After stepping out of the door of the small hotel, Sharp's figure shattered like a bubble and disappeared into the thick night. Old Green did not look back and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you ready to accept his mission?"
"Whether we accept it in the end or not, the most important issue at the moment is that it is no longer safe here and we must move immediately." Douglas looked serious.
Fernando also woke up with a start and muttered: "It is up to those old men to decide whether to accept this mission or not. All we can do is leave here, and we will have to establish another communication transfer place later."
This is an obvious problem. Even if the union agrees to take over the task of assassinating Alfonso and establishes a good private cooperative relationship with the big nobles represented by Sharp, it will not expose the communication relay station that is very important to the entire organization.
In their sight, if communication is needed, it is better to maintain a smaller and one-way channel, such as Old Green to shoulder this task.
In this matter, carelessness will only mean that the organization is not far from destruction!
Then, Fernando, worried that the wall had ears, said to Douglas and Old Green through a telepathic connection: "See you at the underwater ruins of Lake Lamorag."
"Okay, you go first. I have to leave some secret notes to warn the mages who come during this time." Old Green looked around the lobby of the small hotel, with obvious sighs and reluctance in his tone, as if he was forced to leave.
The home that I had worked so hard to manage for decades had to move away.
Fernando sneered: "This shabby place will be lost if it is lost. What is there to regret?"
"Actually, this is a 'family business' that my great-grandfather started running." Old Green said in a calm tone, without any anger, as if he was recounting someone else's affairs.
Fernando was stunned for a moment, looked down at his toes, then raised his head, looked at the wine cabinet behind Old Green with a pair of bright red eyes and said: "Maybe this hotel will be saved, you are a knight of the sky.
, has good relations with many nobles, which may come in handy in the future, but there will not be so many magicians here anymore..."
He rambled on for a long time.
"Get out of here, you bad-tempered boy! I don't need your sympathy!" Old Green suddenly swore, interrupting Fernando's words.
Fernando's face turned slightly red and he snorted: "I sympathize with the black-clawed dog, but I won't sympathize with you, an old man who is half lying in the cemetery!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Old Green raised his chin, motioning for Douglas to follow him, and at the same time he laughed: "Don't necromancers often say that lying in the cemetery is the beginning of life?"
"What do those stinking rotting corpses know about life?" Fernando said without looking back.
"You brat, you're not even a fraction of my age, do you know what life is?" Old Green said, "No sign of weakness."
In Douglas' slightly helpless eyes, the two of them continued to quarrel until Fernando walked out of the door and blended into the night.
…………
Under the starlight, the lakes are shining brightly, with rippling waves, peaceful and quiet, and there are many such lakes, scattered on the earth like scattered pearls, connected into a string of dreamy necklaces.
"It is indeed the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes'..." Douglas, floating on the lake, said with admiration, and took a deep breath of fresh air with a light smell of fresh water.
Fernando was a little surprised and said: "Do you know the 'Land of Thousand Lakes'?"
"Of course, its reputation has spread to Antiphore with the coming and going of magicians." Douglas chuckled.
"What's so good about this..." Fernando muttered in a low voice without any aesthetic taste, and then said, "This is Lake Lamorag, please follow me."
Douglas looked at the lake and found that it was not big. Some people believed it was a giant puddle, but could such a small lake have underwater ruins?
The two cast spells, fell into the water, and quickly sank to the bottom of the lake amid the rippling waves.
Fernando noticed Douglas's strangeness and explained in the spiritual connection: "I don't know which idiot magician built it. Maybe he wanted to connect the entire Land of Thousand Lakes. However, because of his idiocy,
This ruin has not been discovered, and the church cannot imagine that there are ruins under such a small lake with no resources."
There is a small cave hidden under a huge rock. It does not look like it was opened for humans, but more like the nest of some aquatic creatures.
Fernando directly vaporized the form and got in. Douglas did not hesitate and followed suit.
After passing through the winding and narrow "pipe", Douglas found himself in a palace, where many magicians were coming and going. He was quite alert to their arrival, but when he saw Fernando's familiar handsome face
After that, they all turned their heads and were busy with their own affairs, such as exchanging alchemy materials, magic books, and asking others to refine items.
Among them, a high-level magician directly cast magic to check whether Fernando was transformed or disguised by someone else. In this regard, the magicians known as "sewer rats" were much more vigilant than the Inquisition, because those who were not vigilant enough
, are all dead, or have "learned" "vigilance" at a high price.
"This place feels a bit like a gathering place for magicians..." Douglas said with a sigh of relief.
"Douglas, Fernando, you came just in time. The president knows what happened just now and asks you to go see him." Roland, who had escaped early under the cover of Fernando, jogged over.
"This is the headquarters of the union?" Douglas was a little surprised. Fernando hadn't mentioned it before.
Fernando also felt strange: "The president is here?"
"Yeah." Roland nodded and looked Fernando up and down, "It's good that you're fine. The president was planning to meet Douglas here and hold a core meeting, but something happened at the Grilled Fish Hotel..."
