With a squeak, Antitina raised her head in the dark and turned her stiff neck. From the corner of her perspective, she saw someone open the iron door, and the jailer led others in from outside.
Then there was the sound of flint hitting, and the fire soon lit up.
The bright torch was held in the hand of the rugged woman, and the light shone into the eyes of the lady of the staff, which made her squint her eyes very uncomfortably.
In addition to the woman, two knights stood outside the iron gate. They wore armor that was very different from Eruin's style. The metal armor reflected a bright luster in the fire. Two knights, one was older and the other younger.
"Let her come out." The older knight ordered the woman in charge of Antitina.
"Wait, my lord, she is locked with shackles," the woman hurriedly replied, taking out a bunch of keys, "wait for me to open it to her first."
"Then faster." The knight said impatiently.
The woman came to Antitina and grabbed the shackles on her hand. The lady of the staff struggled symbolically, but to no avail. The former swiftly inserted the key into the hole and twisted, and the shackles tied to her hand fell with a bang.
The shackles were connected to the wall of the dungeon together with an iron chain, about a few meters long, and within the range of the chain, she could hardly leave her bed.
The inside of the dungeon was dark and damp, full of musty smells, and there were messy straws in the corners, and occasionally a few mice could be seen rushing past.
The young knight frowned and looked at the environment. He looked at the heavy metal shackles on the ground, and then at the scarred abrasions on the female prisoner's originally Xue Baihao wrist. He couldn't help feeling compassionate. : "Who is this woman, is she an extremely powerful witch?"
"Heh," the older knight chuckled, "Don't underestimate her, this woman is not simple, I heard that she is the princess of this small country. But be careful, Lord Sadr wants to see her , Don’t make any problems for me."
The young knight gave a dry laugh and nodded quickly.
Antitina felt light on her feet, and the rugged woman unfastened her feet from the shackles, but the other party apparently didn’t understand what pity and cherishment was—or maybe it was jealousy—she mentioned Ann. Titina's ankle was deliberately exerted, causing the lady of the staff to frown in pain.
But of course Antitina couldn’t bow her head to a mere maid. She gritted her teeth and stood up. Although the conditions here are a bit worse, it’s not too'bad' compared to her'home' in Braggs. Far.
She didn't say a word on the surface, but in fact she kept paying attention to the situation in her heart.
She has been imprisoned here for more than half a month, and the other party seems to have forgotten her existence, and only let this rugged woman come and hold her. What happened today
In the past two and a half months, Antitina has basically confirmed where she is-this should be the lighthouse near Kurk.
She could see large areas of black pine outside the castle when the wind was blowing. These familiar tree species were only distributed in a large area in the Golan-Elsen province. There was a river near the castle that poured into a bright water in the distance. I don't know if it is a lake or the sea.
But I think it should be a lake. Golan-Elsen is not close to the sea, but close to the largest lake in Eruin-Lake Valenden.
She had been to another famous castle in the Golan-Elsen province during the Second Black Rose War, the Van Meer Fort near Braggs, but the pattern there was very different from here, and these people were obviously It is impossible to send oneself to the supervision area of Madara undead.
After confirming her position, what she wanted to do the most was to pass this information out, but the woman who guarded her couldn’t get in. Although she occasionally told her about the outside situation, Antitina always felt that It was because someone was instigating her behind her back.
What are these people trying to her
She always feels that these people are not Eruin, and Antitina has not forgotten that she was arrested here as the Princess Griffin. Even if the Eruin didn’t know Her Royal Highness, at least It should also be known that the heirs of the Corkova royal family have mixed elves.
But the knights and wizards who escorted her turned a blind eye to her identity. The status of knights and wizards in Eruin is almost noble, especially if the status of knight commander is at least a baron, it is unlikely that these people have not understood. Members of the royal family in their own country would never even know Princess Griffin's hair color and basic appearance.
