…………………………………………………………………

In the restroom paved with patterned rocks in the corner of the restaurant, the faint scent of flowers and herbs covered up the original residual breath.

Lucien locked the wooden door behind his back, pretended to arrange his clothes in front of the mirror, carefully checked the bathroom, and then waited quietly for dozens of seconds before taking out the fist-sized morning light crystal ball and A cold iron dagger.

Picking up the dagger and slashing lightly at the wrist of his left hand, a cold and sluggish feeling entered Lucien's brain, and drops of blood fell on the sink.

Then Lucien stretched out his right index finger, and strange symbols were written in the void. Being drawn by it, the scarlet blood that dripped just now twisted and squirmed into a not-so-complicated magic line structure.

This is the arrangement that Lucien uses to cover up the magical fluctuations generated by using the crystal ball.

Although it's hard to say how effective the hastily arranged magic circle will be, the ominous premonition in Lucien's heart made him stop thinking about it so much.

The strange behavior of Gray Fog Town and Baron Habero made Lucien think that if he hesitated or delayed for a while, he would encounter great and inescapable danger.

The magic circle painted by blood slowly lit up, and the strange blood light gently rippling, enveloping the transparent and beautiful crystal ball in the center.

Lucien stretched out his hands, caressed the crystal ball, and chanted mysterious and awkward mantras in his mouth.

The crystal ball gradually became deep and dark, and bright but blurred stars lit up inside it, like the reflection of the starry sky at night.

This is the most unique and difficult "astrology" in the astrology system!

After Lucien became an official magician and obtained the "Crystal Ball of Morning Light", he thoroughly mastered the "Initial Astrology Knowledge" and the original knowledge of astrophysics, which allowed him to quickly learn "Elementary Astrology". Accuracy and clarity are slightly more than elementary astrology should be.

This made Lucien feel even more strange about "fate".

Mysterious star trajectories passed by one after another, and the starry sky in the crystal ball began to form a unique astrology.

Lucien, whose black eyes had recovered from the deep darkness, frowned and said inwardly: "According to the results of astrology, the main star of destiny is indeed showing signs of dimming, and the danger has always been shrouded. And it seems that as time goes by, the danger will become stronger and stronger. , and even make the main star of fate have the possibility of falling!"

Although Lucien's "Elementary Astrology" is slightly above the level of the same level, it still can only get very vague results that only roughly clarify the danger, such as what the danger is, where it comes from, why it is getting stronger and stronger, what the enemy has No one can show the details.

And even the astrology of the "seer" is equally imprecise and full of ambiguity. This is the mystery of fate.

Putting away the morning light crystal ball, Lucien took out the dark red "Fireweaver Bracelet" from his right pocket and put it on, then put the Ice Avenger ring with metallic texture and sapphire luster on his left index finger.

The guards only took away the vigilance long sword before, but Lucien was afraid that the baron would be able to identify the magic item, so apart from the "Sun Crown" which was covered by his clothes, he took off the other two and hid them in advance.

"The result of astrology is very vague. It is not sure whether the danger comes from the baron. It is likely to be something after leaving the castle. Could it be that I turned my face and acted just because I felt that I was in danger?"

"But if you delay the observation, it may be too late when the real danger comes!"

…………

The idea of ​​not harming innocent people and the instinctive idea of ​​self-protection under danger were fiercely clashing in Lucien's heart.

But Lucien, who understood the urgency of the matter, didn't get too entangled. He hid the weakened dagger upside down in his sleeve, and scooped out clear water from the reservoir to make a splashing sound.

"Just like what Natasha said, don't hesitate!"

"Since I can't be sure, I'll try it myself! If I make a mistake, there is still a chance to make up for it and apologize, but if I don't do anything, then I really don't need to do anything! What do I have to do!"

"We must seize the opportunity and solve it before the danger that can make my main star of fate fall!"

Lucien opened the wooden door of the bathroom, his hands drooped naturally, and he walked firmly and decisively towards the dining table.

But Lucien just took a few steps, but unexpectedly found that Baron Habero and Kailin were not at the dining table, so he asked more vigilantly and vigilantly, "Where did the baron and Mrs. Kailin go?"

Even though such a change had already made Lucien feel that he must hurry up, his tone was still calm and natural,

"The baron is a little uncomfortable. Madam Kailin helped him to the bedroom to take the medicine, and he will be back later." Betty replied slightly worried about Habero's physical condition.

Lucien lowered his head slightly and looked coldly: "Then I'll go visit the baron."

Did "Sorrow" just now made him lose control of his emotions, causing bad changes in his body, or was he about to do something? If it's the former, it seems to be the best choice to rush over directly before he resumes his action, while if it's the latter, unexpected actions can interrupt the opponent's plan even more.

Of course, the baron may also be a genuinely kind-hearted hero who has relapsed from his old illness, and what he needs is an apology and apology, but this is nothing compared to the danger.

"Mr. Evans, the Lord Baron will be back soon." Betty stood up and looked at Lucien in surprise. The same was true for Simon, Joanna and Wise.

Lucien didn't answer them, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

Under the bewildered eyes of Betty and the others, Lucien went to the door and asked the guarding soldiers: "Where is the Baron's bedroom? I want to visit him."

