Although Ciri and Heroda have signed a preliminary contract, there are still a lot of details to discuss.

Seeing that it was not early, the two sides unanimously decided to put the rest of the rest to the next day.

......

At night, in the out-of-town manor of the Solon family.

Yang Chen and Xili walked side by side, and in front of them was the maid who was in charge of leading the way.

Although he didn't speak, Ciri still vaguely felt that Yang Chen's eyes were a little wrong, Ciri shook his head, tilted his head curiously, and said to Yang Chen, "What's wrong? Why have you been staring at me since now?"

Yang Chen's old face couldn't help but turn red, and then he said confidently, "How do you know that I look at you if you don't look at me?"

Hearing Yang Chen's rhetorical question, Xili suddenly lived up to his composure just now, but still said, "I just accidentally skimmed you......"

"Heh......" Yang Chen smirked......

Originally, he wanted to tease Ciri again, but seeing that she had a tendency to be annoyed and angry, Yang Chen didn't dare to make any more fuss about Ciri.

Getting rid of the punch that Ciri rushed up, Yang Chen said very seriously, "I kept staring at you just now, just sighing, it turns out that every woman is really a natural actor!"

Ciri stared at Yang Chen, not understanding why he said that, "...... I haven't acted before......"

"......" Hearing that Xili was actually explaining seriously, Yang Chen didn't know what to say for a while, "That's really talent...... You did a great job today!"

Because the maid of the Solon family was still in front, Yang Chen didn't say anything more, but Ciri still understood, and raised his head proudly, "That's not ......."

The two chatted with each other for a while along the way, and then went to different rooms under the guidance of the maid.

......

Following the maid to the room arranged by the Solon family, Yang Chen looked around and was very satisfied, not to mention the splendor, but whether it was the beautifully carved wooden furniture or the right furnishings, Yang Chen felt the delicacy of aristocratic life......

Yang Chen found a reason to refuse the maid's service, and after washing himself a little, he began to meditate on the bed.

The sun rises in the morning, which is the best time to practice internal strength, and in the dead of night, it is the golden time for meditation.

If it weren't for the fact that meditation could only relieve mental fatigue and could not solve physical exhaustion, Yang Chen would definitely replace sleep through meditation.

Now Yang Chen has been guided by Bori, the vice president of the Academy of Magic, coupled with his hard work, Yang Chen's magic level has officially stepped into the magic apprentice level.

All that's left is to keep engraving the magic core......

Magic, or the core of the spell, is a vital part of the spellcaster!

Magical apprentices enter the ranks of the Extraordinary after building their first Magic Core, while the Extraordinary Spellcaster needs to build more Magic Cores!

Now, although Yang Chen has successfully captured a trace of magic power through spiritual power far beyond ordinary people, he is still far from building a complete spell core......

For magicians, spiritual power has always been in harmony with the elements, and it is the two legs that support the path of magic to go further......

The former can quickly engrave spell cores and, if the quality of spiritual power is high enough, then the spiritual sea will become more stable and can accommodate more spell cores, while elemental affinity is more manifested in the actual creation and casting.

If the magic core is compared to a construction project, then the engineering drawings are equivalent to mental power, and the actual building material is magic power, and the elemental affinity is the cement with a high degree of cohesion!

......

It was late at night, and the whole farm fell into a deep sleep, completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of the past.

The moon hung high on the hillside in the distance, shimmering with a cold light.

The moonlight shone on the earth, reflecting a frost as white as snow!

Even Starlight is not willing to be lonely, shining in the clouds......

As the night wore on, the area around the farm became more and more silent......

At some point, the moon was obscured by thick clouds drifting from nowhere, revealing only half of his cheeks......

At this moment, a black figure that was thicker than the surrounding night suddenly flashed, rushing towards the farm from a distance!

Touching the fence of the farm, which is several meters high, it did not stop for a moment, and the sturdy figure spun in the air a few times, and then quietly jumped over the wall......

This sequence of movements should have caused a serious stir, and should have been more noticeable in the silence of the night, but strangely enough, not only did it not attract the attention of the sleeping man, but even the sensitive dog separated by a wall did not notice it in the slightest!

The figure was originally going to go directly over the wall, but it found a black wolfdog lying lazily on the side!

After a moment's thought, the figure did not choose to follow the original route, but moved along the wall for a while, and after a few breaths, jumped to the eaves not far away!

