"Qiang!"
On the snow, two bright long swords collided with each other. Lu Qing felt that the long sword in her hand was being forced to tilt to the left, and she quickly stepped back to distance herself.
However, Knight Myron would not miss such a good opportunity. He put his sword back and then stabbed Lu Qing quickly and accurately.
"clang!"
Lu Qing quickly held her sword across her chest to block.
However, how could Knight Myron's attack end so easily? After thrusting out one sword, he quickly thrust out a second sword, but when he was about to be blocked by Lu Qing, he suddenly changed his move and turned the thrust into a challenge.
, straight into Lu Qing’s eyes.
Caught off guard, Lu Qing was unable to parry, and could only watch the tip of the sword break through Altaïr's sword before slowly stopping.
Knight Myron maintained his attack movements, smiled at Lu Qing, then took a step back, rotated the long sword in his hand half a circle, and inserted it into the scabbard.
"That's it for today." Knight Myron said after looking at the sky.
"Um."
Lu Qing nodded, while thinking about the mistake he made during the sparring session with Knight Myron just now.
"Arou and the others haven't come back yet?" Lu Qing looked at the sky and asked with some confusion.
Normally at this time, Fang Qingrou and Char would have returned. After all, Frey Mourez is still quite dangerous at night.
Even though Char is an experienced hunter, he doesn't like to camp out.
After all, who wants to freeze in the cold outdoors when you can rest in a warm room?
"There should be some clues," Myron said.
Char has been looking for the earthworm that attacked the wolf pack recently. The other party has not made a lot of noise in these days. After the wolf pack, it has also found other creatures such as winter honeysuckle, ice flamingos and other creatures.
In addition, it attacked a caravan, causing a large number of casualties.
Therefore, the nobles in the Fremures region also wrote a letter to Char, hoping that he could get rid of the void earth worm.
Thanks to these things, Char's investigation of the void earth worm has gone much faster. If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to find it in the next two days.
"Um!?"
Lu Qing and Myron Knight, who were about to return to the wooden house, suddenly noticed something and stopped.
I saw a thick plume of black smoke rising into the sky in the distance.
"That's thick smoke that only rises in an emergency!" Knight Myron said with a serious face.
After finishing speaking, he immediately pushed open the wooden door of the hut and saw that the Pope had already put on his equipment and said with the same serious look: "I already know the matter, let's go."
"You rush over first, I am responsible for protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Knight Myron said upon seeing this.
If the two of them go all out, they will definitely be faster than Lu Qing. If the situation is urgent, it is better for one person to rush over.
Myron has not forgotten his job. As a knight guarding Her Royal Highness the Princess, he must of course put the safety of the Princess first.
As for the Pope’s safety?
Please, Knight Myron really doesn’t want to emphasize the strength of His Majesty the Pope.
"Then I'll take the first step."
The Pope nodded, and then opened a small passage in front of him.
This is not a space channel, but a spiritual world channel.
Basically, all spirit beings live in the spiritual world, and the spiritual world is actually the gap between the spiritual realm and the real world.
Because of this, ordinary people cannot see the existence of spiritual bodies, but spiritual bodies can affect the real world through special powers.
The Pope's skill to open the channel to the spiritual world is the [Psychic Channeling] that Lu Qing is learning at this time.
At this time, Lu Qing could not open a path to the spiritual world like the Pope. She could only let her spiritual body step into the spiritual world, but could not leave her body too far.
The Pope has been able to physically enter the spiritual world and use the power of the spiritual world to move at high speeds.
"Let's go too." Seeing the Pope disappearing into the spiritual world passage, Lu Qing looked at Knight Myron and said.
An unexpected incident occurred in the town near the hunter's cabin. She didn't want to just sit by and watch, no matter what, she had to go and take a look.
Combined with the fact that Fang Qingrou and Char have not come back yet, Lu Qing feels that today is a special plot point arranged by the dream game.
Lu Qing asked the maid Irene to stay in the hut. After all, she was just an ordinary maid with no fighting ability. It was best to stay here.
"Your Highness Princess, please..." Irene looked at Lu Qing with some worry. She originally wanted to say "Please be careful", but she felt something was not right and paused.
"Don't worry, with Knight Myron protecting me, nothing will happen." Lu Qing patted Irene on the shoulder and said.
"You just have to do what you have to do."
"Yes." Irene nodded, forced a smile on her face, and said, "I will prepare dinner for you."
"Wait until I come back." Lu Qing smiled, and then set off with Knight Myron.
.........
On the other side, the Pope moved quickly in the spiritual world, and after a while he arrived at the town closest to the cabin.
There was already a chaos here, and a group of soldiers in armor were massacring the residents of the town.
As for the original guards in the town, due to the sudden incident, they were completely scattered in every corner of the town, unable to stir up a wave of resistance.
"snort!"
The Pope noticed the void breath on the group of soldiers who were massacring the residents, and immediately knew the identities of these people, and snorted coldly.
Countless ghosts flew out of the wooden mask on his body, instantly reversing the situation in the town.
The soldiers who were massacring the residents, no matter how strong they were, were no match for the evil spirits and were torn to pieces by them.
The Pope protected all the people who were still alive and reunited the garrison in the town. It only took an hour and a half to suppress the turmoil here.
He deliberately left five of the strongest Guiji cultists behind, and asked about the Guiji sect's plans from their mouths.
Until this time, Lu Qing and Myron Knight arrived belatedly.
"What happened?"
As soon as he met the Pope, Knight Myron quickly stepped forward and asked.
After he and Lu Qing arrived at the town, they saw corpses scattered on the ground. People in a small town were suddenly massacred by a group of soldiers. This was no small matter!
"These are all done by the Guiji Sect. I have interrogated them and found that besides here, three other towns were also attacked." The Pope explained.
"There are three more towns!?" Knight Myron frowned and said, "Do you know what their purpose is? How is the garrison in the town?"
"The purpose is probably to hold some kind of ceremony. It seems to be a blood stone transformation ceremony, but why do they need so many blood stones? I don't know."
"As for the situation of the defenders, to be honest, I'm not very optimistic about it. These Guiji believers seem to have done it with the help of a certain noble."
"Not only do they have good equipment, but they can also be stationed in the town openly. Under a sudden outbreak, the defenders in the town cannot support it at all."
ps: It is normal for nobles to have private soldiers, and it is very easy to hide them in a small town. If they attack suddenly, they can easily dismantle the small town's defenders.
