Natasha ignored Verdi, just looked at Sylvia walking side by side with Verdi, her eyes narrowed slightly, she bit her lip gloomy and blank, and then asked bitterly and angrily: "Is it really you? What are you for? Are all the lies you say to me?"
Verdi saw that Natasha was not injured except for a little fatigue and depression, and knew that her strength was still intact, and in the previous ambush of the Sky Knight and the high-level magician, Natasha's entourage knight still had a fourth-level knight, two second-level knights, and two official knights, which were a force that could not be underestimated, so he did not rashly order the knights who were loyal to him to attack, and prepared to attack Natasha's spirit first, weaken her power to the greatest extent, and disintegrate and plot against the remaining knights.
As for the more than twenty knight attendants and seventy or eighty soldiers around Natasha, Verdi didn't take it to heart at all, and the official knight might still be a little afraid of the standard demon-breaking longbow in the hands of the attendants, but he and the other five great knights were not afraid at all, this was the absolute suppression of strength after the rank was promoted.
Sylvia took two deep breaths, her soft and painful expression gradually calming down: "I am grateful for your love for me, Natasha. But I love my father even more, he finally got in touch with the people of the Magic Council, there is hope to escape from the life of repressed fear, and I must do something for him. I originally thought they were asking for your information for the secret of the Latta Summer Palace or other secrets, but I didn't expect their purpose to assassinate you. But things have become like this, my father died under your spear, and I can only forget everything else and avenge him."
Personnel of the Magic Council? Has Deroni been killed by Natasha? Many questions arose in Lucian's mind, and then he came to his senses: "Is it possible that Ronnie and Sylvia are also magicians? Have you ever seen it in the magic circle?"
After carefully examining Sylvia's height and size, and discerning her vocal characteristics, Lucian finally connected her with the magic apprentice White Honey: "Then Deroni is the owner of the black crow Ashley? No wonder it feels a bit familiar! No wonder when pretending to be a professor, Deloni was the first to test me!"
"It's just that Natasha's mother has passed away a long time ago, why did the Magic Council cooperate with Verdi to assassinate Natasha?"
"Just being grateful for my love? Sylvia, you didn't say that before. Maybe I have been living in false lies, you are lying to me, and my dear cousin is also lying to me." Natasha keenly paid attention to Sylvia's words and asked with a slight sadness and indignation, but she did not regret killing Deroni immediately, otherwise not only herself, but all the knights who followed her, including Camille, would die in the ambush.
Lucian was quite pitiful and sympathetic to Natasha, but he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth after hearing her words: "It seems like I'm lying to her too......"
Sylvia tried to maintain her composure: "The magnificent and spacious villa, the exquisite and delicious food, the attentive and professional servants, the life of a promising musician, the elegant and pleasant aristocratic salons and banquets, the life that others dream of is not as good for me as the joy of learning magic, the satisfaction of successful experiments, and the wishes of my father. Natasha, the road of life is like two intersecting lines, we have been together, but we will eventually go further and further."
"This ......" Lucian empathized with Sylvia's words, understanding the kind of depression that made him unable to learn magic openly, but he was probably one of the targets of her betrayal, and things in the world were really wonderful. Even if he revealed his identity as a magician now, he would probably be killed directly by Verdi, because he had nothing to do with the Magic Council.
Before Natasha could speak, Verdi suddenly stretched out his hand, ignored Sylvia's resistance, and put his arms around her waist: "As for love, dear cousin, although you are strong, strong-willed, brave and fearless, free and humorous, you are still a woman, and you can't give Sylvia the love she wants."
Natasha closed her eyes, and then laughed, bright and bright, burying all the sadness, softness and grief on her face: "What an admirable magician, I have never noticed such a persistent side of you, Sylvia, probably I have never entered your heart. Hehe, cousin Verdi, I don't seem to have really understood you, for the sake of the Grand Duke's title, you dare to collude with the Magic Council and the Silver and White Horn Cult. Do you think Bishop Salde has crowned you? The Inquisition is your belonging! Don't you understand that you are tempted by the devil?"
Now that Verdi has come out of the background, Natasha recalls that the intelligence department was infiltrated by the Silver and White Horns, and how could she not understand Verdi's role in it.
As a resolute and powerful knight, Natasha did not dwell on the issues of love and betrayal, but directly asked Verdi, wanting the knights who followed him to understand the fate of everything they did and hesitate.
Making a deal with the devil and making a deal with a magician is enough to burn at the stake.
Verdi laughed: "The devil's temptation? If I didn't want to, why would it tempt me! Why was the Grand Duke able to inherit the title, and why did my father die unclearly, is it also the temptation of the devil?"
"And when did I collude with the devil believers? I am the hero of the fight against the silver and white horns! Without my key intelligence, how could Bishop Sald and Count Hayward destroy the final operation of the Silver White Horn in time and eliminate them all? How could it be too late to rescue your cousin?"
"And as long as you are killed, Mr. Rogerio of the Magic Council will handle the scene and point all clues to the Magic Council. The Magic Council will also announce that it is responsible for this matter. I was just late for rescue!"
