Paladin

They talked for a while in the hall, and the demon flew in from the window, bouncing around Hewitt for a while.

The mage made a casual move, causing the demon to fly to his hand, and then communicated with it for a few seconds, with a rare look of surprise on his face, and said, "Kyle Spencer was sent here with you, and now I'm here lost in the labyrinth."

Evan asked in surprise, "Did he come after him, or was it an accident?"

After half an hour.

"...It was an accident." Kyle smiled wryly and raised his hands—he was being bound by a demonized rope, indicating that he was not threatening. If anything happens..."

Evan frowned slightly, looked at Kyle and said, "Tell the truth."

Kyle's words were choked by him, and he sighed after a while, and could only confess honestly: "I want to prevent the portal from closing, so that the Holy Court's team can follow Felix, so I can continue to follow Monteiro Damn, they started questioning me last time I was caught by you...I have to do something to make my case."

Evan slowly turned around Kyle's camps in his mind, feeling a mess, and couldn't help but said: "So are you working for the Pietists of the Holy See, or the assassin organization of Blue Bell Flower, or your mother Spencer?" Where is the Countess Sai?"

Kyle hummed, and said seriously: "I don't do things for them. I will help whichever side is right. This time, Lord Mystic Blood's plan hurt innocent people. I was sent to assist in this plan, and I was very depressed, so I wanted to help the Holy Court hunt him down."

Evan snorted, but was speechless. Thinking about it carefully, Kyle seemed to have stayed in several camps and had no loyalty to any of them.

As the two men talked, Hewitt stood quietly, thoughtful.

Kyle looked back and forth between Hewitt and Evan, and after a while he tentatively said, "It's like I don't know which side you are working for, is it the Arcanist's side, the Holy See or the Knights Templar?"

Evan sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "Well, Hewitt doesn't stand in the team either, you are all wayward guys, I understand."

Hewitt concluded slowly: "At least now we are here to make Felix pay."

Not long after, Hewitt received a meeting notice from the Thorium Council, and immediately asked the golem to take them to rest for a while, and went down to the basement by himself.

Evan and Kyle have a weird dinner together.

On the way, Evan suddenly asked: "You killed the head priest of the Knights Templar before, was it an order from Bluebell Flower?"

Kyle was taken aback and said, "No, no, I didn't mean to kill your Knights, don't kill me..."

Evan: "...I didn't come to seek revenge."

"...Oh," Kyle picked up the fork that he had frightened off, "that's fine. You probably don't know that the head pastor has always been an authoritarian. When Byron III was in power before, he incited the holy The Knights Templar participated in the war where the Duchess Spencer went to the north to quell the chaos..."

"Why did he do this?"

"This is very complicated. The authoritarian faction has been establishing diplomatic relations with His Majesty the Emperor of the Casa Empire. If the Emperor can get the support of the Knights Templar, the military power of the Spencer family will be less terrifying, and the war will end more easily. , the more reason to ask Spencer to reduce the number of troops... The consolidation of the imperial power is also conducive to the consolidation of the religious power, and the patriarchalists are very worried that after the death of Byron III, the Pietists will get the Pope's position..." Kyle He opened his mouth and said, his speech was very gentle, and the content was very substantial, and at the same time he did not forget to fill his stomach.

Evan was confused when he heard it, and clasped his hands and propped his chin for a while, he nodded thoughtfully on the surface, but thought in his heart: I didn't understand at all!Hewitt save me...

As time went by in the evening, another uninvited guest arrived unexpectedly.

Little Phoenix met a guest while playing in the garden, and led him all the way to Evan.

Evan looked seriously at the extremely fat quail in front of him—it was about the same size as the little phoenix, and while happily playing the game of chasing and fleeing with the little phoenix in mid-air, he made chirping sounds.

Kyle stood by and watched for a while, and couldn't help asking: "The natural world is really amazing, so... plump quails can fly as nimbly as a phoenix?"

Evan nodded thoughtfully, and asked the quail curiously: "Mr. Delevingne, I also have this question. Your quail form really flies with only a pair of... such small wings Did you get up?"

The quail stopped in mid-air, and was nearly knocked into the air by the little phoenix that was chasing up. After finally stabilizing, it quickly flapped a pair of out-of-proportion pocket wings, and said in a druid voice: "I am not Quail! I am an owlbeast! Owlbeast! Even though I look fat, it’s just that my hair is thicker, and I can fly very nimbly!”

Kyle: "..."

Evan snorted, and asked again: "Okay, Delevingne, how did you find this place, what can you do to come to me?"

