Chapter 1203 Royal Knight
"I'm not sure. Vanessa's condition hasn't been very good lately, but it's not something that's particularly serious that can be seen with the naked eye."
Miss Lassers sounded worried:
"I want her to tell the Witch Council, but Vanessa doesn't like to bother others all the time and thinks it's just a trivial matter. Mr. Watson, since you also know other great witches, please wait until Vanessa is rescued. Advise her."
"No problem, and my real name is Shad Hamilton."
Shad said, Miss Lassus nodded, and then the puppet's head suddenly raised and looked at him:
"Hamilton? It is rumored that Miss Carina's."
This rumor spread further than Shade imagined.
"Act III: Royal Knights and Foreign Knights
The foreign knight and the loyal maid fought against the forest giant, obtained the giant's power, defeated the evil wizard, and took away the wizard's ring. For the princess, they continued to set off. Even though they had feelings for each other, they still came to the gate of the castle for the imprisoned princess. ”
Amidst the funny singing, the two people returned to the fork in the city and were taken to the bottom of the castle by the change of venue again. This is a typical fairy tale style castle. Surrounding the castle is a moat - a ditch made of wooden troughs, and the suspension bridge has not been lowered at this time.
Movement in the puppet form is hindered. Even if both of them can swim, there is no need to risk swimming across the river. Shade used Silver Moon Slash to cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge. After finding that the bridge deck was still missing, he cast a spell to summon the dilapidated wooden boat, and then he and Miss Lassers took the wooden boat across the narrow river.
There are mechanisms on the walls of the castle model. After rotating the turntable, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the entrance to the interior of the castle was finally opened.
Although the castle model covers far less area than the "Giant Forest" and "Abandoned Royal Capital" areas, the level of detail inside the castle model is not comparable to the rough scenes outside.
The interiors of the city model buildings are all hollow, but inside the castle, there are almost real rooms, corridors, stairs and even secret doors. The oil paintings on the walls, kerosene lamps and decorative red carpets are all there, which even makes people suspicious. I really came to the kingdom of puppets.
The enemies blocking the road, corresponding to the wild wolves in the forest and the thugs in the city, are knights in armor in the castle.
They were hollow wooden models, most of them holding wooden one-handed swords. Their swordsmanship and defense were extremely impressive. A few enemies also hold shields, and even fewer enemies use two-handed swords or spears.
They exist in almost every corner of the castle model. Although they only perform close attacks, once they form a cluster, it will also be troublesome for Shade and Miss Lassers.
They can only fight as quietly as possible, and this is when Shade's swordsmanship comes into play. Although he would not claim to be a master of swordsmanship, the swordsmanship he learned from [Night Watch] is equally astonishing. Coupled with the three swords summoned by [Blade of Disarrayed Time], Miss Lassers can hardly function. Every time Shade rushes forward with the moonlight sword in hand, and then defeats the enemies in front of him after a sword fight.
You only need to take the stairs to the top, but just like what the puppet said, the door at the top requires three items to open. Even Shade's "Key to the Door" cannot be opened in the puppet form. After all, forcing the door to open is the basic rule for sage-level relics.
By collecting small notes left in the castle, Shade and Miss Lassers pieced together some information. They helped each other along the way, and finally learned about the "controlled animal" through fragmentary information. "Royal Knight" puppet location.
The secret door is located in the kitchen on the second floor. You can go back to the first floor through the secret passage, and then go around the bookshelf behind the study to see the stairs going up.
The royal knight puppet is waiting for the two of them in the hidden hall at the end of the stairs. Its size is similar to the armor puppet in the castle, but its surface painting and helmet style are more gorgeous.
The left hand holds a half-height silver shield, and the right hand pulls out the one-handed silver sword inserted into the gap between the carpet and the "floor tiles", as if standing in the arena, waiting for the arrival of the two people.
"Silver Moon Slash!"
Shad, who pushed open the door, still started with a long-range attack, wanting to test the opponent's defense strength. But he didn't expect that the knight puppet didn't dodge at all. He raised the silver shield and waved it. The bright arc-shaped light blade touched the silver shield, and then returned the same way as if it was reflected by a mirror.
If Shade hadn't pulled Miss Lassus to the side in time, the two of them would probably have been cut off.
"What's going on?"
Xia De was greatly surprised. He had never encountered such a situation before. Even though the power of his spellcasting in puppet form is weakened, the essence is still "Moonlight Slash".
"Fireball!"
While thinking, Miss Lassus also raised her right hand. As the red copper ring glowed, a fireball about the size of a puppet's head flew out. The silk thread above the knight puppet trembled, and the silver shield with his left hand was swung out again, and the fireball was immediately counterattacked.
