Chapter 194 Enrique's Story
The black armored knight turned his head and glanced over there, quickly retracting his gaze. He nodded at Lancelo, as if he said goodbye. A vertical silver thin line appeared behind him, and then the black armored knight was suddenly pulled out, as if the end of the silver line was a fishing rod in the giant's hand. Lancelo had no time to make any stop.
The remaining werewolf in the room seemed to wake up from a dream, and suddenly stood there in a daze, but the human-shaped beetle demons couldn't control so many, and quickly subdued them all. Even Lancelo's friends had to put down their weapons and stood aside obediently.
"We heard that guests who checked in Lazaka's Tears don't have to worry about safety." Lancelo looked at Pacos walking towards him, "but it seems that our experience is not."
"Is that true? I have never promoted it like this before." The halfling was still dressed in the attire of a hotel owner and did not hold a weapon in his hand.
"But we were indeed attacked in your room."
"It was my hotel that was attacked." The half-ling kicked a corpse lying on the ground and looked upwards, looking down at the decoration and tattoos of the dog-headed man. "The parasites in the Beggar Abyss... For the sake of you helping me to repel the invaders, I don't want you to compensate the broken furniture."
Lancelo shrugged, what else could he expect from a hotel in the abyss?
At this time, the insect-like Mezelos demons had completed the arrest and began to retreat from the room. Dozens of werewolves were tied up and hung on the spikes on their shells.
"Where are these gnolls going?"
"Accept to torture, torture, interrogation, and if nothing unexpected happens, one or two will be skinned. After the guards have played enough, they will be allowed to explain the cause of the attack, the instructor behind them, and then sent to the slave fence, and I will receive a tiny amount of compensation." Pacos stood up from the ground, glanced at the dense corpses piled up by Lancelo, and raised his eyebrows at him, "I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting, and I should reconsider your proposal."
"Our proposal?" Lancelo asked with some surprise. At this time, others came in, the guards under Pacos, their quick transporters of the bodies on the ground, and the broken furniture.
"When you have packed it up, go downstairs for breakfast first, and then go to the innermost office on the second floor to find me." Pacos followed his employees out, "About the thing you are anxious to find."
"What did he say?" Without the short walls of corpses and the imposing human-shaped beetles, Bruto finally stood beside Lancelo.
"What else can it be? I want us to help find the lost artifact." Karalin and the others also came over. "I just refused our help last night. It seems that Lancelo's strength has changed his mind."
"Everyone played well just now." Lancelo nodded to everyone, "especially Little Isa, she defeated her first enemy. You have proved that you are a trustworthy partner and did a good job."
Warm applause sounded, and everyone sent sincere congratulations to Xiao Isha, which made her shyly lower her head and stammered:
"I, I, I will definitely work hard in the future!"
After saying that, he turned into a little bat and hid directly in Lancelo's dimensional bag.
"Every girl is from a thin-skinned family." Lancelo said happily, feeling like his servant was officially enthroned as a knight.
"What are these gnolls?" Bruto, who was standing beside him, pulled the topic back, "Why are we targeted? There is also the black-armored knight, who is too strong. This is the first time I have seen my elder brother suffer two great losses in a row in battle."
"How could I do!" Lancelo protested dissatisfiedly, "It's obvious that there is no distinction between the two, okay!"
"I'm afraid that guy came to me." Elotishiya, who had been silent, spoke, "I know who he is, a killer under my former master."
"Do you know him?" Lancelo was surprised this time, "What is his name?"
"His name is Enrique, if I remember correctly." Elotishiya sighed. "His story is a complete tragedy. He was once a paladin, just like me, and was regarded as the greatest hero in his kingdom, repelling the invasions of neighboring countries again and again."
"Isn't that good?" Bruto scratched his head, "How could he become like this now?"
"With Enrique's reputation, his king found that he could invade other countries at will, which shocked and tired. He was unwilling to be used by his king in this way, so he resigned from his military post and took his wife and children to the forest to live in seclusion." The tone of the succubus paladin began to turn into pain, "But one day when he returned from hunting, he found that his loved one was lying in a pool of blood, with a dagger with the sign of the neighboring royal family in his heart."
"What then?" Alamil asked curiously, "he was blinded by revenge and spread his anger to the innocent civilians of his neighbor?"
"Darker than that." The Succubus Saint shook his head, "The king soon sent a representative to invite him to be commander in the upcoming war of conquest against the lord, which instead aroused his suspicion. After some investigation, the truth quickly emerged - the dagger that killed his wife and children did come from the neighboring royal family, but was given to his king as a gift of peace. The so-called murder was just a scene to get him out of the mountain."
"Uh." Bruto glanced at Lancelo, "Brother, I'm not targeting you. You humans have indeed done such a thing."
Lancelo didn't say anything, thinking of a man with blonde hair and golden griffin tattooed on his cloak.
"What about later?" Coula asked anxiously, "Have he confronted his king?"
"He went, but he knew what made him even more desperate." Elotishia sighed again, "This murder was approved by the entire citizen council. The people he had tried his best to protect were sentenced to death for the benefit that the war of aggression could bring. They even prepared several beautiful beauties in advance, and prepared to rely on these beauties to calm his anger if Enrique discovered the truth."
"I guess those beauties are completely useless." Karalin commented.
