"Is there something going on, sir?" At this time, Geraint, who had been patrolling outside the palace, also rushed to Byron's side.
"Yes, did you notice the dark shadow just now?" Byron asked.
"My lord, it is not easy for this guy to escape the eyes of the royal guards." Geraint said with a smile.
"No matter how cunning the fox is, he can't escape the eyes of the hunter after all." Byron said, "His Majesty is hosting the ministers for a dinner. Don't let such small things disturb everyone. Let's go! Let's go see what Lana finds.
"After that, Byron and Geraint walked out of the palace gate together.
Not long after they walked out of the door, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in front of Byron and the others.
"Hey, Lana, and Kevin? The adults are looking for you!" Geraint shouted to the two of them.
"Lord Byron, did you also notice that there was a flash of darkness just now?" Lana asked Byron.
As the leader of the priestly force of the Golden Dragon Knights, Lana, known as the Saint of Compassion, is particularly sensitive to the dark atmosphere. In accordance with Byron's request, she cast perception magic inside and outside the palace. Once there is an abnormal situation inside or outside the palace, she can
She sensed it immediately. Lana sensed an embarrassing incident where Byron fell asleep drunk in the palace garden. This was also the reason why Byron stopped drinking.
"Yes, when we were patrolling just now, we discovered a strange black shadow, but it disappeared quickly." Byron said.
"Oh, Lord Byron, you are a little different today than usual!" Lana said suddenly, "It seems that you drank some wine. Is this what I sensed?"
"Lana, stop joking, hurry up and find the danger you feel!" Kevin said from the side.
Kevin is a chaplain of the Golden Dragon Knights. He has powerful healing skills that can restore everyone's physical strength and the ability to dispel dark magic. Because Lana felt the aura of darkness, he was dragged over by Lana.
"You mean to say that this danger is still in the palace?" Geraint asked, "How did it slip under the eyes of so many of our guards?"
"I don't think it came from outside." Lana put away her smile and said seriously, "but it came directly from inside the palace. I sensed that an evil aura was beginning to envelope this place."
"How is it possible? Hasn't darkness disappeared for hundreds of years? How can there be a breath of darkness within the Holy Light Barrier? And it comes from inside the palace?" Geraint was very confused.
"Geraint, I believe in Lana's induction." Byron said, "Let's go back to the palace together."
Everyone returned to the inner courtyard of the palace together, and Lana used her magic to detect darkness: "Great goddess of light, please help me shine to every corner of the world, so that darkness and evil cannot escape."
"How did you react?" Geraint asked.
"Follow me, that guy is not very far away from us, my magic is enough to feel his location." After saying that, Lana waved to everyone to follow her.
At the same time, in the hall of the royal palace, the dinner for the 20th anniversary of the king's accession to the throne was still going on happily. Everyone tasted fine wines and delicacies and chatted with each other amidst the sweet palace music. As for the knights, Schroeder was there
Desperately eating the delicacies placed in front of him, sipping the fine wine that was specially set for the banquet tonight and has been treasured by the king, he was bragging about his bravery from time to time. Roger responded to Schroeder's words from time to time.
He said a few words and joked with the people around him, but the occasional frown indicated that he seemed to have discovered something. Bai Ao remained unsmiling as always, holding the wine glass and slowly tasting the fine wine inside. Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and then he became indifferent again.
He continued to drink, with a touch of disdain on the corner of his mouth. Parsa was still so gloomy and unwilling to say more to others, but it was obvious that he looked uncomfortable.
"Hey, Parsa, what's going on with you today? Just drink some wine. Let's be happy. Don't always act like everyone owes you money." Roger suddenly threw a chicken drumstick to Parsa.
On the table of Jesus, Parsa was surprised.
"Roger, please stay out of my business. I am a magician. Different from muscle men like you, I must pay attention to moderation. Whether it is food, alcohol or women." Parsa calmed himself down.
Emotions, said to Roger.
"Haha, how boring that kind of life is! Look how happy our Miranda and I are. We even go sailing together from time to time and enjoy a wonderful life." Roger laughed.
"Oh, damn, I always feel like something bad is going to happen tonight." Looking at the food on the plate in front of him, which was being smashed in all directions by the chicken drumsticks thrown by Roger, Parsa said
I muttered in my heart.
On the other side, Byron and others, led by Lana, came to the garden of the palace.
"Lana, this is a garden. Look at this beautiful night and the beautiful scenery. What makes you feel that the danger comes from here?" Geraint smiled.
"No, I feel that the threat is nearby, and I am starting to feel uneasy because of our arrival." Lana said seriously.
"Then let me try it!" Kevin shook his head, "I'll cast the Holy Light spell to see where the danger is. Any dark creature will be hurt by it."
After that, Kevin began to pray, raised his staff and cast Holy Light in the middle of the garden.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in a bush.
"Haha, the kids finally came out to play." Geraint said, quickly rushing towards the bushes.
"Geraint, you have to be careful, don't be careless." Lana shouted.
When Geraint rushed to the bush and was about to use the sword in his hand to open the bush to see what was hidden inside, the object in the bush suddenly rushed out and attacked Geraint.
"Weird, this is not an easy guy to deal with." Geraint shouted while hiding.
As the first knight under Byron of the Golden Dragon Knights, Geraint was very skilled after all. Even if he was not riding on a war horse, he still had good reflexes and dodged the monster's attack immediately.
"This monster has just been injured by my magic, and is now in a state of pain and anger. Geraint, you must be careful." Kevin shouted to Geraint.
This monster has a body similar to that of a wild wolf, with black skin. The most terrifying thing is that on its neck, there are three heads that look like vicious dogs. Its six blood-red eyes stared at Geraint fiercely, and his mouth revealed
Sharp fangs, drool dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"Is this the legendary three-headed hellhound? How come it appears in the inner courtyard of the palace?" Kevin said to himself, "But judging from its size, it should not be fully grown yet."
Geraint didn't hear clearly what Kevin was saying, and was concentrating on dealing with the enemy in front of him. Because the Cerberus was hit by the Holy Light spell, black smoke was coming out from all three heads, and it was showing a very painful state. It seemed
It was as if he had to bite the prey in front of him severely to vent the anger in his heart.
After all, Geraint was powerful. Facing the attack of the three-headed Cerberus cubs, he was not timid at all and quickly found a flaw. After dodging three rounds of Cerberus attacks, he pierced the Cerberus's front with a sword.
Breast. This monster that was so fierce just now fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
"Geraint, what have I always warned you?" Byron walked up to Geraint at this time, stared at the hellhound lying on the ground, and then cut off its three heads with a sword, "Don't do it because of
If the enemy falls and relaxes, as long as the enemy has not breathed his last, he may struggle to the death, and then teach you a painful lesson."
"You have taught me a lesson, Lord Byron." Geraint shrugged and said.
"Why would such a monster appear in the inner courtyard of the palace, and in the king's back garden?" Lana was very confused.
"To be honest, this is also the first time I have seen the true form of Cerberus. I originally thought they would only appear in books." Kevin said.
"Generally speaking, only dark magic can summon such monsters. The person who has the most knowledge about magic in the kingdom should be Mr. Parsa." Lana said, "Maybe we can ask his opinion. As the chief minister of the kingdom,
