The roar of the deep-sea monster is bound to set off a raging wave.

But before this wave rises, it is difficult to perceive that a deadly crisis has been born and is getting closer.

"It's going to change......"

Looking at the gloomy clouds looming at the end of the sea level, the young man sitting in the watchtower of the church bell tower said to his friend Anthony:

"It's a rarity. The last time it rained was on the day of the Templar exam, and it hasn't been long since then. ”

"yes."

The blonde Anthony sat beside him, head bowed, and kept wiping a medal with a white handkerchief, "It was an unforgettable day. ”

"After all, I got the first place."

The friend with light brown hair said with a smile: "More importantly, with the appreciation of that old gentleman, there is also a chance to be received by the royal family." ”

"It doesn't seem to be very important either."

"Oh? How so? ”

"When is the meeting?"

After wiping the medal in his hand and putting it away, the handsome Anthony took out another one, and while wiping it, he said absentmindedly:

"Maybe tomorrow? Maybe never will? ”

"So you're worried about this? Don't worry, didn't that old gentleman say that it depends on a big man named Ergongzi, can he take time out of tedious official business? ”

The friend said comfortingly: "Who is the royal family?" I definitely won't miss the appointment. What you have to do now is to wait patiently and be ready to face this opportunity with the best attitude and face the noble second son. ”

"At the beginning, in order to sharpen your will, you have endured so many years of penance and travel in the country, and you still care about the past few days?"

Anthony just smiled and didn't speak.

After sitting on the bench and wiping the medal with his head down for a long time, he suddenly said: "This is not my achievement." ”

"What?"

"The number one was supposed to be Andy's, not me."

"Andy?"

The friend frowned when he heard this.

Thinking of the thin boy who had terrified him, he was a little displeased.

"What do you want him to do with a person who is no longer in the stream?"

"But is that really good?"

Looking up at his friend, Anthony's tone was a little puzzled, "I was appreciated by the old gentleman, but the old gentleman didn't seem to pay much attention to me at all." And, and those people say—"

"Those people say that you got the first place by flattery, not by real strength."

The friend interrupted Anthony's words in a disapproving tone, "But before the assessment, they also said that you are the strongest rising star in your country." ”

"The same people say different things, tossing and turning, it's like farting – what do you care about?"

"I don't really care what people say."

Anthony's tone was inexplicable, "But this kind of thing is not in line with the path of the paladin at all...... During this time, I thought about it carefully, why I couldn't face the devil's will at that time, and I couldn't compare to Andy? ”

"Because I have fallen."

"Are you trying to say that your pure will and faith have been tainted by the lust for power?"

My friend laughed when he heard this, "But that's how the world is?" Without the appreciation of the big guys, without the cultivation of the big guys, what do you take to climb the path of the paladin? ”

"On your own?"

Anthony was silent.

Seeing this, his friend comforted him and said, "Don't worry, everyone is like this, it's not a big deal." ”

"I can't bear it, after you grow up and become a big man, wouldn't it be good to help that Andy in turn?"

Help Andy?

Well......

This is a remedy.

Anthony thought for a moment, then nodded.

Then he continued to wipe the family medal of honor in his hand.

This is the object he is going to wear when he is received by the legendary second prince of the royal family in the future, and it must be carefully cared for and there must be no flaws.

And now that you have figured out the road to "salvation", you naturally don't have to care about the inner entanglement.

So Anthony was very focused.

The friend was very relieved to see this, and turned his eyes back to the scenery outside the clock tower, but suddenly sighed.

"Where did the shrike come from?"

"You're not afraid of people?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger to touch the black bird that landed in front of him, but the other party was so clever that he flapped his wings and flew farther away!

But it didn't leave completely, but always stared at the two young people in the lookout with those dark eyes.

Seeing this, the friend smiled and said to Anthony: "This kind of bird is the most annoying, and eats not only insects, but also other birds. On our side, we call it the butcher bird. ”

"Butcher?"

Anthony, who wiped the medal, said casually: "It's very bad to hear it." ”

"yes, it's not very auspicious......"

……

York Harbour, inside the Mayor's Office.

The middle-aged mayor, who got rid of the secretary and was about to go to the window with a cigarette afterwards, also saw a bird that was landing outside the window and staring at him closely.

"Where did the shrike come from?"

He wondered why the bird was in his country.

"What's so strange about a bird?"

The female secretary, who was sitting on the desk with her legs crossed, touched up her makeup and said, "Do you still think that it was sent by your wife to keep an eye on us?" ”

"If she has this ability, I can wake up laughing in my dreams."

The polite middle-aged mayor snorted lightly, and then didn't take the bird seriously.

Picking up a cigarette, lighting the fire, and after a few puffs, he said contentedly: "Without Cardin to make trouble for me, I would have lived a comfortable life." ”

"Cardin?"

