Chapter 131 Isn’t it possible to eat alone? (Two chapters in one)

at the same time.

In the dining room of Earl Harris's mansion in Meister County.

Several middle-aged men dressed obviously as aristocrats were having breakfast together.

One of them, a bearded man wearing a black patterned aristocratic dress, was cutting a large piece of beef ribs gracefully. He controlled the sterling silver knife and fork very skillfully in his hands.

One piece after another, square pieces of steak were stuffed into his mouth.

Compared with Baron Alonso, who was enjoying breakfast happily, the two people opposite him looked obviously confused, and the eating movements of their hands were almost twice as slow.

If Ren was at the scene, he would have discovered that these two people were actually Knight Royd of the Habsburg Manor in Goldsmith Town, and Perez's swordsmanship instructor.

Although the two of them were eating breakfast slowly, they couldn't figure out why they received a message early in the morning from Baron Alonso, the eldest son of Earl Habsburg, inviting them to have breakfast together.

The two of them have a very average personal relationship with Alonso.

"Huh? Jennifer?" Alonso still has some thoughts about this young, beautiful and business-minded Baroness.

"Lord Baron, please forgive us for withdrawing!"

"What? Baroness Crowley, is your information accurate?" Alonso pretended to be shocked and stood up.

Alonso was stunned?
What's happening here?
A pampered aristocratic lady is actually so well-informed?

From this point of view, I am afraid that some of the rumors I heard before are not groundless!

"Hey! Knight Lloyd, why are you here?"

"As you command, Lord Baron."

"Of course, Jenny is in Goldsmith Town at the moment." Baroness Crowley said with certainty.

The moment Baroness Crowley saw Lloyd, her beautiful eyes widened and she couldn't help blurting out.

Hearing what Baroness Crowley said, Lloyd turned around and left without waiting for Alonso to say anything.

At this time, the housekeeper Michelle suddenly walked quickly from outside to Alonso and said: "Sir, Baroness Crowley is here to visit. It seems that there is something urgent!"

Originally, the two of them thought that Alonso invited them to have breakfast to discuss something important.

Therefore, when I received the news, I was still surprised. However, as a knight under the Habs family, it was natural not to offend the eldest son of the earl family for no reason.

What, shouldn't I be here?

At this time, the beautiful maid on the side respectfully handed over a hot towel.

Now, I couldn't stop him even if I wanted to.

Although the three of them are nobles and there is no shortage of women, they can't help but take a second look at beautiful women.

"Of course, thank you Lord Baron for your generous hospitality." Knight Lloyd nodded and said.

This made Alonso a little confused about the other party's intention.

In particular, the extraordinary bodies of formal knights also cause their hormones to be constantly overflowing, and their desires in this regard are far beyond those of ordinary people.

"Huh?" Lloyd was confused.

Alonso's eyes flashed and he was joking, how can I let you go back to Gold Town now? The Black Flame Church can hold a blood sacrifice ceremony in Gold Town now.

But at this moment, breakfast was almost over, and the baron in front of him still didn't mention anything important. He just asked about the current situation of the Habsburg Manor.

"Wait, Knight Lloyd, Professor Perez, please wait a moment." Alonso quickly called out to the two of them.

"It's very rich, thank you, Lord Baron."

"Lord Baron, since you have guests, we will return to Goldshire first." Lloyd planned to stand up and leave.

Soon, Baroness Crowley, dressed as a noble lady, walked into the restaurant. Her beautiful appearance, towering and trembling tallness and fair skin immediately attracted the attention of three men.

This is somewhat rude behavior among nobles.

Alonso picked it up, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "My two knights, are you satisfied with your breakfast?"

Baroness Crowley had met Knight Lloyd at several previous aristocratic cocktail parties. She knew that he was the person in charge of the Habsburg Manor in Goldsmith Town and was highly trusted by the Earl.

However, when he saw the look in the eyes of the two knights opposite him, he cried out in his heart that it was even worse.

Regarding this, the two of them couldn't figure it out. Since there was nothing important, why did Baron Alonso call them to come at the same time early in the morning?
Winning over? Can one breakfast win over two knights?

That knight is too worthless.

Usually the other party avoids him.

But there was something obviously wrong with the way the two knights looked at Alonso just now.

