Lance took Karl and Suldak to the top floor of the Magic Union, where the office of the Arch Magician Gerald, head of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group, was located.
The top floor of the Magic Tower is a bit deserted. Not many magicians are qualified to work on this floor. There is a faint scent of jasmine floating in the empty hall. Sunlight shines into the hall from the surrounding glass windows. The lighting at the top of the Magic Tower is very good, and
The top floor is completely isolated from the other floors and is not included in the spiral design of the Magic Tower.
There are various painted murals on the dome on the top of the magic tower. Surdak looked up and saw a city in the clouds. From a distance, the city in the clouds looked like a huge mountain floating in the air.
There are many dome-shaped exquisite buildings built on the empty mountain. The unified feature of these buildings is that they have no doors. The windows of all buildings have huge terraces extending out. A group of winged warriors with white wings are flying in the sky. The whole cloud
The city is also full of prosperity.
Suldak felt a little dizzy after just two glances. The best way to appreciate this kind of ceiling mural is to lie on the ground.
“Karl, do you think there really is such a gorgeous city in the sky?” Surdak gently pushed Karl from behind and asked him.
A female magician wearing a black and white striped consecrated magic robe happened to pass by the three of them. Seeing the shocked expression on Surdak's face, she couldn't help but smile. She walked away holding a stack of magic books.
In a hurry, he walked into a room and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Karl raised his head and followed Suldak's gaze at the colorful paintings on the top of the sky dome, and was also very shocked.
“Of course, it’s just that these winged people left the Roland continent a long time ago, and few people can see the winged people now.” Karl said seriously.
“Lance, have you seen the Winged Human Race?” Suldak slowed down and asked the magician Lance who was leading the way.
When Lance came to this level, the expression on his face became much more serious than usual. He paused slightly and replied: "No, but there is a Winged Human Wing preserved in Scholar Ferdinand's laboratory. If you have a chance, you can
You can go and have a good look."
When passing a glass window, Surdak took the opportunity to look out the window. He had a panoramic view of the entire wealthy area. There was still a lot of snow on the roofs of those gorgeous buildings. The Knight Academy was in this land where every inch of land was precious.
The rich area occupies a large area of land. Whether it is the riding training ground behind or the playground in front of the teaching building, they all look very empty. Surdak can confirm at a glance that it is the Knight Academy of Helensa City.
The three of them passed by a stone wall with embossed statues. They happened to see three normally functioning magic portals standing beside the wall. There were three magicians guarding each of these three magic doors. They wore magic robes with hoods.
, standing motionless in front of the magic portal? If it weren't for Suldak approaching, seeing their faces hidden under their hoods, they would have thought that these were the three statues.
Several magicians gathered in front of a stone platform, bending over the stone platform to fill in the form carefully. Lance walked over and greeted the group of magicians familiarly. These magicians all wore on their chests a symbol of the law enforcement of the magic union.
The emblem of the regiment? The pattern of the emblem is a magic book and a wand placed at both ends of a scale.
Lance took Karl and Suldak away, and Karl curiously asked: "Lance, what are they doing?"
“These magicians are going through the teleportation procedures.” Lance seemed to be used to these things and answered casually.
Karl looked at the three magic portals with very eager eyes. He asked Lance: "Are these three portals open to the public?"
Lance spread his hands, with a proud expression unique to magicians on his face. He spread his hands and said: "How is it possible! Only people in the magic union have the right to use it, and a transmission is expensive? Of course, if there is a magic union,
The right to use it granted by the chief or the head of the law enforcement group? You can also borrow it temporarily."
The expression on Lance's face was somewhat unbeatable.
“Do you need to pay a fee to use these magic portals?” Carl asked Lance curiously.
“Of course!” Lance nodded.
“How expensive can it be?”
Lance pondered for a moment before saying to Karl: "For us magicians? Each transmission costs five to ten magic crystals! As for the nobles in Helensa City, I don't know."