Hearing the name of the former police chief of York Harbour, the female secretary couldn't help but wonder, "Who did he offend?" Why did you suddenly disappear? ”

"Amazing people."

The mayor said meaningfully: "Cardin is an idiot, I have long seen that something is wrong with him, but I didn't expect that he would dare to offend such a big man beyond his means?" ”

"Who the hell is it?"

The female secretary's curiosity became stronger and stronger, "Could it be that it can still be Mr. President?" ”

President?

The mayor just smiled mysteriously when he heard this, and did not satisfy her thoughts, "Ask so much about what to do, you just need to know that he is my backer." ”

"Backer? When did you have a backer? ”

"Recently, of course. Who do you think gave the clues to the big guys first? ”

"That's ......"

The female secretary was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at the mayor with adoring eyes, as if she was looking at a hero.

This greatly satisfies the mayor's vanity.

However, in his view, women are only an accessory to power, a spice, not a necessity of life.

So although he was satisfied, he was very calm in his heart.

Calm and full of anticipation.

"Rounding up that boy is probably the most correct thing I've ever done in my life."

"It's not a dream to successfully catch up with that old gentleman and become president in the future......

Thinking of the apprehensive feeling at that time, when he went to report the ridiculous police chief, the old gentleman said kindly, "Well done." ”

The middle-aged mayor's heart rose with great satisfaction.

It's much stronger than what I got in a female secretary before!

"Unfortunately, I didn't find any clues to the boy's whereabouts."

He was then dissatisfied with the result, "only providing the addresses of Cardin's wife and daughter." I don't think it's going to be of much use......"

Thinking like this, I saw that the shrike bird outside the window never left, but stared at himself with those eyes without blinking, dark and deep, and a little panicked.

The mayor then opened the window and was about to blast it away.

As a result, before he could catch up, the bird flew to the bulge of the wall next to him, which was out of his arm's reach, and then continued to stare at him.

It's ridiculous to be provoked by a brute.

"Bring me my shotgun!"

The middle-aged mayor then turned to the female secretary and said, "I don't know where the stupid bird came from, that look looks like I have killed its whole family." ”

……

The sun's brilliance gradually became enveloped by dark clouds, and the shrike flock under the dark clouds continued to fall.

It falls in York Harbour, in the neighboring city of Gibson, in the transportation hub Anka, and in Bernard, the capital of York......

There are a lot of them, but they are so scattered that they are not noticed by many people.

Even the housekeeper in the building found himself being targeted by a bird, and he didn't realize what it meant.

The storm is constantly brewing, and a bloody storm is already predictable.

However, all this has not affected Andy so far.

At this time, Andy was squatting at the foot of the bed in the bedroom, staring at the black dough in the suitcase.

The surface of the dough is constantly raising "spikes" at this moment, which looks sharp, but when you reach out and touch it, you don't feel the slightest sting, and the feeling of being corroded by the evil force is gone.

Andy smiled as a result.

In three days, the evil spirit has risen spiritually, and it will no longer attack his master!

It's a lot of work.

Because in the past three days, he has not only awakened the wisdom of evil spirits with medicinal potions, but also constantly used spirits to communicate and pass on some skills and knowledge.

Otherwise, even if the intelligence is greatly increased, it will be difficult for the evil spirit to control its instinctive malice and erosion of life for a while.

Now, that's no longer a problem.

In other words, this thing is already useful!

Andy then poked his fingers into the "dough", and when his mind turned, the order was given, and a cool feeling began to emerge from his fingers, spreading all over his body.

It wasn't the infiltration of some kind of power, but the black "dough" crawled down Andy's body like a stream of water!

The speed was very fast, and the process did not last long, about dozens of seconds, and the black-haired boy who was originally wearing a simple white shirt and jeans had already been wrapped into a black "mud figure".

The image of the clay figure is extremely poor, and the facial features and limbs are wrapped in the surging black "mud", which at first glance looks very terrifying.

But when he stood up and walked outside the bedroom door, the black mud was rapidly "fading"!

From wrapping the whole body to filling the gap.

From a full of gaps, it becomes a terrifying image with a large number of black blood vessels bulging on the surface of the skin.

In the end, all the bulging strange blood vessels dissipated, and Andy's exposed skin had returned to its normal appearance!

"Good at hidden evil spirits, it's quite suitable for pets......"

He muttered the words, and his right index finger touched a vase on the living room table.

Then, with just a tap of his fingertips, the vase, which should have been firm, instantly shattered into a heap!

Seeing that the white ceramic shards were scattered all over the ground, and there were some inconspicuous black gases on the angular surface, Andy couldn't help frowning.

But before he could think about it, there was a sudden and loud movement outside the wooden house!

Andy turned his head to look out, but he didn't see anything at all.

But the sound intensified.

Piercing, sharp, and full of ominous aura, like an air raid siren, it constantly echoes over the island and is heard by all!

As if to say, danger is approaching!

Lots of danger!
