Chapter 227 The Puppet and the Will

Three hours before Nata left the village—that is, in the early morning of November 3, a secret meeting was held in a manor named "Moloch".

This manor is located in the northern part of the Efta territory, close to the Lars Mountains, and the entire territory also belongs to an Earl named Owen Blitz.

Because Earl Owen borders the border, he owns a relatively large land, and he has many knights entrusted to him. In terms of military strength alone, he can rank among the top three in the territory—and at this time, the meeting in the "Moloch" manor was organized by The earl presides.

The firewood in the fireplace was "crackling" and burning vigorously, but the expressions of the few people sitting in the hall were cold and serious.

"Revenge is inevitable, but until now, who can tell me... who killed Lord Ansadin?

"My men were sent out, but contact was lost."

"My team is on the way and should have an answer soon."

Except for Earl Owen, the other three noble lords in the hall at this time are all baron first-level titles. Their territories are scattered throughout Efta, and there is almost no communication on weekdays—but they are gathered together at this time because of the only thing they have in common——

These four lords are all puppets controlled by Ansardin's "soul extraction potion".

After staying in the Karen Kingdom for seventeen years, Ansardin, who has the title of "genius pharmacist", will not only transform Viscount Telanca, let alone have a deal with the lord Earl Durant.

After seventeen years of hard work, Ansadin's "infiltration" of the Karen Kingdom has long been limited to the duchy of Efta—the nobles or other institutions that have had contact, contact, and transactions with him have long been spread all over the country. If war breaks out, the "resources" controlled by the necromancer will definitely bring unimaginable damage to the kingdom.

Fortunately, everything is stopped by Rody now, but even though the only "puppet master" has died, as puppets who signed the soul contract, as long as Ansadin's soul remains alive, they will still continue to fulfill the contract... To put it simply The point is to avenge the "puppet master" Ansardin and continue to carry out his unfinished tasks.

Compared with the other nobles who were aloof and ambiguous, these four lords obviously had no way out, so the only topic among them at this time was "how to take revenge"——

"Angmar is too confused. He ignored the matter of Kieg Town. He is currently putting all his resources on the western defense line, so many people are now focusing on the territory of Tranka."

"Lord Owen, news has just come that...Tranka is dead.

"

"died?"

The voice paused, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Kig Town will completely become a land of no man..."

"There will be a lot of people fighting over..."

"...Why don't you take this opportunity..."

Although they have become puppets, their brains are still as good as before, and they are still proficient in conspiracies and political struggles. After simple talks, some information is gradually summarized.

"It seems to have something to do with the baron named Soderol."

"Then look it up, and pay attention to the movements of the Rose Cross. They never hide their hostility towards the Tasman Kingdom. If these religious lunatics are involved, things will be very difficult."

After talking like this for a while, a consensus was reached on certain issues. The warm firelight of the fireplace drove away the cold, but the nobles with the hearts of the dead hid their faces under the hoods.

"After the revenge is over, what are we going to do?"

Hearing this, a few pale faces suddenly appeared a little dazed.

After a brief silence, Earl Owen said slowly: "We will continue the research of Lord Ansardin, and report the results to His Majesty Augustine regardless of the results."

The voice turned from loud to soft, and the subsequent words were almost inaudible, "Master Ansardin has searched for clues to the 'charged spar' in the Lars Mountains. Presumably this is what His Majesty Augustine also needs..."

With these words, the remaining lords had a backbone, nodded silently, and scattered away. In the cold air, these nobles who had inherited Ansardin's "last wish" stepped on the carriage returning to the territory and began to prepare Started their own conspiracy...

Time passed, and three hours later, Nata, who noticed that the atmosphere in the forest was not right, had already left the village and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

The voice in front became more and more obvious, Nata clenched the short bow tightly, but a question popped up in her mind involuntarily - "If Rody is here, what would he do?"

After witnessing Rody's battle scene with her own eyes, Nata, who was deeply affected, could no longer avoid this way of thinking. Even though there was resentment in her heart, Roddy's strength had already impressed her deeply—so Roddy's fighting habits , has become the "benchmark" in Nata's subconscious.

Stopping to listen, some familiar voices came from the wind, Nata recalled Rody's choice, turned around and climbed up the tree next to her - after the field of vision suddenly widened, the distant The scene can be seen immediately.

However, at this moment, screams suddenly resounded in the forest, and a black shadow descended from the sky flew across quickly, bringing up fallen leaves from the sky and knocking away a running wood elf at the same time

The figure that flew out spun and landed on the ground, with a huge gap in the bloody back. Nata took a closer look and found that it was Lando who fell on the ground

The young hunters from the village also came running from the rear. They were completely frightened at this time, and fled in a panic under the attack of the black shadow. As the opponent swooped down again, Nata finally saw who the opponent was. A giant black raven with red eyes

Flying monsters...

In the past, Nata would definitely run as far as this kind of guy, but at this time she only hesitated for a second before stepping out, and dashed towards Lando's position with her flexible hands, the short bow in her hand He also lifted it up, and shot three arrows at the black crow——

The arrows shot during the run were not very accurate after all, but the black crow was attracted by Nata's attention, and with a strange cry, it flew over with a flutter of wings.

Nata, who was standing on a branch seven or eight meters high, seemed to be rushing towards the opponent face to face at this moment. However, at this moment, Nata didn't feel much panic... Her body suddenly stopped on the thick tree. Up, nock, draw, aim.

The distance of more than fifty meters is only one and a half seconds for the black crow to fly, but Nata completed all the preparations in less than a second. pull, arrows shoot out

The black crow didn't run amok like ordinary monsters. After seeing Nata's movements, it immediately made a rollover and dodge movement—but it was right in Nata's trap. Short bow, drawn dagger...

Jumping up, pounced forward, and the figures staggered past.

On the ground, Lando endured the pain that made him almost faint, and took a panoramic view of the scene in front of him—Nata, who jumped from the tree, had no buffer all the way. It looked a little embarrassed.

But the black crow that chased them all the way and caused serious injuries to the four of them flew out like a cannonball, "crackling" and broke several trees, and then slumped in the center of a giant tree with black feathers. Flying in all directions, corpses whose bones had been shattered fell to the ground with an unknown number of shatters...
