Lord of Hyranza

"Thank you, Lord Llewellyn," whispered Miss Hoyle to Lord Llewellyn.

Miss Hoyle walked out of the crowd, and Darcy Christie called from behind: "Wait, Hoyle, I'll go with you."

As he said that, he pulled Suldak to follow from behind. Although Suldak was a little reluctant, he was playing the role of Darcy Christie's male companion at the moment, so the two of them had to keep pace, so they still went with Darcy Christie. Sy Christie walked up together.

Miss Hoyle looked at Daxi reluctantly, and begged in her mouth: "Daxi..."

Darcy Christie didn't seem to understand Miss Hoyle's plea, she took Miss Hoyle's arm and walked towards the garden, saying as she walked, "Oh, let's go, let's go together! Ivan Don't you want to find a chance to compete with Suldak in swordsmanship?"

Suldak whispered into Dacie Christie's ear, "Hey, Dacie, can you stop being so boring?"

Obviously Miss Hoyle wanted to go to the appointment alone, but she couldn't get rid of Dacie Christie, so she could only walk side by side with Dacie Christie, pouting her lips. She didn't even dare to look at Suldak for fear of being caught by Dacie Christie. Christie sees something, for that unbearable past, what Miss Hoyle hopes most is that no one will ever bring it up...

……

"..."

Surdak was a little embarrassed standing outside a somewhat gloomy gazebo in the garden.

This is a viewing pavilion full of creepers on the outside, and the inside has been abandoned in winter. No one will go to this leaky viewing pavilion to watch the fountain that has completely frozen and is surrounded by shrubs. If you want to find this viewing pavilion, you need to go around for a long time in the maze of low shrub walls.

In summer, this is definitely a very interesting place, a few friends can spend a good morning or afternoon playing hide and seek in the tree-lined maze together.

But now it is winter, the thick leaves of the low wall of the shrubs have completely fallen, and the exposed dead branches have sharp thorns inside, and the low wall can't block any cold wind. Here, Miss Hoyle and Darcy Christie will never come here, but this is the home where Darcy Christie lived since she was a child. She is very familiar with every plant and tree here, even You can get out of this bush maze with your eyes closed, so without any effort, I took Miss Hoyle and Suldak to the outside of the viewing pavilion that was leaking everywhere.

Then the three of them happened to see half of the snow-white buttocks exposed in the viewing pavilion. The gap between the remnant snow and the dead branches and leaves was so conspicuous.

If this kind of thing happened to be transported by Suldak himself accidentally, of course there would be absolutely no problem, and he would not even make it public, at most he would just take a few more glances.But at this time there were still two ladies standing beside him, and Suldak didn't know how the nobles of the Green Empire would react to such a situation.

He glanced at Da Qian, and asked her with his eyes what to do now, whether to retreat back the same way without a sound, so as to give the two wild mandarin ducks more time to enjoy themselves.

But Darcy Christie had the veins throbbing violently on her forehead, and the corners of her eyes were full of murderous intent, as if she was about to rush forward in the next second.

Miss Hoyle stood beside Darcy Christie with a pale face, her knuckles were clenched a little white, her face was first full of astonishment, and then she showed great disappointment.

She held Miss Dacie's arm tightly with both hands to prevent the furious Dacie Christie from rushing forward. At this moment, Suldak remembered the purpose of the three of them coming here. Snow, but came to find Knight Ivan Baruch, it seems that this knight Ivan Baruch is really not afraid of the cold.

Suldak hesitated to fight later, whether he should help Miss Daxi.

Unexpectedly, she had no choice at all. Miss Hoyle actually grabbed Darcy Christie who was in a rage, and the three of them stepped on the residual snow and fallen leaves and quietly exited from the low bush wall on one side. A garden gazebo.

……

When the three of them walked out of the maze of low bushes and walls, she held the delicate long skirt in her hands and glared at Suldak fiercely, with the meaning in her eyes clearly saying 'men don't have a good thing'.

