Throne of Magical Arcana

"Your descendants also died in the incident of worshiping demons this time? Why didn't the church report it?" Katrina asked back with a little surprise.

Vampires are as "evil" as magicians, and the church can completely use him as the culprit of the incident.

Viscount Karenldia shook the red wine glass in his hand: "He is a descendant I left behind when I traveled to the Shahran Empire. He is an outstanding nobleman. Therefore, after being identified as a vampire from the corpse by the church, The nobles put pressure on the church to keep this matter secret, so as not to damage the image of the nobles, anyway, there are 'evil' magicians who take care of everything."

"So that's the case, Mr. Viscount, have you found any clues?" Katrina nodded slightly, dispelling the doubts in her heart, and asked quite expectantly, hoping that the vampire viscount who also found the cemetery could have some clues. More clues.

Viscount Karenldia leaned lazily on the tree trunk, without the appearance of a vampire who pays attention to his image: "Although I can sense the death of a descendant from a long distance, I can't confirm which descendant it is, so wait until I collect the information When we rushed over, most of the valuable clues were long gone, maybe not as much information as you have investigated."

"Have you checked the knight's body? What sealed his bloodline power?" Katrina asked while using magic to open the tomb, but she did not give up the most basic precautions. "Acquaintances" belong to "acquaintances." ", does not mean that the danger has been ruled out.

"I'm really good at identifying all kinds of traces on corpses." Viscount Caronaldia looked like Katrina asked the right person, and then shook his head slightly, "But there must be corpses for me to examine. "

Katrina froze for a moment: "You mean there is no corpse in the tomb?"

The tomb was opened, and the coffin slowly floated out under the power of magic. Then, the black lid was turned aside, revealing the inside of the coffin with only a few pieces of noble clothes and an urn.

"We can think that there is a problem with this corpse. How could the people who organized the devil worship party not have thought of it? According to the information I inquired, although the nobles suppressed this matter, the dual identities of vampires and devil worshipers made them dare not be careless. , so 'fire purification' first, and then the burial." Bathed in the light of the silver moon, Viscount Caronaldia's face appeared slightly uncertain.

Dual identities as a vampire and a devil worshiper? This knight seems to be a descendant of the Viscount Calendia... Katrina thought to herself.

"I have investigated his family and found nothing suspicious. He usually has close contacts with people in the aristocratic circle. Under the protection of the sky knight and the cardinal, it is not realistic for us to investigate one by one. It is better to secretly It is easy to infiltrate the referee to find the investigation records of the church." Viscount Caronaldia gave a wry smile.

This is very similar to my "plan". Katrina slandered: "I can apply to the council for assistance from a high-level magician."

You can ask your father or something to help, they should be powerful vampires at the count and duke level.

"This is my descendant. Before there is any real danger, I, the 'parent', must personally investigate the murderer." Viscount Karenldiya said with a rare seriousness.

Parents... Looking at the young and handsome face of the Viscount Karenldiya and the dazzling and beautiful blond hair, Katrina suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. These long-lived races really make people sigh, like extending their lives and maintaining their youth If there is no accident, they can see their grandson's grandson's grandson's grandson... This is unimaginable for her in her twenties.

"During this time, I started by investigating the magician who died here, looking for people he had contacted, but except for some people who saw him when he was doing some transactions, no one had seen him when he was taking risks and doing things, and he didn't know Who is he acting with, he must be hiding his appearance, I don't know if you have any clues about this?" Viscount Caronaldia asked the purpose of his appearance.

Katrina thought about it, she was alone here, and although Heidi's latest research results were by her side, Calcate City, as the third largest city in the Northern Province, was not as powerful as her or better than her. At least, there are several sky knights and cardinals, and Dora is more confident as a helper, so she focused on the information she got from Yakov and told Viscount Karenldiya.

"Sir Duda, he is also among the nobles that my descendants often come and go with. It seems that he is indeed suspected." His laziness was swept away, and his golden eyes slowly glowed.

The most important thing is that this Sir Duda often appears mysterious, and he is also the object of suspicion of Viscount Caronaldia.

"So far, most of the clues have been broken, but the remaining two or three all point to Sir Duda. Maybe we should find a chance to 'visit' him. Katrina, do you want to go together?" Karen Viscount Aldia looked familiar, and affectionately called Katrina's name.

Katrina smiled lightly and said: "I originally wanted to invite you, Mr. Viscount, but Sir Duda lived in a villa in the noble district during this time, which is very close to the residence of Earl Calcate and the villa of Sky Knight. Soon, we may have to wait for another opportunity."

"He will always go out of the city." Viscount Caronaldia drank a little red wine, waved his right hand, and spread the black cloak behind him like a pair of bat wings. "When the time comes, I will invite you."

He seemed to melt into the darkness, keep climbing, and finally left behind a slight laugh and humorous words: "There are big people behind him, don't we, maybe bigger and more perverted, hehe..."

