At night, heavy rain poured down, and the rain kept washing the ancient city walls. Lightning and thundering above the royal city. Lightning and the barrier holy light complement each other, forming a strange scene of the floating city. But at this time Byron was not in the mood to enjoy these scenery, because the recent murders in the city and the assassination incident in the back garden made him worried.

"Mr. Byron, I have something to tell you." Suddenly, Pastor Kevin rushed to the residence where Byron was resting in the palace in heavy rain.

"It's Kevin. You're so old. The rain is so heavy tonight. If it's not for an emergency, you can just send a guard to a little message. Why do you have to come here in person?" Byron said after seeing Kevin.

"Mr. Byron, you asked me to interrogate the prisoner who assassinated the king. After a day of interrogation, I found that he was indeed under some mental control. This guy will only repeat this sentence in his mouth. But I have no effect on him using the Holy Light Technique." Kevin sighed.

"It seems like Palsa said, it is a dark magic that controls people's spirits." Byron said.

"But there is one thing I can be sure of." Kevin nodded, "From the perspective of my failure in Holy Light, the person who uses dark magic to this prisoner has absolutely the most magical attainments above me."

"Kevin, there are not many people who are better than you in terms of magic," said Byron. "In our Five Dragon Knights, it may be difficult to find a third person except Lord Palsa and Lord Ruona."

"As for the other magician Fanny, it is impossible for me to do such a thing based on my understanding of her. Although sometimes even I am a little afraid of her, I don't believe she will fall to this level." Byron analyzed.

"Vanni is only interested in how she can keep her young magic. She must be too lazy to study that evil dark magic. Of course, I have to say that she is 200 now, but she looks as young as Lana, which is really not easy." Kevin said, "As for Lord Palsa..."

"Palsa is now being placed in a cabin on the island of the lake because of this." Byron said, "He has been trying to prove his innocence and tell us that there may be people from the Dark Clan."

"The Dark Clan?" Kevin thought for a while and said, "This is all legend from more than 500 years ago."

"The legendary battle of the Holy Demons took a thousand years and was very tragic. I went to the Royal Library in the afternoon and found some records related to the battle of the Holy Demons. In this war, our ancestors paid a heavy price to achieve the final victory." Byron said, "If the people of the Dark Clan reappear in this world, then humans will face another catastrophe."

"But why did the people of the Dark Clan appear again in this era?" Kevin showed a puzzled expression on his face. "When I was a child, I often heard some elders in the family telling many stories about the Holy Demon War. Legend has it that more than 500 years ago, the Dark Clan was finally completely destroyed by the Guanghui Clan. And our Lance Kingdom was established by descendants with the bloodline of the Guanghui Clan. If nothing unexpected happens, our King should be the descendant of the Guanghui Clan."

"I hope things won't go as we thought," Byron said. "Today I got the news again that in the evening, another child was killed in a forest in the royal city. But Lord Palsa has been placed by us on the island in the middle of the lake, proving that the murderer is someone else and wants to frame Lord Palsa. We have begun to investigate the shift changes of the Black Dragon Knights magicians who maintained the barrier that day, but..."

"But judging from the shift change records of the Black Dragon Knights, the magicians who left the palace are not suspected for the time being?" Kevin's expression also became serious. "It seems that we don't know what kind of enemies we are going to face, and what terrible secrets are hidden in their hands."

"If you want to know more secrets about the Dark Clan, I suggest you go to the Royal Library again, and I believe you will definitely gain something." Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the door, interrupting the conversation between them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I just happened to have something to come to you, Lord Byron." A female elf with long blue hair and a green mage robe walked up to Byron.

"We just talked about you, but I didn't expect you to appear in front of us so soon." Kevin returned to his smile.

"I guess you are talking bad about me again? What a 200-year-old old woman... "It turns out that this person is Fanny that Byron just mentioned.

"We are praising you for your ability to keep your face alive, Fanny." Kevin responded immediately.

"Isn't it just that I'm very old?" Fanni glared at Kevin. Although Fanni is a female elf over 200 years old, her appearance is no different from a young female elf. It is said that when she was in her twenties, she mastered a magical magic that could make her heartbeat in a year equal to that of an ordinary person's heartbeat in a day. In this way, more than two hundred days have passed for her in more than two hundred days. Moreover, because of her young and beautiful appearance and her sharp personality, Fanni has become one of the few women who can make Byron feel scared.

"Well... I said Fanni! You came to us, and you wouldn't just come to investigate what bad things we said about you?" Byron coughed lightly, "You'd better explain your purpose quickly."

"Mr. Byron, I have heard about some things that happened in the royal city recently, including the mysterious murder of many children and the news that the king was assassinated." Fanny said, "These things are all related to dark magic."

"That's what Palsa said to me, too." Byron nodded.

"So I went to the Royal Library," said Fanny.

"You have always been a person who doesn't like to show up in the Golden Dragon Knights. Many members of the Knights almost don't know your existence. Today you actually came to the door with your own initiative. I guess you made some major discoveries after you went to the Royal Library." Kevin looked at her.

"That's right, because I heard from my father a little known secret from the entire Kingdom of Lance, more than a hundred years ago." Vanne said.

"Tell me, look at Fanny." Byron suddenly became interested.

"In the Royal Library of our kingdom, there is a "Holy Magic Code" about the Thousand Years of War of the Holy Magic. We don't know who the author is, but it is said that in this "Holy Magic Code", there are many unknown history of the Thousand Years of War of the Holy Magic. There are also descriptions of various mysterious treasures and fantasy magic. I believe there will be many records of dark magic." Fanni said, "This "Doly Magic" has always been sealed in a secret room of the Royal Library, and it has magic circles as protection. But today, I came to that secret room according to the route described by my father back then. But I found that the secret room was already empty."

"That is to say that the book has been taken away by others?" Byron became nervous.

"If this book falls into the hands of some people with ulterior motives, it will be very terrible." Fanny's face was solemn, "What I worry most is that everything that is happening now is related to this book."

"Then we can narrow the scope of our goal a lot." Byron thought for a while, "there are usually only members of the royal family, the superior nobles, and some caregivers of the library."

"Come, pass on my orders and immediately investigate all the records of entry and exit of the Royal Library in the past six months, and search all those who have entered the Royal Library." Byron summoned the soldiers of the Byron Guards to come over and issued an order.

"It's okay for the library management and maintenance staff to say, but it's quite difficult to investigate the royal family?" Kevin asked. "And if the secret of the Holy Magic Code is fully published, I think it will inevitably cause everyone's panic."

"I will ask His Majesty the King to issue a licence order. We cannot wait for the situation to spread." Byron was very determined, "Vannie, your information today is very timely. Thank you so much."

"Sir Byron, what do you mean?" Vanny blinked at Byron, "How about treating me to dinner tomorrow night? To maintain my figure, I haven't eaten that fragrant barbecue for a long time."

"Barbecue..." Byron thought of something and couldn't help but sweat arose on his head.
