Imperial capital.

It's like putting a black veil on a beautiful bride.

The wheels of the magic caravan were crushed on the smooth bluestone pavement, perhaps because of the lack of grease at the axles, and the squeaky sound of the gelatin-coated wheels.

The car looked a little shabby, but when I extended my magic perception, I found that the rune metal plates on the entire caravan were brand new, and the magic crystal inlaid in the center of the rune metal plate also contained rich magical power, and there were three rune metal plates of 'Wind Elegance' and two rune metal plates of 'levitation' inlaid at the wheel hub, and only two rune metal plates of 'levitation' were currently functioning normally.

The three 'Wind Grace' rune plates embedded in the axles were full of magic, but they were in a state of stagnation, and I suspect that it was the fact that these three rune plates were not functioning that forced the unusually heavy magic caravan to squeak and squeak. But I could feel that the three rune plates were definitely brand new, and that this magic caravan that was constantly moving forward was definitely not as old as it appeared.

I put the 'magic shield' scroll back in my sleeve and looked at Louis sitting on the soft seat opposite me very speechlessly, with a hint of appreciation on his face, and said to me: "I think you are more suitable to be a swordsman, your reaction speed is no worse than those real swordsmen, and you are decisive and calm, you are born to be a swordsman." ”

"But I like magic more. I said to him calmly, then looked out the window cautiously, and said, "Aren't you worried that the Dark Arts Hidden Assassin will find out that you are in my caravan, and then he will not take the bait?"

"I'm still holding my point, I don't think you're their target anymore, because those magical herbs are out now, and you should be safe. ”

"So, why do you have to arrange this operation tonight?" I complained.

He rolled his eyes speechlessly, and thought to himself: Since you think that the 'dream maker' of the Black Magic Hermitage will not come to the door, why do you want to delay my precious time, if it weren't for waiting for you and cooperating with you in this scene, I should be in the magic laboratory of the research institute at this moment, and the Yerkis scholar estimates that I am going crazy waiting now, although I have someone to bring him news, but near the end of the month, if this set of magic pattern construction cannot be completed, it is really a troublesome thing, for him and for me.

"Well, sometimes, you will find it difficult to understand the psychology of the Assassins, and some of them will see the unfinished task as a disgrace, and perhaps this failure will form an obstacle in their path. I don't know if you can understand me when I say that?"

"So, do you think that assassin is going to plan another assassination attempt against me in the near future in order to have a smooth path to cultivation in the future?" I asked Louis.

"That's right, that's it!" Louis said confidently.

I didn't agree with Louis's idea, but I had a hunch that the Assassin would come back to me before leaving the capital.

I couldn't help but look at the night sky outside the window through the car window, above the dark night sky, the crescent moon like a hook and the bright stardust have all disappeared, only some lines similar to the five-color aurora slowly flow in the night sky, making the whole sky look very weird. This indicates that the defensive shield over the imperial capital has been fully opened, and those members of the Dark Arts Hermitage hidden in the imperial capital either choose to flee or choose to lurk, in this period of martial law in the whole city, it is definitely ten times more difficult than usual to pass the level of Majaro Pass.

I have a hunch that those people from the Dark Arts Retreat still haven't given up on finding clues to the 'Shadow Body' potion, and perhaps because of this, their eyes will fall back on me, and I don't think those Dark Arts Retreats will ever try to assassinate me because I happened to be selling a few carts of low-grade magic herbs at this time.

Louis shot a hot look in his eyes, looking at the royal city floating in the air in the night sky, his eyes were full of enthusiasm and admiration, I think this Gripen Knight must be the absolute supporter of the royal power of Charles the Great, maybe those wealthy nobles in the first line of succession, when they were young, they all had the experience of serving in the Royal Gripen Knights, and then they have accepted the imperial power of the Grimm Empire in their bones.

Louis lowered his voice and said to me, "So I invited some old fellows of the Royal Knights of the Gripen, who have already laid out a net on this road to the Tower of Pride, and since they dare to do anything to the Mensa family's airship, then they must be prepared to be chopped up." ”

It seems that the people of the Dark Arts Hermitage have completely offended Louis, and this group of people walking in the dark will eventually be liquidated by the Empire.

"You didn't seem to see the magic caravan I had for you. Louis carefully leaned against the window and looked outside, where it seemed to be completely dark.

