Chapter 310: Under the Mist (19)

As the voice fell, a figure was illuminated by lightning sparks from the blade. The man standing in front of him, wearing a black cloak, a black hood, and a brown linen night suit, still made Luna feel familiar by her back. It was because of this sudden intrusion through the window that Luna was spared from injury.

"Is that you?"

Luna recovers. The thank you she wanted to say was swallowed directly by Luna. Luna touches the candelabra on the east wall with the dark fire of her right index finger, lighting up the room.

With the lights on, she tries to see the person in front of her, but Luna is disappointed to find that the room is Zoe in addition to herself. As for Belton, only the afterimage of the chase was left behind.

"Who's that? The man wears an iron mask, and he's your accomplice?" Zoe asked.

"So, you want to keep fighting? Don't you want to know who that guy is?"

Luna looks at Zoe, amused by Zoe's dazed look. Luna would have had a good time if she had made things a little more troublesome, or if she had caused some trouble for the man in the cloak just now. So, with a puzzling sneer, she pushed Zoe away and ran out the door.

"Miss Zoe, what are you waiting for? Or are you not going to find Hugh? I'm going to see a good show. ”

After chasing all the way to the stone road on the east side outside the castle, Luna realizes that there are more people wearing black cloaks. She guessed that the people who were fighting the hired men had come here to save the meritorious knights who were imprisoned in the secret room. Luna didn't want to get involved in any boring fights. Now, whether it's Hugh or Susan, Luna wants to know where they are.

"Hugh?"

Luna shouts, realizing that she is stupid to do so, and stops shouting a second time. She thought that if she wanted to find Hugh, she would have to ask the people in this manor. And Mr. Betsy, as the owner of the manor, wasn't he the one who knew the truth? She used her magic power to sense the magic fluctuations floating in the courtyard, and found that the magic fluctuations were getting smaller and smaller.

So, Belton went further afield?

Just then, Hugh's shouts came again. This time, Luna pinned her bearings and learned the reason for her weak mana fluctuations. In fact, the power of the moon god in the east tower is working, so that Luna's magical perception is weakened.

Breaking into the east tower, the west-facing Seal Door is opened. Luna guesses that there may be more than one key to open the door to magic. Passing through the hidden arches of the empty room, Luna stepped past several downed bone golems and made her way up the steps. After encountering a window, Luna takes a slight look at the castle's courtyard.

In the castle's southern courtyard, Luna discovers the mercenary leader Virgil and the butler Perry. In the midst of that chaotic scene, Virgil and Perry are cooperating with the hired men who are surrounded by dark magic. In addition to this, Luna also sees a surprise that Susan is there too.

"It should be, Susan was already rescued by Virgil and Perry......"

Relieved, Luna chuckled inwardly at her peace of mind. Virgil and Perry are protecting Susan, which does not surprise Luna. She re-examined the clues and confirmed what she was thinking: Virgil and Perry knew some things about Belton, but they were forced to continue to follow Belton for some reason. Help Susan, coupled with a kind reminder that Virgil, Perry, and Belton are not in the same boat.

Could it be that Virgil and Perry knew that Berton had captured the Knights of Merit? and they were just waiting for an opportunity...... Luna retracts her gaze and lands back on the steps up the stairs, before turning into a black mist.

Continuing upwards to reach the room where Mr. Betsy used to store his papers, Luna sees Hugh. Hugh, being grabbed by two hired men on the shoulder.

"You're, the man I met that night......" Hugh looked at Luna in surprise. However, he didn't bother to look at Luna, and shook his arms to break free from the employees.

"Let go of me!"

"Did you let you go?" said Mr. Betsy, who was at the long table facing the south doorway, to Hugh in the east corner.

"I didn't do it. Hugh argued. He glanced at Luna, and immediately bit the hand of the hired man on his right. As a result, he did not make it, but was hugged by the hired man on his left.

"Watch him, don't let him run. When I'm done dealing with the man in the cloak in front of me, and the woman at the door, I'll let Hugh know the rules of the manor. ”

In fact, Mr. Betsy had already fought the man who was standing on the opposite side and helped Luna. From the moment she entered the East Tower, Luna felt the remaining waves of magic in the scratches, partly from the power of the moon god from Belton, and partly from the divine magic of the cloaked man in front of her.

Luna could still tell the strength of the magic, and it was Belton, who had the power of darkness and the power of the moon god, who had the upper hand. Because, in the empty room under the stairs, the magic fluctuations of the power of the moon god are very obvious, while the magic fluctuations of the divine power are faint.

With so much difference in mana, there's no need for Luna to deliberately cause trouble. Luna plans to watch a fight scene to ease her recent boredom. As a result, Luna deliberately took two steps back to the door, and deliberately pouted to indicate that it was none of her business, and even said that the latecomer should give in to the first comer.

