Lucien didn't expect that in the past two months, Stulk has been in turmoil, which has hindered his plan to go to the Kingdom of Holm again, but since he came to this world, he has been encountering various difficulties on the road of his life, and he has come to this day with the spirit of never backing down and never giving up, and there is only one strait away from the Magic Council. Compared to the dangers that had been encountered before, this obstacle was really nothing.

So, Lucien calmly asked, "Is he really a traitor, and what is his name?"

There are some things that you have to ask clearly, you don't want to be used as a gunman by Stulk's contacts, and you don't want to be an outcast in the end.

"The Ferryman" said in a solemn tone: "His name is Harrison Brown, an official knight, and two weeks ago the Daily Sturk published a report of his acceptance of the medal for the following reasons: 'Defending the glory of the Lord in darkness, and purifying nearly fifty lost lambs.'" If you doubt what I'm saying, go to the City Library and look for that issue of the newspaper, which even has a speech he gave to the City Council at the time of his award, showing no remorse for the more than thirty magical apprentices who died as a result of him. It is important to know that most of these apprentices were only twelve or thirteen years old, had only received basic training in arcane theory, and had not yet entered a meditative state. ”

"I'll check. Lucien nodded, "But I have one more question. ”

The "ferryman" looked at Lucian's slightly dull face, "What?"

"From what I've seen and heard from my travels and previous experience, the Church has always secretly rewarded such betrayers with a secret reward to keep them safe from reprisals, or to let them join the Night's Watch directly. Basically, I have not heard of the knightly medal being awarded in a fair manner. Perhaps, it's a trap?" Lucien doesn't joke with his life.

It was no surprise that the Ferryman could see this to Lucien, as mages like them, who had grown up in the oppression and hunting of the Church, would be vastly lacking in arcane theory. But in terms of sensitivity and adaptability, it is definitely better than those who have been educated in the security environment of the council: "Yes, we also think that this may be a trap for the night watch. But we must kill him to deter the people inside. ”

"There was no you. We will also try to assassinate. This is given to you now in order to pass the test and go to Alinge as soon as possible. If you refuse, that's okay, leave me a contact form. I'll let you know when there's anything else I can do to prove my identity in the future. He paused, "If you accept it." Make a request if necessary, and we'll help you distract the night watch. But we won't tell you how to lead away, after all, you haven't proven yourself yet. ”

"As long as you succeed, we will welcome new companions with the utmost enthusiasm. ”

He silently added in his heart, if you fail, you can't implicate us.

"Harrison, what is Brown's blood power, what are some extraordinary weapons or items, what are the patterns of activity? I think you've gathered all this information. Lucien asked with a smile, as a full-fledged magician. Even in a face-to-face battle, there is a great deal of certainty in killing a knight of the same rank, let alone a covert attack, the main problem lies in other aspects, "Through this information, I can be sure that I can be sure that I can kill Harrison Brown under the protection of the Night's Watch and get rid of the track." ”

The "Ferryman" was satisfied to talk to such a clever magician. To put it bluntly: "Brown's blood power is 'regeneration', a good bloodline from trolls, the power is large and fast, as long as the head is not cut off, it will regenerate infinitely before the energy of the body is consumed." Of course, since it was a troll bloodline, acid and fire were able to destroy this regeneration of him, causing him to truly die. ”

"Originally, he had a first-level transcendent weapon given by the council, the withering short spear, which added toxin damage, and later the church rewarded him with a second-level transcendent item, the Witcher's Shield, which in addition to its own defense equivalent to a second-level knight, can also absorb a certain degree of elemental damage. As for whether there are other transcendent items, we don't know. ”

"The pattern of his activities is ......"

The "ferryman" told Lucien all the information he had gathered about Brown, and Lucien listened quietly and analyzed the possible opportunities.

Brown did not accept visits from anyone other than the clergy, aristocrats, and prominent high society members of Steulk, rarely went out, liked oil painting and wax art, and was said to settle in the holy city of Reims after five months...... Pieces of information echoed in Lucian's mind, and it wasn't until the "ferryman" finished speaking that Lucien asked with confirmation: "The morning after tomorrow, Brown will go to the opening ceremony of the Sogg Wax Museum?"

"Yes, the wax artist promised Brown to make a lifelike wax figure for him and place it in the wax museum before he left for Reims, in recognition of his contribution to the fight against darkness. Therefore, he will definitely go to this opening ceremony. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the night watchman made him come out often to move. The ferryman replied and repeated, "When the time comes, if we need to divert the night watch, please let us know in advance." ”

"Okay, I'll give it a try. Lucien accepted the matter with a dull expression.

After agreeing on a contact location and a sign with the ferryman, Lucien sails into the darkness in a small boat, using both magic and knightly means to escape from his tracking.

............

