She did not return to her human form, but the aura she exuded in her desperation made Ekaterina almost fall back as if facing a roaring giant beast.
"You...you are Moriarty!?" The female werewolf was surprised and her eyes widened.
"In order to keep it secret, your Excellency has changed your appearance with a secret technique. Please keep it secret." Clausewitz quickly explained and waved the accompanying small group of wolf riders to enter the Wolf Castle and stop showing off outside.
"Let's go see Father first."
Taking a deep breath, Ekaterina calmed down her emotions, took another deep look at the other person, and said softly.
Facing each other head-on like this, the female werewolf truly confirmed that her former "enemy" had grown to such a terrifying level. No wonder she could easily kill a fourteenth-level bright ascetic monk, which was far beyond what she could achieve now.
"Okay, let's talk while walking."
Putting his mind away, Moriarty nodded and went ahead.
Catherine and Clausewitz immediately caught up.
"Just two days ago, Margaret led a group of rangers on a routine patrol near Wolf Castle, and there was no news after that. After an exhaustive search, only the bodies of the other wolf riders were found in a remote desert."
While walking, the female werewolf quickly reported the news.
"How dare you take action within Wolf Castle's sphere of influence?" Moriarty narrowed his eyes and strode forward, heading straight towards the Duke's Palace ahead: "Are there any clues about the dead Wolf Cavalry?"
"Yes!" The female werewolf also gritted her teeth: "Most of the war dead were poisoned with a powerful paralyzing venom. According to the witch doctor's examination, it was confirmed that the poison was dragon fly saliva."
"Dragon fly? Tartaglia? Really?" Moriarty slowed down his steps slightly and turned to look at Ekaterina.
"Confirmed again and again."
"They are the 'beast-armored mercenaries' in the swamp. So, not only did the prince gather powerful men under his command, but he also found powerful helpers from Tartaglia." At this time, Clausewitz suddenly said,
His face became even more solemn.
In the Antagrich continent, Tartaglia's top combat job is called "Beast Armor", which can turn tamed swamp beasts into portable armor. Gain the bonus of the beast's powerful strength. However, there has always been a problem in the swamp.
Resources are meager, and very few strong men are born. Now there is a beast-armored warrior who dares to kidnap Mitamoah's beloved daughter in front of Wolf Castle, and his actions are so clean and neat, he must be a strong man in beast-armor.
"Haha. Sure enough, everyone can find help." Looking at the female werewolf with the same gloomy face, Moriarty sneered.
After only making the simplest announcement, Moriarty, accompanied by Catherine, went straight into the Duke's chamber.
"Welcome, Your Excellency the Great Arcanist. I really didn't expect that after just a short separation, you would grow to such an extent and your reputation would spread throughout the continent." He was stunned at first, but after seeing the eldest daughter,
After a quick explanation, the Duke quickly responded and welcomed Moriarty with the highest courtesy.
"My Lord Duke, your progress is equally astonishing. Last time I saw you, you were still at the peak of the high level, but now you have reached level 14, and your condition is also full. It is only a matter of time before you reach level 15."
Looking at the smiling Duke of Metamoya in front of him, Moriarty was also surprised. Especially after feeling a distant aura as heavy and thick as a mountain in the other person's body. Moriarty was even more certain that the Duke must have used some kind of secret method.
Suppressing or pondering one's own strength makes it stay below the extreme level. But once it is let go, it has such an unstoppable trend, and it is a miracle to advance to two levels in a row.
"Count Ronny, you have also achieved the level of a country, congratulations."
Then, Moriarty said to the knight of the Summer Palace beside the Duke.
As his strength grew, Ronnie became taller and stronger, and there was a faint layer of white electric light floating on the surface of his body. This should be the superpower support obtained after further coordination with the Thunderbird.
"Salute to you, Your Majesty the Grand Arcanist."
Ronnie was naturally overjoyed to see Moriarty coming all the way to support him.
Previously, despite Margaret's fierce opposition, Ekaterina sent a letter to the other party asking for support. Ronnie originally had no hope. Instead, he even thought about persuading his father to force his sister to be sent to Rheinburg to preserve it for the Midamoah family.
The last way out. But unfortunately Margaret also refused and vowed to follow her father to join the "Battle of Heroes Mountain". Seeing this, Ronnie could only let it go. But he didn't expect that Moriarty would really arrive. Such behavior
It can no longer be described as "friendship", but as the true "life and death ally" of the family.
"Duke, I heard that Margaret was kidnapped. Do you have any more clues?" After just a moment of greetings, Moriarty immediately turned to the topic.
"It should have been done by a Dragon Fly Beast Kaiji Dao, but my subordinates have not found its final destination." Still maintaining a calm expression, Midamoah said slowly.
"Didn't you continue the search?" Looking at the other party, Moriarty's eyes suddenly flashed.
"Father has sent out five squadrons of Rangers to search in all directions, but if it was really 'Dragon Fly' that did it, he probably escaped through the air. Ordinary ground tracking is difficult to achieve. But if we want to dispatch powerful Ji Dao experts, at this moment
, it is very likely to fall into the opponent's full range and be surrounded and killed. So..."
