Chapter 146 Afterwards

The black city stretches over a large area on the mountainous terrain, with dots of red and yellow lights shining in it.

This night, no one in Highland City slept well.

The sound of fighting in the two manors in the west and north of the city has been echoing in their minds. Although the fighting only lasted for less than half an hour, it was extremely spectacular and tragic.

When more than two hundred knights covered in blood, with intestines and minced meat hanging on their armor, walked through the street.

An indescribable feeling spread to the chest, and the throat seemed to be choked, unable to spit out or swallow.

I felt extremely uncomfortable both mentally and physically at the same time.

Some people realized for the first time the strength and cruelty of the Soros family, the top family in Campas Province.

Some people understood for the first time the horror of knights and what humanoid beasts are.

When Big and Little Jack saw the knight downstairs through the window again, there was no stubbornness on his face anymore.

They saw bullet marks and black gunpowder on the red and black heavy armor, and they almost all appeared on the front, either on the chest, mask, or neck...

There are many holes in the heavy armor, even as big as a fist, and you can clearly see the bloody flesh inside.

But its owner didn't care at all and was still joking with his companions next to him.

"The Soros family, knights..." Little Jack completely forgot about his cannon and kept repeating these two words, his eyes radiating with longing.

It wasn't until all the Soros family knights left the city and completely disappeared from everyone's sight that the Public Security Bureau came out to maintain order and clean up the blood stains on the streets.

"City Lord Ryan, how should we deal with what happened today?" Connor, the city defense officer, motioned to the soldiers downstairs to close the city door and turned to ask Ryan next to him.

"What else can we do? Send someone to the capital to inform His Majesty and the Council and let them have a headache."

"But……"

"Stop it, you're just a janitor and I'm a tax collector. Why do you worry so much?" Ryan knew his position very well and didn't want to get involved.

In Highland City, in the province of Campas, he is a mascot and peacemaker representing the empire.

Everyone can give themselves face or not, it all depends on their methods.

But in the face of traditional nobles like Soros, it is their business whether to give him face or not.

He didn't want to mess with the Soros family without the sense of humor.

…………

Lu He was having a midnight snack, and next to him, the butler Jose was reporting the results of the battle to him.

The late night snacks are very rich, including roast chicken, steak, roast suckling pig and other side dishes.

His body is still growing and needs to replenish a lot of energy every day, so he eats at least four meals a day.

This made Lu He very annoyed and he ate it every day, like a pig.

But there is no other way, this is the only way for now.

"Except for a few of Stuart's direct descendants who were not in Highland City, everyone else, including two knights, were killed."

"Many people in the Corif family escaped. They have a secret tunnel in the cellar that leads to the outside of the city."

"When we found out, no one could be found. Judging from the direction, they should have fled to the Sarus Federation."

"In their manor, we found more than 200,000 and 170,000 in cash respectively, as well as a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as some bank deposit certificates, company securities, etc."

Bang!

The sound of smashing plates interrupted Butler Jose.

"No... I'm sorry." Seeing everyone looking at her, Selya's face turned red and she stammered.

She was frightened by the words of the housekeeper Jose. According to the current market price of more than 200,000 gold coins, without a middleman, she would have to go without food and drink for hundreds of years to earn it.

"Move the money and antiques back, and transfer the bank deposit certificates and company shares to the name of the Soros family." Lu He ordered.

"Master, some people may not recognize this." Butler Jose frowned.

For large customers, many banks or companies not only look at documents, but also look at their faces to ensure that they are all right.

"Is there such a good thing?" Lu He tore off a piece of chicken leg meat and chewed it.

Now everyone knows that the Stuart and Corif families were destroyed by the Soros family. If someone dares to swallow his things without knowing the rules, then he will be rude.

"As for the people who escaped from the two families, find the killer organization Chapter of Shadows and offer them a gold coin to see if they will accept the business." Lu He thought for a while and said.

"...Yes." Butler Jose replied helplessly.

The head of the family is still brooding about the last assassination. For a gold coin, isn’t that the Disgusting Shadow Chapter?

I just don’t know how this killer organization will react.

Lu He didn't care what his reaction was, whether he accepted it or not, he was going to start this organization anyway.

He checked the details of this organization today, and there should be five more knight-level extraordinary ones.

This strength is not bad and the Soros family can deal with it.

The most important thing is that there are no sky knights above the knight level. It is said that there were before, but since Chaofan began to retreat, there has never been a sky knight in the Chapter of Shadows.

The Heavenly Knight is the realm of further advancement to the extraordinary level of knights in this world.

The fourth and seventh generation heads of the Soros family have reached this state and have detailed records of this state.

One of the signs is the ability to fly, not physically, but to control energy.

The second sign is the field energy field, which forms a field of more than ten meters in diameter around the body, which can be defended and attacked.

The third sign is to control energy. This control is different from the Knight level. The Knight level mainly controls the energy of the flesh and blood in the body, but the Sky Knight controls the energy of heaven and earth.

Lu He analyzed the characteristics of these three Sky Knights and concluded that this realm should correspond to the first and second levels divided by wizards.

Mainly the third point. The wizard's division of the second and first levels mainly depends on whether they can use external energy freely.

But the difference is that the second level can control all the basic energy in nature, such as fire, wind, water, earth, etc.

And the Sky Knight seems to be able to control only a kind of energy called Arthur energy according to records.

So Lu He thinks it is from the first to the second level.

Maybe in some worlds, the Sky Knight is a standard second level, without any water.

It's just that according to the wizard's standards, it's still a little bit worse.

As for what realm is above the Sky Knight, Lu He is not sure and has not found relevant records.

Because with the inexplicable retreat of Chaofan, this world has not seen a strong man who surpasses the Sky Knight for a long time.

Even the Sky Knight is very rare.

The huge Crescent Empire, with an area of ​​more than 5 million square kilometers and a population of hundreds of millions, has only one Sky Knight in public.

He is the current president of the Noble Council.

As for whether there are still others in secret, it is not clear. There is a high probability that there are some, but Lu He estimates that there are only one or two at most.

The upper limit of the world given by the Eye of Inheritance is the fourth level. According to the standards of the previous Earth, there must be third-level strongmen in this world. Even if there are none now, there must have been in the past.

So how to practice in the future, Lu He must plan well, and can't be as reckless as on Earth.

Of course, don't be too timid.

When he recovers the strength of a first-level wizard, even a Sky Knight may not be able to beat him.

It is reasonable for him to jump 0.5 levels with the wizard heritage.

In addition, it is important to find out the real reason for the extraordinary retreat in this world.

Lu He is worried that it will affect his own promotion in the future.
