Boom!
The muffled thunder that suddenly exploded echoed over the city of Winter, waking up countless sleeping people.
Maester Dawn, who was dozing off on the church seat, also woke up suddenly. He only felt a violent shaking under his feet, as if something had fallen from a height and hit the ground.
"ah-"
A sharp scream sounded in the church, interrupting the melodious hymn, and also made the heart of Bachelor Dawn who had not fully recovered.
what happened
Maester Dawn quickly followed the direction of the sound, and saw that the side hall on the left wing of the church was shrouded in a puff of smoke and dust.
"Collapsed! Collapsed!"
There was another scream.
Only then did Maester Dawn realize that the ceiling of the side hall had completely collapsed.
The church suddenly became a mess, all kinds of exclamations, screams, and crying continued, making people upset.
"Quiet! Don't panic! Save people first!" The voice of the emeritus bishop came, making everyone feel a little more at ease.
Maester Dawn was hesitating whether to help, when he saw the soldiers of the City Defense Army guarding outside the church door rushing over like crazy.
"Master Thomas! Master Thomas!"
Seeing the soldiers digging frantically in the ruins, Maester Dawn suddenly came to his senses—isn't the confession room over there!
Could it be...
Thinking of this, Maester Dawn could no longer keep calm, and rushed over in a hurry.
Boom!
Amidst the roaring thunder, the torrential rain that had just stopped for a while poured down again, as if it wanted to completely submerge Winter City before it would stop.
In the church, the rescuers were already soaked. They struggled to remove the rubble and found the first body.
Not Thomas Cavalier.
Bachelor Dawn heaved a sigh of relief, the light of hope in his heart hadn't been completely extinguished, and he quickly threw himself into the tense rescue again.
Soon, they dug up three more bodies, and the first survivor.
Unfortunately, there is still no Thomas Cavalier in it.
Thomas's personal guards were also going crazy. Their hands were already dripping with blood from the gravel, but they still didn't stop digging.
At last, they dug out their chief—
corpse.
Plop!
Maester Dawn sat down on the wet ground, his eyes full of fear.
"What the hell is going on! Why did the ceiling collapse?"
Thomas's personal guards obviously couldn't accept this fact, and they were pestering the emeritus bishop to question him.
"I'm afraid it was caused by a lightning strike..."
Lightning strike
Maester Dawn sneered, how could it be such a coincidence
Just hit the ceiling of the side hall of the church, and killed Cavalier Thomas who was confessing
Moreover, Thomas is a fourth-order knight!
Even if you are hit by a boulder, you may not die.
Maester Dawn didn't go for the autopsy. Firstly, he didn't understand this business. Secondly, it was pointless to worry about these things at this time.
He was still one step too late.
Thomas is dead.
Then, his plan will die.
Thinking of this, Maester Dawn quickly got up from the ground, ignoring the howling storm outside, and walked quickly towards Lion's Roar Castle.
…
Lion Roar Castle.
Ke Lin stood on the promenade, staring blankly at the increasingly heavy rain outside.
The fragrance left by Adjani seemed to still linger in his nostrils, but he was not thinking about the other party's charming face, but thinking about the last sentence she left.
When she said that, Adjani looked very confident, as if Colin could no longer escape from her palm.
This made Colin slightly uneasy.
Time passed little by little, and the uneasiness in Colin's heart became more and more intense.
Moreover, Bachelor Dawn has been away for so long, yet no news has come back.
This also gave Colin an even more ominous premonition.
no!
Can't wait any longer!
Although Colin still trusted Maester Dawn, he didn't want to pin all his hopes on him.
What's more, when entering the city this time, Colin also has his own plan, and he still has a hole card beside Earl Uman.
Boom!
A flash of lightning tore through the deep night, and the roar of thunder made people's scalp numb.
Vaguely, Colin seemed to hear some noise coming from outside the castle.
At this time, he had no intention of paying attention to these anymore, and strode away after making up his mind.
boom!
A violent air current rushed across the corridor, as if something suddenly rushed into the rain.
