Age of Adepts
Chapter 218 Rose Manor
Lanqiu City.
The massive gathering of demon hunter knights has also made this a bustling military camp.
Knowing that his strength was difficult to contend with the Hound Knights, Count Winrill, the owner of Blue Hill City, gave way to the city's main house, moved into a rose estate outside the city, and lived a life of invisibility.
However, out of admiration for the Hound Knights, he hosted a number of salon dances in the estate at three-and-a-half degrees apart, inviting those young knights to attend with great enthusiasm. In order to attract these young knights, Count Winrill even brought in the most prestigious chefs from Hedulan City, and also invited the many noble ladies and beautiful women of Blue Hill City to dance with the Sun Inge Swallow to enjoy a luxurious and happy life.
Enjoying food and wine, clustering with delicate women, listening to the praise of the rich and powerful knights who have just experienced the bloody battle of the jungle, as if to discover once again the significance of life, completely sinking into the joyful life of drunkenness and death.
And Duke is one of them!
Born of a small aristocratic family, he had a great dream of riding a demon and walking away with a sword. His father, a small country baron, sold the only small estate and sent him to a training camp for trainee hunter knights.
And he was also angry enough, lucky enough, not only became a demon hunter successfully, but also unexpectedly promoted to the rank of breaking law knight after fifteen years of hard practice.
He soon became the pride of the entire family and the famous local Knight of the Hunter.
Numerous successes in hanging evil men have made him a staunch defender of the Order of the Hound Knight and a devout believer in the great Holy Knight, Lord Willis. So when the new evil war broke out, he came here with his partner and joined the last Knights of the Hunters.
A brutal bloody jungle bloody battle made him see the evil sorcerer's horror for the first time. Whenever I think of the evil witch beast that came out of the dark jungle like a tide, and the poor partner who mutated into an ugly corpse eater, his heart dripped with blood and his soul trembled!
On his first nights back from the jungle, he woke up every day from horrible nightmares, sweating cold and depressed. And the knights who returned with him almost all had the same sequelae as him.
It is with this in mind that, when Count Weanlir held a banquet and invited the knights to join him, the senior members of the Order who heard the news did not stop him, but rather sent this traumatized group of knights with joy.
Knight beliefs that have been defeated may compensate for alcoholic foods, battlefield failures, and may win the boys back from their beds.
The spacious and bright banquet hall is filled with joyful handsome men and women, and even the elderly are dressed in a truly stylish way.
Most beautiful women wear gorgeous low-chest gowns, revealing deep grooves on their snowy backs and chests, while men wear gorgeous noble gowns or slippery hunting outfits, occasionally laughing out loud in high-footed glasses or inviting women to dance.
A male waiter in a pencil and uniform pushes a silver dining car to place fine food on a long table with a sky blue cloth, which is available to others with a certain identity and status. On the table are brass candlesticks, tin cutlery and horn cups with silver rings.
And a beautiful maid with a smile travels between the guests with a silver plate and a glass of wine from the water rack goes to the guests with a drink.
At the edge of the hall, there's a small band playing hard. From time to time, there is also an improvisational song by some bards or dancers, which increasingly ignites the atmosphere in the ballroom.
Just outside the ballroom hall is an elegant and quiet corridor, flower hall, cold shed, fountain and lawn, and a grasshopper is where the lovers of both sexes talk.
Behind the banquet hall is a small, specially decorated bedroom with luxurious beauty and, more importantly, top-notch sound insulation!
Yet, during this joyous time of red wine and greenery, a few dark shadows are secretly gathering in a secret cellar around the corner of the estate to discuss what's going on.
“Has the target been selected? My lord is tired of waiting! ”
“Please return to the Lord, the target has been selected, a total of 3 broken knights. Tonight we will find a way to keep them here, then..."
“You must be careful. It's not easy to ambush you. The Lord doesn't want you to be exposed prematurely, so be very careful and arrange things carefully! ”
“Yes, Lord Condor, don't worry! ”
“Mmm!”
A few dark shadows chirped and muttered a few words and soon broke up and ran away.
One of them suddenly turned into a plush black shadow, whispering its wings quickly through the shadows of many of the estate's buildings. Soon it arrived at a beautiful single-family, two-story small building behind the estate.
Through a vent reserved at the corner, the shadow penetrated the house and then swung into a master bedroom, transforming itself into a sophisticated nightgown with a slightly bald elderly nobleman over his head.
As he gently pulled a special fleece around the corner, two doors were opened on the side of the master bedroom, a group of gorgeous maids quickly walked in and switched their hands and feet on a gorgeous dress for the elderly nobleman. And the butler in the tuxedo also stood by respectfully, waiting silently for the Count's command.
