Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 75 Broken

Caroline opened her eyes in the silence.

Flickering sparks splashed and crackled in the woodpile of the stove, making a slight crackling sound, dyeing her face a tinge of orange.She found herself huddled in a chair, and with just a slight adjustment, the robe that covered her slid to the floor.

The girl slowly lowered her feet to the ground, and what she touched was not the soft carpet of the tavern room, but the cold stone bricks.Her shoes were taken off at some point, and she was only wearing off-white cotton socks on her little feet, and she felt a slight chill when she landed.

The half-closed wooden door didn't do its job properly, and the cold wind leaked in through the crack of the door and blew past her.She sniffed her nose twice, couldn't help it, and sneezed lightly.

Then she heard a soft moan from the corner of the room, followed by a gentle girlish voice:

"Caroline, are you awake?"

Mia Christian stood up slowly. She had just sat on a hard wooden chair, leaning against the wall, and took a nap for a while, her back was a little sore from sleep.

"Well, sister Mia, where are we now?"

Caroline finally found her little shoes. She peeked at the open door. It was dark and scary outside.She hurriedly picked up the robe on the ground and trot to Mia.

"We are on the wall of the Tower of the North Wind. This is a temporary rest room. Mr. Evans asked us to rest here." Mia stretched her body, put on her robe, and glanced outside,
"It's already dark."

"And Mr. Adrian, is he back?"

The girl pulled her robe and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Wei... Probably not yet, but I think it will be soon." Mia felt a little uneasy, and it should have been half a day since Cyril was dragged into the underground palace.

She didn't know much about the ruins, but she hurriedly made up for half the night after knowing that she was going to the ruins.The simplest level of the tomb may only take a few 10 minutes to explore. Even a novice like her can tap the small skeletons and slimes that may appear with a staff in it.

But if it is a second-floor underground palace, there is no strong enough team. It is difficult for a mage like her to move an inch in it, and the exploration time has to be doubled...

The slate that cannot be opened after being closed, and the green light that resonates with Caroline, all these make Mia extremely uneasy.

Mia didn't dare to hide anything from Captain Christine, and told her everything she knew. She only hoped that the Silver Blade Knights could play a role, and she didn't care about the rogue and the lizard. , Mr. Wei can be rescued.

But the girl didn't dare to show this anxiety on her face, especially to Caroline - whenever Caroline grabbed her mage robe, she felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility urging her To care and cherish this girl who is like a small animal.

"Are you hungry? I'll take you to find something to eat. Maybe we can meet Mr. Wei back after eating."

Mia took Caroline's hand and pushed open the half-closed door. The high night wind immediately rushed in violently, as if it wanted to tear her apart.

Mia couldn't help frowning, and blocked Caroline behind her.It's not that she hasn't been to the wall of the Tower of the North Wind at night, but she has never seen such a monstrous wind——

Irritable, frantic, and with a hint of... magic.

magic?

She was slightly startled, and immediately stretched out her hand, holding her breath and staring at the palm of her hand

Spell model construction - done.

Infusion of magic power...

Mia frowned. This is just a one-ring water spell. She has practiced it so well that she can finish casting it in less than a second. But at this moment, the magic power in her body is just about to be poured into the spell model. Immediately disturbed by that wind, overflowing chaotically in the wind.

"Where did this magical turbulent wind come from?"

There was a bit of panic in her eyes. If she looked at it with the naked eye, she couldn't find any clues around her. It seemed to be a windy night.But the turbulence that belongs to magic really told her that these are just illusions:

"No, I have to go to Captain Christine!" She immediately made up her mind, and was about to wrap up her mage's robe and simply hug Caroline by her waist, when she heard the girl behind her whisper:

"Sister Mia, I just had a dream."

She turned around, but saw that the white-haired girl's eyes seemed to be covered with a faint green light, like a cat quietly watching her in the dark:

"In the dream, I saw a lot of skeletons, surrounded by the city wall, and the people in the city were biting each other—"

"Caroline, what are you talking about?" Mia put her hands on Caroline's shoulders, shaking them back and forth.

But Caroline didn't seem to hear Mia's inquiry at all, and continued:

"Then, the ground was split open, and a white thing flew in the air, and the city walls were shattered."

"It's coming towards me, it's coming, it's taking me away, I'm flying, I'm flying!! Mmm-"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, a strange blue layer began to appear under the green light in her eyes, and her higher-pitched voice almost turned into a scream at the end, but all this came to an abrupt end——

Mia vigorously picked up the girl, hugged her into her arms, and blocked the girl's inexplicable frenzy with her own body.Caroline's little hands were waving in the air, and her calves were also kicking wildly, but she lost her strength after a while, and fell limp in her arms.

"Are you ready?"

she asked softly.

A tired, soft voice answered her.

"Sister Mia, I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'll take you to dinner now, you can eat as much as you want."

Mia combed Caroline's messy white hair with her hands, and was about to walk down the city wall when suddenly there was a rumbling sound from the city wall under her feet.She almost fell on one side of the wall, and the quiet city wall in front of her suddenly became noisy, and there were armor clashes and chaotic footsteps below, and soldiers ran out of the tower.

"What are you doing here, go to the city quickly, don't get in the way here!"

A knight in light gray armor yelled at Mia and Caroline, while blocking some soldiers with his body, shouting for them to get out of the way.Mia knew that this was not the place she should be staying. She was about to run down the city wall with Caroline in her arms, when Caroline screamed in her ear:

"Sister Mia, look quickly, the cover, the cover is cracked!"

cover?What cover?
She looked back in astonishment, but didn't see anything that matched Caroline's description, but the next second a swift wind swept across her cheeks, and the magic power mixed in that wind was even more chaotic than the one just now, colliding at high speed The moment the elements of the element passed by before her eyes even rubbed against lightning, it made her heart skip a beat.

Masses of chaotic magic, shapes of hoods, shattering...

The girl's pupils shrank suddenly, she immediately turned around, grabbed the kind knight just now, and shouted with the loudest voice: "Quick, go and tell your captain!"

"The protective barrier of the Tower of the North Wind is broken!"
