Chapter 10 Undercurrent

A luxurious and spacious carriage drove out of Noahs Castle and slowly headed east. In front and behind the carriage were several soldiers in leather armor. There was also a maid accompanying the carriage. It looked quite solemn. It was obvious that someone important was sitting in the carriage.

"Madam, we are about to reach that place!" In the carriage, the middle-aged maid respectfully said to Elena who was sitting next to her.

Elena nodded to indicate that she understood.

The carriage continued to drive eastward. After a while, the carriage stopped. There was a noisy sound outside the carriage. Then the curtain was lifted and a man's figure came in from outside: "Madam, we have reached the destination!"

"Thank you, Cage!" Elena said with a smile. Those who could come out with her were all her confidants in Noahs Castle. Although there were not many people, they were the only people Elena could trust in Noahs Castle.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." The man named Cage replied. He lowered the curtain, and the middle-aged maid reached out and helped Lady Elena, who was sitting in the carriage, to stand up slowly.

When Elena got off the carriage, a lush forest appeared in front of her. The carriage stopped in the middle of the path, and the soldiers dispersed and patrolled around.

The middle-aged maid helped Elena walk into the forest. There were many trees growing in the forest. The sunlight shone through the thick branches and leaves to form mottled shadows, giving people a hazy feeling.

Elena and the middle-aged maid walked deeper. Not long after walking, they saw a man in black clothes and a cloak appear in front of them next to a banyan tree. The man buried his head in his hat, revealing only the lower half of his face.

"Lady Elena, don't be nervous. I was sent by Lord Viscount Claire to help you." The man in black said in a low voice.

"Help me? Just you?" Elena's face changed slightly, and she asked with a slightly surprised tone. She knew that her father would send people to help her, but she didn't expect that he only sent one person.

"Of course not, Lord Viscount Claire sent a lot of people. I just came to report the situation to you. If you need it, I can notify them to come over." The man in black said.

After hearing his explanation, Elena felt a little relieved: "No, I just don't want things to go wrong."

"Okay, Lord Viscount has ordered me to cooperate with you fully. Please tell me if you have any orders." The man in black said.

"What you have to do is very simple, that is to kill the illegitimate son of Ximan Noyers! My father should not want to see the title that originally belonged to us being taken away by a illegitimate son, right?" Elena's mouth showed a sneer, but her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light.

The man in black was slightly startled when he heard this, but he did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Elena and said, "Madam, Noahs Castle is heavily guarded. It is difficult for us to sneak into the castle to assassinate."

"So, we must create some chaos first!" Elena narrowed her eyes and said coldly. Her beautiful face exuded a hint of cruelty under the shining of the mottled sunlight.

"I will create chaos and open the castle gate. Then you can sneak into the castle and do it. As long as that guy dies, the right to inherit the title will belong to me, and my son's title will be inherited by me!" Elena's eyes flashed with crazy light.

As for the reason for her son's death, she had long forgotten it. The inheritance of the title was what she was most concerned about now.

The man in black was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

The two talked about some details again, and the man in black disappeared silently in the woods, and Elena returned to the carriage.

The carriage set off again, heading towards the original destination.

…………

In the training ground of Noahs Castle, a group of teenagers gathered together, cheering and shouting.

In the space they surrounded, two people were fighting.

One of them was a teenager wearing a white battle suit, with short black hair and eyes like sapphires. This person was Ximan.

The other one was wearing a gray battle suit. Although his face was still a little immature, he was tall and easily dealt with Ximan's attack.

This person was called Kate. He was the most outstanding among the children who were receiving knight training. He was about the same age as Ximan, but he already had the strength of a mid-level knight attendant. He was a little genius.

"Huh!" Ximan took a deep breath, bent his body slightly, and suddenly raised the wooden sword in his hand, slashing at his opponent fiercely.

"Bang!" The young man in the gray battle suit reacted quickly, and the wooden sword in his hand accurately blocked Ximan's attack.

Seeing that his attack was blocked, Ximan stepped on the ground with his toes, his body changed, and the wooden sword in his hand drew a strange arc, attacking Kate again.

However, Kate still easily blocked it, and Kate didn't even take a step back.

"Pah pah pah!"

The two quickly exchanged dozens of blows. The whole process was Ximan attacking, and Kate was on the defensive. Ximan's attack was calmly blocked by Kate.

Ximan tried to attack several times in a row, but was easily resolved. Finally, he stopped attacking and said with a heavy breath: "No more fighting, no more fighting, I give up!"

Kate put down the wooden sword with an embarrassed smile on her face: "Master Ximan, you have only practiced for a few days, and you already have this strength. It is only a matter of time before you surpass me."

Seaman has only been practicing knighthood for a few days. Not only has he become a junior knight attendant, but he is also very proficient in swordsmanship. This talent is not something Kate and the others can match.

Not to mention, the boy in Kate's eyes will become their loyal target, so Kate naturally does not dare to neglect He-Man.

Seaman shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Stop praising me, how can I compare with you, Kate, you are the real genius!"

Kate scratched her head: "Master Heman, please don't praise me. I can only be regarded as an ordinary genius, but you are a real genius."

Seeing this, Seaman smiled. He also understood Kate's character and did not continue.

Seaman put down the wooden sword in his hand and walked towards the rest area nearby. Nicole and Sally, who were waiting in the rest area, immediately came forward. One used a towel to wipe Seaman's sweat, and the other handed Seaman water.

While Seaman was drinking water, he was thinking about Viscount Noahs. His safety rested on Viscount Noahs, and he also hoped that Viscount Noahs trip would go smoothly and there would be no accidents.

Otherwise, he would really be doomed!
