???? Margaret provided Shad with the news, and smiled and said what she just learned:

???? "My brother came to the Randall Valley, and he had other purposes like me. Remember the gold ore you picked up last week? At that time, I was curious, where did I find it? I found a gold mine. Just now I heard the local rumors that the men of Stone Oxenfurt you mentioned explored a gold mine locally and developed it in cooperation with my brother. Of course, it is only a rumor at present, and There seems to be something wrong with this rumor, so it cannot be ruled out that it is a trick."

???? "I heard from Miss Lathers that Mr. Oxenfurt originally took care of some things that were not convenient for him to handle for your brother."

???? "Yes, Mr. Oxenfurt's fortune has something to do with William. This is a very capable and very lucky person. However, this person is also a bit too cruel, I will not Use this kind of person."

???? Margaret said softly, Xia De nodded, and thought of the warehouse that was burned by flames this evening:

???? "Let's not talk about this, I got some information about the Stonemasons Association from Tobesk. Miss Galina's relationship allowed me to get in touch with some secrets. Wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I will bring you the documents Now, it can be confirmed that the collapse of the Colossus twenty years ago has nothing to do with MI6, but the stonemasons were provoked to make trouble, but the shadow of MI6 assassinated it last week, and it has nothing to do with MI6."

???? "All of these can be guessed. Miss Berenice's test is not easy, but she can always find a way. When the time comes, I may need your help. The reliable and capable people around me, but Nothing compares to you."

???? "It is my honor to help you, my lord."

???? Xia De said with a smile, the princess with pale blond hair waved to him, and offered her kiss again.

???? "Since you are in a hurry to find Miss Lassers, go quickly. Don't delay your business."

???? The princess pushed Xia De lightly, then reached out to wipe off the lipstick marks on his lips:

???? "Speaking of which, your kissing skills are really good."

???? One second before the incident, Xia De's inspiration caught the dangerous signal. The whole house trembled as he stood up with Margaret in his arms.

????The books on the bookshelf fell to the ground with a clatter, and because of the trembling of the floor, all the furniture seemed to dance together. The teacup on the table fell on the carpet and slammed into the metal legs of the coffee table. The crystal lamp above the head shook in a very dangerous arc, and the glass chandeliers collided with each other. Although the crystal lamp did not fall, some shattered glass **** did fall.

????"earthquake!"

???? The music from the banquet hall has stopped, replaced by screams. The gas lamp flickered a few times and then went out suddenly. It took at least five seconds for it to come on again, but the brightness was not as good as before.

???? Margaret felt that the whole world was shaking, but she was held tightly in Shade's arms, and Shade remained motionless as if growing on the ground.

???? The earthquake lasted for thirteen seconds before it stopped. At this time, the room was in a mess. Only one corner of the oil painting frame on the wall was still fixed by a nail. Fortunately, the Earl's mansion was strong enough, and the earthquake did not cause problems for the building itself:

???? "Let's go out quickly, there may be aftershocks in a while!"

???? Margaret hugged Xia De's arm tightly. At this time, the maids outside the door also rushed in, but they all pretended not to see Xia De.

???? "Margaret, you take people out first. Something happened, this earthquake is not normal."

???? Xia De looked at the back garden of the manor with a serious expression:

???? "The nature of this land is changing. Margaret, take your people and leave the manor as soon as possible. I feel that something terrible will happen after that. This time is very unusual. What happened? "

???? "But Shad."

???? "We're not playing chivalry, Margaret, take people out."

???? The princess bit her lip and nodded. After saying goodbye softly, she watched Xia De open the window and jumped out of the window—this is the second floor. Margaret wanted to go to the window to see Shade's situation, but immediately felt some kind of extremely chaotic power, trying to influence and infiltrate herself. She knew that she couldn't help if she stayed, so she could only leave in a hurry with her own people. I was worried about Xia De's situation in my heart, and didn't know what would happen in the future.

???? At this time, Xia De, who jumped into the back garden from the window, had lightly landed on the ground, and then saw a layer of black mist lingering around his ankles, penetrating towards the front of the manor.

????The black mist is only under the feet, and the way it penetrates and spreads is very similar to the khaki-yellow aura erupted by Shade's [Power of the Earth·Healing Aura]. And in the black mist, he clearly felt the power characteristics of the black mud representing the crazy essence of the earth, which was something he had never done before.

???? I wanted to walk towards the source of the black mist, but aftershocks really appeared. While the ground was shaking, the black mist covering the ground flowed and spread at a faster speed. Although this had no effect on Xia De, he couldn't imagine what would happen if the black mist spread to ordinary people who hadn't left the manor .

