Billowing smoke began to spread through the hallway. The archmage's arcane magic is not like the elven magic of the dark elf Niya, as long as the elves of the corresponding attribute are summoned, they can be cast endlessly, and every time Aqiman releases a lightning bolt or an ice pick, he needs to re-chant the relevant spell to gather the magical energy around him. Therefore, while the combination of Isaac and Nia kept knocking the Dragontooth Knight in front of them to the ground, the battle on the side of the demon, Niss, and Elder Edgar began to get bogged down, and they had to hold the weapons of the enemy on the opposite side as long as possible, so that the archmage behind them could have enough time to chant and then release various arcane energies to knock down the opponent. As a result, the three companions in front of the archmage all had a lot of deep and shallow wounds on their bodies.

At this moment, suddenly from the room they had just rushed out, a dragon tooth knight wielding a long sword pounced on the archmage. It turned out that the Dragontooth Knight downstairs had set up a ladder on the windowsill of the Archmage's room in the Thieves' Guild. It was obvious that neither the demon, nor Edgar could come back in time to help the archmage, so Aqiman had to temporarily give up the cover of the demon in front of him, and took out a magic scroll from his side and threw it at the other party.

Archmage Archmage Akiman's zuò magic scrolls have always been effective. After a puff of green smoke, a spider web appeared out of thin air and entangled the dragontooth knight's sword that slashed towards the archmage. The Dragontooth Knight, on the other hand, simply gave up his weapon and slapped the archmage with the tower shield in his hand. The archmage's body slammed directly into the door of the opposite room, and a flaming beam from the ceiling fell, pressing down on the archmage. And on the back of the Dragontooth Knight who tried to catch up and kill the archmage.

I saw the archmage fall to the ground wounded. Demon Amtils' eyes instantly turned red. Two giant wings, also red, stretched out from behind the demon, fanning a gust of wind. The demon who had been fighting in the form of a human appeared in his original form. Several dragon tooth knights who were originally surrounding the demon were stunned by the real demon that suddenly appeared in front of them. With just one turn, the demon's wings swept three or four dragon tooth knights to the ground, and Ness and her mentor, Elder Edgar, hurriedly rushed forward and put the dagger in their hands into the gap in the armor of these fallen dragon tooth knights.

And the demon's real purpose is to go back and rescue his friend, the archmage Aqiman, who is lying under the burning beam. Unfortunately, at this time, the floor on the second floor of the Thieves' Guild Headquarters, where the flames erupted, could no longer support the Demon, Ness, and Edgar. There were several dragon tooth knights, including the weight, and suddenly collapsed downstairs. The demon's outstretched hand towards the archmage gripped the floor beside him, hanging the demon itself in midair.

Edgar, the elder of the Thieves' Guild, who had fallen before the demon, suddenly cried out, "Sewers, kill them quickly." We can escape through the sewers!" "It turns out that the place where they fell was the kitchen on the first floor of the Thieves' Guild, which had a hole leading to the sewer, and in this situation, this sewer might be the only hope for Ness and Elder Edgar to escape.

The demon, however, seemed to have no idea what Edgar was saying, and pulled his body up the second floor. Because the demon saw that the dragontooth knight who had been crushed to the ground by the ignited beam with the archmage had slowly got up. Unlike Aqiman, who only wears a mage robe. The heavy armor on the Dragontooth Knight's body blocked most of the damage for him, and Akiman lay on the ground with his head bowed at this time. Let the flames on the beams that overpowered him extend over him. The Dragontooth Knight, who had risen, had apparently stopped taking the mage as an object of battle, and instead drew his long sword, which was entangled in cobwebs, and slashed at the demon.

The demon's hands were clinging to the floor on the second floor, and looking at the long sword that slashed at his body, the demon had to barely block it with the giant wings behind his back. As a result, the root of the demon's wings was cut by the dragon tooth knight's long sword, almost cutting off one of the wings behind the demon on the spot, and the injured demon no longer had the strength to support his body and fell directly down to Ness's side, and his feet stepped on a dragon tooth knight who was swinging his sword at Ness.

