238 The other party

The fighting in the Kursk province has been going on and on, and there has been no progress at all for either side. This time, San Jose's attack came to an end, and a group of magicians showed the power of magic in front of ordinary soldiers, but the actual damage caused was not much, and it was disturbed by Merlin of San Jose. In fact, when a magician reaches the level of Merlin, he generally does not easily join the magic battle, so it is an eye-opener for ordinary soldiers, and a little inexplicable for dark magicians.

In the Desik camp, Lan Lan and Blake stared at a letter on the platform face to face, no one spoke, and the rest of the dark mage assistants, no one dared to come in outside, and the atmosphere inside the camp was a little strange. It was a short parchment letter, with a few paragraphs written in standard magical court script:

"There is a change in Kyoto City, and the Patriarch urgently summons all the protectors~, deacons, and members of the Black Dragon Society to return to the castle as soon as possible, Elby. ”

"Elby has been the Patriarch's right-hand man all these years, and this time in such a hurry, it seems that something important is happening in Kyoto City, what do you think, Master Lanlan?" Blake read every word on the letterhead.

"Isn't it strange that Elby never sent us a message this way, why?" Lan Lan reached out and took the parchment, and also carefully examined every word, still finding nothing.

"I think there are only two possibilities. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Lan Lan said curiously.

Blake held out a finger, "First, the situation is urgent, and Elby doesn't have time to find a place where no one is to cast a teleportation magic. Continuing to hold out a second finger, "make it possible that this letter is fake." ”

Listening to Blake's words, Lan Lan fell into deep thought: Although over the years, the organization's actions have gradually been exposed to the investigation of the governments ~ governments of various countries on the mainland, but for people of their level, it is still safe for the time being. Elby and the Patriarch have been active in San Jose, and none of them have been exposed, so Lan Lan and Blake, who are the protectors of the law, have no possibility of being exposed.

As for the first reason, it is even more unlikely, Elby's letter was sent through the organization's channel, if something really happened in Kyoto City that Elby didn't have time to use the messenger magic, then he still had time to write such a letter neatly, and then send it to Desik through the organization's secret channel, is it possible?

The two of them couldn't figure out why, but Elby was the chief magician, equivalent to the second-in-command of the organization, and in the absence of the Patriarch of the organization, everyone had to follow Elby's orders.

At this moment, Blake's assistant greeted outside the camp tent, "Lord Protector~, the herald of General Desik Hans has come over and said that there is something important for you to discuss. The two looked at each other, and there was a sigh in their hearts, could something really happen.

Desik commanded the camp tent.

Although he was the commander-in-chief of the Desik San Jose Front, General Hans was not always on the front line. His main job was to coordinate the military forces of the entire De Sick in various countries, and to ensure that the De Sick suppressed the war situation of the Business League and San Jose. Except for the initial Battle of Kursk, which he personally commanded, he spent most of his time going back and forth between the front line and White Rock City. In fact, at the time of the Great War of the Mages, General Hans had not yet returned to the camp.

So when they heard General Hans invite him, both Blake and Lanlan thought that something had happened.

"A few days ago, I, Earl Norton, the former prime minister of Desic, defected to the city of Kyoto, the capital of San Jose, and got in touch with the Imperial Council of San Jose. Based on information from our intelligence agents lurking in Kyoto, it seems that Count Norton is going to provide important information to San Jose. Thankfully, when he traveled to Red Keep, the seat of San Jose's Imperial Council, the magicians of your organization came to his aid and caused Count Norton to disappear from this world. "In General Hans's barracks, he was delivering the news he had just received to the two magicians who had risen from darkness.

"Do you know who in our organization is making the move?" Blake asked.

General Hans smiled, "How could I know about your dark rise. But this is not the only thing I have to tell you. ”

"Oh, what else is there?" both Lan Lan and Blake were curious.

"The Patriarch of your organization has also sent a message to His Majesty the Emperor. The focus of your organization's activities today will shift to San Jose, and it is said that your organization's cooperation with our country will come to an end because it is under unprecedented pressure from court magicians in San Jose. I think you've received a message from your organization to yourself. ”

Hearing General Hans say this, Lan Lan and Blake couldn't help but glance at each other, and at the same time thought of the order that Elby had just received. Is it because of this reason that Elby would give orders to himself in such a formal way, which is also too strange.

"I take the liberty of asking, General Hans", Lan Lan turned his head, "Does the organization have any arrangements for us to tell you?"

