Under the dark of the night, in the snowy weather, there was a huge explosion in the Mishenro area, and the fire rushed out from the ground, reflecting the entire sky. Flames spread out from the west side of the canopy and fell to the earth like meteors, and the houses of the inhabitants were smashed into large holes by stones.

The ground shook, buildings collapsed in the shaking, and powerful pillars of fire swept down tall buildings. The yellow-skinned, skinny inhabitants scurried around like mice, shouting in horror that the end was coming, and the black devil was reaping life in the dead of winter.

The news soon reached the ears of Emperor Wilhelm, who had been greatly annoyed by the recent demonstrations, and Kurt was heavily punished. Kurt was dismissed from his post and temporarily left in Port Himmray. Now the flames of Mishinro that broke out in the evening directly ignited his anger.

William sent a royal guard to Micinro to investigate the matter.

In addition to Kaiser Wilhelm's men that night, the Marquis of Meyage, the head of the Kurt family, after hearing what had happened to Micinro, went to Pete, who had issued a bounty for Kane's head. Kurt asks if he has left any clues related to the Kurt family.

He stressed that the family can no longer make any mistakes, and any unfavorable factors for the family must be erased.

Pete confidently tells Meyage that he will never have trouble finding the family, unless Hammer is in the way!

As expected, Virgin quickly found Franz after learning about this, and he guessed that the matter must have something to do with Kane, so he told Franz the general situation, and Franz, who roughly guessed the situation in the Micinro area, quickly showed an excited look, and he asked Vilkin to go to Misingro to find Kane, and he wanted to use the matter to pursue Kurt with victory.

The major family forces have been dispatched, and for a while, Mishenro has become another thing that has attracted everyone's attention since the Battle of the Ice Sea, and Kane, who is in it, does not know the changing situation outside at this time.

After the explosion, a black shadow crawled out of some filthy sewer drain in the collapsed ruins, his back was blackened, and in some places his flesh was blurred, and he pushed away the rocks that blocked his progress, and crawled forward with difficulty, step by step.

With a face like black charcoal, and a resolute look full of longing for life, he looked ahead and stretched his hands forward vigorously. The desire to survive and the indomitable spirit are his greatest weapons.

He may not know where to climb himself, but as long as he gets out of here, it is the best place for him.

I don't know how long I climbed, I don't know where I went, but he was hugged by a pair of warm hands at the moment before he fell, his head rested on a piece of softness, and he smelled the fragrance that seemed to be there, and he slowly closed his heavy eyelids.

Kane had a dream, he was standing in the endless darkness, there was a dead silence around him, he didn't know where to go, and the loneliness and death silence made him inexplicably sad.

He ran as hard as he could, trying to escape the oppressive blackness, but no matter how much he ran, it was in vain, as if he was spinning in place.

In desperation, five mages and arcanists dressed in various mage robes suddenly appeared around him. They looked at Kane with disgust, and one of them even took out a magic book that glowed with a pale golden glow and read a strange secret word to Kane.

The others looked at the magister who was chanting the secret words of magic with serious eyes, and when the man had finished speaking, he suddenly and viciously called Kane the demon incarnate, the filthy soul, the spurned maggot, and they aimed their ancient, gem-encrusted staffs at Kane with a burst of magic and arcane power. Colorful arcane arts and magic poured down on him like a torrential rain, and the holy baptism cleansed away the sins of his life.

In the face of the sudden malice, Kane wanted to defend himself, but found that he couldn't open his mouth, and under the magic attack of light and shadow, his body became light, floating into the air like a wisp of mist. His vision widened, like a god looking down on a small shadow below.

Soon, the scene in the dream changed again, and the surrounding environment was no longer black or nothing. He became a tortured man bound to a pillar of fire, and the surrounding stands were crowded with onlookers, who looked at him with disgust and unpleasant demonic words came out of their mouths. They maliciously hope that the sinners on the pillars will be cleansed of their filthy souls under the fire of purifying karma.

The heat of the pillar of fire burned his skin, but the scorching heat did not hurt the vicious words in the audience.

A man dressed as a priest appeared in front of him, the Holy Sword emblem on his clothes that made Kane recognize him as a cleric of the Star God Sect, at least a seventh-level mage, or higher. He pointed his golden sword at Kane's chest, telling Kane's identity like the people underground.

He said that Kane had the blood of Tiamat, the mother of the dragons, and that they were the embodiment of demons, and that if he was allowed to grow, the whole world would be in danger, and that today, the great cardinal would kill this monster with his sword and remove this scourge from the world.

With that, in the midst of the high and high shouts of the people, the golden holy sword plunged into Kane's heart, Kane was furious in his heart, and he desperately tried to break free of the chains that bound him, but in vain.

In the midst of cheers, Kane's eyes closed and he slowly calmed down, his confusion dissipating.

I don't know how long it took, Kane opened his eyes, the wooden ceiling above his head stunned him for two seconds, he recalled last night's dream, but it was all a blurry fragment, the content of the dream disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Kane's back was scorching, and his head felt like it was about to explode.

