"Let me go! Let me go!" Linda cried and struggled. The bald man guarding her was as strong as a bear, and her little strength was completely negligible in front of that guy.
"Be honest with me!" Baldhead slapped Linda on the back of the head and said viciously: "If you are still dishonest, I will kill you right now!"
"I can leave for you, but please let my friend go. He is innocent! He is just visiting Malta!" Linda was not the kind of obedient woman.
Xia Lei was also a little touched in her heart, because at this time, she was not thinking about herself, but him, a friend she had just met. It is not difficult to see that she is really a good person.
"Damn you bitch!" The bald man grabbed Linda, put it on his shoulders, and then strode towards the door of the backyard.
Compared to Linda's struggle and noise, prisoner Xia Lei seemed much more honest and quiet. He was also very cooperative. Under the escort of the two bald heads, he neither struggled nor begged for mercy and even spoke very politely.
"Brothers, where are you taking us?" Xia Lei said cautiously.
A bald man sneered: "We are going to send you to the gate of hell, do you understand?"
Xia Lei shook his head, "I am a good person, so even if I die, I will only go to heaven and not hell."
Another bald man slapped Xia Lei on the back of the head, "Shut your mouth! Save your energy to dig a hole later."
"Dig a hole? Why dig a hole?" Xia Lei looked confused.
"Is this Chinese a pig?" A bald man couldn't help laughing.
"He must be a pig, stupid Chinese." The other bald man also laughed.
After walking out of the back door, three bald heads escorted Xia Lei and Linda into a dense forest. There was a clearing in the woods, and in the clearing stood wooden crosses, but there was not even a name on them. This place was obviously used to dispose of the dead and was a cemetery.
He carried Linda's bald head and threw Linda to the ground. Linda fainted due to fear and impact.
"Asshole!" Baldhead cursed, then looked at Xia Lei, "Your friend has passed out. It seems you have to dig two holes."
The two bald heads holding Xia Lei released their hands, and one of them went to get a shovel for Xia Lei.
"There's someone over there!" Xia Lei suddenly pointed in a direction.
The three bald heads looked at Xia Lei's finger almost at the same time.
There's nothing there.
At this moment, Xia Lei suddenly struck the throat of the bald man next to him with his palm. The bones on the edge of his palm hit the brittle bones of his throat, and a crisp sound suddenly came out. The bald head who suddenly suffered a heavy blow immediately covered his neck and tried to breathe hard.
Xia Lei suddenly turned around, and while spinning his body, he struck the bald head's neck with a whip kick.
He fell limply to the ground after receiving two heavy blows in an instant. He didn't believe that things would change like this until he fainted. How could a pig-like Chinese man turn into a tiger in the blink of an eye
The remaining two bald heads suddenly woke up and rushed towards Xia Lei at the same time.
However, before they could rush to Xia Lei, two shurikens flew from the woods behind them and pierced the back of their heads.
The two bald heads fell to the ground at the same time, blood emerging from the backs of their heads, immediately dyeing their bald heads red.
"Come out!" Xia Lei said.
A petite and graceful figure walked out of the darkness. She was the female ninja Kyoko Tsukino of the Zodiac Team. Among all the members of the Zodiac Team who came this time, she was the only one who had the ability to lurk next to this castle without worrying about being discovered by the Knights Hospitallers.
Tsukino Kyoko said calmly: "An hour and a half ago, I saw those four women coming out. I originally planned to kill them, but I saw you touched one of them's butt. So, I changed my mind."
Xia Lei, "..."
"But how to deal with this?" Tsukino Kyoko pointed at the unconscious Linda and said.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "You don't want to kill her, do you?"
"It is in our best interest to kill her. She is a trouble." Tsukino Kyoko said.
"No, I still have to count on her to take me to the Temple of the Sun." Xia Lei raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the Holy Mountain, "That mountain is the Holy Mountain. The headquarters and the Holy Palace of the Knights Hospitaller are both in that mountain. There. The situation is very complicated, I need to use her identity to go to the Sun Temple. Well, an official identity."
"Okay, I was actually just joking." Tsukino Kyoko had no intention of killing Linda at all. Just now, when Linda was facing death threats, she was still fighting for Xia Lei's chance to survive. Just because of this, she would not kill Linda.
"Then I'll leave this place to you. Help me take care of her. I'll be back soon." Xia Lei returned the same way.
Tsukino Kyoko arrived at the moment when Xia Lei was knocked unconscious, stepped on his hand with her foot, and then spun it around hard.
"Ah!" The bald head was suddenly awakened by pain.
Tsukino Kyoko said calmly in English: "Get up and dig a hole."
The bald man was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that there was only one petite woman, he suddenly swept his foot towards Tsukino Kyoko's lower body.
A cold light suddenly flashed, and when it paused again, it hit the instep of the bald's attacking right leg.
It was a short sword that penetrated from the instep and came out from the sole of the foot. It was as sharp as cutting tofu.
The bald head opened his mouth to scream, but Tsukino Kyoko waved her hand, drew her sword and cut across the slit of the bald head's lips in an instant. A stream of blood spurted out of the bald man's mouth, along with half of his tongue.
