At the junction of Baicheng District and Wharf District, a nondescript leather goods store.

In the warehouse in the backyard, Logan, who has always been bold and steady, couldn't help frowning at this time. Since the hostages of the Dante family were rescued, a shadow has been secretly eyeing the Iron Fist Gang. Once a gang member is left alone, this person will quietly assassinate him, and in just a few days, more than ten lives have been taken.

The identity of the other party can be determined, it should be the killer sent by the Dante family. When it comes to the struggle at the top, Logan doesn't dare to make up his own mind, but he has asked his superiors many times, but the City Lord's Mansion has maintained an eerie silence.

"Big brother, we've been waiting for more than an hour......" The young man with the knife next to him obviously didn't have his patience, and hesitated to speak.

"Wait. Logan squeezed his hand. The furrier was the only point of contact between the two sides, and in most cases orders were relayed by the shopkeeper, and only on certain confidential matters would the white-faced and bearded prefect personally intervene. For example, a few days ago, the kidnapping of Prince Dante.

"But ......" the young man gritted his teeth and hung his head silently. The brothers who were wandering around together turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye, and no one could hold it down. But the black-clothed swordsman had a more sensitive sense of smell than a hound, and the Iron Fist Gang had also set up an ambush, but he easily saw through it, and killed the bait and left.

The young man went to the door and shook around, came back and squatted beside Logan, and asked in a sullen voice, "Big brother, what is the origin of the enemy?"

"Maybe it's a killer hired by the Dant family from out of town," Logan replied in a low voice seeing that no one else was in the treasury, "At least as far as I know, there are no such high-level demon warriors in Dover. ”

"Could it be the superior?" the young man's heart sank. He also participated in that ambush and witnessed the ghostly behavior of the other party. and magical swordsmanship.

"He gives me the feeling that he is more like a high-level pinnacle, just one step away from breaking through," Logan thought for a moment and shook his head, "but the stabbing sword in his hand." There are at least three magical effects attached to it, and I even suspect that it is the famous 'Hanging Light' ......"

"What 'Hanging Light'?" asked the young man who was just a beginner-level martial artist, his eyes wide.

"The transcendent longsword forged by the master craftsman Alwood has a magic attached to it that is not offensive 'Elemental Song', but as a result, it can make magic of different attributes coexist, such as fire and ice, wind and lightning. It's ever-changing, weird and hard to prevent. ”

"What are we going to do with him?" asked the young man worriedly.

"I have my own way, you can go to the front and have a look. Logan sighed and commanded. He sat on a bundle of leather, feeling a sense of foreboding.

It didn't take long for the young man to turn around and shake his head silently.

Logan thought for a moment. He stood up abruptly and beckoned. "Forget it, let's go back. ”

"Not waiting?" asked the young man, puzzled.

Logan shook his head and strode towards the back door, commanding as he went, "Gather all the brethren and assemble at the rat's nest." Don't go it alone today and tomorrow. ”

Lanaya's study, which is also her bedroom.

Except for a simple bed against the wall, there is only an old wardrobe, and a wooden table and chair under the windowsill.

Allegri glanced casually and saw several magic books stacked on the table. The titles are all such as "Analysis of the Architecture of the Magic Web". Or "Examples of the Application of the Four Rings Spells" or something like that.

"Mr. Igo, you may be seated. The girl turned sideways and told him to go first.

Allegri sat down, picked up a book, and flipped through a few pages. At the same time, Ranaya closed the door and closed the curtains for the first time, meditating for the first time, making sure that she was not disturbed by the outside world. In most magic academies, there are special ashrams for instructors and students to use.

"It's a pity that I don't have the magic spice of tranquility here. With everything ready, Lanaya moved a stool and sat down beside him.

"No, it's not the first time I've been," Allegri asked, putting down his book, "how do we get started?"

