In a small woods north of the temple, several transparent human figures suddenly formed between the rain curtains passing through the gloomy forests. The rain separated from them, and seven or eight assassins came out. The leader turned around and counted the number of people and found that it was half less.

"How many people have been lost?" he asked.

"Boss, nine people have not come back," someone answered immediately, "I asked with crystal, and two brothers met the man who inspected the cavalry battalion, and they were still behind." He stopped, "...I can't go and find that elemental messenger, all the people who have no news, are probably summoned by the Lady of Shadow."

"Then you don't have to wait for them," said the leader, "Let the 'Maned Rat' and Tobert go to the Shadow Temple to separate and we will be with us. We will take the target to meet the people from the Foundation," he looked at the person next to him, "What's the target?"

"Success," the man patted the sack. There was obviously a person in the sack, but there was no sound at this moment. He boasted: "Fortunately, we led the guard away in advance. I heard that the lady was a powerful figure. I heard from the people of the Viper family that it was much more powerful than the elements."

It's not just much more powerful.

In fact, the people from the Old Viper Family told them much more than that. The opponent was the teammate of the famous Dragon Alchemist who recently became famous. I heard that these people had also taken action during the Aiyin Bullock riot that day, and the people in the General Cavalry Bureau were thrown away.

Of course, it is no big deal to fight the patrol cavalry to lose their helmets and remove their armor.

The Aiyin Bullock patrol cavalry general office was filled with playboys, with few talented people inside, and most of them were embroidered pillows, which they could do. But it was unusual to cause the Imperial Knights to end up in that riot, and even use a few war weapons.

This incident has already spread to the city in Ayinblock. Not to mention that the people of the Karleye Draka family know that there has been a long history of rumors within the Shadow Brotherhood.

After the rain, the shadows dissipated.

But soon, another figure appeared on the spot again, looking at the traces left by the Brotherhood killers on the scene, silently.

The naturalist lady was wearing a long robe and holding a huge book in her hand. The robe was already soaked, and water droplets were hung on the glasses. The rain hit the copper shell of the magic furnace behind her and made a crisp sound, but she seemed to be unaware of it and pressed her hands on the pages, silently looking at the few shallow marks in the puddle.

When the raindrops approached the giant book, they automatically separated invisibly, as if there was a layer of mysterious protection on it.

In Aitalia, the names of Shadow Brotherhood, Dagger Brotherhood or Gray Dagger do not actually refer to a specific organization, but are the nickname of the local Nightingale Assembly, and are also called the Thieves Guild.

In some places, nightingales are under the jurisdiction of the Adventurers Guild, but in most places they walk in gray areas, thieves, pickpockets and night thieves in the city can be called nightingales. Of course, the profession of the nightingales does not exist because the star gate is opened. They themselves are one of the oldest professions in the world.

Most of the nightingale professions of the selected candidates also come from this.

Jita heard those people talking, and they mentioned the rainy night three days later, the Golden Goat Eisenglin family, and also the name of Karleye Draka, the name of the viper, the gathering of the Seven Magicians family, and the vocabulary of the Great Tomb. He had roughly determined the origin of these brotherhood killers in his heart.

As Luo Yu expected, the other party was still the ones behind him.

The names of the Seven Magic Family, the Golden Goat Eisen Greylin, and the Viper Tooth Karleye, have been called out recently. However, the Hawk family has just been hit, and anyone with discerning eyes can see the conspiracy behind it. Why does the Seven Magic Family dare to act so arrogantly?

The scholar's lady frowned her delicate eyebrows.

Duke Hawk's ship was attacked and his whereabouts are still unknown. The empire's investigation has been very slow, which is enough to arouse suspicion.

In fact, there have been various rumors outside, and those who are interested even speculate whether the powerful duke of the government and the opposition have lost power?

In other words, the cunning empire was not favored by the magic emperor, and it was already a matter of open opposition between him and His Majesty the Emperor, and the monarch who is gradually entering the most prosperous and ambitious stage of his life naturally has the means to clear away dissidents.

Otherwise, all this would be difficult to explain the progress of Apenander's investigation.

The superiors have no intention of advancing, so the people below will naturally deal with it.

