At least half an hour after the black shadow left, an afterimage passed over from the other end of the corridor. The faint black light it carried was like waves of water, and the calmness and depth contained a taste of violence and destruction.
The afterimage stopped in front of the barbed wire fence, looking around with a solemn expression.
This is a man in his thirties wearing a black shirt, black dress, black trousers, black leather shoes, and a black bow tie. His beard is neatly trimmed, and his black hair is all combed back, making it smooth and shiny——
This is a new trend that the upper-class nobles of Alto have just learned from other kingdoms.
At first glance, this man is someone who pays great attention to grooming and status.
It's a pity that he is not a noble.
He is Longsang Aaron,
In the Aaron gang, as long as they often come into contact with Longsang? Aaron's leaders all know that under the elegant surface of Aaron's boss' efforts to pursue the aristocratic style, there is actually a group of unexplained anger burning in his heart, exuding endless energy.
The endless viciousness, resentment and anger are deeply fearful.
Longsang Aaron is actually a knight who inspired the power of blood. He is even about to break through some of the limitations of the mortal body and become a strong knight. But the tragedy is that the blood power he inspired is of dark nature, so not only
Unable to become a true noble, receive a manor, enjoy a noble and beautiful life, and leave the title of Lord to future generations. Moreover, he has to avoid the church, like a mouse that shuttles through the sewers and dare not run in the sun.

Since the ancient magic empire ruled the sky, the earth, and the ocean, and conquered many alien spaces, professions such as knights and priests who wielded extraordinary powers at that time could not help but refer to magicians in their division of strength.
The three-ring spell "Flying", the six-ring spell "Spell Trigger", and many extremely powerful nine-ring magics have caused an essential leap in the magician's strength. In addition, at exactly these three levels, the magician's soul and mental power
All will mutate, which will increase the lifespan to a certain extent. Therefore, in the ancient magic empire, the first- and second-level magicians were called elementary magicians, the second to fifth-level magicians were called intermediate magicians, and the sixth- to eighth-level magicians were called intermediate magicians.
It is called a high-level magician, and the nine rings are called archmage.
Referring to this division, the knights linked the four levels that greatly improved their bloodline power with the four magician levels of three, six, nine, and legendary, and then compared and divided the levels with less terrifying strength enhancement, thus stimulating the bloodline
Power, after becoming a knight, the first and second levels are often called knights, the third to fifth levels are great knights, the sixth to eighth levels are heavenly knights, the ninth level are golden knights, and those above are epic knights.
The same is true for the division of priest levels. However, after becoming mid-level priests, most of them become bishops, so levels three to five are also called bishop levels. High-level priests often serve as cardinals. As for ninth-level priests, they often serve as cardinals.
A senior priest has no special title. If he can enter the College of Cardinals, he will serve as a cardinal together with those "Holy Spirit Priests". If he cannot, he will still be a cardinal.
In the entire Principality of Violet, not counting the hidden and secretly strong men, there are more than 400 knights, only more than 50 high knights, and less than ten celestial knights.
Most of these knights are members of the Violet Knights, and they are stationed at various key places.
As a second-level knight, as a strong man who is about to break through to the rank of a great knight, how could Longsang Aaron not be angry or resentful of his situation, so he willingly became the black glove of a certain big shot?
, specifically dealing with some shady matters for him.
"There is a faint smell of sulfur, blood, and other smells." Aaron's nose moved slightly, smelling the residual smell, and he was able to distinguish the most obvious smell of sulfur from the dirty and stench mixed with countless smells in the sewer.
, the taste of blood.
After stimulating the power of the bloodline, not only do you gain "divine grace", but the abilities of each part of the body are greatly improved without conflicting with the power of the bloodline.
Unfortunately, Aaron went to the sewer to investigate after seeing that Jackson and others had not returned for a long time, and smelled a dangerous smell that was not right. It was already too late, whether it was corpses, ice slag caused by frost rays, or most of the
The smell was destroyed by underground rivers, garbage smells, etc., and only some less important clues could be found, such as the smell of sulfur, the smell of blood, and the traces of blood and brain matter that had been deliberately cleaned by someone at a glance.
, a little charred trace of corrosion.
Aaron frowned: "Brain, is it a water ghost? Huh, will a water ghost know how to deal with traces? Acid, sulfur, it seems to be some reckless magic apprentice. Unfortunately, I arrived too late, he has already left
It has been a long time, and a lot of the smell may have dissipated long ago. As long as he is careful, I will not be able to find his traces, and he may have tried to warn the church or some nobles."
