Sincalves, a slave kingdom at the northern end of the Ulandi continent, has occupied the entire continent for more than a thousand years under the tyrannical rule of the Vahn people who have no little fingers.

Ten years ago, Shaldas, a Crowe with a stout tail, led a revolt against the enslaved, forcing Sincalves to the northern tip of the continent and establishing a rival southern dynasty, Laptug.

Today, the sun is shining, and in a castle somewhere in the heart of the Northern Kingdom, the chief magical minister of Sincalves, Thornz, is hunched at his desk, planning to use the slave's body for some dark magical experiment.

"This aberration drug, perhaps injected intramuscularly, is more effective than taking it orally. He took a note and muttered to himself. Although each hand has only four fingers, the posture of holding the pen is no different from that of an earthling.

Inadvertently, a breeze blew, and a chaotic sound sounded in his ears that he had never heard before.

"Archmage Thornz. The voice called his name.

The unsuspecting Thornz was so shocked that his hair stood on end, the barrel of the pen slipped from his hand, and his eyes involuntarily scanned left and right.

There was no human presence in the room, but the voice sounded so close that it sounded like someone was standing above me and speaking.

Hey, could it be that it's a sound transmission spell, and the protective barrier around the castle has failed? Thornz thought to himself.

After all, he is the chief mage, and he has seen the world, so he calmed down in a moment, and asked with a little anger in his calm and leisurely manner:

"Who dare to be so presumptuous and trespass into the mansion of an important minister of the state, what do you want?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Thornz, but I have no ill intentions. This visit is to invite you to my residence to discuss one of my latest research spells, the Thousand Miles Telephonic Peep. ”

"You and I have never met, so how can I stoop down to visit you?" said Thornz.

"That's not true, maybe you've also discovered that my spell can ignore the protective barriers set up around your castle and room, and, Mr. Thornz, the most important thing about this spell is not sound transmission, but peeping, I can even see a few indescribable pictures of you and the queen hidden in the secret pavilion of your study, how about it, are you interested?"

Thornz propped up the table in horror, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and his legs trembling slightly. He clicked on the secret cabinet monitor on the desktop, and a few photos were still lying there quietly.

Those photos were taken when he seduced the queen, in order to blackmail the queen when he was desperate and use her power to protect himself.

If the king saw it, I would be ruined, and I would end up dead.

Thornzton was horrified, could it be that there was a thief in the house? No, if that was the case, the thief could have stolen the photo and threatened him with it.

So, the owner of this voice really just wanted to communicate spells with me, and was just showing his power?

The secret of fate is known to him, now is not the time to take into account his status and status, what can he do to visit? Maybe the other party is just a "lame" mage who studies this kind of spell, and wants to carry forward the secondary spell through my influence, and he can also go down in history because of this, hum, naïve, after I finish my studies, I will kill you and kill you, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone!

Thornz's expression returned to composure, and he smiled and said:

"Where is Your Excellency?, I suddenly thought that this spell might be helpful in the war with the inferior people of the South, and changed my mind, hoping to visit Your Excellency, and I am sorry for the arrogant attitude just now. ”

"They're all people who study magic, and they don't need to apologize. The voice replied, "I am currently in the remains of an ancient castle in the dense forest at the foot of the second highest mountain in the Garragon Mountains in the western part of the continent, waiting for my visit." ”

"The second peak is Frost Ridge, and I have a convenient portal nearby, so I can get there in fifteen minutes. With that, Thornz left his desk and went to retrieve his hat from the wall.

"Before I left, I had something to ask for. The voice of chaos said suddenly

"What's the matter?" Thornz stopped as he walked towards the teleportation room.

"I hope that after my husband arrives here, he will temporarily cut off contact with the outside world, and I am worried about ......"

"Worried that a third party will eavesdrop on our conversations? Don't worry, in order to show my sincerity, I will use a spell to isolate all information, and no one will disturb me. Thornz smiled contemptuously, it was exactly what he wanted, he didn't want to get a call suddenly in the middle of a killing, it would be very disappointing.

"Thank you. The voice gradually dissipated ethereally.

Thornz opened the door of the teleportation room, and the old butler was busy overhauling the equipment inside, and when he saw the master coming, he immediately bowed and asked:

"Master, where are you going?"

"It's a very important task, if someone is looking for it, just say I'm going to retreat and practice for a few days. With that, Thornz disappeared into the portal.

In the study, Thornz's pets, two giant sleeping dog-headed bats hanging upside down, woke up suddenly, as if they had heard some command, and one of them flew to the desk, picked up a seal, and flew out the window.

The other flew to his master's dark cabinet switch from memory, held the vase with his winged hands, and twisted it slightly.

Dala~Dala~Dala......

The door to the dark attic hidden behind the bookcase slowly opened, and it crawled along the wall, took out a few beautiful photographs, and then moved to the study window, and flew away from the castle with its wings.

............

In a secret camp in the northeastern part of the continent of Ulandi, next to the Swamp of Teminas, dozens of heavily armed Vahn warriors are closely guarding a house made of isolation materials.

This is where Nora, the princess of the Southern Kingdom, is imprisoned.

