Destiny Thief

Chapter 40 Divergence IV

Spike quickly picked out a few bottles of the reagents placed in the bookcase. He held an alchemy pen on his fingerbone. Spike's subordinates kept moving and began to mutter words. A magic circle composed of various geometric figures and strange characters formed rapidly.On the desk, a piece of clean parchment gradually had a faint silver-white light spot.

This is a miniature version of the retrospective magic circle, only the size of a dinner plate. Inside the circular edge, a three-arrow symbol is particularly conspicuous in the bright light-the successful casting of this kind of spell usually requires a medium.

The phalanx of the index finger of Spike's right hand was inserted into a narrow-mouthed reagent bottle, the liquid wet the phalanx, and then dipped into a small pile of powder from the ring on the desk—

The powder was transferred from the phalanx to the triangular symbol in the magic circle—the lich's eye sockets seemed to be stuffed with dry wood, and the red soul fire suddenly burned blazingly.He saw a picture.

The scorching eye's disgusting white light ball magnified in the field of vision, there was a scream of "quack", and the black feathers fluttered - this shortened version of the retrospective magic circle only lasts three seconds, but in these three seconds, Spike has already understood that he What happened to "Little Willie"?

"May the soul rest in peace!"

Spike chanted the prayer softly, pulled the black cloak tight around him, grabbed the staff and walked outside the house.Perhaps for others, "Little Willie" is just an owl transformed by alchemy, but for the Lich, this animal that has accompanied him for several years and spent the long lonely years is undoubtedly his closest companion , over the course of hundreds of years, former relatives have died one after another. In the world of living things, the flow of time has washed away the traces of "Spike".After choosing eternal life, "Little Willy" has become his most important relative in his clear memory——

Although, it's an owl.

Spike is not a crazy, violent, insane lich, nor has he done any appalling and bloody things such as massacres in legends. He has always maintained calm and rationality when his bottom limit has not been touched.But this time, with the death of "Little Willie", the flames of anger have spread to his limbs and bones.

Holy Hui Church, unforgivable!
"Unforgivable!"

Colliver, the high priest from the holy city of Vest and one of the bishops of the Holy Glory Church, frowned.The young knights ran out of the window of the tavern, and when they were about to bend down to pick up the owl's feathers from the ground, the dirty black feathers exploded instantly, and the black smoke rushed straight into the faces of the knights——

Clover waved his hand and released a golden barrier of light, firmly blocking the black smoke——As a senior high priest, looking at the clean ground, there was no wreckage of the undead owl on the street. Understand the meaning of the explosion.

The evil necromancer is destroying the evidence of the pursuit.At the same time, the black smoke contained a curse.Although Clover couldn't tell what kind of curse it was from this short moment, no matter what, he couldn't just watch the young knights being plotted in front of him.

"Sir and madam, your food!"

The tavern was still busy, and the waiter was followed by a companion. The two carried a huge tray, and put plates of white bread, lamb chops, and smoked pheasant on the dining table, and the steaming mushroom soup was also served. After the table, there is a whole big basin, which is enough even for the gourmets.

Glo nodded to the two waiters.After putting the food on the table one by one, the two waiters said in unison, "Please take your time!", and bowed out of the box.

With the arrival of the food, the atmosphere in the box became lively again, and the bandit leader deliberately downplayed things about [Jatis] and the nobles.Glo picked up the spoon, scooped out a small bowl of mushroom soup, and pushed it in front of the mage beside him, "Radia, how about trying the mushroom soup here?"

Ms. Mage likes mushroom soup very much. Glo has already noticed in his usual observations. During the picnic in the birch forest yesterday, the fresh soup made of wild mushrooms, Ms. Mage even finished a large bowl by herself, squinting her eyes He patted his belly in satisfaction.The previous atmosphere, the gazes and words of the bandit companions may have hurt Miss Mage, but in Glo's heart, he hoped that those short-term unhappiness would be washed away quickly with this bowl of mushroom soup.

The mage lady grasped the spoon with her little hand, but did not make the next move. She looked at Glo and blinked——

Glo smiled and greeted his companions to start.Radiya didn't speak, but he read what she wanted to say from her eyes——his kindness and trust received the same response from Miss Mage.

The food was delicious, and the bandits quickly got down to munching.Glo's fingers tore off a pheasant leg powerfully and skillfully, and put it on Radia's dinner plate. His companions saw his courteous behavior, and immediately booed, whistled, and joked incessantly. ——

"Boss, what's the matter with you today?"

"Congratulations, Miss Radia, you have met a gentle and good man!"

"Don't disappoint Glo!"

"Tsk tsk, boss..."

Miss Radia's little face was flushed with shame, and she wished she could bury it in the dinner plate.This ruddy complexion extended from her face to her neck, and Radia even felt her whole body become hot.

Perhaps because of the temperature of the mushroom bisque?
Glo was all smiles, and this time he didn't stop his companions from booing.The otaku longs for spring, just like a farmer longs for rain after a severe drought. In his heart, he is thinking: Should he take this opportunity to confess his love to Miss Radiya?

Nobility?Bandits?Questions of identity don't seem to matter to Glo.In essence, otaku are not from this world, nor do they have so many ideological shackles.If Miss Radia is willing to accept his words, in the eyes of others, it may be a flower planted on cow dung, but he doesn't mind being a pile of fertile cow dung.In this case, Ms. Mage has become a real person of her own, and there will be no more barriers.

After swallowing a piece of white bread, Glo licked his lips with his tongue and was about to speak—

"Sorry to bother you all!"

The two young knights pushed open the door of the box and stood in front of the door and shouted.They were almost fully armed except for their masks, and their white cloaks covered their sides with golden sun patterns embroidered on them.

It's the Holy Faith Church!
Glo's whole body tensed up suddenly, at this moment he immediately thought of all the possibilities brought about by [Jatis].Unlike most of the people in the kingdom, after he and his companions experienced the cruel sixth ETA war, they did not or have lost that kind of belief in the Holy Radiance, and the Holy Radiance Church, for them, also It's just a huge organization.Glo didn't mind a fight if the Church came for [Jatis].

His right hand was already quietly placed on the hilt of the sword under the table.
