Duke Udolf held the hilt of his waist with one hand. The sword was called "Cutting Throat". This was about two centuries ago, in order to commend Duke Decaine Plin, Golden Falls City, to help him break through the fortress at the pass of the Wind Valley to pacify the northern border, and he personally handed his sword to him. This sword is the "Cutting Throat" in the hands of Duke Udolf.

Legend has it that the "Raging King" Sendal used this sword to kill his two brothers. It is said that while they were sleeping, he used the red sword that the Central Realm merchants paid tribute to the royal family to separate their throats, and then he successfully sat on the throne himself. But in fact, this sword was named "Sliced ​​Throat" when it was handed over to the Duke of Decaine, which means "cutting the throat that leads to the North Realm".

If the legend is true, it is a sword of kinkilling and lord killing. Duke Udolf thought to himself that it was a sword of lord killing that killed two kingdom emperors.

But I don't know if it can kill the dragon. Duke Udolf thought with the hilt of his sword.

The yellow flames jumped in the nearly black blue eyes of Duke Udolf. The outer wall of the inner castle burned yellow flames, and the melted rocks lay down along the city wall like wax, and a stinking smell of sulfur filled the air. The horse was so scared that it turned around when it smelled the smell. After repeated urging, the angry duke turned over and dismounted and killed the timid beast.

The horse's blood splattered on him. He looked at the blood on his gorgeous cloak and armor, and couldn't help but think of himself: I didn't expect that the first blood stain tonight would actually kill his mount. Seeing the duke standing beside the corpse of the war horse, Pavre immediately turned back to urge the mercenaries to advance.

After seeing the burning monster at home spread its wings and jumping down from the same burning city wall, Duke Udolf calmed down. He looked at the inner castle. In fact, this ancient and solid fortress was not bad. Although the yellow flames and melted rocks were terrifying, only the city wall was damaged, and there was only half of the city wall that was trapped in the burning area.

This thing is not something that mercenaries can deal with. Duke Udolf has made a conclusion in his heart. That thing is not something that anyone can deal with. Duke Udolf looks at the dragon with yellow flames burning on his body, and bit the monster's little head in one bite, and then starts to feast on it.

"Duke, someone wants to see you." Pavre said quickly behind Duke Udolf.

The duke turned around and took advantage of the lantern of Captain Pavreguard, the burning inner castle behind him and the torch held by the Iron Chain Knights mercenaries standing not far away, the duke carefully looked at the people brought by Pavre: a Iron Chain Knights mercenary with an exaggerated iron spear head, the duke knew that his name was Brees when he was in the church square, and he was the commander of the Iron Chain Knights mercenaries this time; one of the other two was a tall and strong man, wearing an exotic wallet, and there was no other armor or weapons on his body; the last one was a girl with snow-gray hair, and the duke immediately noticed that she was a blind man.

In an interesting combination, the Duke nodded and looked at the tall and strong man. The strong man's face was quite ugly at this moment, but the Duke disagreed.

"You are the guard next to Ethran," asked the Duke of Udolf.

"Yes, sir." Alev replied respectfully lowered his head, but his rituals were quite stiff. He often followed Ethran to meet some nobles who went to the Stone Fort, so he was forced to learn some etiquette.

The Duke soon discovered the reason for the strong man's gloomy face. Brees, the commander of the Iron Chain Knights on one side, also had a gloomy face, but his expression was more resolute. "You'd better have something important enough to waste my world." The Duke said after looking at the two of them.

"Yes, sir." Brees spoke, straightening his back, like a dedicated guard, "we learned from Alev where the dragon pursued."

The Duke clearly saw the strong man clenched his fists. He knew the rumors about the desolate land of Gladiator Bandonavil. They fought barely in the ring of the Colosseum near the Amber Sea for many years, and even fought with wild beasts. Legend has it that among them there are gladiators who can kill a giant bear with a four-legged foot that is more than six feet tall when they hit the ground with their fists.

The strong man who was not wearing armor and was bare-handed at any time was obviously a gladiator. The duke casually put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and then looked at the strong man: "What he said is true?"

"Sir." At this time, the girl was speaking. The duke's expression fluctuated for the first time. He lowered his head. The girl looked very weak, with no blood on her face, and even the voice of her speech seemed as faint as the wind.

"She is the saint of Lengshi Town, lord." Bris said to the duke in a deep voice.

"Saint?" The duke's expression changed for the second time. The saint is an extremely special existence. As long as the church learns about their existence, they will take them away regardless of everything and "protect" them under their spire. All the saints of the kingdom are concentrated in the capital Androlie, and many of them even have a certain influence on the politics of the kingdom.