In the middle of the night the next day, Lucien, dressed in a black hooded robe, appeared at a stone arch bridge, one of the two leading bridges to the island where the "Thorn Wax Museum" is located, and it is the best choice from Brown's villa to the island. Walking on another bridge will take you around in a big circle.

In addition, as far as Lucien knows, since the wax artist is very popular in Stulk, many nobles and big businessmen will come to participate in the ceremony tomorrow, and their private boats will definitely crowd the water near the wax museum, so even if Sog comes through the canal by boat, he will disembark on the water on this side, and then go to the wax museum through the stone arch bridge.

It was the second half of the night, the sky was full of stars, the water was shining, and everything was silent.

Lucien stood on the edge of the bridge, his hands pressed to the bridge deck, and his mouth opened to let out a silent scream.

Ripples were transmitted from Lucien's hand into the stone arch bridge, and fed back back. Then adjust and feedback, and gradually, the stone bridge began to shake visibly. And it is getting more and more intense, and the swing is getting bigger and bigger.

"The Professor's Resonant Hand"!

Seeing that the amplitude of the stone bridge was about to reach its limit and collapse at any moment, Lucien suddenly stopped. And watch it gradually calm down, not the same as before.

But in fact, the internal structure of this stone bridge has been damaged a lot. Although there is no possibility of collapse yet, it is enough to produce the small change that Lucien hoped for when the load bearing reaches a certain level.

............

The black heraldic boats stopped beside the street, and Harrison Brown walked down with his entourage, and he looked at the extraordinary boats docked opposite, and couldn't help but yearn for it, when will he have the same status as them?

After watching quietly for a few minutes, Brown was surrounded by his entourage. Walking towards the stone arch bridge a hundred meters away, there were people coming and going, and there was nothing unusual about it.

As he walked, Brown looked around, though he knew that there were several powerful Night's Watch men nearby to protect and spy on him. But he knew better that his betrayal had provoked the wrath of the Magic Council, and he couldn't be cautious.

"But I can't disobey the church's requirements, and I have to go out and walk around once in a while. Hopefully these months will be safe and sound, and when I get to Reims, I will be able to enjoy life with complete peace of mind. ”

In this cautious mind, Brown and his retinue stepped onto the stone arch bridge.

At this time, on a pointed boat docked not far from the bridge, Lucien, who was in black suit, nodded to a carriage on the shore: "Remember to send this cart of steel to the Utaka Trading House." It's your pay. ”

The young man driving the carriage smiled innocently: "Please rest assured, sir. ”

The carriage moved slowly, and Lucien motioned for the boatman to row the boat, as if preparing to cross under the stone arch bridge.

The carriage with heavy steel drove up the stone arch bridge not far away, and Brown had just reached the middle of the bridge.

Harrison Brown walked slowly, constantly watching from side to side, but the pedestrians who came and went were so ordinary, and occasionally there were those who seemed to be not weak, and they were also the retinue of the nobles.

"They shouldn't have jumped in knowing that the road was a trap, especially since it had only been two weeks, and it was the most vigilant and vigilant time. Well, maybe someone from the Magic Council will do it on my way to Reims, it's very likely!" Brown was more comfortable with his current situation, but worried about the journey in five months.

Just as Brown's thoughts were a little wandering, he suddenly felt a wave-like vibration under his feet, as if the stone arch bridge was about to collapse.

"Someone attacked!" was Brown's knee-jerk reaction, and the milky white light on his body suddenly lit up, covering him with snow-white feathers.

Third-level magic "Angel Feather"!

At the same time, he drew a short spear with a pointed green tip in his right hand, and took a shield from his attendant in his left hand to block it.

He did all this so quickly, which fully reflects his rich combat experience.

But the wave-like tremors gradually subsided, and the stone bridge soon regained its calm.

"Is the stone bridge in disrepair?" thought Harrison Brown, stunned, and looked around to see several sharp boats passing by, and at the bow of one of them stood a handsome young man with his hands behind his back, dressed in a black suit, smiling at his "inexplicable" actions on the bridge.

Then the boat went under the stone arch bridge.

............

"When the stone bridge shook just now, there were nearly ten people who reacted very differently from ordinary people, excluding a few noble knights, there were about five night watchmen, namely the adventurer who walked to Brown's right, the richly dressed merchant who walked off the bridge, the couple who followed Brown, and the boatman on the boat behind me. ”

"In addition to the withering spear and the witcher's shield, Brown also has a third-level magic item......"

Lucien looked at the water ahead of him and followed the Sharp Boat as he disappeared across the canal.

From the beginning, Lucien didn't intend to actually bring down the stone bridge, because it was dangerous to do it without even the night watchmen being roughly determined, and a surprise attack that caused chaos by breaking down the stone bridge might not have a good effect.

This is just a temptation. (To be continued.) )
