The pupils in Edward's eyes disappeared completely, and his eyes shone with a very bright starry sky. A dim light point floated quietly behind Roland, completely blocked by the early morning sunlight.
This is the Eye of the Starry Sky, the witchcraft most commonly used by astral wizards when monitoring and eavesdropping. As an adult enemy of Kabbalah, after he took over Tanas' body, all of Tanas' abilities naturally
controlled by him.
Although the Eye of the Starry Sky has poor maneuverability and requires continuous casting, which is not very easy to use, the advantage is that it is concealed enough, and its traces can be hidden as long as there is a little natural light.
If the caster can reach the Silver level or above, the brightness level of the Starlight Eye will drop to low light. This means that all races without low light vision will not be able to see it with the naked eye in the presence of light. They can only move the room
Only when all the light sources inside are extinguished can the faint light spot be seen.
This light spot can inherit all of Edward's perception attributes, and can sense objects and sounds within a certain distance around it, and transmit all of them back to the caster. The only drawback is that it cannot see colors.
In Edward's ears, Roland's deliberately lowered voice sounded very clearly: "The Marquis of Saya hopes that I can come here to find a capable manager to explain the situation to him, and then cooperate with the Druids to arrest him."
"...Have even Druid been dispatched?"
"You'd better go out with me first and stay away from here. I'm worried that this place may be cursed by cultists and have cast some eavesdropping or surveillance magic."
"Whatever, you decide. I'm just casual...but I think if there really was someone, he should have left when he heard what you said."
"Probably. But that's good, at least less people will die, right?"
Roland's clear voice rang in Edward's ears: "In any case, the people of Richero are innocent. If the cultists are really scared away because of my words, at least the civilians in this city will not be killed due to the battle.
die."
Edward naturally didn't believe what he said.
In his opinion, the reason why Roland wanted Arsu to leave was just because of what he said to Roland before.
But for some reason, when Edward heard these words, he suddenly remembered what Roland said before his execution, and couldn't help but respect Roland in awe.
Although Roland is ruthless and shows no mercy to his subordinates, in Edward's eyes, he is a true saint - although he is still a little naive, at least he is better than those who are just similar to gods.
The canonized priest is much nobler.
At least he knew what he wanted to do, what he could sacrifice, and what he needed to destroy. Although he still had room for some things. But in Edward's opinion, that was just because Roland was too young and hadn't considered things thoroughly. But
Because of this, Edward wanted to destroy him.
But...Marquis Saya?
Hearing the unexpected name, Edward frowned slightly.
If possible, this person Edward would not want to have contact with.
Not only is he a member of the Sword Guard family, but his identity is quite mysterious. According to Edward's investigation, he also seems to have some relationship with the military in Kalar. In case of provoking military scouts, Edward will be in Kalar
There really is no place to stay.
Caral is the only country that does not allow priests to enter the country. This is the most suitable place for the Dusk Folk to preach. Edward does not want to arouse Caral's vigilance towards the Dusk Folk, otherwise his compatriots will be very distressed.
.
In addition, Arsu, who is a demon hunter, and Roland, the priest of the Sleeping Mentor...
...No, I have to go.
Edward quickly made up his mind.
Although he did need some money and needed to cause some trouble for Roland, the priority of these two things was not as important as protecting his own life.
It's better to wait until Roland leaves and then come back to find a way to take some of the money away.
Anyway, there are so many gold and silver coins that it would be difficult to transport them elsewhere without a convoy. And to say the least, even if Roland is sure that the secret will not be leaked during transportation, there is no place more suitable for burying treasures than Caral.
.
After all, this world has the two magical arts of detecting metal and finding wealth. Nowhere is safe except Kalal, which prohibits priests.
Feeling that Arsu was preparing Roland to leave, Edward's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he silently withdrew from the maintenance state of the Astral Eye.
Without any pause, Edward immediately used his previous arrangement. After confirming that someone outside had received his message, he immediately destroyed the rune stones used for practice, and immediately started preparations after activating the effect of a certain accessory on his body.
Next witchcraft.
Of course, it was definitely not the starry sky gate he and Roland had talked about before. If Edward wanted to run away, there was no need for such a low-end and unstable thing. Moreover, Arsu's interference with witchcraft was not what Edward told Roland.
So serious. One of the two people is on the third floor and the other is in the basement. In such a big house, the distance between them is actually not small. Roland may not be able to distance him much by taking him out.
In fact, what Edward wanted to use was a large-scale illusion, and the barrier covered the entire Earl's Mansion. When he finished casting the spell, Roland and Arsu had just walked to the door of the Earl's Mansion.
Suddenly a sudden change occurred——
Because the door of the Earl's Mansion suddenly opened, passers-by subconsciously cast their eyes over. After discovering that they were two strangers - and one of them was wearing a hood, they glanced slightly concerned and looked away.
Whatever guests the Earl has, it has nothing to do with them.
"Help, help! Help ah ah ah!"
But just when the existence of these two people had not completely dissipated in his mind, a shrill cry of extreme fear suddenly came from the Earl's Mansion, which opened the door, and then stopped abruptly.
For a moment, everyone subconsciously turned their gazes over, their original movements stopped, and time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
Roland and Arsu were stunned for a moment. By the time they realized what had happened, it was already too late——
The next moment, there was a crunching sound of broken bones, and the sound of something chewing on the internal organs could be heard very clearly from inside the opened door. The expressions of the passers-by around him suddenly changed. They screamed and cried.
He ran away from the count.
"Something happened! Let's go!"
Roland slammed the door without hesitation, took Arsu's hand and ran out.
But after running a few steps, they were stopped by layers of armed guards outside.
"What's going on? Who are you?"
They shouted loudly and showed their swords at their waists with alert expressions.
They wore hard leather armor with armor plates and brown leather gloves. This was very typical of the equipment of Karar's ordinary combat troops, except that all the badges on their bodies that showed their serial numbers were taken off.
Roland keenly discovered that their movements were exactly the starting point of Karal's military swordsmanship.
...regular army? Why are they here?
Aren't Karar's regular troops not allowed to enter the city outside of war? What is that guy from Marnos doing?
Roland's face suddenly became very ugly.
There is no doubt that the only person with the authority to introduce regular troops into the city is General Marnos, the Marquis of Saya.
However, looking at the menacing appearance, it was difficult for Roland to connect them with reinforcements.
Who is behind this?
Is it the Marquis of Saya or Edward? (To be continued.)
ps: Plot branch:
a: Let’s trust the Marquis of Saya... and escape to the Marquis’ Mansion.
b: There must be something wrong with that Marnos guy...and escape outside the city. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
