The wooden door was violently pushed open, and a figure in a black mage's robe stood in the doorway without saying a word, his face covered by a low-hanging hood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info air seems to freeze at this moment.

Gu Yuan subconsciously quickly reached into his pocket, there was an iron dagger for self-defense, although combined with Carter's memory, it was a bit difficult to peel fruit.

Gripping the dagger tightly, the pain of muscle strain came from his hand.

Damn, the body hasn't fully recovered yet. The kung fu of those three-legged cats that I know will not work at all.

At this moment, Snow Thorn suddenly took a step forward and opened his arms to protect Gu Yuan behind him: "Not allowed...... Hurt the young master. ”

The sun shone through the roof on the girl's long silver-white hair, and the voice of Snow Thorn seemed to tremble with fear, Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stretched out his hand to drag Snow Thorn back behind him.

Gu Yuan glanced at the door, and his eyes were suddenly stunned at this moment-because the man in black standing at the door suddenly took off his hood, and under the hood was a shiny bald head, as well as a young facial features that were a little resolute and overwhelmed. Who are you?

"That...... Did you misunderstand something? The bald mage who suddenly broke in looked at the two heavily cloaked men in the room and said apologetically, "I thought there was no one in this dilapidated house. ”

The unfamiliar face is not from a nearby town, an alien mage......

Gu Yuan performed a noble etiquette in memory to the bald mage, hesitated for a moment and slowly took off the heavy cloak, anyway, he couldn't kill him, so he was seen wearing a cloak and not wearing a cloak There is not much difference: "I'm sorry." Mr. Mage, we were attacked by thieves last night, so that's why we ...... Makes you laugh. ”

"Attack? No, I was too reckless. Frightened you. The young mage scratched his bald head a little embarrassed and hurriedly returned the salute, if the teacher knew about what had just happened, I was afraid that he would laugh at himself again. "That...... I don't know what the names of the two are, my name is Leo, I am a second-level student of the Holy Grace Academy, a first-order intermediate magician of the elemental department, and I am now on a mercenary mission during the holidays, chasing a somewhat strange magical beast. That's why ......"

"It turned out to be a magician from the Holy Grace Academy, my name is Gu Yuan, and this is my maid - Ice Thorn. It's an honor to meet you, Master Leo. Gu Yuan looked at the Sacred Grace Academy badge that Leo took out, let go of the dagger he was holding tightly in his pocket, and replied with a smile.

Snow Thorn glanced at Gu Yuan suspiciously, and immediately understood what Gu Yuan meant when he wanted to hide his identity. It's just a little strange why the young master used Gu Yuan's somewhat strange name.

Saint Grace Academy, in my impression, is a college that trains combat professionals in the Northern Saint Grace City, and it is also one of the four major academies of the Dragonstone Empire where Gu Yuan is located, the tradition of Saint Grace Academy is that whenever students are promoted to the next year, they will group students to go to the mercenary union to register as mercenaries, take on some tasks that meet their own level, hone their actual combat ability and their respective cooperation, and of course, the bounty obtained also belongs to them, a bit similar to an internship on the earth.

This tradition is not mandatory, although there is a certain danger, but most civilian students participate, after all, studying in the School of Divine Grace, equipment, tuition, as well as various medicines, learning magic, and combat skills, are all a lot of money.

The bald mage named Leo in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he had already left the magic apprenticeship to become a full-fledged first-order intermediate mage, which was already considered excellent. The difference between a magic apprentice and a full-fledged magicianSome people who are not gifted may not be able to break through in their lifetime, and in this world, talent and bloodline are such cruel and ruthless things.

There is a clear hierarchy between combat professionals, and each level may be a chasm that some people will not be able to overcome in their lifetime. The first and second orders are rated by the mage guild all the way up to the ninth order, and after that, they are like legendary archmages, mages, archmagisers, realm powerhouses, and legendary demigods......

"Leo, why did you go for so long!" At this time, a girl's somewhat arrogant and strong voice came from outside the door, and she seemed to be a little dissatisfied. A petite girl with short fiery red hair, a beautiful face, and a small figure who looked to be no more than 14 years old rushed into the cabin. She was wearing a set of somewhat tight leather armor, and behind her was carrying a somewhat huge two-handed sword that stood off under her slender figure, and her brown eyes scanned Gu Yuan and Snow Thorn: "Leo, who are they?"

"Sister Tammy, don't be angry, the mission time limit has reached anyway. Behind her was a black-haired young man with a sickly pale face, messy hair like a bird's nest, and a black robe with heavy black circles: "Senior Leo, who are these two?"

Leo immediately explained the ins and outs of the matter and the attack on Gu Yuan and the two of them to the two of them, and introduced the two to Gu Yuan, the red-haired girl is named Amy, and like Leo, she is a second-level student of the Holy Grace Academy, and her profession is a first-order high-level warrior. Another young man named Raven Gu is a first-level student of the Holy Grace Academy, and he is a summoning mage apprentice.

Although Leo is medium in this team, he is the captain of this team. Not long ago, the mercenary union of their team in Black Furnace City, not far from here, received a task to kill a first-order demonic beast that suddenly appeared in the forest not long ago and attacked the inhabitants of many villages near the forest, the Land Walking Black Touch Beast.

