When he walked into the large library, Kerst introduced Rika that when he was studying at the Royal Military Academy in San Jose, he often came here with Feida, and there was a good friend of theirs, the librarian, who was a kind old man.

Rika said, "Your Excellency, you and Miss Feida go in, and I won't go." ”

Kester smiled, "Let's go together, it's not in Carman now, although you are my squire, you don't have to think too low of yourself." ”

Feida also pulled Rika with her.

Kuta still lived in his small room in the large library, the iron door was still lightly covered, and Koster quietly pushed the door open, and a familiar figure lay at the table. The small room was still dim, and the blue magic lamp released a soft light, a glowing blue light, which seemed a little mysterious.

Feida grabbed Kester, stretched out his hand and gestured at the edge of his mouth, and then tiptoed into the house, quietly walked behind the old man, stretched out his hands and reached out to cover the old man's eyes, but the hands just reached out to the eyes, and the hand that was still flipping the book just now suddenly raised, and grabbed Feida's hand, "Hehe", accompanied by a hearty laugh, "I knew it was you, this little girl, why, have time to come back to see me." ”

Seeing that Kuta had grabbed his hand, Feida jumped up and hugged Kuta instead, "Miss me, Grandpa Kuta." Kuta smiled and patted Feida on the back, "Okay, well, I miss you too, Feida, it's been a long time since I've been back." What's the matter, with that handsome guy, you don't want my Grandpa Kuta. ”

Feida squirmed embarrassedly, "Caster is right outside the door, Grandpa Kuta......" Caster also walked in at this time, "Grandpa Kuta hasn't seen you for a long time." Rika followed behind Kester, but did not come in, but stood guard at the door.

Kuta looked at Koster with a smile, "You're here too!, well, you're getting more and more handsome, and you're worthy of the person our Feida picked." Huh, who's behind you?"

Kester glanced back, but Rika didn't come in, "Oh, it's my personal attendant Rika, Rika, come in and meet Grandpa Kuta, he's my elder with Feida, Rika." However, Kuta suddenly raised his hand to stop Kester, and instead stood up and walked out the door.

Kerst and Ferda were confused, and Rika, who had already walked to the door when they heard the call, also had a puzzled expression on their faces.

"Have you ever met a dark mage?" Kuta took Rika's hand, felt it carefully, and suddenly asked, all the three people present were stunned, Renxter or Feida, no one would have thought that Kuta, who has always been kind and gentle, would actually ask this question? Seeing that everyone did not answer, Kuta turned his head, his serious face was a little unfamiliar, "Have you met a dark mage?"

Koster had to tell all the things that happened to the Duchy of Mosat, and also told Kuta all about Rika's past, Kuta, who nodded while listening, suddenly turned his head and asked Rika, "When you did it, did you not realize why you did it at all, but there was a feeling in your heart, this is the moment?"

Rika nodded musfully, "Yes, I couldn't figure it out later, I felt like I was ** indulgence at that time." But I couldn't find any reason to stop myself from doing it, as if I was right. ”

Kuta turned to the library and rummaged through the bookshelves behind him. Feida whispered to Koster's ear, "There are some forbidden books in the Great Library of San Jose, and no one is allowed to read them without Grandpa Kuta's permission." Kuta quickly pulled out an old book that looked to be some years old from a row of books, fluttered the dust from the page, and brought it to the crowd.

In addition to being a little old, the style of the book looks very gorgeous, surrounded by a circle of intricate patterns, and in the middle is a pentagram, and there is an eye in the center of the pentagram. However, the most surprising thing is that the book is incomplete, and the entire second half of the book is actually charred and blackened, looking as if it was burned and rescued.

Kuta didn't explain to a few people, but hurriedly flipped through the pages of the book, and then looked it up in the book, and soon, Kuta straightened up, "Hey, old fool, I'm not a magic guardian, otherwise I would definitely remember this." ”

Koster and Ferda's attention was now entirely on the book, and they didn't hear Kuta's self-talk. On the page that Kuta opened, two people were drawn, one kneeling, the other standing, the standing man palms down, and a black mist enveloping the kneeling man. In the mist, there was a row of golden text, which Kerter and Faeda could not read. Underneath the drawing, there was another line of text, "This seems to be ancient writing?from the era of the Magic Empire?" and Kerst stabbed Fayda.

