Lucien did not expect that Sturk would have so many troubles in the past two months. His plan to go to the Kingdom of Holm had been hindered again. However, ever since he came to this world, he had encountered all kinds of difficulties in his life. Thanks to his spirit of never giving up, he had made it to where he was today. He was only one strait away from the Congress of Magic. Compared to the dangers he had encountered before, the obstacles this time were nothing.
Therefore, Lucien asked calmly, "Is he really a traitor? What's his name? "
There were some things that he had to clarify. He did not want to be used as a tool by Sturk's contact, nor did he want to be abandoned in the end.
Ferryman's tone was solemn, "His name is Harrison Brown, an official Knight. Two weeks ago, the Sturk Daily reported that he had received the medal. The reason was that he had defended the glory of the Lord in the darkness and purified nearly fifty lost lambs. If you doubt what I'm saying, you can go to the city library and find that issue of the newspaper. There was even a speech he made in the city council when he received the medal. He showed no remorse for the more than thirty apprentices who had died because of him. You should know that most of the apprentices were only twelve or thirteen years old, and they had only received the basic training of arcana theories. They had not entered the state of meditation yet. "
"I'll check it." Lucien nodded, "But I still have a question."
Ferryman looked at Lucien's slightly dull face, "What is it?"
"According to what I've seen and heard during my travels and my previous experience, the Church has always secretly rewarded these traitors or made them join the Night Watchers directly in order to ensure their safety and prevent them from being retaliated against. I've never heard of anyone being awarded the medal of a Knight openly. Maybe this is a trap? "Lucien would not joke about his own life.
Ferryman was not surprised that Lucien could see through this. For sorcerers like them who grew up under the suppression and pursuit of the Church, although they were still lacking in arcana theories, their sensitivity and adaptability were definitely better than those who had been educated in the safe environment of the Congress. "Yes, we also think that this may be a trap set by the night watchers. But we have to kill him to intimidate those who are ready to make trouble. "
"Even without you, we would have attempted the assassination. Now, I'm giving this to you so that you can pass the test and go to Allyn as soon as possible. If you refuse, that's fine too. Just give me your contact information. I'll let you know if there's anything that can prove your identity in the future. " He paused and said, "If you accept, you can make a request when necessary, and we will help you divert the attention of the night watchers. But we won't tell you how we'll lure them away. After all, you haven't proven your identity yet. "
"As long as you succeed, we will welcome our new companion with the greatest enthusiasm."
He added in his heart, 'If you fail, we won't be implicated.'
"What is Harrison Brown's bloodline power? What kind of extraordinary weapons or items do you have? What was the pattern of their activities? I'm sure you've already collected the information. " Lucien asked with a smile. As an official sorcerer, he was very confident that he could kill a Knight of the same level even in a face-to-face battle, not to mention a sneak attack. The main problem lay in other aspects. "Through the information, I can be sure that I can kill Harrison Brown and get rid of them while he's under the protection of the night watchers."
Ferryman was very satisfied to talk to such a smart sorcerer. He said straightforwardly, "Brown's bloodline power is' regeneration '. It's a good bloodline from trolls. It's strong and fast. As long as his head is not cut off, he can regenerate indefinitely before the energy in his body is exhausted. Of course, since it's the bloodline of trolls, acid and fire can destroy his regeneration and kill him for real. "
"Originally, he had a level-one extraordinary weapon, Withered Short Spear, which was given by the Congress, with additional poison damage. Later, the Church rewarded him with a level-two extraordinary item, Shield of Demon Hunters. Besides the defense of a level-two Knight, it can also absorb some elemental damage. As for whether or not he has other extraordinary items, we don't know. "
"His pattern of activity is …"
Ferryman told Lucien all the information he collected about Brown. Lucien listened quietly and analyzed the possible opportunities.
Except for the clerics, nobles, and famous members of the upper class in Sturk City, Brown did not accept visits from other people. He seldom went out. He liked oil painting and wax figurines. It was said that he would go to Lance in five months … The information echoed in Lucien's mind. It was not until Ferryman finished that Lucien asked for confirmation, "The morning after tomorrow, Brown will attend the opening ceremony of Sauger's wax museum?"
"Yes. Sauger, the wax artist, promised Brown that before he went to Lance, he would make a lifelike wax figure for him and put it in the museum as a reward for his contribution to the fight against darkness. Therefore, he will definitely attend the opening ceremony. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the night watchers asked him to come out more often. " Ferryman answered and repeated, "At that time, if you need us to distract the night watchers, please let us know in advance."
"Okay, I'll try." Lucien accepted the matter with a dull expression.
After agreeing with Ferryman on the location and mark, Lucien took the boat into the darkness and used both magic and Knight's means to get rid of the stalkers.
