The head with a shocked expression flew up along the trajectory of the giant sword in both hands, drew a feeble arc in the air, and landed on the ground with a soft "bang".
Aranza withdrew her weapon, her upright body facing away from everyone, she said nothing, and the atmosphere suddenly became strangely quiet.
Dolores still remembered Shim's previous abuse to her, and now she clapped her hands with a vengeance and said, "Master, it's time for us to run away."
"It's impossible to escape," Jessie interrupted her. "The Arnest Valley is not as peaceful as it seems. There must be some informants from some big shots. What just happened may have reached the ears of some people."
…”
"Moreover..." Jiexi looked at Aranza, who had stopped moving, and continued, "How could the first human family not have knights riding flying monsters? Even if we can escape, we can't escape too far... Unless...
"
Jie Xi took out the magic teleportation scroll from the space ring and glanced at everyone. Now, the only way is to use the magic teleportation scroll to instantly teleport everyone to the outside world.
At this moment, Aranza suddenly turned around, still with a big smile on his face, and said: "Well, well, if you escape, you will be a sinner. Let's go back first and wait for them to deal with it."
Hearing this, Jiexi couldn't help but frown, and thought carefully about the importance of Aranza's identity in the family and the severity of the punishment she would probably receive, before hesitantly nodded in agreement. Afterwards, the group went to Aranza's residence as if nothing had happened.
Go, as if Sim's death was nothing but a trivial matter to them.
As Jie Xi said, Black Chain Castle is full of eye spies from various important figures in the Lane family, and sometimes, even the important figures themselves are watching everything that happens.
The architectural style of the Black Chain Castle is a towering one. The height of the central tower stretches straight across the valley. Surrounded by the surrounding peaks of the Arnest Valley, it reaches straight against the sky.
At this time, on a floor in the middle of the central tower, Duke Alsis stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the woods buried in the night, as if he could see through the shadows in the darkness. He shook the wine glass in his hand and raised his hand
Drink up the scarlet wine in one gulp.
"Master of the family, Lord Shim has passed away." A luxuriously dressed royal magician of the Lane family flicked the magic wand in his hand, canceled the advanced eagle eye technique being released, retreated behind Duke Alsis, bowed his head and carefully reported.
"Very good, let's go down." Duke Alsis waved to the black-robed mage.
The magician who was suddenly summoned nodded immediately and moved quickly towards the door. When he was about to exit the door, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the side of Duke Alsis, where stood a man covered in metal armor.
His figure was covered by metal, but based on his size, the magician was absolutely certain that the iron guy on the sofa was definitely not human.
"If I remember correctly, this Mr. Him should be the biological son of His Excellency Alsis, right?" A low and bright voice sounded like an undercurrent. Although the guy in armor was motionless, the voice clearly came from him.
Throat.
Hearing the other party speak, Duke Alsis squinted with disdain, as if he was very disdainful of this guy who used decent words to cover up his rudeness. He snorted from his nose and replied: "So what."
The other party did not care about Duke Alsis's attitude and said: "I never thought that you would be willing to sacrifice your son to get our confirmation. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my master."
"No need," Duke Alsis interrupted him, "I can't erase the son of the King of Heroes. His death will cause a lot of trouble, but with Shim's death, there is no problem in kicking him out of the family. He will no longer be able to
If it threatens my status, as for the descendant of the Mercenary King, I will make her disappear from future mercenary missions."
"That's best." The other party nodded, and the metal armor made a solid friction sound with the movement of his neck.
"Now that I have proven that my position will be very strong, it's time for us to talk about future cooperation..."
…
Night only lasted for a moment, and day flew by. In one night, Aranza killed the family leader's son, Shim Lane, and spread like air to all corners of the valley.
"Aranza! I warned you! Don't cause trouble!" The person who rushed through the door was the elder of the family council, Goethe Lane. Old Follett followed in panic behind the angry elder.
Aranza was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room. She seemed to have guessed Goethe's arrival and said, "Well, old guy, I just killed a piece of trash who insulted my mother."
"Hmph!" Goethe waved his hand heavily and pointed at Aranza, "There are so many people scolding your mother, why don't you go and kill them one by one?!"
Hearing this, Aranza did not answer, but just smiled and stroked Silas's hair.
Jessi, who was sitting next to Aranza, said: "Elder Goethe, can you tell us... what kind of punishment Aranza will be punished?"
"Punishment?!" Goethe had not yet come out of his angry state. His white hair was almost standing on end and smoking. When he heard Jie Xi's question, he immediately said sharply: "How do I know what the punishment will be? Let's wait for the family court in the afternoon!"
"Well, it seems that there is such a thing." Aranza tilted her head and then remembered the family court, that is, the family council publicly tried and dealt with members of the family who made serious mistakes.
Elder Goethe's one-sided rant lasted for a full hour. Cyril, who had returned from morning exercises in the backyard, and Dolores, who had just woken up, had to join in halfway to share some of the old man's anger. Finally, Goethe finished venting and continued without stopping.
He left Aranza's small building and rushed towards the conference room of the family court. He still had to clean up the mess Aranza had made.
"Well, Cyril, having said that, the matter of being knighted may have to be postponed for a long time." Seeing Goethe leave with old Follett, Aranza suddenly remembered her promise to Cyril and apologized.
"How long?" The girl still didn't like to talk.
"Wait until Aranza has enough troops and a territory." Jexi answered for Aranza.
Hearing this, Cyril just nodded in approval.
"Let's go, first go to the family court and see how they deal with me." Aranza, wearing platinum armor, stood up and led everyone to the outside. As for Nicole, Karu, and the Ife brothers and sisters, after this incident, Alan
Sako didn't think they could join his mercenary group, so he didn't mention it much.
