The girl yawned.

The eldest ladies are not willing to train with those male recruits who are five big and three thick. Jessica discussed with her uncle and simply changed the training location directly to the Ngol Manor. The girl at first couldn't understand Jessica's enthusiasm at all: but seeing that each girl paid two gold coins for her training, she seemed to understand something.

This is probably a win-win situation, the girl thought sullenly. She didn't know how much the military would get in the end, but her guess was that Jessica would get at least half of it. A good deal, she thought.

Speaking of which, today is December 24th, the girl thought to herself. On Earth, it is the day of Christmas Eve. The calendar on the clouds is different from that of the earth, with twelve months in a year, each month is thirty days, and there is a leap month every six years.

The girl had already informed Dimi about the eldest lady's training at Engor Manor, and Dimi seemed genuinely interested. He promised the girl that as long as he had time in the future, he would go to the manor with the girl to have a look. Victor's performance was much more lukewarm, and it seemed that the teacher's death had really hit him hard. But he also promised to take a look when he had time.

[You, just look at it? Xiaowei in the world of consciousness complains.

The location is the manor's martial arts arena. Under the command of the instructors, the eldest ladies were sweating and doing squatting exercises. The girl, on the other hand, sat on the stone steps not far away with Jessica, watching the others train. The girl even supported her own "bright world" and looked like she was enjoying it.

What can I do? The girl had a "I'm desperate too" expression, [The "perfect body" makes my physical strength beyond ordinary people. All at once it will be exposed. 】

And I don't know what such training is for, the girl thought. Probably the instructors of the army want to give these pampered eldest ladies a dismount?

[At least none of them gave up.] Xiaowei said.

[It's been less than an hour," the girl said firmly, "There will be soon." Unless......]

The girl stopped suddenly.

"Footsteps?"

The "perfect body" gives the girl not only a strong physical fitness, but also a keen senses. Even though the training ground was noisy, she could still clearly hear the strange sound from a distance. She frowned slightly.

There are at least a dozen people...... The girls tried to distinguish them, they deliberately lowered their voices, but they moved very neatly...... Approaching where they are...... It's like ......

[Xiaowei. 】

[What? 】

【Us...... There may be trouble. The girl said calmly.

……

"You ......" watched a group of uninvited guests break in, and the instructor who led the team was about to scold, but at a glance he saw William Engor taking the lead.

"Master William?" The middle-aged instructor with a mustache is curious. He is a beginner secret warrior of the sea of clouds. He was originally a guard of the Engor family, but later awakened his secret ritual ability and entered the army as an instructor. Years of habit still made him call the members of the Engor family "Master" and "Young Master". ”

William did not speak.

"It's none of your business here." Leon Schmidt said.

Knife light, flashing.

The instructor's eyes widened. What's going on......?

There was no time to react at all. The instructor's head left his body. In the last moments of consciousness, he saw his bleeding body.

The instructor's head fell on the dry sand of the arena.

The ground was stained red with the blood of the instructors. The splatters of blood even splattered on the nearest girl. Until the moment of death, the instructor's eyes were still wide open, and he couldn't believe what had happened.

A woman's scream suddenly sounded on the training ground.

"Quiet!" Leon shouted, "Rebel, die!" ”

Most of them immediately stopped crying—just a whimpering sound mixed with gasps. Leon didn't bother to bother with them.

"Stand together." Among the secret soldiers, Aibo took the initiative to stand up and helped Leon take the "dirty work". A trident appeared in his hand, and there was a faint blue electric light on the blade. Seeing that the eldest ladies obediently carried out the order, he turned his eyes to the girl and Jessica in the other direction. The two of them had already stood up, their faces pale.

"Come here," Aibo said, his brown hair fluttering in the wind, "stay together." If you want to die - I can let you choose a way to die. We have ten secret weapons with different attributes here......"