"Hahaha," laughed General Hans, "I didn't say it, but I know what it means." Actually, it doesn't matter, dark magic may be of great help in the war, but in the end, it is up to our Desiks themselves to win this battlefield, and it is our scimitars and Steppenwolf that really want to win this battlefield. Therefore, I invite you here today to solemnly thank you for your help to our Desik in the past few years of war. The Patriarch is busy with all his affairs, and you can only convey it on your behalf. ”

Lan Lan and Blake nodded secretly, this General Hans is really good at doing things, obviously he must be dissatisfied with the withdrawal of all the Dark Rising, which is ostensibly a farewell to an old friend. These aristocrats, one by one, said more than a ghost. On the other hand, the two of them stood up together and gave General Hans a court magic salute of the Magic Empire.

Not long ago, on the battlefield, they and the court magicians of San Jose performed this ritual that had disappeared a thousand years ago in full view of tens of thousands of people, and General Hans did not see it, so he took the opportunity to make up for it. General Hans was actually a well-educated man, and he bowed slightly, "This is the etiquette of you magicians." After the fall of the Magic Empire, it became less and less seen. Hey, the glory of the Magic Empire, that's what your organization is for. ”

The Desik were quite polite, helping Lanlan and Blake to provide several wagons for transporting their baggage, and loading and unloading their supplies, mainly the two alien beasts of Alcmene and Amut. First, they were sealed in a steel cage, packed in a wooden box on the outside, and covered with a thick felt cloth. In the iron cage, Alcmene and Amut's mouths were covered with large black iron masks, which tied their teeth so that they could not make sounds.

This time, they are going to land in the south of San Jose through the Morro River and go to Kyoto City, and now all of San Jose is strictly investigating the dark magicians, and it is a critical moment for the organization of the great cause, so it is better to be careful. Alcmene and Amut have a big role to play.

"It's all arranged, right?" asked Blake in the carriage.

"Well, we borrowed Desik's boat and sailed down the Morro River along the coastline to the province of Orebol. There, there is a small gap in the cliff of the Long Sea, where we can land with Alcmene and Amut. However, even if you have to be careful of the patrols of the San Jose Navy on the road, there is a small town near that small gap, and you should be careful not to be seen. ”

Lan Lan thought for a while, "That's fine, if it doesn't work, use the dark veil." I still have a few magic crystals here, which should support us back to the castle. It will take about six days to get from the cliff of the sea to the castle, so we have to hurry. ”

"Hehe, Master Lanlan, can you use the Dark Veil and a little wind magic by the way. ”

"Orebol Province", Lan Lan suddenly thought of something, "Master Black, aren't you from Orebol Province?" I remember that Elby once said that the family of the Eastern Protector ~ Lord Fa is the great nobleman of Thunderlight City, the capital of Orebol Province. Isn't it?"

Blake smiled bitterly, "You have such a good memory, I have sometimes forgotten that I am a native nobleman of the province of Orebol. Yes, I was born in Thunder Light City, but the last time I passed by, I had already sold my ancestral house, and I don't plan to return to Thunder Light City in the future. ”

"Oh, why is that?" Lan Lan wondered.

"Southern Protector, don't forget", Blake suddenly straightened, "We are not the indigenous nobles of San Jose, our identity has always been the nobility of the Magic Empire. My hometown is not Thunder City, but the capital of the Magic Empire. Master Lanlan, don't forget our goal!"

Lan Lan bowed, "Darkness rises, magic is endless!"

"It's good that you haven't forgotten. However, Master Lanlan, I never knew what your origin was, and many people in the organization were quite curious about the Southern Protector~. Seeing Lan Lan like this, Blake returned to normal.

"I, I'm different from you, I wasn't born into a noble family, I'm an orphan in the south of San Jose. My family has lived in a small fishing village south of San Jose for generations. One year, Omaki was going to Changhai to study the magical element, and he happened to pass by our fishing village, where he felt the magical element that I had awakened. So in fact, I am a personal disciple of the Patriarch. ”

"I see!" Blake nodded, as he rarely spent time in the castle at headquarters, and Blake knew very little about the Order. It turns out that the Southern Protector ~ Dharma is a disciple of the Patriarch, no wonder so.

"Two protectors~Fa, we will go to the dock of the Morro River in front, and we will change to the warship provided by Desik and sail all the way to the mouth of the Morro River. The boat of the organization is not far south of the estuary. Which two protectors ~ go to get ready. ”

"Okay, let's come here, you take care of Alcmene and Amut. By the way, where is the whale?" Blake asked again.

"It should stop at the mouth of the Morro River and wait for the Protector ~ Lord Fa to go. ”
