At night, the breeze blew around, gradually blowing away the bloody smell of the day.
In a small room in the manor, Athir sat quietly on a wooden chair, holding a black ring in his hand.
In the dark shadows, the black ring began to glow slowly, with faint fluctuations of magic power on it, and gradually a complex bloody mark emerged on the ring.
The blood-colored mark began to glow, and the energy particles stored on it slowly gathered, and the image of a white-haired old man emerged in the dim and small room.
"Athir, what's going on here?"
Looking at Athir who was sitting quietly in the room, the white-haired old man frowned and spoke, with strong dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Someone broke into my residence and tried to steal my experimental results. I rushed over and shot him dead. That's all..."
Athir raised his head and looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, his expression remaining calm.
"Is this your attitude?"
Looking at Athir's appearance, the white-haired old man had a cold expression and cold eyes.
"What else can I do?"
Athir's face was calm, he just spoke quietly, and he didn't seem to be affected by the other party at all.
"Oh…very good…"
The old man said indifferently: "Galuo is dead, so the task that should have belonged to him can only be handed over to you to complete."
"During this period, cooperate with Rem to stabilize the Kingdom of Gaoluo. Remember, we must not expose our existence!"
After hearing this, Athir was silent for a while, and then he spoke again: "I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light flashed on the ring in his hand, and the image that had originally appeared in front of him completely disappeared and no longer appeared.
Watching this scene quietly, sitting on a wooden chair, Athir quietly thought about the information he got from Rem.
During this period, the Ten Star School did take action, targeting several forces in this area, and the Gao Luo Kingdom was just one of them.
Small kingdoms in remote areas like the Kingdom of Gaoluo are rarely noticed by powerful wizards, so they are perfect for lurking.
In addition, during the trip to the Emerald City some time ago, Fred was lost in the ruins and was probably dead, and Athir joined the Ten Star School. There was only one official wizard left in this country, who was much easier to deal with than other forces.
Thinking of this, Athir stood up and walked out of the room.
A faint light shone from outside, illuminating Athir and making his shadow very long.
He looked into the distance, where there were a few people sitting.
"Sir." A voice sounded around.
Seeing Athir coming, a maid in a white dress walked over quickly with her head down, looked at Athir in panic and said, "Princess Solana ran away secretly, saying that she was going to take Lord Evan away."
"Let her find it if she wants."
Athir shook his head. He was not surprised that the other party escaped.
Even though she didn't have the qualifications of a wizard, Solana was a royal princess after all, and she carried several magical items with her. It was not surprising that she escaped from the hands of some ordinary people when Athir didn't pay attention.
However, Athir was not optimistic about what she did.
Since the Ten Star School has decided to take action against the Kingdom of Gaoluo, Evan, the only official wizard left, will definitely send people to deal with it specifically and will definitely not leave any hidden dangers.
Even if Suo Lana could find the other person this time when she left, she would probably only find a corpse.
Thinking of this, Athir turned around and looked in front of him.
In front of him, several children were sitting there, each of them was silent, as if they were stimulated by something.
Among these children, a little girl in a purple dress was sitting alone on a wooden chair. She was Fred's granddaughter.
"Uncle Athir, will grandpa come back?"
As if she felt Athir's gaze, the little girl raised her head timidly, looked at Athir with a little expectation, and asked.
Regarding this question, Athir could only remain silent.
Looking at Athir's appearance, the girl seemed to be aware of something and her eyes suddenly dimmed.
"May I have your name?"
After a while, Athir spoke again.
"My name is Annie..." the little girl's voice sounded in my ears.
Hearing the name, Athir nodded slightly and walked towards the room on the other side.
In that room, a young man with a sturdy build and a resolute face was sitting there. There were several wounds on his body and he seemed to be seriously injured.
"Lord Athir!"
Seeing Athir walking towards him, he raised his head and quickly saluted Athir.
"How's your recovery going?"
Looking at the young man in front of him who bowed his head and saluted seriously, Athir nodded slightly and asked.
"very nice."
The young man maintained his salute posture and said respectfully to Athir, "Lord Athir, your medicine is very effective. I feel that the wounds on my body will heal in a few days."
After hearing his words, Athir nodded and walked to a wooden chair beside him and sat down.
The young man in front of him was named Blanche, and he had met Arthur once before.
Strictly speaking, the first people Athir saw after arriving in the Emerald World were him and Solana.
When Garo and Rem, two wizards of the Ten-Star School, raided the palace, Blanche, as the leader of the Knights Temperament, happened to be leading a team of soldiers patrolling outside the palace. Although he encountered danger in the end, he managed to escape successfully. After hearing the news that Athir had returned, he came directly to Athir.
"What are your plans for the future?"
At the same place, Athir's voice suddenly sounded, which made Blanche stunned.
He sat there in a daze for a while, and finally showed a bitter smile on his face: "I don't know, maybe I will leave Gaoluo Kingdom and visit other countries."
The Gao Luo royal family is finished. Although he is not a member of the royal family, as one of the survivors in the palace, if he dares to continue staying in the Gao Luo Kingdom, he will probably be dealt with by the other party sooner or later.
In fact, if he had not been decisive enough and went to Athir's residence immediately after hearing that Athir had returned, he would probably have been purged by now.
"In that case, would you mind doing me a favor?"
Looking at Blanche in front of him, Arthur spoke again.
"What?" Blanche was stunned, then said respectfully, "Please give your orders."
"Take one of the children and leave."
Athir said bluntly: "Among these surviving children, one is Fred's granddaughter. I hope you can take her away from this area and live somewhere farther away."
"I want you to watch her grow up and let her live a peaceful life."
He looked at Blanche in front of him with a calm look in his eyes: "Can you do it?"
As he spoke, all his mental strength slowly spread out, and at this moment it all gathered on Blanche.
Opposite Arthur, Blanche hesitated for a while and thought for a long time before she said, "Yes!"
"very good."
Jingjing stood up from where he was, and Athir looked at Blanche: "As a reward for this mission, I will give you enough money and a complete set of Knight's Breathing Method."
"For now, take a good rest."
After saying this, he took one last look at Blanche before walking out.
I walked out of the room and found that in another room, the children were still sitting there, and some were hiding in the corner.
Standing outside the room, through his keen mental power, Athir could even hear the faint sound of crying.
After a moment of silence, he continued walking out without stopping.
Soon, time passed and half a month went by.
During this half month, the atmosphere in the capital of the entire Gaoluo Kingdom seemed depressing.
While several guardian wizards were not in the royal capital, the palace where King Gao Luo was located was attacked by a group of unknown wizards. Within the royal family alone, several princes and princesses were killed, and countless other soldiers were killed or injured. Even the king himself was seriously injured.
This incident had a great impact, so after that, Athir, the guardian wizard of the Kingdom of Gaoluo, returned to the capital, which quickly calmed down the nobles who were feeling uneasy in the capital.
One morning, standing outside a flat road in the wild, Athir and a few others stood there quietly, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, the sound of a horse-drawn carriage was heard in the distance, approaching here quickly.