"Luis, I didn't know it was a carriage you had prepared, and you didn't give any hints. "I felt a little innocent,grumbled.

Louis looked at me in surprise: "How is it possible, didn't I draw a stick figure of the Gripen outside the carriage?

“...... You say that the fat chicken with four paws painted outside the carriage is the legendary Gripen?" I laughed.

"Uh-huh!" Louis coughed awkwardly, and then said to me seriously: "I came in just to say hello to you, so that you can rest assured, the outside is full of people I have arranged, oh, the magic caravan is about to drive out of the range of the Royal Academy of Magic's 'Eye of Vision', I'll go first, you be careful, when you meet that assassin, remember to bless yourself with a magic shield as soon as possible." ”

"Well, I'll be careful. I said to Louis.

Louis wrapped in a black cloak, put the hood of the cloak over his head, pushed the door open, jumped out of the carriage lightly, and quickly ducked into the shadows on the corner.

......

The magic caravan drove into a narrow alley of nowhere, and although I knew that the caravan was still heading in the direction of the Tower of Pride, I couldn't tell where I was in the night.

On those main streets, from time to time, there will be knights and lords of the imperial capital guard battalion, riding horses and swaying on the street, and when they reach this narrow alley, it seems that they will not be able to see a single figure.

The street trees on both sides of the long street are very dense, and if you hide a few people in the trees, you will probably be difficult to be found. The streets were getting more and more deserted, and the men arranged by Louis did not know where they were lurking, and they could not see any of them. A gust of night breeze blew in through the window, making me feel a little cold.

No, even on an early spring night, it can't make me feel cold, and I, who came to the north, have ever been afraid of the cold.

The winter in El was freezing cold, but I was still able to dig a pit in the snow and sleep in a sleeping bag.

But where did that coldness come from? My heart tightened a little,

The nervousness was like the rising tide of the sea, and I didn't feel anything at first, but when I found that the water had risen, it was too late to run to the shore, and when fatigue hit, I felt that my head became groggy and a little dizzy, and my head sank uncontrollably, desperately trying to doze off.

I was resisting in my heart, desperately telling myself: don't sleep, don't sleep...... But that kind of tiredness is like a tide, wave after wave hits, it is simply irresistible, I know it is not good, but it is like a person who can't swim falling into deep water, no matter how he struggles, it is in vain, the more he struggles, the more he feels tired, and he can't resist.

'Hypnosis'

By the time I realized that I might have fallen for some kind of hypnosis, it was a little late, and the feeling of being in the boundless darkness, a feeling of being watched by a predator, quickly spread throughout my body.

Just when I was at a loss, a 'magic aura of anti-magic' appeared in my body, which clearly appeared at my feet, and then a cool breeze blew on my face, which made me a little sober, and I took the opportunity to take out a 'frost scroll' from my magic waist bag, the advantage of this scroll is that it doesn't need to recite any spells at all, as long as you gently tear off the marlian grass rope and unfold the scroll, the cold air inside will suddenly fill the entire carriage.

The "Frost Scroll" was unfolded by me, and a cold air hit me, completely sobering me up.

Nervously, holding the 'magic shield' scroll in one hand and the 'Shura Battle Axe' in the other, I shrank in the corner of the carriage, and then extended my magic perception as far as I could, spreading out along the magic caravans.

The car door was suddenly pushed open, and the coachman, who wrapped his body under the black cloak, suddenly stuck his head in, saw me curled up in the corner with great consciousness, stunned for a moment, and then quickly said to me: "Hide in the car and don't move!"

Then, in a moment, the man vanished, and I looked out the window to see that the coachman had taken off his cloak, and with a Crusader sword in his hand, he had jumped onto the roof on the left side of the street.

In the night, there seemed to be a figure running away on the rooftop.

The knight, disguised as a coachman, followed closely, and in just a few breaths, the knight's figure jumped a few times on the roof, and the surrounding street trees were also immediately surrounded by shadows, and the knights, swordsmen, rangers, and archers who were lying in ambush on the canopy of trees on both sides of the street, on the roof, and in the courtyard, suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and surrounded the dark shadows like a net.

Speechless, I emerged from the carriage to see the excitement, only to see a lone carriage standing in the street, and the knights who were chasing the Assassins were all gone in an instant.

