It was a cool night again. The black wings flew across the starry sky and slowly landed on the opposite bank of the river in the wind. Holding his waist tightly, Seckor took a few steps forward to avoid the impact. He quickly took off the flying wings, carefully folded them, and buckled up the belt.

“Finally got rid of those guys!” He looked up at the sky and clapped his hands proudly, laughing happily. Now that they were out of danger, they could go home soon! Although he failed in the mission and got a little injury, it didn’t affect his mood at all. He couldn’t wait to figure out his plan after he went back, without worrying about whether the others had escaped the encirclement safely.

He didn’t know what to do next…Seckor turned around and wanted to ask Vyrut about his plan, but he saw that Vyrut bowed his head and turned his back to him without saying a word, trembling slightly.

“Vyrut, what’s wrong with you?” The assassin hurriedly held his shoulder and felt that his hand was sticky and wet. He immediately felt that something was wrong and raised his hand. He saw a dark red blood print on the palm of his hand.

The young man with red eyes gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain. He pulled off the sweaty veil and stretched out his hand to press his shoulder.

Seckor immediately turned to his side and saw a long and thin crack on his shoulder, with a faint white light flashing. His heart thumped wildly. He tore the crack of the black robe nervously and found that the strong white force almost shrouded the whole shoulder blade, constantly biting the small wound. The skin had been large bruises and bruises from the wound to the outside, and the flesh was blurred.

“Damn! Bastard!” Seeing the injury, the assassin was so angry that his fingers trembled. He carefully helped Vyrut sit on the ground. Seeing that he gritted his teeth and endured it quietly, he was extremely anxious. Still, his mind was completely confused, and could not think of anyway.

“Find the neutralizer first.” Vyrut was very sober and gave an instruction. He pressed the blood vessel on the side of his shoulder hard to delay the erosion of the divine power.

Yes, the neutralizer…Seckor patted his forehead and pulled out the tie. Then he shook it a few times on the grass, and many bottles and jars fell down. Under the moonlight, he searched quickly and pushed away one bottle after another, but he still couldn’t find the light yellow drug bottle.

Where, where…The assassin turned around again, but he still couldn’t find the bottle of reagent. Sweat began to form on his forehead. How could it be? Vyrut gave me one. Did I leave it at home?

“What should I do? If I can’t find a solution to disperse the great force, the wound wouldn’t be able to heal at all…If it continues to drag it down, the great force will soon penetrate his body and even endanger his life. Damn it…” Kneeling on the ground, he stiffened into a wax statue. He felt a cold grab on his heart, making it difficult to breathe.

“……Er, Seckor! “The low voice of Vyrut woke him up in an instant. The shadow assassin turned his head subconsciously, his mouth trembling, and he did not know what to say. He continued to order, “Transfer the great force into the wound…”

“What?”

“Use your great force to neutralize the vibration, and take it back after the vibration reaction disappears…” Vyrut hurriedly explained. The sharp pain on his shoulder had made him a little dizzy, and drops of sweat fell from his face to the grass.

The super-powerful force was used to neutralize!? To trigger a great force vibration on a mortal’s body!?” Not to mention the piercing pain, what if something goes wrong…” Seckor didn’t want to think about what a cruel and terrible scene it was. He moved his lips and was about to say no when he saw Vyrut looking straight at him. His red eyes were full of palpitating firmness in the moonlight.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had returned to the state of spiritual connection with his friend that night. He could understand the meaning of the eyes: I believe you can do it. Don’t worry, you should also believe me.

Seckor gasped for breath. Why did he encounter such a life and death situation!? At this moment, he suddenly regretted his rash decision. If he had obeyed the order that night, or even if he had just brought a neutralizer, how could this have happened!? But there was no medicine for regret in the world. He could only take a risk…He took a deep breath to steady his trembling hands. His left hand covered the wound, and his right hand reached directly to the mouth of Vyrut.

“Bite it…” He lowered his head and uttered the word through his teeth. He didn’t dare to look into her red eyes again.

This guy…After hesitating for two seconds, Vyrut finally gently bit the arm wrapped in black. The next moment, the Black Mist appeared. The pain from the wound was indescribable as if it was going to crush his whole body, including the belt bone, and then twist it into a hemp thread. He bit his arm tightly and said nothing. A bitter smell of blood came from his mouth, and his mind was getting more and more confused. The black light disappeared in a few seconds, but he had fainted.

“Vyrut?” Regardless of the bleeding bite on his arm, Seckor felt his breath nervously before he was relieved.

He turned his head to look at the wound. The white divine light had been completely dispersed. Although the whole shoulder was more and more bruised because of the great force vibration, looking miserable, he knew that these were just ordinary injuries. As long as he found a doctor to treat them, he would soon recover.