A few people came to this forest for a few days, but the monster seemed to have wisdom and played hide and seek with a few people, and the monster always seemed to deliberately leave slime and secretions to make them go around in circles. Seeing that the deadline for the task had reached yesterday, several people were also very impatient at this time.

"Wise first-order demonic beasts?" Gu Yuan frowned slightly, generally speaking, the IQ of first-order demonic beasts was not much different from ordinary animals, and according to Carter's memory, there had never been first-order demonic beasts in this forest since he could remember, and the most ferocious animals were just adult wild boars or gray wolves deep in the forest. His heart grew a little uneasy.

"I can't say for sure yet, but it's something unusual. What is Mr. Gu Yuan going to do next, this forest is not very safe, I suggest that you hurry up to the nearby towns. Leo said, scratching his head

Gu Yuan smiled a little reluctantly at the three people in front of him and said, "There is a mage Laureo who cares, to be honest, we originally planned to go to the Holy See in the northern Aoguang City to test my divine talent, but yesterday I encountered that kind of thing, and there are demonic beasts in this forest, it is really unreassuring...... So I'd like to hire a couple to escort us to Black Furnace City first. ”

Gu Yuan pretended to have a somewhat painful expression on his face, "I can pay the commission...... 30 gold coins, the entrustment contract can wait until the Black Furnace City is making up for it. ”

Although the strength of these three people in front of him may not be enough in the face of the second-order spiritual mage Karn and the possible Aichvar family behind him, but because of their identity as the Holy Grace Academy tied to them, Karn will definitely be a little afraid even if he attacks himself.

When he arrived in Black Furnace City, he was taking a boat to Aoguang City, and he was almost completely free from the threat of his family. 30 gold coins is indeed a lot of expenditure for himself who only has 80 gold coins on his body now, but the money has to be alive to have a life to spend, Gu Yuan sighed secretly and observed the reactions of the few people in front of him.

Leo didn't speak, he looked at Tammy, the girl with the giant sword who was half-leaning against the wall, and the summoner Ragu, who was rubbing his bloodshot eyes, as if asking for their opinions. 30 gold coins, and in general, a first-order mercenary team like them has to take on two or three missions to get these rewards. It's just an escort mission, and the price is indeed very attractive, but although this Mr. Gu Yuan doesn't seem to be a bad person, he always feels a little suspicious.

"Senior Leo, you are the captain, you just decide. "The Ancient Way of the Raven

Tammy stared at Gu Yuan, there seemed to be a hint of doubt in his eyes, and he nodded at Leo but didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the wooden house.

"Then Mr. Gu Yuan, are we going now?" Leo gently touched his bald head and put his hood back on, okay, this thing rushed in with a hood to cover his bald head.

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, take a shortcut, go through the forest, okay. ”

"Absolutely, you are the employer. ”

"Then let's go, shall we?" Gu Yuan smiled at the snow thorn behind him

At the same time, in the mansion of the Aichvar family on the other side, a middle-aged man with a somewhat grim face sat on a somewhat shabby ebony chair, he flipped through a very shabby diary in his hand, and gradually he sighed and closed the diary gently.

His rough hands caressed the title page of the diary as gently as a lover, and the warmth in his eyes at the moment would have been astonished by the sight of anyone who knew this man who was almost a cold and ruthless man, the head of the Ehivar family, the Viscount de Las. I saw that on the title page of the diary was engraved a somewhat vague name, Bingyu, a name without a surname that undoubtedly belonged to a commoner woman. And this woman and her son were both considered disgraceful in the Aishivar family.

Of course, I am afraid that I would be ashamed to see them because I haven't read this diary, and if I have read this diary, I am afraid that I will ...... Afraid that he was also implicated in the contents, he was tied to the stake and burned to death by the Holy See. Drass suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, he had only found this diary a few days ago.

It revealed that the true identity of the journal's owner, the person she once loved the most, was a necromancer, and the forbidden ritual she performed on her child, her own son, at birth. And she was just a tool in her unfinished plan, and it probably didn't matter whether she loved her or hated her.

After a long time, Dellas finished stroking. He looked at the name in his journal and sighed. Muttered: "Ice Whisper ......" Flames rose from his hand, wrapping the diary tightly and slowly turning into ashes.

I don't know how long it was, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in. ”

Karn walked into the room, "Father, I have done what you have told me. ”

"Well, is that waste dead? ”

"He was oscillated by me with his soul and hit him in the head, but I didn't understand why I wanted to kill Carter......" Karn seemed to be a little puzzled by his father's behavior, and he had already been

Drass frowned, "Did I allow you to ask, and I asked you to kill him, and I saw his heart stop beating with my own eyes, are you sure he is dead?" ”

"I used a soul oscillation on him and left, but he was just an ordinary man and would definitely die. Karn looked down and shuddered

"Hmph. Dellas snorted coldly, "Take two servants, bring the corpse of that waste." ”

"But father, is it okay to be seen by the servant like this? You don't mean even the rest of the family...... Can't I even tell them, brothers? ”

"Only the dead keep secrets......"

"Got it......"
