Angelo lay on the wine table, his head half-buried in his elbows, his eyes closed, and the whole person exuded a burst of wine from beginning to end, as if he had soaked in the wine vat for three days and three nights and then fished it out and dried. The bartender, who was sitting at the counter wiping the table, could assure that there was not the slightest hint of moisture in the smell, and that the young man had been drunk here for five days.

'Two Old Casks' is a humble tavern on Sixth Avenue, opened by a former battle mage who served the Fernandez family after retiring, and has a wide range of contacts, business has always been good, and most of the people who come and go are mages, and many students of the Arcane Academy also use this place as a place to meet and relax. Students like this can always see so few, whether it is love or academics, these young people are always prone to fall into an inexplicable low ebb, and they have to rely on alcohol or some kind of potion to forget their troubles, but fortunately, young people who can enter the Arcane Academy generally do not have too many shortages of gold coins, so the bartender is not worried that he will not be able to pay the bill, and let him lie alone in that corner.

"Hey, little Roy, why are you here? Didn't you take the semester quiz tonight?" finally noticed him by two young men who had just entered the door, and these two also had the badge of the Arcane Academy on their chests, and they were obviously also students of the Academy. The two students stepped forward and nudged him and patted him again, only to make him squirm a few times and mumble a few words.

The bartender just raised his eyelids at the counter and said, "He's been here for five days, and he goes upstairs to sleep except for drinking and eating, and if you want to take him away, settle the account for him, a total of one hundred and ten gold coins?"

"One hundred and ten gold coins, damn it, how much did he drink?" one student screamed, and the other searched Angelo's body, only to find a dozen gold coins, and could only take out a small crystalline gem from his pocket and hand it to the bartender. "Bring me another bottle of sobering potion. ”

The bartender took the gem and placed it on the counter and played with it a few times, looked at the data on the array, and grinned and showed two rows of yellow teeth: "This low-grade crystal is only worth one hundred and forty ojin, and the decanting potion costs ninety ojin a bottle." You'll have to make up for me another fifty. Also, he drank a lot of Blue Charm Ice Wine, and he needed at least two bottles of decanting potions. ”

"Are you blackmailing? Then we might as well go back to school and deserve ourselves. Find me gold!" The student angrily demanded thirty Ogin back, turned around and left with Angelo with his companions.

It was just a very ordinary scene, and the guests in the tavern didn't pay attention to it after a few glances, and even the bartender didn't bother to pay attention to the young man's anger, rolled his eyes and went on with his own business. It's a public place in the inner city, under the watchful eye of the Arcane Academy, and no one dares to do anything here.

After leaving the tavern, the two students carried Angelo for a while, and a float with the house marker floated past them and stopped in front, and the two students beckoned to carry Angelo into the float together, and then the float sped towards the Arcane Academy. A few minutes later, however, the float car landed next to a single-family villa at the college, and the two students dragged their still drunk classmates inside.

What happened was a normal scene in the life of the academy from any point of view. Even in that villa, the two students were busy preparing the sobering potion, and the young man they helped in was lying on the bed on the other side of the bed and fell asleep, the strong smell of alcohol still making people dizzy. But if one of them walked over and looked closely at the young man's face lying underneath, he could see that it was not Angelo, who had drunk to death in the tavern before, but another young man who was very close to him.

At this moment, the real Angelo was lying in a small sealed cabinet, moving rapidly at a depth of 100 meters under the Oroyosta. Just as the floating car passed through an alley that passed by the Anthony family's mansion, and it happened to be obscured by the Anthony family's protective circle in less than two seconds, he was replaced from the inside, and then loaded into this long-prepared container, and sank silently into the ground.

It all happened so quickly that there was no trace of it, and not even the two students who had lifted him out of the tavern noticed anything wrong. In fact, in their memory, they only found the classmate named Roy in the tavern, and the young man who fell asleep was indeed named Roy, indeed their classmate.

Except for Angelo, who is moving rapidly underground, everything that appears on the surface is so natural and peaceful, seamless.

It wasn't until a hundred miles away from Oroyosta that the sealed cabinet containing Angelo surfaced.

Of course, a simple cabinet would not move hundreds of miles deep underground, and a man in his forties floated at the same time.

