The elite forces of the Phoenix family and the Temple of Dawn have left the Red Maple Manor. Ji'er watched Gordon until the mage's back completely disappeared into the darkness, and then she returned to the room in a daze.

Although the city is shrouded in darkness and full of vicious necromancers, Ji'er does not fear for her safety. There are still twenty elite Phoenix warriors and more than a hundred other noble private troops in the Red Maple Manor to defend, and the manpower is sufficient. In addition, the manor is not a military fortress-type settlement, but it is also equipped with many defensive equipment and magic traps to defend against enemy attacks - if there is indeed an invasion of the unsightly.

The only thing this eldest lady worries about is the safety of her relatives and friends.

She was talking to herself as she paced anxiously back and forth in the living room.

"My father has been secretly sent to the central province to recuperate, don't worry......"

"Aunt Veronka is commanding the fleet at sea. I reckon that the Northumbards are just bluffing, not trying to go to war with us Ferreton, but for another purpose. So she's safe too......"

"Uncle Savi is a Nine-Ring Archmage, and his strength is strong, even if the city of Freiris is completely destroyed, he will probably be able to survive......"

"It's that villain, who likes to be reckless at a young age, and said that he stayed in Freiris City to fight the cult because of me...... Is...... It's really unsettling......" Gordon's appearance appeared in her mind, and she was worried and apprehensive in her heart, but when she thought of the other party's always calm and confident, as if the world was collapsing and holding a qiē in her hand, there was a trace of sweetness in her heart.

Although there is confidence in Gordon. But this time, the crisis facing Fleiris City is too big. Ji'er didn't know what was going to happen next. In what direction it will develop. Not just the city, but the fate of the Phoenix family. It also unsettled her.

Cousin Anna was seriously injured on the Requiem Day and is still bedridden, and I don't know the extent of her injuries. And cousin Raymond died a very strange death a few days ago. Although Ji'er doesn't like this cousin, she knows that he covets the inheritance of herself and the entire Phoenix family. But after all, they are all peers with family blood in their bodies, and they also got along well when they were children, so she also felt a little sad about her cousin's death.

Moreover, after Lemon's cousin died, Ji'er was in the process of going to mourn. He was also keenly aware that a large number of capable elite subordinates were missing under his command. This made Ji'er's heart even more suspicious.

It's a pity that the traitors in the Phoenix family who colluded with the Death One Zhi Sect were too deeply hidden and cunning, so that until the Huiyang Festival, she was not able to purge the pests within the family.

"I'm still too young after all, if it were my father, I would definitely have found out the cultists inside and united all the Phoenix family members......" A sense of frustration welled up in her heart, making Ji'er feel powerless.

If only Gordon had been there for me...... The black-haired and black-eyed mage's face resurfaced in her mind, and Ji'er involuntarily picked up the dragon necklace that Gordon had given her around her neck. Hold it in your hand.

When her skin touched the delicate feel of the white gold material, Ji'er suddenly felt relieved. She breathed a long sigh of relief, cheered up, and prepared to inspect the Red Maple Manor. Make sure that all defensive measures are in place and that nothing goes wrong.

"Well, let's go to Maple Grove first. Patrol from south to north. Let's take a look at Miss Venia at last......" Having made up her mind, Ji'er walked out of the living room. His face changed suddenly.

The entire Red Maple Manor was so quiet that it revealed a hint of weirdness. There was no sound at all.

She has been by Gordon's side for a long time, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, Ji'er also has a high vigilance against all kinds of abnormal situations. Her muscles tensed, her sword pulled out and held it in her hand, and the armor on her body glowed with various magical auraes, blessing her with many protective and positive spell effects.

At this time, a mysterious person wearing a brass mask and a long robe walked out of the darkness in the distance step by step and appeared in front of Ji'er's eyes.

"Who are you? How did you get into Red Maple Manor? ”

"Hehe, Ji'er, it's been like this, and you're still as naïve as ever." The Masked Man said.

Listening to his tone, he seemed to be very familiar with the eldest lady of the Phoenix family, but Ji'er couldn't tell his identity from the other party's unfamiliar voice.

The masked man raised his hand and gently waved the sword in his hand, which was made of pure divine power. The blood dripping from the knife was immediately sprinkled on the ground. Seeing this scene, Ji'er's heart sank, knowing that the guards of the manor might have encountered an accident. Being able to quietly deal with the guard power of Red Maple Manor, and break all the magic traps, and come to the mansion, this masked man is definitely not simple.