"Don't you know that Goldshire was just attacked by cultists?"

Seeing the confused Knight Lloyd, Baroness Crowley's heart skipped a beat.

"Michelle, let Baroness Crowley come directly to the restaurant." After thinking about it, Alonso said directly to the butler.

"What!" Lloyd's expression suddenly changed. He and Perez looked at each other and immediately realized that this time Baron Alonso called them over early in the morning. I'm afraid it wasn't as simple as having breakfast together.

Why did you come to him this time?

Could it be that the two family knights of the Crowley family finally forced her to have no choice, so they came to her for help?
If that’s the case, that’s good news!

The details of several expressions were all noticed by Baroness Crowley, who was good at observing words and expressions, and she began to think deeply in her heart.

"Please wait a moment, Knight Lloyd, I will go with you." Alonso reacted quickly.

He smiled bitterly in his heart. Alonso never thought that the person who caused problems in this matter would actually be Baroness Crowley. Damn it.

Now, he can only take the initiative to ask for permission to go to Gold Flash Town, so as to try his best to clear his suspicion in this matter.

"Wait a minute, Knight Lloyd, I'll go with you too. After all, Jenny is also in Goldshire, so I can't worry about it." Baroness Crowley couldn't help but said quickly.
-
Goldshire.

The square outside the church.

Although Mitri rushed towards Renne quickly, he did not rush forward to fight hand to hand. His first thought was to use long-range attacks to deal with the 'exhausted' Renne.

He stopped about twenty meters away from Renn, and carefully controlled a ball of black flames, and threw it towards Renn accurately.

This made Ren secretly say, 'What a pity'.

"Shh!"

Renn took a side step and dodged Mitri's black fire ball.

Immediately afterwards, Renn rushed towards Mitri quickly. With his strong posture and smooth movements, there was no trace of injury or exhaustion!

Mitri's pupils shrank suddenly, and he exclaimed with an expression of disbelief:
"How can this be!!"

"How could you not be hurt at all?"

"You shouldn't be exhausted!!"

Facing Ren, who suddenly changed from a sick cat to a ferocious tiger in an instant, Mitri couldn't figure out the reason without breaking his mind!

Just now, the muscles in the opponent's body were trembling slightly, and he could not stand even with his sword. Mitri was very sure that even the best bard or opera singer he had ever seen could not perform the role. Such a realistic effect!
In the short half-second that Mitri was stunned, Renn crossed a distance of more than ten meters.

The distance between the two quickly closed.

Mitri suddenly looked panicked.

He quickly retreated backwards while using all his strength to unleash the black flame fireball.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

I saw that he seemed to have some kind of blessing, and he could release the black flame fireball faster than the previous black flame monks!
The black flame fireballs immediately attacked Renn like a barrage of cannons.

"Break the limit!"

As Renn started breaking the limit, his strength and physical agility immediately increased by 35%, and his speed increased again!

Several incoming black fireballs passed by Ren's high-speed moving afterimage, hit the ground behind him, and exploded one after another, sending smoke and dust everywhere.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer.

Renn quickly swayed left and right again, dodging the opponent's two black fire balls.

Then, with a rare upward slash from the shimmering giant sword, the opponent's right hand that was holding the strange bone staff was sliced ​​away.

Then, with the experience of level 6 giant bear swordsmanship, Renn instinctively took another arrow step to the right, and the big sword followed the trend and made a cleave!

"Buzz!"

Ren's left foot suddenly stopped, maintaining a sideways slashing posture, and stopped from high-speed movement.

"what!!!"

Only a scream was heard behind him!

"Pfft!"

Immediately afterwards, there was another sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Ren's wrist flicked slightly, and the red color on the big sword suddenly became much less.

At this time, he slowly turned around.

I saw that the black flame monk had been split in half diagonally from his right shoulder to his left hip. The sound of the heavy object falling to the ground just now was the sound of the opponent's upper body falling to the ground.

The powerful vitality of the Black Flame monk has become a kind of shackles and torture at this time, so that he cannot die quickly and can only face the coming of death slowly.

This fear of death is the instinct of all living things, so at this moment, the other party is still howling hoarsely!

But all this has nothing to do with Renn.

