Chapter 574: The Messenger
It only took two days to return to the Tower of Dusk from the Blackstone Mountains, but when they settled Nofil and Uyi Fasiru to go to Wuyun Town, they found that Wuyun Town seemed to have been baptized by war, and there were collapsed houses everywhere.
"What's going on, where have all the people gone?" Seeing such a scene, Lin Li immediately had a bad thought in his heart. He used his spiritual power to sweep the entire Dark Cloud Town, but he couldn't even find anyone who could ask questions.
Lin Li didn't care about hiding the undead servants around him, and led them directly to the Tower of Dusk, fortunately, looking at the appearance of the Tower of Dusk, there was no sign of being attacked. It was only when he walked into the Tower of Dusk that he found that the magicians inside were gone, deserted and lifeless.
"Grown? It's the grown-ups who are back! Just as Lin Li was standing in the middle of the hall and trying to find someone to question, a middle-aged magician ran out with excitement on his face.
"Maleka?" Lin Li could barely remember the name of the middle-aged magician. Just like in school, there are often two kinds of people who are impressive, one is the top learner and the other is the bottom of the study. And this Boleka is not very talented in magic, and he is only at the level of an eighth-level magician in his forties.
"Lord, it's really you, I'm Maleka." It was quite exciting for the elders to remember his name.
"Oh, Maleka, what happened here while I wasn't there, where did everyone else go?" Lin Li asked strangely.
"Elder, here's the thing," it was rare to have this kind of opportunity to talk to this young elder, and Maleka easily suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then said to Lin Li: "About two months ago, shortly after the Elder's departure, the people of the Char bandit group attacked Dark Cloud Town, knocked down the church in the center of the town, and I don't know what was dug out of it. ”
"It's Char's bandit group again, and these idiots really don't know whether to live or die." As soon as Lin Li heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, could the courage of this Char thief group be a little too big?
When he first heard about the origin of Char's bandit group before, he actually had some sympathy for them from the bottom of his heart, but sympathy does not mean that he can indulge them to do whatever they want, not to mention, the sneak attack near the death mark has long since lost the only sympathy that Lin Li had.
It seems that they really have to find a chance to go to the Dragon Mountain Range and solve the remaining members of Char's Thieves Group as well...... "They attacked Dark Cloud Town?" I passed by there on my way back, and all the people in the town ......"
"Lord, we rushed over as soon as we got the news, but there were still many people killed, and we only saved some of them and temporarily settled them somewhere else." Maleka knew that the elder was close to the people of Dark Cloud Town, so he hurriedly added.
"Uncle Sarat, what about them," Lin Li had lived in Dark Cloud Town for a while, and those days were the days when he felt calm after he arrived on the Anriel Continent, which made him feel like he had returned to before he crossed over. Most of the people in the town are like neighbors in their hometown when they were young, kind and casual. For example, the neighbor old Salate, the kind old man who opened a small blacksmith shop, and the landlord, Aunt Susan, and the little jack who brought fruit to himself, and so on.
Maleka's face was a little ugly, and he said squeaked, "Lord, we ...... When we arrived, old Salat was already ...... Already ......"
"Well, I see...... Lin Li nodded, his expression on his face didn't change much, but these simple words sounded like a piece of frozen ice in Bercarai's ears, and it was terrifyingly cold...... "By the way, what about the others?" Glancing into the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li's face showed a little doubt, Sendros seemed to have said that more than two months ago, the magicians under his command had returned, why was the Tower of Dusk still deserted now?
Although he knew that it was not aimed at him, the cold tone of the elder still made Maleka shiver for no reason, and hurriedly said: "President Grean, they came back more than a month after the incident, and after hearing about this incident, President Grean said that he would take someone to settle accounts with the people of Char's bandit group, and the others couldn't persuade him, so he went with him." ”
"Yes." Lin Li's tense face finally eased a little, which was very in line with Gray's temper, but then, Lin Li's face showed a little doubt: "When did they leave?" ”
"Lord, they set off a few days after they came back and found out about it, probably more than two months." Bureka said she was a little worried.
"What, more than two months!" Lin Li was taken aback when he heard this. Fan Golei, the boss of the Char bandit group, took the elite of the bandit group to ambush himself in the Blackstone Mountains, and then killed no one by himself, it can be said that the Char bandit group has existed in name only. Although the power of the Tower of Dusk is not very strong at this time, it does not take much effort to deal with the remnants of the Char bandit group. Thinking of this, he asked, "Do you know what they encountered, why they haven't come back for so long." ”
Maleka shook his head and said, "When President Greion left, he just told me to wait for you to come back, and I haven't received any news from them for more than two months. ”
"Hell......" Lin Li scolded in a low voice, all this is already very clear, Gray is a great magician, plus several magicians, a large group of magicians, to deal with the Char thieves who have already existed in name, it will take more than two months, what is this not a joke?
Lin Li even dared to bet with his head that what Graian was directly facing now was definitely not the remnants of the Char Thieves group.
There is no doubt that there is a force that is not weak and is supporting Char's thieves!
But which one is it...... Although there are many people who can confront the Tower of Twilight head-on, but those who dare to take this risk will not be able to find one, after all, at the inauguration ceremony of the president, the names of the guests have been spread throughout Doland, and it is impossible for them to ignore the consequences, for a char thief group that has already existed in name, to offend the Tower of Twilight, which is getting stronger and stronger and has a close relationship with many strong people, which fool would do this kind of loss-making business?
Lin Li's face was cloudy, but the Bercarley next to him was trembling, for fear that the young president would take his anger out on him: "Yes...... Grown, I've asked to go with you, but ......"
