Chapter 20: Marseille's Old Grudge

A shattering sound of "Gele" suddenly sounded in the air! The unidentified object was originally an irregular rectangular shape, with most of its surface covered with a gray-white substance. The exposed metal base had fine patterns, and a breathtaking red light flashed on it.

When the gray-white substance absorbed the blood, cracks began to appear on it, and dust fell, turning into smoke in the air. The unidentified item gradually revealed its prototype. The bottom seemed to be a wide candlestick-like base, showing a golden color. The patterns on it were crisscrossed and woven, looking very exquisite, like an exquisite work of art.

What is held above the base is a red crystal ball. When people's eyes fall on it, they feel "absorbed", as if they are looking into the deep ocean. Although the red crystal ball is only It is less than twenty centimeters in diameter, but the line of sight cannot penetrate the hole at all, giving people a trance and confused feeling. Coupled with the majestic metal base like a crown, it not only looks mysterious and solemn, but also contains explosive weirdness. strength!

Unfortunately, Frank's blood didn't seem to be large enough, and it only corroded more than half of the gray-white sealing substance. A small part of the unidentified item was still wrapped in it, and its true appearance was still unable to be revealed. Fang Lin held this mysterious thing in his hands, thoughtfully.

Emerson's eyes almost widened at the side. He quickly ran into his own special portal and took out an instrument. He carefully pointed it at the thing and scanned it. Fang Lin only felt his hands get hot, and there was a soft explosion from there. Fang Lin looked back and saw Wuxian Fu beside him, laughing so hard. Emerson's face was charred, his hair was as disheveled as a chicken coop, and his white coat was very tattered and hung on his body. There was also a screw with half a spring stuck in the nostril... The detector clearly exploded violently, and Emerson murmured with straight eyes:

"How could this happen... This energy aggregation method is obviously very unstable, how can it be stable enough to be held in someone's hand? Is it because of the weird thing on the surface?"

Fang Lin smiled and sent the prop in front of Emerson, and said with a fox-to-chicken smile:

"Want to study?"

Emerson's face showed an expression of enthusiasm, joy, but timidity, and he couldn't help but nodded. This scientific madman really couldn't resist this mysterious and unknown temptation. The way prop energy operates in the magical world opened up another brand-new avenue in front of him.

For example, it is like a person who has climbed to the top of Mount Everest. He has been so cold and lonely for a long time that he has no way out. Suddenly he sees the person next to him who can fly away in the sky. The feeling of ecstasy is really indescribable, you have to explore it no matter what!

Fang Lin smiled slightly and said:

"Don't talk about research, it's okay to just give this thing to you."

The wretched man opened his mouth wide. His expression was as if the flesh on his body had been cut off alive. He jumped up and shouted urgently:

"Master! How can you give this thing away? It's very expensive!"

Emerson immediately glared at Fu Fu, looking like he wanted to find a few boxes of grenades and stuff them halfway into Xiao Fu's mouth. He nodded and bowed and pulled Fang Lin to the corner next to him and said with a smile:

"Can you really give this to me? I can't thank you enough for your kindness. Well... let go, why don't you let go! Didn't you say you wanted to give it to me?"

Fang Lin sighed and said:

"I lied to you, but if you can do one thing, it will be necessary for us to continue this deal."

Emerson swallowed. His face became extremely ugly. He knew that the young man in front of him seemed to be easy to talk to, but he was not a fuel-efficient lamp at all. How could a master who could be a wretched person be an ordinary person? I'm afraid I can gain some advantage by negotiating the price with Xuxiao Fu, but I won't be able to leave any room for negotiation with someone like Fang Lin, who can tell the truth. I can only obediently follow his plan. But Emerson looked at that very magical prop and couldn't let it go. He closed his eyes with a tearless expression and said in pain:

"Okay, tell me."

Fang Lin smiled, looked at Marcel standing blankly next to him and said:

"My condition is..."

…………..

After a group of people cleaned up the battlefield. White was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat. His face was green and his lips were white. White stumbled over. During the battle just now, there were five masked servants, two swordsmen with giant swords, and a short and fat palace guard. Seeing that the situation was not going well, they immediately surrendered. , Fang Lin didn’t kill them either. He was imprisoned nearby. Naturally, some wretched Fu Hu pretended to be powerful and rushed forward to train her.

