Blake left Sunrise Town, but he didn't go far, and his companion was waiting in Thunderlight City, the capital of Orebol, not far from Sunrise Town.

In the Dark Rising organization, Blake was one of the first few magicians to follow the Patriarch, and he was going to meet the same senior member today, Blake was unwilling to let the other party wait too long, the other party must have come with the Patriarch's inquiry, after all, his job occupies a pivotal position in the organization's plan.

Thunderlight City, the capital city of Orebol, is the premier large city in the eastern part of San Jose. At night, Blake walked into the city's business district, turned east and west, and finally came to a small building in the city. It's a three-story building facing the street, and it's a little dilapidated. In Thunderlight City, the buildings facing the street also have a large number of Gothic white columns, and this small building, its two white columns have an old yellow surface.

A broken sign hangs on the side wall of the porch, and the text on the photograph is blurred, making it look like it was once a shop, but it is no longer open. Blake gestured to the guards behind him, who turned and disappeared into the corner of the street.

Black looked around, it was the middle of the night, most of the residents of Thunderlight City had already rested, and only a few drunkards were still fooling around in the tavern. The sheriffs and security teams of Thunder Light City were also drowsy at the sentry, and no one noticed Blake's actions.

Seeing that there was no one around, Blake reached out to the door and gestured. A blue pentagram slammed over the door, flickered and vanished, and then the door opened on its own with a creak. Without the slightest hesitation, Blake stepped inside.

Unlike the dilapidated exterior walls, the furnishings in this small building are quite luxurious. Luxurious carpets stretch from the door to the living room, lined with flowers of all kinds. Above the flowers, a small magic lamp glowing with an eerie blue light, is a magician's abode.

Black walked into the living room and found that the person he wanted to meet was already waiting for him, the same magician in a robe, with silver hair and spirits, and a staff behind his back, and at the top of the staff was the image of three crows rotating each other, which was extremely strange.

In San Jose, only a few court magicians choose to use magic weapons such as staffs, which are too cumbersome to bring and a bit dazzling. As a result, most magicians like to cast spells with their bare hands, including Blake himself. It was indeed quite strange for such a magician with a staff on his back to sit in the room.

Seeing Blake walk into the house, the other party nodded and said with a smile, "Blake, how is it, how is your experiment?"

"Patriarch's blessing, Lord Elby, Alcmene has succeeded, and before coming my assistants conducted experiments in Sunrise, a small town in the county. Sure enough, as the magic data says, Alcmine's mental impact can damage people's brains without realizing it, and in just an instant, the person who is attacked by it will become an idiot or even die. ”

The mage known as Elby nodded, "The magical data was unearthed by the Patriarch himself, of course there will be no problem, and the effect of Alcmene is exactly the same as in the record, which is also to be expected." In this case, the Divine Whale is the first to succeed, Alcmene is also successful, and Harpie fails, then, there will be Amut left. ”

When Blake heard Elby mention Harpier, he instantly thought of his lover Moss, and was instantly a little lost. However, everything was for the sake of the organization's plan, he expelled the thoughts in his mind and forced himself not to be cranky, "Yes, the manufacture of Amut has been completed, and I asked them to take Amut to Nanhai County for experiments, so that it will not be easy to attract the attention of San Jose officials." ”

"Yes, the plan is so urgent now, and although we won't be afraid of the San Jose official, the court magician is still not easy to mess with." The Patriarch promises to help us clear the way, and we need to hurry. In any case, complete the experiment of Amut as soon as possible. When the time comes, it will be an important enabler for the organization, along with Alcmene. ”

"How is the Southern Protector~Dharma and the Western Protector~Dharma now?" Blake suddenly asked.

Abel glanced at Blake, "I didn't expect you to care about them, don't worry, everything is going well." The Western Protector ~ Dharma is still recuperating for the time being, and his work has been completed. The Southern Protector was monitoring the movements of the Royal Navy in San Jose outside the 'Port of Minethir', and everything was going according to the organization's plan. And you don't have to be in a hurry, the work on your side goes according to the plan, then the plan of the organization is also according to the plan. ”

Speaking of this, Abel suddenly stood up and walked to the window, continuing to sigh in his low tone, "It won't be long before darkness will fall, and the glory of magic will be returned, and this is the result of more than a hundred years of struggle for which we have fought for generations. Whether it is the Patriarch, or me, or your four protectors~, including all the members of the organization, we are all looking forward to this day. ”

Blake hurriedly bent down and saluted, "Darkness rises, magic knows no bounds!" Abiel also turned around and saluted, "Darkness rises, magic knows no bounds!"

