Wizard of All Souls

Will asked Trish to rest, and Will rejected Trish's suggestion to arrange for another maid to take care of him.

Master Will.

Betty walked in wearing a maid outfit, her platinum hair was tied into a high ponytail, and Betty looked extremely capable and energetic.

Why are you here? Will asked.

Tracey was worried that no one would take care of Master Will, and Master Will was messing around, so she brought me here. As she spoke, Betty lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and spun around gracefully, Hey, actually, my maid skills are also good. Very high.

Help me change into my clothes for going out. Will ordered with a blank expression.

While undressing Will, Betty smiled charmingly, Master Will, why don't you do something interesting with me? Just like Miss Tracy serving you.

Betty stared intentionally or unintentionally at the tent under Will.

...

Will went directly to Baron Leo's room, but was told that Baron Leo had led a team out to find the Evelyn family. I won't be back for a while.

So Will found Captain Neeson on patrol outside the castle.

In order to prevent the Evelyn family from attacking when the castle's defense force is empty, Baron Leo and Captain Neeson usually take turns defending the castle and looking for enemies.

Will, you just woke up this morning, and you're still injured. You haven't had a good rest, why did you come out? Captain Neeson scolded Will softly.

Will knew Captain Neeson was doing it for his own good, but Will had more pressing matters.

Uncle Neeson, about this incident, I... Will wanted to explain to Captain Neeson about the four-armed ghost ape.

The four-armed ghost ape is very powerful and extremely vengeful.

Once it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause a devastating blow to Albert Castle.

You sneaked into the Red Moon Forest and now you have become a quasi-knight, I know all about it. Captain Neeson waved his hand, I know you really want to prove your strength now, but your injury hasn't healed yet, this time You will never be allowed to participate in the action, just give up.

Will knew Captain Neeson had misunderstood him.

This incident has nothing to do with the Evelyn family, it was done by the four-armed ghost ape! Will said bluntly.

Will, have you hurt your brain? Captain Neeson was a little impatient.

This time it was definitely done by the Evelyn family. Do you think we gave up the interests of Dalu Island and came back so many days earlier just because of you?

That's because we came back in a hurry when we learned that Becky and Charlie wanted to attack the castle. It is estimated that Becky knew the news, but he didn't want to return without success, so he did such a despicable thing now.

The four-armed ghost ape is just something in legends, don't think about it anymore. Captain Neeson explained.

So those people are Becky and Charlie from the Evelyn family? Will finally knew who the group of people he met that day was.

Will was wondering why there was an extra knight near the territory? And there is such a powerful young quasi-knight?

It turned out to be from the Evelyn family.

Therefore, Will told Captain Neeson about his encounter with the four-armed ghost ape, his encounter with the Evelyn family when he was escaping, Becky's death, and the destruction of the Evelyn family.

Unexpectedly, Captain Neeson not only did not believe Will's words, but also became even more angry.

You said you avoided the sneak attack of the four-armed ghost ape and were chased by the four-armed ghost ape all night? Captain Neeson asked,

Right. Will nodded.

You were besieged by the Evelyn family when you were escaping, and you chopped off Charlie's leg? Captain Neeson asked again.

Yeah. Will nodded.

Becky intercepted you, cut you with a sword, and was killed by the four-armed ghost ape who was chasing after you? Captain Neeson's face was already a bit ferocious.

Becky's sword didn't hit me, but I blocked it. Will explained.

Nonsense! Captain Neeson got on his horse, Nikon, escort Master Will back to the castle.

Uncle Neeson, the dead members of the Evelyn family should still be there... Will knew that what he said was too horrifying and outrageous, but he was telling the truth.

Captain Neeson didn't listen to Will at all. Captain Neeson shook the reins and went on patrol on horseback.

Will tried to catch up, but was blocked by Nikon.

Nikon shook his head slightly at Will, and said, Master Will, it's useless for you to chase after him. Do you think Master Neeson will believe your words? It will only make Master Neeson even more angry.

Nikon has a good point.

Why doesn't Will understand?

It's just that the matter is of great importance at this time, and the more the delay, the greater the loss.

I'm afraid that in the end, the Albert family's strength will be greatly reduced, and it will become a local second-rate family, unable to even hold its territory.

This is not Will's alarmist talk.

Because this is what actually happened.

A hundred years ago, although the Albert family was not as powerful as it is now, it was still a very powerful family with three knights.

Until it was attacked by the four-armed ghost ape.

