"It's really dangerous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

In a green jungle not far from the highlands, Leo was a little scared when he remembered the light words.

Of course, it is not that I am afraid of its power, but that I am afraid that I will be completely exposed.

Although the White Mystery Officer has a terrifying keen sense and is already suspicious, he should still have a chance to take advantage of it if he has not seen him in person.

It's just that the operation to rescue Alina, after this accident, I'm afraid it will become more difficult.

His eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the White Mystery Officer and the villager returned to the village of Bethes, the Golden Cult sent a team to explore the magical barrier of the mountains also returned.

After a few exchanges, Bai Zhiao's brows tightened.

"A magical barrier you've never seen before, and you can't even discern the elemental nature?"

"I'm sorry, but the power of that magic barrier is more esoteric than the elemental power, and with the current means of analysis..."

"What about the possibility of a breakthrough by force?"

"This... I've already tested the tolerance, but I'm afraid it won't work."

"Are there any traces of anyone else in the mountains?"

"Not at the moment."

The exploration team was helpless against the sudden appearance of the magic barrier, unable to even analyze it, and it was extremely difficult to destroy. At present, it seems that the only way to do this is to make a detour, and the process of getting to the ruins of Gaudun is more than twice as slow.

"Intensify the surveillance of the blasphemers and leave tomorrow morning."

The white mystery official pondered for a long time and said calmly.

"Yes." "Yes."

Several samurai believers nodded and returned to the group.

------

While the Golden Cult was busy in the village of Bethers and worried about the delay of the trip, Fei Wen and her party were deciphering the information of the main palace and the mercenary union.

"My lord, this is the last batch of materials."

A few knight-like guards walked over with a few documents in their hands.

Due to the undead battle, the main palace and the mercenary guild were damaged to varying degrees, especially the key documents in the main palace, which were buried under the rubble, and the knights struggled to find some intact information.

"Good work."

Vivien smiled and nodded, casually looking at Dubran beside her.

"Since it's a partnership, Taiyan City also has the right to know what is going on with the ruins of Gauduner."

Hearing Du Bolan's defense, he smiled slightly, and then summoned several scholars from the Second Court and the civil servants to interpret these documents together.

Among the dozen or so documents, many of them are information on the cooperation between the city lord and the mercenary union.

As the interpretation progresses, the full picture of the matter is fully revealed.

In July 173 of the Holy Calendar, two months after now, the mercenary group "Flying Parrots" found a corrupt black forest in the eastern part of the mountain region, with traces of ghouls.

In the same month of the same year, the mercenary guild issued a B-level crusade mission, the target was the black forest of the mountains, and the mercenary group "Gegefeng" and "Fantastic Adventurer" participated in the mission, but suffered heavy casualties, and informed the ghouls in the forest that there had been a mutation, and there was a cave in the deepest part of the forest, which should be the ghoul's lair.

A few days later, the heavily armed knights of the Knights of the Main Palace, together with the high-level mercenary "Strike Sword" and the Mage Tower of Taiyan City, carried out a sweep of the black forest, and successfully slaughtered the deformed ghoul horde, but did not find the so-called cave.

But after bringing back the corpse of the mutant ghoul for research, a strange black magic was discovered, which can parasitize on living beings and gradually grow.

At this point, there is a disconnect in the data.

In August 173 of the Holy Calendar, research on "black magic" made considerable progress, and the armor of the heavily armored knights was improved, but due to the lack of ghoul corpses, research was repeatedly stopped.

In the same month of the same year, the study of "black magic" was taken seriously, and a secret letter from a famous scholar of relics in the kingdom of Astaire even mentioned that the ruins of Gaudul might be in the mountains.

The letter clearly mentions that the famous ruins of Gaudul are not as simple as the burial place of the legendary mage of the second court, Gordoner Velpin, as the world knows.

In the year 152 of the Holy Calendar, as a fifth-level moon mage, Goduner Verpan was of noble birth, proficient in the magic of the gods, and was regarded as an idol by the mages of the Astaire Kingdom, but such a person was affected by "some kind of magic" during a secret operation.

Without anyone knowing, he hastily confessed the aftermath and brought the secret into the burial ground.

Although he was extremely incomprehensible about Golduner's sudden death, the royal family also supported the decision to bury him in secret, and the whole country mourned.

Later, it was revealed that "some kind of magic" was related to the power of the moon god, and the kingdom of Astaire was shaken, and the people of Gaudul Verpin were interrogated, but to no avail.

At the same time, the chief mage of the Second Court, Grace Verpin, reneged on her faith and fled as a blasphemost, shocking the kingdom of Astaire, and after a secret dispute, the two things came to an end.

