Gordon and this Savi. Mr. Langdon has some connections, but it doesn't explain why he recommended himself, an unmasked stranger, to Ambrom to solve the Phoenix family's crisis.

Faced with Gordon's inquiring gaze, Savi. Langdon put away his lazy and profligate expression, and suddenly sat up straight. He smiled mysteriously at Gordon, then gestured.

No one may have seen the clue, but Gordon recognized it at once, and the gesture was a symbol of the scroll of insight and curiosity, the god of knowledge, Ion. Since there are not many followers of the God of Knowledge in the main material realm, and he is not enthusiastic about various rituals and preaching rituals, not many people recognize this gesture.

Although Gordon is not a devout believer, he has done some research on the gods he believes in, and he has done some research, so he can see it at a glance.

Savi. Langdon's gesture shows that he is also a follower of Ion, and that is why he strongly recommends Gordon to Ambrom.

But it's certainly not going to be that simple. Although this mage doesn't seem to be very reliable, since he can gain the absolute trust of the Phoenix family master, and he is also Ji'er's teacher, then he is definitely not a stupid person. Savi. Langdon can't pin the survival of the entire Phoenix family on Gordon just because he has the same beliefs, there must be a deeper reason for this.

So, what happened please, it will make this Mr. Mage identify Gordon at once, thinking that as long as he is out. Will the dilemma faced by the entire Phoenix family be solved?

"No more speculation, Mr. Freeman." Savi. Langdon suddenly spoke, "It's the One who names all things. You are assigned to resolve the Phoenix family's dilemma. I, a believer, am simply following the instructions of my Lord. ”

Ionn himself personally delivered the message and asked Savi. Langdon invited me to help the Phoenix family?

If this is true, it would be a bit too absurd. And if it's a lie, who would deceive people with such an unwarranted lie?

Well, looking back at the past, Ion has twice descended to the main physical realm. Meet with me. This kind of privilege is not something that any believer can enjoy. Since the God of Knowledge thinks so highly of me, it was at a time when the Phoenix family was facing a crisis. It's not too surprising that I thought I would solve it.

As for why he believed he was really capable of solving this tricky matter, it was another matter......

Gordon thought about it for a while, and was finally relieved.

Melidia, the goddess of dawn, gave her own will. Let Renus come to Flaires City. Investigate the affairs of the Death One Zhi Sect. And Ion, the god of knowledge, also personally conveyed the will to involve Gordon in the crisis facing the Phoenix family. And this series of things is related to the cult under the banner of the ancient god of darkness, Joah. And among the Death One Zhi Sect, it is very likely that they are involved in the forces of the Dark Three Gods and various demons......

Gordon found himself facing a situation that was more complex than ever, a mess of paste, and he couldn't figure it out......

After the meeting with the leader of the Phoenix family, Gordon said goodbye to everyone. It was already noon. Miss Ji'er, who was suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility, still had a lot of things to hand over, so she and Gordon didn't even say a word. was taken away by Ms. Veronka. Ambrom, the head of the family, who was seriously injured, returned to Phoenix Fort to recuperate, accompanied by Savi. Gordon was left with only a butler named Justinos to serve.

The trained servant, apparently unaware that the Phoenix family, which he was so proud of, was in danger of being in a strict situation, and said to Gordon with grace and courtesy, and with a bit of superiority and pride: "Mr. Count, lunch is ready, and you and your family can eat at any time. After being adrift at sea for so long, you must miss the real food on land, right? Bahamut bless! I know how bad those things are on the sea, they are just fodder for the animals, and they don't even deserve the word 'food'. ”

Gordon knew that in an aristocratic family with no shortage of history, glory, and power like the Phoenix family, servants would always have some sense of superiority. So he didn't bother with this Mr. Justinus. When he arrives at the restaurant, he releases Ainia and enjoys a hearty lunch with his sister and fiancée.

Although Gordon's love was a little anxious because of the mess of the Death One Zhi Sect and other messy things, the meal was still quite pleasant. During the dinner, everyone's conversation focused on Gordon and Venia. Sheona was particularly interested in her brother's marriage.

"Brother, when I left the Hyven Peninsula, you had a good relationship with Miss Vigna, but it was only a friend. What caused the two of you to suddenly get closer to each other, and I was shocked by the lightning engagement. ”

"Well......" Gordon felt that in order to explain his relationship with Venia, it seemed that he had to carefully consider the wording.

However, Venia took the initiative to help her fiancé share this problem. Miss Druid put down the goblet with the sweet wine, smiled, and glanced at Gordon with affection before saying, "The reason why I fell in love with Gordon and decided to entrust him with the rest of my life is because of ......."

Then, Miss Venia tells the story of a weak woman who is kidnapped by an evil mage because she holds a tribal treasure, and the brave Earl Freeman, in order to save people, resolutely goes deep into the desperate situation of the Wesula Mountains, defying all difficulties, and finally defeats the evil mage and saves the beauty.

