Knock knock. ”

"Knock knock. ”

"Squeak...... The door to Rostry's office was pushed open, and a long, white hand gently moved away from the doorknob.

The visitor was wearing a dark purple robe that covered the top of his feet, and he held a small crystal ball in his other hand. She walked softly into the room, a pair of eyes hidden under the hood looking around.

Soon a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She blinked twice and walked straight to the front of the bookcase.

Before she could get to her, a figure slowly appeared in front of the bookcase. The man wore a tall, peaked magician's hat, and an off-white beard that grew unkemptly on his chin.

"Haha, Katrina, you're still so observant!" said Minister Rostry, laughing, his beard shaking.

"Teacher, how old am I, and you still play hide and seek with me. Katrina said sarcastically. It's just that her ethereal voice sounds a little more distant, like a goddess who doesn't eat fireworks in the world.

"But in my eyes, you're still the same kid you were twenty years ago. Rostri said with a smile as he looked at her. The look of pain in Katrina's eyes flashed, and she opened her mouth slightly and did not speak.

Rostri walked towards his desk with his staff in hand. The sunlight outside the window seemed to be swallowed up by shadows, and the sky, which had been bright just a moment ago, became darker.

"It's changed...... Rostry's said as he walked as he looked up the window. Katrina looked out the window and was silent, and followed Rostri forward.

"When people are old, it's better to sit and relax. Rostry, sitting in his chair, took off his hat and put it on the table, said self-deprecatingly. It's just that he doesn't look like he says he is, and he is even more energetic than some middle-aged people. Katrina knew that he liked to laugh at himself, and she didn't answer.

"Have you been outside the city for the past two days? I heard it doesn't seem to be very peaceful outside. Rostri asked casually.

Katrina hesitated for a moment and said, "I went to the west of the Everfree Forest two days ago, and I didn't encounter any problems. ”

"The Everfree Forest?"

"I need some wisteria flowers, they are no longer available in the magical pharmacies in the city. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate, and the teacher and student fell silent at the same time.

"Ahem...... Rostri coughed softly twice, "I have an important task for you to come this time. Katrina looked up at Rostri with an inquiring look in her eyes.

"I just came back from the guild headquarters, and the news I got is not encouraging. Rostry's tone suddenly became serious.

"You should know what those black cloaks do, but they're just appearances. According to the guild's spies and the Adventurers' Guild, the Shadow Wizards are planning something crazy that will bring unimaginable disaster to the world. ”

"And what can I do?" asked Katrina.

"I can't say much about the Floating City, but I can tell you that the Great Mages have taken action and started an investigation into the Shadow Wizards. Rostri said slowly. "Headquarters has asked us to send someone to assist the archmages, and I think you are the only one who is the most suitable. ”

"It's my pleasure. Teacher, but where am I going to help the Great Mage?"

"Montedia. ”

Katrina's long, curved eyelashes moved slightly, and surprise flashed in her eyes. But she didn't say much, and then decided on the itinerary and left.

After Katrina left, the bookcase not far away made a muffled noise and parted to the sides, and Vice President York walked out of the back door.

"Minister, you know, I'm the least of a fan of eavesdropping. York said, spreading his hands. "The most important thing is that you can't hear ...... behind that door"

"York, you're ready to follow Catrina to Montedia. Of course, I mean to act in the shadows as I did last time, and to use the messenger to contact me if there is anything. Rostri didn't mean to joke in the slightest.

"It's a real headache like that...... Yorke said, rubbing his cheeks vigorously.

"Don't complain, York, you're the only one I can trust right now. Rostri said softly. He leaned back in his chair, and his whole body looked much worse than before.

"By the way, President, how is Vaane? ”

Rostri sighed, his face looking even more ugly. He spoke slowly, "On the day I arrived in Floating City, there was news that the cargo ship they were on to the Duchy of Lukan was caught in a storm at sea, and it seemed that the entire ship had sunk. ”

"What?!" York's eyes widened in surprise.

"It is said that a fishing boat later rescued some people in that area, but it is not clear whether it was Venn or not. Strangely, the fishermen in the vicinity said they had never seen a storm at sea......"

......

There was a dead silence on the frozen wasteland shrouded in night.

From time to time, strange cries can be heard in a field of ruins covered in snow and ice. A white owl hovered back and forth over one of the clearings, as if guarding something and wouldn't leave.

Compared to the rest of the ruins, it looks messy. The snow melted into a gully-like surface of ice, with a large amount of blood stained on it, some of which had melted into the ice, and looked like cryolite with impurities. There are a large number of broken white bones scattered around, which is shocking.

In this place of death, something seemed to move.

It was a dark-haired human teenager. His clothes were in tatters, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were many broken white bones stuck in his somewhat thin body. The bones were large and small, the big ones were as big as the hilt of a sword, and the small ones were as thick as arrows. The blood from his wound had long since congealed, but the scene in front of him was still terrifying.

The boy is none other than Vane, who was previously injured by the suicide bone explosion of the Lord of the Wasteland. He lay on his back motionless, not even feeling his breathing, like a frozen corpse. His left eyelid collapsed slightly, and his originally handsome face was covered with blood, and several open wounds could be faintly seen.

Suddenly, Vane's left hand moved, followed by a slight moan.

“...... Ahem......" Vane took a sharp breath and coughed loudly. His voice was hoarse and muffled, sounding painful. Soon, he spat out a large mouthful of black-red blood.

If this is my fate, why keep me alive. Vane stared blankly into the air, tears sliding down the corners of his eyes, the pain of the wound no longer enough to catch his attention.

"Bambu Bambu!" the white owl in the sky seemed to notice Vane's strangeness, and spread its wings and flew towards him. It seemed to have something in its claws, and threw it at Vane before it landed on the ground.

"Bambu Bambu ......" the owl stood in Vaen's mouth and rubbed his face with its furry head.

"Hello, Bambu. Vane grinned, but his face looked pained. “...... Perhaps, you can not stand on my wounds. ”

As if he understood his words, Bambu flapped his wings and flew up.