After talking about business, Blake was about to leave, and Abel suddenly patted his head and remembered something, "By the way, Blake, you wait, I suddenly thought of something." ”

Blake was a little confused, "What's the matter?"

"Our informant has reported that the court magicians of San Jose seem to have been investigating the matter since your last failed Harpie experiment. The Patriarch had already figured out a way to cover it up, but the other party seemed to recognize the gap. When you were experimenting with Alcmene and Amut, you tried to clean up the traces, and at this time, don't make any extraneous troubles. ”

Blake said disdainfully, "Hmph, court magicians, what do they really think of themselves." Someone is coming, I'll let them return to the magical element!"

"Don't be careless," Abel reassured, "I know that Moss's death has made you very sad, but everything is for the sake of the organization's plan, and there are not many clever people among the court magicians, so don't let it be seen as flawed." ”

Seeing that he said solemnly, Blake had no choice but to nod, "Okay, okay, I know." As soon as Amut's experiment was over, I immediately went to the south to cooperate with the actions of the Southern Protector~. Guarantee that nothing will go wrong, please rest assured that the Patriarch will be relieved. ”

When the two had finished talking, Blake walked out of the small building again, and when the door opened, he seemed to be in a trance, a trance, and the luxurious attire disappeared, replaced by mottled and broken walls and rubbish all over the floor. Not far from the corner of the alley, there was the sound of drunkards singing loudly.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can be proud. Blake snorted angrily and left the building and walked forward.

Turning the winding lanes of the city, Black came to a courtyard. This is a civilian's room, hearing his voice, several black-clothed people poked their heads out of the corner of the wall, and when they saw that it was Blake, they all breathed a sigh of relief, "Protector ~ Lord Fa!"

"Be careful, don't scream, it's still San Jose's chassis. Blake scolded under his breath.

"Oh", everyone apologized, "Lord Viscount!"

"Hmm!" Blake nodded, and led the group into the house. This is a typical oriental house, the main body of the wooden house, the door is a large rain corridor, paved with a white mat, Blake walked to the door, the men in black have left, leaving him alone. Taking a deep breath, Blake took off his boots, put on a pair of clogs next to the house, which the attendants had just prepared, and gently opened the door.

The house is quiet, no different from ordinary houses, the furnishings in the house are still kept as if they had left, cleaned up, and on the wall, an oil painting hangs there, under the light of the oil lamp. The young couple in the painting are smiling and looking out of the painting.

Blake walked into the portrait, stretched out his hand and swayed the frame, muttering "Mousse ......" Blake's voice was not loud, and after a long time in the darkness of the night, only the sound of him crying softly remained. This middle-aged man, who is always harsh in front of his entourage, reveals his true side in this dark room.

The man in the portrait is somewhat similar to him, but much younger, the woman should be Blake's lover, and this house full of simple life is their home in Thunderlight City. The furniture and belongings in the house are still the same as they were a few years ago. Over the years, Blake and Moss have been running around for the affairs of the Dark Rising, and they haven't been home for a long time. And this time, it was the first time Black had come home since Mosse died.

Looking at the scene at home, even the brutal Blake couldn't help but cry.

After a long time, the entourage around heard the sound of pushing in the house, Blake was taking off his clogs and putting on his boots, and with a "Peng" sound, Blake pulled heavily into the room, and his armpit was holding the oil painting on the wall just now.

"Lord Viscount, what are you?" asked one of the attendants, puzzled.

Blake glanced at his entourage and tightened the oil painting under his armpit, "You can find a time to sell this house, and you will get a few gold coins." We're going to go south to Nanhai County after that, and I won't be going back to Thunder Light City anytime soon, so there's no point in keeping this house, it's enough to have this portrait of Mousse. ”

Hearing Lord Black say this, everyone didn't dare to reply again, and quietly followed Blake's footsteps and left Thunderlight City, leaving only the entourage who was going to deal with the property.

The next day, in the trading market of Lei Guang City, a beautiful small building was sold, and a businessman from other places bought the small mansion for 200 gold coins. Of course, the furnishings had been completely cleaned, and when the merchant walked into the empty mansion, he would not have imagined that this was once the stronghold of the Rise of Darkness, where two terrible dark magicians once lived.

The merchants who had escaped the catastrophe happily moved into their new houses, and the Protector of the Dark~Dharma also drove in a carriage to Nanhai County, southeast of San Jose, where the curtain would be drawn in the near future.