Suldak was lying innocently, and could only signal Dacie Christie with his eyes: "Why don't I leave for a while and avoid it for a while?" '

Dacie Christie rolled her big blue eyes at Suldak fiercely, but the hand holding his arm tightened her grip a little bit, and Dacie Christie turned to Miss Hoyle Said: "Hoyle, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to rush over and slap that guy twice? I'm really disgusted."

Miss Hoyle's long white dress was covered with some dead leaves, she looked like a self-pitying bride, holding her round shoulders with bare hands in the cold wind, looking down at Darcy Christie Said: "Darcy, don't you think I'm not embarrassed enough?"

She walked quickly along the corridor towards the castle, and Darcy Christie rushed up to grab her, not wanting her to run away like a deserter.

Miss Hoyle was held back by Darcy Christie, but she didn't want to look into Darcy's eyes, sobbing, she choked up and said, "Am I going to rush up like a shrew and expose them in person? ... What else can I gain besides losing face? Can I still expect Ivan to love me wholeheartedly?"

Dacie Christie's eyes widened, "You are Viscount Hoyle who owns a large piece of fertile land, what right does he have to not treat you wholeheartedly?"

Probably this is the general thinking of noble ladies from noble families. Love is based on equality of status. Perhaps any one party will be strong and the balance of love will be unbalanced. Suldak glanced at Dacie Christie.

While struggling, Miss Hoyle said, "I just hope to find a love that looks a little more perfect, Darcy, am I too naive to think like this?"

Darcy Christie did not answer Miss Hoyle's question directly, but said: "Anyway, we can't just let it go!"

Then You said with incomparable resentment: "This scum, he swore a sweet oath last night, does he think that you should be hard to escape in the castle at this time..."

Miss Hoyle's face was slightly embarrassed, obviously she didn't want Darcy Christie to say too much, so she could only whisper: "Forget it, he didn't do anything wrong, let me go, let me be quiet for a while, please?"

Saying that, she tried her best to break free from Darcy's arm, and walked straight into the castle with her long skirt in hand.

"I'm going to keep a close eye on her tonight, so she won't get distracted." Dacie Christie looked away worriedly, and said to Suldak.

Suldak just wanted to ask her: "Then my male companion duties are over now?"That would be great. '

Compared with Darcy Christie, he was more willing to hang out with Carl's group, even if there were Mrs. Christie, Baron Llewellyn, and Miss Brenda beside Carl, it didn't matter, at least they were quite normal.Thinking of this, Suldak touched the "Self-Cultivation of the Magic Swordsman" in his arms, comforting himself that he was about to calm down, and everything was because of those books.

A housekeeper walked out quickly from the arch. When the housekeeper saw Surdak, her eyes became very sharp, as if she wanted to penetrate his body and penetrate into his bones, but the sharp eyes His eyes only stayed on him for a second and then he took them back.

The housekeeper said to Darcy Christie: "Miss Darcy, why are you still here? Marquis Christie is sending people to look for you everywhere."

Darcy also looked at the gradually darkening night in some panic, and said to the housekeeper, "Is the dance going to start?"

The housekeeper gave Darcy Christie a positive look.

Dacie Christie looked at the direction where Miss Hoyle disappeared with some concern, and quickly said to Suldak: "Suldak, I know it's impolite to make such a request at this time, but I'm really worried , I will get Mariana to come over to take care of Hoyle as soon as possible, but before that...can you help me take care of her for a while? I think her mood is not stable."

She clasped her hands together to make a pleading gesture, and it was rare to put on such a low profile.

Darcy Christie's actions made the housekeeper also look surprised, as if she was meeting Darcy Christie for the first time.

Suldak was a little puzzled, shouldn't he order the housekeeper to do this at this time?

But this is obviously not what he should ask. Suldak doesn't want to follow Miss Hoyle like a ghost. The two of them don't know each other well. The castle guards mistake him for a pervert or an infiltrator. What should I do? manage?Therefore, Suldak immediately refused and said, "She has already participated in the coming-of-age ceremony and is an adult! Maybe she wants to be quiet."

