Walking in the inner cloister of the Christie family's castle, you can see the knightly guards of the Christie family every short distance.

Surdak has been living in the castle of Ruit City lately, so he is not lost by the countless gates inside the castle, nor is he dazzled by the luxurious decoration inside, but the more he goes inside, the cooler Surdak's heart becomes.

Almost every gate is guarded by knights......

Surdak asks Karl about Darcy. When Christie was injured, this old friend was actually hesitant and kept answering questions.

Lady Mariana, who was with Carl, had even more red eyes, and her eyes were already swollen.

At the gate of the castle, Karl and Lady Mariana seemed to try their best to hide it, but when they entered the castle and passed through the gates, there were no servants in the castle, and they did not even say anything about Darcy's illness.

On the second floor, Surdak saw six magicians from the city of Highlandza, who were sitting in a small hall drinking hot tea, whispering some ideas about the drawing of the magic pattern, as if they were exchanging ideas.

There was no Lance among the magicians, but there were a few of Lance's friends.

Surdak wondered how there could be so many magicians in the Christie family's castle.

When he ascended to the third floor, there were actually two constructed swordsmen guarding the door, and when Surdak passed by them, although these two constructed swordsmen did not stop them, two pairs of sharp eyes kept staring at him.

Walking into the corridor on the third floor, Surdak could feel strong magical fluctuations emanating from the innermost room.

What Surdak didn't expect was that Scholar Ferdinand actually sat on a bench in the corridor to rest, Surdak was very familiar with this mage scholar who had been studying the magic subject of 'limb grafting' in the magic tower, and during the time he lived in Hylanza City, Scholar Ferdinand also gave Surdak a lot of help, but because he knew the living habits of this magician, Surdak knew that he rarely walked out of the magic tower.

I didn't expect to meet this magician again, but it was actually in the christi family's castle.

As if sensing someone watching, Scholar Ferdinand slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Surdak standing in front of him, he nodded to Surdak and said, "I thought you would arrive two days late, go in and see Darcy!" ”

"Scholar Ferdinand!" Surdak hurriedly habitually made a knightly salute to Scholar Ferdinand, who quickly stood up and returned the salute.

"You're already an earl now, and you're the Grand Lord of the Dry Cloth Plane, so you don't need to salute like this......" Scholar Ferdinand said, patting Surdak on the shoulder.

There was a hint of weariness in his voice.

Karl walked up and said to Scholar Ferdinand kindly, "Scholar, go and rest for a while!" ”

Facing Karl, Scholar Ferdinand said indifferently, "Wait a little longer, in half an hour, the Magic Pattern Array Gem Base needs to be replaced with a batch of magic crystals." ”

Hearing what Scholar Ferdinand said, Karl didn't say anything more, but pointed to the wooden door that exuded the aura of magic inside, and said, "Duck, you can go in, and Darcy is lying in the room inside." ”

Surdak turned his head to look at Lady Mariana, the woman with a slight bulge in her lower abdomen also gave Surdak an affirmative look.

Walking to the door, Surdak felt that the two guards at the door were even more unusual, they had a strong murderous aura on their bodies, just like officers who had just come down from the battlefield, and the momentum on their bodies was different from others.

The two of them set their eyes on Surdak's body, the magic badge on his chest......

Just when Surdak thought that he needed to say something, one of the swordsmen actually helped him push the door open, which was filled with a large amount of magical energy, and the moment he pushed the door, countless magical breaths poured out, making Surdak can't help but hold his breath.

Probably worried about the footsteps waking Darcy up. Christie, Surdak slowly walked into the room, but saw that there was only one large bed in the huge room, and the carpet around the big bed was covered with countless monster leathers, and each monster leather was almost tightly connected with some magic metal, and the strong magical aura was constantly generated because of these monster leathers.

The magic circles in the room took the shape of six-pointed stars, and on the sharp corners of each six-pointed star were a magician in black robes, and these magicians were using a wisp of mana to keep the circle moving.

And on the big bed, a Darcy wearing this white gauze dress, with her hands crossed on her chest, holding a lily in her hand. Christie, lying there with her eyes closed, the breath of life transformed by magic continued to pour into Darcy along the six magical chains. Christie's body.

Her face was as pale as paper......

I don't know if it's an illusion, Surdak can't feel Dashie. Christie's breath was accompanied by two Stygian coins on top of the cabinet next to the bed.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Surdak 'chuckled' in his heart, and a worst answer instantly came to his heart.

Darcy's body in front of him was like a broken sack full of holes, no matter how these six magicians manipulated the circle to Darcy. No amount of life breath injected into Christie's body could sustain her last breath at most, but it could not heal the slightest injury on his body.

Surdak walked in step by step, and Darcy. Christie's personal maid quickly stood up.

Without asking the maid about Darcy, Surdak walked over to Darcy's bedside and leaned over to touch Darcy's wrist.

Her wrists were as cold as ice, and there was no throbbing in her chest, and Surdak was more aware that what lay on the bed was just a well-preserved corpse.

"How long has she been dead?" Surdak didn't let go, and sat down beside Darcy.

The holy light in the palm of his hand poured into Da Qian's body, and it instantly dispersed.

"It's been six days!" The valet said helplessly.

Surdak's eyes became fierce, and he said to his personal maid, "Didn't you tell you to take care of her?" How did you encounter an assassin? ”

The maid stood aside, tears quickly welling up in her eyes.

"He didn't know how to hide in the carriage for a few days, and he was in charge of protecting ...... As soon as Erluo got out of the car, he suddenly burst out. The maid said in a choked voice.

