Night Raven Master

Chapter 64 Sudden Arrival
After Viscount Rosa left to talk to other people, another person appeared in front of Art.

A young paladin.

Although the other party did not wear the iconic platinum armor of the paladins in the Holy See of Light, but wore robes similar to those of ordinary priests, whether it was the walking posture or the eyes of the other party, it proved that the other party was a more powerful person. A melee professional who relies heavily on physical strength.

"I'm Aleus, Sir Claude." The young paladin declared his name, and his eyes, which should have been light brown, became closer to platinum because of the power of the holy light.

"Hello." Yate looked at the person in front of him, and also remembered the other person's reputation——

In the Red Rose collar, there is one with extremely high talent, who is only 17 years old, and has the strength of the average.It was precisely because of this that he was brought to the banquet by the Tu priest.

If nothing else, in the past few years, this person in front of me will go to the county-level church.

A veritable genius.

I don't know why, but when Art saw him, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. The person in front of him was a little special.

He didn't know where this feeling came from.

But Ahlis didn't have this spontaneous feeling, he just came to this conclusion when observing Yate——

Although that Viscount Rosa is not difficult to get along with, no one will be treated like this by him, even his sons have never been so "close" on this occasion, so, that is to say—— He is well regarded.

Thinking of this, Ahlius couldn't help but glance at the two middle-aged men standing somewhere at the banquet. They would look in the direction of Viscount Rosa from time to time, but they didn't intend to lean over.

Compared to the two of them, this "Sir Crawford" is "very favored."

Ahlius is very aware of his talent, and his end point is definitely not the Red Rose Territory, nor Dullard County, or even the Kingdom of Allen.

However, for this Viscount Rosa, he feels that the other party has extraordinary wisdom. Although the strength of the other party is not even comparable to the apocalypse, he has never underestimated this Viscount Rosa.

As for the young man who was "favoured" by Viscount Rosa, although it was possible that the other party was Earl Mercury's apprentice, he didn't think so in his heart.

He prefers to regard the young man in front of him as someone who has the same talent as himself.

Aliasi believed in his own feelings—or, in other words, the revelation from the Holy Light.

And when he saw Yate's eyes, he was more sure of his thoughts.

Although younger than himself, the other party does not look like a person of this age at all. Even a wizard is not so mature at this age. With indifferent and cold eyes, he is more like a warrior who has experienced many battles. Not a fledgling traveling wizard.

Ahlius thought back to the eyes he had seen before, compared with this feeling, but the final picture was fixed on a tall and burly figure - the paladin standing beside the archbishop.

"How is it possible?" Ahlius was also frightened by his own thoughts. The young man in front of him, who was similar to a low-level wizard apprentice, actually reminded him of that paladin, a glowing paladin with five stigmata. !

Immediately, Ahlius paid more attention to Yate in his heart.

"Your Excellency Ahlius, I think you should pay more attention to these foods than me." The corners of Yate's mouth twitched, he couldn't help but think of some poems he knew before. The content—it was a poem praising the emotions of the two warriors.

But Ash was still staring at him.

"Your Excellency Ahlius, I don't think you are interested in philosophy?" Yate couldn't help asking.

"Philosophy?" Ahlius was taken aback for a moment, and then he said solemnly, "I am very interested in the topic of 'I and I' proposed by Archbishop Bafas of Glory Continent."

"Me and me?" Yate was also taken aback, he didn't expect that the other party would really talk about philosophy
"Yes, I have a philosophy book handed down from the church in the northern port, which records the dialectics of thought on the Glorious Continent. In it, a bishop of Bafas raised a discussion of 'I am not me'. I think, The ego is the subject of perception, the not-self is"

When it comes to philosophy, the paladin named Asius began to chatter excitedly.

"."

Yate has no interest in philosophy, and only has some superficial research on philosophy, and finally got rid of the philosophy-loving paladin.

After eating and drinking, he found an excuse, and Art began to wander around.

The viscount liked to plant some flowers and plants inside the castle, so, walking inside the castle, Yate felt like walking in a technological greenhouse in his previous life.

He walked slowly in the castle corridor connected to the banquet hall, looking at the paintings hanging on the inner wall of the castle, his thoughts drifted away a little.

In the corridor, only a servant passed by from time to time, and it seemed very quiet.

Although he was seen leaving the hall, no one came to bother him.

