Lawrence paused and spoke: "Because of this kind of thing, my ancestors have warned me: the ancestors said that there will be a group of evil wizards who will stop the Black Spirit Empire from reappearing in the world at all costs.
It is for this reason that many people in my family had the ability to make the things on the drawings, but none of them made them. My ancestors and father were extremely careful when they first made them.
On the contrary, I, because of my pride and carelessness, forgot this warning and ended up where I am now.
In fact, if I die, I will die, but I will pity my two students who were implicated. Having said that, they were supposed to die that winter a few years ago, but I saved them and extended their lives. In a sense, it is fate that makes them die a few years later. "
"You think clearly, Master Lawrence." Franklin said softly, "It seems that you are not afraid at all now."
"What am I afraid of?" After hearing Franklin's words, Lawrence's body seemed to suddenly gain a little more strength, his eyes showed a little sharpness, and he turned to look at Franklin.
Lawrence said: "You should be the ones who are afraid! Do you know, in addition to leaving warnings, my ancestors also left another advice. That is, as long as you hide it carefully, one day you evil wizards will It will be eliminated, and then we can do whatever we want."
"Oh, annihilate us?" Franklin laughed, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to annihilate us."
"Like rats, cockroaches and bed bugs in the ditch?" Lawrence asked.
"You!" Franklin's smile instantly cooled down, and he said word by word: "Wrong, it's like a god! God, do you know!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he held a slender awl and stabbed it down, easily piercing the backrest of the wheelchair and stabbing into Lawrence's heart.
"Well!"
Lawrence's body was shaken violently, and his whole body began to twitch. After a moment, his head tilted and he became motionless.
"puff"!
Franklin took out the awl and threw it in the corner. He looked at Lawrence's body and snorted coldly, "Humph, you are the rat, cockroach and bedbug in the ditch, you know! Even lower than that, you are an ant!" "
After speaking, Franklin strode out, followed by two of his men.
"Fire Spirit" Promi was a few steps behind, chanting a spell in his mouth, spraying fierce flames from his palms, igniting the house, and leaving a mark. After doing this, he left with Franklin.
Not long after, the entire courtyard where Lawrence was sitting was on fire, and half of Florentia could see it. Shouts of "put out the fire" rang out from all around.
The wizards in some corners were alerted, their bodies flew through the air, and they came to check the situation.
This night was very lively. But it has nothing to do with Richard, because Richard is seriously studying it
…
In a blink of an eye, it's dawn.
After studying all night, Richard walked out of the Garden of Eden, walked out of the courtyard, and came to the street, ready to move his body and relax his tired brain.
As a result, before walking very far on the street, a group of soldiers appeared, posted a piece of paper like a notice on a wall, and left in a hurry.
Many people came up curiously and looked at the content on the paper. Richard's eyesight was extraordinary, so he didn't need to follow him. He could see the words on the paper clearly from a distance, and then his face changed slightly.
On the paper, it was clearly written: "Last night, Rotten Pine Lane in the north of the city was maliciously set on fire, causing the death of several civilians, causing chaos, and affecting the stable order of Florence. Therefore, if anyone has relevant clues, please inform them in time... "
this!
Richard narrowed his eyes, and the figure of Lawrence appeared in his mind.
…
night.
The dark night enveloped Florence, and the rotten pine alley in the north of the city was filled with deathly silence.
Richard came here. Out of caution, he fully activated his breath concealment technique and shadow cloak. His whole body merged with the darkness, and almost no breath leaked out.
Hidden in the night, Richard looked at the burned-out rotten pinewood alley. He could see that the fire first started in Lawrence's courtyard at the deepest part of the alley, and then spread, burning almost half of the alley. The fire suddenly stopped in the middle of the alley, as if it had been cut hard with a knife.
Richard could imagine the situation in the past:
After the fire broke out, it first quickly burned down Lawrence's courtyard, and then burned the surrounding houses. After all, this world is not modern. There are no fire extinguishers or high-pressure water cannons. Ordinary people cannot resist the fierce fire and can only watch the flames burn more and more. prosperous. After that, the wizard from Florence City arrived. Perhaps out of a sense of responsibility or for other reasons, he released a spell to extinguish the fire instantly.
Everything seems not to be very strange, except how did the fire in Lawrence's courtyard start
The official paper posted said that someone maliciously set the fire. Who could be the arsonist
Richard took steps and quietly walked to what was supposed to be Lawrence's courtyard. The place had turned into ruins, all the houses collapsed, and only an open space in the middle of the courtyard looked relatively normal.
Scanning the open space, Richard's eyebrows suddenly stood up, and he saw a sign clearly carved on the ground - a big triangle, an inscribed circle, and a vertical line.
This is a very familiar symbol of the Black Spirit Empire. It was seen in White Rock City, in the library books of the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom, and now it is seen again in Florence.
This symbol of the Black Spirit Empire does not necessarily represent the Black Spirit Empire. Here, it is obviously left by the arsonist. According to some of the information he has learned so far, the people who would deliberately leave such marks seem to be members of the mysterious organization such as Solmen and Mukoni.
It's just that the other party was wiped out by him in White Rock City at once. Now that the sign appears, could it be done by another group of people from the mysterious organization? Or is Solmen, Mu Keni and others collectively resurrected again
Either way, it's not good news.
Richard frowned deeply. He could guess that the people in the mysterious organization seemed to be inextricably linked to the Black Spirit Empire, and it was a bad kind. After all, the other party had been using the Black Spirit Empire's symbols to do bad things.
Lawrence, who died in the fire, according to his own account, had the knowledge and inheritance of the Black Spirit Empire. Perhaps it was because of this that he was poisoned by the mysterious organization.
And he is going to continue to explore the secrets of the Black Spirit Empire, and may get entangled with the mysterious organization again.
This was something he didn't want to see, but it seemed inevitable.
So-
Richard pursed his lips.
