Lord of Hyranza

Samya struggled to get up from the wall. Seeing Suldak rushing up, he unfolded a magic scroll instantly, and a fireball shot out from the scroll. Suldak raised his shield to block, and the fireball hit Sur Dak's shield exploded.

"Hurry up, or it will be too late!" Only the blurred voice of the assassin behind remained in the shadows.

Samaya also snorted coldly, and his body melted into the darkness little by little like ink and disappeared. When Suldak chased him to the wall, there was only half a torn magic scroll left on the ground, and the leftovers from the fight on the ground. Even the bloodstains of Samya disappeared.

In the confusion, Ivan Baruch dragged his broken arm around Miss Hoyle's back, strangled Hoyle's neck with a strong arm, and tried to drag Miss Hoyle away in a panic. He ran outside the castle, but the sound of fighting had already attracted the guards in the castle. When these castle guards saw Miss Hoyle being kidnapped, they immediately blew their warning whistle.

In an instant, the castle boiled, and two magicians riding magic handles even flew out from the tower.

A 'twilight lighting technique' lit up from the top of Ivan Baruch's head, illuminating the entire area. At least twenty castle guards surrounded Ivan Baruch, only because Hoyle The young lady was held in Ivan Baruch's arms, and the castle guards were wary and did not dare to act rashly.

Behind the wall above the castle, a group of archers drew their bowstrings one after another. Ivan Baruch looked at the castle guards surrounding him with grief and indignation, with despair in his eyes.

Suldak ignored Ivan Baruch who was in a desperate situation. His saber fell to the ground long ago, and only one hand was left to move. He did not pose any threat to Miss Hoyle.

Miss Hoyle seemed to have calmed down at this time, she did not make any struggle, she was a little breathless by Ivan Baruch, she looked up at Ivan Baruch, at this time He even asked, "Ivan, have you ever loved me?"

"I love you, no no...how could I love you!" Ivan Baruch spoke in a panic, begging the castle guards with a mournful face, "Let me go, they forced me to It's their fault, they want me to get close to you, to get a secret from you, but you never want to talk about the past, I can't ask anything, they just want to sneak in while holding a dance, You robbed... This is not my will, I was forced... let me go!"

The last gleam of hope that had kindled in Miss Hoyle's eyes was extinguished.

She grabbed Ivan Baruch's arm with both hands, bent down suddenly, and threw Ivan over his shoulder, causing Ivan with a broken arm to lie face up on the ground, and the castle guards all around hurriedly He sprang out and stabbed Ivan Baruch to the ground with the spear in his hand.

Chapter 364

Ivan Baruch, who was lying on the ground, looked at Miss Hoyle with a look of despair, like a fish lying on the beach, opening and closing its mouth feebly, but unable to make any sound.

The Marquis Bernard Christie came out from the crowd and looked around the scene coldly. Miss Hoyle walked quickly to Bernard.

The chief guard of the castle guard was beside the Marquis Bernard. He glanced at Miss Hoyle guiltily. He couldn't escape the blame for this kind of assassination in the castle, so he turned his head and looked at Ivan Ba. When he saw Luke, he wished he could cut off his head with a sword.

Dacie Christie squeezed out from the crowd, she ran quickly to Miss Hoyle, whispered to Miss Hoyle, and carefully checked whether Miss Hoyle was injured, although Miss Hoyle was a little embarrassed , without hurting anywhere.

Seeing that Miss Hoyle was not injured, Darcy let out a slight breath.

She turned her head and glanced at Suldak again, only to see that Suldak's arms and calves were almost stained red with blood, and he was sitting on the bench next to him, unfastening the buckle of his leather wristband, without any slight pain. The appearance of a wounded person, with a calm expression as if the injured person is not him at all, and the movement of wrapping the wound is also very skillful. After the dressing is completed, he can tie the bandage with one hand.

The castle guard escorted Ivan Baruch to the Marquis Bernard and made him kneel on the ground.

Marquis Bernard looked at the young nobleman and frowned slightly. Before Bernard could speak, a middle-aged noble couple squeezed out from the crowd. They looked at Ivan with panicked and terrified eyes. The lady She threw herself on Ivan first and cried loudly, and she shouted: "Oh my God! Ivan, my child! What's wrong with you?"

She wanted to push away the castle guards at the side, but the guards in black iron armor were completely unmoved, and the spear did not leave Ivan Baruch's body.

The lady could only get as close as possible to Ivan Baruch, and asked in his ear: "Who is so vicious, who is trying to harm you, tell me quickly."

