"To put it simply, Akali wanted to get the 'Pure White Ball', or the 'Soul Ball', she knew that this thing was not in the hands of the sea god Calypso, but was hidden by her on the continent, but she didn't expect that a smart Calypso would hide this thing under her nose, just in Jialan, on the outskirts of Falan City, on the descendant of the Katan people, Shireen Carter, came to a trick 'black under the lamp'!

"The fisherman's song itself is a great irony, a satire of Ikali's incompetence. The stupid fisherman who fears the sun' refers to Ikali herself, and the 'fifteen-month-old grouper' refers to Miss Shireen, who turned fifteen last night, implying that she will be sent away at the age of fifteen......

"I just remembered that 'grouper' is a freshwater fish, also known as 'princess fish', which was bred in large quantities by the Septin during the city-state period and sold to the nobles of other city-states as a rare species, and at the same time, the blonde Lady Elysifer was also called the 'most beautiful princess fish', so the lord of Elixiph took a fancy to her......

"There is also a subspecies of it in the sea, called the yellow-scaled grouper, but the scales are not as pure as the 'princess fish', but more like brass, so the local fishermen also call it the 'fake princess fish', which perfectly hints at Shireen's identity......

"Ahhhhhhh

Mu Yan hugged his head and wailed, he now had a feeling that he realized that he could have answered correctly after the test papers were handed out......

This may not be a big deal to others, and they will complain "who knows if the person who wrote the question is going to take this"...... But for a legendary scholar known as the "walking encyclopedia", a true polymath, this is simply a great disgrace.

Glazer smiled helplessly, and then looked at another teacher who "grew up by the sea", "native", "fisherman's son", "discovered this fishing song fifty years ago", but "still hasn't figured anything out".

How annoyed Mu Yan was, how embarrassed Teacher Zha was. Eventually, he was humiliated and got up and went into the kitchen.

"Alas...... Look away, little one. ”

Glazer patted the back of Mu Yan's head and motioned for him to cheer up.

Our scholar looked up, and it was not difficult to tell from his expression that he was still immersed in some kind of thought, and that there were words in his mouth.

“…… In other words, the end result is that Shireen is sent to the Endless Sea, and then Philo will go to her, perhaps with the help of the Tower...... This means that when the Tower is destroyed by us, someone will have to step up to his aid in order to achieve a similar effect, reach the Endless Sea, and obtain the Pure White Orb......"

"So you're heading again?" Glazer asked after taking a sip of tea.

"yes, yes, I have a clue."

Mu Yan sat up straight: "It's just that how to appease that kid is a big problem now, and how do we deal with the mess left by the Elemental Tower." ”

"Now that the two Popes are dead, and we still have this barrier above our heads, can't we just destroy the Tower?"

"No, the Tower is deeply rooted, and even among the nobility there are a large number of believers - not just in monetary exchanges, but also in the fact that some of them have received gifts from the gods to eliminate diseases, slow down aging, or be gifted to the caster, etc...... The combined energy of this group of people is not much weaker than that of the Council family, and as an outsider, once I make a move, it will inevitably cause even more turmoil, even with the help of the Council family, not to mention that I don't want to rely too much on an old fox like Clark. I've got to think about how to divide them from within......"

Mu Yan stood up and was about to leave, when Glazer suddenly stopped him.

"You seemed surprised when I told you where the other 'me' was going...... Do you know that place? ”

Mu Yan looked back and thought about it, "Do you mean the Fallen Palace?" ”

"Hmm...... Beneath the wilderness adjacent to the Kadra Heights? ”

"That's it." Mu Yan nodded, "That's there, that's Leorick's stronghold after returning from Heru, and Teacher Damian was tricked into joining by him. If Leorek hadn't died, it would have been full of necromancers and flesh golems by now. It's not much better now, though, and the Elemental Tower seems to be hiding something there. ”

"You know a lot about the Fallen Palace?"

Mu Yan smiled, "If it hadn't been transformed, I would have even been able to write its structure diagram silently." He suddenly realized something, and smiled at Glazer: "Teacher, I will let Ricky go to find out the situation first, so don't act rashly." There is nothing to talk about. ”

The old mage was a little helpless, he also expected the apprentice to be so resolute, so he simply waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down again.

"You should know what is about to happen in Fa Lan City, and you know your position in it."

Mu Yan nodded.

"The curtain is about to open, the stage is about to be built, and now it's time to put on a good show to wake up the sleeping people of Jialan...... As the main actor, you must not be absent. ”

"So ......"

"So the one who really can't put yourself at risk is you. I understand your intentions, you let Ricky find out, and then I'll go there alone. First, you're familiar with it, and second, you're extremely resistant to divine powers, so you don't think Ikali will necessarily be able to stop you, right? ”

Mu Yan was silent, he really thought so.

"But," the old mage said, "but have you forgotten what happened today?" You are a pure human being, when the energy fluctuates beyond a critical point, you will fall into an uncontrollable shock, this is God's prerogative to man, you can only adapt through practice again and again, and cannot be overcome by willpower, but there is no opportunity for you to adapt right now. ”

"But ......"

"No, my child." Glazer patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, I also saw something in Paul's memory, entrenched in the palace of the fallen is another me and his elemental puppets, the only danger is that he can communicate with Ikali at any time, this is no more dangerous for you." But I'm different, I've had the experience of confronting Ikali, and it's up to me to put an end to all of this, to end the mistake that 'me' made with my own hands. ”

"Hey, did you forget that kid has a teacher?"

Teacher Zha came out and said with an unhappy expression: "You are not the only one here who has faced Ikali directly, my performance is even better than some people, I blew up in front of her." ”

"You still owe a lot of money to the Turings, don't you?" Glazer smiled, "You don't say it, but I can see it." For more than 700 years, Turing people have resisted the infiltration of the tower and prevented them from invading a single bit, although there are other objective factors in this, but in essence, it is the tenacity and unyielding nature of Turing people. But what about you? You've dug up people's ancestral graves, you've wandered around with the bones of Celio, the leader of the Rooks, and Turing still has a wanted warrant for Damian Jones...... And, you have Miss Grace. We all know that this trip is dangerous, and now it's about minimizing the expected risk, isn't it? ”

Teacher Zha looked at him deeply, didn't say anything, and turned to go into the kitchen.

Glazer pursed his lips and smiled at Mu Yan.

"That's it."

He seemed to be saying that.

Helpless, Mu Yan had no choice but to spread his hands: "Okay, I will share everything I know with you." ”

……

An hour later, Ricky brought the news.

With the death of two Popes in a row, the Elemental Tower was also in a panic at this time, and the remaining priests could only barely stabilize the situation. But there are many smart people among them, and the insiders immediately blocked the underground mine tunnel of Elemental Alley, and even the craftsmen responsible for filling it were buried in it, and now basically not many people know this secret.

At the same time, Shadow Footsteps caught several groups of Tower Knights trying to leave one after another in the intelligence network outside Falan City. With Miller's help, the group of people who were not controlled by the brand, but were simply bewitched by the tower, temporarily gave up their resistance and were imprisoned at the Blood Eagle Farm, which once served as a syndicate stronghold.

Seeing that noon was approaching, Mu Yan had to put aside these things for the time being and turn to deal with another trouble.