This princess is not one of the dozens of daughters of the monarchs of other countries. Obergus VII only has such a daughter, and her Royal Highness is by no means unknown in Eruin.
But the indifference of those who caught her to the identity of the princess was very strange.
More importantly, the words of the older knight made her heart move.
'Don't underestimate her, this woman is not simple, I heard that she is the princess of this small country. But be careful, Lord Sadr Witch wants to see her, so don't cause any problems for me. '
Your Royal Highness the princess of this small country.
Sure enough, the other party was not from Eruin.
But where would they be, and why did they appear in Eruin
The other party said that Eruin is a small country, so their country must be very large, even if it is not comparable to the four empires, but at least it should not be comparable to a small kingdom and a principality.
She first confirmed that these people are not Cruz people. Cruz people’s golden hair and blue pupils are their most conspicuous features. Even those of mixed race retain this feature to a greater or lesser extent.
What's more, Cruz is close to Eruin, and the relationship between the two countries is constantly being cut and disordered. Even if the Cruz people take Eruin improperly, at least they should have heard the reputation of Her Royal Highness.
After all, Her Royal Highness the Long Princess is famous for her appearance throughout the coastal states of Silver Bay.
Suddenly, Antitina thought of another appellation from the other side.
Lord Sadr Wizard—
She was startled slightly, but then her heart jumped heavily.
Isn't that the wizard leader of the Buga
Antitina has well-informed and strongly remembered that her knowledge is rare in the entire Tonigel. Although it is not as comprehensive as Brando, she at least knows the Buga. The names of the leaders of the twelve wizards.
Could it be that Buja is behind this
Antitina suddenly felt a little chill in her heart.
If the leader behind this conspiracy is really a Buga, what should I resist? What did Eruin use to resist these high silver people? The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and suddenly she was a little scared, afraid that Brando would come to rescue her.
That was the wizard leader of the Buga. No matter how powerful he was, how could he be the opponent of the best of these silver people
Every wizard leader has existed for a long time, even the youngest one of them, Silverfire Tulaman, has existed for one or two hundred years. And Sadr wizard is one of the most powerful people. In fact, it is said that the power of this wizard is second only to the existence of several ultra-first-line existences in the Silver Alliance.
Those people are Solomon, William and Heryanov.
"But maybe not?"
Antitina clenched her lower lip. Perhaps these people were intimidating herself, just to defeat her own psychological defense. Isn't there no such suspicion in her heart, after all, the Bugans have not intervened in matters on the ground for hundreds of years, how could they suddenly break their traditions
"Help her up."
At this time, the older knight spoke to the jailer.
The rugged woman was about to lift her arm when she walked over, but Antitina frowned and swept away her hand, and stood up by herself. The knight glanced at her in surprise, but said nothing.
Antitina looked at the two knights, and suddenly remembered another legend.
Do these people mean the legendary Bancia
According to legend, the Bancias are slaves of magic. The Bancias are obsessed with magic and worship the Bujas above the sky.
In the Year of the Fall of the Dragon, this nation voluntarily became followers of the Sasald. Among the Banciaians, there are generally only two professions-wizards or knights. Mysterious knights are a specialty of Bancia. Knights are often the guards and followers of wizards. It is said that for any Bancia, it is their highest honor to be the guard knights of the people of silver.
Just like the Bugans, every Bancia is a potential wizard. Those who cannot become wizards will be eliminated to participate in knight training, and those who cannot become wizards or knights will be demoted to untouchables. Slaves, engaged in lowly occupations such as craftsmen and merchants.
Since every Bancia knight is a killer of wizards, they often spend a lot of time practising the knowledge of magic, which makes them compared with those real knights who have been trained as servant knights since they were young, their combat skills and physique All aspects are much weaker. However, there are gains and losses. After the baptism of the magic pool, the mystery knights of Bancia can cast magic while wearing heavy armor, which gives them a great advantage in confrontations with other humans and elf knights.
