Chapter 22 - Shocking murder

The man in black floated in from the window. His whole body was wrapped in a black hooded robe. The hood completely covered his face. He wore black leather gloves on his hands and held a black-covered book in his left hand. , with several weird red characters written on the cover.

 

He stood at the window and looked around the room, his eyes resting on the desk not far away. The black moccasins under his feet silently walked on the red carpet, approaching the desk filled with books and letters.

 

He stopped in front of the table, reached out and picked up a few letters from the table and looked down at them. Suddenly, there was a soft sound behind the desk. The man in black robe immediately dropped the letter in his hand, took a step back, and stared at the back of the desk with vigilant eyes.

 

But the sound stopped immediately. The man in black robe looked back at the closed door of the study room and carefully walked around the desk. When he walked around from the side to the back of the desk, he skillfully opened the black book in his hand with his left hand and opened it with his right hand. Pointing toward the back of the desk, a dark red light appeared on his fingertips.

 

However, there was nothing behind the desk. The man in black robe stared for a moment, put away the magic book and retracted his right hand.

 

At this moment, there were chaotic footsteps on the stairs outside the door. The man in black robe glanced at the door of the study, and the whole person disappeared without a trace in a burst of black mist.

 

The door of the study room was pushed open. A magician stood at the door of the room, making a respectful gesture of invitation. Constantine, the Grand Master of the Mage Tower, "Eye of the Sky" walked in from the door. The magician who opened the door and Another magician followed Constantine into the study and gently closed the door of the study.

 

"What happened?" Constantine walked slowly towards the desk and asked the two magicians softly: "You just said that something big happened in the imperial capital. What happened?"

 

Halfway through the words, the Grand Master suddenly looked back at the open window, frowning slightly on his wrinkled face, and said, "Why is the window open? It was clearly closed when I left."

 

"Let me close it for you!" A magician walked past the Grand Master and stepped forward to close the window.

 

Another magician said to the Grand Master at the same time: "Master, something big has indeed happened. The chief dark wizard of the Shadow Fortress, William the Bloody Hand, has escaped from the Imperial Capital Prison!"

 

"What?" Constantine was shocked when he heard this. He stretched out his old hand and pressed the magician's shoulder and asked: "Is what you said true? Is the news reliable?"

 

"Yes, it was news from the White Wizard Guild in the Imperial Capital! Just two days ago!" the magician answered without hesitation.

 

"Oops!" Constantine frowned and frowned, feeling extremely uneasy about this sudden bad news.

 

This dark wizard king of the dark hills has been imprisoned in the Condor Prison in the imperial capital Bahrain for a hundred years. Constantine, who arrested him personally, even completely forgot about him. He never expected that "bloody hands" William would actually escape from the Condor Prison at this time, which is said to be inescapable.

 

"I have to tell Captain Antonio the news immediately! They left the imperial capital relatively early, so I'm afraid they don't know about this yet!"

 

Constantine turned and walked towards the door of the study. The magician in front of him hurriedly stretched out his hand to support his arm. The moment the two bodies came into contact, a sharp knife suddenly penetrated Constantine's abdomen.

 

"You..." The Grand Master looked at the magician in front of him with his eyes wide open in surprise. Before he finished speaking, the magician who closed the window behind him followed closely and stabbed Constantine in the back with another knife.

 

"Lord William, let us tell you that your era is over and the era of twilight is about to begin!" the magician in front of Constantine said with a sinister smile.

 

"Despicable!" The Grand Master glared at him angrily, and suddenly opened his arms and shouted. An invisible wave of air spread around him. The two magicians were caught off guard. They flew out with their swords and hit the wall of the study hard. on, then collapsed to the ground.

 

"Damn it!" Constantine covered his wound, endured the severe pain and walked towards the door of the study with trembling steps. Suddenly, a black mist formed at the door in front of him, and a man in black robes holding a black book appeared in his hand. In his sight.

 

"Long time no see, 'Eye of the Sky' Constantine!" The man in black robe laughed in a hoarse and cold voice.

 

"William..." Constantine looked at the man in black robe in front of him in surprise. The other man nodded gently and said, "Unexpectedly, I thought we would never meet again, but fate pulled us away again. Together, it's like many years ago."

 

William "Blood Hand" walked towards the Grand Master with slow steps. Constantine subconsciously took a step back and heard him say: "It seems that your life is not as good as I imagined. A hundred years have passed. I Not much has changed, and you are getting old."

 

"You are plotting to steal the sacred weapon that seals the ghost king's soul, right?" Constantine asked in a deep voice while thinking about countermeasures.

 

"I do have something to do with that matter, but I'm just helping people. My master hired me to clear all the obstacles that might hinder him." William said calmly and raised his hand His right hand pointed to Constantine: "For example, you..."

 

"What kind of person can turn the lord of the Dark Hills and the king of the Shadow Fortress into his own killer and minions?" Constantine asked in surprise.

 

William's words made him even more surprised. Based on his understanding of William, no matter how much money he paid, he would not be able to make him obey others' orders.

 

"Then it has nothing to do with you. I will not be stupid enough to leak the name of my employer!" William smiled and shook his head gently, "Let us settle this grudge that has lasted for a hundred years. Anyway, for you, What happens next is irrelevant!"

 

Before he finished speaking, William pointed at Constantine's right fingertip with a flash of red light, and a blood-red five-pointed star array appeared at Constantine's feet. The five sharp corners of the array showed five round black holes. Kang The blood overflowing from Standing's wound was immediately trapped in a black hole.

 

"Come on, should you wait quietly for the blood to be sucked dry, or fight me head-on?" William asked with a sinister tone, tilting his head and looking at Constantine.

 

Constantine, who was caught in William's unique skill "Blood Spell Formation", silently lowered his head and closed his eyes.

 

The blood overflowing from the wound was still being sucked away, making the corners of his mouth turn pale, the skin all over his body lost its color, the muscles gradually withered, and the already old face looked even older, and finally he made a "plop" Kneel down on the ground.

 

"It seems that you have made your choice." William sneered triumphantly, abandoned the withered body, turned around and walked towards the door of the study without looking back.

 

The moment he reached out to open the door, Constantine behind him suddenly raised his head and opened a pair of dazzling eyes.

 

With a deafening roar, two arms-thick rays of light shot out from the old man's eyes, passing through William's body and shattering the door of the room. The walls in the corridor collapsed under the rays of light.

 

When the light dissipated, Constantine's body collapsed heavily to the ground. He looked at William lying on the ground with his last eyes. Suddenly, a pair of black soft leather boots appeared in front of him, and a pair of black soft leather boots appeared in front of him. The gloved hand lifted his head, and the man in black robes came into view again.

 

"I'm sorry, your 'eye of the sky' may be able to destroy everything, but it can't see through the truth and lies. That's how things are in this world. A false phantom is enough to deceive everyone's eyes!"

 

After saying these words, William "Bloody Hand" left the dead Constantine behind, turned around and floated to the window of the study, opened the window and flew out, opening his arms and riding the wind to the vast snowfield under the night.

 

A moment later, a pair of cold blue eyes emerged from behind the floor-to-ceiling curtains by the window. Rogge's face appeared in the study. He walked out from behind the heavy floor-to-ceiling curtains and glanced at the two dead magicians. When they came to Constantine's body, they found that the old man had no breath.

 

Before he could figure out what to do next, noisy shouts and footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the door.
