Upon hearing the other party's words, Knight Lanisa immediately performed a knight salute: "I have seen Knight Dai Lisi. Excuse me, may I ask, what is the business of you and your companions visiting here suddenly?"
Knight Dai Lisi walked around this small stronghold: "This sentence should be my question to you. What are you and your men doing on this ruin at the moment?"
"Ruins? It's like this. This is a forward supply base for me to fight against the northern land wolves that harass the village and roads. I have another such base, which is on the edge of Wumi Lake." Seeing that Dai Lisi knight didn't believe it Knight Lanisa explained in detail: "The main reason is that we can't know where the wolf dens where the northern land wolves are feeding their cubs in the forest, so my men and I have to repeatedly patrol the forest or look for clues. "
She pointed to the uncleaned blood stains on the armor on her body: "This blood is left over from killing a large number of young wolves."
"Northern wolf." Muttering in a low voice, Knight Dai Lisi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Knight Lanisa meaningfully: "Is this your rhetoric? If that's the case, then you can't A stronghold has been established on this ruin.”
Knight Lanisa was a little upset, and she immediately asked: "Why? What's there? There's nothing here. If you just live in the winter for a short period of time, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Knight Dai Lisi was a little unhappy, she curled her lips, and then looked up the rock passage.
There, following the sound of footsteps, a tall knight dressed somewhat similarly to Knight Delis was walking slowly.
"Nake, I've calmed it down. It's windy up there, and it likes it." The voice was thick, and it was a male knight: "So, what's going on with these people?"
Knight Lanisa introduced their identities and missions to the new male knight.
"Fight the Northern Land Wolf? What can those little guys do?" The male knight didn't take it seriously. For a combat knight with his skill and equipment, the so-called Northern Land Wolf shot one arrow at a time.
Obviously, the knight was carrying a full metal knight's bow that was a full circle smaller than his entire body. The huge bow naturally had to be matched with larger bows and arrows, and his special bows were all placed on the griffin.
"Your Excellency the Knight, those northern land wolves have been attacking villagers and merchants in the south in recent years, which has greatly affected the production and life of my fief, and even hindered the development of the entire northern part of Kendall County. "Knight Lanisa declared in a stern manner.
"Okay, okay, what you said makes sense. Little girl, even so, this place is not the place for you and your subordinates to come. It's dangerous here, and it's not good for you or your people to stay here." The two Griffon riders walked to the fire and sat down as if no one else was there. They took out a piece of dry and hard animal meat from the leather storage bag at their waist and put it on the stone beside the fire to roast. .
Not to be outdone, Knight Lanisa waved to the hunters behind her to let everyone disperse, and then went to the side of the two Griffin Knights and asked: "It's still the same problem, why? After I have a forward base here, I believe The lairs of other northern wolves can be found in less than a month. After killing those young wolves, I believe their wolf kings will not be able to sit still, and will definitely come out to take revenge, and then I will wipe them all out!"
The two griffin riders looked at each other and exchanged glances. After sitting down, the male Griffin Knight also lifted his helmet cover, revealing a face that was obviously of the eastern part of the empire.
The people in the eastern part of the empire have brown complexion, are tall, and always have a smile on their faces, making them look quite good-looking. It's just that this Griffin Knight's face was obviously injured, and it was unknown how it was left behind. The small half of his face had some signs of corrosion and healed.
Knight Dai Lisi smiled lightly and said: "Good girl, the problem is not what kind of northern land wolf you are dealing with. Puchi, forgive me, why do you call those little wolves northern land wolf? This is not very northern either?"
Knight Lanisa's face turned red, and after a few nahs, she reluctantly explained: "It was started by the villagers. After all, the wolves came from the north of Wumi Lake."
Knight Dai Lisi waved his hand: "Well, no matter what those animals are called, we don't really care. If you establish a stronghold in other places in the forest, we don't care, and even welcome. But."
Another male griffin knight took over the words: "But not here. This is an earlier stronghold belonging to the alien race. They exerted their power and raised this place from the ground as a bridgehead to invade your kingdom."
"Aren't you always patrolling at the border of the kingdom? How did they establish a stronghold here? I've seen the map, and it's still far away from the border?"
"Little girl, our enemies have too much patience and perseverance compared to us humans." The male Griffon rider pointed to the ground with his finger: "They dig down from outside the boundary, and then dig all the way from the ground to this point, completely circumventing It has passed the range of the sacred monument set up by the gods."
Knight Ranisa was silent for a moment.
After a while, the old hunters cut up the boar meat, put some of the pig bones into the iron pot they carried to make soup, and put some of the lean meat on a wooden plate, and brought it to the three knights.
The fine wild boar meat was pierced by slender wooden branches, and the smashed coarse salt seemed to be okay.
In order not to disturb the conversation of the three knights, the hunters did not hesitate to spend wood, and set up another fire on the other side of the stronghold, and began to boil bone soup.
"We hunted a wild boar, let's eat the meat first, after all, it's such a cold day, but this is all we can get out." Knight Lanisa took the wooden plate handed to him by the old hunter, and then put The meat skewers piled up on top were divided into three parts and handed over to the other two Griffin Knights.
