"Master Kodiak, a guest from outside has arrived."

Ta Ling's voice fell, and the air in front of Lin An and Master Kodiak rippled slightly, and a fog mirror formed by extracting water vapor from the surrounding air appeared in front of them, reflecting the situation on the wooden stack on the bank of the river.

Lin An was taken aback by the formation of the fog mirror, the distance was so close, Lin An could clearly perceive that there was not the slightest magic fluctuation on Master Kodiak's body, and then she noticed that this was the effect of the magic circle engraved in the magic tower itself, so she took back her surprise:

Of course, a mere fog mirror technique is nothing, but if it is an alchemy life casting, then it is already a completely advanced realm above the legend, and even Lin An suspects that the demigods may not be able to create alchemy beings that imitate real natural life and can cast spells.

After retracting his surprise, the Kodiak master beside him sighed.

Lin An turned his head to look at the fog mirror, he didn't notice anything at first, but when he saw the clear picture on the wooden stack in the fog mirror, he immediately knew that the gaze on the wooden stack before, I am afraid that it was from the peep of Master Kodiak.

Although Master Kodiak did not ask Lin An to avoid it, it was not polite to peek at the side like this, and Lin An only glanced at the fog mirror:

In the middle of the fog mirror was a woman wearing a cloak and hood, covering her whole body, she was plainly dressed, she was holding a cloak and bow tie in one hand, as if she was a little nervous, and took out a sign-like thing from her bosom and said something to the spell apprentice on the wooden stack.

Other than that, Lin An didn't see anything surprising.

As she thought to herself, she had heard Master Kodiak beside her say, "Let her in." ”

Taling Cassandra didn't respond, her face blurred slightly, and Lin An saw that the woman in the fog mirror was let go.

Master Kodiak waved his hand to make the fog mirror disappear, muttering something like "what are you doing with the sign...... and then said to Lin An: "Little girl, you wait here, I'm going to leave." ”

Lin An's appearance impressed Master Kodiak. Now is the time to be interested in her, for fear that Lin An will run away, and I have to tell her before leaving.

Lin An couldn't laugh or cry at his title, but it was no problem to call herself so based on the other party's age, of course she had no opinion on this, and only reminded Master Kodiak:

"Master, did you let Andre and them in first?"

The wall of the tower they came in has been restored to its original state, and it is no longer translucent, but the situation that you can see Andre and them outside the tower just now should not be a spell, but an effect of the material of the tower wall itself. Because Lin An didn't feel the spell fluctuation just now.

Master Kodiak had really forgotten about Andre and the others, and patted his head, "Oh. Little Andre, haven't they come in yet? ”

With another wave of his hand, a large hole appeared on the wall, wrapping the Andre siblings and Johann Angelia outside like flowing jelly, forming a large bubble flowing in the tower, and then the four of Andre appeared in the room where Lin An and Master Kodiak were. When he came out, he still had a blank look.

Master Kodiak also ignored the surprise of the four Andre at first sight, and casually dropped a sentence: "You guys play slowly." Then the body sank down, wrapped in a large bubble and went out of the tower.

……

Not to mention Lin An's complaining about Master Kodiak's boring game after seeing Lin An, after Master Kodiak left the magic tower, he flew out cross-legged in mid-air, and was about to fly out of the range of the six-pointed tower of the magic tower. A reminder of Taling Cassandra's tablet ringing in his ears:

"Kodiak, according to the rules of the Secret Method, the archmage on duty while on duty cannot leave the range of the Magic Tower's Hexagram Array."

Master Kodiak was stunned in mid-air. "Oops, this hell rule is so annoying, and Larry's hell old guys are too much, and they don't even stay at home......"

He babbled and complained, but still didn't fly out:

"Then let that little girl come here - the people of Adelaide are finally willing to pay their debts. Hopefully their request isn't too difficult...... What if they have to leave Crescent Continent at their request? Hey......"