Dacie Christie stared at Suldak, and conveyed to him, "If you don't go, we will break up the relationship, and what you want will be gone."

Suldak rubbed his forehead in distress, and compromised: "Okay, I will watch her and not let her do stupid things."

Seeing Daci Christie leaving quickly with the housekeeper, Suldak thought that it would be best to have castle guards stop him.

While thinking about it, he chased down the path where Miss Hoyle disappeared. In the remote corner between the garden and the castle, there is a shelter with stone walls on three sides, connected by several arched stone bridges overhead. Watchtower on top of the castle.

Miss Hoyle sat curled up on the bench in a corner sheltered from the wind. The dress on her body looked a little drafty. It was unclear whether her pale face was from the cold or from being hit. She hugged her shoulders with her hands, Burying her head between her knees, without even looking at Suldak, she said to him, "Why do I meet you every time I am in the most distressed situation? You saved me last time, and you are here to save me this time." Is it mine?"

"..."

Suldak was also a little speechless.

At this time, Suldak suddenly felt as if someone was approaching quietly behind him. He turned his head suddenly and saw Ivan Baruch standing behind with a gloomy face, his hand touching the sword at his waist. Seeing that Suldak turned around and found his whereabouts, he immediately took a few big steps forward, walked up to Miss Hoyle, knelt down on one knee beside the bench, and asked her: " Miss Hoyle, what are you doing here? What is the matter with you? Has someone been rude to you?"

Ivan is accompanied by a maid, why does that maid look so familiar...

Miss Hoyle didn't want to talk to Ivan at all at this time.

"Suldak knight..." Ivan Baruch stood up with an angry face.

It's Summera!

The name flashed in Suldak's mind. Although her appearance had changed, Suldak happened to notice her back that night.

The shadows around him were constantly distorting, and two figures emerged silently.

The sweat pores all over Suldak's body stood up...

Chapter 363 Hoyle's Wrath

The inner courtyard of Christie Castle is surrounded by a nearly continuous circular arched stone pillar corridor. There is a layer of wool carpet on the ground polished by bluestone. It can accommodate hundreds of people dancing at the same time. Many nobles gather here, and the attendants carry All kinds of exquisite food and fine wine shuttle in the field, and the fragrant barbecue is placed on the barbecue grill at the edge of the square.

A group of ladies stood beside the dance floor, and gentle men would come over from time to time and invite them to dance together. The long skirts on the dance floor were like blooming lilies.

"Bird, what are you looking at?"

The friend stood next to Bird tax collector with a wine glass and asked him curiously.

"No, it's nothing..." Tax Officer Byrd looked away a little disappointed, raised his glass and said to his friend.

He was actually waiting for Miss Hoyle, but after coming to Christie Castle for so long, Miss Hoyle never came out of the castle, but Miss Darcy and Marianne Christie were chatting on the balcony on the second floor, which made him He was more or less disappointed, normally he shouldn't have such unreasonable thoughts, but since seeing Miss Hoyle in a leather outfit last time on the autumn hunting ground, Bird felt as if he had a second spring.

It didn't take long for Marquis Bernard Christie and his two wives to appear in front of the terrace on the second floor, toasting the nobles downstairs.

……

On the second floor of the castle, Darcy Christie stood behind the stone pillar, resting her right arm and elbow on her left hand, staring coldly at Mrs. Margaret Christie with squinted eyes.

The housekeeper and the two maids stood beside Mrs. Christie, and the tit-for-tat confrontation almost made the atmosphere freeze, making the surrounding maids feel suffocated. The hustle and bustle of the dance floor downstairs seemed to be a different world from this place. .

Marquis Bernard Christie touched his forehead in pain. He and his wife didn't know who to persuade the two women facing each other.

One was his precious daughter, the other his sister, neither woman would back down.Soothing music came from downstairs, and Bernard wanted to go downstairs to greet the guests who came to the dance, but the scene in front of him gave him a headache.

"He has a family," said Mrs. Margaret Christie, looking gravely at her niece.