It seems that they are still wary of me and haven't let me know the location of the headquarters so quickly... Douglas thought to himself, but he never dwelled on such small issues and nodded generously: "Roland, please take us to see Mr. President.
."
"The stupid mission they gave..." Fernando followed Douglas and cursed quickly.
After passing through a corridor paved with stone bricks, a hall full of strange patterns appeared at the end. A vigorous old man with white beard and hair strode out to greet him. He chuckled and said: "Welcome to join our magician union."
Guild, Douglas, you are an extremely outstanding magician. Your research on curves and irregular shapes has gone before us. If I have the opportunity, I hope to ask you for advice."
Douglas was slightly startled. Arnold, the president of the Magician United Union, also knew that he was studying "flow numbers"?
"Flow number" was the initial name he gave to the part of mathematics he studied, but he increasingly felt that this name was not appropriate and planned to change it.
Douglas's surprise did not last long, and he soon realized that his exchanges with Fernando in the past few days had probably been watched by Arnold. He even decided to hold the core meeting a few days later, perhaps in order to have time to "observe"
"Own.
It is indeed not easy to become the leader of a relatively large magic organization!
"The research of many great magicians in the past has inspired me." Douglas said humbly.
Arnold had few wrinkles and a rosy face. He pointed at Douglas and smiled: "Don't be modest. If you can succeed in research, then the difficulty of learning and constructing all magic will be greatly reduced. This will bring us a better future."
Things! Okay, let's not discuss this today. We will mainly talk about the tasks given by the 'Dark Blue Demon'. By the way, this is Rigg, you have seen it. This is Ramon and Veronica, they are all from the union.
Vice president."
He introduced the few people who came with him, including Rigg, who had many wrinkles and a hooked nose, Ramon, who was tall and thin with a horse face, and Ramon, who had blond hair pulled up high and green eyes like gems.
Veronica, they all wore typical Magic Empire robes, gloomy and deep.
After Douglas greeted them one by one, he smiled at a young man with brown hair next to Arnold: "Garros, long time no see."
The young man's hair was neatly parted to both sides, and his high collar reached his head. He had a cynical smile on his face: "I really didn't expect you to be able to raid the tribunal. This is Fernando's style."
He is Garros who introduced Douglas to the Magician United Union, a friend of Fernando and Roland, a student of Arnold, and a sixth-ring high-level mage.
"Humph, are you envious?" Fernando said without any loss.
Garros laughed, his black eyes looking at his toes, and did not answer, because the president, Anold, began to ask: "What do you think of the mission entrusted by the 'Dark Blue Demon'?"
Roland, who led the way, quietly exited the palace and closed the door.
Rigg said gloomily: "He just used this mission to warn us, there is no need to dwell on this issue."
"But what if we can really accomplish it? Will he really take us seriously and cooperate with us initially?" Ramon had a long face and objected to Rigg's opinion.
"First of all, we must be able to complete it!" Rigg and Veronica said at the same time, the words were different, but the meaning was the same.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and even Fernando did not dare to boast that Alfonso was not difficult to kill. After all, the union was currently being watched by the "Heart of Time" Ctonia.
Arnold seemed very satisfied with the situation. The smile on his face remained unchanged, and he coughed twice and said, "It's not like we have no chance to complete this mission."
"President, don't be joking!" Rigg said seriously.
"It is indeed impossible to rely solely on our own strength, but what if there are other magic organizations to cooperate? They have not received the attention of the 'Heart of Time'." Arnold seemed to have a good temper and smiled, and then everyone spoke.
He continued, "I have been busy contacting other magic organizations during this period, and I have achieved certain results. I have invited many magic organizations to 'Arlinge' to discuss cooperation issues, so I will
Today's meeting is scheduled here, not at the headquarters, because 'Arlinge' is also near Rentat."
He kind of explained why he didn't take Douglas to the headquarters.
"President, are you sure you can convince those organizations to cooperate?" Veronica pointed to the core of the problem.
Arnold smiled slyly, like an old fox: "If they know that we have joined forces with the deputy leader of the 'Sword of Truth' Knights - the 'Dark Blue Demon', they will definitely be willing to cooperate with us to complete this task and contact the nobles.
Countering the church is not a strategy that only we can come up with."
"When did we cooperate with the 'Dark Blue Demon'?" Even Ramon expressed confusion this time.
Arnold chuckled and said: "After joining other organizations to complete the task of assassinating Alfonso, he should pay attention to our strength."
Fernando twitched the corners of his mouth, the president is so treacherous!
"Which organizations are coming to 'Aringe' this time?" Rigg thought for a moment, and asked cautiously without dwelling on the mission.
Arnold nodded: "Don't worry, the organizations I invited are all weaker than us, not legendary organizations like 'Palmeira's Cabin', 'Death Scythe' and 'Dance of Confusion'. Among them
It is worth noting that there are one or two nine-ring mages in the 'Red Eye', 'Soul Supreme', 'Shadow Singer' and 'Tower of Destroyer', and there are more than ten or twenty ordinary organizations without nine-ring mages.

"When the time comes, it will be me, Douglas and Fernando who will participate." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
