The night in Lorraine is Leon's favorite moment.

When the hustle and bustle of the day has dissipated, the city reveals its unique charm, with the old stone buildings of the upper town standing in the darkness as if they were witnesses of history.

At this time, Leon would retreat from his guards and walk alone through the alleys of the high-gate compounds.

The law and order in the upper part of the city was good, there was not even a single homeless man, and the robbers and thieves were not stupid enough to attack the nobles casually, not to mention that Leon was wearing a cloak embroidered with a golden griffin, and ordinary people would only salute from a distance when they saw him, and they did not dare to come forward.

He thought he was enjoying the silence of the night as usual, but when he walked through a remote alley, he noticed two people at the end of the corner.

"Please, don't let my father know that he's going to beat me to death, what do you want? money or women? I can give it to you, as long as you keep it a secret. A crying voice whispered.

Leon felt the voice familiar, and he cast a concealment spell and moved slowly against the corner.

When he saw the scene in the darkness clearly, the whole person was surprised.

At the end of the alley, a young man dressed in aristocratic clothes knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and in front of him stood a person, very tall, shrouded in black robes, and his facial features were completely invisible.

The young man's well-dressed pants and sleeves were splashed with mud, but he didn't care at all, grabbing the corner of the black-robed man's clothes and begging for mercy, the black-robed man was holding something in his hand, and looked at him coldly, like looking at a dead man.

Leon subconsciously looked for the family crest on the nobleman's body, and saw a redbud pattern embroidered on his chest with a staff and a long sword crossed.

He rubbed his eyes and made sure that he was not mistaken, and his whole heart stopped beating, and his hands and feet were cold.

The Bauhinia is the symbol of the Duchy of Lorraine, the coat of arms of the Royal Knights is the sword and the bauhinia, the coat of arms of the Royal Mage Corps is the staff and the bauhinia, and the bauhinia pattern with the staff and the sword crossed belongs only to the royal family of Golion.

Leon finally recognized the man who knelt there, the third prince of the Duchy of Lorraine, Fahd Golion.

When Leon saw the object in the black-robed man's hand again, he had only one thought in his heart, and that was to run away quickly.

The black-robed man held a wooden statue of the Lord of Light in his hand.

Some time ago, Marquis Fonn assigned a mission to his son Billy to hunt down a mercenary group that appeared in the family fiefdom of Hankshire, and find a wooden statue of the Lord of Light from them.

Billy was excited, feeling that his father, who had never been waiting to see him, began to value him, and he immediately approached his brother Leon to discuss, but Leon's first reaction when he heard the news was strange.

The important things in the family, the father has always consulted with Leon instead of his playful brother, even if he wants to cultivate Billy, why not send it to the people in the family and let Billy figure it out on his own.

Despite these doubts, out of brotherly love, Leon helped Billy develop a detailed battle plan and used a lot of his own personal forces.

However, this chase ultimately failed because it did not take into account that Evans, the leader of the mercenary group, was a great knight.

The strange thing is that the Marquis of Forne ignored the whole thing, and Billy took the initiative to report to him several times, but he sent him away with a few words, meaning that you can do it yourself.

Leon later came to his senses, and his father didn't want to care about it at all, but for some reason, he had to show some gestures.

And now, in this eerie scene, Leon finally saw the wooden statue of the Lord of Light that he had heard so many times in the report.

He did not think it was a coincidence, there was never a coincidence between nobles.

There must be a big conspiracy behind this, and the secret in this abyss is not something that Leon can peep into.

Leon suppressed his horror and curiosity and prepared to leave, but despite his caution, his feet made a slight noise because of his nervousness.

The black-robed man turned his head to look this way.

In the next second, he slashed at the third prince's neck with a lightning-fast hand knife, and Fahe immediately fainted.

"Oops, found out. Leon pulled his leg and ran wildly, injecting his divine sense into the staff, swinging it vigorously behind him, shouting, "Angel coming!" A holy light illuminated the dark alley as if it were day.

Even in this moment of life and death, Leon is still thoughtful, with his strength, of course, he can't use the high-level magic of "Angel Descending", he uses the most rudimentary "Holy Light Illumination", just hoping to confuse his opponent and buy himself a few more seconds to escape.

However, this kind of cleverness does not work in front of a real master.

Leon subconsciously looked back, the alley was empty, and when he turned around again, a skeleton holding a big sword appeared five meters in front of him, staring at him with empty eyes.

"Necromancer?" Leon didn't have time to cast another spell, he raised his hand and slammed the staff in his hand into the skeleton in a knight's slashing position.

At that moment, a chill pressed against his back, and Leon could even hear the sound of a blade breaking through the wind, unable to turn back to defend himself as his attention was on the skeleton in front of him and his body leaned forward.

Leon closed his eyes in despair.

The blade of the "......" cut through Leon's clothes and pierced his intimate leather armor, but it turned a corner halfway and did not hurt him.

Leon couldn't believe it, and at the same time, the staff in his hand smashed the skeleton's head away, and with the huge force, the skeleton's body fell to the side of the road, making way for him.

Leon still wanted to escape, but there was no way back, because the black-robed man appeared in front of him.

The summoning of the undead, the assassination of the Dark Temple, and the shapeshifting of the dark magic, the man in front of him seems to have mastered all the dark spells, like the most experienced hunter in the forest, and Leon is the prey that trembles in the dark. He knew that there was no chance of victory, and he quickly thought of other ways to get out.

The black-robed man stopped moving, holding a half-cut cloak in his hand, and asked Leon coldly, "The child of the Foen family?"

Leon breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the headless griffin on his cloak.

"Yes, I am the second son of the Marquis of Forne, Leon Forne, my guards have gone back for help, you can kill me today, but you also have to bear the wrath of the griffin. ”

The black-robed man smiled, "I didn't feel the breath of other humans in the five hundred meters around, where are your guards, and they also used the same concealment spell as you?"

Seeing that the trick was recognized, Leon was silent, but he didn't have the panic before, since this person didn't kill the killer after recognizing his family crest, it means that he has an old relationship with the family.

"Curiosity kills cats, and even if you're from the Foen family, it's better to know some things. The black-robed man's words made Leon, who had thought he had picked up a life, frightened him again.
