Chapter 178: The Crow
At this moment, in the tulip manor, the pale-faced Fauck was talking to the butler: "Francisco is back like this? What a pity! I thought he was going to have a big fight with Sophia! What an infatuated fellow!"
After the butler left, Falk asked in the corner again, "You didn't even manage to kill Eric?
"That's right, the information you gave is so wrong!" replied the dark shadow in the corner.
If Eric had been here, he would have recognized the owner of the shadow as Humphrey.
At this time, Humphrey was dressed in black leather armor and wore a human mask with a distorted expression on his face.
"Humphrey, I was negligent this time, if it weren't for you, I would have thought Eric was just a little knight!
It doesn't matter what you hurt, do you?, Lord Astrid, it seems that you escaped from Eric using a forbidden talent?" Faulk said to Humphrey with an apologetic expression.
"My injuries are fine, so don't send anyone to deal with him again. Judging from the calluses in his hands and the situation of fighting him, it seems that he is also quite accomplished in swordsmanship.
It's just that I don't quite understand why he didn't have a sword! I deliberately used the forbidden talent, and I didn't shoot with all my strength at that time, and if I did it with all my strength, the result would be that I would be slightly seriously injured, and he would die!
It's a pity that there are unplanned people who break in, and the strength is not weak!
If I assassinate him next time, he'll probably underestimate me!" Humphrey's tone was full of pride.
"Black Swan Manor! It's really making my eyes red! No wonder Sophia, who lost Tulip Manor, is not as sad as I imagined!" Fauck's eyes showed a little unwillingness.
"Why did you spread the word that Francisco had sent someone to assassinate Eric? No smart man would believe that.
If you make such a claim, Eric will surely doubt me.
The next time I bump into Eric, I might just do it!" Humphrey said.
"Haha, the rumor has been spreading for a long time, it won't be a rumor, if only they made a big fuss, and even Francisco died at Eric's hands! It seems that the celebration at the end of the month is an opportunity!" said Falk with a malicious smile.
"I'll go first if it's all right, and I'll report to President Astrid on what's going on!" Humphrey said.
"Well, thank you on my behalf, I am grateful for the help she has given me!" said Fauck to Humphrey with a sincere expression.
Humphrey didn't respond to Fauck's words, but his body turned into a wisp of green smoke directly in front of Fauck's eyes and disappeared into thin air.
"Assassin Brotherhood!
"What? you're going to take El as a student and teach him magic?" said Eric in his castle room, looking at Viconia in surprise.
Viconia sat on Eric's bed and jumped a few times: "How do you make your bed? Why is it so comfortable? I now think how broken the bed I used to sleep in!"
Al has a lot of wizarding talent, and this is a rare good student!"
"Alright, alright, I'll let the people from the House of Legendary Weapons make you a bed, and now you don't want to toss my bed!"
Eric stops Viconia's action of dismantling the bed, which he has Oleg's students make Simmons.
Springs have been around for a long time, but no one has thought of using them for the time being.
"Speaking of which, I still need your help! Al has always been reluctant to be a noble wizard, but is full of yearning for knights.
But you've seen his knighthood before, and he was so easily defeated by her sister!When I told Al that you were also a wizard, Al tentatively agreed to be my student!
Aunt Caroline is really amazing! The youngest son has a good talent for wizarding, the daughter has a good talent for knighthood, and even Allen, who is not very qualified, has become a knight. ”
Viconia said with admiration on his face.
Eric looked through the window at Allen, who was training as a knight on the lawn, and said to Viconia with a smile: "The lack of qualifications can be made up for with diligence!"
When Eren was resting, Dora, who had been by Alan's side, would gently hand Eren a towel, and the two had been married a few days ago.
Eric, who hadn't seen Ellen for a long time, found that Ellen had become a lot more mature at this time, and I don't know if it was because of his relationship with Dora.
As soon as he sees Dora, Eric can't help but think of Angelina, who is Angelina's only best friend.
"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death, if hard work could make up for it, this world would be full of wizards and knights!" Viconia laughed loudly, tapping her hand on the bed.