He didn't care about the opponent's life and death. He saw Ren stepped forward and picked up the strange bone staff that was clutched in the severed limb of the opponent's right hand.

It seems that because of this thing, the attack speed of the black flame monk's long-range fireball has been greatly increased.

Moreover, Ren also saw that this kind of thing played an important role in the evil ritual just now. At this moment, there are still traces of the smell of blood escaping from the blood-colored crystal at the top of the bone staff.

However, the moment Ren held the bone staff, suddenly, the system prompt rang.

This immediately stunned Renn!
The system prompt is as follows:

【Ding! It is detected that the host has obtained an unknown rare object, triggering a job change - Black Flame Monk! 】

[The prerequisites for promotion to Black Flame Monk are: 12. Possession of any extraordinary career panel; . Spirituality of points or above; . Belief in the God of Hunting or the use of unknown wonders. If the current conditions are met, do you want to transfer to Black Flame Monk? 】

what!
With this career panel system, I can actually change my career to become a black flame monk?

A profession that is clearly evil?
This can't help but make Renn very curious!

The strange black flame is indeed extremely powerful, and the black flame monk is more like a combination of a wizard and a knight.

If it weren't for his extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin lv2', I would have died several times!

But when Renn thought of the 'water snake waist' scene, he shuddered all over!
"Of course it is my wish to improve my strength, but it is really hard to become like a human being and a ghost."

"Moreover, after the job change, the original Knight (Extraordinary) panel will inevitably be covered. Because my current total number of panels is already 4/4, so it is not a new addition, but a job change."

After thinking about it silently, Ren slightly shook his head and chose no.

At this time, two cavalrymen came in, bowed respectfully to Ren, pointed to the body broken in two on the ground, and said: "Sir Ren, should we move this outside too?"

Ren nodded.

Including the previous corpses, he had three trophies that he had not picked up. Unfortunately, the strongest one 'immolated himself', and the trophies were also destroyed!
Just as Ren was walking out of the church hall.

"Ren."

A familiar voice sounded not far away.

"Mother?" This voice was all too familiar to Ren, and he immediately turned around in surprise.

I saw my mother Emma, ​​supported by the aristocratic lady Jane, stepping down from a luxury carriage on the side.

"How did these two people get together?" Renn didn't understand at first.

"Ren, are you okay?" Mother Emma walked forward quickly and carefully inspected Ren's injuries.
"Mom, I'm fine! I have rough skin and thick flesh, don't worry!" Renn patted his chest and said.

With the extraordinary characteristic 'Iron Skin LV2', he estimated that his defense power was not much different from that of the Iron-maned Bear. Although he was probably not as good as the Bear King, he was still seriously thick-skinned. After her mother Emma took Ren and took a closer look, she found that it was indeed only the blackness caused by the flames, and there were no injuries. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh and finally felt relieved.

"By the way, Ren, this is Miss Jenny. You should know her, right? The one I saw last time was also Miss Jenny, right?" Her mother, Emma, ​​seemed to have thought of something and gave a rather reproachful look in her eyes. He glanced at Ren and said.

"Yes, mother, Miss Jenny is my friend." Renn turned his head to look at Jenny, smiled and nodded.

The affirmation in Ren's eyes made Jenny feel happy. She knew that the effect of what she had done before seemed to be better than expected.

She cleared her throat and said, "Sir Ren, I just happened to meet your mother."

Jenny briefly explained the matter, and Ren turned to look at his mother, Emma. Seeing her mother nodding slightly, he couldn't help but really recognized Miss Jenny in front of him.

Not everyone will think about the safety of others in a dangerous environment.

At least from this point of view, this Miss Jenny is still very good.

"Mom, shall I take you home first?" Ren thought for a while and decided to send his mother home to rest first.

"Yes, Aunt Emma, ​​you were frightened today. Please take my carriage first and go home early to rest for a while." Jenny immediately agreed.

"Okay, Ren, that guy"

"Mom, I'll go home with you first, and I'll come back later."

Before Ren left, he waved to the little Mateo and said, "Matteo, I'll leave this to you. I'll take my mother home first and come back later."

"I obey, don't worry, Lord Ren! Leave this to me." Mateo assured, patting his chest.

So, Ren and his mother Emma got into Jenny's carriage and drove towards home.