Seeing that Ji Er was still puzzled, the masked man smiled: "Oh, by the way, this mask has a constant effect of the voice change spell, no wonder you can't recognize me." ”

The masked man calmly took off the props he used to hide his identity and revealed the real mask in front of Ji'er.

"Cousin Anna?!" Ji'er cried out in a lost voice.

"Are you so surprised by the fact that I am a traitor lurking in the Phoenix family in collusion with the cult, my sweet cousin?" Anna smirked, seemingly enjoying her pretty cousin's astonishment.

"Didn't you get stabbed and badly wounded on Requiem Day?"

"It's just a simple play. A weak woman who was injured by a cultist and had to recuperate behind closed doors, isn't this identity the best cover? No one will suspect that I am colluding with the cult, let alone know, that I am actually one of the sons of the gods who have obtained the divine power of the three dark gods. Anna, who thought she had a chance of winning, said to Ji'er slowly, "Uncle who was seriously injured by my subordinates, the great head of our Phoenix family, has not been able to identify my identity. I traveled all over the main material realm, and not only Uncle Langdon, who was also the Archmage of the Nine Rings, was also unable to identify my identity. Not to mention Raymond's idiot. So cousin, it's not something to be upset that you've been deceived by me. ”

The murderer who stabbed his father to a serious injury was in front of him, and Ji'er forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, so she didn't have the urge to swing her sword and cut it over. She asked word by word, "Why?" As a member of the Phoenix family, you want to betray us, betray Lord Bahamut, and be in the company of the cult? ”

"Why?" Anna seemed to be irritated by this question, and her expression suddenly became hideous, "I want to ask why!" Why can you, an innocent and stupid little girl, be favored by the whole family? Why do you have a face that even the goddess Anissa is jealous of? Why is it that with the same surname Phoenix, I can only be a supporting character forever, living in the shadow of you spoiled little girl? ”

"That's all because of that?" Ji'er shook her head.

"You can't understand my feelings, and I don't need you to understand." Anna sneered, "Because I got the magic power of Melecht by chance, and I have a power far superior to you. So, the world is fair, isn't it? ”

After speaking, Anna raised the divine power sword in her hand and pointed it directly at Ji'er.

The atmosphere suddenly tightened, and the battle was about to break out.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. On one side is the Son of God who has mastered divine powers, and on the other side is the Knight of Mysteries who has made remarkable progress but is still half-witted. The battle has not even begun, it is already over.

Anna's divine power sword suddenly disintegrated, turning into dark yellow ribbons of energy, scattering in all directions, and attacking Ji'er at a speed that was unattainable to the naked eye.

Before the eldest lady of the Phoenix family could react, she used the dragon steel sword "Northern Memory" in her hand to launch a counterattack, and the whole person was tied up by Anna's divine power, and she couldn't move.

"Let go of me, Anna, let go of me!"

"Don't struggle uselessly, my beautiful little phoenix. You are the most precious chip in my hand. I will trade you for a ladder to the throne of God. Anna tapped her forehead on her forehead, and the hypnotic effect took effect immediately, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.

"Good." The corners of Anna's lips curled up triumphantly, "Next, it's a matter of finding a comfortable place, waiting for this battle to end, and then using my lovely cousin to exchange the Demon Heart from Gordon." That young mage will be my best thug to defeat that bastard of Alain. Stinky men fight each other, bleeding and sweating, and a smart woman like me sits back and enjoys it. That's the way the world should be......"

Although and Alain. Telver is also the god son of the Dark Trio, but Anna is not optimistic about Alain, who is making a big battle in Flaires City today. That night, Anna pretended to join forces with Alain to ambush Zakaria, but failed to achieve her goal of snatching the Demon Heart. Eventually, the Demon Heart was split in two and was obtained separately by the other two Divine Sons. Anna remorseled at the result. But among the three gods, her strength is the weakest, and after turning her face with Alain, she can only evacuate immediately, not daring to have too much reverie about the demon's heart.

The next day, however, she heard the news that Zakaria had been killed by Gordon.

"That mage from the Haiwen Peninsula actually has such a strong strength to be able to kill that dark elf?" When Anna heard the news, she was shocked, but she became excited.

Because although Zakaria died, the half of the demon heart he held was missing, and it was not obtained by the city guards. So Anna had reason to believe that the half of the demonic heart was obtained by Gordon.

Mages, they are all people who are not strong in faith and can abandon a qiē morality in order to pursue power.

Thinking that her guess was perfect, Anna secretly planned to use Gordon to get her hands on the two separate halves of the demonic heart. (To be continued......)
