Lucian didn't expect that in the past two months, Sturk has been in turmoil, which has 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. Compared to the dangers encountered before, the obstacles this time were really nothing.
So, Lucian asked calmly: "Is he really a traitor? What's your name?"
There are some things that must be asked, and I don't want to be used as a gunman by Sturk's liaison, nor do I want to end up being an outcast.
The "Ferryman" said in a stern tone: "His name is Harrison Brown, an official knight, and two weeks ago the "Sturk Daily" published a report of his acceptance of the medal on the grounds that 'he defended the glory of the Lord in darkness and purified nearly fifty lost lambs.' If you doubt what I said, you can go to the city library and look at that issue of the newspaper, which even contained a speech he gave to the city council when he was awarded the honor, showing no remorse for the more than thirty magic apprentices who died because of him. You must know that most of these apprentices are only twelve or thirteen years old, and have only received basic training in arcane theory, and have not yet entered a meditative state."
"I'll check it out." Lucian nodded, "But I have one more question."
"Ferryman" looked at Lucian's slightly dull face: "What?"
"From my travels and previous experience, the Church has always secretly rewarded such betrayers to keep them safe from retaliation, or to let them join the Night Watch squad directly. Basically, I have never heard of a knightly medal being awarded openly. Perhaps, this is a trap?" Lucian doesn't joke with his life.
The Ferrymen were not surprised that Lucian could see this, and magicians like them, who had grown up in the suppression and hunting of the Church, although they would have great shortcomings in arcane theory, were definitely better than those educated in the safety of the council: "Yes, we also think this may be a trap for the Night's Watch. But we must kill him to deter the guys inside who are ready to move."
"Without you, we would have tried to assassinate him. I am giving this to you now so that you can pass the test and go to Alinge as soon as possible. If you refuse, it doesn't matter, leave me a contact information, and I will let you know if there are any other things that can prove your identity in the future." He paused and said, "If you accept, you can ask if necessary, and we will help you divert the attention of the night watch. But I won't tell you how we lure you away, after all, you haven't proven your identity 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 won't be implicated in us.
"What is Harrison Brown's bloodline power? What are some transcendent weapons or items? What are the rules of activities? I think you should have gathered this information." Lucian asked with a smile, as an official magician, even if you fight face-to-face, you are very sure to kill knights of the same level, let alone secretly attack and kill, the main problem lies in other aspects, "Through this information, I can determine whether I am sure to kill Harrison Brown and get rid of the tracking in the Night's Watch protection."
"Ferryman" was very satisfied with talking to such a smart magician, and said bluntly: "Brown's bloodline power is 'regeneration', a good bloodline from trolls, strong and fast, as long as the head is not cut off, it will regenerate infinitely before consuming the body's energy. Of course, since it is a troll bloodline, acid and fire can destroy this regeneration of him and make him truly die."
"Originally, he had a first-level transcendent weapon given by the council, the withering spear, which added toxin damage, and later the church rewarded him with a second-level transcendent item - the Witcher's Shield, which not only corresponds to the defense of a second-level knight itself, but also absorbs a certain amount of elemental damage. As for whether there are other extraordinary items, we don't know."
"His activity pattern is ......"
The "Ferryman" told Lucian all the information he had collected about Brown, and Lucian listened quietly and analyzed possible opportunities.
Except for the clergy, aristocrats, and prestigious high society members of the city of Sturk, Brown did not accept visits from anyone else; rarely go out; likes oil painting and wax art; It is said that in five months he will go to the holy city of Reims to settle down...... The information echoed in Lucian's mind, and it wasn't until the "Ferryman" finished speaking that Lucian asked confirmingly: "The morning after tomorrow, Brown will go to attend the opening ceremony of the Sog Wax Museum?"
"Yes, Sog the wax artist promised Brown to make a lifelike wax figure for him and display it in the wax museum before he left for Lance, in recognition of his contribution to the fight against darkness. Therefore, he will definitely attend this opening ceremony. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the night watchman asked him to come out often to move around." After the ferryman answered, he repeated, "At that time, if we need to lure the night watchman away, please let us know in advance."
"Okay, I'll try it." Lucian accepted the matter with a dull expression.
After agreeing on a contact location and mark with the ferryman, Lucian took a small boat through the darkness and used magic and knighthood to escape the tracking.
…………
In the middle of the night the next day, Lucian, dressed in a black hooded robe, appeared by a stone arch bridge, one of the two bridges leading to the island where the "Sog Wax Museum" is located, and it was the best choice from the villa where Brown lived to the island. Walking on another bridge will go in a big circle.
