Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 622

"Goodwin? Where's Goodwin, Goodwin?"

The knight Jonas Johnny stood loyally on guard in the embassy when he was grabbed by the shoulder and asked heavily, "Where is Goodwin? Jonas, do you know?"

He looked at the person in front of him who asked him the question: the woman whom Her Excellency Heloise Trewell had told them not to approach was among them, a mysterious woman wearing a sheep bone mask who seemed to be only related to the Earl Among them, there is also Greely Stard, who has been following the Earl from Salconan to this point, but has no sense of existence—it seems to be a young alchemist?Or an astrologer?
And the one who led them was finally a person he respected—Solkonan's professional mage, Sugar Winkler.

"Mr. Winkler." He immediately bowed his head and replied seriously: "Goodwin has been living in the guest room on the second floor of the embassy and never left."

Sugar Winkler responded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Jonas, don't stand guard here, go and gather the brothers of the Knights. I have a temporary mission and need your help."

"temporary assignment?"

The knight's eyes straightened as soon as he heard it. The knights of the Assault Knights who were asked to stay in the embassy have long been idle. Training?stand guard?These sounds like things that recruits and guards should do, if not because of their full respect for the Earl, they would not do it!

But at this moment, this "temporary task" made Jonas Johnny excited all of a sudden, and the laziness caused by staying in New Orway Port and failing to move forward with the team was completely burned away.

He answered loudly, and then hurried on to gather all the knights he could muster.

Sugar Winkler then found Goodwin in the guest room.

The silver braid of the port, the only surviving ghost planted by the southern nobles of La Rochelle, after coming to the La Rochelle embassy a few days ago, although he obtained security and was protected from being assassinated by the port mafia, he knew The content had to be spit out.

As for the means... the gentle Earl Adrian's means, of course, are gentle.

"What's the matter with you?" Looking at Sugar Winkler, Goodwin's eyes were full of vigilance, and the moment he saw the witch Veronica Helene, he immediately cried out in horror:

"Ah! Why are you again? Are you trying to torture me again?"

——If being counted down by strangers one by one from the time they wet their pants is considered a gentle means.

"Take it easy, Mr. Goodwin."

Veronica looked at him with a smile and walked towards him.The middle-aged man with a big belly had already sat on the chair in fear and slid back to the corner. The witch stretched out her hand to press his belly, and he could only watch the white and delicate fingers rubbing back and forth on his belly.

"I know that you are very familiar with Bennett O'Neill, the consul of the Trento division, and know the consuls of every district. Now I need your contacts so that we can contact the real power of Port New Orway figure……"

Goodwin's expression gradually calmed down, he looked at Veronica Helene suspiciously, and said in surprise: "But the real high-level executives in Port New Orway should be on Jufer Island at the moment, and they can wait for them to come from the island. After coming back last time..."

"Can't wait." Sugel interrupted him, "I'm here to order you, not to ask for your help. Goodwin, if you don't want the city you live in to be swallowed by magma, just press our Say it and do it—”

"Magma? What are you talking about?" Goodwin was startled, but at this moment the door of the room was opened, and Jindred, who broke in wearing a white velvet cloak, folded her wings like a big bird, and slid down lightly In front of Su Geer, he put the woman on his back on the ground.

When seeing this woman for the first time, Goodwin was shocked again:
"Zoya Peternova Butler! How did you get General Erro Butler's wife here? Urella!"

His brows and eyes were almost twisted together, and he looked at Su Geer in horror: "Did La Rochelle come to Port New Orville to declare war?"

"Shut up." Su Geer said to him rudely, and then put his hand on Zoya Petronova Butler's arm, and gently circulated the current, which immediately revived the unconscious young woman.

"I...I am...you are..."

Zoya slowly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be little purple arc snakes running around in front of her eyes.She vaguely remembered that she was supposed to be in the basement of the castle, and was punched heavily in the stomach, and then went away covered in electric current...

"Where is this place?!"

She finally came to her senses, sat up with her arms propped on the ground, looked at a few unfamiliar faces around her, and finally stopped on Goodwin's body.

"You are...the one from the Trento Division..."

"Goodwin, Mrs. Butler." Goodwin replied helplessly, "We met at a banquet about half a month ago..."

"Tell me, where is this place?" Zoya grabbed the straw and struggled to crawl towards Goodwin, at least she only knew him here.

"This is the embassy in La Rochelle, Mrs. Butler." Sugel said at this time, with an apology in his voice: "I am the head of the mage group under the command of Earl Adrian, and I am sorry to let you down in this way. Come to the embassy in La Rochelle."

"The embassy in La Rochelle?"

She looked at the surrounding decoration ignorantly, seemed to recognize it, finally nodded silently, then curled up her legs, and asked in a low voice:
"So...why am I here?"

"This matter...is a bit complicated."

Sugar also couldn't explain to Zoya Peternova Butler how he got into their castle and what he saw in the basement - apparently the lady knew nothing about what happened under their house You know, a complete outsider.

"It's not the past that counts, it's what's going to happen next. Your country is at stake, and your words are needed at this time, whether you believe it or not—"

He then explained to Zoya what might happen next, leaving the latter stunned, and finally shook his head vigorously, "I'm sorry, what you said is really..."

"It's hard to accept, isn't it?" Su Geer interjected, "No one will believe that this is true, but divination gives such an accurate picture, for the safety of Xinaowei Port..."

It was also at this time that Goodwin understood what might happen next, and he stared at Su Geer dumbfounded: The fog blocked the harbor?Volcano eruption?An unknown beast?