In fact, there are all kinds of rumors on the market, and some say that His Majesty the Emperor intends to launch a war against the Grand Parliament in the southern rainforest. The war faction is actually the Imperial Workshop. This is easy to understand. Only by better understanding can the achievements of the alchemy revolution and convert them into visible benefits for the imperial alchemists.

The Craftsman Association is the leader of the reform and the biggest beneficiary.

Although Duke Hawk is not a dove, he lacks interest in advancing war. After all, in the eyes of the magicians, regaining dominance is more important.

In other words, he was the leader of the opposition. Although the method of being attacked by a ship was a little radical, breaking the political tacit understanding - the empire has never had much tacit understanding. Just like Kaurin-Ishurien, the political tacit methods are often 'varied'.

And since the Supreme One has already acquiesced, many things have been explained behind it.

Jita naturally would not completely win the trust of these unreasonable rumors, but the scholars clearly saw it privately that the arbitration they participated in about the Aiyin Bullock patrol cavalry battalion was actually a sign of the change in the wind direction.

Someone used them as a pawn.

In fact, Silweid told her privately about such things—

Their commander was not sensitive to politics, but their Miss Shipman was not.

In other words, such speculation exists. In this case, the Seven Magic Family dares to commit crimes against the wind, either because they are extremely bold or there is a deeper reason behind it. With Jita's caution and caution, he will naturally be more inclined to the latter possibility.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So what is the reason for the other layer?

Although the magicians of the Seven Family shared their hatred and wiped out the Holfin School twenty years ago, it is not that there is only one voice among the magicians of the Empire. In fact, on the contrary, there is a clear camp between the magicians of the Seven Family and the magicians outside, and even the seven families.

The viper Karleye, the golden goat Eisenglin and the cunning Hawk family.

In the Ayon Bullock incident, the Golden Goat Eisenglin seemed to have temporarily reached an alliance with the cunning owl, but Carleye was still alone as always. The old venomous snakes were not concerned about the politics of the empire, but the heirs of their masterless magic book.

She also heard the Brotherhood killers mention the gathering of the magicians of the Seven Family.

Jita knows something about this so-called gathering.

The Seven Magicians' family of the Aoshu people actually have a tradition of assembly since history. They call it the Seven Sages Council. Although there are also parliaments in the Star and Moon Tower, the Star and Moon Council of the Empire control the Seven Sects' mages, and the Parliament of the Eshu people is still above it.

It was a parliament above the parliament. The magicians of the seven families controlled the puppet they had set up by the Star and Moon Tower through such a secret parliament.

That is, the traitor of the Holfin School twenty years ago, the Great Speaker named Valen Fuller, who had met before.

As far as the scholars know, the magicians of the seven families gathered in the sewer of Ayinblock - there was a public cemetery, which was called the large tomb cellar by outsiders.

This sounds a bit incredible, but it actually comes from ancient traditions. Because it was originally a public cemetery under the Great Hall of Light. In the War of the Giants, this is where the priests of the God of Light Oli, the God of Light, treat the wounded, and it is also a place for temporary corpses to be parked.

The magicians lived next to the Reverend Milera at that time. The first generation of magicians trained the magicians of the Aishi people from the underground of Ayinblock as a base to form a magical corps. At that time, there were even magicians of the Noumerlin elves who were stationed here.

Later that place became the secret meeting point for the Imperial Magicians. After the rise of the Seven Magicians family, this place has always been the place where their great parliament is located.

When Jita heard the other party mentioning the tomb and the assembly, he knew that the other party was talking about the secret gathering of the Seven Magic Family. Calculated the time, and it was almost this time of year. It seemed that they were planning to use this secret gathering, but what was the purpose?

Is it just because of Leila and Brita?

Because the school they once defeated twenty years ago rekindled?

For the Seven Magic Family, are there some big problems? What's more, now they are like a stunning person, and there is a craftsman association behind them. The Emperor is watching. Shouldn't they pay attention to their own life and death first?

However, Jita shook her head gently and put her thoughts aside. Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't plan to go into it any more.

Didn’t she come here just to know the answer?

"Three days later, a secret meeting..."

"People must be sent to the tomb cellar before the rainstorm night..."

The scholar retelled it softly.

She stretched out her hand and pointed at a few footprints in the puddle. Suddenly, a faint white mist rose from the rain and spread out into the distance.

