CHAPTER 7
LORD DAQUARUIS
We sat at the black knight's meeting table. "So Carnax has the power of every god we know of?" Ruyan asked. "Yes." I replied. "So how can we beat him?" Everyone asked. "I dunno, I was kinda hoping that you guys would have ideas." I said and frowned.
Suddenly, the glass of a window nearby shattered. I looked. Lord Daquaruis jumped in. He drew out a rune longsword. "Die intruders!" He shouted and raced forward. Although I was wearing no armour, His sword just hit my body, without even hurting me. I stared in surprise. So did Daquaruis. "What the hell?" He spun around and did another slash. No effect. He put his sword back. "Nice defence level." He said. "That was my best blow.".
He drew his sword again. "Why are you here? This is my turf!" He shouted. "Dude, we're hiding here because of the army of black coloured NPCs! If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be in your stinking place." I said and pretended to smell bad smell. "Grr, so do you know anything about these weird NPCs? Speak!" He said and stared hard at me. "I do but that's classified." I replied. "Tell me! I need to avenge my men. Speak!" He shouted and pointed his sword at my neck.
"Well, I don't mind working with you to rid of them, but how many men have you?" I asked and stood up. "To be exact, only 5, my strongest knights, they are." He said, and put his sword back. "Dude, you mean we're gonna have to work with black knights?" Zephyr asked. "Well, we need more people, and with the black knight's evil and brilliant minds, that could really be handy." I said. Daquaruis's face changed to friendly mode. "So, we're gonna work together?" He asked. I nodded.
"I know of a greater place to hide than this, it's underground." He said. "Your headquarters in Taverly dungeon?" I asked. He just smiled. It indeed was his headquarters in Taverly dungeon. "The black NPCs attacked here a moment ago and killed every single black knight except me and my 5 strongest knights. We escaped, but they thought they had gotten rid of the Kinshra." He said and we finally reached it. Tables and chairs were thrown about, dead bodies of black knights were lying all over. So was blood.
"Meet my remaining men." Daquaruis said. Five black knights stepped out of the shadows. "Sir Danial, Gary, Lance, Haz and Ryu respectively." He said. All of them said hi. I recgonized Haz as the black knight who was with the black knight's witch when I was doing the black knight's fortress quest. "So we shall discuss our plan now?" Daquarius asked. We sat at the round table in the middle of the place. We finally thought of a plan.