"First...... Close your eyes," the girl said softly, "Gathering your spiritual power into the sea of souls should be a breeze for you, sir." ”

Allegri bowed slightly, no different from the elementary meditation method he had learned before. It's just that in the traditional way, he senses the surrounding elements through his psychic power and demonizes them.

In the dry sea of souls, a trace of spiritual power precipitated from the crack, and immediately dissipated. The "Bright Godhead" in the corner still stayed there quietly, the external seal had long been lifted, and it emitted a faint white light, like a star projection, as if it was near and far away.

It was under its influence that Allegri's body continued to strengthen, and his mental power gradually returned to the level of a mid-level mage. However, this improvement, the higher you go, the slower it becomes, and now it is close to stagnation.

“…… Now, keep your mental power condensed and feel the magic web flowing around you," in a trance, Lanaya's soft voice sounded again, "It may be unresponsive at first, but don't give up...... This is just a preparation, and later I will cast the 'Arcane Lighthouse' to help you communicate with the web......"

"I feel it," she said, while she was still thinking about how to explain, when Allegri suddenly said, "What's next?"

"Huh?" the girl raised her eyes in surprise, and was dazed for a moment before replying, "Okay, very good, use spiritual power to connect to the sea of souls, and then wait patiently." ”

After saying this, Lanaya immediately sat upright and sang in a clear voice. The "Arcane Lighthouse" is a special Zero Ring spell that does not have any aggression, but temporarily transforms itself into a magic web hub, guiding the connection of the rookie mage.

In Allegri's feelings, the magic fluctuations in the girl in front of her gradually intensified, and slowly spread to herself.

Then, the girl's slightly cool finger touched the center of his eyebrows, and an extremely neutral flow of magic poured in. He tentatively used his spiritual power to meet it, and while he came into contact with the flow of magic power, his spiritual power quickly demonized, and the two sides became one.

"Quick, communicate with the sea of souls. As a spellcaster, Lanaya also felt the change and urged.

Under Allegri's precise control, the demonic spiritual power stretched to the sides, one end connected with the flow of magic. The other end quickly descended, reaching into the nearly dry sea of souls below.

Like the roots of a tree, they sink deep into the soil, and the moment the magic flow comes into contact with the sea of souls, the connection between the two sides is initially established.

It wasn't a difficult process, all the magicians of the Isle of Thraland. can establish this connection with the magic web. The difference is only in the amount of time consumed and the fit with the magic web.

"Mr. Igo is worthy of being a former magician...... "Estimating the time, it was only half an hour before and after, and Lanaya thought to herself, even if it was placed on the island of Thran, this would be considered shocking. It's just not clear, what is his fit, will it be higher than himself?

The girl thought as she lifted the "Mystery Lighthouse" state. Let Allegri connect directly to the Magic Web.

******

Is this the magic web?

Allegri's eyes closed slightly, feeling the magic flowing around him. Unlike before, he could not directly control them, nor could he restrain them through spiritual power, they seemed to have independent wills, which is the so-called magic web.

As Lanaya unleashed the spell, a steady stream of mana was replenished, matching the level of her mental power. It didn't take long. A shallow layer appeared in the sea of souls, and it was in mid-air. Countless spell models are suspended, like stars twinkling. Allegri looked around and found several familiar low-ring spells closest to him, and as he farther away, the construction of the spell model became more and more complex. From above the fourth ring, it begins to become vague and difficult to distinguish.

And between the sea and the sky, there is a stream of magic that is like a vine and a pillar. One end of it is rooted in the sea of souls, and the other end is into the bright starry sky. It is connected to the magic web.

Allegri's spiritual tentacles climbed up the vines to explore the mysteries. But as soon as he began to try, a majestic will suddenly descended, suppressing all his actions.

It was such a vast force that it put a lot of pressure on Allegri far beyond all the legendary professions he had ever encountered, even a hundredfold and a thousand times the difference. At this moment, Allegri felt like a mouse at the feet of a dragon, trembling and not daring to act rashly. According to Lanaya, this is the will of the magic net to determine the qualifications and strength of the new joiners, and it will be completed in a few seconds at most.

