"Appeal?" Gordon smiled lightly, "Do you think I would come to you if I didn't have solid evidence?" ”
Darren said inwardly: "Since you are completely sure, then it is better to go directly to the lord, why bother here?" I think you're just bluffing. ”
Gordon shook his head, took out the slate from the dimensional pouch, and shook it in front of Darren: "I came to you just to ask about something. You should be familiar with this slate. ”
Darren's eyes lit up, revealing a greedy look. Gordon has a bottom in his heart, and it seems that the other party really knows that the stone tablet is related to the inheritance of the Sun Elf Mage. I just don't know where he got the slate.
However, Darren's words did not match his expression.
"I don't know what this slate is, you roll it for me!" He flatly denied it.
After thinking about it, Darren said again: "I sue you, Gordon." You offended me, do you really think it's going to end well? Even if you do have evidence of my guilt and accuse me of the lord and punish me, so what? I'm a mage, and I'm the son of Baron Cold Lake. As long as I plead my case, the lord will at most expel me from the mage group. If he goes too far, it will cause turmoil among the entire nobility of the Far Frost Province, and in the winter, see who will be willing to send troops for him to resist the orc raids. ”
Seeing that Gordon didn't speak, Darren showed a smug smile: "What if you're a baron?" Do you have a fief? Do you have a concursor? Do you have an army? An empty shell aristocrat, but a little better than those merchants. ”
"Ugh." Gordon shook his head and said slowly, "You're right. If you plead your guilt in front of the Grand Duke, and then raise the identity of Baron Cold Lake, plus the other nobles say peace, the Grand Duke will indeed not take your life, and at most expel you from the mage group. You're just going to have your reputation damaged. But for a mage who regards arcane power above a qiē, reputation is nothing. ”
"But." Gordon quietly raised his left hand and pinched the dark green spinel necklace around his neck, "You should know that dead people don't defend themselves. And I can't take care of the defense of Far Frost Province. ”
With a slight rub of his thumb on the necklace, the command popped out from the tip of his tongue, and a blade golem with a solemn aura appeared in the room.
"Attack!" Gordon gave the order.
Gordon had already made up his mind to kill Darren and cut down the grass to the roots. He took out the slate just now, just to seduce the other party and see if he could come up with some words, so that he would not have to look for clues in the future.
However, the other party didn't seem to be in the oil and salt, so he went straight to the point.
"You, you dare to commit murder at the mage regiment station?" Darren was shocked, and his thin body hurriedly rolled to the ground, narrowly avoiding the blade golem's slash.
In an indoor room with a ceiling height of only two and a half meters, the three-meter-tall Blade Golem is indeed inconvenient to move, and it needs to bend its waist, which greatly weakens its combat effectiveness.
But Gordon just asked the Blade Golem to buy him a little time. His spell was ready to be completed by this time. The orb that gathered the energy of the raging flames was thrown out by Gordon with his raised hand.
Gordon then immediately put on his hood so that his entire body was wrapped in a salamander cloak, and then stood behind the Blade Golem.
The fireball spell exploded in the room, and the violent flame energy was instantly cast. The heat and air currents raged in the room, destroying everything in a mess.
Crash......
Sensing that the furniture and living items in the room were ignited by flames, the fountain circle set up on the wall was immediately touched.
The room quickly turned into a scorching country, just scorched by the heat, and now it was poured with cold water, and the metal shell of the Blade Golem made a "snort" sound. White smoke rises, plunging the room into a fog.
Gordon glanced at the charred corpse on the ground. Darren, who was thin and weak, obviously couldn't withstand Gordon, who had mastered the "Junior Plastic Energy School Specialization", and shot a fireball technique, which killed him directly on the spot.
He fumbled around with Darren and found the other's dimensional bag. Then take out the slate inside. Rummaging through it again, Gordon found a notepad with a cowhide cover.
With these two things in his pocket, Gordon didn't touch anything else. He pulled out a few shards of slate from his dimensional pouch.
These shards of stone slabs were made by him last night with the change school spell "Clay Sculpture Technique", and from the appearance, they were no different from the authentic Sun Elf slates, and there were even subtle magical aura remnants on them. Gordon believed that with his experience as a 2O-level mage, he had made this fake, and even Rob Antello couldn't see it.
The reason why he used a range spell like the Fireball Technique to kill Darren just now was to destroy the scene. When Rob Antello asked, he could say that the tablet had been damaged in the battle, and then swallowed it privately.
The visual backtracking spell in the crystal ball cannot be changed, so the storage of the Sun Elf Slate cannot be hidden from the Lord of Wands. If Gordon went to the Lord of Scepter to ask for the slate afterwards, perhaps the other party would reward him generously for Gordon's merits.
