No one expected Lulunaka to appear. She just sat on the roof of the carriage.
Before she made a sound, no one noticed her.
She sat on the high ground, so she could clearly see the tragic scene on the ground.
The servants who died miserably, the mercenaries who died under the knight's sneak attack, everyone had a shocked expression on their faces, unable to close their eyes.
Those who had their heads cut in half, their faces cut into several pieces, did not even have the chance to leave behind an expression before they died, because their faces were already cut into pieces.
This terrifying scene could make people who had never seen a massacre have nightmares, and those who were weaker might have already screamed or vomited.
Only those who had experienced battle, those who had a strong will, could stand in this nightmarish scene.
Only Lulunaka was abnormal.
She appeared silently, and before she spoke, no one noticed her existence. Even Silver-ranked warriors like Olga and Padding did not notice her.
She just sat there, smiling like a flower, as if she was watching a good show, and when it reached the most exciting part, she could not help but shout out.
Or it could be said that she was laughing softly because the actors on the stage made a mistake, and pointed out the mistake, but she did not intend to make a noise, and was just talking to herself.
Romuona looked at Lulunaka like this, and felt strange and terrifying.
The Lulunaka in front of her was no different from the Lulunaka she knew. Her dress, appearance, and smile all showed that she was the friend who had already said goodbye to each other.
But in this kind of scene, the Lulunaka who looked the same as usual was the biggest abnormality.
When this young girl saw this scene, she should have screamed, fainted, or run away, but she did not.
She sat there, with a smile on her face, looking down at everyone.
She sat behind the crowd in the best seat, as if she was an audience member who was watching a wonderful play.
"Lulunaka …" Romuona looked at Lulunaka, and softly called her name.
The carriage was quite a distance away from her, and her voice was very soft, so it sounded like she was talking to herself, just talking to herself.
Lulunaka shouldn't have heard it, but she did.
Lulunaka waved to Romuona. "We meet again, Miss Romuona. As I said before, maybe we'll meet again one day. But I didn't expect that my wish would come true in less than half a day.
But with the current situation, I don't know if I should be happy or not. "
Speaking of this, Lulunaka seemed to have thought of something important. She reached out and touched her back. "Oh, right, I almost forgot something important."
She took out a few items from behind her and tossed them into the air, which landed at the feet of the knights in front of her.
Those were the heads of four mercenaries.
The four heads were connected by each other's dirty and messy long hair. Hair of different hair colors and lengths were braided together into three connected braids. It looked funny, but it was not funny.
The four mercenaries who were connected together had a despicable smile on their faces. Their expressions were frozen at this moment, as if they didn't know that their heads had been cut off.
"The last four missing pieces of the puzzle known as murder have returned."
Lulunaka threw down the four connected heads, and clapped her hands as if she was patting the dust off her hands.
"Aren't you guys too careless?
Is it because it's your first time doing such a dishonorable and dirty thing, so you're a little nervous and don't know how many people you're going to kill before you act? "Lulunaka sighed, but her face was immediately filled with a smile.
"But you guys are lucky, because I've helped you to get rid of the remaining troublesome people.
I think it's quite difficult to hunt down the four escaped mercenaries.
If the four escaped back to the North, then it's still okay.
The worst case scenario is that there might be some strange rumors in the King's Castle.
Now, those who know the truth are all here, and most of them have shut their mouths and can't speak anymore. But those who are standing now, their mouths and eyes are still open. "
Speaking of this, Lurunaka patted her head. "I almost forgot. I'm the one who's sitting here."
Some of the knights aimed their bows and crossbows at Lulunaka.
They were silent, but their faces were full of vigilance.
Half of the knights who surrounded Olga and the others pointed their weapons at Lulunaka.
Padding changed his position, turning sideways to put Lulunaka and Olga in his line of sight.
His cross sword was no longer aimed at Olga, but tilted to the ground. The tip of the sword swayed slightly, slightly to the left, Lulunaka, and to the right, Olga.
"You're not someone who should be here." Padding said.
"Yes, of course, there's no doubt about it."
Lulunaka faced the weapons pointed at her, but she didn't panic at all. "To you, now I'm also one of the pieces of the puzzle.
Since you won't let the old man and the young man go, then naturally you won't let me go, an unfortunate girl who coincidentally witnessed this murder. "
"You killed those mercenaries," Leon said. He held a long sword in his hand and slowly approached Lurunaka.
Lulunaka waved her hands. "I didn't do it.
But it can be considered as me killing them, right?
If they didn't leave the team because of some dirty thoughts, and turned back to my little wooden house to do some bad things, they would probably die later.
It probably won't be too late, because they will definitely die in the hands of the knights. "
Leon gestured to the knights behind him.
The knights understood tacitly, loosened the bowstrings of the short bows in their hands, and pulled the triggers of the crossbows. Slender iron arrows and short crossbow bolts shot out.