Being able to sneak so far deep underground with a large object is undoubtedly a high-level mage. The mage patted the dirt on his body, looked at the figure that had been waiting here not far away, was slightly stunned, and immediately smiled: "Yo, His Excellency the Baron of Labor actually came to ask, it seems that this action is not simple." ”

"Less nonsense, hurry up and determine the state of the target. ”

Not far away, under a rock, Baron Moria, the little of the Southern Legion, was standing in an anti-reconnaissance arcane circle, his fat face was gloomy and serious, completely different from the smile on his face when facing the Legion Commander, as if it were another person who had nothing to do with it. Behind him stood two tall men in robes with expressionless faces, which made him a little more oppressive when he was originally a little funny. And it seems that because of the arcane circle, the surrounding scenery is immersed in a strange dimness.

The mage here opened the sealed cabinet, and the smell of smoky wine immediately came out, and Angelo inside was still sleeping soundly, looking the same as when he was in the tavern.

"Have you checked his condition, are there any traps like sequencing?" asked Baron Moria, Jr., in a deep voice.

"Of course. I tried it when I was in the tavern, and I had a drink with this kid. I even used my college connections to investigate, but I didn't find anything wrong with this little guy. The mage shrugged, looking a little casual. "In addition to being physically stronger and in a better mental state, this is an ordinary little guy, and the arcane level may have a second ring. Just to get such a kid out, you wasted the secret path that I spent years to figure out, and you have a good chance of exposing the secret that you planted in Anthony's house, is it worth it?"

"That's not something you should worry about. Little Baron Moria said coldly.

"Of course, I'm sorry. All I'm worried about is pay. The mage rubbed his hands together with a smirk.

Little Baron Moria's head tilted, and a tall man standing behind him stepped up and handed over a pocket. The mage took the pocket and opened it to look at it, a detective arcane flashed in his eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I hope there will be more cooperation in the future, I can guarantee it"

With a bang, the pocket in the mage's hand suddenly exploded, and a burst of colorful light and chaotic elemental fluctuations exploded into a brilliant firework, and the mage let out a terrified scream.

A mere explosion certainly couldn't hurt the mage. To be able to work as a traitor in the inner city of Oroyosta, it takes more than just guts, this kind of high-level mage who is proficient in actual combat has multiple triggering arcane arts at any time, and the standing protective arcane when acting outside is also not less, and it is almost impossible to hurt them in ordinary emergencies.

But when there was still a seven-ring arcane 'Chaos Net' hidden in this explosion, the situation was completely different. In fact, this targeted law arcane is the core of this explosion, and the local magic net disturbance caused by the moment not only makes all the arcane under the seven rings temporarily suppressed, but also makes all the non-regular arcane completely collapse, and the trigger and protective arcane on the mage did not play the slightest role, and the skin and flesh that came into contact with it were directly burned to shreds by the elemental fluctuations that erupted.

"Ah~~!, how do you~~?how could you~~?" the mage rolled on the ground with his charred head and face in his arms, and his voice was full of fear, not just because of the severe pain, but more because of fear and disbelief, he knew very well what such a trap represented, but he could never understand why the other party did it.

But no one gave him an answer, and the man behind Baron Moria's back threw out a hand axe made of ice condensed, which was deeply embedded in the mage's brain, and completely ended his miserable howl. After making sure that he was dead, the man first used the necromancy arcane to clear the possibility of the spirit remaining, then used a sonic concussion arcane to shatter the mage's corpse along with all his belongings, and finally burned all traces to black ash with flames. In just a few minutes, the mage who had quietly brought Angelo out of Oroyusta had completely disappeared from this world.

Seeing that all this was done, a smile finally appeared on the gloomy fat face of the little Baron Moria.

"Is it really necessary to kill him? It takes a lot of energy and cost to develop the teaching assistant of this academy into our periphery. His identity and abilities are of great value to us. ”

A hoarse female voice rang out from the surrounding darkness, seemingly dissatisfied with what had just happened. Little Baron Moriah smiled coldly, and said with a little disdain: "That's why I killed him in advance." If even he feels that he is no longer useful, then we will not be able to kill him anymore. Instead, he would become a potential threat. ”

The female voice in the dim silence for a moment, then said, "I mean, this kid is not worth the cost of us to capture. The information in the minds of his two companions doesn't seem to be of much help to us so far. ”

"It's not up to you to judge whether it's worth it or not. Little Baron Moria's face showed a little impatience and arrogance. But after a pause, as if he had thought of something, he turned to the empty dim and said. "There is no 'big help', but there is a certain 'help'. Judging from the first two tests, this target memory is more valuable, and it may be of great help to the 'Gods' project. ”

Saying this, he showed a very strange expression on his face, as if he had discovered some kind of incredible logic: "This plan should mean more to you, shouldn't it?