"More perverted..." Katrina subconsciously repeated, then looked around and patted her chest, "I almost followed him to describe the teacher as perverted, but luckily the teacher is not here..."

Time passed quickly. In the mood of Yakov's worry and expectation, he accepted the title of knight and became Sir Yakov. He got a manor outside the city and a territory on the wasteland. things, leading Anna and other subordinates to the manor.

"Sister Katrina, you really don't want to follow us?" Anna looked teary-eyed, especially reluctant to part with this sister-like friend—her mother passed away when she was young, and she lacked the care of older women.

Yakov coughed, and stammered slightly: "Actually, Katrina, you also have to find a place to live, and you have to spend money to stay in a hotel."

Katrina smiled and shook her head: "In the past few days, I have found a few partners to go on an adventure in the wasteland, so I will act together with them. Thank you very much for your kindness. When this adventure is over, I will go to the manor Visiting you."

At that time, it should be an official farewell.

"Sister Katrina, have you found a new companion? Why didn't I know?" Anna asked suspiciously.

"You've been so busy these days, how do you know?" Katrina and Leilia are both patient and thoughtful, so they shine in the study of material properties.

"Actually, based on your conditions, Sister Katrina, there is no need to take risks to obtain wealth. Many people want to give it to you." Anna half-jokingly helped.

Katrina smiled and rubbed her long golden hair: "Although this is very easy, it is not what I want. Only what I have truly mastered belongs to me, and I can hold it firmly and go further. Far."

She was refusing the hint in Anna's words with the excuse of her arcane research attitude.

"Sister Katrina, your words are so profound..." Anna curled her lips.

You haven't seen the truly profound things... Katrina thought of the Evans field equation, the Lucian equation, and the strange properties of microscopic particles, and was quite emotional for a while. This is the most cutting-edge field of arcane art, but it is estimated that there is no arcanist who really understands them. Even the teacher said that he is often in trouble, and that if anyone is not puzzled by the microscopic field and quantum mechanics and If you are confused, then no one has studied them carefully.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that there was a deep gap between herself and Anna and other friends. She couldn't integrate into their lives, and they couldn't understand everything she studied.

After seeing off Yakov, Anna and others, Katrina packed her things, checked out of the hotel room, and blended into the crowd on the street.

As she walked, Katrina brushed her blond hair, lowered her eyelids to cover her green eyes, and then hurriedly turned around in Calcate City, constantly shuttling through the streets and alleys.

Just as she was trying to pass through an empty alleyway, a muscular, rough-faced, bluish-gray-haired brawny man suddenly turned out in front of him. He laughed and said, "You're very sharp, but it's not enough to get rid of us." !

He sniffled his nose, looking like a pervert: "The scent on your body betrayed you."

At this time, a strong man followed behind Katrina, blocking her way to escape: "Ma'am, are you trying to seduce us by choosing this deserted street?"

"Why are you following me?" Katrina said in a slightly trembling voice.

"Who told you to hang out with them..." The burly man in front suddenly stopped talking halfway, and then said with a smile: "Do it, we still have extra time to get in touch with this beautiful lady."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Katrina raised her head, her green eyes were like the clearest lake in the forest, swaying, swaying, and fascinated.

The strong man behind grabbed Katrina's neck. Suddenly, his cheeks hurt, his teeth flew, and he slammed against the wall.

He looked at his companion who attacked him in amazement: "You?"

A light green light flashed, his eyes also lost their luster, and he stood there in a daze.

Clap, clap, applause sounded, and a blond man in a black shirt and red coat was leaning against the corner at some point, he smiled and said, "Sometimes, magic really saves trouble."

"Mr. Viscount, I unexpectedly met you again." Katrina saluted politely.

"No, I came here specifically to find you, because Sir Duda left the city to go to his own manor." Viscount Calendia walked towards Katrina.

When he passed by the strong man, he suddenly twitched his nose, and said with a little disgust: "Dirty smell, the two of them are savage werewolves, damn it, are they also involved in this matter?"

"Werewolves." Katrina looked at the two strong men with gray hair, and cast her magic screening.

…………

The night was dark.

Yakov suddenly woke up from the nightmare, but found himself exhausted. He looked around in astonishment, and saw Anna and other mercenaries who were also locked in the cell.

"This..." He just remembered that the fight before was not a nightmare, but a real thing, but he couldn't fight against the great knight, so he was knocked out.

"Boss..." Anna cried in a crying voice. She didn't understand why she and others, who had escaped from the dangerous life of mercenaries, were attacked in Jazz Manor, and they were still a group of enemies that could not be resisted! Just thinking about it made her shudder, and she was very frightened.

This, will you die this time?

Yakov took a deep breath, the knight suppressed his panic, and comforted his companions: "Don't worry, since they didn't kill us directly, it means that we are still useful and have a chance."

"Hey, I didn't kill you because the ritual requires living people." A sinister voice sounded outside the cell.

Yakov stared and his pupils shrank: "Sir Duda!"
