Winter in the north came very early, and when the Desik army of the Shang Alliance was still feeling the last hint of late autumn coolness, the snow had already fallen in the city of Auckland.

The Earl of Norton, dressed in a thick leather jacket, boarded a nondescript carriage with the support of a group of subordinates. Elizabeth came to see off on behalf of Archduke Bazemore, "Lord Earl, have you really decided?"

Norton, who had just boarded the carriage, did not go in, but turned to look at the small castle in the distance, "I always felt, Elizabeth, your teacher, that he had some other goals. As for me, I'm very old this year, and I don't want to see the Desik Empire at the end of my life. ”

The neighborhood is so uninhabited that it can be said that the streets of the entire city of Auckland will not be seen in this snowy season. Earl Norton said quite naturally, and Elizabeth, who was under the car, also changed her face several times.

"You're no longer Desik's prime minister!" looked at the carriage slowly moving south, Elizabeth sighed, but unfortunately her father was no longer there.

Elizabeth, who had returned to the castle, had just stepped into the parlor when she heard a familiar voice beside her, "He's gone?"

Looking back, her teacher, Bazemore, was leaning against the door.

"Yes, as you expected, I knocked on the side, Count Norton must want to go to San Jose. ”

"What is there to be happy about, he went to San Jose, that is not obvious. Bazemore straightened up, then paced to the couch in the room and sat down, "But this old man is also quite respectable, I don't even know what he should do when he goes to San Jose?

Elizabeth laughed the same, "That's where he contradicts it, he wants to stop the chaos and save the lives of Desik's children. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about him, let's go, we've taken him in for so long, and we're worthy of him. Now, then, we have to talk about your plans. Bazemore clapped his hands and motioned for Elizabeth to sit down as well.

Elizabeth was silent.

Elizabeth naturally has her considerations, and it has been for a long time. As the youngest daughter of Prince Ferdinand, she had not been noticed by everyone before, and only her teacher, the Grand Duke of Bazemore, knew what a strong and competitive girl she was.

After Prince Ferdinand's death, Elizabeth has always wanted to avenge him, but she is only a young princess and has no choice.

At the Prince's funeral, as a magician, she had a keen sense of observation, and at that time she felt a strange sensation in Archduke Edward, and this feeling of bad words made her suspicious of Edward at that time.

Later, during the dark magic incident that occurred in White Rock City, the Merchant Alliance's Adventurers' Guild and San Jose's court magicians worked together to help Desik hunt down the assassin who assassinated Prince Ferdinand. To this end, Elizabeth also sent a gift to Captain Green to identify herself.

Then, a series of events that happened in White Rock City, the capital of Desik, finally made Elizabeth see Edward's face clearly, and then on the battlefield of the Merchant Alliance, the magician openly helped Desik's army, and almost made Edward shout in the palace of White Rock City, I am with the dark magician!

"Is your target Edward or the Dark Mage?" Bazemore had asked Elizabeth.

Elizabeth herself couldn't say it well, but she promised for a long time, "Of course, it's all of them!"

Over the years, thanks to the bonus of talent, Elizabeth's attainments in space magic have been quite profound. Her teacher, Archduke Bazemore, once said, "Magic is bestowed." It means that the decisive factor in the level of magical ability is the talent hidden in the bloodline.

Therefore, he also taught Elizabeth without complaints, in just a few years, Elizabeth's magic ability is no longer inferior to the ordinary court magicians of San Jose, and more importantly, she cultivates mysterious space magic.

"I'm going back to White Rock, I'm going to get a closer look at what Edward VI wants to do?" said Elizabeth, categorically.

"Oh, sneak into the palace with the spatial magic I taught you, is that what you're going to do?" Bazemore teased.

"No, the magic space I created can last for dozens of hours without any problem. As she spoke, Elizabeth couldn't help but stand up and gest.

"Okay, okay, got it. Okay, then you can go, anyway, with your identity, even if there is any problem, Edward will not embarrass you, right?"

"That's true, but if there's any real trouble, I'll report the teacher's name. Elizabeth suddenly jumped up to Bazemore's side and pulled him by the arm, shaking it playfully.

Bazemore didn't have a headache: "Okay, you stay, I'm going back to the 'Shadowless Land', these few days of retreat, don't disturb me, I won't give it to you if I want to leave." ”

The Shadowless Land, the mysterious space of the Grand Duke of Bazemore, was created by his ancestor Hypnos, and is exactly the same as the family magic space of the Ivan family. After Bazemore's teacher left, the shadowless land was passed to him, and it was naturally left to Elizabeth in the future.