"Look, Belton, you're going to have to fight this cloak man in front of us. Otherwise, without winning or losing, you can't find fault with me. "There is a shortage of books

With that, Luna shrugged. However, there was one thing she didn't understand, and that was how these cloaked men were going to rescue the decorated knights who were imprisoned in the secret room. The door to the magic seal forged with the power of the moon god was not so easy to open.

In addition, one thing that Luna never understood was the affair between Mr. Betsy's youngest daughter and Hugh. Before, she let go of this doubt because she didn't care, and now she has to rethink. Could it be that Hugh was the one who treated Mr. Betsy's youngest daughter?

Indeed, for the past few days, Luna has not noticed anyone else heading to the hallway east of the third floor.

The more I thought about it, the more strange it became, how could a thirteen-year-old boy see a doctor? Luna's headache worsened due to sleepiness. She tried to come to Hugh's aid, but her feet didn't listen, as if they were pinned to the ground. She thought back to the first time she saw Hugh, and she was angry.

Hugh, who was firmly caught, had a resemblance to Luna in terms of fate, and Luna felt it. She looked at Hugh as if she had seen her childhood self. In order to live, he was forced to work hard, and he was angry with his brothers, but he did not dare to speak. Because, even a fight can't make Luna change her status as oppressed by her brothers.

If it were in the past, Luna wouldn't have lamented that she had lost some time because of fate. Now, she is amazed at how much she has changed.

So, what about Hugh?

In the moments when Luna lost his mind, the cloaked man and Belton were almost in the fight. Luna lunged over the man's chest with a one-handed sword that Belton would use as a cane.

Grabbing Belton's one-handed sword with her right hand wrapped in black mist, Luna said to the man on the left, "What exactly did you prepare to have the guts to challenge the Vice-Leader of the Church of Light?"

"It's just a rescue plan, and it doesn't have to be a fight. "The man in the cloak said it lightly. He smiled and withdrew his sword, using his left hand to tighten the loose mask strap behind his left ear. "My friends, we've gone to the Chamber of Secrets. I think they've got people out. ”

Belton's eyes widened, "What? Are you deliberately entanglement with me?"

"Yes, you understand now. And, I have to go. ”

As the cloaked man took a step in front of Luna, Hugh rushed over. This one really didn't make Luna and the man in the cloak react.

In an instant, Luna's thoughts collapsed. The kind, pitiful Hugh in her eyes turned out to be Mr. Betsy's helper. Glancing at the hired man on the east wall, Luna noticed that the dagger in the hired man's hand was missing. Searching for the pain of the wound, Luna finds the dagger and holds it in Hugh's hand.

As for Hugh's expression, it was the kind of fierceness that Luna had ever seen. With no mercy and the killer in pain, Luna can't understand why Hugh did it.

"It's not too bad. Hugh drew his dagger and retreated to Mister Betsy's left, staring coldly at the stunned Luna and the man in the cloak.

Overturning the long table near the west wall, the cloaked man pulls Luna and runs to the stairs beyond the arch. "We've got to get out of here. ”

"Where's Susan and Zoe?" Luna covered the wound in her left abdomen with the dark fire in her left palm, and asked the cloaked man.

Finding that there has been no reply, Luna does not ask any more questions. Anyway, she knows that she is surrounded by people she knows well and can be trusted. After running out of the East Tower, Luna realizes that the dagger Hugh had used to stab her was not an ordinary object. Using her dark magic perception, Luna realizes one thing: Dagger has been planted with a dark curse.

"But I couldn't figure out one thing. Was Silver's idea for the traps in the manor?" asked Luna.

"You better stay awake. If willpower is shaken, the effect of the Dark Curse will be accelerated. Luna heard the warning, of course. However, because of Hugh's disguise, she thought of a guy who made her angry, so she did not say anything.

As she was about to reach the lumber pile, Luna glanced back. It was in the tower window that she saw the answer she wanted: Hugh, a tall man in black dragon armor.

Frightened, Luna had to remind the people around her: "I know who you are, you have to take your people and leave quickly!"

"I thought no one would recognize me. As he stepped through the puddle, the man in the cloak pulled Luna again.

Just then, Luna saw Susan, three men in black cloaks, and the meritorious knights in the chamber rushing out of the chamber. Walking under the north wall, Luna forcibly tugs at the wall with her right hand holding the Dark Fire, tearing out a dark magical door.

Using the black mist to forcibly push the person who rushed out of the secret room and the person who supported her into the magic door, Luna silently recited the spell to close the magic door in her heart.

Now, the door of magic slowly closes, and Luna says coldly to the wall, "Oh, who's the demon......"