Baron Baruch, who was standing aside, was also staring at Ivan intently. They wanted to hear his son defend himself.

Ivan Baruch was thrown over the shoulder by Miss Hoyle, his mind was a little blank, and he didn't want to speak at all. He looked at the lady blankly.

Just when Ivan Baruch was hesitating slightly, a guard of the castle said, "We saw that Knight Ivan Baruch was with members of the Black Magic Priory, trying to kidnap Miss Hoyle..."

"...that's impossible!" Mrs. Baruch questioned in a sharp and mournful voice. She stood up from the ground and looked at the surrounding nobles.She knew very well that once the crime of "collaboration with the Black Magic Retreat" was charged to her son, the people who would come forward to interrogate Ivan would be the magicians in the law enforcement group of the Magic Union. Ivan was born in an aristocratic family, so he was lenient.

Mrs. Baruch stared at Miss Hoyle, trying to see something hidden in her eyes. She tried to get close to Miss Hoyle, and said word by word: "How could Ivan kidnap Miss Hoyle, this The most unlikely person in the world to kidnap Miss Hoyle is Ivan!"

She hoped that Miss Hoyle would also come forward and say something fair, but Miss Hoyle kept avoiding her eyes.

It's normal for young people to be noisy, this is what Mrs. Baruch thinks in her heart. He doesn't think his son has any connection with the black magic hermit.

Mrs. Baruch looked at Suldak suspiciously. She thought that Suldak might be the third party sandwiched between her son Ivan Baruch and Miss Hoyle, and then she immediately figured out, The fight just now may have been the scene of the duel between Ivan Baruch and Suldak. It is very likely that Suldak was stabbed in the arm and calf by his son and was beaten helplessly. Then Miss Hoyle It was only then that the castle guards were called, and Ivan Baruch was wounded, so Miss Hoyle avoided her questioning gaze.

This Mrs. Baruch also wanted to ask Miss Hoyle, but she was a bit aggressive.

Seeing that Miss Hoyle was still being questioned at this time, Darcy Christie was even more annoyed, and she pushed Mrs. Baruch away unceremoniously.

The young Ivan did not understand the good intentions of his mother Mrs. Baruch at all. He was pointed at by the castle guards with several spears, and he was so frightened that he wet his pants. Under the escort of the castle guards, his whole body was like a sieve Shaking constantly, seeing the cold-eyed Marquis Bernard, he lost his last bit of courage.

"They believe in the Lord of Demons. They forced me to join them. They wanted me to sign a contract with the demons. If I didn't want them, they forced me..." Ivan Baruch muttered, as if he was repenting. In a few words, Knight Ivan Baruch colluded with the assassins of the Black Magic Priory.

The surrounding nobles were also in an uproar at the moment. No one thought that Ivan Baruch would be so courageous to sneak into Christie Castle with members of the Black Magic Priory.

The nobles had the same idea as Mrs. Baruch. Since Ivan and Miss Hoyle were in a relationship, it meant that Ivan Baruch had no reason to kidnap Miss Hoyle. With a little effort, it is very possible to get everything Miss Hoyle has. Naturally, there is no reason to take the risk of robbing Miss Hoyle at this time.

But what everyone couldn't figure out was that an incredible thing just happened, and it was even brought to light.

"Okay, that's enough! Hurry up and end this farce and take away Knight Ivan Baruch." Marquis Bernard gave instructions to the castle guards, and asked Baruch and his wife to temporarily rest in the castle's guest room. Well, before this matter is clarified, the Baruch and his wife probably won't have the chance to leave Christie's Castle.

Miss Hoyle wiped the cold tears from her face with her sleeve, and under the watchful eyes of many onlookers, she was accompanied by Darcy Christie into the castle.

"Margaret, take Suldak to treat the wound." Marquis Bernard glanced at the blood-stained Suldak, and ordered Mrs. Christie.

At this time, Carl and Llewellyn and his group had the opportunity to approach Suldak and ask him what happened just now. Can you tell me about that indescribable thing?If he didn't say anything, this knight Ivan Baruch was involved again.

Mrs. Christie took Suldak into a guest room to re-examine and bandage the wound. Because Suldak was plagued by the "black curse", he had always maintained a state of "divine blessing", so his physical recovery ability was comparable to Orcs, scabs heal quickly from wounds.

