Mage's Secret

Traphael was not the only one approaching the place where the three stood.The three of them standing together are the focus of the audience's attention.Those nobles who wanted to get close to the paladin at the beginning, just to intimidate the nobles with his powerful aura, saw that he could talk to Elijah calmly and with a gentle and polite appearance, their thoughts of retreating a little bit were a little bit around the corner.

Some people thought about it for a while and walked towards the three of them, but most of them still chose to wait and see.

Their actions were naturally noticed by the paladins. DeWitt took his eyes away from Murphy, and calmly looked at those people, including Traphael, who were trying to approach him, and then frowned. Wrinkled carefully.

In order to distinguish it from ordinary knights, all knights directly belonging to the temple can be called paladins. There are not many "Holy Knights". Among these knights, there are twelve most powerful knights. Although they were not awarded higher-level titles by the bishop, their names resounded throughout the entire continent. All the paladins are headed by these 12 people.

Among the 12 people, only DeWitt was adopted by the temple since he was a child and grew up bathed in divine grace.Therefore, he is the one with the purest mind and the strongest belief among the 12 people, but he is also the one who is the most impatient with these worldly communication.Rather than studying and participating in human intrigues, he is more willing to use a sharp sword to show God's will to evil people.Instead of dealing with various nobles, he would rather pray in the temple to seek peace of soul after killing.

Even so, he still understands the basic etiquette, which is why he accepted the invitation of the city lord Elijah to participate in the parade, and it is also why he is standing here patiently with Elijah. Reasons for meaningful conversation.

However, he was able to allocate some energy and patience to Elijah, who was the city lord, but it didn't mean that he was also willing to socialize with other people that was of no benefit to him.

So before the others had time to approach him, he bowed slightly to the city lord to apologize, and then strode away.

Elijah was not angry at the paladin's actions. He kept a reserved and decent smile, looked around at the people who were watching him, and then patted Murphy on his arm. The soft and delicate arms pulled him into the dance floor.

But for the other nobles, especially those who were walking towards the three of them, the paladin's gesture of rejection was a bit subtle.Those who were still walking but had lost their target turned around and walked towards the people nearby to hide their embarrassment. Only Harold, who was disguised as Traphael, stood abruptly on the spot, holding a wine glass, A look of bewilderment and loss.

But only Traphael knows that under his disguise, his real mood is the opposite of this funny appearance.Seeing the three separate, his clenched heart relaxed a little.Murphy was like a hand holding his nerves, and every move made him feel sharp tension.

At this time, Traphael was standing very close to the dance floor in the center of the hall.He simply didn't go back to the previous corner, but stood on the wall next to the dance floor with the wine glass in his hand, like those people who were bewitched by the devil tonight, staring intently at the dancers dancing on the dance floor That beautiful figure.

Murphy clung to the arm of the city lord and spun through the crowd with dance steps.The bright red skirt blooms with the dance steps, like the flowers blooming on the other side of the border of hell. Wherever the devil goes, it eclipses all other ladies, so beautiful that it is so beautiful that it almost burns.

After the song was over, someone couldn't help but walked up to Murphy and the city lord to ask for an exchange of partners.That man was full of gentlemanly demeanor, but the light in his eyes was intense * that couldn't be concealed.

The city lord looked worried, but before he had time to say anything, Murphy put down the hand on his shoulder, turned around and put his hand into the outstretched palm of the man with a smile.

So the gentleman embraced Murphy's soft waist with a smile on his face under the envious eyes of others, and started a new round of dancing.But the gentleman didn't feel complacent for long. Halfway through the music, Murphy left him just like he had left the city lord before, and fell into the arms of others.

Murphy looked like he was enjoying it, and he didn't do anything that might cause danger, except that it was too ostentatious-but at least it was within the acceptable range.

Traphael briefly looked away from him and looked at another luminous body in the field.

The paladin stands on the other side of the dance floor, near the wall.He folded his hands in front of his chest, his back stood straight, his brows and eyes were still sharp, but he didn't fix his eyes on a certain place.He scanned the audience slowly, obviously not doing anything special, but Traphael could feel that he must be irritable now.

Because Trafael feels the same way now.

After only looking at the paladin once, Traphael turned his gaze back to the demon.

