Volume 7 Coral Chapter 629: Surprising Discovery
With a plop.
Kelu's body fell down.
The four knights finally came to their senses.
"Neil Lucius! You damned bastard!"
"Catch him!"
"We must inform Lord Baron Miller about this as soon as possible!"
They shouted loudly a few times, and then simultaneously drew the cross swords at their waists. They rushed over wearing fully armed metal armor and oval helmets as big as steel eggs.
Neil grinned.
He dropped the scythe in his hand with a clang. This thing couldn't cut through the knight's armor at all. Only Kelu, who was wearing leather armor, was beheaded by his sneak attack. In the next battle, he still had to use regular weapons.
So he picked up Kelu's sword immediately, drew it out, and faced the four knights head-on.
It's hard to describe this battle.
Nearly a hundred militiamen who were watching were all stunned, from the moment Young Master Kelu was beheaded to the moment the "mute" boy took on the four lord knights.
They all just stood there in a daze.
I didn't dare to step forward to help, nor did I dare to leave rashly.
The crowd exclaimed continuously and stared at the dazzling fight.
The four knights' sword skills are very sophisticated. At the same time, even though they are wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms, their bodies do not appear clumsy. They draw their swords, move around, and even use knee kicks and elbow strikes, displaying various combat techniques, which is quite amazing.
But Neil's performance was even more beyond their expectations.
Originally, they thought that this little guy just took advantage of the opportunity of a sneak attack to kill Master Kelu, who had just become a knight and was unprepared. If the four knights of our side attacked together, they should be able to capture him without any effort.
But they didn’t expect that as soon as the fight started, the faces of the four men changed drastically!
This young man is so powerful!
Neil was seen holding the cross sword tightly, and accurately using the tip and body of the sword to pick or deflect the attacking sword, making crisp collision sounds and sparks, but in fact he had already diverted the force.
His posture was strange and twisted, sometimes bending over, sometimes leaning back, and the hand holding the sword was swinging in a winding way...
At first glance, he wasn't fighting for his life.
But dancing!
A weird, bizarre and murderous dance!
bass!
A clear sound.
The cross sword in Neil's hand trembled several times in succession, blocking a knight's sword, and then jumped out quickly like a hunting poisonous snake, hitting the man's throat.
The sharp tip of the sword easily pierced the chain mail neck guard, piercing his neck!
“Uh…”
The knight's sword fell to the ground with a clang.
He covered the bleeding wound on his neck and fell down.
The other three knights felt a chill running up their heads from their hearts!
Neil Lucius...
This little guy lives under their eyes every day, and no one knows better than them what an ordinary boy he is.
Neil, who had a hard time swinging a sword during normal practice and could even be easily defeated by Master Fok, was now able to compete with these knights who had experienced fighting on the battlefield.
No, to be precise, he was outnumbered four by one and suppressed them!
"You are not Neil Lucius!"
"His thumb should have been chopped off by Lord Baron Miller!"
"Devil! He must have made a deal with the devil to gain the power of fire. This is clearly the 'Dance of Fire' that only church priests possess!"
The knights' voices came out excitedly from under their helmets.
Neil's face was twisted and hideous, his eyes were filled with the pleasure and excitement of revenge. He simply stopped pretending and said in a deep voice:
"I have endured humiliation for two years just for this day... Everyone in the Dutt family, and you accomplices, must die!"
Ding ding ding!!
He used all his sword skills to block the long sword, then rushed into the arms of a knight with swift steps and knocked him away with a standard shoulder kick.
The cross sword in his hand followed closely and slashed across his neck.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Neil never looked at the knight again and started his dance of killing towards the remaining two knights.
The ending was no surprise.
The two knights were in disbelief as Neil pierced their throats with his cross sword and was killed.
Soon, Neil turned around, holding a bloody cross sword, with the bodies of Kelu and four knights lying at his feet, and looked at the militiamen coldly.
"Lord Neil!"
"I beg Lord Neil to forgive me!"
"We were forced to do this. After Lord Birch died in battle, the lords of our villages and even the Knight Territory did not actually succumb to that despicable fellow, Millerdut..."
