Grimm and Setty, who had escaped death, finally waited for reinforcements from the soldiers of the Desik Frontier Regiment, and after the fort sentinel sent a warning signal to the present, in just a few moments, the originally majestic Western Bridge was reduced to a pile of ruins.

The unkempt two, standing stupidly on the edge of the Grand Canyon and looking down, the twenty hunters who set off with Green this time all died from the assassins, including the leader Buniel. As for the Assassins, all but one fell off the Grand Canyon and the other two disappeared into the plain opposite the Grand Canyon.

The reluctant Desik soldier approached cautiously, led by an unknown officer, who whispered, "Lord Green, Lord Setty, are you all right?"

Green didn't speak, Setie turned his head and gave a look, signaling that it was okay for the time being, and the officer breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to go in the direction of the fort. In the distance, the roar of the local frontier regiment commander was heard, and the huge curse of anger resounded above the canyon.

Just a moment ago, the two squads of Desik soldiers at the bridgehead were all killed, except for the clever Kane, who escaped by hiding in the pile of dead. Fortunately, he is alive to tell the head of the regiment what happened just now.

Setie looked at the silent Green, for a long time, but decided to step forward to comfort, "Green, don't be sad, as hunters of the Adventurer's Guild, they should have been ready to sacrifice their lives for the cause of the Guild for a long time." ”

Green shook his head, "I'm sad not for this, I'm sad for the fact that after such a big sacrifice, our clues are all broken." ”

Setie continued, "The hard work pays off, and we can always catch them." If you go long, you will lose, and their organization, which has been moving so frequently recently, will always show its feet. ”

Green sighed, "I'm not afraid I won't be able to catch them. ”

"That's?"

"Since two years ago, they have made a big fuss about Kaman, then the Manning incident, and now even the Westside Bridge has been blown up by them. Moreover, they are hiding in the military tents of Tarim, who the hell is covering them. Setie, you say, can I not be worried?"

Setie was also silent.

After a long time, there was a trumpet in the distance, and the reinforcements from Tarim City finally arrived, and Green looked at the soldiers who were close to the canyon, "Let's go, Setie." ”

To the south of the continent, in the distant Kyoto City of San Jose Library, the room of the Grand Magister of Merlin.

A roll of parchment was spread out on the table, Merlin waved his hand, and golden writing floated on the parchment, and when you looked closely, it was a letter from Setty.

"Beloved Grand Magister Merlin, it has been more than forty days since he left San Jose, and the quest seems to be progressing. ”

"After leaving San Jose, my first stop was Manning City, Manning's investigation was already in the final stage, according to Green, the chief hunter of the Adventurers' Guild, the leader of the assassins was related to a famous killer organization Shadows a hundred years ago, so we rushed to the White Harbor Kingdom where this killer organization haunted back then. ”

...............

"In this way, we finally lost the Assassin, and the Bridge to the West was blown up by the magic circle. Yes, I have collected the remaining hedron fragments on the Westside Bridge, and according to my estimation of the abnormal movement of the magical elements in the air at that time, the lost hedron of Cape Island should have consumed only a small part. And judging from the structure of the stone bridge of the Western Bridge, such a small amount of spar combined with the magic array can produce such great power. ”

"We court magicians of San Jose have studied many magical applications on Cape Island, and these dark magicians seem to have mastered them very quickly, from the Manning incident to the Westside Bridge, all of which have been used by relying on two powerful magic arrays. ”

"The question now is, what other earth-shattering moves can they do with the remaining magic crystals. Chief Hunter Green has been depressed these days, he has lost many of his men, but he doesn't intend to give up, we have discussed, this dark organization is very purposeful, the more it drags on, the more worried we will be about what will happen. ”

"Archmage Merlin, I have decided not to return to San Jose for the time being, and continue to accompany the adventurer's guild to carry out the action, and be sure to recover the lost manuscript and hedrons. At the same time, I hope that the court magician can send two assistants to accompany me, the enemy's strength is indeed not weak, without the help of the magician, Green's side will not be able to support it. ”

The golden text on the parchment scroll slowly dimmed. With a slight sigh, Merlin raised his head, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, only to see the golden parchment, gradually floating in the air, spinning towards the window, and finally disappearing into the window.

On the border of Manning, between the hills and dirt slopes, a small pit, hidden in the bushes, two men in black, lit a small bonfire in the bushes. Here, thirty miles away from the Grand Canyon, from here, you can see the plains on the side of the Grand Canyon.

The two men in black are none other than the Assassin leaders and magicians who escaped from the Westside Bridge.

"Zachary is dead. The magician asked.

