"Mentor, what's the matter?" Hurrying back to Violet Castle, Carlin asked immediately.

It's not just him, Khadgar is here too.

And their mentor, Archmage Antonidas, stood there with a serious expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something......

"It's unfortunate news that Archmage Alexis is missing!" His voice was a little low: "He hasn't had any contact with anyone in four months, and I very much suspect he's dead!" ”

"What!" Whether it was Karin or Khadgar, their faces changed at this time.

Alexis - Froststorm, 51 years old, is a mage of the Eight Rings of Plastic Energy, and a member of the Council of Six in Dalaran! Carlin had an impression of the mage, a kind-faced, but unfathomable middle-aged man who had taught him how to use the Ice Barrier during his last visit to Violet Castle...... Such a powerful mage, even if he is unable to resist in the face of a strong enemy, it is only natural for him to flee or send a distress signal to Dalaran!

"Who dares to provoke Dalaran like this?" Khadgar asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's not a mortal...... Antonidas said lightly, "Some people suspect that it was the hand of the demon!" ”

He thought about it for a moment and decided not to tell the two students the truth about what Merry and Naloras had just told him...... It's not that they don't trust, it's that the strength of the two of them is a little weaker, and there is a possibility that someone will use spiritual magic and leak their secrets.

"Demons?" Khadgar pouted, "I thought they were just legends!" ”

"Is the devil going to invade our world again?" Carlin asked as he frowned.

According to the time calculation, it will probably not be long before the dark door will be opened.

"It's a possibility!" Antonidas said with a serious face: "So you should go to Alexis's mage tower now, look for the relics left by it, and see if you can find any clues?" ”

"Yes, Mentor!" Karin and Khadgar replied in unison.

……

The Mage Tower of Archmage Alexis, located at the southernmost point of Dalaran.

It looks tall and ancient, and this mage tower has been around for almost 3,000 years...... It has always been hereditary from the family of Archmage Alexis, but considering that Alexis has no heirs, this inheritance is likely to be broken!

After vaguely informing the magical minions at the door, the minions brought Karin and Khadgar to the tower.

"Wait a moment, Lord Alexis's disciple will be here soon!"

A few minutes later, a young female human mage.

To his surprise, Carlin discovers that this is an acquaintance.

"Miss Polly?" He said in surprise.

Polly Monie, the human female mage who was enthusiastic at the Violet Banquet. Originally, her dream was to become a student of Archmage Modra, but she didn't expect to be valued by Alexis...... However, the city of Dalaran was large, and Carlin was reluctant to wander out often; In the more than a year since he became a student of Antonidas, Carlin doesn't seem to have any more intersections with her!

"Mr. Carlin...... It's been a long time since we've seen each other! Obviously, Polly was also impressed by the elven mage: "If it weren't for such an unfortunate thing, I would definitely invite you to a meal!" ”

She looked a little flustered, and her gray-black hair was also a little messy at this time...... Obviously, the disappearance of the mentor hurt her a lot, and the high-level Dalaran must have issued a gag order to her in order to maintain stability.

"Carlin, who is she?" Khadgar poked his head out and asked softly.

"Uh...... A friend ......"

"Wow, Karin, are you ...... It's really a lot of friends! Khadgar couldn't help but sarcastic.

"Don't talk nonsense...... Got down to business! Carlin gave him a blank look.

……

"The Mentor left four months ago!" Polly told them: "He left with a very anxious face, as if he had something important, and told me that he would be away for at least a month......"

"Can I go to Lord Alexis's study and see his stuff?" Carlin asked calmly.

"This ......" Polly's face was a little hesitant.

Any archmage would probably have an extreme aversion to someone touching his personal belongings, even his students......

"We have permission from Speaker Antonidas!" Khadgar hurriedly pulled out a scroll.

"Okay!" Polly nodded, "You come with me." ”

She led the two of them to a hut on the top floor of the tower, passing through layers of protection along the way.

As a mage's study, it is full of all kinds of magic books and scrolls, and there are several more precious magic materials on the table...... However, it was covered with a thick layer of dust, after all, no one had been here for months.

"Lord Alexis isn't going to release any dangerous protective magic on these things, right?" Khadgar asked cautiously.

"That's probably not the case, usually if he's not in the castle, if he needs something, he will let me go directly into the study and get it!" Polly shook her head.

Karin and Khadgar glanced at each other, "Search it!" ”

Although Polly Monie has denied the danger of this study, Carlin is cautious, after all, there was once a powerful eight-ring mage living here.

"What is this?" Khadgar picked up a small jar with some caution: "It's so delicately sealed...... There is also magic protection released outside! ”

He waved his staff, took a few steps away from the jar, and slowly opened it with a "lockpicking......

Then commanding a little of the contents of the jar, floating in the air:

"Crimson, powdery solid ......"

"This ...... It seems to be the Kazmodan black tea that the tutor often drinks......" Polly smiled a little embarrassed: "Because it is very easy to spoil, the tutor kept it like this!" ”

"Is that so?" Khadgar stuck out his tongue and closed the jar again.

Carlin smiled as well, turned around, and opened the drawer of his desk.

The drawers had been locked with locks before, but Polly had already brought them the keys.

A golden notebook, quietly in a drawer.

Carlin picked up the notebook and tried to open it, only to find that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it.

It has released magic protection, and it is a very deep magic.

"What is this?" He asked Polly softly.

"I don't know!" Polly deliberately looked at it a few more times, but still shook her head: "I've never looked at this notebook before......"

Carlin frowned.

"Khadgar, put it away, and I'll take it back and show it to my mentor!"
