From the time Mars uttered the angel to the time he said those words and walked out of the pillar of light, the courtyard fell silent.

Even the dark shadow who had come to rescue Mars did not say anything to break the silence, just stared at the crowd in the air.

It didn't take long for Mars to suddenly snort, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth for no reason.

When everyone saw this scene, they were all slightly stunned.

Immediately after that, they saw that the golden armor on Mars's body began to tremble, constantly switching between the virtual and the real, and the divine light on the armor dimmed little by little.

The same was true of the sword, which dimmed as fast as it could, and finally dissipated into the air with bits of starlight.

The two pairs of wings on the back also changed, and the white feathers fell off one by one, and in the blink of an eye, they all disappeared.

Leo stared at all this, raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the spell failed? โ€

Although I don't want to admit it, for a priest of Mars's level, the probability of failure is definitely less than one percent when he casts the Divine Technique of Light.

However, the scene in front of him seems to be explained only by the failure of the spell.

Feeling that Mars's aura was constantly weakening, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to return to the level just now, Leo and Arlen's hearts were relieved, and the black shadow was under double pressure.

"Bastard...... Who are you, and why do you make the angels I summon so afraid?"

Suddenly, Mars roared at Leo with a hideous look, his eyes full of disbelief, and then he rushed at Leo like crazy.

"Howard, you're crazy!" Seeing that Mars had weakened and rushed towards Leo, the black shadow was so angry that he cursed angrily in the air, and then stretched out his hand to create a wall of mana to block Mars.

Bang!

Mars slammed directly into the mana wall with a muffled sound, but because his body was monster-level strong, he was not injured.

The knock had made him sober up a lot.

He raised his head, and his cold gaze swept to Leo not far away, his eyes flashing with undisguised killing intent.

"Leo Kinus, the next time we meet, I will definitely drain the blood from your body, and then study your identity carefully. โ€

With that, Mars turned around and wanted to leave.

Leo raised his foot and wanted to chase after him, but the black shadow in the air waved his hand violently, and the wall of mana moved sideways in an instant, blocking Leo in front of him.

The black shadow's mana was very strong, and the wall in front of Leo was also very hard, and Leo couldn't shake it even if he slashed dozens of swords when he lifted the Sword of Perpetual Freeze.

"Don't want to leave!" and on the other side, seeing that Mars wanted to leave, he shouted loudly, and performed an extremely ghostly body technique, bypassing the black shadow in front of him in an instant, and appeared behind Mars.

"Damn boy, dare to ignore me!" the black shadow was furious, and pointed out at Aaron's back, a rich and deep black light shot out from his fingertips, only to hear a sound of breaking the air, Aaron's figure was stunned, and the black light penetrated his chest from behind him, leaving a finger-thick blood hole.

There was such a momentary pause, Mars sneered, and the figure jumped up and disappeared into the night, and when Aaron tried to chase after him, there was no trace of him.

"No!" Aryan clenched his fists and turned around sharply, a cold killing intent appeared in his eyes, and the sword let out a soft roar, and suddenly rolled up a storm.

"Hehe, you know how good I am, right? Now you want to kill me, it's too late!"

In the face of his explosive killing intent and fighting spirit, the black shadow smiled disdainfully, the light in his hand lit up, and a staff like dead wood appeared, and the staff flicked in the void, and suddenly opened a portal.

"Die!" Aryan roared, slashing his sword at the portal, and a sword aura mixed with a violent storm roared and tore through the void, landing on the portal with a thud.

However, by the time the smoke cleared, only a white fragment of clothing had fallen from the air, and the black shadow had already left through the portal.

Thump!

Seeing this scene, Yalian's face turned pale, he fell to his knees, his face showed shame, his arm flung to the side, and the sharp sword suddenly shot out, and pierced into the wall of the courtyard with a bang.

"I let Mars run away......"

Buzz โ€“

With a soft sound, as the black shadow left, the wall of mana that trapped Leo slowly dissipated, and he glanced at Aryan who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked in the direction where Mars had disappeared, his eyes flickering slightly.

"System, has the tracker been released?" Leo asked the system in his mind, and when he was trapped by the black shadow with a mana wall, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering what he had done when he was at the bottom of the sea, and redeemed the tracker from the system.

"Report to the host, the tracker has been placed, consuming fifty hero points. Leo was quick to answer, and a map of Atlanta was presented to his mind.

Three points of light, two red and one white, flickered lightly on the map, and Leo knew that the white dot on it was himself, and the red dot that was very close to the white dot was Mars who had just escaped.

To Leo's surprise, the red dot representing Ekmund wasn't far away from him at this time.

"I remember that before I went to Dragon Island, this guy was in the territory of the Feron Kingdom, how did he run to the territory of the Stewart Kingdom all of a sudden. Leo frowned, he hadn't forgotten that Ekmund was also an undead, or a very powerful one, now that the undead were raging, Ekmund appeared Stewart, could it be that he led the army of undead to attack behind him?