"I'm just a little worried about the situation. The female voice in the dim was lazy, as if she really had no interest in it. "After all, this little guy doesn't seem to have any family power, but the few behind him are not easy to mess with. Especially since our last operation has already made them wary, and I even have reason to suspect it"

"I doubt they'll use this little creature to seduce us, right? Maybe there used to be, but now that the revival starlight wreckage is about to return, they don't have time to care. The baron smiled coldly. "In the past few days, Duke Inclere and Chairman Magnus have invited those Westerners to conduct arcane experiments together and discuss countermeasures, presumably to prepare for the return of that one. ”

"Arcane experiments? What are them?"

"I don't know yet. The baron's answer was inevitably a little gloomy, for there was not much they did not know in Oroyosta. "The experiment was held in the Morning Light Mage Tower, and the data was not disseminated, so it seems that Magnus wanted to keep it absolutely secret. Duke Incre couldn't hear from there. ”

"So, now is the great opportunity that Ms. Jefferson of the Revival Society has created for us. While they have taken away our attention, we can be free to accomplish some important projects. Of course, prudence is still very necessary, so I will personally supervise the implementation, not hesitating to sacrifice this still valuable peripheral personnel, and not hesitating to expose some of the chess pieces and arrangements in Oroyosta, all to ensure that the slightest flaw is not revealed. Both the academy and the Inclave side have enough sources to ensure that I will be alerted to any changes from those people. Then use peripheral personnel who have nothing to do with us to carry it out, and finally cut off all clues here, and we can ensure that the plan is foolproof. ”

"Be bold! Be cautious! Like a rattle-tailed poisonous lizard under the rocks of the desert, use all your strength when it is time to attack! Don't hesitate to give up when you should cut off your tail! This is the attitude you should have as a person in the shadows! Do you understand, Lady Nightshadow? Your practical skills may be impeccable, but I think you still need to hone in these spiritual aspects. Otherwise, I really doubt that your help to the Legion will be positive or negative!"

The female voice in the darkness fell completely silent, as if speechless, and little Baron Moria, who had just been foaming at the mouth like a one-man show, smiled with satisfaction. He is actually extremely dissatisfied with this nominal subordinate, and it is just a matter of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, many times he is willful and reckless, and completely lacks the basic qualities that a shadow walker should have, but because of some higher-level reasons, he can only pinch his nose and endure it all the time, and taking this opportunity to reprimand him can be regarded as a bad breath in his heart.

Turning around, the baron pointed to the cabinet on the other side of the two men behind him, and said, "Now send the target back to the legion first, and at the same time contact Derek Division immediately, and say that the new materials have arrived."

At this point, the baron's words suddenly stopped, and the whole person remained motionless as if he had been caught in the immobilization arcane, only two eyeballs widened and widened.

Not only him, but the two men behind him also froze in place. These professionals who have been trained to see blood and darkness, and kill like chopping vegetables, are also sluggish. Because the big-faced young man who was drunk in the wooden cabinet before had already sat up now.

It could be seen that the young man's wine had not fully woken up, his face was still flushed, and his body was still swaying slightly, but the hostility and anger in his eyes seemed to be more smoky than the smell of his wine.

"Hehe, it seems that Your Excellency Baron, your practical ability needs to be improved. A long female voice came from the darkness.

"This" Little Baron Moriah was stunned for a few seconds, and then he became furious. "That guy doesn't even use basic control arcane arts? damn it! This kind of careless trash, I really don't know how he became a high-level arcanist!"

Fortunately, in addition to making him feel embarrassed by this sudden accident, the actual situation is not out of control. This is just an arcane apprentice, and when he is out of the surveillance range of Oroyosta, and under the cover of the law of night, it is no more difficult to deal with than a freshly hatched chicken. The baron waved his hand casually, and one of his men used a four-ring arcane that forced him to sleep.

