Chapter 499: Something Isn't Right with the Iron Duke (1/4)

Fankonos had dressed up in disguise, and he was dressed very carefully, and if he had changed to someone else, he would never have been able to recognize him, and Link estimated that he was really a big deal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Link's heart was extremely determined, and he flicked Fanknos casually, and a speck of light flew over.

'Invisible Traceless'

The figure of Van Knos suddenly disappeared in place.

Link gestured for the other to follow the tower, and then he walked into the tower himself, and he could feel Vankonos following him lightly.

The number of apprentices in the magic tower on the first floor increased a little, about 80 people, Link had just walked to the door, and one of the apprentices spotted him, and after a few seconds, all the apprentices immediately stood up and saluted him with bated breath.

Before, Link was a little unaccustomed to this battle, but now he didn't care, waved his hand to say hello to the young people, and then continued to walk towards the upper echelons of the magic tower.

All the way to a secluded attic at the top of the spire of the magic tower, Link snapped his fingers and removed the invisibility spell from Vincnoth.

There were some miscellaneous items in the attic, all of which were commonly used, Link was half-leaning against a pile of fur wraps, and when Vincnos entered the attic, he moved his mind again, and released a soundproof magic door to the attic door.

"Okay, that's it."

Van Knos first handed a memory crystal to Link, "Lord Lord, take a look at the contents first. ”

Link took it and activated, a slightly blurry image was projected in the air, and it could be seen that the user of the engram was carefully hiding in the crowd, so the image angle was very low.

In the video, the backs of many soldiers first appeared, and at the same time, a voice sounded: "This magician, he studied the magic of darkness in private, after being discovered, he refused to publish the content of the magic, and also attacked the searcher, causing serious injuries to two warriors, this must be a servant of darkness, should be killed!" ”

When the sound fell, he heard a 'poof' sound of flesh cutting, although he didn't see the specific image, Link was familiar with the sound and knew that someone had been beheaded.

"This voice is Duke Abel?"

"It's him."

In the video, after the magician was killed, the soldiers who had gathered around the crowd dispersed, and the magician hiding in the crowd glanced at the execution ground at the last moment, and then put away the engram.

It was at this moment that Link froze the image.

In the execution ground, there were four headless corpses, which showed that the magician had already been killed three people before, and Duke Abel and several officers sat on a high chair, all with awe-inspiring expressions.

Seeing this, Link put away the engram and asked Fankonos, "It's not a big deal to kill some people who violate military orders in the army, right?" ”

The voice in the video has already explained the reason, stealing black magic, and attacking officers, Oreda Fortress has just encountered the dark army, and is highly vigilant against any dark magic, this magician is tantamount to seeking death by doing so.

Van Knos nodded: "Judging from the image alone, it is indeed normal, but I think the Duke seems to be a little abnormal, he is suddenly much stronger than before." ”

"What's the way to be strong?" Link believed that Vanknox would not come to him with a vague feeling, and that he must have proof.

Vincnos looked out the window, having experienced the decisive battle in the north, his handsome face was much more vicissitudes than before, there were a few more strands of gray hair between his sideburns, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Soon after you left, the Duke carried out a purification operation, and he formed an army of Overseers to thoroughly investigate everything about every warrior, including everything in his past. For magicians, the Overseers require them to publish their magical notes. At first, this was not excessive, but after a month of the operation, it was already beyond control. ”

With that, Vankonos turned to Link, "I saw an officer being pushed to the gallows for hiding a demon's fang. I've also seen a warrior who carved a succubus statue out of wood for fun and was beheaded, the magician who was killed just now, the so-called black magic he studied was the level 4 soul eye, this is just detection magic, he attacked the warrior because the two warriors tore up his magic notes in public and insulted him。。。。。。 The Duke seems to have gone to extremes, and he is already a little crazy. ”

Link frowned a little when he heard this, this was indeed excessive, and he asked, "Has anyone persuaded him?" ”

"Anthony, the dean of the East Valley School of Magic, came, and he persuaded him a few words, but in the end the two broke up unhappily, and afterwards, the Duke restrained for a few days, but soon he started again."

"Does King Ryan know about this?" Link asked.

"You know, the king wrote a few letters in the past, but you know, the hot spring city was ruined, and the king's authority was a little 。。。。。 It wasn't a good idea, and the Duke didn't pay any attention to him at all. Fankonoth said.

Link finally asked, "Aside from these things, how is Duke Abel doing in the defense of the fortress?" ”

"It's a lot stronger than before, and it's a lot more fruitful. In the Black Forest, more than 30 demons are hunted every day, and there are even more dark elves, at first more than 100 per day, and now there are no dark elves to be found within 200 miles north of Orida Fortress. There was even a time when Canoshew killed a level 8 great demon, and he was rewarded by the duke's grand prize, and now, Canosheu is already the commander of the First Legion. ”

It is also true that Vankonos is truthfully reporting.

