Volume Eight Purgatory Chapter Eighteen Night Battle
The night is getting darker, and the light in the study room of the City Lord's Mansion is still lit.
An old man sat calmly in front of the desk, with a white face and no beard, wearing a simple mage robe. The old man's face was calm, and documents kept flowing from his left to his right. It was Leilage, the lord of the school city.
In front of him, there was another knight in steel armor standing solemnly.
"Eisen Hall is dead."
Buckley, the commander of the city guards, stood with his head bowed, not daring to peek at the face of the city lord. His voice was very low.
The tip of the pen trembled, and there was no expression on Leila Ge's face. Since the commander of the city guards could report it in person, it would naturally not be a natural death... After pondering for a while, Leila slowly said: "When did it happen? At what time did it happen?
What happened?"
There was no anger in the Lord's voice, but Buckley felt even more uneasy and cautiously replied: "The murder occurred in a poor street in the east of the city. According to the identification, the time should be between eight and eight thirty tonight.
In addition to Aisen, the other dead were his eighth-level knight Galata, his coachman Kara, and a nearby poor man. In addition, the bodies of Aisen and Galata had a strong smell of undead magic left on them.
, the coachman and the poor seemed to have been killed by spiritual magic, and there was a gap caused by the impact on Galata's sword..."
Buckley glanced at the city lord. He could not see any expression on his face as deep as the sea. After a moment of hesitation, Buckley continued: "Judging from the fact that the murderer escaped with one blow and there was no sign of being disturbed on the body of the deceased,
This should be a deliberate murder. Judging from the murder scene, the murderer should be between two or three people, a necromancer, a spiritual mage, and possibly a warrior. Of course, it may also be a powerful undead creature summoned by the necromancer.
And they can easily kill eighth-level knights and seventh-level magicians. These murderers are extremely powerful..."
Necromancer...spiritual magic...is still so powerful...
Leilage inadvertently twitched his brows, put down his pen, stood up, and ordered in a deep voice: "Inform Mrs. Bertha to inquire about the people who have had trouble with Eisen recently; the city is under martial law, and anyone suspicious will be
Find out the details one by one; in addition, inform Master Bird to investigate the information about the necromancer who has been staying in the city and has strength above level seven... I will give you three days. If I can't find any clues, I will
Don’t want to see you here again. Go!”
The calm voice without any emotion shook Buckley's body: "Yes, sir."
The city guard commander quickly turned around and left.
………………
As if overnight, many heavily armed city guards suddenly appeared on the major streets of the school city.
Through the window of the hotel, Nilac noticed that all of these city guards had solemn expressions. Anyone who behaved suspiciously on the street would be subject to detailed interrogation by them, and even the carriages of many nobles and wealthy families would be stopped by them.
After checking, it was found that unlike in the past, these nobles and wealthy families ignored their rudeness. At most, they only grunted a few times and opened the carriage for them to check.
"The power of the Hall family is really great! Even these aristocratic families who care about face the most will bow to the city guards in order to avoid suspicion, but..."
Nilac smiled slightly. Just as he planned in advance, most of the eyes of these city guards were cast on the man dressed as a magician.
Always shrinking in the room will arouse suspicion.
Nilac waved his hand, sucked the big sword into his hand, released a little strong momentum, turned around, and the powerful giant swordsman walked straight out of the door...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed quickly
Although he had been interrogated several times, it was obvious that the city guard's attention was not on the mighty swordsman, and there were no loopholes in the rhetoric that Nilak had prepared. The necromancer easily avoided everyone's suspicion.
.
However, when the City Guards were searching the whole city, Nilac saw an old acquaintance, Knight, Yuhi's comrade, who actually joined the City Guards at this time. Judging from the many subordinates surrounding him, he had become a
Not a big or small officer.
However, although they were old acquaintances, Nilak had even changed his body at this time, so how could Knight recognize him.
And even if he recognized him, the Earl would probably pretend that he didn't know that the Hall family had a strong hatred for him. Not only did they cut off his financial resources, but Kaili also died at their hands in Chidi Town.
.
After passing by Knight, Nilac quickly returned to the hotel. The place where he now lives is still opposite the Hall family stronghold. Here, no figure who enters or exits the opposite door can escape his sensitive eyes.
Feel.
"If an important person like Eisen dies, what kind of master will Grand Hall send to deal with it..."
Nilac had some expectations. What he hoped for most was that the Grand Duke would come in person. If there were not many experts to protect him, even if a little bit of his divine power was consumed, even if his whereabouts were exposed, he would do his best to kill him.
Closing his eyes, Nilac lay down on the bed, and the room quickly became quiet.