Daqy was extremely angry in her heart, it was her freedom to make any kind of friends, but now even this freedom would be deprived, she could only look up at the dome and roll her eyes speechlessly.

"Which family's lady is his wife?" Marquis Bernard asked. Usually he rarely cares about such matters, but now it seems that if he doesn't intervene, the two women in front of him may really fight.

"I heard it's a commoner?" Mrs. Christie asked.

Darcy Christie said: "What does that matter? Don't you also think that his character and talent are very good?"

"Darcy, you should listen to your aunt's opinion." Marquis Bernard frowned and reminded his daughter, then he turned to Darcy and said, "However, what I am more concerned about is... what do you think?" Yes, Darcy?"

What could Darcy Christie have thought? Her thought at the beginning was very simple, she just wanted to find a random male partner to deal with the dance, so that those ladies who were idle and flustered all day would shut up.

But now that Surdak has been noticed by Bernard, Daxi is a little worried about how this matter will end in the future. She thinks she should disclose some information to Bernard, so she said: "I don't know, he treats me like Nothing, he rejected Hathaway before."

Daxi decided to push the problem to Suerdak.

"Hathaway, a friend you met in Bena Province?" Marquis Bernard asked.

"Hmm!" Darcy Christie said, "Actually, Hathaway is a little more familiar with him."

"Can you tell me about his origin? Don't tell me you don't know much about him yet!" Marquis Bernard asked, staring at his daughter.

Darcy Christie shrugged her shoulders, expressing that she really didn't understand much.

Marquis Bernard took two deep breaths to suppress the fire in his heart, and turned to his sister, Mrs. Christie: "Margaret, are you familiar with that... Knight of Suldak?"

Mrs. Christie could see that Bernard was holding back her anger. She was still in awe of this brother who had been very dignified since she was a child. She pursed her lips and replied in a low voice: "He is Karl's brother." Karl knows him better, friend."

"Go and invite Karl Casement." Marquis Bernard ordered the butler beside him.

Before the housekeeper went downstairs, she heard noises coming from outside the castle, and the guards all around rushed to the outside of the hall.

……

Suldak felt that he should not have agreed to Dacie Christie's request in the first place.

It was an extremely wrong decision to run out of the academy to attend this ball. After entering this castle, I got into all kinds of troubles.

Suldak really wanted to say some dirty words to vent his depression.

Ivan Baruka yelled angrily at Suldak, which really shocked Miss Hoyle.

She looked at this young and humble knight in surprise. At this moment, his eyes showed greed and evil. Miss Hoyle wanted to call out to the guards in the castle, but found that her body seemed to be frozen She was bound in place by a shadow, and she looked at Ivan Baruka in horror.

Ivan Baruch smiled grimly at her, but fixed his eyes on Suldak. He pulled out the sword at his waist and walked over without worrying about being seen by the people around him.

Miss Hoyle found that she couldn't even call for help, and her heart fell to the bottom instantly, which reminded her of the robbery at Hoyle Manor.

At this time, Ivan Baruch had another idea.

What made him extremely angry was that Suldak didn't know what he said to Hoyle. Before the conspiracy was revealed, Miss Hoyle's attitude towards him became extremely cold. If he hadn't kept a hand, The one who is standing in the castle covering his face and weeping now is probably him.

Ivan Baruch looked at Suldak coldly, pointing the Western rapier in his hand at his chest.

A few days ago, Ivan Baruch tried Suldak in the sword hall of the Knight Academy. Suldak said that he was only a beginner in swordsmanship. Ivan Baruch was skeptical about this. But later, Ivan Baruch confirmed to Darcy Christie that Darcy Christie was a straightforward girl. Although her temper and patience were not very good, she never lied. Therefore, Ivan believed that Su Erdak should be a beginner in swordsmanship.

Just yesterday, when Ivan Baruch mentioned this matter to Samya, Samaya even felt that he was lying.

