It even deliberately moved closer to Mo Binma Yeying, tilting its head to curiously examine Yeying.
The two monsters had met before and spent some time together.
Because of this experience, Mo Binma Yeting surprisingly did not reject the adorable white giant dog.
Seeing this, Arthur did not stop the two magical beasts from playing around.
After placing them by the lake.
Arthur then turned back and returned to the alchemy workshop.
but.
When he reached the gate of the alchemy workshop.
Unexpectedly, a strange young man walked out from behind the door.
The other person had shoulder-length hair, wore light armor, and carried an unusually designed longbow on their back.
Upon first seeing her, Arthur couldn't help but admire her gentle and beautiful demeanor.
If this were a man, he would be too beautiful!
"You must be Lord Blackrock, Arthur Field?"
The other person's magnetic, adult male voice pulled him back to the present moment.
"Yes."
Arthur straightened his back, resuming the posture of a lord:
"May I ask who you are?"
Tristan looked directly at Arthur, who was as tall as him, and responded:
"Lord of Windburn, Tristan."
After saying that, he suddenly activated the Knight's Breathing Technique, unleashing a wave of wind.
Immediately, Arthur sensed an incredibly powerful aura emanating from the opponent's wind wave.
Late Silver Rank Knight!
In an instant, his nerves tightened, and he gained a clear understanding of Tristan's strength.
Because he had only ever sensed this level of waveguide energy from the bandit leader, the late-stage Silver Rank Black Armor Knight Daiba, during the Black Rock Territory Defense War.
With this in mind, Arthur's gaze toward Tristan became more serious.
The other party unleashed a powerful wave aura at him; was it an attempt to intimidate him?
Just as he was thinking this...
A scene flashed through his mind:
Just when he was about to be ambushed by the demon David's head.
Two arrows carrying powerful wind waves appeared, saving him and completely killing the demon David.
Arthur snapped out of his reverie, and upon noticing the longbow on the other man's back, he couldn't help but voice a guess that had just formed in his mind:
"You...you wouldn't happen to be the owner of those three arrows that night, would you?"
Aside from the two arrows that killed the demon David.
He also learned from Gawain's post-battle report that a third arrow had appeared, which helped Gawain and the Frost Raven King kill the Black Armor Knight who was causing trouble in the town.
"That's right!"
Tristan did not deny it, and nodded.
But then.
He abruptly retracted the waveguide, then looked at Arthur meaningfully and uttered a startling statement:
"Arthur, do you want to be a solitary dragon or a majestic lion?"
Chapter 119 The Witch's Fate
"Dragon and Lion?"
Tristan's words left Arthur somewhat bewildered.
He frowned slightly, unable to understand what the other person was trying to express.
Seeing his expression, Tristan smiled knowingly and didn't ask any further questions.
Instead, they immediately changed the subject:
"Lord Arthur, do you still remember that half a month ago, you and a young wandering knight sealed the Shadow Altar in Qingfeng Village within my territory?"
Arthur listened, nodded, and then recalled the situation at the time:
"Yes, I remember."
Gawain and I sought the help of the alchemist Merlin, which enabled us to successfully seal the Shadow Altar.
Having said that, he looked intently at the long-haired young man in front of him, who exuded a melancholic air—the Lord of Windpu, Tristan.
Right now, what concerns him most is not the other party's inexplicable question.
Rather, the question is how this late-stage Silver Rank knight managed to fire those three arrows on the night of the Blackrock Territory defense battle.
Arthur still remembered the events after the Battle of Blackrock Territory ended.
He made a point of collecting the three arrows that had provided them with tremendous assistance in this battle.
Then, he negotiated with Leon the butler and Mr. Lawson, two mid-level Silver Knights.
At first, he thought that the mysterious silver-rank knight who had secretly helped him would appear after he left the battlefield.
But ultimately, two days passed since the Demon Bandit Crisis.
He personally cleared the battlefield on the main road outside Frostraven Town, but the mysterious Silver Knight did not appear.
after that.
Based on the lingering wave-guiding power on the arrow, which had not dissipated for a long time, the butler Leon and Mr. Lawson provided him with unbelievable information:
The one who fired these three arrows must be stronger than them, and the range of these three arrows must be more than two hundred kilometers.