On the carriage, Ren suddenly remembered that Jenny seemed to come to see him, but because Goldsmith Town was attacked, they never had a good chat.

"By the way, Miss Jenny, are you here this time?"

"Oh! Sir Ren, I almost forgot that last time you told me that you wanted to learn spiritual writing. In addition to the two books last time, this time, I happened to find a book about spiritual writing in the family library. I thought you might be interested in the ancient books written in Chinese literature, so I sent them to you personally."

Jenny said as she handed Ren an old book with a slightly damaged appearance.

Ren took it and looked at it, his eyebrows raised, his expression was quite surprised!

Although his spiritual writing (Akkadian) has just begun, this book.——
Lloyd took the lead, followed by Perez, followed by Alonso with two teams of cavalry. At the end of the team was Baroness Crowley's carriage and escort.

The group of people was like a long snake, starting from the county town and moving quickly towards Gold Shine Town.

Halfway through the journey, they met a Goldsmith night watchman who was going to the county to report a message, so they quickly asked: "Has Goldsmith been attacked?"

"Are you Knight Lloyd?"

"Yes, the church in Goldsmith Town was suddenly attacked by cultists while worshiping. At this moment, many residents have been injured or killed!"

The night watchman in Goldshire had met the head of the Habsburg manor during several missions and couldn't help but said happily.

He was the second batch of rescuers sent by Matteo.

Since there was no news from the first batch of rescuers for a long time, it didn't take long for Matteo to send out help again.

When the night watchman left Goldshire, Wren had just arrived at the church.

"How many people are there on the other side? Where is your Sheriff Hamilton?" Lloyd asked anxiously.

"Sir Hamilton went to Nightsong Forest with the church's team this morning."

"What!" Lloyd and Perez looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes!
Goldshire is probably going to be doomed now!
Neither he nor Perez is here!

Hamilton is not here either!
There is no extraordinary combat power in the entire Golden Gold Town!
Relying on ordinary security guards and night watchmen, no matter how brave they are, it is impossible to resist the cultists led by extraordinary combat power.

"Who is responsible for the defense of Goldshire now?"

"Um, this is the newly promoted deputy public security officer, Lord Ren."

"Ren?" Lloyd and Perez were both stunned.

Not long ago, they heard Hamilton mention a young man named Renn, who was said to be very talented as a knight and was appointed captain of the Night Watch.

But when was the other party appointed as deputy public security officer?

However, none of this matters.

The important thing is that it is impossible to resist the cultists based on Ren's words alone.

well! Goldshire. I'm afraid it's another tragedy in Monem Town!

Lloyd and Perez couldn't help but whip their horses hard and galloped towards Goldsmith Town.

After listening to Alonso on the side, although he looked sad on the surface, what he actually thought in his heart was completely opposite.

When Knight Lloyd and the others arrived at the outskirts of Goldsmith Town, they saw plumes of black smoke rising from the center of the town. At the same time, they did not hear any shouts of killing, and their hearts suddenly sank.

"It seems that the cultists have succeeded in their attack!"

Alonso, who saw the same situation, was slightly happy. It seemed that the Black Flame Church moved very quickly and completed the blood sacrifice ceremony so quickly.

They should have already evacuated.

Calculating the time, it’s almost time.

This made Alonso relax a lot and the overall situation was decided.

As soon as they entered the town, they heard cries of pain one after another.

This made Baron Alonso feel more confident.

It seems like just going through the motions by yourself will be fine.

The only pity is that the original arrangement was for the pirates to plunder Goldshire to cover up the Black Flame Church's blood sacrifice ceremony.

But now, it's not appropriate.

I'm afraid that this matter regarding the Black Flame Church cannot be suppressed anymore.

Baroness Crowley, who was in the carriage behind, couldn't help but feel worried when she saw the dire situation in Goldshire.

“So many people have died, will something happen to Jenny?”

As they got closer and closer to the Goldsmith Church, the haggard-looking corpses that were carried out made both Lloyd and Perez frown.

Until they approached the church and saw a group of night watchmen in front, they couldn't help but immediately drove forward and said:

"Who is in charge here?"

"It's me!" Little Mateo heard the noise and turned his head.

"Hey! Knight Lloyd, you are finally here!"

