Chapter 62: The Priest
Little Rand was tired all day, and after a few bites in the evening, he fell asleep in the guest room, and when he woke up the next day, his whole body hurt as if it had cracked. The common ailments of magicians were already evident in him at the age of twelve.
Harvey pushed the door and walked into Rand Jrand's room, who was already up, quickly lay down, closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.
Harvey didn't care, and after arranging for the innkeeper to put down the washing water and breakfast, he turned around and said, "Get up, wash and eat, we are about to go out of the city." And he departed.
Out of Little Rand's room, Harvey sat in the lobby of the inn, where a maid brought him a cup of morning tea.
"Thank you. Harvey woke up from his stupor, thanking the maid.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Magician. The maid did not expect that a noble magician would thank her, and was a little flattered.
Harvey took a shallow sip of the tea, but there was no taste in his mouth.
Last night, Rand Jrand went to sleep. Harvey, who was meditating in his room, heard a knock on the door.
The owner of the Sochi inn, Sochi walked in from outside the door.
"It is my pleasure to meet you, Lord Harvey. ”
Sochi saluted Harvey respectfully.
Harvey motioned for him to sit down, then asked, "How's it going, Sochi?"
"The day after I received the news from the headquarters, I spread the news that you had gone to Mount Kinabalu with a heavy gift. ”
Under the deliberate operation of Sochi, the news has been spreading, and the magic bachelors of the Magic Guild went to the sacred mountain with a heavy gift, and the people who heard the news were also in a situation where they didn't know whether it was true or not, but the matter involved the Wizards Guild and the Church of Light, which almost never dealt with, all of them were still in the mood to watch the excitement, and continued to talk while waiting for the truth of the matter
"You said in the message back to HQ that you received a letter to me?" Harvey had planned to visit Ollie in Julu City when he returned from Mount Kinabalu. But the heart Sochi received piqued his interest, and it was clear that the letter came from a strange one.
"Yes, Lord Harvey, I have brought you the letter. Sochi took the letter out of her body and handed it to Harvey.
Harvey took the letter, and there was nothing on the envelope except that it read "Harvey Neuer".
Open the envelope, and on the stationery it reads:
The Altar of Loss will eventually be opened, and the forgotten race will take revenge on all.
The Dragon's Prophecy is the key, and its owner will be reduced to ashes in black flames.
Await the end times, Harvey Neuer.

"What is it? Apocalyptic prophecy, threat letter, final payment zero or a circle?" Harvey didn't think it was a prank. Sochi is the newly appointed head of the Salala Province of the Adalant Empire after Piber took over the intelligence network, and he is also one of the few people who knows that Harvey is the big boss behind the scenes. The reason why this letter was chosen to be sent to Sochi must have been because he knew that Sochi would be able to hand it over to him.
"How did you get this letter?"
Harvey wanted to get some clues from the messenger.
"I don't know when the two letters were placed on the table in my study, but I found them ten days ago in the morning. "Sochi thought about starting with the material of the envelope, but the paper used in this envelope was too ordinary, and it was used everywhere in the continent, and the only thing that was certain was that only civilians used this kind of envelope.
"Look at the contents of this letter and tell me if you think there's credibility?" Harvey handed the letter to Sochi.
After he consulted with Fat Piber, Sochi was one of the main candidates to take over the intelligence network completely in the future. Obtaining intelligence, analyzing intelligenceSochi is much better than Harvey.
"Lord Harvey, I heard that you have been to the Mayan plateau to the north and the dark forests to the west. After reading it, Sochi looked up and asked Harvey.
"Yes, does it have anything to do with this letter?"
"If we analyze only the literal meaning of the letter itself, the message that we can see is that a race that lives with us on the continent has been deported to a certain place for some reason, and we may be the expulsors or the ones who stand by the sidelines. Over time, this race has been completely forgotten by us. And now, the letter tells us that in the near future, a lost altar will be started with the key of the Dragon's Prophecy, and that this forgotten race will return through the altar to take revenge on us. ”
"Well, what about the others?" Harvey was more concerned with meaning beyond words.
"There is not enough information, and there are a few issues that need to be investigated before I can draw conclusions. One is that the race has been expelled and forgotten. Then who found their message and wanted to release them? The second is where is this lost altar, and the third is the "Dragon's Prophecy" as the key, whose hands is it. Fourth, why do you call you a sage in the letter? ”
"I can tell you the third problem, the Dragon's Prophecy is in my possession, and it's a kind of magic that I can control, not a physical object. ”
"Is it magic? So Lord Harvey, do you know if anyone else might do this?"
Sochi's question is exactly what Harvey has been thinking about, after all, the Holy Eye is one of the abilities that the Pope of the Church of Light must master. However, the letter mentions the Dragon's Prophecy instead of the Holy Eye, so Harvey is left alone.
"The same magic exists, but it's called Dragon's Prophecy, and I'm probably the only one. ”
Sochi nodded, what he could be sure of now was that Harvey in front of him was the most important link in the beginning of this Lost Altar, and without the key, the other party could do nothing.
"This is the only clue I can provide, I am leaving tomorrow, I leave this letter to you, I hope you will investigate all doubts as soon as possible, and tell me the results yourself. Of course, I'll tell Piber to allow you to use all the people on the intelligence network to get information. However, no one should be allowed to reveal their identities during the process. ”
"Yes, Lord Harvey. ”
Sochi left, and Harvey did not immediately enter meditation, but simply sat on the edge of the bed and began to think about another question.
......
"Good morning, teacher!" Rand Jrand came to Harvey in a neatly dressed manner. His voice woke Harvey, who was in a daze.
"Very well, let's hit the road. Harvey didn't say anything, and left the Sochi Hotel with Rand Jrand and walked straight out of the city gates.
Taylor stood by the carriage early, quietly waiting for Harvey and Rand Jr.
And these mercenaries also sat under the trees on the side, staring at the carriage.
"Young Master, you're back. Taylor saw Harvey walk out of the gate with Rand Jr. and stepped forward.
"Taylor, yesterday.... ”
An inexplicable chill hit him, and Harvey suddenly felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him behind him at this moment.
"What did you say, young master?" asked Taylor, who didn't understand
"Oh, nothing, keep going with Rand you guys, I'll catch you up later. ”
The sudden spiritual power did not withdraw after being discovered by Harvey, but kept watching Harvey. Harvey knew that the master of this spiritual power was not provoking, and was waiting for himself to talk to him.
"Yes. Taylor took Rand Jrand behind Harvey back to the carriage, and Rand Jrand was starting to be a little curious about Harvey at the moment, and he wanted to know what he was doing when Harvey disappeared from yesterday to now.
After Taylor settled Rand Jr., he beckoned the mercenaries to move on with him. Meticulously executed what Harvey said, and he didn't even have any doubts in his heart. After all, he has been a butler for Harvey for a long time, and he understands the character of his young master. As far as he knew, Harvey had always hated trouble, and anyone who came to him except for Delise would be turned away by him, and Piber and Binglai had been closed a few times. So, now that Harvey is leaving suddenly, there must be something that has to happen.
"Come out, friend. ”
Harvey followed his psychic power to a small mountain stream, and it was clear that the owner had brought him here step by step.
"Hello, Lord Harvey. ”
A middle-aged man dressed in an ordinary priest's robe appeared standing behind Harvey.