Two hundred kilometers?
This means that the mysterious Silver-rank knight fired the three arrows outside his territory.
It's no wonder that someone with such strength didn't sense the opponent's life force on the battlefield.
So, let's get back to the present.
After confirming that the Windpu Lord Tristan, whose territory bordered his but whom he had never seen before, was the mysterious silver-rank knight who had shot those three arrows that night.
What Arthur was concerned about at that moment was the purpose of the other party's attack.
Tristan's voice pulled him back to the present:
"As Lord Fengpu, I sincerely thank you and that wandering knight for your heroic act of saving Qingfeng Village by disregarding past grievances."
"Let bygones be bygones?"
Arthur sensed something fishy in the other person's gratitude.
It was as if the other party had witnessed firsthand the entire process of him and Gawain being driven out of Qingfeng Village by the villagers, yet still persevering and returning to Qingfeng Village to seal the Shadow Altar.
And next.
Tristan's words shocked him even more:
"Furthermore, I admire Lord Arthur's valiant fighting against those demonic lackeys."
Arthur's thoughts immediately surged.
Based on the information provided by his butler Leon and Mr. Lawson, he formed a guess in his mind about Tristan's abilities:
This late-stage Silver Rank Wind Lord likely possesses some kind of clairvoyance-like blessing, and is also highly skilled in archery.
"In that situation, if it weren't for Lord Tristan's timely assistance with those three arrows..."
He quickly collected his thoughts and continued the conversation:
"It will probably take even more effort to completely kill that tenacious demon man."
At this point, Arthur bowed deeply to Tristan.
"Therefore, as the Lord of Blackrock, I represent the people of Blackrock Territory and the soldiers under my command."
We express our heartfelt gratitude to Lord Fengpu for extending a helping hand to us in our time of crisis.
A gentleman does not care about his deeds.
He figured it out and stopped trying to figure out what Lord Fengpu's purpose was in making his move.
Instead, upon learning that it was the other party who offered help, one should first express gratitude.
"Lord Arthur, there's no need for that."
Tristan waved his hand and looked at Arthur.
His eyes, which had originally held a subtle, barely perceptible sadness, revealed a deep sense of admiration when they reflected the image of the blond youth bowing before him.
He blinked and continued:
"I also dislike those demons and their lackeys."
After all, they had attempted to slaughter my people when they passed through my territory.
Upon hearing this, Arthur recalled the stereotypical impression his butler Leon had given him when introducing the Lord of Windpull:
Like his late father Richard, he was lazy and didn't manage the territory much, preferring to play around.
But now it seems.
This Lord Fengpu was not entirely indifferent to his people.
"I noticed that Lord Arthur brought several people with him when he visited the alchemist Merlin this time, so he must have something important to ask of him."
Just as he was thinking this, Tristan stopped lingering in front of the alchemy workshop's gate and began to walk past him:
"Then I won't bother you any longer. Let's end our conversation here for now."
If you have time next time, you are welcome to come and find me in Muyang Town, Fengpuling.
I would be more than happy to receive you.
Arthur turned around, and without losing his manners, followed Tristan to see him off.
Arthur will always remember Lord Tristan's kindness.
Once some matters are resolved, Arthur will surely pay a visit with lavish gifts.
soon.
The two arrived at the edge of the barrier set up by the alchemist Merlin, in the field of blooming flowers.
Merlin the alchemist's barrier is not effective against Silver-rank knights.
With a casual wave of his hand, Tristan opened the barrier exit hidden in the flower field.
Then, he made a gesture toward Arthur, who was seeing him off.
He was signaling that he didn't need to continue following:
"Haha! Lord Arthur, you're too kind. Let's leave it here."
Now, Tristan's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration for the blond youth.
"Then Arthur wishes Lord Tristan a safe journey."
Arthur knew his place, so he stopped in the flower field.
Next.
Tristan turned around and walked toward the opened exit of the barrier.
Just as he stepped out of the barrier, the barrier healed, and his figure was about to disappear from Arthur's sight.
He left Arthur with one last meaningful remark:
