Knight with Wand

Staring at the handsome boy who seemed to appear out of thin air from the optical camouflage and spoke fluent Feru, Leon had a lot of questions in his mind.

Alert spell?

Since the other party showed this superpower of invisibility, he was obviously a magic caster.

Then what he was referring to was naturally some kind of spell that could be understood literally.

But Leon knew that he had no idea what the so-called destruction of the spell was.

He didn't rush to answer, but asked back: "Are you from this Atias Embassy?"

The blond boy looked at Leon carefully, and the tiny expectation in his eyes gradually disappeared.

But he still nodded, pulled down his collar, and showed the mark on his neck: "I am a slave of Pilieno, but don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you."

Leon looked at his magic pattern that was the same as Elena's. This boy was also a slave imprisoned by a spell.

The truth is probably as he claimed, otherwise if he really had malicious intentions, he would not have to show up in front of him.

These guys who can cast spells are really beyond common sense, fortunately they are not enemies for the time being.

Leon breathed a sigh of relief and then answered the other party's question: "I don't know what you mean by the warning spell, but no matter who did it, it was not me."

After hearing his clear denial, although Corvis had already made a judgment in his heart, he was still a little disappointed.

"You are not Kantadars, so the purpose of coming here is just to rescue Ms. Elena?" The blond boy turned and continued to ask.

"Did you hear everything I said just now?" Lohak was annoyed that he had revealed the identities of the three people without any investigation.

Elena couldn't help but pull her brother's sleeve: "Corvis is my friend. He has been helping me these days. He won't harm us."

"As Ms. Elena said, I don't want to reveal your identity." The blond boy turned and said regretfully: "But I still want to advise you not to give away your life and Elena's life in vain."

"You misunderstood, friend." Leon heard the words and explained to the boy who seemed friendly for the time being: "I know your master. I mean that the wizard named Pilieno may be very powerful, but we don't intend to take Elena away by force.

My partner has established some political friendship with Pilieno and is trying to buy Elena's personal freedom."

"Politics. Friendship?" The blond boy was stunned when he heard this word.

Recalling the fantasies and dirty talk Pilieno had about a handsome young nobleman he had just fallen in love with in the room last night, the young man couldn't help but laugh out loud: ".Puff~ Hehe~ Yes. Sorry, I'm rude."

"Your partner, do you mean the noble son who came here with you today?"

Leon saw the strange sneer on the young man's face, and his shoulders were shaking with joy, and he couldn't help but frown.

"What? This plan is ridiculous?"

Looking at the other party's inexplicable reaction, he secretly had a bad premonition.

"~No, no, no, if, as you said, the noble son can establish some kind of "friendship" with my master? Maybe he can redeem Ms. Elena."

The blond boy took a deep breath to stop laughing.

He shook his head, calmed down again, and pointed to his neck: "But are you going to let Elena leave with this shackle?"

As he said, Corvis looked at Lohak and said: "You just claimed to be a knight of Orland. In this case, the identity of the Lord 'Aleia Casoles' is also forged?

In this way, even if you temporarily please my master and take Elena away from here, if Pilieno finds out that you have played a trick on him later, Elena's life and death in the future will all depend on his mood."

"You mean, even if Pilieno releases Elena, he will not be willing to remove the curse on his neck?" Leon asked.

"It's not a question of willingness or not, it's that it can't be done at all. At least, Pilieno certainly can't do it."

The blond boy's eyes revealed a little bitterness: ".As far as I know, there is only one way to remove the 'blood oath curse'."

"That is the death of the swearer."

In the living room, Azerien was frightened by the explicit hint of the man behind him, and his fair face became even more pale.

Feeling an indescribable nausea on his shoulder, he stood up suddenly, stepped back with a chill on his back, and almost wanted to run away immediately.

The noble boy was instinctively nervous, feeling as if he had become a lamb that had strayed into a tiger's den.

"Haha, it seems that my attitude is a little anxious and scared you, Aleia." Pilieno turned around with the back of the chair, chuckling at the "cute" reaction of the handsome boy.

He was not in a hurry, so he just let the other party escape to the door.

After all, it was still on the territory of the Kantardars.

No matter how much he looked down on the "barbaric country" on this continent, directly forcing a son of a Kantardar noble, even if he was just a noble boy from a poor family, was undoubtedly an insult to the ruler of this land.

Pilieno did not want to face the simultaneous blame of the empire and the Kantardars for such a trivial matter.

Besides, it was much more fun to subdue a noble and beautiful boy than to use rough and direct means.

".I. I, no, I mean, I have to, I have to. I never thought that this is too ridiculous between men."

The panicked Azarian was no longer as calm as before. He even stuttered and couldn't find the order of words when he spoke.

"I can give you time to think about it."

Pirieno stepped forward with an ambiguous tone and reached out to lift the boy's chin: "But if you refuse in the end, then I will have to reconsider funding and support.