Surdak sighed softly and asked, "Did she have any instructions when she left?" ”

The maid did not reply, but turned around and walked to the door of the room with some mechanical turn, and said to Karl and Mrs. Christie, who were waiting outside: "Baron Casment, Lady Mariana, please come in too, since Count Surdak has come, it is time to publish the last will......"

"Scholar Ferdinand, please prepare, contact the Sealing Circle in a quarter of an hour!"

Scholar Ferdinand sat on the bench with his eyes closed, his eyelids not twitching, and nodded.

The valet said again to the butler who was waiting in the corridor outside, "Please take Count Ryan, Count Piaro, and Viscount Duam...... Please, and Captain Davidson in the side hall outside......"

Surdak looked after the valet maid, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

Surdak didn't have to wait long before several important members of the Christie family came to the room, each of them followed by two constructors, their faces were very ugly, but there was a hint of schadenfreude between their eyebrows.

Several high-ranking generals of the Christie family lord's army also came to the room.

Just as the valet turned around, Surdak had a feeling of familiarity.

There were more than a dozen people standing in the originally empty room, which instantly made the bedroom look extremely crowded, and the personal maid actually walked slowly to the side of the big bed step by step under the gaze of everyone, and then lay down on Darcy silently. Christie's side with her head against Darcy. Christie's shoulders and hands on her chest. Front fold, double. His legs curled slightly, and then he closed his eyes.

Seeing the personal maid posing as if she was about to fall asleep, the Ferdinand scholar who was waiting on the side immediately stepped forward and replaced a magician and stood in the dominant position of the magic array.

Scholar Ferdinand began to chant incantations, and five other magicians followed him, and as the incantations were recited, the magic circles on the floor of the room began to light up one by one, and as the power of magic continued to be revealed, a circular birdcage appeared in front of Surdak's eyes, which was completely condensed by magical power.

This cage covers almost the entire room.

As the incantations were recited one after another, a portion of the magic gathered into the hands of Ferdinand Scholar, and then the magic began to slowly transform into a large transparent hand.

And this big transparent hand stretched out, and actually touched the body of the maid lying on the bed, and the big transparent hand slammed into her body and grabbed it.

Surdak already felt the big hand grasp a soul that was so faint that it was almost dissipating, and Surdak rubbed his eyes vigorously, because he could already see a clue in the outline of the soul.

When Scholar Ferdinand completely pulled out the soul of the personal maid, Surdak finally saw the phantom of the soul that was almost extinguished.

And the phantom floated on Darcy. Christie's body......

Surdak finally thought that Scholar Ferdinand had arranged a magic circle to seal the soul, which simply means that the soul of the deceased could be sealed into the magic space and released after a while.

The conditions required for this kind of magic sealing circle are very harsh, in addition to the magic pattern circle needs to be controlled by the magician 24 hours a day, the other point is that the container is needed to carry the soul, that is, the personal maid just now is just a vehicle, and just now her body contains Darcy's soul.

It's no wonder that when he speaks, Surdak always feels inexplicably familiar.

The Soul Phantom almost exactly coincided with Darcy's body, except that her body had completely ossified and her body could not move.

The phantom of Darcy's soul floated again, just above the bed.

Her gaze looked around with great nostalgia, and now everyone in the bedroom was looking at the remnants of the soul.

"Dark, thank you for being the first to come!"

The phantom of Nadacy was able to speak, and then said to the people in the room, "When I was in charge of Highlandsa, I failed to bring any changes to the city, nor did I revitalize the family, and I am sorry to disappoint you. ”

The voice of Darcy's soul was a little too calm, but Surdak knew that it was Darcy.

Lady Marianne tried to reach for her hand, but was empty.

"Darcy ......" hoarse voice, it was obvious that Lady Mariana's throat had been broken.

Surdak stood at the head of the bed and did not speak.

The weak soul fell beside Madame Mariana, almost in the face of Madame Mariana, and said:

"Auntie, don't cry, listen to me explain the last things......"

When Lady Mariana heard Darcy say this, she immediately shut her mouth.

Darcy. Christie's body lay on the bed, which gave Surdak a sense of unreality.

Darcy's gaze fell on Mariana. Mrs. Christie's slightly bulging lower abdomen turned to Surdak and said, "This is her and Carl's child. It's a pity that I couldn't see him born with my own eyes. ”

The phantom of the soul dimmed again, and she paused before pleading again to Surdak:

"After my death, I want David to become the Archon of Hylanza, but he hasn't been born yet, and he may not be able to serve as Archon of Hylanza until he becomes an adult, so, Duck...... Can you take over the city of Hylantha for me first? ”

Surdak looked stunned, he didn't expect Darcy to fasten the hat of Archon of Highlanza to his head.

As Surdak did not immediately agree, but hesitated for a moment, Darcy's soul phantom said again:

"It doesn't take long...... Just sixteen years. ”

Surdak broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden, will it take sixteen years? But seeing that Darcy was about to dissipate his soul, he didn't know how to refuse.

At this time, I heard Darcy's soul phantom continue: "When David completes the coming-of-age ceremony and can inherit the Christie family title, you will give him the power in his hand little by little, but these must be based on the eight virtues of knighthood in his possession......"

Seeing that Darcy's soul was already too weak to look good, Surdak could only nod his head and say:

"Well, I promise you that I will give him this city at his bar mig.

Darcy. A smile appeared on Christie's soulless face, and then she said to him, "I'm so lucky to have met you in this life!" ”

Then the Soul Phantom told Captain Davidson that he was to actively cooperate with Lord Surdak to stabilize the existing situation in Highlandsa City, and after sixteen years, he successfully handed over Highlandsa City and the Christie family to the children in Lady Mariana's womb.

With that said, Darcy. Christie's soul vanished in a magical curtain of light......
