Lord Highlander

Antonio stood at the head of Duke Josie's bed with a serious expression, unfolding a magic sheepskin scroll in his hand, and his eyes fell on the scroll.

"In July 2585, Knight Arlo, who lived at No. 503 Dashizi Street, South District of Everson City, disappeared. According to the clues provided by his family, Knight Arlo was invited out for a drink by a group of Busman family knights. He did not return, but the place where he disappeared was the Rose Tavern in the city center. No one knows when Arlo Knight left the Rose Tavern. His body was found in a mass grave in late July. His body was mutilated at that time. The abdomen was completely cut open, and the heart inside was cut out with a sharp weapon."

"We found an eyewitness who showed up at Bousman Castle on the night that Knight Arlo disappeared."

"In September of the same year, the body of the knight Absolen who lived in Bulawayo was found in the culvert outside the city of Evolsen. It is still recognizable that his abdomen was cut open and his liver was removed..."

"In March 2586, Denton Knight, who lived at 57 Constanton Street in Windhoek, died tragically on the street. His head is still missing. We have sufficient evidence to prove that you have close ties with members of the Black Arts Priory."

"In June of the same year, the body of Knight Bart who lived in... was found on the guillotine in the execution ground in the eastern part of Everson City. His left arm disappeared."

"September of the same year, living in... Clarence Knight, right arm..."

"January 2587, living in... Jesse Knight, left leg..."

"In May of the same year, Ju...Klaus Knight, right leg..."

"We have enough evidence to show that you tried to study an ancient black magic ritual - 'life transformation', you sacrificed some parts of the seven knights, and then swallowed them alive. It is said that this ancient ritual It can rejuvenate the body, but... obviously you failed, you look older than your father, Duke Ryan, these rituals did not bring any effect to your body."

"As for... the evil mage who assisted you in arranging the black magic ceremony, we have already captured, but this guy knows some of our methods, before falling into our hands, he burned himself to ashes, but his That apprentice assistant doesn't have the guts, I swear I'll smash every bone in his body and make him spit out the truth."

"You are really a lunatic, a mutant ogre, who dared to defy the laws of the Grimm Empire, commit such a heinous crime, and still live in the city of Everson calmly. If the president of the Walson Magic Union suppresses us, will our law enforcement team give in and let the murderer get away with it?"

Antonio put away the sheepskin scroll in his hand, stuck it to Duke Josie's ear and said:

"You are so naive."

He bound Earl Josie with the 'Binding of the Wind', stretched out his hand and patted Earl Josie's old and withered face and said:

"That's right, Duke Ryan may use his power to make you flout the laws of the Grimm Empire. You can bribe those in power in the magic world to let you evade legal sanctions, but so what?"

"I didn't even intend to let you go to the law enforcement team to participate in the trial. I declare to you now that when your life is dedicated to the dark goddess Shilin, you are the enemy of our magicians for life. I don't care how you die."

After speaking, Antonio showed a cruel smile on his face.

"...No, you have no right to do that." Earl Josie lay on the bed, struggling hard.

Antonio shook his head and said to Count Josey:

"Don't you understand? I don't need anyone to give me this right."

Josie Busman lay stiff on the bed, watching Suldak place four pottery bowls and simple items needed for the sacrificial ceremony on the carpet in front of the bed. The souls in the four pottery bowls After the fire was ignited, Suldak took out a head of an evil spirit from his back pocket, and prayed silently in the ritual circle. In Suldak's indigenous language prayer, a A demon statue appeared in the room. This demon statue looked a bit tall, with its head almost touching the ceiling.

Antonio also looked at Surdak in surprise.

Josie Busman trembled all over, watching the head of the evil spirit in front of Suldak's body disappear little by little, and then the face of the two-faced four-armed demon god, representing the devil, faced Suldak, and the pair of empty eyes on the statue looked like It has endless suction, and is greedily absorbing the magical elements in the surrounding air. The next moment, even the "wind bondage" that Antonio arranged on Count Josie showed some signs of disintegration.

