At night, heavy rain poured down, and the rain continued to wash the ancient city walls, and lightning and thunder thundered over the royal city. The lightning and lightning light and the enchantment light complemented each other, forming a strange scene in the floating city. But Byron was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery at this time, because he was constantly worried about the recent murders in the city and the assassination in the back garden.

"Lord Byron, I have news for you. Suddenly, the Rev. Kevin braved the heavy rain and rushed to the palace where Byron was resting.

"It's Kevin, you're a lot old, and it's raining so hard tonight, if it's not an emergency, you can just send a guard to send a message. Why bother to come here yourself?" Byron said when he saw Kevin.

"Lord Byron, you have put me in charge of interrogating the prisoner who assassinated the king. After a day of interrogation, I found out that he was indeed under some kind of mental control. That's all this guy is repeating right now. But my use of the Holy Light on him had no effect. Kevin sighed.

"It seems to be the same as Parsa said, it's a kind of dark magic that controls people's minds. Byron said.

"But one thing I know for sure. Kevin nodded, "From the perspective of my failure in the Holy Light Technique, the person who used dark magic on this prisoner is definitely above me. ”

"Kevin, in the entire Lance Kingdom, there are not many people who are stronger than you in terms of magic. Byron said, "In our Five Dragons Knights, apart from Lord Parsa and Lord Jona, it may be difficult to find a third person. ”

"As for the other magician, Fanny, it is impossible for me to do such a thing with what I know of her. Even I was a little afraid of her at times, but I didn't believe she would fall to this point. Byron analyzed.

"Fanny, she's only interested in how to keep her youth young. She must not have bothered to study that evil dark magic. Of course, I have to say that she is now 200 years old, but it is not easy to look as young as Lana. Kevin said, "As for Lord Parsa......"

"Lord Parsa is now in a cabin on the island in the middle of the lake because of this. "He's been trying to prove his innocence and telling us that there may be people of the Dark Race." ”

"The Dark?" Kevin said after a moment's thought, "It's all a legend from over five hundred years ago. ”

"The legendary battle of the Holy Demon took thousands of years and was very tragic. I went to the Royal Library in the afternoon, where I looked up some accounts related to the Great War of the Holy Demons. In this war, our ancestors paid a terrible price to achieve the final victory. Byron said, "If the people of the Dark Race reappear on this shijie, then humanity will face another catastrophe." ”

"But will the people of the Dark Clan reappear in this era?" Kevin had a puzzled look on his face, "When I was a child, I often heard some elders in the family tell a lot of stories about the Holy Demon War. Legend has it that more than 500 years ago, the Dark Clan was finally wiped out by the Radiant Clan. And our kingdom of Reims was founded by the descendants of the Radiant bloodline. If nothing else, our king Bixia should be a descendant of the Radiant Clan. ”

"I hope things don't go the way we just thought. "Today I have received news that in the evening another child has been killed in a forest in the royal city. However, Lord Parsa has been placed on the island in the middle of the lake, proving that the murderer is someone else, and that he wants to frame Lord Parsa. We've already started investigating the shift change of the Black Dragon Knights who maintained the barrier that day, but ......"

"But judging from the shift records of the Black Dragon Knights, the few magicians who left the palace are not suspicious for the time being?" Kevin's face also became solemn, "It seems that we don't know what kind of enemies we are going to face, and what terrible secrets are still hidden in their hands. ”

"If you want to know more about the Dark Clan, I suggest you check out the Royal Library again, I'm sure you'll get something out of it. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the door, interrupting the conversation between them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I just happened to have something coming to you, Lord Byron. "I saw a female elf with long blue hair and a cyan mage's robe walk up to Byron.

"We talked about you just now, and we didn't expect you to appear in front of us so soon. Kevin's smile returned.

"I guess you're talking bad about me again, what a two-hundred-year-old broken old woman or something......" It turns out that this person is the Fanny that Byron talked about just now.

"We're complimenting you on your beauty, Fanny. Kevin responded immediately.

"Didn't you mean I'm old?" Vannie glared at Kevin. Although Fanny is a female elf who is more than two hundred years old, her appearance is no different from that of a young female elf. It is said that in her twenties, she mastered a magical magic that allowed her heart to beat at a rate comparable to that of an average person in a day. In this way, more than 200 years is equivalent to just over 200 days for her. And because she is young and beautiful, and her personality is very sharp, Fanny has become one of the few women who can make Byron feel afraid.

"Ahem...... I said, Fanny, you didn't just come to us to find out what we said bad things about you, did you?" Byron coughed lightly, "You'd better hurry up and explain what you mean." ”

"Lord Byron, I have heard a number of things that have happened in the royal city lately, including the mysterious murder of many children and the assassination of the king. Fanny said, "These things have to do with dark magic. ”

"That's what Parsa said to me, too. Byron nodded.

So I went to the Royal Library. Fanny said.

"You've always been a person in the Golden Dragon Knights who don't like to show your head. Many members of the Order barely know you exist. Today, you actually took the initiative to come to the door, presumably after you went to the Royal Library, there must be something important after you made a major discovery. Kevin glanced at her.

"That's right, because more than a hundred years ago, I heard from my father a secret that was little known in the entire kingdom of Reims. Fanny said.

"Tell me about Fanny. Byron was immediately intrigued.

"In our kingdom's royal library, there is a sealed copy of the Holy Magic Book that tells the story of the Holy Demon's thousand-year war. We don't know who the author is, but it is said that in this "Holy Magic Codex", many unknown histories of the Holy Demon Millennium War are recorded. There are also descriptions of various mysterious treasures and fantasy magic. I'm sure there will be a lot of documentation of dark magic. "The Code has been sealed in a secret room in the Royal Library, protected by a magic circle. But today, I followed the route my father had described, and came to that secret room. It turned out that the chamber was empty. ”

"So the book has been taken by someone else?" Byron became nervous.

"It would be terrible if this book fell into the hands of some person with ulterior motives. Fanny's face was solemn, "What worries me the most is that everything that is happening now is related to this book. ”

"Then we can narrow down the target a lot. Byron thought for a moment, "The only people who can enter the royal library are usually those members of the royal family and the nobles, as well as some of the library's caretakers. ”

"Someone, pass on my order, immediately investigate all the records of entry and exit of the Royal Library in the past six months, and search all personnel who have entered the Royal Library. Byron summoned the soldiers of the Byron Guards and gave the order.

"The library keepers and maintainers are fine, but it's quite difficult to investigate the members of the royal family, right?" Kevin asked, "and if the secrets of the Holy Magic Book were fully revealed, I think it would cause panic among everyone." ”

"On the royal side, I will ask King Bixia to issue a charter. We can't wait for things to spread. Byron was firm, "Fanny, your information today is very timely, thank you so much." ”

"What do you say, Lord Byron?" said Fanny, winking at Byron, "Why don't you invite me to dinner to-morrow night?" ”

"Barbecue ......" Byron thought of something, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his head.