Tsukino Kyoko said: "Get up and dig a hole. Otherwise, I will cut you off piece by piece."
Cold sweat broke out thickly on his bald forehead...
The castle has not changed at all. Even though so many people died tonight, it has not changed at all. Standing under the night, it still looks so peaceful, ancient and mysterious. I don’t know how many people have died in this castle over the past hundreds of years, but it doesn’t feel anything.
Xia Lei did not go through the front hall door, but climbed through the window and entered the castle through the path that Giovanna and the others took. After entering the castle, he immediately awakened the clairvoyance ability of his left eye. He quickly reconnoitred the situation on the first floor, where two people were disposing of a body in the front hall.
When he discovered that the body was actually Feng Karen, Xia Lei was stunned on the spot, and said secretly in his heart: "The only person who can kill Feng Karen here is probably William Arthur. I didn't expect that he could even kill his own people." Hand. It seems that he wants to monopolize the Iron Book!"
This thought made him excited. If the Iron Book had been sent to the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller, it would not be a good thing for him. If William Arthur kills von Kallen at this time, what other benefits can he get besides the Iron Book? This is actually very easy to guess!
Xia Lei followed him to the second floor. His perspective vision first swept across in parallel, and after not finding the figure of William Arthur, he then raised his head and looked through the third floor of the castle. It was at this perspective that he saw William Arthur, who was in Von Kallen's study.
Xia Lei followed him to the third floor.
In the study, William Arthur read a book on a bookshelf.
Click, click, click, a series of soft sounds came, and the bookshelf slowly moved away, revealing the stone wall of the castle. William Arthur touched the stone wall with his hands, then placed his hands on a piece of stone and pushed it toward the outside of the wall. The stone sneaked into the stone wall little by little. When it was about a foot deep, several stone bricks underneath suddenly opened outwards, revealing a storage space hidden in the stone wall. It looks like the inside of a cabinet, covered with red velvet, with a bronze book lying quietly on the velvet.
"Haha..." William Arthur couldn't help laughing, "Fon Kalen, it took you two years to convince the Pope to take out the Book of Iron and study it. But in the end it was mine. The Book of Iron, the Armor of God, if the legend is true, I will gain powerful abilities and even immortality! Do you think I will give it to the Grand Master? No, I will not. I believe you No, you are also looking for opportunities to attack me, right? Hahaha... "
Amid laughter, William Arthur reached out and picked up the Iron Book. Just as he stood up straight, his body suddenly stiffened. Then he slowly turned around and saw a saber stuck on his back and a man standing at the door.
The man was supposed to be buried in the woods behind, but he appeared here and attacked him sneakily.
This man is Xia Lei.
Xia Lei walked towards William Arthur with a smile on his face, "Thank you, if you hadn't led the way, I wouldn't have found the Book of Iron at all. Not only did you help me find the Book of Iron, you even helped me kill it. Feng Karen, you think about me so much, how can I repay you?"
Hearing these words and looking at the hilt-less saber stuck on his back, William Arthur was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of old blood with a puff. This mouthful of blood seemed to take away all the strength from his body. His body shook for a moment and then fell to the ground.
Xia Lei leaned over and snatched the Book of Iron from William Arthur's hand, then squatted beside William Arthur and whispered: "Tell me, is it troublesome to enter the Holy Palace?"
"You... will go to hell!" William Arthur took a big breath.
Xia Lei said: "Let's talk about something useful. You tell me what you want to know, and I will tell you where Arthur is."
William Arthur trembled, his eyes strange.
"Okay, let me tell you the truth, I am Xia Lei." Xia Lei said.
William Arthur reached out and grabbed Xia Lei, seemingly wanting to strangle Xia Lei before death.
Xia Lei called William Arthur's hand, "You don't have much time. You know your son's life and death beforehand. This is a more powerful ability than you just hoped for, and immortality is more realistic. Is there a deal?"
"Where is he?"
"How to enter the Holy Palace?"
"Pass gold card, a pass written by the grand leader. You can't get in at all, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"You killed all the Paladins."
Xia Lei frowned, "This seems impossible."
"Arthur...where is Arthur?"
"I killed him in the soil of Siberia." Xia Lei said.
"Ah!" Perhaps the bad news stimulated the potential of life. William Arthur didn't know where he came from. He suddenly reached out and hugged Xia Lei's neck, pulled up his upper body, and bit Xia Lei's neck with his mouth. artery!
The blood-stained teeth looked sharp and ferocious.
But what he finally bit was not Xia Lei's neck, but the Book of Iron.
Xia Lei stuffed the Book of Iron into William Arthur's mouth, and said calmly: "Are you a dog?" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to press William Arthur's forehead, and then with a sudden force, William Arthur was turned into a dog. His head hit the floor hard.
William Arthur opened his mouth wide, and there was only air coming out and no air going in.
Xia Lei pulled out the saber stuck in William Arthur's back, and then stabbed William Arthur in the heart.
Three minutes later he left the castle and disappeared into the night.
In the direction of the Holy Mountain, there was the rumble of hooves, and there were torches. A long string of torches were swimming on the mountain path like snakes.
People from the Knights Hospitaller headquarters came, but what was left to them were only corpses and unsolvable confusion.
