In order to avoid being discovered by the manipulator of the Faith Eagle, Raygar did not occupy the body of this bird of prey, but hid in an extremely secret form in a corner of the latter's soul sea, as an animal with extremely thin blood of the Faith Eagle, the Faith Eagle has almost no understanding of his own soul, it can't even put its spirit into the soul ocean, and the spirit easily hides the host's perception and flies with the Faith Eagle to the killers' lair.
One hundred and fifty kilometers in a straight line was not a long distance for a bird of prey with great flying ability, and despite being extremely tired, the eagle returned to its owner after an hour.
The man in black passionately stroked the feathers on his pet's body, took some food out of his pocket and put it into the eagle's mouth, then ordered it to rest on the side, and then re-entered the state of spiritual connection with the other eagle.
The man in black didn't notice that as he closed his eyes, a translucent shadow quietly rose from the letter eagle behind him, freezing it into ice before the loyal eagle could warn, and then floating silently behind him. The next moment, a strange sound enveloped the man in black and quickly invaded his soul, and in the blink of an eye, the unsuspecting mind controller fell into Rhaeggar's grasp.
"Don't be afraid," Rhaegar sent a steady stream of friendly messages to the other person's consciousness, "I'm your friend, we have absolute trust between us, and we don't talk about anything. ”
As a mind controller, the man in black who can communicate with animals has a powerful mental power, even his immediate boss, the mage in charge of this operation, can hardly control his mind with hypnosis, but in front of Rhaeggar, such mental power only delays his hypnotic time a little later. After a few minutes, the Man in Black was completely caught up in the illusion that the other party had set up for him, and in his subconscious, Rhaegar became the closest person to him who could talk about any secrets.
"We didn't find anything. A black-clad killer with a grim face reported to his superior: "We have searched all the places within a radius of ten kilometers centered here, and unless he has escaped from this range, he will definitely not be able to hide from us." ”
Holland waved his hand, motioning for the killer to stand back, and then turned his gaze to the other two mages who were traveling with him, while the killers were searching, they were also constantly looking around with their mental powers, plus the letter eagle in the sky, this mage believed that no one could escape such a search.
The answer he received disappointed him again, and the two mages shook their heads at the same time, and they had also found nothing in the previous investigation.
"Maybe he was really destroyed by the energy just now," Holland thought. He had no doubt about the power of the final blow from the Divine Golem, and in fact, the search was not so much about finding Regaar's trails as it was about validating his suspicions.
However, such a result did not please him, and as the chief's henchman, he knew better than anyone this wise and calm man in the eyes of outsiders. As a wise man who strives for perfection, the leader likes to have everything under his control, and this time, it is clear that things have gone off the rails he expected - he has not been able to meet all of his client's demands, and the most important mage has not been captured alive. This may seem like nothing to others, after all, the result of destroying a strong squad without a single soldier, and capturing most of them alive, is enough to boast to anyone, but to the leader, it is unacceptable, and he cannot tolerate things going beyond his expectations, although no one could have imagined that a statue that had always been regarded as an ordinary totem could make such a terrible attack.
According to Holland's experience, chiefs often have only one solution to such things: to blame everyone else for all the fault. Only in this way can he convince others that the reason why things will not go according to his plan is not because he is not wise enough, but because others are not doing exactly what he says, and more importantly, only in this way can he convince himself that he can achieve everything with his wisdom, if the people below him carry out his plan meticulously.
Holland knew very well that as the specific executor of this plan, according to the leader's previous style of acting, he would undoubtedly be the first person to take the blame, and he had no doubt about the leader's choice between his fanatical belief in his own wisdom and his own right-hand man.
"What do we do next?" asked one of the other two mages, a hint of undisguised schadenfreude in his tone - as rivals, they had always been extremely happy to see each other make mistakes and lose the trust of their leaders.
