Chapter 29 Probing

Lucien didn't expect that Stork had been in constant turmoil in the past two months, which would hinder his plan to go to the Kingdom of Holm again. However, since he came to this world, he has been encountering various difficulties in his life.

, relying on the spirit of never retreating and never giving up, we have made it to where we are today with difficulty. There is only one strait away from the Magic Council. Compared with the dangers we encountered before, this obstacle is really nothing.

So, Lucien asked calmly: "Is he really a traitor? What is his name?"

There are some things that I must ask clearly. I don't want to be regarded as a gunman by Sturk's liaison, nor do I want to end up as an outcast.

"The Ferryman" said in a solemn tone: "His name is Harrison Brown, a formal knight. The report of him receiving the medal was published in the "Stulk Daily" two weeks ago. The reason is: 'Defended in the dark.

The glory of the Lord purified nearly fifty lost lambs.' If you doubt what I said, you can go to the city library to find that issue of the newspaper. There is even a paragraph on it that he published in the city council when he was awarded the honor.

In his speech, he showed no remorse for the more than thirty magic apprentices who died because of him. You must know that most of these apprentices are only twelve or thirteen years old and have only received basic training in arcane theory and have not yet entered a meditative state."

"I will verify it." Lucien nodded, "But I still have a question."

"The Ferryman" looked at Lucien's slightly dull face: "What?"

"According to my travels and previous experiences, for such traitors, in order to ensure their safety and avoid retaliation, the church has always secretly rewarded them, or let them directly join the Night Watch team. Basically, I have never heard of honoring them openly.

Knight medal. Maybe, this is a trap?" Lucien will not joke with his own life.

"The Ferryman" is not surprised that Lucien can see this. Although magicians like them who grew up under the oppression and pursuit of the church may have great shortcomings in arcane theory, they are absolutely acumen and adaptable.

Better than those educated in the safe environment of the Parliament: "Yes, we also think this may be a trap by the Night Watch. But we must kill him to deter those guys inside who are ready to take action."

"Originally, we would have tried to assassinate you without you. Now I am giving this to you so that you can pass the test and go to Alinge as soon as possible. If you refuse, it doesn't matter. Leave a contact information for me, and there will be more in the future.

I will inform you when there is something that can prove your identity." He paused and said, "If you accept, you can make a request if necessary, and we will help you distract the attention of the night watchman. But how can we distract you?

I will tell you, after all, you haven’t proven your identity yet.”

"As long as you succeed, we will welcome new companions with the greatest enthusiasm."

He added silently in his heart, if you fail, you won't be able to implicate us.

"What is the power of Harrison Brown's blood? Are there any extraordinary weapons or items? What are the patterns of activity? I think you should have collected this information." Lucien asked with a smile. As an official magician, even if

There is a high degree of confidence in killing knights of the same level in face-to-face combat, let alone secret attacks. The main problem lies in other aspects, "Through this information, can I determine whether I am confident in killing Harrison under the protection of the Night Watch?"

Brown and get off the trail.”

"The Ferryman" was very satisfied with the conversation with such a smart magician, and said bluntly: "Brown's bloodline power is 'regeneration', a good bloodline from trolls, with great strength and speed, as long as it does not get beheaded."

The whole body will regenerate indefinitely before the body's energy is consumed. Of course, since it is a troll bloodline, acid and fire can destroy his regeneration and make him truly dead."

"Originally, he had a withering short spear, a first-level extraordinary weapon given by the council, with additional poison damage. Later, the church rewarded him with a second-level extraordinary item - the Demon Hunter Shield. In addition to being equivalent to a second-level knight,

In addition to its defensive power, it can also absorb a certain degree of elemental damage. As for whether there are other extraordinary items, we don’t know."

"The pattern of his activities is..."

"The Ferryman" told Lucien the information collected about Brown one by one. Lucien listened quietly and analyzed possible opportunities.

Except for the clergy, nobles and prestigious upper class members of the city of Sturk, Brown does not accept visits from other people; rarely goes out; likes oil painting and wax art; it is said that he will go to the holy city of Reims in five months

Settling... Pieces of information echoed in Lucien's mind. It wasn't until "The Ferryman" finished that Lucien asked with confirmation: "The morning after tomorrow, Brown will attend the opening ceremony of the Sauger Wax Museum?

"

"Yes, Sauger, the wax figure artist, promised Brown to make a lifelike wax figure for him before he went to Reims and place it in the wax museum in recognition of his contribution to the fight against darkness. So he will definitely go

Participate in this opening ceremony. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the night watchman arranged for him to come out frequently for some activities." After the ferryman answered, he repeated, "At that time, if we need to divert the night watchman away, please inform us in advance."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Lucien accepted the matter with a dull expression.

After agreeing on a contact point and mark with the ferryman, Lucien took a small boat and traveled into the darkness, using magic and knighthood to escape tracking.

