Chapter 259: Fallen? (2/4)
The greatest motivation for wisdom to understand the world is curiosity in the heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There's no such thing as good or bad curiosity, but magic does.
If there is no restraint, then a magician will go further and further on the path of magic, and eventually, he will become a puppet of magic.
It's all well and good to be a magic golem, but more often than not, a mage will be lured by dark magic and completely degenerate and become a slave to the darkness.
There are countless examples of this in history, and the Blood Demon Talen, Morestern, Ancoru, and even the recent Vivel are all promising magical geniuses, but they eventually go to the point of no return.
Even in the history of high elves, there is no shortage of similar precedents.
So, when Milda saw this magic letter with dark runes drawn on it, her gaze changed a little when she looked at Link.
The Vivier in the south fell to the front, could it be that the magical geniuses of the Norton Kingdom in the north also had an affair with black magic?
Milda had only met Link today, and she didn't know much about him, and now that something like this had happened, she instinctively was suspicious, and felt that something was wrong.
Her pretty face was already covered with frost: "Link, I think you need to explain. ”
Link also frowned, he didn't understand who would send him such a letter, but he had a clear conscience, so he said, "Let's go, go into the room, go to the hall on the second floor." I opened the letter on the spot to see what was written inside. ”
The three elves looked at each other a few times, but their faces showed a look of wariness, and before they knew it, wands appeared in their hands. Milda shook her head and said, "You don't have to go upstairs, just tear it down here." ”
This appearance is obviously ready to do it as soon as he finds something wrong.
They can't be blamed for overreacting, although the incident of Southern Vivier has just happened, it has already spread all over the continent.
Vivier also did it without saying a word, and the result was a tragedy, Link was ten times more terrible than Vivier, if there was a real problem, he would be caught off guard, and the three of them might repeat the mistakes of the South if they were caught off guard.
For Link, if he was the only one here, then he didn't care, he would have demolished it, but many people around him were watching, Joshua, the passing soldiers, the residents of Scorched Earth Ridge, etc., all looked over at this time.
A few of their richly dressed magicians confronted each other here, which attracted special attention, and after a while, some rumors would spread.
This happened in Link's territory, and it was very bad for Link.
For Milda's actions, Link felt a slight annoyance in his heart, but seeing the resolute look on Milda and the others, it was useless to know that he was angry, the other party was a high elf princess, and there were two level 7 magicians, what battle had never been seen, what they had already decided, it was estimated that it would be difficult to change.
Forced confrontation will only make things bigger and bigger.
I don't know who plotted against me so much to send me this! ’
Suppressing his anger, Link took a step back and nodded, "As you wish." ”
And he prepared to open it.
At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Master Link, you are finally back, we are waiting for you." ”
Link turned his head to see Glensey and Modeland walking side by side.
When he got closer, Glency glanced at the letter in Link's hand, then at the three high elves with guarded faces, and said with a light smile: "It's just a magic letter, what's the big deal, what are you doing at this door, let's go and go into the house." ”
As he spoke, Glensey reached out and took the letter from Link's hand, and entered the room.
Moderan followed, patted Link on the shoulder, turned to the three high elves and said, "Don't worry, young man, it's just a small thing. Let's get inside. ”
Two magic masters broke the siege, and Milda and the two high elves beside him glanced at each other, and finally followed into the wooden building.
The group went to the conference hall on the second floor and found a place to sit down.
After sitting down, Glensey said, "This letter arrived two days ago, and when we first arrived, we felt that something was wrong, but the letter was signed for Master Link, so we didn't move, just waited for Link to come back. ”
After saying that, he looked at Link, although his expression was calm, he could tell that he was also waiting for Link's explanation.
Link looked confused: "I wonder who will send this thing to me." ”
As he spoke, he pushed the letter to the center of the table and said, "Your Highness Milda is obviously suspicious of me, and for the sake of justice, I will not open this letter. ”
"Yes." Milda nodded solemnly, and unleashed the mage's hand to unravel the letter from afar.
