The negotiations ended up in the side nave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Charlotte, Sylvia, and even the troublesome Lolita all said they couldn't get used to the overly enthusiastic dinner at the Molten Iron Castle.

Obviously, Lloyd, who can become the king of the Molten Iron Castle, is not a fool who does not know how to read words and feelings, so after repeatedly confirming that Icewind Castle and his party are not interested in attending the dinner, he arranged another banquet and arranged a few people in the side hall.

With Teklin and Loren by their side, this solo dinner didn't seem awkward.

Lloyd and Charlotte touted each other's kingdoms about their glorious history, then listened to Teklin introduce the various cuisines at the dinner party, and finally got to the point.

Lloyd said solemnly, "Presumably, with the wisdom of the mage of the inner ring of Icewind Castle, he has long heard of the evil and cruelty of the Drow Elves. Master Charlotte, to tell you the truth, the power of the city of Futarazi is growing stronger, and the Molten Iron Keep, which once maintained stability in this area, is in a difficult situation. ”

The King of the Molten Iron Castle finally told the truth.

Although there was peace in the Molten Iron Keep, it was clear that the situation was not as rosy as Teklin had said from the fact that he had gone down to collect war supplies and the wounded of the Guards when he first landed at the Molten Iron Keep. And that guy who was full of nonsense, until yesterday fooled himself that the Molten Iron Castle was going to win.

Charlotte glared at Teklin, who touched the back of her head with an embarrassed expression. As for how much acting skills there are, it's all up to Charlotte to figure it out herself.

"So, I hope that Master Charlotte will invite the Icewind Castle Mage community to help me and others fight against the evil Drow Elves. Lloyd threw out the bait, "Of course, since it's an alliance, I naturally won't let my allies suffer." We are willing to sign a ten-year trade contract to provide a large number of magic gems for each other's use at an affordable price. ”

To be reasonable, the content of this contract is really good. But long before she arrived, Sylvia explained to herself why Icewind Castle would never take the initiative to participate in the war except to defend the northern frontier. Therefore, Charlotte can only regretfully decline.

"I'm sorry. In fact, King Lloyd may have misunderstood me, and although I am a master of the inner ring of Icewind Castle, I am not a significant figure. I alone could not influence the decisions of the Parliament, and since the San Lorenzo Empire was in an eventful time, Dema and Dinah would not be involved in a war thousands of miles away at such an extraordinary time. ”

"I think you've misunderstood something, Master Charlotte!" Lloyd interjected anxiously before Charlotte could finish, "I don't want Icewind Castle to go all out to fight, you're the Master of Icewind's Inner Ring, and as far as I know, each Master has its own independent mage tower. I mean, you can call on the casters who are studying in your Master's Tower to help us, and the conditions we offer remain the same. ”

The Master Tower is not only a symbol of honor and strength, but also a place for masters to study and teach their apprentices, but also a place for those who have no formal instructors to communicate and learn. And every mage who studied there had a semi-contractual relationship with the owner of the mage tower.

The Mage Tower Master provides opportunities for wandering mages to go further, and they must serve the Tower Master in their time of need. Lloyd had this idea, knowing that it would be foolish to want Icewind Castle to go all out, but being able to get the full assistance of a mage tower would also be of great help to Molten Iron Castle.

And it really made a big deal out of it, and he had the confidence to drag the small half of Icewind Castle into the water.

"I'm sorry, King Lloyd. Charlotte smiled wryly and shook her head, "I appreciate the importance you take of me, but I'm not yet 23 years old. In fact, it's unknown whether or not my Mage Tower will ever be completed. ”

Lloyd, Teklin, and Loraine froze.

Just as Charlotte cannot tell the true age of a dwarf by his face, it is difficult for a dwarf to tell the true age of a mage, especially a master mage, from his face.

The powerful have a way to change their faces, and although they can't stop death, they can stop the erosion of their faces by time.

The three of them always thought that Charlotte was at least in her forties today, and how could a master in his forties accumulate a lot of network resources.

But when they heard Charlotte's real age, in addition to shock, it was regret. A twenty-two-year-old master, no matter how talented he is, is unlikely to accumulate too many contacts.

The asymmetry of information made Lloyd give up his initial idea, he didn't know the true identities of Charlotte and Sylvia, otherwise he would have been angry and scolded his mother at this time.

"That's a shame. Lloyd had to shake his head regretfully.

"Then I wonder if the deal will still go as planned?" Charlotte looked at Teklin.

Despite the low mood, trading good magical raw materials for finished spell equipment is still indispensable for the Molten Iron Castle that is trying to improve its strength to meet the great war.

Lloyd nodded, "Of course!"

Lloyd was not involved in the rest of the deal, and Charlotte argued with Teklin and Lorrain about the list of trades and the price. In the end, Charlotte, who completed the deal, took the opportunity to inquire about the city of Fortarazi in the tone of an interested person.

From Teklin and Lorain, Charlotte learns that the city of Vortalazie was founded by a group of drow elves who had been purged in the rebellion, who had come to the area about a hundred or forty years ago and established themselves after several encounters with the Molten Iron Keep.

There are a total of seven ruling families in the city of Futarazi, and the first mother is Felix of the family of Futarazi. It is said that this person is a Shadow Priest of the Nine Rings level, and is not only powerful, but also has the terrifying power to command the shadow creatures.

"Command the Shadow Creature?" Charlotte asked Loland deliberately.

"That's right, command the Shadow Creatures!" Lorain replied affirmatively, being careful not to mention Alvira's name, "so we suspect that she is the Shadow Queen's chosen one, which is why the Thundering King's confidence is low." ”

"Maybe it's an artifact that gives her that power, and it's not the Shadow Queen who has taken a fancy to her. Charlotte was tempting.

"Then I don't know. ”

Such information is sufficient.

If Charlotte was only suspicious at first, now she is almost 80% sure that the artifact Alvira's Eye is in the city of Futarazi, the drow elves.

Because one of the powers of the Eye of Alvira is to command the shadow creatures!

The artifact that has been searched for for two years is finally traced, which means that Charlotte's analysis technique is about to have a major breakthrough.

The young master suppressed his excitement and said goodbye to everyone in the Molten Iron Castle, perhaps it would be a good decision to capture the artifact in the Great War, but it is still uncertain whether there really is an artifact in the city of Futarazi.

What's more, Charlotte herself doesn't want to participate in this war with no result, he just wants to low-key find out where the artifact is, steal it, and then return to Icewind Castle to complete his research safely, that's all!

With anticipation, Icewind Castle and his party hit the road again. This time, they plan to make a low-key trip to the northern city of Futarazi to find out if the matron named Felix really owns the legendary shadow artifact, the Eye of Alvira.
