At least half an hour after the black shadow left, an afterimage swept over from the other end of the corridor. The faint black light it carried fluctuated like water waves, and there was a violent and destructive taste in the calm and deep.
The afterimage stopped in front of the barbed wire fence, inspecting the surroundings with a solemn expression.
This is a man in his thirties wearing a black shirt, black dress, black trousers, black leather shoes, and a black bow tie. His beard is neatly trimmed, and his black hair is combed back. It was a new trend that the upper nobles of Aalto had just learned from other kingdoms.
At first glance, this man is a person who pays great attention to grooming and status.
Unfortunately, he is not noble.
He is Longsan Aaron.
In the Aaron gang, as long as the leaders of Longsan Aaron often come into contact with it, they will know that under the elegant surface of the boss Aaron who is striving to pursue the aristocratic demeanor, in fact, there has always been a group of unexplained anger burning in his heart, exuding infinite The endless viciousness, resentment and anger make people deeply afraid.
Longsan Aaron is actually a knight who has inspired the power of his blood, and is even about to break through some of the limitations of a mortal body and become a strong knight, but the tragedy is that the power of his blood is of a dark nature, so not only Unable to become a real nobleman, get a gifted manor, enjoy a noble and beautiful life, leave the title of lord for future generations, and avoid the church, like a mouse that shuttles through the sewers and dare not run in the sun .
Since the ancient magic empire ruled the sky, the earth, and the sea, and conquered many different dimensions, knights, priests, and other occupations with extraordinary power at that time could not help but consciously refer to magicians in terms of strength division.
The third-ring spell "Flying", the sixth-ring spell "Spell Trigger", and many extremely powerful nine-ring magics have caused a magician's essential leap in strength. Therefore, in the ancient magic empire, mages with one ring and two rings were called elementary magicians, mages with two to five rings were called intermediate magicians, and mages with six to eight rings were called middle-level magicians. It is called a high-level magician, and the nine rings are called an archmage.
With reference to this division, the knights linked the four ranks whose blood power has been greatly improved with the four magician ranks of three, six, nine, and legendary, and then compared and divided the ranks whose strength was not so terrifying, so the bloodlines were stimulated. Strength, after becoming a knight, the first and second ranks are the so-called knights, the third to fifth ranks are great knights, the sixth to eighth ranks are sky knights, the ninth ranks are golden knights, and the above are epic knights.
The same is true for the division of priests, except that after becoming middle-level priests, most of them have become bishops, so levels 3 to 5 are also called bishops, while high-level priests often serve as cardinals. There is no special title for a senior priest. If he can enter the college of cardinals, he will be a cardinal together with those "priests of the Holy Spirit". If not, he will still be a cardinal.
In the entire Principality of Violet, not counting the hidden and secret powerhouses, there are more than four hundred knights, only fifty grand knights, and less than ten sky knights.
And these knights, most of them are members of the Violet Knights, stationed in various vital places.
As a second-level knight, as a strong man who is about to break through to the rank of great knight, how could Longsan Aaron not be angry or resentful about his situation, so he willingly became the black glove of a certain big man , to deal with some shady things for him.
"A faint smell of sulfur, blood, and some other smells." Aaron moved his nose slightly, smelling the remaining breath, and unexpectedly distinguished the most obvious sulfur smell from the dirty and stench mixed with countless smells in the sewer , bloody taste.
After inspiring the power of the blood, not only will one obtain "divine grace", but the abilities of all parts of the body will be greatly improved without conflicting with the power of the blood.
It's a pity that Aaron came to the sewer to investigate after seeing that Jackson and the others hadn't returned for a long time and smelled something dangerous. , were all destroyed by underground rivers, garbage smells, etc., and could only find some insignificant clues, such as the smell of sulfur, the smell of blood, and the traces of blood, brains, and A little scorched black trace of corrosion.
Aaron frowned: "Brain, could it be a water ghost? Huh, will a water ghost know how to deal with traces? Acid, sulfur, it seems to be some reckless magic apprentice. Unfortunately, I arrived too late, and he has already left After a long time, many of the smells may have dissipated long ago, as long as he is more careful, I will not be able to find his trace, and he may have already thought of a way to warn the church or some nobles."
If it is a formal magician, Aaron believes that the ordinary believers of Jackson and others plus the "Silver Horn" do not have the strength to let the opponent leave traces at all.
