Night Crow Master

This guy is not the "catch" Halloran mentioned by Edgeworth.

Don’t say if it’s a wizard, but—

The Kiss of the Phantom Bird was a work by Edgeworth a long time ago. The "Halloran" mentioned in it should be someone Edgeworth knew well.

Not to mention other things, at least in terms of longevity and strength——

Can't find the shadow crow, don't even think about it.

Without much thought, five apocalyptic crows leaned forward, and the crows looked for things in the house like no one.

The "Master Halloran" did not notice this.

He is still a strong man with his hands behind his back and a relaxed and indifferent face.

This attitude of the other party even made Yate hesitate for a moment, and the idea that he had actually discovered the shadow crow and himself came into his heart for a moment.

However, only the female mercenary who seemed to have extraordinary perception ability glanced at the location where the shadow crow appeared from time to time, with hesitating doubts on her face, as if she wanted to say something but didn't want to say it.

And Liane was indeed wondering, she could perceive that there were five very powerful monsters moving around in the room.

Is it a contracted creature of Master Halloran?

At the same time of doubt, she did not dare to ask, Master Halloran must be aware of Lian's thoughts.

The master is an apocalyptic wizard, an earl-level powerhouse, if it weren't for having hatred with other wizards, he would be the current earl of Philekshire.

This was inferred based on the information revealed in the words of Master Halloran.

As for the strength of Master Halloran, they have no doubts.

When they came here three years ago, they saw Master Halloran using a powerful spell of the Apocalypse class to smash the cliffs beside the forest to pieces. The terrifying explosion could not be forgotten by Liann now.

Finally, glancing at the big and small shadows that kept moving around inside the wooden house, Liann lowered his head and kept silently listening to the conversation between Captain Karloff and Master Halloran.

And the result of the dialogue--

"I'm going back to Rongguang Continent."

The Master Halloran waved his hand, and the closed door opened again, and the white gauze-like mist slowly dissipated.

Hearing this, Karlov opened his mouth, which was obviously a rejection.

There was a moment of silence, and he could only bow once, ready to turn and leave.

Haun wanted to say something, but he was held back by Ball and Lean, fearing that he would offend the apocalyptic wizard.

The three turned and followed Karlov and left.

But when they walked to the door, they heard a thump--

Bauer turned his head in doubt, but a strong sense of exhaustion came, his eyelids drooped, and his body fell to the ground instantly.

Boom!

Two consecutive bangs made Haun and Karloff feel that something was wrong. They turned and looked back, only to see their companions falling to the ground.

"why!?"

Karlov subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the weapon on his waist, but at this time, he felt that his body did not have the slightest strength, even the strength to reach out his hand was gone, and a strong sense of fatigue enveloped him.

Can't help...

Although I want to rely on my will to do something, I can't do it anymore.

And his last hope... Karlov looked hard at "Master Halloran" and cast his eyes for help.

However, before he was completely covered by fatigue and lost the ability to move, what he saw was the smile on the corner of Master Halloran's mouth.

Is it a master? ? why! ?

But before he could understand, he fell down.

And Haun also fell asleep completely a second after he fell, and finally only made the action of protecting the three of them with his body.

But the Master Halloran, watching the four fallen, did not act immediately, but stood still and said:

"You should come out too?"

With these words, Yate couldn't help but immediately ordered the shadow crows to stop, and his emotions became tense.

He held his breath.

Three seconds later, the other party's next sentence rang:

"Aren't you coming out? Then..."

Yate saw the opponent's right hand lifted slightly, and a force of strength was in the opponent's hand, forming a lightning ball that was larger than his upper body.

It was a sphere with a surging chain of lightning, constantly radiating the chain of lightning around.

"Ok?"

But it is not psionic, and there is no danger.

Although it looks scary, this force is actually very weak.

Kind of like...gloomy fear?

Yate frowned and continued to observe the other party's actions, and the next action of the other party also confirmed Yate's suspicion——

After five seconds, the huge lightning ball slowly shrank and disappeared.

After a cold snort, the Master Halloran walked towards the fallen four.

Bluffing is okay.