"I'm afraid I won't have the financial ability to use the teleportation gate here before inheriting the family territory..." After listening to this, Karl immediately said that his current financial ability could not afford such an expensive teleportation fee, and then said with some yearning:
"I heard that the Green Empire has a teleportation hall with dozens of teleportation gates. You can use the teleportation gate to enter the main city of any province in the empire."
A strong magical halo emanates from the magic door. Those magic streams are like flowing mist. These magic streams are bound by some kind of power to form a magic door.
The laboratory of the head of the law enforcement team, Gerald the Archmage, is located in the room on the left side of the portal. After Lance stepped forward to explain his purpose, the three of them waited outside the door for a short while.
Only then did the magic assistant Ms. Meme invite the three of them into the great magician Gerald's room.
It was a circular room. The bookshelves against the walls were almost ten meters high. All the bookshelves were filled with magic books. The great magician Gerald was leaning on the book table, holding a magnifying glass.
Looking at a magic pattern array, the cover of the magic book was pitch black. Surdak felt that it looked somewhat similar to the one in his magic pocket. There was a strange shadow element surrounding the entire magic book.
breath.
Seeing the three Lancers walk in, the great magician Gerald put down the work at hand and looked at Karl and Suldak.
Karl told the great magician Gerald that Samoa was not dead, and that the one who was burned to death by the fireball technique might just be Samoa's stand-in. After hearing the autopsy process, the great magician Gerald nodded slightly.
, without any expression of surprise, he just rang the bell and called Ms. Meimi in from outside.
“Memi, go and invite the two magicians, Elbert and Brewer.” The great magician Gerald ordered.
“Okay, Lord Gerald.” Ms. Meme walked out immediately.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Two young magicians stood at the door and said respectfully: "Great magician Gerald, are you looking for us?"
The great magician Gerald signaled the two of them to come in, pointed at Suldak and Karl and said: "These two are knights from the guard camp. They came here specially to inform us that the body of Samoa is
Fake, the real Samoa is still at large, can you briefly tell me how you hunted down Samoa last night?"
“Of course, Grand Magician Gerald.” The two magicians looked at each other and replied.
"The thing is like this..." Two magicians asked Karl for details of the matter. Samoa's whereabouts were exposed in Christie's Castle. After leaving, she fell into the surveillance sight of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group. The Magic Union Law Enforcement Group
Two magicians chased Samoa for nearly half a night, and finally blocked Samoa in the alley 19-2 of Helensa City. Both sides used magic, and finally the magic from the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group
Division Elbert used a fireball to burn Samoa to death. Samoa did not choose to escape during the whole process.
After listening to the descriptions of the two magicians, Karl and Suldak naturally couldn't figure out what was going on.
Finally, the great magician Gerald said: "...Okay! Our magic union law enforcement team will pay close attention to this matter. If there is any news about Samoa in the guard camp, please come to us in time."
Contact our law enforcement team in time."
The two magicians stood up to leave, and Lance took the opportunity to leave with Karl and Suldak.
Lance sent Carl and Suldak away from the tightly guarded top floor of the Magic Guild. While climbing the stairs, he explained to the two that this was not the first time that this situation had happened to the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Group. There was a substitute technique in black magic.
It can cause the illusion of death of the target, and some necromancers can refine puppets to achieve the same purpose.
The Black Magic Monastery has a complete set of substitute techniques. This kind of evil black magic requires a special medium to be used. It is a taboo magic clearly stipulated by the Magic Guild.
Karl and Suldak left the Magic Guild and rode back to the guard camp.
…
Suldak walked into the prison of the guard camp and found that there was only one long corridor. On both sides of the corridor were some cells separated by iron fences. This prison was more than ten meters underground. In the winter, it actually felt like
It wasn't as cold as outside, but it was dark and damp inside the prison. After standing at the prison door for a short while, Suldak felt a cold and cold atmosphere surrounding his body, as if it wanted to get into the seams of his bones.
He showed the guard camp badge to the guard guarding the prison door and took out the access voucher specially signed by Captain Sauron. Only then was the guard allowed to enter the guard camp prison.