"Mr. Evans, the baron ordered you to stay in the dining room." The two soldiers crossed their ceremonial spears and blocked the door, replying politely but without emotional ups and downs.

Lucien nodded, smiled slightly, and suddenly moved, bumping into one of the soldiers, and the weak dagger hidden in his sleeve pierced his arm.

The restaurant was quiet, and no one thought that Lucien would do it directly.

Is he crazy? !

The weakened dagger obtained from Longsan Aaron pierced the soldier's body, but he should have become weak, instead he drew out his long sword with great strength and slashed at Lucien. The muscles on his face bulged like It is to be broken.

And what flowed out of his arm was not blood, but pale yellow pus, with an unpleasant stench.

With agility, Lucien easily dodged and cut the soldier's neck with the dagger forward. At the same time, he rolled to the side to avoid another soldier's spear.

"Killed... Evans killed!"

Even the calm and capable Simon and Joanna were dumbfounded.

But they immediately saw that Mr. Evans' body was emitting a faint milky white light, which caused the soldier holding the spear to cry in pain, and then collapsed on the ground, his body decayed rapidly, as if he had been dead for a long time.

"This is..." Simon asked subconsciously. If the rapid decay of the first soldier's body can be pushed to Mr. Evans' black and gloomy dagger, then the change of this soldier gave him a bad feeling .

Lucien put away the weakened dagger, picked up the long sword for vigilance, and replied calmly: "Puppet, Mr. Mars, do you know where the baron's bedroom is?" I still don't know much about necromancy magic! Although the debilitating dagger was stronger than the vigilant long sword, Lucien, who had trained with John and Natasha, was more capable of holding the long sword.

Mars had been trembling with fright for a long time. Whether it was Lucien's murder without warning or the changes in the two corpses, this musician, who had never seen a dangerous scene before, seemed to be in a nightmare. Joanna slapped him hard before he came back to his senses and stammered out the location of Baron Habero's bedroom.

"Simon, you guys are responsible for blocking the guards rushing up from downstairs, and at the same time protect Mr. Wise and Mr. Mars." Lucien ordered concisely. Although he didn't know how much strength the baron had left, he would fight him again in the fierce battle. Surrounded by soldiers with longbows, it will definitely affect him to a certain extent. If there are a few standard magic-breaking longbows inside, it will be even more troublesome.

Betty, who was a little pale with fright, came back to her senses, and replied subconsciously: "Mr. Evans, I will guard the stairs. With my archery skills, as long as there are no strong knights, I will definitely be able to stop them for a long time." Inherited from Archery of elf blood is Betty's pride.

Then, she saw Mr. Evans dragging a faint afterimage and disappearing at the door.

"Knight? Mr. Evans is a strong knight! Paladin?!" Betty blurted out with wide eyes.

Looking back, she saw that her mature and beautiful sister and her shrewd and capable brother-in-law all looked surprised with their mouths half-opened. Only Mars and Wise still looked like they were having a nightmare.

A knight would hire adventurers to protect him? ! He can destroy all the adventurers in Longya Town, as well as the robbers and wild beasts in the wild! How queer are the hobbies of nobles!

"Betty, quickly pick up the short bow and guard the stairs with me." Simon was the first to recover, and quickly ordered the others, "Joanna, bring the two gentlemen to follow."

Betty nodded hurriedly, found her short bow from the side of the two dead soldiers, and then ran to the stairs.

…………

Lucien ran with all his strength in the slightly dark corridor, and being able to advance the timing by one second might be the key to turning the tide of the battle.

"Who? Stop!" The soldier guarding the corner of the corridor saw a black shadow rushing towards him, and shouted loudly.

After turning into corpse puppets, their intelligence decreased significantly.

Lucien didn't answer, and rushed forward, beware that the two soldiers' heads were chopped off with two swipes of the long sword, and then continued to run without stopping.

Lucien didn't stop until he saw Baron Habero's bedroom, instead of rushing directly to kill the gatekeeper.

After quietly observing and feeling the strength of the magic circle on the door, the constant "Super Undead" power of Lucien's chest talisman "Crown of the Sun" rushed over like waves, and the four low-level undead creatures shouted Before it could be sent out, it was purified and fell to the ground.

When the sound of falling to the ground sounded, Lucien rushed out suddenly, and after his body melted into half the moon, he slammed into the door of the room holding the long vigilant sword and the weak dagger.

One by one, the black magic runes lit up and shattered one after another. Under the attack of two extraordinary weapons, they collapsed instantly, and the door of the room was knocked open by Lucien.

And Lucien, who knocked open the door, used the force of the rebound to roll back instead of advancing.

At the same time, the spell model in his body moved, and two silver-black missiles condensed out of thin air and flew into the bedroom.

Inside the wide-open bedroom door, Baron Habero, with many terrifying wrinkles on his face, was sitting in the center of a strange triangular black magic circle.

There are a baby, a seven or eight-year-old child, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy on the three corners of the magic circle. They are tied up by black illusory tentacles, and bursts of milky white light visible to the naked eye converge on the center through the magic circle. In a pale pupilless eye.

Driven by Kailin's spell next to her, her pale pupilless eyes slowly shed two lines of bloody tears, slowly filling the silver cup in Baron Habero's hand.

Two magic missiles hit the silver cup in Habero's hand under Habero's stunned gaze.
