Chapter 112 Owen's Accident

On the day he left Sota City, Julian ran into the mage at the gate of the city who was looking for his companions to explore the ruins together. He stood at the gate of the city with a distraught expression, as if he had lost his soul.

When Julian passed him by, he heard something muttering in his mouth: no more, no more...

Then, the whole person seemed to be suddenly sucked out of all energy, and fell to the ground all at once.

Julian quickly had someone help him to the side of the road, and the pedestrians around him were pointing at him, as if he had been like this for a while.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Julian looked at the man, his face was pale, and his clothes were worn out like a magician.

He looked at Julian with blank eyes, and suddenly there was a burst of light in his eyes. He held Julian's hand tightly: "The ruins..."

Julian didn't understand what he was going to say, so he could only comfort him: "Don't talk, you must have a good body if you want to explore the ruins, right? You need to take care of your body first."

The man shook his head, a blush suddenly appeared on his cheeks.

Julian's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. He quickly lifted up the man's sleeve, and found that the wrist under the sleeve was terribly thin, with blue and white blood vessels protruding slightly, which felt hard to the touch, as if wrapped around the bone. A layer of skin.

This person seemed to be exhausted, Julian sighed in his heart, and said softly: "You..."

"I know." The man's spirit was obviously better, and he seemed to have woken up from the great loss. He looked at Julian with calm eyes: "Thank you, I know you, at the trade fair that day, I saw is you."

Julian was not surprised. There were countless magicians at the trade fair, and even if they didn't have the chance to get to know each other, they would have an impression of each other and be familiar with each other.

The man suddenly held Julian's hand tightly: "I don't have much time left, although it's a bit presumptuous, but I hope you can promise me one thing."

"What's the matter, tell me." Julian didn't rush to agree.

The man grinned and lowered his voice: "My ancestors were once prominent, but they were defeated. They left behind a note and a key. It was a mechanism opened by an ancient ruin. My father told me before he died. , as long as you find out the secret of the key, you can restore the glory of the family. It's a pity... that ruin is too mysterious, and I haven't been able to find a chance to enter it."

He suddenly lowered his voice, "They thought I didn't know that they had found the ruins, but in fact it was just the periphery of the ruins, and the real ruins were not there at all."

After finishing speaking, he took a few short breaths, and his face became even more rosy: "I give you both the diary and the key, I just hope you will go there and have a look in the future..." After finishing speaking, the blood on his face quickly turned red. His eyes faded away, and his eyes gradually lost their focus: "For generations, our family has always wanted to know what is hidden in the ruins, but unfortunately... I am afraid I will never have the chance to know again, the ruins... the ruins have collapsed..." He smiled and cried With a complicated expression, he then looked at Julian:

"If you have the opportunity to go to that ruins in the future, please come to my grave and tell me. At least let me know that our family's efforts over the years are not in vain..."

His voice gradually fell, getting lower and lower, and finally completely silent.

Julian sighed and took a notebook in his hand.

He didn't know how to comment on this person. The efforts of several generations of the family were just for an illusory hope... If they had focused their energy on improving themselves, perhaps their family would have risen already.

Putting the notebook away, Julian asked someone to cremate the body of the fallen mage, and then put the ashes into an exquisite box, intending to bring them back to the Gray Tower for burial.

At the same time, he also used the experience of this mage to remind himself that only focusing on his own strength is the right way, and counting on those external forces will only be in vain in the end.

Because the incident happened right at the gate of the city, many forces in the city soon received corresponding news.

The ruins have already been explored by many people, and most people have already determined that the mage is just a lunatic who can't revive the family, so they didn't continue to pay attention to this matter.

The journey back to the Gray Tower was very smooth, and even the believer of the Desire Witch Sect did not appear again, and I don't know if he found new fun.

The only thing that made Julian feel a little uneasy was that Owen hadn't contacted him for so long.

When the two parted before, Owen mentioned that after he returned to the holy city, it might not be convenient to use the contact tool. He could contact him later after accepting the training mission, but Julian was worried that it would affect his mission, so he decided not to use it for the time being. bother him.

It has been nearly three months now, and Julian suddenly felt that something was wrong. Based on his understanding of Owen, if the mission took a long time, he would definitely find a way to contact him. None of the letters.

He used the crystal ball to contact Owen several times, but there was no answer. At first he thought that Owen was busy with the task, and they managed to contact him, but it has been so long that something is wrong.

