back, so that I won't be recognized and cause trouble in the future." Alan didn't expect that this saber would actually be related to the empire. In the end, he wasn't from the empire, so he didn't know that Xue Yin still had such a past. Alan didn't believe that Daniel wouldn't know this. He knew that the empire's royal family was chasing after Xue Yin, but he still dared to collect it. This was a bit unusual.
Moreover, according to Haggers, Blood Hidden should be in the hands of the Shadow Duchy, so where did Daniel get this saber?
On the other side of Lake Portilli was a dense forest. Across the woods 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 the room on the highest floor of Unicorn Castle overlooked the entire town. Twenty years ago, this town, which received the attention of the Lords, was just a village with dozens of residents.
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 turned into a town. The path paved with mud and gravel many years ago had now turned into a road paved with neat bricks. Those dilapidated wooden houses had also turned into small buildings two to three storeys tall. After many expansions, the town had a plaza for gatherings, a bell tower, and a fountain with Daniel's stone statues. Tall shaded trees were planted on both sides of the road, and bars and hotels gradually appeared. They made the town prosperous.
If Daniel hadn't died in battle, Trison Town could have become a city. It was a pity that life had never been like that, so when they learned that Daniel had died in battle, the atmosphere in the town was once gloomy and gloomy. It wasn't until Daniel's son Ante became the new Lord that a smile gradually appeared on everyone's faces. But many people don't think Unte has the ability, the boy who inherited his mother's weak, docile personality. He could be a poet, a painter, but not a good lord.
However, the Lord's world 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 about it, nor could they interfere. He could only hope that Ante could defend his father's career and let everyone have a peaceful life.
It was evening when several people wearing cloaks and wrapping themselves around their bodies entered the town. Their auras were so obscure that the dogs tied to the doors barked at them as they passed by. One of them stopped and looked at the dog that barked the most. A bone-piercing cold light shone from the cloak, so the dog suddenly picked up its tail and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
These people entered the elk bar.
The owner of the bar was wiping her glasses, and the bartender lay lethargic on the table, her chest soft, and her flesh so compressed that it almost jumped out of the loose collar. When the mysterious figures walked into the bar, the owner did not raise his head and said, "It's not open yet …"
Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow flew to the bar in front of him. The boss calmed down and saw that it was a money bag. Opening it, it was filled with brilliant gold coins. The boss immediately put on a smile, "But we always treat our distinguished guests differently. Damn it, Kelly, don't greet our guests."
"We want a hidden room." Said one of the short men in a hoarse, monotonous voice.
"No problem, please follow me." The bartender stood up, her movements so big that her chest surged.
On the second floor of the elk bar, there are some separate rooms to meet the privacy needs of the guests. People can have more private exchanges here, or some secret transactions, or even as a place for men and women to have fun. It was still early, and there was no one on the second floor. Kelly brought a few guests into a relatively spacious room and quickly delivered drinks.
A gold coin landed on Kelly's collar. That was her tip.
Such generous guests were rare, and Kelly left without forgetting to say to them, "If you have any special needs, you know, I can provide the kind of comfortable service. The price is one gold coin for each person. If there are more people, the price is more. Have a nice evening, gentlemen."
After the door was closed, a strange laugh came from one of the people inside.
Time passed quietly. When the lights started 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 pen-tidied 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." The old butler whispered.
The boss recalled the strange guests and described them. The old butler nodded and said, "Where are they?"
"I'll bring you up." "They're on the second floor," Kelly said.
A moment later, the old butler walked into the room. Kelly looked at the table. The wine on the table didn't move at all. These people were actually sitting there all the time. What strange fellows, thought Kerry.
After sending the bartender away, the old butler sat down. "Why isn't Daniel here?" Said the leader.
"I'm sorry, Lord Daniel can't come. Because he … died in battle."
"Die 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 is still a viscount of strength. Only a Marquis or Earl of Strength can kill him. As far as we know, there is no such person here!"
"That's the truth, my lord. Viscount Daniel was killed by a baron named Allen." The old butler said in a deep voice.
The leader suddenly floated up like a dark cloud, silently crossing the table and landing in front of the old butler. A scaled arm appeared from the cloak and grabbed the old butler's neck with three thick knuckles. The man's voice was cold and gloomy, "You're lying!"
The old butler blushed and forced out a few words, "You know I didn't."
After exchanging glances with the old butler for a moment, he let go of his hand and a violent cough sounded in the room. When the old butler regained his breath, he asked, "What exactly is going on?"
The process was not complicated, so the narrative 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 left with Daniel."
"About this." The old butler smiled bitterly and said, "Sir Allen has also looted the Lord's secret vault. He has already taken most of the items."
"What!" "Blood Hidden, Fire God's Heart, and Myriad Beast Blood Essences. Where are they?" The man suddenly stood up, the shadow of his hat emitting an intimidating light.
"They are naturally in the hands of that knight."
A roar like that of a lion and a tiger resounded in the room. All of the sprinkling cups exploded one by one, and the broken 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 he said, "It's Lord's son, Young Master Unte."
