Artifact

."

As he spoke, the old man closed his pocket without waiting for an answer, and then reopened it again, shaking it in the wind.

The big gray cloth bag that seemed to be tattered suddenly expanded to the size of a foot like a balloon.

The old man walked a few steps to the ice coffin of the thirteenth night, stretched his pocket towards the ice coffin, and the ice coffin slid into the pocket and disappeared.

He did the same, and put Alina in it.

At last, the old man looked around, erased all traces he could find, opened his pocket, and slipped into it head-in.

In the lonely wasteland, there is only the sound of lonely wind.

This state has existed in this land for millions of years, but today, about half an hour later, the next group of guests is welcomed.

These are two strong men in Romanov uniforms with huge skeletons.

One of them was a handsome man with silver hair and blue eyes, who was none other than the refining wizard who had come after Alina, "Burst Major" Andrei Ko Romanov.

The other was a bare-headed man with a rough red beard.

He is Alina's brother-in-law, known as "Black Volga", the most powerful refining wizard after Hero Steel, and the "First Ghost" of the Romanov Knights, Valery Chkalovsky.

Chkalovsky also had a nickname, which was a nickname for relatives and a defamatory nickname for outsiders.

In terms of size, Qihu and Major Kou are about the same "giant".

This "giant" would not have been able to be experienced if it had not been for them personally.

More than two meters tall, more than 400 kilograms in weight, as if made of muscles as strong as iron, all this makes the two of them no less than giants from any point of view.

But when they landed on the ground, they were as silent as feathers.

Major Kou squeezed his fist fiercely: "Damn, when did this little girl run so fast?! I can't even feel the remnants of magic ......

."

Chebeard closed his eyes and sensed again: "Hmm...... It was indeed suddenly gone, and it stands to reason that only when the magician dies will the remnants of magic be completely eliminated...... Unless there's an enchantment or something else we haven't found out about. "

Major Kou glanced around: "Looking at Alina's escape direction, it can't be that she wants to cross the border and leave Beixiong Kingdom, right?"

Qihu crouched down and carefully identified the tracks: "I don't know where Alina is going...... But judging from my experience, although there are traces covered up here, I can still see that there is at least one person who responds - the other party is quite sophisticated in covering up the traces, and he is a master. "

Major Kou said coldly, "Hmph, I knew that Alina was instructed by someone!!, otherwise where did she get so daring?!".

Qi Huzi frowned: "We have to intercept her before she leaves the border of Beixiong Kingdom, in case she is really taken advantage of, it will be troublesome." "

"Do you want me to start the division?"

"There's no way, I've completely lost my trace, and now I can only rely on this trick. "

Major Kou's expression was grim, he nodded slightly, and then his gaze fell behind him, and he said in a low voice: "Qi beard...... What about those guys?".

Far behind the two of them was none other than the Demon Slayer Crusaders.

The bald man with the red beard didn't raise his head: "That's the Vatican's problem, and it's already the greatest mercy that we didn't do anything to them." "

Previously, the Demon Slayer Crusaders did not go to war with Major Cole, but chose to follow after the appearance of Chehu, after all, everyone's goal was the same - Major Cole and Chehu wanted to recover Alina and the Reincarnation Bow, and the Demon Slayer Crusaders needed to find the body of Night Thirteen.

And both sides know that once the war starts, it will turn into a world war!

It's just that Major Kou and Qihu have decided to activate the global blockade, which is a fairly powerful global enchantment magic that can detect all traces of magical activity in the territory of the Northern Xiong Kingdom.

Normally, the Division is the equivalent of a grounding order for all mages when the Division is activated, so that only specially permitted pursuers will be able to move.

In other words, the only two people who move in the state of the whole territory are fugitives and pursuers, and during this period, any movement of a magician within a certain range will be regarded as a violation of the ban, and the revocation of the license and confinement is considered light, and it is not impossible to be treated as a fugitive by the pursuer who falls from the sky and kill with one blow.

Of course, this is also the last resort against Alina.

After all, once it is activated, this movement will be really big, not only the Oleg family will be moved, but the entire Northern Magic Sect and even most of the magicians will get to the bottom of it, and when the time comes, the rumors of "traitors in the Romanov family" will spread all over the world.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if Alina's big secret of holding the reincarnation bow leaks out...... That's even worse!

Major Kou slowly unfolded the magic array, and was just about to contact the Holy See, when suddenly a faint low voice came from the side:

"Don't worry, you two, although I don't know who you're looking for, can you let me study the scene of the evaporation of the night thirteen people?".

The two of them looked up, only to see a person wearing holy clothes slowly descending from mid-air, hiding his face under the hood.

And the man's voice was very strange, not like a man or a woman, as if something had pinched his throat.

It was also this person who intervened in time to prevent the conflict between the Demon Slayer Crusaders and Major Kou.

He calls himself Urban Grandi, a Vatican secret magician with quasi-heavenly father-level strength.

No one knows if Juban is that powerful, but at least it's true that he's the actual commander of the current demon-slaying crusade.

And about the secret mage hunter, Major Kou and Qihu have also heard of it.

It is said that from the Chaos BC to the Dark Middle Ages, these magicians affiliated with the church sect were registered and could be searched.

It was mainly for those who suffered from demons or evil spirits to be able to distinguish between the real and the fake, and there were many fake mages who made a lot of money from this before the book was created.

But the problem soon appeared, there have been several leaks of the list of mage hunters in history, and after each leak, there will be a tragedy of the mage hunter being hunted by the demons in reverse.

Most of these events ended with the mage hunters being slaughtered, and only a few survived.

This unexpected development was certainly not the original intention of the church faction, so the mage hunters became secret organizations after the Middle Ages.

Only those who have been carefully selected and tested can become secret mages hunters, and more importantly - there is no list, and the church has announced that the mage hunter profession has long been abolished.

In other words, it also has to do with the fact that most of the evil in today's world is suppressed.

Although there have been a few official exorcisms in the Vatican in recent history, and the members involved in the operation have also claimed that they are only priests or bishops, those who understand understand it in their hearts.

How can a demon that transcends the dimension of existence be dispelled by reciting a few words of the Bible with a mere faith?

The

only one who can destroy and expel demons is a mage hunter who has faced demons head-on!

Juban Grandi dared to call himself a secret mage-hunter, which at least showed that he was quite confident in his own strength.

Of course, he still didn't have enough to see for the two refining magicians.

For example, Major Kou didn't intend to give him any face.
