396. Armor of Darkness [Part 3]

When Harvey saw this, he also took a few steps back and kept a certain distance away. The girl in the black coffin did not pursue him.

Harvey finally felt relieved. He turned his head to look at Xalosaurus and frowned slightly, "You're not dead?"

Xalosaus yelled, "How dare you talk like that, you little bastard? Why do I have to die?"

As he spoke, Xarosas stared straight at the girl in the black coffin. The initial panic in his eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by calmness and a hint of excitement.

"A true masterpiece crafted for war... 'Armor of Darkness', look at this beautiful creation."

Harvey looked at Xarosaurus and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Harvey saw with his own eyes that Springhall Xarosas was pierced through the body by a black blade. Harvey glanced and saw that there was no blood on Xarosas's body - under Xarosas' robe that was pierced by the black blade, there was a bright silver metal structure. Thinking of the metal hands and feet of Xarosas that he had seen before, Harvey snorted.

"madman."

This person actually turned himself into a machine.

No wonder Xalooza has never appeared as an arcanist since that serious injury. I'm afraid Xalooza can no longer be considered an arcanist now, but a complete magician, a more complete magician than any other magician.

Harvey was too lazy to continue the topic and turned his gaze to the girl in the black coffin.

"'Black Hell Armor'—is that so? Is this the secret you've been keeping so closely guarded?"

"Hey, there's no such thing as a secret. As long as it's a weapon, it will be revealed one day, right? - So-called weapons are made for this purpose."

Xarrosus was immersed in excitement. He was very satisfied with his masterpiece and had no intention of hiding anything - but this was not good news, because Harvey knew that only people who were fearless would do so.

"Oh, how ridiculous! Your own creations are turning around and slaughtering your own people?"

"It was just an accident! I don't know what went wrong..."

It seemed that Xarosas was not lying, and he had no idea why the Black Armor suddenly went berserk.

But what Xalosaurus didn't say was that the "Armor of Darkness" was not yet fully completed - the girl was the best "core" they had finally obtained. They sealed the girl in a black coffin, sealing off the girl's soul, only to use the seal to borrow the girl's special powers, and on this basis developed the ultimate weapon "Armor of Darkness".

But because the girl's soul has become dormant, the power she can provide is limited, so sufficient energy must be provided from the outside to allow her to take action.

Therefore, the duration of her activities each time is very limited. When the energy in her body is completely consumed, the black coffin will become silent due to energy exhaustion. Before that, as long as you leave a certain range of her, you will not be attacked, because the magicians have not given her any instructions at all. Now she is just relying on her innate fighting instinct to maintain her own vigilance.

Therefore, Xalosaurus was not worried at all, or rather, his only worry was that Harvey would take that opportunity to destroy or take away the "Armor of Black Hell" - because both the black coffin and the girl were unique, and the "Armor of Black Hell" was almost impossible to copy. If it was taken away, then everything would be gone.

Therefore, he had to wait for enough time for reinforcements to arrive.

This surprise attack by the Queen was indeed something he had not expected.

After hearing what Xarosas said, Harvey's eyes became solemn.

This is the "Armor of Darkness" - the Queen's worries were right. The Seventh Agency actually created a weapon of war, and used the power of magical technology to create an existence equivalent to extraordinary power. According to Cassius Harvey's judgment, this "Armor of Darkness" already possesses the power equivalent to that of a holy object.

Creating a power equal to that of a sacred object with human strength—what a terrifying concept! Once proven feasible and replicable, the future landscape of the continent would be completely rewritten. Harvey couldn't quite decide for a moment whether these mages had accomplished something great or insane.

But one thing is certain, everything here must be taken over by the Queen, and the crazy Duke and the ambitious royalists must never be allowed to control such a powerful and terrifying power.

Harvey gave the order immediately without hesitation.

"Everyone listen to my orders, take her down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Harvey swung his sword across and stabbed Xarrosas with lightning speed - he had to deal with this troublesome old man first before he could focus on dealing with the girl in the black coffin.

"You brat! Another sneak attack!"

Xarrosus was so angry that his nose was crooked. He tried to block Harvey's sword, but he stumbled - his body was already injured and was no longer under his control, and at this time Harvey's shield also fell on him.

bang——

Xarrosus sank into the ground under the powerful shield strike.

At the same time, Harvey turned around and rushed towards the girl in the black coffin. At this moment, a dim light flashed in the girl's turbid eyes, and a faint light finally appeared in her silent eyes. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Looking at the knights rushing towards her, she took a step back.