"Now that you have killed Korudut, we are willing to serve you. Only you are qualified to inherit the Black Horn Territory!"
The militiamen dropped their farm tools and weapons and knelt down to salute the young man.
Their faces were filled with awe, and a few of them even showed expressions of joy and anticipation...
These people have lived in Blackhorn Territory for generations and have feelings for the original lord Lucius and his family. They previously submitted to Baron Miller but were forced by the situation. Now that Neil is the only surviving bloodline and has enough strength, most of the militiamen are willing to join him.
"Thanks."
Neil said calmly with a blank expression.
He took a deep breath.
He raised his finger and pointed at a few familiar-looking militiamen, temporarily appointed them as captains, and ordered them to lead the team into the main building of the castle and bring out Dutt's family.
"Yes, Master Neil!"
Four or five relatively strong men picked up their axes and machetes again, shouted, and rushed towards the main building of Black Horn Castle with a large number of militiamen.
The main building's door was tightly closed; it was obvious that the battle just now had already attracted the attention of those inside.
Some of the guards did not dare to resist at all. They quickly dropped their weapons and crawled on the ground. They were tied up and controlled by the militia.
The door was kicked open and bursts of women's screams were heard from inside.
Neil just sneered and looked away.
He turned around, bent down and groped for Kelu's headless corpse, found a silver lion head token, and deftly stripped off his leather armor and put it on himself.
Compared to the fully enclosed knight armor, Neil prefers lighter leather armor, which is more conducive to his swordsmanship.
He then searched the remaining four knights for spoils.
A complete set of knight armor, helmet and cross sword are all very valuable and rare strategic materials. Often, such a set of knight equipment is equivalent to the income of hundreds of farmers from a year's hard work.
If a territory could gather twenty sets of such equipment, it would be considered extremely wealthy.
Click!
There was a crisp snapping sound.
Neil took off a knight's helmet and looked at the man with wide eyes and a distorted expression. He recognized that the man's name was Kurus, whom he called "Uncle Straw" when he was a child.
He moved the corpse's head.
The fingers suddenly froze.
At this moment, Chen Lun, who was possessed by Neil's body, also discovered something extremely incredible -
"Huh? What is this?!"
Chen Lun's perception, along with Neil's sight, was focused behind the corpse's ear, where there was a thin, rectangular black indentation and a perfect circular indentation below.
Neil looked at the "wound" with confusion, unable to understand what it was.
But Chen Lun was so familiar with it that it couldn't be more familiar -
Data interface!
This is clearly the "Azure 1.0 Protocol Data Interface" that became popular in the past life in 2070 AD and that every newborn must be equipped with!
"It can't be wrong... Even the black dots next to the input port are exactly the same. This is definitely a data port, but why?"
Chen Lun was quite shocked.
He immediately asked Neil to check the bodies of the other three knights, and even Kelu's head was picked up for inspection.
The results were the same.
Behind the left ears of these people, there is a strip-shaped and circular notch hidden. Chen Lun immediately realized that the so-called "baptism of salvation" is most likely to place data interfaces on these people!
'Since a data interface has been installed, it must be necessary to transmit or download data... Could it be that there are large-scale federal technological equipment inside the Church of Redemption? But how can this make sense? ! '
Chen Lun was shocked by the facts before him and his thoughts were distracted.
"So these so-called "knights" are actually transmitted with some kind of fighting skills program or chip? What is the connection between the outer continent and reality..."
This moment.
He suddenly thought of the dream he had.
In his dream, Huan Gong reminded him that the last of the Four Seasons Bookmark was particularly crucial, and the clue was on the outer continent...
'Could it be related to the Church of Redemption?'
Chen Lun calmed down and thought carefully.
He decided to continue investigating the Redemption Church through Neil as a "probe" in order to find the important clues he needed!
"Sir Snake, what...what is this?"
Neil pointed at the data interface and asked in his mind.
Chen Lun replied calmly:
"The greatest secret of the Church of Redemption, and the source of the Knights' power."
"So that's how it is."
Neil was surprised.
At this moment, he suddenly heard fierce scolding and even hysterical roaring from behind him:
"Let me go! You damned lowlifes! I'm the son of a baron, how dare you treat me so roughly?!"
