Ancer didn't expect the calamity that befell the Northern Territory to come and go so quickly. After the cruel battle during the day, he thought he had nowhere else to go and could only close his eyes and wait for death. He didn't expect the Sword of Damocles that had been hanging over his head to vanish without a trace.
Although the monsters were still outside the city, the Copernicus army led by the experts arrived at Storm's End Fortress the next morning, announcing the Northern Territory's victory.
Perhaps it was because they had been oppressed for too long, but the citizens of the city were loudly chanting the names of the Ansai and Bretton Families, wantonly expressing the joy of escaping death. The voices grew louder and louder. Young couples embraced each other on the streets, parents kissed their children, and the elderly were so moved that their eyes were brimming with tears.
However, Rob and Lolo were nowhere to be seen in this grand celebration. In fact, apart from Copernicus, Abbott, and a few others, no one knew that the two had appeared in the Northern Territory.
Rob and Lolo didn't care much about the so-called honor and the title of savior. With the current situation, the more they kept a low profile, the less trouble there would be.
After settling the payment to Abbott, including the part of Rob's understanding of magic devices and the part of the structure found on the brooch (it was the latter that attracted Abbott and made him agree to the deal and willingly become a mole in the Copernicus army), Rob and Lolo left the Northern Territory. Abbott's disciple had obviously received the notice long ago, and after meeting Rob, she drove the floating fortress away.
Before leaving, Rob wrote a letter to Copernicus, informing him of Constantine's whereabouts as per their agreement. However, it was probably useless even if Copernicus knew. Grimm was heavily guarded, and if it weren't for Merlin's secret passage, Rob and Lolo wouldn't have been able to enter. Moreover, after being invaded once, the security level would probably be even higher.
A master weaponsmith like Constantine was very valuable to any faction. If it wasn't for the sake of capturing Lolo, the Church probably wouldn't have made such a deal for Copernicus. Now that the deal had fallen through, the Church would never hand him over.
Based on what Copernicus had said, the Church should have left a spy by Ancel's side. Since the spy was able to find Copernicus the moment they left the Mist Forest, there was a high chance that there was more than one spy. However, Luo Bu was not interested in investigating further. He guessed that it should be someone from Ancel's side. Guard? Maid? However, it was useless even if he dug out these people.
After Karov's disappearance, the Church had thoroughly infiltrated the Bretton Family. Even if the old nails were pulled out, new nails would be hammered in. Ansai was probably well aware of this, so Rob and Lolo didn't bother reminding him.
After Copernicus and his men took care of the four Lords of the Abyss, the two left the Northern Region quietly. Rob didn't have time to care about other things at the moment because Lolo's condition wasn't too good.
For the past two days, Lolo had been dreaming about strange things when she slept. Although she couldn't remember most of the things in her dreams after she woke up, Rob was sharp enough to notice that she was frowning in her dreams. After the serious illness he suffered while searching for Avril and the incident at the top of the snow mountain, Rob had been paying close attention to the situation in Lolo's spiritual world. Therefore, he reacted very quickly this time.
When Steins solved the problem of Lolo's coma, he did a detailed examination of her spiritual world, but he didn't find anything unusual. However, Rob didn't let his guard down. Since it was now confirmed that the thing that targeted Lolo was probably a god that only existed in the Holy Grimoire and the legends, then the other party must have some means that surpassed the modern magical civilization.
There was another thing that Rob had always been concerned about. When Doran rescued Lolo from the castle, he told her two things. The first was that she must become a wizard, and the second was to find the Brothers Academy of Magic of Saint Roland that was hidden in history in Gudilesi.
The latter was easy to understand. Merlin knew the whereabouts of Mother Teresa and the truth of that incident. If he found the Brothers Academy of Magic of Saint Roland, there would be hope of meeting Merlin. Therefore, Rob once thought that the first thing was to serve the second thing, but in fact, the Brothers Academy of Magic of Saint Roland had now been disguised by Merlin as a comprehensive academy. Even non-wizards could sneak in. Rob himself was a swordsman, so from this point of view, Lolo didn't have to become a wizard.
Back in Caldwell, Doran did not even try to hide his desire to possess Luo Luo. He appeared to be in a hurry, which was not in line with his usual style of doing things. Connecting the dots, Luo Bu was certain that Doran already knew that there was not much time left for Luo Luo.
That year, Eluria had also shown signs of mental abnormalities before her death, which meant that this was not a coincidence. In this case, Doran's behavior could be explained. As everyone knew, being a wizard was the only profession in the human world that could cultivate and stabilize one's mental strength. This was probably the reason why Doran wanted Lolo to become a wizard. His real purpose was to let Lolo have the ability to defend her own mental world and resist the invasion. For this reason, he deliberately ignored her talent in swordsmanship … No, it was not low. Doran should be very clear that Lolo couldn't resist the invasion on her own, so his purpose was to buy time so that he could possess Lolo as long as possible.
After understanding this, Rob gave up on the idea of looking for Doran. The latter obviously didn't have a solution to this situation. For now, Rob could only hug the girl tightly in his sleep, wrapping her with his mental strength and blocking her from contact with the outside world.
Thus, Lolo's nightmares at night finally improved. However, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor knew very well that this was not a long-term solution. With his previous experience, Rob knew that no matter what invaded the girl's mental world, it couldn't be treated with common sense. Without a solution, this threat would always exist.
Therefore, Rob didn't intend to delay any longer. Before the situation worsened, he planned to leave everything else behind and rush to the dungeon where Ryan was. Fagan? LK? Freeman's research had proven that the dungeon was the most unique among all the dungeons.