This is not a very large magical space, at least much smaller than the magic space of the Ivan family, it seems to be the size of a room, surrounded by a mess of magical items and various manuscripts.

"Messy magic laboratory", Bazemore sighed after entering the place for the first time with the magic spell left by his teacher, but he didn't expect that after a few years, it seemed to become even more chaotic.

Presumably, magicians are all like this.

The things of the clutter pile were moved around, revealing a bronze mirror behind it, the bronze mirror, the shape is quite prosperous, not quite like a product of this era, but a bit like a legacy of the Magic Empire era.

Bazemore straightened his clothes, and suddenly patted his head, and as if remembering something, he pulled out a black hood from the pile of debris beside him, and put it on, and the hood completely covered his face. Then, he stretched out his hand and lightly tapped it three times on the surface of the bronze mirror: "Do! Do!"

Suddenly, the edge of the bronze mirror suddenly lit up! A circle of bright light, turning around the bronze mirror, and then brushing the ground, the whole mirror lit up.

On the bronze mirror, a shadow gradually began to appear, the same figure wearing a black hood, which was not real.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me? ”

"Hehe, Northern Protector ~ Fa, you don't have to worry, I know that you and the organization are inseparable, and the organization doesn't have too many requirements for you, you can rest assured. "The shadow in the bronze mirror made a strange sound.

This sound doesn't seem to be naturally formed, and this bronze mirror can actually transmit sounds from other places.

Grand Duke Bazemore said with a solemn face, "I know, if you want to ask me, I won't take care of you, I and you, we are different people and have different pursuits." I know that Arthur is serving my brother, and I also know that the things you did on the front line of the merchant alliance, the 'Dark Veil', the 'Blood Forbidden Curse', hehe, you are a little bolder!"

The shadow was not angry, "Except for you, is there anyone on this continent who knows about the several forbidden spells of the Magic Empire back then, I'm afraid most people haven't even heard of it." In that case, what else is there to worry about. ”

Grand Duke Bazemore frowned, "Others don't know, you don't know yet?Southern Protector~Fa Lord, the Patriarch Guild doesn't know?The study of forbidden spells eventually caused an imbalance in magical power, which in turn led to the loss of a large number of outstanding magical nobles! Don't forget, this is the beginning of the collapse of the Magic Empire!"

The person on the other side, who was called the Southern Protector ~ by Bazemore, shrouded in shadows, didn't know where it was sacred, seeing that the other side didn't speak, Bazemore was a little unhappy, "I really don't understand why you like to do this, Lord Lanlan, you are the Southern Protector ~ Fa, do you really think that your little magic disturbance can hide from me?"

The magician known as Lan Lan suddenly raised his head, and the reason for the shadow could only vaguely see the outline of a stumbling figure, "Okay, Grand Duke, I admit that what you said makes sense. However, the possibility that the forbidden spells that have been left behind may cause a magic collapse (Note 1) are no less successful than what Arthur is doing. Rich and dangerous!"

"So I just don't like your attitude, and you're still in danger of getting rich. What do I need to be rich?" Bazemore dissatisfied, "Okay, I won't say anything more, let's talk about what you have to do?"

Seeing that Bazemore was no longer discussing that topic, the other party was also upright, "I just want to ask the Northern Protector ~ Lord Fa, when will you come back to organize a meeting?"

Grand Duke Bazemore breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter, such a trivial matter is worth using the magic mirror, a hedron is not cheap, this thing is now using one less piece." ”

Archduke Bazemore, who had closed the magic mirror, said nothing more and turned away.

In the southern part of the continent, thousands of miles north of Desik, in an unknown mysterious place. A young woman with a graceful posture was slowly covering the bronze mirror in front of her with a cloth, and a man in black behind her asked in a low voice, "How is it, Lord Protector~Fa!"

"The Northern Protector ~ has been separated from the organization for many years, and I just asked out of politeness this time. As expected, he was still willing to stay in the small town in the north. But it doesn't matter, we just don't want him to know, so we can move on to the next step. ”

The two men walked out of the house, a small castle on the shore of the long sea in the south, the waves bubbling on the rocky beach on the shore, and not far away, there was a naval garrison camp in San Jose. Several San Jose Navy sailboats are practicing on the long sea.

The leading woman looked at the scene not far away and smiled evilly.

Note 1: Magic collapse is a dangerous magical phenomenon. According to the Magic Empire, the cause of this phenomenon is unknown, and it is mostly related to the study of magic.

When a magic collapse occurs, the magical elements in an area will become very violent, and the people in it will lose their minds and even their minds due to the excessive mental impact.

Rumor has it that the most terrifying magical collapses can even affect the real world, such as causing earthquakes or tsunamis.