Fortunately, the two of them were prepared this time, and the fireball just hit the wall, penetrated the wall, and flew out of the castle model. It didn't disappear until it hit the wall of the box, making a soft thud and a ball of sparks.
The sound was not loud, and it could even be said that it was completely drowned in the hoarse bass singing voice in the opera house. The opera outside was being staged until the hero's proposal was rejected and he was alone and sad by the river.
"Meow?"
But next to the box where Shade was taking an "adventure", the cat's little ears, lying on the sofa taking a nap alone, twitched a few times, apparently hearing the abnormal sound.
The cat was very alert, so he lazily stood up and looked at the wall where the noise had just been made. He shook the tail wearing the [Metamorphosis Ring], jumped from the sofa to the back of the sofa and looked around, but did not see Shade.
"Meow~"
Put your **** back, open your mouth wide, and stretch your body. The cat jumped neatly onto the soft carpet, and then came to the closed door. I pushed it twice with my little head to make sure that I couldn't open the door, so I turned around and backed away, adjusted my position and rushed towards the door.
The paws grabbed the door panel neatly, and with just two jumps, the dexterous orange cat had already grabbed the metal door handle with its paws.
But unfortunately, the cat doesn't weigh enough to pull the door handle down. So it squirmed hard a few times, and as the door handle was pulled downwards, the door creaked open.
Mia swung for a few times before jumping to the floor again, sticking her little cat head out from the crack in the door and looking around. Then, his pink nose twitched a few times, catching the scent of Shade. Then half of the cat's body squeezed out from the narrow crack in the door like water, and looked at the half-open door next door.
The cat smelled Shade and was worried about Shade, so he trotted over.
Clang!
The moonlight sword collided with the knight's silver sword, and tiny silver light fragments flew everywhere. Even though Shade's strength increased while wearing the ruby, he still failed to take advantage of the battle with the "Royal Knight" puppet. Upside.
Since casting spells would be reflected, Shade brought the ruby and engaged in close combat with the Royal Knights. The royal knight has a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. His attack and defense are so flexible that he is almost like a puppet. His strength is even similar to that of Shade who is wearing the "Forest Giant Ruby".
But fortunately, it is only one person after all. It uses a combination of sword and shield to fight Shade, which means that it cannot defend against Miss Lassus' fireball.
Therefore, when Shade's [Crimson Chain] finally succeeded in binding the Royal Knight's right foot, making it slow in its movements, it had to use its sword and shield to defend Shade's four moonlight swords at the same time. Miss Sess's fireball hit it in the back.
The Royal Knight's body defense is not outstanding. Although it was not damaged after being hit by a fireball, its body movements became more inflexible.
"Good opportunity!"
Shad's yellow "Moonlight Great Sword" in his left hand stabbed at the gap between the knight's sword and shield, and his right hand's silver "Moonlight Great Sword" pressed against the knight's large shield, not giving it a chance to fight back. Miss Lassus endured the feeling of weakness due to the huge drain on her mental power, and once again used fireball to sneak attack on the knight's back. After five consecutive fireballs hit the target, the "Royal Knight" finally knocked away Shade in front of him, turned around and charged towards Miss Lassers with his shield.
This was not a simple charge. At that moment, Miss Lassus actually felt that she was imprisoned in place and unable to move, but the shield-wielding knight had almost transformed into a silver chariot and charged towards her.
"Mr. Hamilton!"
"Don't worry!"
The figure of Shade's puppet once again used "Ragrai's Jump" and appeared between Miss Rathus and the Royal Knight. At this moment, he also felt that his body seemed unable to move, but he did not need to move:
"Seal of Heaton!"
A golden shield of light appeared around him, blocking the charging knight. And the stream of light caused by the exploded shield also caused the knight to fall to the ground. With such cooperation, Xia Decai finally threw out the chain and wrapped it around the knight's sword. After taking away the sword, the royal knight finally became motionless.
"Are you okay?"
Miss Lassers hurriedly supported Shade. Although the Heaton seal was successfully cast just now, the shield was actually shattered. Shade was a little unsteady due to the backlash, but the situation was not serious.
"It's okay for now."
As he spoke, with a "boom~" sound, the wall on the east side of the battle space seemed to have been hit by a sledgehammer, revealing a cracked hole. After the wall collapsed, a shortcut to the top stairs was revealed, so they no longer had to go back along the secret passage:
"This is convenient"
"You don't look like you're okay."
Miss Lassers asked worriedly. There were now three obvious split marks on Shade's puppet body. Those marks were all caused by the silver sword in his hand at this time, but compared with the previous two props, this sword was ordinary and had no other effect except being sharper.
