"Please, I beg your pardon!"

The magic apprentice's face flushed, and beads of sweat were clearly visible from his forehead, "They—Actually, I haven't been to that shop—"

"What?"

Doug's smile quickly froze on his face, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "...... What do you say?"

"No, it's not!"

The invisible pressure that filled the entire space made the magic apprentice suddenly feel that it was so laborious to suck the air around him into his lungs, almost with the strength of milk, before he finally finished the damn sentence: "But, but, my classmate has been!

-- Resolutely ignore those cute little girls in the future!

The poor magic apprentice wailed inwardly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He had just come back from outside the academy, and he met this very cute little girl looking for people everywhere to ask about the strange shop, and he happened to be a little impressed, so he went up and joined in the fun...... Unexpectedly, the little girl pulled him out of the school - then again, the little hand was really strong - and then found a place with few people, and with a wave of the little hand, he put out a magic array, and before he could marvel at this, a mysterious figure wearing a huge magic crystal ring on both hands came out of the magic array, although his expression was smiling, but his body revealed a faint murderous aura, so that he couldn't speak.

"Your classmates?"

Doug restrained his momentum a little and smiled again, and the magic apprentice opposite immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "What's your classmate's name, where can we find him?"

"Ah, don't worry, many people in the academy know her!" the magic apprentice had an awkward flattering expression, "Her name is Lilu @Ambeshs, and she is very well-known in the school!"

"Who!?"

Doug's pupils contracted instantly, and a heavy pressure erupted around his body: "...... Say it to me again!!"

Not again...... What kind of temper is this......

The magic apprentice's legs went limp, and he almost didn't stop: "Lilu @Ambeshs!"

He timidly repeated it again as Doug requested, and every word rolled over his tongue like a hot soldering iron, making his whole body tremble: "She is on duty in the magic teleportation array of the royal capital, and she is easy to find!"

After making sure that he had heard correctly, Doug unconsciously turned his gaze in the direction of the 'Sanin Grand Sanctuary' and silently clenched his fists: "Really******...... Trouble......"

He was pretty sure that Lilu and the other two magic apprentices had a very high chance of still being in Gregory's hands as the characters who appeared with him! After what happened yesterday, Gregory's sinister little boy wouldn't let them get out easily until he was sure that nothing went wrong, if he had a more ruthless heart-

Oops!

Under the cover of disguise, the expression on Doug's young face suddenly turned cold, and Huo Di turned his head: "Fifian!"

He shouted in the channel, "You heard that, we have to find Lilu right away - if you still want to continue your travel plans to the 'Sea of Sorrows'!

The little girl's expression became serious because she heard Lilu's name, but when she received Doug's words, she immediately sent out a sleeping magic, and the poor magic apprentice in front of her immediately fell asleep on the dirty ground without snorting.

It is estimated that he will have a psychological shadow on the "cute little girl" in the future......

"What are we going to do?"

After dealing with the 'idle people, etc.', Fifian's big clear eyes looked at Doug. It seems that since the assassination, she has been inclined to let Doug make the decision.

"There are three avenues I can think of right now,"

Doug's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought quickly: "First, let's find someone to tell Gregory to send someone here, second, I'll disguise myself as Tutang Carmen to make a trip, and third, I'll make extensive inquiries about more people in Xi'an. ”

"Hmmm......"

Fifian fell into deep thought, his white little fingers unconsciously touching his chin, "Looking for someone...... Who can I turn to?"

"Just find someone, like a street child, and ask him to deliver a letter. "But whether Gregory will do it or whether he will delay it intentionally or unconsciously is beyond his control...... If only you knew the contact information of the Cult of the Radiant God, just send a message through magic. ”

"It's not easy to decipher that......"

Fei Fei'an frowned and shook his head: "Although I can do it, but time does not allow it now!"

"Then there's only the second way. Doug narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the Sanin Great Sanctuary.

"Isn't there a third way?"

Fifian looked at him puzzled.

