"Your name is Muen. The old man looked down and smiled slightly at the boy, "Why did you come back here?"

"I have a friend among the captured ones, and I hope he will come back alive, so I have come to ask you. ”

When the old man heard this, he looked up at the adjudicator who had brought him over, and the other party understood and delivered the paperwork handed by Mu En to the old man's hand.

Glancing at it, the old man showed a clear expression on his face, and said slowly: "This is unusual, the letter said, you already have some ideas about this matter, maybe you can help us solve this matter faster?"

"I do have some ideas, but I can't guarantee that they're correct. ”

"Normally, you shouldn't be involved in such a big event—although you must be the future pillar of the Empire, after all, you are still young and immature. But—do you know who is vouching for you on this letter?"

Mu En shook his head, he didn't read the letter, but because of that reply. The miscellaneous signatures were too much for him to recognize.

"It's the deputy tower master of the Northeast Town Tower, a well-known grandmaster with great vision. It's hard to believe. The old man raised the thin paper in his hand, with a smile on his face, but the emotion in his eyes was still unwavering. It's not indifference, but a peace that seems to come from the soul.

"So what did you decide?"

"I don't care about it, because your idea is useless just with my consent. The old man's finger holding the letter flicked, and the letter was returned the way it came, Mu En could feel the wisps of magic that were controlled very precisely, but he still couldn't feel any signs of surging in the old man's own circuit in front of him.

"Why do you say that?" Mu En was a little curious.

"A total of five archmages have appeared in this incident, and such an incident cannot be solved by just a small character like me. ”

"That ......"

"We're just scouts, and finding the rat's nest without alerting each other is the end of the mission. ”

"So it's not you who will be responsible for the rescue at that time?"

"Hmm...... I think what you said is a bit wrong, our adjudicator's combat forces have never aimed at rescue, and when the time comes, it is the representatives of each family who will be responsible for the rescue, and we are only responsible for killing those who stand on the opposite side of the empire. When the time comes, they will claim their own offspring and then hand it over to the adjudicator's legal department to take away for a security assessment. ”

"So I can follow you and go into the stronghold to claim it?"

"Yes, you need a security deposit. ”

"Don't you have to go alone for the assessment?"

"That's a security deposit as well. ”

"Okay. Mu En took a step back, because he knew that it didn't make sense to reason with the adjudicator, "How much does the security deposit cost." ”

"A hundred crystal discs. The old man's words were still calm......

But Mu Enke won't be like that.

"What?!You're robbing! I see, you're not bullshit at all, it's just life money. Mu En's angry jump, 10,000 gold coins may not sound like much, but you must know that in the lower echelons of the empire, a person may not be able to earn so many gold coins in his life.

The adjudicator beside Mu En heard Mu En's words, and the magic circuit turned into a deterrent to him.

"What the hell are you a great magician showing to me here?!" Mu En felt the magic surge next to him and suddenly felt very angry, so he condensed a handful of everything through in an instant, so that the great magician didn't even have time to react.

Muen, who has returned to his normal state, is at this stage to condense all things and penetrate even faster than Karna, who has blooming.

The spear pointed against the Adjudicator's Adam's apple, and the scorching thunder and lightning seemed to be ready to "kiss" the man in black in front of him.

"Don't get excited. The old man said, and reversely guided the thunder spear that did not use the secret method of the Heavenly Instant Netherworld back into Mu En's circuit, and this process only showed less than twenty percent of the loss, and did not cause Mu En any discomfort.

Muen's circuit is very special and may be incomprehensible to mages of the same age and level, but advanced mages may also find this circuit very strange, but they can quickly unwind the operation mode and retrace it with a fully lit circuit.

Of course, there is a big premise for this, that Mu En did not use the Instant Netherworld, because the Skylight Netherworld will not be guided and restricted by magic.

"You go down first. The old man said to the adjudicator who was apprehensive.

When the adjudicator left, the old man rubbed his hands together like an ordinary old man.

He walked to the chair and sat down, thought about how to explain it, and then said to Mu En: "This guarantee is not to guarantee the life of the rescued, but to ensure that the people who come to participate in the rescue will not be the same party of the evil magician. ”

Mu En sneered, "This logic is still very strange, isn't there a rich person among the evil magicians?"

"Of course, it's just an excuse. After all, the adjudicators are not only unpopular among the people, because of the vicious incident of the defection of the previous adjudicator, we are not welcomed in the royal family, the budget is reduced, and there is always some way to make money. The old man didn't seem to care about saying such a slightly embarrassing thing, and told Mu En the reason very clearly.