Before the demon could fall, he noticed a sudden burst of fire from the Dragontooth Knight, who raised his sword and slashed at him. The Dark Elf Mage Nia noticed the situation and shot a fireball at the back of the Dragontooth Knight. By this time, Elder Edgar had found the entrance to the sewer and had slipped into it, and after the death of the Dragontooth Knight downstairs who had fallen with them was over, the dark elf thief Ness followed behind her mentor, and the poor Dragontooth Knights' heavy armor was doomed to their fate, and the fall from the second floor made them almost immobile, killing them was an easy task for them to deftly dodge the thieves who had fallen from the wooden blocks and furniture that fell upstairs, and the demon broke the neck of the Dragontooth Knight who had been trampled under his feet, and came to the mouth of the sewer, turning to look upstairs。

Due to the injury of the giant wing behind him, the demon could not and could not fly for a while, and he could only hope that Nia, who noticed the mage's situation, would be able to jump down with the injured and fallen mage who was uncertain about his life and death, and Isaac, who was still fighting with the dragon tooth knights upstairs, and then escaped from the sewers together.

The edge of the floor on the second floor shook as the dark elf Nya swayed, and Isaac, already covered in blood, appeared beside her, and used the dagger in his hand to block a long sword that had been slashed at her. Due to the distance from the floor of the second floor, when Nia and Isaac reached the edge of the floor on the second floor, they were surrounded by nearly ten dragon tooth knights, including those who had rushed out of the original archmage Aqiman's room.

"Hurry up! This place is going to collapse, the whole house is going to collapse. Ness, who was behind the demon, suddenly grabbed the demon's arm and tried to pull the demon down the sewer with all her might: "My sister will take care of the mage and herself, as well as Isaac's." We've got to get out of here and find a way to find them. ”

The entire headquarters of the Thieves' Guild is now in flames. If the demon hesitated even a little longer, the remains of countless flaming houses would fall on the heads of the demon and Ness. Thankfully, the demon accepted Niss's advice. Tailgating Ness into the sewers. Just as the demon stepped into the sewer, which was only large enough to fit the height of the demon's shoulder. There was a loud bang outside. The headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, which had been rooted in this place for more than 1,500 years, collapsed.

Behind him, the rumbling sound of the Thieves' Guild headquarters collapsing bounced off the walls of the sewers, reaching the ears of the three men in the sewers again and again. The debris of the burnt-out headquarters covered the ground, covering the sewer entrance to the kitchen at the Thieves' Guild headquarters, so they didn't have to worry about the Dragontooth Knights chasing them anytime soon.

Edgar, the elder of the Thieves' Guild, walked forward without looking back, seemingly unaffected by the destruction of the headquarters, while Ness, behind him, had to keep her head down and navigate the low sewers, except for naturally dwarf creatures like halflings, dwarves, or goblins. No one could move freely in such a low space, let alone the demon, who had to bend down and move slowly through the sewers.

The chasing army is something that needs to be worried about for the time being, and the problem that the three people in the sewer urgently need to solve is how to get out of this disgusting sewer. Even in the eyes of demons from the Abyssal Realm, what people call Hell, the environment here is the real Hell. However, after passing several holes that appeared to lead to the ground, after the thieves climbed up and scouted the surroundings, everyone was sure that the Dragontooth Knights, led by Count Brad Crane, were still looking for those who had escaped from the Thieves' Guild, and countless Dragontooth Knights were roaming the streets, ready to attack any members of the Thieves' Guild that appeared before them.

Did the Dragontooth Knights discover the sewer mouth they had escaped? The remnants of the collapsed Thieves' Guild headquarters should have given the sewer mouth a perfect cover; The ability of any sound to travel extremely fast and far, Ness was sure to be running behind them. It's just mice. The ears of the dark elves, who are already more sensitive than other races and have been trained for many years, can naturally be trusted. This, coupled with the words of a certain Dragontooth Knight that they had just heard at the entrance of a certain cave, convinced the fugitives in the sewers that the Dragontooth Knights were now looking for their companions who had to disperse with them in the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild.

