The mage who kidnapped the female druid and seized the Key of the Blue Wind was clearly aimed at the ruins of the Vesura...... It seems that the person who knows the purpose of the four elemental keys is not just Gordon.

After telling the elders of Akan of his reasoning, Gordon and Sigrid left Green Wheat Town.

Nominally, the female Druidia was a vassal of Gordon. Since the subject pays taxes and dedicates loyalty, then as a lord, he is obliged to provide security for him. This was the basis of the feudal contract.

So Gordon promised Pensa and the others to save their matriarch. Fortunately, the kidnapper's purpose is obviously also Mount Waisula, which is the same as Gordon's, so there is a good chance that the two sides will meet in the mountain. So Gordon didn't need to be torn between saving Venia and his main purpose.

"Lord Earl, do we need to speed things up?" As soon as she left Green Wheat Town, Sigrid asked, "It's only been more than an hour since Miss Vigna was kidnapped. Miss Vinia's identity is very conspicuous, and that mage will inevitably cover it up, and it is impossible to swagger and follow the right path. And he carries two captives, and his mobility will be reduced. Maybe we can catch up and catch up. ”

"Sigrid, your analysis is indeed correct." Gordon patted the knightess on the shoulder. However, just such a movement, Gordon's palm even patted the female knight's body through the heavy metal shoulder armor, which also made her body slightly tight, and she seemed to be extremely nervous.

Gordon didn't pay attention to this small detail, and continued to analyze: "But you are just thinking with common sense. Knights like you rely on horses to move. Factors like roads, degrees, etc., need to be considered. But mages are different. The mage who had kidnapped Venia and snatched the Key of the Blue Wind was swift and stealthy. Obviously a thoughtful and well-prepared guy. So at this time, the other party may have used the teleportation array set up in advance to escape. Although I have a way to analyze the other party's teleportation destination based on the residual energy of the teleportation array, it is very time-consuming. Coupled with the time it took to find the teleportation array, I'm afraid that by the time this qiē is done, it will already be ten days and a half months away. ”

That is to say. Our best bet is to go to Mount Wesula and wait for the mage to deliver it himself? The knightess summed up Gordon's reasoning.

"That's right." Gordon nodded.

…………

As Gordon and Sigrid rode towards their destination. In a forest at the foot of Mount Wesula, the blue light unique to the magic teleportation array flashed in a hurry, and three figures walked out of the light.

Although the mage did not wear his distinctive sky-blue narrow-sleeved robe, which symbolized his status, his white face with gold-rimmed glasses. But nothing has changed.

He's the one from the Arcane Federation. The young mage Rufa who once had a relationship with Gordon.

It seems that in addition to the idea of the magic spring in Gordon's territory, this mage also has a considerable interest in the legacy of the Magic Empire of Netherduran in the Willowa Mountains.

Behind him are the female druid Ivania, who disappeared in the town of Green Wheat this morning, and Alva.

The female druid was in good condition, neatly dressed and uninjured. Aside from staring at Rufa with resentful eyes all the time, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

And Alva behind her. It's miserable.

The young man wore only a crotch cloth to cover his shame, and his body was covered with bloody scars. And with a rusty metal collar around his neck, and shackles on his hands and feet—he was dressed like a slave.

However, it is very normal for a mage to have a few slaves around him. Not only can they help the mage with all kinds of chores, but they are also the materials for spell casting or the fodder for the mage to raise monsters. Unless someone can recognize the identity of a female druid at a glance, a mage with a female companion and a slave will not be suspicious even if he walks on the Imperial Capital Avenue.

"Miss Vigna, even if you look at me with that burning look, I enjoy it." Rufa's eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing a needle-like glow behind the lenses. He looked at the female druid playfully, and said, "But you'd better not do anything else irrationally." Otherwise, if I just read a password, I will have to pull out the plug in your 'brother's neck......"

Vigna knew that Rufa was referring to the collar around Alva's neck. It was enchanted with a fan-shaped stance spell. As soon as the password was activated, Alva separated, blood gushing out of the cross-section of the carotid artery - like champagne with a cork removed.

"Rufa, why did you do that? You've done us so much in the past, and Alva has treated you as a big brother. Aren't we friends? ”

The mage gently touched the frame and sneered, "Dear Venia. We used to be friends. But friendship is also valuable. Our friendship is nothing to mention in the face of the legacy of the Great Magic Empire. I tried you so many times last night, but you still refused to give me the key to the green wind. I had no choice but to do it myself. ”

Vinia didn't expect that the mage, who was still smiling at the welcome banquet yesterday, would turn his face so quickly.

"The power of the Key of the Green Wind is something that only I can wield. Whatever you want to do, you won't succeed! ”

Lufa shook his head: "If it weren't for that key, only you could use it, do you think you would still be alive until now?" I'm so angry that you killed my favorite pet with the sun. ”

Seeing the other party's murderous eyes, the female druid felt a chill: "Are you not afraid of destroying the relationship between the Aikan people and the Arcane Federation by doing this?" ”

"I'm sorry, Miss Venia. The Arcane Federation and your Aikan tribe are completely two different orders of magnitude. The benefit of maintaining a good relationship with us is nothing more than allowing the mages on the island to eat fresh and abundant food. Again, the weight of the Aikan people is too light, and the chain of friendship between us is too fragile. In the face of the greater good, it is simply not enough. ”

"And what about Count Hyven? Now that I am a vassal of Lord Earl, your behavior today ......"

Before Venia could finish speaking, Rufa interrupted the other party with a scornful smile: "Hmph, you said that mage who pretends to be smart? If it weren't for the Adventurer's Concession decree he issued, maybe I wouldn't have paid too much attention to the affairs of Mount Waisula. His little tricks can't hide from really smart people. As a mage who has been active on the Hyven Peninsula all year round, I am also interested in the legend of Mount Waisula. Thanks to the information leaked by Gordon in the decree, it gave me enlightenment. Then, in the great library of the Austrian Federation, I found many interesting things. For mages, knowledge and information are the true source of power. That Gordon. Count Freeman thought that he had the most information about Mount Wesula, but he did not know that I was backed by the knowledge of the entire Arcane Federation, and that he could only be regarded as an ignorant fool in front of me. ”

Rufa looked at the elemental key wrapped around the wind of green energy in his hand and smiled smugly. (To be continued......)
