At 5 a.m., Monica was woken up from her bed, and her first reaction was that something was wrong, and it was very serious.

Her strength is only second-order, and she used to be a Black Sea knight, but because of her high emotional intelligence, she is good at guiding public opinion and playing with words, and she was appreciated by Sandra, who was still the lord of the Black Sea at the time, and was promoted to the head of the public relations group of the Evelyn Palace, and four years later was promoted to the external spokesperson of the Evelyn Palace.

After the establishment of the Black Sea Principality, she continued to sit in this position with her outstanding ability, and if she could grow her lower arms and become a four-armed naga one day in the future, it was not impossible to impact the position of press officer.

"What happened?"

"Prince Talos is missing!" replied the colleague on duty quickly, speaking at a rapid pace, "Just seven minutes ago, at 4:55 a.m., there was an attack on the Earl's Palace, and when the guards arrived at the bedroom, they did not find the prince himself. ”

"What's worse is that more than 700 Naga have witnessed the Illuminati sign rising over the Earl's Court, which has already alarmed the Sea Temple, and the matter has initially spread on the magic web, and when the day dawns, public opinion will further ferment. ”

So Talos, who had just been banished to the fiefdom by the Grand Duke for a few days, was kidnapped by the Illuminati!?

This is not a small surprise, since the members of the Illuminati have always been insane, and it is difficult to rationalize who is more notorious in the main material plane between the Truth Initiation Ritual and the Necromancy.

Second, whether the missing Talos was kidnapped or dead is a very interesting question.

Although Talos was exiled, as the spokesperson of the Evelyn Palace, Monica knew more or less about the inside story, for example, the Grand Duke did not actually dislike Talos, but simply expressed his attitude towards inheritance rights as the Grand Duke and stabilized the political environment of the Principality.

"Start the third contingency plan first, and the others will come with me, have a meeting, and have a meeting right away. ”

Monica sprang into action immediately, her small spokesperson had been woken up from her sleep in the early hours of the morning, and other armed forces such as the Black Sea Knights and the Mage Legion were definitely busier, and they also had the important responsibility of trying to find Talos's whereabouts in the Black Sea with the help of spells or magic items than most civilian administrators.

At 5:16, more than 100 Naga mages and 200 Black Sea Knights who were proficient in the prophecy faction arrived in Gorgon through the teleportation array to work with the local Earl's Court Guards and City Patrol Guards, who had been in action for a long time.

Eagle Eye, Instantaneous Search, Arcane Vision, Arcane Eye, Microscopic Detection, Biolocalization, Revealing Areas, Knowing Cities......

Spells of different colors radiated in all directions from the center of Count Gorgon's Palace.

"The north, judging by the results of the spell, there are remnants in the north. ”

At 5:18, a high-level Naga mage who was performing an environmental reconnaissance technique seemed to feel something, suddenly stopped moving, and raised his head to look up.

Kiss!

With a soft sound, a white ice bead the size of a fingertip fell in the sea and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Iceball, no, hail?"

Strange as a Black Sea knight, it is not easy to see hail in the ocean, which is often melted by the ubiquitous waters as they sink to the bottom of the ocean.

"It's not hail!" said the High Naga Master affirmed, "Look at it. ”

When the others heard this, they saw more hail falling from the sea, at first the hail was not much, sparse, but soon it was dense, and large white spots suddenly appeared in the blue ocean, which was spectacular.

"How can there be so much hail, it's at least 1,000 feet above the sea here!"

Obviously, this phenomenon is very rare in the ocean.

"Water elemental meteorology, I had the privilege of witnessing it once 32 years ago, and I can't be wrong!" Another high-level Naga mage stretched out his lower arm to catch a hailstone, and faintly, she could feel a special aura contained in the hail, "It must be the Great Justice who is looking for Prince Talos with the help of hail." ”

Water Elemental Meteorology, a fifth-order legendary spell, has no attack power, and its only function is to search for target traces in a large area, and the range of action of the spell is calculated in "province", far above the "city" and "county".

Once the spell is cast, there will be weather related to "water" within the area of effect, such as heavy rain, or heavy snow, hail, fog, etc.

These raindrops, snowflakes, hail, and fog are not natural phenomena, but the eyes and ears of the caster, and if the target happens to be drenched in the area, even a drop of rain will be perceived by the caster, which is very amazing.