……

In the luxurious Christie Castle guest room, the entire floor is covered with soft velvet carpets, crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and gorgeous wallpapers are posted on the walls around. The big bed in the center of the room can accommodate at least ten people lying side by side. The living room, cloakroom, washroom and servant room, there are special maids waiting in the servant room, basically on call.

Karl also stayed in the room.When there were no outsiders, he and Mrs. Christie sat on a sofa casually, facing Llewellyn and Miss Brenda who had mixed in. They decided that after this incident, the subsequent dance would be more boring .

"I can't figure it out. Why did Ivan Baruch wait to kidnap Hoyle during the ball? What is his reason for doing so?"

Karl sat on the sofa, waiting for Suldak to put on the salamander skin leggings again before asking.

Suldak was thinking about going to the leather shop tomorrow to mend this set of salamander leather armor, but two holes were poked out when he put it on, which made Suldak feel speechless for a while.

"Maybe I know a little bit about this." Mrs. Christie said to everyone in the room.

Everyone turned their attention to Mrs. Christie.

She knocked off Carl's arm around her waist, sat down again, and said:

"I think it's probably because...as long as Hoyle leaves the castle, there are guards around him to protect him all the time. On the contrary, when he is in the castle, it is not convenient for the guards to follow him closely, or they believe that the castle is absolutely safe, so Hoyle El's guards were a bit lax, and it's not easy for the assassins to sneak into the castle, so they sneaked into the castle during the ball, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to create chaos and hijack Hoyle."

Karl agreed with Mrs. Christie's conjecture very much. He said: "I think Ivan Baruch, like Vic, is just a peripheral member of the development of the Black Arts Priory, but what exactly is Ivan in the Black Arts Priory? Identity is no longer a matter of the guard battalion, and the Magic Union law enforcement team will arrive soon."

"Ivan deliberately approached Hoyle just to find out her secrets. Those assassins wanted to hijack Hoyle and also wanted to know her secrets. I really want to know, they tried their best to get close to Hoyle Ill, what do you want to learn from her?" Baron Llewellyn interrupted.

Karl patted his forehead in great distress, and said, "Perhaps only Baron Grenfell knows about this..."

Then he said: "The death penalty notice signed by Bena City has been handed down, and Baron Grenfell will be sent to the guillotine tomorrow, and the closest Construct Knight around him seems to have disappeared inexplicably... ..."

"Dead!" Suldak said in his heart.

……

The dance in Christie's Castle finally came to an abrupt end. After these things happened, the guests lost interest in dancing and left the Marquis of Christie's manor in a carriage. Bird Tax Officer was also standing in the crowd, and he looked up into the castle. From a distance, the resplendent and resplendent castle is still the brightest pearl in Hailansa City at night.

People kept saying hello to him: "Long time no see, Tax Officer Bird!"

Bird tax collector smiled reluctantly, but fortunately, it was night, and no one paid much attention to the expression on his face.

"Hello, Hans!" Bird tax collector said to the strong knight in the crowd, a little absent-minded.

He wanted to re-enter Christie's Castle again, but it was obviously not a good time. Miss Hoyle's teary face made Bird tax collector feel that he should find a way to give her some comfort, but it was a pity that he hadn't waited to see Hoyle El, the Castle Ball is over.

He resolutely refused a widow's invitation to eat cookies in the evening, thinking about preparing an exquisite gift and entrusting it to Miss Hoyle.

As he was thinking, he came to a big tree outside the castle, and untied the reins tied to the big tree. The donkey was shivering in the cold wind, and Bird tax collector re-spread the quilt on the donkey's back. On the road, he stepped on the back of the donkey with his stomach full, staggering and thinking about walking home.

As long as you marry Miss Hoyle, you will own an entire mountain and a half-abandoned manor. If Miss Hoyle doesn't mind, you can also get the title of Viscount. This is almost all the lonely singles in Hailansa City The dream of nobles, even Bird tax collectors are no exception.

……

Karl concluded that the Law Enforcement Team of the Magic Union would intervene and take over the matter, but Suldak did not expect the magicians of the Magic Union to come so soon.

On the third floor of the second-year dormitory building of the Knight Academy, Suerdak was huddled under the quilt and fast asleep.

It was cold in the room in the morning, and Suldak was a little reluctant to crawl out of the warm blanket. The tingling sensation in his arm had disappeared, followed by some itching in the wound, which is a must for every wounded wound to heal. to experience.

The blood hole caused by the 'Black Curse' on his right leg was barely healed. The patio door was suddenly pushed open, and Suldak shivered in fright. The door of the terrace poured into the room, taking away the last bit of warmth in the room. A ray of sunlight shone into the dormitory from the outside. Suldak squinted his eyes and saw a magician riding a magic handle parked on the terrace. superior.

