The night was cold and silent at the Tamu Fortress, and most of the soldiers in the barracks had fallen asleep, leaving only a few guards to patrol back and forth. Since Dorne and Gaiman, who were in front of Dayton, had not been captured for the time being, the Dayton soldiers stationed at the Tam River did not feel a sense of urgency, and the danger was still far away from them, which was the thought of most people.

In Ness's room, wood burned in the makeshift fireplace, making it no longer cold, and the world was silent except for the crackling sound of burning.

The girl on the bed fell asleep motionlessly, the quilt covering her body rose and fell rhythmically, and everything was so peaceful and harmonious.

But no matter how warm the room is, there is always darkness that light cannot take care of, just as there are always dark corners in the human heart, and in the dead corners where the flames of the fireplace and candles cannot shine, a dark force is surging. The whirlpool, which was darker than darkness, gradually grew, and six figures emerged from it one by one, each wearing a pitch-black cloak, as if the whole body was exuding a dark aura.

Their arrival plunged the room into darkness, and although the fire in the fireplace had not been extinguished and the candles were still burning, the room was darker than midnight.

Four of the six figures walked to the four corners of the bed, and the other two to the door, all without a sound, their movements swift and sophisticated.

The girl on the bed buried her head in the quilt, revealing only the corner of her nightcap, and even her hair was completely covered in the hat. The four figures looked at each other, but without much hesitation, they raised their hands at the same time, raising them above their heads, and a black vortex swirled above the bed, covering the entire bed.

The whirlpool slowly moved downward, as if to swallow the girl on the bed into the darkness, and the four figures and their consistent movements were as if they were the four shadows of one person.

Just as the whirlpool was about to touch the girl's body, suddenly a dazzling golden light erupted from the bed, and the golden yellow filled the entire room, driving away even the darkness in the darkest corners. At the same time, a strong gust of wind quickly spread out from the center of the bed, blowing through every corner of the room, blowing away all the filth. The figure's hood was blown off by the strong wind, revealing the terrifying and mutilated face inside,

The six figures erupted in a howl of pain, the golden light almost crushing them, but they were clearly not ordinary demons, and after stabilizing themselves from the initial impact, the demons at the foot of the four beds raised their hands again, and a faint black shadow appeared again above the bed.

"Hmph, don't you give up yet?" a contemptuous voice came from the bed, and the woman on the bed sat up, only to see her take off her nightcap, and her long reddish-brown hair poured down.

The demon looked at the woman on the bed, his eyes wide in confusion, obviously this was not the person they were looking for. But they didn't have a chance to think, the woman quickly recited a spell in her mouth, and six flames suddenly ignited from the demon's body, and then exploded violently, and the demon's body burst open from the inside, and in an instant it was burned by the flames.

The flames in the fireplace suddenly dimmed, and with the fall of the demon, they burned again. The door slammed open from the outside, and several big men ran in.

"Are you alright, Izu...... "The head of the sage is none other than Lucius, King of Dayton.

Ilsutia clearly didn't like Lucius calling her Ys in front of everyone, and her brow furrowed in dissatisfaction. "I wonder if Ness would have been taken away by them if I had been one more day late?"

"I'm very sorry, Great Sage, but it was my negligence. Lucius glanced around the room and put away his sword after making sure there was no danger. "I've been guarding my surroundings for a long time, but I didn't expect the demon to appear in this way. ”

Ilsutea put on her boots and straightened her clothes. "The Dark Lord has awakened, and a large number of demons have also appeared with it, and only a few high-level demon mages can activate teleportation magic, and now the dark tide is more difficult to prevent than before. ”

Lucius clenched his fists. "It seems that Morena has to sleep too, this kind of sneak attack is really unguardable. ”

"Not necessarily. Ilsutia walked up to Lucius and looked at him faintly. "Even if the demons could teleport anywhere in Wallis, they had to know where their target was, or else it would be in vain. ”

"What do you mean......" Lucius opened his mouth in confusion. "The Demon knows that Ness is in the Fortress of the River Tam and is in this room?"

Ilsutia still looked at the king and did not answer.

Lucius shook his head. "No way, how would they know? I can guarantee that the guards never let a suspicious person approach here. ”

Ilsutya smiled slightly. "External threats are never the most deadly, but threats from within are invincible. ”

Lucius nodded abruptly. "I understand what you mean, Great Sage, I will ...... today"

"Don't say it, just know it in your own heart. Ilsutia interrupted him. "The less people know, the safer. ”

Lucius stopped speaking and turned away with his guards, and Morena then entered the room and bowed respectfully to the Grand Sage. "Are you looking for me, Great Sage?"

"Sit down. Ilsutea found a chair and sat down, waiting for Jamina to sit down across from her before continuing, "I need you to get out of here with the Hallows, the farther away the better. ”

"What?" said Morena nearly jumped up from her chair. "But Ness needs me, His Majesty needs me, and if the Dark Tide attacks, Dayton will need me. ”

"Of course I do. Ilsutia looked at the fireplace, the flames beating in her eyes. "Ness and the Hallows, if you want to deal with the Dark Lord, they are indispensable, and we cannot lose them at the same time. ”

Morena understood what Ilsutia meant, but she still wanted to struggle. "But you're here, too, so it's the safest place, isn't it?"

Ilsutia turned her head and looked at the archmage with a blank expression. "In the face of the death of the dark lord Adeline, can I be stronger than her? even I can't see through everyone's heart, here is the dark lord's eyeliner, and this place is no longer safe. ”

"Doesn't all of Wallis have the Dark Lord's eyeliner?" Jarena blurted out.

"But here we are in the light, and the Lord of Darkness is in the dark, and if you disappear with the artifact and there is no news, then the Lord of Darkness will not be able to find you. Ilsutia said slowly, she was not in a hurry.

Morena had nothing to say, so she had to bow her head.

Ilsutia continued, "Look at tonight, no one is safe, today it's Ness, maybe tomorrow it's you, do you think you can get out of the face of the six demons?"

Jasmine faltered, and she slowly raised her head. "But ......"

"I know what you're worried about. Ilsutia finally smiled. "Have you forgotten? The feeling between you is so strong, he will surely find you. ”

"That'...... All right. "Jarena knew that since the Great Sage had given the order, she would not be able to refuse no matter what, but she didn't know when she had become so indecisive, and she had never been like this before.

"Of course, you can also take the caraponia, which is inlaid with the holy artifact, I believe that it can make your magic to a higher level, and it can also add a sense of safety to you during your journey. Ilsutia said with satisfaction, as if she had expected Morena to agree.

Morena pursed her lips and looked uneasily at the flickering flames, her heart occupied by worry.