"What about the nobles who are unwilling or unable to hand over so much money?" "Aristocracy is a symbol of political status, and it is not possible to rely on titles to measure whether they have money, but many people have formed a certain mindset. For example, when Medanzo first took over the province, he understood his father's suffering, and in order to maintain face, almost all the surplus money had to be rewarded to maintain the "dignity" that matched the title , It's not so much dignity as vanity, but no matter what method is used to explain this matter, Medanzo can only be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing, and basically has no savings at all, but many corrupt officials under his hands are much more nourishing than him, but after several years of vigorous rectification, when Tavasis came to Aldan Province that night, he can also be regarded as a person with surplus food, but still if his meditation is transparent and open to the outside world, most people will not feel that it matches his title.

Moreover, this is still a nobleman with a fief, and many nobles who are not in the imperial capital and do not have a fief are very sloppy, because if they are not good at management, their descendants may soon squander their family property.

In general, such nobles were not regarded as real aristocrats, and they were called "honorary nobles" in high circles, and gradually the term became a kind of irony.

The old man spread his hands and said, "Then we can only regret this." ”

Mu En was silent, he didn't expect that someone would be so careless about human life, his eyes revealed incredible, and then gradually turned into anger.

"That's how the world is. The old man noticed the change in Mu En's mood, raised his eyebrows as if they would not change for ten thousand years, and said to him.

"That's just what you think. ”

The old man smiled, this time as if from the bottom of his heart. It seems to think of the past, it seems to be self-deprecating and it seems to be approving.

"What young man doesn't yearn for the sun? I used to be a teenager...... Only now it's dead wood in this dark corner. The old man stood up, seemed to look the young man up and down, and blessed: "I hope you can keep this emotion as long as possible." ”

Then the old man turned and walked over to the broken statue of the god, on which was a map of the old Ardan and the surrounding area.

"If you can help us find where the rats are hiding, you don't have to pay the money, and of course I can't guarantee that he will survive in the end. After all—whoever becomes a sorcerer must die. After the old man finished speaking, the light of magic began to surge, and the terrain of the various places on the map was magnified many times in the air, and nearly ten adjudicators with purple edges of crow feathers on their robes walked in outside the door. But it's still a little different from Jock's, and it should be the level of the squad leader.

"Tell me what you think, Muen. The old man turned around and made a gesture of please.

That night.

"Barton, what do we do now. Several Magister-level magicians landed next to Barton, whose lips had been blackened by blood, and all of them were bruised, and it seemed that they were really trying to restrain their desire to kill.

On the periphery of this circle, the appearance of the high-level magician and the great magician looked even more serious, but the abnormality of the body's fever should have been forcibly suppressed by some kind of medicine.

Compared to when they came, there are obviously a lot fewer people left.

"Have you caught all the targets?" Barton looked very calm, if he hadn't killed many people in this posture on the stairs just now, people would have mistaken him for a normal person.

"Fuck, I can only watch but not kill, and I may be beaten, which really annoys me. What kind of medicine do adults sell in their stomachs?" scolded a sorcerer.

"Don't talk nonsense, I ask you if you've caught them all. ”

"No, there's a crazy woman over there, I don't know how to get another fortress circle, it's too strong to get by. ”

"She's a target too?"

"yes, and there are several of them, should we do them together. ”

"It's been too long to take any more risks. Now you take the rest of the people and leave in five separate ways. ”

"What about you?"

"I still have some things to deal with, don't worry, I'll book a meeting at the place when the time comes. ”

"If you don't come by then......"

"Do you need me to say that?"

People are temporarily put into the space magic guide, but this time must not last long, otherwise people will suffocate in it, most of the magic guides are in a vacuum state, unless it is a person with a high level of knowledge of space magic can put living things into it, such as Diaxun who seemed to casually receive Mu En into the space crack that day.

Watching the others leave, Barton walked to a corner where a bloodied man leaned against the wall.

In fact, this time they were menacing, but the high-end combat power invested was not as much as the Imperial side imagined, in fact, as a high-level magician-level power, only Barton and another person who led the team outside the city to take care of it.

In contrast, the five archmages who had been transported into the city by means of temporary death had only temporarily appeared to disrupt the tide of battle.

Of course, if it is only the strength on the surface and these nobles, the chances of winning are undoubtedly very small, so they also brought a lot of "bombs" this time.

It is another sorcerer who has lost limbs in the past battles and has been damaged in battle, and has been refined into something similar to a disposable magic channel, which has lost its life but its flesh is still magically alive, so that the magic power can be preserved.