"That's right." Link fell silent.

Ordinary people may only see that Duke Abel is very cruel and excessive, such as Van Knos finds it unacceptable, but this is not the case in the eyes of a superior like Link, the Duke did go too far, but he faithfully fulfilled his duty.

Duke Abel's main mission is to defend against the demons and dark elves of the Northern Black Forest, and now that he is not bad, he must not be overly harsh on him for such a purification operation.

What's more, Link is only Field's lord, and it's not his turn to do so.

As for writing a letter to persuade or asking for it in person, it is even more meaningless, King Ryan and the archmage Anthony have already done this, and if he does it again, I am afraid it will only make the other party bored, but it will have the opposite effect.

However, this matter cannot be completely ignored, the current Duke Abel may have been stimulated by the Great War, and his temperament has changed somewhat, and from the current situation, he is very likely to go to extremes, which is not a good thing.

After thinking about it, Link felt that the wisest thing for him to do now was to wait and see.

He first took out a piece of Thur silver, a small piece of black kun stone, and then used the enchantment, about 10 minutes later, he turned the two materials into a piece of rune stone, and after filling it with dragon power, he handed the rune stone to Fanknos: "I am not very good at interfering in this matter, you take this rune stone back to the north, continue to observe, if there is any change, come back and inform me quickly." If in danger, activate the Runestone, which you can use to complete a short teleportation of 2 km. ”

Fanknos carefully put away the rune stone, he seemed to want to say something, but he was not too embarrassed, and he wanted to stop talking.

"Say whatever you want."

Fankonos sighed: "Actually, I didn't want to go back when I came out this time, now that the artifact is gone, and the dark elves have been defeated, I don't really want to stay in the army, it's too depressing there." I just wanted to tell you the news, and then I continued to venture around the continent. ”

Link was speechless when he listened: "So you're a deserter?" ”

Okay, this guy didn't say it a long time ago, and he lied to him with a rune stone before saying it, it's really cunning!

Van Knouston was a little wary: "。。。。。。 You're not going to take me back to the fortress, are you? ”

If you really want to escort him back, the treatment of deserters is beheading.

Link shook his head: "Not really, since you don't want to go back, then I will send another person to the north to monitor 。。。。。。 You say you're going to go on an adventure? ”

"yes, that's what I'm after!" As soon as he said that, Fanknos's whole person seemed to 'come to life'.

Link's heart moved, and he continued to ask, "Oh, I remember that the first time you came to me, you were looking for me to go to the tomb of the dwarven king, how are your companions doing now?" ”

"The situation is not good, Miss Pastor is still alive, everyone else is dead. In fact, she had already gone south with me. Why, you don't want to go with us, do you? ”

Link is now a legendary master, how could such a big man go to the tomb robbery with him, Fanknos has long forgotten his previous thoughts.

Link shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, no, of course I won't go, the affairs of the Field Territory are enough for me to be busy." But if you go, I'd like to entrust you with finding something for me. I won't look for it in vain, I have a big reward. ”

Fankonos's eyes suddenly lit up: "I don't want money, I just want magic equipment!" As long as you give me magic equipment, you let me steal the Red Dragon Queen's underwear! ”

“。。。。。。” Link listened with black lines on his face, what did he want the queen's underwear for, he really wanted it, the Red Dragon Queen's whole person was his, as soon as this guy left the army, the whole person was unreliable.

Link took out a yogu and handed it over: "I want such stones, give me as many as you find, and also, in the process of searching, you may meet some dragon clan members who are also looking for these stones, you don't have a conflict with them, take this thing to them, and they will give you this yogu." ”

Link took out a silver-black dragon scale and gave it to Van Knoth, which was his identity in the dragon clan.

"I see." Fankonos played with the dragon scales, curious about the material of this thing.

"As for the reward, if you can scrape together 100 yogurs for me, I'll give you a Legendary quality 。。。。。。"

Before Link could finish speaking, Van Knos nodded, "A legendary dagger, right?" Okay, I did it, uh~ Is there a reward for my pastor friend? ”

"Yes. When the time comes, you bring her over, and she'll get a piece of magical equipment. ”

"That's no problem. I've got it, and when the time comes, I'll definitely bring you 101. ”

"No, the more the merrier, 100 pieces of equipment for one piece of equipment, it always works."

Fankonos exhaled, "Oh, you're such a big demon who controls people's hearts, and I'm going to fight again this time." ”

By now, the matter of Van Knos was decided, this guy was currently penniless, and he didn't want to steal money, so he asked Link for a bag of gold coins with a shy face, and then left satisfied.

Link went back to his hall and was about to rest for a while, when Lucy came looking for him.

"Lord, the anti-demon clay mine is about to be dug up, and the city hall is running out of money."

Lucy spread a ledger to Link, and Link saw that the red patch on it was all deficit, and it was completely out of the loop. (To be continued.) )
