The castle had long been looted, and nothing of value could be found inside.
Those people had some conscience in disposing of their companions' bodies.
But this could not dispel Likalo's thoughts of revenge.
Now she is wanted by the Kingdom of Lombard. It is true that justice always stands on the side of the victor.
After a series of smear campaigns, the Crescent Knights' reputation has been completely ruined.
But in Licaro's opinion, none of this matters, because she no longer needs to care about her so-called reputation in the future.
That kind of stuff is really useless.
The abandoned fortress was in a remote location and had no use, so the enemy did not even occupy it, but simply looted it and left.
Licaro will rebuild this place, and with her own strength, she will be able to form another team soon.
But she knew very well that this place would no longer be full of laughter and joy as before, and she would no longer share her dreams with anyone.
Dreams are just dreams after all, and they cannot withstand the cruelty of reality.
Licaro returned to the room where she used to live. It was now in a very messy state, as if everything had been looted. However, Licaro didn't have any valuables.
She carries all her precious belongings with her.
After taking off her heavy armor, Licaro sat on the bed that was stabbed to pieces by swords and took off the necklace around her neck.
The necklace was not tied with any precious gem, but a somewhat dim crystal.
For Likalo now, this photo crystal is of great significance.
Because it symbolizes her carefree childhood full of beautiful fantasies.
She could hardly remember what the little black dragon looked like. Eight years had passed and she had never seen the little black dragon in these eight years, let alone where the little black dragon was now.
Likalo even had a dream that the little black dragon died in an accident, but she didn't want to believe it. She would rather believe in the best possibility.
In any case, the little black dragon has become a part of her childhood dream memory.
But that's it.
She raised her hand, and magical light bloomed around her. As she could use magic, she could easily project the images in the crystal.
Images from the past were displayed on the wall in front of her. At that time, young Licaro was wearing a dress for her birthday party, and the expression on her face was so innocent and happy.
It seems like she is in two different worlds now.
Tears silently slid down her face as she stared blankly at the image in front of her, as if she had returned to those carefree days.
She began to waver and wondered if she should give up her dream. As the daughter of a duke, she had an unrivaled status and did not need to suffer such injustice.
If she wanted, she could even use her father's influence to cause a war between the Silver Eagle Empire and the Lombard Kingdom.
The eastern mountains had already been opened up, and it was easy for the powerful empire to destroy the small Kingdom of Lombard, and it might even only require the military strength of the province of Edfallon.
What's more, if the empire wanted to expand in the future, the Kingdom of Lombard was originally planned to be the target.
Licaro shook her head vigorously. She couldn't let any thought of wavering. She was still carrying hatred on her shoulders, so she had to hold on.
Even though she knew that she was being a little extreme, and even though she knew there were definitely better ways to solve the problem, she was too stubborn to do that.
She must use her own power to seek revenge on those people in order to comfort her fallen companions.
It wasn't long before Licaro cut off the image and put the necklace with the crystal of the image back around her neck.
After the screening just now, the color of the image-retaining crystal became a little dimmer.
The photo crystal has a lifespan. The more times it is used, the shorter its lifespan becomes.
So far, there is no method to transfer the crystal image, so the only thing we can do is to reduce the number of screenings as much as possible.
Licaro wanted to watch the images inside a few more times before she was buried.
The feeling of having her dream shattered was quite painful. She wiped the corners of her eyes, but tears were still flowing out.
In this empty, silent, deserted room, Licaro can fully display her weak and sad side because no one will see it.
The bed in the room was stabbed to pieces by swords and knives. I guess those people thought there might be something valuable hidden inside.
But in fact, for Likalo, the most valuable things are her companions and dreams, and the so-called money and power are worthless in her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, she stopped crying and tried to make her face calm.
She needs to become stronger and control the sadness in her heart.
Because she is not living for herself now, she will not allow herself to relax until she completes her revenge.
She thought she could hold it in.
After I complete my revenge, I will have a good cry...
PS: Let me tell you a secret: the future dragon knight and dragon will meet soon.
Chapter 2 - Disaster 007 That's my horse
Eloline had entered the territory of the Kingdom of Lombard. In order to avoid being exposed due to her huge size, she flew above the clouds for a while and then cast a transformation magic to become a human form.
But even in human form, the wings on her back can still come in handy.
So Eloline glided a long distance in the air until she landed on open ground.
There are no human settlements nearby, and the flowers and plants are very lush, making it look like a wild place.
But the sharp-eyed Eloline saw what seemed to be a small castle in the distance and wondered if it was a human military base, but the castle looked very small.
This couldn't help but arouse Eloline's curiosity. She blocked her breath and sneaked over there quietly.
The surrounding grass and bushes were very dense, and with her short body, Eloline could easily hide in them.
As they got closer to the castle, Eloline's doubts grew stronger.
The gate of the castle was open, there were no signs of human beings, and the walls were dilapidated, as if they had experienced a battle.
Could this be an abandoned castle?
In this case, Eloline had to go in and take a look. First of all, she liked exploring unknown things, and secondly, she might find something valuable in there.