In the siege just now, most of the other magisters who came to surround him, except for the purple satin magister who only dared to use some carving insect skills in the distance, were killed in the explosion.

But this person is excepted.

As if sensing Barton's footsteps, the man, who seemed to be breathing less and breathless, lifted his eyes with great effort and looked at Barton with hatred.

Barton didn't care about this look, he squatted in front of the man and looked him directly into the eyes, stretched out his hand with a strong corrupting power and put it in front of him and asked, "You have already lost, your life is your own, there is no need to smear the liver and brain of others." So, now answer me, do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

"I—I'm a warrior of the Sleeping Lake family. The man who had pushed the cart for the old lady was already very weak, but it was clear from his haughty tone that he might have been defeated, but he never threw in the towel. Several times he tried to condense his magic to detonate his circuit, but he couldn't. His circuitry hadn't recovered from the shock he had just experienced from the mana riot, and was now buzzing.

Barton nodded, already knowing his choice.

"If it were someone else, I might still be able to convert you into a sorcerer, but I won't, I admire you. ”

After that, he suffocated all the man's vitality with his fist, but he allowed his soul fire to reincarnate and go.

Turning around, there was a god-of-war woman standing in the bright circle not far away, her aura was much lower than at the beginning, but what could be seen was that she would never fall down until the great array under her feet was shattered.

Barton stood on tiptoe, as if to look through the wall of people besieging it to see if the boy he cared about was there.

But after thinking about it for a while, I still gave up, and I wasn't too sure that I could defeat that woman. It's not worth dying here.

Therefore, he opened his circuit and absorbed the remaining corrupt power around him into his body as much as possible, which could help him practice. Finally, he looked at the lifeless body lying by the wall, silent.

In the battle just now, when Patton threw out the human bomb, when everyone knew that he would definitely not be able to escape the explosion range, but still subconsciously retreated. He desperately stood in front of everyone, unsheathed the carefully carved magic shield, and took all the damage of the first round of explosions.

Then, losing consciousness, he fell, but was held back by the gentle magic of the magister in the distance and did not fall to his death.

But the magister didn't do more, he immediately understood the danger of this battle, and although he still released magic in his hand, his figure was slowly retreating.

He ran away, but the others were not so lucky, because many people sensed the danger here and rushed to help, and there were four people in the front and back. All of them, including the Magister, who was still beautiful during the day, were dismembered by Barton in black light.

Then when he wanted to go back and deal with the man, he found that the man who was supposed to be unconscious had already woken up, because the magic circuit temporarily lost its effectiveness in the shock, so the man was fighting Barton simply with the strength of his limbs.

In the end, of course, Barton was thrown against the wall countless times, because of the double shock of body and magic, Barton thought that he should be dead, but found that the warrior's heart was still beating unyieldingly.

Even if he was covered in blood, even if he was confused.

"Why are you trying so hard? Is it because of that nonsense?"

Standing in front of the half-unconscious man, Barton thought of the so-called warrior's virtue, and did not laugh, but did not agree either.

In the end, life will die with the night wind and the flames of war. And Barton's figure disappeared with it.

After that, the sorcerer who was guarding in front of the tower was chased here, and the sorcerer in front of the Sea God Temple was killed on the spot by the preacher who had already spoken the law and had a bit of a saint's atmosphere.

In the middle of the night, everyone met in the hill outside the city, because there were also evil puppets in the city to attract the attention of the city defense, the evil magicians pretended to be fleeing residents and easily mixed out, several carriages were stolen, and the noble heirs inside had already been knocked unconscious.

At the meeting place, Barton came even faster than the others.

Then a group of people galloped through the field through the carriage and drove to the Dom Gobi.

"Why do you think they are going to the Dom Gobi?" asked the old man.

"Because the subconscious reaction of normal people when they encounter danger should be to seek shelter from the Sea God Temple or the Tower, even if it is really to escape, in a hurry, these five cars are too well prepared, and there are a lot of daily necessities and gold and silver things in them, the so-called too much, which exposes their horses. I don't know how they managed to suppress their corrupt aura, but I knew there must be something wrong with these five cars. ”

"But none of the five cars were found to be suspicious. ”

"There's a good chance they'll be able to put people in the space wizard when they clear the level. ”

"What about the mountain?"

"Once the tower magister arrives, the whole city will be under martial law, and the location of this mountain is not too far from the five doors they dug out, and if you go west on that mountain, you can escape to the Gobi without bypassing the surrounding cities. ”

The old man nodded, acknowledging Muen's reasoning ability, but stood up and asked one last question with a smile.

"Do you know how big the Doomgobi is?"