…
"My lord, I just received the news that the side hall of the Radiant Church collapsed, killing more than a dozen people. Among them, Knight Thomas was among them."
"I see." Earl Uman nodded with a calm expression on his face, as if he had already expected the death of Thomas Cavalier.
Put on your coat, the residence where Count Uman left.
After walking a few steps, I saw Viscount Walra approaching.
"Father!"
"En." Earl Uman nodded with a smile, "Haven't you slept so late?"
"The thunder is too loud tonight, so I can't sleep. Father, are you going out?"
Earl Uman nodded, and then said, "Since you can't sleep, come with me to see Master Joyce."
Viscount Walra was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "Father, it's so late, it's not good to bother Master Joyce?"
Earl Uman sighed, and said helplessly: "There is no way, the church collapsed just now, and Cavalier Thomas was unfortunately killed. We must let Master Joyce know about this, and the commander of the city defense army also needs to appoint a new one." .”
"Knight Thomas... was killed?" Valla was surprised, and it took a while to recover, and he approached Earl Uman carefully, and whispered, "Father, this shouldn't be an accident, right?"
Earl Uman smiled mysteriously and patted his son on the shoulder, but did not give a clear answer.
At this moment, a huge figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor. His whole body was covered in thick blue armor, which gave people a strong sense of oppression, but the strange thing was that his footsteps But it was extremely light, appearing there abruptly like a ghost.
Earl Uman frowned, as if he was wondering that there was no such person among the guards of the Saint Hilde family.
Suddenly, Earl Uman felt a sharp pain in his waist.
Boom!
He kicked the attacker away, but Earl Uman's face was full of confusion and astonishment.
"Warra...why?"
Earl Uman trembled uncontrollably, but it was not because of the physical injury, but because of the greater pain in his heart.
He couldn't understand why he was assassinated one after another, and the assassins were all people he trusted.
Lawrence, Penny, Cynthia, and now even his own son Valla wants to kill him!
For a moment, Earl Uman felt a sense of betrayal, as if the whole world was going to be against him.
But he quickly calmed down, and even guessed the mastermind behind the assassination.
Walra was a "meeting gift" given to him by Colin. Obviously, Colin probably instigated this assassination.
Earl Uman couldn't figure out how Colin drove Walra to kill his own father, but he felt like he was in a cocoon.
Perhaps, this "meeting gift" is also a "return gift".
A year ago, Earl Uman ordered Carter Knight to assassinate Colin in Graycastle, and a year later, Colin drove Valla to assassinate Earl Uman in Lion's Roar Castle.
This, perhaps, is fate.
Valla spit out a mouthful of blood slowly. Earl Uman's counterattack just now was quite fierce, and his chest was dented by a large piece, but there was no panic on his face, and no regrets. Yes, just the hatred that goes deep into the bone marrow.
"Because you deserve to die!" Valla roared with a ferocious face, "You did not hesitate to lure wolves into the house for your own selfishness! The early death of my mother, the pain of the first half of my life, the repeated chaos in the northern border, and the 30th anniversary of Fallen Eagle City Thousands of innocent lives are thanks to you!"
Earl Uman was stunned. He wanted to refute, but found that in the face of his own son's betrayal, it seemed that all excuses were useless.
All kinds of conspiracies in the past flashed through his mind quickly, and a trace of regret quietly emerged, but was immediately suppressed by Earl Uman.
His face became firm again.
He has no regrets!
So what if everyone betrays relatives, what if the whole world is an enemy
If you want to reach the pinnacle of power, how can you not pay the price
Chi!
Earl Uman pulled out the dagger from his waist and threw it forward.
In front of him, the huge blue armored man who suddenly appeared has already rushed over, the huge shield in his hand was shining with a faint blue luster, as if he wanted to crush everything in front of him.
At the same time, a man in red armor also appeared behind Earl Uman, but compared with the huge figure in front, this one looked very short.
But the huge hammer in his hand shows that this is not an easy role to deal with.
Earl Uman quickly pulled out his long sword and shouted:
"Viscount Angelet! How dare you show up and fight me!"