Xuanyin Art slowly flowed through the body, and gradually Nilac let out a slight breathing sound, as if he had fallen asleep.
The night is getting darker and darker, and even the busy streets are starting to become quiet.
The sleeping Nilac suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, his eyes opened wide, and he thought again. Silently, powerful mental power began to gather, but he could not detect even a single figure.
Slowly sitting up, a powerful mental storm gathered in his mind, and Nilac said quietly: "Who is it? It's so late. Since you're here, why don't you show up to see her."
Nilac believed in the intuition of the body, and the feeling of God's body was sometimes clearer than the perception of his mental power.
There was deathly silence in the darkness, but Nilak raised his vigilance to the extreme. Anyone who could escape from his mental power detection must be an extremely powerful guy.
After a while, suddenly a black shadow rose silently from the ground and gradually turned into a human figure. The darkness could not block Nilac's sight. He was a middle-aged man in black clothes with a middle-aged face.
It's so ordinary that if you throw him into the crowd, everyone will ignore him.
The man in black laughed dryly, but gave people a cold feeling, and said in a strange tone: "Mr. Su is really good at it. This is the first time in the past decades that I have been noticed without showing murderous intent."
Come out, no wonder you can easily kill...hehe, kill him."
The words of the man in black made Nilac's heart move. There were very few people who knew the identity of "Su", and Hand of Dis was one of them. The ability of the man in black to emerge from the shadows was exactly the same as that of the old killer.
The methods used in the God-Eating War are very similar...
As if he had not heard the probing words of the man in black, Nilac snorted coldly: "One month has not come yet, maybe you have already collected the things?"
The man in black smiled and did not explain much about Nilac's words: "It's not convenient to talk here, how about we talk outside?"
Before Nilac could react, the window suddenly opened and the figure of the man in black quickly jumped out.
Not only talking, but also acting here was extremely inconvenient. When he saw the man in black coming out, Nilac's face changed, and he jumped out, and the window closed gently again.
The two figures fled quickly in the darkness, but after a while, Nilac followed the man in black to an open space ten miles away from the city.
Coincidentally, the two stopped at the same time.
The mental storm in Nilac's mind accumulated even more fiercely. The strange speed of the man in black along the way aroused his greater vigilance. With a slight snort, Nilac looked directly into the eyes of the man in black and said in a deep voice: "Say,
What on earth do you want me to talk about here?"
There was a faint smile on the face of the man in black, and he opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to speak. Suddenly his figure moved, turning into a black light and rushing towards Nilac. A short blade floated in his hand, and there were some bright spots on the short blade.
Decorated with black light.
In just a flash, the man in black was in front of Nilac, and the short blade struck mercilessly, stabbing Nilac straight into the heart.
"snort!"
Nilac was well prepared, snorted coldly, his heartbeat suddenly became ten times stronger, and the huge pressure caused everything within a radius of five meters to sink.
As soon as the purple light lit up, the mental storm that had been accumulated for a long time rushed out in a turbulent manner. Nirak didn't even look at the short blade that the man in black was stabbing at the heart. Instead, he moved a flawless hand and grabbed the man in black's heart.
.
Naturally, Nilac would not do anything that would put his life on the line. After the body and body merged into one, his heart was no longer his vital point. Even if he was stabbed by the man in black, it would only take him a while to recover, and with this little
In exchange for the life of the mysterious and treacherous man in black, it was a good deal.
The man in black seemed to have been wary of the mental storm for a long time, and suddenly a cold murderous intent shot out of his eyes. The murderous intent and the mental storm collided, and both dissipated into the void.
The sudden burst of powerful pressure in Nilac's heart only slowed his movements slightly, but the heart-grabbing blow that hurt both sides made his expression change.
The man in black had no intention of dying together. Suddenly, his figure flashed and turned into a black shadow and dived into the darkness. In another flash, he appeared from behind Nilac, and the dark short blade ran straight towards his vest.
The man in black's method of turning into a shadow is really elusive, and his real strength is still higher than that of Nilac, and he seems to have been prepared for the mental storm... Nilac secretly said something difficult, and his figure suddenly jumped into the sky, dodging the short blade.
attack.
Standing seven or eight meters high in the air, Nilac moved his hands continuously, and a series of slowing spells, paralysis spells, and weakness spells rained down from the sky overwhelmingly. Purple light stared at the ground, waiting for the man in black to leap into the sky from the shadows.
, when he strikes a fatal blow, Nilak will take advantage of his inability to move in the air and kill him with one strike in a way that will hurt both sides.
Although it is still unclear where he offended him, every move struck at Nilac's heart, and there must be little room for maneuver.
The necromancer has a strong murderous intention in his heart, and it is not a good thing to be noticed by a killer with at least level nine strength...