You don’t want to never have the chance to regain your father’s title and territory, right? "

Although he had read about the behavior of good men in aristocratic circles from books, he personally experienced this unconventional and insulting thing. The chill that spread from his heels to the top of his head made Azarian shudder.

Recalling the warm face-to-cheek greeting when he first arrived, he could no longer hold back the nausea in his stomach.

"Your Excellency! Please forgive me and let me think about it!"

The young man twisted his head to break away from the contact, shouted, pushed the door open and ran away.

The son of a nobleman, who had always considered himself brave, had never felt so helpless as now.

He just wanted to get away from that salty man with terrifying eyes as soon as possible.

Finding the two companions in the courtyard, Azarian fled back to Leon and the two, angrily wanting to repay Pirieno for his previous misjudgment of his friendly attitude.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Seeing the embarrassed look in his partner's eyes, Leon stopped Azarian for the time being.

He was now convinced that what the blond boy said before was true.

That Atias man was so enthusiastic about Azarian, not for political investment at all, the real reason was so dirty.

The three people hurriedly left the embassy and returned to the guest room in the west area of ​​the castle.

After carefully exchanging the information obtained from each other, the atmosphere suddenly became dull again.

Not to mention the embarrassing "dilemma" Azarian encountered.

Just the enslavement on Ms. Irina's neck that even the caster could not break made them helpless.

To take a step back, even if they reluctantly sacrificed their partner's "gouzi" in exchange for the opportunity to redeem Elena.

But even after taking Rohak's sister and escaping to the ends of the earth, Pirieno, who realized that he had been fooled, still had only one thought, and Ms. Elena would immediately move her head.

Such a result of life and death being in the hands of the other party is unacceptable to the three of them no matter what.

Considering the current situation, Leon knew that there was only one way before everyone.

Kill him.

Pirieno must be killed!

There is no other way.

But facing off against a legendary magician

Leon rubbed his temples with a frown.

He has a deep understanding of how powerful the magic in this world is.

The arrow of Isha, which is powerful enough to have large-caliber bullets, has saved his life twice in danger.

This is just a so-called little magic that Miss Laura said is not worth mentioning.

What is the power of the more powerful spell?

And even if we don’t talk about Miss Laura, who is not very good at herself.

The whirlwind magic displayed by Count Trossa's warlock advisor, and the invisibility magic displayed by the blond boy today.

Also weird and unpredictable.

And according to what the young man named Corvis said.

In Artias, apart from apprentices, spellcasters who can usually be called magicians have three official evaluation titles given by the "Imperial Mage Society" from low to high.

They are "right position", "canon position", and "magic guide".

If only Covis hadn't been bragging.

Anyone who is not a pure scholar-type spellcaster who specializes in academic research, as long as he is a regular mage and is well prepared, can easily kill several or even a dozen powerful heavy-armored warriors in a direct armed conflict. .

And Pirieno is the "canon" above this.

As expected, he possesses terrifying magic power that is enough to tear apart a small army of ordinary people.

Although Covis also admitted that Pirieno's title is full of water.

If he had not paid bribes for many years in the Imperial Mage Society, he would not have been awarded the title of "canon".

But even so, as a high-level mage close to a true canon, he is by no means a being that the three of Leon can fight against.

That.

Not from the front.

What about the one who comes to Yin?

Poisoning food.

Assassinate when you are resting and unprepared?

Leon once again regretted that before hanging Boris, he was so focused on territorial affairs that he actually forgot where the incense and incense that the interrogation village ruffian had originally obtained were obtained.

Thinking about it later, Boris on the gallows had already been beaten to pieces with stones by the angry villagers.

He raised his hands and silently gestured with the seal of Yisha's Arrow.

Can you hit him from a distance and snipe him while he's not paying attention?

Just as Leon and his partners were thinking hard about the feasibility of the assassination plan, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Sir Alaya, can I come in?"

The three people in the room looked at the door unexpectedly.

Azarian was a little confused, he had never heard this voice.

But Leon could tell that it looked like the slave boy from the previous embassy was outside.

Just in case, Leon and Rohark stood up and re-acted before opening the locked door.

The person who came was indeed the blond boy.

It's just different from the cool dress he wore before, wearing a white tunic.

He came to visit now, wearing a black cloak and a hood covering his head, covering himself tightly.

It doesn't look like he wants to hide his identity.

After all, with such an airtight appearance, his appearance stood out among the crowd in the castle.

"Excuse me."

Corvis walked in without any politeness, raised his hand, closed the door and locked it, as if he was no longer an outsider.

Azarian looked surprised: "Who are you?"

Leon quickly introduced this trusted friend of Ms. Elena to his partners.

After explaining Corvis's identity, Leon looked at him and asked with some surprise: "You can actually enter and exit the embassy freely?"

"So many years of obedience and patience have finally paid off. In Pirieno's eyes, I am as well-behaved as a pet."

