The Amber Sword

Scene 344 The Eve of Fate I

"Oops, Mr. Star and Caglis are still inside!" Haruze thought of this and ignored the scratches on his face and arms. He got up and rushed towards the Earl's mansion, but Mikaya stretched out his foot and he Then he fell flat on his face. ⊙,

"What are you doing!?" Haruze looked at Mikaya's prank angrily.

"Their target is you. Do you really want to go back?"

"them?"

"No." Mikaya raised her chin in the direction of the Earl's Mansion, where the flames were blazing. Haruze turned around and saw several nobles dressed as guests rushing out of the thick smoke, but there was no look of panic on their faces. Instead, they were calm and almost indifferent.

More importantly, there was a mysterious tattoo on their cheeks, and their eyes showed a strange silver color in the dark environment.

Haruze was so frightened that he almost screamed when he saw those eyes that were so cold and inhuman. He subconsciously grabbed his sword, but it was empty, and then he remembered that he had left the weapon in the room.

Haruze groaned secretly, but when he saw those people rushing towards him, he quickly turned around and winked at Mikaya desperately, signaling her to go first.

But Mikaya remained unmoved and watched as those people came closer, but they stopped and glanced at Haruze.

"It's strange. Where is the person? He clearly saw someone coming this way?"

The other person was silent. He raised his hand and a silver ripple swept in this direction. He frowned: "The aura of dark magic is so strong. Could it be that he was rescued by witches?"

"Can we pursue them in the opposite direction of the flow of magic power?"

"Do you want to go to Bunosong to fight the witch? Let's go back. The little prince can't go far. Let's go and intercept the baby girl first."

Those people were standing right in front of his nose and talking, and Haruze felt that his heart was about to stop. But he didn't even dare to take a breath.

After finally waiting for the other party to turn around and leave, he was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of water, and gasped: "They are Buga people! Why are they here!?"

"Of course it's to catch you, His Majesty the future king of Eruin."

Haruze looked at the girl in surprise: "Who are you?"

"Obviously, a witch, didn't you just hear that?"

"But how old are you?"

"Some people were already kings when they were my age."

"I'm not the king yet."

Micaiah only wrinkled her nose.

Haruze stood up. He patted the dust on his clothes and said, "Thank you for saving me, Mikaya, but I still have to go back."

"You will only die if you go back."

"Even then, I have to go back. Besides, if their target is me, it may not be safe outside. I have to warn Mr. Eco."

"I'm really convinced by you, okay. I'll go with you." Mikaya also patted the dust on her skirt with her small hands, stood up and replied.

"Miss Mikaya," Haruze was stunned: "You don't need to take risks with me..."

"Don't show off, His Majesty the future king of Eruin, are you going to refuse my help?" The little girl rolled her eyes at him. Haruze was speechless. The little girl had already waved to him and said:

"Come this way."

Her figure disappeared into a side alley like a kitten, and Haruze hesitated for a moment. Then I followed him.

The banquet hall was in a mess, but a moment ago it was brightly lit and full of laughter. This moment has been replaced by a scene of panic.

Thick smoke billowed in the courtyard, and fires shot into the sky everywhere. The long table was overturned by the panicked crowd, and countless footprints were trampled on the snow-white tablecloth. Broken cups and plates were scattered on the floor, and fruits rolled everywhere. The red wine overflowed across the stone slabs and flowed across the ground, joining the blood.

There are injured people everywhere. Screams and painful moans came one after another. The panicked crowd was rushing out of the courtyard, and from time to time a delicate lady was knocked to the ground.

But no one cared. Some people were burned by the smoke and rolled on the ground covering their eyes, while others were calling for their families and relatives. There was a loud cry.

The violent explosion caused a corner of the Earl's mansion to completely collapse. Eco pushed with his hand, causing the rubble and gravel that fell on him to slide away. His face looked full of blood, but in fact it was just an explosion. He suffered some skin injuries.

He glanced at his wife. Yura was holding their daughter, her face was pale, and she was leaning against him tightly, but fortunately she was safe. The young Duke breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and looked at the miserable scene in the courtyard with a sinking face.

The deceased court master Lee Woods was once his teacher. Although he was only a knight, he had a deep knowledge of magic. He could tell that the explosion just now was not an explosion at all, but a premeditated magic attack.