After the envelope was unsealed, the dark aura suddenly became much thicker, and you could clearly see a puff of black smoke pouring out of the envelope, which condensed in the sky above the envelope, forming a human face, and a pleasant voice came out.
"Oh, Link, my friend, I'm glad you're interested in my field. Last time I said goodbye, I miss you all the time. I am honored to receive your letter again this time, and I am glad to answer your doubts in the soul realm......"
Then the voice began to speak.
He took the trouble to explain the magic technique of extracting the soul of an ordinary person from the body, and continued to talk for fifteen minutes, and finally said in his voice: "This method is very useful, but it is only a basic method, if you are interested, please continue to write to me, I will be happy to answer your questions." ”
After speaking, the black fog dissipated, and then looked at the magic letter, which had returned to its original state, and saw that there was still a gray-white letter in the envelope, Milda pulled out the letter paper and unfolded it, which was exactly what the black fog had just said.
She looked at the end of the letter again, and saw that there was a disgusting name written on it: Vivier. Worthridge.
Milda was taken aback: "Link, you have a relationship with Vivier?" ”
Link shook his head in denial: "Not really. ”
Romoson interjected, "Master Link, the letter says you've been to the South once........ And as far as we know, you did go some time ago and brought back a demon tiger. ”
As the most valued Terran magicians of the high elves, they have made a fairly comprehensive understanding of Link's past, Link went to the south, and he can hide from ordinary people, but it is not a secret to magicians who have the heart to investigate.
The words of the high elf were not clear, but the underlying meaning was obvious, the information in this letter indicated that Link and Vivier knew each other, and he even made a special trip to the south to meet him, and the two had a good relationship.
But now that Vivier has become a dark magician, and he still writes to Link and discusses dark magic with him, this matter is a bit mysterious.
In particular, Link made a trip to the South, shortly before the fall of Vivier.
Link's face remained unchanged, and he explained calmly: "I went to the south to find Celine, and I have nothing to do with Vivier, as for the Demon Tiger, I met him by the way, he was being chased and killed by the dark mage Ancoru, and I saved him. ”
"Who is Celine?" Milda asked.
"My ...... Pal. Link said, "If I need to, I can have someone call her right now, she's in Scorched Earth Ridge." ”
"That's not necessary, I know Celine, she's a good girl." It was Fonterland who spoke.
He looked around at everyone and said, "I think, this is a very obvious frame-up, I know Master Link very well, if he really got involved in the dark arts, he wouldn't have been exposed for such a clumsy reason, in fact, none of us would be, it's stupid!" ”
This is the truth, sending letters, and especially drawing dark runes on envelopes, too obvious to blame the trick.
However, Milda shook her head: "No, I don't think it's that simple. This is Link's territory, and those ordinary people don't know about dark runes at all, so drawing dark runes isn't a big deal....... It doesn't make sense to say this letter alone, but Mr. Link did go south once, and this time, apart from bringing back Celine and the Demon Tiger, no one knows what else happened in it. ”
Speaking of which, Milda looked at Link again and continued, "Actually, I noticed something when I was in the East Valley, I read your military report at the Icebreak Fortress, and in the report, you mentioned the Aspect Scroll, which you borrowed to escape the pursuit of the artifact holder many times. As far as I know, phase scrolls belong to mystical magic, Master Link, are you studying mystical magic? ”
Link was speechless, this Princess Milda had an unusually sharp eye, and she easily discovered the details that Link wanted to hide.
