Chapter 590: The Prince's Helper?
"What's the matter with Margaret!?"
She did not change back into human form, but the momentum she exuded in her urgency made Catherine almost fall backwards as if she was facing a roaring beast.
"You... Are you Moriarty!? The female werewolf was inexplicably surprised, and her eyes widened.
"In order to keep it secret, Your Excellency has changed its appearance with secret techniques, please be sure to keep it secret." Clausewitz hastened to explain, and waved his hand to order a small group of wolves to ride into the Wolf Castle and not to be left outside to swagger.
"Let's go see my father first."
Taking a deep breath, Catherine stabilized her emotions, looked at the other party deeply, and said softly.
With such a direct face, the female wolf was truly sure that the former "enemy" had grown to such a terrifying level, no wonder she could easily kill a fourteenth-level light ascetic, far beyond her current self.
"Okay, talk as you go."
Putting his mind away, Moriarty nodded and went first.
Ekaterina and Clausewitz immediately chased after them.
"Just two days ago, Margaret led a group of Rangers on a routine patrol near Wolfsburg, and has not been heard from since. After an all-out search, the bodies of the rest of the wolf riders were found only in a remote Gobi. As she walked, the werewolf woman quickly reported.
"How dare you do it in Wolfsburg's sphere of influence?" Moriarty's eyes narrowed slightly, and he strode forward, heading straight towards the Duke's Mansion in front of him: "Is there any clue on the dead wolf cavalry?" ”
"Yes!" The female werewolf also gritted her teeth: "Most of the war dead are poisoned, and it is a powerful paralyzing venom. According to the witch doctor's examination, it was confirmed that the poison was dragon fly saliva. ”
"Dragonflies? Tartaglia? Really? Moriati slowed down and turned to look at Catherine.
"It's been confirmed."
"It's the 'beast armor mercenary' of the swamp. In this way, the prince not only gathered the strong men under his command, but also found a powerful helper from Tartaglia. "At this time. Clausewitz on the side said suddenly, his face even more solemn.
In the Antargregi Continent, Tartaglia's top job is called "Beast Armor", which can transform tame swamp beasts into portable armor and gain the bonus of the beast's powerful power. However, the swamps have always been resource-poor, and there are few extremely strong people born. Now, there are beast-armored warriors who dare to kidnap Midamoa's beloved daughter in front of the Wolf Castle. And the movements are so clean and neat, there is no doubt that the beast armor is strong.
"Hehe, sure enough, everyone will find a helper." Glancing at the female werewolf with the same gloomy face, Moriarty sneered.
After making the briefing briefly, Moriarty, accompanied by Catherine, went straight to the duke's chamber.
"Welcome, Your Excellency the Grand Arcanist. I really didn't expect that after only a long time of separation, you would grow to such a point, and you would be famous all over the continent. "I was stunned at first. But after the eldest daughter's quick explanation, the Duke reacted quickly and welcomed Moriarty with the utmost courtesy.
"Your progress, Lord Duke, is just as impressive. The last time we met, you were still at the peak of the high-level level, but now that you have reached level fourteen, and your state is also full and perfect, it is only a matter of time before you enter level fifteen. ”
Looking at the smiling Duke of Midamoa in front of him, Moriarty was also surprised. Especially after feeling a kind of heavy and thick distant aura like a mountain in the other party's body. Moriarty was even more sure that the Duke must have used some kind of secret method to suppress or ponder his own strength, so that he could stay under the extreme. And once let go. Only then can there be such an unstoppable momentum, and it is a miracle to be promoted to two levels in a row.
"Count Ronnie, you have also achieved the rank of Zhenguo, congratulations."
Then, Moriarty said to the knight of the summer palace beside the duke.
With the growth of strength. Ronnie's size is getting bigger and stronger, and there is a faint layer of white electricity floating on the surface of his body, which is supposed to be the ability support obtained after further coordination with the Thunderbird.
"Hats off, Grand Arcanist."
Seeing Moriarty rushing thousands of miles to support, Ronnie was naturally overjoyed.
Previously, Catherine sent a letter to the other party asking for support despite Margaret's fierce objections. Ronnie had little hope, and even tried to persuade his father to forcibly send his sister to Rheinberg, so as to preserve the last way back for the Midamoian family. But unfortunately, Margaret also refused, and vowed to follow her father to join the "Battle of Martyr Mountain". Seeing this, Ronnie could only let it go. Unexpectedly, Moriarty would really come, such an act can no longer be described as "friendship", but the real "life and death ally" of the family.
"Duke, I have heard that Margaret has been taken away. Do you already have more leads? After just a few moments, Moriarty immediately turned to the point.
"It should have been the work of a dragonfly beast armor, but my subordinates have not been able to find its final whereabouts." Still maintaining a calm expression, Midamoya said slowly.
"Didn't continue the search?" Looking at each other, Moriarty's eyes suddenly flashed.
"My father has sent five squadrons of rangers to search in all directions, but if it was really the 'dragon fly' who did it, it was probably through the air, and ordinary ground tracking would not be effective. But if you want to dispatch the extreme powerhouse, at the current moment, it is very likely to fall into the full set of the other party and be besieged and killed. So..."
