Act XVIII

"Huh? Seems a little weird. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Karen-Amadeus came to this conclusion after manipulating his own demon detectives to scout the surroundings.

Andorhar itself does have a certain concentration of elemental distribution, but it is only close to the level of Isrul, but now she perceives that it is several times the concentration of elements in Isrul.

This means that mages can use their magic at will, without fear of running out of mana, and the Heroic Spirits will be more destructive in their battles, which is something that the Crown War avoids as much as possible.

Moreover, Karen repeated it several times, and finally confirmed that her contact with the family was broken for some reason.

The heirs of a large family like them usually leave some indelible traces on their bodies in case of accidents, and the elders can also use this to know their movements.

And that connection, just before, was literally severed.

Could it be that the crown war has suffered a change?

Karin thought that at this time, in the sky, a snowy owl hovered and landed beside her.

This is also one of her demons, responsible for monitoring and observing the northern hills, which are a must in every crown war because of their commanding heights, so Karen also set up hidden eyeliner there to try to obtain first-hand information.

With a soft expression, Karen stretched out her hand, and in the palm of her hand was some dry food, which attracted the snowy owl to peck at her, and at the same time made a cooing sound, as if she was talking to Kalian.

Only then does Karene look like a girl of her age.

Soon, though, a slight look of surprise appeared on her face.

"The two sides fought, Langton was victorious, and there was ...... Gruul was killed?"

Either of these two pieces of news was quite shocking for Karen.

"That guy's heroic spirit is very strong, not in the ordinary sense of the word, but in the sense of strength, but something else. ”

At this time, from Karen's side, a man in white showed his figure.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Karen immediately changed back to her original cold appearance, and the snowy owls around her seemed to sense her changes, fluttering their wings and flying into the sky.

"Do you mean the assassin, or the summoner dead?"

His frivolous appearance really made Karen a little dissatisfied, but soon, the other party put away that posture and showed a serious expression.

"Killing the summoner without being sanctioned, and the fact that the connection with the main plane has been severed, it seems that this war has encountered some accidents. ”

"I can guess all of this, tell me what I don't know. ”

Karen shook her head, telling her Heroic Spirit to stop selling her soul.

"I think it may have been caused by one of the Heroic Spirits who fought this time. ”

Shrugging, the man looked at the side of the ruins.

"A certain Heroic Spirit?"

Before Karen could think deeply, she felt someone break into the defensive circle she had arranged.

"It's a guy who doesn't know what to do. ”

Immediately calling up the picture of magic weaving, Karen saw a young boy and a skeleton swordsman with a great sword in front of him.

"Is that them?"

......

After slaying the third skeleton, Lawson finally realized that he seemed to be in a terrible place.

It seemed like an ordinary ruin, but the flow of the elements seemed to have been deliberately disturbed, forming a certain order, and although they did not encounter a direct spell attack, there was no doubt that they should have broken into the defensive circle set up by some summoner.

"Is it really another Heroic Spirit?"

According to Langton, there are no other high-level beings in Andohar, only beasts and monsters that follow instinct, and usually, this place is blocked by spells, and no one can enter Andohar, so Lawson also ruled out the possibility of a third party committing crimes.

At this time, he happened to follow the other party's breath to a stronghold, which made it difficult for him not to doubt it.

"Shouldn't we be ready to come back ......?"

Langton hid behind Rosen, and said with some uneasiness that breaking into other people's strongholds often means declaring war, and he has no doubts about Rosen's strength after that battle, but just after the big battle, no matter who needs supplies and rest, just continue to fight, even skeletons that rely on magic power may not be able to eat.

"Do you want to make a hello appointment first and tell them we're coming?"

Rosen tilted his head slightly, and with a sword he shattered another skeleton that crawled up.

"That's it, intruder. ”

A clear voice came from above.

Langton looked up.

On the broken wall not far away, two people appeared.

It was a dark-blond man, dressed in a white trench coat, swaying in the afternoon breeze, and beside him stood another girl, none other than Karene Amadeus, whom Langton was quite familiar with.

"Is that you?"

Langton immediately had the idea of escaping, whether it was Karen herself or her Heroic Spirit, it seemed that they were not easy to mess with, and they were the ones they would never be able to fight with now.

"So, you were the one who killed the hapless lich?"

Lawson asked, pointing the wolf knight's greatsword at Karen.

"Isn't it the death hand of you who fought him?"

Karene asked rhetorically, the situation seemed to be a little different from what she knew, and she suddenly thought of something bad.

"Wait, how do you know we fought Gruul?"

Langton only heard the meaning of Karen's words at this time, and was a little puzzled.

"Listening to information is the most important part of the battle, don't tell me you don't even have a demon arrangement?"

Looking at Langton, Karene asked rhetorically, then nodded as if she understood something.

"But it's true, for you Langton, it may be very difficult to cultivate a demon. ”

"Uh......"

When it was said that it was a sore spot, Langton's face was a little ugly.

"Let's not mention that. ”

Karene seemed to understand something, and ended the conversation in a loud voice.

"It seems that it wasn't any of us who killed Gruul, but someone else. ”

"And they are also trying to blame you and lead us to come and fight you...... Are you trying to say that?"

At the same time, Rosen also understood the hidden message in the other party's words and deduced this conclusion.

"It seems that you are not a stupid person like your master. ”

Karen glanced at Lawson and spoke.

"Moreover, one thing I just discovered is that the connection between this plane and the main plane has been severed, and none of us can rely on conventional means to leave the battlefield, and the outside world cannot interfere here. ”

She said in a flat tone, sending a chill through Langton's back.

"In other words, in the current crown war, the lives of the summoners will not be guaranteed in any way, and they will even be attacked with higher priority. ”

"What ......"

Langton hurriedly checked the magical aura on his body, only to realize that he was indeed isolated in this half-plane, just as Karen said.

"In the face of such a situation, the victory or defeat of the crown war is actually not the highest priority at the moment. ”

Seeing Langton's behavior, Karen shook her head slightly, and continued.

"So, I, Karene Amadeus, propose here. ”

She said, holding out her right hand.

"How about the two of us joining forces to face this different situation together?"
