Lord of Hyranza

Little Peter was already fast asleep on the bed. He walked to the bedside and stuffed a silver dagger under the pillow, kissed him on the forehead, and then hurried out of the house.

……

A group of young nobles stood in the empty showroom. Under the guidance of the 'twilight lighting technique', they walked around the empty wooden shelves and booths.

Several noble ladies were guarded in the middle of the team, wandering around the deserted manor at night. This novel experience made them feel extra exciting, even more interesting than the experience held in the academy.

Soon the group of young people discovered the relief on the wall, and everyone stood in front of the false door, looking at the relief mural curiously.

A group of young people were discussing why there was such a door in the showroom of the Bradbury family, and they were looking for a way to open the door, and then a secret passage appeared.

Just when everyone was making infinite associations about this, Jimmy suddenly felt the mana fluctuating on the stone wall.

As a magician, he is extremely sensitive to this kind of mana fluctuation, especially in such a state of high mental tension. The trace of mana flowing through the relief on the wall suddenly made Jimmy very alert.

He carefully observed whether there was a magic circle hidden in the relief of the stone door, and walked two steps closer involuntarily.

As the light ball of the 'twilight lighting technique' approached the relief of the stone gate, Jimmy found something different on the stone gate. There was actually a magic crystal inlaid on the gemstone base in the center of the stone gate. A magic crystal was hidden in the shadow under the light, so no one could find that there was a magic crystal hidden in the shadow.

"Look, what is this?" Jimmy stared at the magic crystal and called out to his companions.

Under the light ball, his forehead was covered with a layer of dense sweat.

The young nobles gathered together at once, and they followed Jimmy's finger, and finally found a magic crystal in the shadow of Shimen.

The sword and shield warrior named Luke stood at the front with a shield, staring at the magic crystal, and the light ball floating in the air fell down little by little, so that the magic crystal was clearly exposed in front of everyone. Someone said:

"I heard that the rebels snatched a piece of magic crystal from Bradbury Manor. Do you think it is this piece?"

Others said one after another: "How is this possible!"

Jimmy didn't feel the mana fluctuations anymore, and reached out to touch the magic crystal that was perfectly embedded in it, looking for the wedge of the magic crystal.

When this kind of embedded magic crystal is installed, disassembly will be considered. Generally, there will be a wedge, and the magic crystal can be pried out with a sharp dagger.

Jimmy quickly found the wedge, and he reached for the dagger at his waist.

"I heard that the lost magic crystal is in the shape of a key." Judith, a long-legged beauty, stood in the crowd and said to her best friend Cora.

"It must be a fake," said Cora, with her pointed chin and big eyes.

However, as Jimmy used a dagger to pry out the magic crystal in the relief groove of the stone gate, another noble lady, Agatha, held her breath and said with a trembling voice:

"Maybe it's true, you see..."

As Jimmy's dagger was pried, the exposed magic crystal was clearly in the shape of a handful.

At this time, everyone's attention was on the magic crystal, but as Jimmy suddenly felt the resistance of the dagger lighten, the front end of the magic crystal came out of the groove, and Jimmy caught it subconsciously. , the other part of the magic crystal is still embedded in the groove.

Jimmy just felt his heart tremble with the magic crystal.

"Ah, it's cracked!" exclaimed a group of young nobles behind them.

Jimmy took a deep breath, pried out the remaining piece of magic crystal from the groove in one go, put the two pieces of magic crystal in the palm of his hand, and sure enough they fit together into a whole.

At this time, everyone stopped talking, and everyone stared at the magic crystal in Jimmy's hand.

Sword and Shield Warrior Luke is one of the organizers of the 'Warriors and Roses' adventure group. At this time, he quickly stood up and said: "To be honest, this is definitely a major discovery. We can find some professional knowledge to identify it and see Is it the rumored crystal key, no matter what, we didn't come in vain this time."

Jimmy held the magic crystal and said to everyone: "Maybe a jeweler can repair it. It just so happens that I know a friend who is a very famous jeweler. I can ask him for help."

However, other young nobles seem to have a different opinion, and someone immediately said:

"We must not tell this secret. If this is really the crystal key, then there must be the biggest secret hidden in it. We can find clues together, and maybe we can find the treasure of the dragon..."

Hearing someone say this, everyone's breathing became a little heavier. It seems that there is not only one person who thinks this way.

……

At first, the person hiding in the display cabinet thought it was a trick played by these young nobles, but when he heard about it later, he felt more and more wrong.

He has been visiting this showroom a lot recently, and has never found anything.

The relief of the stone gate has also been carefully inspected more than ten times, and even the details of each carving are remembered in his heart. He has never seen the magic crystal embedded in the relief of the stone gate, and these young nobles So true!

"No, they're telling the truth."

The man's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to push open the wooden door of the closet and rush out to grab the crystal key.

He held a magic scroll in his hand, and quickly drew the magic symbols with the other hand, chanting the spell in a low voice, and a fireball that burst and tumbling and burning appeared in front of him, followed by him in a low voice: "go……"

A fireball exploded from the closet, and the tumbling flames wrapped around the broken wooden door and rushed towards a group of noble young men.

