Wizard of All Souls

It's late at night now, and the sky is already dark.

Since the moonlight is not bad, the thatched hut is dilapidated, and the light transmission effect is good, so there is no need to light the lamp.

Thick fog poured in from outside the door.

The starlight was immediately blocked.

The surroundings were plunged into darkness, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The seven knights in the hut cursed and lit the oil lamps. With the help of the weak lights, they were finally able to see their surroundings a little bit clearly.

For this sudden thick fog.

Except for being in a bad mood at the beginning and scolding a few words, the rest are only words of praise.

"Haha, I didn't expect it to be foggy."

"The night was too good just now, which is not conducive to lurking. I am a little worried about whether this night attack will fail."

"God help us!"

The words of the seven knights were filled with excitement.

The success rate has gone from 50% to 70%, and now it has risen to 90%.

This is their conservative estimate.

If nothing else, the success rate should be 100%.

"This excellent opportunity must not be missed!"

"There will never be such an opportunity in the future, and you don't want to live in the shadow of the Albert family forever, do you?"

"Where are Evelyn's people? Why haven't they arrived yet, when do we have to wait!"

The timing is getting better and better.

The success rate is getting higher and higher.

But the initiator of the night attack plan, the strongest of the three baron families, the Evelyn family, has not shown up for a long time.

They can't help but have a daydream.

especially--

"Why so quiet?"

"Why did no one respond after shouting several times? The fog can't hinder the sound, right?"

"I'd better go out and have a look... ouch."

As soon as a knight approached the door, he was hit on the shoulder by a huge force and fell to the ground.

A man in a black suit walked in through the door.

"Who are you?"

"Where is the guard? How dare you hit me?"

"Hey, talk back!"

As they talked, they felt something was wrong.

Because that person didn't reply to their words, but walked straight into the hut.

Finally sat on the pier originally intended for Baron Evelyn.

Everyone frowned.

Looking at the guy who suddenly appeared, he wanted to shout loudly.

His throat twitched a few times, but he still couldn't utter the curse words in his heart.

Because the surrounding atmosphere is too weird.

Baron Evelyn who hasn't appeared for a long time.

An inexplicable dense fog.

Suddenly present, a man in a tuxedo.

"Who are you?"

Baron Kiora's drawn sword knocked off the oil lamp on the table.

The oil lamp was knocked over and the hut was set ablaze.

With the help of the surging flames, they finally saw the appearance of the man in the black dress clearly.

Looking at the familiar face under the reflection of the fire.

They recognized it instantly.

Isn't it the Will who is terrified in their hearts and wants to kill?

Baron Kiora's face was full of gloom, "You actually showed up? How did you know we were here? Is that so? Did that fellow Rick betray us?"

"I'm here tonight for one purpose."

Every word Will said turned into a heavy hammer and hit everyone's heart.

"What purpose?" They couldn't help asking.

"Kill everyone here, or be beaten to death by everyone here."

"Don't be too arrogant! It's just a big knight!" Even though he said this, every knight present was actually terrified to the extreme.

"The seven of us come together, can you still kill us?"

"There are hundreds of brothers outside of us, and you can only be hacked to death if you rush forward."

"It's interesting, cut off your hands, maybe we can spare your life!"

What they said, they shouted as loudly as possible.

Originally thought that after the surrounding guards heard their voices, they would appear and surround Will.

but no.

The flames burned more and more intensely.

Before he knew it, the whole hut was engulfed in flames.

The scorching flames were constantly swaying beside him, but the hearts of the seven knights present were extremely cold.

The seven looked at each other and made a decision instantly.

They realized that the night attack plan might be a trap jointly arranged by the Albert family and the Evelyn family.

Will may have been back a long time ago, but only got wind of it yesterday.

The purpose is to wipe out their Kiora family and Bacon family in one fell swoop.

Outside, many traps must have been laid.

Escape is mostly impossible to escape.

The only way to survive is to take Will as a hostage.

It would be nice to be able to kill Will, even if he couldn't be captured alive.

"How dare you appear in front of us alone, I think you are tired of working!"

The people of the two families moved extremely fast.

After the seven knights looked at each other, they made movements in less than a second.

In an instant, the seven people surrounded Will, blocking all of Will's escape routes.

By this time, Will didn't seem to have reacted yet.

Still sitting on a wooden pier.

"Will, you are already surrounded by us, just surrender obediently."

"Do you want one person to be an enemy of the seven of us?"