Cassandra ignored the old man's sloquery, her will under the cover of a magical enchantment. Orders can be conveyed to any corner of the station without gaps, and by the time Master Kodiak uttered his request, he had already passed the order to the apprentice who led the way.

Master Kodiak stood at the edge of the tower without any master, waiting eagerly for the arrival of the woman with his identity token.

Tiffany's maid Ferriel had met Master Kodiak when she was at Adelaide's house, but she looked twice before she confirmed that the person who had personally greeted her, disguised as an official mage in a silver moon robe, was Master Kodiak.

She had only seen her from a distance before, and she didn't know the character of Master Kodiak, and when she saw the master personally greet her outside the tower, she couldn't help but feel a hint of flattered joy while being honestly afraid:

"Master Kodiak cares so much about tokens, and the request made by the young lady is not difficult for the master, and the master will definitely agree lightly!"

It was rude for her to come with a token on behalf of her as a maid, especially since the identity of Master Kodiak was very different from her, Ferriel was like a sludge under his feet, and the master might not have spoken to such a low-status person in his life.

Moreover, the origin of the token is a little unclear, I don't know if Master Kodiak recognizes it, Ferriel originally planned to kneel down as soon as they met to tell her grievances, no matter what, she must let the lady's purpose be achieved.

Madame has almost lost her life for this, and Ferriel must not let Madame pay such a big price in exchange for the opportunity to fail.

Unexpectedly, Master Kodiak didn't pay attention to Ferriel's words at all, and directly beckoned, and the token made of blue silver had already flown into his hand.

He glanced at it twice, and happily put the long-lost token into his arms, as if he let go of a big stone in his heart, and looked at Ferriel more pleasing to the eye, and went directly to the topic.

"I don't care how you got this token, and I don't care who your owner is - hurry up and say what you want!"

The token was indeed the one of the Adelaide family, but Ferriel's face was unfamiliar, and Master Kodiak was not completely unaware of the strangeness inside, but he had made up his mind that he would not hand the token back, so he did not ask in detail. Anyway, the default unspoken rule of this identity token is: recognize the card but not the person.

As for Ferriel's intention to kneel down and beg for something, if it weren't for this token, he wouldn't have bothered to bother with it—if it was the arrival of the head of the family or the son of the head of the main branch of Adelaide, he would probably have to deal with it patiently because of the relationship between the two sides for many years, and now this situation of a stranger's request for a license was what he liked the most.

Therefore, as soon as Ferriel's knees were bent, as soon as Master Kodiak raised his hand, Ferriel could no longer kneel, and the sorrow on her face was halfway there. Because of Beelzebub the Less, he was sincere.

Therefore, Master Kodiak showed a rare pity and said, "You can just say it. As long as it doesn't violate the agreement of the year, I will definitely do it. ”

"Please master arrest the person who killed our young master, extract her soul and refine it into a puppet, so that she will live in despair and pain forever, and never be able to get out!" Ferriel immediately gritted her teeth and said. The excitement was so distorted that Qingxiu's face was distorted.

"Oh, the little things!"

Master Kodiak didn't care when he heard this, and he didn't care about the hatred in Ferrier's mouth, and the debt he owed many years ago was finally paid, which made him feel good, and he asked kindly. "Who is the other party, you name her."

If the other party is not in the ban, maybe he doesn't have to leave the tower formation. You can use the magic tower to detain the other party's soul, and that's really a joy for everyone!

"Ann. Beautiful jade! That shameless woman! Ferriel didn't hesitate to say the name that she had been gritting her teeth for a long time.

"Oh...... Yes?! ”

Master Kodiak replied casually, and suddenly came to his senses, "What did you say?" Say it again! ”

Ferriel was a little frightened, and in her capacity she could take up Tiffany's request. It was already inconceivable to hold on in front of an archmage for so long. This is due to the fact that Master Kodiak does not follow the usual path, and usually does not have the frame of an archmage.

