Chapter 4: The Holy Magic Codex
Parsa stood up with the help of the guards, and then said weakly to Byron: "I was miserable by Roger and Schroeder tonight, I wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible and leave the damn wine table, but soon I felt that the whole person couldn't even distinguish the direction." I don't even know how I got to this place. ”
"Your Excellency, this is the corridor outside the back garden of the palace. Byron replied, "We've been looking for you!"
"What's the matter? I don't think my current state will help you much!" Parsa said, bowing her head.
"Your Excellency, it seems that you have indeed drunk too much tonight, so let's send you home first! As for what I want to say to you, I will come to the door tomorrow and talk to you properly. Byron shook his head.
"No, no, no, Lord Byron, you are too polite, how dare I bother you, or I will come to the palace myself tomorrow to find you. But now my mind doesn't seem to be listening, I just want to get back to my house and get a good night's sleep in bed. Parsa waved her arm sluggishly.
"You go and call someone to stop the carriage outside the palace gates. I'll send Mistress Parsa home later. Byron ordered one of the guards and beckoned the two men who were holding Parsa to escort him away.
"Xiexie, Lord Byron!" Parsa was helped away by two soldiers of the Byron Guard.
"It's not a lot of peace tonight. Looking at Parsa's distant back, Lana sighed.
"What do you think of tonight's events, Lord Byron?" asked Kevin.
"What do you mean, Kevin?" asked Byron.
"Of course, our Archmage. Do you think it's a little strange for Lord Parsa tonight, Lord Byron?" asked Kevin.
"Parsa is a person who doesn't like lively places, and has been very withdrawn since he was a child, always preferring to hide alone in a secret room to study all kinds of magic. In an atmosphere like tonight's banquet, he was a little uncomfortable, and it was normal for him to behave a little abnormally. Byron said, "Lord Parsa is the king's cousin, my cousin. But in fact, his mother's identity is not honorable, and he has not been favored by his father since he was a child, so since he was a child, he has been very inferior, withdrawn, and not very gregarious. ”
"I wish I had been overwhelmed, my lord. "But I always felt that there must be a terrible secret behind the Cerberus and the subsequent disappearance of the body that appeared tonight." ”
"When Parsa comes tomorrow, I'll be sure to ask him what he thinks of the presence of Cerberus in the palace. As for tonight, in order to prevent such a dangerous guy from appearing again, the palace and the outside must be on guard. Byron said as he ordered Geraint, "Geraint, pass my order, send more men in the back garden tonight, patrol carefully, don't be careless." King Bixia must have had a very happy night tonight, and we must not let this little thing disturb King Bixia's interest!"
"Yes, Lord Byron!" Geraint took the order and began to immediately mobilize men, send more men, and have the Byron Guards patrol outside the back garden.
"It's getting late, let's all go back and rest first! Byron beckoned Lana and Kevin to leave.
"Then we'll go back first, Lord Byron. Lana responded.
Before leaving, Lana came up to Geraint again and said to him, "Geraint, I want to leave you something before I leave, I believe it will help you." ”
With that, Lana stretched out her right hand and drew an arc in front of Geraint's forehead, muttering some incantations in her mouth. Seeing a golden light flash along Lana's fingers, Geraint suddenly felt refreshed.
"Alright, Geraint. I've cast some perceptual magic on you, and you'll be very sensitive to the aura of darkness, at least from now until dawn. Lana said.
"Thank you very much for your generosity, Your Excellency. Geraint responded politely.
"Then we'll leave first, and I wish you all the best for the evening!" Kevin prayed and left the palace with Lana.
"My lord, you should rest early, I'll be here alone. After the two left, Geraint said to Byron.
"Geraint, my disciple, I believe in your strength. But you still have to be careful tonight. Byron smiled and patted Geraint on the shoulder, and left.
Geraint led the soldiers of the Byron Guard to patrol the inner courtyard of the palace. When they made their rounds to the back garden again, a gust of wind suddenly blew. The trees in the back garden rustled with the gust of wind, and Geraint looked up quickly and alertly to see a behemoth falling from the sky.
"Boom!" said Geraint and his guards quickly and neatly drew their swords and began to take cover.
The object descended from the sky and landed on the lawn of the garden with a commotion sound.
"I said, Geraint, what are you doing here, put away your horrible weapons, or Griffin will be in trouble if you're startled. A woman's voice came from the behemoth.
Geraint picked up a torch and approached to see that a griffon had landed in the king's back garden. Next to it stood a petite female elf with a pair of pointed ears and long blue hair. It turned out to be the leader of the griffin army of the Golden Dragon Knights, the witch Siluf, and the Griffin she said was the pet griffin beside her. No wonder the perceptual magic didn't work, Geraint thought to herself.
"Siluf, you're the one who scared us all. Geraint put away the sword in his hand and made a helpless look, "You look quiet on the surface, why are you so wild? This is a forbidden place in the palace, not a place for you to fool around." ”
"Hmph, Geraint. There's such an exciting thing tonight, and you didn't tell me?" said Siluff, who suddenly pursed her lips and asked Geraint.
"Where did you know about such a terrible thing, Siluf, and it's not a good night, so don't make any more trouble for me. Geraint looked at Siluv solemnly, "Especially since there are very dangerous things in this back garden, you better leave quickly." ”
"Hmph, what's the danger?" Siluv looked at Geraint with sexy eyes and brushed the griffon Griffin's hair, "With Griffin protecting me, there won't be any danger." Of course you're going to protect me, right, Geraint?"
"You'd better not play here, and Griffin is definitely going to be a bit of a stir here, and it's going to get everyone's attention. Gerante responded.
"Then I'll let Griffin go back first, but you'll have to let me go on your night patrol tonight. Siruf said, patting her pet griffon. I saw Griffin hiss, soar into the air, and slowly fly out of everyone's sight.
"Siluf, don't make a fuss, I must always be vigilant tonight, I don't have time to play with you. Geraint shook her head.
"Who wants you to play with me? I'm on patrol too, huh!" Siruv pursed her lips again.
Seeing the helpless expression on Geraint's face, the soldiers of the border guards couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.
At the same time, in an ancient building in the royal city, there is a dimly lit secret room, and the faint candlelight reflects a mysterious black figure. I saw that the man was holding a heavy ancient book in his hand, and his eyes were always staring at the cover of the book, and there were strange words on the cover. Suddenly, he slammed the book to the ground, spitting out expletives: "Damn, what Holy Magic Codex, I know it's you who caused me trouble." ”
But at this moment, the book that fell on the ground suddenly moved on its own, and the paper opened page by page......
