Chapter 335 The Dead Douglas

"It's better to come in and talk."

The blue-robed wizard in the room looked solemn and glanced at the corridor behind Rowling.

"..."

Luo Lin frowned, but she still led Qi Lin and others into the room, locked the door behind her back, and then released the transformation spell, restoring everyone's appearance to their original appearance.

"What about people?"

Rowling looked at the blue-robed wizard and asked again: "Joseph, why are you the only one? Where is Douglas?"

"he died."

The blue-robed wizard named "Joseph" sighed softly, "Yesterday he said he was going to the neighboring city of Antonio to meet his daughter, but unfortunately... news came this morning that he met Sam, the golden dragonrider, in the city. Sam, and then fought with Sam in the city, and eventually died together..."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Luo Lin was immediately stunned.

Qi Lin was a little confused.

"Mr. Qi."

Samantha tugged gently on his sleeve.

After Qi Lin lowered his head, the beautiful witch whispered in his ear: "I heard, just heard, that Douglas was divorced because his wife cheated on him with Golden Dragon Rider Sam, but now it seems Come on, when Douglas was going to his ex-wife’s house to meet his daughter, he happened to meet his ex-wife and Sam at... um... Wen Ning? Then he couldn’t control his emotions, and then they got into a fight, right? "

"No, not just that."

Joseph shook his head with a complicated expression, "According to the information I got, when Mr. Douglas went to see his daughter, he found that his ex-wife and his daughter who was less than 14 years old were serving Sam in bed together. Faced with this Under normal circumstances, Douglas would be unable to control himself and choose to die with Sam."

"What a man!"

Irena next to her heard this and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"what?"

Qi Lin was a little confused.

Wait, that's not right.

Luo Lin had said before that this man named Douglas was the head of the Rhine Town Association branch. He could help Luo Lin apply for matters related to returning to the headquarters, so she wanted to go back to the headquarters to check Li Haoran's research notes. Qi Lin and Luo Lin asked. This Douglas must be found first.

Among other things, Rowling said Douglass knew a hermit.

And the hermit knows the sacred swordsmanship.

Rowling said before that it would take time to apply to return to the headquarters, and during this time, Qi Lin could learn the matching sword skills of the Sacred Breathing Method from the hermit, just to find something to do... However, Douglas was gone!

According to Joseph next to him, Douglas is now dead.

What to do next? !

"I-I can understand Douglas' impulse."

Rowling raised her hand and scratched her hair, her face full of irritation, "This is understandable. You men may not be able to bear this, but...but he disobeyed the order! Douglas's task was to keep the sacred potion, and he went without authorization. Going to Antonio is already AWOL! And now that he dies in Antonio, what about the sacred potion? That is the last set left in our association!"

"Oh no."

When Joseph next to him heard this, he quickly opened his waist pocket and showed her six small bottles of golden potion, "Douglas had handed over the sacred potion to me for safekeeping before he left."

Qi Lin couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Is this the sacred potion needed to practice the sacred breathing method?
"Ok?"

However, Rowling looked surprised when she saw this, "How could it be? Before he went to Antonio, he took the initiative to give you the sacred potion for safekeeping? In other words, he knew that he could not come back?!"

"That's unknown." Joseph sighed, "Perhaps Mr. Douglas didn't bump into him by chance, but he knew that his ex-wife and young daughter were living together for the same husband. He didn't want to live this time. return."

"But he obviously still has a mission, he...oh, forget it."

Luo Lin had a complicated expression and shook her head helplessly, "The man has passed away, so I won't mention these things."

"..."

Qi Lin and Catherine looked at each other, both frowning slightly.

For some reason, he always felt something was strange.

Looking at Catherine's expression, Catherine should have the same idea as him, but he couldn't seem to tell what was wrong for a while.

"It sounds like this Douglas is a little irresponsible."

Suddenly, Catherine initiated a spiritual dialogue with Qi Lin through the devil's contract.

"really."

Qi Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied in the same way of spiritual dialogue: "It is understandable for ordinary people to put personal emotions before official business, but the problem is that this Douglas is a branch of the Rhine Town Association The person in charge, why did the Wizards Association choose such a person to be the head of the branch? Is there really no one available?"

"..."

Catherine shook her head slightly, saying that she didn't quite understand.

"But, just having the sacred potion is useless."

At this time, Rowling looked solemnly, looked at Joseph in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "Only Douglas knew that reclusive knight. Now that he is dead, God knows if the reclusive knight will give him face? People who know the sacred swordsmanship are very rare. And among these few people, he is the only one who might agree to teach Mr. Qi Lin the sacred swordsmanship!"

"You should agree."