Neil's eyes grew colder.
He slowly stood up, turned his head, and looked at Master Fogg with indifference.
This guy was only wearing pajamas and was being held up by two burly militiamen, forced to kneel in front of Neil.
"Neil! How dare you do this, you bastard?!"
Falk's face was grim as he looked up at Neil.
The lowly man in front of him, who used to not fight back or retaliate, was now wearing leather armor, holding a cross sword in his hand, looking down at him in a serious manner.
This made Fogg feel absurd and angry.
The huge gap made him forget his own situation.
The old butler Rolf, a dozen maids and servants, Baron Miller's three wives, and the eight young heirs of the Dutt family all knelt on the ground, looking at the blond boy with horror.
"Brother Neil, don't kill me!"
"Please don't hurt me!"
"Neil, I fed you milk when I was a child, do you remember? I beg you to have mercy and not hurt my brothers and sisters..."
There were constant cries and pleas.
Neil turned a blind eye.
He raised the cross sword and pointed it at Fok's eyes.
The latter was startled.
The originally ferocious expression suddenly twisted.
It turned into fear in an instant.
"Don't...don't kill me! Neil! If you kill me, you'll be finished!"
"die!!"
Neil's eyes were violent and he swung the cross sword.
With a puff, Fokdutt's head fell to the ground, spinning, and fell in front of his younger brothers and sisters amid screams and cries.
He kept moving, and the sword slashed across the necks of these people one by one, killing all the members of the Dutt family.
Blood was all over the ground and corpses were scattered all over the place.
The militiamen looked at each other in silence, all of them were shocked by a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Among the people he captured, Neil only left one person alive, and that was the old butler Rolf.
"Rolf, you have served my Lucius family for decades and have taken good care of me. I will not kill you."
Neil had blood on his face and looked at the old man coldly with a sword in hand.
The old butler was trembling with fear, kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.
“Master Neil, I am incompetent and can’t help you!”
"I just need you to do something for me. If you do it well, you will still be the steward of Blackhorn Castle. If you don't do it well, you will die."
Neil said calmly.
"What is it? Neil...sir?"
Butler Rolf asked nervously.
Neil took out a letter he had written in advance and handed it over.
"Ride to Yadan Territory and give the letter to Baron Shabete."
The old butler took the letter and was slightly stunned.
Neil looked up at the horizon outside the castle.
Next, he will lead his men to catch up with Uncle Miller and give them a fatal blow!
"None of you can escape!"
…
…
…
Half a day later.
The incident at Blackhorn Castle spread and fermented.
The people in the territory had never imagined that the heir of the former lord, Master Neil Lucius, could actually fight against four knights alone in front of hundreds of people and kill four knights!
In addition, my uncle Miller Dutt and his family were killed!
knight!
They were feared by everyone, but Neil, a young boy, killed four of them! He even left the territory with the remaining militia!
Countless people were shocked and believed that Neil was blessed by the God of Fire to gain such divine power.
But some people also believe that Neil was able to gain such power in just two years, most likely because he was bewitched by the devil.
It was the power he exchanged for his soul.
These voices quietly entered the Church of Redemption and reached the ears of Pastor Jordan.
The old pastor was standing in front of the statue of the Candlestick Goddess and praying with a solemn look on his face.
In the past two years, he has actually been secretly keeping an eye on Neil, so he knows him quite well... otherwise he would not have offered to grant him asylum at mass a month ago.
But now it seems that Neil's performance was completely beyond his imagination.
Pastor Jordan did not think that Neil was hiding his past abilities, nor did he think that it was a so-called "miracle" that allowed him to suddenly gain power.
He was even more convinced that it was the work of the devil.
"Could it be that Neil Lucius is really possessed by a demon... If that's the case, then it must be an extremely powerful demon that could escape the test of the 'Candlelight Ritual'!"
Pastor Jordan took a deep breath.
Just in case, he decided to report the matter to the church as soon as possible. Regardless of whether Neil was possessed by a demon or not, it would not be wrong to let the church check him out.
"I hope not, ah..."
