Maureen felt that his perception had never been so sharp. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A short distance along the path of the shattered roof tiles and abrasions, he once again noticed the trail of mana left by Baron Pike, a subtle fluctuation of mana, formed by the overflow of mana consumed by the baron chasing the assassin with all his might, although it had become extremely thin, the boy still sensed its fluctuations.

Spirited, he quickly chased forward.

The king of Lothar was the largest city in the whole territory, covering a vast area and a large population. Although most of the city was destroyed by the fire more than a decade ago, and countless people were killed and injured, over the years, with the support of the Lord Regent and the help of a steady stream of freight from the airport, the city has been restored to its former appearance.

The mix of old and new buildings makes the city's topography even more complex.

Merlin followed the magic fluctuations left by the baron and ran all the way, stepping over the roof, over the arcades, through the alleys, through the river holes, I don't know how many blocks he passed, and seeing that the magic fluctuations were getting weaker and weaker, indicating that the time between the time and the baron passed here was getting longer and longer, and the hope of catching up with the baron was getting slimmer and slimmer, and his heart was even more anxious.

Daddy, don't let anything happen to you......

Finally, near the edge of the royal capital, Morin lost the subtle fluctuation and he had to stop.

It was an empty square, with only a dark stone tower standing in the center. The stone tower is not tall compared to the magic tower, but it looks very ancient, and I don't know how many years have passed here.

It's a beacon of order...... Maureen recognized it.

The stone tower is the lighthouse for the Flame of Order, which is said to have burned here long before the founding of Lothar, but it is known as the Cursed Lighthouse because of the events of more than a decade ago, and no residents want to play in the square anymore. Osmond had been here the other day when he had taken him on a tour of the royal capital, but according to Osmond, the lighthouse had been cordoned off by the Holy Council, and no one outside the royal court of Lothar was allowed to enter, and Maureen was not allowed to enter it.

Having once again lost track of the baron, and not knowing where General Hunt had been chased, the boy was anxious but helpless, so he recalled the route and prepared to return to the inn before making plans.

Maybe Daddy didn't catch up with the Assassin, and by this time he had already gone back to the inn or the central square to look for me...... The boy thought helplessly.

At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded not far away:

"Why don't you let in? Is this your family's territory?!"

This is the voice of Baron Pike.

"Daddy?!" Morin suddenly became excited.

The sound came from the other side of the lighthouse, and the young man ran to the center of the square in two steps, and circled around the stone tower for half a circle, and saw that in front of the lighthouse entrance, a middle-aged man in flashy black armor was looking at the lighthouse guard with a dissatisfied expression, it was Baron Pike.

It appeared that the baron wanted to enter the lighthouse, but was stopped by the guards.

"Daddy Pike!" the boy exclaimed breathlessly, finally confirming that the Baron was safe, and Merlin only felt a strong sense of fatigue hit him, and he had just followed the traces of magic all the way from the royal capital square, and it really took a lot of strength.

"Why are you here?!" The baron was already very angry when he was stopped by the guard, and when he saw that Morin actually chased here, he was even more angry with the boy: "Didn't you let you stay with Esier in the square!"

"I was worried that you would be in danger, so I chased you! You ran away by yourself and still talked about me!" Morin complained.

The baron pursed his lips, looking a little embarrassed, rolled his eyes and muttered, "What's the use of your little boy who hasn't even grown his hair if I'm in danger?"

But he immediately asked again: "How did you chase you?"

"Of course I followed the magic fluctuations you left behind, and you didn't try to hide your tracks, but I almost lost it when you jumped on the roof at that fountain junction!" said Maureen.

Baron Pike looked at Merlin in surprise when he heard this: "Yes, in the year of Iluvita, not only is his skills improved, but his spiritual perception has also improved a lot!"

"That's nature!" said the boy proudly, "I'm the best at the Spiritual Perception course." ”

"Daddy, what are you doing here, aren't you chasing the Assassin, what about the Assassin?" he asked.

Speaking of business, the baron looked angry again: "Let me tell you, your father and I have first-class kung fu in escaping for our lives, and the kung fu of tracking is naturally not bad, but the assassin also seems to be a very powerful master, and his body trace is extremely secretive, I have not been able to lock him, and I finally lost the trace of that person when I chased him to this square." ”

"Then why are you in conflict with the guards of this lighthouse?" asked Morin.

"Although I have lost track of the man, he has always disappeared in this area, and I have been wandering around here for a long time, and he is the most suspicious of the lighthouse, and he still prevents me from entering, do you think there is a problem?" said the baron, and then he was about to break into the lighthouse, but the guard stubbornly stopped him at the door.

The guard, dressed in heavy armor and a helmet with a protective head, had no Lothar crest on its dark armor, and had no other insignia to reveal his identity, but he stood in front of the baron with a large square shield in one hand and a silver-black sword in the other.

The entrance to the lighthouse was not wide, and no one could get through the shield guards wherever they went.

"Are you going to shield the killer?" asked Pike, snapped.

"I've been here since noon and I've never seen any suspicious people. The shield guard said coldly, his voice hoarse, as uncomfortable as if his throat had been broken.

"Then let me go in and search, and if I can't find an assassin, I'll leave!" Pike said.

"In order to avoid being destroyed by the cultists, we have sealed off this lighthouse by order of the Holy Council, and no one is allowed to enter unless there is a command from the Council!" the shield guard did not let in the slightest.

"This is the lighthouse of Lothar, and the Holy Council is too lenient!" the baron snorted, "I want to see how you can stop me with a fourth-order shield guard!"

