In the middle of the night, Taiam Castle became brightly lit due to the issuance of the commandment, and except for the knights who went out to pursue, the rest of the knights poured out of their nests and patrolled all sides of the town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The central street, which should have been bustling, was deserted, and the blue cobblestone road was filled with the sound of patrolling knights walking around.

Two figures moved in the shadow of the building, Alina and Duboran, moving in the direction of the main palace.

Not long ago, Dubolan sneaked into the hotel where Alina was, saying that Leo, who was with her, had been hunted down by the Knights, and that the place was about to be discovered by the patrolling guards, and that it was already unsafe.

Dubolan, who was very anxious, even wanted to break in directly, but due to the presence of the [Second Shelter], it was shocked, which made Alina feel that the situation might be really serious.

Although Leo had told her not to leave the hotel easily, she did not hesitate when she saw that it was Dubolan himself, and she began to worry about Leo.

Having worked as an overseer in other cities for a while, she knew that the city's garrison was not as simple as it seemed.

And with even the mage towers in Taiyan City coming to assist in the pursuit, Leo now faces far stronger enemies than he did when he was in Bethers Village.

So it's better to cooperate with Dublan's actions now, and Alina, who realizes that she is a little burdensome, thinks sadly.

"Mr. Dubolan, further on is the main palace, where are you going to take me?"

Narrowly bypassing a group of patrolling guards, Alina, who looked a little uneasy, followed behind Dubran and said suspiciously.

“・・・”

Dubrain was silent, but led the way.

"You, not Dubolan, who are you?!"

Suddenly, Alina's heart was beating uneasily, and she sensed something was wrong.

Although he looks the same as Du Bolan and has a very similar temperament, after walking for a while, he gradually noticed that the figure of the person in front of him was somewhat subtle and different from Du Bolan.

Camouflage magic above the first level can subtly change people's appearance, and even replace temperament, if there are magic props to change the voice, and the height is similar, it is almost to the extent of fakeness!

"Arrest her."

Dubolan stopped and turned, the camouflage magic on his body bursting like foam as he said coldly.

This person is a cadre of the knights who was previously in the main palace and gave the city lord a plan!

Several light knights who had been in ambush came out of the shadows and surrounded Alina.

Main Palace, 2nd Floor, Tayam City Prison.

According to the rules of Taeam Castle, only criminals with unforgivable sins are imprisoned in this prison, and of course some dangerous characters are no exception.

And in the recent peaceful period, apart from a woman who was imprisoned as a necromancer, and the sinner Dubolan, the only one who was imprisoned was Alina.

"Bring it in."

Several guards escorted the unconscious Alina, and at the behest of the city lord and the knight cadres, they threw her into the cell next door to Dubolan.

"City Lord, after investigation, she seems to be the first-level task supervisor of the Mercenary Guild, do you want to go and get the information?"

The knight cadre retreated to the city lord's side and whispered.

“・・・”

And the city lord just looked at Alina intoxicated, looking in a trance.

"Ahem, there's no need, stay here first, and then make plans when the pursuit team returns to the city."

As if realizing his gaffe, the city lord hurriedly put away his salivation, and then left without looking back.

"Yes." "Yes." "Yes."

A group of knights beside him responded respectfully, looked at each other, sighed, followed the city lord, and left the prison together.

Suddenly, only a faint moonlight shone into the prison, and only the unconscious Alina and Duboran remained, and there was a female necromancer.

After some time, Alina woke up and looked into the cell next door, and found Dubran who had already woken up.

"I'm sorry, Mistress Alina, it's my fault."

Dubran was ashamed, he knew the cunning of a certain knight, and he himself was caught in prison, which indirectly led to Alina's capture.

"Mr. Dubrain doesn't blame himself, I was too careless."

Alina sighed, and then suddenly saw a strange woman in the distance, locked in a prison, with a disheveled hair.

That's the tavern hostess she's been looking for! There was no hope, but I still met her by chance!

If it were her, she might have recognized her grandmother's bracelet.

"Excuse me, do you recognize this bracelet?!"

Alina gritted her teeth and pulled out her bracelet as she yelled at the female necromancer.

The woman with the cloak was still motionless, completely unconcerned about Alina's words.

"Hey, can't you hear me?"

Dubolan looked at the woman's indifferent attitude, frowned, and shouted.

Yet the woman still sat quietly, like a stone statue.

"Have you ever heard of the name Grace?"

As soon as Alina's words fell, the woman's body shook, and two rays of light shot out of her eyes.

"Who are you?"

The woman looked up, her voice hoarse, but the moment she looked up and saw Alina, tears welled up in her eyes.

"You're Grace of the Second Court, more than twenty years, more than twenty years, but how is this possible?"

The woman jumped to her feet, clutching the pole of the cage and staring at Alina with a low sob.

"Grace, it's my grandmother, do you know anything about my grandmother?"

Alina was a little excited, and finally, there seemed to be a clue to her grandmother's whereabouts.

