Nance City

The massive Lewis Castle stood in the western part of the castle when suddenly a crack cracked in the sky above the castle.

"Uhh

With a crisp thud, a hemispherical barrier shattered, and the once magnificent castle was gone, leaving only a mess, raging fire, and wails of pain.

When Wood saw this scene, his eyes were not mixed with any emotion, and he left the Mia Chamber of Commerce and walked in the direction of the castle.

The citizens of Nance were also awakened by the sudden cry of terror, and ran out of the door.

"Lewis Castle is on fire!"

"What a retribution!"

The City Lord's Mansion was also immediately alarmed, and several other high-level magicians in the city also rushed to Lewis Castle at this moment.

But when they arrived at Lewis Castle, all they saw was ruins.

A man similar to the captain of the Nance City Guard ran to Fowler, the Nansi City Lord, bowed down and said, "City Lord...... We didn't feel it at all, but by the time we found out, it was already like this. ”

After all, the city lord Fowler was a high-level 4-star magician, and after thinking for a moment, he said solemnly to the guards: "Hurry up and disperse the civilians, this is not where they can join in the fun." Then see if there are any that survive. ”

"Yes"

Fowler fell into deep thought at the moment, and said to several high-level magicians behind him: "There are only two possibilities to destroy the Lewis family without anyone noticing: first, this is the work of a magus, and second, the murderer has used the third-order isolation enchantment or higher. ”

President Joseph said: "Look at this ruin, you should ...... It was the Magister who did it. ”

Bill also snorted coldly: "It must be that this Lewis family is usually too arrogant and offended a big man." If you want me to say, you deserve it. ”

Joseph chuckled and said, "Bill, don't say that, of course this has no effect on us, the Fowler City Lord will have a headache." ”

That's right, if such a big thing happens within his jurisdiction, he is willing to wait for a long time to deal with it, and if he doesn't do it, he will be punished by the upper echelons of the empire.

At this time, the guard stepped forward again and said respectfully to Fowler, "Lord of the city, no survivors have been found. Everyone died, even those who escaped from the castle were burned to death by the flames. ”

Dean Morgan sighed: "Presumably Thomas Lewis is also dead." ”

Fowler also shook his head and said to Dean Morgan: "The Imperial Tournament is coming, no one knows that this kind of thing will happen at this critical juncture, Morgan, hurry up and find a new captain." ”

Morgan looked sullen, fell silent and left the castle, flying in the direction of Nance College.

At this time, the patriarch of the Clark family interrupted: "That murderer is really vicious, and there is no one left." ”

Wood, as a member of the high-level magicians at this time, of course also arrived at this time, and said: "Don't pretend, if you want to talk about the Lewis family, the biggest benefit is your Clark family." ”

Clark hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't wronged me, I don't have the ability to do this." ”

Hansen seemed a little absent-minded at the moment and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Fowler asked, "Hansen, you seem to have something on your mind?"

"Ah, ......nothing," replied Hansen, "Baron George has improved another potion, and I'm still working on it." ”

Fowler nodded in understanding.

Bill quipped, "You alchemists, you spend your days like idiots." ”

Hansen smiled and didn't speak, he didn't associate the demise of the Lewis family with Eddie.

The only person present who knew the truth was Wood, the president of the Mia Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't say it.

Fowler said, "Let's be careful lately, if the Lewis family really provokes the Magister, it will inevitably affect us." ”

"Let's go...... Just leave it to the guards. ”

Joseph and the others turned around and left the territory of Lewis Castle, and Fowler sighed and walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

The patriarch of the Clark family showed a happy expression when he saw everyone leaving, and said to an entourage behind him: "Quick, take over all the Lewis family's property." ”

"Yes!"

"Haha! From now on, there will be only our Clark family in Nance City!"

Outside the city of Nance, a boy of about eight or nine years old was staring at the vanishing castle and the rising fire, his face dazed and incredulous, and after a moment two lines of tears slid down his cheeks to the ground.

Wiping away his tears, the boy turned and walked towards the forest behind him......

At this time, inside the hotel.

Erin was lying in bed and was asleep.

Eddie sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping Erin, with mixed thoughts.

Coming out of the room, Eddie went to the top of the roof, sat down in that familiar place, and looked in a daze in the direction where the fire was still burning in the distance.

Eddie's expression was painful, he gritted his teeth, and his palms were almost cut by his fingernails.

After a long time, Eddie spoke, "Old Black, is it really necessary?"

Lao Hei's cold voice sounded: "Yes." ”

Eddie asked softly, "Why, what if there are innocent people?"

"Because none of us want this to happen again, we can't leave a single aftermath behind. ”

Eddie's face was pained: "But why do I feel so guilty, why do I feel bad?"

"Soul ...... I don't feel the slightest sense of guilt, and I even feel like it's a pleasure to take someone's life. "I just did what I had to do, and if it weren't for me, this body would have only one soul, and you'd have made that choice." ”

Eddie asked in a low voice, "Old Black, what can we do to protect our cherished people?"

"What is lost is lost forever, and what happens happens happens...... What we have to do is to keep the things we cherish and prevent them from being taken away or harmed. Lao Hei said slowly.

Eddie whispered, "Even if we destroy the Lewis family, we succeed in rescuing Erin, and we succeed in revenge...... Still, I felt very guilty. ”

"Revenge is humble, and if I could, I would like to never have that word in this world." ”

"Lao Hei, I don't need you to forcibly control it in the future, I will also kill all those who are threatened!"

"But can you really do it? It's a fixed number of souls, your soul limits your actions, and you fall into endless pain and guilt. ”

Eddie's eyes showed determination at this moment, and he shouted: "As long as this part of my soul is still there, I will protect the people I cherish!

Lao Hei didn't speak for a long time, and let out a sigh: "If you can't do it, then all this ...... I'll do it. ”

In a few short sentences, a teenager completed the transformation of his soul and experienced the most important growth in his life.

"Become stronger, the most important thing now is to become stronger, without strength, there is no strength to protect your loved ones!"
