Chapter Fourteen: The Castle in the Snow

"Captain, we still have no way to get through this jungle before it gets dark."

Outside the jungle, deputy captain Enbo was talking to "Muxi".

"Muxi" looked at the map drawn in the past half month. Most of the directions had been explored. With the knight's equipment, although two people still died during the period, they were quickly completed.

"Gather the knights and go straight. When darkness comes, stay on guard. Wait until the night passes and move on. Enbo, you know the character of the earl. If we can't find the castle, we will all die."

These words interrupted Enbo's attempt to warn that the dark night was too dangerous.

Every time he went back, he could see that the count was getting angrier day by day, and it seemed that the Grand Duke of Troxi was going to send a knight to inspect the place.

Although he didn't know the relationship between the two, the dangers of the night were definitely not as scary as the count.

As long as the 30 of them gathered tightly together in the dark night, what kind of wild beasts would they have to fear?

It got dark and they waited outside all day.

Early the next day.

30 people walked in under the leadership of captain "Muxi".

There was a glimmer of light in the jungle in the early morning, and the crisp sound of birdsong made the knight who had been tense for many days relax at once, breathing in the natural breath greedily.

"Phew, it feels so good after taking off the mask. I can breathe freely."

Suddenly.

The eyes of the knight team began to change. Many knights glanced at the knight who spoke, then at the captain, then lowered their heads and continued walking forward.

Chichi chichichi——

I don’t know how long I walked, but the road behind me was no longer visible.

There is only the same jungle ahead.

Although they had been marking the way they came, none of them went back to check the marks.

And the marks set by the knights have been secretly erased by the free men.

When 30 knights stepped into the jungle, they either became free partners or became free souls killed by the sword.

Feel the warmth of the sun.

"Muxi" raised his hand.

"Stop, rest where you are, watch the surroundings, prepare lunch, and replenish your strength."

The short and easy-to-understand command was conveyed.

A knight took out the hard bread, took a bite and sighed: "Sure enough, you can only feel freedom when you eat bread."

free...

The atmosphere became a little weird again.

Except for a few people who knew about it, everyone else thought it was too hot. Although it was a snowy day, the clothes under the silver armor were already soaked through after walking all morning.

"I feel so relaxed after taking off my silver armor."

Several people ate the bread with their hands, and then started eating it as if nothing had happened.

Free and easy.

[I will come to save you soon. Thank you, captain, for leading us to find the direction of life.]

A few free-thinking people bite the hard bread in their hands, just like gnawing on the shackles of resistance to fate, trying to break the shackles and find true freedom.

Half an hour later.

The team set off again.

Thin and rustling——

"Mu Xi" who was walking at the front moved his ears slightly, stopped and shouted: "Alert, the wild beast is coming."

Soon, a 2-meter-large snake as thick as a bowl appeared in front of the knight.

The coiled strong snake body allows the knights to feel the hidden power.

Hiss——

Snake Xinzi kept spitting out.

"Mu Xi" looked at him warily, secretly took a few steps back, then raised his silver sword high and said majestically: "Come together, kill the evil snake."

"Come on."

Under the chaos of swords.

Two knights died because of the poison, and the snake had been divided into pieces.

"keep going!"

The 28 people also cheered up and walked forward.

They walked out of the jungle until the sun was about to set.

"Keep going, don't stop, eat the food on the way!"

The knights looked solemn and walked forward while eating hard bread.

swish swish——

Snow fell in the sky.

"It's just bad weather."

The snow fell harder, accompanied by a cold wind, which made them shiver uncontrollably.

Quack quack——

The cries of crows along the way also made "Muxi" uncontrollably annoyed.

At this time, a castle standing in the wind and snow appeared at the end of the sight, looking solemn and solemn in the setting light!

"Muxi" was also very excited at this time.

[This is the Castle of the Grand Duke of Troxi from 200 years ago, Dad, I found it!]

"Captain, is this the count's goal?"

The vice-captain also saw "Mu Xi's" hands trembling with excitement, and after thinking about it, he asked this question.

He didn't understand why an abandoned castle was worth searching for so long and cost four knights.

"Enbo, do you want real freedom?"

"Captain, what do you mean by this? As a knight, how can we say the word freedom? We are responsible for maintaining the dignity of the earl!"

At this time, Enbo became quiet. He thought of the captain's strange behavior along the way and the freedom that those knights spoke of from time to time.

Then he looked at some knights and faintly walking behind "Mu Xi", looking at him with a strange light in their eyes.

Gulu——

En Bo couldn't help but swallow his saliva, trying to relieve his tension.

"team leader..."

"Mu Xi" took a step forward, raised his arms and shouted to the knight behind him.

"I know you, you are all lost lambs, you are all lambs living under the count, your souls are confused and not free, but this is not right.

We should be free, why should we take orders from the Count!"

Then "Muxi" stretched out his hand and pointed to the castle under the moonlight. The castle looked quiet and beautiful under the drifting wind and snow. It was so beautiful that the knights were stunned.

"Do you know why the count asked us to find this castle?"

"Muxi" glanced at the knights with confusion in their eyes and shouted loudly: "Because this castle is the Grand Duke's Castle of Troxi! It contains the secret of becoming a Grand Duke!

The Earl of Marrobik is greedy. He wants to monopolize this secret. He wants to enslave us for generations and make our descendants slaves of his Marrobik family.

But why should we be enslaved by him when we are free, and why can’t we ourselves become Grand Dukes?”

The knights' breathing suddenly became heavier.

"For the great cause, freedom will never be destroyed!"

Enbo was startled, and his heart felt cold when he saw the slogans shouted by the knights. What was even more frightening was that people who were also shouting slogans walked out of the jungle.

"For the great cause, freedom will never be destroyed!"

"Team, Captain, do you want to betray Count Malobik?"

"Mushi" ignored Enbo and looked at the free people.

"We are all free men now, but he."

"Muxi" pointed at Enbo and shouted in grief: "Our knight vice-captain, he wants to drag us back into the slavery of Malobik, shall we agree?"

"No, no, no!"

The free men looked at the angry crowd.

"Muxi" smiled, took out his dagger and raised it high.

"Now we must kill this person who threatens us and give the traitorous vice-captain a blow with this dagger!"