"Even if you are a great knight, it is impossible to win."

While saying the lines of persuading surrender, the two knights standing behind Will raised their swords and slashed at Will.

clang clang!

"Chopped."

"We chopped off his head."

"Haha, his brain must be blown, right?"

"...Why don't you talk? Shouldn't it be time to celebrate?"

For a moment, the two couldn't understand what happened.

"Huh? Why is Will still alive? Our sword is still stuck in his head?"

"It seems to be true. I also vaguely saw my hands holding the sword. Is it an illusion?"

"Didn't we sneak behind Will? Why did we seem to be facing him? And when did he become so tall?"

The two looked at each other.

"Why can't my neck turn?"

"I can't feel my body anymore either."

The two heads on the table are talking and laughing to each other.

The other five knights looked at the strange scene in front of them, their whole bodies seemed to stand naked in the cold wind, with indescribable fear.

"Evil, devil ah ah——"

The remaining five people screamed in horror, they didn't even have the courage to take action, they turned around and fled.

boom--

Break through the burning wooden wall and into the dense fog where you can't see your fingers.

Run and run and run.

Running hard.

Running with all my might.

Do your best to stimulate your vitality, just to escape.

But no matter how they ran, whether they were east or west, up or down, wherever they went, there was a dense fog that could not be dispelled.

When he stopped, he realized that he was the only one around.

His eyes looked behind him in horror.

What came into view was the burning wooden house, and Will sitting in the wooden house with his head bowed and not saying a word.

Kakaka.

Will's head turned stiffly, and his dark pupils seemed to be able to swallow the light.

"No, don't—"

Seeing Will turn his head towards him, the fear in his heart rose to the extreme.

I can't even take care of physical incontinence.

I can only keep running with my thighs open.

With his back to Will, he kept running forward.

But no matter how he ran, there was always just a white mist in front of him, and he couldn't see anything except a piece of white.

Looking back, he found that Will's head turned a little bit towards him.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that the distance between him and Will was not far away, but even closer.

As Will's head turned, the distance got closer, closer.

Burning hut.

Dark Will.

Before he knew it, he had come behind him.

Even closer.

He could feel the flames burning his back.

Looking back again, his back was almost touching the burning wooden wall.

At the same time, he was horrified to find that in front of Will, on the long and crude wooden table, there were a few more heads—not just the first two.

He had a hunch that if he was pulled closer to the hut, his head would also turn into one on the long table.

"Uh-oh-"

His face contorted.

Eyes with blood and tears.

Due to excessive force, both feet were actually broken.

quiet.

The fear in my heart completely disappeared.

It's better to say that I don't know why, but I have an inexplicable sense of security in my heart.

Looking around, staring at familiar faces, he was looking at them, and they were looking at him.

"Are you here too?"

"I'll wait for you."

"Haha, the way you wet your pants is so funny."

"Do you still have the face to say? Who stuck his head in the ground? Do you think you can escape successfully by doing this?"

"...Look, there is one more person."

"Haha, the way he is trying to run away is really funny."

...

Will got up to leave the burning hut.

On the long table behind them, seven heads were crying and laughing.

The burning hut completely collapsed.

The flames buried the nightmarish scene.

Will walked forward, the fog thinning with each step.

When his footsteps just came out of the deserted courtyard, the fog completely disappeared.

Strangely, the hundreds of people who had been standing around the courtyard were also missing.

The thatched hut was reduced to ashes under the flames.

No trace of a human body can be seen in the ashes.

like a dream.

As if nothing happened.

The most elite combat force gathered by the two baron families, seven knights, more than a dozen quasi-knights, and hundreds of well-equipped guards.

Disappeared without a sound.

Not even a trace was left.

Will looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "The Cook family, the Evelyn family, the Kiora family and the Bacon family are all settled, next—"

The real culprit is still at large - the Ogari family.

Not only this time, but also the rebellion fifteen years ago, the shadow of the Ogari family was behind both rebellions.

"The Viscount Ogari family?"

"The Great Knight Sharo?"

"And the Earl Jiali family standing behind the Ogari family?"

"It's time to settle this hatred."

"The interest is a little high, I hope you can afford it."

One month later, it will be the 90th birthday of Earl Jiali, the head of the Jiali family, the highest-ranking person in the province of Doria, and the only earl.

At that time, all major families in Doria province would go to celebrate their birthdays.

The Ogari family is no exception.
