The candle shimmered in the dim, lonely room.

Occasionally, through the shaking curtains, a cold wind with a chill blew in it, which seemed to be mixed with whispers from the night.

Suddenly, a violent explosion resounded through the sky.

Then countless raindrops fell in the dark night outside the window, intertwined in the empty world, like a drum, with the power to beat people's hearts.

A few sparrows that were curled up in a corner and fell asleep suddenly woke up.

They opened their eyes in a daze, and the figure that had made them kind was still sitting in place.

It's just that the candle on the candlestick has burned a little bit.

Christine looked sideways as the howling wind rolled up the curtains, bringing in a few drops of bean-sized raindrops.

The flame on the candle swayed from side to side, and then fell into extinguishment.

She was slightly startled, then got up and rekindled it.

At this time, she suddenly had some light on the electric light that could not be blown out, an item that needed to be turned on to light up.

It's just that it shouldn't have come out yet.

Or do it yourself......

Although she thought so in her head, Christine also knew that she was whimsical.

Because I don't understand the principle of why it emits light.

It seems that the wire is connected to the power supply......

But where does the electricity come from?

What kind of material is iron wire?

Christine suddenly found that she was so used to things in her previous life, and she really couldn't tell what she was going to do.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while, with a hint of trouble in the black and bright children's holes.

She got up and walked to the window, and was about to close the two glasses, but her eyes involuntarily looked into the distance.

It's in the direction of the ghetto, but it's obscured by the tall buildings.

A few drops of cold rain fell on Christine's white face along the cracks, and then she felt a faint uneasiness in her heart.

Is there something wrong with your own arrangement?

Is it the guards?

Christine stood in front of the window and was silent for a long time.

"Boom ......"

A white lightning bolt slashed the abyss-like sky, and countless rays of light sprinkled out, and the sky and the earth instantly turned white, outlining the hideous black shadows on the earth.

At the same time, there was a slight knock on the door with a slight roar.

Christine closed the window, and the sound of the rain outside was instantly much quieter, and the knock on the door became clearer.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and a slightly embarrassed figure burst into Christine's field of vision.

Perhaps because of the urgency, the rain on the body of the person who came did not even have time to evaporate, and a drop of water was dripping on the hem of the clothes.

"Huh? How are you? ”

"Where's Arian?"

Christine's uneasiness peaked when she discovered that it was another guard.

"Your Royal Highness, Arian, she has been seriously injured."

"So for the time being, I'll deliver the letter for you."

The guard said with a serious expression, and then handed over a piece of information.

At this point, she finally had time to dispose of her wet clothes.

"Arian is actually injured?"

Christine's eyebrows tightened together, and she took the information and looked at it carefully.

When he saw that Arian's injury was not life-threatening, his heart couldn't help but fall, and his brow gradually relaxed.

But soon, when I saw something else, the eyebrows came back together.

The true face of the priests of the Order of Twilight, and the strength they possess......

It's all Arrian's dictation.

The guard watched quietly as Her Royal Highness the Princess slowly paced back into the room, thinking seriously for a long time.

Christine had only one problem in her head right now, one that she hadn't noticed.

Where did this Order of Twilight come from?

Burning the paper in his hand, the flame of the candle danced in Christine's black hole.

Looking back at her memories again, she had indeed never heard of this Dusk Order appearing in the imperial capital in her previous life.

Not even in the following era, not a single Order of the Twilight has ever appeared here.

On the contrary, other orders are making waves in the imperial capital.

So how did this Order, the Order of Twilight, with such a huge momentum, develop to this scale?

Christine sensed something strange in it.

But she's missing a key clue to help her tie it all together.

"Hoo ......"

"Curty, where is Arian recovering now?"

Christine looked at the guards and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Highness, Arian is in our slums at the moment, and there are already people around to protect him."

Curty looked stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied.

"Then take me to see it."

"Your Highness!"

The guard, who was respectfully listening to the next instruction, raised his head and looked at Her Royal Highness the princess with a shocked expression.

She wanted to persuade His Highness how dangerous the situation in the slums was now.

With the noble body of Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can she personally take risks.

Otherwise, what is the role of these guards?

But she met His Highness's calm look at her, and there was an unmistakable look in her gaze.

The words of persuasion came to my mouth, and I swallowed it immediately.

The sound of the rainstorm outside the window seems to be getting louder and louder, and the lightning and thunder make you feel like you are back in a summer night.

"Do you need me to say that again?"

In response to Christine's soft questioning, the guard lowered his head again.

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

Slum.

Countless people's eyes were fixed on this place, watching the torches go out one by one in the rain.

Under such heavy rain, the frenzied Twilight cultists had to temporarily suspend their activities.

This scene made many people's hearts relax a little.

Some were glad that the rain had come at such a timely time that the struggling believers had temporarily calmed down.

At the same time, you can rest by staring at the eyes here.

The result is arguably the safest moment ever.

When the rain passes, we don't know what will happen here.

No one can answer, not including the Order of Twilight, which is the initiator.

Inside the gang's station, a figure pushed open the door in the pouring rain.

A man behind him closed it again, not letting the sound of the rain disturb his conversation.

"Squeak......

Faced with the sudden sound of the door opening, the guard named Arian looked cautiously over there.

But in the next second, the vigilant look on her face froze.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Arian recognized the identity of the person who had come.

It is Her Royal Highness the princess who has sworn allegiance to herself!

She was shocked in her heart, how did Her Highness come here.

Arian couldn't believe it, but Christine's figure was right in front of his eyes.

She couldn't be mistaken.

Could it be that Your Highness braved the heavy rain and came to see her?

