Chapter 1210 The ancient knight

"Someone is here?" Although the heavy rain caused a lot of noise, Leo could still hear some movement coming from outside the Corner Castle.

Sylvia thought quickly, ran to the ruins of the chamber, placed the book of Mithrius's fear in her hand on a pile of ruins, and ran back to Leo, saying, "Hide it first and see what those people want to do."

Hearing this, Leo reached out and grabbed Sylvia's hand, retreated to a shadow located in the corner of the wall, and used the shadow to completely hide the two of them.

Not long after, I heard heavy and neat footsteps, and the footsteps were mixed with metal pounding.

"Soldier." Sylvia immediately made a guess after hearing the sound of footsteps.

Leo nodded, agreeing.

Not long after, a team of people with cloaks and hoods covering their heads quickly entered the corner castle.

Although the bodies of these people were covered very tightly, it was obvious from the unevenness of the cloak that the cloak was raised that more than a dozen people in this group were wearing armor and wore weapons. It was just that it was confusing that the weapons they carried seemed to be cold weapons. Not to mention the guns of special bullets, it was a bit strange that even the powerful steam crossbow was not carried.

In the past, steam crossbows were not allowed to be held by the public as military supplies. In addition, it was expensive, small steam engines were bulky, inconvenient to use, and it took some preparation time and could not cope with sudden time and other reasons. Adventurers entering dangerous areas such as wastelands rarely used steam crossbows.

But the situation is different now. After more than 20 years of development, the Dodd Group has miniated the main accessories of steam crossbows through the notes left by Leo, and has also strengthened the power of the crossbows. In order to cope with the endless mutant monsters, countries around the world have also opened up weapon restrictions. Ordinary people can also buy weapons such as steam crossbows that were considered contrabands in the past.

So now almost the vast majority of people entering the wasteland, whether they are large caravans and expeditions, or individual explorers and smugglers, will wear a set of steam crossbows as long as the conditions allow. After all, this can save lives at critical moments.

But now this pair would rather wear armor that is not suitable for moving in the jungle than equipped with such a standard configuration. Either these people are so powerful that they can save their lives without the help of steam crossbows, or their armor actually has special power.

Of course, there is another possibility that they don’t have the money to buy expensive weapons like steam crossbows, but they can wear rare and precious full-body armor for everyone, and they don’t look like the kind of people who are short of money.

As for the strength of these people, judging by the fact that they can still walk quickly with heavy armor and carrying a lot of baggage on their backs, their bodies are indeed very outstanding. They can be regarded as the top warrior in any country, but that's all, because these people are not extraordinary people, and they don't have the energy fluctuations that only extraordinary people can have.

The armor on their bodies was covered by the cloak, and it was impossible to tell what it was. But no matter how good the armor was, it was not a strange thing with special power, it was just ordinary armor.

After entering the Kok Castle, these people seemed to be very familiar with it. Some of them came to the open space on the side of the central square of the Kok Castle and began to make some preparations silently, taking out the things from their backpacks one by one, while the other people entered the meeting hall, as if they were looking for something.

Not long after, they took out the book of Mithrius's book of fear that Sylvia had thrown into the ruins of the chamber, and then each set up a suggestion reading shelf, placed it in the middle of the square, and the man holding the book of fear placed the books in his hand on the shelf.

At this time, these people also took off the cloaks that were inconsistent on their bodies, revealing their appearance under the cloak.

I saw that these people were all wearing armor as Leo expected, and the armor was in the same format. Judging from the appearance, it seemed to be some kind of knight armor from the early Flange Empire that had been modified with some shapes.

Although the early knight armor of the Flan Empire also attached importance to defense, it attached more importance to the gorgeousness and solemnity of the armor, because they felt that this could make those who face the attack of knights feel fear and panic. Therefore, they not only inlaid some extra patterns on the armor, but also added some monsters and extraordinary creatures to conspicuous places such as helmets, shoulder armors, and breastplates.

The armor on these people is this type of knight armor. The gaps in the armor have complex decorative patterns. The helmets are a kind of bird's head, and the shoulders are a fierce night leopard's head. This night leopard only lives in the continent of Viron and has been extinct for almost hundreds of years. As for the breastplate, it is a three-headed beast that only appears in legends. The shape of the entire armor looks exaggerated and bulky.

What's interesting is that the people wearing these armors are not flange people, but are natives of some mixed-race tribes.

During the colonial period, a large number of mixed-race children appeared in the Mosang continent. No matter what the reason for their appearance, their status was similar and they were all at the bottom. The colonists would not regard them as humans, and the wilderness tribes would not think of them as their own people. So in the end they either died in the corner of a certain plantation or in the jungle of the wilderness.

These mixed-race children are very easy to identify. I don’t know if it is because of bloodline or other reasons. Almost all mixed-race children from the Wasteland tribes and other mainland countries have obvious yellow curly hair and a straight straight nose bridge with a straight forehead slope.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for the mixed-race slaves from the plantations in the colonies to escape from the plantations at that time because their appearance was too obvious and they could be recognized by people at a glance when walking on the street.

However, there are exceptions in everything. During the most prosperous period of the colonial independence movement, many mixed-race children fell into war in various places, successfully fled the colonists' plantations, and united with each other to form a considerable force. Then, before the war subsided, they entered some uninhabited lands on the edge of the wasteland and established a tribe of mixed-race children.