But even if the tiger doesn't stretch out its claws, the rabbit's instinctive fear of the strong at the top of the food chain is still there, and Master Kodiak just asked rhetorically, and Ferriel almost fell on his stomach.

As soon as a certain sphincter muscle in her lower body loosened, the liquid that had been accumulated for a long time in the tense state immediately leaked out of her body, and Ferriel only felt that the lower part of her body was warm to the ground, and a smell emanated from below, and quickly dissipated.

Master Kodiak was surprised by Ferriel's surprise, took a few steps back, and immediately isolated those smells with an air isolation hood, and then looked at Ferriel, who was so embarrassed and embarrassed on the ground that she couldn't raise her head, her eyes rolled and her face became full of disgust, and she shouted:

"Wow, you're disgusting! Kate! Kate! Don't come out quickly and throw her out! ”

As he spoke, he floated up, and flew backwards with a look of disgust, and as he was about to leave, Ferriel was startled, pleading, and crawling in the direction of Master Kodiak.

In the distance, a white-robed mage flew out of a dark black secondary tower, unable to hear the conversation between Master Kodiak and Ferriel, but Cassandra faithfully passed the order from Master Kodiak's shout to the mage Kate who was on duty.

Kate mage saw Feryl dragging a trail of water on the ground, and he was also disgusted, and he raised his staff to imprison Feryl with a continuous silence, and used the levitation technique to carry her outside the tower array, handed her to an apprentice to throw people out, and told him to go back and dispose of the remaining dirt on the ground.

The dignified mage actually wanted to deal with this kind of thing, and the senior mage apprentice was also unlucky, and after dealing with the dirt, he took Ferriel to the shore of the wooden stack and threw it away, and scolded the apprentice guarding the wooden stack:

"How are you on duty, any mess of people can be put in!"

……

When James Leonardo and Rodier arrived, they happened to see the senior apprentice returning by boat, and the apprentice who was scolded for guarding the wooden stack was scolding and throwing Ferriel out.

Leonardo and the others didn't care at first, and were about to let the squire and the apprentice negotiate, James was a mage who had been on the battlefield for many years, even if he was absent-minded, he still subconsciously retained his attention to the surrounding environment, and inadvertently glanced at the apprentice, and his eyes suddenly froze.

"Ferriel?"

James has not been allowed to go home these days, except for the residence of the secret law group, the most frequent ones are Bencent House and Fritz's home, Tiffany has been sticking to Fritz for the past few days, so that Fritz has almost no chance to find Lin An after returning to the imperial capital, and after meeting more, James naturally has an impression of this maid who follows Tiffany closely.

He walked towards Ferriel.

The apprentice had just untied Ferriel's confinement spell at this time. When Ferriel saw James's red robe, she was first surprised, then her eyes flashed with horror, and she struggled violently.

It's good that she doesn't struggle, and as soon as she struggles, James immediately confirmed her identity, after all, although he has seen Ferriel, but Ferriel's current appearance is not normal, unkempt appearance, I'm afraid that Mrs. Tiffany is here, and she will have to take a few more glances to recognize her.

"Apprentice. Put her down. ”

The apprentice turned around when he heard this, and Leonardo and the others, who were negotiating, and another apprentice also looked over, and then everyone smelled a smell of urine. Leonardo frowned, and Rodier took out a handkerchief to cover his nose.

"Old James, I've only been to the Ice Fields for ten years, and the taste has become so heavy!" Rodier didn't forget to taunt James in disgust, and then said in disgust. "Leave that woman away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Leonardo had already walked in the direction of Ferriel, and asked James, "Is she that Ferriel?" ”

Rodier listened to their inexplicable conversation, and of all of them, he was the least knowledgeable of all the insiders. But there was still a sense of observance, and one of the purposes of his follow-up was to see why James and Leonardo had hurried out of the city, and it was clear that the clues had now appeared.

