I don't know when I realized it was wrong.

Perhaps it was Andrew's sudden death that shocked them.

Or perhaps it was the sudden fire in Dumbarlen and the wails of the common people that made them feel as if death was watching it all with a scythe.

Or maybe it was that when Old Hawke heard all this, although he promised to go to the city immediately, he still looked faint.

They watched the mayor's people helplessly and apologetically invite old Hawke to go to the city to preside over the overall situation, they watched old Hawke quickly turn over and rush to the city, and they watched the backs of several people disappear from view little by little.

The memories of the day's funny laughter slowly faded, and what emerged was all kinds of strange dissonances.

That kind of doubt was fleeting and could not be captured, and the four people standing in the ancient castle unconsciously held their breath.

"You don't think it'......"

The girl with long light brown hair hesitated slightly, "Doesn't the old earl look like he needs to recuperate at the beginning of a serious illness?" ”

"It's more like—"

"I've been given a new lease of life."

Anthony calmly continued.

For a moment, the creepy feeling was even stronger, and the cold wind blew, and the three of them couldn't help but shiver, but Anthony said unhurriedly.

"Don't you think that today's Earl Hawke seems to be a little different from the information we gathered when we came?"

"Although he took us to visit Dumbaren, and also took us to the tavern he frequented, and by the way, he also visited the young people he usually instructed, and there seemed to be no difference from the usual routine."

"And yet – all of this is a little too deliberate."

"On the contrary, there are other things that are worth pondering." He unconsciously rubbed the scepter in his hand, which had never left his body, his green eyes watching the fire that was gradually gaining control in the distance.

"What is it?!" Felix hurriedly asked, and Heidi and An Ningning also looked at him.

"For example...... A seafood assorted fried rice that has been eaten for decades, no matter how delicious it is, will it still be pleasantly surprised and satisfied? And this satisfaction is still present when tasting other foods. ”

"Another example...... Andrew was his most valued junior, and Dumbaren was the one he had devoted his entire life to, but now one was dead, the other was burned by fire, and there was no trace of pain in his expression. ”

"But the old earl is still going to help preside over the overall situation and investigate at this moment." Heidi retorted slightly, "Maybe it was because it was so sudden, and he had to face it calmly." ”

"That's not enough." Anthony shook his head slowly, "Or - it's enough." ”

"An old man who has been in a coma for nearly two weeks, no matter how much he is cured, he will not have such spiritual energy."

"Took us on a tour, competed with us for guidance, and now he doesn't stop and refuses our help to rush to the center of chaos."

"Even if his mind is strong enough to endure such grief, the novelty in his eyes that is quickly concealed when he competes with us, when he visits, cannot deceive people—his truest feelings at that time."

"But the strange thing is that as an old earl who has seen the wind and waves and has been honored for half his life, he can endure even great grief without revealing half of it, how can he feel new because of something that is not unusual?"

"Unless— he wasn't sad about it in the first place, and he was curious about it."

"This person."

"He's not an old earl."

Anthony finally came to a conclusion.

……

By the time they rode into the city, the fire had gradually decreased, but there were more wails throughout the city.

As if squeezed by an invisible hand, the faces of the people were hideous and painful, and the breath flowed out little by little with the magic in their bodies, dissipating into the air.

"Quick! Run! ”

Seeing them coming, the mayor's eyes were blood-red and he hissed.

"He's going to kill everyone in Dumbaren—he's not going to let anyone go!"

The hearts of the people were terrified.

Then they saw the black figure standing high above the tower, as if floating and standing.

There is no slightly hunched back, and there is no old body.

The black shadow was slender and thin, and under the fluctuation of magic power, it shook like a water ripple like a twist, but the power that erupted in his body made everyone present stunned and unable to move.

"You're not Earl Hawke! What did you do with him! ”

Felix roared underneath.

The figure stopped slightly, and his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but everyone could still feel the cold gaze looking over.

"Count Hawke?"

The man spoke, his voice soft, as if he had the tone of a teenager, and as if he were a sluggish old man, dumb and strange.

"Who says I'm not Earl Hawke anymore?" He let out a low laugh, but it unexpectedly made people sweat coldly.

As if thinking of something, the mayor suddenly stiffened and looked at the dark shadow with shock and horror, but Felix was unaware of all this, and was still roaring.

"If it was Earl Hawke, how could he have killed all the people in this Dumbarenly! How could you ruin most of your life's hard work! ”

"How not? You teenager always like to ask these superfluous questions—" It seemed that there was no one to stop him, or perhaps in his eyes the four of them did not pose a threat, the dark shadow chuckled in a repulsive tone, "I wouldn't have lived such a simple life at your age. Those who want to challenge will not care about the age of the other person and will challenge them, and the friend who poses a threat......" his gaze seemed to sweep lightly from Anthony's body, "then he will not be merciful to stay." ”

"As for the people who want to kill......"

"I won't ask the other party why."

"Felix! Be careful! An Ningning's face changed, and he immediately drew his sword and pushed the blonde boy aside to resist the magic with a bad aura coming from the top of the tower.

It's a pity that even if the swordsmanship is mastered well, pure martial arts can't completely block the magic power.

"Goddess Fiona, I ask that in the name of sensing all things, be given a creature that can change all this!"

Heidi hurriedly helped.

"Hey~!"

I don't know from which ruined room flew out a chef's red checkered waist, and at this moment, as if there was an invisible person inside, he rushed sideways, shouting, resisting the impact of the magic force, and gently pushed An Ningning aside.

"Well. I'll be here to watch over this beautiful young lady! ”

The magic girdle said in a gentlemanly style.
