Asa pointed to the old priest and stammered, "You....you're not dead?"

"You died, I didn't die. The old priest glared at Asa with those black and white eyes, and spat on it.

"I....I'll also say that I'm back to avenge you....." Asa didn't know whether he was surprised or delighted. Although the appearance looked completely different, the tone and voice of the old priest, as well as the gestures, and most importantly, the special magical aura that he felt when he broke through the wall, this old priest was clearly Sandru. As for the face, Asa knew it must be another mask. This old man has always had a lot of tricks.

"I can't believe you're so righteous. Then if you are killed in the future, I will avenge you. Sandru smiled and reached out to remove a lifelike mask from his face, revealing a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar. In order to put on this mask, he had to get rid of his beard, it turned out that there were not many wrinkles on his face after removing the beard, and it was not very old. He shouted into the hallway, "Come in, everybody." ”

How ugly the duke's face was, how ugly it was. Although neither Asa nor Sandru was on guard, the sword in his hand never moved. It's not that he doesn't dare, but his fighting spirit is gone.

The aura storm in the hallway had subsided, and vanished as suddenly as it had appeared. Captain Roland straightened up, his sword unsheathed. At this time, others could find that his forehead was already full of sweat, and he was even a little tired. He didn't seem to be a living person when he bent down to draw his sword and didn't draw it.

Captain Roland glanced back at the corner and sighed with difficulty, as if he had just finished a hundred-mile run. He didn't speak, but walked straight into the room. There was a rattling sound under his feet as he walked, and the marble floor where he stood had shattered at some point.

There was a sound of footsteps around the corner behind Captain Roland, and a tall, cold figure appeared from there. Although he had long known that the person who could exude such an aura would only be, and it could only be, but seeing this person appear with his own eyes, the duke's last hope of struggle was completely shattered. It was Cedros' friend, Gru.

Captain Roland walked into the study, nodded to Sandru and Rodhart, then looked at Asa and finally at the Duke. There was no expression on his face, and there was no sparkle in his eyes. But the duke's expression had already begun to crumble.

Until this time, the guards who should have been swarming outside still did not appear, and the surroundings were still quiet. The Duke's ingenuity was enough for him to understand what it all portended.

Gru also walked into the study. He didn't look at anyone, his eyes first fell coldly on Captain Roland, and asked, "I gave you the opportunity to draw your sword at the end just now, why didn't you pull it out?"

"Because it's not necessary. Captain Roland replied lightly. His hand had already let go of the sword, but now he held it again. But instead of looking at Gru, he glanced around.

"Don't you want to try?" Gru's eyes fell on the sword at Captain Roland's waist, and two black flames flashed in his dark and bottomless eyes.

Captain Roland glanced back at him faintly, still in a very flat voice: "I don't want to." ”

Gru's eyes swept across the faces of Asa, Rodhart, and Captain Roland, but not at the Duke. Then he looked at Sandru, and suddenly asked coldly, "You said that everyone here is on the same road?"

"I guess so. Sandru nodded.

"What about this man. Gru's voice was already murderous. But his eyes weren't looking at anyone, but at the bookcase next to him. His eyes suddenly sharpened, as if the wooden shelf full of books was more lethal than Captain Roland. "You haven't come out yet, do you want everyone here to ask for you?"

Everyone looked there, but it was clearly just a bookcase. Asa and Rodhart, and even Sandru's expressions were a little stunned. Only the expression of the head of Roland did not change, and his hand was always on the sword.

"Old ......" let out a strange sigh, and under everyone's gaze, a figure separated from nothing from the bookcase.

Everyone's faces changed except for General Gru and Commander Roland, especially the Duke and Asa.

Although this study is not small, it is not large, and the furnishings are not complicated, even if a cat wants to hide without being discovered, it is impossible. Moreover, in order to keep secret, the duke's study naturally has no windows or even ventilation vents. That is, this person has been here since the beginning. The actions and words of the Duke and Asa were all in his view.

It wasn't until the man left the bookcase that everyone noticed that the shadows in the corners of the bookcase had faded a little. He had just become one with that little bit of darkness. Even if you look at him, you won't pay attention to him at all, and even Captain Roland only has a little feeling, only Gru notices.

"It's really old...... I was noticed by two people....and was found..."The man's voice was strange, but it could also be heard full of frustration. It was a man wrapped in a black bodysuit, with a very thin figure and a golden skull mask on his face. Even if he appeared like this, it seemed as if he had been in a hazy shadow, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman, old or young.

Asa's face changed. He'd heard and seen the strange sounds and masks, and the two necromancers who had hunted him down had done so. But their masks were all silver, and this man was dark gold.

But Sandru seemed to be more surprised than Asa, and his expression was as strange as Asa had when he saw him, and he pointed at the man and stammered, "It's you? What are you doing here?"