"It seems that Cousin Verdi, you only used the silver and white horns from the beginning, and now you have betrayed them without hesitation." Natasha calmed down completely.
But even after hearing this conversation, the more than twenty knights and hundreds of knights and attendants who followed Verdi were expressionless and did not have the slightest emotional fluctuations.
Lucian was slightly surprised, and carefully looked at the surrounding knights, and sure enough, he found the familiar figure of Aaron Longsan.
Verdi sneered: "If it weren't for Mr. Lucian Evans by your side betraying the Silver White Horn, I would have succeeded long ago. But it's okay, a momentary victory blinded you, made you think that there was no spy by your side, made you trust Sylvia even more, and walked into my ambush unsuspectingly."
Natasha raised her purple eyebrows: "So when Mr. Victor was at the concert, you actually deliberately fell into the trap of my language and provoked me to invite Lucian as a music consultant?"
"Dear cousin, I'm glad you realized that you're not that smart." Verdi's long-standing plan is about to succeed, he seems a little proud, and if time drags on for a while, maybe the magician Rogerio and the Legon Knight will be able to deal with Camille rushing over, so he looked at Lucian again: "Your declaration of no compromise against the enemy, I appreciate it very much after learning from Sylvia, but unfortunately you betrayed the Silver and White Horn and destroyed my plan! Originally, if you hadn't gone to Lake Elsinore and been killed by the Silver White Horn, I would have sent someone to hunt you down, but you actually bumped into Natasha, which saved me a lot of things."
Lucian suddenly realized what the danger Maskylin was referring to was, because of Sylvia's betrayal, his "Moonlight Bloodline" and betrayal of the Silver and White Horns were not a secret for a long time, but Verdi and the Silver and White Horns were afraid of retaliation against themselves and Joel's family to alarm Natasha and the church, so that the final plan would fail, so they kept holding back and preparing to "grandly entertain" themselves after the success of the big event: "Fortunately, they don't know the identity of my 'professor'......"
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for making it clear that I am far less safe than I thought." Lucian, who was solemn in his heart, kept a calm smile and said, Delony's poems and scattered manuscripts should only tempt himself by the way, after all, it is difficult to say how tempting the magic ruins are to a prospective knight, the real danger is Verdi's pursuit afterwards, and now it is just detonating the danger in advance.
At the same time, Lucian sensed the gap between the surrounding necromancer world and the main material world through the Crown of the Sun, which was the best shortcut to escape from the encirclement, but sadly, the previous gap had completely disappeared with the collapse of the maze, and there was no one within the range of induction.
"Your calmness is really admirable." Verdi restrained his pride and looked at the knights behind Natasha seriously: "Knight of Grace, do you still want to resist with Natasha? The Excellency of the Northern Fortress, the two golden knights of the Dark Mountains Fortress, as well as the Hain family and the Hill family, all hinted at neutrality. As long as I can kill Natasha, they will recognize me as the future Grand Duke."
As soon as this sentence was said, not only the knights, knight attendants and soldiers behind Natasha were all in an uproar, but even Natasha herself couldn't believe it.
Seeing that the effect was good, Verdi continued: "The reason why they made such a choice was because a female knight with an eccentric personality and liked women made them disgusted and worried! Natasha has insulted chivalry, and there is no way to ensure the continuation of the bloodline's descendants, will you feel honored to follow Natasha?"
The uproar turned into an eerie silence, and everyone seemed to fall into deep thought.
"So everyone betrayed me......" Natasha whispered bitterly.
"I have a total of two level five knights, one level four knights, three level three knights, eight second-level knights, eleven official knights, and hundreds of knight attendants, do you think you can break through with your remaining strength?" After Verdi's temptation, he began to intimidate again.
"Choose to be loyal to me, and you will live to see the sun rising early, and I will bless you!"
"And if your head is as stubborn as a stone, then wait to go to hell!"
After a moment of extreme silence, many soldiers and knights began to flee, running towards the small knights of Verdi opposite, and even an official knight was among them.
Natasha was very calm at this time, but she just watched the scene with deep eyes, and the long "enchantment" rifle was placed on the horse's back without any movement.
When everyone who should escape fled, Natasha looked at the team of less than ten people left around her and a few empty dragon scale horses, and laughed softly, beautiful and resolute: "Knight of Grace, why don't you go over?"
The fourth-level knight Wynn had brilliant blond hair and blue lake-like eyes, and he replied seriously: "I have chosen my loyal lord, Your Highness, I will always fight for you! This is my loyal knight's creed!"
Natasha nodded affirmatively, and then looked at Lucian: "What about you? Lucian."
Lucian said calmly: "I will never compromise with the enemy." Compared with other knights, he is a quasi-knight with no value at all, plus he betrayed the silver horn, ruined Verdi's plan, and has a bunch of secrets on his body.
"Lucian, you have a chivalry that many people don't have, you are a true knight." Natasha's expression softened a little.
