Chapter 143 Daenerys

Chapter 144 Daenerys

Richard was overjoyed, but said calmly: "Director Boris, the price is not a problem, I just hope it can be done as soon as possible!"

Boris nodded and said: "Dear guest, please wait a moment, I will do it now!"

Half an hour later, Richard left the Peter Auction House with a look of joy on his face, and felt a sense of happiness after losing something.

Originally, he thought that he had to sell the spoils he had just obtained, but he didn't expect that there was a potion like [Purifying Water].

Now, he touched his arms and found a total of three bottles of [Purifying Water]. Not only could he keep the [Mutation Summoning Wand], but he also kept the [Phantom Pendant].

Richard came to the hotel in the market again without hesitation. In the surprised eyes of the boss, he opened a room again and began to use [Purifying Water] to eliminate the aura on the two pieces of equipment.

According to the process Boris said, after some operations, Richard was excited to hold the [Mutation Summoning Wand] and [Phantom Pendant] that had been eliminated.

It seems that his [Bone Summoning Staff] can be retired from the stage of history.

After leaving the inn, Richard came to the mount shop again, sold the trotting zebra to the other party, and bought a wildebeest from the other party. This mysterious operation immediately made the teller of the mount shop a little confused.

But for the mount shop, it is a great thing to be able to acquire a trotting zebra, of course, it must be accepted at a high price.

Originally, Richard wanted to purchase a lot of alchemical raw materials, but the heavy bag made him give up this idea.

Unfortunately, so far, Richard has not heard of such a thing as a space bag, otherwise it would be much more convenient.

After checking again and confirming that it was correct, Richard turned over and rode the wildebeest, and set off from Andel Market again, and quickly went to Silver Pine Town.

——

Silver Pine Town.

Clavier Castle.

At this time in Silver Pine Town, the young and strong laborers of the entire castle were mobilized. Some were reinforcing the city walls, and some were adding wooden stakes to the gates. The guards in the original Clavier Castle were now preparing for battle with the town security team.

The entire castle was like a war machine, running at full speed, but the enemy this time seemed too powerful.

Knight Rawlins, who was commanding non-stop on the city wall, could not hide his anxiety on his face. You know, just one large monster has caused Silver Pine Town to suffer huge losses.

But looking at the various monsters that emerged from the depths of the Silver Pine Forest in front of him, his heart fell into the abyss!

Although these are small monsters, if there is another large monster, the result will be...

Now, I can only pray for the goddess of luck!

I hope the reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible.

But none of the three cavalrymen I sent to report the news have returned, which has given him a bad premonition.

Because the families of the three cavalrymen were currently in the castle, he had already agreed with them before they set out, regardless of whether Earl Harris sent reinforcements.

As long as one of the three of them was alive, he would definitely come back to report.

Now a whole day has passed, but there has been no news.

At this time, the old baron and his son were accompanying a young man in a gray apprentice robe on the west wall of the castle, observing the tide of monsters.

"Sir Duan, how is your body?" asked the old baron.

"It's okay, just a minor injury. I just took a healing potion, it's not a big problem." This second-level wizard apprentice named Duan was the Ignis School apprentice who accepted the task of Seres half a year ago.

When he accepted the task, he thought it was just an ordinary garrison task, but he didn't expect that when the task was about to expire, he encountered such a thing.

To say that he was not depressed, of course it would be a lie.

After thinking for a while, Duan, with a gloomy face, said: "I'm afraid the castle may not be able to be defended. Lord Baron should make plans early!"

"Is the situation really so bad?" The old baron's brows could not help but wrinkle into a "川" shape.

Duan nodded and said: "Yes, it's probably worse than the worst situation I expected before! If I remember correctly, these monsters should only be monsters in the Underdark, including the large monster at the beginning, which seems to be called the Mutant Crab Monster. Its adult body is more powerful than the average third-level wizard apprentice."

"I don't know why the monsters in the Underdark came to the surface." Duan added after a pause.

"And most importantly, I feel that these monsters are just the vanguard. Normally, monsters attack humans because they are looking for food. But seeing these monsters, they are reluctant to leave here. I feel that there must be someone behind them. But I can't imagine how powerful the power behind this kind of monster is. It requires at least the power of a formal wizard."

Hearing this, everyone was silent. If this is really the case, the whole castle will become hell.

The old baron thought about it and thought about the problem of retreat!

"And facing a large monster like the mutant crab demon, ordinary attacks are basically ineffective except for the heavy arrows shot by the crossbow machine that can pose some threat to it."

"Levi, if the situation is not right, you should immediately take Lord Duan and your mother to the inner castle cellar. There is a small iron door on the third floor of the cellar. Your mother has the key. You should take the children of Silver Pine Town and go through the secret passage. Although the road to Rossby City has been cut off by monsters, it is not certain that you can escape, but at least there is a glimmer of hope."

"Father! Let me go with you." Levi was excited and wanted to express his opinion.

"Don't say it! Don't tell others about this." The old baron's face was serious. He had already lost a son, and he didn't want to lose the second one.

The old baron's tone slowed down, and a pair of rough hands pressed on the eldest son's shoulders, which were already considered burly: "Child, you have grown up, you have to learn to protect your mother, because you are a man, right?"

Looking at the old baron's firm eyes, Levi nodded silently.

He knew that if the castle was breached, his father would definitely die with the castle.

And he was the only hope of the family.

Levi clenched his fists, longing for strength. If his brother Richard was still alive, he should be able to deal with the current predicament after getting the Ignis School's new chief.

Just as Levi was immersed in his reverie, he suddenly saw a group of millstone-sized spider monsters led by the mutant crab demon rushing directly towards the main gate of the castle.

An extremely sudden attack! Immediately, alarm bells rang throughout the castle.

For spider monsters, the defensive effect of the city wall is negligible to them, and the towering city wall is like walking on flat ground for them.

Suddenly, the guards wearing chain mail on the city wall fell into a bitter battle.

These millstone-sized spider monsters move very fast and dodge quickly. The guards' slashes are often easily dodged by them, and the spider monster's sharp blade feet can cause a guard to be seriously injured with a random slash.

The situation is critical!

The tall mutant crab demon is now attacking the castle gate with its huge claws.

"Boom! Boom!"

Every heavy blow was like a thunder, making the guards' hearts rise to their throats, worrying that the gate would be smashed open at any time.

"Quick! Move the heavy crossbows on both sides!" Knight Rawlins shouted.

Facing a large monster like the mutant crab demon, ordinary attacks are basically ineffective except for the heavy arrows shot by the crossbow machine that can still pose some threat to it.

The old baron, Levi and Duan are acting as firefighters at this moment. It is also because of their existence that the entire battlefield situation can be barely maintained.

Just when everyone thought that the monsters' attacks were temporarily resisted, a guard shouted from the back door: "Another crab monster is coming!"

"Another one!" Everyone looked at each other in surprise!

This news made everyone in the battle a little desperate. A large monster, the mutant crab demon, was already making them unable to resist. If another one came, the whole scene would inevitably collapse.

——

Rosby City.

The study room of Earl Harris's castle.

Just as Lord Harris was about to go to meet Daenerys, he saw two people walking in the corridor as soon as he left the study.

One of them was tall and the other short, and they had a strong aura.

The tall man was at least two meters tall, with a burly figure, exuding an aura of keeping strangers away. Lord Harris saw at a glance that the other party's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary knight, and he was estimated to be a great knight.

But the man's brilliance was overshadowed by the petite girl next to him.

The girl was petite, wearing a light blue robe, holding a crystal clear transparent staff in her hand. The transparent staff seemed to be made of a complete icicle, and the staff was coiled with strong ice energy fluctuations. Even if more than ten meters apart, you can clearly feel the chill.

I don't know how this girl can hold the ice in her hand all the time.

The petite girl was Daenerys, and next to her was a griffin knight. There were only a dozen of them in the entire group of knights in the Kingdom of Heron. Each of them was a great knight-level warrior, with well-trained griffin-driving skills.

And this one was Vincent, the griffin knight sent by the royal family to guard Daenerys.

When the two of them got closer, Earl Harris saw the girl's face clearly.

He couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart, Oh my God! What an angelic face!

Her fair skin and a pair of aqua blue eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and her long golden wavy hair was tied into a thick braid, which naturally fell to her back. She always kept a faint smile on her face, her figure was well-proportioned, and she exuded a noble temperament.

Like a goddess who was high above, she fell into the mortal world, but people could not have the heart to blaspheme.

However, what confused Lord Harris was that, according to age, Daenerys should be over 30, but the little girl in front of him looked only in her early 20s.

But he couldn't think of anyone else who could let Vincent guard beside her except Daenerys.

This was the first time Lord Harris had seen Daenerys, but not the first time he had seen Vincent.

"Sir Vincent, this should be Her Highness Daenerys, right?" Lord Harris strode forward, hugged the burly Vincent warmly, and then looked at the girl next to him solemnly.

"Yes, Lord Harris, this is Her Highness Daenerys." Vincent introduced: "Her Highness Daenerys, this is Lord Harris of Rosby County."

Harris immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply to Daenerys. As a hereditary earl, he obviously did not need to be so respectful, but he knew very well that the safety of his Rosby County might depend on this. On a petite girl.

Because, whether it was the opponent's strange staff or the powerful elemental energy fluctuations he faintly felt in the opponent's body, it represented absolutely powerful power.

"Hello, Earl Harris, please introduce the situation first." Daenerys's cold voice sounded, and it seemed that the surrounding temperature had dropped a bit.

This made Harris stunned. Normally, the social interactions between high-ranking nobles were relatively lengthy. When they first met, they would usually greet each other for a long time, and then serve some refreshments and continue chatting for a while. It would take at least half a day before getting down to business.

But this Highness Daenerys is obviously not a person who follows routines.

Harris then thought that it was possible that the rumors he had heard about His Highness before were not false.

There have been rumors in the royal capital that Her Highness Daenerys is not interested in socializing at all, and basically never attends banquets, dances or other activities. Originally, he thought that this was not a good thing for a thirty-year-old royal family. How is this possible for women?

But now it seems that this possibility is still quite high.

"Please follow me, Your Highness Daenerys. The overall situation in Rosby County is quite critical now! Ten of the seventeen towns under its jurisdiction have sent letters asking for help, and three towns have not been contacted. Four The current situation of this town is relatively stable.”

Earl Harris' brain was spinning at full speed, and he immediately organized his words to explain the overall situation of Rosby County being attacked by monsters.

"Among them, three small towns have been severely attacked by monsters. Among them, Tulip Town has completely lost contact with the town. According to the scout report, a large group of spider monsters suddenly appeared there two days ago, cutting off the road."

"The second is Goldsmith Town. The town is also currently completely out of contact. According to the scout report, it was suddenly attacked by a tree-like monster a day and a half ago. The current situation is unknown."

"."

As Earl Harris spoke clearly one by one, a group of three people also came to Earl Harris's study.

On one wall of the study room hangs a relatively detailed map of Rosby County, on which you can clearly see the markings of mountains, rivers, forests, small towns and main roads.

With the map beside her and Earl Harris's clear explanation, Daenerys nodded slightly as she listened, and soon had a basic understanding of the general situation in Rosby County.

Griffon knight Vincent quickly moved a chair over behind the girl.

Daenerys sat down, and her first words made Earl Harris break into a cold sweat: "Then, Earl Harris, what arrangements have you made in this current situation?"

This question seems to represent the dissatisfaction of the royal family.

"This. Your Highness Daenerys, I have spent a lot of money to hire wizard apprentices and demon hunters from various major colleges, and went to various towns yesterday for support. The current situation is that except for these three towns that cannot be contacted and I have dispatched rescue teams to the other four towns reported to be in need of support, a total of seven towns."

Earl Harris paused and then said: "But until now, I have not received any information feedback. In addition, messengers from three more towns have brought letters asking for help, requiring emergency support, but I no longer have any wizard apprentices here. Or a witcher."

"You should know that passing ordinary guards will only increase casualties." Earl Harris spread his hands and said helplessly.

When Harris finished telling the story, he found that Daenerys was looking at the map hanging on the wall in a daze, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a long time, Daenerys pointed to the three small towns on the map, turned to ask Harris, "The first three towns to lose contact were Tulip Town, Goldsmith Town, and Moonling Town, right? ?”

Earl Harris was stunned and nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency Daenerys, your memory is very outstanding."