At this time, there were several sharp and piercing eagle chirps in the sky, a sense of suffocation surging from the sky, I quickly retracted my perception, it was the coercion transmitted by the high-level demonic beasts, raised my head and looked at the night sky, I saw several huge black shadows hovering in the dark blue night sky, although because it was at night, I couldn't see the true face of those huge black shadows, but just look at them spread their wings, the wingspan almost reached more than ten meters, when I fanned my wings in the air, I could feel the sound of the hunting wind on the carriage, and I knew how powerful these behemoths were。

Flying in the sky are the Royal Lion Eagles, and the figures standing on their backs are the Eagle Knights, who are the most elite knights of the Grimm Empire: the Royal Hichin Knights.

At this time, suddenly in the direction where the knight dressed as a coachman disappeared, several crimson fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating half of the sky and brightening up half of the sky, and the lights below the city were slightly discolored, and suddenly someone shouted in the distance: "They are over there, let's go to support!"

Several huge lion eagles hovering in the sky let out a clear cry, and turned straight into several vague black shadows, with a faint black trace, flying farther and farther away in the night.

When I stood in the carriage and saw this scene, my heart was also full of blood, and I longed to ride on the magic lever and follow them.

Suddenly, I felt a very strange sensation, and I felt the tip of my tailbone become a little numb all the way to my scalp, it was a feeling that I had not felt in a long time, it was the smell of death, and I had not smelled death so close in a long time since I left the Pai Plateau.

My magical perception was extremely clear to feel a figure wrapped in black cloth behind me, silently hanging upside down on the waterproof edge of the carriage, like a huge bat, his hands holding two recurve knives, a grim smile on his face, and a cold gaze shot at my back, making my body shudder suddenly.

I roared in my heart, I was really careless, I knew that these people from the Dark Arts Retreat were not so simple, but I didn't care too much.

The assassin hiding on the roof of the caravan behind me was the 'Dream Maker' assassin, and the incomparably condensed killing intent on his body made me cry out 'QNMDB' in my heart.

An incomparably faint shadow of a knife shot from his waist, and I didn't even have a chance to turn back to block, even if I made a brief pause in this second, the jet-black recurve knife in his hand would pierce my heart.

"Ahh Four bright lights lit up and swirled around my body, startling the 'Dream Maker' assassin for a moment, slowing down and adjusting himself to avoid the tiger's eye stone totem before rubbing myself up again, and the dagger in my hand was wiped against my neck.

I don't know how many times the assassin had practiced that kind of movement to have such a coherence, the recurve knife was like a cold poisonous snake, sticking to my neckline, and the blade was plunged directly into the gap between my collarbones, and pierced into the heart on the left side.

At this moment, my body was still in the air, and the assassin also pounced on me from behind, entangled me like a spirit snake, without any hesitation, without any nonsense, extremely determined to kill me.

Where do I dare to leave any back hands at this time, I have already felt the coolness of the recurve knife in the throat of my neck, and even some stinging sensations, I even felt the warm blood in my chest gushing out along the blood groove of the dagger, and all the purest fire magic elements in my body were injected into the Tiger's Eye Stone Drum Totem without reservation, and then, a ring of flames suddenly erupted from the Tiger's Eye Stone Drum Totem.

It was an irresistible force that erupted from the stone drum totem, and a wave of hot fire with a burnt smell rushed out around the body.

Just when the assassin thought that the knife had pierced into my collarbone in the chest, he suddenly felt a huge thrust bursting from my body, and at this moment his body was floating in mid-air, unable to use his strength at all, and under guard, his whole body was directly pushed out.

Obviously, the knife had already touched my body, but the assassin sadly noticed that at this close distance, the recurve knife in his hand was getting farther and farther away from my heart......

The Ring of Fire Defiance thrust the assassin into the air, and I slammed it to the ground, just rolling on the ground before tearing apart the Frost Nova magic scroll in my hand again.

A pale blue circle emerged from the scroll floating in front of me.

As soon as the red ring of fire disappeared, and the silver ring of ice spread out again, the assassin had just adjusted his attack form and pounced from the air like a large bird.

The Assassin regrouped and attacked me again, only to be swept away by the oncoming ring of cold ice and frozen into a lump of ice.
