Chapter 294: Magic Detective Khadgar Can't Solve the Case
Don't panic when you are in trouble, come from all over to help, unite and run to a well-off, I live next door and my surname is Wang.
Ahem, well, that's the case.
When the orcs attacked the Cross Islands and sacked Dalaran, although Violet Castle, which is the essence of the land, was safe, the peripheral losses were still very serious.
In this disaster, some precious magical resources were also lost.
Among them is the Book of Medivan.
And this magic book, which originally belonged to the guardian Medivan, fell into the hands of Carlos due to various coincidences.
[Book of Medivan]: Legendary quality, requires ten mana crystals, after use, your fire impact consumption becomes zero, and the number of uses per turn is changed to 30.
The above is purely a mouthpiece.
In fact, the value of the Book of Medivan is binary.
For non-magical people, a magic book is probably a spell book that records magical knowledge. That's right, magic books do do that way. But for mages, a cool magic book is every mage's dream.
Because for the Master, his own magic book is at least equivalent to an additional mana pool and amplifier.
Documenting one's understanding of a mage in a book of the right texture is in itself akin to enchantment. And when the magic book carries more magical knowledge, the stronger the magic structure it contains, and the higher the elemental resonance and arcane buffs it causes. And the better the texture of the spell book, the more magic power it can withstand.
And Medivan's magic book, both in terms of its own texture and the amount of knowledge it carries, is undoubtedly the best.
When Khadgar reaped the benefits of his teacher, Carlos was not yet able to get involved, but when his subordinates broke out the [Book of Medivan] from the slaughtered orc warlock, Carlos had no reason to return it unconditionally to Dalaran because of the "long-standing traditional friendship".
Not to mention on the issue of Karazhan's legacy. Dalaran is also a group of thieves.
The kidnappers demanded that Carlos exchange the Book of Medivan for Illusia.
After learning the ransom demanded by the kidnappers, the Violet Eye organization was blacklisted by Carlos.
"I'm sorry, Carlos, no one wants this to happen. But I can assure you that this is definitely not the work of the Violet Eye, at least not the will of the entire Violet Eye. I promise. ”
Originally, it was because of Carlos's almost brutal demands. With the threat of quitting the alliance, Khadgar, the archmage who is not in good health, is resentful after rushing in. But when Carlos explained the situation, Khadgar thanked Carlos Tidaran for covering up his shame.
His further education in Karazan was the driving force behind the Violet Eye, his power in Dalaran was supported by the Violet Eye, and even he was a high-ranking member of the Violet Eye, Khadgar could not say that the Violet Eye had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
Because the existence of the Book of Medivan itself is a rumor, Antonidas only has the right to borrow it, and the ownership is in the hands of the Violet Eye.
If Khadgar knew that the Book of Medivan had fallen into Carlos' hands, he would convince the upper echelons of the organization to exchange it for a favor that Carlos could not refuse.
Because for the Wizarding Society, which has a big business. The exchange of interests is the usual means, especially if the other party is still a king.
However, apart from the Violet Eye, it is impossible for other mages to track the whereabouts of the [Book of Medivan], because Khadgar was also present when the [Book of Medivan] combined solidification tracking and positioning spells.
The work of extracting and copying Medivan's magical knowledge from the [Book of Medivan] has long been completed, and for the Violet Eye, the greatest value of the [Book of Medivan] is not the skills carried in the magic book, but the magic book itself.
In other words, the value of the [Book of Medivan] to the Violet Eye has been extracted by more than half. The remaining value is simply not enough to tempt the Violet Eye and Carlos' kingdom of Alterac to turn against each other.
"Khadgar, are we friends?"
"Of course. I never doubted our friendship. ”
"Then don't take me for a fool. If it weren't for the southern expedition, I would have stabbed Master Antonidas and Anduin on this. Not in front of Lothar. ”
Although Carlos looked fierce, Khadgar heard the sound.
There is a possibility that this matter is private!
A king's revenge is not like a civilian fight, especially Janis. Barov himself was a member of Dalaran and was close to Antonidas. If Carlos makes a big deal out of it, especially in the moment when Dalaran is at the weakest of the trauma of war. For the sake of the stability of the alliance, the Kenrito Council will inevitably make huge concessions and compromises, either actively or passively.
In this case, the relationship between Alterac and Dalaran will inevitably deteriorate, and there is even a threat of shaking the foundation of the alliance.
"You are the true selfless king, although I cannot represent the Alliance. But I still want to thank you for your sanity for the sake of the Alliance. ”
Khadgar used an honorific to Carlos.
"Hmph, everything is based on the fact that my sister is safe and sound, otherwise, what awaits you will be my most cruel and merciless revenge."
"Of course. I will be involved in this matter and do my best to keep Princess Elucia safe. ”
A tacit agreement has been reached, and Khadgar soon joins in the rescue.
I have to say that at this time, the human mage, or human magic, is still very backward, far inferior to the alliance mage after the undead natural disaster in another world line.
Revealed the matter to Khadgar and asked him to help save Iluthia because Carlos couldn't find a more suitable and powerful mage to handle it.
"Since the other party has requested that the hostage exchange take place in Alterac City, it is likely that Her Royal Highness Princess Elucia will be imprisoned in Alterac."
"It's possible."
"It just so happens that I have a little spell that can be put to use."
After reading the kidnappers' abduction letters, Khadgar, with Carlos' permission, incinerated the letters with pure arcane energy, added some magic materials to the ashes, and finally brandished his staff and chanted spells for a long time.
The ash powder then floats in the air, forming a phantom, revealing various humanoid illusions.
"What is this?"
Carlos seemed to understand something.
"Time goes back. According to you, and given the time of Illusia's abduction, this letter should have been written within five days, and should not be beyond my capabilities. ”
Khadgar, who was focused on spellcasting, didn't care about honorifics anymore.
And Carlos also saw that this spell was not a "small spell" as Khadgar said, and with a lot of magic, Khadgar looked even older.
A green light shone above Khadgar's head, making the mage's aging body much more comfortable.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Khadgar stepped up, and the shadow of ash powder began to recede like a rewind.
Now, Carlos really understands that time recounting can trace a certain range of space around the target item.
"It's magic."
In admiration, Carlos sees his own phantom, Todd's phantom, the messenger's phantom, and finally the writer.
"Found you, you're dead!"
When he saw what the guy who wrote the ransom note looked like, Carlos made a vicious threat.
"It's a big problem."
Khadgar froze the frame, and walked a few steps left and right to observe the appearance of the phantom.
"Huh?"
"I don't know him."
Khadgar said with a frown. (To be continued.) )
