Isabelle in the living room still had the long blond hair and blue eyes that Leylin was familiar with, but her beautiful face seemed to be covered with ice at this moment, her eyes were cold and sharp, and her body was filled with a strange Do not enter with a sense of danger.
The opponent was wearing tight leather and soft armor, and a black sheathed long sword hung from his waist, forming a graceful arc with his slender thighs.
From this cousin's body, Leylin clearly sensed a cold and desperate temperament, as well as a deeply hidden flame of revenge and a trace of... evil!
"Long time no see! Cousin Leylin! I'm glad you're still safe and sound!"
Isabelle spoke slowly, her voice was dry. Only when she looked at Leylin, did the other party's ice-like eyes show some signs of melting, revealing a little warmth.
"Auntie, I'm leaving first!"
Isabelle bid farewell to Sarah and left, and Sarah's eyes turned red at this time.
"What exactly happened?" Leylin's face darkened only after Isabelle left.
"Woo... my poor sister..." Madam Sarah began to cry, and Leylin could only helplessly stay by her side.
Through his mother's intermittent description, Leylin also roughly heard the situation.
His cousin, Isabelle's family, underwent major changes a few months ago and was slaughtered bloody, leaving many traces of demons and demons at the scene. It can be guessed that it was related to some evil god ritual.
Almost none of the family descendants present at the time was spared, only Isabelle, who was still in the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture, escaped by chance.
Although Isabelle's father was not an orthodox nobleman, he also had a temporary knighthood, although it was only for life. This behavior immediately aroused the anger of the nobles and the church, and the city hall even announced that the murderer must be found.
And there is another problem here: the other family has always been the agent of the Faolan family in the Danbras Kingdom on the mainland. The consequence of being wiped out is that the Faolan family has completely lost the news and intelligence channels on the mainland. , not to mention that there are still a series of troubles that need to be settled - no matter what, getting involved with the evil god is always very troublesome, and Leylin's father in this life has already set sail directly to the mainland when he got the news. above to solve these.
"You have to comfort Cousin Isabelle, she only has us relatives, and I heard that she was assassinated before, oh! My poor child..."
Madam Sarah was crying, while Leylin nodded solemnly.
The cousin Isabelle just now obviously did not have the temperament that a priest should have. Obviously, the blood feud of the family, or a series of stimuli afterwards, led the other party to embark on the road of bloody revenge, maybe even What rituals and sacrifices were carried out secretly.
"Huh? At this point in time, did Bishop Tablis already know about it?"
Leylin suddenly realized that with the news channel of the temple, the other party might indeed get the news before him, so this invitation is very interesting.
"The rain is coming!"
Leylin walked out of the living room, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky, his face was also gloomy.
"I always feel that something is wrong..." Leylin stroked his chin slowly: "Cousin's family can even be said to be a branch of our Faolan family in the Kingdom of Dambreth, and this kind of behavior does not seem to be aimed at them at all. , on the contrary, it seems that they came here specifically for our family... "
"Perhaps, it is the new kingdom territory of Faolan Island that has aroused the covetousness of other great nobles, or is it the sequelae of the previous eradication of pirates?"
Many possibilities slowly emerged in front of Leylin, and when he came back to his senses again, he was already standing in front of Ernest's room.
"Is it Leylin? I still have important experiments to do..."
Ernest's dissatisfied voice came from the room.
"Sorry, Teacher, but I think we need to have a long talk!" Leylin had a smile on his face, as if he was not affected by the other party at all.
"Alright then! It's only half an hour!" The door opened, revealing Ernest's tired face, with disheveled hair, deep shadows and bags under the eyes.
After entering the room, there were dirty clothes and other debris everywhere, and there was almost no clean and tidy place except the laboratory.
Leylin swept away a gray shirt thrown on the sofa, and sat down directly.
At this moment, Ernest seemed to have thought of something, he wiped his face, and looked at his gifted student.
"Leylin! It seems that you have encountered some trouble... Did you tell me about the Temple of Knowledge this morning? It doesn't seem worth it, or something else..."
