Chapter 121: The Death of the Court Mage
No one expected the sudden change.
Varian left, and under the close escort of the guards, Carlin could even feel that there were several breaths hidden in the shadows......
Probably MI7 thieves who are responsible for protecting Varian!
Carlin also hurriedly left the cultivation ground, and the direction he headed was not the mage tower where the incident occurred, but the hut where Medivan was resting......
The maid who had fed the griffons was still standing in the doorway.
Carlin hurriedly ran over, grabbed her by the sleeve and asked, "Hello, miss." Has the Astral Mage ever come out? ”
The sudden approach of an elegant elven mage made the maid a little nervous, and her voice was low: "No...... Mistress Medivan has been in the room...... I just heard her snoring......"
"Okay, thanks." Carlin let go of her sleeves.
The maid's face flushed slightly, and she looked away......
Carlin paused at Medivan's door, then knocked on the door......
"Who?" Madven's languid voice came from inside.
"My lord, it's me!" Carlin hurriedly pushed the door open.
Medivan sat on the edge of the bed, putting on his usual black robe.
"Coincidentally, I just woke up, and after a little rest, I feel pretty good!" Medivan said lightly, "What's the matter?" ”
Carlin noticed that there was something strange about Medivan's tone......
He said calmly, "Yes, I heard that Lord Hagrin, the court mage of Stormwind Fortress, has just been killed......"
"Oh my!" Medivan covered his mouth: "Haglin, he's actually dead...... Follow me! ”
As he spoke, Medivan ran out quickly.
A normal Medivan would never be so polite and explain to himself about that little thing just now; Not even more, to make a fuss about the death of a court mage; Carlin thought inwardly.
He looked down at the "enemy fencing" that Medivan had given him.
Without leaving a trace, Carlin gently pulled it out of its scabbard for a short ...... A faint silver light emanated from the blade of the sword.
Once again, without leaving a trace, Carlin thrust the blade back into its scabbard, then caught up with Medivan's pace.
Under the shadows of the sun, he quietly discovered that Medivan had two shadows.
……
At the top of one of the spires of Stormstormhold, Medivan strode up with Karin.
Through the windows of this spire, you can get a bird's-eye view of Stormwind, but not anymore......
King Lane, Anduin-Lothar, and several of the nobles of Stormwind, including the Duke of Shadombrick, whom Carlin had met before, were all gathered around at this time.
"What's going on, Ryan, Anduin!" Medivan strode in, ignoring the nobles and asked directly.
"You're here, Mad......" Lothar pointed to the tragedy in front of him and said, "Look! ”
The situation is indeed a bit tragic...... It was as if something had struck the entire study, whether it was books, magical objects, or even furniture, all of them had become fragmented!
The court mage "Haglin", he was lying on the ground, unrecognizable...... Yes, most of his face was burned to black coals by the flames, and there was a large black hole in his chest, and his heart was gouged out!
And on the floor, a ring of rune structure appeared, on which some words were inscribed......
This ring is no stranger to Carlin, a summoning circle that the orc warlock relied on to summon Cerberus in the first place.
A girl, who was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, wept and said:
"I had been cleaning downstairs when I suddenly heard a scream from Lord Hamlin upstairs, and I hurried up to see what was going on...... On the stairs I heard something break out of the window...... And then...... Then ......"
Anduin-Lothar walked up to her and comforted her softly, "It's okay child, you're actually very lucky; If you had entered this room a little earlier, perhaps you would have had the same fate as poor Hamlin...... And now, you're safe! ”
"Thank you, Lord Lothar!" Lothar's words seemed to have a strong contagious effect, causing the girl to wipe away her tears.
"Who the hell is it!" King Ryan-Ureon said in a deep voice, "Who infiltrated my fortress, killed my chief mage, and then walked away?" ”
"No, Ryan!" Medivan spoke: "Maybe your thinking has fallen into some kind of misunderstanding......"
"Misunderstanding?" Ryan looked up, "Mad, what do you think?" ”
The Astral Mage closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something: "Very interesting......"
"Can I have a little opinion on this?" Carlin said suddenly.
"Of course, Mad's assistant!" King Ryan said without thinking.
Lothar, on the side, glanced at Carlin in surprise.
"Something is hidden!" Carlin whispered, "However, there is always only one truth!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed his index finger at the ring on the ground: "This seemingly ordinary rune, I'm lucky to have seen it...... It's a magic circle that summons demons! ”
"Demons?" King Ryan suddenly frowned, "You mean my court mage tried to summon a demon in Stormstormhold?" ”
"I'm just elaborating on this possibility, Your Majesty!" Carlin continued, "This is Master Hagrin's Mage Tower, and I believe that this summoning circle in the center of the study on the top floor can only belong to him!" ”
"Maybe Lord Halgrin is not doing his own thing, but has fallen into some kind of trap!" Carlin continued, "And the demon he summoned killed him in the first place, and then escaped. ”
King Lane was lost in thought again.
Lothar, on the other hand, glanced at Carlin quietly.
"To any mage, no matter how knowledgeable, wise, or powerful; But there is always more power, more knowledge, more mysteries for them to seek! Medivan said slowly:
"My assistant guessed right...... Poor Halglin may have gone astray in this way! ”
"Then the question is......" King Ryan looked up, "is that monster still lurking in my fortress?" ”
"Ryan, don't worry!" Lothar said: "Within minutes of the incident, I have sent the Griffin Knights to completely surround the entire fortress, and it will not be able to escape!" ”
"Then I'll be responsible for finding it out!" A smile appeared on the corner of Medivan's mouth...... Then he flew out along the breach in the window.
"Mader's injuries don't seem to be healed yet......" Lothar and King Ryan discussed there.
And Carlin bent down and took a closer look at the corpse of Archmage Hallin...... The wound in the heart was so regular that it wouldn't have been a demon's claw scratch at all; Rather, it is a mark of a sharp cut.
