The night is like a veil, covering the earth.
Outside Jialan City, more than ten miles away, in the center of the woods, an abandoned and dilapidated castle stands.
You can see that the castle has been abandoned for a long time. The city wall made of large bluestones is full of cracks, the paint on the top of the main castle is peeling off in large areas, weeds are overgrown inside and outside, and the corners are covered with oily green or even dark green moss.
But for some reason, there was a faint light coming out of the castle at this time, as if someone was moving inside.
"Shashasha..."
Outside the castle, footsteps sounded, and a lonely figure approached. He lay low under a tree outside the castle, squinted his eyes and looked at the entire castle, then slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face, it was Xander.
Sander still looked very embarrassed at this time, his clothes were in tatters, and the surface was covered with blood - part of it was his own, and the other part was that of the wizards of the Truth Society who he killed. However, Sande's condition has recovered a lot. Even if he has not regained 100% combat effectiveness, at least it will not affect his normal performance.
Sander looked at the castle seriously, his ice-ball-like eyes moving slowly. In this summer, after looking at it for a while, his whole person exuded an aura as cold as winter.
He followed the instructions and came to this castle, already knowing that there were wizards from the Truth Society inside. And what he has to do next is very simple, that is, rush in and try to kill everyone inside.
This is obviously difficult and dangerous.
But he was not afraid. In fact, in his opinion, it was easier than escaping in the forest.
Because, all along, his goal has been revenge against the Society of Truth. From the inherited wizard book I got, most of the spells I learned were offensive, not defensive. Therefore, he is better at attacking than defending.
In addition, defense makes him feel as if he is just surviving, but attacking makes him extremely excited. Because he knew that the attack was to avenge Sophia and vent his anger.
Then, let this anger be vented more intensely.
Sande took a deep breath, slowly pulled out the bone staff from his sleeve, held it in his hand, pointed to the ground a few meters away, opened and closed his lips, and recited an obscure incantation.
"...Dak...Star..."
As the last syllable came out, the air suddenly twisted at the position pointed by the bone staff, and the surrounding darkness suddenly gathered, quickly contracted into a ball, and then twisted and deformed.
After a few seconds, a slender wild wolf stood up.
The whole body of the wild wolf was pitch black, with only two eyes that were green, like will-o'-the-wisps floating out of the underworld.
This is a shadow wolf. Its attack power is not strong in a head-on confrontation, but it is very good at hiding itself in the darkness and launching hidden attacks like an assassin. As long as it hits the enemy's vital point, it can severely damage the enemy. It is an excellent helper for sneak attacks, assassinations, and attacks.
As soon as the Shadow Wolf was born, he immediately looked around vigilantly. When he saw Xander, he roared, as if to convey some message.
Xander spoke up and recited a strange command: "Sokoro!"
Shadow Wolf seemed to understand. He took a deep look at Xander, turned his head and looked at the castle again, jumped up, and disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing the shadow wolf disappear, Xander didn't react much, nor did he follow the shadow wolf to attack the castle. Instead, he pointed the bone staff to the ground not far away again and recited a spell.
"...Dak...Star..."
The same spell, the same darkness gathering, shrinking, twisting and deforming.
Soon, another shadow wolf was born. It looked shorter and stronger than the last one, and looked more violent. The eyes are still oily green, but if you look closely, they will become a bit more blood red, like lava flowing deep in a volcano.
Seeing this somewhat special shadow wolf appear, Sander was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and issued the same command: "Sokoro!"
Shadow Wolf understood and jumped into the darkness without hesitation and disappeared.
Xander chanted the spell for the third time and began to summon the third shadow wolf.
Then came the fourth, fifth, sixth...
In one breath, Xander summoned a dozen shadow wolves to form an army, and asked them all to hide in the darkness and wait for their orders before stopping.
Taking a deep breath, Sander took out a flat wine bottle from his arms, raised his neck, and sent the last remaining liquid in it toward his mouth.
After drinking, he waved his hand, threw the wine bottle on the ground, and took steps to approach the castle.
Suddenly, he thought of something again. He slowly walked back, picked up the wine bottle on the ground, looked at it carefully for a few times, and carefully put it into his arms and put it away.
Then he looked at the castle again.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Waving the bone staff, Xander cast multiple spells on his body and whispered: "Costona!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole figure was like a weightless feather, floating silently towards the castle. The surrounding darkness surged like water, following him over the city wall and sneaking in.
…
At this time, inside the castle, in the hall.
A fist-sized white light group floated in the center of the top of the hall, and several smaller white light groups floated in the four corners of the top of the hall, illuminating the hall extremely brightly.
More than twenty wizards were staying in the hall, some were busy at a table, others were sitting on chairs doing nothing, and others were chatting.
This situation lasted for a while. A man who was busy in front of a table suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of deep red eyes. It was Jialuo.
Jialuo frowned slightly and asked everyone in the hall: "Team Leader Dolan has led the team to hunt down the target. It's been a long time, right? Is there any news?"
An old man stood up next to him and responded with lowered eyebrows: "Captain, the latest news is that Team Leader Dolan is still being hunted. However, the target has been seriously injured and it is difficult to mount an effective resistance, so it won't take long. will succeed."
"So, it's not completely certain of success, right?" Jialuo's crimson eyes rolled and asked, "How long ago was this news?"
"Three hours ago."
"Three hours ago?" Jia Luo pursed his lips, tapped the table, and said, "Okay, just wait. If any new news comes back, notify me immediately."
"Yes." The old man said.
Jia Luo lowered his head and continued busy. But as soon as he lowered his head, he didn't know what he thought of, but he suddenly raised it up again, denying what he said, and looked at the old man next to him and said, "No, it's not safe. It's better to send someone to the scene to understand the situation."
"Captain, is this necessary?" The old man frowned slightly, obviously having a different view, "The target is indeed a bit difficult, but the people we sent out far exceeded the opponent's strength. No matter how strong the opponent is, there will be no accidents, right? ?”