The incident happened suddenly, and almost everyone focused on the magic crystal, and no one noticed the surrounding situation at all.

The fire bomb exploded in the crowd, and the flames immediately enveloped everyone.

A figure wearing a magic robe rushed out of the closet, and he rushed to Jimmy at the moment the fireball exploded.

Jimmy was hit by the huge force of the blasted fireball against the stone wall, his whole body was in pain, and he was dizzy. He felt a figure rushing over, opened his fingers, and grabbed the piece. The magic crystal that shattered in two quickly rushed out of the showroom.

"Someone snatched the magic crystal..." Jimmy shouted at the top of his lungs.

Several young nobles who were not too affected by the fireball heard the sound and immediately chased after the figure.

Jimmy also gritted his teeth and got up from the ground despite the pain all over his body. He saw the long-legged beauty Judith protecting the two girlfriends beside him. But they were not injured. The faces of the three noble ladies were all blackened by the fire bombs.

The two female archers reacted quickly, successfully avoiding the impact of the fire bomb the moment the fire bomb exploded.

At this time, he had already got up from the ground, and followed the two rangers towards the outside of the showroom.

Jimmy gritted his teeth, and instead of chasing after him immediately, he walked towards the sword and shield warrior Luke, who was more seriously injured. Just now, the sword and shield warrior Luke reacted the fastest, and he, he took out a After unfolding the magic scroll in his hand, there was another short incantation, and a white light full of water vapor fell on Luke.

This is a 'hydrotherapy' magic scroll, and the magic glow fell on Luke's body, immediately stabilizing Luke's injury.

"Leave us alone, go after the robber who snatched the crystal key..." Luke said eagerly to Jimmy, propping up his body with one hand.

Jimmy nodded quickly, got up and followed everyone to chase the figure.

……

Chapter 546 Night Party

The "Warriors and Roses" adventure group composed of thirteen young nobles became famous overnight, and the whole city of Bena was talking about what happened last night.

A large number of guard battalion knights once again gathered in the old aristocratic area to launch a carpet search, trying to find some clues.

According to the analysis of the magicians of the Law Enforcement Team of the Magic Union, the magician who snatched the crystal key last night should be a member of the Dark Moon Gate, so this time the Magic Union of Bena City also dispatched a large number of magicians to investigate this matter.

The young magician Jimmy was sitting in the investigation room of the Bena City Guard Camp. He was holding a cup of tea in his hand. The tea leaves were slowly swirling in the cup. Jimmy raised his head impatiently and glanced at the knight in front of him.

Beside him were the sword and shield warrior Luke and several other male members of the adventure group.

As for those aristocratic ladies who have already returned to Bena Swordsman Academy, the guard camp is not the place they should come to. It will affect their reputation. Considering their aristocratic status, the investigation of them will not be in the The guard battalion is here.

Opposite him sat two great knights of the guard battalion, one of whom was Captain Klaus of the third brigade of the Bena City Guard Battalion, and the other beside him was Captain Klaus' assistant Garland Knight. Beside him were the magicians from the law enforcement team of the Magic Union, and they carefully recorded what Jimmy said...

Jimmy has already told what happened last night five times, he moved his butt on the chair impatiently, and then glanced at the two magicians next to him.

It's just that the two magicians from the Bena Magic Union are not familiar with Jimmy. They participated in the investigation of the guard camp as observers and did not have the right to interrogate.

"When I noticed the magic crystal, it was because of the fluctuation of mana on that wall. As a magician, I could sense the fluctuation of magic elements in the surrounding environment. At that time, everyone was still looking for clues in the showroom. ..." Jimmy said.

After tossing and tossing all night, his head was a little groggy, and he really wanted to go home, take a comfortable hot bath, lie on the big soft bed and have a good sleep.

He murmured in his heart: This group of useless guard battalion knights did not go to arrest the magician, but instead repeatedly questioned himself, as if they were interrogating a prisoner. This feeling is really bad.

Jimmy said: "I understand the specific steps of setting magic gems, and I know that as long as I find a specific point in the groove of the gem, I can pry the magic crystal out of the groove, but I didn't realize it at the time. When the dagger was inserted, The magic crystal actually split in two."

Grand Knight Klaus stared at the young nobleman with dark circles with sharp eyes. He was not interested in this kind of noble dude. Although there were two magicians sitting beside him, he still asked unceremoniously: "Are you Said that the crystal key was broken when it was in your hand?"

If it wasn't for sitting in the investigation room of the guard camp in Bena City, Jimmy would have stood up and pointed at the bridge of the nose of the big knight in front of him, and yelled at him.

But it was impossible for him to do so right now. After all, it was on someone else's territory. He could only reply patiently: "If that piece of magic crystal is really a crystal key, I'm sure it was split in two."

"At that time... no one thought that the magic crystal might be the crystal key. Oh, we also guessed this possibility at the time, but everyone didn't think too much about it." Jimmy kept telling himself to be patient. , Such a big thing happened, as long as I say a word wrong, it is very likely that this matter will be very unfavorable to me.

The behavior of this group of hateful guard battalion knights is like interrogating prisoners. They don't regard them as heroes who have found clues at all. It didn't work either.