Padding's eyes widened. "Stop!" He shouted.
But it was too late, the arrows had already been shot.
Three iron arrows and two crossbow bolts flew towards Lulunaka's body, and the more accurate ones flew towards her head.
The feathers at the end of the arrows cut through the air, leaving a series of whooshing sounds.
Arrows were very fast and sharp weapons.
A high-quality bow and crossbow, coupled with a skilled user, could shoot a fast and fatal arrow or several arrows.
When the sound of the arrow cutting through the air was heard, the arrow was usually inserted into the target's body.
If the target was a living creature with a physical body, the sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh could be heard.
When Romuona heard the sound of the arrow's tail, she shuddered and closed her eyes in fright.
She had seen too much killing today, and no longer wanted to see someone she knew die in front of her eyes.
Even if she closed her eyes, she could almost see Lulunaka's miserable death with arrows in her body.
After Romuona closed her eyes, she did not hear the sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh.
Whether it was an iron arrow or a crossbow bolt, the arrowhead was made of heavy iron with a sharp triangular head. When such a weapon pierced into a human body, the sound of tearing was similar to the sound of a sword cutting into a human body.
But Romuona did not hear the sound of iron tearing flesh. After a period of silence, there was a commotion among the knights.
She opened her eyes and saw the unharmed Lulunaka, the dazed knights, Padding with a gloomy face, and Olga who seemed to be thinking about something.
There was also Julius, who had his eyes wide open and looked like a fool.
"What happened?" Romuona asked, "She's still alive, but those arrows …"
"I don't know."
Julius replied, wiping the sweat on his forehead, his throat moving a few times, "I only saw a black shadow flash in front of the witch, and then … nothing happened, and the arrows disappeared."
"Witch." Romuona heard a word that should not be here, "Who's a witch?"
Julius looked at Romuona with a strange expression, as if Romuona had asked a very stupid question, "Who else could it be?
There are only two women here, one is you, the other is her.
Do you think you're a witch?
Of course not, then the witch I'm talking about, who else could it be? "
Julius' voice was loud enough for Lulunaka to hear.
"The young man over there, I'm an alchemist, not a witch."
Lulunaka raised her wooden cane and pointed it at Julius, "Have you ever seen a witch as young as me?"
"The old people in the village said that witches can stay young forever by eating the flesh of babies and children …" Julius said in a very low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by Lulunaka.
Lulunaka heard Julius' whisper and helplessly shook her head. It seemed that she did not intend to persuade Julius to give up his impression of her.
"Dear knights," she said, "You've made a bad choice.
Didn't I just say it?
I didn't kill these mercenaries with my own hands, it was my dear, but not lovely guardian who did it. It's a bit wrong to say it like that, should I say it's her feet or her mouth? "
She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and finally gave up, "It doesn't seem to be accurate."
The knights of the Church looked around, vigilant of everything around them.
Just now, a black shadow swept past Lulunaka and swept away the arrow that was flying towards Lulunaka. No one could see clearly what it was.
This black shadow, just like Lulunaka, appeared without warning and then disappeared without a trace.
Only two of the knights could barely see the outline of the black shadow.
"Watch out below and above, it's something like a beast!" Padding shouted.
His shout caused the knights to react, but it was too late.
The black shadow darted out from the low bushes and flew towards the knight closest to it.
The knight closest to the black shadow had just turned his head, but the black shadow had already passed by him and fell into the forest on the other side.
No one could see clearly what the black shadow was.
To the others, it was as if the knight and the black shadow had just brushed past each other, as if nothing had happened.
After the black shadow disappeared again, the knight stood there, motionless.
His eyes were wide open, as if he was frightened.
Then, his head fell off.
His head fell into the ground, a large amount of blood spurted out from his neck, and his body followed his head and fell to the ground.
Blood spurted out from the severed neck and dyed the ground beneath him a bright red.
Seeing the death of their comrade, the knights of the Church became restless.
The knights who had already dismounted walked towards the ones closest to them, back to back, nervously looking around.
The knights who were still on their horses kept turning their horses around to look around, and at the same time, they had to tighten the reins to calm down their restless horses.
The knights' companions looked uneasy, their mouths kept neighing, their noses enlarged, and puffed out hot air.
They were afraid, but their loyalty to their masters and their previous training kept them from running away.
"How do the mercenaries die?
Just like this, but they're slower, so they die with a smile on their face.
That's not a bad way to die, right? "Lulunaka smiled, this bloody scene did not seem to move her at all.
Julius cried out in shock, "His head fell off!
What kind of sorcery is this? "
"It's not sorcery."
Olga said, his eyes narrowed into slender shapes, "It was cut off.
Before the paladin could react, he was already dead.
Maybe he didn't even feel pain. "
"If it's not sorcery, then what is it?" Julius continued to ask.
Olga did not answer immediately, "I don't know what it is, maybe it's a beast, maybe it's..." He did not continue, his tone sounded uncertain.
