Chapter 187, The Blood Knight Appears

ps. Brittania won the World Cup! For the ladies!

The next day, on the cold streets of Bodleix, a beautiful apprentice witch appeared.

"Woo! Mentor, where have you been?" Catherine walked alone on the street with an aggrieved face, trying in vain to find her own mentor.

As soon as she turned around the dark corner, she covered the little apprentice's mouth with one hand. The girl was about to struggle when she found herself being pulled into a carriage. Looking back, the girl let out a sigh of relief: "Member? Still looking for you everywhere."

Veronica's face was moisturized, and her flabbily skin exuded a different kind of brilliance. She leaned lazily on the pillows and soft cushions, covering herself with a blanket: "Okay, Catherine, There's nothing else to do, let's head to Jinne together."

"Okay, my congressman." Catherine didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, the girl was a little scared when she remembered that she asked what the mark was and was "taught" by the instructor that day.

But today the witch seemed to be in a good mood. She didn't blame her little apprentice, but instead patted her head lovingly: "It was my fault for leaving you aside for one night, and I won't do this in the future."

Before Catherine said anything, Ryan's voice came in from outside: "Yeah, Veronica, it's not right for you to do this. The castle is very big. It's okay to leave a place for her to rest."

"Hmph! My great knight, Catherine is my student, you don't need to worry about her affairs." Veronica leaned lazily on the pillow, the witch had a smile on her face, and Catherine, who was familiar with her mentor, knew that she was not angry .

Sure enough, Veronica finally said the most important sentence: "Starting today, Catherine, you don't need to call me a councilor anymore, you can call me a mentor in the future!"

"Yes... yes!" The little apprentice almost jumped up happily.

"You're tired too. It can be seen that you haven't had a good rest at night. In this way, you can take a good rest inside, and I'll go out for a while." Veronica scratched Catherine's head again, then got up, put on her boots, and stepped Get on the horse and ride alongside Lane.

The banquet was over, and the group left Bodleix, preparing to return to Ryan's territory.

"I'm going to prepare for the Winter Veil Festival when I go back." Ryan frowned, and said to the female knight beside him: "I'll stay in the territory for the festival this year. I have a lot of things to deal with when I arrive in the territory for the first year."

"Well, but I always feel that Ryan, you changed your mind because of Miss Bernadotte's arrival, right?" Suria's face was calm,

She smiled and said, "I always feel that you didn't think so."

Pretty dangerous smile.

It was hard for Ryan to answer, the old face of the Holy Grail Knight blushed, and Veronica caught up with her on horseback, and the witch smiled brightly: "It's okay, Miss Aintree, I will take care of Ryan beautifully and give You send it over."

"Oh? What I'm worried about is that Miss Bernadotte can't do this kind of work well with her magical hands." Suria looked away from Ryan and continued to smile at Witch Garland.

What are you arguing about, raise a fat pig and send it to slaughter? Ryan thought painfully.

At the same time, he could vaguely hear the laughter of the fairy in the lake.

Well, the ladies are watching too.

Along the way, the female knight and the witch talked to each other. A Miss Aintree and a Miss Bernadotte shouted very affectionately. The chat between them hardly stopped, but they did not quarrel. Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.

But when you think about it carefully, there is really no reason for them to quarrel. One of them is a witch of the Garland Council, and the other is the daughter of Duke Winford. Their identities are not "enemies" and their status is not equal. Veronica actually never She didn't expect to be Ryan's wife, so compared to Teresa, who has almost the same occupation and origin, Veronica actually lacks strong hostility towards Suria.

The same is true of the Duke's daughter. A mere witch cannot threaten her. The Marquis, who grew up in the court, naturally knows that the nobles need court consultants to provide magical answers. It is normal for the nobles to have a few female courtiers. .

After leaving Bodleux, along the road, Ryan led his team towards his territory.

When leaving the city, Ryan met familiar people again. Matthew Bud and Fiona will also leave the city. It has the largest opera house and the second largest library in Brittania.

"As far as it seems, this Mr. Matthew Bud is a good person. I hope he can take care of Fiona's bad temper." Suria is very optimistic about this pair, and the female knight pulls her dazzling blond hair to the In the back of my mind, I mentioned this matter.

"Difficult." Ryan shook his head: "A person's character is developed from childhood and then gradually finalized in youth. I think Miss Fiona is already sixteen or seventeen years old. At this age, I want to change her character. How difficult it is, either she needs to experience a major change, or she has to make efforts to correct it for many years, no matter which one is, it is very difficult."

