The clouds in the sky were dyed a layer of gold by the setting sun, blending in with the wheat fields in the distance. Ivorson City was also dyed a layer of light gold, which looked particularly charming. Surdak was lying high in the sky.
On top of the haystack, I squinted my eyes to enjoy the evening breeze and the setting sun.
Surdak's maroon Gubo Lai horse followed slowly behind, looking relaxed and comfortable.
The carriage pulling alfalfa hay slowly drove towards the airport terminal, and the airport terminal in the distance also appeared in the field of vision.
Antonio didn't need to come to the airport terminal. He was sitting in the hay cart to see Suldak off.
Surdak touched the magic storage belt around his waist. This magic belt was bought from the magic leather merchant Kit's leather goods store in the afternoon. People in the Green Empire like to call it a magic waist bag.
The fanny pack cost Surdak seven magic crystals.
When buying the magic belt, Antonio was originally going to sponsor some of Surdak's magic crystals, but when he saw Surdak taking out seven magic crystals without changing his expression, Antonio swallowed those words again, but Antonio didn't.
I thought that a knight could be so rich.
Then Antonio found such a carriage loaded with alfalfa in the city through connections, and the two left Ivorson City before the city gate closed.
Suldak, who was lying on the haystack, finally let out a long breath. It seems that no one in the Bussman family has discovered the real cause of Earl Joan Bussman's death. But at the same time, he also has something in his heart.
With a little doubt, he asked Antonio: "You openly assassinated Count Josie on the way, but why did you suddenly change your focus during the subsequent assassination and wanted to create the illusion that Count Josie died of natural causes?"
Antonio turned his head and glanced at Suldak. Seeing that he was very curious, he thought it didn't matter even if he said it, so he explained:
"I originally planned to pose as an evil mage from the Black Magic Monastery and conduct an assassination operation against..."
"It's a pity that it didn't succeed at the time. Later, I really didn't want to continue to intensify the conflict between the traditional aristocratic forces and the magician aristocracy, so I wanted to find a more secure solution."
"The original plan was to sneak into his bedroom secretly, then tie his hands and feet with the 'wind binding', and then suffocate him with a pillow,"
When the young magician spoke, his language was smooth and natural, and he did not have any violent fluctuations in his mood because of the discussion of murder.
The two of them didn't speak loudly, and they weren't worried about being heard by the farmer driving the truck in front.
Surdak asked again: "Then you know the actions of the guards in the castle very well. Is it the magician in the castle who is helping you?"
Antonio narrowed his eyes and smiled mysteriously, saying ambiguously: "Hey, you know, there are some things I can't admit."
The two of them were lying on the top of the haystack of the carriage, chatting all the way.
"...It is a very ancient evil black magic ritual. It is said that after sacrificing a living person to the evil god, the sacrificer will eat the heart, liver and head, and gain a more powerful soul. If he eats the limbs, he will have a young and powerful soul."
Physically, Count Josie is timid, hypocritical and cowardly in nature. He wants to become stronger, but he does not have the perseverance to persevere. In the end, he is only willing to use evil rituals."
"For the past hundred years, the Black Magic Hermitage has been conducting this series of magic research. The law enforcement team of our magic union has been tracking down the members of the Hermitage all year round. The predecessor of the Black Magic Hermitage was just the remnants of the demon clan in Roland Continent.
Hidden organization, but it has developed to the present, countless magicians who are interested in black magic, and some evil magicians who study evil arts are slowly being absorbed into this organization. They are the cancer of the magic world, and our law enforcement team is bound to eliminate them.
They are all cleared from the Roland continent."
Later, when we talked about the Black Magic Monastery, Antonio, a member of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Group, had a very clear plan.
I learned from Antonio that the Magic Guild is a mage organization in Roland Continent, and the Law Enforcement Corps is a sharp sword in the hands of the Magic Guild. The responsibilities of the organization are somewhat like the guard camp knights in various cities, but they will only deal with magic-related matters.
In the incident, the mages who can join the magic union law enforcement team are all the best in various magic academies.
Suldak expressed his worries to Antonio. He didn't know whether this sacrificial ceremony was considered black magic. He was worried that if he used it elsewhere in the future, he would be discovered by the law enforcement team of the magic union and be directly burned as a heretic.
Fighting, that's the worst.
In any case, the two of them had some friendship, and Suldak felt that Antonio was not the kind of person who would tear down the bridge after crossing the river.
Antonio lay on the haystack, changed to a more comfortable position, and said to Suldak:
"Don't worry about this for the time being. Life magic does not actually belong to the category of forbidden magic. It is just that this form of magic belongs to the fringe magic. It is not accepted by mainstream magic in the Green Empire, but you are an awakened magician.
The Knight of Perception possesses the most rare divine attributes. I hope that you can become a Paladin in the future by mastering the power of Holy Light, instead of becoming a Dark Knight by mastering these life magics."
Surdak was confused by what Antonio said. It turned out that the sacred breath he had mastered could also become the power of holy light. The paladin himself knew it to some extent, but the term dark knight had never been mentioned by anyone before.
However, Antonio did not talk much about these, and just said to Suldak:
"In fact, I don't think magic is good or bad, but it depends on whether you have a compassionate and compassionate heart or a vicious snake and scorpion heart. There are many such examples, even some in the temple.
Priests with sacred prayers may also become criminals with blood on their hands, and such people are often more terrifying, so I think good and evil depend on whether you can not forget your original intention."
"Our law enforcement team patrols the Black Magic Hermitage because when those evil mages study black magic, they sometimes cause mysterious disappearances of certain local people. Even if they sacrifice the lives of civilians for magic research, this is not recognized by the magic union.
Allowed."
"As a member of the law enforcement group, I don't deny that we all have some paranoia about magic. This time, my boss clearly ordered me not to interfere in the incident of the missing seven knights. I ran back secretly, so I can't let Count Josie die from magic.
, I don’t even want him to die from some kind of assassination, it’s better to die normally..."
"Knight Surdak, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for making this operation go so smoothly!"
The carriage pulling a load of hay stopped in front of the gate of the magic airport. There was an endless stream of carriages entering and exiting the airport. Suldak jumped directly from the tall haystack and casually untied it to the back of the carriage.
He held the reins of his ancient Bo Lai horse and walked slowly into the airport terminal with the flow of people.
After entering the airport terminal, Suldak turned around and waved to Antonio who was standing on the haystack, only to find that the magician Antonio was already sitting on the haystack and gradually moved away...
