Compared with the bloody wind and rain on the sea, the stone fort in the port is undoubtedly much more quiet and safe, and the warm sun and warm breeze embrace the stone buildings of the port in their arms, as if to cover the original cold walls and sublimate them to a humane and emotional height. [Full text reading.]

A man in black who got down from the sampan stood on the pier and took a closer look, and in a stone fort about a few hundred meters away, he found a water-blue flag, the classical wave rune was set off by the thorn rune dipped in the breath of life, noble and eye-catching, looking from a distance, the eyes were a piece of comfortable enjoyment.

He tightened the hood on his head as if it was because of the cold, and then looked to the left and right, blending in with the flow of people coming down from the sampan to the inner harbor, and walking in the direction he had identified.

The sprawling complex stretches up the slope along the topography, with hundreds of defensive towers surrounding a towering castle on the top, looking down on the land like a king.

No matter how you look at it, a fortified port with such imposing defenses could not be a target.

But it really happened, and it happened as a matter of course, for there was no garrison in the port shared by the three principalities, it was nothing more than a magnificent landscape to admire, and the thriving trade made everyone abandon it all to a corner that could be ignored, as ordinary as mountains and trees, to forget its true purpose. And now, although hundreds of members of the monastic and a large number of nobles have gathered here. However, their arrival did not add anything to the otherwise prosperous port, but rather interrupted trade from the sea, and will continue to do so for a long time to come.

The man in black went all the way. On either side, there were many Cincians from the South China Sea, who were holding clay pots and peddling coconut fruit to the servants of the nobles in a muddy voice. He walked along a stone wall and entered the main entrance of the stone castle, and the two guards standing at the door immediately looked at him with a cold face, he flashed the ring in his hand expressionlessly, and walked directly into the inner hall of the stone castle without waiting for the other party's response.

A servant standing by saw him, hurried up and made a guiding gesture to lead him to the two-story study.

The man in black straightened his robes. There was a gentle knock on a wooden door next to it, and the dark window above quietly opened.

Light penetrated through the holes, revealing a flickering gaze. The person inside said in a low voice, "Who?"

The man in black looked around, took out an emblem from his bosom and handed it to the other party.

The person inside took it and looked at it, and then took a closer look at the man in black, although he had experienced it many times, but the latter shuddered with that kind of fierce and emotionless gaze.

"I heard you arrived in the morning, why didn't you come until now? Your Excellency has been waiting for you for a long time. The local inside asked coldly.

The man in black spread his hands, revealing a wry smile, mixed with a touch of helplessness.

Apparently the other party also knew what was happening in the port, and he slowed down. "Come in, my lord takes this matter very seriously, and you will soon end this life of running around." ”

The man in black showed a look of joy, and he said eagerly, "It's all your help." ”

The door opened, and standing behind him was a rickety old man. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a person who is about to enter the grave, and from his sleepy eyes, you can't see the sharpness of the blade just now.

The man in black was taken to the inner room, while the old man stood trembling to the side, with his eyes closed, as if he might fall headlong and die at any moment.

Footsteps rang out. The man in black hurriedly stood up. "Then Lord Olasser, Laika will return to you. ”

Naoraser was still dressed in aqua blue mage robes. The wrinkles on his cheeks and the white sideburns did not hide his proud side, which was full of competitiveness like a young man, unwilling to be lonely, he did not sit down, but walked to the window, stood for a moment, and then suddenly turned around, and whispered, "How is it?

Leka was silent for a moment, then bowed and said, "Not entirely sure. ”

After Prince Xiumi was attacked and disappeared mysteriously that day, Olaser cast his suspicious eyes on Luo Lan, believing that the latter had a certain connection with him even if he was not involved in this matter, so without a clue, he specially sent someone to secretly monitor Luo Lan's every move, hoping to find some clues. After waiting for so long, he had even turned what he thought into a reality in his heart, so he also needed an affirmative answer to confirm his guess.