Ernest was still very concerned about Leylin, a student with great future prospects.
"Yes! It's a big trouble..." Leylin had a wry smile on his face, and began to narrate slowly.
"In that case, do you want me to take action to keep the manor safe for you?"
Ernest raised his eyebrows lightly, as if he had seen through Leylin's plan, and it must be said that this might also be the best choice for the other party.
"No! No! Actually, I want to ask the teacher..." Leylin shook his head slowly, and said another request, which caused Ernest to look at his students with wide eyes in surprise.
A moment later, a huge flying bird soared into the sky from the manor, and there seemed to be a figure sitting cross-legged on it.
"As a student, I really know how to instigate the teacher..." The figure was naturally Ernest, but the other party was still muttering cursing and cursing while he was on his way.
"With the strength of my father's guards and a ninth-level mage, I should be able to face many dangers and challenges..."
Leylin stood at the window, watched the bird fly farther and farther, and turned into a small black spot in the sky, he couldn't help muttering to himself.
In fact, if he is the mastermind behind this conspiracy, killing Isabelle's family and making Baron Faoran lose his communication point on the mainland is only the first step. Next, he will definitely set up traps to stop the baron going to the mainland one line.
After all, the Faolan family is a new aristocratic family. Once the leader, Baron Jonas, dies, leaving a pair of orphans and widows without other support, it must be very easy to deal with.
Therefore, protecting the safety of the baron and his party is the key to breaking the situation!
And in this matter, the only high-level combat power that the Faolan family can rely on is probably the ninth-level mage Ernest.
"With the interests of our small island and port, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch the eyes of those big nobles. After all, the level is too low, so the power that the other party also has is not very high. With the strength of Mr. Ernest, combined with With the strength of the family, I hope this matter can be resolved smoothly... "
Leylin's gaze flickered.
Of course, even if the other party focused most of their attention on Baron Jonas, there would be no arrangements for the Faolan family here.
Originally, all of this could be left to Ernest, and at worst, it could protect the safety of Leylin's mother and child. Maybe Baron Jonas also saw this and didn't invite his old friend to set off together. But now Leylin is Destroyed all the opponent's arrangements.
"With the addition of Mentor Ernest, there is obviously no need to worry about the baron's defense, but the manor's defense has been greatly weakened..."
Leylin sighed: "I need to make up for this deficiency by myself..."
For a long time, Leylin had been secretly training his mage abilities, but he had no chance to actually fight.
Of course, based on his rebirth experience, this kind of problem is not difficult for him at all, so he is also very much looking forward to the practice of a few thieves.
"Okay, let's see what my mentor has left for me..."
Leylin went back into the room and fiddled with a few things on the table. Ernest was not an idiot either, so he was naturally prepared for his own safety as a student, and left some self-defense items for Leylin.
"Well, let me take a look..." Leylin's eyes were a little curious, and he quickly cleared the things on the table.
There were not many items left by Ernest, only three items, a swarthy ring, and two unknown scrolls, with some spell circuits on them, exuding a mysterious brilliance.
"Appraisal technique!" Leylin flicked his finger, and several white lights rushed towards him, bringing back specific information.
"A magic ring with an attack deflection shield, and two scrolls of fourth-level spells, um! One is stone skin, and the other is an attacking ice storm..."
Judging from the types of these two spells, it is obvious that Ernest created something himself, and it is also the highest level he can produce at his current level, and he has to bear a high probability of failure for this.
Leylin put the ring on his hand and played with the scroll in his hand.
Level 4 spell scrolls can even turn the tide of battle in many cases, and Leylin is well aware of their value.
Although many of the magic materials used to make the scrolls were provided by the Faolan family, Leylin couldn't help feeling warm in his heart because of the way the other party did this.
"With these few magic items, my safety is more guaranteed, or, my original plan has to be revised..."
Leylin pondered and returned to his room, and sent Sister Claire away.
"Chip! Call up my current data!" Leylin ordered.
