Chapter 367: Melee in the Dark!
"Haha! Am I the one who is unscrupulous, or are you? I tell you clearly, if you want my unicorn, then ask my sword if it agrees!"
Although Gervis had taken off his armor when he came, he still carried the sword with him to prevent himself from offending too many people.
Of course, Gervis was not the only one who carried a long sword. Basically all the noble lords did the same. For example, although Derek and Ulic wore silk dresses, they also hung their long swords around their waists.
Gervis' words were extremely sharp, but there was also a solemn look in his eyes.
Although the eldest prince and Yurik are of noble status, their cultivation talents are obviously not as amazing as Alice's. At the age of more than 20, their strength is only at the peak of the Bronze Knight.
But the two iron guards beside Derek were what really frightened Gervis. One of them was a beginner silver knight, and the other was a mid-level silver knight.
If a conflict really broke out at this moment, the other side would not only have more people and more power, but also have higher cultivation than himself, so Gervis would definitely suffer.
Gervis couldn't help but glance towards the center of the hall, hoping that Fatty Pat and Code could notice the situation here. Although the cultivation of both of them was terrible, with three people around, at least the other side would be a little afraid, and they could also ask for help before the situation became too serious.
However, after looking at it for a long time, Gervis felt a little disappointed.
Although he had been confronting the eldest prince and others for a while, because the hall was dim and the music was loud, apart from some young nobles at two nearby tables craning their necks to look over here, the people in the distance could not hear any sound from here, so Pat and the others might not know the situation here with Gervis.
…
Under the guidance of the maid, Ryan came to the third floor of Glory Manor. He wiped his face vigorously with the towel handed to him by the maid. Only then did Ryan feel a little relaxed.
When he heard that Earl Avery asked him to assassinate a viscount, he was terrified and wanted to resist.
Because no matter whether his assassination was successful or not, if he was caught, the lordship and fiefdom that he had fought hard for more than ten years on the battlefield might be lost.
However, when Earl Avery told him how he would help him get out of the trouble and promised him the barony and fiefdom, Ryan finally agreed.
It's not because of greed for titles and fiefdoms.
It was because he knew that this was his only choice. Even if the Earl had not promised these rewards, his final choice would be to obey.
A vassal's vassal is not my vassal!
Although this statement is true, it must be applied to a powerful feudal lord. His feudal lord, Lien, is only a child of about ten years old. He can't even protect himself, so how can he protect Lien?
Ryan put the towel back into the copper basin, then took out a gold coin. Although he was reluctant, he finally put it on the maid's tray.
Soon, a maid with a smile on her face opened the door of the hall and led Ryan in.
Coming into the slightly dim hall, Ryan began to scan the area, looking for his target.
Soon, he found his target easily.
Before Ryan set out, Earl Avery had asked him to take a close look at Gervis's appearance and the clothes he was wearing today. This was information the Earl had just obtained.
At this time, Ryan saw that there seemed to be some conflict on Gervis's side and the situation was a little chaotic.
This was the best opportunity for him to take action, so Ryan immediately sent the maid away, clenched the dagger in his arms, and slowly moved towards the direction of Gervis.
…
The confrontation between Gervis and the eldest prince and others became increasingly severe, almost to the point of drawing swords. The hands of both sides had slowly touched the hilts of the long swords at their waists.
Gervis had even silently outlined the matrix of fireball in his mind and was frantically gathering energy into the matrix.
Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, if a fight really breaks out, Gervis decides to intimidate the opponent first and then get away quickly.
Otherwise, if you are surrounded, you will really become a fish on the chopping board, and your life or death will depend on the other party's intentions.
The eldest prince now has no room to retreat because Gervis slapped him in the face. If this matter is resolved peacefully today, he will definitely become a joke after the news gets out.
Fortunately, although Gervis is Alice's husband, he is only a bronze entry-level knight.
As long as we capture him quickly and teach him a lesson, today's matter can be resolved well. We can not only earn back our face and teach this arrogant country viscount a lesson, but also avoid a major conflict with the Jones family.
As for whether this revenge will be too light, there will definitely be follow-ups in the future, and other people can be sent to carry it out slowly.
The eldest prince's Adam's apple rolled, and he was about to say: Capture him!
But at this moment, something strange happened.
There was a loud bang, and for some unknown reason, the crystal chandelier above their heads was hit by something and shattered instantly, with crystal fragments flying everywhere.
And as the crystal chandelier shattered, the candles on it fell and went out, and their corner became dark in an instant.
…
When Ryan passed a column, he picked up a metal ornament from the table beside him, and then slowly moved behind the eldest prince and others.
The attention of the eldest prince, Yurik and others was now all attracted by Gervis, so they did not notice Ryan approaching.
Ryan felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If he could kill Gervis during this conflict and escape successfully, then maybe someone would take the blame for Gervis' death.
Ryan is a high-level bronze knight, while Gervis is only a low-level bronze knight. In his eyes, killing Gervis is not a problem; the real problem is how to escape.
The moment he threw the metal ornament in his hand, Ryan moved his body, trying to bypass the eldest prince and others and attack Gervis at a high speed.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
boom!
Gervis and the others didn't know who had knocked down the crystal chandelier above their heads, but when the crystal chandelier broke and the candle went out, plunging the scene into darkness, everyone's already tense nerves reached their peak, and they all drew their swords without hesitation.
Without even thinking twice, Gervis used the darkness to ignite his fireball and threw it at the Crown Prince and the others.
The eldest prince and his companions were only two or three meters away from Gervis. The fireball appeared suddenly, and then arrived in an instant, hitting one of them with a bang.
The man screamed and fell to the ground in an instant.
Ryan had just arrived behind the eldest prince and his companions, with a dagger already drawn, and was also frightened by the sudden explosion of fire and screams.
But he did not hesitate. The position of the fallen man gave him a huge opening, so he could attack Gervis directly.
After releasing the fireball, Gervis immediately drew out his sword, and suddenly he noticed a figure rushing out in front of him. Gervis thought it was the iron guards under the eldest prince who started to attack.
"Critical strike with one sword!"
Without even thinking, Gervis roared and slashed with his sword. Since both sides had started fighting, Gervis no longer had any reservations.
Even if you are the eldest prince, if you want to kill me, you have to ask my sword whether it agrees.
Because he estimated that the opponent's strength was at least that of a silver knight, Gervis's slash gathered double the fighting spirit and was extremely powerful.
bite!
puff!
Ryan rushed out quickly from among the eldest prince and his men. In his eyes, the bronze knight Gervis was doomed to die. In the dim light, seeing the opponent's sword coming at him, Ryan smiled contemptuously.
How powerful is a Bronze Junior Knight?
Ryan raised the mithril dagger in his hand to prepare for blocking. He had already anticipated a series of actions that would kill with one blow. He would first use the dagger to deflect Gervis's sword, and then take advantage of the gap in front of Gervis to send the mithril dagger into Gervis' heart.
However, ideals are full and reality is very skinny. The invisibility technique that Gervis practiced finally achieved results.
When Ryan felt the huge force coming from the dagger, he was stunned.
"How is that possible?"
The sword swung by Gervis was so powerful that even the Silver Knight had to be careful to deal with it. How could Ryan, a high-level Bronze Knight, possibly deflect it?
Not to mention deflecting Gervis's sword, he couldn't even block it.
The dagger in Ryan's hand was instantly knocked down, and the power of Gervis's sword slowed down a little, but it still cut Ryan's neck.
There was a "puff" sound, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Even the eldest prince, who was one meter behind, immediately felt a warm sensation on the thief's face, obviously sprayed with blood.
