To tell you the bad news, I finally used up all the saved manuscripts, and from the next chapter, all of them are written and published, and I will try to ensure that the quality is guaranteed.

"Are you sure it was someone else, and not our mage himself, who stole the dragon egg?" Rhaeggar's voice was not angry at all, but it was enough to make Krens feel nervous from the bottom of her heart, "In fact, "After nearly forty years of living under Rhaeggar's authority, the human-demon 'hybrids' who once fearlessly faced each other have long since unwittingly succumbed to the latter's majesty," we can't be sure. She swallowed hard, "All the mages have been killed by the Silver Dragon, and the only clue we have is the news that the mages sent back before they died about the attack of the Silver Dragon, and the traces of the dragon eggs found under the ruins of the Mage Tower......" She looked at Seren with a pleading gaze, they had become the staunchest allies of the past years.

As the leader of the five disciples of Rhaegar that people know, although no one thought that this ninth-order *** master, who was already more than five hundred years old, would be able to inherit the position of the master of the mage tower from a forbidden mage who was only less than a hundred years old, Seren still had a transcendent position in the god of storms. The *** division, who received a request for help from his allies, bowed slightly to Rhaega and took the initiative to take over the topic.

"We can't be sure if someone deliberately framed our mage," Seren said respectfully to his mentor, "unless the dead mages are resurrected, we will probably never know the truth of the matter." The key now is what to do with the silver dragon that killed our mage - as far as I know, the local mages of St. Endoss do not have good intentions towards us, and if we are to continue to gain a foothold in St. Endos, we must show everyone what we are capable of, and a silver dragon that gives us enough excuses provides us with such an opportunity. ”

At least half of the deacons present "revealed" approval of Seren's words. The dragon clan may be very powerful, but they hardly interact with their kind in adulthood, and a single silver dragon is not a serious problem for the current storm god, as long as there are more than two *** divisions leading dozens of mages to form a battle formation, it is enough to solve this trouble.

Rhaegar was pleased with the reaction of his disciples and subordinates, and he had just asked the question to test their attitude towards such incidents - while revenge was not unacceptable to mages, a significant number of them stubbornly adhered to the old tradition of revenge only if they had a good reason to do so. In Rhaeggar's opinion, this is undoubtedly a very stupid thing to do, maybe for a mage it will give him a good reputation, but for a mage tower, this pedantic attitude will put him in an awkward passive position in the fight, and since taking over, he has been working to change people's opinions, and now, obviously, this effort has succeeded.

"That's right," Rhaegar smiled and gave Seren an approving look, "It doesn't matter if our mage has been framed or not, what matters is that someone has killed our people, and some people want to take the opportunity to test us outsiders in their eyes. He rose from his seat and gave his orders to Sister Krens, "Gather your belongings and set out for St. Endos, I hope to see the head of the silver dragon as soon as possible and receive the news of the completion of the Mage Tower, if you can do both things, you will be the head of the new Mage Tower." ”

"As you wish. Krens bent down, said respectfully, and walked backwards out of the chamber with her sister.

"Looks like it's going to shuffle again. "As the oldest mage and deacon in the Tower, Colville was the only one in the room who knew what Rhaegar really meant. In his opinion, the departure of the Krens sisters would be a good thing for them, and once the new Mage Tower was built, they would have power there second only to Rhaeggar, but for their group, it was not something to celebrate: due to the distance, the Human-Demon 'half-blood' sisters would miss most of the meetings of the Deacon Council, which would inevitably weaken the influence of their group. Perhaps Rhaegar didn't doubt their loyalty, but it was clear that the owner of the Mage Tower wanted to see a more solid balance.

"I have other matters, if the mage sent out comes back, let me know as soon as possible," Rhaegar said to the deacons present, his body gradually becoming transparent at the same time, "Don't disturb me unless there is something important." "By the time the voice was still echoing through the halls, his body had completely disappeared from his seat - he had been hiding behind the scenes for longer and longer as his position was secured, but no one dared or could hide anything from him in this mage tower.

"What's wrong?" Regar said to Willy, who had summoned herself back with telepathy, as he returned to the chamber at the top of the tower, "Are they the 'spirits'?"