When Lance threw the magic tame on the balcony and walked in, his face was dusty and covered with a layer of frost and snow.

"Why are you here?" Suldak asked Lance while sitting on the bed.

Lance walked into Suldak's dormitory, first poured himself a glass of water and drank it dry, and then said to Suldak: "Samoya is dead, she was targeted by the magicians of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team, In the process of fleeing, he was burned to death by a big fireball."

Suldak looked at Lance a little stunned.

"Last night at Christie's Castle...you were there?" Suldak asked.

"How is that possible!" Lance said with a tired face, and then said with a tired face: "In order to completely wipe out the remnants of the Black Magic Priory this time, all the magicians who went out to perform missions were summoned back overnight. Operations near Hailansa City..."

"..."

Chapter 365 Samya's Substitute

On a winter morning, a gust of cold wind blew up at the entrance of Hailansa Street, and icy snow grits were sandwiched. Occasionally, pedestrians passed by with their hands pinched on the collar of their coats, their heads shrunk and walked quickly. No one would like to be in such a place. In cold weather, if you stay outside for too long, even the leather shoes on your feet will freeze hard.

The cold wind blows on the triangular flags on the roof. Those flags have faded under the wind and rain, and even some flags have holes, but they are still conspicuous enough. The guards with longbows are standing on the watchtower, They were wearing thick leather clothes and two layers of leather boots on their feet. They patrolled the watchtower back and forth. If they didn't walk back and forth occasionally, they might be regarded as stone statues.

The sky was gray, the sun was hidden in the thick clouds, and there were very few pedestrians at the entrance of the High Lansa Opera House. This time of the year is the busiest time for the Opera House, because in the long winter, there are not many activities that people can choose. Not many, listening to the opera is definitely a good choice. Every afternoon, the opera house is full of traffic. This is the most lively social venue in the aristocratic circle of Hailansa City in winter.

It's just that this year is different, the opera house has been closed as early as a month ago.

Since members of the Black Magic Priory appeared in the opera house, not only the law enforcement team of the magic union came to the opera house to investigate every now and then, even the knights of the guard battalion would occasionally come here for a round, and the High Lansa Opera House was closed. During this period of time, many things happened in the city of Hailansa. The owner of the opera house, Dominique, received the news of Samya's death in the morning, and it was a guard battalion knight who came to inform him.

As the owner of the opera house, Dominique has the responsibility to go to the guard camp. He has to collect the dancer's body and handle the subsequent punishment.

"Hey...!" Dominic sighed dejectedly. Who would have thought that such a singing and dancing girl would be a black magician of the Black Magic Priory.

He carefully calculated the time when Samya joined the Opera House. When she first met Samya, she was still a skinny young girl, but her body was very light when she danced, as if she was skimming on the water. It is precisely her outstanding talent that made Dominic select her at a glance from more than 100 candidates.

He tightened his neckline and took two quick steps to board the magic caravan by the roadside of the Opera House.

Following him Dominic is Levi, the manager of the opera house. In the past month, Levi, who originally weighed nearly [-] pounds, has lost a lot of weight. Now he looks like his eye sockets have collapsed, his cheeks and All the flab on his chin had disappeared, leaving only loose skin, making him look like a shed vulture, with big, menacing eyes.

The two are old friends who have known each other for more than [-] years. They are sitting in the magic caravan, and the smell of rouge perfume from a month ago still remains in the car, but now the two of them are not in that mood. On Pi's sofa, he said with emotion: "It has been seven or eight years since Samya joined the opera house! No one in the opera house knows that she can perform magic..."

Levi, who was sitting opposite him, raised his drooping eyelids. He spent almost half of the time in the past month in the interrogation room of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Corps, and spent the rest of the time squatting in the prison of the guard camp. Although there is no evidence that he has a connection with the Black Arts Priory, neither the Law Enforcement Corps nor the Guard Battalion believe that he can disassociate himself from the Black Arts Priory.

If it weren't for Dominique's several congressman friends in High Lansa, I'm afraid he would be held in the prison of the guard camp until spring at least, and he might die there.

Levi bent his body and asked Dominic: "Do you think she joined the Black Magic Priory first, or the Opera House first?"

