If the dungeon of Maple Leaf Castle was like an underground catacomb, then the dungeon of Crescent Castle was simply hell on earth! The air was filled with a rotten and stinking smell, and rotting debris, dried blood, and maggots crawling everywhere.

There are also many big, sleek black rats.

These mice have red eyes and black and yellow teeth. When they see people, they don’t run away but squeak excitedly.

Apparently, they were used to eating human flesh.

"With such a horrible place under my feet, I can't sleep well at night."

Rosen decided that after dealing with Sir Ales, he would completely close the dungeon. The underground space was not small and could be fully reused.

Back to the topic.

He cast a levitation spell on himself and scanned the tomb-like cells, searching for the imprisoned knight.

He saw many prisoners who were dying.

There might be some real villains among those imprisoned in the castle dungeon at this moment, but there must also be many diehard fans of the old baron.

There was no time to rescue them for the time being, so Rosen used a low-level healing spell and water condensation spell on each of them to keep them alive and prevent them from dying.

Soon, he saw the target of his trip.

He is a man in his early thirties, with a square face. He is indeed very tall, with long arms and legs, and looks very honest.

At this moment, his eyes were closed, his lips were cracked, and his face was as gray as a corpse. He was wearing a bloodstained prison uniform. His exposed skin was blue and swollen due to the cold, and his wrists were limp and drooping, and his legs were twisted and deformed.

Looking closely, Rosen discovered that the man's hand tendons were cut and his thigh bone was broken.

If it weren't for the intermittent breathing, it would be no different from a corpse.

"Hey~ If you don't dare to kill him on the spot, you can torture him to death little by little afterwards. When he dies, the Crescent Knights will almost adapt to the new order. Who will really stand up for a dead stubborn knight?"

If it were on Earth, Codlin would have been completely ruined.

But this world has magical healing spells.

As a very cautious wizard, how could Rosen not study healing spells? In the Natural Alliance, the healing spells of the natural system are the most diverse and the most effective, especially for external injuries. As long as the person is not dead, they can be brought back to life.

However, the natural law system is the specialty of the Temple of Nature, and it is not passed down without formal teaching.

With the attitude of "respect ghosts and gods but keep them at a distance", Rosen did not study natural magic.

He chose the slightly less effective 'Life Magic' and 'Pure Water Magic', and combined the strengths of the two magic systems to create several very effective healing spells.

Although Kaudrin's injuries were serious, he could use the powerful five-ring healing technique "Levin's Light" to heal him.

As the name of the spell suggests, this is exclusive to Puppet No. 1 and Puppet No. 2 cannot do it.

The good news is that Levin No. 1 is always nearby to provide protection.

After a while, Levin arrived in the dungeon.

After he silently cast the spell for about ten seconds, he gently placed the staff in Codlin's mouth, pouring a large ball of fiery red crystal liquid into it.

Then it floated away.

Look at Caudlin again.

I saw this ball of strange light liquid flowing down from its mouth into its body, and then quickly turned into countless fiery red rays of light, rushing to its limbs and bones.

Immediately afterwards, his thin body became plump at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his deformed hands and feet returned to their original shape with the help of the deformation force.

About ten minutes later, Codlin exhaled a breath and slowly opened his eyes.

At first, his vision was a little hazy, and his eyeballs turned around blankly, then he saw Rosen, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Lord?"

He woke up suddenly, stood up, and stared at Rosen in the dim light of the light magic.

After looking for three seconds, he recognized Rosen's identity: "Master, is that you?!"

His face was full of excitement, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and a hint of awe as he looked at Rosen.

Obviously, he was also deeply influenced by Rosen's "leadership skills".

Rosen also looked relieved: "It's me."

The old baron said in the letter that Codlin was the son of a farmer, but he had aspired to become a knight since he was a child. During his slack season on the farm, he taught himself martial arts and achieved some success.

So he was promoted to the position of personal guard as an exception.

When he was in a good mood, he would occasionally give him some pointers, but he did not expect that this man, with his outstanding efforts and good talent, would make rapid progress. By the age of 25, he had become one of the three great knights of Crescent City.