But it is impossible to say that Lord Scepter does not murmur in his heart.
Judging from the fact that this lord uses all the servants of the water yuan at home, it is known that he is a person who attaches great importance to family safety and **. After all, there are so many beautiful wives, if you don't take too much precautions, in case of ** fire, it will be troublesome.
Darren's Sun Spirit Stone Tablet can be used to control the water element, which is an unstable factor. And Gordon asked the lord for it when he knew the usefulness of the slate, what would this make the other party think?
Gordon is unlikely to tell Lord Scepter the truth. After all, this is the key to his ability to obtain new character templates and professions and improve his strength, and the more secretive the better.
Scattering the fragments of the fake slate next to Darren's corpse, Gordon put the Blade Golem in his necklace and stood in the ruined room, quietly waiting.
There was such a big commotion, and someone would come soon. He is investigating on behalf of the Lord of Wands, because the suspect is "stubborn and stubborn", he has to shoot him to death, if he sneaks away now, it will arouse suspicion, it is better to wait in the open.
Just as Gordon had predicted, the door was soon opened by tapping, and a large group of mage members poured in. They all looked vigilant, holding standard staffs, staring at Gordon, the unpleasant guest.
A tall, young mage in his twenties, with a simple head, stood up and asked sharply, "Who are you?" Why in Darren's room? ”
He glanced at the charred corpse on the ground, and his tone became colder: "You killed Darren?" ”
Gordon raised his right hand and reached into his arms. This action made the group of mages on the opposite side even more nervous. They were afraid that Gordon would suddenly pull out some powerful magic items and attack.
"Don't be nervous." Gordon's face was calm, he slowed his movements, and pulled out the Scepter Lord's personal badge, "I am Lord Rob Antelo's magical assistant, and I have been ordered to investigate a matter. Master Darren was guilty of resisting and was killed by me. ”
"So you're the new magic assistant, Gordon Freeman?" The young mage glanced at Gordon's badge and confirmed his identity, then lowered his staff. Several mages behind him were also relieved of the fighting state.
It seems that his prestige in the mage group should be not small, and so many people follow him.
"I'm Ruth Dumick." The young man said stiffly. Although the atmosphere was less tense, his face was still cold and his attitude was not very friendly.
This is natural, someone makes a big fuss in their own territory and kills someone, even if there is a legitimate reason, it is impossible to swallow their anger and let the other party leave in style.
Gordon thought about it, and now the other party's name was somewhat familiar. The Scepter Lord's Seat Mage Yolander seems to have the surname Dumick.
Could it be that he is Yoland's nephew?
It seems that his eight characters are really at odds with the mage group, otherwise how could he bump into a person who was squeezed out of the position of magic assistant by himself?
"Master Ruth, please get out of the way with your companions, I'm short on time, and I need to report the outcome of the incident to the Grand Duke immediately. By the way, please don't destroy the scene, the Grand Duke should send someone to clean up the aftermath. ”
"Why, you made such a big fuss and wanted to leave?" Ruth held his staff across his chest.
"You want to teach me a lesson, or do you want to teach me a lesson together?" Gordon didn't give in, his left hand turned into a claw, and a white ball of light instantly formed in the palm of his hand.
"Spell instant, three-ring spell 'Remove Magic'!" Seeing Gordon show his hand, someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.
In their minds, in order to use the "Spell Instant" specialty, they need to occupy a spell slot higher than the three rings. In other words, Gordon used the Spell Instant Technique to cast a three-ring protection school spell "Dismantle", indicating that his spell attainment had reached the sixth ring!
High-level mages who can use the Six Rings spell, none of them are confident that they can defeat. Maybe they have a slight chance of winning by rushing up, but the honor of being a member of the Scepter Lord's mage corps doesn't allow them to do so.
However, these mages don't know that the "six-ring" mages in their eyes are actually only able to do things that ordinary three-ring mages can't do because the spell system is completely different.
Ruth is now in a dilemma. He considered himself to have an extraordinary talent in the field of magic, and with his uncle who was a mage of the Arcane Federation to guide him, he had an innate advantage over the others.
The position of the magical assistant to the Scepter Lord, which was originally his own, was taken by a guy named Gordon Freeman, much to Ruth's dissatisfaction. But now that he has really met Gordon, he realizes that the gap between the two sides is huge.
Although he is a four-ring mage, it is very rare to reach this level at the age of twenty, but the other party's achievements make him desperate.
is also in his twenties, and Gordon is actually a six-ring mage? What a concept!