The leader of the assassins nodded, "The dead are clean, and they fell down the Grand Canyon, so there is no evidence left." How noble and great it is to dedicate oneself to the organization and the cause. ”

"Hmph!" the magician snorted coldly, "Don't say anything about anyone, the people of our organization, everyone has their own purpose, you have your ideas, I have my considerations, even the Patriarch, his purpose is simple? Hmph, the glory of the Magic Empire, hum! Tell me, what is the situation on Captain Anna's side!"

The leader of the assassins grimaced, "I don't know the specifics, but something isn't right. ”

"Oh, how do you say?"

"According to the arrangement of the Patriarch, after Anna left the Shang Alliance, she went straight to the Misty Forest, and I answered at the periphery of the forest. I waited until the fifteenth day. During this time, the entire Misty Forest is quiet, except for the occasional lone patrol elf passing by, nothing special. Until that morning, I felt a sudden coercion in the misty forest, and a higher creature seemed to descend on the forest, you are a magician, do you know that feeling?"

The magician nodded, "I probably understand. ”

I couldn't rest assured, so I went straight into the Misty Forest. In the Misty Forest, there are usually elven patrols, but on that day, the entire Misty Forest was quiet as if there were no creatures. I hurried to Nosirio to find that the main elven city had completely disappeared, and the city under the huge magic light was gone!"

"What! You said Nosirio is gone, how could it be! That's a city!" exclaimed the magician, "You and I both know that the Misty Forest is the kingdom of the Elves, how could they leave, where could they go?"

"I don't know, but I really didn't find any trace of Nosirio in the Misty Forest, it seems that the elven kingdom never existed!"

The magician pondered for a moment, "No, space magic can move people and objects, but every movement consumes mental power. A whole Nosilio, even if it's the Great Elf King, he can't do it. Captain Antonio (Note 1), you've been deceived!"

The Assassin leader shook his head in disbelief, "Impossible, Captain Ian! ”

The magician smiled, "The Great Elf King, according to legend, he is a powerful spiritual magician, he is good at creating illusions, I don't believe he can remove the entire Nosirio, but I believe he can still do it by creating an illusion and temporarily covering the entire elven kingdom." ”

Antonio, the leader of the Assassins, stared at his feet depressedly, "You mean that's just a trick?"

"It should be. ”

"Anyway, I haven't seen Anna since. ”

The magician thought for a moment, "If Anna fails, the Patriarch should have a backup plan." ”

Antonio bowed his head in approval, "Yes, after I have reported, the Patriarch instructed me on Anna's affairs, and he has made other arrangements, so that I can come to the Desik border to meet you and Zachary. ”

"I see!" the magician who called Ian was silent for a long time, "starting with Manning. Of the five captains of ours, there are only two of us left, and I don't want to follow in their footsteps. Since the Patriarch didn't instruct, I decided to hide first, the dog of the Adventurer's Guild has a pretty good nose. ”

Antonio let out an "um", a little absent-minded.

In Tarim City, Green angrily stared at the Alvin battalion general who was sitting in front of the table for a long time: "Lord Alvin, you have lost twenty of your men, and the Western Bridge has also collapsed, such a big loss, don't you have to explain it to your military!"

Camp Alvin didn't bother to raise his eyes, "The loss will naturally be reported, but Lord Green, gather all the guards and officers and let you investigate, this is not something I can do." Don't say that you don't have evidence, but if you have evidence, this kind of thing is not something that a small battalion general can decide. ”

Green slapped the table, "Lord Alvin, these two assassins have been living in your tent, don't you have to be responsible!"

Alvin shook his head, "I don't know how they got in, you think, they all have the ability to sneak into your meeting place in Manning, my men are all ordinary soldiers, what can we do?"

"Then don't you care, they're obvious..."Before Green finished speaking, Setty grabbed him, and a pair of foreign eyes blinked, and Green stopped.

"Alright, Lord Alvin, I'm sure you've done your best, please help us collect the remains of our hunters, and we'll go back to Manning. ”

Hearing Setie say this, Alvin reacted, "Of course, Mage Setie doesn't have to worry, he will help you deal with it, as for the investigation of the case, I can't do anything." Setie smiled slightly, "Then it won't bother Lord Alvin." ”

Alvin smiled, "Good to say, good to say." ”

Leaving Alvin's tent, Green angrily kicked the stone at his feet, "Why are you holding me back? ”

Setie explained in a low voice, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but we have no evidence. You know, this is Desik, not Manning!"

Green was still angry, "Then what should I do, let him go?"

Setie sighed, "I've already sent a message to Archmage Merlin, hoping he can provide helpful advice. ”