Saying that, he waved his big hand and pushed Mo Lin a little farther away, and the aura on his body suddenly became stronger, and he was actually planning to break through.

The shield guard tried to block it, but Pike slapped it on the dark square shield, and somehow pulled the shield guard out, and reflexively fell to the ground, this time the shot was not light, the shield guard's armor was deformed, and the whole person struggled on the ground twice but couldn't stand up again.

Mo Lin looked at the baron in a daze, he had never seen his father make a move before, he didn't expect it to be so powerful, just this understatement made the fourth-order shield guard lose his combat ability.

The baron couldn't help but roll his eyes again when he saw the young man's look of amazement, thinking that he had shown off in front of little Morin that he was a high-level warrior in the past, and he had never believed this kid......

With no one in his way, the baron was about to step into the lighthouse passage, but a cold-faced middle-aged man appeared in front of him.

The man was dressed in a blood-colored robe, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, as if he appeared in the passage out of thin air, and his right hand was lit up with a ball of blood, exuding violent fluctuations of magical power, perhaps to guard against Baron Pike, in case he suddenly attacked.

"I have heard the name of the griffon shield of the Lothar Kingdom for a long time, and it really acts unscrupulously, and even the Holy Council does not pay attention to it. The middle-aged man said coldly: "But this lighthouse has been sealed off by us, not to mention the assassins, not even ants can climb in, and please leave Your Excellency the Griffon's Shield, and don't break in under the pretext of searching for the assassins." ”

Seeing the middle-aged man, especially the ball of blood on his right hand, Pike's face became much more solemn, and he moved a step to the side without a trace, protecting Morin who was a little farther away.

He asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is not from Lothar, who is Your Excellency? Professionals above the sixth order from outside the king need to be reported to the king, seeing that your Excellency seems to have lived here for a long time, your identity is inevitably suspicious, do you want to believe it if you say that you have not seen an assassin?"

"I am a scholar personally appointed by Speaker Augustus to study the cause of the failure of the fire thirteen years ago, and I have my own letter of appointment from Speaker Augustus, if Your Excellency the Griffon's Shield must look at it. As he spoke, his left hand was spread out, and a glittering magical page appeared in his hand, and a white wreath appeared on the page, representing the Holy Council of nations and races.

Pike glanced at the page and said disdainfully, "It turned out to be Augustus's dog's leg, no wonder there has been no progress in research for so many years," he changed his words and shouted angrily: "The Earl of Grey Mountain was assassinated and died, I followed the assassin all the way here, and there is only this lighthouse nearby where I can hide, you are not colluding with the murderer to stop me like this!"

"Your Excellency is indeed not in a small temper, but if you speak like this, is it accusing the Holy Council of sending someone to assassinate the Earl of Grey Mountain? If Your Excellency does not believe it, you can ask Your Majesty Esier or His Highness Strayer to come and inspect it, and I will not stop you. The man said.

"How can this be true? It is not difficult to open the spatial passage with magic, and it is even easier if there is a magical barrier, and when Esil finds time to check here, even if I have been guarding this lighthouse, I am afraid that people will run away from nowhere!" said Pike.

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a wave of magic power from the lighthouse, and Pike's face changed, and he was about to break in.

"I can't help myself!" the middle-aged man who was blocking the way snorted coldly, and the blood in his hand was abundant, and a moment later, countless spider silks shot out from the wall, forming a thick spider web barrier between him and the baron in an instant.

Pike kept at his feet, slamming his fist into the spider silk barrier, but failing to break it, and the magic fluctuations in the lighthouse became stronger and stronger, as if a powerful spell model was forming in it.

The baron frowned, took two steps back, and the flashy armor on his body lit up with a fierce light like sword energy, and then turned into a streamer of light and crashed towards the spider web barrier.

The barrier was deeply sunken in, but the countless spider silk did not break even on the walls of the passage, and under the baron's impact, the walls seemed to light up with magical enchantments, blocking the baron's entry.

The baron withdrew, not making another attempt.

The mana fluctuations in the Lighthouse of Order suddenly weakened after reaching a high point, and no matter what kind of magic was cast in the Lighthouse, it was clear that the spell had already been cast at this time.

As the magic fluctuations just spread out, General Hunter finally rushed here from the sky, he glanced at the cobweb barrier at the lighthouse passage, then at Maureen and the baron, and asked Pike, "What happened?"

"I tracked the assassin to this vicinity and lost his trace, maybe the assassin hid in the lighthouse, I suspect that the spell fluctuation just now opened the spatial passage to allow the assassin to escape, but I just suspect that I haven't found any definite evidence. The baron said to General Hunt, "I wanted to go in and search, but they stopped me, and the matter was left to the general." ”

The matter was explained to Hunter, and the baron did not want to meddle in the matter again.

He walked up to Morin and patted the boy on the back.

"Daddy, if you can rush in now, maybe you can tell what kind of magic it was just from the residual magic fluctuations. Maureen said.

The baron shook his head: "I can't rush in, the magic barrier that forms a spider web barrier relies on the lighthouse tower, if you really want to break it with brute force, I am afraid it will cause damage to the lighthouse and endanger the order of the fire, that person is also aware of this point to have nothing to fear." ”

"What then?" asked Maureen.

"If the Assassins were hiding in this lighthouse, they would have left no clues. I have just told General Hunt about everything that should be explained, and I will mention the details to His Majesty Esir again when I have the opportunity, and let His Majesty deal with them, my identity is more sensitive, so this matter can only be like this. Baron Pike replied:

"Let's go, let's go back. ”
