The torrential rain poured down like a waterfall from the sky, hitting the ground, splashing a faint mist, and the surroundings were completely dark, except for the occasional lightning in the sky, bright and dazzling, as if it were a ghost without people.

No one dares to go out at night, and the heavy rain makes every house isolated, giving people both the panic of the coming of the end and the strange sense of security of not being afraid of others breaking in, and the water curtain is like the walls of the house.

In an ordinary two-story house in the city, a young man in a bright red magic robe was looking at the rain curtain in a daze, his eyes were deep, he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, his appearance was about twenty years old, his eyes were blood-red, his facial features were handsome, brilliant like a bursting but shining thunder snake, full of vitality, and the faint bookish breath on his body added a sense of elegance to him, constituting a unique temperament.

"Fernando, have you relayed those words to Count Pefors?" The door to the room creaked open, and a young man dressed in "fashionable" entered, wearing a fashionable black turtleneck coat with a neckline raised high to the top of his head, and his ears were completely hidden by shadows.

He has long thin cheeks, good features, and two mustaches, and he also has a learned temperament.

"Of course, I've done something, when have I messed up?" the young man known as Fernando turned his head and whispered in a low voice that almost growled, and then he waved his hand to stop the other man approaching, "Roland, I told you, don't stand too close to me!"

Roland held back a smile, did not dare to say anything, and consciously stood a little farther away, for he was tall and thin, a head taller than the diminutive Fernand.

"What's Count Pefors's reaction?" Roland stroked his mustache. Expressions begin to become serious.

Fernando said angrily: "What kind of reaction can you have? It's just the first time we met, and he hasn't even figured out what the situation is! If he dares to agree to anything, I will suspect that it is a trap!"

He spoke with a lot of energy, and his short body seemed to contain infinite strength.

"Yes, we have to take our time, but we'll have to move around tomorrow, don't be targeted by those 'black-clawed dogs'. Roland nodded slightly, "Blackclawed Dog" was their name for the Night's Watch who had killed so many mages, from the black gloves they wore.

Fernando has no problem with this, although he has a more serious temper. In the past, even the teacher dared to contradict a mistake in a certain magical knowledge. He didn't care about the teacher-student relationship of the ancient magic empire's inheritance, but he had been hunted down by the Night's Watch for so long, and even his own teacher was killed by them cooperating with the cardinal, where did he still have any contempt and arrogance.

"It's best to hide in a crypt outside the city first. Fernando said calmly. Then. His gaze shifted to the table. There was an unpretentious belt there, and suddenly he became angry again. "Roland, why do you want me to wear this belt to the Earl of Pefors?

Roland lowered his head to avoid laughing unexpectedly, and only raised his head for a while before he raised his head and said "seriously": "You are a young high-level magician, the hope of the empire, and you have killed cardinals, and you have long been targeted by the 'black-clawed dogs' and become a member of the purification sequence, how can the Count of Pefors not recognize you? ”

"Just use the transformation spell to change your appearance!" Fernando was not deceived at all, and his two bright red eyes seemed to contain a storm.

Roland subconsciously took a step back: "But even the gender has changed, isn't it more difficult to be recognized?" Moreover, besides, you have a short temper and a poisonous mouth, as a man, it is easy to provoke the Earl of Pefors, and if you are a beautiful lady, you are relatively more use of communication and negotiation. ”

"We have no shortage of female magicians. Fernando kind of accepted the explanation and muttered.

Roland spread his hands: "But they are not high-level, they are easy to be caught, besides, when I proposed it, you didn't object, and you didn't even ask for an explanation." ”

"Okay. Fernando's anger came and went as quickly as he could, and he didn't seem to be as angry about this as Roland had imagined, "I'm just curious about what it's like to be a woman......"

Roland seemed to be interested, and asked curiously, "What does it feel like to be a lady?"

"It's strange, it's a pleasure to see someone else stupid, but this belt is not perfect, and the changed situation is all fake, and you can't really experience the physical sensations of a lady......," Fernando thought as if he was studying magic, "I have to find a way to refine a perfect ......"

After speaking, he looked at Roland, only to see his friend stunned, and it took a long time to spit out a word:

"Perverted!"

"Huh?" Fernando snorted, and the air pressure around him suddenly increased.

Roland Hara laughed twice: "Just kidding, by the way, Fernando, the day after tomorrow we have to rush to the port of Padre, there is a magician who secretly came by boat from across the channel, it is an archmage!"