But this answer was not what he wanted, he couldn't help frowning, the old furrow on his face became deeper and denser, and he said in a deep voice: "What does it mean to not be completely sure?"

Sensing the displeasure in Naorasser's tone, Laika carefully explained, "Although this little lord has not shown any flaws so far, I have checked their records in the noble inn that day, and according to them, there are sixteen of them, including eleven squires, a high-ranking thief, a paladin, a noble woman, a mysterious-looking man with hair, and the lord himself. However, when I boarded the ship, I noticed one more person among them, a veiled and turban-clad girl. ”

When talking about one more person, Olaser's cloudy eyes lit up slightly, but when he heard that it was a girl, his eyes dimmed again, and he returned to a stagnant water, Prince Shumi was a fat man, so the extra person would definitely not be him.

"My lord," Leka took a step closer and whispered, "I could clearly see that on the deck that day, judging by the strands of hair peeking out of the girl's ears, it was blue hair!"

"Blue hair...... "Olaser suddenly remembered something, he stared at the man in black tightly, and said in a stern tone, "Can you be sure?"

"I'm sure!" the man in black looked up, meeting the fierce gaze that was shooting at him.

There was excitement in the eyes of the Orather, like a snake catcher who had finally noticed that his prey had poked its head out of its hiding place.

Laika hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, are we ......?"

"Don't worry," Olaser waved his hand, stopping him from continuing, now that he had found a clue, there was no need to be so flustered. He said to himself, "He's a priest?"

The old man standing next to him suddenly opened his eyes, and the cold light like a cold wind leaked through his eyes.

The wrinkles of Olaser's eyebrows gradually eased, as if he had grasped something, he sat down in his seat, changed his tone, and said slowly: "I heard that you have been attacked by succubi at sea?"

"That's true, we were rescued by a knight named Alexander...... "The man in black thought for a moment, and said, "But I don't think it's that simple, maybe it has something to do with the lord." ”

"Oh?" said Olasser, who had come to his senses, "tell me what you think." ”

The man in black slowed down his speech as much as possible, letting the memories squeeze out of his mouth bit by bit, not letting go of any possible omissions: "As we all know, succubi are an abyss race that is not good at melee combat but is good at controlling the minds of living beings, but judging from the traces of battle left in the cabin, the huge destructive power is not like what ordinary people can do after being controlled. In addition, according to the person's description, most of the battles were concentrated in the cabin. But I had carefully examined the signs of damage on the ship, and I could conclude that there had been a battle outside, and that the intensity and damage it had caused were beyond the reach of a swordsman. Also, most of the nobles on that ship are said to have died at the bottom of the sea, and interestingly, among those who survived, was the lord. Judging from this, neither he nor the Alexander knight should have been affected by the succubus's soul song, so it is likely that he also participated in the battle, and besides, there may be more than one enemy!"

After a pause, Laika seemed to sink into his own memory, took two steps, and said, "I also found traces of a dagger-like short weapon on the deck, and I can say for sure that as a knight with strict training, Alexander would never have been able to wear such a weapon. ”

Olaser nodded slowly, and asked in a deep voice, "Then what is your final conclusion?"

Laika raised his voice and said categorically: "They have covered up the real facts, there must be an ulterior motive hidden in them, although we don't know what it is yet, but it must be important!"

Olaser stood up at once, and he laughed, and said, "Good, very good, it was really beyond my expectations, that you actually sent me such valuable news." By the way, are the traces of the destruction still there?"

Laika sighed and said helplessly: "It's a pity that most of the deck has been destroyed by the Hippogriff's stones, and the evidence that can show the truth has been destroyed. ”

"No, we have another way. Na Olaser laughed, he was obviously not satisfied with this method, and said, "There is a kind of qi space magic called time and space regression, which can re-enact things that happened in the past for a short time. ”

The old man, who had almost been forgotten, said lightly, "Qi mage, rare. ”

"No, there's one, he's right in the harbor. ”
