"Yes, I understand, princess.
Accompanied by Lin Peng and Papa, Lei Na went straight to Brandon to meet the Marquis Donkin.
It's late at night, but human life is at stake, so it's not time to consider all the procedures.
Night fell.
Although Lin Qing and his group were worried about staying overnight, they found a small inn and grabbed dinner immediately.
"Those peddlers we met during the day. Aren't they more mercenaries than merchants?"
Hearing Zhang Xun's words, Roger nodded.
"Even I thought so, the mercenaries tended to be unidentified, but seemed to be pretty good at it. Also, they were driving an expensive trailer, which was weird, so I got rid of them pretty quickly."
Lin Qing, who was eating, agreed with the two without saying a word.
"In that trailer, there must be a titan.
Disguised as goods, wrapped in thick cloth, but could not conceal the unique flow of mana.
I don't know what they want to do, but pretending to be businessmen and inviting five titans, this is not a normal situation for 23.
"Besides, they deliberately stand in front of us, so maybe..."
Lin Qing suddenly remembered a story she overheard.
It was a conversation between Hans and other retainers, and it was about the titan accident that put the young lord's life in danger, and it was said that someone did it.
The person responsible for causing the accident was found dead in a neighboring estate, so not much help was offered to clarify the matter.
"Are those assassins sent for me?"
They might be the ones who have a grudge against Jang Hoon or Roger, but it's not just him.
But for some reason, Lin Qing always felt that she was the one targeted.
Then it is the right choice to leave as soon as possible before those people do it.
Of course, if those people are targeting a group of three, it won't be too far away, and it's better to act quickly than to spend the night in an inn.
"But, when Titan sent high-level mercenaries, was it really to kill the young master of the manor who did nothing?"
Lin Qing, who was analyzing the situation by himself, suddenly sensed an abnormal flow of mana, which made him jump up from his seat in fright.
"What is it, young lord?"
"We need to get out of here!"
"Um?"
Roger jumped up from his seat, grabbed the dazed Zhang Xun, and dragged him to the back door.
Although he was not as influential as Lin Qing, he still had experience as a knight general, and he also noticed that there was something wrong with the young lord's expression.
Light!
"What, what's the matter with you?"
As soon as he went out through the back door, the front door was shattered, and heavily armed masked men swarmed in.
The idiot who took the lead, no, was Geer who ordered the assassination of the target with a sword.
"Look around and find that young master!"
"Yes!"
It was the Shadow Knight sent by the Earl of the Monarch.
On the way to Lokan, they encountered Lin Qing during the day, and they launched an attack at night.
"Crack!"
"Help, save me... ah! ah!"
As Geer's order fell, the shadow knights began to swing their swords regardless of their identities.
The dinner guests in the dining room, the sleeping people in the room, and the cooks in the kitchen were all killed by them.
Just because they are in the same place as Lin Qing, and they don't even have any relationship with him.
"Captain Gale, I don't see them anywhere..."
"Crack!"
There was a scream from behind the inn.
However, the screams?? were neither guests nor targets, but came from the mouths of the shadow knights surrounding the inn.
"Tch, are they lost?"
Hearing the screams of his men, Geer went out after ordering the others to light up the inn to destroy the evidence.
Judging from the sounds from the clash of weapons, Lin Qing and his party were fighting the Shadow Knights with swords in the dark.
"Captain, these people are not joking!"
"If you have time to talk, go and swing your sword!"
Luo Jie is a master, and Zhang Xun is an intermediate master, but he failed to break through them.
Although they are only fighting to protect Lin Qing, the Shadow Knights are very talented.
Among the guys close to them, although the level is low, there are more than three who have reached the level of the strong, and more than a dozen are swordsmen.
Worst of all, titan is waiting for them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"This, this is good!"
"Everyone close your eyes!"
Hearing Lin Qing's cry, although Luo Jie and Zhang Xun were puzzled, they still closed their eyes.
At the same time, Lin Qing used magic.
"Sun, shine in the dark!"
A dazzling flash shot out from Lin Qing's hand.
It's a very simple flash magic, but all the shadow knights who are used to seeing the dark alleys have a flash of surprise in their eyes.
"Crack!"
"My eyes, I can't see!"
The titan riders were also blinded for a moment; the titan also stopped moving.
"That's it, let's get out of here!"
"Ah, damn it! Catch 'em!"
Lin Qing and his group pushed away the entangled Shadow Knights.
Geer, who was one step late, saw how pathetic his men's performance was.
"You bastards! Are you all cursed? What the hell are those wizards doing?!"
The Order of Shadow Knights includes five mercenary mages to help maintain the titan.
"That, that... there is no information that the target has a wizard, so we don't need to use magic"
"Shut up! I don't have time to listen to your useless excuses, you go after them and solve them immediately!"
Geer's men began to search for the traces left by Lin Qing and his party when they escaped.
"It's really amazing, young master."
"That's authentic. That's really confident."
Both Roger and Lin Qing were admiring Lin Qing's preparation.
The same is true for other wizards, but they didn't expect Lin Qing to use magic.
They knew he was not a wizard, and they were all startled when they saw Lin Qing use magic suddenly.
"The trick you just used was a magic spell, right?"
"General, I assure you, our young master will definitely become a rune knight."
"If you have the energy to talk, run faster!"
Lin Qing and his group ran down the mountain.
Perhaps there is a better hiding place than the plains, and the chasing opponents will have some trouble.
However, there was a problem they hadn't thought of.
It is easy to avoid enemies, but it takes a lot of energy.
Both Zhang Xun and Luo Jie are master knights, and they have extraordinary physical strength after training, while Lin Qing has just strengthened his body with magic crystals.
But it is not easy to get rid of the riders who are chasing after them.
Knights are great at tracking and searching, as are dirty assassins.
"that's it!"
"Damn, these guys are really good!"
Facing the pursuit of the Shadow Knights, Zhang Xun trembled all over.
Roger pushed forward with a determined face.
"We will buy you some time. The young master should avoid them first."
