Blue Hill City.
The gathering of a large number of demon hunter knights also made this place a bustling barracks.
Knowing that it was difficult for him to compete with the demon hunting knights, the lord of Lanqiu City, Earl Wenlier, simply gave up the mansion and moved to the Rose Manor outside the city, living a secluded life out of sight.
However, out of admiration for the witcher knights, he held some salon dances in the manor every now and then, and kindly invited those young knights to attend. In order to attract these young knights, Earl Wenlier even invited the most prestigious chef from Hedulan City, and also invited many ladies, ladies and beautiful women from Lanqiu City, singing and dancing every day, living a luxurious life happy life.
Enjoying delicious food and wine, surrounded by charming girls, and listening to the flattery of rich businessmen and dignitaries, those noble knights who have just experienced the bloody battle in the jungle seem to have discovered the meaning of life again, and completely indulged in the life of pleasure. Among them.
And Duke is one of them!
Born in a small noble family, he has had the great dream of riding a magic horse and walking the world with a sword since he was a child. His father, a little country baron, sold his only small estate and sent him to a training camp for apprentice witcher knights.
And he was competitive enough, lucky enough, not only successfully became a Demon Hunter Knight, but also unexpectedly advanced to become a Spellbreaker Knight after fifteen years of hard work.
At this moment, he immediately became the pride of the whole family, and also became the leader of the local well-known witcher knights.
Countless successes in strangling the evil ones have made him a firm defender of the Demon Hunt Knight group, and also a devout follower of the great holy knight Lord Willis. Therefore, when the new evil war broke out, he also led his partners here and joined the last Demon Hunting Knights.
A brutal and bloody jungle battle made him see the horror of the evil wizard for the first time. His heart bleeds and his soul trembled whenever he recalled the evil witch beasts flooding in from the dark jungle, and his poor companions who mutated into ugly ghouls!
During the first few nights of his return from the jungle, he woke up every day from terrible nightmares, sweating and depressed. Almost all the knights who returned with him had the same sequelae as him.
Because of this, when Earl Wenlier held a grand banquet and graciously invited the knights to participate, the high-level knights who heard the news not only did not stop them, but cheerfully sent these traumatized knights over.
The knight's faith that was knocked down may be able to get compensation from the wine and food, and the failure on the battlefield may allow the boys to win back from the war.
In the spacious and bright banquet hall, there are handsome men and beautiful women who are having fun, even the elderly are well-dressed and have a personable appearance.
Most of the beautiful ladies wear gorgeous low-cut dresses, revealing their snow-white backs and deep gullies on their chests, while the men wear exquisite and gorgeous aristocratic dresses or neat and easy hunting suits, talking loudly with goblets from time to time. Laugh or invite the lady to dance.
The male waiter in a neat uniform pushed a silver dining trolley and placed exquisite food on a long table covered with sky blue tablecloth, which was for other people with a certain status and status to use. On the table were brass candlesticks, tin cutlery, and horn goblets with silver rings.
And the beautiful waitresses with smiling faces shuttled among the distinguished guests with silver trays, and delivered glasses of fine wine to the guests who were drinking happily.
At the edge of the hall, there is a small band playing hard. From time to time, there will be some bards or dancers singing and dancing impromptuly, which further ignites the atmosphere in the banquet hall.
Just outside the hall of the banquet hall, there are elegant and quiet corridors, flower halls, pergolas, fountains and lawns, where the vegetation is dancing everywhere, and it is the place where lovers of men and women talk freely.
At the back of the banquet hall, there are small bedrooms separated by special stickers. Not only are the decorations luxurious and exquisite, but more importantly, the sound insulation effect is also top-notch!
However, at this time of feasting and joy, in a secret wine cellar at the corner of the manor, several dark shadows were secretly gathering together, discussing something in a low voice.
"Has the target been selected? The Lord is getting impatient!"
"Please report back to the Lord. The target has been selected. There are 3 law-breaking knights in total. We will find a way to stay here tonight, and then..."
"You must be careful. It is not easy to ambush you. The Lord does not want you to be exposed prematurely, so you must be very careful and arrange things carefully!"
"Yes, Mr. Vulture, don't worry!"
"Um!"
In the darkness, several black shadows muttered and chatted for a few words, and soon they broke up and went their separate ways.
One of them suddenly turned into a fluffy black shadow, flapping its wings silently and quickly passing through the shadows of many buildings in the manor. Soon, it came to an exquisite two-story small building at the back of the manor.
Through a ventilation hole reserved in the corner of the room, the black shadow got into the house, and then transformed into a noble old man in a delicate nightgown with a slightly bald head in a master bedroom.
As he gently pulled a special wool in the corner of the room, the two doors on one side of the master bedroom were opened, and a group of beautiful maids walked in quickly, and quickly changed the noble old man into a gorgeous dress. dress. The butler in a tuxedo also stood aside respectfully, silently waiting for the earl's orders.