Seeing that Link didn't speak, Milda continued: "I also found a detail problem, you said that Canosheu was infected by the venom of the Dark Serpent and was almost demonized, but in the end, you rescued him, how did you do that?" You're just a mortal, how can you heal the damage of the artifact? It doesn't make sense. ”
Hearing this, Glency reminded him: "Your Highness, each magician has his own unique powers, and these things have nothing to do with black magic, so you don't need to get to the bottom of it!" ”
"Okay." Mirda was no longer aggressive, she took a step back, and said, "Before this letter, I agreed with Master Glency, but this letter appeared, and Mr. Link could not give a convincing explanation, then he was suspected of studying dark arts. Until we find out thoroughly, I'm afraid our clan won't be able to help such a magician. Sorry, Mr. Link, Romoson and Latour can't help you build the Magic Tower. ”
Link spread his hands, "I'm sorry for making you suspicious. ”
He didn't mean to blame Milda, the other party had known him for a short time, it was normal to distrust, and the most important problem now was that he had to figure out who was framing him.
Could it be Vivier?
Why? Although they have dealt with each other, the other party should not know his identity.
"I can't stay here tonight, I'll leave now. Romoson, you go back to the East Valley to report the news, and you go and ask King Lane to form a special investigation team. Alar, you come with me to the port, and we'll go back to Dawn Island to report the news of the artifact. ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The two high elves stood up and nodded.
"Well, then, take your leave, guys." Milda turned and left, and the two elves followed.
In the end, there were three Terran magicians left in the room.
Modeland was a little angry: "Why can't these high elves listen to people? Such an obvious frame-up! ”
Grunsey looked at the letter on the table and shook his head, "They don't know Master Link as well as we do, so it's understandable that they're driving for self-preservation. ”
As he spoke, Glency turned his head to look at Link and said, "Master Link, there is actually one more thing we are hiding. In addition to the letter, someone sent over a box of things. This thing exudes a very evil aura, so we checked it in advance, and the inside of the box contained the Dark Soul Stone, which we didn't dare to say to the high elves. ”
Hearing this, Link frowned deeply, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Thank you two masters for trusting me, but I think things are probably not so simple, someone is arranging a conspiracy against me." ”
Glency and Fonteran glanced at each other and nodded, "We also have this idea, you have been in the limelight lately, and the dark forces are best at intrigues, and it is impossible for them not to use them on you." But the problem is that these tricks are very difficult to defend against, and no one knows where they will launch them. ”
Link frowned and pondered, and after three minutes, he spoke, "This letter and the Dark Soul Stone don't have much lethality, if it's a conspiracy, then this should be just the beginning." ”
A letter, some dark soul stones, a discerning person can know at a glance that it is a frame-up, but if something more difficult to explain happens, then the previous things will become corroborative, and it really comes to that point, I'm afraid that Link can't say it clearly.
Glensey and Fonterland looked at each other, both frowning.
"What's next?"
"I don't know...... There have been a lot of new inhabitants in the territory lately, and there must be conspirators among them...... Wait, Milda is afraid that there will be danger, well, no, all the magicians in my territory, especially the high elves, are in danger, no, they can't go like this, it's too dangerous! ”
There are more than 30 magicians in the territory, not many, and the strength is not strong, Link's territory has just been established, and the defense force is also very weak, they can't kill Link, but they can kill these magicians.
After killing all these magicians, it would be terrible to have some more troubles.
How can ordinary people distinguish these things, in their eyes, it must be Link's doing, Donggu's follow-up investigation team will definitely find a lot of relevant evidence, then Link can't explain it at all, then he is equivalent to being degraded.
Of course, this is the worst possible outcome, but Link can't afford to be on guard!
Fonteran and Glensey glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with horror, and the two got up and said, "Let's go and chase Romoson back." ”
Link nodded, "I'm in charge of Mirda and Aral." ”
The three of them walked quickly out of the wooden building, and by the time they reached the door, the sun had sunk to the horizon and the sky had darkened.
Milda and the others moved quickly, and there was no trace of them in the territory.
Link walked towards the shack where Doras was, ready to ride Doras to chase people, but when he arrived at the shack, Link didn't find the demonic tiger.
"What about Doras?" Link asked, grabbing a soldier beside him.
"Doras? He had just said that he had heard something unusual and had gone out on patrol, and he said he would be back soon. The soldier replied.
Link was taken aback: 'Turning the tiger away from the mountain?' (To be continued.) )