I have to say that bluffing is a very useful trick for Yate.

With Yate's character, even if he knew it was a bluff, he would hesitate to be cautious.

...

Master Halloran, after using the usual means to swindle and confirming that there are no peepers, walked towards Karlov and others.

Standing in front of Karlov and others, there was a trace of apology on his face:

"Sorry, Karlov, the enchanting scrolls are exhausted, I can't enchant you anymore."

Enchanting scroll is an item made by alchemists in order to enchant items. It is also a kind of magic props, just consumable.

After engraving the spell sequence on the scroll, attach the spell sequence to the item by attaching magic, and you only need to set the trigger through language and other triggers to use it.

Five years ago, he found a place where the caster once lived, and entered that place through his extraordinary ability—applicability.

His extraordinary ability allows him to use any magic items without restriction.

He can use the magic props made by wizards or other spellcasters.

There is a place where a powerful wizard once lived. It seems to have been abandoned for thousands of years. It has also been explored. However, at the doorway, there is a hidden secret door. There is a hidden space that needs to be passed through. Passed after verification of magic items.

Relying on his extraordinary ability, he interfered and manipulated this magic item and entered this secret door.

He got a lot of magic props, many books of alchemy knowledge, and many enchanting scrolls.

Although many scrolls and props were out of order when they were discovered, there are still some that can be used.

Relying on the things inside, he was promoted from a low position to a high position in five years, and he also learned a lot of alchemy knowledge.

but.....

The alchemy books obtained from that space are the alchemy books of wizards.

Although he has gained a lot of knowledge, he cannot truly become an alchemist-because he cannot use psionic energy.

He is not a true alchemist.

He didn't dare to show off his knowledge in front of wizards, and could only coax those mercenaries and rookies who had just become spellcasters in the wild by accident.

Relying on enchanting scrolls, he made many enchanted items, and he also gained the reputation of "Alchemist Halloran" and "Master Halloran".

However, until now, the enchanting scroll has been consumed by him.

The magic props used to demonstrate the identity of the "Apocalypse Powerful" are basically almost used.

His extraordinary ability allows him to use magic items, but it will damage the items themselves.

Especially the magic items of wizards, I don't know why, they break faster.

Now he has no items left to use.

There was no way to continue using this identity. He knew very well that the respect he had never felt before was all because of his identity as an "Apocalypse Wizard" and "Alchemist".

Without the enchanting scroll, he could not continue to earn money as an alchemist.

Then, he can only take other methods to make money.

For example, the guests who previously commissioned him to enchant props.

His eyes turned to the forest.

In addition to Karlov, three people have died at his hands.

Of these three people, two are lone travelers, not members of a mercenary group like Karlov, no, there seems to be one.

It doesn't matter, wait another month to see if there are any other guests.

If there are more, kill them.

Those who come to find yourself will definitely bring a lot of materials.

It's just a pity, this time, not as a reward.

It was a pity that a regretful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the future, he needs to buy a lot of magic props, gold coins and materials, which he needs very much.

"I'm really sorry, Karlov." With a false apology on his face, he swept over the three of them, "Just kill these three men, this woman...I remember it was Lian Right? Looks pretty good, you can stay and play for a few days."

Touching the robe, his palm tugged at the elastic band of the waistband, and then he drew a sheathed dagger from the robe. The dagger was engraved with dozens of inscriptions, which was a magic prop.

"The effect of the dizzy haze can last for half a day. You don't need to worry too much, but it is better to solve it earlier."

While muttering to himself, he couldn't help but glanced at his ring. There were a lot of cracks on it, and the color looked very bleak compared to before.

"It can be used about ten times."

After making a silent estimate, he drew out the short sword, and the extraordinary power in his body surged and gathered on the short sword, and the dim gray light blade emerged from the short sword.

After making a gesture, he was about to swing the short sword in his hand towards Haun's neck.

This big man feels the most dangerous.

However, at this moment, an indifferent voice without emotion sounded behind him:

"Master Halloran? Your ability is of great research value. Can you please quietly catch it?"

The sudden sound surprised him, without any hesitation, with a swing of his arm, the short sword in his hand swung behind him.