Seeing Moriarty's dissatisfaction, Ronnie hurriedly explained, his tone also angry but helpless.
The kidnapping of Margaret can almost be said to be a conspiracy. First, it disturbs the mind of Duke Medamoah. Second, it affects the preparation process of Wolfsburg. Third, as Ronnie said, it is probably a trap to attract the strong men under the Duke's command.
Go out and find opportunities to surround and kill them, directly weakening the top combat power of your competitors.
"Is that so..." What the other party said was true. Looking at the Duke's seemingly indifferent gaze, Moriarty's eyes became brighter: "In that case, I will be responsible for searching and rescuing Margaret. As an outsider, the prince should
If you don't know about my existence, no matter whether you succeed or fail, it will not affect Wolfsburg."
"Then, I'll leave it to Your Majesty Moriarty." Duke Midamoah nodded, and then bowed in a rare gesture, which was a heartfelt thank you to him as a father.
"Duke, it doesn't have to be like this." Looking at the Duke's reticent expression, Moriarty finally sighed softly: "If you have any of Margaret's belongings, please find them for me immediately."
"Okay, I'll get it." Ekaterina, who had been silent all this time, hurriedly left and returned a few minutes later, holding a gold hair crown in her hand: "This is Margaery
It is specially used for daily hair tying, but I temporarily removed it because I was wearing a helmet when I went out that day.”
"Yes." Moriarty nodded, took the golden crown directly, and held it in his left hand. At the same time, he took out a fang from his sleeve and held it in his right hand.
"This is…"
Looking at the fang, Ronnie and Ekaterina couldn't help but look at each other, because it was the wolf fang pendant given by Margaret. Only Duke Medamoya still looked calm, as if he didn't know that it was a gift from his daughter.
It's like a token of love for your sweetheart.
When he held the hair crown and the wolf fangs at the same time, a light gray aura suddenly emerged around Moriarty, slowly turning left, forming an inexplicable swirl of mist. Within the gray mist, there was another trace.
The silver thread shuttles and flickers, like the warp and weft threads of the fabric, running through it.
"this!?"
Everyone present was a strong warrior or magician, and they immediately felt the cold and obscure meaning of the gray aura, but it was obviously different from the rumored aura of death, which made people suspicious.
Gradually, the gray mist slowly condensed into something like a solid body, and the silver threads in it finally combined into an exquisite and dazzling magic circle.
As a result, two similar yet different temperaments emerged from the wolf fangs and the golden crown respectively, and then simultaneously penetrated into the silver array of gray mist.
Then, a ray of light flashed, and in front of everyone's eyes, a translucent light was projected out, and then like a line under a paintbrush, an irregular long line was drawn in the air that turned left and right, zigzag up and down, and finally stopped at a certain position.
like a statue.
"This is?"
With a wave of his hand, the gray fog and silver circle dispersed, but the light was retained.
Ekaterina looked at this irregular line and wondered.
"This is a map of the space path that Margaret has passed through in the past two days. The orientation has been determined according to north and south, so take the Wolfsburg orientation as the starting point. If you are familiar with the local geography, see where that point is roughly."
Moriarty put away his wolf fangs, handed back the hair crown, and said calmly.
In fact, this spell was learned from Dejia's Necromancer Alliance. The principle is the soul catcher's mental search spell, and it is suitable for use now.
"Road map...?"
After another serious look at Moriarty, the female werewolf turned her gaze back to the light, her heart still filled with surprise.
Could it be that after being promoted to Grand Arcanist, the power of magic becomes so powerful that it can find targets across time and space? At this thought, Yekaterina's heart became confused for some reason.
"This is... Petrograd in the Ruger province!"
Ronnie didn't have as many worries as the girl, and he was familiar with the local situation. He immediately saw the direction of the focus of the light at a glance.
"Petrograd?"
"That is the capital of Ruger Province and the core territory of Count Silvet. The famous 'Blood Flag Brigade' is also stationed here." Clausewitz continued to explain.
"Count Sylvette..." Moriarty seemed to have some memory when he heard this name.
"Yes, the real owner of the 'Savage Totem' is also one of the only two 'Earls of Glory' in the United Kingdom. His strength is comparable to that of a duke, but he is unable to be promoted to the title of duke due to the limited territory." The old werewolf further said.
"I remember." Moriarty nodded.
Many years ago, he had "dealt with" the bandits of Savage Totem in the Hurricane Wasteland, and through this he got to know Margaret and Clausewitz. So after returning, Moriarty never specifically inquired about the enemy.
Virtual reality.
"Did Sylvette's people do it?" At this time, Ronnie growled.
"Not necessarily, it may be that the prince wants to muddy the waters or provoke a fight between Wolfsburg and Petrograd." Ekaterina denied.
"Anyway, Margaret's location has been determined, and the rest will be left to me."
After saying that, Moriarty quickly walked out of the Duke's Palace without looking back.
Mitamoah and others were left in silence for a while, until the light in the void finally dissipated on its own. (To be continued.)