"I should have lived in 1441, not hundreds of years ago, Mr. Winkler..."

"The crisis will not disappear with the passage of time. On the contrary, it has always been with us, and it is nothing more than a matter of distance." Su Geer said seriously.

His eyes fell on Zoya again. The young woman was already sitting on the chair, covering her head with her hands, with a pained look on her face.

"What we need you to do is to bring us to the military area and to your husband, Ms. Butler..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zoya suddenly raised her head, and the expression on that beautiful face was extremely ferocious:

"Even if Xinaowei Port is going to be destroyed, let it be destroyed! Isn't this a place worth protecting!"

"Mrs. Butler?" Goodwin looked at her in surprise, but Zoya immediately glared at him, and said sharply, "Don't call me that again, Butler, Butler's, let Butler eat shit!"

She then covered her face, covered her ears, and lowered her head like an ostrich, as if she didn't intend to talk to anyone anymore.

The witch on the side narrowed her eyes at this moment.

She stared at Zoya and looked again, and it didn't take long before a playful smile appeared on her face, and then said softly:

"Miss Qiliannov, it seems that you have had a really hard time these past few years—"

Zoya's trembling body suddenly stopped.

And Veronica cleared her throat at this moment, and then sang softly:

"In the country by the sea, there is such a beautiful girl. She has a beloved lover. Although she is a down-and-out kid, they have known each other for many years. Wait for him to change her into a new dress~"

"But the girl has a marriage contract on her back, and she doesn't want to go away, but the shadow of her father is like a mountain, forcing her to go to the dark room~"

"The desolate boy boarded the boat and went to a distant place; she walked into the wedding hall, tears fell on the pillow~"

Her voice is high and low, and each syllable of New Aowei Hong Kong is pressed short and fast, giving people a sense of novelty and horror; the straightforward text depicts a sad story.But Zoya raised her head gradually, and the ferocious expression on her face suddenly became extremely panicked:

"You, who are you? How do you know this? No, stop singing, stop singing!"

She yelped, nearly cried, and Veronica stopped singing just in time to watch her silently.

"Miss Qilianov." She asked softly in a calm voice like a yellow warbler, "You think the person you love is gone, don't you?"

"You've been forced to leave your lover, you've grown disillusioned with the land beneath your feet, you feel like you're a puppet, at the mercy of others—it would be a good thing if, if someone could destroy this country—you are Thinking about it, right?"

"No... I didn't, no, no..." Zoya shook her head again and again, she stood up, and stumbled back, as if trying to escape Veronica's sight.

But Veronica had quick eyes and quick hands, and pressed her shoulders, and then screamed: "You are like this, you wish your husband died, or you died, you are already tired and tired of work, you Want to escape from this world that makes your love wither!"

Zoya stopped.

There was still panic on her face at first, but when Veronica finished speaking, the panic disappeared.

She looked at Veronica with red and swollen eyes, and after a while, she raised her head and began to cry.

And Veronica opened her arms, patting Zoya's back lightly like a mother comforting a child, until her crying became slightly softer.

"But Miss Qilianov, do you know?"

"The person you like doesn't leave you, but is very close to you, very close, maybe they need your help—"

Zoya raised her head from her shoulders and looked at Veronica's face in disbelief. At this time, the witch's slightly pale lips parted slightly, and she uttered a name:
"Bathalome Teach Drake."

Zoya's eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't help reaching out to hold Veronica's cheeks, staring blankly at the witch's eyes for a while, and then asked softly:

"Is...really?"

"It's absolutely true." The Witch chuckled, "He's on Euph's Island."

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Of course I didn't lie to you, Miss Qiliannov."

Veronica backed away lightly, suddenly distanced herself from Zoya, and at the same time, her voice floated into Zoya's ears:

"If you were asked to take up arms and fight for the light in the dark world, would you be willing?"

The witch didn't look at Zoya again.

She already knew what answer she would give.

----------

Fog, the overwhelming fog covered the sight.

The pier has been engulfed in mist, and people leave their boats in panic, only to find that after they leave the shore, they can no longer see where the boat they were on just now is.

Evans stood by the pier.

The port in the Taranto district should have been the most crowded and bustling place in New Aowei Port, but at this moment he had an illusion of "desertness".

"Cassandra." He said a little helplessly, "I can't even contact my fleet in this weather."

He stopped for a while, but he didn't hear the response from the people around him. He turned his head to look, only to find that the latter was putting his ears sideways in a listening posture.

"have what……"

"Shh." Cassandra gestured to him, then listened attentively, turned her head suddenly, and looked at the mountains in the distance——

"Did you hear that? Is that the sound of the mountains?"

She frowned, lowered her voice and asked Evans, "Rumbling, like something is flowing?"

Evans turned his head and listened to the same, and replied after a while, "I didn't hear it, but I think there is something in the sea..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "boom" from the pier in front of him, as if something jumped out of the sea and landed on the shore.

But the fog blocked his vision, and he couldn't see anything.

"Should you hear this voice?" He confirmed to Cassandra.

"I heard..." Cassandra had already rolled up her sleeves, exposing her arms and the slender sword blade hanging below her arms, "Evans, I have a bad feeling."

"Me too." Evans took a deep breath and pulled out the long sword in his hand.

He slowly approached the front of the pier, and the sound of "click, click" continued to sound, becoming more and more clear.His expression became more and more serious, he raised his sword in front of him, and stopped——

But at the moment he stopped, there was a loud "boom" from the long stone road in front of him, and then it turned into a pile of fragments, smashing towards him overwhelmingly.
