Abduct the Necromancer

The black gate stands at the end of the quiet street, and mysterious magic patterns are wrapped around it. When you look up, the heavy color seems to open your mouth to swallow people at any time.

It is said that special spiritual magic is attached to this gate, which will have a mental shock to weak people. Although the Dolanfa family explained this is to use it to hone the sanity of the younger generation in the family, but the outside world always speculates that this The existence of a black door means that only those with comparable strength are eligible to sit on an equal footing with them.

Sherlock doesn't like it here. Every time he stands here, his smallness and humbleness seem to be magnified to the limit.He came only twice, the first time as Mona's friend.At that time, he realized that the Dolanfa family was worthy of being a famous family that has been passed down for thousands of years. The restrictions made him feel very uncomfortable for a person who is used to idleness, and he always avoided coming here afterwards.

The second time was after he left the Holy See not long ago, he came here to pay homage to Mona before exploring the manor. At the same time, he asked Surian Dolanfa, the patriarch of the Dolanfa family and also Mona's father, about the coat of arms of the two snakes. message.

And now it's the third time.

Xie Rui came forward and knocked on the door, perhaps because he had greeted them before. After he showed a badge, the guard immediately invited them in. As soon as they reached the front yard, Su Lian came out to greet them in person.

Su Lian asked people to arrange accommodation for Sherlock and others, while Xie Rui was invited into the study by him.

"Master Dolanfa." Sherry saluted politely. The strange thing was that the voice that was still hoarse before entering the door was so elegant and full of charm at this moment, it was impossible to imagine that the voice came from the same mouth.

Su Lian returned the salute very respectfully, "Just call me Su Lian, His Majesty the Pope."

Xie Rui smiled slightly, "Mr. Su Li'an, it is inconvenient to reveal my identity at this moment, please call me Xie Rui."

"How offensive that is, Mr. Sherry."

After exchanging pleasantries like this, the two sat down together.

Xie Rui said straight to the point: "The manor I mentioned to Mr. Su Lian last time, Sherlock and I went to check it in the past two days. The two monsters were rescued from the manor just now. There is nothing else valuable in the manor , the lair of the Two Serpents should be somewhere else.”

Sulian asked eagerly, "Do you have any clues about where the lair is?"

"No." Xie Rui shook his head, but then said, "However, I personally have a little guess based on the clues I have obtained, but I am not sure. Mr. Su Li'an is familiar with Pei Ze, so maybe he can listen to see if there are any omissions."

"Mr. Sherry, please tell me!"

"The Marquis of Constant Beel Nias, the father of the great magister Hugh Derry──I suspect he is the one behind the coat of arms of the two snakes."

Such astonishing words made a big man like Su Li'an exclaim in surprise, "What?! Him?" But he quickly calmed down, waved his hand, and the door and window of the study were slammed shut.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Is there evidence?"

"There is no direct evidence. However, if all the clues are linked together, it will seem very suspicious." Although it is not a very sure thing, it is particularly convincing just from the Pope.

"First of all, the reason why Mona was murdered this time was that Xiu commissioned Sherlock to investigate the Two Snakes. It's not that no one has investigated them before, but the Two Snakes have never been so eager. They seem to want Xiu to know the truth. .

"I've been wondering if it's because of Xiu's status in the magic world that they should be wary of them, but the reason why Xiu pursued the coat of arms of the two snakes was the Yaozi boy next to him, and with Yaozi's status on the mainland, even if Xiu knew about it The truth doesn't make waves, so it's hard to make sense."

Su Li'an couldn't help but nodded, "That's right. If the people behind the double snake emblem are Xiu's relatives, then everything can be explained."

Xie Rui added: "Yes. In fact, the clues that the silver-masked man found several times earlier pointed to Pei Ze's secular nobles, but the scope was too large, so he didn't think of Constant. But This time the scope was narrowed because of Xiu.

"Moreover, Constant is a very ambitious person. He has hinted to the Archbishop of Pei Ze many times that he hopes to get the support of the Holy See. This may mean that he has the idea of ​​​​controlling the empire. In this way, he established the double snake coat of arms. There is also a motive for him. Another point is that the time when the coat of arms of the two snakes appeared is about the same as when he first appeared in the Nias family. That's why I doubt him."

Su Lian pondered, obviously thinking about the possibility of this matter.

Xie Rui said: "I have already asked the silver-masked man to follow Constant. The manor has been invaded, and the people behind the Two Serpents should get the news soon. If Constant is really that person, then his side There must be movement!"

When Sherlock walked into the study, Xie Rui and Su Lian were drinking tea leisurely, talking about the romance that had nothing to do with the double snake coat of arms.

The relaxed atmosphere made Sherlock feel a little alienated, and the two seemed to be hiding something from him. However, neither the Dolanfar family nor the silver-faced man had any relationship with him, and the other party had no obligation to tell the secret to him. , This cognition made him feel annoyed and could only hold it in his heart, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing him, Xie Rui hurriedly beckoned him to sit beside him.

Sherlock walked over dully, and before he could sit down, a hurried female voice came from outside the door, "Father! Is there any news about the double snake emblem?"

A woman walked in quickly, wearing a purple robe and holding a small staff in her hand, she knew she was a magician at a glance.As the woman got closer, Sherlock took advantage of the opportunity to size up her appearance. This woman was only 26 or [-] years old, with exquisite features and a beautiful appearance. She also wore a badge of a senior magician on her chest—another magical genius!

The woman suddenly looked sideways, and her beautiful eyes were bloodshot, so red that they seemed to bleed!Sherlock was taken aback, and the woman was also taken aback, and then she didn't know what to think of, and her eyes were fixed on Sherlock.

Shocked by such crazy eyes, Sherlock stared blankly at each other.

The joints of the woman's hand holding the staff turned white, as if she had exhausted all her strength to suppress something, and even her body trembled slightly. Suddenly, her palms tightened, the veins on her skin were exposed, and a strong magical wave suddenly swayed from her body. , the sharp mental power opened like a thorn, piercing into Sherlock's mind!

Sherlock felt a prickling pain in his head, and when his eyes went dark, he didn't know anything.

"stop!"

A low shout pulled his sanity back suddenly, the man's hoarse voice seemed to be still echoing in his ears, Sherlock froze in place, his feet suddenly lost strength and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, an arm circled up from behind, firmly supported his body, and pressed him into a generous embrace.

A hoarse male voice sounded over Sherlock's head, scolding coldly, "What are you doing! Do you want to kill him?"