After thinking for a while, Leo didn't think much about it, and focused on the red dot that represented Maas, after all, even if Akmund led a large army to raid, Stewart's national strength was enough to deal with it calmly.

However, his face soon became unpleasant, because Mars had actually left the range of Narsus in just a few minutes and walked south.

In that case, he would have no chance of helping Laurien recapture Mars.

But......

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Leo's eyes.

With Mars' position, the next time Leo meets him, it will be the time to have the strength to compete with him.

When the time comes, Leo will fulfill his promise and kill him.

At this moment, a figure hurriedly arrived, his eyes swept over the courtyard, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Mars?"

Laurion is finally here.

But at this time, it's useless.

Leo glanced at Arryn, who was kneeling on the ground, and the guards who had long been knocked down by the aftermath of the dark shadow's spell, sighed, and walked over to Laurien, telling him everything that had just happened.

As he spoke, Aaron also got up from the ground, bowed his head, and walked in silence to Laurien.

"Your Highness Laurien, Aaron has done a bad job and let the prisoner go, and he is willing to accept all punishments!"

Laurien was originally a little angry, but after hearing Aron's words, he immediately calmed down again.

Although Maas's escape had something to do with Aaron, it wasn't much to do with him, not even as big as him.

This is obviously a planned rescue operation, and the real key is the black-robed assassin who stopped him, if it weren't for Laurien being restrained, even if there were two more people like the Black Shadow, they would definitely not be able to save Mars.

If anything, Laurien felt that he was most responsible.

So Laurien sighed, patted Arryn on the shoulder, and said nothing.

It's just that there is a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Leo caught this hint of melancholy, and his heart moved slightly.

Even if Mars escaped, Laurien couldn't have worried about anything, only that he might have something to worry about because of Mars.

For example...... Holy See of Light.

Leo remembered that Laurien had promised Bishop Luke of the Holy See of Light that tomorrow he would give him a reasonable explanation for Mars being a heretic, and that he would hand Mars over to the Holy See.

Now, Mars has fled.

Tomorrow Luke doesn't see anyone, and he will definitely be upset with Laurien because of this, if not worse.

In this case, if Luke were to be replaced by Leo, Leo would even suspect that Laurien had deliberately let Mars go, after all, Mars had been his subordinate for five years.

If Luke really thinks like Leo thinks, then Laurien will be in a very dangerous situation, even if he is the eldest prince of Stewart.

The people of the Holy See of Light are tolerant of the vast majority of people and other races, but they will not tolerate heresy alone.

It's a pity that Leo didn't think of anything that could solve it, all they could do was to talk about the anti-doctrine to save Mars, as for believing it or not, the decision was in the Holy See, in Luke's hands.

Let's hope Laurien can think of a way to deal with it, Leo sighed in his heart.

......

......

When Leo returned to Yan Shenchou's room, there was also a maid in the room who was taking care of Yan Shenchou, and when she saw Leo come in, she smiled slightly, and then left, it should have been Laurien who had greeted her in advance.

After closing the door, Leo called for the system in his heart to exchange the items he had found on the road just now to heal Yan Shen's sorrow.

"System, exchange for Feng Linglu. โ€

"The exchange is successful, and 700 hero points are consumed. The cold and stiff voice of the system sounded in his heart, and then a young leaf exuding rich vitality appeared in Leo's hand.

Looking at this young leaf, Leo was slightly stunned, what he exchanged was obviously the spiritual dew produced on the sycamore branches and leaves where the phoenix roosted, it should be dew, how did it appear is a leaf.

But soon he found the trace of Feng Linglu, which was gently swaying on the top of this young leaf, crystal clear, flashing with a faint red light, like a red pearl.

Li Ao breathed a sigh of relief, and according to the previous introduction of the system, he carefully dropped this drop of phoenix spirit dew on the scar on Yan Shenchou's face, and then gently rubbed it with his fingers to evenly coat it.

According to the introduction of the system, Feng Linglu is not only a healing elixir, covering all external injuries, can remove scars, but also has the effect of restoring the appearance to youth and maintaining it for fifty years.

This is something that even Legendary-level professionals can't do, and although their aging speed will be greatly slowed down, they will still continue to age.

Take Anita as an example, she is a person of the same era as Davis, and now she should be in her fifties, and because of her strength, she looks similar to a woman in her twenties, but if she is given Feng Linglu, her appearance can instantly return to eighteen years old, and it will remain for fifty years.

It is precisely because of this that Leo will spend 700 hero points to redeem it, otherwise there are many other items in the system just to remove the scars.

"When she wakes up and tells her the good news, she will be very happy. โ€

A gentle look flashed in Leo's eyes, and after wiping Feng Linglu for Yan Shenchou, he carefully covered the quilt for her.

Nothing was said all night.