If you heard me right, it is certain that the archmages Archmage Akiman, Nia, and Isaac have escaped the collapse of the Thieves' Guild headquarters, dodged the dragontooth knights' swords and arrows, and managed to escape the dragontooth knights' encirclement. The Dragontooth Knight's voice passed through the stone fence that covered the entrance to the sewers and reached Elder Edgar, Nesse the Thief, and Amtils the Demon, "One is a human thief, another is a human mage, and one looks like a dark elf. They can fly, and there seems to be some powerful magical item on the human mage, so you must be careful when you encounter them. We lost more knights than expected when we destroyed the Thieves' Guild headquarters, and the Captain didn't want to suffer even more losses as he eliminated the few remnants of the Thieves' Guild. Let's go now, find them out, and remember that the Captain has no interest in containing any captives. ”

Count Brad Klein, who was in the national parliament of the Holy Asserr Empire, was quite unhappy at the moment. From his reports, it was known that the knights of the Dragon's Tooth Knights he brought to Onyx City had been quite smooth at first in their attack on the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, but when his men came to make a report, Count Brad Klein heard the news that the Dragon's Tooth Knights had lost nearly a hundred elite knights.

According to the report of the Earl's men, at least thirty Dragontooth Knights were in the midst of the collapse of the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, and none of them were able to escape, and the heavier losses came when the two mages and one thief escaped. The dark elf mage flew into the air with the human mage and the thief, and just as the crossbows of the dragontooth knights and the magic of the mages in the queue were about to hit them, the human mage who was originally in a coma did not know where to summon a large and terrifying black mist. Arrows, fireballs, and ice picks seemed to be completely ineffective under the black mist, and more than fifty Dragontooth Knights had just come into contact with the black mist. He fell to the ground and died. What's even more terrifying. There wasn't even a single wound on the corpses of these fallen Dragontooth Knights. It's as if the black mist that appeared out of thin air directly drained their souls from their bodies.

Rushing directly into the burning Thieves' Guild to eliminate the Emperor's murderers was a sign of heroism, but it was also utterly stupid, and the loss of his Dragon's Tooth Knight's life in such a situation was more displeasing to Count Brad Klein than the damage caused by the strange black mist unleashed by the human mage. The head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights knew very well that the 1,500-year-old Thieves' Guild could not be completely wiped out in such an attack, so the knights under the Earl's command once again received instructions from the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights: to focus their pursuit on those who disappeared with the black mist. In addition, each squad of Dragontooth Knights must be equipped with more than one mage, which may help to resist the murderous black fog.

Officials in the national parliament have begun their normal work. The flood of reports, official letters, and various applications from all parts of the Holy Asserr Empire had to be carried in more than three four-wheeled wagons, and after today's part was processed, the same weight would be placed on the officials' desks tomorrow. Therefore, it is definitely not a wise thing to put down the work at hand on the grounds of the unfortunate assassination of Emperor Anfil XXXIV.

But people have expressed their condolences to Anfil XXXIV in a variety of forms. During the thirty years of the reign of the XXXIV Anfil, he brought a lot of fresh air to the Holy Aserr Empire. For example, the border was opened to allow the wild elves of the West to enter and settle, and for example, the officials in the national parliament wore heavy dresses that were seven layers thick every day were replaced by flexible and general uniforms. The style of the uniform was designed by the emperor himself. Innovations such as these made a deep impression on the minds of his subjects. Thus. Since the news of the emperor's assassination spread to the people this morning, the clothes on the pedestrians on the streets of Onyx City have almost all been black belonging to the Grim Reaper, and even the owners of several hotels in the city have hurriedly purchased a lot of black coats and put them on the guests from other places in the hotel, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among the residents of Onyx City, who are in a sad state.

In the national parliament, officials have put on black coats over their uniforms, and the plain white covering on their desks has been replaced with black fabric. The knights of the three major orders were draped in a black gauze over their armor, and the cloak behind the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, Count Brad Crane, had also been changed to black, and the other two knights, the head of the Knights of the Holy Light and the archbishop of the Green Leaf Church, Zeni Keamo, wore a black sleeveless coat over his snow-white robes, and his green leaf priests were dressed in the same way.

