Snap!
"Sir, are you okay!" When shouts came from all over the castle, Lilia, as the nearest person, opened the door directly the next moment.
Although this personal maid has no martial arts value, she has a heart dedicated to her lord.
"I'm fine!" Catherine could no longer be seen outside the window, and Nalant looked back, "Lilia, go and get Rose ready for a midnight snack!"
After such a sudden incident, Nalant's sleepiness has dissipated.
"Yes, sir!"
Lilia After confirming that his master had no injuries, his thumping little heart calmed down a little. After hearing the order, he immediately headed downstairs.
And Nalant also walked out of the study room and prepared to go to the lobby on the first floor.
When he reached the stairs, Vivian and a group of guards rushed up with weapons.
"My lord!"
Everyone had just learned from Lilia that Nalant was fine, and they felt relieved at this time.
"Let's go! Go to the meeting hall first!" Nalant waved his hand and led everyone back the way they came.
"My lord, this subordinate should be damned for letting an assassin enter the castle!"
A few minutes later, in the lobby on the first floor, Quick was half-kneeling in front of Nalant.
Having seen the assassin before, half of the guards entered the inner fort to protect Nalant, while the other half, led by Quick, pursued the assassin.
As for the result of the pursuit, it was no surprise that the woman's strength was extraordinary. Even though Quick had been practicing for several days and Battle Qi was a trainee knight, it was still of no use.
"Get up first! Where did the assassin enter the castle? Have you found out?" Nalant waved his hand and did not immediately hold anyone accountable for their negligence.
"Sir! When the assassin escaped, she went towards the back of the castle. When my subordinates arrived with the guards, she had already climbed down the cliff. We pursued her down the gentle slope, but unfortunately she had disappeared."
"However, there are still ropes left on the ground and there are signs of climbing on the cliff. I speculate that the assassin must have climbed up from the cliff."
"Climb up from the back of the castle?" Nalant also didn't expect that the only loophole in the castle would be exploited by this female assassin.
As his hometown, Nalant naturally checked the surrounding situation carefully. The cliffs around were almost vertical. Even he, Mid-Rank Bronze Knight, would not dare to climb without safety guarantee.
Therefore, due to the current insufficient number of guards, Nalant only allows guards to guard the front, while the rear and sides only need to patrol occasionally.
After all, there was only one road on the surface, and he didn't expect anyone to be able to climb up the other sides.
"Sir, I kindly ask you to let me take people out to pursue him so that I can catch the assassin and apologize to you!" Quick requested.
"No need!"
Nalant shook his head, not even the castle could trap that woman. Now that she was out of the castle, Quick how could a dozen people still catch up with her.
More importantly, Catherine is so powerful that letting Quick and others go out is no different than sending them to death.
"Quick, take the guards to guard the castle again, and send a few more people to the sides and rear." Nalant immediately ordered.
"Yes, my lord!" Quick was still a little unwilling, but he could only accept the decision made by his lord.
"Sherry and Vivian stay, everyone else should go out!" After Quick left, Nalant cleared out the others.
"Sir, my subordinates failed to protect your safety!"
"Sir, Sherry is also at fault. Sherry's bees and Little Gray are sleeping at night!"
After everyone went out, Vivian and Sherry pulled their heads and admitted their mistake to Nalant.
"Sherry, Vivian, this is none of your business!" Nalant laughed dumbly. Even he himself did not expect this intrusion. How could these two girls think of it.
Moreover, Little Gray and bees cannot function because of the darkness. This cannot be changed by human power.
"I'm not keeping you here to make you admit your mistake, but I want to tell you something else! That assassin is actually just like you, he's a Daughter of Luck!"
"Ah? It's also bad luck...Daughter of Luck?"
Vivian and Sherry looked surprised.
"Sir, then why did she break into the castle to assassinate you? You must know that among all the nobles, you are the only one willing to take us in!" Sherry was a little resentful.
"I don't know yet why she broke into the castle. However, I feel that she didn't really enter the castle to kill me. She seemed to have other purposes."
"As for my kindness to you, she only knew about it just now, and it is precisely because of this that I have a chance to avoid tonight!"
Nalant answered with a smile, he was telling the truth, because after seeing his conversation with Vivian and Sherry, Catherine temporarily forgot his purpose and asked about Daughter of Misfortune.
"This Daughter of Luck is too bad, sir. When it gets up tomorrow, I will send out both Little Bee and Little Gray so that she has nowhere to hide!" Sherry immediately clenched his little fists and said.
"Me too, sir, tomorrow I will lead the guard team to cooperate with Sherry to arrest her!" Vivian also nodded immediately.
"Well, I kept you here just for this matter. However, Sherry, Vivian, you need to secretly check the identity of that woman tomorrow."
"Don't let her find out, because you can't beat her, just report it to me after you find it!"
Nalant is now a little unsure whether Catherine is his third place Daughter of Luck, so he doesn't want to scare her away by making too much noise.
As for why Nalant guessed that Catherine would not escape overnight, it was because of what Catherine said when he left.
She said that she would come to find her again. Nalant felt that a person like Catherine, who was so talented and bold and dared to break into the castle, would definitely not need to go out of his way to cover her escape from the territory.
"Yes, sir!" the two women responded immediately.
After giving orders to Sherry, Vivian, and Nalant, they ate their midnight snack and then returned to the bedroom.
Nalant, who was lying on the bed, called up the system panel.
'Daughter of Luck: Catherine (primary awakening!)'
'Specialty: Swordsmanship!'
'Special talents: Light Body, Insight Eye!'
'She is an extremely talented swordsman. When she grows into an excellent swordsman, the point of her sword will be unstoppable.'
'She is also an excellent general. In the primary awakening state, the long sword soldiers she leads can master the sword skill proficiently in one week, and the soldiers will permanently obtain Light Body ten percent talent!'
(Note: In the primary awakening state, the upper limit of the number of people taught per session is 10! The number of people can be increased after raising the level of awakening!)
This Daughter of Luck has completed primary awakening, and its proficiency is about to reach the intermediate awakening requirements.
Intermediate awakening potion formula: one part of the magic potion golden orchid, two parts of the magic potion taro, two parts of the blood of the light bird of Warcraft...
"She is about to reach the threshold of intermediate awakening. No wonder she is so confident that as long as she is below Silver Knight, I cannot be her opponent!" Nalant was shocked after reading the introduction of the illustrated book.
This Lucky Girl Illustrated Handbook was the prompt that Nalant received from the system after Catherine revealed his name.
But what first surprised him now was that Catherine was about to complete the intermediate awakening.
But another point is that Nalant is even more confused about how Catherine completed the primary awakening in the first place.
After all, Vivian and Sherry both relied on their own potions to achieve awakening.
After thinking for a moment, Nalant had no clue and could only stop thinking about it.
"You said you would come back to me, and I'm looking forward to meeting you again!" Nalant muttered before closing his eyes.
These doubts should be solved as long as you find Catherine.
Thanks to 'Guzhan Ertian' and 'Glory Years$@' for their rewards!!!
