In the dead of night, except for the knights standing guard and patrolling, almost no one would wander around the palace at this time, leaving this courtyard with the most beautiful scenery, the liveliest, and the most frequent people coming to take a walk.
A cold scene emerged.
Several patrolling knights happened to pass by here, walking with strong steps and chatting as if they had nothing to do.
"Have you heard? Knight Commander Albert seems to have asked His Majesty the King for a long leave?"
"I heard that the reason seems to be that I feel that I am not strong enough and want to devote myself seriously to practice and have no time to manage the knights anymore, so I temporarily resigned from the position of knight commander."
"No wonder the knights in the First Knights Chapter seem a little impetuous recently. It turns out that Knight Commander Albert resigned?"
"There is no other way. Being defeated by a 17-year-old boy who was previously unknown, this must be a very big blow to the one who was born in the Sword Saint family, right?"
"Now they are all sword masters, and I heard that they have never been defeated so far. No matter who they are, they can't dodge his lightning flash or his thunderous slash. Although Knight Commander Albert is very strong,
, but he is not a sword master after all, so it is not a shame to lose to the now famous Thunder Light Sword Master, right?"
"That's true, but the guys over at the First Knight Regiment seem to be aggrieved about Knight Commander Albert. They have been fanning the flames recently and want to invite the sword master of the Borrei family.
Take action to save face with the Lightning Sword Master."
"Huh? Are those guys okay with their heads?"
"Isn't this what you can't afford to lose?"
"It's normal that the people in the First Knights Branch are either vassals or even collateral descendants of the Borley family, or people from families directly related to the Borley family. The entire First Knights Branch is almost
They are all related to the Borrei family. Knight Commander Albert is not only their knight captain, but also the object of their allegiance in the future. Now that they have suffered such a miserable defeat, many of them must feel that they cannot just give up.
"
"If the one from the Borley family takes action, then it will really be a big deal this time, right?"
"Sword Master vs. Sword Master..."
"It feels a bit scary, but I also want to watch it."
"Me too."
While chatting about such topics, these knights patrolled along the prescribed route and glanced around from time to time, proving that although they were chatting, their vigilance and defensiveness had not diminished.
However, a few seconds later, they suddenly discovered a magic circle appearing in the sky above the atrium.
"What is that?"
"Magic circle?"
"Oops! Something is going to happen!"
Several knights immediately reacted to this and drew their swords almost reflexively.
But the bad situation they imagined did not happen.
The magic circle that appeared in mid-air did not launch an attack, nor did it take any action. It just let a figure emerge from it and fall to the ground.
Then, the magic circle disappeared, leaving only the figure, slowly bleeding on the ground, and soon the ground beneath him was dyed red.
The knights quickly gathered around.
Not long after, they exclaimed.
"Isn't this the third prince?"
"Why is it the third prince?"
"What a serious injury!"
"Quick! Go and call the court magician!"
"Something happened to the third prince!"
The silence of the palace in the dead of night was broken at this moment.
This night, many people are destined to have no sleep.
…………
On the other side, after completing his work, Li Ge returned to Franzel's mansion alone after putting all his black clothes and bloody knives into the storage space of the Dimensional Rubik's Cube.
Mist drifted from outside the window of a room and drifted into the room, making Li Ge's figure appear from it.
"Um?"
As soon as he returned to his room, Li Ge found someone here.
"Owner."
Liz, who was holding the sword, sat there a little uneasily. When she saw Li Ge coming back, she immediately stood up.
"Why are you here?"
Li Ge was surprised and walked towards Liz.
"Because I felt the master left the room..."
Liz explained in a low voice.
The existence of the servant contract has created a magical connection between Li Ge and Liz.
This connection not only allows both parties to abide by the contract, but can also produce many other effects, such as allowing both parties to the contract to feel the location of the other party.
Thanks to this, no one else noticed that Li Ge left the room in the middle of the night, but Liz discovered it immediately.
She originally wanted to follow him, but when she thought of what Li Ge had talked with Saint Xalia before, the little princess roughly guessed what Li Ge was going to do this time.
So, Liz hesitated and struggled for a long time, and finally did not choose to follow him, but stayed in Li Ge's room, waiting for his return.
"I see." Li Ge nodded suddenly and said to Liz, "Actually, you don't need to come over. Just stay in your room."