"That's enough," Leon shook his head, stopping Aibo's threat, "Ladies, do as he says." I don't want to be rough with women. ”

Step by step, the girl and Jessica walked in the direction of the others. The girl still holds the "Bright World" in her hands: but at the moment everyone still thinks of it as an ordinary parasol.

"It's already been probed," said the trailing mage David Sahel, "and only these two have spell fluctuations on them. Sahel gestured to the girl and Jessica.

"Hand over the magic items you have or you'll die." Aibo raised the trident in his hand again.

Jessica gritted her teeth. She threw her bracelet on the ground.

"This is what my father gave me." She said. This bracelet comes with the three major spells of "flight", "stealth" and "shield", and is a life-saving treasure left to her by her father, Count Hahn. But there was obviously more than one Secret Warrior and Mage on the other side, and Jessica was not sure that she would be able to escape from the enemy with this means.

"Jessica Hahn......" Leon sighed, "you've grown that big, too." ”

Jessica didn't react for a while: "You are ......"

Leon ignored her. The lion-like man turned to the maiden.

"What about you?" He said, "Hand over the magical items you have." ”

The girl sighed slightly. Dressed in a dark red dress, she bowed to Leon and removed her hair accessory.

The short dark blonde hair that reached the ears instantly turned into a long bright blonde hair like a waterfall.

"It's a little toy that changes the hairstyle," said the girl politely, "do you want this?" ”

“…… You keep it. "Leon really wasn't interested in asking a girl for such a thing.

"Brother," Lisa cried, "I want to." ”

Lisa stepped forward.

"Can you lend it to me?" Lisa asked, "I'll ......"

The girl wordlessly stuffed the white petal shape into her palm.

"Is that okay?" Lisa said happily, "Thank you." ”

No one noticed. The parasol in the girl's hand is also a magic item. Ever since the secret ritual weapon "Bright World" was discovered by ordinary adventurers in the tavern, the girl and Vicky have attached an anti-magic detection spell to the parasol. In addition, Xiaowei's spells have changed the color of the "Bright World" a little compared to the legend, and it is difficult for both the top mages of the blue ocean who specialize in detection and the well-informed secret warriors to discover the truth of the "Bright World".

In the same way, Master Sahel failed to discover the necklace worn by the maiden, the ring on her finger, and the pocket of her dress...... Both hide strong magical fluctuations.

[Blue Sky level mage,] Xiao Wei quickly made a judgment, [It's exactly the same as on the wanted notice. It's Master David Sahel. The people around him...... I remember ......]

[It's a wanted secret ritual warrior,] The girl also remembered the information she had read, [The leader is the holder of the secret ritual weapon treasure knife "Sand Whisper", Leonard Schmidt of the former 'lion of the imperial capital', and the one named Aibo is also - I'm afraid all thirteen people are ......]

"If I suddenly flee with the wings of flames, and at the same time stop their attack with a firestorm, the chances of escaping are no more than fifty percent," the girl's heart was like lightning, she didn't want to be the target of everyone's fire, "maybe some of these secret warriors can restrain me." Luckily, they haven't found out who I am, so there's no need to rush it. ”

Are they behind the rebellion in the imperial capital? The girl thought to herself. Since they dare to kidnap hostages in broad daylight, they must have something to rely on. Instead of risking your flight, let's get along with the hostages and see what they're up to.

"Fortunately, I have been working hard in the past few days to be able to fight against the mastermind behind the scenes." The girl was not flustered. The strength of the "Bright World", Xiaowei's spell-casting ability, and the treasures given by the emperor...... Even in addition to these, the girl secretly prepared other hole cards.

----------------------------

The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" walks on the road of the Engor Manor. The sprawling manor is almost a small town, and the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" moves seemingly randomly, but in fact it is quick and incoherent, and does not alarm anyone.

Angel. One of the most important hostages in the plan. At the same time, she is also the key to the half-plane passage.

