Chapter 6: Garden Enchantment

"Lord Byron, what did you do with me last night?" Parsa asked first.

"Your Excellency, you must have heard of the Three-Headed Hellhound?" Byron asked.

"You mean the infamous demonic creatures? I've only seen them in books. Parsa said.

"But last night what was in the book became a reality. Byron grimaced, "We went out on patrol in the middle of the dinner, and a real three-headed hellhound popped up in the back garden. ”

"Oh my God, this is terrible!" Parsa made a surprised expression, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?

"It was a dangerous situation, but Gerant managed to kill it. "We don't know where it came from, or how it came from inside the palace." ”

"Knight Geraint is the man who will inherit your mantle, hehe!" Parsa laughed, "since you have already dealt with that Cerberus, where is its corpse?" take me to see it, I think I can help." ”

"Its corpse...... That's why I'm here for you. Byron shook his head, "The body of that Cerberus, although I sent many guards to guard it at the time, turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared mysteriously. ”

"The goddess of light is above! so much happened last night. Parsa looked surprised, "If you hadn't told me yourself, Lord Byron, I would have thought it was a very boring joke." ”

"We didn't want that to affect the mood at the King's Dinner, so we wanted to get you out to the back garden last night to help see the body of that Cerberus. Byron said.

"The body is gone, but I don't mind if you take me to the back garden. Parsa motioned to Byron that the two of them could go back to the back garden together and see if they could find any clues.

At noon in the royal city, the eastern sky was dyed with roses and gold because of the effect of the Holy Light Enchantment. At this time, the garden is particularly fragrant, with many flowers and vines entwined with the ornate carved balustrades, and the morning dew has faded, allowing the garden to gradually overflow with light. The soil and grass of the garden are planted with blue flowers, and marble statues are placed among the lush bushes. The fountain in the garden was filled with white mist and began to play a pleasant song, and those who approached the fountain could faintly feel the splash on their faces. It's hard to think of the horrific scene that happened last night.

"You mean the Cerberus was found in this dwarf tree in the garden?" Parsa said, pointing to a dwarf tree next to a statue.

"That's right, that thing must have been scurrying around the palace in the first place, and we found it and fled into this garden. Byron described the scene that had happened last night, "It was hiding in this low tree. Due to Kevin's magic, it is revealed. At that time, the Cerberus also tried to attack the person who found it, which was my disciple Geraint, but was quickly dealt with by Geraint. ”

"Geraint? This guy's bad luck. Parsa thought to herself.

Parsa stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to sense the dwarf tree and the place around it, and after casting a detection spell to examine it carefully, he sighed and replied very simply, "I don't feel anything unusual here." ”

"Archmage, can't you find a clue?" Byron sighed.

"After all, I didn't see directly what you were talking about. If it is only through the description of the person's mouth, it cannot be the basis for my judgment. Parsa shook her head, "And I remember that the Cerberus recorded in the ancient books was a creature from the Demon Realm. But where the Demon Realm is, and whether there is a Demon Realm or not, is still a question. ”

"It seems that I can only send more people in the past few days to strengthen the vigilance of the palace in case monsters reappear. Byron said, "But I still don't understand how the interior of the royal city, which is protected by the Holy Light Barrier, is stained with darkness. ”

"I think there may be someone who knows dark magic hiding in some corner of the royal city. Parsa said solemnly, "I can't think of anything else." ”

"There's no one in the entire kingdom of Reims who has studied magic more than you, right?" asked Byron suddenly.

"But that's true, Lord Byron. You are also very aware of the strength of our Black Dragon Demon Wizard Knights, but dark magic is only a legend after all, and it is not easy to find someone who understands dark magic. Even we, the Black Dragon Knights, have never met anyone who knows dark magic. If we Black Dragon Knights go out to search for the whole city, it may be rewarding, but I'm afraid it will cause panic among innocent civilians. Parsa thought for a moment and said.

"Do you have any more suggestions?" asked Byron again.

"Since Cerberus was the first to be found in the garden, I can lay an enchantment in the garden. Legend has it that these monsters in the Demon Realm are summoned through dark magic, so as long as there is my enchantment at the moment when the Demon Realm space is opened, everything summoned by the dark space will be devoured. Parsa said, "However, it takes a certain amount of manpower and material resources to maintain the barrier. ”

"I think I'll do my best to meet all your needs, Your Excellency Archmage. Byron agreed.

"Actually, I don't need anything special, as long as I send a few subordinates from the mage army of the Black Dragon Demon Knights to be stationed in the palace and maintain the enchantment through magic. Parsa asked, "I wonder if Lord Byron agrees with my suggestion?"

"But we weren't sure that Cerberus had been summoned from the garden. Byron said, "And the palace has always been guarded by our Golden Dragon Knights, and if the Black Dragon Knights need to be stationed, they must obtain permission from King Bixia." ”

"Yes, everything here is subject to the arrangements of King Bixia and Lord Byron. Parsa sneered.

"No, it should be only the arrangement of King Bixia. It's getting late, and we're going to meet King Bixia together. Byron said, telling Parsa to return to the palace with him.

"Why are you two so late today?" Roy said with a smile when he saw Byron and Parsa, "I thought I would make you wait a long time when I got up late this morning after drinking too much last night." Hehe, did you drink a lot last night?"

"No, Honorable King Bixia. Byron knelt down on one knee and said to Roy, "Actually, something strange happened in the palace last night. In your back garden, we found a monster that is only known in the legendary Demon Realm. ”

"Hah-Byron. You mean the Demon Realm?" Roy suddenly laughed, "That story sounds funny!"

"King Bixia, I think this matter needs to be on our high alert, so in the morning I asked Lord Parsa to go with you to your back garden to investigate again. Although we have not found any clues, His Excellency Archmage seems to have come up with a good idea. ”

"Yes, King Bixia. I'm going to lay an enchantment in your back garden, which is only useful for dark magic, and doesn't have any effect on us ordinary people. This prevents some strange things from other spaces from breaking into our shijie. And King Bixia, you can still enjoy the garden as if nothing had happened. Parsa said, "But the enchantment needs to be maintained by our Black Dragon Wizard Knights, and I wonder if King Bixia agrees that we and the Golden Dragon Knights will be responsible for guarding the palace in the future." ”

"Parsa, it's great that you're willing to share your worries with me and Byron. Roy smiled, "The kingdom of Reims will surely prosper forever with a virtuous minister like you." ”

"Understood, my esteemed Bixia, I'll immediately arrange for the men who will maintain the barrier. With that, Parsa got up and stepped back.

"Why do I have a hunch of unhappiness, Byron? After waiting for Parsa to leave, Roy said to Byron, "Is it a bad omen that this will happen on the day of the twentieth anniversary of my accession to the throne?"

"What do you say, King Bixia?" said Byron, rising from his feet, "and your country will surely prosper forever." ”

That night, in the secret room where Kaos, the Lord of Chaos, appeared, the mysterious man was again consulting his "Holy Magic Book".

"If you want to use the spell 'Dark Winding', you must sacrifice the blood of nine children. Kaos made a somber voice.

"Looks like I need to take care of it again. There must be someone at the palace who is ready to deal with it. The mystery man laughed.