The man looked at Sandru, his eyes completely hidden in a shadow by his dark golden mask, and he could only hear the bland taste in his tone: "I heard that you died, and I came to help you collect your body." But it seems like I've been lying down for nothing....."

Sandru's expression was very strange, as if he was a little happy and a little embarrassed, completely lacking the usual calmness, and even speaking was a little unnatural: "Thank you for caring about me....."

"I didn't care about you. It's just that you care about the things you take with you. What if you die and are taken back by those people in the guild? The man floated to the door of the study. "Since you're not dead, I'll go back. ”

"Stop. Gru and Captain Roland spoke at the same time. The two of them moved in unison, one left and one right, and stood at the door. The light in their eyes was like the tip of a needle, and they all pierced this man.

The man immediately stopped moving. Not because he was obedient, but because he couldn't move.

There didn't seem to be any earth-shattering changes in the study, and it was still unusually quiet, but Rodhart suddenly fell to his knees. His forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he looked at the three people at the door of the study with a pale face.

Asa was still standing, but a cold sweat began to form on his forehead.

If the confrontation between Gru and Captain Roland just now was a storm, then the breath that these two people joined forces to fill this study room is a pot of molten steel. It seems to be calm, but the flavor is dozens of times thicker and hotter. With almost every breath, you can feel your lungs twitch under the pressure of this momentum.

"What are you doing? Sandru glared at Gru and Captain Roland, and shouted.

"I guess you'd better explain. Captain Roland ignored Sandru and kept looking at this man with a sword in his eyes. Asked lightly. "If you're really looking for Mr. Sandru, then why do you keep lurking here? And if I'm not mistaken, this mask probably means that you are a member of the Necronomic Guild. If you don't prove that you're not a potential enemy of us, you can't go. ”

Gru didn't speak. That's what Captain Roland meant. Even if they could be on their own, the lives of their monarchs and friends would only be in danger at the hands of such a stealth man.

Now is undoubtedly the best time to kill such a dangerous person in a two-to-one situation. Both Gru and Captain Roland understand this.

"Don't go too far. Sandru's eyes widened, and the sudden glow fell on Gru and Captain Roland. The momentum of the two of them immediately fluctuated slightly, and taking advantage of this opportunity, this person just flashed and floated into the corridor, and then the next moment he actually melted into the corridor environment like the most acute chameleon and disappeared. Only one sentence was left that gradually faded away: "..... rest assured, I have long been too lazy to be anyone's enemy." I'm just hiding here because I want to help this kid save his life. ”

Captain Roland didn't catch up, sighed, and turned his head to look at Sandru: "I'm sorry." This man is just too dangerous. If there is a possibility that he is our enemy......"

Sandru's eyes and expression also returned to their usual appearance, and he was even a little disheartened, sighing and muttering, "Don't worry." He, like me, has long lost interest in your conspiracy and bullshit. Maybe this time I really just came to collect the body. ”

Gru turned to Asa and said, "I didn't come in just now because I noticed that there seemed to be someone here. I've never been able to figure out whether it's friend or foe, so it's hard to make a move. Only let you figure out how to do it first, and then I'll wait for the opportunity to move. But you can't imagine that he was also going to help you," he smiled, a rare smile. "Your business seems to have been at a loss this time, and it turned out to be in vain to spend so much effort to convince us to help you. Even if you just go back to the royal capital by yourself, there is absolutely no danger. There are so many people waiting to help you. ”

Asa breathed a long sigh of relief, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not a loss, at least my goal seems to have been achieved." ”

Gru said lightly, "I don't care what your purpose is. But since you are not dead, you must do what you promised us. ”

"Don't worry, I'll never pay my bills. Asa smiled wryly. "Especially because of your favors. ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with me here. I'm going to get the bipedal wyvern back first. Gru gave the Duke a cold look, and dropped a sentence even more coldly. "Anyway, I don't think this person will survive. ”

With this sentence, all the spirits of the Duke completely collapsed.

It wasn't that he wasn't unaware of his death. When Sandru and Captain Roland appeared together, and Gru also appeared, he already knew that he had no room to turn over. Death is inevitable. What he can't accept is failure, and it's such a complete mess that it's inexplicable.

A few years ago, he still felt that he was the master of this world, and everyone was at the mercy of his mastery. But it was only after a few minutes that he realized that it was he who was mastered and manipulated. Just now he just stayed here, watching these people talk and discuss, and almost no one looked at him. It was Gru's last sentence that made it clear that he was no longer relevant in the eyes of the victors, no different from a dead man.

If this failure is just luck, or an occasional oversight. Captain Roland only saw his flaw in a coincidence, the old necromancer was just lucky to have escaped death, or the appearance of Gru and that mysterious figure was indeed unexpected, and he would have been much better off if any of these led to his own failure. Unfortunately, this is not the case, everything that happens here can be seen by anyone that it is not a coincidence, it is all planned and arranged.

