Rafati, Gosset and other strong men quietly returned to Alto with the night watchmen. The city in the darkness was still peaceful and quiet, no different from when they left.
At this time, Cardinal Vera Amorton suddenly stopped in mid-air, turned around and ordered the holder: "Salvador, take your team of night watchmen to the Melzer Black Forest to help Ms. Camille search for Her Royal Highness the Princess." She was.
The de facto giant of the Violite Inquisition.
Before Salvador could answer, Count Hayward, the deputy leader of the Violet Knights, was surprised and asked worriedly: "What happened to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Amorton's dull and beautiful face said without any emotion: "It is said that Verdi colluded with people from the Magic Council to assassinate the princess. Her Royal Highness has now broken out and hid in the Black Forest, and Ms. Camille is looking for her."
Rafati and Hayward asked at the same time: "Is the intelligence accurate? Is it really Verdi who rebelled?"
The other powerful nobles who followed him to Lake Elsinore were equally surprised, but the content of their surprise didn't seem to be Verdi's assassination of Natasha.
"Cardinal Salde just told me." Amorton only told the source of the information, so that Hayward and others no longer doubted it.
So, Hayward said with a gloomy face: "I will also help find Her Highness the Princess."
Although he is blond, handsome, tall and masculine, and looks like a young man in his twenties, he is actually over one hundred and sixty years old and has experienced countless battles and conspiracies. Now he smells something
Bad "taste", it seems that it was not a coincidence that I and others went to Lake Elsinore.
Salvador, the holder of the code, then replied: "Your will, Lord Bishop, is our will. I will lead the team to set off immediately. Only the truth will last forever."
"Only the truth endures." Amorton made the sign of the cross on his chest.

In the Meltzer Black Forest, relying on Aaron's special bloodline ability, Todd and Todd soon saw the destroyed hag aloe.
"They use hag aloe here to stop bleeding and eliminate odors." Todd also received orthodox knight training. "Aaron, can you tell where they escaped?"
Aaron checked the remaining traces in the nearby shadows and moved his neatly trimmed mustache: "Lord Baron, the shadows told me that they did not leave."
"They didn't leave..." Todd first held the sword and looked around vigilantly, then he came to his senses: "They left with the help of the river water!"
Aloe vera grows near water sources, so there is a small and medium-sized river here, winding towards the Marsol River. According to Todd's speculation, the two people they were tracking were lying directly in the river and drifting along:
"They are very capable of escaping tracking, and they have the advantage of the black forest terrain, but we are still chasing them closer and closer. This may have made them suspicious and suspected that we have a unique tracking method."
Aaron's expression was serious: "After entering the water, I can't communicate with the shadows." He is not a great knight yet and cannot use the underwater shadows.
Todd did not panic, but smiled and said: "There is a big difference between the speed of the current and the running speed of the knights. If they keep drifting, we can catch up soon, and if they come ashore midway, they will definitely leave traces such as water stains. Let's separate.
Follow both sides of the river and don’t miss anything.”
"But this will be a waste of time..." Aaron knew that it would be troublesome to carefully search for traces of the enemy coming ashore, but he and Todd were not magicians and did not have all kinds of magical magic, so they could only rely on this stupid method.
.
Todd jumped lightly to the opposite side: "Don't worry, our injuries are all minor, and our speed is much faster than them. The advantage is on our side, and a little delay is nothing." His nose was split in half by Wynn and
The mouth has almost recovered.
The two began to search carefully along the river.
…………
In the Black Forest of Melzer.
Lucien and Natasha drifted in the river for a short time before quickly leaving and continuing to fly deeper into the forest.
"Lucien, you look really embarrassed." Natasha lied on Lucien's back and teased with a smile. Although her knight uniform was seriously damaged, it was made of high-grade materials after all, and it was not like Lucien.
There was an embarrassing situation where the clothes were wet and clinging tightly. Only the long purple hair was dripping down, making Lucien's neck feel a little itchy.
Lucien looked at the still dripping black robe, used a strange shrub that looked like hay to deal with the dripping water stains, and said with some worry: "I don't think this can completely get rid of the enemies behind."
In fact, there are several special magics in the first-circle magic that can help dry clothes and deal with traces. However, Lucien was previously focused on analyzing "Starlight Shield", "Magic Missile", etc., and did not have time to learn those magics. Now
It's too late to learn temporarily.
"They should have a unique tracking method. I'm afraid we can't get rid of it completely. What we need now is to delay time and give me time to recover." Natasha was very clear-headed and did not answer blindly optimistically: "I have all the knights around Verdi.
I know and know the power of their blood. Unless they have the help of magic items, they will never be able to do this. Therefore, it is probably the dark knights he secretly recruited. Maybe when I recover a little, we can do it again.
