The flaming knife, exuding scorching heat, turned around during flight and hit the arm of the red-armored knight.
Originally, Thane was aiming at the chest of the red-armored knight.
However, this senior attendant has also experienced many battles. When he sensed the approaching crisis, he hurriedly escaped and blocked with the long sword that inspired the light of fighting spirit in his hand.
"Cang!" the metallic chirping sound sounded.
There was even a ball of blue sparks splashed in the air.
Although Thane's flaming knife did not cut the red-armored knight in half with one blow, it did knock his long sword away and left a long and narrow gap in his arm.
The smell of burning barbecue immediately filled the air.
Bearing the pain of magical elements with a flesh and blood body is not something ordinary people can endure.
This red-armored knight was quite tough, and he didn't scream anything, but his cheeks that were originally red turned pale.
Big beads of sweat dripped from his face, and his arms were badly burned at this time.
Even if you have Dou Qi to protect your body, if it is not treated in time, there is still the possibility of being completely disabled.
Although the long sword in his hand was knocked away, the red-armored knight did not completely give up fighting and resisting.
His intact left hand pulled out a short dagger from his lower back, but before he could do anything else.
Thain, who had stepped out of the carriage at some point, had already appeared in front of him.
The acid cane in his hand exudes the halo of elements. For the red-armored knight, this is tantamount to a harbinger of death.
The head of the strong acid cane was pointed directly at the red-armored knight's head. As long as he made any movement, the corrosive acid would melt his head the next moment.
The magical brilliance of the acid cane made the red-armored knight finally lose his last will to resist.
"Ding dong!" The dagger held in his left hand fell to the ground.
On the other side, Old John, who was a little stunned by this series of images, hurriedly stepped forward and restrained the red-armored knight whose right arm was seriously injured with a chokehold.
In the castle, the battles between other knights and servants ended faster.
After the red-armored knight was restrained, the dozen knight attendants from the Kingdom of Western France quickly gave up their resistance.
Speaking of which, they are all "ones" of the earldom.
Even though these knights and attendants are from the marquis family of the Kingdom of Western France, since the marquis' daughter married into the Grant Territory, they have basically been labeled as the Grant Territory.
The war is about to break out, and internal strife is not a good thing to hear as it will be ridiculed by other nobles of the Lycian Alliance.
Not to mention, according to the war situation between the Kingdom of Western France and the Oak Empire, when the Lycian Alliance joins the battlefield, it should still be friendly forces with the Kingdom of Western France.
The "farce" in the Earl's Castle came to an abrupt end when Thain showed off his strength as a senior magic apprentice.
Of course, this does not mean that Thane has the strength to challenge an earldom alone, but he only needs to control a small group of people represented by the red-armored knights.
Judging from the performance of the two senior knight attendants, Old John and Greiner, they still recognized and respected Thain's identity.
Almost no one doubts whether Thain's bloodline is pure. The fact that he is nearly 80% similar to the count when he was young means that he must be the young master who "died" in a bandit attack nineteen years ago.
Not to mention, Thain also told old John some more detailed childhood experiences, which are difficult to fake.
The red-armored knight was quickly handcuffed by other guards from the Earl's Mansion.
As for whether he will receive treatment next, Thain is not interested in paying attention.
Originally, on the day he returned "home", Thain did not want to be violent.
But when he heard that his mother had passed away and that the so-called father had married a new wife, Thain's sense of this "home" became a little weaker.
Under the guidance of Old John, Thain walked all the way towards the depths of the Earl's castle.
Thain should have been familiar with this castle when he was a child.
Although he no longer remembers the specific appearance and route of the Earl's Castle, walking there, sometimes he can walk in the right direction without the need for Old John to guide him.
After a while, Thain arrived at the center of the Earl's Mansion.
He walked so fast that only old John and the senior attendant named Greiner could keep up with him.
Of course, it is also possible that as it gets closer to the center and back courtyard of the Earl's Mansion, other lower-status guards and attendants are not qualified to enter here.
What Thain finally arrived at should be the meeting hall of the Earl's Mansion.
This is a large and spacious space, and there are several side halls connected around the meeting hall. There is one place that seems to be the place where the earl and his family members eat. A huge long table appears there, with many candles placed on the table.
And spotless silver cutlery.
There are also some side halls whose purpose is unknown and their location is more far-reaching, so it is not very clear for a while.
Compared with the city lord's mansion where Thain lived in Peterte City, the Earl's Mansion in front of him was obviously more spacious and luxurious.
However, after entering the Earl's Castle, Thain was not attracted by the rock garden on the way, nor was he touched by the splendor of the Earl's Palace.
After arriving at the meeting hall, Thain was feeling a little irritable and inexplicable. When he saw a huge floor-to-ceiling painting placed in the center of the meeting hall, he suddenly calmed down and settled down.
This is a portrait painting that occupies the entire wall in the center of the meeting hall.
The painting depicts a young lady wearing a white dress. Her silver hair and sapphire eyes are enough to purify people's souls.
In particular, there are slight fluctuations in elemental power on the surface of this giant painting, which seems to be the handiwork of a certain magic apprentice, which can make the entire painting more lifelike and generally will not be damaged by weathering.
Unable to help but walk to the giant painting, Thain touched the frame of the painting and said to himself: "So this is my mother?"
From the fact that Earl Bauhinia placed the full-length portrait of his first wife in the most conspicuous place in the Earl's palace, it can be seen that Earl Grant had true feelings for his last wife, Catherine.
But Thain obviously wouldn't think of this at this time.
There was a "thump, thump, thump!" sound of crystal shoes stepping on the floor. Amidst the commotion, a lady wearing a luxurious dress appeared in Thain's field of vision.
This noble lady did not come alone. In addition to the red-armored knights with bandages on their arms and other knights from the Kingdom of Western France, standing beside her was a young red man who looked very similar to Thain.
Hair men.
"Why not arrest this scoundrel pretending to be a count?!"
"John, Greiner, do you think there is no longer a count or me as a countess in your eyes?" The noble lady's appearance is very outstanding, and her temperament in all aspects has the dignity that a great noble should have.
But her performance at this time was obviously not in line with her identity and temperament.