Considering that the time of more than half an hour is enough for the other party to do a lot of things, and the other party is a magic apprentice, he will not be indifferent to what the "Silver Horn" church does, Aaron's thoughts become simple: "Although you can find the priest of the 'Silver Horn' to cast a spell to track it down, after all, it has been too long, and the chances of success may not be high, and most importantly, if he has already warned the church, in the next period of time, you will Will it be the key to our escape, should it be wasted on tracking him?"
The choice of this kind of thing is naturally not difficult. Longsan Aaron will not risk his life, and it is not worth the risk.
He turned around, kicked his black leather shoes, and rushed towards a certain place in the sewer like a black afterimage.

Lucien was lying on the bed, pretending to be asleep, on high alert, listening to any inexplicable noises in the quiet night outside, until two or three hours later, he felt that the cult and gangsters would not be chasing him, so he fell asleep in a daze for a while.
Before falling asleep, Lucien had been trying hard to analyze the magic ring, so that even if the enemy found him, he would be able to resist with certain strength.
The structure inside the magic ring is a three-dimensional model, but there are no complicated surfaces, curves, etc., and the structural principles contained in it are also within Lucien's understanding, so Lucien reviewed high school mathematics, physics, etc. The results showed up, and it took only one hour, combined with the calculations in the soul library, to analyze it initially, trying to imprint the spiritual power imprint on the core of its magic circle.
The wounded soul caused Lucien to spread the recovered mental power, but he felt a splitting headache, difficulty concentrating, and almost failed to engrave it successfully. Fortunately, leaving a mental imprint was much easier than casting magic, so he barely finished it. However, Lucien himself judged: "I'm afraid that within two days, it will become very difficult to cast magic. It is really troublesome to have your soul wounded."
After leaving the imprint of spiritual power, the message left by the maker of the seal in the magic ring was obtained by Lucien: "The 'Ice Avenger' ring, it is a magic apprentice who was betrayed by his friends. The vengeful object refined by a powerful alchemist, the cold touch can keep people awake and cold like most formal knights, and the second-level magic 'Palmela's Ice Blade' once a day can Let the traitors not only feel the pain of blood flowing, but also enjoy the cold embraced by ice and snow."
The alchemist did not leave his name, but only provided the reason for the casting and the ability of the "Frozen Avenger" ring.
"Its magical effect should be to raise the will to the level of a first-level knight, and the second-level magic 'Palmela's Ice Blade' once a day, according to the classification of magic items, should belong to the second-level intermediate level. The water ghost will mutate, it seems that it is mainly due to the first magic effect." Lucien put the "Ice and Snow Avenger" ring in his pocket, ensuring that he could touch it at any time.
This is because of Lucien's status, and he can't afford to wear such a valuable item, which will arouse suspicion, and Lucien is still in a state where his soul is injured and his spiritual power is difficult to spread, so he can only rely on rubbing to stimulate , and the magical effect of improving the will, it is necessary to directly contact the skin to work.

In the early morning, Lucien forced himself to wake up with bouts of headache, his head was still a little dizzy, and his forehead was hot, as if he had a fever.
"The trauma to the soul will also cause the body to be weak and catch a cold." Lucien sighed, pulled himself together, changed into another linen jacket, and went out of the city without even eating breakfast.
The sun was near the horizon, and the sky was still relatively dark. The cool and fresh air lifted Lucien's spirits, and he got rid of his uncomfortable state a little. After walking for about forty minutes, he finally saw Sir Wayne's manor.
Sir Wayne was born in the Violet Knights, a second-class knight. He left the Knights due to old age and no longer garrisoned the fort near the Dark Mountains. However, when Grand Duke Violet was Earl Violet and the head of the Violet Knights, Wayne The knight developed a friendship with him, so he was often recruited into the court, and he was regarded as the Grand Duke's advisor to the military situation near the Dark Mountains.
The manor is surrounded by a high wall, and there are facilities such as an arrow tower, which shows Sir Wayne's iron-blooded style.
Many farmers are working in the wheat field outside, the gate has been opened, and there are two young men in gray knight uniforms leading seven or eight soldiers to guard. One of them has dark yellow hair and pupils, and the other is Alto's most common brown hair and blue eyes. .
"Who? What are you doing at Sir Wayne's manor?!" The young man with dark blond hair asked sternly when he saw Lucien approaching.
