When the first ray of sunlight shone on Elder's small, unmarked carriage, Elder opened the curtains again and finally saw the towering magic towers of Syracuse appearing on the horizon.
He moved his painful buttocks, which were uncomfortable no matter how he moved them, and sighed deeply.
"I'm traveling late at night. I really can't stand the trouble."
He hammered his waist and smiled bitterly in his heart.
In order to get to Syracuse as soon as possible, Elder set off in the middle of the night with only two people and sat in the bumpy carriage all night.
Although there is a strong man escort, safety is not a problem as long as there is no ambush, but no matter how fierce the man is, he can't defeat nature. The road is not completely dry and the vision is extremely poor. In addition, the carriage only has a small headlight.
Being able to move forward at walking speed made him feel that his body, which was no longer young, was about to fall apart in the next moment.
Elder, who was hammering his waist, suddenly felt hairy all over his body, as if he was being spied on by something. He was startled, but didn't panic when he reacted - he had been here several times before, and knew that this was
The feeling of the monitoring spell on the magic tower sweeping over his body.
Although usually his feeling of magic is like a flickering light in the dark night - it seems to be there, but it seems not to be there. This kind of feeling that seems to be there and not there can be said for sure - it has no practical significance. He can't sense it.
, or there is only a very weak induction, but the energy intensity of this monitoring spell is too high.
He raised his head and looked at the magic tower that was covered by the mystery and always had the same appearance.
On the top floor of one of the magic towers, Savka, who had just completed his meditation, was facing a crystal ball as clear as a head, staring at the carriage that was moving towards him feebly, and felt
Something strange:
"Is there anything important that's worth traveling all night in this dark night? This should be Elder's carriage."
Because there is only one carriage coming from this direction, and after coming a few times, everyone almost knows this carriage.
Another voice was also full of confusion: "Indeed, are you planning to defect? Then let us in?"
"Let it in. I scanned it. There are only three people in the carriage, the driver and the guard. The weakest one in the carriage is probably Elder. He also asked them to stop in the square and notified the mage on duty to prepare for battle."
The carriage drove unimpeded and drove straight into the magic towers in Syracuse. As soon as it entered, one after another light detecting spells swept back and forth on the small carriage. The dense momentum seemed to have made a slight movement in the carriage. On the spot
You can slice the carriage directly.
Savka took a deep breath, activated his shield, and sequenced the three-piece set of flash counterattack spells. He made a gesture, and the closed door of the mage tower slowly opened. Facing the rising sun, he walked towards
Elder jumped off the carriage and left the carriage open.
After chatting for a while, Savka, who had secretly tested Elder and his party again, led him towards a magic tower.
As soon as he walked into the living room of the Magic Tower, the professional smile on Elder's face couldn't hold back. He didn't even wait to take a seat before he spoke very rudely: "The position and transaction conditions you proposed before.
, we accepted it completely. We have only one request now: the sooner the better!”
The first words about business made Savka, who was walking in front of him, almost stumble over his right foot. The merchant's little rudeness had long been forgotten:
Savka calmed down and released a mechanized mind on himself before turning around. He reached out and motioned for Elder to sit down: "Please sit down and let's talk slowly."
He waved his hand, and a water column rose from a beautiful crystal bottle, and fell steadily into the crystal cup next to him, which happened to catch the water column in unison. It was as accurate as a program.
This is also true.
Savka did all this completely subconsciously. His brain was running at high speed, analyzing this seemingly ordinary thing, but in fact there must be profound news hidden behind it:
There are only two possibilities for Elder's news:
1. Carkarte’s instructions.
Second, Kakarte died suddenly.
Safka believed that the possibility of Kerkart's sudden death could be ignored - the vitality of this guy's race was evident from Sanders's battle report.
A simple accident, assassination, or even a battle is unlikely to kill him. As long as he still has breath, crawls to a safe place, and has enough food to recover - even just water can guarantee his survival.
That can only be the instruction of Kerkart.
Everything must have a reason. For Kakarte to make such an order and agree to such conditions, there must be something important happening behind it.
"It can't be that Ulgrut is dead, right?"
Looking at Safka's expressionless face, Elder's eyes flashed with obvious anxiety. He picked up the water glass and tried to hide it by drinking water: "I'm still a little anxious. This
We can’t talk about things slowly.”
Putting down the water glass, Elder sighed: "Let me tell you the truth, let alone armor. If we can't buy weapons anymore, Ulgrut's defense will collapse!"
The defense of the veteran strongman Ulgrut is about to collapse!
"How is that possible?"
Upon hearing the terrible news, Safka's nerves, which had been forced to calm down, couldn't help but jump a few times.
"Why are you lying to me? Is it easy for me to persuade those giants with heads like stones to surrender? Really, half of the farmland has been delayed in spring plowing this year, and we don't know what to do in the future? But it doesn't matter! If you keep it
If we can't live, we won't have to eat anymore. Now we are short of everything and we need to buy everything, food, weapons, armor, farm tools, even iron ingots!"
Upon hearing the news, the mages on duty who gathered in front of the monitoring crystal ball in the living room out of curiosity jumped up in fright. From the crystal ball, it could be seen that the quiet blue light on Elder's body was still bright: Measurement
The lie spell proves that everything he just said is the truth.
The mages who all understood this looked at each other, and after confirming from the eyes of their companions that they had seen correctly, a whirlwind-like heated discussion suddenly broke out in this usually quiet space:
"What's going on!"
"No way! Ulgrut can't bear it anymore? Can a spellcaster who fights so fiercely and uses spells so hard not be able to bear it?"
This is a mage who doesn't care what happens to the west.
"No, those little bugs have been around for a long time. In previous years, they fought for so long and there was no change. How come they have evolved so fast during this period? Isn't this speed abnormal?"
This is the mage who knows a little bit about what's going on.
"Nonsense, a normal bug can be as tall as a three-story building, have six arms, and can dig holes and fight hand-to-hand with fire giant warriors?"
A mage thought for a while and suddenly raised his head:
"Anyway, if Ulgrut collapses and the bugs head east, it will be our turn next, right? Do you think we can handle it?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence around the crystal ball.
If the giants who are the best in hand-to-hand combat among common races are defeated, who would dare to boast that they can defeat such opponents with magic?
"So something must have happened during this time that we don't know about."
"You're right bullshit."
The shadow of destruction shrouded the hearts of these combat spellcasters, giving the discussions between them a hint of gunpowder. In the fierce debate, no one even cared about monitoring.
"Then what do you say is not nonsense!"
The fierce debate lasted for a while, and these hot-tempered spellcasters were about to roll up their sleeves and fight to distinguish right from wrong - thank God, they did not plan to use spells to fight. At the moment they were about to wave their fists, behind them,
The door was suddenly pushed open! Savka's figure was revealed!
"Enough!"
"One by one, we haven't even seen the face of the enemy. Is this going to cause internal strife? I asked you to fight on duty. Is this how you are on duty? Let's break up! I will report this matter to Xingdao!