Fortunately…Seckor sat on the ground and let out a long breath. He sat there numbly for a moment and then suddenly jumped up as if he was stabbed by a needle. He put all the bottles and jars on the ground into the band and buckled them back to his waist.

“I have to find a doctor first…” The assassin looked around vigilantly, tore open his black robe, and tied up the grass on the wound of Vyrut. Then he carefully picked him up, flew into the low bushes on the shore, and headed southeast.

The sound of the tide on the river bank was faintly heard. Not long after, the prince and the other two who followed him also appeared in front of the shrubbery.

The smell of blood…Jin Yuan waved the long spear and swept through the grass a few times. Then he ground the handle of the spear. The white light waves quickly spread through the whole bushes, but he did not find anything unusual. The surprise attack of the strange men in blood just now was still fresh in his memory. The spear guards dared not to be careless. He gathered his great strength and surrounded his body, revealing a large area of light.

“This way.” With the help of the white light created by Jin Yuan, the prince saw several pieces of broken black cloth on the ground. He walked forward and checked it carefully, and immediately found the bloodstains on the black cloth.

Jin Yuan held the spear tightly and walked to his side. Half squatting, he pointed out some blood, put it in his mouth, pressed it, and spit it out quickly.

“It’s a mortal…There is no trace of fighting here. He must have been shot by my light. “He turned to look at the prince and concluded softly.

Mortals…The one with the magic gun? Shane was surprised that the assassin who seemed to be the leader was a mortal? This was truly unexpected, but it was obviously more advantageous for him. Once a mortal was hurt by a great force, even if he had used a neutralizer, it would not be that easy to recover. They wouldn’t be able to escape far. The prince had secretly decided that they should take advantage of the victory to chase after them.

“Sir, please continue to use your magic. We’ll set out immediately and don’t miss the opportunity.” He made a gesture to Mr.Coorong and was about to leave as soon as possible.

“Your Highness, would you like to send another signal?” Frowning slightly, Jn Yuan tried to stop Shane. He was a little worried that Shane would be ambushed again. Although it was a good chance, he had to call some people over in case of any emergency.

Signal…The prince thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Jin Yuan took out a signal flare from his waist and threw it out. A white light flashed, leaving behind another cloud of colorful smoke in the air.

“Don’t worry. With the power of the two of us, they are not a threat at all.” Now he had the advantage, Shane could not help but feel a little relaxed. He patted Jin Yuan’s shoulder and waved at Sorcerer of Soul.

Mr.Coorong continued to lead the way, followed by the prince. Jin Yuan tried his best to protect the retreat with his spear. The three of them quickly moved forward and disappeared in the heavy bushes.

A gust of wind blew along the quiet bank of the river, blowing towards the magnificent porch bridge with cold mist—drops of cold dew condensed on the golden wind lamps.

A luxury cruise ship was slowly moving in the round top dock on the west side of the bridge. At first glance, the giant ship was like an airship without an airbag. The shuttle body was inlaid with several mysterious magic textures with blue crystal. At the front end of the ship was a huge white crystal Yak’s head. There was no spar on the silver deck. It must be a new type of ship driven by pure magic.

The boat’s bow was divided into three floors, including restaurants, bars, bathrooms, and other leisure places. On top of the boat was a large blue swimming pool, and around the pool was a sunshade. There were five-floor hotel style bedrooms at the end of the ship. There were all silver steel frames covered with glass plates on the other side of the ship, making sure that every room had sufficient light and a good view.

In the luxuriously decorated room on the top floor, the man in a black robe who broke through the city’s illusions was taking off his disguise. The thick hood was taken off, revealing the cold and arrogant face of Ms.Lovina. She slowly took off her coat and gloves, changed into a thin red dress, leaned against the window on the fluffy sofa, and quietly gazed at the bright night scene of the capital city in the distance.

A few gentle knocks were on the door, but the lady didn’t move and replied, “Come in, please.” The old housekeeper Louise pushed the door in and said softly, “Ms, the guest has woken up.” He turned around and revealed a small white face behind him. It was the Wandering who should have been imprisoned in the crown prince’s palace.

At this moment, Wandering was in a grey uniform of the northern alliance’s army. The strange makeup on his face had been washed away, and there was no trace of a killer on his face. He bit his lips and looked into the room, confused. He fainted inexplicably in that nightmare. When he woke up again, he saw the kind old Butler in front of him. He had already written in the assassination plan’s information as an enemy, and the Wandering naturally recognized it. Still, he was even more confused about the current situation. He stared at the woman who stood up straight and looked at him without blinking. He clenched his fists and was secretly on guard.

