"But they don't know, do they?" Hughes said. In their opinion, these two kinds of magic of the teacher are very terrifying. Just as we wonder why they didn't break into the lab and kill the teacher. I'm afraid they also wonder why the teacher didn't stand in front of them, activate these two spells, and kill them all....."

"In your opinion, that's why they didn't march right away?" Tristan asked.

"yes." Hughes said. "In my imagination, they probably thought that the professor would immediately lead someone to attack them.... Then, ostensibly recuperating and sending small troops to support the other families, but secretly preparing another Sword of Punishment in a hidden location--- so that the professor could attack when he appeared..."

"Wait." Tristan interrupted Hughes. "Listen to what you just meant, the Lucills will give priority to the leader of the enemy who attacks them nearby, that is..."

"You." Hughes said. "There is no doubt that you will be the target of the first attack."

"Uh...," Tristan said. I don't want to die. Otherwise, let's prepare some more defensive magic. ”

"How many defensive spells does Joey have? No matter how much that kind of magic is prepared, I am afraid that it will not be able to block the attack of the Sword of Punishment. Hughes said. Think differently. ”

"A different way of thinking?" Tristan wondered.

"It's true that you can't stop it, but why block it?" Hughes said. "They will tend to attack the commander of our team, so if you hide in the crowd, use camouflage to change into something else, use double art to make a puppet that looks exactly like you, they will attack that puppet..."

"That sounds good." Tristan said. "But the Lucier family is good at breaking demons, and the stand-in technique is not a high-level spell, what if they see through it?"

"And what do you want to do?" Hughes asked.

"What do you think?" Tristan mused. Is it possible for the Lucilles family to accept peace talks? ”

"Peace talks?" Hughes looked a little surprised when he heard the word. "Professor Halwick probably wouldn't agree. and talk about your own experimental materials and whatever...."

"This is also a direction of experimentation." Tristan's voice was a little anxious. "Mr. Harwick has done something similar before..."

"Really?" Hughes was surprised. "What's going on?"

"I don't know." Tristan said. "But he put one part of the experiment and left the other part .... I guess I made some kind of agreement with those test subjects secretly. In that case, I should have no problem making a settlement with this experiment..."

"It's hard to say." Hughes said.

"I won't say whether the Lucier family will accept it, but what if he denies the settlement agreement you reached, and another person leads everyone to conduct experiments and continue to fight with the Lucier family?"

Tristan's body trembled slightly. "That...."

"Don't think about it." Hughes said. "If you don't think the stand-in technique is good... There's a spell that works a little better. ”

"What is it?" Tristan asked hurriedly.

"Counterfeiting." Hughes said. "Someone else, impersonating Professor Halwick. After this spell is successfully cast, even if the person who becomes the professor is attacked, or even killed, it will not change back to its original state. ”

"Will this work?" Tristan wondered. "You'll be able to tell."

"If Professor Hallwick suddenly appears in front of the enemy during the battle---- those people in the Lucille family will definitely panic and attack immediately." Hughes said. "After a long time, maybe it may be distinguished. However, we can take out the fake Professor Halwick when they attack them. ”

"In that case... Yes. Tristan hesitated. But if this analysis is wrong... If they don't attack the professor and continue to do it to me...."

"Then it can't be helped." Hughes said. "It shouldn't happen. But if you're really scared, you can delegate the work of leading the group to someone else and stay here. ”

"I—" Tristan slurred, not saying anything more.

"The sudden presence of a professor there will also make a lot of people want to express themselves more...," Hughes said. If you don't go, and we win, what do you think will happen next? ”

Tristan didn't speak again, and sighed.

Solidify and fade.

Carl and his men stood scattered in the hallway, some treating wounds on their bodies, others looking around, and talking.

At this moment, a soldier of the Lucille family ran in the distance. He took a look at the team and ran towards Karl's position.

"The Duke has an order!" As he got closer, he shouted. "Captain Karl, Duke Lucil needs you to pick up the defeated Duran forces and help them complete their mission."

With that, he ran up to Karl and handed over a gleaming golden letterhead. Carl opened the letter, read it for a moment, and put it away.

"Yes." He said.

"When are you leaving?" The soldier asked.

"Soon." Carl said. "Some of my men are bandaging their wounds, we'll treat them as soon as possible, and then we'll go over .... By the way, the Duran family was defeated? How's that going? ”

"It's miserable." The soldier put John. Modler alone rushed into the Duran family's ranks, killed the senior officers, and then lured the pursuing soldiers into an ambush, inflicted great damage on them with bombs, and finally killed the Duke of Duran briefly.

"So powerful?" Karl listened and muttered there. "Then even if we go, we may not be able to complete the task."

"Aren't you also very good?" The soldier said. "Avenged Duke Morris by killing one of the strongest mages on the Halwick side."

Karl was noncommittal to this compliment. After that, the soldier left.

After a few more moments, LeVert walked up to Karl with a wound in his armor and a rather embarrassed look.

"I can't find anything that identifies him."

"Forget it, they're all out anyway." Carl said. "What exactly did you just see?"

"Just now? You mean...."

LeVert groaned for a moment and continued. "Everyone is back to the way it was.... Celebrating there, I'm the only one, still cursed, still like this..."

"And then a voice whispers in your ear, urging you to kill the celebrant?" Carl asked.

“... Yes. LeVert said.

"Did you do it?" Karl asked, looking at his torn armor again.