As Corvis answered, he put the arm that stretched out the cloak back into his robe. He tightened the cloak in front of his body, and then found an empty chair and sat down in front of everyone.

"When I learned that His Excellency 'Alea' rejected my master, I gave him a reason and said that I would help him to persuade him. After all, my face should be more dignified than Pirieno's appearance. Be more convincing." The blond boy lowered his eyes and laughed at himself.

Indeed, Leon thought.

This young man was so handsome that it was hard to distinguish between male and female, even more handsome than Azerion. I don't know how many weird aunts he could have made scream in his previous life.

But now that he knew about Pirieno's evil habits, he could only feel great sympathy for this dear friend, and it was hard to imagine how he survived.

In a world where the jungle prevails and there is no strong order or moral restraint, and you have no power to protect yourself, looking good is often not a good thing.

This is the same for both men and women.

Leon couldn't help but feel lucky that his skin was ordinary.

"Then you came to us, do you have any advice?" Leon faintly realized that this young man who had been bound by a curse for many years seemed to have never really given up the opportunity to be free.

"Let me see your determination."

"determination?"

"Yes, if you have given up on the difficulties, I will naturally not put my slim hope on you anymore." The blond boy replied calmly.

"Are you willing to help us?" Rohark listened and felt a little surprised.

Compared to the wild speculations of the three of them, if the person in front of Pirieno who knows him well and is beside him betrays him, the probability of the plan succeeding is undoubtedly much higher.

"This is not only helping you, but also helping myself. But before that, it depends on how far you can go." The blond boy was noncommittal.

"Wait, with all due respect, since you have endured for so many years and gained his trust, haven't you ever tried to find an opportunity to kill him?" Leon asked again in confusion.

He didn't want to offend the other party, but when it came to the chance of assassination, it was obvious that the intimate relationship between the beds was the one with the greatest chance of surprise.

"Of course I haven't tried it, because countless slaves have already learned bloody lessons with their lives."

Sadness flashed in Corvis's eyes, and he explained to the three people in front of him: "How long do you think it would take to completely eliminate the consciousness of an ordinary person using ordinary means such as swords, bows and crossbows?

And how long will it take for the idea of ​​activating the Blood Oath to flash through the minds of the mages?

Swords and crossbows, poisons and incense, assassinations and tricks are all common among the intrigues among Artias mages.

And this method, which is fatal to ordinary people, is still difficult to break through the defense methods that the mages put in place day and night. It is even more ridiculous to kill Pirieno instantly before he can react and activate the 'Blood Oath'. "

Leon frowned and grasped the key point of his words: "A defense method that increases day and night? Does he even have magic to protect his body while sleeping?"

"What? Are you planning to assassinate him while he is resting?"

Corvis sighed helplessly, and then asked: "Although I don't have high hopes for you, is it really not you who destroyed the warning magic in the courtyard?"

Leon had no choice but to clarify again, and without hesitation he sold the suspicious poet who guided him to the secret passage: "Didn't I tell you before, if we really want to pursue it, the bard who was invited to the wedding banquet is the one who More suspicious.

Elena also said that the person she saw during this period was Gaoliard who had been lying on the wall telling stories to coax her. "

The blond boy mentioned that the magic in that place had been tampered with. Since it was not him, Leon could not think of anyone else besides Goliad.

The blond boy shook his head: "I searched carefully before I came here, and the Philcon family did not invite the poet named Gaoliard to the banquet at all.

As for the castle servants who manage reception and accommodation, they have not seen any bards wearing red trousers and two mustaches during this time. "

Leon raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Well, that guy really sneaked in just like me and the others.

He wondered how someone could invite such a wicked poet to a banquet at his son's wedding.

No wonder Gailiad knew about the hidden plank roads and cracks in the city wall outside. Maybe that was the route he took to get in.

"To be honest, do you care so much about the person who destroyed your so-called warning magic? Do you think he is more likely to help you kill Pirieno?" Leon somewhat understood why the other party was obsessed with this.

"Of course, since one has such profound magical attainments, it is impossible not to use powerful attack spells. As long as he seizes the opportunity of Pirieno's lax defense, such a spellcaster will definitely have a way to kill him instantly." Corvis He nodded and admitted that he had been looking forward to getting strong help from the outside world for many years.

"You just said that a wizard like Pilieno is protected by magic even when sleeping, so what is the chance of slacking off that you are referring to?" Azerien listened silently, and suddenly asked with a sense of something bad.

The blond boy smiled inexplicably, then turned to look at the son of the noble who looked uneasy.

"Just as you think"

"For Pilieno, only at a certain time will he temporarily remove some of his defensive spells. Otherwise, how can he enjoy the pleasure of touch?"

Azerien looked at Corvis's strange eyes, and suddenly his whole body tensed up in fear, and shrank back in the chair behind him.