Thinking of this, Arian's eyes suddenly reddened, and an inextricable emotion rose in his heart.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, how ...... she is How ......

Arian suddenly ran out of words, not knowing what words to use to describe this feeling.

So she struggled to get up, wanting to get out of bed and meet Her Royal Highness.

But Christine stepped forward and pressed Arian's figure to move.

"You still have injuries, so you don't have to salute."

Looking at the figure wrapped like a dumpling, Christine couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I came here because there are some things that can't be explained on paper, and now I have the opportunity to come here because of the temporary silence."

"In addition, first withdraw the main force here at night, don't get involved in the whirlpool."

Christine has made up her mind not to get involved in this matter, anyway, there are many opportunities in the future.

Arian's face became serious when she heard Her Royal Highness talking about business.

"Let's talk about what you've seen and perceived."

"Don't miss a detail."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Arian then told Christine about her own infiltration into the underground passage.

……

The slums are so quiet on a rainy night, but there are rough waves underneath.

Thanks to the designers who had just begun to build the imperial capital, countless flowing water flowed through the surrounding canals to the rivers that ran through the imperial capital and outside the city.

As a result, there wasn't much standing water in the city.

It's just that the rain is heavy and there is a lot of water coming down.

The waterways are filled with the deafening sound of running water hitting the walls.

In a wide area of the underground waterway, which is lit up, it has apparently been transformed into a gathering place.

The middle-aged man looked gloomily at the group of people in front of him.

He had a new set of clothes on his body at the moment.

There were no scars on his face at all, as if he was not the one who had eaten the flames before.

Only the hair is shorter than before, and it seems to be getting thinner.

Because that place has been completely destroyed by the sneak attackers who suddenly discovered it.

So now I have to find a new place to gather together.

He asked gloomily as he glanced at the empty-handed disciples below.

"What do you all catch!"

Faced with the middle-aged man's questioning, the people below were hesitant for a while and couldn't answer.

"Priest, we've been looking for a long time."

"But now there is nothing for the time being, and we have not found our relatives."

"We're sad about that too......"

When a man saw that the priest's gaze was fixed on him, he could only reply stiffly.

With one person to start, the rest began to answer.

"Priest, we have searched all the slums, but we have found nothing."

"Lord Priest, I've also looked through the area I'm responsible for, and it's true."

“……”

"Then why don't you keep looking!"

"Why didn't you come back if you didn't find it!"

The middle-aged man's face became more and more gloomy the more he listened, and finally said directly.

"Priest, we ......"

"It's raining heavily, and the torches are all drenched, so I can't light the fire."

"So we're going to wait until dawn tomorrow morning......"

One person explained it.

Although the middle-aged man is angry, he knows that the weather does not change due to man-made.

He kept asking the Gospel in his bosom if it had the power to control the weather.

But no matter how anxiously he asked, the Gospel remained quietly in his arms, and there was no response.

This made the middle-aged man a little impatient for a while.

Hasn't the power of the Gospels been restored after eating those few people?

He didn't realize that he was now increasingly dependent on the gospel.

It's as if it's gradually controlling its thoughts.

This is no different from the posture of a middle-aged man when he was restrained before, and there is a similarity.

It's just that one uses force and coercion, and the other relies on temptation.

Even middle-aged men don't have much of a wariness of this gospel.

Because it is only a tool in its eyes, it is hardly fortified.

Finding that the Gospel did not answer him, the middle-aged man had no choice but to wave his hand and let the people retreat and rest for the night.

Facing the empty hall, he finally couldn't help but vent the anger in his heart.

"Damn, that damned warlock!"

"Where the hell did she hide my loved ones?"

"Damn! Damn it!

”

"If death is cheap, she should be cut by a thousand knives, and then burned to ashes!"

"My poor wife and daughter, I will find you soon."

"You must hold on, you must hold on!"

"I'm sure, I'm sure I'll find you!"

……

Facing the just bright sky, Ji Yan came to the academy.

There was already a figure in the classroom, and it was clear that he was late.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

The two of them whispered near Ji Yan's seat, and one of them had a strange face.

Ji Yan shook his head, as the children of nobles, they obviously had access to a lot of information.

But many of them are things that I don't really need, or things that shock my three views.

For example, which noble woman bought a dog, and which housekeeper fell in love with three noble women at the same time......

"Something big happened in the slums yesterday!"

"What can happen in a dirty place like the slums?"

His companion laughed with some disdain.

"You know the Order of Twilight."

The man said mysteriously, lowering his voice.

Ji Yan heard the familiar name at this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind turned.

The Order of Twilight?

Could it be that they have appeared in the imperial capital again?

Then Ji Yan quietly approached the two and secretly eavesdropped on their conversation.

"You know, what does this have to do with the slums."

"Wait, you don't mean to say ......"

His companion seemed to react, his face suddenly shocked and frightened.

Apparently he had experienced the arrival of the Lord of the Dusk before, so he was terrified of it.

That feeling as small as dust, he didn't want to experience it a second time.

"That's right, that's what you think!"

"How is this possible, the Order of Twilight they, is it ......"

"Don't say it, you don't want a crow's mouth!"

The man kicked his companion in a bit of annoyance.

"I shouldn't have said this, and then what?"

"They roamed the slums last night, and because of that name, even the people of the Empire didn't dare to stop it......"

He has a strong shadow of the Lord of Dusk, so he doesn't dare to say it directly, so he can only find a title instead.

"I heard that they seem to be looking for someone, but I don't know who they are looking for......"

"The professor is here, stop talking."

Ji Yan also returned to his original position, with a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Get......

Who is that looking for?