"That method doesn't work right now. Doug shook his head slightly, "Although Xi'an is so big, there must be people who know about the shop, but on this special day, asking around will only cause us extra trouble...... We don't have time to wait for the limelight to pass. ”

Although there are also a lot of troubles to get Tutang Carmen on again...... But these 'troubles' are at least to be expected.

"-So, you'd better hurry up and come up with a plausible excuse so that I'll have a reason to meet that sinister little brat!"

The expression on Doug's face became serious, and his sharp gaze stared at Fifian.

"Hmm......"

The little girl hung her head and fell into deep thought, and after a few seconds her big eyes suddenly flashed, and she laughed excitedly: "I thought of it!"

De Kopirivo, the Followers of Light who dwell in the darkness - may sound elegant and mysterious, but the things they do, as described by Fifian, are in Doug's view to be a black hand hidden behind Sanin's ass, designed to do things that the upright, simple-minded Templar Guardians would not do, and even more inconvenient, to do, bearing a resemblance to the tail that the street bosses of yesteryear had secretly left behind after bleaching.

Especially when he heard that in the hands of De Kopilivo he also had an armed force that was good at assassination, kidnapping, and sabotage, and could almost be called 'doing all kinds of evil', Sanin's shadow troops, 'no one lives forever', the feeling of déjà vu was even stronger, and he couldn't help but think that the matter of reorganizing no one to live forever would be turned from an excuse into a fact.

- Yes, 're-establish no one to live forever,' that's the excuse Fifian gave him.

Originally, it was just a pretext, and Gregory didn't trust Tutang Carmen to the point where he could happily hand over the Templar Guardians who failed to advance—but now that Doug was quite tempted, it was very convenient and desirable to have such a dark force in the name of light in his hands......

Of course, there is little hope of success in this matter, and everything is still prioritized by understanding 'history'.

Looking at the bright pillar of light in the center of the sacred pool of the Sanin Grand Sanctuary, Doug elegantly arranged his robes in imitation of West's movements, and coughed softly to attract the attention of Gregory, who was contemplating next to the pool.

Fifian's magic skills were quite high-end, and not only did he quickly find Grigory's location, but the way the teleportation array was able to send Doug directly into the Sanin Sanctuary, and the way he appeared silently from the shadows was very much in line with Tutang Carmen's identity, and even if he was detected, it would not arouse suspicion - but the young sage was obviously engrossed in thinking about something, and he didn't notice it at all, which was a waste of effort.

"Who is it?"

Hearing the sound of coughing gently, Gregory was obviously taken aback, Huo Ran raised his head, although his reaction was not intense, there was already a bright light between the fingers under the sleeves of the priest's robe, and after seeing clearly that it was Tutang Carmen's peculiar outfit, his body relaxed a little, but the brightness between his fingers did not diminish at all: "Master Tutang Carmen, how did you get in?"

"The light shows me the way, and the shadow becomes my path. ”

Doug threw out a tricky sentence in an unfathomable manner, and the corners of his mouth were pulled out a little arc to make a mysterious smile: "Looks like you have something on your mind, young Ruler of Light?"

He kept smiling as he cautiously surveyed his surroundings, and fortunately, Gregory seemed to have removed the golden salt jars in order to think undisturbed.

Secretly relieved, he immediately signaled Fifian to stop transmitting protective magic.

Gregory's childish face was slightly sluggish, and there were some signs of overuse of his brain, and it seemed as if he had been thinking for a long time—could it be that this little boy had not slept all night, thinking about the secrets that Anagu II had told before he died?

"I am amazed by your power, Master Tutang Carmen. ”

Gregory smiled brightly, like a pure angel, and bowed slightly, but asked Doug what he meant: "Do you have anything to tell me when you step into the light-lit ground again from the shadows?"

He gently avoided Doug's previous question, as if he had never heard it, and the hand he was holding did not let go.

"Yes, kid. ”

Doug's voice was old and magnetic, and it sounded so good in the empty Great Chapel: "Yesterday's events were so shocking that I forgot something very important - I need you to do me a favor!"