Your own arrangement is just one part of someone else's arrangement. After so many years of strategizing, in the end, he just arranged a supporting role for himself as a failed clown. The spirit of the Duke is no longer something that can be summed up in words like pain and despair.

The Duke sat down slowly and weakly, and everything he saw in his eyes now, including this Duke's Palace, everything began to crumble, erode, collapse, and die. He muttered in the weakest voice of his life, "Why is it so quiet around?"

Until now, the surroundings were still so quiet, not only the royal guards outside, but even all the subordinates in the duke's palace did not appear. It seems to have suddenly become a haunted house.

"They have all left, on your orders, Lord Duke. Rodhart replied. His voice was still so polite, courteous, and concise. "I told them that the Duke and the Grand Master Roland were to interrogate the prisoners, and that they were not to come near and disturb them. ”

The duke closed his eyes and nodded slowly: "Then you just wait outside, wait for me to say as much as I can to this kid who I think is the only way to die, and then come in and release him?"

"Yes. Rodhart nodded.

The Duke let out a long sigh and fell silent. He didn't want to fight and struggle at all. Although he was by no means a weakling, there were two of the best strong men here, and he didn't want to struggle twice in vain like a dog and then be held down and slaughtered. What's more, his fighting spirit has long collapsed, and there is not even a scum left.

Captain Roland and Rodhart watched the Duke silently without saying a word. Sandru was thoughtful, as if his mind was not here at all. And Asa didn't say anything, he knew that he didn't need to say anything now.

After a while, the duke opened his eyes with great difficulty, looked at the head of Roland, and said, "I just want to know something now, you tell me, okay?"

"Say it. Captain Roland nodded, he knew from the Duke's eyes that this man had completely collapsed.

"Why are you and this necromancer together? There were thousands of people who saw you fight, at least I could see that the battle was not a show, and you also killed more than fifty members of the group, why were you able to get together against me later?"

"What you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth. Isn't it? like you let the people at the Academy of Magic see the murderer. ”

On that day, in the big house.

"I've never liked either. Captain Roland's wrist flicked, and the humming of that longsword filled every inch of the room. "Let's get down to business. He looked at Sandru and asked, "Who are you?"

"You're here to kill me without even knowing who I am?" Sandru looked a little crying and laughing, he frowned and thought about it. "But since you're here to trouble me, what's wrong? Doesn't Ronis know you're here?"

"Bishop Ronis has been assassinated. Captain Roland looked into Sandru's eyes.

"What. Sandru's body shook, and even the condensed mana was completely dissipated due to the confusion of his mind. "How is this possible...... ”

This reflection has clearly proved the conjecture of Captain Roland. Such a shock will not be faked, and it is better to actively disperse the magic in a confrontation with him than to send the neck directly to the sword. So the head of Roland put away his sword and said, "Hundreds of people have seen that the murderer is the priest who lives in your place. There was also a wanted warrant signed by Bishop Ronis himself, stating that the priest was a spy of the Necromantic Guild. ”

Sandru has not yet recovered from this shock. The head of the Paladins appeared here and cost the lives of three members of the regiment first, not just to tell a lie. He shook his head repeatedly: "It can't be....it can't be him... Besides, that kid couldn't kill Ronis at all. ”

"I don't think it's possible. And judging from the wounds on the bishop's body and the situation at the time, it is indeed suspicious. I suspect it's a trap......"

"Then why don't you go to investigate, and instead come to me for trouble?" Sandru's voice was already angry.

"Hundreds of eyewitnesses, wanted warrants written by His Excellency Bishop. Such evidence is no longer refutable by witnesses. Even if it's a trap, there's no room for evasion. You are suspected by everyone of being a necromancer, and His Majesty the Emperor has ordered me to kill any necromancer. So even if I have any doubts, there's no reason why I shouldn't follow orders. Captain Roland reached into his arms, but pulled out a teleportation scroll. "Although I have never heard Bishop Ronis mention you, but the reaction of Bishop Ronis during the previous necromancer incident, as well as your reflection just now, I have enough reason to believe that although you are a necromancer, you should have an extraordinary relationship with Bishop Ronis. Now only the two of us join forces to have a chance to uncover the truth. This is the teleportation scroll of the Academy of Magic, and there is no one there now. You hide for a while, and then we'll be in touch privately. ”

"There's no need to hide. Sandru took the scroll, turned and went into the back room and took out a mask, and with a shaved hand on his face, all his beard fell, and then he put on the mask, and suddenly became a completely different looking person.

"It's best to summon a few zombie skeletons and let me kill them, so it's less suspicious. Captain Roland reminded Sandru. "It would be better if you could dress up a corpse of your own. There are a lot of people out there, and it may be more convenient for us to see you fight with me and then be killed. ”

"Okay. Sandru nodded. "But you have to be careful not to get killed. ”