Suldak didn't want to prolong the ceremony, so he directly sacrificed the head of the evil spirit to the face of the demon, and a bloody beam of light fell from the sky on Suldak.

The magic effect of 'death and withering' fell on him, and then he ended the sacrifice ceremony, and the figure of the double-faced demon god disappeared in the room.

Seeing the faint bloody aura under Suldak's feet, Antonio frowned, and asked cautiously, "What kind of ceremony is this?"

"This is a sacrificial ceremony that I learned from an indigenous great wizard over there on the Warsaw plane. You can gain some extraordinary power in a short period of time by sacrificing some sacrifices." Suldak said without any concealment. Antonio was the first magician he knew, and he hoped that Antonio could answer some questions about what his sacrificial ceremony was from the perspective of magic.

Antonio's face became a little ugly for a while. He took out a magic test crystal and pointed it at Suldak. The hexaprism-like test crystal emitted seven colors of light in Antonio's hand. When it pointed at Suldak, the magic crystal All the seven colors of light faded away, and Antonio's eyebrows almost stood up. The next moment, he grabbed the magic wand in his hand and said, "Is this black magic?"

But at this time, a kind of pale gold reappeared on the magic test crystal. Although the light was weak, the color was very pure.

Antonio immediately denied what he said a moment ago, and drew a new conclusion: "...No, you clearly have a sacred aura on your body, and the two cannot coexist. This is the aura of life magic."

"Hey, someone told me before that I have the affinity for the magic element of the holy department, and I can control the power of holy magic." Suldak walked slowly to the bed, smiled and said to Antonio, and then asked: "What is this?" Is this sacrificial ceremony considered heresy in the Grimm Empire?"

Antonio frowned, his sharp gaze passed over Surdak, he thought for a moment before saying:

"This should be a kind of prayer ceremony for the natives of the Warsaw plane, praying for the power of the gods, which can be regarded as a blessing from the gods, and it can also be called a divine power possession, but the latter is more appropriate, but the power of this god is too small A little bit, the requirements for you are extremely low, and you are there at any time, and you can send blessings with the lowest sacrifice. Your prayer ceremony is not explicitly prohibited in the Grimm Empire, but it is also in line with the mainstream magic of the magic world. Running counter to it, it’s better not to show it in front of people.”

Unexpectedly, although Antonio looks younger, his knowledge is very extensive.

Hearing what Antonio said, Suldak smiled and said, "I know you are the best friend..."

Antonio glanced at the door of this bedroom, and urged Suldak: "Okay, let's talk about these things later, get ready to do it."

"Withered, broken, ruined all of this, and comforted the loneliness of the eternal night with the beautiful withering - death and withering"

Without any hesitation, Suldak signaled Antonio to step back. The blood-colored halo under his feet flashed and disappeared, and then he saw the blood-colored halo appearing under Count Josie's body, which was the blood-colored halo showing a diameter of two meters. There are so many circles inside that it looks like a pool of blood, and those pools of blood that have transformed are bubbling and bubbling.

I saw a bouquet of flowers in the vase on Earl Josie's bedside withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Suldak could clearly feel that the vitality of Earl Josie was being stripped out and slowly poured into himself. body of.

Josie Busman made a cooing sound in his throat, but he couldn't yell out anyway, and the age spots on his face became heavier and deeper, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper and deeper, even around his lips. There are many wrinkles, and in just a dozen seconds, Earl Josie Busman seems to be ten years older.

And the various organs of his body were also rapidly failing. A minute later, Earl Josie Busman's life came to an end. He closed his eyes peacefully, lying on the bed as if he had fallen asleep.

After waiting for 'Death and Withering' to disappear slowly, Antonio stepped forward, reached out and touched Josie Busman's heart, and found that his body was getting cold rapidly, so he looked at Suldak and clicked nod.

Before leaving, Antonio picked up the vase and held it in his hand...
