Chapter 132: Layout (3)
Sharon? Lange walked down from the tower of the Seven Dawn Mages Guild headquarters with a tired face.
Although he is a great magician, he is already old after all, and after receiving information from Xiwei and informing the eldest princess of Evanterin, he rushed to the headquarters of the association overnight, explained to the president Shaman, and launched an emergency notice to convene the other members of the mage council, and after discussing and discussing for a night, he was already a little overwhelmed.
On the handrail of the staircase carved from yellow huā pear wood, a statue of a bad demon squatting there grinned and said, "Oops, isn't this Lord Sharon~ Why do you look sad?" Sure enough, people can't do it when they're old~"
"Shut up." Lady Sharon scolded softly, waved her wand, and the statue of the devil that was still in its mouth turned into a croaking toad.
Despite the frightened look of the toad, Mrs. Sharon continued down the stairs, and below the stairs was a small room with no doors or windows. Lady Sharon walked over as if she hadn't seen the wall in front of her, and then she walked through the other side of the wall as if she had been submerged in it.
This is one of the measures taken by the Seven Yao Mages Association to protect the core tower. The wall was magical, and if it didn't have some authentication permissions, it would be real, and even if the wall was destroyed, it would only see the outside of the tower, and there was no way to enter the tower. With a pass or clearance, the wall becomes a door to the tower.
"Teacher." Evangeline, who had been there for a long time, immediately greeted her, after Lady Sharon rushed here with the five-ring wind elemental magic. She also rushed over on the Oak Heart as soon as she was done with the business at hand. However, even Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of a country, is not an important person in the headquarters of the Qiyao Mage Association, she has been sitting in the meeting room for most of the night, and she didn't come here until she felt that the meeting should be over not long ago: "Does the Mage Council have a plan for dealing with those vampire conspiracies?" ”
"Nope." Lady Sharon shook her head, everyone except Sharman was suspicious of the other party's intention to resurrect the Demon King.
You must know that even if it happened before, the other party wanted to resurrect the ancient demon through some method. There are some who remain skeptical - because although many humans have disappeared so far, not a single trace of an ancient demon has been found.
And the only person who saw the ancient demon abyss serpent was the person concerned, Xiwei. What is said cannot be used as testimony either.
However, it was this Xiwei who once again made the discovery that 'the other party wants to resurrect the demon king', even if he has begun to be hunted down by vampires, his credibility is still not high for others.
"Although I don't think the boy will lie. But after all, there is still no definite evidence for his inference, and there is no way to judge. ”
Lady Sharon whispered as she walked with the maiden to the Oak Heart, which was moored outside the Guild. Because she had to rush back to Kou Lì An to preside over a lot of things in the magical world over there, she couldn't enjoy it here.
"Of course, there is no doubt that the young man was attacked, and they also promised to let the students below pay more attention to the movements of the Night Nobles during this time." Lady Sharon still seemed unhappy with the outcome of the incident, but said, "They also intend to posthumously award Edric a second-class Merlin medal for his contributions. What about you? ”
"I can't do it here," Princess Evangeline sighed exaggeratedly, and said helplessly: "Those nobles don't believe that the demon king will be resurrected at all, let alone convene an emergency king's council. I can't even inform the kings of other countries. ”
…,
This can't be blamed on those nobles, you have to know that the demon king of the last era of the road is just a legendary thing for those nobles. Telling them that the Demon King is about to be resurrected at night is like catching someone in the Celestial Empire and saying, 'Tomorrow Hou Yi will run out of the ground and shoot out the last sun', and there will be no other result than to feel ridiculous.
As they spoke, they had returned to the Oak Heart. The huge magic ship retracted its anchor at the signal of Lady Sharon, and began to float slowly, turning its bow and flying in the direction of the Empire.
Evangeline, who was following behind Mrs. Sharon, held her chin and thought for a while, and then asked Mrs. Sharon in a low voice, "Teacher, did you say that Mr. Edrick is really dead?" ”
As the princess of Ann. She did not live in the Mage Tower like Lady Sharon's other students, but still lived in the palace. So she wasn't directly involved in the correspondence between Sivi and Lady Sharon, but only heard a little bit from Lady Sharon. After that, before she could recover from her senses, the news of Sivi's death came from the royal family's intelligence network. No matter which news can be regarded as a bombshell, let alone two together, so it is only now that the girl has the time to think about whether the news of Sivi's death is true.
