Nikolai finished reporting to Evgeny and left the hall alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoHalfway down the stone steps, Nikolai walked into the lodging area. Along the way, there are constantly elemental envoys who bow down to Nikolai or say hello. Nikolai responded with a smile, always looking approachable.

Nikolai walked to the door of his own small building. He saw his squire standing guard at the door. The attendant bowed down and took the initiative to greet Nikolai: "Teacher, one of your distant relatives has sent a letter. The person who delivered the letter said that the matter was urgent. So I'll wait here for you. ”

Nikolai nodded. He and his attendants had just returned from a foreign country. Nikolai took the letter and thanked him: "Thank you for your hard work! Didn't you let you rest a long time ago?

The attendant explained honestly: "How can I trespass into the teacher's bedroom? ”

Nikolai approved. The attendant departed and walked towards the distant house.

Nikolai walked into the small building and lit the candles in the living room. The candle is specially made and is as bright as a small table lamp. Nikolai opened the envelope and pulled out the stationery.

The envelope is unsealed with wax and is naturally slightly open. I don't know if the attendants and others have checked the letter inside. Nikolai didn't care for a moment.

Nikolai quickly skimmed through the contents of the stationery. A very ordinary letter of worship is nothing more than revisiting the old friendship. According to the content of the letter, this distant relative is really far enough from Nikolai's blood relationship. The two met a few times when they were young.

Nikolai has received several such greetings before and after. As he became an elder in the temple, strange distant relatives came to his door.

Nikolai basically finished reading the old love described in the prayer post. He frowned, unable to remember the existence of this distant relative in his memory. Nikolai was about to throw away the letter when his eyes widened. He stared at the signature at the end of the letter.

Underneath the signature, there is a dot of ink. It is as if the writer accidentally dripped the ink, which naturally formed a strange pattern. The pattern is not pitch black, but there are several slender branches, intersecting each other.

The ink dots are smaller and the color is lighter. Most people will ignore it, but Nikolai remembers it vividly. Nikolai had seen similar ink spots. It was a letter left by Du Shen when he left suddenly four years ago. At the end of the letter, Du Shen did not leave a signature, but a similar ink spot.

At the beginning, because the letter left by Du Shen did not have a clear farewell, the content was strange, and there was no signature. Nikolai didn't pay much attention to it and threw it aside. Later, Du Shen disappeared, and the temple could not be found. Nikolai didn't think of Du Shen's letter for a while.

That is until the Templars learn that the Shadow Keep is in the southeast, in a vain attempt to establish a wizarding kingdom. One day, Nikolai suddenly remembered the letter left by Du Shen. In addition to the horror, Nikolai searched back and forth, and finally turned Du Shen's letter out of the corner of the document.

Why did Nikolai suddenly remember Du Shen's letter in horror? Because Du Shen had already explained in a cryptic way in his letter that there would be descendants of Shadow Castle to establish a wizard kingdom in the wasteland in the southeast.

Nikolai attached great importance to Du Shen's letter. With the passage of time, Nikolai found that the events described by Du Shen in his letter seemed to be able to reflect reality.

For example, this paragraph in the letter: In the rich country of the East, the old king died violently, and the prince competed for power. The real crown prince came from the flames and cleaned up the mountains and rivers.

In hindsight, Nikolai thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Du Shen was talking about the situation in the Kingdom of Lane and Howard Lane, the illegitimate son of the former King Lane.

Du Shen's letter also includes: The flying city ravages the territory of light, promoting the prestige of false gods.

Obviously, Du Shen drove the Floating City through the Kingdom of Middle-earth, promoting the name of the Lich King along the way.

There are also seven keys in the letter, gathering in the depths of the grassland. The calamities of the past open the door and return to the land of the Northeast. Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

Now, isn't this a description of Ayala's reappearance?

There are three other descriptions in the letter, which make Nikolai particularly puzzled and apprehensive. These three descriptions have nothing to do with Du Shen. However, Nikolai noticed that there were exactly three things that were not big or small that matched Du Shen's description.

As a result, as time passed, Nikolai became more and more confused and valued by Du Shen's letter. In the past year, Nikolai has taken out Du Shen's letters every once in a while to figure it out.

Now, a relative who doesn't know whether it's true or false has sent a message of worship. When Nikolai saw the ink spots under the signature, it was no wonder that he immediately remembered Du Shen.

Puzzled, Nikolai naturally took out Du Shen's letter four years ago and compared it. Because of the importance of leaving letters, Nikolai has always carried letters with him in storage rings for nearly two years.