Counterattack and kill the Dark Knight who has the specialty of tracking!"
"But we are not sure about the strength of the knight following us? What if it is Todd? What if it is indeed a magic item?" Lucien analyzed calmly and corrected Natasha's habitual risky attempts.
Natasha raised her purple eyebrows: "But don't you think they are getting closer and closer? If you don't want to do something, why don't you just wait for them to catch up?" Judging that they are getting closer and closer does not require strong intuition.
It can be concluded simply from the fact that there is no trace left and the temporary strength comparison between the two sides.
"We need to be more sure." Lucien looked at the stars that were about to disappear in the sky and the nearby environment, roughly determined his location, and then adjusted his direction, "At least until you return to the strength of an ordinary knight.
.”
Natasha didn't pay attention to Lucien's small changes, and concentrated on checking her physical condition before saying: "The most serious stage of the backlash of blood power has passed, but I am seriously injured, and I may have to wait until the sun rises to recover."
Restore the strength of a knight. By the way, Lucien, besides magic items, did you get any potions or materials in the ruins?" She began to determine every possibility, and Lucien went to the ruins to look for something that could improve his knight's strength.
Potion, maybe he got some items like healing potion.
"Are the materials useful?" Lucien hesitated for a moment, but still answered.
Natasha nodded seriously: "Many materials themselves have the ability to heal. Although there will be severe poisoning or various sequelae without alchemical treatment, I am a great knight and should not die directly. As long as I can get rid of tracking, even if
It doesn’t matter if you lie down and can’t move for a few months in the future. Haha, Lucien, you can’t imitate me and eat randomly.”
Lucien took a gentle breath, took out the ether, fairy hair, burning powder, vampire blood, etc. and handed them to Natasha: "I grabbed them randomly in the magician's storage room."
Lucien said this lie very uneasily.
When Natasha saw the materials, she was silent for a moment, then she put her head on Lucien's shoulder and smiled: "There are actually materials that can be used. Both ether and vampire blood can be used for treatment, especially vampire blood. The effect is very good.
.” The laughter was hearty and clean, and there seemed to be no doubt.
These two are the materials for refining the powerful healing potion "Song of Water". Lucien was not surprised that he had such ability. He just asked with concern: "Are there any sequelae?"
Natasha directly pulled out the glass tube containing vampire blood: "The ether treatment effect is effective, but it is of little use to me. Vampire blood will have the sequelae of blood burning that lasts for two months to half a year, and will be more afraid of the daytime.
"She took off the cork and smelled it gently, then her voice became excited: "This is the blood of a high-level vampire. The collection of the legendary magician is awesome!"
"Can it make you recover?" Natasha did not explicitly explain the danger and pain of blood burning, and Lucien did not ask. At this time, it was completely indifferent to care about these issues.
Natasha took a deep breath: "Normally I can only return to the ordinary knight level, but if I cooperate with the special bloodline ability to be stimulated again, I can briefly restore the ordinary level five strength, but it will fall back to the previous level in three minutes at most.
The hands and feet are so weak that they cannot recover within a day or two.”
Lucien heard the desire in Natasha's voice, "You want to fight back against the enemies behind you."
"If it weren't for Todd, three minutes would be enough for me to kill all the knights I'm following." Natasha's tone became serious, but she immediately burst into laughter: "But then I have to ask Lucien to continue carrying me like this."
"But what if it's Knight Todd?" Lucien calmly suggested other possibilities for Natasha.
Natasha chuckled and said, "I will be responsible for luring Todd and the other great knights away at that time. You use the 'Thunder Sword' to kill all the ordinary knights, so that we won't be afraid of being tracked when we escape again."
Lucien turned his head and looked at Natasha, who was leaning on his shoulder. Her purple eyes were bright and lively, and her lips were pursed slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he shook his head and smiled: "You didn't bring the Thunder Sword to lure away the big enemy."
The knight seems to be planning to leave and never return, sacrificing himself to create a chance for me to escape."
Natasha suddenly raised her head as if she was frightened, and laughed twice: "How could it be? I really cherish my life. The main reason is that you definitely can't defeat those ordinary knights without the Thunder Sword, and I just diverted and avoided it.
To escape back again, you don't necessarily need a level 5 weapon, 'vigilance' can also be used."
"It's too dangerous." Lucien denied her opinion, "You hold the Thunder Sword, and we go to a place to wait. As long as there are no more than five ordinary knights chasing after me, I have a lot of confidence in killing them.
.”
"Lucien, are you sure?" Natasha asked in surprise.
Lucien turned his head and let her see the seriousness and seriousness on his face: "I also cherish my life."
"Then I believe you." Natasha didn't dwell on why, her smile was rare and peaceful. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my greatest