However, these things, which have been buried for twenty years, are gradually being drawn out.

At the end of July 173 of the Holy Calendar, the research document on "black magic" in Taiyan Castle was passed on to the scholars of Astaire, and they discovered that "black magic" and the power of the moon god seemed to be inextricably linked, and the second court was overjoyed to receive the news and reported it to the royal family.

As a result, the news that the ruins of Gaudun are located in the mountains has gradually been obtained by various means by major forces.

At the end of August 173 of the Sacred Calendar, the lord of the castle and the chairman of the mercenaries secretly discussed the ruins of Gauduner, and decided to capture the ghouls near the mountains and conduct tests to determine the location of the mysterious cave.

A few days later, the location of the ruins of Gaudul was secured, and the document was sent to the royal family of Astaire.

At the beginning of September 173 of the Holy Calendar, the Mercenary Guild secretly issued the B-class mission "Capture Ghouls", which was taken over by the high-level mercenary group "Storm Lionheart" alone.

That's the end of the information.

Fei Wen and the others were a little silent, although most of the things were known to them, but they were not aware of these small actions in Taiyan City.

Dubolan kept his expression of surprise all the time, these extremely confidential contents were a little too shocking for him.

"Since the Second Court had already learned about the ruins of Gaudun in July, why did they wait until now to do so?"

Dubolan went through the documents again, sighed at the change in things, and asked suspiciously.

"It's not that simple, the opening of the ruins of Gaudun requires the 'blood of magic energy', and there are guards to protect it, and acting rashly without understanding the situation will only startle the snake, which will be counterproductive."

Fei Wen made a very old-fashioned look, lowered her voice, and said slowly.

"Still, that's what those old ghosts say, you know, they're so angry."

As soon as the words fell, Fei Wen spread her hands and said helplessly.

For a while, seeing Fei Wen's god-like performance, Du Bolan and his party, as well as the scholars and civil officials on the side, were also dumbfounded.

The only one who could call the elders of the Second Court old ghosts, and even devalue their deliberate decisions to worthless, was this young mage.

"Demonic blood?"

Dubran raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Speaking of which, Grace's granddaughter... this must be the old guy's ploy."

Fei Wen was stunned for a moment, did not answer Du Bolan's question, and suddenly remembered something, her expression was a little gloomy.

Strictly speaking, Alina Verpin is his cousin, but her strength is mediocre, and he has never been cared about.

A lot of the information obtained by the Luna Sect was actually deliberately released by the Second Palace, for example, through the Second Court Bracelet, the location of Alina was captured to attract the Luna Sect to go.

And the reason for this is to make the Moon God Cult mistake the blasphemous's "blasphemous blood" for the "blood of demonic energy", so that the second court can take the initiative in the ruins of Gauduner, and the chances of victory are a little greater.

Alina's departure, the Second Court certainly did not know nothing. It's just that Alina became a blasphemer and followed in her grandmother's footsteps, which made them both an accident and a surprise.

The second court doesn't want to pay much attention to the life or death of a blasphemer, and if it can be used, it will naturally be played by unscrupulous means.

"Mr. Fei Wen, come to think of it, this is the end of our relationship."

Seeing that Fei Wen was reluctant to say more, Du Bolan didn't ask more, and said calmly.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to cooperate, and I will send someone to guard Taiyan City and fulfill my promise."

Fevien nodded, then added.

"Alright, guard, gather your men and get ready to go."

Dubran politely thanked him, and then said to the knight behind him.

In Vivien's astonished gaze, the knight nodded and left the meeting place.

"Du Bolan, I said that the Second Palace doesn't need the help of Taiyan City, then it doesn't need it, and I will never break my word."

Fei Wen smiled and looked at Du Bolan, obviously he had taken Du Bolan's behavior as a gesture of goodwill.

"I think you may have some misunderstanding, Mr. Vivien."

Du Bolan bit the word "misunderstanding" very hard, and the other party was a little stunned.

"I'm bringing people together to help my leaders."

Seeing Fei Wen's stunned and slightly puzzled expression, Du Bolan smiled elegantly and said very easily, while spreading his hands.

"Leader?"

Fei Wen raised her eyebrows and looked at Du Bolan, her eyes full of surprise and a little curiosity.

"Dubolan Taiyan Keinst, now the lord of Taiyan City, is also--"

"-- One of Lord Leo's followers."

Dubran smiled with a little pride in his eyes.

"Leo..."

"Outside of Taiam City, the partnership doesn't work?"

Vivien silently muttered the name, then said lightly.

"As it should be."

Dubran nodded without the slightest surprise on his face.