The black blade floating beside her made a faint vibration, as if it was ready to be unsheathed at any time - but she did not swing the black blade again as Harvey expected, but suddenly leaped into the air and flew into the distance like an arrow.

This scene made Xarosas stunned, and the magicians showed the same expression.

"H-How...what is she doing! Who is it? Who inputted the 'command' to her?!"

Xarrosus completely ignored his mutilated body and crawled out of the potholes and gravel like crazy, shouting.

"Come back! Come back!"

This scene also made Harvey feel very difficult.

Because the black coffin was flying too fast, really too fast, the black blade was suspended beside the girl, and the pieces combined to form beautiful black wings, which made her fly high in the sky like a bird. The moment the girl jumped up, Harvey rode on the earth dragon and chased after her, but he could not catch up no matter what.

Speed ​​is not Xavi's advantage, not to mention that he is on the ground while the opponent is in the sky.

"Get down here!"

Harvey raised Beshmidt high, and the dazzling beam of light pierced straight at the girl in the black coffin. However, the girl turned over easily, and the black blades closed together, blocking the beam of light. With a series of sharp explosions in the sky, the girl's figure disappeared above the valley.

Harvey lost track.

397. Returning the Property to Its Original Owner [Fourth Update]

late at night.

In the western border of the empire, in the Losdak garrison province, south of Dammas City, a port city bordering the southernmost part of the Western Great Forest and the coast, Klindkren—

Duke Ryanfort and dozens of elite warriors were waiting in front of the teleportation array, and several mages were nervously carrying out the final charging of the teleportation array.

The adjutant came to Ryanfort with the latest news and reported in a low voice.

"Hmm? The teleportation station was attacked? His Majesty sent Cassius Harvey and the Royal Knights? —Is she crazy? What is she thinking? Has she completely disregarded the future of the entire royal family in order to avenge her mother?"

When Yorulg wi Lanefort received the belated news from the imperial capital, he frowned deeply. He was a little angry because he was disappointed with the Queen's actions.

He knew that the Queen had always been wary of his Seventh Organ, and he could guess that the Queen planned this attack in order to find out the secret of the Seventh Organ. It can be said that Her Majesty the Queen's judgment and starting point were not wrong, but the problem was that at this critical juncture when the holy relic was born, Her Majesty the Queen's behavior was completely an act of giving up the fight for the holy relic.

The Seventh Agency suffered some losses in exchange for a holy relic, a trade Ryan Fort saw nothing wrong with. Did the Queen think the Royal Knights alone could crush the Seventh Agency? If the Queen dared to mobilize the entire Knights, the royal family would be in danger, which was obviously unfeasible. Cassius Harvey and his men alone could only inflict a small amount of pain on Xalosaurus, but they couldn't overthrow the entire Seventh Agency.

After all, Ryan Fort also has forces left in the imperial capital. Once the situation is not right, they will support the Seventh Agency, at least not let the situation worsen.

"If the future of the empire is left to the current Queen, the empire's star will be completely dimmed."

He snorted coldly and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head.

He was conflicted because he had no right to say such things. The Empire's arrival at this point was perhaps inevitable, and even without him, another "Duke" would have become the leader of those speculators, but this was no excuse for him to exonerate himself.

Moreover, when it comes to revenge, Her Majesty the Queen is much more restrained than him.

He sighed.

Sometimes, he even thinks he is a madman.

"Forget it. As long as Cassius Harvey doesn't go to the North, everything will continue as planned. Also, send someone to support Xalosaurus and ensure the smooth recovery of the 'Armor of Darkness'."

He made simple arrangements and had no intention of confronting the empress head-on in the imperial capital.

Originally, he sent out the Black Hell Armor to restrain Cassius Harvey, who possessed the holy relic. But now that guy is still in the imperial capital, it doesn't matter anymore - although the process is different from what was expected, the result is no different. The next step is to safely recover the Black Hell Armor that has completed its mission. With the manpower he left in the imperial capital, this is not difficult to do.

The key to the struggle lies in checks and balances, and it doesn't necessarily require a head-on confrontation, right?

The Queen's position is too high, so she has to take into account too many things, which often become a burden to her. Because of this, Ryan Fort has more choices. Although this method is not very glorious, there are not so many glorious things in the power field.

At this moment, the adjutant received new news. He looked very unhappy when he was halfway through reading it, and his face turned pale after he finished reading it - and this scene fell into Ryanfort's eyes.

Ryanfort frowned: "Theofeld, what's wrong?"

"Armor of Darkness..."

