Chapter 19 Traitor, Princess and Knight
"come in."
Opening the door, Amy sat on the desk under the dim yellow light.
The Knox girl supported her small face with her left hand, her right hand was spread flat, and a white crow stood obediently on her hand.
The girl's face was expressionless, and her purple eyes were shining with a strange light.
"The old guy from Bertram wanted to be my butler, and he told a lot of truth about it. Ken, what do you think of this family when you stay with Bertram's grandson for so long?"
As if she was worried that Ken would be too polite, the girl added: "This is your work report as a security guard to protect me. You can sit down at the table, there are chairs there."
Ken cleared his throat carefully.
"I have seen many families like this before."
Ken sat on the chair by the table. He hadn't seen this chair when he came in the morning. It must have been moved here specially.
It's the same style as the chair Amy sits on.
"This kind of ambitious type is a group of ordinary people who are dazzled by gains and rights. They will only break through their own bottom line again and again, because they break the rules and easily obtain what others cannot obtain in their lifetime.
thing."
"Ordinary [people] who get carried away."
Amy stated this sentence once, and then asked a seemingly unrelated topic as if chatting with a friend:
"Mr. Ken, do you know that the Knox priests have the ability to change themselves and the blood of other ethnic groups. For this reason, the Knox people can easily integrate into other ethnic groups."
"Heard something."
The ability of Knox's giant is indeed terrifying. He remembered that when he went on a mission with his tribe, he encountered an elf victim. Two days later, the elf turned into a giant five to six meters tall.
He originally thought it was some blasphemous ritual, but later he learned that it was the innate ability of the giants.
Amy sighed:
"My mother once led some tribesmen to resist during the Steam Riots and gathered a group of humans. When she left, my mother asked those tribesmen to stay here to protect the royal assets for her..."
Following the girl's quiet explanation, Ken understood something and asked:
"The people left behind are the predecessors of the Bertram family?"
Amy nodded:
"Change the body into a human being, and the bloodline into a human being, leaving only faith and thinking. The word Behrendt means persistence in the ancient Knox language."
The girl said with a wry smile, her words full of ridicule.
"If I hadn't come back, I don't know how long these Knox people who have abandoned the God of Watch would have been rampant."
"So, their household registration should be in Knox country?"
"Well, this is one of the reasons why they engage in smuggling business. They have some immunity, and this castle belongs to the private property of Knox State in Restoration City. It is also very difficult to investigate this place."
The crow on the back of Amy's hand made a hoarse cry, seeming to comfort Amy.
Ken finally understood the origin of the Bertram family's history. He remembered the birthmarks that looked like purple eyes that he had seen on the necks of the old man and the middle-aged man.
So the birthmarks are probably a sign of their transformation?
Ken said with approval: "I didn't expect that my employer would have already investigated so many things before hearing the report. This makes me confident in my future work."
A smart employer is a hundred times better at the job he is going to do than a stupid one!
Ken went on to add:
"But they did more than just smuggling."
"Um?"
Under Amy's shocked eyes, Ken recounted everything he had seen along the way, from hooking up with cultists, recruiting private soldiers, and where smuggled goods were stored.
He only concealed his use of the Snake Eye Orb and the attractive thing in the basement.
"How audacious!"
Amy was really angry. When she first came to this city, she almost died in the hands of the cultists. She didn't expect the traitors here to use her banner to do things for the cultists!
The crow on her shoulder screamed loudly, seeming angry for its owner.
The girl took a deep breath to calm herself down. After all, she was the master now and she couldn't be too rude!
The purple-haired girl's ability to control her emotions is very good, or in other words, because these things are still controllable, it is not worth losing her calm. She turned to look at Ken and suddenly joked:
"Knowing that this is the den of cultists, how dare you report it to the owner here, and you are not afraid that I will suddenly tell you that these people are all my subordinates?"
Ken firmly denied:
"How can a beautiful and kind-hearted person like Miss Amy mix with a cultist?"
After a pause for a moment, Ken continued to add:
"What's more, I believe that no cultist would be stupid enough to invite an expert in dealing with cultists into their home as a bodyguard."
"Humph, it's true that a beautiful and kind person like me wouldn't do such a thing."
Amy said with a smile, her mood finally improved. She waved her hand casually, and the crow on her right hand flew up and hovered on the ceiling.
She asked leisurely:
"So, as my bodyguard and the knight beside the beautiful and kind princess, do you have any suggestions for dealing with these evil gods' lackeys, traitors and smugglers who invade private territory?"
The serious look of Princess Knox at this moment is inexplicably cute.
Ken cleared his throat and said seriously:
"I once buried an Eye of Truth for observation. There are seven mercenaries hidden in the cold storage in the kitchen on the second floor. Their average strength is only Silver level."
Throughout the whole day, "Nora's Eye of Trick" has been observing the information of the smugglers.
He did not monitor the cultists. After all, there was at least one cultist who had a similar status to "Snake". If he were to observe them rashly, he might alert the snake.
Ken continued to explain his plan:
"Before dealing with the smugglers, contact the priests of the temple first, and then deal with the smugglers first. After dealing with them, attack them up and down, and kill all the cultists on the first floor. Finally, it is time to deal with the traitors."
Amy seemed to be pretending to be addicted. After hearing this, she clapped her hands in appreciation and said with bright eyes:
"As expected of my knight, but this castle has no way to contact the outside world now. How do you contact the paladin?"
At this time, an unknown number of cultists were occupying the first floor of the castle.
For the sake of safety, they must have polluted the surrounding magic network, and the castle has now become an isolated island.
All he saw was that Ken took out what he had prepared a long time ago, a piece of letter paper filled with incantations painted with Yaron's blood, and a note crumpled into a ball.
"I have a special way of contacting the clergy."
"Very well, my knight, the princess will accompany you in person to bury those enemies."
The princess of Knox stood up, and strong purple energy emitted from her body.
Ken could clearly detect that the energy intensity in her body was much stronger than when he met her before. In terms of energy intensity alone, she was no worse than him.
"My pleasure, Your Highness Princess."
Ken will not refuse the help of this priest of Knox. Her protective ability has been remarkable in the past, and now she can give him more help.
"Then my princess, everything is ready now, only the last step is left."
"But it doesn't matter." Amy was completely in the mood, and the role-playing on a whim was more interesting than she imagined.
Behind her knight appeared a burning bone-burning Void Messenger, and the two of them rubbed their fingers together almost in unison.