Joseph said, taking out a worn-out iron ring from his waistband, "Before he left, Douglas gave me the address of the reclusive knight and this, saying that when I got there, he would give this ring to me. As a reclusive knight, he will naturally help.”

"A token?"

Rowling suddenly saw hope in despair, and said in surprise: "So, Douglas arranged everything before choosing to die... Oh, I forgot to introduce!" At this time, Rowling realized it in hindsight. Thinking of this incident, he stood next to Joseph and said softly: "Mr. Qi Lin, this is the deputy head of the Rhine Town Association branch, Deacon Simon Joseph, who is usually Douglas's deputy, just like me. Golden wizard.

In terms of combat magic alone, Joseph is far superior to me, and he is fully capable of fulfilling his duty of protecting you.

Joseph, the person standing in front of you is the son of the Demon King we are going to rescue this time. His name is Qi Lin. "

"Nice to meet you."

Joseph placed his right palm on his left chest, nodded slightly, and saluted Qi Lin.

"Me too."

Qi Lin bowed his head in greeting.

"Then don't waste your time."

Rowling looked at Joseph and said in a deep voice: "Joseph, help me make arrangements. I want to apply to take Mr. Qi Lin back to the association headquarters."

"Huh? Why?"

When Joseph heard this, he was slightly startled, "According to the original plan, the next task is not for Douglas to take Mr. Qilin to learn the sacred breathing method... Well, although Mr. Douglas is already dead."

"Mr. Qi Lin would like to take a look at the research notes left by Mr. Li first." Luo Lin said, "In short, you apply first. As for the period of waiting for the headquarters to reply, Mr. Qi Lin will go first according to the original plan. Learn the sacred swordsmanship."

"Ok, I see."

Joseph nodded.

"and also!"

Rowling looked serious, reached out and patted Joseph on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Deacon Simon Joseph! From now on, in the name of the vice president, I order you to put down everything you are doing and take over Douglas's original mission. Escort Mr. Qi Lin to find the reclusive knight!"

"Ah? Yes!"

Joseph was obviously surprised, but he still nodded in response.

"Huh?" Qi Lin was a little confused, "President Luo Lin, what do you mean... you won't come?"

"Yes."

Rowling nodded and smiled: "My mission this time was to bring you to Douglas and then transfer you to Douglas, but now that Douglas is dead, I can only let Joseph take over.

As for me?
In St. George City, Kevin saw my appearance. I did it on purpose. They will definitely think that you are staying with me.

Therefore, I will stay in the northern part of the kingdom, deliberately expose my whereabouts, and lure people from the Holy See of Light to arrest me, thereby helping you attract firepower... Don't worry, although I am not the strongest in combat magic, I am good at fighting guerrillas. It has the richest experience in the entire association.

Anyway, I'll be fine.

Mr. Qi Lin, I will find a way to notify you after the approval for our return to the headquarters is completed. We will meet up at this hotel by then. Joseph knows the secret code to contact the hotel owner. We will see you again soon. "

"understand!"

Qi Lin heard this and nodded heavily, "Then you must take care of yourself!"

"Um, Vice President?" Samantha looked at Rowling hesitantly, "What do you mean, we won't go back to the headquarters?"

"Back, but not now."

Rowling looked at the young and beautiful witch and said seriously: "Samantha, in the name of Vice President, I order you to continue to follow Mr. Qi Lin and take care of his daily life until the approval of our return to the headquarters is completed. , and then we will meet again and return to the headquarters together."

"Take care of...well, yes."

Samantha was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

"Without further ado, let's set off now to find the hermit." Joseph said in a deep voice, "You guys sit here for a while, and I will help President Rowling apply for a return to the headquarters, and then I will come back to take you Set off!"

"So, who is the reclusive knight?" Samantha asked.

"Steven William." Joseph said, "Yes, that's the William you thought of first!"

"..."

Samantha was stunned, her mouth opened, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"Who?"

Qi Lin asked curiously.

"He, he is the strongest knight in the kingdom from the previous generation!"

Samantha came back to her senses and said in disbelief: "The Kevin we met in St. George's City is the strongest knight in the current kingdom, and was awarded the title of 'Knight to Protect the Country' by the king.

The previous owner of this title was Steven William.

At the same time, this William is also Kevin's teacher, and Kevin was raised by him, but...it is rumored that William died of illness at home ten years ago!He's not dead? ! "

"Fake your own death to escape."

Joseph touched the stubble on his chin and said softly: "I was shocked when I heard Mr. Douglas talk about this yesterday. Mr. Douglas said that William chose to fake his death to escape from the control of the Holy See. Live your remaining years in freedom.”

"So where does he live now?" Samantha asked again.

"You must not have imagined it." Joseph said with a subtle expression, "He lives in a... uh, a forest."

"Forest? Which forest?"

"Mary's Forest."

"what?!!"