"Have all the cultists evacuated?" Lloyd's face was as heavy as water.

Matteo shook his head and pointed to a carriage in the square outside the church: "The cultists are all there."

"Ok?"

Several people couldn't help but look at it in confusion.

I saw something that looked like corpses lying on the cart, covered in blood and flesh.

"Are you saying that all the cultists are dead?" Lloyd reacted instantly and asked in surprise.

Mateo nodded and said: "Yes, they were all killed by Lord Ren!"

"This is impossible!" Alonso blurted out.

But he immediately realized that it was inappropriate to say this, so he immediately added: "I mean, isn't the other party extraordinary?"

"Of course, sir, there are four extraordinary people coming from the other party."

"I'll just say it!" Alonso couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

He just figured out what the captain of the night watchman meant when he said that the cultists they killed were all here.

Mateo looked at Alonso strangely and said, "The bodies of three of the four enemy extraordinarys are here."

"What? Of the four extraordinarys, you killed three of them?" Alonso's eyes suddenly widened twice, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

At this moment he thought he was hallucinating!
"Yeah, how is this possible? How did you kill them?" Lloyd didn't suspect that Matteo was lying, but felt that this matter was a bit outrageous.

More than twenty ordinary night watchmen repelled four cultists led by extraordinary powers and killed three of them.

No troubadour's autobiography would dare to write like this!
Perez also looked at Mateo in surprise.

Even the beautiful Baroness Crowley raised the curtain of the carriage at this time and stared at Matteo with a surprised look on her face.

From what the other party said just now, she heard Ren's name.

Although she knew that Ren was good at fighting, she couldn't believe that he could fight to such an extent!
Seeing that several big shots were focusing their attention on him made Mateo feel pressured.

However, he still felt that these important figures from the county were quite strange, and they seemed to not believe in their fighting power.

In addition, he felt that it was still necessary to correct the mistakes in the other party's words. After all, this was linked to their merit rewards.

Of course, although Lord Renn occupies the absolute majority, the Night's Watch is the whole body, and they can share a little bit of merit.

"Um, this gentleman didn't kill three, but four extraordinary ones!"

"Here! There's another one there, burned to ashes!"

Matteo pointed to a mass of black ash in the square outside the church.

At this time, neither Lloyd, Perez, Alonso nor Baroness Crowley spoke!
Several people stared blankly at the black ash with their eyes wide open!

The whole scene was silent! ——
In a valley east of Goldshire.

Seventy or eighty strong men armed with various weapons are gathering here to rest.

The leader was a one-eyed man carrying an exaggerated bow.

He is Phil Kratz, the deputy leader of the Black Sails Pirates. Not only has the strength of a senior knight, he is especially good at archery. He is a rare marksman among pirates and has the nickname "Bloody Shooter".

I saw him pacing back and forth with a look of confusion on his face.

Because this is inconsistent with the agreement of the Black Flame Church!

Previously, the other party made it very clear that once the signal flare was launched around ten o'clock, they would be allowed to plunder Goldish Town. For this, the Black Flame Church also paid them a large sum of money.

But it was almost 10:30 in the morning, and no signal flares were seen above Gold Gold Town.

I did see a few puffs of black smoke, maybe a few families were preparing for lunch early?

Mudd, the brothers are all hungry!
In addition, he also promised Baron Norman that this time he would help him deal with a kid with quasi-knight strength. It is said that the other person is serving among the night watchmen of Goldsmith Town and has quite a talent for knights.

Of course, such a small thing is just done casually!

The main reason is that if you still can't wait for the signal, you will be in trouble!

Should we withdraw or go up?

"You guys, what are those sneaky cultists doing?"

"I've been waiting for a long time!"

One of the pirates spit out the grass roots in his mouth and complained impatiently.

"Boss, why do we have to wait for their signal? Can't we just go up?"

"Yeah, just go ahead, boss!"

"Are we, the Black Sail Pirates, still going to listen to the orders of those cultists?"

Someone got up and instantly set off the bad-tempered pirates.

In order to rob Goldshire, they came from the coast in the middle of the night. They didn't even eat breakfast, they all wanted to make a big fortune.

As a result, there is no news about those grandsons now.

It’s time to stop eating alone!