Captain Buniel was leaning his back against the wall of the house, digging his nostrils in boredom.

Suddenly, the sound of chaos came, and Buniel's tiger body shook, and his nails almost punctured the nasal mucosa.

"Captain of the Guard, I'm Archmage Thornz, I'm conducting a remote transmission to you, the hostage's hiding place has been discovered by the enemy, please escort it to the eastern giant wreck beach immediately, I have sent someone to pick it up, and the hostage will be sent to a safer place. ”

"Lord Thornz?" Bunier stood up suddenly, there was a jamming facility nearby, I am afraid that only the strongest magician in the kingdom, Thornz, could transmit the voice in, it should not be a disguise from others, but he still asked critically in the spirit of vigilance as a guard, "Why does your voice sound different from usual?"

"I'm in retreat to study the Great Spell, and during this time, the magical energy in my body is very disordered, which has led to this phenomenon. You can do as I say, my pet will send me my personal seal immediately, if you are really not at ease, you can call my housekeeper. ”

Bunier nodded, instructed his subordinates to call the Archmage's Mansion, and then said respectfully: "I'm sorry, Lord Thornz, it's not that I don't believe you, in fact, it's okay to see your seal, but to be on the safe side, I still have to call and ask." ”

"No problem, I can't be too cautious. The voice replied.

Thornz is the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Princess Nora, and how this matter is arranged has to be according to his words, and Buniel, as his loyal lackey, has always obeyed his words.

The scream pierced the sky, and a giant dog-headed bat with a wingspan of more than two meters landed next to the camp, it spread its claws and handed a scarlet seal to the guard, and the guard presented it to Bunier, the captain of the guard picked up the seal and looked at it carefully, then looked at the big bat that fed on people, nodded and whispered:

"It's really Lord Thornz......"

Another guard stepped forward to report: "Captain of the guard, I just called the Archmage's mansion, and Mr. Butler said that the Archmage is currently in retreat and it is inconvenient to entertain guests. ”

"Good. Bunier nodded in agreement, then looked at the sky and said, "Lord Thornz, I will start transferring the hostages, and I won't keep you waiting!"

"That's the best. ”

As soon as the words fell, Bunier noticed that the discomfort of being stared at was gone.

Inside the house, Princess Nora was sitting on the edge of the bed, playing with her tail.

"Girl. ”

Nora nodded imperceptibly.

"Later, the Vahn outside will hand you over to the Vahn forces disguised by the Kroe, and if you see someone familiar inside, don't get too excited to avoid being noticed by the enemy. ”

Nora immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, oh my God! I'm going to be saved? What tricks did this man use? It's incredible!

"Remember!" the voice faded away.

Thousands of kilometers away, aboard the Laptug starship carrier, Shaldas was wandering anxiously from the observation deck.

It's been a whole day, and the mysterious voice still hasn't ....... ”

"Wait, Shardas. ”

The king choked on the middle of his sentence, and he coughed a few times, and after composure, he said:

"You're finally here, and what about the help you promised?"

"Now immediately send a detachment of men, disguised as the Vahn army, and make a detour from the eastern seas to the Colossal Beach in Sincalves, where you can pick up your daughter, be careful not to reveal your true identity. ”

Shaldas's mouth opened wide, and after a few seconds he relented, "I still can't fully believe you, what if it's a trap?"

"Believe it or not, there's only one chance to save your daughter. ”

Shaldas leaned on the armrest, pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and summoned the guards on the side to order:

"Let the agents in the first group, the second group, come to me immediately. ”

"Yes!" the guard bowed, turning away from the lookout.

............

In the ruins of an ancient castle at the foot of Frost Paint Mountain, a figure wearing a brown cloak walks through it.

"Welcome to my palace, Mr. Thornz. The voice of chaos rang out.

"Why don't you show up when you know I'm coming?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Thornz, I'm still on my way, and I didn't expect you to come so quickly, forgive me for my negligence. But even if we don't meet face-to-face, we can have a discussion, right?"

Thornz bowed his head and muttered for a moment, "That's true, but you'd better show up quickly." ”

"Okay, I'll rush back at full speed, before that, let's discuss the introductory method of exploring the thousand-mile sound peep 'If you want to see the world clearly, you must first examine yourself. ’”

Thornz's "What do you mean by that?" was about to blurt out, but he thought that such a rash question would lose his status as an archmage, so he pretended to be an instant realization, and sat down on the steps to meditate.

............

20 minutes later.

At Giant Wreck Beach, the hostage transfer is complete, and Nora sits aboard Laptugue's ship.

After flying away from Sincalves' airspace at full speed, the agents shouted excitedly from the cabin, took off their forged Vahn uniforms, danced and celebrated the princess's return, and immediately reported the good news to the king.

"Congratulations, you're ready to go home. Nora's reassuring voice rang in her ears.

"Thank you, sir, I don't even know how to repay you!" said Nora, with her hands in her heart, with tears in her eyes.

"Can you tell me your name?" Nora thought for a moment and then changed her words, "No, someone as powerful as you would never show up by your real name, can you please tell me your honorific name?"

After a moment of silence, the voice slowly spoke:

"Call me as,

Prophet. ”
