The pupils in Edward's eyes disappeared completely, and his eyes shone like a very bright starry sky. A dim point of light hovered silently behind Roland, completely obscured by the early morning sun.

This is the Starry Eye, the most common witchcraft used by astrological wizards when spying and eavesdropping. As an adult enemy of Kabbalah, after he took possession of Tanas's body, all of Tanas's abilities were naturally mastered by him.

Although the Eye of the Sky is not very mobile and has to maintain spellcasting, it is good enough to be hidden enough to hide its tracks with a little natural light.

If the caster can reach the Silver level or higher, the Starlight Eye's brightness level will drop to Shimmer. This means that all races that do not have shimmering vision cannot see it with the naked eye when there is light, and only by extinguishing all light sources in the room can they see the faint point of light.

This point of light can inherit all of Edward's perceptual attributes, and can sense objects and sounds within a certain distance of the surrounding area, and transmit them all back to the caster, the only drawback is that it cannot see the color.

In Edward's ears, Roland's deliberately lowered voice sounded very clearly: "Marquis Saya hopes that I can come here to find someone who can take care of things to explain the situation to him, and then cooperate with the Governors to arrest him." ”

“…… Did even Doyd go out? ”

"You'd better go out with me first, and stay away from here. I'm afraid this place may be cursed by cultists, using some kind of eavesdropping or surveillance magic. ”

"Whatever, you decide. I'm free...... But I think if there is anyone. He should have left just before he heard you. ”

"Probably. But that's fine, at least there will be fewer deaths. Isn't it. ”

Roland's clear voice rang in Edward's ears: "In any case, the people of Richero are innocent. If the cultists were really scared away because of my words. At the very least, it will protect the civilians of the city from accidental death as a result of the battle. ”

Naturally, Edward didn't believe him.

In his opinion, the reason why Roland wanted Arsu to leave was just because of what he said to Roland before.

But for some reason, when Edward heard this, he suddenly remembered what Roland said before he was executed, and couldn't help but be in awe of Roland.

Despite his ruthlessness and ruthlessness towards his men, Roland was a true saint in Edward's eyes—a naïve albeit a little naïve, but at least he was much more noble than the priests who were canonized by merely resembling gods.

At least he knew what he had to do, what he could sacrifice, and what he needed to destroy. Although there is still room for some things. However, in Edward's opinion, it was just because Roland was too young to think things through. But that's why Edward wants to destroy him.

But...... Marquis of Saya?

Hearing the unexpected name, Edward frowned slightly.

This man, Edward, didn't want to touch if he could.

Not only is he a member of the Sword Protector family, but his identity is rather mysterious, and according to Edward's investigation, he seems to have some relationship with Karar's military. If he provoked the military scouts, Edward really had nowhere to go in Carral.

As the only country where priests are not allowed to enter the country, this is the only place where the twilight people can preach. Edward didn't want to make Karaar wary of the Dusk Dependents, otherwise his people would be distressed.

In addition to Arsu, who is a witcher. and Roland, the priest of the Eternal Teacher......

…… No, I have to go.

Edward quickly made up his mind.

Although he does need some money, he also needs to cause some trouble for Roland. But the priority of these two things is no more important than the safety of his own life.

It's better to wait for Roland to leave, and then come back and find a way to take some of the money.

So many gold and silver coins anyway. It is difficult to transport it elsewhere without bringing in a convoy. And to take a step back, even if Roland is sure that it will not leak during transportation. There is no better place to bury treasures than Carral.

After all, this world has two magic skills: detecting metals and finding wealth. It's not safe anywhere except for Carral, who forbids the priest.

Feeling Arsu preparing for Roland to leave, Edward's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he silently withdrew from the maintenance state of the Astral Eye.

Without a moment's pause, Edward immediately used his previous arrangement. After confirming that someone outside had received his message, he immediately destroyed the runestone for practice and immediately began to prepare for the next sorcery after activating the effect of one of the trinkets on his body.

Of course, it was certainly not the Starry Sky Gate that he and Roland had said before, and Edward wouldn't need such a low-end and unstable thing if he wanted to run away. Moreover, Arsu's interference with witchcraft was not as serious as Edward had told Roland. One of the two people is on the third floor and the other is in the basement, and in such a large mansion, the distance between them is not small, and Roland may not be able to take him out to open up much distance.

In fact, Edward was going to use a large illusion, and the enchantment shrouded the entire Earl's Court. By the time he had finished his spell, Roland and Arsu had just reached the door of the Count's Palace.

Suddenly there was a sudden change.

Because of the sudden opening of the door of the Earl's Court, passers-by subconsciously cast their eyes over, and after discovering that it were two strangers, and one of them was wearing a hood, he glanced away with a little concern.

The Earl has any guests, and it has little to do with them.

"Help, help! Help! ”

But just when the existence of these two people had not completely dissipated in his mind, a terrible cry of extreme fear suddenly came from the inside of the Earl's Palace, which opened the door, and then stopped abruptly.

For a moment, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes over, the original action stopped, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Roland and Arsu were stunned for a moment, and by the time they realized what had happened, it was too late—

The next moment, the crunch of broken bones and the clatter of internal organs being chewed by something came very clearly from the door that had been opened. The faces of the passers-by around him changed immediately. They screamed and cried and ran away from the Count.

"Something's wrong! Come on! ”

Roland didn't hesitate to slam the door shut, grabbed Arsu's hand and was about to run out.

But they didn't have to run a few steps before they were stopped by the layers of armed guards outside.

"What's going on? Who are you? ”

They shouted loudly, their swords revealing their swords at their waists with wary expressions.

They wore hard leather armor with armor plates attached to them, and brown and yellow leather gloves. This is very typical of the equipment of ordinary combat units in Carral, except that all the badges on their bodies that indicate their numbers have been removed.

Roland was keenly aware that their movements were the starting style of Carral's military swordsmanship.

…… Regular? How did they end up here?

Didn't the regular army of Caral not be allowed to enter the city during non-war times? What is that Maleos guy doing?

Roland's face suddenly became very ugly.

There is no doubt that the only one who had the authority to introduce the regular army into the city was General Maleos, the Marquis of Saya.

However, looking at this menacing appearance, it was difficult for Roland to associate them with reinforcements.

Who's behind it?

Is it the Marquis of Sayya, or is it Edward? (To be continued.) )

PS: Plot Branch:

A: I still believe in Marquis Sayya...... Escape to the Marquis' Palace

B: There's something wrong with that guy at Maleos...... Flee outside the city