This man seems to be very familiar with the Solon family's manor outside the city, and even if he walks on the rooftop, he can clearly identify the destination!

After a while, the shadow came to the courtyard of Herodath!

Rolled over and fell, hiding in the grass below......

Originally, according to Heroda's meaning, even in the manor, guards should be arranged to be on duty, but obviously, those guards did not take it seriously, and at the door of Heroda's room, the two guards were already sleeping on the edge of the door......

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but sneer, and then slowly shook his head, as if to sigh that Heroda had a bunch of straw bales under his hands!

I wanted to step forward again, but when I looked at the moon in the sky that was covered by clouds and mist, and the hazy moonlight could leak out, I was still inexplicably unhappy......

With a wave of his hand, the fog in the sky became even bigger......

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but nod with satisfaction!

As the saying goes, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson!

Well, life still needs some rituals......

The mysterious man in the black robe pulled out a sharp dagger with his backhand!

There was still a little light around, but after the dagger appeared, it was all devoured!

One rushed forward, and a phantom shadow appeared in the darkness, and between the two figures, they were already covering the mouth and nose of a guard, and the dagger was neatly slashed from the throat!

The two shadows each leaned the guard's body against the edge of the door, and slowly pushed the door in!

Looking at Heroda, who was sleeping with her maid in her arms, a smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth!

............

On the second day, before dawn, Yang Chen was woken up by a commotion!

He opened the curtains with sleepy eyes, and saw that the darkness in the distance had not yet receded, only the slightest light in the sky, telling the specific time now!

Taking out the pocket watch that had been drawn through the system, Yang Chen glanced at the specific time again, and the hands were impressively between the numbers 4 and 5!

What the hell, it's only half past four, what's the noise?

Yang Chen, who was woken up, was very unhappy, and wanted to continue to lie down and sleep, but the next second, he was woken up by the whispers of two maids passing by the aisle outside the window.

"I heard that last night, the old man died in his room......"

"What?" the other maid was a little surprised, and when she heard the news, her voice couldn't help but raise an octave, then she looked around and asked softly, "Really?"

Seeing the disbelieving eyes of her companion, the maid who spoke earlier replied, "Can this be fake? I heard that the children of Lord Heroda have rushed here after hearing the news!" After a pause, he said, "And what do you think the butler called us over to gather this time?" just to control us first, and investigate carefully, I heard that they suspect that this time it was an insider who committed the crime......"

That is to say...... Could it be that the murderer is still in this manor and has not left?" the maid's face turned pale with fright for a moment......

"It's okay, it's okay...... As long as we hurry over and gather, the murderer will not act in front of everyone......"

"Yes, yes, yes...... You're right, let's get ...... go."

......

Yang Chen was completely sleepy at this time, and his mind was shocked by this sudden news......

A baron says to die, or is it in his own estate?

What's more, I didn't even notice it last night?

At this time, what Yang Chen cared more about was not the news of Heroda's death, but his own strength......

Previously, Yang Chen thought that he could be extraordinary with the help of the terrifying robot, but last night's incident made Yang Chen feel that his strength was still very low, and he already needed more powerful strength to live in this world!

After all, foreign things are only external things, and only real things are one's own......

Thinking of this, Yang Chen hurriedly got up.

Previously, the maid said that the murderer was likely to still hide himself in this manor, so that she could only have a sense of security if she went to seek shelter in Xili!

......

Yang Chen can be woken up by the noise of the manor, let alone the stronger Xili!

Ciri sat solemnly in his chair at this time, and on one side was the Shadow Guard who reported to him carefully!

The Shadow Guard is the secret guard of the Cecil family, responsible for intelligence gathering, military intelligence spying, and personal care for important members of the family!

On this trip, in order to avoid an incident like the last time in Blue Moon City, Ciri was forced to bring a team of ten people this time!

At this time, Ciri's heart was undoubtedly very shaken, last night's assassination, not only did she not notice it as a high-level peak strength, but even the shadow guard who was proficient in assassination and guarding did not feel the wind and grass!

You know, the quality of the Shadow Guard is not comparable to that of the unprofessional guards under Heroda, and they will strictly take turns on duty even at night!

Although yesterday, the Shadow Squad was mainly responsible for the security of the Xiri Courtyard, but a manor is not very large, and with the strength of the Shadow Guard, it will not be unnoticed in any case!

Ciri already vaguely felt that something was wrong at this time! A killer who could pass the Shadow Guard's investigation would deign to assassinate a mere baron?