The druid didn't speak yet, but Kyle next to him said in horror: "You... are you a druid?"

Delevingne looked Kyle up and down, and recognized that he was dressed as a cardinal of the Holy See. He rolled his eyes and said, "Evan, why are you surrounded by young priests and fools? I don't want to repeat the previous scene. ..."

Evan smiled helplessly: "Delevingne, this is Kyle Spencer, he is different from Cecis, his main occupation is not a priest, but an assassin..."

This time it was the druid's turn to be dumbfounded.

They sat down in the garden, and the druid changed from a quail... oh no, owlbeast form back to a human form—the little phoenix was completely dumbfounded, squatting on top of Evan's head, staring at the druid all the time.

Delevingne shyly said, "Little Ao, dear, we've been playing for so long just now, you don't know me anymore?"

Little Phoenix stared at him for a while, then suddenly screamed: "Ai Jiujiu! Ai Jiujiu! Help!"

Draven: "..."

Evan pulled the little Phoenix off with distress, and the little Phoenix got his head into Evan's arm, leaving his butt exposed.

Evan coughed and said, "Delevingne, are you here to find me?"

The druid said with some resentment: "Yeah, my brother saw something with the group of centaur astrologers again, and called me to come over to help...it's even worse than the bishop."

His elder brother, the druid, once warned Evan in his dream. Evan was impressed by this, and nodded in agreement: "It's really a magic stick."

Kyle sat at the table and pretended he wasn't the bishop.

"My brother said that you will leave the holy city of Corunna soon, so he asked me to fly to East Bierrence in advance to prepare..." Delevingne muttered, "I'll wait here For more than a month, nothing! Nothing! After asking around, the person in charge here is the Earl of Clayfield, who just squats outside this manor and waits, waits, and chats with the trees here. They said that there is a man named Fei Rex's little boy lives in the gravel swamp..."

Evan paused for a while, then slowly said: "So your brother already knew that Felix was in the gravel swamp, and that we would chase him here?"

"He also knows that you can't get into the swamp, and you need my help—because there is a toxin passed down from ancient times in the swamp, called corpse poison or something...that guy made it." Draven said again.

Evan wondered, "'That guy'?"

"That... that... Cesis!" Delevingne groaned, and when he mentioned Cesis, he looked unhappy, "That little human priest! Didn't he break up with you from Moa City and run out by himself? Well! In the end, he was caught by Felix, alas, you don’t know, Felix handed over the Ancient Lich’s Codex to one of his subordinates to play with, but that subordinate ran and ran, and died in the east. Wasn't he killed by you? The source of the corpse poison on his body was transferred to that Cesis, and Felix ran over to catch him back by himself. Only then did the poisonous gas appear in the gravel swamp..."

Evan stood up suddenly, and said in amazement: "... Cesis?!"

He paced back and forth, obviously caught off guard by the unexpected news, and then asked Delevingne, "So Gray-robed Gray belongs to Felix, so could it be that Felix ordered him to grab the amber? The source of corpse poison …I’m afraid it’s the cause of the famine curse, and why Felix did it, the Lich Handbook…Thesis…Isaac Rhode’s bones…”

Evan looked at Draven, who was lying on the table, complaining: "I know less than you, how do I know what these mages with black water in their stomachs are thinking?"

Evan looked at Kyle again, and Kyle spread out his hands neatly, saying that he was more confused than Delevingne.

After a while, Hewitt came out of the house, and happened to see the three people at the stone table looking at him helplessly.

Evan coughed and said, "Uh..."

Before he explained the problem, Hewitt raised a note in his hand and said, "I have Felix's Lich Handbook. I took it after destroying Gray's lair."

Evan's mind was full of chaos, and after a while, he tried to organize his thoughts: "Gray in gray is his man, what does he want to do?"

Hewitt put the Lich Letter on the stone table, put his hands back into his sleeves, and said indifferently: "I roughly know what Felix is ​​doing - he is seeking to revive Isaac. Rhodes' forbidden technique. It's just that I still can't explain what he has to do with the Grand Leader who has been dead for more than 100 years."

Speaking of this, Hewitt paused for a moment, thinking he was sorting out his thoughts and preparing to explain to them.

Kyle and Delevingne looked up at him together, and Delevingne whispered to Evan: "The world of mages and mages is too complicated, your great arcanist must have thousands of circuits in his mind... anyway He explained that I didn't understand, so I didn't listen, why not just tell me: where to go, who to do, how to do..."
