Three days later, the small town of Trisen has turned into a whirlpool of chaos. The old housekeeper was found tragically dead in the town of Elk that night. Together with the unlucky female bartender Keli, the deaths of the two seemed horrific and strange. Especially the old butler, the coroner did not find a single drop of brain in his head, they all disappeared completely, as if sucked away by something.
The owner of the Elk Bar almost fainted when he heard the news. He never thought that such a terrible thing happened in his own bar. What followed was Unter's anger. This young boy who inherited his father's power came to the town in person. He is like an angry lion cub. In Unter's childhood, the most memorable person was not his father Daniel, but the old housekeeper.
He is a loyal old man who has been taking care of his daily diet, taking care of him when he is sick, and telling him jokes when he is unhappy. For Unter, this old man is like his grandfather, and his affection for the housekeeper has long surpassed that of ordinary masters and servants. Especially during the period after Daniel's death, if it wasn't for the old housekeeper who silently supported him, he didn't know if he would be able to make it through.
And such a person died inexplicably in the town.
"Investigate thoroughly, find the murderer!" At that time, Unter was so excited and angry that the corners of his mouth were torn as he yelled. These words were uttered with anger and blood, and echoed deeply in everyone. heart.
So everything that happened that night was repeatedly tracked down. The clues were quickly locked on several weird adventurers, and the investigator in charge of this matter even found some strange scales in the bar room. From this, it can be concluded that those so-called adventurers may be of different species. But this leads to a bigger problem, because from the description of the bar owner, the old butler came to meet these aliens.
Angte didn't know, why did the old butler have contacts with different species? After further investigation, the owner of the bakery in the small town voluntarily admitted that on the night the old butler was killed, a female alien had bought bread in his shop. Hearing this news, Unter felt dizzy, when did his territory become so open to the passage of alien species.
Soon the young lord issued a new order, requiring all members of the Unicorn Knights to dispatch any alien species in the territory!
Of course, the town of Cuishen was hit the hardest. On the morning of the third day, a group of fully armed soldiers rushed into the town. The captain of the team asked all the residents to get together and count them, and interrogate them one by one, so as not to miss any details. As a result, the residents of the small town are basically unable to maintain their original lives. But on this night, a burst of fire suddenly burst out from the Emerald Mountain Range.
It was a faint blue flame, it pierced the night sky, rose steadily, and kept heading towards the sky full of stars. The blaze caused everyone in the town to stop and watch. When the Unicorn Legion sent an investigation team to the spot where the blaze appeared, they only found a piece of scorched grass.
This is undoubtedly another huge mystery.
Of course they would not know that it was the trace left by the jet of fire from the engine when the starship lifted off.
The fire light was also reflected in a pair of pupils, a pair of eyes that seemed to flow with volcanic lava. Allen squinted his eyes, looking at the indigo in the distance
colored sky. And that faint blue fire, which rises obliquely and goes away through the air. Apparently, it was some kind of aircraft taking off.
"What's that?" Higgs walked over, the light of the bonfire made his dark heavy armor reflect a heavy metallic luster.
"I don't know either." Allen lowered his head and stirred the bonfire with a burnt black log. As a result, sparks floated in the fire ball, and they were supported by the wind to fly upwards, and then scattered in mid-air, and finally returned to nothingness.
Higgs stared blankly at those sparks, thoughtful. Then he said: "You can arrive at the Black Iron Fort tomorrow, Mr. Allen should inform you sooner."
Allen gave him a strange look, and Higgs seemed to be preoccupied. He coughed lightly and said, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Higgs's stern face suddenly fell down, like a punctured balloon, he smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't hide anything from my lord."
He sat down, looked at the constantly jumping flames and said: "After Sir Sharon disappears, his relatives will also be exiled. But I want to ask your lord to pardon one person."
"Your sister?"
Higgs shook his head: "My lord seems to know a lot about my situation, but it's not her, it's a young man named Bill."
"he is?"
"He is one of Sir Sharon's sons. Of course, that is only on the surface. In fact, he is my child. It was the result of a mistake..." Higgs looked at Allen, seeing that his face was a little weird, At the moment, he said embarrassingly: "No, no, it's not what you think. It's the child born to me and Sir's other wife."
Allen thought that this was the case, and said, "It's okay to let a young man go, but does he know your identity?"