Unexpectedly, the two knights only took one-third of each to start roasting, and the other lean meat was withdrawn from the wooden branches, all of which were held by Knight Dai Lisi, and returned to the top of the rocky mountain above the rocky passage.
"Ah, don't worry, she will feed some of her griffins too. Although the food of the griffins is relatively fixed, they will still eat if the rider feeds them." The male griffin rider smiled and began to take meat skewers instead He and Knight Delise baked it up.
Lanisa Knight nodded: "Have you asked your name yet?"
Unexpectedly, the knight waved his hand: "Hey, I'm just an unknown person, and I don't care about my name. Unlike Dai Lisi who comes from a big family, I'm just an ordinary person."
Speaking of this, Knight Lanisa talked about the story of the so-called alien invasion stronghold under their feet.
"I've just heard that, after all, it's only been a few years since I was transferred to the Northern Knights of Kendall." The Griffin Knight from the eastern part of the empire seemed to be talkative: "It was the group's magician who found out here at the beginning. Master, you know, no matter who it is, it takes a lot of magical power to make such a huge rock rise from the ground. So those magicians were the first to discover it."
"Afterwards, we urgently coordinated the surrounding knights, and then all of them surrounded here with the cooperation of the Griffin Knights." He pointed to the weapon cleavages left on the rocks around: "Look at these, can you Thinking about how fierce the battle was at that time. After all, not all alien races like to give up living space for humans in vain. They always try to get it back."
"But this land was promised to our king by the gods. His Majesty's contribution deserves such a reward." Knight Lanisa immediately said firmly.
"Hoho, little girl, that's what you said. But if the alien race had succeeded at that time, the current map of your country would definitely have changed. When your country was first established, it was a realistic result that you can only admit while pinching your nose. The Griffon Knight said as he turned the meat skewers: "I have seen many wars with my own eyes, although I didn't participate in them. Many times, the two parties in a dispute won't win based on how many reasons you have, but the final victory." Strength and results win."
"In short, they were driven back to the ground at that time, and a priest who traveled here, the master of rivers and lakes, performed a miracle and poured the water from the distant lake into the underground passage of this stronghold."
"All drowned?" Knight Lanisa immediately thought of the result of this move.
"Of course, otherwise, why do you think those alien races don't use this place anymore. They are afraid of water and can't swim." Griffon Knight shrugged.
Knight Lanisa had a flash of inspiration: "So according to you, isn't there no danger at all here? Although there may have been tragic battles decades ago, look, after so many years, there is nothing left here except on the rocks." The mottled traces, is there anything else? Those alien races don’t use this place anymore, so it’s fine for us to live here for a while!”
"Huh, you said it lightly. When we flew through the sky before, we obviously found some unusual conditions here. At that time, we thought it was the reflection of ice crystals, or some natural mysterious phenomenon. But not long ago, Dai and I Liz saw an abnormal glow here again in the distance! Maybe it's the ghosts who died in the war, or some dangerous forest monsters, or something more dangerous."
The Griffin Knight looked at Lanisa Knight's slender arms and legs, and then looked at the hunters: "It's not that I speak directly, and none of you may be able to handle those things. I just heard that you and Dai Lisa seem to be It has something to do with it, so it's better to leave this place early. To deal with those whining animals, you can try to raise more hounds, and use hounds to find the old dens of hidden animals."
Knight Lanisa was a little angry. She closed her eyes and pursed her lips, wanting to say that she is quite capable, and she and her subordinates had already defeated a huge monster before. But when I thought that no matter what I said, the other party would definitely not believe it, so I kept my mouth shut.
At this time, Kiel, who was feeding the horses, walked over hesitantly, and seemed to have something to say.
Breathing, Knight Lanisa looked at Kiel, so he spoke: "What's wrong with Kiel? Just tell me if you have anything to say. I'm listening."
Kiel first smiled awkwardly, and then saluted the two knights: "Master Knights, there is something I have to explain."
Initially ignoring Keir, a very young boy, the Griffin Knight was concentrating on grilling the skewers. But he heard that Kiel used "Knights" and added a word representing plural, so he looked at Kiel, wondering if this young man had something to say to him.
"It's like this. I think something I did before may have caused a misunderstanding among the Knights of the Griffon Knights." Kirki said aiaiai.
"Misunderstand?"
"Misunderstand?"
The two looked at each other, stopped what they were doing, and said in unison: "What misunderstanding?"
Kiel took off the hunting buckle of the long sword on his waist, and held the long sword in his hand: "Master Lanisa Knight, you know that you rewarded me for my achievements in the last job before, so that I can A chance to reforge my longsword."
"I know, I didn't expect you to be quite rich." Lanisa Knight returned.
"Yes, I was quite lucky. When I dealt with the bandits, I got two valuable treasures and sold them for some money in the Bingxun Pass where there are many merchants in the south. Then I gave the magic material recommended to me by the craftsman. I bought them all."
"Is it all added to your sword?" Knight Lanisa was also a little surprised.