If they were official magicians, Aaron believed that Jackson and others plus the ordinary believers of the "Silver Horn" would not have the strength to leave any traces on the other side.
Considering that more than half an hour is enough for the other party to do a lot of things, and that the other party is a magic apprentice and will not care about what the "Silver Horn" Church does, Aaron's idea becomes simple:
"Although you can find the priest of the Silver Horn to cast a spell to track him, but after all, it has been too long, and the chance of success is not high. And the most important thing is that if he has warned the church, in the next period of time, it will be
Will be the key to our escape, should we waste it on tracking him?"
The choice of this kind of thing is naturally not difficult, Longsang Aaron will not risk his own life, and it is a risk that is not worth it.
He turned around, kicked off his black leather shoes, and rushed towards a place in the sewer like a black afterimage.

Lucien lay on the bed, pretending to be asleep, on high alert, listening for any unknown noises in the quiet night outside. It wasn't until two or three hours later that he felt that the cult and gangs would not come after him, and then he fell asleep in a daze.
a while.
Before falling asleep, Lucien had been trying hard to analyze the magic ring, so that even if the enemy found him, he would have some strength to resist.
The structure inside the magic ring is a three-dimensional model, but there are no complex surfaces, curves, etc., and the structural principles contained in it are also within Lucien's understanding, so Lucien reviewed high school mathematics, physics, etc. during this period.
The results appeared. It only took an hour, combined with calculations in the soul library, to preliminarily analyze it, and try to imprint the spiritual power mark on the core of its magic circle.
The trauma to his soul made Lucien feel like he had a splitting headache as soon as he spread out the recovered mental power, and it was difficult to concentrate. He almost failed to engrave successfully. Fortunately, leaving an imprint of mental power was much easier than casting magic, so he reluctantly completed it.
However, Lucien judged for himself: "I'm afraid it will become very difficult to cast magic within two days, and it will be really troublesome to have your soul hurt."
After leaving the mark of mental power, the information left by the maker of the seal in the magic ring was obtained by Lucien:
"The 'Ice Avenger' ring is a magic apprentice who was betrayed by his friends. He used all the wealth he obtained to ask a powerful alchemist to refine the object of revenge. The cold touch can make people feel like most formal knights all the time.
Stay sober and cold, and use the second-ring magic 'Palmera's Ice Blade' once a day, so that the betrayers can feel the pain of blood flowing and enjoy the cold embrace of ice and snow."
The alchemist did not leave his name, but only provided the reason for the forging and the ability of the "Ice Avenger" ring.
"Its magic effect should be to raise the will to the level of a first-level knight, and the second-level magic 'Palmeira's Ice Blade' once a day. According to the classification of magic items, it should belong to the second-level intermediate level.
The water ghost will mutate, and it seems that it is mainly due to the first magical effect." Lucien put the "Ice Avenger" ring in his pocket, ensuring that he could touch it at any time.
This is because of Lucien's status, he cannot afford to wear such valuable items, which will arouse suspicion. Moreover, Lucien is still in a state where his soul is wounded and his mental power is difficult to spread. He can only rely on rubbing to stimulate it.
, and the magical effect of enhancing will can only work if it comes into direct contact with the skin.
…………
In the early morning, Lucien forced himself to wake up with a headache. His head was still dizzy, and his forehead was hot, as if he had a fever.
"A wounded soul can also cause physical weakness and colds." Lucien sighed, steeled himself, changed into another linen jacket, and headed out of the city without even eating breakfast.
The sun was near the horizon and the sky was still relatively dark. The cool and fresh air made Lucien feel refreshed and he got out of his uncomfortable state a little. After walking for about forty minutes, he finally saw Sir Wayne's manor.
Sir Wayne was born in the Violet Knights and was a second-level knight. He left the Knights due to old age and no longer stationed at the fortress near the Dark Mountains. However, when Archduke Violet was still the Count of Violet and the leader of the Violet Knights, Wayne
The knight developed a friendship with him, so he was often recruited into the court and served as an advisor to the Grand Duke on the military situation near the Dark Mountains.
The manor is surrounded by a high wall and is equipped with arrow towers and other facilities, which shows Sir Wayne's iron-blooded style.
Many farmers are working in the wheat fields outside. The gate has been opened. Two young men wearing gray knight uniforms are leading seven or eight soldiers to guard. One of them has dark blond hair and eye color, and the other has brown hair and blue eyes, which is most common in Alto.
.
"Who are you? What are you doing in Sir Wayne's manor?!" The young man with dark blond hair asked sternly when he saw Lucien walking over.