The black shadow's silhouette was definitely not human, but if it was a beast, there were many suspicious points.
Olga had been to many places, met many people, and killed many beasts and magical beasts.
He had killed magic beasts that were famous for their speed. They were very difficult to deal with, but they had also increased Olga's knowledge and experience. At the same time, Olga had become stronger.
No matter how agile a beast was, it should not be able to leave such a wound on a human.
The knight's neck had been separated from his body, the bright red section was very smooth, like a piece of paper that had been cut with a pair of sharp scissors.
No matter how sharp the claws were, it should not be able to do such a delicate job.
Even if Olga were to do this, she probably wouldn't be able to do it better than this.
What kind of beast could do something that even humans couldn't do?
Because of this question, Olga could not be sure if it was a beast or not.
Lulunaka's appearance caused the situation to develop in an unpredictable direction, Olga could not determine if this suspicious girl was a friend or foe.
Even in such a situation, Lurunaka still maintained her usual smile, which made people feel very strange.
Olga did not have many choices, even if it was the worst idea, he had to try.
"Lulunaka, please help us, help your friend Miss Romuona!" He shouted at Lulunaka.
Lulunaka did not answer.
She pointed at the four mercenaries' heads, "Help... Maybe you should thank them?
If they did not appear near my house and wanted to do something bad to me, I probably would not have brought their heads here, at least not before everything was over.
Originally, I would have been far away, watching my poor friend, Miss Romuona's body leave the Forest of the Dead.
Everything has changed because of these four pitiful bastards. "
Lulunaka's words made Olga's heart turn cold.
Lulunaka's meaning was very clear, she did not care about the life or death of the people here, even if they were her friends — No matter what her purpose was, at least one thing was certain: she did not come for Romuona.
Hearing Lulunaka's words, Romuona's face was very obviously shaken.
This gentle and kind girl, who was a little restrained when she was with her, but cheerful, suddenly seemed to have become a stranger.
Did she think too highly of herself, that this friendship was too important? Did she think too highly of herself?
Actually, the other party did not see this short friendship as anything special, and did not even care about her life or death.
"Miss Romuona, please don't show such a sad expression." Lulunaka smiled at Romuona, "We are friends, right?
Since I'm here, of course I won't leave you in the lurch, I'm not that cold-blooded. "
Lulunaka said that she was not that cold-blooded, but her words of not caring about Romuona's life or death were deeply engraved in Romuona's heart, and could not be easily erased.
"Please don't think of taking advantage of the chaos to escape, Master Warrior."
Lulunaka continued, and then pointed her cane at Padding, "That Master Knight over there, it seems that he is not paying attention to you, but that is just a disguise.
If you let down your guard, or turn around to escape, his sword may immediately stab you, and it will stab poor Miss Romuona. "
Padding did not speak, and his eyes were fixed on Lulunaka.
She was right.
Although the suspicious Lulunaka and the strange shadow were existences that could not be ignored, this did not mean that he had forgotten his purpose.
As long as there was a chance, he would not give up on the matter of taking Romuona's life.
"Master Warrior … It's really troublesome to call you that, can I call you Master Olga?
I hope you don't mind. "
Romuona said, she did not intend to wait for Olga's reply, and continued, "I heard it just now, this Master Knight — let's call him Mr. Edgar — this Mr. Edgar, didn't he say that he would never touch Miss Romuona?
Of course, that was a lie.
As long as you relax and reveal a gap, he will definitely not hesitate to strike, and use his beautiful cross-shaped sword to pierce Miss Romuona's heart. "Lulunaka waved her cane, and made a forward stabbing motion.
The front end of the cane pointed at Romuona's chest.
"You can't block this sword, Master Olga.
You can hurt him, but after he kills Miss Romuona, he can take the opportunity to kill you and that silly boy.
You're old, and you have old injuries, so there's a clear gap between the two of you who are both Silver-ranked. "
Olga's eyebrows twitched, and his right foot took a step back.
Padding's face also turned ugly, as if everything about him was exposed in Lulunaka's eyes, and there was nowhere to hide.
Every word she said was exposing him and Olga's background, and did not discriminate in any way.
"Master Olga, if you were twenty years younger, you might have a chance, right?
Now, you can only jump a few times before you die like a fish on a chopping board.
But now, this hopeless situation has taken a turn for the better. "
Lulunaka moved her cane away from Romuona, and slowly moved it, pointing at the Church Knights one by one, and finally stopping on Leon.
Leon was not far from Lulunaka, holding a longsword, and back to back with another knight, vigilant of the hidden shadow … and Lulunaka.
"Because I'm here." Lulunaka smiled.
A series of rustling sounds came from the forest.
The shadow seemed to be everywhere, and its voice could be heard everywhere.
Lulunaka's cane pointed at the roof, and lightly tapped it.
The shadow darted out from the forest again, and flew towards the Church Knights.