The reputation of the mystery knight also spread like wildfire.
When Antitina saw that the older knight used an invisible force to open the door of the dungeon, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was also extinguished.
They were indeed Bancia knights.
So can the Sasald be far away
When she read this knowledge from the book, she never thought that one day she would meet the Banciaians like this—
She had also longed for the vastness and inexorableness of the world, the beauty of the nine phoenixes, the vastness of the Rubik Desert, the desolation and barrenness of the Dead Moon Sea, and the ecology of the mortal kingdom under the rule of the Thassard Alliance and the four empires different from those of the four empires.
She has another dream is to read the descriptions in these books with her own eyes.
But today when one of these long-cherished wishes came true, Antitina felt cold in her heart.
She followed them silently, her hands already clenched into fists, her fingertips were white, her nails were almost pinched into the flesh-but she didn't feel the slightest pain, the blood seemed to be flowing back all over her body, and she didn't even feel the pain. Knowing how I finished this section of the road.
Sure enough, this is the lighthouse.
She confirmed this when she saw the main building of the castle. The lamp castle was built in 447 and was built by a wind spirit, so the main body of the castle left the spirit of the aesthetic style everywhere.
Bard Cody once rated this castle as one of the most beautiful in Eruin, and it really lives up to its reputation.
It's just that Antitina has no intention of admiring it at the moment.
Why are the Sassarders suddenly interested in Eruin, a small country
Why did they arrest Her Royal Highness the Long Princess
No, Antitina shook her head in her heart. The real purpose of these people is to find someone with the pure royal blood of Eruin, but this blood is not limited to the Corcovado royal family, otherwise she would not be able to pass the test.
Could it be said that what kind of secrets are hidden in the royal blood of the Kingdom of Eruin
But if you want to say that, shouldn't the purest royal bloodline be the descendants of the Westfah family? Why would they find the two brothers and sisters of the Corkova royal family
She was full of doubts.
The two knights guarded Antitina entering through the main entrance, went through the hall, and went up the stairs.
Antitina watched all this coldly, continuing to fill in her own guesses in her heart.
After being detained for half a month, the other party suddenly asked to see her. Why? Perhaps the other party has completely controlled Eruin's situation and is preparing for a showdown; or for another reason, they need an'insider' who is familiar with Princess Griffin to confirm her identity.
And this person has arrived.
She quickly ruled out the first possibility. According to the external situation that the maid told her, although the'rebels' had an advantage, they had not yet turned into a victory—they hadn't even captured the real Princess, and the situation was still Very anxious.
It seems that the Sasalders are not completely unscrupulous, and have not completely shot.
Of course Antitina didn't know that because of the disaster of the White Mountains, the Saddlers' gray mage was divided into two, and the main force was actually not in Eruin. Of course, for these high-ranking silver people, this person is far enough to subvert this little kingdom.
In this case, there is only the second possibility left.
Who will come
The Knight Antitina had long suspected that there were traitors in the royal party, otherwise these Banciaians would not have been able to find her and her Royal Highness so accurately, and attacked Prince Haruze who was on an envoy from Lantonilan.
This traitor would certainly not be a member of the local nobles, because they did not have the ability to access core secrets, and they could not be the old nobles, because the old nobles could not be trusted by the princess.
Therefore, this person can only be a member of the royal party, and must also be a core member.
Although Antitina was very unwilling to believe that such a frenzied person would appear in the royal party that once represented Eruin's faith, but the fact is that she should not ignore it. Several names appeared in his mind in an instant.
These names even include the person who she is closest and trusts the most.
After all, everyone knows his relationship with the Buga.
The lady of the staff almost bit her lip to bleed. Although she would never believe that Lord Lord would betray Eruin, her natural calm and reason made her take this possibility into consideration.
But whether it is Lord Lord or not, as long as it is any one on this list, it is enough to cause a devastating blow to this kingdom.
Antitina couldn't help being gloomy in her heart.
