Chapter 218 Gifts
After a simple exchange in the hall, the team was led by Colin, and in the envious eyes of many students, they entered the teleportation point out the Dark Academy.
Then follow the street and head to the north of the city.
They didn't notice it at all, and there was an "tail" behind them.
"Although he is a talented person, he is just a burning knight after all. He is still very different from me." [Just Earl] Crowe followed Colin and others easily and casually.
His pupils with strange colors were a little congested, and he looked like he was still hangover.
But he was so energetic that he embezzled Anderson Walker's money, flew away, and embarked on a new adventure.
............
After Colin and others quickly arrived at the North City Gate, they went north with a familiar road. The last time they went to [Black Iron Castle] was the road I took. Although the location of this mission was a bit far from [Black Iron Castle], there was a long way to overlap.
When I first left Dark City, there were still many pedestrians on the road. There were some magicians who were walking alone or several people flying in the air, and there were fully armed knights walking on the ground.
But after walking for a while, there were fewer pedestrians on the road. When the pointer of the pocket watch pointed to 3 pm and Colin and others turned into a path, there were no one on the road.
At the same time, Knights such as Colin, Newgate, Edward, Alice, etc. were also alert. Miss Xuemi and Jessica occasionally supported the magic shield and flew into the sky to conduct regular patrols.
Therefore, Jessica discovered the [quasi-elephant] Crowe, who was hanging far behind and quickly approached the middle.
"Colin, there is a man approaching us quickly, very strong." Jessica's face fell from the air with a strange look, and she said a rare long passage.
Whether it is strength or prestige, Colin is now the core of this team.
Colin frowned. This place is sparsely populated and is a distance from Dark City. I really need to be wary of it.
"Stop and be on guard. But don't show hostility, as the other party is just a hurry to go on the road." Colin said.
Everyone agreed immediately and carefully came to the side of the road. The knights surrounded the magician in the middle. Soon after, Colin saw the [quasi-earl] Crowe.
This was the first time he saw someone with a different pupil, and he couldn't help but be surprised. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Colin did not look at the other party too much.
However, [Quest Earl] Clauke stopped, making Colin and others alert.
"Colin Russell." [Just Earl] Crowe raised his head and looked at Colin carefully, then smiled and said, "I am Crowe, nicknamed [Just Earl]."
Colin looked surprised when he heard this. Why is this guy's nickname very similar to someone? The unlucky guy who is often caught.
And this name seems to be the same as the unlucky guy I killed.
This guy knows me!!!
"Forgive me for being rude, I don't seem to know you." Colin stood up, but his right hand tidied up his companions behind his back, and asked calmly.
"Arthur is my brother. He wrote to me about you. I am very grateful for saving him and I also have a gift for you. But you can only know this gift."
[Quest Earl] Clauke said with a smile.
Colin raised his eyebrows and turned out to be a brother. One of these two brothers was nicknamed [Baron] and the other was called [Baron]. Will there be another called [Baron]?
If it is the fourth brother, maybe there is another one called [Quest Duke]. If it is the fifth brother...
Banned dolls.
Colin shook his head and threw out the strange thoughts in his mind. He believed it a little, but he didn't believe it all. He calmly raised his head and said to the other party, "Where is Arthur's origin? What is he doing now?"
"He was born in the ocean countries. As for which country it is, I believe he will not tell you. He is now the chief knight of Heini City State. With the strong support of Countess Phil, he has been promoted to the Burning Knight and his strength continues to increase."
[Quest Earl] Clauke didn't care much about Colin's vigilance and continued to say with a smile.
If you don’t have this warning, don’t hang out.
Colin narrowed his eyes. This guy probably didn't lie. But why did he look for me? And he wanted to talk alone? After thinking about it, Colin even further broke out of the team and came to the [Quest Earl] Crowe, and snapped his fingers.
Soundproof magic.
"The reason I saved Arthur was just because I needed his help. You brothers don't have to worry about it." After Colin calmly finished speaking, he paused and asked again: "Do you have anything else?"
"Although you said that, I still have to thank you." [Just Earl] Crowk first took out a bottle of red wine with green stickers from the space ring and threw it to Colin, then said, "This is a thank you."
"There is a man named Anderson Walker who pays me to kill you and bid 2,000 gold coins. Be careful."
After saying that, [Quest Earl] Crowk walked out of sound insulation magic and ran away quickly towards the north.
Simply, neatly.