"After he contacted me at the very least, he said a word." Mrs. Sharon looked at the sky to the east, which had begun to glow white, and her slightly sleepy mind was much clearer by the fresh air of the early morning: "'See you again in three months.'" ’”
Evangeline first showed a somewhat puzzled expression - it stands to reason that the words were just a very common goodbye, nothing special. But she also understood immediately: since she had discovered the conspiracy of the Night Nobles and revealed it to Lady Sharon, then Sivi would definitely have been summoned and interrogated by several other great magicians in the recent past, and Lady Sharon, as a member of the Mage Council, could naturally meet from time to time. However, he made it clear that he wouldn't see each other until three months later, which clearly shows that he was going to leave for at least three months in some way!
"Assassinated by a vampire...... Is this already in his plan? Evanterine looked at Lady Sharon with a little surprise.
"I'm afraid that's it." Lady Sharon nodded, and a smile appeared on her face that had been carved into the wrinkles of time: "Let's wait and see how he will appear in three months." ”
On the edge of the Eastern Plains, the Cliff of the Western Continent, a pure-blood fortress.
This is the largest room in the dark castle, the room is full of red scarf pendants, making the whole room as bright red as a blood cave, and the floor is paved with white marble, but there are gorgeous blood patterns on those marbles, and there are candles in the hollow pumpkins carved with strange patterns, and the flickering light and strange shadows make the atmosphere of the whole room even more weird, plus the red bats that fly by from time to time, this room can be said to be a place where there will be no sense of disobedience when shooting horror movies.
In the middle of the room, there is a large bed that can lie down more than ten people without being too crowded, the material of the bed looks a little like jade and some like ivory, and the edge of the bed is also covered with a red tent, and only a graceful figure can be vaguely seen inside.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and a pale black-robed man walked in briskly from the outside, and the click of hard-soled boots on the marble echoed in the room, which was extremely harsh.
"Your Royal Highness Princess......" When he walked to the side of the big bed, the black-robed man stopped, and he gracefully bowed to the bed: "What you want your subordinates to do has been completed." ”
"Is that so?" With a lazy tone as if he hadn't woken up yet, a voice that made people's hearts sway came from the big bed: "Good work, Cage." ”
…,
"It's a privilege to be able to serve you."
Struggling to keep his sanity, the black-robed man bowed to the big bed again.
Although Her Royal Highness the Princess's strength is said to have reached the duke-level, what is really terrifying about her is the kind of charm ability that even a prince-level vampire can't resist. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't plan to charm anyone now, and the curtain was tightly covered, I am afraid that she, a vampire worthy of stepping into the marquis, would have been unable to help but pounce on the bed.
Of course, if you do that, the end will obviously be miserable...... For example, being caught out of the sun and pouring onion water into the nose or something.
"Although it is only a small human magician, it is not a big deal, but it has repeatedly sabotaged our plans, and if we don't make an example of the monkeys, it will be difficult to guarantee the prestige of our night nobles. I don't want the Vampire traitors of Crimson Gold or Thorn Rose to work with humans while our plans are going well. In the curtain, the lazy voice of the vampire princess came out, but the content was unexpectedly serious: "What about the magic tools guarded by the half-elf village?" ”
"My subordinates have asked the villagers through hypnosis, and their statements are very consistent. After the magic equipment was stolen by the orphans in the village, it was damaged in the battle with the magician. ”
Cage's face was not very good-looking, after all, for him, the task of finding magic tools was obviously above the task of assassinating Sivi.
"Magic tools cannot be destroyed by humans. At least not the average human. The vampire princess's voice didn't change, but it gave people a meaningful feeling: "If it's not hidden, then I'm afraid that before it was destroyed, the 'that' in the magic tool has been repackaged into something else." ”
"What do you mean ......"
"Where is that orphan now?"
"My subordinates will check it out right away." The black-robed man immediately planned to confess and leave, to find out the whereabouts of the orphan.
"Don't act rashly after finding out, the mage association of the human race may have set its sights on that side now. Once you've determined where the orphans are, let's go collect the other magic tools. Anyway, this is just insurance after the plan fails......"
"The subordinate understood.
