At night, heavy rain poured down, and the rain kept washing the ancient city walls. There was lightning and thunder in the sky above the royal city. The lightning and the holy light set off each other, forming a strange scene in the floating city. But Byron was not in the mood to appreciate these at this time.
Scenery, because of the recent murders in the city and the assassination in the back garden, he has been worried.
"Lord Byron, I have news to tell you." Suddenly, Pastor Kevin rushed to the palace where Byron was resting in the heavy rain.
"It's Kevin, you're quite old, and it's raining so hard tonight. If it's not an emergency, you can just send a guard to give a message. Why come here in person?" Byron saw.
Kevin said later.
"Lord 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 kind of mental control. This guy can only repeat this sentence repeatedly. But I am
He used Holy Light but it had no effect." Kevin sighed.
"It looks like what Parsa said, this is a kind of dark magic that controls people's minds." Byron said.
"But one thing I can be sure of." Kevin nodded. "From the perspective of my failure in Holy Light, the person who used dark magic on this prisoner has definitely higher magical attainments than me."
"Kevin, in the entire Lance Kingdom, there are not many people who are better than you in terms of magic." Byron said, "In our Five Dragon Knights, except for Master Parsa and Master Ruona, it may be difficult to find
The third person is here."
"As for the other magician Fanny, based on my understanding of her, it is impossible for her to do such a thing. Although sometimes I am a little afraid of her, but I don't believe she will degenerate to this level." Byron
Analyze.
"Fanny is only interested in how to stay young with magic. She must be too lazy to study that kind of evil dark magic. Of course, I have to say that she is 200 years old now, but she looks as young as Lana.
It is indeed not simple." Kevin said, "As for Mr. Parsa..."
"Mr. Parsa is now placed in a cabin on the island in the middle of the lake because of this matter." Byron said, "He has been trying to prove his innocence and told us that there may be people from the dark clan."
"The Dark Clan?" Kevin thought for a moment and said, "These are legends from more than five hundred years ago."
"The legendary war between the Holy Demon and the Holy Demon lasted for thousands of years and was very tragic. I went to the Royal Library in the afternoon and looked up some records related to the Holy Demon War. Our ancestors paid a heavy price in this war.
Only then did we achieve the final victory." Byron said, "If the people of the dark clan reappear in this world, then mankind will face another catastrophe."
"But why do people from the dark clan reappear in this era?" Kevin had a puzzled look on his face, "When I was a child, I often heard some elders in the family tell many stories about the war between saints and demons. There are more than 500 legends.
Years ago, the Dark Clan was finally completely wiped out by the Glorious Clan. And our Kingdom of Lance was founded by the descendants of the Glorious Clan. If nothing else, our King should be a descendant of the Glorious Clan."
"I hope things will not develop as we just thought." Byron said, "Today I got news again that in the evening, another child was killed in a forest in the royal city. But Lord Parsa
We have placed it on the island in the middle of the lake, which proves that the murderer is someone else, and he wants to frame Mr. Parsa. We have already begun to investigate the shift situation of the Black Dragon Knights magicians who maintained the barrier that day, but...
"
"But judging from the shift records of the Black Dragon Knights, the magicians who left the palace are not suspected for the time being?" Kevin's face also became serious, "It seems that we have no idea what kind of enemy we are going to face.
What other 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 and take a look. I believe you will gain something." Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the door, interrupting the conversation between them.
conversation.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to come to see you for something, Lord Byron." A female elf with long blue hair and a green mage robe walked up to Byron.
"We just talked about you, but we didn't expect you to appear in front of us so soon." Kevin resumed his smile.
"I guess you are talking bad about me again? Some two-hundred-year-old old woman or something..." It turns out that this person is the Fanny that Byron was talking about just now.
"We were complimenting you on your beauty skills, Fanny." Kevin responded immediately.
"Don't you mean to say that I am already very old?" Fanny glared at Kevin. Although Fanny is a female elf who is over two hundred years old, her appearance is no different from that of a young female elf. It is said that she was in her twenties.
When she was many years old, she mastered a magical magic that allowed her heartbeat rate in one year to be the same as that of an average person in one day. In this way, more than two hundred years of time were equivalent to
Only more than two hundred days passed. And because she was young, beautiful, and had a very fierce personality, Fanny became one of the few women who could make Byron feel scared.
"Ahem... I mean Fanny! You came to us, didn't you just come to find out what bad things we said about you?" Byron coughed lightly, "You'd better explain your purpose quickly."
"Lord Byron, I have heard about some things that have 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."
"Parsa told me the same thing." Byron nodded.
"So I went to the Royal Library." Fanny said.
"You have always been a person who doesn't like to show off in the Golden Dragon Knights. Many members of the Knights hardly know you exist. Today you actually came to the door. It must be because you went to the Royal Library and there is something important.
Found it." Kevin glanced at her.
"That's right, because more than a hundred years ago, I heard from my father a secret that was rarely known in the entire Kingdom of Lance." Fanny said.
"Tell me about Fanny." Byron suddenly became interested.
"In the royal library of our kingdom, there is a "Holy Magic Book" that tells the story of the Thousand-Year War between Holy Demons. We don't know who the author is, but it is said that in this "Holy Magic Book", it records the Holy Magic Book.
There is a lot of unknown history in the Thousand-Year Demonic War. There are also descriptions of various mysterious treasures and fantasy magic. I believe there will also be many records about dark magic." Fanny said, "This "Code"
It has been sealed in a secret room in the Royal Library and protected by a magic circle. But today, I followed the route described by my father and came to the secret room. Only to find that the secret room was already empty.
"
"That means the book has been taken away by others?" Byron became nervous.
"It would be very scary if this book fell into the hands of some people with ulterior motives." Fanny looked solemn, "What I am most worried about is that everything that happens now is related to this book."
"Then we can narrow down the target range a lot." Byron thought for a moment, "The only people who can enter the Royal Library are the royal family members and upper-class nobles, as well as some of the library's caretakers."
"Come here, pass my order. Immediately investigate all entry and exit records of the Royal Library in the past six months, and conduct searches on all persons who have entered the Royal Library." Byron summoned the soldiers of the Byron Guard and issued the order.
"The management and maintenance staff of the library are okay, but it is very difficult to investigate members of the royal family?" Kevin asked, "And if the secrets of the "Sacred Magic Code" are completely revealed, I think it will definitely cause everyone to panic.
"
"I will ask His Majesty the King to issue a charter from the royal family. We can't wait for the situation to spread." Byron was very firm, "Fanny, your information today was very timely. Thank you very much."
"Then Lord Byron, what do you say?" Fanny winked at Byron, "How about you invite me to dinner tomorrow night? In order to keep in shape, I haven't eaten that fragrant barbecue for a long time.
"
"Barbecue..." Byron thought of something and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