"Kester, you're not mistaken, these words are indeed unique to the era of the Magic Empire, this sentence and this picture actually represent a magic spell, its name is 'Spiritual Shackles', it can plant a seed of thought in people's hearts, and when it is activated, it will do things contrary to common sense according to your ideas when it is controlled. I think this Rika girl fell for this magic at that time. ”

"It's horrible. Feida sighed, she looked at Rika and found that the other party was also palpitating, Rika asked, "Grandpa Kuta, this magic, these words below, are they more descriptive?"

"Yes, the magic is described here, and it's pretty much the same as you said, so I'm sure you were under the control of the magic at the time. Of course, your willpower is quite strong, and at the last moment, you are partially free of this control, so you have to thank Rika well, Kerth. ”

"Rika, why didn't you say it then?" asked Feda suspiciously, Rika shrugged, "How could anyone believe such a thing, in that situation at the time, and besides, my sword was actually stuck in Kerth's body." ”

Kerst patted Rika on the shoulder, "Okay Rika, it's all over, now that you're my squire, don't dwell on this matter anymore, promise me, okay." ”

Rika nodded heavily, and Fida smiled as well.

Kester suddenly remembered something at this time, "Grandpa Kuta, you know such an ancient script of the Magic Empire, so do you recognize the dwarven script?"

Kuta thought for a moment, "Dwarven writing, it seems that I haven't seen it for a long time, but I should still be able to recognize some of it, what's the matter, have you seen the remnants of the dwarves anywhere? This race, it's a pity, it seems that it has been dead on this continent for a long time......"

Kester shook his head, "It's nothing, I thought of one thing, I'll ask again when I have a chance later." Feyda looked at Koster with a puzzled look, she didn't understand what Koster was trying to ask, and Koster estimated that Feyda had forgotten the text under the Dwarven Throne. To tell the truth, after Fizio wrote down the text at that time, before he had time to ask the elders, the entire elven kingdom was hidden by the elven king, and Kerst had been thinking about it.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Kuta suddenly slapped his head, "Oh, people just don't have a good memory when they're old, you see, Feida, what you asked me about before, now I have a clue." ”

Feida was stunned, "Please, what's the matter?"

Kuta smiled, "Of course it's related to your life experience, I asked you to go to the elven kingdom to look for clues, and I wasn't idle, now, I found a clue." ”

Twenty years ago, in the Royal Palace of San Jose, in the city of the Red Keep, Emperor Solomon Lyman (Note 1) was discussing with his ministers about the elven slave girls in the Red Keep. The elders of the Elven Kingdom officially submitted a diplomatic statement to San Jose, prohibiting the San Jose Empire from continuing to support the slave catchers to capture the elves, and if this happened again, the elders of the Elven Kingdom would personally intervene to resolve the matter.

The emperor and the ministers were from long-established aristocratic families, and naturally knew that the elven elders were super magicians with strong magical abilities, and out of respect or fear, Emperor Solomon decided to move all the elven female slaves in the Red Keep to a remote country farm in the San Jose Empire. It is rumored in the mainland that the elven slave catcher team is actually supported by the royal family of San Jose to capture elven female slaves to please some of the great nobles of San Jose, and the number of elf female slaves in the Red Fort is not a few.

But since the elven elder came forward in person, it is better not to let the elven elder know about this matter, if he really finds evidence of the elven slave girl in the Red Castle, Emperor Solomon is still afraid of the elf king. Therefore, it is the best choice to send them to the countryside and disappear in the long river of time.

Listening to Kuta's narration, Feida was a little nervous, "Then Grandpa Kuta, have you found my mother's traces?"

Kuta nodded, twenty years ago, there were about forty elf slave girls who were sent out of the Red Keep, and only one of them had just given birth to a child at that time, that was a young female elf named "Abigail", this elf was characterized by a beautiful purple hair, and she was also unusually beautiful. There is no record of the whole elf slave girl sending out of the Red Fort, but one of the human soldiers who participated in the escort later mentioned that they had escorted a group of beautiful female elves to a city east of San Jose, and on the way to the escort, the escort soldiers had arbitrarily bullied those poor elves.

There is a reference to the purple-haired Abigail, who was an elf who had just given birth and was the weakest of her body, and the human soldier often bullied her along the way. Subsequent transcripts were gone, and the human soldier was quickly hanged, all clues pointing to the town east of San Jose.

"What's the name of that town?" Feida's expression was not very good, and her eyes were a little red.

"It seems to be called 'Donghai Town', kid, it's the eastern part of San Jose close to the 'Long Sea', it seems to be not far from the sea, I'm old, you can only see for yourself if you can find clues. ”

"Of course I'm going!" said Feida, who clenched her fists.

Note 1: Solomon Lyman, the father of Benin Lyman, the previous 'human emperor', Emperor San José, has died.
