When Felton heard about Heather's late-night visit, he hurriedly asked the servant to make the best tea and bring out his favorite pastries.
Just when he asked the servants to bring out some flowers to decorate the room, the butler informed that not only Heather was visiting, but also people from the Star Knights.
Felton looked at the servant who had just informed.
"Master, you didn't wait for me to finish speaking..."
"Ten lashes!"
Seeing the servant crying and begging to be dragged away, Felton shouted stop.
Before the servant had time to be happy, he heard Felton order: "Keep your mouth shut and be quiet."
Felton woke up from his dream, from ecstasy to disappointment, and the suppressed anger rose again.
Facing Hester who was introduced into the room, he gave a stiff smile. If Heather hadn't been there, he would have been thinking about how to expel the person.
The sleepy Felton, with a dark face, picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip to refresh himself when Hester made the teacup stop in front of his mouth with just one word.
"A suspicious summoner appeared near Kais City."
Felton clicked his tongue: "That's it?"
Just be suspicious. Isn't it your duty as the Knights of the Star to investigate suspicious persons?
Besides, the Knights of the Stars have an average combat strength of four or five levels, and there is also a sixth-level magician named Heather, so what is a summoner?
The summoning school is declining, and there is naturally little room for improvement in the summoner's strength.
There are too many examples of summons being restrained and the summoner unable to resist. With so many people in the Knights, they can completely suppress the summoner to death.
"The summoner summoned a dark mass. Because it was too dark, Heather could not see the details of the summoned object clearly. She only saved an attacked adventurer from the opponent."
Hearing that Heather discovered the summoner first and saved people, Felton immediately put on a smile and praised Heather for her kindness, kindness and strength.
Heather smiled politely back, but this time, she smiled very dryly and felt guilty.
Hurst continued: "Heather engaged the opponent briefly."
As long as your mouth is sweet enough, women will always have a favorable impression of you. Based on this idea, Felton is determined to carry out the compliment offensive to the end.
"Then Heather must have killed the other party on the spot. You came to me because there are still some criminals on the run. Do you need me to issue a wanted notice?"
Felton was about to call the housekeeper in, but Heather reached out to stop him.
Hester was also embarrassed, but rather than embarrassed, he was now more worried after learning the full story from Heather.
"Heather didn't kill the opponent, but she briefly fought against the opponent's summons."
Heather corrected: "There was no resistance, the summoned creature took two heavy hits from me."
Felton looked at Heather's graceful figure and listened to Heather's words as if she was eager to be praised, and immediately understood.
He picked up the tea cup, intending to drink tea to moisten his throat, and then show off his superb flattery skills.
"Heather hit hard twice. Although it was not full force, the opponent's summons was safe and sound. It even seemed to be uninjured. For a summons that can do this... I can only say that the opponent is suspected to be a seventh-level magician."
"puff!!!"
Felton's tea spilled all over the floor. He didn't care about losing his composure in front of Heather. He stood up hastily and shouted: "Seventh level?"
"Hey, hey, this is not a joke. Do you know what the seventh level is?"
"There are only sixth-level magicians in the entire Grand Empire. Doesn't this mean that the magic power of this guy who appeared out of nowhere exceeds that of any magician in the entire Grand Empire?"
"You heard it right, I had the same reaction as you when I first heard Heather say it."
Felton turned to look at Heather, whose expression was solemn. In response to Felton's questioning look, she nodded slightly.
Heather added: "This is not the worst. The worst thing is that there is a woman beside this summoner, and this woman is followed by a white mist with a humanoid outline."
Needless to say, Felton already understood.
Black mist and white mist, one male and one female, the summons of these two correspond to each other.
Oh my god, does this mean that there are at least two seventh-level ruthless people wandering around in their territory?
Felton held his head, feeling that his headache was about to explode.
First, a giant dragon came from nowhere and passed around Kais City, and the shadow of the dragon disaster lingered.
Now two more seventh-level ruthless people came out, and the summoned objects looked very evil.
Is the seaside city of Keyes cursed? Why do all kinds of weird things happen here?
An unidentified seventh-level summoner was wandering around in the area east of Case City. If this uninvited guest walked all the way along the coastline, the strongest person along the way would only be gold-level.
The gold level is two levels behind the seventh-level magician, not to mention that magicians have a natural advantage against most warriors, so there is no need to fight.
If this uninvited guest didn't alert the snake and hid in the capital...
"Has the Star Messenger set off?" Felton asked hurriedly.
"We have already set off just now. It is estimated that your Majesty will know what happened here before dawn."
