Whether it was to erase the traces or not to see the two elf brothers and sisters die, Boom and Rikka chose to use the simplest and most effective way and simply burned down the Earl's mansion.
Rikka, who had planned to hide and watch what happened next, was dragged by Boom in the opposite direction. Now that he had obtained the water contract beast egg, there was no need for him to cause trouble.
"I know the way you eat magic crystals, but what are you going to do with this stuff? Are you going to cook it directly?" Boom asked with a smile while sitting on the edge of the bed.
"It's okay to eat it directly, and many contracted beasts will choose this method. But they have small mouths, so they can only absorb it forcefully."
"Rest in peace, unknown creature, may you have a long sleep and sweet dreams."
Rikka stretched out her left hand and gently placed it on the surface of the contracted beast egg. She neither chanted any incantations nor performed any rituals.
Wisps of light blue light were absorbed into the palm of the hand, and the originally glowing egg body gradually turned gray. Although the whole process was wonderful, it only lasted five minutes.
"Is this the end? How do you feel?" Boom looked at Rikka who looked satisfied and asked with a frown.
"It's so delicious. Brother, let's get one next time." Liuhua looked at Boom after hearing this, and replied with a smile.
"I'm asking you if you have any questions. Who cares whether it tastes good or not." Boom shook his head, stretched out his hand and handed the other person a glass of warm water.
"No problem, no problem. Apart from dragon crystal, this is the most delicious thing." Rikka casually threw the contracted egg that turned into stone into the trash can and said again.
"Dragon crystal? Where did we get the dragon crystal?" Boom lit up the magic crystal shadow lamp and asked casually.
"It's the one from before. Although it was used by my brother for practice, you can still taste it." Rikka bit her lip and said a little embarrassedly.
"If there is a chance in the future, my brother will give you the largest dragon crystal." After saying this, Boom slowly closed his eyes and officially started practicing.
Rikka smiled sweetly and climbed back into her bed. The light of the magic crystal shadow lamp was very soft, but it did not make people feel dim.
But in a stone house that was completely opposite to this, a cold voice sounded slowly, like a black gauze in the night, without any emotion.
"I was originally looking forward to the follow-up performance of that bloodthirsty bat. Do you think the one who sneaks into Highgarden next time will be a troll? Or an orc?"
Grand Duke Grylls of Cisse took a sip of his wine and asked slowly. However, his expression was not due to his composure, but the sadness after losing his beloved toy.
He received the news from the first day the opponent entered the Golden Halberd Plain. However, instead of killing him, he secretly observed it for nearly ten years with great interest.
Grand Duke Grylls of Cisse was not only an atheist, but also despised ancient books and legends. He only believed what he saw with his own eyes and his own judgment.
"Go and deal with it. If possible, I would like to meet the criminal who defeated him." Grylls said again.
After hearing the words, a black shadow walked out of the stone house, followed silently by the accompanying Cisse cavalry. In half an hour, everyone arrived at the noble area.
At this time, the fire in the Earl's Mansion had been extinguished, but countless nobles were still surrounding it. Accusations and complaints kept coming, making the already crowded streets even more blocked.
The city guard who maintained order kept bowing and saluting, and finally he looked like a ripe prawn. He didn't see the people from the palace standing outside until his head was split in two.
The human-shaped blood fountain appeared instantly, and until this moment, everyone saw those people. The thin sword unique to the Xisai cavalry was slung around the waist, and the armor engraved with the two-headed dragon emblem was spotless.
As for the leader, he is the chief of the palace guards of the principality and a mixed-blood orc warrior Aguero. He is famous for his blood and cruelty, and he is extremely arrogant.
"Tell me what you have discovered." Aguero put the body into the dark alley and said coldly.
"A... Lord Aguero, we initially judge that the fire was caused intentionally. After examining the count's body, it was found that the cause of death was a puncture wound."
"And... Moreover, the murderer is most likely a spy from another principality. There are many signs that the murderer is not for money, but just wants to take his life."
The adjutant reported the situation tremblingly. Although more than three hours had passed since the incident, he still had no clue. He didn't even find out where the murderer came from or what his occupation was.
Aguero heard this and turned to look at the Earl's mansion. At this moment, it was like a huge charcoal-grilled octopus, which was constantly emitting thick smoke.
"You have nothing to do here, so you can get out!" Aguero spoke slowly and shouted to the nobles surrounding him.
Among them were the high-ranking Duke, and countless viscounts and barons. Everyone's expressions froze when they heard this, and then they started talking again.
"Are you Aguero? Our four brothers are all swordsmen. I wonder if we can join forces to fight you." The crowd was divided into two halves, and four burly figures walked towards the center of the field.
"If you're afraid, you can choose any one of us, how about that? Mr. Half-blood Orc who doesn't understand etiquette."
One of them spoke again, his face full of disdain, mixed with contempt and disgust.
"The captain of the inner court guard was openly provoked, and blood is needed to show the glory of Cisse. Give you a minute, and everyone who dies tonight will be regarded as a rebel."
The nobles dispersed upon hearing this, and even the city guards ran away for more than ten meters. Seeing this, the accompanying Cisse cavalry secretly started to fight.
"Hey, hey, the chief guard of the inner court is not going to order his men..." The words finally got stuck in his throat, and the other three people also stopped their heartbeats.
A tornado of vindictiveness with a strong smell of blood appeared out of thin air, the thick bluestone pavement turned into powder, and all the nearby walls collapsed.
The skin and flesh of the four swordsmen were peeled off at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they finally merged with the fighting spirit tornado and became an inseparable part.
The Blood Scythe was put into Aguero's storage bag. Mixed-blood orcs were his biggest taboo, and they were his lifelong pain. This hatred came from the unknown father, and even more from the mother who abandoned him.
The power of blood gradually took over, and all that was left was calmness and helplessness. But just when it was about to destroy everything, a terrifying pressure erupted from the Twin Towers in the distance.
"Aguero, this is Highgarden, and I'm not dead yet."
"Bleeding Scythe and Crimson Storm, but... they are still too weak."
The two great magisters stopped what they were doing, opened the windows one after another, looked at the aristocratic area and murmured.
Aguero's chaotic mind suddenly came to his senses, and he immediately bowed and saluted, waving his hand to dissipate his grudge. As he walked back to the palace, memories of the past came back to him again.
It was a rainy night, and the young Aguero used the corpse as a cushion and the leftovers as food. It was a pair of men's hands that pulled him into the carriage and brought him into the palace.
From that day on, he stood beside Grand Duke Grylls for thirty years. On the day he became the great swordsman, he received the first gift in his life, a sword called the Blood Scythe.
Huge weapon.
Three years later, he was defeated miserably in a battle with the divine knight Anthony, and his blood dyed the sheets red, and even dyed Grylls's brocade robe red.
That night, a huge tornado of fighting spirit soared into the sky, and Aguero reached his pinnacle and mastered the Scarlet Storm combat technique. At the same time, Grand Duke Grylls also announced that he would never have to kneel down to worship again.
"The murderer escaped." Aguero returned to the stone house, lowered his head and said.
"That's it. Are you sleepy? Have another drink with me?" Grand Duke Grylls of Cisse replied with a smile.