"Lian, you are right." Suria could see that Ryan didn't want to care about this matter, and the female knight gave up continuing this topic.

It took almost half a day for Ryan and the group to reach the edge of the Principality of Boldro.

Normally, the number of Holy Grail knights is rare and the vast majority of Holy Grail knights are guarding the holy land of the Fairy Cathedral and Fairy Lake in the lake. There are very few Holy Grail knights who will appear in front of the common people. Huge cheers and a warm reception from the serfs.

But when we came to this small village called Legui Village, the situation was a little different.

Seeing the Holy Grail Knight appear, the old man of the village appeared in front of everyone from a distance. He had white beard and hair, and immediately knelt in front of Ryan when he met: "Master Holy Grail Knight, there is a serious situation, there is a serious situation! "

"What's the big deal?" Ryan signaled the team to stop.

The old man and a dozen militiamen from the village all knelt in front of Ryan: "Master Holy Grail Knight, it's a blood knight, those blood-red devils, it appeared again! A mission master knight heard about this and went to Against the Blood Knight, but..."

"But...?" Ryan's face became serious now.

"Master Holy Grail Knight, please come and take a look!" the old man kowtowed and said repeatedly.

The Holy Grail Knight is the hope of the serfs, and the Blood Knight is the most powerful existence among the undead knights. After thinking about it for a while, Ryan felt that he should stay.

"We will stop here tonight! Veronica, come with me to see what happened, and the rest... Katzenberg, you and Suria will return to Jean Territory first, Hurry up and get there before dark." Ryan jumped off his horse and ordered decisively.

"Yes!" Katzenberg replied immediately: "Understood, my baron."

"Lian, I'm going too!" Suria followed, but Ryan shook his head: "Suria, the blood knight is not an ordinary enemy."

The face of the Duke's daughter froze. Although Ryan hadn't finished speaking, Suria already understood what he meant.

Blood knights are not something ordinary people can deal with, and the strength of female knights is still weaker.

"I will wait for you in your territory." Suria didn't say anything more, and the female knight expressed her determination.

"Okay." Ryan watched the few people go away, then turned around, motioning for the old man to continue talking.

"Noble Holy Grail Knight, please come this way." The old man signaled Ryan to follow him to the big house in the village.

"Rend out a helping hand when you see someone? This is not like you." Veronica asked Ryan strangely, holding Ryan's hand.

"It's not a matter of abusing good people." Ryan's face was always very serious: "The existence of blood knights is a big worry for Britannia. As long as these powerful and terrifying knights appear, they will cause countless bloody storms. We As a Holy Grail Knight, I enjoy the worship of the entire country and the respect of the people, and when the Blood Knight appears, I must also stand up and confront it."

"You have a lot of reasons, it's okay, I'll accompany you." After hearing Ryan's explanation, Veronica didn't say anything more.

The two followed the old man into the big house. The furnishings in the house were very simple, the floor was dirt, the room was full of various sundries and there was a small amount of food, and there was a lot of chicken manure on the ground, but Ryan didn't pay attention. on these things.

In the open space in the middle of the big house was a pile of straw, on which was enshrined a corpse, which was a mission knight.

There are many huge wounds on the body of this mission knight. Half of a face was cut by a sharp blade. There were marks of wounds by the sharp blade on the chest, shoulders, and abdomen. The long sword held tightly in both hands was broken, and the shield did not know where to go up.

"When did you find out?"

"Master Holy Grail Knight, this is the mission knight master we found in the nearby grove a day ago. When we found him, he was already dead." The village elder began to talk about the cause and effect of this incident.

In the past week or two, traces of blood knights began to appear near Leji Village. These terrifying beings riding nightmare horses have appeared near the village recently, attacking the village. A few days later, the villagers will find that unlucky mummy appearing in a wild place near the village.

The whole village fell into panic, and the villagers reported to the nearby knight lord, who disappeared mysteriously after going to investigate.

Maybe it's not a mysterious disappearance, but...

Just when the villagers were desperate, a mission knight rode a half-breed elf horse and came to Leji Village.

He came in pursuit of the Holy Grail, and after listening to the pleadings and descriptions of the villagers, he declared loudly that he would bring justice to this arrogant villain.

Then it became like this.