Since two of the Ministers of Government, Military Affairs, and Finance, collectively known as the Empire's Triumvirate, are now in the midst of the loss of their loved ones, the state affairs of the Holy Asserr Empire can only be decided by the distant Earl Brad Klein for the time being. After all, Count Brad Klein was also a member of the royal family, and two other important figures in the court, Archbishop Zeni Keamo of the Green Leaf Church and Chancellor of the Exchequer Eugene Koma, promised to assist Count Brad Klein until the new emperor took office, so that the lives of the inhabitants of the Holy Acer Empire would be affected by the assassination of the emperor as little as possible.

However, with the exception of Princess Sayarily Klein, the children of the deceased Emperor Anfil XXXIV are now in the national parliament, except for Prince Verdor Klein and Prince Yagu Klein, who are hiding in their rooms and refusing to meet anyone. At this, Count Brad Klein could only let out a wry smile.

This morning, after issuing an order to his Dragontooth Knights to eliminate the Thieves' Guild, Lord Brad Klein turned and returned to the bedroom of the assassinated Emperor Anfil XXXIV.

As soon as the Earl stepped into the room, he saw Princess Sayari Crane, who had been lying beside the bed of Anfil XXXIV, close her eyes and slide to the ground. The Archbishop of the Green Leaf Church, Zeni Keamo, who was following the Earl, hurriedly walked over, and Baron Wesley Ruda, who had been scuffling with Prince Jacques Klein before the Count came downstairs, also pushed away the prince, who was trying to swell his other eye, and ran forward to help his wife up.

The princess only fainted on the spot due to excessive sadness, and the archbishop of the Green Leaf Church, who had been in charge of the medical affairs of the royal family all along, quickly made this judgment. Seeing his sister faint on the ground, Prince Yagu Crane was embarrassed to do anything more to his brother-in-law, so Baron Wesley Rueda picked up Princess Sayali Crane from the ground, turned around and walked downstairs. Ignoring the resentful gaze of the Secretary of State as he left, Prince Jacob Klein slowly sat down against the wall with his head in his hands.

Prince Verdor Klein, who had been oblivious to the farce between the head of the Blood Griffin Order and the Minister of State, stood up with a blank face and quietly left his dead father's room with his wife and son, followed by the Archbishop of the Green Leaf Church, Zeni Keamo. Then Count Brad Klein also silently went downstairs to wait for the follow-up troops of the Dragon's Tooth Knights, except for the elite knights led by the Earl himself, most of the Dragon's Tooth Knights came to Onyx City one step slower than them.

Instead of following the Emperor's route every morning when the Emperor parades the city, assigning the would-be Dragontooth Knights to Twin Tree Street, where the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild is located, Earl Brad Klein made his way to the National Assembly on the stone bridge between the islands. The guards guarding the entrance to the National Parliament told Count Sù that Prince Verdor Klein and Prince Jacgu Crane had gone back to their mansion to change into black mourning clothes, and had come to their chambers one after another. "Don't bother me! I don't want to see anyone!" these were the words that Prince Jacques Crane shouted at the guards at the gate and several high-ranking members of the Blood Griffin Order as he entered, and Prince Verdor Crane said the same to everyone through the Archbishop of the Green Leaf Church.

Count Brad Klein sighed slightly. At this time, a voice sounded behind the earl: "Lord Earl, I made you laugh just now." ”

The Earl turned his head, and the Chancellor with bruised eyes was stepping out of the carriage decorated with black flower balls.

"Cousin Sayari, she's fine, is she?" said Count Brad Klein's tone with obvious concern. Compared to the two cousins who have been at odds since childhood, the head of the Dragon's Tooth Knights is closer to his cousin, Princess Seary Klein.

"No, she's fine. It's just a moment of excessive sadness. Baron Wesley Ruda, carefully arranging the black mourning gown that was worn over his uniform, "I can't imagine that the rude Yagu could take fire out on me and make my eyes like this." (To be continued......)