The three knights united with dozens of heavily armored soldiers, and the entire army was wiped out. Only the patriarch of the Albert family survived, and he died of serious injuries shortly thereafter.

Even after paying such a high price, he couldn't kill the four-armed ghost ape.

Just repelled.

Since then, the Albert family has fallen into a period of decline.

It wasn't until a hundred years later that Baron Leo emerged, and another knight emerged.

Will you trust me? Will thought of a good idea.

I want to believe you too? It's just that what you said is really unimaginable. According to records, the strength of the four-armed ghost ape is equivalent to that of a great knight. at night?

And Charlie, you broke one of Charlie's legs just by meeting him?

I saw that Charlie fought, and now I can't survive twenty moves under Charlie's hands. As for you?

Nikon knew that Will was a genius among geniuses, and over time, he would definitely be stronger than Charlie, now?

Twenty strokes? Will smiled, How many strokes do you think you can hold against me?

Nikon's pupils shrank at Will's words.

Since childhood, Nikon has been compared to Will.

But no matter what, Nikon was overwhelmed by Will. In the first fifteen years of his career, Nikon could only live in Will's shadow.

Until Nikon became a quasi-knight.

But even so, people still feel that Nikon is far inferior to Will, and that Will will surpass Nikon sooner or later.

The small victory lasted for a year.

From now on, Nikon will live in Will's shadow again.

but--

You think you are better than me? Nikon laughed, Don't be so arrogant!

Clang!

Nikon drew his sword.

The weak always take the words of the strong as arrogance, Nikon, let me show you the gap between us. Will slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist.

Nikon held the sword in both hands, put on a defensive posture, and his face was solemn.

Although he didn't feel that Will could defeat him in his heart, Nikon still didn't let up at all.

Since you don't come, I'll go first.

After all, Will's momentum changed, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

There was a flash of white light all over Will's body.

Nikon only felt a huge and unstoppable force coming from the blade of the sword, the sword in Nikon's hand was blown away, and Will's sword took advantage of the situation to rest on Nikon's neck.

Riding, knight? Nikon stared blankly.

The quasi-knight can only stimulate the vitality of a certain part of the body, thereby instantly increasing the strength of a certain part of the body.

Only a true knight can stimulate the vitality of the whole body and improve the overall strength of the body.

How is my strength?

powerful.

How is Charlie compared to me?

Not as good.

Are you convinced?

Clothes!

Nikon knelt down towards Will with a terrified face, Master Will, from today onwards, you are my master, I am the sharpest sword in your hand, and I am willing to dedicate everything to you! Nikon swore to Will road.

This is the most solemn declaration of knighthood.

Nikon has already convinced Will, and he can no longer feel a little resistance in his heart.

If it's a little bit different, people will be jealous.

If the difference is huge, worlds apart, then we can only look up.

Although Nikon is very talented, even compared with Baron Leo, he is not far behind.

But if you want to become a knight, you still have at least ten years to go.

Will, on the other hand, is already a knight.

Now do you believe what I just said? Will put the sword back into its scabbard.

...I believe. Nikon replied hesitantly.

Will could see that Nikon still had some disbelief in his heart.

Come with me, I'll show you something. Will led the way on horseback, Nikon followed closely behind.

After a while, Will took Nikon to a sparse grove.

Go deep into the woods and keep going.

In front, several broken corpses appeared, the corpses were broken and incomplete.

The only thing these corpses have in common is that their heads were smashed and their brains disappeared.

It is! Nikon said in surprise.

You think right. These are the members of the Evelyn family. Look, that's Becky Evelyn. Will pointed to one of the corpses.

Nikon jumped off his horse and came to the rotting corpse that Will was pointing at.

Nikon fumbled around the corpse for a long time without being too dirty, and found a token with the face of a swift panther printed on it.

This is the knight token of the Evelyn family. Nikon looked at Becky's body with a complicated expression.

Ignoring Nikon's thoughts, Will pointed to a corpse with a broken foot not far away and said, That should be the Charlie you are talking about.

Nikon didn't go to check to see if the man was Charlie.

Master Will, I didn't expect that what you said was true. Nikon sighed.

Let's leave first, it's not easy to talk here. Will said, covering his nose.

There are broken corpses everywhere, and most of them are rotting and stinking.

There are still many marks of being bitten by fierce beasts. It is not known whether it was done by the four-armed ghost ape, or other fierce beasts in the Red Moon Forest.

Nikon, I need your help with an important matter, which is related to the survival of the Albert family. Will said with a serious face.

Just tell me. Nikon said with firm eyes.