Dominique, the owner of the opera house, had a sneer on his face, as if he was mocking the incompetence of the Hailansa Guard Battalion, and he seemed to be laughing at himself about his difficult situation. He said:

"Who knows! It's so good...why do you want the bandits to ransack the manor outside the city? Now, one counts as one. As long as you have anything to do with the black magic hermit society, the guard camp will pick up the skin. This time I was taken The Black Arts Priory is in trouble."

Levi knows what kind of pressure Dominic is under. The entire opera house supports almost 200 people. Even if these people are confined at home, the opera house has to pay monthly salaries. Will drag Dominic down.

"Do you need to organize a dance troupe and do a tour in various cities in the Bena province..." Levi suggested to Dominique that performances are prohibited in Hailansa City, so it is better to go to other cities than to sit and eat like this.

Dominique, the owner of the opera house, smiled wryly and said: "I really want to! The magic union law enforcement team issued a notice that all members of the opera house have received a foot restraint order. If they leave the city of Hailansa at this time, they will suffer from the magic union. Wanted by the Law Enforcement Team."

Levi has been detained in the prison of the guard camp these days, so he is not aware of the ban.

Levi frowned and said, "You can't keep doing this forever..."

Dominique rubbed his stiff face vigorously with both hands, and said: "I went to the guard camp first to find out, but I don't think there will be any turning point. This time Samya has made us suffer. It was Miss Hoyle, the bandit group destroyed the Hoyle Manor, but this time they sneaked into Christie Castle and almost snatched Miss Hoyle from the castle. Bernard Christie Your Excellency the Consul will be offended to death."

"Now we can only take one step at a time!"

……

As soon as Suldak walked into the gate of the guard camp, he saw two aristocratic men, one fat and one thin, with a bad complexion coming down from the magic caravan, while Captain Sauron stood at the gate of the main building of the guard camp for the first time, quietly. He looked at the two nobles quietly.

"Sauron." Dominique, the owner of the opera house, stepped out of the carriage, strode up the steps, and hugged Captain Sauron standing on the steps.

The courtyard was full of guard battalion knights, not specifically to welcome the owner of the opera house, but today is the day of Baron Grenfell's execution. Baron Grenfell will be guillotined in the afternoon. If anyone wants to Rescuing Baron Grenfell only had the last half day.

"Dominique..." Captain Sauron squinted his eyes, looking at this man who was once very influential in the aristocratic circle of Hailansa City. Who would have thought that in just one month, the opera house would be defeated like this? Well, the owner of the opera house is almost like "bad luck" this month, and the nobles who are close to him are more or less unlucky.

Captain Sauron had nothing to say, and took Dominic and Levi directly to the cold morgue next to the prison. It was winter, and the morgue was like an icehouse. Covered in a thick layer of frost, a line of corpses lay on the mortuary, each covered with a layer of linen.

Suldak rushed to the guard camp to see Samya's body.

He and Karl walked into the morgue, only to find that Captain Sauron and two noble men were already standing in the morgue. They were surrounded by the morgue on which Samya's body was placed. It was lifted, revealing the petite corpse that was almost scorched by the fireball inside. Although she was wearing a layer of tight leather armor, she was basically carbonized under the fireball, and her whole body was pumped into a ball and curled up together. See It looks like a black monkey.

The two noble men next to Captain Sauron just took a few glances before they couldn't help retching.

Karl also had a bitter face, and he didn't want to take a second look at all, but Suldak was used to seeing dead people on the battlefield, so he didn't feel how disgusting this charred corpse was. He walked into the carbonized corpse, and the corpse was The burn was so severe that it was difficult to tell if it was Samya even if you looked closely. It was certain that the charred corpse was a woman, but Suldak always felt that this matter should not be so simple.

Samya escaped Christie Castle with two assassins last night. She is also good at 'shadow hiding'. Suldak hurried over, wanting to see Samya for the same reason.

"This is Samya's necklace. This is a gift I gave her after her first time. She has always worn this necklace." Dominique pointed to a string of necklaces next to the morgue.

This necklace was found on the corpse when the corpse was collected. The entire chain had been burnt to blackness, but the necklace pendant had not been burned, Dominique said with certainty.

"If there is no doubt, you can take the body back. If no one claims it, the guard camp will deal with it by itself in a week!" Captain Sauron said that the law enforcement team sent such a completely worthless corpse to the guard camp. Quite dissatisfied, so he wanted to dispose of the corpse as soon as possible.

Since the law enforcement team confirmed that this was the body of the absconding dancer Samya, the guard battalion did not check it carefully. If Dominique hadn't personally run over to collect the old body, Captain Sauron would not have come to the morgue in person. .