"Although the Grand Duke is far away in the Black Sea, if I am not mistaken, the whole Black Sea will soon receive hail. Gen Naga said, "Not only that, but there should also be hail on the sea." ”

From the sky to the ocean, it was covered in a large amount of hail, but most of the Naga were still asleep at this time, and they did not have the privilege of witnessing this spectacle.

At 5:22, Talos had just left Gorgon and entered Phoenicia, and the direction he chose was north.

The Black Sea is located in the southeast of the Central Ocean, north of the Oriental Peninsula, and Gorgon, located in the northern part of the Black Sea, from Gorgon, it is possible to bypass the Far Eastern Peninsula of the Ilibs and enter the Arctic Ocean.

When Talos went out on an adventure for the first time, he took this route all the way to Black Dragon Island.

Suddenly, he saw a hailstone in the ocean.

"Water Elemental Meteorology!?"

Talos didn't shy away, he knew very well that only Sandra was eligible to use this somewhat frilled legendary spell in the Black Sea at this time.

"My mother has only been promoted to Legend for a short time, and she can use this kind of super-large range legendary spell that is basically for veteran legendary mages, so I don't have to worry about the church attacking the Black Sea, and all kinds of crimes can fall on me. ”

Power is justice, this sentence is a bit biased, but sometimes it is quite good, the Sea God Temple will not continue to disagree with a legendary mage because of an exiled nobleman, and some things can be pointed.

He stretched out his lower right arm to catch a hailstone, watched it slowly melt in the palm of his hand, and then continued to set off in the direction of the Arctic Ocean without hesitation.

Talos had already thought about it, and at present, the Temple of Order and Knights, and the Empress of the Golden Empire were all staring at him, and there would soon be a third force, the Sea Temple.

Just like Maeve had planned, once things got to the point, there was no chance that he would continue to stay in the Naga Kingdom.

The main material plane is the four oceans, the Naga Kingdom is located in the Central Ocean, the Mermaid Mermaid United Kingdom is located in the Western Ocean, and the north of the Ilibu continent is the Arctic Ocean, and the Antarctic Ocean is near Antarctic Iceland, which has always been inaccessible, but Talos will not go anywhere, his destination is the dungeon.

The two continents, the four oceans are located on the surface and are vibrant, and the dungeons are located in the underground space, which is relatively inhospitable, and the two are connected by naturally occurring dragon passages.

Most of the dungeon is the territory of the dwarves and dark elves, and the two have been divided into hostile forces due to religious issues, and there has been no peace.

When the time comes, Talos will find a deep underground pool and hide in it, it will be difficult for ordinary people to find him.

At 5:23 a.m., at the Palace of Evelines, Sandra, armed with a staff and long dark blonde hair, terminated the legendary spell.

"Did you find out who kidnapped Tal?" asked Leonhard.

Sandra shook her head, her brows furrowed slightly, and she instructed the chief of staff and press officer, "Let the Black Sea Knights and the Mage Legion continue to search, and don't let go of any corner." In addition, care should be taken to control and guide public opinion, and the principality must not let the Illuminati tarnish its reputation. ”

"Yes!"

Leonhard, who was standing on the side, was a little dissatisfied, Sandra's reaction was too calm, from the beginning to the present, but there were outsiders there, and it was not easy for him to express his objections.

A Black Sea knight hurriedly entered the council hall and reported, "Grand Duke, High Priest Finrod has come to visit. ”

Seconds later, the High Priest of the Black Sea Diocese came to the council hall and led the priests to salute Sandra, not because of her position as an archduke, but out of respect for a legendary mage.

He took out a magic net ring, straightened his waist, and said in a loud voice: "After learning of the accident, the church immediately retrieved the eye of the gods in the Gorgon region, and found no trace of the Illuminati, but we found the picture of Talos leaving the Earl's Court alone, not kidnapped, not injured, and no sign of being controlled by mental magic. ”

"What!?"

Leonhard couldn't sit still, and he would rather the Illuminati kidnap Talos than that of the Illuminati, or at least the latter would have a glimmer of hope.

The Illuminati, how could it be the Illuminati, he couldn't believe it.

The chief of staff, the head of the mage legion, the press officer and other officials in the council hall were also shocked, and they were naturally not simple-minded people who could sit in their positions, and naturally understood the meaning of the words of the high priest of Finrod, the Illuminati symbol over the Earl's palace was made by Talos, and even Talos was a member of the Illuminati!