Fang Lin, whose morale was extremely low and frightened, had no interest in them, so he naturally handed them over to White as his subordinate. White was filled with pain and anger and wanted to question him for not protecting him enough. This dandy has always been a despised character, but suddenly he has gained so many obedient and obedient subordinates, and he is immediately overjoyed.

This place is only about twenty miles away from the castle. Although the key pass of Wheat Plains has been blocked by the forces of the three strong men, it is only a highway that can allow large groups of people to enter and exit and transport large amounts of supplies. However, Fang Lin and the others took a steep path, so after an arduous trek, they quickly arrived at the entrance of Stromgarde.

The entrance to Stromgarde is already facing a formidable enemy. A large number of fortifications are built with solid oak, and the sharpened oak is densely crossed to form a wide fence. Fang Lin couldn't help but frown as he looked at the fortifications being built. The information in Stromgarde was obviously very detailed. Judging from the fortifications of this building, it is clearly to guard against powerful cavalry attacks! This means that the Fool's side has a very powerful cavalry force, which is why Stromgarde can take such a defensive posture!

When they arrived in front of Stromgarde, Fang Lin and his party continued to wear masked slave clothes and blended in among them in a very low-key manner. Marcel, who was wearing terrifying blood-patterned armor, walked in front as if he were a squad leader, while White, who "held the power", was proud and went to negotiate as a captain arrogantly. Naturally, he was holding Merlin's pale and withered head in his hand.

It is worth mentioning that the owner of the castle, Allen, is not in Stromgarde. Ten days ago, the messenger brought news that his brother, the evil Archduke Garibaldi, had created a magical silver armor to reward him, so Allen Lun set off and left his territory.

The deputy staying here is quite similar to the disciplinary knight Skorn in the i world. He only temporarily replaced Allen to exercise the rights of the castle master. After receiving the rebellion in the Wheat Plains, and even the master Balford was arrested for rashly going deep into the area. After the news of the killing, the people in Stromgarde felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Some people advocated taking the initiative to counter the rebellion, but they were suppressed by this deputy.

This deputy is very shrewd. He knows that Allen is the Archduke's younger brother and can never be brought down. Therefore, he does not seek merit but seeks no fault. He adopts a method of holding on and not using all-out defense. In one sentence, he blocks all those who ask to fight. go back:

What if it's a trick to lure the enemy? Even the knight Balford died under the enemy's trick. If Stromgarde is lost, will you be responsible?

Therefore, the defenses in front of the main road outside Stromgarde are very tight, and the troops relying on the fortifications to defend are also very elite. When White went to negotiate, Fang Lin discovered a new type of soldier, which was a burly and selected man, wearing blue and white precision armor, wearing a face-protecting hood, and holding a silver-white tower shield in his left hand. , but holding a one-handed ax in his right hand, his movement speed is more than twice as fast as a giant hammer like Marcel, and he is very agile, but his appearance is quite funny, and his head looks a bit like a duck.

During the interrogation process, these people in Stromgarde knew White, so they were not worried that he would rebel. Instead, they found it unbelievable that he killed Merlin. They always felt that this guy must have picked up a big advantage. This is indeed the case.

However, White had already taken countermeasures under Fang Lin's instigation. He pointed at Marcel, who was silently following him, and said proudly:

"Merlin was killed by the subordinate I rescued on the Wheat Plains! If my wise commander hadn't used him as bait, how could he have had time to kill me?"

The indifferent and stocky Marcel nodded silently, acknowledging what White said. At this time, after the armor on Marcel's body was filled with human blood, it showed a terrifying blood pattern shape, which was shocking. Everyone didn't think it before, but now that they were watching, they felt it was strange the more they looked at it. After all, under the command of the evil archduke, there was no such heavy-shielded giant hammer warrior wearing blood-patterned armor. They couldn't help but believe White's words.

At this time, the crisp sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from Stromgarde! You can see a burly figure galloping over on a horse that looks like charcoal. After Marcel saw the horse, there was suddenly a trace of vitality/anger in his originally lifeless eyes! The heavy armor worn by the burly figure was red all over and engraved with many messy patterns. It was a pair of armor with a magic circle. The burly figure galloped over and said condescendingly:

"You can also kill Merlin?

The contempt in his tone was ready to come out.
