Chapter Twenty-Three: Twilight's Extravaganza

When Antonio's metal boots stepped into the Grand Master's study, there were only three corpses left in the dimly lit room, the candlesticks in the room had been extinguished by the cold night wind blowing in from the window, and the curtains by the window were blown apart by the howling wind.

"Son of the Dragon" Antonio calmly glanced at the room, his right hand was slowly raised, his palm emitted a brilliant golden light, and a shining golden spear flashed in his hand, and the light emitted by the spear instantly illuminated the entire study.

"Oh my God!" Tali, the mermaid guardian standing behind Antonio, couldn't help but scream when she saw the withered corpse of Grand Master Constantine lying on the ground, and all the magicians present turned pale and shocked.

Antonio slammed the spear into the ground, leaving a deep hole in the hard wooden floor, and the light from the spear shone through his short crimson hair and the solemn expression on his face.

He came to the corpse of the Grand Master and crouched down, looked down at the wound on Konstantin's back, then turned his body over and examined the wound in his abdomen, which did not bleed in either wound, and there was no blood on his clothes next to the wound, which made Antonio puzzled.

"Something drained their blood. He glanced up at Tali and the magicians in the direction of the doorway, his brow still unfurled, "But there is no wound in the throat, it doesn't look like a vampire." As far as I know, no vampire can defeat Konstantin except the Ghost King. ”

"Maybe you should say 'he' instead of 'them'. Suddenly, the sound caught Antonio's attention, and he looked back in the direction of the bookcase to see the adventurer Murphy standing up from the corpse of a fallen magician.

"There were no wounds on the body, but there were blood stains on the knife that fell next to him. ”

Murphy handed the knife to Antonio, and the Knight Leader, seeing the visible blood stains on the tip of the knife, got up and walked over to the corpse of another magician, and found a similar knife.

After examining the corpse of the magician, Antonio walked up to Murphy and said, "This corpse does not have wounds, the cause of death is a strong impact and a broken vertebrae. ”

Murphy nodded approvingly and said, "The same goes for this one next to me." ”

"Obviously, these two people were killed by the Grand Master, and the knives in their hands matched the wounds on Konstantin's body, but they obviously failed to kill His Excellency Konstantin, there must be another person in this room, and he was the mastermind and murderer who killed the Great Master. ”

Antonio said as he looked around the room, when suddenly, a night breeze blew in front of him, blowing something soft from the ground, and after a circle around him, it floated down.

The Knight Master grabbed it in his hand, and the moment he opened his palm, he saw a black feather.

Antonio stared at the feather in his hand and pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Tali and asked, "Miss Tully, if I'm not mistaken, does Rogge have a black owl by his side?"

Tali was stunned for a moment when she heard this, nodded subconsciously, but asked in surprise, "Your Excellency, you don't think that Rogge killed the Grand Master, do you?"

"Maybe it's him, maybe not, but this feather at least shows that he's been here!" Antonio turned around and shouted, "Douglas!"

Douglas, the deputy head of the Knights of the Silver Dragon Wings, walked in from outside the door and heard Antonio order: "Order the Knights to set off immediately and find Rogge!

......

"Only by following him can we know the truth!"

In the dark night sky, Lilith, a little owl with black feathers and red claws, grabbed Rogge and Catherine, who had been transformed into little hamsters by Transfiguration, with their claws, and flew silently in the air with them.

Not far in front of them, a black-robed man could be seen suspended in the air, flying towards the snowfields north of the Shining City.

"How far do you have to fly, you two are so heavy, I can't catch it!" the little owl cried coquettishly.

"We'll have to follow him, little darling, hold on, I don't think he will fly for long!" Rog whispered, who had been turned into a black hamster.

As he spoke, a black forest appeared on the snowfield in front of him, and the black-robed man "Bloody Hand" William landed steadily on the edge of the woods, he looked up at the shadowy forest, and slowly walked into the woodland.

"Quick, keep up with him, the woods are a good place for us to follow him!" Rog said hurriedly to Lilith.

The little owl flapped its wings and swayed into the forest, placed the two on the top of a tree, and then spread its wings and lay on the branch to gasp.

"Hey, can't you hold on any longer?" Rog glanced at the little guy lying on the branch, and Lilith closed her eyes and ignored him.

Rogge had no choice but to turn back to Catherine and say, "Forget it, let's go over by ourselves, anyway, we are very small now, and it is not easy for that guy to find out!"

Two "little mice", one black and one white, jumped along the branches to the depths of the forest, jumping and gliding between the staggered branches, and soon found the traces of William the "Bloody Hand", and the two quietly followed him to a clearing shrouded in shadows, hiding in a tree to spy on his movements.

When William entered the clearing surrounded by bushes, three black-robed men dressed similarly to him came out of the nearby bushes, and they came to William side by side, bowed respectfully, and said in unison: "Your Excellency, what you have ordered has been clarified. ”

"Where's the woman?" asked William, still in his hoarse, cold voice.

"It's in the Yeti Forest not far from here. The black-robed man at the head replied softly.

"Go ahead, get rid of her, and do it nicely!" William ordered in an emotionless cold voice, and the three black-robed men bowed slightly and said in unison, "Follow Twilight's orders!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

After the three of them left, William remained in place, without the slightest movement, and Rogge in the treetops stared at his back, not knowing what he was going to do.

He glanced in the direction where the three black-robed men had left, turned back to Catherine and whispered, "I guess the woman they are talking about should be Alice!"

Before the words fell, William on the ground suddenly turned to look at the tree where the two of them were, and with a finger of his right hand, the tree where the two of them stopped withered instantly in a burst of red light, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the two fell from the tree and fell into the grass.

Rog struggled to jump up from the ground, and suddenly found himself enveloped by William's figure, the dark wizard reached out his hand to Rog, Rog felt an invisible traction draw him towards William's hand, and at this time, as a little mouse, he could not break free from this power.

Caught off guard, a shadow silently flew over William's head, a flash of red light, Rogge flashed in front of the dark wizard, a cold silver light crossed William's head, and William, who had been cleaved, fell to the ground on his back.

"Partnering with you is such a thing to improve your reaction speed and heart endurance!" Rogge said softly, gasping softly to the little owl that had just landed on his shoulder.

Lilith glanced at him when she heard this, and retorted like a cannon: "Who let you leave me unorganized, undisciplined, free and disobedient to command?"

Before Rogge could speak, William, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly disappeared in a cloud of black mist, and at the same time, William's figure reappeared behind Catherine, and a hand flashing red was extended to her.

Catherine, who sensed someone behind her, turned around and raised her gun to shoot, and the silver bullet pierced William's skull, causing him to fall on his back again, and then dissipate without a trace after a moment.

"Come here!" Rogge beckoned Catherine to his side, and the two looked around back to back, only to see four clusters of red light appear around them, and four identical black-robed people appeared in their sight at the same time.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, 'Lone Wolf' Rogge," the four black-robed men sneered in hoarse and gloomy voices at the same time, "Originally, I was a little worried, afraid that you wouldn't come to wade into this troubled water, but I'm obviously too worried, welcome to this twilight event!"