After completing the creation of the Explorer, the members of the team began to go their separate ways: Rhaegar had to manage his own Mage Tower and the base of Blackstone Island, Willy never wanted to be separated from her lover again, and Heim, Nack, and Tomahawk continued their expedition until a decade ago, when they returned to their people for various reasons. Despite the distance, with the help of the communication crystal that Rhaegar had prepared for him, the living and dying companions kept in touch.

The years have not left any traces on Willy's body, and this 'female' warrior looks more mature and beautiful, but at this time, there is obviously a trace of 'yin' on her 'fine' face. "It's Tomahawk," she whispered, "he's not in a good condition and can't even use the communication crystal himself, one of his brothers sent us a message, but we didn't get much detail because he wasn't very skilled." To make matters worse," she couldn't hide her concern, "I didn't hear from me for half a minute after the com/. ”

At the same time as Willy finished speaking, Rhaegar had already made a decision - as a dwarf, the age of the battle axe can only be regarded as middle-aged at best, and after inheriting the power of the axe of Kroll, there is no doubt that his ability and lifespan have been greatly extended, unless there is any irresistible accident, this dwarf will never fall due to natural causes such as illness.

"We must get to him at once," the geist said decisively to Willy, "and we will go now." With a thought, his most loyal servant quietly appeared beside him, "Take us to the Mountains of Despair." Rhaegar said to Hull, who has the ability to travel through space.

In the eyes of many people, it is undoubtedly much easier to cross the barriers of space to reach other dimensions than to travel within this dimension, but for mages who truly understand space, if the distance of the latter is too far, it is even more difficult than the former. As long as there is enough power to tear down the spatial barriers, it is not difficult to reach one space from one space to another, but it is almost impossible to do long-distance spatial transmission within the same space - the barrier formed by the distance is enough to make the transmitters run out of strength before they arrive, and the interference of different factors on the transmission path will cause great errors in the transmission, and a person who wishes to go to the beach is likely to find himself in the desert after arriving at his destination.

However, for the snow apes, such a problem does not exist: they are born to be the darlings of space, except for the gods, no one can compare with them in terms of spatial ability, although they are only in the prime of life, it is not difficult for Hull to take two people nearly 10,000 kilometers away, and half a minute later, Rhaegar and Willy and their servants are already in the middle of the mountains.

"How can we find the dwarves?" Willy looked at the mountains around her, none of the members of the team had ever been to Tomahawk's home due to the restrictions of the racial precepts, and they had only been in contact with them through the communication crystal.

"The explorers will help us do that. Rhaegar replied, summoning at least a thousand explorers from the crystals he carried—size wasn't an issue for these disembodied beings, who could even inhabit a speck of dust—"Find the dwarves." Rhaegar quickly engraved the image of the battle axe into the souls of his men through the power of the 'spirit' god, and then commanded.

The near-transparent explorer flew in all directions, quickly disappearing from the two's line of sight. "I can determine the location of the communication crystal," Rhaegar said to Willy, "although the arrangement of the dwarven 'caves' and 'holes' makes it impossible to finally determine the location, but it is enough for me to limit the range to a hundred kilometers around us, and it is only a trivial matter for the explorers to search for such an area." ”

His words were quickly confirmed, and a few minutes later, a prospector sent back information that the target had been found, and the next moment, Snow Ape appeared with two people at the former's location.

"Oh my God!" Willy exclaimed as she saw everything in front of her, "What's wrong?" she tried to run towards the dwarf, but was stopped by Rhaegar.

"Something isn't quite right," Rhaegar said in a deep voice, looking at the unkempt tomahawk trapped in an enclosed space formed by a collapsed tunnel and a mountain 'cave', with a blood-red glint in his eyes, "That's not a dwarf, some being controls his body. ”

Willy stared nervously at the dwarf who was gulping down the corpse of a dead animal, "Can you help him, can you?" her voice trembled visibly, and her face showed unconcealed concern and apprehension.

"I don't know," Rhaegar confessed, "it seems that something has invaded his body, but his soul has not been destroyed, it has just been sealed somewhere, but I can't be sure - his soul 'waves' are now 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'. ”