Dance music was played one after another, and the drinks on the table were constantly being consumed.Amidst the intermingling of toasts, the corrupt atmosphere that had been permeating the hall gradually rose, almost reaching its peak.DeWitt seemed finally unable to bear the turbid worldly atmosphere, and walked out of the hall.

Noticing the movement of the paladin, Traphael's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to see Murphy's reaction.

However, the demon seemed to not care about that person at all, still enjoying the pursuit of the crowd, lingering in the crowd, and dancing more and more skillfully.

The uneasiness in the mage's heart did not decrease at all, and he walked in the direction of the demon.He walked faster and faster, with agility that did not match his sickly appearance.At this time, no one paid attention to him at all, and people didn't even bother to give him the mocking eyes at the beginning.

But Murphy was faster than him.At this time, the musicians played a cheerful dance music, and Murphy spun cheerfully on the rhythm, his loose long hair drew a passionate track in the air, and he jumped and moved quickly.No matter how Traphael approached Murphy, the distance between them didn't seem to decrease at all.

Finally, after Murphy turned around, under the cover of the crowd, he completely disappeared from Traphael's sight, leaving only a series of vague and crisp laughter to tear Traphael hard Nerves tensed all night.

Traphael stopped and looked around at the surrounding crowd, then gave up his plan to find Murphy in the crowd, turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the hall.Murphy's intentions were already obvious. Since his target was DeWitt, it would be better to go to the paladin and sit by the side of the paladin if he continued to search for a needle in a haystack.

He just hoped now that he could find Murphy before he did it.

The moment you step out the door, it's like entering another world.The cold air rushed towards his face, Traphael took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the turbid air accumulated in his chest.

Outside the hall is the garden, which is a large and amazing garden that wraps the entire city lord's mansion in it.At the entrance of the hall is a road extending to both sides, and the trees standing on the side of the road block the view from a distance.

In the huge garden, there are street lamps standing every ten or so meters. The dim halo of light casts down from the street lamps, lighting up a small space.Not very bright, but enough to illuminate the road.But compared to the hall behind, it was really much darker, lighting up the shadows of trees on both sides of the street lamps, which made people feel uneasy for no reason.

Traphael turned his head and looked to both sides, but he couldn't find any figures of paladins or demons, only the guards patrolling back and forth along the road.

Traphael quickly walked up to the guard and asked, "Did you see Lord Paladin come out from here?"

The guard who was intercepted looked at Traphael, who was dressed as a nouveau riche, and immediately understood his identity. He bowed and said, "Yes, my lord, that lord came out of the hall not long ago. headed in that direction."

Knowing the whereabouts of the paladin, Traphael immediately hurried to the direction pointed by the guards. It was a small forest, and the shadow of the trees covered the figure of the paladin.

Fortunately, the paladin didn't go deep into the woods, Traphael only took a few steps into the woods, and saw him.

With his back to the mage, the paladin stood quietly with his hands behind his back. The aura he exuded was so weak that he almost merged with nature.If it weren't for the silver dress on his body that was still conspicuous in the dark, Traphael would never have spotted him at first sight.

This place is already some distance away from the hall, and only sporadic sounds of those sluggish music can drift here.The paladin seemed to have noticed Traphael, he moved his shoulders, and slowly turned around.

Suddenly, a thought popped up in the mage's mind - if the devil really fought with the paladin at this time, who would have a better chance of winning?The mage walked and thought, he has no intuitive impression of the strength of the two of them now.Since the paladin is famous in the mainland with his strength, the mage believes that he must not be in vain.As for the devil, from the fact that he was conceited when he mentioned the average combat power of his family, and that he was in a family with a small population according to him, this family can still let him go to the Ozevina Continent alone to find relatives. Look, his strength is definitely not weak.

The idea of ​​this comparison only spun in the mage's mind once before being emptied by him - he would rather not get a chance to verify his doubts, at least not now.

It's a pity that Traphael's luck seems to be really bad tonight. Just when he was about to say hello to the paladin, the branches of the tree next to the paladin suddenly swayed, and a figure jumped down from the canopy , with a strong dark breath, attacked the paladin.

After waiting all night, the devil finally made his move.
