The day after the examination was suspended, the Lich left the alchemy and went straight to the Davao mine that had been declared blocked.
After receiving the report from the subordinates who arranged to spy on Victor, Buffy did follow the Lich to leave mivila town as victor expected.
The thick iron chain and big lock could not block anything. Only the staff performed a simple percussion, and Victor opened the closed iron door.
"What does this guy want?"
Buffy hid in the shelter and watched Victor walk into the mine alone.
Is... The death of a god official directly related to him?
Bafei knew that paan showed abnormal boredom towards victor. He didn't think about it. The priest died after fighting with the young man.
Suffering from no evidence and the existence of giant spider monsters, Buffy can only temporarily fail to directly connect paan's death with victor. After thinking about it, the general president of Victor's shadow guild had to follow it into the mine.
After two days, the peculiar smell of arachnid toxin still didn't dissipate, and the corpse that didn't have time to clean up added another strange smell of sour rot.
Buffy took out a special mask to cover his mouth and nose. It was this short moment of distraction. When he looked up again, Victor could not be seen in the dark tunnel.
With a sneer, he returned to the gate.
To prevent people from entering again. Buffy ordered Eric to lead people to block other secret passages into the mine two days ago. Just stay at the only exit. Don't worry about waiting for no one.
He doesn't believe it. Victor won't go out in the tunnel.
What Buffy didn't expect was. It was his crouching position that the Lich wanted. The longer it takes. The more favorable it is for the frost wolf to get rid of the troublesome jaradi family.
Cohen, who stayed at home, was a little uneasy.
The weather is a little stuffy today. There seems to be a sign of rain.
The servants shuttle back and forth to make careful preparations for the new examiners who are about to arrive. It is said that this time, the high-level officials of the holy see are coming, and their positions are several orders higher than those of the dead gods.
In order to curry favor with the big man representing Saint Vincent, gander, as the head of the family, personally urged him. He was afraid of poor preparation and neglected the new examiner as good as bafi.
Bored Cohen lay by the window of his bedroom, looked at the lively scene below, and sighed for flattering Fisher.
Dada dada
The door handle turned at a very slow speed, and the noisy courtyard covered the already small sound until the door opened a gap enough to enter. Cohen didn't notice any abnormality.
The special sound of metal echoed in the closed room. Cohen subconsciously turned back and saw the silver white passing by.
"Eh?" there was a pain like a needle in his neck. He reached out and touched it and dyed his hand red.
Feeling his body gradually falling back, Cohen opened his eyes. He saw a very familiar body. Blood gushed from the place where there was no head and dyed the blue gray curtain red.
Death came so fast that Cohen could even hear the muffled sound of his head falling heavily to the ground.
Take the knife back to the scabbard, hit the doomed dark elf, pull off the heavy curtain splashed with blood, and cover the headless corpse that fell to the ground at this time.
The young master is dead, and the rest... Is only the master.
Standing by the window overlooking gander jaradi standing in the courtyard. Baylor looked into his eyes as if he were looking at a dead body without any emotion.
When he revisited his hometown, Victor walked along the body of the sword spider that had not been cleaned up.
After discovering Fisher's identity, he gave up the idea of going to Jingyao. Big cities have a higher risk of exposing their identity. If they can inherit the position of the chief alchemist, it would be better to live in a small town like mivila.
These two days, it has been considering how to get good results without being too publicity. After decades of isolation, Victor didn't realize that his desire free attitude attracted more attention than ambitious people.
There is another important reason for choosing to come to Davao mine, in addition to leading bafi out of the town. Victor believed that the crystal mine not far from the town of mivila had not dried up as recorded in the chronicles, but had to be closed because of the spider monster.
As long as the big spider monster is cleaned up, the crystal mine can be mined again. As long as we can get the ownership, let alone solve the shortage of funds for magic research, it is not an illusion to upgrade the mivila array to a city with a population of 100000.
Just thinking, there was a flash of light in the front passage. Victor, alert to his invisibility, quietly touched forward.
The scarlet giant spider monster has four legs left. Its howl is more harsh than that heard last time. The miserable green liquid is sprayed on the nearby stalactite, emitting a stench similar to that of a corpse.
It was a human male who forced this huge monster to such a point. Maybe we should call him a youth. He is a head higher than victor, and his strong back can be seen as a warrior at a glance.
