They're coming.

They had already discovered that they were not in the Turin family's convoy at all.

They... It's here to kill me.

In the pitch-black room, the black-haired wizard had an expressionless face, his eyes were closed, and his left hand, which was slightly raised, snapped his fingers slightly, and the silent ripples instantly dispersed.

Under the horizon, at a glance.

"Boom ————!!!!"

With a violent roar, a golden-red firelight tore through the mist that shrouded the summer twilight courtyard, and the delicate marble fountain was torn apart, and the crystal fountain evaporated in an instant.

The smoke cleared, and a skeleton as black as carbon appeared in the rubble.

Loren, who closed his eyes tightly, suddenly looked up and pursed the corners of his mouth tightly.

Only one?

The stunned speculation had just passed through his mind, and the black-haired wizard's expression changed slightly.

No, this movement... No less than twenty people, I'm afraid!

Between the corridors, the originally empty and quiet courtyard of summer twilight suddenly began to become noisy, and in the panic, the royal guards in the courtyard began to move in an orderly manner, and their uniform steps could be heard between the corridors.

Even if it's just a palace, the guards here are also the royal guards who belong to the Heavenly Dome Palace, all of them are the top elites, and in this narrow environment, if you want to break through the defense of the three hundreds, you have to find yourself... It's not an easy task.

The staircase of the hall, the balcony on the roof, the promenade on the second floor, the entrance to the rooftop...... At the moment when the explosion sounded, one shield wall after another had sealed off the entire courtyard in an instant, and the orderly royal guards had formed a shield wall and were ready to fight.

The legions, which were originally used to defend the royal family, have now become a strong shield to protect themselves;

In the bleak room, the corners of the black-haired wizard's mouth showed a slight curvature.

He hadn't expected the trap in the garden to stop the Night's Watch from assassinating, all he had to do was to alert the guards in the courtyard and get them to launch in time.

The Royal Guards were the Guards Regiment directly subordinate to the Imperial Family, and the only person who could give orders to them was the Emperor himself, the Minister of War, Severin de Salion, who was also a member of the Imperial Family.

Now the assassination has turned into a blatant ...... No matter how bold Rut Infinit was, he would not dare to let the Night's Watch slaughter the royal guards and force his way into the royal palace in front of him—if he were so stupid, he would have died without a place to die on this single charge!

So, Rutt Infinit... What would you do?

"Bell ——!"

The sound of blades colliding came, and the black-haired wizard suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils constricted... He was completely shocked by what he saw!

Thick blood gushed out, staining the handrails and sculptures of the hallway red;

a broken limb that fell into a flower bed on the balcony;

Fear was written on his cheeks in astonishment, and he flew out of the courtyard with the skull through the broken window;

The blade soaked in blood tore the shield like paper;

How, how can this be?!

The Night Watchman... The Night's Watch is slaughtering the royal guards?!

In the blink of an eye, the hall of the courtyard was full of corpses, and the night watchmen in black robes were like ghosts and gods shuttling through the pillars, corridors, balconies, and rooftops... The blade in your hand will reap a life every time!

"Stop them! Stop them, stop them!"

"My leg, my leg is broken!

"This is the Royal Palace, how dare you ......?"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, ah——!hhhh

"Ignore that bastard, get out of the way, go backwards... Ah——!h

"Array, array, reassemble the shield wall! Push them back!"

"Watch out for your back... Ah——!h

"Who are they?! Run... Ah——!h

There is no need for the high-level spell of "Spiritual Vision", just the screams one after another... It is enough to prove how tragic the scene outside the door really is.

No, it's not all... The stunned black-haired wizard gritted his teeth, it wasn't just an ordinary killer who raided the Summer Twilight Garden, it was the Night's Watch, the top assassin in the entire Sakran Empire!

If you just want to break through the defenses of the royal guards, you would have rushed in a minute ago... But at this very moment, the royal guards guarding outside were still being slaughtered.

That's right, not a raid but a massacre, a one-sided slaughter ... In front of these night watchmen who are proficient in assassination and possess the "battle spell" of "beyond perception" and "force impact", the royal guards who know nothing about them have no room to fight back!

The Night Watchman, Rut Infinit... They are killing their mouths, not to mention the royal guards, I am afraid that even the maids and servants here will not be spared.

How dare he?

This is the summer twilight courtyard, the royal palace... Even if Eckhart II could acquiesce to his actions, it would not be... Wait a minute!!

Loren, who woke up suddenly, thought of a reason, most likely, and terrifying......

The Summer Dusk Courtyard is the residence of all the nobles before they go to the Heavenly Dome Palace to meet them, from the maids to the guards... Everyone is the eyeliner of a certain nobleman or even a force, and the entire royal palace is a huge network of forces and intelligence.

His Majesty Eckhart II, maybe he'd wanted to do this for a long time... Eradicate the intelligence network that is ambushed in the courtyard of summer twilight and replace everyone!

So the person who really wants to kill himself is not Rut Infinit... It's Eckhart de Salion in the Heavenly Dome!

An icy touch spread behind Loren, stabbing his back into his mind.

It wasn't until this moment that he really saw the face of His Majesty the Emperor of the Twelfth Generation.

Royal Cabinet, House of Nobles, Brandon, Conrad...... Even himself, he is just a pawn in his hand, and it is part of his plan.

It's no accident that Gray Sal will ask for help from him and Brandon in the Summerlight Courtyard;

The little priest left Lothair and returned to the imperial capital of Golovin... There is also his figure;

In Ebolden... Whether it was the reinforcements sent or the suppression of Brandon, it was all his handiwork;

It was also his order to let Brandon and himself return to the imperial capital as heroes of Broken Mountain......

The meaning of his existence is to do his best to help the wizards of the imperial capital resist the invasion of the Holy Cross Church, so as not to break the balance between the imperial forces;

And now he has overfulfilled the task, and the result is far beyond his imagination... So he wanted to kill himself, appease the wrath of the nobility and the Holy Cross Church, and keep the wizards who won this great victory from going too berserk, after all, the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower had just taken control of Ebolden......

Even his own death... He's going to take advantage of it.

Out of the corner of the black-haired wizard's eyes, a nameless anger flashed.

Loren Turin... He had never had any ambitions, or rather never had too clear a goal - he didn't have any long-term plans other than to survive after coming into the world at the earliest.

He is not a person who has been in this world from the beginning, except for protecting the people around him and trying to live, it is really difficult to have any practical feelings about those so-called "missions" and "ideals", and he does not feel that he needs to pay anything for them.

Help Ruwen, help Corona, help Brandon... In addition to wanting to live and live well, the only way to do this is to let the people around you live well, and by the way, realize some ideals, so that you will not leave no trace in this world.

The only few accidents were also forced to "go to a dead end" by Asrael's biggest "accident".

The screams of the maids and attendants could already be heard outside the door, and the footsteps of the night watchman were approaching his room.

The expressionless Loren pulled out the "bright silver", and the gray-blue sword pierced the haze, illuminating half of the black-haired wizard's face, and the other half was still hidden in the darkness.

I'm going to live, and I'm going to live well......

"Bang ——!"

There was a violent crash, and the last line of defense outside the corridor was torn to shreds, and the guards were slaughtered.

The sword swung and hung down at his feet, and two gray-blue lines appeared under the corners of Loren's eyes.

A higher-order spell, "Beyond Perception".

There was no sound outside the door, but there were no less than ten figures in the shadows, already ambushed at all the exits of the room.

The pitch-black pupils stared at the door as if they were facing a great enemy.

If you want to kill me, just give it a try... But I won't die obediently as you think;

You...... There is a price to pay——!
