The time goes back two days.

A shadow was walking silently through the shadows of the buildings in the palace of the lord of Baal City.

Judging from the trajectory of this shadow, it seemed to be searching for something, and finally found something outside a room for guests in the huge City Lord's Mansion.

When it entered the room through the crack in the door, it was in this room that no one was there at this time that it changed into a black shadow in the shape of a human being.

Walking to the round table in the center of the room, looking at the beautifully decorated metal box on the table, the head, which originally only had scarlet eyes, was split into a large mouth, and the corners of the mouth on both sides were raised.

However, when the black shadow reached out and opened the metal box on the table, and found that the box did not contain the three primal order fires that he was expecting, but was empty, it opened its mouth and let out a sharp and weird roar.

In the middle of the sound, the royal knights who came with the news knocked open the door, and in the room where the eldest princess was temporarily staying in the city lord's mansion, only the metal box that was opened was left, and the black shadow had already disappeared without a trace.

………………

South of Bar City, in a box at Old John's Restaurant.

He was sitting with Vivien, looking at the female knight who was gobbling up the lady in the slightest.

At the same time, even in the face of the dishes on the table in front of him that must be very delicious in appearance and smell, but obviously care about this unfathomable female knight, Ye Qi, who is looking for what he has in mind this time, naturally has no appetite at this time.

Half a ring, waiting for the female knight to eat and drink, picked up the napkin at hand, and wiped her mouth.

Ye Qi, who was just sitting there with Vivian and drank some water, just opened his mouth and asked straight to the point: "Okay, now you can always talk about it, what is the matter with me?" ”

The female knight who didn't immediately answer Ye Qi's above question just took out a crystal ball with a faint silver light from the storage ring on her right index finger and handed it to the former.

Obviously, he could see at a glance that this was the magic crystal ball that he sold to the eldest princess that could launch magic missiles, but at this time, the magic storage crystal ball had been charged, so Ye Qi, who was emitting a faint silver light, couldn't help but hold the magic crystal ball and asked with some doubts: "What do you mean?" First of all, I have already spent a lot of the 1,200 gold Moutons you gave me before. ”

"Who's asking you for money?"

Obviously, she didn't expect Ye Qi to be a female knight who thought like this, so she opened her mouth and explained: "Your Highness has already studied the principle of the operation of this alchemy crystal ball, and when you return to the national capital, even if you want to imitate it, there will be no problem." Your Highness thinks it should be of a great help to you, so let me give it back to you. ”

The female knight who explained this casually picked up one of the toothpicks on the table from Fluttershy, and the very indecent Vivien, the girl, with a stunned expression, picked the shredded flesh between her teeth, and then stood up.

"As for this table, it should be regarded as the hard work I sent this alchemy crystal ball."

The female knight who said this was about to turn around and leave, and Ye Qi, who wanted to see off the eldest sister, looked at the former and turned around coldly when he was about to walk to the door of the box.

"Ye Qi, if you can, you should take your friends and leave Bal City quickly."

"Don't ask why, just take this as a friend's advice to you."

As the female knight left, the information revealed in the former's last two reminders only thought of one possibility, that is, the city of Baal was in trouble.

At this time, he could think of the dangers to Baal City, it seemed that only those shadow demons who were in the darkness outside the city, Ye Qi, who could be dangerous to Baal City, which was guarded by the flame of order, said to Vivian beside him: "I'm afraid that something big is going to happen in the city, or I will take your mother to the west of the city, and the night watchmen will temporarily stay for a few days." If something really happens, why don't you have a response? ”

"Hmm."

………………

And just when Ye Qi took Vivian to the east of the city, preparing to take the viscountess and other family members to the temporary residence of the night watchman in the west of the city, Mike, who was still taking two archer teams and the team he had been carrying, was stationed on the south gate of the city tower in the south gate of Bal City at this time, but at this time, he found that the darkness outside the city had been more than 20 meters away from the city wall, and it was slowly passing through the fire of order in the city, and the order barrier generated was slowly spreading!

This is undoubtedly a frightening scene, for a while, Mike, who stared at him in shock, felt the tremor on his calves, and deeply understood what this would mean, that is, after half a ring, he couldn't help but shout in a panic: "The shadow demon is here!" ”

At the same time, Old Jim, who was in the temporary station of the night watchman in the west of the city, was holding a boning knife in the dining room, chopping beef on the board, but at this time, he put down the bone cleaver in his hand and said to himself: "It's still coming at last, and I don't know where the old guys from the headquarters have arrived."