"...Caught off guard, a fireball exploded in our crowd. By the time I realized it, the magic crystal had already been snatched away!"

Jimmy continued impatiently.

His voice became hoarse, and he took a sip of tea...

In fact, this matter was already spread last night.

And it immediately caused an uproar in Bena City. The crystal key that had been looking for for many days was hidden in the showroom of Bradbury Manor. The most likely reason is that the group of rebels who looted the manor did not take it away A crystal key, the knights of the guard battalion and the magicians of the law enforcement group didn't know anything about it.

It can be seen from this that how perfunctory their investigations have been for many days is simply the biggest joke of this year:

The lost property has always been in the same place. The knights of the guard battalion and the magicians of the law enforcement group in the entire city of Bena were dispatched, and they even searched for the whereabouts of the crystal key in the entire province of Bena. '

"Perhaps that crystal key is a bit home-loving, and ran back from the outside with long legs..."

Either explanation can be the stuff of the most bizarre conversations.

Under considerable pressure, the guard camp brought these young nobles with various family backgrounds to the guard camp for detailed investigation.

It is precisely because of this that no matter how much the great knight Klaus repeatedly questioned Jimmy, the two magicians next to him remained silent, and they were also simmering with anger:

This thing is so fucking useless!

……

When Suldak returned to Bradbury Manor last night, the manor was already a mess.

I didn't expect this incident to cause such a big commotion.

He took advantage of the chaos and walked out from the corner of the closet in the showroom. There was no one in the showroom.

When he came out of the mansion, he found that the outside of the manor was full of knights from the Bena Guard Battalion.

He unhurriedly put on a guard battalion-style cloak for himself, and wore a guard battalion knight badge on his chest. He walked naturally and casually, and even nodded smilingly at the guard battalion knight coming from the opposite side. Then he left Bradbury Manor all the way unimpeded, and no one stepped forward to question him the whole time.

He returned to the hotel, drew the curtains, and slept until the light came on.

In just one day, news spread that the Crystal Key had mysteriously appeared at Bradbury Manor.

He didn't expect this incident to become such a big deal. He only hoped that this incident would spread in a small area, and he only hoped that it could divert the attention of the group of magicians from the Dark Moon Gate, and stop staring at Wall Village all the time. , but now... it seems that I really can't explain it clearly.

The magicians of Dark Moon Gate knew that Magician Golden had obtained this crystal key, and now this crystal key appeared in Bena City again, and the news spread quickly.

Although the magicians of the Dark Moon Gate will not spread this matter around, and even if they tell it, not many people will believe it, they will definitely continue to investigate this matter.

Magician Golden died in Wall Village, and it seems that his side really can't stand any investigation.

Suldak scratched his head in pain, thinking seriously about how to shut up those magicians at the Dark Moon Gate. Hand over the crystal.

'tuk tuk tuk'

There was a knock on the door, and Surdak jumped out of bed vigilantly. He quickly walked to the table, grabbed the blood red crescent, and walked to the door.

Opening the door, the hotel waiter stood outside the door with a smile on his face.

"Baron Suldak, here is your reply!"

The waiter looked at Surdak expectantly, with a smile on his face.

Only then did Suldak realize that the waiter was ready to accept his tip.

It's just that I was a little nervous just now, and I didn't prepare the tip in advance. Not only that, but I was holding a saber in my hand. No wonder the waiter's smile only lasted for 2 seconds, and then became a little stiff. Surdak returned to the room , took out a few copper coins from the purse hanging on the hanger in the bedroom and stuffed them into the hands of the waiter.

"Thank you for your generosity..."

When the waiter said this, his smile looked exaggerated.

Suldak ignored it and closed the door. He cut open the envelope with a peeling knife, pulled out the letter paper inside and unfolded it, and found that it was a reply letter written by Marquis Luther himself.

Marquis Luther did not expect that Suldak would arrive in the city of Bena so soon. He bluntly said that he admired Suldak, a young nobleman who was very efficient in his work.

He plans to invite Surdak to have dinner at home this Saturday, and it is said that there will be a small dance after the dinner.

Suldak didn't have much resistance to Marquis Luther's solicitation. After all, it was Marquis Luther's recommendation that he could become a noble baron.

……

After waiting until night, there was no news from Hathaway and Beatrice. Suldak thought that maybe they were being watched too closely by the family, and the letter he wrote probably failed to reach them. In the hands of others, or they saw the letter, but they just haven't had time to reply.

Suldak was going to eat something casually in the restaurant downstairs, and then went back to the room to continue meditating to see how to light up the dark stars in his body.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard another hasty knock on the door, and Suldak opened the door casually.

Two noble ladies wearing lake-blue conical hats with flowers on their heads, black veils on their faces, and court dresses with dark flowers stood at the door. Behind them was a hotel waiter. They saw Surdak With a soft cry, he rushed forward quickly, and lifted the veil on his head, revealing the beautiful and moving face inside.

Hathaway gave Suldak a big hug, followed by Beatrice in the same dress. Suldak took out a silver coin from his arms, threw it to the hotel attendant, and closed the door.