Colin's pupils shrank, and he suddenly turned to look at the [Quest Earl] Crowe who was leaving quickly. This guy is definitely a third-level knight and has bid 2,000 gold coins.
This price is high enough for a Burning Knight.
He had no idea that Anderson Walker would just find someone to kill him.
If the killer Anderson had not found was Crook, then even if my companions fought to the death, they would probably be a sacred person.
Colin couldn't help but feel cold on his back, his body was cold, and his face gradually turned blue. But after a moment, a cold light flashed in Colin's eyes and his face returned to normal.
OK. After you go back, find an opportunity to settle the score with this guy.
Immediately, Colin canceled the soundproofing magic, glanced at the confused people, thought for a while, and decided to continue this mission. It is hard to say in the future, but at least this mission should be safe. There is a rare opportunity, so I will improve my strength first.
Thinking of this, Colin threw the red wine in his hand to Newgate and said, "Let's go."
Everyone looked aside for a long time, but they didn't hear a word because of sound insulation magic, so they were of course curious. But Colin didn't explain. After looking at each other for a while, they could only hide their doubts in their stomachs and the group continued to go north.
In the north are continuous mountains. Like the Black Iron Fort, this small town called [Seri] appears, and is also located among the mountains.
However, compared with the Black Iron Fort, this small town of Seri does not have any special production and is relatively barren.
There are thousands of permanent residents, only a few Sunrise Knights and a Burning Knight guarding them. In the dark secret realm, there are many similar towns like this.
Dark City will not collect taxes from these towns, but will provide subsidies in the event of disaster years. The meaning of the existence of a town is to provide a continuous population for Dark City.
A talented person becomes a knight or a magician, and a talented person continues to reproduce.
At noon two days later, the sun was shining.
Colin and others arrived at this town located between the mountains. Unlike the Black Iron Fort, the town itself is located on a mountain top and is a mountain city.
It is made of white rocks as a whole, and the streets rise up in a spiral manner.
Colin and his group were respectfully questioned by the guards at the gate of the city. There was no way, the armor and robes worn by the group were too dazzling, so it would be impossible to be disrespectful.
After learning that Colin and his party were the ones who were here in the Dark City to solve the resentful incident, the guards were even more happy, and then volunteered to take everyone to the mayor's residence in the city.
The so-called mayor's residence is quite grand. It is made of white stone and has four three-story buildings. The roof is covered with red tiles and a symbol of dark city is inserted.
Black Dragon Flag.
After a conversation, Colin was welcomed by the servants of the mayor's residence to eat black tea and waited for a while before meeting the mayor Chick who was rushing to see.
Mr. Mayor is an old knight with white hair and wrinkles on his face, and is also the only burning knight in the town.
After a brief greeting, Mayor Chick and Colin and his group sat down again. Colin sat on the sofa appropriately, bowed slightly to Mayor Chick and said, "Mr. Mayor. Can you tell us about this "resentful spirit"?"
The description of the task introduction is very simple, and many of them need to be investigated by Colin and others themselves.
Mayor Chik nodded seriously and said, "This matter starts a long time ago."
Colin frowned slightly, a long time ago? Isn’t this all kinds of strange things that happened because of the invasion of the evil god?
Mayor Chick did not notice Colin's expression changes, but told him in a casual manner.
The origin of the matter was about a hundred or ten years ago. A mysterious magician named Ain came to Seri Town to settle down. The magician basically did not leave his home and rarely dealt with the residents of Seri Town.
But this is normal. The dark secret realm never lacks magicians, and most of them are mysterious. They can stay away from home for months or even years for a certain experiment.
A few years later, the magician Ain suddenly disappeared. Without a corpse, without any words, he disappeared in vain.
Afterwards, the town officials entered the magician Ain's house for investigation, but found no clues, and the matter was left to nothing.
The magicians are mysterious and often disappear. After fifty years, the magician still did not appear. Therefore, his house was officially taken away and resold.
After another, the house was replaced by several owners and they were always in peace.
Until not long ago, the evil gods invaded. Saili Town was a remote town that was not attacked by the evil gods believers. With the victory of the Dark City, they spent that period of time peacefully.
But not long ago, the last owner of the house, the doctor named Oni, suddenly died inexplicably. After that, a resentful spirit appeared in the town of Seri.
This resentful spirit is not powerful and cannot do anything to the knights. However, it is fatal to mortals, and more than ten figures of victims have died so far.
All officials, including Mayor Chik, suspected that the resentment was related to the magician's house, but after investigation, no clue was found.
