Lord Highlander

  Chapter 202 201. Parting

The clouds in the sky were dyed a layer of gold by the setting sun, blending with the wheat fields in the distance, and the city of Evelson was also dyed a layer of light gold, which looked extraordinarily charming. Suldak was lying on a high On the haystack, squinting to enjoy the evening breeze and setting sun.

  Suldak's maroon ancient Bolai horse followed slowly, looking relaxed and comfortable.

  The carriage pulling the alfalfa hay slowly drove towards the airport terminal, and the airport terminal in the distance also appeared in the field of vision.

  Antonio didn’t need to come to the airport terminal. He was sitting in the hay cart to see Suldak off.

Suldak touched the magic storage belt around his waist. This magic belt was bought in the leather goods store of the magic leather merchant Kit in the afternoon. People in the Green Empire like to call it a magic pocket. The waist bag cost Suldak seven magic crystals.

When buying the magic belt, Antonio was going to sponsor part of the magic crystals for Suldak, but when he saw Suldak take out seven magic crystals without changing his face, Antonio swallowed those words again, but Antonio didn’t Thinking that a knight would be so rich.

   Then Antonio found such a carriage filled with alfalfa in the city through his connections, and the two left Everson City before the city gate was closed.

   Suldak, who was lying on the haystack, finally let out a long breath. It seems that no one in the Busman family has discovered the real cause of Count Joan Busman's death. But at the same time, he also had a little doubt in his heart, so he asked Antonio: "You openly assassinated Count Josie on the way back then, but why did you suddenly change your attention to the assassination later, trying to make Count Josie die naturally? Illusion?"

  Antonio turned his head and glanced at Suldak. Seeing that he was quite curious, he felt that it didn't matter even if he said it, so he explained:

   "I was going to pretend to be an evil mage of the Black Magic Priory, and carry out an assassination operation on..."

   "It's a pity that it didn't succeed at the time. Later, I really didn't want to continue to intensify the conflict between the traditional aristocratic forces and the magician aristocrats, so I wanted to find a more secure solution."

   "The original plan was to secretly sneak into his bedroom, then use the 'wind bondage' to bind his hands and feet, and then suffocate him to death with a pillow,"

  The young magician spoke fluently and naturally, without any drastic fluctuations in mood because of talking about murder.

  The two of them didn't speak loudly, and they weren't worried that they would be heard by the farmers driving ahead.

  Suldak asked again: "Then you know the guards in the castle very well. Is it the master magician in the castle who is helping you?"

  Antonio narrowed his eyes and smiled mysteriously, and said ambiguously: "Hey, you know, there are some things I can't admit."

   The two of them were lying on the top of the haystack in the carriage, walking and talking all the way.

"...It is a very ancient evil black magic ritual. It is rumored that after sacrificing a living person to the evil god, the sacrificer will swallow the heart, liver and head, and will gain a stronger soul, and swallow the limbs to have a young and powerful body , Earl Josie is cowardly, hypocritical and cowardly by nature, he wants to become stronger, but he doesn't have the perseverance, and in the end he is only willing to use evil rituals."

"For nearly a hundred years, the Black Magic Priory has been conducting this series of magic research. The law enforcement team of our magic union has been tracking down the members of the Priory all year round. Hidden organization, but it has developed to the present, countless magicians who are interested in black magic, and some evil mages who study sorcery have gradually been absorbed into this organization. They are the cancer of the magic world. Our law enforcement team is bound to They are all cleared from Roland Continent."

   Later, we talked about the Black Magic Priory. Antonio, a member of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team, has very clear plans.

From Antonio's mouth, I learned that the Magic Union is a mage organization in Roland Continent, and the Law Enforcement Corps is a sharp sword in the hands of the Magic Union. The responsibilities of the organization are a bit like the guard camp knights in various cities, but they only deal with magic. According to the incident, the mages who can enter the law enforcement group of the magic union are all the best in the various magic schools.

Suldak expressed his worries to Antonio. He didn't know if this sacrificial ceremony was considered black magic. He worried that if he used it in other places in the future, he would be discovered by the law enforcement team of the Magic Union and be sent to the stake as a heretic. frame, that's the worst.

  In any case, the two had some friendship, and Suldak felt that Antonio was not the kind of person who would tear down the bridge after crossing the river.

  Antonio lay on the haystack, changed to a more comfortable position, and said to Surdak:

"Don't worry about this for the time being. Life magic does not actually belong to the category of taboo magic. It's just that this form of magic belongs to marginal magic. It's just not accepted by mainstream magic in the Grimm Empire, but you are an awakened magician." A knight of perception has the rarest sacred attribute, I hope you can become a paladin by mastering the power of holy light in the future, instead of becoming a dark knight by mastering these life magics."

  Suldak was dumbfounded by Antonio's words. It turned out that the sacred breath he had mastered could also become the power of the holy light. The paladin himself knew something about it, but the word "dark knight" had never been mentioned before.

  However, Antonio didn't talk much about these, he just said to Suldak:

"Actually, I don't think magic is good or bad. It's about whether you have a compassionate heart or a vicious heart. There are many examples of this, even some magicians in the temple. Priests with holy prayers may also become criminals with blood on their hands, and such people are often more terrifying, so I think good and evil depend on whether you can not forget your original intention."

"Our law enforcement team picketed the Black Magic Retreat because when those evil mages researched black magic, they might cause some local population to disappear mysteriously. Allowed."

"As a member of the Law Enforcement Corps, I don't deny that we all have some kind of paranoia about magic. This time, my boss clearly ordered me not to interfere in the incident of the missing seven knights. I ran back secretly, so I can't let Count Josie die from magic. , don’t even want him to die from some sort of assassination, preferably a normal death…”

   "Knight Suldak, this operation can go so smoothly, I want to express my sincere thanks to you!"

The carriage pulling a cart of pastures stopped in front of the gate of the magic airport, and there was an endless stream of carriages entering and leaving the airport. Suldak jumped off the tall haystack and untied the carriage from the rear shaft of the carriage. He took the reins and led his Gu Bolai horse, and walked slowly into the airport terminal with the flow of people.

   After entering the airport pier, Suldak turned around and waved to Antonio standing on the haystack, only to find that the magician Antonio was already sitting on the haystack and gradually drifting away...