By the bright light of the candles, Nikolai contrasted and soon found that the ink spots on the signatures of the two letters were identical. Nikolai again compared the handwriting. The post was obviously ghostwritten by someone else, which was very different from Du Shen's handwriting four years ago.

Nikolai wondered, "Is it Du Shen who wants to see me?" Nikolai couldn't help but look at the address at the end of the prayer post. That's a normal hotel in Greentown.

At this time, it had been several days since the Azure Temple and the Rock Temple were attacked by Du Shen. In order to prevent a possible sneak attack, Green City has recalled many elemental envoys. This is also the reason why Nikolai hurriedly returned to debrief.

At this time, Flame Mountain and Green City were at least very dangerous, not to mention heavily guarded. Nikolai didn't believe that Du Shen would come in person. However, as long as the person who sent the message was related to Du Shen, Nikolai speculated that the other party would not wait too long in the hotel.

Nikolai was really curious about the letter that Du Shen left four years ago. Nikolai thought a little. He believed that going out at this time should not arouse the suspicion of the temple. So, even though it was dark at night, Nikolai immediately left the building and walked down the Flame Mountain.

At the mountain gate, Nikolai met a team of elemental envoys on duty.

In view of the heavy casualties of the Azure and Rock Temples in the past few days, the Flame Sanctuary has repeatedly ordered to strengthen its defenses, and it is inevitable that there will be rumors. The elemental envoy who guards the mountain gate greets Nikolai on the one hand, and asks Nikolai why he went out on the other hand.

Nikolai was not offended, and kindly explained the reason. The Elemental Envoys neither dared to delve into it, nor did they care too much. They sent Nikolai away.

Nikolai walked to the city and wandered around. He easily dodged the patrolling city guards. He found a secluded corner, disguised himself slightly, and then went to the inn mentioned in the prayer post.

The meeting place was a separate courtyard in the hotel. Nikolai did not alarm anyone and climbed over the wall. No sooner had Nikolai landed than a young man emerged from the shadows.

The man spread his hands to show no hostility: "Your Excellency, my master has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me. ”

Nikolai nodded and calmly followed the man into the main house. The man stood at the door of the bedroom in the depths of the main house and stretched out his hand to guide: "Your Excellency, please come in." There was only my master inside. ”

Nikolai nodded, pushed open the hidden door, and entered. Nikolai saw at a glance that Du Shen was sitting in the depths of the room.

There was a slight grinding sound, and the man outside the door closed the door.

"Teacher," Du Shen got up and greeted Nikolai happily and enthusiastically, "After four years, we will finally meet again!"

"Don't call me teacher," Nikolai turned sideways, coldly stretched out his palm, and refused from a distance, "I can't afford it." Not to mention that you have betrayed the Temple, we are not friends or foes. With your strength and power today, I can't afford to be your teacher. ”

Du Shen stopped slowly, still enthusiastic: "After all, the teacher once taught me knowledge. I'm really glad that the teacher still remembers the secret mark I left four years ago. Originally, I thought the teacher wouldn't be able to find ......."

"Alright," Nikolai urged coldly, "let's get down to business!

Du Shen stretched out his hand to invite and pointed to the nearby sofa: "Teacher, please sit down." I heard that you were in a hurry to get back to the temple? Have you had dinner? I have prepared some desserts and drinks. ”

Nikolai looked at it, and sure enough, on a low table in the middle of a circle of sofas, there were several plates of snacks and two bottles of fruit wine. Nikolai didn't have any emotion, shook his head and said, "Don't be hypocritical! If you don't explain your true purpose, I will have to call out for help and attract all the elemental envoys." ”

Regarding Nikolai's threat, Du Shen was unimpressed. He smiled helplessly: "Okay." Teacher, I guess you remember what I wrote in the letter I left four years ago, and although I deliberately vaguely described it, you should be able to understand it today?"

Nikolai groaned, and suddenly sneered: "You are so bold! Four years ago, you left your plan of action for several years. I really regret not cracking your plan sooner. If I had known about your plan, if it had been announced, the temple would not have suffered such a terrible loss!"

Seeing that Nikolai seemed to show remorse and self-blame, Du Shen could barely hold back his laughter. He smiled and said, "Teacher, let's be honest and honest! Do you really just think that the letter I left behind is just a plan of action?"

Nikolai was expressionless: "It's not a plan?

"Do you really think so," Du Shen shook his head, "Teacher, do you think that in this world, is there anyone who can see the future?"

Nikolai was stunned for a moment, and retorted contemptuously: "Ridiculous! How can anyone in this world be able to see the future?
