Act XXIII: The Elders (II)
Act 23 Elders (II)
Some of the harsh sunlight shone down on the street, and there were passers-by from time to time. These people all had a hurried look on their faces, they didn't wear a lot of clothes, and some of them were still wiping the sweat from their heads from time to time. The sound of cicadas constantly came to the ears of passers-by, making the summer day even more dry.
Avis and Ge Tongluo walked through the bustling streets, and their path became more and more deviant, until they came to a somewhat dilapidated building. Ge Tongluo raised his head, looked at the building, and said, "This is it." As he spoke, Ge Tongluo put his hand on the doorknob, and with a slight force, the old wooden door in disrepair made a 'crunch' sound. And after pushing open the door, Ge Tongluo walked in with an indifferent face.
Avis hesitated for a moment, then followed behind Ge Tongluo.
In the conversation at the inn just now, Ives had a rough understanding of their situation.
They are wanted by the division of the Silvermoon Council. Of course, this division is also the nominal supreme council head of the Issengo region, directly under the Vidora Supreme Council. If the garrison can't find Avis and Ge Tongluo for a long time, this division will personally use the use of prophecy spells to locate the specific locations of Avis and Ge Tongluo.
After all, the Moon Elves are also one of the ruling classes of Vidora, and at the Vidora Supreme Council, one of the legendary mages of the Moon Elves is also on the table. Therefore, the strength of this council elder of the Silver Moon Council is almost undoubted. If the wanted warrant could not be lifted, perhaps they would not have to reach the city of Paffy, and they would have been surrounded by countless troops.
"Actually, I'm still curious. How did our matter alarm the Elder of the Moon Elves, who was almost the supreme leader of the Isengo region. Avis said with some frowns, "Generally. Ordinary events wouldn't allow such a high-level depositor to sign a wanted warrant, right? β
Ge Tongluo shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows what those upper echelons are doing, maybe there are too few wanted criminals?" Then he walked down the hallway. Here's a piece of information I found on the underground black market - there's a high-level Blazing Axe who has retired. As long as we can get this guy done, then the Blazing Axe won't be wanted for us any longer...... In that case, our wanted warrant will be lifted. β
"This guy lives in the middle of nowhere?" Ives looked around. Some of the rotten wood was blown by the wind, and there was a 'crunch' echo. The sun didn't shine into the dark corner, and a rotten smell greeted him, making Avis almost think he was in some dungeon.
"I knew Ilya and the others came with me......," Ives muttered to himself. Actually, just now, Ilya said, 'It's your business, isn't it?' This reason for refusing to come with them seems to them. Being wanted by the Blazing Axe for stealing, and then having the Blazing Axe give up the wanted is not a righteous thing in itself. Isinger wanted to come, but under the gaze of Ilya's 'kind' eyes, the little girl who was not firm in her position immediately gave up her decision to follow. This made Ives very sad, and it was really a lie to have a child together or something.
Walking down the long hallway, Avis and Elijah came to a living room. In the center of the old building, there is a somewhat dilapidated sand, and an old man is sitting on the sand. Gently sipping a glass of red wine, smoking a huge cigar, and reading the newspaper quite calmly. When Ives saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the cigar. Although Ives is not a smoking gun. But he also recognized that the price of this cigar was not low. It's hard to imagine that a man who could afford to smoke such a cigar would live in such a dilapidated and remote building.
Ge Tongluo didn't think too much about it, he came directly to the old man. After looking at the man for a while, he said, "Old Jack? β
The old man in front of him looked away from the crumpled newspaper in front of him. His somewhat cloudy eyes looked at Ge Tongluo, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. Then he said, "Who are you?" What are you looking for me? β
"I learned from a man who was drunk at the Bronton pub that I spent a Milan gold coin that you had a solution to my problem." Ge Tongluo's brows furrowed slightly, "But now that I think about it, this is how you brought me over." So that's the question I should be asking. Who are you, and what are you looking for me? β
The man who was called 'Old Jack' by Ge Tongluo suddenly laughed, he glanced at Ge Tongluo, and then at Avis, who seemed to be a little surprised, then leaned back, leaned on the sand, and finally took a deep breath of the cigar in his hand, and then slowly exhaled: "It seems that what Jurdan said is not wrong, you are really not ordinary people." β
"Jurdan?" Ge Tongluo's brows furrowed, and Avis was also a little stunned, and immediately, he felt a force coming from this room, this is the fluctuation of the teleportation spell, it seems that something has locked here in the distance, and is teleporting. Almost subconsciously, he touched the magic book on his waist. The heavy spellbook had a lot of magic recorded, but Ives couldn't cast the four-ring spell of 'Dimensional Anchor' at allβhe was just a three-ring mage.
Ge Tongluo also stood up immediately, and a dagger flashed in his hand. At this time, Old Jack, who still maintained his composure, took another sip of red wine with a smile on his face: "The 'Plague Dagger' from Marando, why do you want to get this cursed dagger?" I'm really curious. β
"This dagger was mine, old man." Ge Tongluo said, "I'm thinking about whether or not to kill this mage before he teleports over. β
"Trust me, you can't stand the consequences." Old Jack smiled and said, "Moreover, we have no ill will. You say yes, Avis? β
Avis's face changed slightly, he was now human, not half-elf. Almost no one could see through Aavis, who had been transformed by divinity, unless he was already close to the realm - that is, almost no one had this ability except for the beings who had stepped into the sanctuary, or the possessors of extremely strong divinity. To be continued......