But is this girl a saint? The Duke looked at her thin body and a slightly shorter figure. She looked younger than Kadiya, and the Duke thought to himself.

The Duke nodded and said deliberately: "I understand, I will protect this saint for the time being until the church sends the Holy Guards to pick her up."

"Sir!" Brees raised his voice again and said, "This saint is the target of the demon dragon's pursuit!"

The Duke fell silent and looked at the girl.

Then the girl bit her lip as if she felt his sight, then nodded and said, "He was right, sir, it will come to me."

Then Duke Udolf's sword-holding hand pushed a little harder, and he said what Alev had been worried about him.

"Then if that dragon got you, would it be obediently leaving Golden Waterfall City?"

That's right, Alev was worried about this. He told Bris about Hemi, hoping that they could help, but he didn't expect that the guy from the Iron Chain Knights would tell the Duke directly about it. He had no choice but to bring Hemi to meet the Duke. He knew that for such a great nobleman, Hemi, a little girl who had no relatives and no reason with him, let alone a saint, might even betrayed even if his daughter was his daughter. So Alev had been planning how to escape from here since the beginning and went back to take Ethran to leave Jin Falls. After all, he would definitely not be able to hand Hemi to the Duke to die, but if he disobeyed the Duke, then Jin Falls would definitely not be able to stay there.

"No. It won't leave." Hemi replied calmly, "its nest is here."

After Hemi finished speaking, Alev tensed up. He knew that the Duke, Captain of the Guard and Brees were staring at him. As long as he dared to do anything inappropriate, they might draw out their weapons and chop at him. However, Alev was not afraid. He was waiting for the Duke's reply.

The Duke became silent, and he turned to look at the burning inner castle, and the dragon seemed to have almost eaten, and raised his head to look in their direction. The Duke saw the demon dragon's eyes shining like molten gold.

He took his hand away from the hilt of the "throat cut", and Alev breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the Duke immediately ordered: "The mercenary obeyed the order and immediately took the saint away."

"Sir!" Bris looked confused, "Where will you take?"

The duke turned around and walked towards the horse that had already begun to get manic. "Go to find the king of monsters." The duke said lightly, "Let these two monsters fight, if it is still alive, bring the Saint's inner castle again." As he said, he turned over and climbed onto the horse's back, "Captain Guard, go and inform Mdolph and let them cooperate with this battle with all their might."

"Yes!" Pavre lowered his head respectfully. The duke looked at Alev, and the two looked at each other and nodded. Then the duke turned his horse's head. Sure enough, the demon dragon had already begun to walk towards them.

"Get off now!" The Duke whipped the whip, and bypassed the demon dragon from afar, heading towards the inner castle.

"Sir!" Pavre was naturally frightened by the Duke's actions, but he had no choice but to find the horse to catch up with the Duke, and the burning demon dragon had already begun to move towards them.

Alev picked up Hemi, then turned around immediately, and walked in front of Brees with great strides.

...

When Anthony heard someone calling him, he raised his head and then saw two figures squeezing into the room. The wound on his chest had been sewn and the ointment was applied. It was just a matter of saving his life. However, as the effect of the Snow Poison Potion faded, Anthony's wound hurt so much that he was exhausted.

At this moment, he was resting in a small room. Marcus and the others left the dungeon with the extra people and the girls from the Ghost Sword Brigade, leaving only Vader, Feiyu and two other players to protect him closely. After he recovered, he left Black City.

When Anthony saw the two figures approaching and were illuminated by the fire they raised, he showed a look of surprise: "Al? And Aleya?! You two are still alive!"

"I'm very happy to see you still alive..." Alps said as she approached, then squatted down beside Anthony, lifted the half-section armor, Vader and Feiyu stopped talking, and looked at them in surprise. "But we have something more urgent to look for you now!"

"What?" Anthony asked in confusion, then looked at Eléa behind the Alps.

"Joel is being chased by something." said Aleya, gasping.

"What?" Feiyu on the side also stood up after hearing this, "Mr. Joel was chased? Is it a monster? Or the boss? Is it the big bug that can freeze?"

"No, that boss has been killed by him." Alpine's words made several other players stunned, but he did not continue to discuss the topic, "It was something else that chased him."

Anthony looked at the Alps in confusion, then looked at Aleya: "Then you have to tell me what it is?"

"I don't know." Aleya's words made Anthony confused.