"By the way, I told Alan to come over later, and then you can cast a random magic spell to prove that I didn't lie to him. Viconia laughed and said to Eric.
Eric smiled bitterly: "This is where you need my help? Why did you pull me in, Al, his surname is a bit out of the box, take him as a student, you will have to be busy in the future!"
Viconia shook his hand indifferently at Eric's words and said, "I originally planned to teach El the basics of magic during the period when I was recuperating here.
I'm going to Winter's Castle, and I'll have someone take El to the Plains of Syrodiel!"
"When will your injuries heal, maybe you can come with me to Wintercastle!" Eric asked.
"It's not so fast, this year's Twilight Moon ship won't be able to catch up, if it weren't for you, I would have hurt my foundation before I came to my senses!
If I had been treated the way I had done it, I wouldn't have been able to move around at will!" Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Al came.
As soon as Al walked into the room, he looked at Eric with a hopeful gaze and said, "Eric, Sister Viconia said that you are a wizard, and you are so powerful because you are a wizard, is she right?"
"I'm a wizard, but I'm not great! El, no one knows how many wizards have been burned to death in Laika City!
But I'm sure you've seen quite a few of them, and I hope you'll think about it!
If you're not careful, it might affect your family!"
Before Eric could continue, Viconia stopped, "Hey, hey, I'm asking you to do magic, not to preach." The road will only be known if you have walked it!"
Under Al's astonished gaze, one of the chairs in the room flew into the air and flew in circles around the room.
When the chair fell back to the ground, Al said with a look of dismay, "This is magic?
"Of course, you might be even better than Eric in the future!Erik, one more!" Viconia motioned for Eric to cast another spell.
This time, a cluster of flames appeared on Eric's right index finger, and he cast the "World-Destroying Firestorm" that he bought from Oleg.
At this point, Al was convinced that Eric was a wizard, so he pestered Viconia to teach him magic on the spot.
"I didn't expect you to be promoted to a second-order wizard, the 'High Mage Hand' has to be guided by your hands like other magic, in order to exert its maximum power.
Of course, you can use your feet or eyes, provided you can. ”
Eric didn't expect that as soon as he cast the "High Mage Hand", he was immediately seen by Viconia: "Of course I know, but I like the feeling of guiding the 'High Mage Hand' with my heart."
As for what you mean by using your feet and using your eyes?"
"Haha, I can't tell you too much, this is all the secret method of various wizarding organizations or wizards, this time I owe you a favor, I will pay it back to you depending on the situation!" Viconia grinned and pulled Al away.
Somehow, Eric always felt that Al was like a loli at this time, and Viconia was a weird uncle.
In the evening, Eric returns to town from Black Swan Manor, ready to dispose of his basement, where there are still two half-dead vampires!
Just as Eric entered the courtyard, there was a sudden "quack" sound overhead, and Eric looked up to see an unusual crow pounce on him.
This is the crow sent by Ingrid, it is covered in black gas, and its eyes are very green and very penetrating.
Eric reacted extremely quickly and grabbed the crow that was pounced on him.
But the moment he grabbed the crow, Eric felt empty in his hand, and the crow passed directly through his palm until it sank into his heart.
The surprise was not trivial, and Eric had no idea that the crow would burrow into him.
Eric, who felt a sharp pain in his heart, only then did he realize that the crow had been on top of his head all along, and had not moved at all, and the crow that had pounced on him just now was just a phantom.
After the Phantom Raven submerged in Eric's heart, the Raven let out a "quack" and flew away.
I don't know if it's a hallucination, Eric felt that the crow smiled at him before flying away, and this smile made the hairs on Eric's body stand on end.
Eric, who knew that the visitor was not good, was about to cast a spell on the crow and was about to stop it when there was a sound of neat footsteps behind him.
Eric looked back and saw ten elite Imperial soldiers and a bearded officer in his courtyard.
"Eric Vincent?" the bearded officer asked Eric directly.
"I am, what's the matter?" Eric noticed that these people, like the crow, were bad people.
"Arrest it!" the bearded officer ordered the ten elite Imperial soldiers. (To be continued.) )
