Lucien didn't expect that Sturk had been in turmoil in the past two months, which hindered his plan to go to the Kingdom of Holm again, but since he came to this world, he has been encountering various difficulties on the road of his life, and he has come to this day with difficulty by never flinching and never giving up, and there is only one strait away from the Magic Council.
Compared to the dangers that had been encountered before, this obstacle was really nothing.
So, Lucien calmly asked, "Is he really a traitor and what is his name?"
There are some things that you have to ask clearly, and you don't want to be used as a gunman by Stulk's contacts, and you don't want to end up being an outcast.
"The Ferryman's" tone was solemn: "His name is Harrison Brown, a knight, and two weeks ago Sturker's newspaper published a report of his acceptance of the medal for the reason that he had defended the glory of the Lord in darkness and purified nearly fifty lost lambs."
If you doubt what I'm saying, look for that issue of the newspaper in the City Library, which even has a speech he gave to the City Council at the time of his consecration, showing no remorse for the more than thirty magical apprentices who died as a result of him.
You must know that most of these apprentices are only twelve or thirteen years old, have only received basic training in arcane theory, and have not yet entered a meditative state. ” "I'll check."
Lucien nodded, "But I have one more question. ” The "ferryman" looked at Lucian's slightly dull face: "What" "From what I've seen and heard from my travels and previous experience, the Church has always secretly rewarded such betrayers with a secret reward to keep them safe from reprisals, or to let them join the Night's Watch directly.
Basically, I have not heard of the knightly medal being awarded in a fair manner.
Perhaps, it's a trap" Lucien doesn't joke with his life.
It is not surprising that the Ferryman could see this to Lucien, as mages like them, who had grown up in the oppression and hunting of the Church, though lacking in arcane theory, were more sensitive and adaptable than those who had been educated in the security of the Council: "Yes, we also think it may be a trap for the Night's Watch.
But we must kill him to deter the people inside. ” "Without you, we would have tried to assassinate.
This is given to you now in order to pass the test and go to Alinge as soon as possible.
If you refuse, that's okay, leave me a contact information, and I'll let you know when there are other things that can prove your identity in the future.
He paused, "If you accept, ask if necessary, and we'll help you distract the night watch."
But we won't tell you how to lead away, after all, you haven't proven yourself yet. ” "As long as you succeed, we will welcome new companions with the utmost enthusiasm."
He silently added in his heart, if you fail, you can't implicate us.
"What is Harrison Brown's bloodline, what is the power of his bloodline, what are the extraordinary weapons or items, and what are the rules of his activities, I think you should have gathered this information."
Lucien smiled and asked, as a full-fledged magician, even if he fights face-to-face, he is very sure of killing knights of the same level, let alone secretly attacking, the main problem is in other aspects, "Through this information, I can be sure that I can kill Harrison Brown in the protection of the Night's Watch and get rid of tracking." ” The "Ferryman" was satisfied with the conversation with such a clever magician, and said bluntly: "Brown's bloodline power is regeneration, a good bloodline from trolls, powerful and fast, as long as the head is not cut off, it will regenerate infinitely before the energy of the body is consumed."
Of course, since it was a troll bloodline, acid and fire were able to destroy this regeneration of him, causing him to truly die. ” "Originally, he had a first-level transcendent weapon given by the council, the withered short spear, which added toxin damage, and later the church rewarded him with a second-level transcendent item, the Witcher's Shield, which in addition to its own defense equivalent to a second-level knight, can also absorb a certain degree of elemental damage.
As for whether there are other other-extraordinary items, we don't know. ” "The pattern of his activities is" The "ferryman" told Lucien all the information he had gathered about Brown, and Lucien listened quietly and analyzed the possible opportunities.
Brown did not accept visits from anyone other than the clergy, aristocrats, and prominent high society personnel of Stewark City; rarely goes out; He likes oil painting and wax art; It is said that he will go to the holy city of Reims in five months to settle in Lucien's mind, and it is not until the "ferryman" finishes speaking that Lucien asks with confirmation: "The morning after tomorrow, Brown will go to attend the opening ceremony of the Sogg Wax Museum" "Yes, the wax artist promised Brown to make a lifelike wax figure for him and place it in the wax museum before he left for Reims, in recognition of his contribution to the fight against darkness.
Therefore, he will definitely go to this opening ceremony.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the night watchman made him come out often to move.
The ferryman replied and repeated, "When the time comes, if we need to divert the night watch, please let us know in advance." ” "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Lucien accepted the matter with a dull expression.
After agreeing on a contact location and a sign with the ferryman, Lucien sails into the darkness in a small boat, using both magic and knightly means to escape from his tracking.