"Then what's the use of you looking for me? I can't help you with Joel in my current state." He shook his head with a wry smile, then looked at Vader, "Why don't you go with them?"

"We are not here to get you a reinforcement," said Alps anxiously. "We are trying to ask you what you are chasing Joel."

"How do I know?" Anthony's eyes widened, "Even if you want me to think about it for you, you must at least tell me what that thing looks like!"

"I don't know." Eleya repeated, but this time she continued without waiting for Anthony to answer: "That thing is transparent and cannot be seen at all with the naked eye."

"Not only can't be seen, there is no way to attack it," Alps added.

"Is there such a thing?" asked the player on the side suspiciously, "We are playing 'Adam', right? There should be no such thing as having skills or magic at this level, right?"

However, after hearing their description, Anthony's face immediately became serious. He looked at the two of them and asked again: "So how do you know what's chasing Joel?"

"Joel seems to be able to see that thing," Aleya replied, "He has been turning on a magic similar to acceleration to fight that thing."

"And that thing will appear when it is close to Joel's magic," said Alps in a deep voice. "I have seen its weapons touching Joel's sword."

The room suddenly fell into silence, and Anthony frowned and began to ponder.

"Do you have any impression of something similar when you hear these?" Aleya asked anxiously.

Anthony pointed his chin slightly, but before Alps and Eléa were happy, he closed his eyes and said, "But I have to go to the forum to check the relevant information first."

After saying that, he stopped moving, as if he was asleep. The special skill "contemplation" can allow players to enter the temporary logout state, because the loading and ending time of "Adam" is quite long, and the time flow rate between Adam's world and the reality is very different, so it is very troublesome for players to query what information through the Internet. "contemplation" can allow players to stay in the state of logging in to the game and enter the official forum to query related information.

By the way, the "contemplation" skill is one of the skills that players must obtain. As long as the "spirit" attribute point is added to 11 points (the initial value is obtained as a random roll point), you can automatically obtain "contemplation", so this skill will generally not be counted by the player in the total number of special skills they master.

Seeing Anthony enter "contemplation", both Alps and Aleya exchanged their eyes anxiously.

At this time, Feiyu immediately asked: "So where is Mr. Joel now?"

"I don't know." Alps shook his head and replied, "He's very fast, so we can't keep up."

"But I think he should be planning to leave the dungeon?" Aleiyas said after thinking, "He might throw that thing out of the dungeon and leave here as soon as possible."

"So," Alps looked at Feiyu, "When we came here just now, we met other people. They said that something special happened outside so we should go to support immediately? What exactly happened?"

Feiyu and Vader looked at each other, and then they looked at Anthony. At this moment, Anthony was still in a state of "contemplation", so they told Alps and Aleya about the stone gate and the appearance of dragons in the city, which made the two look surprised.

Just after Feiyu told Alps and Aleya what was happening on their side, Anthony also opened his eyes.

The Alps and Aleya had no time to digest what the flying fish had just told them, so they immediately approached Anthony a few minutes, and then asked anxiously: "Have you found anything?"

"Well..." Anthony's face was calm, and then stood up with the help of the Alps. Then what he said shocked everyone present.

After looking at the Alps, Anthony pursed his lips, then sighed and said, "From the information I have checked, I think Joel was targeted by GM."

Silence. Everyone was silent and looked at each other. In the end, the first person to break the weird silence was Vader: "The gm you said... means that gm, right?"

"game                                                              

"Wait, wait! No?" Aleya was stunned, "But why..."

"It must have been reported." Anthony replied stiffly.

"Report?!" Aleya looked at the others incomprehensible.

However, the reaction of others did not think of her. Even the Alps seemed to suddenly realize something and remembered: "Is it the one reported at that time?!"

"When?" Aleya seemed to remember the rumors she had heard in Golden Falls before, "You are the cheater who singled out bosses in the city?! That's talking about Joel?!"

"It's true that there's a possibility, and it's very likely." Anthony admitted, "his performance is indeed like a plug-in."

"But... did Mr. Joel really cheat?" Feiyu asked with a confused look on the side.

"No." Alps and Aleya said in unison, and then they also subconsciously looked at each other. Because they both knew Joel's true identity, they both knew that Joel was not a real "player".

"But if he didn't cheat, why would GM target him?" Vader's question made both Alps and Eléa silent.

Anthony also interrupted at this time: "According to what you said, GM is not invincible. If you are not angry, Joel cannot escape from him. In short, let's leave here first. You can't do anything here. Let's make plans after you go out."

After saying that, Anthony took the lead in walking towards the exit of the room.
