Chapter 48: Darkness Descends

"Claude, you bastard, go underground and atone for your father's sins. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Bidia raised the dagger in her hand viciously, ready to cut at Meng Fan's neck.

At this moment, a black shadow shot out from the depths of the woods, "Zizizi..." Bidia in front of Meng Fan was hit by that dark shadow, only to see Bidia's hands and feet, and his face quickly began to rot, "Ahh

"Black, dark magic!" Tonal, the deputy head of the Flame Snake Mercenary Regiment, who was standing beside Meng Fan holding a torch, trembled and let out a voice, "Dark Magician, there are dark magicians here..."

"Whoosh, whoosh..." Several shadows shot from the depths of the forest, and all the mercenaries who fled were reduced to bones by the shadows.

Tonal pulled out the big knife in his waist, ready to kill Meng Fan and then escape from this forest, "Necromantic Entanglement" Several black vines drilled out of the ground and tightly tied Tonal who was holding the big knife.

"No..." Tonal's eyes widened in horror, the black vines sucked up Tonal's blood, and boom, only a skeleton of Tonal fell at Meng Fan's feet.

The forest became quiet, only the torches that fell from the ground were still burning, standing under a big tree, Meng Fan, who was bound by iron chains, was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

A slight footstep came from the woods in front of Meng Fan, Meng Fan looked at the woods blankly, and soon, a figure wrapped in a black robe walked out of the woods.

The man had his head covered in a black coverall, and in his hand he held a curved staff that was thick at the top and thin at the bottom. The black-robed man slowly walked in front of Meng Fan, and Meng Fan swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously.

When the two of them stood together, Meng Fan saw the face of the black-robed man clearly, this was a middle-aged man, a bloodless pale face, and what made Meng Fan most uneasy was the eyes of the black-robed man.

Blood red, that's right, the black-robed man's eyes glowed blood-red.

Standing in front of Meng Fan, the black-robed man tilted his head and stared at himself, without speaking or making any other movements, just staring at Meng Fan with those blood-red eyes, as if he wanted to see through Meng Fan's soul.

Meng Fan's legs trembled uncontrollably, leaning against the big tree behind him, Meng Fan tried his best not to collapse to the ground.

Finally, the black-robed man straightened his head, "Chatter..." A hoarse and ugly laugh came out of the black-robed man's mouth, "Lord Claude, it's an honor to see you here..."

The corpse at Meng Fan's feet staggered to his feet, this corpse was Tonal, the deputy head of the Flame Snake Mercenary Regiment, the resurrected undead untied the iron chains tied to Meng Fan's body, Meng Fan looked at the undead who unveiled the chains for himself, and his scalp was numb.

"Lord Claude, my name is Mar Saha, and I believe Master Claude already knows something about my profession. The black-robed man waved the staff in his hand again, and the undead beside Meng Fan lost their lives and fell to the ground again.

Meng Fan, who was untied, stared at the black-robed man in front of him, and Meng Fan could feel that this dark magician named Mar Saha was specially here for himself.

Early the next morning, thousands of soldiers from the territory of Coldwater City rushed to Viscount Simmons' manor under the leadership of Tiberius, along with Baron Albert and other nobles in Coldwater.

More than half of Simmons' manor had been burned to the ground, leaving hundreds of corpses in the manor, some of which were servants of the manor, some of whom were Meng Fan's guards, and some members of the Flame Snake Mercenary Regiment.

The soldiers, under the command of Tiberius, searched the burned manor and carried all those who died outside the manor to count them.

Meng Fan sat on a large stone outside the manor with a blanket. "Lord Claude, Viscount Simmons' family has all been killed..." Tiberius walked up to Meng Fan and reported.

Meng Fan raised his head, "Tiberius, issue an order to the two territories of Black Rock City and Cold Water City, and everyone related to the Flame Snake Mercenary Group will be arrested and interrogated strictly, and this gang of bastards must be found..." Meng Fan's eyes were filled with angry flames.

"Yes, sir. Tiberius nodded, "How many relatives does the previous lord of Coldwater City Kalia have?" Meng Fan asked, "My lord, the Chase family to which Kalia belongs has about thirty people in Coldwater City. Tiberius replied.

"More than thirty people..." Meng Fan said after a sentence, "Tiberius, get rid of all the people of the Chase family." Meng Fan looked up and said.

"Are they all cleared?, Master Claude?" asked Tiberius, "yes, if you don't leave any of them, you will kill them all." Meng Fan replied coldly. "Yes, Lord Claude. Tiberius saluted, then turned and beckoned an officer.

Several nobles from Coldwater City came up at this time, "Lord Claude, please believe us, we have nothing to do with this assassination..."

"I know, Albert, you are just as much of a revenge for Bidia as Simmons, and if you had stayed in this manor last night, I believe you would have been killed as much as Simmons. Meng Fan stood up from the stone.

"Thank you for your understanding, thank you for your understanding..." Albert and the others breathed a sigh of relief, the lord actually wanted to kill everyone in the family of the previous lord Kalia Chase , Albert and these nobles in Cold Water City were afraid that Meng Fan would also include himself in the list of those who were eliminated.

"Lord Claude, it's the incompetence of my subordinates who failed to protect you last night. Gruya, who had a bandage on his arm, stepped forward and bowed to Meng Fan to plead guilty. Last night, Gruya was entangled by Feltun, the leader of the Flame Snake Mercenary Group, and others and couldn't get out, while Meng Fan fled into the forest alone, and in the battle with Felton and others, Gruya was wounded in the arm.

"No, Gruja, you're doing a good job, if it weren't for you last night, I would have died in this manor. Meng Fan patted Gruya lightly on the shoulder and said with a grateful look.

"Lord Claude, I have ordered someone to go back to the city to capture the members of the Chase family. Tiberius returned to Meng Fan and said, "Well, that's good. Meng Fan nodded.

Tiberius's eyes looked at a black-robed man standing behind Meng Fan, when Tiberius arrived at this manor outside the city with his army today, Lord Claude was followed by a black-robed man, and Lord Claude said that this black-robed man named Mar Saha saved himself.

"Tiberius, is the carriage ready?" Meng Fan asked, "My lord, it's ready." Tiberius replied, "Well, then we'll go back to Blackstone now." After Meng Fan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the carriage parked on the side of the road.

As soon as he took two steps, Meng Fan seemed to remember something, "Tiberius, Phirina..." Meng Fan turned around, "Lord Claude, I have loaded Lady Philina's body into the carriage and handed it over to her family when I return to Black Rock City." Tiberius pointed to another carriage.

Meng Fan nodded silently, turned around and walked towards the carriage, and the dark mage Mar Saha followed Meng Fan into the carriage.