"Grace's granddaughter, that's right."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then let go of her hand and sat back on the ground, stopped sobbing and muttered.

"You shouldn't be here, you really shouldn't..."

The woman just kept repeating the words that didn't make sense, and it was clear that she wasn't going to tell Alina anything.

Alina was helpless, but there was nothing she could do.

The second floor of the main palace of Taeam Castle, the council chamber.

The Church of the Moon God, the Mage Tower, the Mercenary Guild, the City Executive Department, and the large and small forces in the city have all sent people to this council hall. Among them, the Luna Church and the Mercenary Guild came in person.

"Obviously, everyone already knows that Taiyan City issued the precept because it was invaded by necromantic forces."

"This matter started some time ago, when the female necromancer was arrested."

"One intruder has been killed, and one is still on the run, but with Ambot and the Knights' elite in pursuit, it should be soon."

"I asked everyone to come here to discuss whether we should unite with the surrounding towns, such as [Extreme Rock City] and [Earth Rock City], to cleanse the remaining necromantic forces in the city, just in case."

The city lord frowned deeply, looked around, and said slowly.

"The city lord is too worried, Taiyan City is heavily guarded, and some rats are not worried."

"Yes, Lord City Lord, the Chamber of Commerce has been busy recently, and if it is rashly cleaned, I am afraid it will have an impact on the development."

"Since we are here, we will be cautious and take care of it, and the city lord can rest assured."

"It's just a few necromancers, and Lord Ambot is coming back soon, so the city lord doesn't have to worry about it."

In addition to the Mage Tower, as well as the Luna Church, the representatives of the Mercenary Guild remained silent, and the rest of the large and small forces said that there was no need to make a big fuss, just be cautious.

"Eh, you guys..."

The city lord sighed, most of these big and small forces were afraid of harming their own interests, so they said these words.

"Lord Castle, when did Lord Amber attack?"

The representative of the mage tower, who was silent for a moment, looked a little strange, and said suddenly.

"Well, it's the middle of the night, your communication crystal..."

The city lord was stunned for a moment, didn't care too much, and said casually.

"Lord of the Castle! Ladies and gentlemen! Oh no, something happened outside the city! ”

The expression on the representative of the mage tower was even more surprised, and he was about to say something.

Suddenly, a light knight cadre broke into the council hall, hurriedly knelt down, and said anxiously.

"Ahem, panicked, what kind of system, speak slowly."

The city lord frowned, in front of so many bigwigs in the city, the panicked performance of his subordinates made him very dissatisfied.

"Skeletons, zombies, gargoyles, bone birds! It's all out there, monsters, please, please let the first and second knights and the heavy knights meet them as soon as possible! The wall guards are running out of action! ”

The light knight was out of breath and said something that shocked everyone!

Among the many sect powers, the Necromantic Guild, which has always been the weakest, actually relies on the strength of one branch to attack Taiyan City on a large scale, which is tantamount to launching a provocation against the entire Astai Kingdom!

It stands to reason that the Necromantic Guild will not rashly do something like hitting a stone with an egg, there must be something wrong with it, but everything is buried in a cloud of fog, confusing.

"Don't panic."

The city lord came back to his senses and said calmly.

Although the people present were also surprised by this news, they did not have a panicked look, after all, the garrison of Taiyan City was there.

"Inform the Knights cadres and tell them to contact the pursuit team outside, hurry back, and carry out a flanking attack on the Necromantic Guild."

"At the same time, I ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to notify the nearby cities and ask for support."

"Open the Crystal Eye of the City, there is also a large magic, and a spare magic crystal source."

"The Fourth Knights also have patrols to evacuate the people and raise the order level."

・・・。

"At the same time, I would like to ask everyone here to help first, and it is important to fight against the necromantic forces first."

"The city lord can rest assured."

"The Necromantic Guild doesn't know whether to live or die, and it's really stupid to hit a stone with an egg!."

"Hmph, Lao Tzu's knife hasn't cut these dead bones for a long time."

For a while, the conference hall was lively, and everyone seemed very relaxed and even eager to try.

"Bang!"

The sound of breaking, which silenced everyone, rang out at an inopportune time.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes moved to the representative of the Mage Tower.

His hands trembled uncontrollably, his face filled with indescribable horror, and the communication crystal in his hand fell to the ground with a sound that had just been made.

"The Wizard Tower Elites, all dead, Lord Ambot, have lost contact."

As if he had been drained of his strength, he knelt down, his eyes grim.

Suddenly, the noisy tide disappeared, and the entire council chamber fell silent.

In the deathly silence, the light knight cadre had just burst in again, his face pale, full of fear and panic.

"It's a big deal, Lord Castle! The first and second knights, including the heavy knights, are completely out of touch! The necromantic creatures are almost ready to break through the first line of defense! The sky outside is surrounded by dead air! It's pitch black! ”

The city lord also shuddered, and his face turned extremely pale.