In addition, as far as Lucian knows, because Sog, a wax artist, is very popular in Sturk, many nobles and big businessmen will come to participate in the ceremony tomorrow, and their private pointed boats will definitely crowd the water near the wax museum where they can dock, so even if Sog takes a sharp boat through the canal, he will get off the boat on this side of the water and then go to the wax museum through the stone arch bridge.
At this time, it was the second half of the night, the sky was starry, the water reflected the waves, and the surroundings were quiet.
Lucian stood by the bridge, pressed his hands on the bridge deck, and opened his mouth to let out a silent scream.
One after another, ripples were uploaded from Lucian's hand to the stone arch bridge, and then fed back, and then adjusted and feedback, gradually, the stone bridge began to shake obviously, 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, Lucian suddenly stopped and watched as it gradually calmed down, unchanged from before.
But in fact, the internal structure of this stone bridge has already suffered a lot of damage, although it is not yet possible to collapse, but it is enough to produce a small change that Lucian hopes for when the load bears to a certain extent.
…………
The black sharp boat with the emblem engraved on it stopped next to the street, Harrison Brown walked down with his entourage, he looked at the magnificent sharp boats docked opposite, and couldn't help but show his longing on his face, when will he 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 without any abnormalities.
As he walked, Brown looked around, although he knew that there were several powerful night's watchmen nearby to protect and monitor him, but he knew even more that his betrayal had angered the Magic Council, and he couldn't be careless.
"But I can't ignore the church's requirements, so I have to go out and walk around occasionally. I hope everything will be safe in the next few months, and when I arrive in Reims, I can completely rest assured and enjoy life."
In this cautious and careful, Brown and his entourage stepped onto the stone arch bridge.
At this time, on a sharp boat docked not far from the bridge, Lucian, who was dressed in black, nodded to a carriage on the shore: "Remember to send this cart of steel to the Utaka Trading Company. This is your reward."
The young man driving the carriage showed a simple smile: "Please don't worry, sir."
The carriage slowly moved, and Lucian also motioned for the boatman to row the pointed boat, as if preparing to pass under the stone arch bridge.
The carriage with heavy steel drove up the stone arch bridge not far away, and Brown had just walked to the center of the bridge.
Harrison Brown walked slowly, looking left and right, but the pedestrians coming and going were so ordinary, and occasionally there were those who looked not weak, and they were also the entourage of those nobles.
"They probably didn't know it was a trap and jumped in, right? Especially since it's only been two weeks, and it's the time when I'm most vigilant and vigilant. Uh, maybe the people of the Magic Council will do it on my way to the holy city of Lance, that's very possible!" Brown was more at ease about the current situation, but he was worried about the journey in five months.
Just when Brown's thoughts were racing a little, he suddenly felt a wave-like vibration coming from under his feet, like a stone arch bridge about to collapse.
"Someone attacked!" This was Brown's subconscious reaction, so the milky white light on his body suddenly lit up, and snow-white feathers covered him.
Level 3 divine technique "Angel Feather"!
At the same time, he pulled out a pointed green short spear in his right hand, and took the shield from his entourage with his left hand and blocked it in front of him.
He did all this so quickly, which fully reflected his rich combat experience.
But the wave-like vibration gradually subsided, and Shiqiao quickly regained his calm.
"Is the stone bridge in disrepair?" Harrison Brown thought in astonishment, looked around, and saw several pointed boats passing by, one of which stood a handsome young man with his hands behind his back at the bow of one of them, wearing a black formal suit, smiling at his "inexplicable" behavior on the bridge.
Then the pointed boat passed under the stone arch bridge.
…………
"When the stone bridge shook just now, the reactions of nearly ten people were completely different from ordinary people, excluding a few noble knights, about five night watchmen, namely the adventurer on Brown's right, the richly dressed merchant who walked down the bridge, the couple behind Brown, and the boatman on the pointed boat behind me."
"In addition to the Spear of Withering and the Witcher's Shield, Brown also has a third-level magic item......"
Lucian looked at the water in front of him and followed the sharp boat to disappear at the intersection of the canal.
From the beginning, Lucian had no intention of actually bringing down the stone bridge, because it was dangerous to do it directly without even having a rough idea of the night watchman, and a raid that broke the stone bridge and caused chaos might not have a good effect.
This is just a temptation.