"Oh, it's none of your business......" Listening to Berkale's rambling defense, Lin Licai came back from his thoughts, and hurriedly waved his hand, signaling the mage who was not very talented to relax: "You continue to stay in the Tower of Dusk, I will go to the Dragon Mountain Range once." ”
However, just after walking out of the door, Lin Li suddenly remembered one thing, Char's thieves group was involved with the Marfa family at the beginning, listening to Hutton's meaning, the relationship between the two sides seems to be quite good, at least there are a lot of business contacts, otherwise, Van Gorey would not have obeyed Hutton's orders and attacked himself near the death mark.
So this time, will it have something to do with the Marfa family?
By the way, and the thing under the church, I seem to have heard someone from the Marfa family mention it...... "Bercarlet." Thinking of this, Lin Li's feet, which had already taken a step, suddenly stopped again.
"Lord, what do you command?" Bercarle hurriedly trotted two steps in front of Lin Li.
"Write a letter in my name for someone to send to Arminia and give it to the people of the family Marfa."
"Yes." Bercarley nodded respectfully, and then asked cautiously: "Then Lord Elder, ......what is the content of this letter?"
"Tell the Marfa family that their ally, the Breeze Plains Magic Guild, will sweep away the remnants of the Char Thieves within a week, and ask them to send a group of magicians at least level ten or above to assist in accordance with the alliance's agreement."
"This ......" Bercale was visibly stunned, when did the Tower of Dusk form an alliance with the Marfa family?
And the Marfa family is not an ordinary strength, although Bercarle has never left Doland, but he still has enough understanding of this gangster family far away in Arminia.
The Marfa family rose two hundred years ago, Leo Marfa, the most powerful adventurer in the history of the Light Wind Plains, was the first patriarch of the Marfa family, and now more than two hundred years later, this gangster family has almost monopolized all the underground business in Arminia, and even became the de facto ruler of the entire Arminia.
This is a true behemoth, and apart from the Dark Blade, which is also rooted in Arminia, there is hardly any force within a thousand miles that can stand up to the Marfa family.
Compared to the Marfa family, the Tower of Dusk that has just been built can be said to be nothing to mention.
It is precisely because of this that Berkale has a little more hesitation on his face: "This ...... Well, Elder, are we going to use a little ...... A little bit of a revision? ”
"No, you can write whatever I say." Lin Li shook his head, glanced at Berkale a little strangely, and thought to himself if there was something wrong with his wording?
"And what about the messenger, do you want me to go to Arminia myself......"
"If you go, who will stay behind in the Tower of Dusk? Don't bother, just find someone to send it......" After Lin Li hurriedly explained a few words, he called Nophile and Uy Farusi, who had been waiting beside him, and turned around and left the Tower of Dusk.
"Hey......" Bercarlet looked at Lin Li's distant back, and shook his head helplessly, secretly regretting in his heart, President Ferre is still too young...... Although for a period of time, Bercarley has gradually realized that the young leader who leads the guild is far from being comparable to ordinary young magicians, but this time Bercarley feels that the shortcomings of the elder's youth have finally been exposed.
What is the origin of the Marfa family? That is a behemoth that rules the whole of Arminia, how can a small magic guild support it? Looking at what President Ferrey just explained, he simply regarded the Marfa family as a follower, and even limited the strength of the people sent by others, if he was the patriarch of the Marfa family, he was afraid that he would not even pay attention to it at all, and just throw the letter into the waste paper pile...... waited until Lin Li's back was no longer visible, then Berkale shook his head, turned around and entered the Tower of Dusk, spread out the letter and began to think about it, Bercale was thinking about how to write this letter, Ferre will be young and ignorant, he can't write casually, otherwise the help of his allies will not come, but it will be troublesome to provoke a strong enemy.................. In the city of Arminia, in front of the gate of the Marfa family, a dusty carriage slowly stopped. A middle-aged magician, with a tired face, got out of the car, paid the fare and walked up the steps, if Lin stood here, he must be recognizable at a glance, this middle-aged magician is the Berkale who he arranged to stay behind.
Although he was arranged by the elder to stay behind, but in Bercarley's thoughts, with the prestige and status of the Marfa family, even if the elder came in person, he was qualified, and now just sending a letter to a magician with a low status in the Tower of Dusk was already considered rude to the Marfa family, but he didn't dare to really find two random people to send the letter like the elder said...... "Stop, what are you doing." "The guards of the Marfa family in front of the gate unceremoniously stopped the people.
"The Magical Guild of the Plains of Light Wind, the messenger of the Tower of Dusk, the eighth-level magician Maleka, begging to see the patriarch of the Marfa family," after Maleka took over the task of the president, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurried around the clock, and finally arrived at Marfa's house two days later.
"What the Tower of Dusk, why haven't I heard of it," the guard in front of the door said with a disdainful expression as he looked Maleka up and down.
Although the status of the magician is relatively high, but after all, Boleka is only an eighth-level little magician, and in the land of the Light Wind Plain, there is indeed something that cannot be put on the table. Don't look at the guard, who is just looking at the gate, but after all, there is the Marfa family behind him, where would he put an eighth-level magician in his eyes.
"You dare to deceive the Marfa family, I see if you are impatient." The other guard said, gripping the hilt of his sword.
"Two, be accommodating, I really have something urgent......"
"If you can't go, do you think that anyone in the Marfa family can enter, and if you don't go, be careful that Lao Tzu cuts off your head." The guard choked and drew his sword in half, the reflected sunlight shining on Maleka's eyes.
"What's the noise, what kind of place is this, isn't it a shame!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Maleka.
The two guards hurriedly stood up and saluted, and shouted in unison, "Master Hutton!" ”
Hutton led the two men up the steps, looked at their guards, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Young Master Hutton, this man claims to be the messenger of the Tower of Dusk, and as soon as he comes, he clamored to see the patriarch," one of the guards said, pointing to Maleka.