Because this guy named Suldak not only escaped from the assassin, but was even related to the death of a black mage. She didn't think Darcy Christie had the ability to kill the black mage Cyrus Hickok, And obviously that night, the assassin successfully sneaked into the hotel, but failed to kill Suldak. Samaya guessed that Suldak must have some skills.

Of course, Samaya didn't know the details of the night of the assassination. She speculated that Karl might have discovered some clues and set up a trap in the hotel, waiting for the assassin to throw himself into the trap, so the assassin died. Construct the Knight's Hand in the Guard Battalion.

As for the battle that took place in Grenfell Manor, she was still hiding in High Lansa City at that time, and she didn't know the details at all.

Even if she knew a little bit about Suldak, she would not act hastily like this. These two assassins are the last bit of strength of the black magic hermitage lurking in the city of Hailansa. The two assassins Gradually emerging from the shadows, they bound Miss Hoyle and Suldak with the 'Shadow Binding'. Ivan Baruch walked up to Suldak without any hesitation, and stabbed Suldak with his sword. Duck heart.

At the moment when the rapier in Ivan's hand was about to stab Suldak, Suldak's body suddenly emitted a pale golden light, and the shadow belts wrapped around his body dissipated, and Suldak dodged to avoid it. Ivan slashed his sword, clasped Ivan's wrist, and slashed at Ivan's elbow with a palm knife. I saw Ivan's arm bent in the opposite direction. The guard in the castle, he actually suppressed the scream in his throat.

Samya stared at Suldak with a pair of clear eyes, and stabbed out with both short daggers at the same time, but Suldak had already pulled out a dwarf chain shield at this time, covering her body tightly, which made her most worried. A scene actually happened, and Suldak was not as simple as expected.

"Don't stand there anymore, get rid of him!" Samya ordered to the two assassins in the shadows.

"Samoya, this is the second time your information has been wrong!" The black shadow in the shadow said with a hoarse voice. At the same time as he spoke, his shadow appeared behind Suldak out of thin air, before Suldak could react. Coming over, a dull dagger pierced the back of Suldak's heart.

The sense of crisis hit his heart, like a cold sea tide rushing towards his whole body, Suldak couldn't avoid the knife in his heart, so he could only forcefully take half a step to the right, move half of his body away, let him The deadly knife pierced his arm, and Suldak swung the craftsman's sword backwards without hesitation, but the black figure was as flexible as a piece of paper, and its body was folded in half in an instant, dodging He stabbed Suldak with a sword, and then stabbed Suldak in the leg.

The brand-new salamander leather armor was pierced with two blood holes in an instant, and Suldak had nothing to keep. A phantom statue of a god and demon with two faces and four arms appeared behind him, and Suldak didn't care at all. A bloody hole was pierced on the leg, and the knee faced the assassin, firmly pressed against his collarbone. There was a crisp sound of 'click', and the assassin's collarbone was 'knee hit' by Suldak break.

Before he could move back, Suldak swung his shield and smashed it on the assassin's head, as if the person who had been stabbed in the arm and calf just now was not him at all. Regardless of Samya's attack next to him, relying on his brand new salamander leather armor, Samya's double daggers only cut two wounds on Suldak's back, and the assassin who took the lead was lying on the ground unconscious past.

Ivan Baruka dragged a broken arm, and stared at Suldak with a pale face. He never thought that Suldak would play with injuries for injuries, and would not dodge those attacks at all. The craftsman's sword in his hand, which looked like a black square iron rod, slashed at Samya. Samya had no time to dodge, so he could only hold up the two daggers to hold the craftsman's sword in Suldak's hand, overlapping on the A broad-bladed dagger was smashed by the heavy craftsman's sword in an instant.

Suldak raised his foot and kicked Samya's soft belly, and kicked her flying, hitting the stone wall of the castle, making a 'bang' sound.

"He's at least a mid-level shield fighter, Summera, you stupid guy." The assassin controlling Miss Hoyle growled angrily at Summera, and after he finished speaking, he flashed out of the shadows, He didn't get close to Suldak at all, but directly picked up his companion and hid in the shadow by the castle wall again.