Eco saw his guard captain running over from a distance, who was leading a team of Lantonilan knights. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his family leader was safe and sound. He said urgently: "Sir, it is not safe here. Please move to a safer place with Madam immediately."

"Where are our soldiers?" Eco asked angrily: "How could so many evil-minded guys sneak into Bernicher and enter my daughter's banquet!?"

"My lord, now is not the time to talk about this," the guard captain replied: "The patrolling cavalry has not responded yet. Sir Chanos may have been killed. Those people were disguised as guests at the banquet. Each of them has obtained an identity. proven."

"This must be a despicable conspiracy!" Eco replied through gritted teeth. He patted his guard captain on the shoulder and said, "You hold on here for a moment. My captain, as the lord of this place, I must stay, but in Until then, I must protect my wife and children."

"As you wish, my lord." The guard captain bowed to him.

"Yura, this way." Eco turned back to look at the burning courtyard one last time before turning and leaving with his beloved wife. After the captain of the guard watched the Duke's figure disappear completely, he turned back and ordered the knights: "Guard this passage. No one is allowed to leave without permission before the Duke returns."

"clear!"

Star was hiding behind a low fence at the moment and saw with his own eyes these knights spreading out in all directions and setting up defenses. The moment the explosion occurred, it reacted and dived into the bushes.

It was extremely timid, and now it was so frightened that it was trembling and didn't dare to show its head. Although it knew in its heart that its most important responsibility at the moment was to protect the safety of the little prince, at the moment it was at war with nature and was hesitant to put itself in danger.

It felt that the knights in front of it might help it, but who knew what they would think, maybe they would kill it. Star felt that he could no longer protect himself. His upper and lower teeth kept chattering, as if he had completely lost the ability to stay calm.

Just as it was hesitating, several noble guests suddenly rushed out of the thick smoke and rushed straight to the Earl's mansion.

When the knights saw this, they immediately shouted sharply and told these people to stop immediately.

But instead of not listening, the intruders speeded up.

The captain of the guard of Grand Duke Lantonilan was the first to feel something was wrong and subconsciously drew his sword. One of the noble guests suddenly stopped, ripped off his coat, raised his hand and pointed at the guard captain. The guard captain screamed, flew into the air, and fell into the sea of ​​​​fire behind him.

The knights woke up from their dreams and rushed towards the intruders. However, the noble guests who broke in each took out a cane from under their coats, connected their hands, and silver beams of light suddenly flashed in the courtyard. The thick armor of Lantonilan Knight seemed as thin as paper under these silver beams, and was easily penetrated. Amidst the screams one after another, the battle came to an end in an instant.

Only a few minutes had passed since the guard captain died and the last knight fell on the charging road.

The noble guests who had killed the guards took off their coats, revealing the silver tattoos on the backs of their hands and necks. When Star saw the cold silver eyes on these people's faces, he was so frightened that he almost couldn't maintain the magical transformation applied by the wizards in advance and transformed back into dragon form.

It naturally understood at this moment that this was a premeditated attack - and the attacker was actually an old acquaintance of the dragons, the Gray Mage of the Buga people.

"Oh my god, the Buga people must be crazy."

"By the way, they are crazy!"

"I have to think of something, Star, please think of something quickly..."

"Something has happened to the little prince. You must save him, Star..."

"Don't be afraid, you have to think about that terrible woman, she will definitely go crazy..."

"No, no, but it's still too dangerous out there. You'll die."

It was muttering nervously. Finally, a gray mage turned his head and spotted this guy hiding in the bushes with his butt sticking out. He turned around and walked in this direction.

At that moment, Star only felt that the sky was falling. It felt that it must be dead, and death had already come to it. The boundless fear finally made it let out a shrill scream, turned its head and bumped into a nearby place. One of the outer walls directly hit a hole in the outer wall.

Then, he fainted.

The gray mage stopped and stared at all this in stunned silence.

"What's the matter?" asked his companion.

"No, just a little fat guy..." Gray Mage shook his head in disbelief.

"Is he still alive? Just kill him."

"No, I think he is already dead." As he said this, Master Gray glanced at the gap in the wall with lingering fear: "Oh my God, this guy is so strong..."
