Bathing in the light of the silver moon, Lucien turned into a blurred shadow and carefully ran in the dark Melzer Forest. The route he chose was the border between the outer part of the forest where common adventurers often appeared and the deep part of the forest where powerful dark creatures hid. Along the way, Lucien could see some weak goblin tribes around bonfires, as well as wild wolves, black bears and other fierce creatures.
Phyllis's manor was located in the opposite direction of Larnaca Canyon and Masol River. However, after activating his Blessing, Lucien's speed and stamina had improved greatly. Twenty minutes later, he could already see the beautiful Masol River, which was covered by a layer of moonlight, from afar.
Therefore, Lucien stopped and became even more cautious.
… …
Outside the eastern entrance of the "Larnaca" canyon was the "Masol River". It flowed all the way to the east and finally merged into the "Belem River". Therefore, there was a river bank here, with beautiful river pebbles everywhere.
In the dark forest, a black figure walked out. He was tall and strong, and his face was covered by the hood. On his shoulder, there was a strange bird with bright red skin but no feathers.
Fire Wolf looked around vigilantly, and at the same time, he cast detection spells to check the surroundings. However, he found nothing unusual.
He walked slowly step by step. His heart was full of anxiety, but he did not dare to look back. Clown, the leader of the night watchers, was afraid that the cunning Professor would notice the ambush too early and would not show up again. Therefore, Clown hid far away and waited for Lucien's signal.
"I hope that I can get the magic potion from the inquisition and become an official sorcerer. Then I can join the night watchers and stop being such a dangerous spy."
Even though Fire Wolf was focused on casting spells, his heart was beating faster. He had always been worried that he would be hunted down by the sorcerers if his identity was exposed. Now, he was facing a powerful sorcerer who was at least a third circle sorcerer. Although the captain of the night watchers was very fast, and it would take him at most thirty seconds to come out from his hiding place, Fire Wolf was not sure if he could withstand Professor's attack in thirty seconds.
Thinking of this, Fire Wolf touched his bracelet. It was a level-three magic item, Fire Weaver's Bracelet, which was rewarded by the Church. He could only rely on it to stall Professor for thirty seconds and save his life.
It was already 10: 40. Fire Wolf walked to the entrance of the canyon, but Professor was still not there. It was so quiet that he could only hear the roars of the beasts far away.
Fire Wolf waited anxiously for a while. Seeing that Professor was still not here, he looked around. Suddenly, he saw a huge rock in the canyon.
Holding the casting materials, Fire Wolf cautiously walked over and saw a line of words written with green fluorescent powder on the boulder.
"Change location. Meet me in the Black Forest in the south of the canyon …" There was a corresponding constellation symbol attached.
Although Fire Wolf was not good at Astrology, he could still calculate the location according to the constellation symbol. Soon, he figured out the specific location.
Fire Wolf was not surprised by Professor's sudden change of plan. It was a common method to prevent being followed and monitored. If the professor didn't do that when meeting with unfamiliar apprentices, Fire Wolf would think that there was something wrong with the whole thing.
Using Fire Feather, Fire Wolf reported the change to the captain of the night watchers. Then Fire Wolf walked into the Black Forest.
This time, the location given by Professor was quite far away. It took Fire Wolf more than ten minutes to reach the designated location. The surroundings were surrounded by tall black fir trees, which completely blocked the moonlight. It was completely dark.
At the same time, from the other direction of the Black Forest came a few more roars of beasts, which made Fire Wolf's hair stand on end.
However, the roars made Fire Wolf feel a bit relieved, because they were the signal that the night watchers had followed him and were hiding.
Some of the night watchers who were good at hiding dispersed and quietly checked the surroundings, fearing that they might fall into Professor's ambush.
Time went by, but Professor still did not show up. Fire Wolf became more and more impatient. He paced back and forth on the spot. "Did Professor find something wrong?"
It was 11: 30. Half an hour had passed since the appointed time, but there was still no sound in the dark forest.
The night watchers who were hiding in the distance gradually lost their patience. They thought that Professor might have sensed something wrong. Therefore, a captain of the night watchers, who was wearing black leather armor, black gloves, and a clown mask, used a unique method to tell his hiding companions, "Take Fire Wolf as the center and search within five hundred meters of the Black Forest. Professor has either left after finding something wrong, or he is still hiding in this distance."
Clown, the captain of the night watchers, was making a last effort.
Minsk and the other night watchers, who were wearing white suits, immediately took action. They sneaked into the darkness and searched everywhere.
After searching for a hundred meters in the Black Forest to the west of Fire Wolf, Minsk, who had light red hair, found an ordinary ranger's cabin. There was no light in the cabin. It was dark and quiet.
… …
In the forest on the other side of the ranger's hut, a night watcher had fallen to the ground quietly. His face was full of shock and fear. His blood mixed with white brain matter flowed out of the holes on his head and seeped into the black soil, making it more fertile.
Next to the dead night watcher stood a tall and thin man. He was wearing a black trench coat with a silver horn on it. He was giving off a creepy and creepy vibe. He was putting his right index finger, which was covered in brain matter, into his mouth.
After sucking a few times, the tall and thin man said to the crystal ball in his left hand in confusion, "Your Excellency, they are here to hunt down a sorcerer. It's just a coincidence that they ran into each other."
"Coincidence? Also, they will soon find the entrance to the relic if they keep searching like this. So, Dragan, cooperate with the other Knight and kill them all. Anyway, we can blame it on the sorcerer's ambush. "An old and decaying voice came out of the crystal ball.