"Master Holy Grail Knight, I beg you to save us! The evil blood knight has taken away our four children and an adult for more than a week. If this continues, we will die!" The old man knelt down again and begged help.

"Well, I understand." Ryan solemnly made the promise: "Leave the blood knight to me to deal with."

This is the promise of the Holy Grail Knight.

"We plow for you, we plow the land from the woodlands, we harvest and turn in the crops, we never rest except on statutory holidays, we build shrines, we arm ourselves, when the Beastmen emerge from the forest, when the greenskins burst forth In the valley, when the undead come out from the night, when the people of chaos come back again, we will raise our weapons and rise up to resist, we will chant your name, and hope that you will appear to save us from the fire, my Holy Grail Knight."

——Britanian serf folk songs

After agreeing to this request, Ryan and his group stayed overnight in the village as a matter of course. Since the blood knights usually appear at night, the village elders and villagers specially packed a clean room for Ryan and Veronica rest.

Ryan didn't rush to rest, instead he continued to examine the body of the dead mission knight.

Veronica took a wooden chair and sat down: "Blood Knights? I have heard of them, but I have never met them, dear, do you know about Blood Knights? How powerful these knights are, you must have the Holy Grail Knight confrontation?"

Ryan sighed softly. He arranged the corpse of the mission knight, let him hold the broken sword in front of his chest with both hands, took off his family badge and some valuables, and then motioned the villagers to take the corpse. Go and burn it, and then I have time to answer Veronica's words: "Yes, the blood knight is stronger than people's imagination. So far, few ordinary knights can defeat the blood knight. It is said that any mission knight can defeat the blood knight. There is a good chance of getting the approval of the lady."

"I understand what you said. What I want to know is, why are the blood knights so powerful? Why do they keep appearing in Britannia to cause trouble, but they rarely appear in other places?" Veronica sorted out He took off his clothes, then raised his long legs in black high-heeled boots, and holding his sweet face, he continued to ask with interest.

"This matter starts hundreds of years ago." Ryan walked to Veronica's side, hugged the witch on his lap, kissed her touching cherry lips, and then continued: "Hundreds of years ago, when Brittania was founded, the Empire was amazed by the powerful combat power displayed by the Knights of the Holy Grail. On the one hand, it was to show their strength to their allies, and on the other hand, it was also to show that the knights of the Empire were not bad, so The imperial court ordered the concentration of outstanding knights, and established a knight order on the side of the Gray Mountains near the empire, called the Blood Dragon Knights, and the castle was Blood Castle. , small but elite, they are powerful and warlike, and have won many honors as capital against the Holy Grail Knights."

Veronica put a pair of jade arms around Ryan's neck, beckoning him to continue.

"Things changed one night a hundred years ago. A man of great temperament and aristocratic attire appeared at the gate of Blood Castle and asked to enter the castle. He called himself Abbot Wallace, from Harken Family, after displaying powerful force, Wallace was allowed to enter the Blood Castle, thus opening the path of destruction for the Blood Dragon Knights."

"Aibo Wallace is not a human being, he is a powerful Sanctuary vampire knight with a lifespan of thousands of years, the blood dragon knights are not his opponents, so those blood dragon knights who have shown courage and honor in battle are transformed by him They became vampires, and just like that, Blood Castle became a place where vampires occupy themselves, and they called themselves Blood Knights."

"This incident was finally discovered by the empire. The three electors of the empire gathered tens of thousands of coalition forces to defeat and destroy the blood castle. Some of the blood knights fled to the empire and the southern countries, but most of them fled to Brita Nia."

"Unlike many vampire cavalry, blood knights are the most feared knights in the old world. They perfectly combine all the training and fighting creed in life with the extraordinary agility and strength of becoming undead. These knights are almost Indestructible, but even after becoming undead, they still abide by some basic knight codes and systems. Their purpose of living is neither to rule the world nor to satisfy their instinctive impulse to thirst for blood. They seek any method to exercise themselves Skill and heart, and look forward to the day when they will be reunited with their leader, Abbott Wallace."

Ryan narrowed his eyes, and he sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, not only the villagers are waiting for the Holy Grail Knight to appear, but the Blood Knight will not go far either, because he is also waiting for the Holy Grail Knight to appear, an ordinary knight They are too weak for these blood knights, only the Holy Grail Knights are their goals, and only by defeating the Holy Grail Knights can they get the honor they are looking for."

"It is the same for me, and I will dedicate his head to my lady."
