Chapter 119 Seeking Death

When Adela and Nasura came to the camp, they were about to torture a priest again. But I heard several priests say in jealous tones: "Why is this guy Paladin so favored by the archbishop? Isn't he just from a noble family? His whole family was wiped out, and he only has a surname left." "Hey. , don’t say that. Although this guy is in the limelight these days, it’s just a temporary prestige. Although the archbishop took him to the banquet in the castle and stayed there overnight, it’s just a temporary glory." He was about to be prepared. Adela and Nasura were immediately stunned when they heard this. Then they looked at each other and smiled, suddenly melting into the shadows, and there was no longer any proof that the two of them existed.

Not long after, the two figures appeared in front of the huge gate of the fortress. Adela glanced at the ten iron gates suspended from the top of the gate, and then glanced at a dozen guards squatting at the door, drinking wine around the campfire and chatting happily. Just when he was about to sneak in with Nasura behind him, Nasura's feet were just about to step into the city gate inside, at this moment around the corner! His eyes suddenly widened, he quickly grabbed Adela, looked at her who turned around in confusion, and whispered solemnly: "I just felt it, the elemental envelope."

"What is that?" Adela immediately lowered her body and asked. He looked at Na Xiura's solemn expression and knew that he would not make a mistake. But I heard Na Xiura raise his head slightly and tap his chin on the open space of the city gate in front of him. Adela turned her head and glanced doubtfully, and was about to ask Nasura what was going on with her doubts. Nasura lowered his voice more solemnly and said: "Look carefully at the open space in front of the city gate. Stare at a grain of sand and pebbles on the ground. Then gently walk back and forth. Don't relax and look." Adela immediately arched her body and stared at the grains of sand on the ground moving back and forth according to Seurat's words. However, after just two steps, her originally doubtful eyes were immediately filled with disbelief!

"Oh my god, is this magic?" Adela looked at everything in front of her and whispered in surprise. Because in front of the city gate that should have only air, as Adela moved, she actually saw instability in the middle! Just like twisted refraction, the wooden strips inserted into the water do not twist in a straight line between the water and the outside. But this is air, such an almost invisible envelope, after all. . Just when Adela was shocked and filled with doubts, Nasura said unwillingly: "This is the elemental covering magic. It does no harm to people, just as harmless as sight. But it is different from the naked eye, just like a If a huge spider web with the same magic ring, that is, a spell caster, touches the field of this magic, it will be sensed by the mage who casts this magic."

"You mean..." Adela was a little frightened, but she saw Seura nodding seriously: "Yes, this elemental shroud covers the entire fortress, there must be a knowledgeable magician Sitting in the fortress, guarding the fortress with elemental shrouds, and monitoring all mages with the four elements! To put it simply, I can't go in! Otherwise, I will be discovered by this senior immediately."

Adela swallowed deeply, turned to look at Nasura playing with the dagger in his hand, and said helplessly: "In other words, you want me to go in alone to find this Father Paladin?" "No way. , I’ll leave this to you first. You are an assassin, as long as you are not discovered by Paladin. And the magic of elemental shroud has no effect on non-spellcasters who do not have the blessing of the four elements." Adela had to turn over He rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, I'll go. I'll come back and tell you if I know any news."

After saying that, the figure blurred for a while, and only a dark shadow flashed faintly, and then he entered the fortress with Seura's concerned whisper of 'be careful'. But Nasura, who looked at Adela disappearing on the streets of the fortress, felt an uncomfortable feeling in the fortress. That feeling came not from the fortress, but from something or someone in the fortress. It was like the weird cold feeling that countless people were crawling on the ground screaming sadly, but unable to stand up. This feeling gave Nasura only worry for Adela. But considering that she was an assassin with the title of hound in the Hashasin Alliance, she could be considered a master, and even twenty ordinary soldiers would be killed. There's no need to worry.

At this time, Adela, who was running quickly through the shadows between the building and the city wall, finally got through a window and entered the castle after a long half hour. I poked my head out slightly to take a look, and saw some guards and maids walking ambiguously into the kitchen to eat midnight snacks. Adela knew it was still early. I plan to find some innocent people to find out the location of Father Paladin. Then he acted quickly.

It went smoother than expected. After Adela knocked out the three threatened maids with the force of thunder, Adela finally knew the whereabouts of Father Paladin and immediately left! Seeing that the room in the information was right in front of him, Paladin, who was reading a book inside, was suddenly startled. His hearing, which had been strengthened many times, could vaguely hear a series of footsteps from far to near outside the room! It's so subtle that it can't help but give people a sense of lurking! Paladin decisively turned off the light, jumped onto the bed, covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes. His hands hidden under the quilt immediately opened up, and he caught two golden light magic arrows in his hands, waiting for this mysterious person who might be looking for him.

Click, click, click. With a series of numbing but very weak clicks, the wooden door slowly opened, and Adela, who made no sound of footsteps, walked in with a hunched body and a dagger in hand. At first glance, Adela saw Paladin, shrouded in shadow and sleeping under a quilt. However, it is precisely because of the shadow that Paladin's face cannot be seen clearly.

Adela slowly moved to his bed, although she was a little worried that this Paladin was not a fuel-efficient lamp. But until now, she could still feel through the breathing technique that Paladin's breathing and heartbeat were normal and regular. There was absolutely no feeling of nervousness, fear or excitement. Adela didn't believe he was awake, he could only be really asleep. Because he could calmly face the person who walked into his room with a dagger without any emotional fluctuations. This is not called a human at all, it should be called an undead.

"Yeah!" Adela took a step back slightly, and her eyes suddenly lit up, as if there was boundless sea water in front of her eyes. It was an ocean woven with dense golden light! Adela's expression changed! The original idea of ​​waking up Paladin and interrogating him suddenly disappeared! Isn't this illusion the same evil man who escaped in Fenrir? In other words, this Paladin was completely the culprit who framed O'Neil and killed the Flamel family! He has no intention of holding back anymore, whether it's for Nasura's injustice or this weird and terrifying illusion, this Paladin will die!

But at this moment, Adela was about to cut off the head of Paladin, who was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed while holding the blood splattered all over his body. Paladin's eyes, which were originally very peaceful and closed, suddenly opened! Dazzling golden light burst out from the eye sockets!