No matter how noble Leonardo and Rodier are. The role at the gate of the Secret Order's residence is not as good as James's.

If there is another person, such as Rodier, who is here to point fingers at the gatekeeper apprentice of the Esoteric Order, the apprentice will probably ignore him - there are eight archmages in the Esoteric Order, and it is not the turn of the worldly magnates to run to the gate of the station to point fingers!

However, there is James, a disciple of Master Rally, one of the elders of the Arcane Order. As soon as he spoke, it was easy to solve it.

Ferriel's silence was lifted. Lying on the ground shivering with wolves, his hands and feet were as weak as mud and he didn't obey the command:

Leonardo Rodier doesn't remember a lady-in-waiting, but how could Ferrier, who often followed Lady Tiffany, not recognize these big names?

When James called out her name, she realized that the situation was not good, and she had no strength to think about Mrs. Tiffany's situation, and the fear of the incident after having the audacity to do such a thing finally exploded!

"Where's the token?"

As soon as he untied the spell on Ferriel's body, James immediately asked, Ferriel's teeth chattered and he couldn't answer at all, and Rodier was still unwilling to ask lonely, "What token?" Did you lose your token? ”

James ignored Rodiel, and seeing that Ferrier was obviously already in a state of being frightened crazy, coupled with the stench on her body, he guessed in his heart what she had experienced on the Crescent Continent, and said in a deep voice:

"What about tokens? Ferriel, look up at me! ”

The squire next to him kicked Ferriel.

Ferriel felt a pain in her waist, heard a low male voice in her ears, subconsciously raised her head, and her eyes met a pair of deep and bottomless blue eyes, which were blood-red, and her brain was in a trance, and her expression was dull.

"Ferriel, where's the token?" The distant male voice asked coldly.

"Token...... It was handed over to the master. Ferriel, who had long been discouraged, replied.

James's face froze when he heard this, Leonardo also frowned, glanced at James, and thought to himself, is it still a step too late?

Rodier was beside him, and he vaguely felt something from the "token" and "master" in the conversation.

"What did you ask of the Master?" James's gaze remained at Ferriel, his eyes glowing red.

"Kill her, drain her soul, and let Madame vent her hatred......"

Ferriel messily organized her vocabulary, and the words she uttered made the faces of those around her solemn, and James's voice tightened, "What about Master Lynn?" Where is she? "The steward of the Earl's Court said that Master Lin was sent by Master Kodiak to leave.

Ferriel looked dazed, "I don't know ......"

"Where's Master Kodiak?"

"He's back to the tower......"

James asked a few questions one after another, but Ferriel didn't have any valuable answers, obviously she didn't know that Lin An had arrived in Crescent Continent - but for Master Kodiak, as long as he fulfilled his promise, Ferriel was not qualified to let the master explain to her.

Judging from the situation where Ferriel was thrown out, the master was obviously unhappy with a maid bringing his own token token:

This involves the face of the strong, although it is the favor that Master Kodiak owes to the Adelaide family in his early years, but with the status and friendship of the two parties. It was disrespectful for the Adelaide family to bring tokens to a maid to fulfill their promises.

After asking, James dismantled the bewitchment, ignored Ferriel's half-dead situation, and handed her over to the guards who came with him, "Watch her, don't let her die, wait here." ”

Then James was going to take people to the Crescent Continent, and with his status and contribution, he couldn't bring all the dozens of people with him. But of course three or five were fine, so the three of them, including the dead-faced Rodier, each brought a personal guard. There are six people in total.

……

When the news of the arrival of James and the others asking to meet was conveyed by Cassandra, Master Kodiak was being overwhelmed by Andre, who immediately went berserk when he heard about the matter, and finally got out of the voice, and said in a loud voice:

"Invite them in,"

Then he grabbed a familiar name. Immediately make excuses, "Oh? Larry's old fellow's little Jaime is here, too, and I'm going to meet him too! ”

After speaking, he immediately went out of the tower and threw Andre and the others who were jumping crazy in the tower.