He has outstanding talents, a tough and simple character, and is the old baron's most trusted and relied-on subordinate.

Now it seems that he has not let the old baron down.

And at this moment, he is the sharp sword left by the old baron to Rosen.

Only then did Kaudrin notice the changes in his body. He quickly checked it and looked confused: "My body. My hands. My legs."

Rosen explained: "I brought a healing potion and cured your injuries."

After hearing this, Kaudrin fell to his knees and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Master. But Master, you shouldn't have risked coming back, and you shouldn't have wasted such a precious potion on me."

Rosen didn't argue with him and said directly: "Codlin, I need you to help me take back Crescent Castle."

Kauderlin was stunned: "Master, just us?"

Rosen shook his head: "No, there is a group of powerful warriors lurking outside the castle, but the castle is strong and it is difficult to attack. We must find a way to open the gate and cause internal strife in the castle."

Kaudrin immediately understood the current situation. He said in a serious tone, "Master."

Rosen corrected: "In Dawn City, I have been canonized as the new baron by the Duke."

Caudlin was not surprised at all. He was already impressed by Rosen's leadership image.

He immediately changed his words: "Lord, Hansk and Goodman are traitors of Crescent City, and there are at least ten Crescent Knights following them."

He skipped the question of 'whether to do it or not' and went straight to discussing 'how to do it specifically'.

Rosen immediately asked, "Why did they betray me? Did my father mistreat them?"

Codlin shook his head: "No, Hanske should be held hostage, and Goodman was instigated."

"Who instigated it? Alais?"

Kaudrin shook his head again: "No, it's a powerful forest spirit in the mountains."

"I don't know who this forest elf is, whether he is a man or a woman, or which forest elf tribe he belongs to. All the information I know so far was revealed by Alais himself."

"He said that this forest spirit is very powerful and terrifying, a terrible master of sorcery, and the end of opposing him is death."

Rosen's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this: "Interesting~~"

He almost immediately remembered the strange metallic power he felt on the Longmian Snow Peak.

Witchcraft is the name for many ancient spells, referring to some mysterious primitive spells with vague principles.

At present, most of the primitive witchcraft has been cracked by modern wizards.

If it weren't for the extraordinary power of Longmian Snow Peak, Rosen would never have taken this master of sorcery seriously.

But now, we have to be more cautious.

After pondering for a moment, he continued to ask: "Is there any other information about this master of sorcery?"

Kaudrin nodded: "This master provides a potion called 'Dragon's Blessing'."

"After drinking it, not only will you become extremely powerful, your body will also be as strong as steel, and your skin will be as tough as the legendary dragon skin. That night, I used my battle axe to chop him with all my strength, but I could only leave a shallow blood mark on Alais' neck."

Kaudrin is a force at the peak of advanced level, and a full-strength attack can only barely break his defense.

Rosen immediately asked: "Besides Alais, do other knights have this potion?"

"Yes. Goodman and Hanske also have one. But I have been locked up for too long, so I don't know about the others."

This information was very crucial, so Rosen immediately sent a secret order to Lai Fu.

'Have No. 1 steal a bottle of Dragon's Blessing and try to dispel the effect. If the effect can be dispelled, give up stealing. If it can't be dispelled, steal all the potions.'

'Command received.'

Meanwhile, Rosen gave Caudrin a vague explanation.

"I didn't sneak in alone. There are several powerful spies with me. I have already passed the news about the potion to the spies. Let's wait for the news first."

Kaudrin had no idea how magic worked, so he nodded in awe.

About ten minutes later, Rosen received a new message from Lai Fu.

"The working principle of the potion is unknown and it cannot be dispelled. All the finished products have been stolen. The quantity is 20."

Rosen secretly exclaimed his luck: "This witchcraft master really has unique skills."

Fortunately, they came to rescue Codlin first, otherwise 20 invulnerable and powerful barbaric warriors would have appeared in the process of capturing the castle. Even if they won the final victory, they would have suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Levin was brought along and the enemy was disarmed in advance.

He turned to Kaudrin and said, "Well, the spies stole all the potions. How are you doing?"

Kaudrin patted his chest hard and said, "Lord, I am fine now. Please give me your orders."