Over the years, some of these mixed-race tribes have disappeared, some have been preserved, and even gradually grown. However, no matter how strong their tribes grow, they will not be accepted by the tribes in the wasteland, because these mixed-race tribes do not have shamans, and no shaman is willing to go to such a tribe, even if they are shaman apprentices.

Therefore, in order to allow themselves to survive in the wasteland, these mixed-race tribes will try their best to enhance their strength. From early knights to later mechanical arming, they are all ways to enhance their strength. Some tribes even take advantage of their own system from the development of their own system.

Judging from the outfits of the team of mixed-race tribe members in front of him, this tribe should have been inherited by a certain Flange ancient knight family and developed into its own system, so their equipment can be so unified.

"Acros." Sylvia seemed to have discovered something, and after using his power to isolate the sound, he whispered to Leo.

When Leo heard this, he quickly found the relevant information and couldn't help but mutter: "Is it the Across family?"

"Yeah." Sylvia nodded, then pointed to the decorations of the monsters and beasts on the knight's armor and said: "Ritual birds, night leopards and three-headed Mikasha are the guardian beasts of the Across family."

Although there was no relevant information in Leo's memory, he still trusted Sylvia's discovery, and Across could also be linked to the name Fabius and was very closely connected.

Across was also the most famous knight family in the early Flank Knights Dynasty. However, this family was not famous for having brave knights in the family, but because the family's profound research on rituals made them gain an extraordinary reputation, so many people prefer to call Across the ritual family rather than the knight family.

The Across family, from patriarchs to ordinary family members, are very obsessed with various rituals. They believe that any ritual contains mysterious powers that they cannot understand. As long as they understand the rules of these rituals, they can master the power contained therein.

It was this family concept from top to bottom that made their family use all methods to collect various rituals at that time from its establishment, including normal religious rituals, rituals and rituals. They wrote these ritual methods into books and improved them to create various new rituals.

It is no exaggeration to say that the various rituals conducted by the Fran Empire later, such as the crowning ceremony of the emperor ascending the throne, the triumphal ritual after the victory of the army, etc., were all created by this family. Even the preaching rituals, mass rituals, etc. of various churches were improved from the rituals created by this family. Because of this reason, the Across family had a very special status at that time.

The founder of the Fabius family and the founder of the Across family are a pair of cousins. They founded two families, and because of their bloodline, the relationship between the two families is extremely close. The number of marriages between the two parties far exceeds that of other families. Many people even believe that the two families can be regarded as one family.

This idea is not unfounded, because during the inheritance of the two families, there have been no heirs in the family's direct bloodline, and there are no suitable heirs in the collateral bloodline, so a member of noble bloodline was simply selected from the other family to inherit the position of the clan leader. This shows that the two families have at least completely merged into one in their bloodline.

So when the Fabius family perished, the Across family naturally could not be spared, and they perished almost at the same time.

Now the hybrid knight wearing the traditional armor of the Across family has appeared in the abandoned horn castle of the Fabius family, which is enough to attract the attention of Leo and Sylvia.

Just as Leo recalled the information and guessed what these people were going to do, the knights suddenly became alert and seemed to have discovered something unusual. Some of them drew out the knight's swords and protected the square. They each took out a bottle of potion from their waists, opened the bottle stopper, and were ready to take the bottle of potion at any time.

However, the people in the leaders ignored the movements around them and still took out the things in their backpacks in an orderly manner and placed them in different places, which seemed to be performing some ritual.

These things used for rituals are mutant monster heads that have been specially processed, and there are also some religious items. There are many churches involved, including the holy emblem of the Lord of the Sky and the sacrificial robe of the bishop of the Church of the King of the Hill. Judging from the bloodstains that were not processed above, the process of obtaining these things must be uneven.

Although Leo also knows very well the various mysterious rituals in the world of Viron, he cannot tell from what rituals these people want to perform from the things that will be used for rituals now.

However, soon Leo and Sylvia's attention shifted from the ceremony being prepared to other places, because the objects of the knights who were preparing to fight had already emerged from the fog.

I saw that these things that came out of the rain and fog outside the Kok Castle were all strange monsters, and there were even some transparent things that looked like ghosts.

"Roasted Horned Demon? Mita? Resentful Woman?" Seeing these monsters coming out of the rain and fog, Sylvia and Leo quickly recognized that these monsters were all lower-level races at the bottom of the abyss, and some of them could not even be called races, and could only be regarded as beasts in the abyss.

It's just strange that although these monsters are products of abyss, they have no fluctuations in the power of the abyss.

At the same time, when the mixed-race knights around the square saw the monster appear, they took the potion in their hands without hesitation. Almost as they took the potion, a strong energy fluctuation immediately emanated from their bodies. This energy fluctuation not only originated from the bodies of these knights, but also from the armor worn by the knights, and the knights' eyes also turned blood red at this moment.

Without waiting for the monster to attack, the knights who took the medicine seemed to have entered a state of madness, one by one, let out various roars, raised the knight's sword in their hands and rushed towards the monsters that kept coming out of the rain and fog.

If the medicine was not taken, these knights were just ordinary warriors, but now after taking that special medicine, these knights seem to stimulate the extraordinary power hidden in their bodies, and even stimulate the extraordinary power contained in their armor, which doubled the combat power of the knights.