"Black Hell Armor?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ryanfort's sharp gaze pierced Theoford's heart. He gritted his teeth and continued, "The Dark Armor went berserk, killing and injuring several Seventh Organ Magisters before escaping..."

"The Black Hell Armor escaped? —Spread wings and flew away!?"

Ryanfort roared for the first time in a long time, his eyes wide open, staring at his adjutant Theofeld.

"Wasn't her soul wiped out? How could she escape? Isn't it difficult to even wake her up? How could she still fly? Tell me! Who is controlling her? —Where's Xaloxus! Isn't he in the Seventh Agency? What the hell is he doing?!"

"Xarrosus was injured and arrested by Cassius Harvey, and the Seventh Agency lost a lot of manpower. Our people have already started to rescue him and search for the whereabouts of the Dark Armor. The Dark Armor has a magical mark on it, but... it seems that someone intercepted it..."

A series of bad news made Ryanfort's face turn pale. He couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, he seemed to be so angry that he started coughing violently. He was over eighty years old and his body could no longer withstand the fatigue. He couldn't stop coughing.

Theoford swallowed hard. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen Ryanfort so angry. He hurried forward to hand him the medicine and patted Ryanfort's back gently. After a while, Ryanfort finally recovered and gasped for breath.

"Have you found anything? Don't tell me there are no clues."

"No... I don't know... The camp was completely destroyed in the battle, and now Xalosaurus has been captured. We don't have enough manpower to investigate the camp..."

"Then let the West Wind Brigade return. The Eastern Territory can be released, but the 'Armor of Darkness' cannot be released."

"Yes!"

The adjutant quickly conveyed the message, then asked cautiously:

"So...are we going back to the imperial capital now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Ryan Forte.

"Why go back now? Will the Armor of Darkness be waiting for us in the Imperial Capital? Or do you think Wo Kress will hand the relic over to us after he brings it back? We'll talk about it later after we hold Xalosaurus accountable. Let the West Wind Brigade deal with the mess in the Imperial Capital. Now we must capture Wo Kress and seize the relic as soon as possible. He's just a Knight Commander, so this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

“I will definitely give it my all!”

At this time, the teleportation array was also fully charged.

"go!"

Ryan Fort was the first to walk into the teleportation array. His almost cannibalistic gaze made people feel cold in their hearts, and the others hurriedly followed.

In a flash of light, their figures disappeared.

……

At the same time, Elsa and Tricia came to an abandoned village covered in snow. If it weren't for Elsa's amazing eyesight, it would have been difficult to find it in the snow.

There was a half-collapsed watchtower in the village, where they found Wo Cress and others who were taking a short rest.

"Greetings to the Master of Mystic Laws and the Master of Saint Sisters."

Wo Cress was very polite. Although he had never seen Aisha, he called out Aisha's identity. It was obvious that he had received the news before Aisha and Tricia arrived here.

As he spoke, he took out a silver cross pendant wrapped in layers of square cloth strips. A holy object of this level was simply not something a small space device could bear, so it could only be carried in this way, which he considered almost blasphemous.

He knelt on one knee and respectfully presented the pendant with both hands.

"Here is the holy relic. Please take it back, Saint Sister. We were not aware that this relic belonged to you. We have taken it without your permission. We are deeply offended. Please forgive us."

"Don't say that. It was my fault for leaving it lying around and causing you trouble. How can I be held responsible?"

Behind Wo Cress, among the knelt knelt, a pair of eyes stared at the pendant unwillingly. He was a spy planted by Duke Ryanfort. When Wo Cress revealed the identities of Aisha and Tricia, he knew that they would not be able to obtain the holy relic.

According to the Duke's order, if the Holy Nun and the Sage intervene, they will have to give up the holy relic.

Want to give up?

He was very unwilling.

……

398. Handling of Sacred Objects

There was no misunderstanding between Elsa, Tricia and Stikia, or rather, Wo Cress himself knew very well that he was not sure if he could bring the holy relic back to the hands of Her Majesty the Queen, so after receiving the Queen's order, he did not hesitate to return the hot potato of the holy relic to Elsa and Tricia.

After getting the pendant, Elsa and Tricia did not leave immediately. As the first people to discover the holy relic, Wo Cress and the Scout Knight, Tricia asked them about the situation at that time.

In order to prevent the characteristics of the holy object from being accidentally erased by Elsa, Elsa did not take the pendant back directly, but handed it to Tricia for careful observation.

Tricia held the cross pendant in her palm, carefully feeling the "blessing" it brought, and said firmly:

"This is indeed a holy relic. It can filter magic energy and guide circuits on its own. It has transcended the scope of being just a cross pendant."