In the middle of the night the next day, Lucien, dressed in a black hooded robe, appeared at a stone arch bridge, one of the two bridges leading to the island where the "Thorn Wax Museum" is located, and it was the best option to get from Brown's villa to the island.
Walking on another bridge will take you around in a big circle.
In addition, as far as Lucien knows, since the wax artist is very popular in Stulk, many nobles and big businessmen will come to participate in the ceremony tomorrow, and their private boats will definitely crowd the water near the wax museum, so even if Sog comes through the canal by boat, he will disembark on the water on this side, and then go to the wax museum through the stone arch bridge.
It was the second half of the night, the sky was full of stars, the water was shining, and everything was silent.
Lucien stood on the edge of the bridge, his hands pressed to the bridge deck, and his mouth opened to let out a silent scream.
Ripples were transmitted from Lucian's hand into the stone arch bridge, and then fed back, and then adjusted and fed back, and gradually, the stone bridge began to shake visibly, and became more and more violent, and the swing became larger and larger.
"The Professor's Resonant Hand" Seeing that the amplitude of the stone bridge was about to reach its limit and collapse at any time, Lucien suddenly stopped, and watched it gradually calm down, unchanged from before.
But in fact, the internal structure of the stone bridge has been quite damaged, and although it is not yet possible to collapse, it is enough to produce the small changes that Lucien hoped for when the load bearing reaches a certain level.
The black heraldic boats stopped next to the street, and Harrison Brown walked down with his entourage, and he looked at the extraordinary boats docked opposite, and couldn't help but yearn for when he would have the same status as them After watching quietly for a few minutes, Brown, surrounded by his entourage, walked towards the stone arch bridge a hundred meters away, where people came and went, and there was nothing unusual about it.
As he walked, Brown looked around, knowing that several powerful Night's Watch were nearby to protect and spy on him, but he knew that his betrayal had angered the Magical Council, and he couldn't afford to be cautious.
"But I can't disobey the church's requirements, and I have to go out and walk around once in a while.
Hopefully these months will be safe and sound, and when I get to Reims, I will be able to enjoy life with complete peace of mind. ” In this cautious mind, Brown and his retinue stepped onto the stone arch bridge.
At this time, on a pointed boat docked not far from the bridge, Lucien, who was in black suit, nodded to a carriage on the shore: "Remember to send this cart of steel to the Utaka Trading House."
It's your pay. ” The young man driving the carriage smiled innocently: "Please rest assured, sir. ” The carriage moved slowly, and Lucien motioned for the boatman to row the boat, as if preparing to cross under the stone arch bridge.
The carriage with heavy steel drove up the stone arch bridge not far away, and Brown had just reached the middle of the bridge.
Harrison Brown walked slowly, constantly watching from side to side, but the pedestrians who came and went were so ordinary, and occasionally there were those who seemed to be not weak, and they were also the retinue of those nobles.
"They probably wouldn't have jumped in knowing it was a trap, especially since it's only been two weeks, and it's the most vigilant and vigilant time.
Well, maybe someone from the Magic Council will do it on my way to Reims, which is very likely" Brown was more comfortable with his current situation, but worried about the journey in five months.

Just as Brown's thoughts were a little wandering, he suddenly felt a wave-like vibration under his feet, as if the stone arch bridge was about to collapse.
"Someone attacked" was Brown's knee-jerk reaction, and the milky white light on his body suddenly lit up, covering him with snow-white feathers.
Level 3 Divine Technique "Angel Feather" At the same time, he drew a short spear with a pointed green tip in his right hand, and took a shield from his attendant in his left hand to block it.
He did all this so quickly, which fully reflects his rich combat experience.
But the wave-like tremors gradually subsided, and the stone bridge soon regained its calm.
"It's the stone bridge that has fallen into disrepair," thought Harrison Brown, stunned, and looked around to see several sharp boats passing by, one of which was at the bow of a handsome young man with his hands behind his back, dressed in a black suit, and smiling at his "inexplicable" actions on the bridge.
Then the boat went under the stone arch bridge.
"When the stone bridge shook just now, there were nearly ten people who reacted completely differently from ordinary people, excluding a few noble knights, there were about five night watchmen, namely the adventurer who walked on Brown's right, the richly dressed merchant who walked off the bridge, the couple who followed Brown, and the boatman on the boat behind me."
"In addition to the withering spear and the witcher's shield, Brown also has a third-level magic item" Lucien looked at the water ahead of him and followed the Sharp Boat as he disappeared across the canal.
From the beginning, Lucien didn't intend to actually bring down the stone bridge, because it was dangerous to do it without even the night watchmen being roughly determined, and a surprise attack that caused chaos by breaking down the stone bridge might not have a good effect.
This is just a temptation.