It seemed that he was aware of Victor's arrival. He turned his head and scattered several strands of golden hair under his helmet. The color was pure enough to explain his aristocratic status.
"I'm a new examiner sent by the Guild Headquarters." facing the dark and dark passage, my face is younger than wood, who is possessed by the Lich. It's also more handsome, like the most beautiful moonlight elf in the legend.
Can he see me?
Human beings cannot have dark vision... Then it should be the ability to see through invisibility.
The Lich was secretly on guard and did not dare to be careless with the young man who claimed to be the examiner. His intuition told him that the Holy See sent him this time was not at the same level as the priest paan.
"It is worthy of being a mountain town, and it doesn't have the proper etiquette." the examiner turned his body completely sideways and turned his back to the spider monster, which seemed to prove that his strength was strong enough.
Remove the invisibility and Victor stands at the entrance. That's the best strategic position to defend and attack.
"Sure enough, it's his father's seed, and his eyebrows are very similar." suddenly, the young man blurted out his words, which made Victor slightly stunned. He hurriedly raised his staff. He was trying to use the wind blade known for speed to disturb each other's feet. A fast and fast golden light passed through his body at a lightning speed and disappeared into the rock behind him.
After a pause, Victor looked down. Whether the flesh and blood is blurred or the skin is turned over, it is not enough to describe the place just touched by strange light.
"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself."
Put his hand on his chest, and the young man made a standard aristocratic salute to the fallen body.
"I'm Lucian Mendel notting, your half brother.
Buffy guarded the iron gate of the mine. Although he was sure that Victor had to go through here to leave, he was always a little worried.
It was not that he was afraid of Victor leaving the secret passage, but that he had an unspeakable feeling for the young man who was wrapped in a fog regardless of his appearance or life experience.
It's not clear that goose bumps can't stop as long as they touch the crisp green pupils. Buffy had never had such an experience when he lived to 40.
Maybe, that boy is really a genius, not necessarily
Just thinking, footsteps came from the mine.
incorrect!
The sound is wrong.
Not Victor wood.
The mage's steps were slow and steady, and each step seemed to be taken after thinking.
The footsteps coming out of the passage made Buffy frown slightly.
Soon the door opened and pushed from the inside out.
The young mage who appeared in buffy's sight was not the right young mage. The man was wearing a gorgeous chain armour. The exquisite and practical hollow patterns not only produced a magnificent golden light, but also made the armor have special magic protection. Under the fine chain armour, there was a standard Knight's shirt. The holy white and majestic gold reflected each other. But it really had the finishing touch The effect is the weapon worn around the waist. The decoration of the hilt is a blooming sun chrysanthemum, which looks like a real flower in both color and shape, and even can smell a faint fragrance.
"Good day."
Taking off his helmet covering his face, the young man who sounded very young greeted Buffy who was hidden in the dark.
"How could it be you..." realizing his impoliteness, Buffy coughed and quickly changed his mouth: "I didn't expect the Holy See to send you, your excellency Lucian."
"His Majesty the Pope was very sad about the death of the priest paan. When he was shocked and angry, he thought there was something hidden in it, so he sent me to investigate." Lucian, with bright blond hair, smiled, and his appearance and temperament were full of inviolable nobility.
"So... Is there any progress?" Buffy looked at the still dark tunnel, but there was still no trace of victor.
"Just killed a necromancer."
Buffy was slightly surprised by the understated answer.
"It seems to be the candidate this time. He is a man of the same age as me, with black hair and green eyes."
"Your Excellency..." Buffy wanted to ask in detail, but Lucian didn't give him a chance at all.
"It's said that my cousin also took the exam. Take me to see him quickly. Before coming, my uncle told me to take care of him."
Thinking of another heavyweight who stayed in the town, Buffy had to give up the idea of exploring the mine. Compared with the future heirs of the notting Empire, Victor wood, who did not know which nobleman was the illegitimate son, was less important.
Bafei, who was leading the way in front, looked back at the iron door closed by Lucian and couldn't help asking.
"Are you sure that mage is dead?"
"Why, you doubt my strength."
"How can I doubt your strength... But he is the most capable candidate in this session. As a invigilator, I must confirm it."
"Without this sword, the undead, especially the degenerates who have just transformed into undead creatures like him, will be purified together with their body and soul." Lucien gently stroked the sword on his waist, and the Mara light, which ranked second among the three holy objects of the Holy See, absolutely exceeded the first holy eye in terms of attack power alone.