"It's my pleasure to do something for you!"

Gregory's smile was even brighter, and he looked at Doug with childish eyes with a sincere gaze, waiting for his next step.

"Thank you very much, young Ruler of Light. ”

Doug nodded in satisfaction, "We have a force in our hands, and perhaps you have heard his name at one time - 'No One Lives'." ”

Gregory let out a very slight sigh, and when Doug cast a questioning gaze at the voice, his face was already calm, so fast that Doug thought it was a hallucination.

- 'No one lives forever'!

The smile on the childish face of the young sage froze slightly, and the fingers in his sleeves were pinched tighter.

All along, when he was looking through the top-secret materials that only the great sages of light could see, he was interested in a peculiarity in some ancient records: in those ancient texts, sometimes some extraordinary figures were mentioned, such as an emperor with a strong style and rejection of the Cult of the Radiant God, a powerful sacrifice of other gods, and so on, and after a simple record, there was such an inexplicable sentence: No one lives forever - He had always thought it was just the exclamations of his predecessors, until he had just said the name from the door of Tuthangka, and it dawned on him that the so-called 'no one lives forever' turned out to be the dark power in the hands of De Kopirivo!

Then the fate of those people in the record can be imagined.

"In the days of the struggle against darkness, this force was rapidly weakened and almost dying. Doug ignored him and continued his performance, slowing down his tone a little more, and his voice became deeper to express his 'pain': "But the darkness is already looming, and we don't have time to wait for the growth of new people—"

I see, this mysterious Tutang Carmen is here to ask for someone.

When Doug said this, Gregory knew his purpose in his heart, and the smile on his childish face slowly disappeared, and he frowned: "I see what you mean, Master Tutang Carmen." ”

His clear voice was calm and soft, "But I have no right to decide such a matter, and must be brought before the Council of Elders and await their judgment." ”

"Will the elders ......?"

Doug pretended to groan, seemingly thinking, but he didn't bother to think about it at all—this matter was a disguise, and although it was a pity that he didn't get it, he didn't have to pay too much attention to it.

"Yes, unlike what is recorded in the canon, the current Radiant God Cult, as a great sage, I am no longer an absolute leader, and important matters are decided by the Council of Elders. ”

Gregory stared at Doug with a childish face, as if inadvertently stating some common words.

...... Ha!

The corners of Doug's mouth turned up uncontrollably. The little kid's tentative intentions are too obvious, especially the eyes that look at him with almost naked hope! Even an idiot sees it, and knows that he is dissatisfied with this situation and wants to gain greater 'freedom'......

Wait!

The corner of his eye swept over Gregory's gorgeous priestly robes, and Doug's heart suddenly froze.

Being in the country of light sources, Wright, even if he used to believe in the god of war, he has heard a lot about some activities of the Radiant God Cult, and recently there are more and more people with bright talents, so the selection of the great sage of light is becoming more and more 'cruel', Gregory can stand out from it as a young man who has not yet reached the age to obtain this throne, it is by no means a simple person, even if it is limited to experience and will reveal some small flaws, it is impossible to hang everything on his face like this......

Then the answer is obvious, he is playing tricks - for example, he wants to make himself feel contemptuous, or from now on, he wants to solve the presbyterian council for him......

"Really...... Looks like I need to pay a visit to the Council of Elders. ”

Time was tight, and Doug didn't have time to play with him, and he was really a little afraid that he wouldn't be able to play with him - after all, he didn't have experience in the center of the power maelstrom - so he just followed his words and ended the topic: "By the way, where were the magic apprentices who came with me yesterday?"

"They are now receiving better treatment at my residence. ”

The disappointment in Gregory's eyes flickered slightly, and then he returned to his normal pure smile: "Master, do you want to see them?"

Treatment, I'm afraid, interrogation!

Doug secretly sneered, but nodded solemnly on the surface: "The darkness is about to fill, I have my own mission to complete!"
