Chapter 306 159. A Prisoner
The scout emerged from the bushes and brought back a piece of fresh bark. The knight captain showed a complicated expression.
"This is the mark of the Knights...meaning 'was' stationed here."
And this piece of bark is exposed with fresh fibers.
“Looking at the bright side, they might have just been corrupted by the Ratmen, which is common on the southern battlefield.”
"...There is no evidence that it is them."
Maybe they happen to be stationed here, maybe they are also chasing the murderer, maybe they have no choice...
There are three knights stationed in the royal city. Regiment: The Knights of the Praetorian Guard belong to the royal family, the Knights of the Golden Lion belong to the nobles, and the Knights of the Retinue belong to the Knights of the Holy Grail.
When the fifteenth Holy Grail Knight Kleb Frankel Perkins went to the border, he took away nearly half of the members of the Retinue Knights. Only the Guards Knights and the Golden Lion Knights were still active. The cavalry squad that followed Annan came from the latter.
The former is stationed in the forest.
"Have you been discovered by them?" Annan received a no reply from the scout, "Then let them discover you."
Annan asked the team to pretend to be passing by without discovering them. As the protagonist of the first magical image from another world, Annan teaches the knights how to act and approach the cavalry station.
First the scouts discovered each other, and then the other party's knight captain came out to verify. The cavalry proved the origin of Annan and the others, and Annan and the others proved the origin of the cavalry.
This team of the Guards Knights said that they had taken on a secret mission and would be stationed in the forest for a period of time.
“What about you?”
"We accepted the mission and sent the nobles to Rongguang County..." Master Aemon answered. Annan is that nobleman.
"Go this way?"
"You will encounter rat men outside..."
The young and handsome captain thought for a moment: "The dark forest is not "It's safe, and there are still ghostly elves. I suggest you leave during the day tomorrow" and then "kindly" give them half of the camp.
Annan secretly instructed the knight captain Mo Lin to agree to him, and they entered the camp. There is no trace of corruption or any malice, and no one would associate them with the Corrupted Knights.
The knight captain breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it was just a coincidence.
"Everyone takes turns to keep vigil tonight." Molin paused slightly, "Keep a distance from the people of the Knights of the Guard."
As dusk ended, they lit fires, cooked, and passed by Mage Aemon purified it and distributed it to the knights.
Annan did not rest. As the rat-man nemesis known to everyone in Planng's Gift County, he was searching for clues about the rat-men... but the guard knights were really clean.
In the quiet forest late at night, only insects chirped. Annan sat outside the tent, listening to the sounds of the forest.
At a certain moment, Annan felt the breath of nature in this peace.
Annan left his seat, and Master Aemon, who was sleeping, opened his eyes: "Where are you going?"
"I feel something outside the camp..."
"I'm with you."
"No need. Don't worry, the most powerful person in this team is me."
If the Holy Grail Knight's protection and teleportation scroll can't protect you, then just raise your hands and surrender to the Rat Man.
Annan held the magic lamp and left the camp, following the traces of natural breath. He stood in the quiet forest away from the gaze of the camp guards.
The looming observation resurfaces. Maybe an elf, maybe a druid.
Annan first imitated the etiquette of the tree man Druid and gestured to the depths of the dark forest. When there was no response, he switched to the etiquette of the elf.
Wow--
The wind blew the treetops, bringing an indistinguishable whisper: "Why do you know the etiquette of moon elves and druids?"
"My friends taught me, they are elves and druids. "Friend?"
"Yes, friend... do you know Yi Ruilanze?"
"Then...why do humans with status? Breaking into our forest ”
"A group of corrupt knights have committed many killings in human territory, and we have been pursuing this... No offense, have you discovered any suspicious existence approaching the forest?"
"You."
" Except for us...at least except for the knights who came first." Annan shook his head and drew a clear line between them and the knights of the guard. "Beautiful and noble elf, do you really not know?"
"...I only know that you humans were stationed in the forest with a prisoner before."
"You You mean they are bringing prisoners?”
Annan couldn't think of the reason why they did this, but the prisoners should know something.
"Thank you, you helped me a lot!" Before returning to the camp, Annan reminded the elves: "You'd better be careful of the rat men... they are not far from here."
The breeze blew. , the surroundings were silent.
Annan returned to the camp and told the knight captain and wizard Aemon who woke up and waited for him.
"They didn't tell me about the prisoner." said the knight captain.
"So we should sneak in... Is there any way you can keep me from being discovered?"
"Advanced invisibility. Their team is the same as ours and will not be discovered." The bad news is that Master Aemon forcibly released the advanced invisibility. After the invisibility operation, you will be extremely weak and will be unable to cast spells today.
"It doesn't matter."
Annan opened the first portal of the day: large elements appeared in the tent one after another through the portal.
"Leave it to me." said the knight captain. His reason was that he was better at infiltrating than Annan, but Annan refused on the grounds that "I am confident that I will deal with them when their whereabouts are discovered."
Master Aemon knocked off the blue spar on his staff, replaced it with a gray-white spar, and then released the advanced invisibility technique.
At the expense of Master Aemon's weakness and the crystal turning into powder, Annan's figure disappeared in the tent.
......
In the tent patrolled and guarded by guards, the old mage, who was bound in a cage and covered with scars, lowered his head. Only the faint rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.
Sasa——
The slight friction sound did not disturb the guards sitting on both sides of the tent, but only made the old mage in the cage raise his head.
The dust in front of him formed an inverted vocabulary: "Who are you?"
"The temptation of foolishness..."
The old mage grunted indistinctly, Showing broken teeth.
The guard remained indifferent, seeming accustomed to the old mage's constant cursing day and night.
"Why did they arrest you?"
The old mage's ridicule gradually subsided. He didn't know what he was thinking, and wrote with the same inversion with his feet.
Annan suddenly caught a glimpse of the guard raising his head from the corner of his eye. He hurriedly wiped the writing. As soon as he covered the second line, the old mage raised his leg to cover the mark.
The strange movements attracted the attention of the guards. They came to the cage and stared at the old mage who was hanging his head. They pulled out their swords, reached into the cage and opened the mage's robe.
The text "Who are you" appeared in front of them. His companion drew his sword, the guard continued to push aside the mage's robe, and new words appeared on the ground: Idiot.