Felton asked again: "It's a dragon, and it's a seventh-level summoner...which problem should we solve first?"
Faced with this problem, Heather and Hester looked at each other, speechless.
When night fell, Lu Yu, who returned to the outside of Kaisi City again, was speechless.
"I'm so stupid..."
Sigrid wanted to agree, but when she thought that Lu Yu was her master, she could only swallow it.
Lulutis and the Mist Demon don't have such worries.
"I agree with your criticism of yourself."
After walking for a long time and spending a night in the wild, the energetic two people walked on the main road in the early morning. When they saw the knights passing by by the roadside, they all thought of the same question.
Where are the two horses we bought?
Because Lu Yu left Case City in a hurry, he did not even ride away the two horses that were temporarily fostered in the riding shop.
Sigrid and Lulutis, who followed Lu Yu's order, also forgot about this incident. As for the mist demon, they didn't remember it at all!
Buying a horse is not only for your own convenience, but also to avoid annoying rental rules. Whether you ride it to the capital and then sell it, or continue riding after confirming the terrain, it is a good choice.
In order not to waste money and make his feet more comfortable, Lu Yu finally chose to return the same way.
You need a voucher to leave the city, but not to enter the city.
After walking for a day, Lu Yu and his entourage, who were extremely tired, entered the city and went straight to the horse leasing company. They took away the two horses they had bought and returned to the tavern where they stayed before. They checked into a room and fell asleep.
Because everyone is too tired, it is inevitable that some details will be overlooked.
For example, when entering the city, the number of guards guarding the city was much larger than before, and the leading guard captains could hardly close their mouths when they saw Lulutis.
For example, when the knights patrolling the city along the way saw Lulutis, they would first be confused, then take out the notice they were about to paste and examine it carefully, and then they would be petrified on the spot.
"Say it again?" Hester and Felton's reactions were surprisingly consistent, their voices suddenly rising to the point of almost breaking their voices.
The guard who came to the Lord's Mansion to report was frightened by the two bosses' voices, and he repeated it tremblingly.
"We saw exactly what the lord described, a strange thing emitting black mist, sitting on a man's shoulder."
"Where did you see it?" Felton jumped up from his chair, walked quickly to the guard, and asked eagerly.
The guard's lips trembled and he said in a panic: "Just inside Kais City, we saw him and a woman leading two horses to the Red Crescent Tavern at the junction of the West City and the North City."
Felton grabbed the guard by the collar and asked word for word: "Are you really reading that right?"
"I was not the only one to witness it. The black mist first stayed on the man's shoulders, and then floated to the man's head."
"The woman with horns on her head next to him is always followed by a piece of white mist that can change shapes at will."
Heather, who was not sure at first, was shocked.
"It's them, it's this combination!"
Now it was Felton's turn to have his lips tremble.
All members of the Star Knights looked solemn, and seemed to have put the option of fighting on their plan list.
But this is his territory, and he hasn’t had time to exploit it properly!
A group of magicians are fighting against each other, and there are also sixth-level magicians and suspected seventh-level summoners among them. How many good lands will be left in your territory after the battle?
But Felton can rest easy, because reason in Heather and Hester's minds finally defeated worries and fears.
It is definitely not a wise choice to hastily fight someone who is most likely a seventh-level summoner.
Therefore, Heather did not ask her men to immediately go to the tavern to surround him, nor did he allow the Marquis's people to act without permission, for fear that the other party's mind would stop functioning at a critical moment and do something weird, which would bring huge disaster to Case and even the Grand Empire.
In order not to alert the mysterious summoner, the members of the Knights first conducted a screening of the people in the tavern.
One after another, ordinary people who witnessed Lu Yu were invited out by members of the Knights who pretended to be guests.
After a series of information collection, Felton, Heather, and Hester were a little confused.
Both the regulars of the Red Crescent Tavern and the owner of the Red Crescent Tavern described Lu Yu in a more positive light.
The only time he took action in public was to use a summoned object to "open the eyes" of a bully who was bullying the weak. He also asked his boss before doing so to avoid violating the rules.
Many people in the Knights of the Star were promoted from the bottom by the leader, so they understand better that rogues are the biggest headache for ordinary people than real villains.
Lu Yu's method of "opening the eyes" of the gangster was praised by the members of the Knights who had a strong sense of justice but could not do it themselves.
and…
"He is a marquis?"
The three people were stunned, and their unanimous voices made the boss of Red Crescent Moon a little confused.
"Yes...he claims to be a marquis, but I have never seen a marquis like him. He disliked the unpalatable breakfast made by our chef, so he borrowed our kitchen and made breakfast for himself and his servants every day..."
