Sword Sorcery - Chapter 17

[Chapter 17 Report]

When Aaron and Bruce came to the bottom of the castle, the soldiers on duty on the city wall also recognized Aaron and asked loudly in surprise, “Aaron? Why are you back?”

Because he once had a prospective knight adoptive father who was the captain, Aaron was a relatively well-known person in the circle of soldiers with a total of more than 200 people, and many ordinary soldiers knew him.

On the contrary, Bruce, because of his low-key behavior, has not exposed the strength of the quasi-knight, and he is far less known than Aaron.

“The village was attacked!” Bruce shouted in response first: “Call Lord Butler Luke over, we have very urgent information to report to Lord Viscount!”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then saw the traces of blood on the two of them with the help of the firelight.

Luke is said to be a comrade-in-arms who fought with Viscount Steve in the Battle of Dawn.

After the war, because Luke’s record was not enough to divide the land, he only got a nominal baron title, so he simply defected to Viscount Steve and became a big housekeeper in the Viscount Castle.

(Baron is the lowest title in the nobility, often as a purely honorary title and has nothing to do with the actual fief.)

Although Luke is only a housekeeper in name, he is Viscount Steve’s life and death comrade-in-arms and has won the Viscount’s trust. In addition, Luke is also an official knight – with Viscount Steve, the first brigade The captains are the three official knights in the territory.

Therefore, Butler Luke’s status in the castle is extremely high. It can be said that it is ‘under one person, above a thousand people’, even if Viscount Steve’s only beloved daughter, Angelique Leo, sees Butler Luke, Also have to be called ‘Uncle Luke’.

On weekdays, Luke would sleep in the fortress house not far from the city wall passage at night. There were beds and other furniture in the fortress, but it was no different from ordinary rooms.

(The aisle of the city wall is also commonly known as ‘Bing Road’, which is the flat ground above the city wall, which is provided for soldiers to walk and defend the city.)

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the soldiers leaving. It seemed that the castle was not attacked by the enemy scouts as expected.

And he and Bruce were obviously the first soldiers to escape. As for the soldiers stationed in other villages, maybe they were still at war with the invading enemy, or maybe they had already been wiped out.

Fortunately, the village where I am stationed is not far from the castle. If I had been assigned to the most remote village to be stationed, I am afraid that on the way back, I will be found and killed by the scout troops who invaded other villages along the way!

“Fortunately, as long as we return to the castle, we will be temporarily safe.”

Aaron rejoiced inwardly.

Soon, the soldiers on the city wall invited the butler Luke, who had an expression of anger on his face. No matter who was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, if someone suddenly woke up from his sleep, it would be like this. The expression of bitterness and hatred.

Luke appeared to be a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties, with jet-black short thorn hair, a medium-looking uncle’s face, and bronze-colored skin all over his body.

However, when Butler Luke saw the bloodstains on Aaron and Bruce clearly, his expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, “What happened? What happened to the bloodstains on your bodies?”

“Lord Luke, we were attacked!” Aaron replied first: “And it’s not just our village that was attacked. In addition, this attack is not as simple as an enemy invasion. As for the details, it is about It’s important, can we go in and talk to you now? Besides, we need to report the situation to the Viscount!”

Butler Luke thought for a moment, waved his hand confidently, and asked his soldiers to open the city gate.

Let Aaron and Bruce come in, anyway, Luke is an official knight himself, and he is not afraid of any storms that the two of them will make.

Soon, Aaron and Bruce, led by the soldiers, walked in front of Luke’s butler and got close, and Aaron quietly scanned the chip–

“Object: Luke, Strength: 5.4 Agility: 5.1 Constitution: 5.1 Strength Stage: Full Knight”

Aaron’s eyes froze. Although he was already prepared for the strength of the official knight, he couldn’t help but feel cold when he really learned the data of the official knight. The feeling that his own destiny seems to be out of his control came again. ——

The official knight in front of him is quite strong, so strong that he can kill him anytime and anywhere, and he will definitely not be able to last three rounds under his hands!

This is the feeling I have in the dark, as if facing a premonition of a terrifying natural enemy!

Fortunately, Butler Luke won’t shoot himself, but at the same time, Aaron’s inner desire for more power can’t help but become stronger-I must become an official knight in order to receive In the situation that comes down, firmly grasp your own destiny!

“Now, can you talk about it? What the hell happened in the village?”

Luke swung back the soldiers guarding next to him, leaving only himself, Aaron, and Bruce, and asked confidently.

This is the full confidence of a formal knight in his own strength. Even if Aaron and Bruce are quasi knights, they cannot threaten his life, let alone cause a storm.

Aaron took a deep breath and said, “We encountered a surprise attack from Earl Bell’s leading troops. In addition, George in the team also betrayed us and cooperated with them to besiege…”

Aaron told Luke exactly what happened, but omitted the specific battle process, and did not describe in detail his reversal of the situation that he cut two soldiers first, and then killed three soldiers with one sword, but blurred it as- -He and Bruce worked together to kill most of the soldiers, and other teammates were killed in the process.

In addition, Aaron also concealed the news that he had broken through to a quasi-knight within a few days, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com and explained that he had secretly broken through to a quasi-knight.

However, since his goal was to become a captain, he concealed his true strength, and even gave people a slap in the bar last week for this.

Because the entire City Guard has only so many people, there are more than 200 people in a total of 8 battalions. Even if you become a quasi-knight, there will be no battalion leader position for you immediately.

If he exposes the news of his promotion to a prospective knight too early, he will definitely be suppressed by the captain of his own brigade, lest this newly promoted prospective knight rob him of his position.

Where there are people, there will be disputes of interests, even in a small circle like the City Guard.

To be precise, in fact, Bruce is also hiding his strength for this reason-obviously, Bruce is also an ambitious soldier.

This reason seems to be a bit far-fetched, but Luke didn’t go into detail, probably considering that Bruce’s parents are servants in the castle, and the possibility of early mutiny is extremely low, so he just left a sentence:

“Come with me and meet Steve together.”

Under the curious gazes of the guards along the way, the three came directly to the third floor of the castle accommodation area, standing in front of Viscount Steve’s study, Luke knocked gently on the door——

duh duh~!

“Lord Viscount, we have something very important to report~!”

“Please come in.”

Viscount Steve’s voice came from behind the door, Luke pushed the door open, and Aaron and Bruce followed closely, but Aaron’s pupils shrank imperceptibly immediately—

“Steve, Strength: 6.1 Agility: 5.9 Constitution: 6.0”

The scan result of chip zero was clearly displayed in front of Aaron!
