Chapter 21: Night I

"What's wrong with you?!" said Rodrith with an anxious expression.

"It turned out to be a dream...... "Filin opened his eyes with difficulty, and his tone was extremely weak.

A green glow glowed from Evan's hand, calming him down.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Ellie asked worriedly.

The scene of "Na ......" Snow City is still floating in Film's mind.

Filin covered his sore head, leaned his back against the head of the bed, and asked, "Is Loras, awake?"

"I was awake, but I was invited to the prison early in the morning by the town's guards, saying that I had asked Loras to identify the troublesome knights. ”

Rodrith handed the Shadow Blade to Firin's hand and said, "No, the dagger will be returned to you, but don't do anything to hurt your companions again!" the magic apprentice looked a little excited.

"I don't know...... Sometimes it gives me more power than I ever imagined. Fei Lin looked at the shadow blade in his hand, the surface of the dagger was smooth and bright, no different from an ordinary weapon.

"Telling someone the details of what happened might help you. With a soft smile, Evan said to Filin.

Fei Lin swallowed and described what happened to him from beginning to end.

Evan didn't make a sound, but frowned and fell into deep thought. Then he raised his head and looked directly into Filin's eyes, with a strange expression.

"It seems that it all started with that golden coat of arms, where is it now?" said Aven's voice was a little hoarse.

Hearing this, Filin removed the coat of arms from his neck and placed it in the hands of the court magician.

Rodrith and Ellie sat quietly on the sidelines, while Evan focused on the engraving on the surface of the coat of arms.

"If one remembers correctly, the pattern of this dagger is the emblem of the Knights of Shadow. Filmin was taken aback.

He couldn't help but think of the scene in his dream: the pitch-black war horse snorted, and the Shadow Knight, dressed in a black robe, galloped on the battlefield under the Wind and Snow City, the spear in his hand revealing a little cold.

"How did it get into your hands?" said Aven's eyes, too, with surprise in his eyes.

"I got it by accident when I was flipping through a book at the Spire. Filin's explanation surprised Evan even more. Rodlis was also interested at this time, and leaned closer to see the true face of the coat of arms.

"Look around this dagger, it looks like a pentagram. Pointing to the edge of the coat of arms, Rodlis spoke of his findings.

"Hmm, is thisβ€”" A terrible thought welled up in Aven's mind.

"Someone has never seen a magic array made of pentagrams. Although Ai Wen said that he had said it lightly, it was like pressing down a boulder in his heart, making him breathless.

The pentagram was originally the emblem of the Merlin family, symbolizing all things and mysteries. Before the Fisdal family became the most prominent magic family in the continent, the magic of the Merlin family was once very prosperous, and it was said that the strongest person in the family even had the ability to control dragons!

It's just that this huge family gradually disappeared in the early days of the establishment of the Titan Empire, and then there was the rise of the Fisdal family.

No one wants to explore the reasons for the decline of the Merlin family, because in the eyes of the world, 'Merlin' is synonymous with destruction. The dark magic that has been inherited in the family is a lingering nightmare for the rest of the magicians.

Dark magic has been strongly resisted by the Magic Guild because of its terrifying destructive power, and magicians who secretly practice this type of magic will be blacklisted by the Magic Guild.

The terrifying nature of dark magic is not only the powerful individual combat power, but also the blessing of various negative buffs, which makes the strong people of the same level often suffer when they encounter the magicians of the Merlin clan.

The old man showed an eager expression and asked, "Where is that book now?!"

"I put it in my bag before, and I'm afraid it will fall in the graveyard. ”

I didn't have time to read it properly, but I lost it. There was some regret in Filin's heart.

"Filin, do you mean this book?" Ellie suddenly got up and walked to the next door, and after a while returned to her room, holding an old book in her hand.

"Yes, this is it, how can it be with you?" said Film.

"It was found by Rodrith in your room, and it is assumed that the previous guest had forgotten it here, so he kept it with me for the time being. Ellie handed the book to the court magician and explained to Firin.

"This is β€”β€”?" Ai Wen saw the four flowery characters on the cover, and his expression became a little more solemn.

"Is there something wrong with Lord Aven?" Filin hurriedly asked.

This was the notebook that the Assassin carried with him, which recorded the thoughts and experiences of his master. Evan calmed down and explained slowly.

"Assassin?" Rodrith was curious about the new term.

"Assassins are a lesser-known profession that is extremely agile and responsible for gathering information of all kinds. The court magician gently stroked the yellowed bookcase, as if to bring back memories of the past.

Assassins usually do not engage their enemies head-on, but rather hide in the shadows. When the enemy lets his guard down, he delivers a fatal blow from behind. Although they do not have the advantage of strength, they are experts in concealing their aura.

Born as a shadow, killing people invisibly.

At this time, when Evan saw the author's name, his heart moved slightly, and he said, "Edward Vorvy is the first leader of the Shadow Knights. As he spoke, he turned the first page, and the portrait was displayed in front of the four of them.

Seeing the man in the painting again, Fei Lin couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

"The coat of arms was originally worn on the chest of the portrait man, but before I knew it, it appeared in my hand and became real!" Evan glanced at Filmin in disbelief, he couldn't have believed this nonsense if he hadn't seen the other party's anxious look.

"Is this man named Edward a friend of Brandon the Silver Flash?" said Film, recalling his stay in the study, trying to confirm his suspicions.

"The overall strength of the Shadow Knights is at the top of the three major knights, and it was an alliance force before the founding of the Titan Empire. Edward was the supreme ruler of Shadow Isle at the time, and he was not only powerful, but also extremely intelligent, and had great prestige in the army. Ignoring Filin's question, Evan continued to tell the story of eighty years ago.

"How could he be a knight if he was an Assassin?" asked Filin, puzzled.

"At the age of sixteen, Edward joined the Brotherhood under the tutelage of Saladin, the Shadow Dancer. Later, with the help of his best friend Brandon, he killed the ruler of Shadow Island at the time and replaced him. The court magician paused at this, and was very satisfied with the reaction of the three of them.

"Edward gathered a group of the best warriors of the Shadow Isle, reorganized them, and named them the Shadow Knights. ”

"We are born to be shadows, and we should be fearless!" Edward's roar under the Snowstorm City was already deeply imprinted in Film's mind.

Aiwen's dull voice echoed in the room for a long time, and the three of them were still immersed in Aiwen's words, and they didn't make a sound for a long time.

The Brotherhood was the official organization of the Assassins, similar in nature to the Magician's Guild, but on a much smaller scale. Not only are the members of the Brotherhood mysterious, but even the location of the headquarters remains a mystery.

"So, this is Edward's own Assassin notes?" asked Filin, looking intently into the eyes of the man in the painting.

Evan nodded in agreement, and didn't seem to have any intention of turning the next page. "Without the consent of the original owner, it is better not to peek without permission. With that, he closed the book.

"Lord Aven, I've been having strange dreams ever since I got this book. Filin said with a haggard face.

"Oh? ”
