Chapter 42: News
The fireplace burned and brought a touch of warmth to the whole room.
The first wise man of the Rannylord Empire, Anthony was sitting in a rocking chair in front of the fireplace, enjoying his leisure like an ordinary old man.
He had a piece of parchment in his hand, and he was covered with a thick spread, perhaps because he had been in the room for a long time, and his eyes were a little cloudy.
The door slowly opened, a gust of wind blew in, and Morrigan's figure appeared in the old man's gaze.
"Teacher!"
Morrigan was a little surprised, she knew very well what her teacher was doing like this, whenever her teacher, the first wise man of the empire, encountered intractable trouble, or faced a strong enemy, he always looked like this.
"What happened?"
The old man handed the parchment in his hand to the girl, and said slowly: "A month ago, the empire carried out a purge of the remnants of Badr, because the gray robe under His Majesty found the trace of a very important person, the former nurse of Duke Badr. ”
The girl hurriedly looked at the parchment in her hand, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Although the remnants of Badr are brave, they cannot withstand the double blow of the Empire's army and the gray robes. Of course, the nurse eventually committed suicide in order to protect the Duke of Badr. ”
When the old man said this, an intriguing smile appeared on his face: "Death is never the end, if Your Majesty wants to know something, even if it is a dead person, there is always a way to get those gray robes." ”
Due to the popularity of the Church, necromancy is one of the forbidden forms of magic to be studied and released in the North. The freer is guilty of blasphemy, does not need to be judged, and if discovered, is put to death by the Holy Kates of the Church.
The countries of the North, large and small, have laws prohibiting necromancy, but secretly, those kings always need the services of necromancers.
"Your Majesty has obtained the physical characteristics of this Duke of Badr, black hair and black eyes!"
Morrigan smiled suddenly, remembering Will's appearance just now, no wonder he was so generous, did he know that he couldn't hide it?
The old man didn't get to the bottom of Morrigan's strange expression, but he also smiled.
"We've all been tricked!
"Teacher, what should we do?"
"Do you know why this Duke of Badr is trying to assassinate our spy and stall for time?"
Morrigan was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it so?"
"That's right!" Anthony nodded and said, "The preliminary round is over, and the surrounding underground gambling games have been settled for the first time. In other words, our Duke of Badr has just received a large sum of gold!"
"It does fit his style!" Morrigan smiled, noncommittal.
"If this Duke of Badr is just greedy for money, then there is nothing, I am worried, what is he going to do with this money?
Morrigan understands his teacher's concerns, Romanov and Rannyrod are both great powers in the north, placed on the entire continent, and they are also a number of overlords.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the reason why the two have not fought now is because of the common threat of the orcs in the northern part of the Olympian Mountains.
No matter how powerful this Duke of Badr is, he is alone after all, and Anthony knows very well, who is Lennylord's enemy?
Linking the Duke of Badr with the Romanovs would be a big trouble for Lenilrod.
"Kill him!"
The old man's eyes were still cloudy, but his words were extremely cold.
"But this is the Nibelungen!"
Morrigan was a little agitated, and though she didn't know why, she knew that once her teacher had decided, she couldn't change it.
"I understand, so we don't have to do it!"
.......
In the dark of the night, the dark clouds were thick, and the moonlight could barely penetrate it.
Will was walking towards the Nibelungen at the moment, but he didn't realize that danger was quietly coming.
In the dense forest, a pair of fierce eyes were staring at Will, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.
Viserys, the once famous continent and a generation of young dragon trainers, has completely become a joke at this moment.
A big joke!
The reason why Viserys agreed to Anthony was not only because of Anthony's generous payment, but also because of his hatred, his bitter hatred for Will.
Just watching Will lead the dragon to appear on the playing field, Viserys had an irrepressible anger rushing from his chest to his head.
He was furious, and even without Anthony, he would eventually find Will.
The world thinks that Viserys is a dragon trainer and a hero, but they ignore what he really looks like behind this glory.
Viserys was an adventurer and an assassin who was well-versed in stealth. He once killed eleven of his companions in order to obtain dragon eggs excavated from ancient monuments.
Following the hints of the frescoes in the monuments, he hatched the dragon, raised it, and obtained a way to control it.
For years, he had to endure great pain every day in order to receive the glory behind the title of Dragon Trainer.
But now all of this is in a quagmire because of the man in front of him.
Fortunately, the prime minister of the Rannylord Empire offered a huge price to make up for Viserys's shortcomings.
Will was getting closer, and Viserys gripped the poisoned dagger in his hand.
No matter how powerful a magician is, his body is also fragile, and the poison on the dagger is enough to make a person die in three seconds.
A swipe.
Viserys's body sprang out of the trees, drawing a straight line in the air, heading straight for the back of Will's head.
If this blow hits, Will will die.
However, as long as this blow hits, the book can end.
At the critical moment, a dark shadow stopped in front of Viserys.
With his familiar skills and agility, Viserys was sure that the man in black who stopped him was also an assassin, and an assassin who was not weaker than himself.
The assassin behind Will quickly got caught up and got into a fight with Viserys.
Will turned, and unconsciously there was an old woman dressed in peasant clothes beside him.
"How?"
The old woman narrowed her eyes, looked at the two black shadows fighting in the night, and examined them carefully.
"Indeed, he has the breath of Osiris' necromantic magic in him. It's faint, but I can feel it now. ”
"Really?" Will smiled, his eyes narrowing.
In the darkness of the night, Viserys was shocked by the arrival of another Assassin, and Twin Jacks joined forces to flank him, and Viserys was soon defeated, engulfed in darkness!