"Archmage?" Fernando said in slight surprise.

"Well, a fairly young archmage, this is a great addition to our strength!" Roland said excitedly, "If it weren't for Garros's previous dealings with him across the channel, we wouldn't have been able to contact him at all, and other magical organizations would definitely come to woo him." ”

It has been divided into three kingdoms, a principality, and the Northland Coastal Corridor city cluster, and the former magical empire has been broken up, and many magical organizations have emerged, including the long-standing super-large organizations such as the "Palmella's Hut", as well as the newly established small organizations, such as the "Wizards' Union" to which Fernando and the others belong, all of whom have in common the ability to hide in dark corners and fight for survival.

Fernando nodded lightly, "An archmage who understands the spells of the Nine Rings can indeed help us truly unite with other organizations. ”

Their organization was named the "Magicians' United Union", hoping to unite the major magical organizations to fight against the church, but they were not strong enough to convince other organizations.

Roland sighed deeply: "Yes, the legendary lords can hide in their own half-plane, hide and seal the entrance, and escape into the dark mountain range, and we can only work hard to survive, and an archmage is the most important weight." ”

"I can't say the same, if it weren't for the legendary lords who drew the attention of the cardinals and the epic knights, we might have been wiped out long ago. "It's rare that Fernando doesn't describe those legendary magicians as rats in the gutter.

Roland sighed again: "There are also the existence of important cities such as Aalto, it is said that most of the strength of the Cult of Truth is placed on conquering them, well, there are quite a few legendary lords gathered there, although not all, but also most of them, it seems that the glory of the empire has not died with the fall of Antiphre, but has re-emerged cohesion, hey, if it weren't for the disappearance of so many legendary lords in the past, the Cult of Truth ......would not have developed at all."

"It's already a fact, don't regret and regret it, look to the present and the future!" Fernando interrupted Roland rudely, "What's that archmage's name?

He subconsciously compared himself to himself.

Roland shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, it's not too young, who can become an archmage is not hundreds of years old?"

"I won't have it in the future!" said Fernando, proudly.

Although he was born after the Sacred Calendar, the War of Dawn was still in a state of scorching state, and much of the Channel was still under the control of the two magical empires.

Roland held back a smile again: "By the way, his name is Derek Douglas, and he went into exile on our side because of the fall of Antiphreus. ”

"Derek Douglas. Fernando repeated, remembering the name as an object of future comparison, "Why didn't he fly over directly?"

"It is said that he was injured, and it is not good for flying, and there is no examination on the boat anyway. "Roland doesn't care too much about authenticity.

Bang!

A loud thunderclap exploded.

Fernando looked out the window, turned to Roland and said, "It's time to rest, we have to move the place tomorrow, and then rush to Port Padre." ”

Roland raised his eyebrows with a knowing expression: "Understood, you want Ingrid to come over." ”

"Get out!" Fernando yelled unceremoniously.

Roland Ha Lu laughed and shouted as he walked out, "Ingrid, Fernando let you go." ”

The anger on Fernando's face disappeared, and a faint helplessness and emotion appeared, he and Ingrid, the female magician, could not talk about how deep their feelings were, but in this desperate, depressed, and dark environment, each one urgently needed the comfort of each other's bodies.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and a mirror with countless mysterious symbols stood out directly in front of his body.

A holy light that seemed to fall from the sky struck the mirror with a vast aura, shattering it completely, but the holy light bounced back, piercing through the rain and darkness outside, drowning several figures.

"Enemy attack!" Fernando shouted, and with a finger of his hand, a figure that jumped out of the shadows immediately became crystal shining, stiffened in midair, and then fell to the ground with a crisp crackling sound, cracking into countless pieces like glass.

"No..."A female scream stopped abruptly, and Fernando frowned.

He pulled out and entered the hallway, where he saw a black-gloved figure cross over a corpse.

This corpse, he was so familiar, but at this time there was no more anger!

"Damn it!" Fernando's bloodshot eyes crackled around him, and then a series of silver-white lightning like a giant serpent surrounded the night watchman, like a forest of thunder and lightning.

Bang!

The electric light seduced the lightning outside, and the thick electric snake fell from the sky, directly breaking through the roof.

Surrounded by a sea of thunder and lightning, Fernando did not delay, and he reined in his anger and covered the evacuation of the other magicians through the secret passage.

Then, he cast a spell to set Ingrid's body on fire, which was considered to be a funeral for her. (To be continued......)