With his keen sense of magic, Surdak only felt that the prison was filled with a gloomy death aura. Under such a strong death aura, Surdak felt that it might not be too peaceful here. The mottled walls inside the prison
The walls were covered with dark purple moss, and there were some wooden crosses and other holy objects that could dispel the aura of death hung on the walls, but it seemed that these wooden holy objects were almost rotten and about to grow mushrooms.
The top of the corridor was filled with white spider webs, and the walls of some cells were stained with blood, but we did not see how many prisoners were held in this prison.
Occasionally, there would be a prisoner in a cell with a dull expression. When he saw Surdak walking by, he didn't react at all. This reminded Surdak of the singer he saw in the morgue in the morning.
Theater manager Levi, I heard that he had been imprisoned in a guard camp for nearly a month. He was so thin that he almost lost his face, and his body was hunched when he walked. He already had a lot of painful memories.
Suldak walked in the prison for almost a quarter of an hour. When he was almost at the end, he saw Baron Grenfell tied to a huge wooden cross in the room facing the cloister, with heavy shackles hanging on his body.
, wearing a blood-stained linen shirt and trousers, with his bare feet tied to a cross. In just over a week, Baron Grenfell looked even more miserable than a homeless man on the street.
Standing in front of Grenfell, Suldak stopped. The only time he saw Baron Grenfell was in the opera house.
At that time, Suldak was hiding in the box on the second floor of the Opera House, while Baron Grenfell was sitting in the hall on the first floor, surrounded by many familiar nobles. Whether entering or leaving, Grenfell
Baron Er is always busy saying hello. His reputation in the aristocratic circle has always been very good, but no one thought that he actually colluded with the Black Magic Monastery and maintained a powerful group of robbers. This year
In the summer, three noble manors were massacred in succession.
None of the nobles thought that the mastermind behind the bandit group was actually Baron Grenfell. After the investigation came to light, the noble circle in Helensa City was almost in an uproar.
"Baron Grenfell, do you want to see me?" Suldak asked the embarrassed Baron in front of him.
The man hanging on the wooden cross opened his eyes with difficulty. It seemed that he had not received the treatment that a death row prisoner should have.
“I finally see you, Knight Suldak...” Grenfell’s eyes were filled with deathly silence, and his voice was extremely weak.
But it was like a flashback. After seeing Surdak, a flush appeared on his pale face. He stared at Surdak with his eyes and said, "I have been speculating about sabotaging our series of actions."
Who is behind the plan, including intercepting Taylor on the way, and rescuing Hoyle must also be related to you. The dark red knight beside me followed some clues and traced them to the deserted land outside the Paglos Pass, and was never able to do so again.
Returning, I just want to know if he died in your hands?"
Suldak stood there calmly and did not answer.
Silence is the answer.
The last glimmer of hope in Baron Grenfell's eyes was gone. His eyes became empty and lifeless. Perhaps he had died in the spiritual world at this moment.
After being silent for a while, Suldak felt that he should still explain. After all, he had not joined the guard camp at that time. He should at least explain his motivation for taking action. So he pondered for a while before saying: "...The bandit leader was there at that time.
On the way, they robbed me of the ironware I bought for the village."
“Cough cough cough…”
The only sound that arrived was the violent coughing of Baron Grenfell.
Suldak finally couldn't help but ask: "Now that I have answered your question, I also have a question to ask you. What are you looking for?"
Baron Grenfell did not answer this question, only said: "I will take this secret to my grave, but you don't have to be too anxious, someone will definitely tell you the answer."
In fact, there was no need for him to come to see Baron Grenfell. Although he knew that Baron Grenfell would definitely not tell him, he still gave it a try with a sense of luck.
…”
Unable to get an answer from Baron Grenfell, Suldak could only sigh softly, turned around and left the prison without saying a word. To the baron who was about to be pushed to the guillotine, Suldak was really convinced.
There's nothing to say.
When I walked out of the prison, there was already light snow falling in the sky outside.
The cold north wind mixed with snowflakes fell on Surdak's face, and there was no bone-deep coldness in the prison that made people shiver.