“Don’t be nervous, Roger…” The lady saw what he was doing and said with a smile, “You are safe now.”

This gentle tone seemed to have magic bewitchment, and the Wandering was in a trance. He couldn’t help but take a few steps forward and suddenly thought of a strange suspicion. “You know my name?”

“Of course, I know…” The lady’s smile didn’t fade away. She leaned back on the sofa and waved at the ghost. “I have been friends with Moreydrea for more than ten years. You had seen me when I was a child, and now you must have forgotten…”

When the Wandering heard the name of his leader, he believed more. He thought for a while but still couldn’t figure out the reason. After hesitating for a moment, he asked the lady again, “Ms. Lovina, sorry to say that…But…Did you plan this all? “

“Yes, it was me who suggested.”

“But…Why did you assassinate him? “

“It’s a long story…There has been a long time of enmity between the Askels and my family…My husband didn’t get the help from Askel, so he… “It seemed that Ms.Lovina didn’t want to continue. She closed her eyes and touched her chest, taking a few deep breaths as if trying to suppress the painful memory back to the deep of her heart.

After a long while, she turned her head to look out of the window. She continued in an unusually low voice, “I wanted to use your help to avenge myself, but I didn’t expect that the crown prince would suddenly get involved…”

“I see…” Only then did the Wandering understand the general reason for the whole thing. He had no doubt about the lady’s words and sighed secretly for his own safety. “How about the home now…” Thinking of the aggressive attitude of Seckor in the nightmare, he frowned and fell into deep worry.

The lady looked back at his sad face and knew what he was thinking. She comforted him softly, “Don’t worry. They left before you. Have a good rest here for a few days. I’m going to take a tour of the star city and send you back by the way. “

That’s great! Although the mission failed, it was an accident. At least everyone had left safely. The man felt relieved and quickly bowed to the lady to express his thanks.

“You’re welcome. Just treat this place like your own home. By the way, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Louise… “The lady smiled and made a gesture to the old housekeeper, “Take the guest to have dinner first.”

The old man bowed and said yes, then he took the Wandering to the restaurant. The lady stopped smiling and turned her head to look out of the window. After a while, the old housekeeper walked back. He closed the door and stood beside the lady, looking out of the window at night.

“Ms…This young man…seems not smart… it’s ok? “The old man stared out of the window expressionlessly and still had doubts about the lady’s plan.

“Only fools can be used…I thought he would come in person, but I didn’t expect that there were only a few heelers.”

“The people of Prince Yu have been watching him for a long time. I attacked him halfway.”

“……I didn’t expect that an old fogyish man like Yu Ling would be persuaded by him and be willing to do experiments for him… “The lady was a little emotional. She covered her mouth and coughed slightly.

“Ms, you…” The Butler frowned and looked at the lady worriedly.

“I know.” The lady interrupted him coldly and leaned against the sofa with her eyes closed.

There was an awkward silence in the room. After a while, the old man asked tentatively in a low voice, “as for the little master…What should I do? “

Ms.Lovina didn’t answer. She sank into the soft cushion as if she had fallen asleep. The old housekeeper waited for a moment and saw that she was still silent. He sighed secretly, shook his head, and left the room.

The door was closed behind her. The lady slowly opened her eyes with some tiredness, with imperceptible sadness in her eyes. She thought of her enemy that was hard to find in the south, and she came to comfort her friend and her only son who could not accompany her…Countless thoughts flew in her mind. She leaned against the sofa and thought for a long time. Suddenly, she stood up and walked to the window, turning the bronze handle inlaid in the middle.

The thick French window automatically opened to both sides. The moist river wind rushed in like a long-awaited hungry man, brushing the hair on her cheeks, causing her skin to tremble with cold, and blowing her long red dress like a flame.

The lady was still silent. She looked at the golden bridge in the distance, listening to the sound of the harbor, and her eyes flashed. She thought of the dazzling colorful lights at the concert that day. The audience shouted crazily, with the corners of her mouth slightly upward. How could she love this stage! Every song she wrote and every note she sang was made by her heart without any affectation. Because only on this stage, she was pure, without any other thoughts, and did not need to consider any consequences. She created this magnificent and gorgeous stage, but it was also this stage that supported her and prevented her from falling into the dark mire of revenge.

But she still had something to do and a mission to complete.” Moreydrea…” She repeated the name, and the faint smile faded quickly, disappearing in the cold north wind mixed with frost.

Winter was coming…The lady seemed to feel a little cold and put her arms around her chest. Looking at the lights of thousands of miles in the capital city, she gathered countless complex feelings and whispered, “goodbye…Jing. “

The gentle farewell disappeared with the wind, disappearing into the boundless desolation of the autumn night.