But a full half a minute passed, and Allegri could still feel the presence of the will of the magic net. The other party glanced at it again and again, as if he was uncertain, and seemed to be attracted by something, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time.

Seeing that he still hadn't woken up, Lanaya was a little anxious and began to cast another spell, "Reality Dao Mark".

In Allegri's sea of souls, the atmosphere was a little awkward. The wicked guest who should go is reluctant to go, and the pestle is in a daze at the door, and he asks the master what to do.

Allegri tentatively sensed, and this time his mental power was unimpeded. I kept climbing along the vines, and finally I actually left my soul sea and entered another boundless space.

Clouds of mist of different lusters, deep or shallow, large or small, are connected by empty lines, forming a complex three-dimensional network. The closest to him was a light gray mist, emitting the familiar fluctuations of magical power.

Is it Lanaya? Allegri thought to himself, and he looked far away, and saw that all the lines were converging in the center, and farther away, there were shadows and shadows, and it was impossible to distinguish between them.

It was really strange that Allegri was about to walk around when he felt his body sink and fall rapidly. The fog around him dissipated, and he returned to the sea of souls, through the bright starry sky, all the way to the tide of magic.

Before he opened his eyes, he seemed to see the vine, with vague tentacles of magical power growing, from the bottom to the top, a total of three layers.

Then, Lanaya's laughter came to her ears, "Are you awake......?

Dover, Lord's House.

"Have you heard of Gilvo, Arcane Hunter?" Claude asked tentatively, unsure of Desiris's role in the matter.

"Lord Blundel's contract warrior is said to be very powerful, and he is a high-ranking peak demon warrior. Desiris, dressed in a light blue evening dress, replied in a flat tone.

"He's been in Dover lately, and he's been guilty of quite a few murders," Claude continued to probe, "Does Lord Blundell know about that?"

"How do I know?" said Desires with a slight wave of her hand, "This is within the scope of the city lord's responsibility, you can handle it yourself." ”

"Are you okay?" Claude noticed her impatient tone.

"To celebrate the safe return of his son, Councilor Dent has invited me to a banquet," said Desires as she instructed the butler to prepare the carriage, "and I agreed." ”

"Banquet?" Claude asked, suspiciously, "this is not your style." ”

"What style?" Desires shrugged and snorted softly, "Do you think you know me well?"

Claude felt more and more that something was wrong, and he wanted to say anything more, but De Hires had already waved his hand to send off the guests, and when he was about to leave, she asked abruptly, "By the way, the docklands have been peaceful lately, right?"

"Of course. Claude replied without thinking.

"That's good. De Hiris nodded slightly, as if he was just asking casually, and did not put it on him.

But until the carriage slowly started, Claude still frowned slightly, thinking repeatedly about Desiris's unusual behavior and the inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth.

"My lord?" came the voice of the chief officer by the window.

"What's the matter?" Claude asked, turning his head.

"News has come from the Southern Highlands that they have intercepted the Dover envoys, who are being escorted by the six-ring wind Famoret, but have not found Donadoni's relics. The presiding officer replied in a low voice.

"Forget it, it's just one less chance to build momentum," Claude waved his hand and asked again, "How's it going on with Logan?"

"At your command, all contact with him has been severed," replied the presiding officer, "the Iron Fist have suffered heavy losses under the pursuit of the Arcane Hunters, and Logan, despite his strength, should not survive for more than a few days." ”

"It's a pity," Claude sighed, "but if he can get this thing done, it will be considered a well-deserved death, after all, at this time, it is better to avoid a direct conflict with Blundell." ”

The chief registrar nodded yes, and then asked, "My lord, what if Logan was not dead, but was captured alive?"

"Hmm...... That's a problem," Claude thought for a moment, and then commanded softly, "send someone to inform Paland, so that he can be ready to strike at any moment." ”
