After Braque left, Herag had one more job in addition to his daily meditation practice, studying, and teasing Shatia.

That is, from time to time, I will patrol around the Black Rock Valley, count the number of people every day, and check if there is any abnormality in everyone's state.

He is now the sole official wizard of the Black Rock Valley, and has absolute control over anyone.

After a few days, Herag found nothing wrong.

These people were all old men, and at least they stayed for seven years.

In the entire Black Rock Valley, Herag came for the shortest time.

Gerag would make his rounds twice a day, in the morning and once in the evening, and only after checking that there were no problems did he return to the castle to continue his business.

Five days later, Braque was still out and hadn't returned.

In the dead of night, Herag lay in bed and meditated with his eyes closed, and Shatia was already asleep next to him.

In the distance, at the westernmost edge of the Potions Garden, there were rows of houses.

This is where the wizard apprentices and knights who tend to the Potions Garden live, and most of them are already asleep at this point.

But now, seven people sat up from their beds, looking around with complicated eyes.

The castle where Herag lived was located in the northernmost part of the Black Rock Valley, far away from here, and beyond the detection range of the dark blue environment, so he didn't notice the movement of the seven people.

The seven men got up from their beds, stood in front of the bed or in the open space of the room, and took out a dagger or a long sword.

Their expressions were a little complicated, and they seemed to be struggling inside, but they didn't hesitate in the slightest move, and they all slit open their stomachs with weapons, and then fell to the ground.

Blood flowed from them and spread to the ground.

The position of these seven people is just enough to be connected into a strange rune, and the blood seems to echo each other.

A circular circle appeared above the residential area, and two figures appeared in the middle of the circle.

The mana fluctuations spread, alarming Herag, who was meditating.

He immediately opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the residential area.

"Such a strong mana fluctuation ......"

Sensing something was wrong, Gerag went to the next door and knocked on Shatia's door.

Shatia opened the door with sleepy eyes, wearing a small suspender belt to highlight her figure.

She didn't notice this, but asked, "My lord, is there something wrong?" ”

"You go to the basement immediately, something might be going to happen. I don't call you, you don't come out. Herag commanded with a solemn expression.

Seeing his solemn expression, Shatiya instantly sobered up, and she also felt a powerful wave of magical power.

When Herag had finished his order, he left, and Shatia took her maid's outfit and trotted into the basement to take refuge.

When Herag came to the outside of the castle, Lennon was still asleep in the gatehouse, and Herag did not wake him.

"This distance should be enough."

Herag came to the limit detection range of the deep blue and observed the situation in the western residential area.

Two men appeared above the residential area, quickly alarming the wizarding apprentices and knights below.

One of the two is a white-haired old man and the other is a middle-aged man.

The old man looked at the people who ran out to look at him in horror below, and the magic power in his hands quickly gathered, and then said softly: "Ice rain." ”

Countless ice picks formed over the residential area and then rained down like a torrential rain, piercing the bodies of the group below.

Even the wizard apprentice who was hiding in the house was pierced through the stomach by an ice pick and stuck to the ground.

There were also quick-witted wizard apprentices who escaped a round of icicles, but then, after another round of ice rain, all the wizard apprentices and knights in the entire residential area died.

"A crystallization wizard, a liquefaction wizard."

Herag quickly learned about the strength of the two through Deep Blue, and began to grow his head.

The exit to the Black Rock Valley was at the southernmost edge, and he was at the northernmost point, so it was impossible for the two official wizards to escape from the Black Rock Valley without the two official wizards noticing.

"Terry, according to the intelligence, there is also a first-level wizard in the castle over there. It's a potions master, not long after he was promoted, and he doesn't have much combat power. Go and get rid of him, and then come over and help me take control of the Witch Circle. ”

The old man took out a long red crystal in his hand, looked in the direction of the castle, and said.

The middle-aged man, Terry, nodded and said, "Okay lord, I'll go and go back quickly." ”

According to their information, Brak was still in another Potions Garden far away.

Now there is only one first-level wizard in the entire Black Rock Valley, and this first-level wizard has just been promoted for less than a year, and he is still in the gasification stage.

Terry is a liquefied wizard, which is more than enough to deal with this kind of novice gasification wizard, and the old man doesn't take Herag to heart at all.

Both of them are members of the Moss family, and they have arranged for people to enter the Church family many years ago.

The seven wizard apprentices who committed suicide were arranged by them.

After all these years of not letting these wizard apprentices do anything, and behaving exactly like everyone else, it is naturally impossible for the Church family to find anything.

The Moss family had coveted this place in the Black Rock Valley for many years, and had arranged for it many years ago in order to seize it.

Now that Brak is out of the Black Rock Valley and can't return anytime soon, it's the best time for them to do it.

It is difficult for the second-level witch array to break through from the outside, and the Moss family will naturally not choose to attack.

But it's not the same if it's done from the inside.

The seven dead wizard apprentices were all hidden in their bodies, and they only triggered when they died.

After these seven people died, the spell runes hidden in their bodies would be connected to form a temporary teleportation array.

It's just that this witch array is not very stable, and it can only send two people in at most.

After Brak left, one crystallized wizard and the other liquefied wizard, they could enter the Black Rock Valley as if they were in a no-man's land.

The red crystal in the old man's hand was obtained from the Land of Dawn, and it could seize control of the witch circle.

But it had to be inside the Witch Circle, and it took a lot of time, about three hours.

Even if the people of the Church family got the news and rushed over, it would be impossible for them to reach the Black Rock Valley in three hours.

When the time comes, the Moss family will control the witch array, and the Black Rock Valley will be able to belong to the Moss family.

At the same time, the Moss family also dispatched men and horses in several other places, with the aim of severely inflicting a blow on the Church family at once and completely knocking them off the top of the Potions control chain.

There are too many interests involved, and the Moss family has been planning for a long time.

This time, it will be the final word, and it will not give the Church family much time to react.

The most important part of the whole project is the Black Rock Valley.

This is the largest and most important Potions Garden base of the Church family, and if they can't control it, the Church family will be able to make a comeback even if they are seriously damaged.