Anyone often hates traitors over enemies, and she is no exception. The pain of being betrayed is hard for outsiders to understand. Antitina almost shattered the silver teeth, and if hatred could kill, perhaps the true traitor would have long since died without a burial place.
After walking through a long passage in silence, the knight stopped.
The young knight took two steps forward and knocked on the wooden door in front. With a creak, the wooden door opened, and a small head came out from behind, staring at the three of them vigilantly-it was a spirit, and it was the first time Antitina saw this strange magical creature with a wide nose. Er, with a look of distrust towards humans, asked sharply: "What are you doing, the master is meeting guests!"
The two knights didn't dare to neglect. They knew that this spirit was one of Sadr's servants, and quickly replied: "Your lord wants to see her."
Jing Wei glanced at Antitina, her somber gaze made the lady of the staff seem to have been stabbed with a sword, and her face turned pale for a while. But fortunately, the spirit quickly withdrew its gaze, nodded and said: "I'll tell you, you are staying here." After speaking, it closed the door.
But at this time, there was a scolding sound inside the door.
It was a woman's somewhat angry scream:
"The rubbish you promised me so swearly is now all over, Sadr, you'd better deal with your own troubles and don't let it affect other plans. That damn woman really didn't put the final seat. In the world of stagnation, now I can confirm that it is here, but things are not that simple, you better be careful—"
Another voice quickly defended: "No, you listened to me, my lord, it was just a little trouble. I didn't expect Elu to have the power to resist. It must be the damn guys of the Silver Society. But. It’s okay. I’m mobilizing my men who are stationed near the Baishan Mountain, sir, you have to believe that some mere mortals cannot hinder the People of Silver. As for Tonigel’s troubles..."
This voice obviously belongs to the Sadr wizard, but Antitina is a little strange. Who can make the wizard leader tremble
Is that woman the man behind all this
The woman’s voice coldly interrupted Baron Sadr: “Don’t worry about Tonigel anymore. The beacon is already in that person’s hand. What you have to do is to find the key first; I hope you can take this It's done, don't let me down again, Sadr, you know your fate."
"Besides," she paused, "don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't really value your opponent, I think you might not be able to do without this place. But in that case, you don't have to worry about you. What will your opponents do to you, you don’t need to know this anyway."
Antitina wanted to listen to it again, but suddenly she heard a scream, and the wooden door in front of her suddenly turned into sky debris, and a black shadow flew out. It was the previous spirit, but This guy had slammed his head against the wall not far away, his head was broken and his breath died.
Then a young girl stepped out on the debris all over the floor.
"what?"
In the smoke and dust, the girl saw Antitina and gave a soft hey.
And Antitina froze at the same time, because she actually saw the merchant lady.
No, that can't be all about Miss Romance either. Because although she looks exactly the same as the businessman in size and appearance, her temperament and demeanor are completely different, and a black hair that is completely different from the curly brunette hair of the businessman is draped behind the girl, and her pupils are actually Presents a bright golden color.
Those pupils made her somewhat coquettish look full of majesty, like two blazing golden flames, she looked up at Antitina, who was not taller than herself, and her eyes were full of surprise.
"You, you..." Antitina was full of fear: "You are dusk..."
The businessman smiled slightly.
She stretched out her snow-white slender fingers and held Antitina's chin-although the latter was a lot taller than her, "Look at who this is, my dear lady of staff?" She smiled and turned her head. , Said to the Sadr wizard who chased it out: "This is the key you found, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Eruin?"
"My lord, I..."
The Sadr wizard was shocked, just about to say something, but the merchant girl gave him a cold look, black mist had poured out of her petite body, turning into black smoke and disappeared in this corridor.
"Wait and see, Sadr, you better not spoil my good deeds."
The shrill voice of the merchant lady echoed in the corridor.
"And my dear friend, I will cherish those memories with you-but goodbye."
Antitina's face was like white paper.
…