Rosen was very happy: "Very good."

"First, we need to call for a group of loyal Crescent Knights. Do you have any candidates?"

"Yes, but how can we find them quietly?"

"I know the invisibility spell."

"That's fine."

Kaudrin immediately stood up and said, "Lord, let's go and gather the warriors."

He walked towards the dungeon exit first, saying as he walked: "Alais is a scoundrel. Many brothers do not respect him in their hearts. But because there is really no hope, they have no choice but to surrender."

"Now that you are back, Lord, you don't look as mediocre as the legend says. Ahem~ Lord, I don't mean to belittle you. It's just that you didn't have a good reputation on the island before."

"I understand. It took me a long time to learn magic, but that's because the field of magic is too profound."

Kaudelin's face showed a strong curiosity: "Well-educated? Does the lord read a lot of books?"

"Yes. Lots of books."

He asked, "Are there as many as twenty?"

Books are rare on the island, and Caudlin has only seen three books in his life.

For him, twenty books is already a very large number.

Rosen couldn't help but laugh: "There are far more than 20 books, but 561 books, totaling 16.92 million words."

This is the number of books I have read carefully myself. If we include the ones that Lai Fu scanned and recorded in the database, the number would be frightening.

"hiss"

Kaudelin's mouth was almost open, and his eyes were filled with awe.

As they were talking, the two came to the exit of the dungeon, which was the warden's room.

The door was half open, and there were four people inside: a warden, two jailers, and a shivering young maid.

Only one skirt was seen on the four people, and it was worn by the maid.

“Who is this guy?”

"He is Alais's confidant. There is no need for us to be alarmed."

Before he finished his words, the dagger at the side of Rosen's leg flew into the room automatically, and there were a few "puff puff" sounds as the sharp blade entered the flesh.

When Codlin followed in, three of the four were dead, each with a stab wound in the back of the head, and the maid was lying unconscious on the ground.

"Knight, put on the warden's equipment quickly."

Kaudrin was secretly shocked by the young lord's methods, but he moved quickly and quickly put on the warden's equipment.

Among them was a pair of pigskin boots, the same pair he used to wear.

Soon, Kaudrin got a rusty iron sword, a thick leather shield, and a set of worn leather armor, which greatly increased his confidence.

"Lord, even if the truly loyal brothers have surrendered, they are not being used. They are either patrolling or standing guard. We have to go to the edge of the castle to find them."

Rosen was naturally not as familiar with the interpersonal relationships among the island knights as Codlin, so he naturally followed the expert's advice at this time.

"You lead the way, and we'll go there in stealth."

So, Kaudrin took Rosen and quietly gathered allies in the Crescent Castle.

As they moved quietly, Alais suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.

He immediately found his magic expert: "Makanha, I feel something is wrong, let's do a fortune-telling."

Makanha shrugged: "Lord, I have taken divination early this morning, and everything is normal today."

Alais became more and more annoyed: "I'll let you take it, hurry up."

"Okay, as you wish."

Makanha took out the divination turtle back and dice, and after saying a lot of divination words, he threw the dice into the turtle back.

"Lord, look, three sixes, today is a rare good day."

"I don't believe it. Come again."

Makanha had to try again: "Three sixes again."

Alais became more and more panicked. He turned around a few times like a trapped animal, and suddenly shouted to his confidant: "Go, bring my sister and niece to me!"

"Yes, lord."

The confidant went over immediately, and about a quarter of an hour later, he hurried back: "Lord, it's bad, the person is missing."

Alais stood up in shock: "What do you mean? How could it be that it can't be found?"

The confidant was also confused: "I just can't find it. I've searched every corner, but it's not there. It's like it was eaten by a dragon."

Ales was angry and shocked, and a light suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Could it be that the eldest son of the Baron has returned? And sneaked into the castle?"

Thinking of this, he decisively ran into the room to get the potion.

As a result, when he took it, he found that the medicine he relied on most was missing.

He was so frightened that he shuddered violently and almost wet his pants on the spot.

When he turned around, he immediately let out a loud roar.

"Enemy attack~~~~"