Jita chanted softly: "...The ghost that King Angeles had seen in the rain, after silently hearing the requests of the knights, nodded to them and floated towards the forest..."

It was a passage in "History of Northern Wars". Later, the wizards used that story to transform a spell and inquire about the soul, and she just borrowed that method.

Although there is no soul here, the naturalists' method is to create non-existent things from the story, which is also one of their most incredible abilities, making others unable to defend themselves. Jita is commonplace with this and looks calm.

She watched the white mist float away, and her figure naturally disappeared into the rain curtain, like a phantom.

Even those footprints disappeared into the rain.

Just as everything that happened here has never existed before.

...

Due to heavy rain outside, the fire in the entire temple was not serious. The fire only extended along an inner corridor to the second floor, affecting two or three rooms, and was quickly extinguished by the clergy of Milera who rushed over after hearing the news.

When Hayn and Luo Yu squeezed into the panicked crowd, there was no open fire in the fire on the side hall where the fire broke out, and only a few buildings were charred. Fortunately, most of the halls were made of stone structures, so they did not cause much damage.

However, the patrol cavalry inspected it and found no trace of Brita, nor was the body found in the fire. The attacker seemed to have taken the person away.

Hayn's face changed when he heard this. He turned to look at Luo Yu: "Mr. Luo Yu, Brita..."

Luo Yu shook his head at him, did not answer, but only asked the priest of the temple and the guards on the periphery to understand the situation.

The center of the fire point was not in Brita's room, but a nearby room, where several patrol cavalry were on duty. After Luo Yu inspected, he found several traces of fighting. The opponent's technique was exactly the same as the attack on him.

He also found dry blood on the wall, and the high temperature made the blood coagulate on the wall to form dark patches. Soon, news came from the resurrection statue, confirming the attack on the on-duty personnel.

After hearing the news, Star and Moon Council Speaker Valen looked incredible and asked the people next to him what had happened. "How dare they do this?" He wiped the sweat from his shiny forehead and asked in an incredible tone: "How could there be such a madman when attacking the temple? If Ms. Milera cast a glance..."

"Ms. Milera is not here, you are the ones who are in charge of guarding here." Hayn said angrily.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Luo Yu pulled him aside. Luo Yu could roughly guess the young man's feelings for Brita, but he did not express any opinions on this, and he still looked at the silent and silently. He just silently looked at the Speaker.

Of course, he also learned about this person's identity in the past few days. The other party's identity was special, but he didn't look concerned about it. He only looked a little stuffy. He even pulled the nail buckle on the collar and fanned the air.

Luo Yu was worried that leaving Hayne with this young man would have a conflict with the other party, so after the inspection, he also took the other party away from the side hall. He asked, "Do you know that Mr. Speaker?"

"He?" Hayn looked unhappy, "That guy is just a traitor. He agreed to transfer Brita over. I thought he had a conscience, but I didn't expect that he was not bullshit. He is the speaker, and everyone knows that he only dares to be timid in front of the Seven Family. This matter may not be related to him."

Luo Yu refused to comment and just asked: "Does he know Laila's identity?"

"I know," Hayn said, "but it's only limited to knowing. Many people in the Astrology Academy know Layla's identity, but Sir Ash is gone, and not many people are willing to pursue the old things. After all, it was the past twenty years ago, and not everyone is a magician of the Seven Family. If it weren't for this, we and Brita wouldn't have formed this club."

Luo Yu nodded.

Hayn looked at him with some anxiety, "Mr. Luo Yu, Brita..."

Luo Yu glanced at the other party, thought for a while but still couldn't tell the truth. He just shook his head and said, "Don't worry."

This answer naturally cannot satisfy Hayn, but he cannot come up with a better solution - after all, the most reliable ones on their side may be Luo Yu and Ji Ta. He is a student of the Astrology Academy, and of course he also understands that the magician is not omnipotent.

He thought for a while and could only mention it weakly that he could summon others to see if he could find any clues. But they were just college students in the Astrology Academy, and these people even dared to attack Milera's temple. Their crazyness had already exceeded the cognition of these college students.

Hayn actually didn't understand it very much.

It's just an old thing from twenty years ago. Can it be so done?