If Finrod hadn't lied, it would have been a big scandal, and in a few hours it would have been able to detonate the Naga Kingdom, and things were going in the worst direction, and for a while, everyone couldn't help but look at Sandra.

The Grand Duke of the Black Sea was calmer than anyone else, and she didn't have much expression on her face when she was always indifferent, just made a slight gesture at Finrod, and then the magic web ring automatically fell into her hand.

According to the footage taken from the Eye of the Gods in the Ring of the Magic Net, at 4:55 a.m. this morning, several thick streams of water rampaged through the Earl's Palace, and then formed a huge Illuminati symbol.

Nine seconds later, a figure took advantage of the chaos to quietly leave, it was none other than Talos, who had been awarded the title of prince and count.

The chamber fell into an eerie silence, which became more and more oppressive as time went on, until at last there was only the sound of breathing.

"Grand Duke, what happened in the Earl's Palace of Gorgon has been sent to the Grand Temple of the Seven Seas, and His Majesty the Pope will soon have an order, and we are also acting according to the rules. ”

After nearly a minute of patient and uneasy waiting, Finrod had to take the initiative, regretting that he had brought the bad news to the Evelyn Palace himself, so he had to carry it out of the Temple of the Sea and Helga II to warn Sandra not to act rashly.

"I didn't even know that the Gorgon area was also equipped with the Eye of the Gods. Sandra said calmly, raising her hand without giving Finrod a chance to explain, "But it's a bit arbitrary to conclude that Talos is a member of the Illuminati based on this image." ”

"Grand Duke—"

"The information you have submitted only proves that, first, the fact that the Illuminati emblem appeared in the Earl's Court, was witnessed by more than 700 Nagas, and second, that Talos, who left Gorgon alone, was not kidnapped by the Illuminati, nothing more. I strongly agree with Talos that he is the first suspect, but not a member of the Illuminati, you understand?"

Sandra used a question, but Finrod could grasp her determination, and he couldn't find a rebuttal for a short time, so he nodded dejectedly, whether it was logical reasoning or evidence.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't directly convict "Talos is a member of the Illuminati", they were sure enough to minimize the negative impact.

"But you don't have to worry about the Black Sea Duchy secretly helping Talos-" Sandra said again, the High Priest of Finrod, who had been broken, was a little embarrassed, and his expression was very stiff, "Whether it is the mage legion, the Black Sea Knights, the adventurer squad, or the mercenary group to find Talos, they must send him to the Grand Temple of the Seven Seas for trial as soon as possible." ”

"Not guilty, Talos is still the Count of Gorgon of the Black Sea, and the Sea Temple has come forward to clarify it, and he has betrayed his faith and sent him directly to the death chamber to be kissed by indulgence!Can we make an agreement on this?"

Leonhard was a little anxious, and in this way, didn't he push Talos into a more dangerous situation?

What's more, there are also the order and knight temples that covet the Frost Holy Crown, and the queen of the Golden Empire who wants revenge outside.

He tried to speak, but was secretly held down by Sandra with magic.

Finrod couldn't see the thoughts of the Black Sea Grand Duke in front of him, but Sandra's willingness to follow the outcome of the Sea Temple's trial helped him very well, and all the grievances since entering the council hall vanished at this moment.

He nodded: "No problem." ”

"Good. Sandra, who was sitting at the top, leaned forward slightly, her eyes sharp, "In order to assist the Sea God Temple in its investigation, I will send a fourth-order archmage—"

Fenrod instinctively wanted to refuse, and God knows if the fourth-order archmage would hunt down Talos or help him at a critical moment.

"If necessary, she can kill Talos on the spot!"

Finrod swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and he looked at Sandra in horror, trying to discern what the Grand Duke of the Black Sea really thought, but couldn't find any place to joke or talk back.

Just a few seconds ago, he was worried that Sandra would be very unwise to turn against the Sea Temple in order to save her son, causing turmoil in the kingdom, but now it seems that he is completely overthinking.

Sandra is not only a powerful legendary mage, a grand duke who created power with her own hands, but also a qualified politician who knows how to make trade-offs, and she can not hesitate to put her beloved son to death for the sake of the Black Sea!

It's really ruthless.