In the end, of course, it was the beauty who fell in love with Lord Freeman and married him, and lived happily ever after.

Although what Vinia said was a little different from the truth, it was not a big deal. And Xie Ona also accepted Vigna's statement, but the fact that her brother suddenly had a fiancée still made her feel a little unaccustomed.

After lunch. Viati and Xie Ona went shopping in the afternoon in the city of Fryris. Gordon knew that Venia wanted to get on good terms with Sheona. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to spend a pleasant and relaxing afternoon with his sister and fiancée, so he had to sort out the mess in his mind and solve the problem of the Death One Zhi Sect.

Even if he doesn't care about his friendship with Miss Ji'er. From the point of view of pure profit alone, the Phoenix family, which is the object of the Freeman family's cooperation, has experienced great turmoil, and it is definitely not a good thing. And if the city of Fryjus was really destroyed by the conspiracy of the Death One Zhi Sect, it would also be terrible news for the entire Hyven Peninsula.

The prosperous province of Changxia is an important guarantee for the smooth development of the Haiwen Peninsula. Gordon didn't want his neighbors to be in chaos all day long.

There are so many things in my mind these days, and it's not easy to find a suitable starting point. Gordon thought about it for a while. In the end, it was decided to target Ben. Bishop Anissa.

During the day, the Bishop would preside over the Temple of Dawn in the city of Freiris until the last rays of the evening sun faded into the horizon. He would not return home until he had finished the evening prayers. Dress yourself up as a saint Ben. Bishop Anissa could not have violated the rules of the Church of the Dawn.

So during this time, the bishop was in his modest residence outside the city. It's an excellent breakthrough.

Although in this case. Anissa's strict habits. Gordon may not be able to find anything worthwhile, but it is better than sitting on a manor.

After some preparations, Gordon left the Red Maple Manor.

The city of Freiris is a well-known port city in Changxia Province, with a thriving trade and a large flow of people, and just by observing the appearance of the pedestrians on the street and the various goods sold on the street stalls, you can intuitively appreciate the prosperity of the city.

Compare the city of clear water to it. There is no small gap.

Such a city, even in the eyes of those nobles of the Black Dragon Empire Northumbard. It is also a target of great strategic value that needs to be captured and protected with all efforts. I'm afraid that only the cultists, who are completely insane and have no idea other than to cause chaos and terror, will want to destroy the city.

Gordon shuttled through the bustling streets, but there was a sense of alienation in his heart that was out of place with his surroundings. As the source energy tides become more frequent, I'm afraid that Asaph. The time point of the great upheaval in Augustus's mouth is also getting closer and closer. The gods and demons who are aware of this change, as well as other beings who stand at the top of this multiverse, will also make more and more noise.

How long can this peaceful and prosperous life around us last?

Gordon sighed and quickened his pace.

According to the information provided by Renus in the morning, he quickly left the city of Freiris and headed for the outskirts of the city.

Root. The hut built by Bishop Anissa himself is located near the Forest of the Dead outside the city of Flaires. The forest is said to have been the site of a great battle at the end of the Third Age, where tens of thousands of bones were buried. It is also for this reason that the Forest of the Dead is rich in negative energy, and there are some precious plants that can only be nurtured in this special environment, which is a treasure land for medicine pickers.

However, the herb pickers generally do not dare to go deep into the forest, because in this dense forest, from time to time, there will be deep whispers of the dead as if they have traveled through time and space, like a magic spell, which can confuse the minds of the living. Hence the name of the forest.

At the beginning of this. Anissa chose to live on the edge of the forest, according to himself, in the hope that the light of the goddess of dawn would purify the place and protect hunters and herb pickers, as well as the occasional traveler, from the dead.

The willingness of a Bishop to live in such a dangerous and remote place seemed to the people of the city of Freiris to be a great self-sacrifice. They don't think much about it at all, except to be moved and to praise this noble act. It's just that Gordon wasn't Ben. Bishop Anisa's aura of sainthood was bewildered, so he was able to guess the true intention of the Bishop to settle here.

"It's sparsely populated, and passers-by avoid it. Coupled with the abundance of negative energy, it can provide a perfect environment for the study of necromancy...... It may seem strange if there is a bishop of the Church of Dawn living near this forest. But if it's a necromancer's retreat, then there's no sense of disobedience at all. ”

Gordon observed the situation in the Forest of Dead Words from afar for a moment.

He didn't rush near the lonely hut at the edge of the forest. Since the bishop was not a good man, he was trying to hide his unsightly secret. Naturally, they will put a lot of restrictions on their own accommodation to prevent others from approaching. So it's better to have a good look before conducting a search.

After blessing myself with a flying technique. Gordon slowly rose into the air, and then opened the eyes of truth and warning.