"Five types were added to the six types. So, my long sword has some special abilities." When Kiel said this, Knight Lanisa was not stupid, and immediately thought of the next thing, and then She glanced at the Griffin Knight across the fire, and remembered what the other party had said before.
"I understand!" She looked at the Griffin Knight opposite: "Kiel's long sword has the blessing ability of the Church of the Sun God. You seemed to see the light of his sword in the air before!"
The male Griffin Rider raised his eyebrows.
At the same time, Dai Lisi Griffin Knight also came back after feeding the Griffon's snacks: "What are you talking about? Do you know what the abnormal glowing thing we saw before?"
"Yes, look." After speaking, Knight Lanisa grabbed the long sword in Kirto's hand and pulled it out.
But when the long sword was unsheathed, it only revealed the reforged gray blade. The smooth blade just looked at it for a while, and experienced knights could tell that it was a weapon that they were not inferior to.
"The long sword is good, and then?" Knight Dai Lisi crossed his arms and asked this sentence calmly. Beside him, the male Griffin Knight shrugged his shoulders, while watching, the kebabs in his hands kept moving.
Knight Lanisa blushed. She tapped the blade with her fingers. As a result, the blade did not emit the white light she expected except for a steady echo. The blade did not even vibrate at all.
Kiel rubbed his nose, stretched out his hand in embarrassment and said, "Master Knight, only I can use the special ability of the long sword. This was mentioned in the instructions issued by the church."
"Here, take it." Knight Lanisa shut her mouth tightly, shook the long sword in her hand, moved her right hand from the hilt to the sword body, and handed the hilt of the long sword to Kiel.
Kiel nodded slightly, then stretched out his right hand to hold the hilt of the sword.
As soon as Kiel held the hilt of the long sword, the whole long sword changed from ordinary to different in an instant.
First, the white light quickly lit up from the church blessing prayer on the sword body, and then these white lights spread to the entire long sword body in an instant. The gray sword body immediately disappeared, turning into a strange weapon emitting bursts of white light.
At the same time, the hilt of the sword in Kiel's hand emitted a cyan light that seemed to be able to penetrate matter and nourish life. Even the weighted metal beads at the end of the hilt emitted a silver-white light like a full moon.
Everyone in the stronghold was attracted by this weapon. It was not the first time that the hunters saw Kiel's weapon showing its power. Even at this time, the weapon was far less bright than before. After all, the light released before could blind everyone for a short time.
The other three had mixed reactions.
Knight Lanisa squinted her eyes, muttering something like 'The Church of the Sun God really has some skills'.
The male Griffin Knight was taken aback: "What is this? A magic weapon?"
His companion, Knight Dai Lisi, explained: "It's a blessed weapon from the Church of the Gods. Well, it just looks good. There are no magic weapons that are practical and changeable." As she spoke, she stroked the weapon on her waist A large ruby staff with a short wooden handle.
-
After showing it, Kiel quickly restrained the light of the long sword. The three knights looked at each other, and it was Knight Dairis who asked a new question: "The last time we came here, we saw the light from the top here."
Kiel quickly explained: "This weapon can release all the power of the weapon at once, but the consequence is that you have to find an open place to recharge it according to the sun. After all, it is the blessing of the Church of the Sun God, as stated in the documentation. When I came here with my companions before, I was attacked by northern land wolves on the road. At that time, the situation was urgent, so I released the blessing ability at full power. After that, I moved on the road for a few days until the construction of the stronghold here was completed. I went out Before hunting, stick my longsword upside down in the middle of the top platform."
The male griffin rider looked up at the dark clouds in the sky~www.mtlnovel.com~ Everyone followed and looked up at the thick dark clouds that might snow at any time: "Can the sun shine in this kind of weather?"
Keir shrugged: "I tried it casually at the time, and it turned out that as long as it is a place where you can see the sky during the day, it doesn't matter whether it is blocked by clouds or not."
For Keir's explanation, the two Griffon riders can understand. After all, they often ride Griffins above the clouds, knowing that no matter how heavy the rain or the heavy snow under the clouds, or the top of the dark clouds.
It was always the same above the clouds, it was always sunny.
Finally, Knight Dai Lisi asked: "But until we came over, we saw something glowing on the top in the distance?"
Kiel scratched his head: "I returned to the stronghold with my companions a while ago, and then I went straight up to take off the long sword. Then I heard the griffin flapping its wings and the return of Knight Lanisa when I came back."
The three knights raised their eyebrows and looked at each other.
Keir knew they didn't believe it. After all, there is no such thing as such a coincidence in life: "Now there should be a dent on the top where I inserted the long sword upside down and the ice and snow that fixed the long sword to the ground."
As soon as Kiel finished speaking, Knight Dai Lisi slapped his forehead: "I saw those things. I found those traces when I was feeding Nack just now. It seems that you are not lying, **** it, we have been here for two days It's all wasted!"
The male Griffin Knight shrugged and concentrated on grilling the meat skewers in his hands: "Don't be upset, try my craft, at least in this remote place, you can eat these skewers. It's not the worst result."
Rolling his eyes, Knight Dai Lisi sat on the stump chair: "I'd rather go back with the heads of a few dwarves than tell the captain that the two of us made this trip for nothing."