…
In the middle of the next night, Lucien, wearing a black robe with a hood, appeared beside a stone arch bridge. It was one of the two bridges that led to the island where Sauger's wax museum was located, and it was the best choice from Brown's villa to the island. If he took the other bridge, he would have to take a big detour.
In addition, as far as Lucien knew, because Sauger, the wax artist, was very popular in Sturk, there would be many nobles and big businessmen coming to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow. Their private pointed boats would definitely fill up the water near the wax museum. Therefore, even if Sauger took the pointed boat through the canal, he would disembark on the water here and then go to the wax museum through the stone arch bridge.
It was the latter half of the night. The sky was full of stars, and the water was reflecting the light. It was quiet everywhere.
Lucien stood by the bridge, pressed his hands on the bridge, and opened his mouth to make a silent scream.
Ripples were transmitted from Lucien's hands to the stone arch bridge and then fed back. Gradually, the stone bridge began to shake more and more violently, more and more violently, and more and more violently.
"Professor's Resonance Hand!"
Seeing that the stone bridge was about to reach its limit and would collapse at any moment, Lucien suddenly stopped and watched as it gradually calmed down. There was no change at all.
However, in fact, the internal structure of the stone bridge had been greatly damaged. Although there was no possibility of it collapsing, it was enough to make some changes that Lucien hoped for.
…
A black pointed boat engraved with the coat of arms stopped at the side of the street. Harrison Brown disembarked with his entourage. He looked at the impressive pointed boats docked on the opposite side, and could not help but show a yearning look. When would he be able to have the same status as them?
After watching for a few minutes in silence, Brown walked to the stone arch bridge a hundred meters away, surrounded by his entourage. There were many people coming and going, but nothing unusual happened.
As he walked, Brown looked around. Although he knew that there were several powerful night watchers around to protect and monitor him, he also knew that his betrayal had angered the Congress of Magic, so he had to be extra careful.
"But I have to follow the Church's request. I have to come out occasionally. Hopefully, I'll be safe in the next few months. When I get to Lance, I'll be able to relax and enjoy my life. "
With this caution, Brown and his attendants stepped onto the stone arch bridge.
At this time, on a pointed boat not far away from the bridge, Lucien nodded to a wagon on the bank, "Remember to send this wagon of steel to Utaka's company. This is your reward. "
The young man who was driving the wagon put on an honest smile, "Don't worry, sir."
The wagon slowly moved, and Lucien also signaled the boatman to row the pointed boat. It seemed that the boatman was going to cross the stone arch bridge.
The heavy wagon drove onto the stone arch bridge not far away, and Brown had just walked to the center of the bridge.
Harrison Brown walked slowly and looked around. However, the pedestrians coming and going were all so ordinary. The ones who looked quite strong were also the entourage of the nobles.
"They wouldn't jump in knowing that it's a trap, would they? Especially since it's only been two weeks. It's the most vigilant time. Well, maybe the Congress of Magic will attack me on my way to the Holy City! "Brown was not worried about the current situation, but he was worried about the journey in five months.
Just as Brown's thoughts were flying, he suddenly felt a wave-like vibration coming from under his feet, as if the stone arch bridge was about to collapse.
"Attack!" It was Brown's subconscious reaction. Then, the ivory light on his body suddenly lit up, and white feathers covered his body.
The level three divine spell, Angel's Feather!
At the same time, he pulled out a short spear with a green tip with his right hand and took the shield from his entourage with his left hand.
He had done all of this so quickly, fully demonstrating his rich combat experience.
However, the wave-like vibration gradually subsided, and the stone bridge soon returned to normal.
"Is it because the bridge has not been maintained for a long time?" Harrison Brown thought in surprise. He looked around and saw quite a few pointed boats passing by. On the head of one of the boats, there was a handsome young man with his hands behind his back. The young man was wearing a black suit, and he was looking at Harrison Brown on the bridge with a smile on his face.
Then, the pointed boat went under the stone arch bridge.
… …
"Just now, when the stone bridge was shaking, there were about ten people who reacted differently from ordinary people. Excluding the few noble knights, there were about five night watchers. They were the adventurer on Brown's right side, the businessman in luxurious clothes who was walking down the bridge quickly, the couple behind Brown, and the boatman on the pointed boat behind me."
"Other than the Spear of Withering and the shield of the demon hunter, Brown also had a level three divine item …"
Lucien looked at the water in front of him and followed the pointed boat to disappear at the crossing of the canal.
From the very beginning, Lucien did not really want to collapse the stone bridge, because it was too dangerous to do it directly when even the night watchers were not sure. Also, the chaos caused by the collapse of the stone bridge might not be very effective.