…………

In the middle of the night the next day, Lucien, wearing a black hooded robe, appeared beside a stone arch bridge. It was one of the two bridges leading to the island where the "Sorg Wax Museum" was located, and it was from the villa where Brown lived.

Small island, it is the best choice. Taking another bridge will make a big circle.

In addition, according to Lucien's knowledge, since Sog, the wax figure artist, is very popular in Sturk, many nobles and big businessmen will come to attend the ceremony tomorrow, and their private boats will definitely crowd the wax museum.

There is water that can be docked nearby, so even if Soger came through the canal by boat, he would disembark on the water here and then go to the wax museum through the stone arch bridge.

It was late at night, the sky was full of stars, the water reflected the waves, and everything was quiet.

Lucien stood by the bridge, pressed his hands on the bridge, opened his mouth and let out a silent scream.

Wave after wave of ripples were transmitted from Lucien's hand to the stone arch bridge, and then fed back, and then adjusted and fed back again. Gradually, the stone bridge began to shake obviously, and it became more and more violent, and the swing became larger and larger.

.

"The Resonating Hand of the Professor"!

Seeing that the amplitude of the stone bridge was about to reach its limit and collapse at any time, Lucien suddenly stopped and watched as it gradually calmed down, unchanged from before.

But in fact, the internal structure of this stone bridge has been damaged a lot. Although there is no possibility of collapse, it is enough to produce the small changes that Lucien hoped for when the load-bearing reaches a certain level.

…………

The black pointed boat with heraldry engraved on it was parked next to the street. Harrison Brown came down with his entourage. He looked at the magnificent pointed boats docked opposite and couldn't help but look forward to it. What?

When can I have the same status as them?

After watching quietly for a few minutes, Brown, surrounded by his entourage, walked towards the stone arch bridge a hundred meters away. There were people coming and going there, and there was nothing unusual.

As he walked, Brown looked around. Although he knew that there were several powerful night watchmen nearby to protect and monitor him, he also understood that his betrayal had angered the Magic Council and he had to be cautious.

"But I have to abide by the church's requirements. I have to go out for a walk occasionally. I hope these few months will be safe, and when I get to Reims, I can completely relax and enjoy life."

With such caution, Brown and his followers stepped onto the stone arch bridge.

At this time, on a pointed boat docked not far from the bridge, Lucien in black formal clothes nodded to a carriage on the shore: "Remember to send this cart of steel to Utaka Trading Company. This is yours

remuneration."

The young man driving the carriage showed an honest smile: "Please don't worry, sir."

The carriage began to move slowly, and Lucien also signaled the boatman to row the pointed boat, as if preparing to pass under the stone arch bridge.

The carriage carrying heavy steel drove onto the stone arch bridge not far away, and Brown had just reached the center of the bridge.

Harrison Brown walked slowly and kept looking left and right, but the pedestrians coming and going were all so ordinary. Occasionally, there were those who looked strong and not weak, and they were also the entourage of the nobles.

"They wouldn't jump in even though they knew it was a trap, right? Especially after just two weeks, it's the most vigilant and alert time. Well, maybe the people from the Magic Council will show up when I go to the Holy City of Reims.

It's very possible to do it on the way!" Brown was relatively relieved about the current situation, but worried about the journey in five months.

Just when Brown's thoughts were a little racing, he suddenly felt a wave-like vibration under his feet, as if the stone arch bridge was about to collapse.

"Someone is attacking!" This was Brown's subconscious reaction, so the milky white light on his body suddenly lit up, and he was covered with snow-white feathers.

The three-pole magic "Angel Feather"!

At the same time, he pulled out a short green-tipped spear with his right hand, and took the shield from his attendant with his left hand and held it in front of him.

He did all this so quickly, which fully reflected his rich combat experience.

But the wave-like vibration gradually subsided, and the stone bridge quickly returned to calm.

"Is the stone bridge in disrepair?" Harrison Brown thought in shock. He looked around and saw several pointed boats passing by. On the bow of one of them stood a handsome young man with his hands behind his back.

, he was wearing a black formal suit and looked at his "inexplicable" behavior on the bridge with a smile.

Then this pointed boat passed under the stone arch bridge.

…………

"When the stone bridge shook just now, nearly ten people reacted completely differently from ordinary people. Excluding a few noble knights, there were about five night watchmen. They were the adventurers walking on Brown's right, and the gorgeously dressed people who were walking down the bridge quickly.

The merchant, the couple following Brown, and the boatman in the pointed boat behind me."

"In addition to the Withering Spear, the Demon Hunter Shield, Brown also has a three-pole magical item..."

Lucien looked at the water ahead and followed the pointed boat as it disappeared at the intersection of the canal.

From the very beginning, Lucien had no intention of actually destroying the stone bridge, because it was too dangerous to take action directly before even the Night Watchmen had been roughly determined, and a raid that caused chaos by destroying the stone bridge might not necessarily have a good effect.

This is just a trial. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