Anyway, Liz's room is right next to Li Ge's room, and there is only a wall between the two. Liz can stay in her room and wait, and there is no need to come over specifically to wait for Li Ge.
"But, but..."
Liz lowered her head and tapped her toes uneasily.
Seeing this, Li Ge probably guessed Liz's current mood.
"What?" Li Ge smiled at Liz and said, "Do you care what I did to your brother?"
"...I'm sorry." Liz's thoughts were revealed, and she immediately said dejectedly: "I know I shouldn't be like this."
"It's nothing." Li Ge touched Liz's head and said, "No matter what, that person is your half-brother. It's normal for you to subconsciously care about his life and death."
"I, I just want to know how he is doing, nothing else!" Liz quickly explained to Li Ge: "Brother Sorok wants to do harm to you, the master. It is normal for the master to fight back. I also
I don’t think what the master did was wrong. If I were here, I would definitely help the master fight against his brother.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liz was a little worried whether Li Ge would suspect her of having other intentions.
If Li Ge felt distrustful of himself because of this, Liz would probably cry on the spot.
"I know, you don't need to explain." Li Ge shook his head, comforted Liz, and said: "I don't doubt you, and I can understand you, and I want to thank you for understanding me, so you don't need to be so frightened.
."
Logically speaking, Li Ge went out to do harm to Liz's biological brother. Liz should in turn stop Li Ge, or even become an enemy of Li Ge in order to protect the safety of her family. This is a normal development.
But Liz chose to acquiesce to Li Ge's approach after learning about it, which proved that she had made a choice between Li Ge as the master and Sorok as the brother, and decided to support Li Ge instead of supporting Sorok.
This is not because of the existence of the servant contract, nor is it because of the so-called loyalty, but because compared to her overbearing and violent brother, Liz is more willing to trust and support Li Ge, the current master.
She knew that it was her brother who was at fault first, and it was not Li Ge who was at fault. Therefore, even though she knew that Li Ge wanted to harm Sorok, Liz decided not to stop him.
Based on this alone, Li Ge would not have any objection to Liz's worry. He only felt that it was human nature and that he should apologize to Liz and thank Liz.
After all, from the moment Rige prepared to take action against Sorok, he had already ignored Liz's feelings and ignored the fact that she and Sorok were brother and sister.
Therefore, there was no need for Liz to make such a gesture. The fault would only be with Li Ge, not her.
"I don't know whether I should tell you or not to reassure you."
Li Ge briefly explained the confrontation between him and Sorok and said this.
"He escaped. Although he was seriously injured, it would not be surprising if he died anytime, but there is a high probability that he will be revived."
The teleportation point set by Sorok's transfer magic crystal must be a place where he thinks it is safe and where he can be rescued no matter what happens.
This place is probably a royal palace.
There is a group of court magicians stationed in the palace all year round. Each of these magicians has unique skills and superb magical attainments, otherwise they would not be chosen by the royal family and recruited into the palace to serve.
Even Yuri has the position of chief court magician hanging on her body. This shows how high the level of court magicians in the palace is. Some of them must be tactical-level magicians who can even use tactical-level magic.
Among such a group of magicians, if there is not one who is proficient in healing and restoration magic, Li Ge would never believe it.
Considering this, and considering that the palace must contain many magic potions and magic props with miraculous effects, Li Ge believed that Sorok had a high probability of escaping this time.
"This, this is it..."
Liz had an ambivalent feeling of not knowing whether she should be relieved that her relatives were not killed, or feel regretful that her master could not accomplish what he wanted to do.
Li Ge continued to touch Liz's head and gave some instructions.
"Although the mad dog is not dead, the royal family will definitely investigate the matter next. I'm not afraid, but I can't let it implicate the Franzel family."
"I just put on some disguise, but you have to remember that you can't spread this matter casually, and it's best not to reveal that we have had contact with the Cordelion family."
"Do you understand?"
Liz was naturally aware of Li Ge's instructions.
"I understand, Master, I will never tell anyone."
Liz made her promise.
Li Ge was not worried that Liz would spill the beans.
With the servant contract at work, Liz couldn't do anything detrimental to the master, Li Ge.
Even if it is information, if this information will have a bad impact on Li Ge once it is exposed, the attendant cannot tell it.
Li Ge just gave the instructions for the sake of being conservative, and then looked out the window.