But compared to these, he pays more attention to other things.

He felt a strange feeling.

Combined with the experience of the past few days, the guess in his heart became more and more certain.

He narrowed his eyes and gave an order in his heart, and the crows outside the castle also started to move.

On the other side, a valet pushed a simple cart, ready to send food into the kitchen-there was a dinner party tonight, and the preparations had to start now.

He tilted his shoulders, ready to wipe his sweat, but...
call--

A black shadow appeared from the corner, the black sharp blade sliced ​​across his neck, severing his trachea and arteries.

"Ho ho—" the servant's eyes widened, and his body fell backwards. However, before his body fell to the ground, the owner of the dagger stretched out his hand and dragged him to a corner.

A short ten seconds later, a "manservant" came out, and behind a few potted plants in that corner, a dead corpse was opening its eyes, its limbs were broken, its mouth was stuffed with a cloth, and it couldn't even make a sound. Not coming out, blood slowly flowed from his neck, slowly taking away his life.

The same thing happened in various places around the castle. The servants were killed and replaced one by one, and even the soldiers patrolling the outside were killed quietly.

Another corridor not far away.

A young maid who should be younger than her age, with sweat dripping on her delicate cheeks, walked quickly towards the kitchen with a tray, but when she walked around the corner, a black figure appeared——

Without any ability to resist, the maid was also killed.

Afterwards, a "maid" with a somewhat different appearance lowered her head and continued to move forward with a plate.

"." In the shadow behind the wall, Art's eyes watched all this silently.

After the "maid" left, Art came out. He came to the corner where tall plants grew. A young female body with only underwear left was lying there with twisted limbs, and a large piece of her neck was cut by a sharp knife. His flesh and blood no longer felt white and attractive.

Art was silent, then turned and left, his eyes took a deep look at the direction in which the "maid" left.

He turned his gaze to his inventory, where there was a letter impressively.

[Hutchinson's secret agreement lv2: No names are involved, only an envelope with a brief time and place. 】

The time above is exactly today, and the location.
"castle".

Although only one word was written, but now it seems that it goes without saying that this castle refers to the Red Rose Castle.

"."

Without staying any longer, Art took a deep look in the direction of the banquet hall, and walked towards the exit of the castle without looking back.

However.
call--

A strong wind came from Art's ear, and the sharp black blade aimed at his neck.

Yate, who was always on guard, immediately lowered his body and swung his black cane back without looking back.

The assailant saw the black cane attacking, and without thinking about it, the left hand with the metal wristband blocked it——

As long as the black wooden cane is blocked and the next blow is made, this person will definitely not be able to avoid it!
However, when his wristband collided with the black wooden cane, there was a dull metal impact sound.

click-

The attacker's eyes widened, and the crisp sound and severe pain let him know that he was the one who was injured.

Why?It's just black wood no, it's metal!
In an instant, the attacker judged the information, and without thinking too much, he was about to pull back.

But how could Yate let him succeed?
The next moment, the assailant saw two points of light glowing in the sleeve of the right hand stretched back in the opposite direction, and the next moment, a strange black bird head protruded from the sleeve.

Gloom fear!

A sense of fear that came from nowhere suddenly attacked his heart, stopping his actions.

As for his meal, Yate also took the opportunity to turn around and spread his left hand:

Dark energy erodes!

A palm-sized black foggy sphere flew out and hit the attacker's face.

"what--"

Hit head-on by the erosion of dark energy, the assailant who was shrouded in pain again subconsciously lowered his eyelids.

However, the next moment, the pitch-black cane hit his head heavily, knocking the muffled groans he hadn't yet uttered directly back into his stomach.

What followed was dizziness and eternal darkness.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Art narrowed his eyes slightly, then took out a cloth and wiped off the blood on the cane.

[Crude black iron cane lv6: A cane forged with black iron, because the required time is too fast, so the blacksmith does not have enough time to use his forging skills, but the decoration skills are brought to the extreme, it looks like a root Plain dark wood walking stick. —in fact, it was heavier than the blackwood cane. 】

This is the weapon he went to find a blacksmith to forge on purpose a few days ago. He was just thinking about it just in case, so that when he used the weapon, he could instantly replace the black wooden cane and the black iron cane without being perceived as abnormal.

After exchanging the black iron cane with the black wooden cane again, Art pressed the brim of his hat and quickened his pace.