"Are all the guests in front already here?" The noble old man asked in a nasal aristocratic tone as he raised his arms and let the maid tidy up his clothes.
"It's all here! I've sent someone to take care of the ones you specifically ordered, especially the master!" The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and replied softly.
"Where is Duke now?"
"Half an hour ago, I was chatting with the president of the Wade Chamber of Commerce in the front hall, and now I am happily chatting with Sister Shila at the grapevine in the flower hall!"
"Where's Baral?"
"A quarter of an hour ago, I was dancing with Mrs. Xue Fuli in the front hall, and now... I am already in room 7!"
"Where's Drisek?"
"He has been drinking with Thomas Cavaliers and Raul Cavaliers in the side hall. It is said that he has drank 6 bottles of grape spirits. I have sent another 5 bottles!"
"Hmm! You did a good job." The noble old man nodded in satisfaction.
Just as the old man was about to step towards the front hall, the respectful butler suddenly stopped him.
"Master, I have some news for you, little one?"
"Oh? What news?" the noble old man asked in surprise.
"Master Collier Knight is here?"
"Collier? You mean the brilliant knight Collier?" The noble old man was startled and asked back. Immediately, he lowered his head and gave a sinister smile, and strode out without any hesitation.
Since even the Radiant Knight had come, there was a reason for his master not to show his face!
After a while, the banquet waiter's loud announcement sounded outside the door.
"Lord Earl Wenlier is here!..."
...
Countless black shadows are shaking, countless witch beasts are roaring...
In the light of the flickering torches, everyone was running fast, and the sound of violent breathing was clearly audible.
The bright red fire clouds in the sky were tumbling, and meteorites wrapped in scorching flames were roaring and falling, and each fall was accompanied by violent roar and blinding flames. Immediately afterwards, the jungle trembled.
At this time, even Duke couldn't help shivering with the jungle.
Because what follows is the terrible flame shock wave and the overwhelming tree debris and mud debris.
Those meteorites that were blown up in the air will turn into a rain of fire that sprinkles all over the sky, engulfing the entire jungle. And the only thing Duke can do is to try his best to hold up the energy shield, use it to block the fire and rain, and run forward with all his strength amidst the waves of earthquakes and mountains...
Suddenly... an ugly, pale monster that made you want to vomit suddenly jumped out of the grass by the roadside, threw itself at the witcher knight in front of Duke, and then began to bite and devour it.
When Duke raised his long rune sword with trembling hands, the ghoul suddenly looked up at him, squatted down and jumped high, and rushed at him viciously.
Seeing the terrifying fangs and sharp teeth zooming in front of his eyes, Duke woke up from the nightmare screaming, and sat up from the bed. **The two coquettish girls with aloe bodies murmured a few words, turned over and fell asleep.
Duke wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, looked around the room, and realized that he was no longer in that terrible battlefield, but in a gentle nest. Thinking of the madness and beauty in the first half of the night, Duke couldn't help but smile knowingly, looking up he wanted to lie back in the embrace of the beauty again.
But for some reason, he always vaguely felt that something dangerous was lurking around him. But after the wine and beauty enjoyed themselves, even his sanity and sensitivity to danger dropped to the lowest point.
Just when he was at a loss and didn't know where this inexplicable panic came from, two red lights suddenly lit up in the dark place in the room. The pair of red lights appeared very suddenly, they came to him almost unconsciously, and caught his attention in an instant.
For some reason, when Duke's eyes fell on the red light, his thoughts could no longer turn. Although he felt something wrong in his heart, his will, which had been weakened by repeated means, could no longer resist the attack of Hongmang.
A look of pain and struggle appeared on Duke's face, but he still couldn't take his eyes off the red light. Even with the appearance of strange fluctuations in the red light, his spirit sank deeper and deeper, and the expression on his face became calmer.
Finally, he became completely silent!
"Okay, Bloody Girl, I've got this guy under my control! It's up to you next time." In the darkness, a beautiful and sweet female voice sounded.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Phantom. After returning, I will deliver the things you specified to you as soon as possible. I need to trouble you for the other two!" Mary's voice also sounded in the darkness.
With a light clatter of clothes, the female wizard named Phantom left the room, leaving Mary with the poor prey whose mind and mind were bewitched by illusion.
For a long time, Mary had only had a witch-level vampire subordinate in Lanqiu City, but she had never successfully tried it on a powerful demon hunter knight, let alone a magic-breaking spell with higher spiritual will and magic resistance. knight.
So, taking advantage of this great opportunity, Mary paid a huge price to invite Phantom to open the defenses of these law-breaker knights for her and shake their will to believe. In this way, even if Mary failed to embrace them at the beginning, under the cover of illusion, these lawbreaker knights would only regard this as a new nightmare, and would not easily reveal the secrets in Rose Manor.
In the darkness, Mary sneered slightly and approached Duke!