???? "People from Orthodox Church, should they come?"

???? Observing the flow direction of the black mist and walking quickly towards the source, only to come out from the flower bed and hear the sound of fighting ahead. After confirming his disguise, he walked over, but the first thing he saw was not the people fighting, but the white stone fountain in the center of the back garden of the Earl's Manor, which was spraying black liquid towards the sky at this time:

???? "Is oil found here?"

???? The astonished thought was immediately discarded by Xia De:

???? "It's that kind of black mud!"

???? Everyone is avoiding the attack of the black mud, leaving the circle around the fountain completely empty. Among the more than ten ring magicians present, there were three Miss Lassers and priests from the Orthodox Church.

???? The two priests in Zhonghuan are hurriedly arranging rituals and performing divine spells to prevent the flowing black mud from spreading to the surroundings. But what they could do was to slow down the flow of the black mud, and they couldn't stop the black mist spreading from the "fountain".

???? Although the situation here is not as bad as St. Perry's Cemetery, you must know that St. Perry's Cemetery has a seal. The violently gushing black mud is the enemy of all flesh and blood, and as the black mud spreads wider and wider, the people fighting are constantly moving.

???? At this time, Miss Lassus and the three of them are fighting against a high-ring warlock and two middle-ring warlocks together with a ring warlock that Shade doesn't know, and three ring warlocks from the Orthodox Church.

???? Obviously, the priest who was blocking the black mud belonged to the same team as the warlocks in the middle ring who were fighting, and Xia De recognized a middle-aged man in the middle ring among the opponents who fought against Miss Lassus and the others. That was the enemy that appeared with the High Ring Warlock of the Blood Spirit School when he camped outside the city overnight with Miss Bernice.

????Since it is related to the Blood Spirit School, then Xia De can be sure that the other party is his enemy:

???? "The Light of Imprisonment!"

????Five bright silver halos flew out. Although they were immediately shattered by the wind blade of the high-ring warlock, they also won the opportunity for Miss Lasers and others to move further away.

???? "No matter who you are, don't get close to those black mud!"

???? Miss Lathers called out to Shad, who she recognized, but Shad also noticed that the young lady seemed to be having trouble moving around. There was no time to talk at this time, and the crackling silver thunder light had already appeared in Xia De's hands. Just as he was about to join the battle, a heavy voice came from the depths of the gushing black mud.

????【somebody is coming. 】

???? A humanoid creature with a height of almost three meters and covered with gray stones crawled out of the gushing "spring" by stepping on the black mud.

???? Although the black mud has no effect on the stone itself, the normal soul is still inevitably polluted by the power of the crazy earth. Therefore, the eyes of this "stone man" are abnormally red. The steps are a little staggering.

???? "What is this? Alien creature?"

???? [No, the other party is a human being. I felt the power of the same source as "the power of the earth", which should also be a branch of the power of the earth. 】

???? "He is a follower of the evil **** [Stone Heart Demon]!"

???? At the moment when Xia De was surprised, the priest of the church shouted to Xia De. And the "graystone giant" who was obviously mentally abnormal also looked at Xia De immediately. This is not bad luck, but that the other party also perceives the power that belongs to the earth:

????"ha!"

???? Amidst the roar, the stone giant stepped on the black mud and rushed towards Shad. The heavy footsteps made the ground seem to tremble again. Since every ring warlock with the "power of the earth" may be the chosen one of the earth, Xia De is also interested in him, so he also greets him.

???? He didn't call any weapons, nor did he use moonlight series of thaumaturgy that would reveal his identity, but relied on physical strength to fight.

????The raised stone fist waved from a high place~lightnovelpub.net~Xiade's clenched fist fought back from a low place. But there was no sound when the fists collided. Xia De's body was pierced by the stone fist and scattered into scarlet butterflies.

???? The flying red butterfly spread a little light above the black mud, and the "gray stone giant" who was in a very bad state of mind couldn't tell where Xia De was from the illusion of the red butterfly.

???? He stood in place, roaring loudly, and kept waving his fists at the butterflies in the air, which was completely useless.

???? "Elson! The things have been obtained, don't get entangled with the enemy, let's go!"

???? Even if his companions called out his name loudly and told him to retreat with them, it was impossible to wake up the graystone giant whose spirit was on the verge of collapse.

???? The opponent is a nine-ring warlock, and the nine rings also belong to the high ring. Under normal circumstances, Xia De could not fight against this kind of enemy, but his abnormal mental state gave Xia De an opportunity. The flying red butterflies gradually surrounded the "giant", and at the same time, the silver mist summoned by [Silver Moon's Illusion] also enveloped it.