Angel is far more protected than the others. I'm afraid that the prime minister will install many masters by her side, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" thought secretly. The half-plane passage to the prison requires the current patriarch of the Ngor family to open. The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" originally wanted to use Margaret, but ...... There was a little "flaw" in the plan that he didn't want to see.

She committed suicide.

"Angel has to be used." "The Emperor of the Eternal Night" thought to himself. Unless a legendary mage like the Prime Minister forcibly intervenes, the Half-Plane Prison will strictly guard the family's succession order to distinguish the patriarch.

The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" walked to the door of Angel's boudoir.

It's strange, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" said in his heart. Angel had spied around him several times, and was extremely heavily guarded, even far above the old marquis of the past. But now...... He didn't feel anyone's breath. No guards, no secret masters, not even a decent protective magic—

"Not good." The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" suddenly realized something. He pushed the door straight in.

Angel, dressed in a pink dress, fell to the ground motionless, as if asleep. There wasn't a figure around her. The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" frowned and leaned down to probe her breath...... Then he confirmed.

Angel Ngor, by this time, was a lifeless corpse.

Not by yourself!

So, at this moment, in the Ngol manor, there are still others lurking?

"There are no external injuries," the "Emperor of the Night" whispered to himself, "which means ......"

The burly black-robed mage turned his head and looked behind him. There was no wind, but the door to the room didn't know when it was closed.

"I know you're there, my dear junior brother," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" said, calmly facing the void in front of him, "Show up." ”

"You know it's me?" An elegant male voice echoed through the room, and the voice seemed to come from all directions.

"The method of Palamedes City," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" sneered, "There are three Black Apostles in the Imperial Capital at the moment, besides me...... But neither Verveel nor John would do such a thing. Am I right? Levi Fedorovich, Elrios's 'Pale Moon'. ”

"Pretty." Levi said. His black-robed figure gradually emerged from the void, his face handsome and cold, and his deep gaze stared at the "Eternal Night Emperor" in front of him.

"The ...... that the teacher only accepted after I left the Floating City" and the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" sighed, "It is better than I imagined." He praised him, but his heart was full of jealousy.

"Passing the prize." Levipi said with a smile.

"You're the only one?" "The Emperor of the Eternal Night" asked tentatively.

"What do you think?" Lévy smiled cruelly, his turquoise eyes glinting, "Perhaps, I've already told them about the cause and effect?" ”

The "Emperor of the Night" stared into Lévy's eyes.

No, you don't, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" thought to himself. You and I are similar creatures. You won't reveal your plans to anyone. You don't believe anyone but yourself.

You have long seen through all the truth. But you hide everything from everyone else.

"But I have a hand," said the "Emperor of the Night," said casually, the situation still under his control, "even if Margaret and Angel are dead...... I also have a way to open that door. "After Margaret and Angel, it was William who succeeded him as Patriarch of Engor. He's also under his control—

"No, you don't have a chance." Levi said with a smile.

At that moment, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" suddenly understood something.

The Apostle of the Fourth Black, the wielder of the "Staff of Scalu", the most talented necromancer on the continent, the embodiment of fear and death.

Levi Fedorovich. The darkness he carries is no less than that of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night".

For the first time, the face of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" changed.

"You-"

"If I kill all the living creatures on this manor," Levi said gently, "you won't be able to kidnap anyone." Aren't you angry? Try to stop me, my beloved brother, the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night' of the city of Palamedes. ”

……

Meanwhile.

Although it was still far from dinner, the servants of the manor had already begun to get busy.

A maid humming a little song was busy in a corner of the kitchen. She had just been married last month, and her husband was a guard at the estate.

"Huh?"

Suddenly the maid felt sleepy. The freshly washed plate slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground and shattered.

"It's not good, I'm going to be trained."

This was also the last thought in the maid's heart. As soon as she stumbled, she fell to the ground, not moving.

All the servants in the kitchen, lying or sitting, had fallen into a deep sleep. Their skin is rapidly turning black.