Since Argent Horn was hiding here, they must have closely monitored the nearby area. Therefore, when Fire Wolf came, they were soon discovered by the priests. Then, when the night watchers checked the ambush and searched for Professor, their traces were exposed to the cultists.
"As you wish, Your Excellency. Haha, killing is like dancing. I like this feeling. " Dragan sucked his finger again. His black trench coat fluttered backward, and he directly merged into the darkness.
Under the joint attack of Dragan and the other Knights, the night watchers were killed one after another without knowing who the enemy was.
… …
Since the inquisition suspected that Professor knew that there were spies in the circle of sorcerers and that the whole thing was a trap set by him, in order to catch Professor and his possible helpers alive, the inquisition sent out two night watchers, thirty of whom were official priests and knights. Among them, there were even four captains and vice-captains who were in the level of grand knights!
Since there were only five full night watchers in the Inquisition of Orvarit, except for the fact that the leaders of the Inquisition were distracted by Camil's "great scheme", this was almost half of the total strength of the Inquisition, because there were only five night watchers in total!
According to the Church's intelligence and judgment, no matter what kind of ambush or trap Professor had, the night watchers could solve it directly.
Every night watcher was an expert who had experienced many battles in the dark. Therefore, after the first seven or eight night watchers died silently, the remaining night watchers all sensed that something was wrong. The smell of blood and death seemed to be drifting in the forest!
In the dark, Clown, the captain of the night watchers, tried to contact his team members. However, as soon as he used his unique method, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Without any hesitation, he rolled forward without caring about his image.
A ball of darkness flew out from the forest and hit the spot where the clown was hiding. The soil, rocks, grass, and trees disappeared without a trace as if they had evaporated into thin air.
The rapidly rolling 'clown' started to move his ten fingers rapidly as if he was playing a piano. With his control, a blurry shadow was pulled out from the darkness of the forest, and his limbs moved in an uncoordinated manner.
The guy who was pulled out was Dragan, the Night Killer. He did not panic and continued to go deeper into the darkness, trying to get rid of the invisible threads. At the same time, he looked at the clown and sneered, "So it's you, the guy with the 'puppet' bloodline. You actually escaped from the darkness and became the lackey of the inquisition."
"This is the 'Bloodline of Manipulation' that the Lord gave me. It is completely different from your 'Bloodline of Darkness'." Clown also recognized Dragan, but his funny clown mask completely covered all his facial expressions.
Clown continued to manipulate the figure's hands and feet while activating the amulet. A ray of light flew into the air and was about to explode into the shape of the Saint Truth Emblem to inform the church's leaders.
However, at this time, an obvious black ripple surged from the direction of the forest keeper's hut and hit the light. The light disappeared completely before it exploded.
"Magic Power Devour", a level-six evil spell (quasi-divine spell), was cast by an expert as strong as a red robe!
…
In the underground relic, five people in silver priest robes were looking at the two high priests in the center of the altar.
One of them, a bald old man with many mysterious symbols on his head, said in an old and decaying voice, "You're all priests blessed by the true God. Now it's time for you to show your devotion to the true God. Lead the priests out and cooperate with the Knight to eliminate all the lackeys of the evil God of Truth."
The other high priest, whose entire body was shrouded in a silver robe, spoke with a voice as cold as the winter. "Although I've intercepted their call for help just now, and other than the people in the Black Forest nearby, there's no other place to see them. There won't be any reinforcements from the Evil Gods for the time being. However, time is precious. To prevent any accidents, you have to settle this as soon as possible."
"Your will is the will of God, dear high priest," the five priests answered in unison. The five priests answered at the same time and left the temple. They led the priests, a small number of reserve knights, and knight squires to the exit of the underground palace.
The two high priests stayed in the temple. On the one hand, they wanted to intercept the call for help from the night watchers. On the other hand, they wanted to prevent other powerful enemies from showing up so that they could make decisions in time. After all, things were always a bit strange.
As for the night watchers, they were confident that they could deal with them. If the night watchers escaped, the dark forest would become the playground of the dark Knight.
…
Although Clown's signal for help was intercepted, it was enough to alert the other Night Watchers and Fire Wolves in the surrounding Black Forest that something was amiss. Hence, the Dark Knights began to struggle. The Night Watchers slowly gathered in Clown's direction, which was also the forest keeper's hut.
A night watcher wearing a white bishop's robe was strolling in the Black Forest piously with a thick Canon in his hand. As he flipped the pages of the Canon, an enormous flame-like light fell from the sky and hit a dark knight, burning him into ashes.
It was the level four divine spell, Flame Strike.
What was even more terrifying was that the night watcher had just cast Flame Strike without any delay. As the Canon flipped again, a burning wall of fire appeared in front of the two night watchers, helping them to resist the attack of the dark Knight.
He was another captain of the night watchers, the "Canon Keeper", a level five bishop. He was willing to give up his honorable life under the sun. For the glory of the God of Truth, he carried out endless battles in the dark.
In other places, the night watchers also started to fight with the dark Knight. Explosions and lights made Lucien, who was sitting on the treetop far away, able to judge the situation.
Lucien swayed along with the treetop in the night wind. For the time being, he did not want to get close to the hut. He had to wait patiently for a while. Therefore, Lucien held the branch with both hands and watched the "fireworks" leisurely.
…
Minsk resisted the first wave of the dark Knight's assassination with the powerful defensive ability of the Red Dragon Scale. After a while, Clown, the Canon Holder, and the other night watchers finally arrived.
Out of the thirty night watchers, only eighteen were left. Almost half of them were gone! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