Even if the castle was looted, there might be some secret rooms or something.
It's always good to try your luck, if you really find something you will get rich.
After confirming that this castle was indeed an abandoned castle, Eloline walked in through the main gate with swagger.
The atmosphere in the castle made Eloline frown, because she felt that many people had died here, and the breath of killing could not dissipate even now.
Eloline looked around the interior of the castle. This castle was really small. If there was really a garrison, there would probably be at most a few hundred people. And what was the point of building it in such a deserted place?
Eloline searched around for something valuable, but she failed to notice the presence of other people in the castle.
At this time, Licaro was half-crouching on the city wall, observing the man in the cloak in the castle.
Maybe the enemy suspected that I would hide here, so they sent people to check.
Fortunately, she had the magic item that Xia gave her to block out the aura, and combined with her invisibility magic, she was not discovered by the cloaked man.
Speaking of which, this cloaked man is quite short, could he be a dwarf?
But it seems to be a little taller than the dwarf...
Licaro would not alert the enemy no matter what. She was now alone and weak and had to hide herself.
Eloline walked around the castle but didn't find anything valuable. Then she went into the castle and found that every room was in tatters, showing signs of having been looted.
I looked around for a long time but found nothing.
Just as the disappointed Eloline was about to leave, she discovered a chestnut horse in the castle's stable!
There is no one in the castle, so this horse...
She tried to put pressure on the horse, and under the pressure of the superior monster, the poor horse surrendered directly.
Eloline found that the horse was very strong and had a harness, so she came up with the idea of riding it away.
After all, she would be moving around in the human kingdom next, and it was impossible for her to transform back into her original form and fly anytime and anywhere. Walking was too slow, so riding a horse was just right.
So Eloline untied the horse's reins, led it out of the stable, and sat on its back.
Eloline, who had never ridden a horse before, seemed quite unfamiliar with it. She had no idea what to do, so she relied on her own understanding, riding on the horse's back and holding the reins tightly.
As long as you don't fall and sit comfortably, that should be fine, right?
The rest can be figured out slowly later. Eloline decided to teach herself how to ride a horse.
For this horse, although it didn't know what kind of person was riding it, the terrifying pressure made it dare not even fart.
"drive!"
Eloline rode away from the castle on horseback. Licaro, who was watching this scene secretly, clenched her fists.
That's her horse!
Although she couldn't help but want to kill the cloaked man, she had to stay calm.
That person might have deliberately come to lure me out, so I must not be fooled.
Watching the man riding his horse disappear from sight, Licaro lifted her invisibility and angrily hammered the bricks on the city wall with her hands.
After losing her horse, there was no need for her to wear armor.
Otherwise, just walking would be enough to tire her to death.
So Licaro returned to her room, pressed a secret mechanism on the door, and then a small door appeared on the wall next to her.
The space inside the door is not big, it is like a safe, this is where Licaro usually stores her equipment.
Licaro took off her equipment one by one and put them inside, including her sword.
Then she took out a wizard robe from it. Generally speaking, this is the standard equipment for many mages. The reason for choosing this is that the hood of the wizard robe can hide the face.
And now she was not suitable to carry a long sword, so she carried a dagger with her.
Now she can no longer be considered a knight. In order to move more conveniently and hide her tracks, she can only temporarily identify herself as a magician.
But her magic level is also very high.
Then Licaro took out another badge and put it on her chest. This was the badge of the Mage Association. Having this badge could avoid a lot of trouble.
This was a certification she obtained secretly from the Mage Association. Normally, she tried not to use magic in front of others, so even her companions didn't know that she could use magic.
Now her identity as a mage can provide her with cover, and it is difficult for those enemies to suspect a mage.
But when she thought of her beloved horse, Licaro's anger rose again.
That horse had been with her since she became a knight. After such a long time, they had already developed a deep affection and tacit understanding for each other. She had never expected that it would be taken away so easily...
And why didn't it resist when that man rode it away just now?
The horse has a very strong personality and will not obey anyone except Licaro.
In the end, Licaro made a note of this matter and vowed that if she met someone who stole a horse in the future, she would never forgive him.
But if she thought about it, she knew that this was very unrealistic. The person was wearing a cloak, so she had no idea what he looked like.
If that man sold his horse again, Licaro would not be able to recognize him even if she met him in the future.
Licaro knew that there was a high probability that she would not be able to find the horse.
After packing her luggage, Licaro decided to leave the abandoned Knights' castle temporarily.
Now she is alone and it is definitely not safe for her to stay here. If she had reacted a little slower today, she would have been discovered by that person.
It would be better for her to wait until she rebuilds the Knights Templar before reoccupying this abandoned castle.
PS: I want to see the stickers, gkd!
Chapter 2 - Disaster 008 Accusation
Eloline rode her horse quickly across the wilderness. The horse had great endurance and speed, and she felt more and more satisfied.
However, there was a bag tied to the horse's back. Eloline hadn't noticed it before, but it seemed that there was something inside.
After stopping by a river, Eloline let the horse rest and untied the bag on the horse's back.
She showed a surprised expression after seeing what was inside.