"Let's go back," Holland said calmly, as if he didn't hear what was going on, "go back to the hideout first, and I'll personally report to the leader on what happened here." ”
"I don't think that's a good idea," said the mage who spoke earlier, Carrowell, slowly, "at this point, I think you'd better not confront the leader directly—you know, that might further provoke his anger." He turned his head to the other mage standing side by side with him, his partner Randall, and said, "I suggest you rest for a while and I will report back to the leader." ”
An irrepressible anger welled up from the bottom of Horan's heart, and at this moment, he knew that these two peers, who had been competing with him for a long time for the number two under the leader, finally couldn't hold back their ambitions and were ready to make a move.
"As the commander of this operation," he said coldly, "it is my duty to tell the chief the facts, even if it will provoke his wrath." He ignored the other man and turned to give his men a signal to withdraw.
"Self-righteous fool, old man in the dead house!" Looking at the back of Holland striding forward, Carrowell angrily whispered to his partner, "Who does he think he is? Wait and see, when the leader is angry, he will regret his decision, and I will be very happy to see him then..."
He and his partner could no longer see anything, and as he poured out his heartfelt words unbridledly, two large hands reached out from the ground beneath his and Randall's feet without warning, grabbing their ankles, and in an instant, the two mages approaching the seventh order turned into humanoid ice sculptures.
The fluctuations of magic could not hide from Horan, and the mage quickly turned around and was ready to cast a spell.
With a flick of two large hands that emerged from the ground, the lifelike ice sculpture was thrown more than a dozen meters away, and then, a figure emerged from the ground as Horran turned—as an archmage, Rhaegar had the means to bury his body alive and unharmed, and to make it impossible for those searchers to find him.
"You're the mage," Horan immediately recognized Rhaegar in front of him, who was still covered in a thin layer of dirt, "You're not dead. The surging Origin Energy quickly gathered around him, and the next moment, a ball of light brighter than the sun shot out from the tip of his staff, shooting towards the opponent in front of him.
As an experienced mage, Horan made the wisest choice at this moment, taking advantage of the fact that Rhaegar was busy fending off the magic he was emitting with all his might, his form suddenly rose to the ground and flew into the distance - since the opponent dared to show up publicly, he must have everything ready to fight in the place chosen by an opponent of unfathomable strength without knowing the hole cards, which is something that every cautious mage would not do.
However, he still underestimated Rhaeggar, although literally there was only one level difference between the eighth and seventh orders, but the difference between this level was greater than the gap between the mountains and the flatlands, even if he didn't have to surprise him, even with the suspicious black-clad killers around him, Rhaegar was still sure enough to destroy these enemies.
Killing intent flickered in Rhaegar's eyes, and after eliminating all the enemies left behind in the lair and cutting off the other party's means of communication with his leader, he had no worries, these people had to pay with their lives in order to save his companions, and to wash away the shame of being played like monkeys these days.
A huge web of light appeared around him and his men before Horan broke away, this was a means that Rhaegar had arranged to prevent the other party from escaping before returning to his body, and when the mage who was desperate to flee for his life could not destroy the barrier in front of him with several spells in succession, and was almost injured by his own spell reflected back, Horan finally realized that he had provoked an enemy that he should not provoke.
Ragar was swelling with blazing flames, and he stared coldly at the killers and their superiors around him, all of whom seemed to be in a state of near dazedness.
"You deserve it. He said without any emotion, and then waved his hand, and the boundless sea of fire immediately flooded the entire area shrouded in the light web.
This kind of magic that extends the flames and turns them into a sea of fire is not a powerful spell, in terms of its own rank, it is no more than the sixth order, such a spell is enough to eliminate those killers who know nothing about magic, but it is not enough to hurt Horan, the old mage stood in the shield he had summoned, and waited for the sea of fire to disappear while maintaining the shield.
Holland is not worried about his life, in his opinion, at least for the time being, he will not be in any danger: to be able to survive such a terrible energy explosion, and to hide the perception of the two mages and the observation of the eagle, and to be able to trap hundreds of people, including himself, with just a network of light, an enemy with such strength can kill everyone in one fell swoop, but the other party only used a spell that is not enough to pose a threat to himself, which fully shows that this powerful opponent does not intend to kill himself so soon.