“Are all the guests here?” The elderly nobleman raised his arms and let the maid tidy his clothes for him, asking softly in a noble tone full of nostrils.
“It's all here! Especially the ones you specifically ordered, I've sent someone to take special care of them!” The butler hurried forward and replied softly.
“Where is Duke now? ”
“I was in the front hall half an hour ago talking to the president of the Wade Chamber of Commerce, and now I'm happy to talk to the Sheila sisters at the vines in the flower hall! ”
“Where's Ballard? ”
“A minute ago I was in the front hall dancing with Mrs. Chevrolet, and now... it's in Room 7! ”
“Where's Drisek? ”
“He has been drinking with Knights Tomad and Raul in the hallway and is said to have drunk six bottles of wine spirits. I've had another 5 bottles delivered! ”
“Hmm! You're doing great.” The elderly nobleman nodded with satisfaction.
The respectful housekeeper suddenly grabbed the old man as he was about to step into the front hall.
“Master, do you have a message for me? ”
“Oh, what news?” The aristocratic old man asked surprisingly.
“Lord Collier is here? ”
“Collier? You mean the glorious knight Collier?” The elderly nobleman suddenly asked in surprise. Then he lowered his head and smiled, no longer hesitating to make the big step.
Since even the Knight of Glory has arrived, his master has reason not to appear!
A moment later, the banquet attendant shouted out the door.
“Lord Count of Winrill is here! …… ”
…………
Countless shadows are shaking, countless witches are howling...
In the bright light of the swinging torch, the crowd ran fast and breathed violently.
The bright red clouds of fire rolled over the sky, and a meteorite wrapped in hot flames fell in a whistle, each falling accompanied by a fierce roar and a bright blind light. Immediately afterwards, the jungle shivered in Cesar.
Whenever this happens, even Duke can't bear to shake with the jungle.
Because what follows are terrible flame shockwaves and heavenly covered tree debris and dirt slag.
Those meteorites that have been blown up in the sky will turn into flames and rain, wrapping the entire jungle around them. And the only thing Duke can do is try to hold up the energy shield, use it to shield the rain from the fire. In a wave of mountains, he runs hard, he runs hard...
All of a sudden... an ugly, vomiting, tragic white monster suddenly came out of the bushes on the side of the road, a knight of the hunter who jumped in front of Duke, and then chewed on his mouth.
When Duke shook his hands and raised the Ruwen sword, the ogre suddenly looked up at him, one squatted and jumped high, pounding fiercely at him.
Watching that horrible fang sharply magnify in front of him, Duke woke up screaming from the nightmare, one hand sitting out of bed. In bed The two lovely women who had crossed the body muttered twice and fell asleep while turning over.
Duke wiped out the cold sweat on his forehead and looked around the house, which woke him up no longer in that dreadful battlefield, but in a gentle nest. Thinking about the madness and lust of the first half of the night, Duke had to smile and look up to lie back in the arms of the beauty.
But somehow, somehow, he always felt like something dangerous was lurking in him. But even his divinity and sensitivity to danger have been reduced to a minimum after a delightful wine beauty enjoys herself.
At a time when he was confused and wondered where the unnamed palpitations came from, the darkness of the house suddenly lit up two dots of red. The red light appeared suddenly, almost unconsciously, in front of him and instantly attracted his attention.
Somehow, when Duke's eyes fell on the red light, his mind could no longer change. Despite the slightest discomfort in his heart, his will, weakened by repeated means, has become difficult to resist the Red Flame invasion.
Duke's face revealed a painful struggle, but his eyes could not be removed from the red light. Even with the appearance of strange fluctuations in the red mantle, the deeper his spirit gets, the calmer his face becomes.
Finally, he became completely silent!
“Well, Bloody Girl, I've got this guy under control! It's up to you.” In the darkness, a delicate and sweet woman's voice sounded.
“Well, thank you, Mirage Lord. When you get back, I'll make sure you have what you specify. Two more, please!” Mary's voice also sounds in the dark.
The shirt rang softly, and the woman, the Phantom Wizard, left this room and left Mary with a pathetic prey whose mind and mind had been enchanted by illusion.
For a long time, Mary had held only one approved witch-class vampire in Blue Hill City, but had never successfully tested a powerful hunter knight, not to mention a broken knight with more spiritual will and magical resistance.
So, taking advantage of this great opportunity, Mary paid a huge price to invite the phantoms to open the hearts and minds of these broken knights and shake their faith. So that even if Mary first embraced them and failed, under the cover of illusion, these broken knights would only think of this as a new nightmare, and would not easily reveal the secrets inside the Rose Manor.
In the dark, Mary approached Duke with a gentle cold smile!
