……
Leila stepped down from behind the magic array at the sentry post on the city wall, and applause erupted around her.
"Lady Leila, you are becoming more and more proficient in operating the magic circle array."
"Yes, Lady Leila was so cool just now. She took down nine demon bats all by herself in just two or three seconds."
The surrounding knights praised it.
Leila was both happy and a little embarrassed:
"Thank you everyone for letting me practice every day."
"No, no, no, we're just looking forward to resting."
"Yes, yes, Lady Leila is the only officer who is willing to fight monsters with us."
Everyone spoke one after another.
Leila became even more embarrassed, her face turning bright red under her helmet, feeling that she had received an undeserved compliment.
After all, she was only fighting the demon bats for her master's sake.
"Thank you all for your hard work tonight. Except for those on guard duty, everyone else can leave."
Leila said with a smile.
The crowd cheered and prepared to disperse.
Suddenly, a deep red pillar of light rose from a nearby alley, accompanied by a long, drawn-out dragon roar.
The dragon's roar wasn't very loud, but the people on the city wall weren't far away, so they could hear it clearly.
"Lady Leila, I will take people to investigate immediately."
A woman with long brown hair stepped forward and spoke.
She was the woman from the knight order that Luo Xiu and the others met when they entered the city that day, and now she had been transferred to work under Miler.
But to everyone's surprise, Leila shook her head:
"It's alright, I'll go. You guys go and rest."
The group exchanged bewildered glances. Although they had always thought Leila was a good person, they hadn't expected her to be this good.
The boss helps the subordinate with work, and it's work at night.
The woman with long brown hair looked somewhat hesitant.
"Lady Leila, it's really a bit much for you to go alone... I'll go with you."
"No, I'll go alone."
Leila's attitude was very firm.
She took off her helmet, revealing short, crisp chestnut hair, a pair of round, upright ears, and a cute, youthful face, and looked in the direction of the beam of light.
She had to go alone to do this, because she realized that the dragon's roar must have come from Tassanya.
Tassanya must have... advanced.
Chapter 125 Goodbye Nika (Part 2)
Forcibly dismissing the others and sending them home, Leila ran towards the direction of the deep red pillar of light.
By this time, the place had attracted quite a few onlookers, especially the sorcerers who seemed to be going crazy every day.
Seeing this sudden strange phenomenon, they thought it was a call from some primal bloodline.
Some sorcerers who believed their original bloodline was that of the dragon race heard the long, drawn-out dragon roar and even ran to the alley entrance, kneeling and praying before the red pillar of light in the alley.
Leila stepped forward and said coldly:
"When the Knights are in charge, everyone should give way."
She deliberately lowered her voice, trying to create an authoritative impression, but her soft voice clashed with the cold tone, causing the people around her to burst into laughter.
Some onlookers shouted:
"Sir, are children allowed to join the Knights now?"
"Sir, are those round ears on your head a new hair accessory?"
"Sir, come with me, I have some candy."
Helpless, Leila could only put the silver helmet she was holding back on. At the same time, her hands, which were covered by the armor, instantly transformed into two giant silver claws, which she then looked at the crowd.
The surrounding noise instantly fell silent.
"Silver, the Silver Witch."
Someone spoke, their voice trembling.
Wow! !
These words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly causing an uproar among the crowd.
"Sir, I'm sorry! I was wrong. I... I just drank the wrong medicine and was talking nonsense."
"Sir, I have something to attend to at home, so I'll be leaving now."
Have a pleasant evening.
"..."
The crowd scattered in all directions.
Leila without her helmet might not be recognized by many, but Leila with her helmet on and two giant silver claws is a household name.
During this time, Leila patrolled the streets every day, and for any criminals who violated the Canril Convention, Leila would slap them all down with a single blow.
These iconic silver-white giant claws left a deep impression on the nearby residents. In addition, Leila has always been fair and impartial, and is very friendly to everyone except criminals. With this mixture of awe and goodwill, the name "Silver Witch" spread before our eyes.
Of course, not everyone is afraid of the Silver Witch.
For example, those sorcerers kneeling on the ground only believe in their own inner faith, which is difficult to sway, and they continue to pray.
Leila didn't interfere any further; these sorcerers were simply unyielding.
Most of them have gone a bit mad, but that's the advantage—you don't have to worry about them leaking the information, because nobody will believe it anyway.
Leila walked through the sorcerers and into the alley.
As soon as she entered, she heard heavy breathing, like someone straining to pull a bellows. Although heavy, it was not weak; on the contrary, it gave people a strong and powerful feeling.
After walking about one or two hundred meters further into the alley, a tall, humanoid creature came into Leila's view.
The creature was extremely tall, its entire body covered in hard, red scales. Its knees were concave, and its joints were the opposite of those of a normal person, covered with sharp barbs. It had a thick, deep red tail, and a white cloth bag lay at its feet.
"Pain, kill, pain..."
The creature emitted indistinct sounds from its protruding short snout, its entire body exuding a violent aura.
As Leila arrived, the creature turned its head, its scarlet eyes fixed on Leila, as if trying to figure out who she really was.
Leila stood quietly in place. The master's servants had absolute control over the servants, so she didn't need to worry about what Tassanya would do to her.
She was a half-orc, and had similarities with the dragon bloodline. She knew that Tassanya was currently suffering from a rapid reversion of her ancestral bloodline and the resulting mental confusion after her advancement. Whether she could overcome this challenge ultimately depended on herself.
Finally, after a series of heavy breaths, the creature opened its mouth, and Tassanya's voice came from its throat:
"Lei, Lady Leila."
boom.
Tassanya knelt on one knee, his knee slamming into the ground and creating a large crater.
Leila smiled brightly:
"Congratulations, Tassanya, you have successfully entered the fourth tier, and judging from your current appearance, your bloodline should have advanced once again."
"It is all thanks to my master that Tassanya has come this far."
Tassanya spoke up.
Leila nodded in agreement:
"Of course, it's all because of the master."
"How did you get here? Didn't your master come with you?"
Tassanya then suddenly remembered that she had come to deliver a gift. The deep red scales on her body faded, revealing her true appearance. She quickly picked up the white cloth bag that had fallen to the ground and said:
"Lady Leila, Tassanya originally came to deliver something to you, but on the way... Tassanya failed in her mission, please forgive her, Lady Leila."
"This is a gift from the master to you and Milair."
Upon hearing this, Leila happily took the white cloth bag, turned around, and said to Tassanya:
"You must be hungry. Come to the Knights' Order for a late-night snack."
……
Milair tossed the parchment roll aside, rubbed his darkened eyes, and sighed.
Ever since Luo Xiu told her about that new idea, she thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more likely.
There must be a traitor within the Knights, otherwise how could they have searched until now without finding a single clue?
Just yesterday, three more people went missing in Kanriel.
The speed is getting faster and faster.
But after secretly investigating for a while, she still couldn't find out who the mole in the Knights was.
First of all, this person could not be an ordinary member of the Knights, otherwise he would not have been able to bypass the eyes of the Knights and hide all the clues.
At the same time, this person is most likely someone who participated in the search operation for the missing, so that they can grasp all the movements of the Knights as quickly as possible.
So, there were five deputy team leaders involved in the search: the third, fifth, sixth, and tenth ranked, and then there was her, the seventh ranked.
First, exclude the seventh position.
But she had no clue about the remaining four.
"so hard……"
