The Devil’s Cage Chapter 26: Where is the head?

Kieran sat in the reception room and chatted with Herbert.

Of course, the mouth is all about irrelevant things, but the real communication is the text written by the fingers of the double hair.

Suddenly, the fingers of Kieran writing text have a meal--

[Trigger Special Event: Battle of Fate]

[According to your experience and performance in Dungeon World, you cannot refuse this special event! 】

【Fate of the Fate: Carrying the name of the'emperor descendant "royal family" royal family, and recognized by most of the mutant, under the guidance of Cardeville, the original enemy of the "emperor" was attracted. An extended war, you need to guarantee the victory of'Neegor Dynasty'! 】

(According to the performance of the event, you will get unequal clearance evaluation!)

......

Can’t refuse [special event]?

Kieran frowned.

This is the first time he has encountered such a thing.

"Did it change because of the reputation of the "royal family" that I replaced?"

Kieran guessed by looking at the information in the note.

"what happened matter?"

The old scholar wrote on his finger with tea.

"I thought of something unexpected!"

"Do you know who the enemy of the "Emperor" is?"

Kieran shook his head, and then wrote.

"The enemy of the "Emperor"?"

"At that time, Neegor Dynasty had unified the whole world, and that person'Emperor' had almost no enemies. It would be even more impossible if he was an enemy."

"But... there is another possibility!"

"Witch!"

"I remember recording in some books that when the witches presented Eye of the Chimeras, they disappeared."

"And in some book records, the witches are also quite formidable. They used to have their own country and civilization, but they also disappeared-it seems that it also happened after offering Eye of the Chimeras to the "Emperor"; then, that person "Emperor" It became more and more unscrupulous until the entire dynasty disappeared!"

"If it is an enemy, I think the witch is very likely!"

"But only possible!"

After thinking for a while, the old scholar wrote in detail.

Looking at the words on the coffee table, Kieran's expression became solemn.

Unknown enemy!

This is not a good thing.

The enemies of formidable are not terrible.

Because, even the enemies of formidable also have weaknesses.

Unknown enemies are different!

Like an assassin shrouded in shadows, when you approach unconsciously, the sharp dagger will cut your throat in the most unexpected way.

"Witch?"

Kieran adjusted the sitting posture, heart meditated on the noun, and then looked at the note of [Special Event] again.

Among them, the name of Cardeville and the word "guide" are very dazzling.

"It's late at night, you need a good rest!"

"What is the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Kieran said to Herbert.

Finger wrote on the coffee table: Where is Cardeville's old nest?

Herbert was shocked all over.

The old scholar seems to have guessed what Kieran wants to do, but the old scholar did not persuade him. He knows that his persuasion is of no use to people like Kieran.

The Kieran who has identified certain things is not persuasive by words alone.

Shudrin Castle.

Old scholars wrote down this place name.

At the same time, the old scholar added a line of text: The legacy of ‘Emperor’ is also there!

Seeing this line of text, the both eyes of Kieran is a squint.

What a coincidence?

both eyes with squinted Kieran is shimmering.

......

"His Royal Highness, our knights are already following those guys, they can’t run!"

After entering the study room, Idell bowed straight down.

As Herbert and others are escorted, as long as they are not fools, they can guess that there must be a temporary Cardeville base near Calhart Barrack.

Without talking about Kieran, Idell knows what to do with one look.

"Don't let them follow, go directly to Shudrin Castle."

"Then, arrange fast horses and necessary supplies for me!"

Kieran said.

"Shudrin Castle?"

"Okay, Your Highness!"

Idell was taken aback.

It does not understand the Kieran command, but this does not prevent it from doing so.

For the Idell whose status has just been upgraded to another level and can obtain seat qualifications in the Chamber, Kieran’s order is an irresistible purpose.

At Dawn, a team escorted by four mutant knights set off.

Of the three carriages, the last one is full of supplies.

Although the distance between Shudrin Castle and Calhart Barrack is not far away, if the fast horse gallops, it only takes one day, but Idell does not care about it at all, it still loads the carriage with ‘essential supplies’.

Of course it is the kind it understands.

Gold and silver utensils, blankets woven from black goat wool, and even fresh ingredients and fruits.

In fact, if it is not the last Kieran block.

This team will become extremely large.

Idell was hoping to hang the entire barracks behind Kieran.

"It’s really loyal!"

Contly is not just sarcasm or praise.

Kieran is not stubborn. He leaned on a soft cushion and buried almost all of his upper body. There was no comfort on his face, only light thoughts.

"Hum!"

Looking at the appearance of Kieran, Contly could not help humming, and turned around and jumped off the carriage.

At once, the car was quiet again.

However, this quietness did not last long.

"Ah!"

A scream rang from outside.

The Kieran figure, which was half-backed there, rushed out of the car like electricity.

The body of one of the four mutant knights is separated.

The body below the neck is still sitting on the horse’s back, but the head above the neck is missing, only the blood sprayed from the chest.

Lehade, Lie and the three mutant knights immediately surrounded the Kieran regiment, protected behind them, and looked around with a vigilant look.

Contly, big guy and Herbert also jumped from the second carriage.

The Contly, who temporarily serves as the second carriage driver, looked at the dead body in horror.

The Contly, who used to be Bounty Hunter for a period of time, would not be shocked when facing a dead body at random. What really shocked her was that she did not see attacker from beginning to end.

What she saw was that the head of the mutant knight turned around several times and fell to the ground.

Contly quickly ran to the corpse that had fallen to the ground from the battle horse to examine carefully.

The uneven muscles in the neck, tears in the skin, and signs of broken bones in the spine all proved that she had just read it right.

The neck of the mutant knight really suffered a rapid twist.

Then the head was unscrewed.

Just...

Who did it?

Contly raised his head to look around the people~IndoMTL.com~ hope to get some answers.

But everyone who has eye contact with her has a blank face.

Obviously no one has seen attacker.

The only exception is Kieran.

"Did you find out?"

Looking at the thoughtful look of Kieran, Contly could not help asking.

Kieran didn't answer, just raised his right hand, extended his index finger and nodded his head.

"What do you mean..."

The Contly hasn't finished speaking yet, so it reacted.

Head?

Head!

Where is the head of that mutant knight? !
