There was a warrior from the east,

Feet on the morning sun, dressed in twilight. vertex

His servants are also graceful,

Although the body is thin and weak,

But he is as strong as a bear.

……

They went to the majestic Eagle's Nest Mountain,

Seen the savagery of the dwarves.

They have been to the mercury stream,

Learned the coldness of elves.

They arrived at the twilight beach,

Crossed the territory of the Rotten Blood.

……

Eventually, they came to Jialan,

The view here is breathtaking.

The girl under the moon dances,

The brilliance of magic looms,

In the witness of the Lord of the Elements,

Fa Lan City will be their last stop.

This song was quite popular in Falan City during this time, and rumors about Mu Yan were circulating everywhere. Some say he was a prince of the Orientals and traveled to the plains of herding horses with powerful servants, others say that he was an elf in disguise, because it is impossible for a human to be so powerful at a young age.

One of the most outrageous speculations is that he is a dragon in human form, and that the servant Ah Yin is a human prince who has been enslaved by him, and only the kiss of a pure maiden can save him......

However, the protagonist of the story wanders around the major libraries that are inaccessible every day, and knows nothing about them.

He seemed to be waiting for something, and he was not in a hurry at all.

……

On February 24th, William returned from the Ember Tower on the outskirts of Falan City, and he found that the Mage Tower had indeed not been inhabited for a long time, as Mu Yan said. If you look at the degree of degradation of the eternal lantern magic pattern, no one has taken care of it for at least 200 years......

Since he became Acting Vice-Chancellor, Jialan has given a freshman lecture every August, when the College's Honorary President, His Excellency Glazer of the Council of Six, speaks at the Weston Great Hall. First, it allows students to experience the legendary style up close, and secondly, it stimulates the enthusiasm of new students for learning.

This tradition has not changed since then, and even last year there was no omission......

But the question is, where has the Red Devil been for so long? Did he abandon the Ember Tower?

229 years ago, in 547 of the Faith calendar, he was promoted to Legendary Mage, but why is that tower still the standard for white-robed mages?

And why did the young man named Mu Yan give such a hint? He even mentions other legends of the Council of Six......

William felt that he could not think any further, that unwarranted suspicion would confuse his mind and lead him into a fear of the unknown, something that a seeker of truth should try to avoid.

Limited and reasonable assumptions should be based on strong evidence, not on the words of others.

……

When he got home, he was the first to go to see Janssen, and he got some gadgets from the Silver Candle Club, just like the scooter, which could help Janssen live a better independent life.

Janssen thanked him for this, and just as William was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Has Grandpa heard that song lately?" ”

"What song?"

"A song sung by the bards...... Janssen described the lyrics in a rough way. It sounds like it has something to do with Mu Yan, and the people are talking about him, what does he do? ”

"I don't know, he left after that day, and I didn't let anyone from the association spy on him."

Janssen thought about it and seemed a little hesitant.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much...... I always felt that the last sentence had some inexplicable meaning. ”

"The last sentence?"

"'In the presence of the Lord of the Elements, Fa Lan City will be their last stop,' sounds a little creepy."

William chewed carefully on his grandson's words.

If understood in conjunction with the above, the original meaning is that the charm exuded by this great city is unforgettable, but Janssen also felt a little strange when he was reminded of this.

It occurred to him that he had met Khloe and Deres in Corolla City, and that the storm about Mu Yan had begun three days later.

Did something unpleasant happen between Shadow Footsteps and Mu Yan?

He felt the need to go to Dreas and ask about it.

……

In the evening, William knocked on the door of Deres's apartment, but it was not Deres who opened the door, but a teenager he had never met.

High nose bridge, thick lips, prominent cheekbones, large nostrils with lush nasal hair, slightly curly hair that clings to the scalp...... These characteristics made William feel it immediately.

"The Kansa of the Morning Star?"

"Huh?" Martin was stunned. Before he could speak, why did the other party suddenly reveal his identity?

"Are you...... Friends of Derees? He asked. In his impression, Deresi's mercenary friend knew his origin.

"Sort of...... William touched his nose. Where is he? Isn't it? ”

"He hasn't been here for a long time, so he probably went to carry out the commission." Martin made a gesture of please.

He judged from the clothes on the other party's body that this guy was not small, and he might be one of the financiers of Deres, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off.

William walked in and found the tiny apartment spotlessly kept.

"What about you? Are you his friend? Why have I never seen you before. He asked.

Martin shrugged, "I've been here for two months. ”

"Two months?" William stared at his curly hair for a long time, and suddenly said, "Kansa...... You brought it back from the White Rock Mine three months ago? ”

"You know about it." Martin breathed a sigh of relief, just now he thought he had accidentally said something, and now he regarded William as his own.

He made a pot of coffee for William and chatted casually. William found that this child was not deeply involved in the world, and in a few words, he cleaned up his details.

"How did we meet? Well...... Didn't he go to the White Rock Mine three months ago, where I saved his life...... I guess I saved him, that's what he said anyway. So he took me in. Although Deres has a bad temper, he is a very good person, and he doesn't like to owe anyone anything, so even though I am a drag, I still haven't been kicked out. ”

"Hehe, that's what everyone says about him." William smiled.

"yes, I was right." Martin said proudly, "This reminds me that he was rescued a few days ago, and he took that guy named Mu Yan to the Seinsa Manor."

"By the way, when it comes to this Seinsha Manor, he doesn't complain less." Martin looked around, as if he was wary of the ear of the wall, and then opened the conversation box and said: "He said that the family named Janssen is very rich, but his temper is a mess, and that Mu Yan is an arrogant fool, and he thinks that he is very powerful, and he has to go to troubled waters." Of course, this must not be known by others, especially the people of the academy, otherwise it will reach the ears of the dead old man.

"Hmm...... Dead old man? William had a bad premonition.

"O headmaster of Jialan! They all call him a dead old man in private, I heard that he looks quite old, and he has been in that position for decades, doing things ink, calculating, and likes to talk a lot of nonsense at the freshman ceremony......"

"Hmm......" William couldn't take it anymore, stood up and said, "Can I go around?" ”

"Huh? Oh, of course. ”

"Thank you."

William nodded, and walked into Dreis's room, his perception instantly covering every corner of the room.

Dreas seemed to have really gone on a mission, and the room was clean, and there were not a few books left on the shelves. In addition to some textbooks, there is one that stands out.

This is an absurd, fictional story of a poor insect king who was kidnapped by a spider at night and ate his brain, and then ruled the entire country in his place, and successively let the spider eat away at the living space of human beings through a number of laws, and finally completely occupied the country.

The book has a page with a folded corner, and at the bottom is the original text.

“…… When a servant hid in a corner and saw this, he was so frightened that he covered his mouth and trembled. When he returned, he thought about it all night, and plucked up the courage to tell everyone about it, but then he found a cobweb at the head of his bed, and the terrible cobweb was like a warning, and completely shut his mouth. ”

William frowned, wondering if this was a hint.

Because he saw a line of painted nicks at the head of Deres's bed.

"The masked man is staring at you."