After being injured in the explosion last night, Kane drank a recovery potion bought on the black market, but due to the continuous burning of the flames, the recovery potion became ineffective after holding on for a while. Kane climbed out of the waterhole and sewers with great perseverance, and he almost forgot about the rest of the incident, and instinct carried him out of danger.

I only vaguely remember that he seemed to see a familiar figure before he finally fell.

Kane, struggling to recall his memories of last night, was caught by a familiar voice.

"You're awake!" Arya's tone was full of surprise and joy, she didn't expect Kane, who was seriously injured last night and looked dying, to wake up so quickly, she thought it would take a day or two for Kane to wake up.

Seeing Arya, Kane knew who he was last night, no wonder he felt familiar.

"You are injured and need to replenish your nutrition, I have prepared some meat for you, beaten into meat puree and cooked porridge, don't move yet, have a good rest. I'll go see if it's cooked. Arya covered Kane before walking to the small house in the side room.

Kane lay in bed, unaware that the major forces outside Harrence were trying to find clues from the ruins he had created from the previous night, and that the men sent by His Majesty the Emperor found nothing in the second half of the night.

When Welgin arrived at Mishenro, it had already been taken over, and he had no chance to get in, and he didn't know what Kane's condition was, but according to the information from some of the investigators involved, he guessed that Kane was not dead.

Because during the night's search, they only found a large group of charred eyes of rats, and a charred corpse, which Virgin did not see, and after discovering this important clue, the corpse was brought back to the dynasty.

The remaining refugees who were stoned to death or wounded fell victim to the pitiful Winter Season.

The Red-Eyed Rats are the lowest-level of the dark creatures, but they have appeared more frequently recently, but the dark creatures that should have been extinct in the Great Reckoning War hundreds of years ago attracted the attention of the Holy Sword Sect. As one of the leaders of the light, they hate these murderous and filthy creatures.

The appearance of the red-eyed rats is just an omen, and what they are really worried about is the return of the horned people and the demon descendants, and the darkness will fall again, and no one will be spared.

Born strong and aggressive, the Horned Race has been driven to the wilderness of the Savage Continent since their defeat in the war, and these races believe in evil spirits and conflict with the sanctity of the major churches, so there is constant war.

As the archbishop of the Holy Sword Holy See in the royal city of Harrens, Munet should also be involved in the investigation of this incident, and represents the Holy See rather than the dynasty. He was followed by three fifth-order knights and two clergy.

Munet's haggard face shows that this incident is not simple, he is not concerned about the reason why Mishinro has become a ruin, but about why those dark creatures have appeared here, why they have been hidden for so long as a group, and how much of the dark side of the Harrence dynasty is hidden.

He ordered the two clergy to bring back several charred rat carcasses for study, while he himself made a second round.

In the end, nothing special was found, and as he was about to leave, the investigator of the Arcane Society, Neros . Karemos just happened to run into him.

The silver robe was covered with magic runes, showing his noble status, a fifth-order great magician, second only to the highest magic seat in the local area. The Church of the Sacred Sword is not affiliated with the Arcane Society, and they have their own dedicated gods. For example, the deity worshiped by the Church of the Holy Sword is St. Michael, and the Arcane Society believes in the legendary mage St. Raphael.

Neroth cordially stepped forward to inquire about Munet's discovery, and Munet, who had not gained much, shook his head and sighed and said that he had not gained much, hoping to find the evil organization from these rat corpses.

The two parted after a few pleasantries, and Nelus symbolically walked around here, and like Munet, he casually took back the two mouse corpses and planned to give them over, in fact, he did not come here today because of his own wishes, but the task given to him by his teacher, the purpose was to let him know more, contact and feel the breath of dark creatures more, and exercise his abilities.

But Neros wasn't really interested in any of this, he was interested in how to obtain the sacred, he just wanted to hide in his own space and delve into the esoteric magic arcane, not how to maintain the justice in their hearts every day like the teacher and other papal members.

In fact, in Nerich's eyes, these people are superficial, and they do so much to maintain these so-called righteous lights, but they are afraid that their dominance will one day be overthrown, and what he is looking for is truly pure arcane.

Keen on arcane arts, he even secretly studied dark magic and dark sorcery, and at that time he almost went mad and was controlled by the remnants of the demonic will, but fortunately, his teacher at the time, Master Yorick the Whitebeard, found out early and used the "light wash" to expel the terrifying demonic will in his body.

The experience of brushing shoulders with death didn't scare and distance Neroth from dark magic, and he was even a little unsatisfied that he wanted to delve deeper into it sooner rather than later. But since his dangerous act, all books on dark magic in the Society have been locked.

Yorick tells him that if he wants to get close to dark magic, he can only rely on the dark creatures they have created to understand it, and that he is not allowed to access the forbidden books.

Nelus knew that in fact, those dark creatures had nothing useful at all, and they could not provide him with more esoteric knowledge, they were just a group of inferior creatures controlled by people, and only the content of those forbidden books could interest him, and that was the truly magical thing!