"No, I didn't tell him the truth."
"In that case, he might hate you." Alan stirred up the fire and said, "I have a friend whose father disappeared before he was born. His mother told him that if he had the chance, help her kill that Irresponsible man. But in fact, that man has his own difficulties, but until the friend grows up, he never shows up even once. "
Higgs listened thoughtfully, without interrupting Alan.
"But my friend doesn't know the father's difficulties, so you see. No matter what reason you have, you must always stand up and explain everything. Otherwise, is it too unfair to that child?"
Higgs was silent for a while, and Allen didn't speak anymore. The two looked at the bonfire and thought about each other. After a while, Higgs stood up and bowed to Allen: "Thank you for your reminder, my lord. I will find a suitable opportunity. Although it will cause trouble for Bill, but I think he has the right to know the truth. As for whether he hates me or forgives me afterwards, I will leave it to God to decide."
"Haggs, I have to say something first." Allen looked up and smiled, "If Bill hates you and wants to kill you, I will stop it. I don't want my sword to kill the enemy People are broken by other people."
Higgs took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Higgs still knows the priorities."
"That's good."
The night is very dark, but no matter how deep
Shen's night also has its past. After dawn, Higgs and his party continued to set off. One hour before noon, Allen finally saw the destination of the trip.
Black Iron Fort!
The Black Iron Fortress is like a pitch-black monster, dormant under an undulating dark brown mountain range. The city walls of this city are ten meters high. Judging by the size of the Borderlands, the Black Iron Fort is already a fortress. After all, even the guard wall of Storm City is far from this height. The Black Iron Fort is just like its name, whether it is the guard wall, the city gate, the arrow tower, the fort, or the buildings behind it, the bell tower, etc. All the buildings are dark, although not completely black, but from a distance, it looks like a huge piece of meteorite has fallen to the ground, lying across the land. Then that kind of rough and hard breath rushed towards his face, as if the wind blowing from that direction also carried stinging steel sand.
"The Black Iron Fort was just a larger market in the beginning, far from being a city, let alone its current scale." Riding on the horse, Higgs said suddenly: "At that time, Sharon and I were still Good friend, we watered this land together with blood and sweat, so that it has what it is now. I miss the hard time in the past. The process of creation is always difficult, but it is very moving. It’s a pity... "
What a pity, Higgs didn't say anything, but Alan saw something in his eyes. And as the Black Iron Fort approached, that kind of thing was rapidly disappearing from Higgs' eyes. This is a very dramatic scene. In the process, Higgs changed from an emotional person to a cold machine.
Standing under the walls of the Black Iron Fortress, Allen realized that the ten-meter-high guard wall looked so heavy from the bottom up. In particular, the stone of the guard wall was originally the black iron rock that was abundant nearby, so the city wall looked more powerful, like a thousand-meter-long black steel rising from the ground. As you can imagine, this will cause heavy psychological pressure on any attacking soldiers.
Outside the city gate is a hanging fence. The fence is welded with steel bars as thick as an adult's arm. On the hanging fence are two slings made of steel wires. The sound of the rotating shaft movement came from behind the city gate, so the hanging fence was slowly raised. At the same time that the fence was raised, the city gate behind it also opened from both sides, so Allen saw the square behind the gate and a wide avenue leading to the depths of the city.
There was a shower of horseshoes in the square, and a group of black cloud knights floated like dark clouds. The first knight flew off his horse when he was still ten meters away from Higgs, his movements were nimble and his skills were not bad. He trotted to the front of the horse, and immediately said: "Mrs. Melinda and Master Bill are under house arrest!"
Melinda is Higgs' sister. As for Bill, Allen already knows his identity. The house arrest of these two people, needless to say, was Sir Sharon's masterpiece. Higgs' face moved slightly, and he asked, "Where are they?"
"No. 1 Iron Stone Avenue, now it is guarded by Jazz's personal guards, and our people can't get close."
Higgs took out a metal mask and put it on his face, so only two eyes remained on his face. Those who are familiar with him know that when Higgs puts on the iron mask of war, it means that he can violently kill people at any time. With a swipe of his hand, Higgs led the four dark thunder knights and the team of black cloud cavalry galloping away like the wind. Naturally, Allen was among them.