"There was nothing wrong with the cottage itself, as was the vegetable patch outside, but the lettuce was growing well and it was obvious that someone was taking care of it every day. It seems that the bishop is a very careful man, even if it is just pretending, he has done every detail to the best. ”

Observed. After seeing that there was no problem, Gordon landed in mid-air and approached the cabin.

on the doorknob. He noticed a few tangled gray threads. However, this small arcane mechanism is just a piece of cake for him. Stretching out his finger and flicking it slightly, the spiritual threads broke in response. Becoming invisible.

Gordon pushed the door open. Walk into the house where the Bishop lives.

As Renas had said, Mr. Bishop's life was incredibly simple and unpretentious. Those humble furnishings don't hide any secrets at all. Even in the only storage compartment in the house, Gordon found only a few simple clothes.

If it weren't for the eyes of truth and warning, he would have had to return in vain today.

So when Gordon discovered that there was a light gray glow on the wooden floor, that is, the breath of negative energy, he felt a sense of joy in his heart. If it weren't for the Eye of Truth and Warning presented by Ion, I'm afraid no one would have been able to discover Ben. The secret of Anissa.

Perhaps, the God of Knowledge has designated himself to be involved in this matter. Is that why?

Gordon pondered as he studied the seemingly unremarkable floor. Only then did he find out. It turned out that someone on the ground had cast a quadruple illusion to hide people's eyes and ears. Not to mention ordinary people, even mages with extraordinary arcane attainments, if it weren't for a special detection method like Gordon, or a special proficiency in the illusion school, I'm afraid it would be difficult to discover the mysteries.

Gordon carefully examined this constant illusion: "Well, the technique is not very clever, but it is better because the caster is careful and thoughtful, so when the spell is completed in the end, the effect is very good." From this point of view, it is very much in line with the Ben. The character of Bishop Anissa. ”

This quadruple illusion, each component, is just a four-ring illusion, and with Gordon's ability, it is not very difficult to disarm them. After an hour, he finally lifted the spell and saw a deep staircase that led to the ground.

After descending the stairs to the dark basement, Gordon found that the air he exhaled suddenly condensed into a white mist. Although the temperature on the mage's robe was already constant, with this change in the environment, he could still sense that the temperature in this basement had dropped much lower than the ground.

The rich breath of negative energy, coupled with the unusually low temperature, is simply the most typical feature of the necromancer's room.

Soon, Gordon found a large room with a large number of dried corpses and various biological organs. Now, Ben. The identity of Anissian Necromancer is beyond doubt.

Although if this news is released now, in the face of conclusive evidence, the saint mask of the bishop can be directly pierced.

But to do so, it's just a matter of being able to convert this . Anissa was brought to justice. The Death One Zhi Sect still has nothing to lose in his wake. I'm afraid it won't have much impact on the conspiracy they're on.

Therefore, the best choice is to keep a wait-and-see attitude for the time being and closely monitor the present. Anissa's every move in the hope of finding more useful information.

Gordon decided to continue his search in the Bishop's underground vault.

But it's a pity that this is cautious. Anissa did not leave any information here related to the Cult of the Dead One. Gordon is just from Ben. Anissa studied the scattered notes of necromancy, as well as the consumption of various alchemy and spell-casting materials, and deduced that this guy had been learning necromancy since about five years ago, and was now a four-ring necromancer.

In just five years, being able to go from an ordinary person who knows nothing about arcane to a four-ring mage is definitely a remarkable achievement. Many people, even in their lifetimes, will not be able to take the first step, and will die as just a poor mage apprentice.

As for Gordon, a person who has a system as an aid, and can transform from a first-ring mage to a six-ring mage in less than a year, belongs to the unreasonable existence zài.

Although Ben. Anisa's arcane attainments are not too high, but don't forget that he himself is also a high-ranking priest who can achieve the position of bishop, so on the whole, his combat effectiveness is definitely not negligible, and he is a very formidable enemy.

There was another thing that made Gordon curious. That is, what happened five years ago that this Mr. Bishop was willing to fall, abandon the light, delve into necromancy, and even go the distance of being in the company of cultists?

Although this underground chamber was eerie and cold, filled with the rancid stench of the dead, Gordon was driven by curiosity and was as interested as if he were exploring a treasure trove of gold.

Then, at the end of the secret passage, he discovers a secret in a luxurious bedroom that is very different from the magic room.

On that saffron wall, adorned with ornate patterns, hangs a painting. The painting depicts a lady with a heroic posture. She was dressed in silver-white armor, holding a long sword that exuded a sacred aura in her hand, her long pale golden hair fluttering casually in the wind, and her blue eyes with a hint of sadness in her determination, staring into the distance.

"Renus? Root. How could there be a portrait of Renas in Anissa's bedroom? (To be continued......)