In fact, when Daenerys heard Count Harris's story, she felt that the outbreak of the monster wave was too sudden and a little abnormal, because a simple monster wave would not block the road.

But judging from the current situation, the cutoff of a road in a small town can be regarded as an accidental event, but when it is the same in three small towns, it is definitely not an accident.

Daenerys already suspected that there should be an invisible hand behind the scenes, controlling these monsters to attack.

But in a short period of time, she still couldn't tell who was behind this?

"Earl Harris, I feel that this is not a simple outbreak of monsters. There may be someone behind it. Vincent and I will go to these three towns to investigate first."

"As you wish! Your Highness!" Seeing Daenerys stand up, the tall Vincent saluted immediately.

"Your Highness Daenerys, you have traveled a long way from the royal capital. Even though you are riding a gryphon, you must be very tired. Why don't you take a rest before going." Harris also expressed his admiration for the vigorous and resolute Daenerys. Face surprised.

"No need for now!" Daenerys waved her hand and took Vincent out of the room.

When Earl Harris accompanied the two people to the empty training ground again.

Two huge griffins, one large and one small, were already waiting in the open space. A group of guards were looking at these two extraordinary creatures in amazement.

Griffins, as the name suggests, look very much like a combination of an eagle and a lion. They are composed of an eagle's head and wings, and a lion's body. The origin of this strange creature is too ancient to be verified.

The larger griffin is more than three meters tall, and the white eagle head and golden body complement each other. This color combination gives people a natural sense of nobility and looks majestic.

Daenerys waved her hand gently, and the griffin lowered its noble head, allowing her to easily climb onto the griffin's back. At the same time, Vincent also rode on the petite griffin.

Gently patting the griffins, the wings of the two giant beasts flapped, and suddenly, a strong wind blew, making it impossible for everyone around to open their eyes.

With a loud eagle cry, the two griffins rushed into the sky like arrows from a string!

Earl Harris stared at Daenerys and Vincent who were leaving quickly, and stopped for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

——

After a while, when Daenerys and Vincent drove the griffin to the first stop, Tulip Town, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The whole town had been destroyed. Looking down from the sky, it was easy to distinguish the path of the monsters. Many monsters seemed to come out of the Silver Pine Forest in the west, breaking through the defense of the town all the way to the east, until they broke through the castle of the local baron.

But strangely, there seemed to be no trace of monsters in the scene in front of them, and the two did not see any trace of the town residents.

"Quick! Go to the next town." Daenerys seemed to have thought of something, turned around and shouted to Vincent.

Immediately, the two drove the griffin at lightning speed and rushed to the next stop, Shining Gold Town.

When the two arrived at Shining Gold Town, the two people in the sky saw a picture that shocked them.

The various monsters that should have been completely disordered were now in order, like an army.

I saw many monsters lined up in a long dragon, slowly disappearing at the edge of the Silver Pine Forest, and there was no one in the town of Shining Gold, only some ruins and scattered human remains.

Most of the bodies seemed to have been taken away by the monsters.

This gave Daenerys a very bad premonition.

"Let's go down and explore!"

Because it was too conspicuous to follow in the air, and there seemed to be a large number of scavenger birds circling the monsters.

So the two found a remote place to jump off the griffin, quietly followed the monster team, and came to a deep crack in the ground.

There were tall broad-leaved trees and low shrubs around the crack, which were very concealed, so the two could not detect it at all when they were in the high air just now.

I saw a lot of human corpses disappearing here.

Although they were dozens of meters away, Daenerys could sense a huge dark energy emanating from the crack.

This dark energy is stronger than her as a formal wizard. At present, it is impossible for her and the griffin knight beside her to kill the enemy surrounded by so many monsters.

Since the investigation of the monster tide in Rosby County was clear, there was indeed a mastermind behind it, so the two decided to return immediately.

On the way back, Daenerys on the griffin fell into deep thought. Judging from the types of monsters, most of them seemed to be extremely rare monsters from the Underdark.

This made Daenerys think of the more sensational event of the three undead wizard schools such as the Ignis School invading the underground world.

Could it be that this monster tide was a counterattack by the night elves against the humans on the surface?

If this monster tide was really caused by this reason, then the three undead wizard schools had an unshirkable responsibility.