But this arcane did not have any effect, the spiritual impact of the magic net should have really hit the boy, but the boy did not fall asleep, on the contrary, the drunkenness on the face of the big cake was rapidly decreasing, and soon he jumped up vigorously, his eyes and expression were unusually firm, except that the smell of wine on his body was still so strong, the whole person was sober like a hard walnut that had just been washed with ice water.

"Huh?" said little Baron Moria, who smelled something was not quite right. He hurriedly took a few steps back and looked around vigilantly, but there didn't seem to be any unexpected enemies, and the surroundings were still shrouded in darkness.

As for his two subordinates, there was no concern, in their opinion, it should be just an accident, and the failure of the arcane could be some kind of spiritual protection that the mage had used before, or it could be some defensive arcane on the cabinet container. The two of them were stunned for a short time and then immediately flew up and pounced, intending to use the most primitive and direct method to make the target unconscious.

In the face of the two tall men rushing towards him, Angelo did not panic in the slightest, he raised his hands and waited for the two men to come forward and grab his shoulders, but when the two men raised their hands and slammed them on the back of his neck, his hands pressed on the two men's bodies first.

There were two muffled sounds, as if two large drums were being beaten in the bodies of the two men, their movements suddenly stopped, their eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, and then the whole person fell down softly like a hollowed cloth pocket, and the red blood kept gushing out from their mouths and noses, and there were many small pieces of internal organs mixed with them, and they actually died directly.

"What?" said the baron, so startled that he almost fell to the ground. can be brought by him as a personal guard, these two are definitely the elite combat mages in the legion, not to mention the reactions and tactical movements tempered to the extreme, and there are also instantaneous arcane props on their bodies to deal with various unexpected situations, but they were lightly slapped on the body by this big-faced young man, and they were immediately killed without the ability to resist. It's even more incredible than a chick that has just come out of its shell devouring two poisonous snakes.

"Is it an illusion, who the hell is this boy?" the baron screamed and stepped back. The only possibility he could think of now was that the big-faced boy in front of him was actually another ruthless character who was pretending to be with illusion.

"It's not an illusion fun," the hoarse female voice became low and solemn, and with it, the surrounding light became dimmer and dimmer.

"It's you who killed my brother and killed my two classmates" Although the two of them were killed, the murderous aura and anger on Angelo's face did not diminish in the slightest, looking at the panicked little Baron Moria, the bloodshot in his eyes almost flew out to kill. "I've been waiting for a long time, I've been waiting for you to come, I know you're going to come and get me"

"Catch him, catch him!" said little Baron Moria, frightened. Although he actually has some combat effectiveness, he only feels a pang in his heart in the face of this strange boy.

The surrounding darkness suddenly became thicker, as if it had turned directly from dusk to midnight, but the scope of this darkness was only confined to Angelo's side, as if the surrounding darkness had been condensed, turning into a black curtain with life and shrouded him in the middle.

Trapped in it, Angelo began to struggle, this darkness not only obscured his vision, but also began to be unable to hear, even breathing, but no matter how hard he tried, how he used arcane arts, and the Western power that he had just learned, this darkness was hanging around him, but it was getting thicker and thicker.

In the sight of little Baron Moria, not far away, he could see that the figure of the big-faced boy had completely fallen into a surging darkness, and although he was still struggling, he looked like a mouse in a cowhide bag, and he could not even make a sound except for stirring up some futile shapes.

Fortunately, I also brought this woman, and this woman's ability is really useful. The baron was apprehensive, and a little reluctant to admit it.

"Nine Heavens Starry!" a baron's incomprehensible cry suddenly pierced the darkness, and at the same time, bursts of flickering starlight flickered in the darkness, which was a black hole that seemed to swallow everything, but now it looked as if it had become a real night sky.

A terrible and hoarse scream came from the night sky, and the surging darkness suddenly shrank and left Angelo's side, faintly solidifying into the form of a woman, and then the dark woman rushed over and wrapped the little Baron Moria, and went away with great speed.

Angelo was half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for air, and the meridians of his body ached like a knife. What he used just now was the killer weapon that Liu Xuanying gave him, although it was extremely powerful, it was actually far beyond the limit that he could bear.

Pushing himself to his feet, Angelo looked around, but both the dark shadow and the fat man had long since disappeared, leaving only an empty wilderness around him.