Because of identity issues, Julian has always kept as far away as possible from the people of the church. Now that he has lost the news of Owen, when he wants to find him, he suddenly finds that he has no other way to contact him.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Julian remembered Bishop Roland, whom he had worked with before. In order to dedicate the agricultural tools to the Church of the Holy Light and to help Owen win allies, all matters related to the new agricultural tools were handed over to Bishop Roland. Yes, so to a certain extent, Julian and Bishop Roland are also allies.

He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and wrote a greeting letter to Bishop Roland. In the letter, he asked about Owen's training tasks in a polite but tactful tone.

Half a month later, Julian received a letter from Bishop Roland, which also included a letter from Ivans, which simply stated that Owen disappeared during the training mission.

Julian:! ! !

According to the time agreed with Evans, Julian opened the crystal ball to communicate with him.

Judging from Ivans' background, he is in a forest, and the dim light flickers on and off, bringing a feeling of oppression.

Ivans seemed to be in good condition, but he couldn't hide the tiredness in his eyes.

Julian knew that the training task could only be done by the trainer alone, neither Evans nor Kai could go with him.

"What happened?" Julian asked succinctly.

Ivans took a deep breath to calm himself down as much as possible, and then he could talk about everything he knew as calmly as possible.

Ivans didn't know much about Owen's disappearance, and a large part of it was information from Bishop Roland.

Speaking of which, it was thanks to Owen who formed an alliance with Bishop Roland at the beginning. Although this old fox is usually cunning and cunning, he is still very reliable as an ally. At least he didn't stab someone in the back when everyone else was planning to make trouble. .

It is true that Owen is a young talent of the Church of the Holy Light, but he is also a thorn in the side of many people.

Just like the problems that all forces will have, the resources of the Church of the Holy Light are not for nothing. If you occupy more, others will naturally occupy less. In addition, for the past year or so, Owen has been wandering outside. The Holy City didn't take much part in the struggle among the saints and sons and daughters. In this way, although he successfully avoided the risk of standing in line, it also made him no one to lend a helping hand when he was killed.

There were even some people who coveted Owen's status and wanted to sway his knight order. For a while, many things were in chaos, and Ivans also tried his best to stabilize things.

It's just that no one knows where Owen is currently. According to the imprint he left in the Church of the Holy Light, his life should not be in danger, but he doesn't know why he hasn't been in touch with the people of the church. They suspect that he may be trapped Where, or was caught by someone.

The Church of the Holy Light is powerful, but tenth they also have a lot of power, especially places like the Chaos Land, which happens to be the weak point of the Church's power, and it is quite difficult to find Owen's trace there.

Now the first group of people sent out by the church have reported the information they got, confirming that Owen disappeared while investigating the murder of the pastor, but the murderer has already escaped, and no one knows where Owen is.

After hearing Ivans' introduction, Julian's face became very ugly. There was no hope for the church for the time being. Some people supported the rescue of Owen, while some opposed the large-scale activities there.

Julian didn't intend to wait any longer at all. When the group of church members discussed the results, the grass on Owen's grave would be several meters high. He inquired about Owen's disappearance in detail and confirmed that the last time the other party appeared was behind the city of chaos. , so he packed his things directly, called the Crimson, and hurried towards the chaotic place.

Gavin's diary:

I wasn't surprised that old Harrington was dead, since he was already terminally ill when I came here.

I originally thought that my fake son would be disposed of by those people after his death, and even I was ready for the Jedi to fight back. I didn't expect that some of his subordinates were really loyal, and they even recommended me to be theirs. next leader.

Of course, there are also opposition parties, but when the strength of the loyalists and the opposition is not much different, the Tia faction, whose attitude has always been very ambiguous, became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel's camel.

I was surprised. I always thought that Tia was the one who wanted to kill me. I didn't expect that she would support me at the critical moment. But I found out later that she was calling for another attention.

After sweeping away the opposition, Tia showed me that I was not old Harrington's son, but that she had picked it up at the bottom of the hill.

If my identity is exposed, the Loyalists will definitely attack me, so if I want to continue to hold this position, I can only rely on her.

Such a result did not surprise me. I have long seen that this woman has ambitions. She wants to use me, and I happen to want to use her very much.

Originally, I planned to pretend to be false, but I didn't expect that she would actually want to climb into my bed.

I:? ? ?

I have no interest in beauty, so I naturally refused her, but I didn't expect that she wanted to rape me!

Are you kidding me?

Don't say I'm not interested in you at all, even if I am, I can't be sorry... I'm sorry... Who can I be sorry for?

A vague name was about to come out of my mouth, and I thought I would remember it right away, but I didn't expect this woman to yell at me because of dissatisfaction with desire, which interrupted my thoughts all of a sudden.

I was very annoyed, I was about to think about it, but she interrupted me, and accidentally broke her neck...