Seeing Moriarty's dissatisfaction, Ronnie hurriedly explained, his tone was also angry but helpless.
The kidnapping of Margaret can almost be said to be a conspiracy, one is to disturb the mind of the Duke of Midamoa, the second is to affect the preparation process of Wolf Castle, and the third is likely to be a trap as Ronnie said, attracting the strong men under the Duke's command to go out and find opportunities to surround and kill them, directly weakening the top combat power of competitors.
"Is that so...", the other party's words were also true, and then looking at the duke's seemingly indifferent gaze, Morityaty's eyes brightened: "In this case, I will be responsible for searching for and rescuing Margaret." As an outsider, the prince should not be aware of my existence, and whether he succeeds or fails will not affect Wolfsburg. ”
"Then, please leave it to His Excellency Moriarty." The Duke of Midamoa nodded, and then bowed rarely, as a heartfelt thank you to the other party as a father.
"Duke, it doesn't have to be this way." Looking at the duke's forbearant expression, Moriarty finally sighed lightly: "If there is any belongings of Margaret, please find me immediately." ”
"Okay, I'll get it." Catherine, who had not said a word, left in a hurry, and hurried back a few minutes later, holding a golden crown of hair in her hand: "This is what Margaret uses to tie her hair every day, and she temporarily removed it because she was wearing a helmet that day." ”
"Yes." Moriarty nodded, took the gold crown directly, held it in his left hand, and at the same time took out a fangs from his sleeve and squeezed his right hand.
"This is..."
Looking at the fangs, Ronnie and Catherine couldn't help but look at each other, because it was the wolf tooth pendant that Margaret had given her. Only the Duke of Midamoa still had a pale face, as if he didn't know that this was a gift from his daughter to his sweetheart.
When he held the crown of his hair and the wolf's fangs at the same time, a light gray aura suddenly appeared around Moriati's body, slowly turning left, forming an inexplicable swirl of mist. In the gray mist, there are other silver threads shuttling and flickering, like the warp and weft threads of weaving, running throughout.
"This!?"
All the people present were all strong men in the battle or law ranks, and they immediately felt the cold and obscure meaning of the gray aura, but it was obviously different from the rumored death aura, which couldn't help but make people suspicious.
Gradually, the gray mist slowly condensed into a physical entity, and the silver filaments in it finally merged into a delicate and dazzling magic circle.
As a result, the two similarities and differences in temperament were revealed from the wolf's tooth and the golden crown respectively, and then drilled into the silver array of gray mist at the same time.
Then, a flash of light flashed, and in front of everyone's eyes, a translucent light was projected, and then like a line under a paintbrush, an irregular long line swirling left and right, zigzag up and down, until finally it remained motionless in a certain position.
"What is this?"
With a wave of his hand, the gray mist and silver circle dissipated, but the light remained.
Catherine looked at the irregular line and wondered.
"This is a map of the spatial path that Margaret has traveled through in the past two days. The location has been determined from north to south, so let's start with the location of Wolfsburg, and you can familiarize yourself with the local geography and see where that point is. ”
Moriarty put away his wolf fangs, handed back the crown of his hair, and said lightly.
In fact, this spell was learned from Dejia's Necromancer Alliance, and the principle is the soul catcher's spirit search magic, which is suitable for use now.
"The road map... Is it? ”
After glancing at Moriarty again, the werewolf's gaze turned back to the light, and her heart was still surprised.
Could it be that after being promoted to the rank of Grand Arcanist, the power of magic has become so powerful that it can transcend time and space barriers to find targets? At the thought of this, Catherine's heart was a little confused for some reason.
"It's... Petrograd in the Ruger province! ”
Ronnie didn't have as many things as a girl, and he was familiar with the local situation, so he immediately saw at a glance where the focus of the light was.
"Petrograd?"
"It was the capital of the Ruger province and the core domain of Count Silvet. The famous 'Blood Flag Brigade' is also stationed here. Clausewitz explained.
"Count Silvet..."Hearing the name, Moriarty seemed to have a memory.
"Yes, the true owner of the 'Savage Totem' and one of the only two 'Earls of Glory' in the United Kingdom, whose strength is comparable to that of a duke, but he has not been promoted to the rank of duke within the restricted territory." The old werewolf continued.
"I remember." Moriarty nodded.
Years ago, he had "dealings" with the bands of thieves of the Savage Totem in the Hurricane Wasteland, which led to Margaret and Clausewitz. So after his return, Moriarty inquired about the reality of the enemy.
"Did Silvet's people do it?" At this moment, Ronnie let out a low roar.
"Not necessarily, it could be that the prince wanted to muddy the waters, or provoke a battle between Wolfsburg and Petrograd." Catherine denied.
"Anyway, Margaret's location has been decided, and the rest will be left to me."
After saying that, Moriarty didn't look back, and walked out of the Duke's palace quickly.
Midamoya and the others were silent for a moment, until the light in the void finally dissipated on its own. (To be continued......)