Then, before seeing James and his party, Cassandra came one after another with the news that the Marquis of Yot and Adelaide House were asking to meet, and the two families left the city. They happened to bump into each other in the wooden stack.

"Are you all coming to see me?"

Together with James's group earlier, this was already the fourth group of people who had asked to see him tonight, and Master Kodiak had a bad premonition. So I was in a bad mood when I saw James.

"What are you looking for me for? Don't talk about tokens! ”

――I'm annoyed by little Andre, and even the little Sheryl with the iceberg face has turned her face with him!

Among the countries of the Muse Continent, all the archmages and Golden Sword Saints are strong, regardless of nationality, and enjoy the status of the same grand duke in each country. Master Kodiak could have thrown a sentence at him, but the three of James could only salute before asking in a good voice:

"Did the master invite Master Lin? Where is she? ”

As long as the person is still there. A qiē good to discuss.

The Adelaide family is about to arrive, and they will never allow a married crazy daughter to do such a thing.

However, the token has already reached the Kodiak masters, which is a bit troublesome, and James understands the thinking logic of these masters:

It's one thing to have a good relationship with your family, but if you have the opportunity to repay your debts, you will never let it go.

Human favor can be said to be the greatest constraint on these strong people by secular magnates, if it were not for the Merlin royal family in many strong people when they suffered a lot of favors, the emperors on the Merlin throne would not be as stable as a mountain for generations, and the existence of the Sword Saint Mountain alone can only maintain the inheritance of the throne, specifically whether the status of each generation of emperors is consolidated, and their relationship with many strong people is also one of the important factors.

"Of course the people are in the magic tower, and you came to her?" The master's face softened a little - it is easy to say that he did not come to ask for a token, he did not agree to the maid's request but accepted the token, and now he is a little weak-hearted.

"Master, please let us meet Master Lin."

"What does this have to do with Master Lin?"

Leonardo and Rodiel's voices rang out at the same time, but the subjects of the inquiry were different.

Rodier's question is exactly what Master Kodiak wanted to ask:

The purpose of these groups of people coming tonight is vaguely around Lin An, and it is simply tangled into a mess, of course, Master Kodiak also wants to figure out the situation, but now he doesn't want to go back to see Lin An, because there is still a rampaging Andre there - Master Kodiak who received the token is not a person inside and outside now.

At this moment, the people of the Marquis of Yort and the people of Adelaide House also arrived, and both sides coincidentally sent their eldest sons, which was not disrespectful, but related to the master of Kodiak, in case the juniors broke down, and the adults came forward to redeem it, which was left by the aristocratic habit of doing things.

The positions of the two governments are also similar, and as soon as they meet in the wooden stack, it goes without saying that they have formed an alliance:

You can't fight the Kodiak Master for this kind of thing, and it's best if you can get the token back.

Viscount Yort and Baron Adelaide are the eldest heirs, both nearly forty years old, the two families have been married in this generation, the relationship has always been good, and the two are also good friends, although they came in a hurry, they did not panic, and calmly met and saluted Master Kodiak and Rodier and others present.

Master Kodiak paid special attention to Baron Adelaide and wanted to provoke him, but Baron Adelaide was steady and polite, and apologized to him deeply as soon as he came up, saying that it was not good to restrain the servant and let her steal the token.

Master Kodiak is not good at lowering himself to blatantly embarrass juniors, and he can't find anything for a while.

"In a word, this matter will be erased, then next time if it is not the token of Master Kodiak that is lost, then Ann will be captured and obediently wait for death-oh, I am mistaken, you are not going to die, you are going to link her into a puppet, you can't die!"

A gloomy voice full of anger sounded, and Andre, who had an incomprehensible gloom on his face, appeared in everyone's sight.