……”

However, it doesn't matter where the reinforcements sent by the Night's Watch headquarters go.

Just took the Viscountess out of the Viscountess Mansion in the east of the city, obviously he didn't expect the crisis to come so quickly, Ye Qi, who was walking through the streets full of panicked people, quickly encountered ** annoyance.

Looking ahead, the "black mist" that suddenly appeared in the middle of the street and slowly spread over.

The civilians who fell into chaos in front of them, and reflexively wanted to run, under the pull of the pitch-black arms that stretched to more than two meters in the "black fog", they cried out in despair and were pulled into the "black fog", and the next sound disappeared The terrifying scene.

During this time, I went to the caster's guild to check all the written information about the Shadow Fiend, and realized that the "black mist" that could be found in the distance was actually created by a kind of shadow demon called the "Shadow Diffuser". And the function of this black fog is for the shadow minions to temporarily exist in the range of the flame of order, and not to be dissolved by the flame of order emitted by the flame of order.

According to the introduction in those books, these "shadow spreaders" who belong to the high-end combat power of the shadow demons, Ye Qi, who has at least high-level strength in red copper, signaled to the eight entourages who were in front of the team with himself beside him to prevent the Viscountess family behind him from being squeezed down by the surging crowd in front of him: "Quickly retreat!" ”

"However, this is the closest ...... to the west of the city."

Without waiting for the attendant beside him to say anything more, a heavy arrow shot from the "black mist" directly penetrated the chests of the three people in front of him, and with crimson blood, it shot towards his face with unabated power!

"Click~"

Under a brilliant arc of light, with lightning speed, he swung his sword and slashed the heavy arrow.

I didn't expect that there were shadow shooters in the range of "Black Mist".

Ye Qi, who had already dealt with the shadow shooters a few times and understood that someone had to leave cover at this time, otherwise no one would want to run past those deadly heavy arrows, even without looking back at the mother and daughter, who were obviously startled by this arrow with terrible power, and shouted: "I'll cover, you go to the Dawn Temple first to seek refuge!" ”

Seeing this advice, a little bit of star-like brilliance appeared with the sword body, and flew over the roof of the building on the side of the street, its figure flashed a few times like lightning in his sight, that is, he stepped over the street and fell into a mess of civilians, and Ye Qi, who jumped directly towards the "black fog", finally disappeared into the black fog.

The viscountess, who was knowledgeable and knew what the star-like brilliance on the knight's sword in Ye Qi's hand represented, suppressed the shock in her heart at this time, and looked at her daughter who was looking anxious towards the direction of the "black mist", looking at her daughter who was waiting for Ye Qi's figure to appear, and said, "We are waiting for him in the Dawn Temple." ”

"Mother, we can't leave Ye Qi alone to fight these shadow demons."

Vivian, who said this, reached out and snatched a long sword from the hand of the attendant on the side, carried the corner of her skirt, and stepped on high heels to come forward to help.

And since marrying Viscount Byron, she has chosen to hide it all the time, and she wholeheartedly wants to be a noblewoman with a husband and children, but she can't hide herself, the Viscountess with the strength of the black iron class, just raised her feet and stepped forward, slapped Vivian's stamina with a knife, knocked her unconscious directly, and reached out to support the former's fallen delicate body, knowing that if she and others stayed, she would only become a burden for Ye Qi to be distracted and take care of, so she said in an unquestionable tone: "Go!" ”

In the middle of the ring, with the flow of people, the viscountess who came to the corner of this street with her family and entourage finally looked back at the "black fog" that had spread in the distance, and wanted to wish Ye Qi a safe return in her heart, but at this moment, she saw a shadow demon beheading a swordsman, and was directly knocked out of the "black fog" by a terrifying force.

Holding the heavy decapitation sword, after flying for a short distance, the Shadow Demon decapitated the swordsman, and slammed it on the ground with the sound of metal hitting the stone brick ground.

Under the flying black aura, he was never able to stand up again.

And due to the angle, the Viscountess at this time naturally couldn't find out that the heavy metal armor on the chest of this shadow demon beheading swordsman had been cut out of a terrifying sword mark!

In the black mist, for the first time, the night watchman's sword technique: Xingchen, was applied to actual combat, which can be said to be full of firepower, at this time, Ye Qi, who was covered with phosphor powder, in this short period of time, was to kill three decapitating swordsmen, two shadow shooters, and more than a dozen shadow demon warriors in a row, and finally saw the shadow diffuser in the center of the black fog.
